islands' weekly, april 28, 2015

Q: Who are the Field Boats?

A: The Field Boats are a band of four dads from Lopez Island. We all have day jobs and families with young kids. We all actu-ally have a first-grader in the same class at Lopez

Elementary. We are a busi-ness owner, a heat pump installer, a software engi-neer and a San Juan County employee.

We’re all also musicians. We are renaissance men of the highest order, basically.

Q: How long have the

Field Boats been togeth-er?

A: Since 2012. We’ve had three different drummers along the way.

Q: What are the Field Boats all about?

A: Family. Our goal is to make really good music that supports our families in a way that most people don’t think of music being able to accomplish. The image of burnt-out dudes on tour making no money and leav-ing their families for months on end is the antithesis of our goal. We strive for the local and/or regional grassroots buzz driven by good music and mini-long-weekend tours in the Puget Sound area that our families

can come along on.Q: What kind of music

do the Field Boats play?A: Straight up all origi-

nal Northwest heart-on-the-sleeve rock and roll with an island-based Americana twist.

Q: Why are the Field Boats Playing Solar de Mayo?

A: As dads with young children, we all believe in contributing to a better world.

Climate change has been a looming problem without many solutions for most of our adult lives.

Supporting local efforts that seek to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and start to implement renew-able solutions is a cause

we all can get behind. If playing our hearts out for a couple hours is the best way we can contribute, all the better.

By Cali BagbyWeekly editor

Solar is an important part of almost every life process. That is according to Michel Vekved, outreach and education coordina-tor of the San Juan Islands Conservation District, who has been working on an upcoming fundraiser of Lopez to raise funds for solar in island schools.

The Solar de Mayo Dinner and Benefit Concert is Saturday, May 2, 5:30 p.m. at Lopez Community Center. There will also be music by The Field Boats and special guests Jaise and Kate.

(See Q&A below for more details.) Tickets are $15 per person or $45 for a family of four. Tickets are for sale at Lopez Bookstore and Paper, Scissors on the Rock.

Join islanders for homemade tamales, beans and rice with fresh picante sauce, no-host wine by Vita’s and Island Hoppin’ IPA.

Enjoy dinner and music while helping put solar on the Lopez School. Community Solar for Our Schools is a project to put solar arrays onto schools and solar knowl-edge into the hands of students.

“If we immerse kids into solar power through curriculum and hands-on experi-ence then they grow up with the assump-tion that solar is power not just an alterna-tive,” said Vekved. “Like many of us who learned to recycle, our kids just know to recycle.”

While these solar arrays will generate renewable solar energy, reducing schools’ electricity costs, the educational compo-

nent will provide inspirational opportuni-ties through teacher training, and hands-on experience for students monitoring solar energy.

“Putting solar into our schools is impor-tant because it will lower their utility bills but more importantly it will provide the opportunity to teach our kids that ener-gy can be harnessed from the sun,” said Vekved. “As kids monitor the accumulation of solar energy, they will also watch energy use and learn to be more energy efficient.”

Four solar-electric systems will be installed at the school districts on Orcas, Lopez, San Juan and Shaw Islands. All the energy generated will be donated to the school districts, lowering their elec-tricity costs. Bonneville Environmental

Foundation will provide educational cur-riculum, materials and teacher training through their Solar 4R Schools Program to support our schools’ science programs.

“I think using solar power and monitoring how energy is captured from the sun makes kids more aware of their surroundings and more appreciative of the process and the possibilities,” said Vekved. “By utilizing solar power and learning about what renew-able energy means we are showing that we value our environment, ourselves and our island community.”

“Your contribution can make an impact,” say organizers. “Help us raise funding for Community Solar for Our Schools.”

Q&A with the band the Field BoatsContributed photo / Adam Nash

The Field Boats

The road to univer-sal tolerance is hard

I agree with Senator Kevin

Ranker’s frustration result-ing from inaction by the Washington State Legislature to pass an anti-discrimination statute.

A recent column in the Seattle Times spoke to the societal intolerance within our country. As this issue has unfolded during the past two weeks following legislative action in Indