Fire on Cousins Road

Islands’ eekly W

VOLUME 38, NUMBER 34 • AUGUST 25, 2015

Eyewitness account

When the Cousins Road grass fire started on Aug. 18, Jenny Natapow, who lives at Mossyrock Farm where the fire began and other islanders, started a bucket brigade. “It was a sight to behold watching the fire crew and EMTs arrive and spring into action,” she said. “I was so impressed. We also had a citizen effort going before they arrived and one fireman even told us that he was so impressed that we had water on the fire before they did.” Natapow also said: “My favorite stories around the fire involve the cows that had to be freed and are now in greener pasture. A team was even out yesterday, not only still dealing with residual smoldering, but also reuniting a heifer with her calf.

The pasture is in a neighbor’s yard. Steven Sullivan is nicely letting the cows stay. “There was also a family from

France staying at Mossyrock farm. They were part of the hose and bucket brigade. The fire was burning at the woods edge where

a fawn had been safely bedded down for the day. When the fire broke out she did not know which way to run and was trapped. A

man actually put the hose on the deer, as well as the fire, to encourage the fawn to run into the woods – which she eventually did.”

Supreme Court fines state $100,000 per day over school ruling By Dennis Box Special to the Weekly

The Washington state Supreme Court let the

hammer fall today in the McCleary education case ordering the state to pay $100,000 a day and calling for Gov. Jay Inslee to call

the Legislature into special session to resolve the issue. The order stated the “remedial penalty” of $100,000 per day beginning

Aug. 13 until the Legislature “adopts a complete plan for complying with article IX, section 1 by the 2018 school year.”

The Article IX preamble in the Washington Constitution states, “It is the paramount duty of the state to make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders, without distinction or preference on account of race, color, caste or sex.” The Court ruling stated the fine is to be placed into a “segregated account for the benefit of basic education.” The Supreme Court found the state in contempt on Sept. 11, 2014, but held back sanctions until the completion of the 2015

Legislative Session. “After the close of that session and following multiple special sessions, the State still has offered no plan for achieving full constitutional compliance by the deadline the legislature itself adopted,” the Aug. 13 Court order stated. The Court ruled because the state has not complied with the 2012 McCleary ruling to fulfill its Constitutional obligation to fund education, “this court must take immediate action to enforce its orders.”

A homeowner’s view of the Lopez Home Tour

by Migael Scherer

The Lopez Island Home Tour offers so much: an up-close look at hidden away properties; design ideas; a day’s entertainment. This year’s tour is September 12th, from 11-4 pm. But what’s it like for those whose homes are on the tour? What motivates them? “We were excited to be living on Lopez full-time, and proud of our new home,” Marney Reynolds says of her and Page Read’s then newly-built house, shown on the 2009 Tour. They’d moved to the island knowing just a few people, and their first winter was “a bit lonely.” The Home Tour connected them to Lopez right away. Becky and Steven Tilles, whose home was shown last year, agree. “Although we don’t live here full time, it made us feel part of the Lopez community.” Homeowners also cite the importance of supporting the Community Center. As one of its primary fundraisers, the Tour nets about $20,000, roughly 10% of the Center’s annual budget. In a very real sense participating in a Home Tour forges a strong link to Lopez. Committee members do everything they can to support homeowners, including a dinner the night before with tours of each other’s homes. Docents and helpers arrive early on Home Tour morning and stay to clean up. “Our house looked better after the Tour than before,” a 2014 homeowner reported. “Support and communication was excellent,” says another. “We’d do it again in a second!” What about strangers walking through your home? Though the Tour is only advertised locally, some owners feel apprehensive before the event—but not during and after. “We recognized many of our visitors,” recalls Jeanne DiNicola, whose home was shown in 2012. Visitors described people who had previously lived there, stories that made the house “seem to have a life of its own.” “We felt good about people’s curiosity,” said Bill and Marty Holm of their 2013 experience. “They asked many questions and appeared to enjoy the conversations and explanations.” Of course, getting ready takes work. Most owners clean their homes from top to bottom. Raiti Waerness had wanted to have her house repainted for the 2012 Tour. “But it was too late,” she says. “So I decided I wasn’t going to worry about it.” Having a friend rearrange her art had the most impact. “I ended up with a better home.” For Marney Reynolds and Page Read, the Home Tour was a great motivator to complete their new house. “We finished all the small things that hang on after a building project, that you say you’ll get to someday, but never do.” She and Page did it all themselves, “even the windows.” And what do this year’s owners have to say as they prepare for the Home Tour? “I get to complete the things I never got around to for years,” says Kirm Taylor, laughing. “We’re getting rid of piles of junk. When it’s done it won’t be a showpiece—it’ll look like a home that we’re very pleased to share.”

Sheriff’s Log The San Juan County Sheriff ’s Office responded to the following calls. Aug. 12 • A deputy received a report of a car prowl and theft at the Lopez Island ferry terminal. The reporting person stated an unidentified person entered his unoccupied vehicle and removed several items, after he parked it so he could travel off island. No suspects or witnesses have been identified. • An attorney turned in an accordion file full of Narconon books and documents found in the bushes next to the courthouse in Friday Harbor. There was no identifying information in it. It will be held for possible return to the owner. • A San Juan Island deputy observed a subject exiting a vehicle. The subject had a newly issued department of corrections warrant for his arrest. He was arrested without incident. • An Orcas Island woman arrived at the Orcas Island substation and reported a weapon offense. Deputies completed an investigation and documented their findings in a report. • An Orcas deputy responded to a potential residential burglary in progress on Lloyds Lane. It was determined that no burglary had occurred and that the suspicious circumstances that were found by the reporting person when he arrived home were caused by an injured house pet. • A citizen contacted the Orcas substation regarding a cyberstalking case. The suspect is known. Aug. 13 • A Lopez Island deputy was called to an early morning disturbance when an intoxicated man woke neighbors while trying to call his missing dog by yelling and blowing an air horn. The deputy con-

vinced the man to call it a day, and the dog would probably return on its own by morning. • A deputy responded to Ferry Road on Lopez Island after a vehicle struck a construction road flagger. Although there was no evidence of negligence, the vehicle driver was arrested due to an outstanding arrest warrant. He posted bail and agreed to attend a future court hearing. • A Lopez deputy was dispatched to a reported car prowl. The victim’s vehicle was entered over the weekend at the Lopez Ferry terminal and the stereo removed. No suspect information. • A San Juan Island resident turned in a Sig model 15 .22 LR handgun, which had been in the family for many years. The weapon was no longer wanted in the home so it was turned over to the Sheriff ’s Office to be disposed of according to law. Aug. 14 • The manager of an apartment complex in Friday Harbor reported a theft of coins from laundry room change collectors and miscellaneous towels. The suspect was seen on the surveillance cameras. • An Orcas Island man reported seeing someone remove his crab pot from the water in front of his residence. The person taking the crab pot was contacted and it was determined there was a misunderstanding on

who owned the pot. • A Friday Harbor business reported that a customer came in and took 12 manila envelopes without paying. • An Orcas Island woman called the police to report an unwanted person at her residence that she had asked to leave. The subject eventually left prior to the deputy’s arrival. • Money in an envelope was turned into the Sheriff ’s Office in Friday Harbor. • A Deputy spoke with a Lopez Island resident regarding several missing prepaid visa cards. The reporting person stated he suspected a friend of his

stole them from his car while he was giving them a ride. The investigation continues. • Two deputies responded to a vehicle prowl in Eastsound. Someone entered and disabled a vehicle. A suspect may be known and related to two other cases. A report was taken. • An Orcas deputy investigated a report of apparent malicious mischief. Further investigation revealed that a there was probable cause to believe that a male had committed the crime of malicious mischief, vehicle SEE SHERIFF’S LOG, PAGE 8

Community & Connection, Lopez-Style Everyone passes “those cute cottages” coming to and from the Village, but the question comes up surprisingly often, what are they and who lives there? The answer: The Hamlet Cottages are beautiful small homes for rent to people age 55 and over. Before the cottages were built, Lopez Islanders who wanted to downsize had no good options. Most moved off island to find what they were looking for, a serious loss for both those doing the moving and the community of friends they left behind. The issue was solved beautifully when The Cottages opened in 2008. While the cottages feel spacious thanks to excellent design (think skylights, cathedral ceilings, sunny living rooms, porches front and back, separate laundry room, etc.), in reality they were built for those wanting to give up the big family house for simplicity. The footprint of the 2-bedroom cottages is a lean 990 square feet. What to do when all the kids want to come by for family dinner or it’s your turn to host the book club? Good planning back in the day solved that one. The Gathering Place, the large building on the west end of the Hamlet Green, is the residents’ “community living room.” Spacious and gracious, all sorts of fun happens here from private parties and family dinners to art openings (Lopez Artists Guild provides art shows throughout the year, if you haven’t seen Heather Gladstone’s current photography exhibit, you should.) The Gathering Place is also the venue for lectures and concerts that are open to the public. Often there are impromptu resident events like last weekend’s salmon and crab dinner – thanks again to the generous local fisherman who dropped by with “more than he could possibly eat” and offered his bounty to the Cottagers. Wow! Today this vibrant little community proves, once again, that Lopez islanders live life with flair, ingenuity and style. If you’re someone who drives by and wonders what’s happening here, wonder no more. Please stop in! The office, located in The Gathering Place, is open most weekdays 10 am – 3 pm. Or better yet, pick up a ticket to the LCCA Home Tour. Ed and Diana Sheridan’s lovely cottage home is featured this year, a great opportunity see this very special Lopez community for yourself.

Community Land Trust’s Salish Way Open House Nestled in a lightly wooded area, just north of the Lopez Community Land Trust office, is the new co-op neighborhood, Salish Way. Three new homeowners, three women and three children welcomed over 100 visitors to view their homes at their Open House on July 19. Two of the women grew up on Lopez and now, they in turn, are raising their children here. The homeowners, together with their building partners, put in over 1,200 hours of sweat equity, alongside interns and professional carpenters. This represents the sixth neighborhood developed by LCLT over the last 26 years. Two of the homes are con-

sidered “tiny houses” with a footprint of 390 square feet. The third home has two bedrooms plus a flex room, with a footprint of 870 square feet. These homes are designed to be net zerothat is, utilizing no more energy than is produced on site. Solar panels of 6.5 kilowatt for the homes were placed on LCLT’s nearby office buildings in order to capture horizon-to-horizon sun. Each home has highefficiency windows, insulated blinds, an air-to-water heat pump for hot water and an air-to-air heat pump for indoor heating. The walls contain blown cellulose for insulation, rigid foam under the slab and “super tight” air sealing.

Guests were greeted with finger foods, a slideshow of the construction process and the unique decor of each homeowner. A rain shower that afternoon did nothing to dampen the spirits of the homeowners or their guests. Each home gives the sensation of privacy, despite the density, and an attractive cedar fence surrounding the neighborhood is being built. Guests were struck by the individual arrangements and colors of the homes, from the deep yellow of the interior walls of one of the studios to the baby blue of another. Ample natural light pours through windows from all four directions in each home. The view

of rooftops and a forested ridge above Fisherman Bay is visible from the southfacing living areas, and from the west one can see the rich sunsets of the island.

One homeowner said that she feels as if her house is “on top of the world.” The children of Salish Way will join others at the adjacent Common Ground and

Tierra Verde playground. Future homes are planned for farther down Salish Way. For more information, see www.lopezclt.org or email lcltda@rockisland.com.

Save the meeting dates and join the work

Life is not a sitcom, where problems are solved in less than 30 minutes and somewhere in between commercials, particularly when it comes to the issues of mental health and substance abuse. Many hours of community meetings have gone into the vital work needed to find solutions to mental health, substance abuse and the meth problem on Lopez. Earlier this summer over 150 members of the Lopez community met in various meetings to discuss concerns and solutions related to the support and protection of community members affected by these concerns. “It’s exciting to report that great things have come out of the ‘Let’s Talk Lopez’ community meetings,” said Georgeana Cook, executive coordinator of the Lopez

Island Prevention Coalition, organizer of the meetings. For those who have participated thus far - their efforts, ideas and continued diligence have made a difference. The feedback has been positive and changes are beginning to happen. “The deputies report that since our early summer meetings the tip line calls to the Sheriff’s Office have increased. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it, is what I hear from law enforcement.” Less obvious changes are also being noted. What has been done on Lopez is now part of county-wide conversation about resources. A grant has been received to address youth mental health through a free community-wide training, and anyone who works with youth is invited to participate.

Youth in the community are stepping forward as they ask for help for their friends who need help with substance abuse. The ripple of conversation has begun a wave of change. With the end of summer in sight and fall just around the corner, it’s time to move forward with the great ideas and suggestions that have been presented. Thursday, Aug. 27 will mark the first of the second series of meetings for the broader issues of mental health and substance abuse.

Marijuana-positive drivers increased in 2014

Submitted by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission

Newly released data from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission shows that marijuana is increasing as a factor in deadly crashes. The number of drivers involved in deadly crashes who tested positive for marijuana increased 48 percent from 2013 to 2014. “We have seen marijuana involvement in fatal crashes remain steady over the years, and then it just spiked in 2014,” said Dr. Staci Hoff, WTSC Data and Research Director. From 2010-2014, nearly 60 percent of drivers involved in fatal collisions were tested for drugs. Among these tested drivers, approximately 20 percent (349 drivers) were positive for marijuana. However, just testing positive for mari-

Solid feedback and great ideas have also laid the foundation for those focusing on meth, and their next series of meetings will begin Thursday, Sept. 3. All meetings will be held from 6-8 p.m. at Woodmen Hall. ALL community members are invited to participate.

juana doesn’t necessarily indicate if a driver was actually affected by the drug at the time of the crash since marijuana can be detected in a person’s blood for days (possibly weeks) after a person uses the drug. This new data is able to distinguish between drivers who test positive for tetrahydrocannabnol, better known as THC, the impairing substance in marijuana and those who have residual marijuana in their system from prior use which may have occurred days ago. The number of drivers testing positive for active THC has steadily increased, from less than half of marijuana positive drivers in 2010 up to almost 65 percent of drivers in 2013. In 2014, an alarming 85 percent (75 of 89 drivers) of drivers testing positive for marijuana were positive for impairing THC. “With this data we are finally able to see who was high during the crash versus which drivers had used marijuana in the past few days,” said Hoff. “The answer in 2014 is most of them were high.” Approximately half of these THC-positive drivers exceeded the 5 ng/ml THC per se limit. (A “per se” limit is the amount of a substance in a person’s blood that according to Washington law makes the person DUI notwithstanding other evidence.)

A week in the life of the LIFRC summer workshops Contributed photo

Seventy-five kids will join LIFRC for five differen summer classes.

Contributed by LIFRC Staff

It’s the last week of July, and we’re busy at the Lopez Island Family Resource Center. We’re in the midst of preparing for over 75 kids to join us for five different workshops at Lopez School this week. In addition, six middle-schoolers will be leaving midweek for the Seafaring, Voyaging and Camping trip, a Sea Kayaking Fundamental Skills class for adults will be taking place, a free “open gym” will take place Thursday night, and we are co-sponsoring a Barn Dance with Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. It’s going to be a fun-filled week! One of our largest classes this week is the Girl’s Circus Camp, based out of Eugene, Ore. Darcy, the energetic and charismatic leader of this camp, talks a lot about “GIRL POWER!”, and with 25 girls in this camp, we can see why. Darcy and her assistant teach the kids a variety of skills, including baton tricks, hula hoop stunts, acrobatics, juggling, tumbling, theatrics and, of course, teamwork! One game involves the girls forming a tight circle together, carefully leaning back, bending their knees, and ultimately the group is all sitting on each other’s laps in a circle formation. Darcy informs me they are the first of her camps this season to successfully accomplish this! On confidential surveys given out to the girls at the end of camp, responses varied from, “I would suggest having this camp for two weeks instead of one because it was so fun!” to “I got much stronger and flexible in my body,” to simply, “I LOVE IT!!!!!!” Meanwhile, kids at Lego VEXIQ are creating some impressive robots. As one of us watched, Willem Scholten (who coaches one of Seattle’s top performing Lego Robotics teams) helped a child program a robot to pick up and throw a ball into a goal. A kid cheered as his robot made

the perfect shot. We could see why, according to Scholten, Lego Robotics “… is a perfect way to teach students teamwork and to have kids experience the wonders of applied math, physics, biology and the sciences in general as well as computers [STEM].” This workshop, as well as the afternoon Lego WeDo class, appears to be teaching the kids in a hands-on, accessible and exciting way, and the kids just love it! As one child put it, “This [camp] was amazing.” In the Music Room, Rachel Buchman is running two music camps, one for 3-4-year-olds and another for 5-6-year-olds. Buchman has twice been a Grammy award semi-finalist for children’s music, and is the current

teaching artist for the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. Due to popularity, the camp was lengthened this year to four days, and kids seem to still be eager for more. The class that one of us observe starts off with a focus on learning musical scales in a fun, simple way. As Buchman plays an ascending scale on the piano and sang “Will you please stand up?,” the kids stood up together. As the scale descended and Buchman sang “Will you please sit down,” the kids collapsed in giggles on the floor. We love how fully present and engaged the kids were! My favorite part of the class was when Buchman set each child up with an instrument – such as a drum or marimba – and had them play along to a song they previously learned to sing. She also made sure that they rotated instruments, so that they could try everything! A lot of the kids from the Music Camp also show up for the Barn Dance. Kids love “riding” the hay bale

horses (complete with saddles), and Buchman, accompanied by local musicians ages 11 to adult, calls a variety of dances that are great for all ages. Children skip around the room with each other, with their parents and with their adult friends. Buchman does some silly

Obituary:

Barbara Jean Fleming

At home in her beloved San Juan Islands, Barbara Jean Fleming passed away on Lopez Island on Aug. 15, 2015 following a long and heroic stare-down with ovarian cancer. She was 80 years old. Born in Swedish Hospital to Samuel and Agnes Fleming on May 14, 1935, Barbara grew up in Seattle and graduated from Franklin High School in 1953 before enrolling in the nursing program at the University of Washington. Her college experience served as the catalyst for a life committed to public health, as well as the beginning of many deep and lasting friendships. After graduating from UW and eventually earning a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from Santa Clara University, her career took her from Seattle to San Jose to Santa Cruz, where she served as a public health nurse with a focus in communicable diseases. Her clients and her assignments were diverse, but she was particularly gratified by the contributions she made to the lives of her low-income, immigrant and AIDS patients. Barbara lived in Seattle, Mercer Island, Los Gatos, Apartments for Rent Employment San Juan County General

Calif., and Capitola, Calif., before retiring in the San Juan Islands. Once at home in the islands, she became very active in her Orcas and Lopez Island communities, serving on a number of nonprofit and public boards while testing her Master Gardnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills every year in an epic struggle to maintain a vegetable garden in the parched sandy soils of her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waldron Island retreat. Along the way, Barbara devoted herself to raising a family that included her children Tim Seifert (Sonya Erickson), Mike Seifert (Anne) and Nancy Sunitsch (Scott). She voted for Richard Nixon and Barack Obama, she experimented with nudism and Buddhism (among many other diversions that delighted her friends and puzzled her children), and through her experiences as a public health official became a fierce advocate for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health issues. But she found her true calling in her seven grandchildren (Madeline, Samantha, Matthew, Scott, Catherine, Grace and Eva), who found in their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nonnieâ&#x20AC;? a patient playmate, a confidential friend and a wise and

By Gretchen Wing Special to the Weekly

Asha Lela, Dennis and Meg Ryan, and Lexi and Kirm Taylor are just a few Lopezians who are grateful for the beautiful natural haven they found on Lopez. And all of them honored the island by building their homes with materials from their land. Lela, the Ryans and the Taylors own three of the seven homes on this year’s 12th annual Lopez Island Home Tour, the primary fundraiser for Lopez Center. The theme this year, if there WERE a theme, could easily be “Living the Dream,” as all seven sets of homeowners moved to Lopez from

elsewhere. Their gratitude prompted them to integrate Lopez’s past, both natural and cultivated, into their homesteads, as well as to provide amenities for the next generation. Back in the late ‘70s, Lela named her property “Ravens Rook” in a nod to her winged Shark Reef Road neighbors. She cut and hand-peeled the rafter poles for her octagonal home from the forest around her; other trees were milled for lumber. Both Lexi and Kirm Taylor’s two-story home, and the new bunkhouse on Dennis and Meg Ryan’s property, follow that building model, incorporating on-site cedars and firs.

Sudoku Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle. The difficulty ranges from 1-5 (easy) 6-10 (moderate) and 11-15 (hard). Today’s puzzle is level 12. Sudoku and Crossword answers on page 3

The Taylors’ big fireplace is made of stones from their five-acre parcel. Those homes not built of Lopezian materials still emphasize Lopezian beauty, like Anne Hietbrink and Beth Shirk’s “jewel box” home on Bayshore Road, built by Mike Krajack. They say their second-floor master bedroom feels like sleeping in a tree house. The homesite maintains its original trees, including two majestic madronas which dominate their water view. Laura and Curtis Walker’s Fisherman Bay house features wrap-around decks, allowing them to enjoy both sunrise and sunset as well as the abundant wildlife that visits their low-bank beach. They left the shake siding

The deputy responded and contacted the owner, which resulted in getting the cows back into their field. • A Lopez Island deputy took two dogs into custody for running at large after they followed a jogger for about 1.5 miles and refused commands to “go home.” The dog owner was cited for dog at large. • A motorcycle operator was cited for passing in a no passing zone. • A deputy responded to a report of an unwanted person in Eastsound. After further investigation, the unwanted person was located and told not to have any further contact with the complainant.

• A Friday Harbor person heard suspicious noises in and around his/her apartment. • A Lopez Island deputy was called to investigate the killing of three chickens by a dog running at large in the area. The dog was seen by the owner of the chickens, but could not be caught. • A deputy was contacted at the Sheriff ’s Office in reference to malicious mischief that occurred in the Friday Harbor area. The reporting deputy took photos of the damage and the victim provided a statement and a case number for insurance purposes. • A deputy received a theft complaint from a Lopez Island resident.

unpainted to better blend in with their beach environment. Lopez’s historical heritage is another prominent facet of some of this year’s homes. At the old Iowa-style farmhouse Kip Greenthal’s family bought in 1960, they had to peel off seven layers of wallpaper to restore the original wood paneling! Large, paned windows frame the fields, the barn and the old orchard, showcasing nearly 135 years of cultivation. The Ryans’ farmhouse, north of the village on Fisherman Bay Road, dates from 1914, and in completing its recent renovation, they honored the building’s original design. Some homes on this year’s tour reflect Lopezian culture in more subtle ways.

The Walker home’s original owner asked a Seattle architect to create a barn-like effect, tall and shake-sided. And in the village center, Diana and Ed Sheridan’s Hamlet home sits within strolling distance of nearly every cultural amenity on the island. Another common aspect of many of this year’s tour homes: welcoming the next generation to Lopez. Lela’s home contains her childhood piano, now played by all four of her Lopezian grandchildren. The Taylors’ home contains a downstairs study that doubles as a video or game room for grandkids. And the Ryans are doing their part to make sure their house will be there for future generations, no matter what Mother Earth has in store for Lopez: their home and studio building are made with insulated panels and rammed earth walls, making them virtually fire, water

and earthquake-proof. Speaking of her home, Lela says, “I see a reflection of my dreams and of myself manifested in a form that has a permanence that shaped my life.” That sentiment likely extends to all of this year’s homeowners. So perhaps “Lopez: Past Meets Future” is a more appropriate theme, if there WERE a theme. The Home Tour takes place on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with all proceeds benefitting Lopez Center. Well over half the funds the Lopez Home Tour Committee raised from the tour comes from sponsors, whom the committee wishes to thank: 87 sponsors this year, 14 more than 2014! Tickets for the tour are available at the Saturday Market, on the LCCA website or at the center.
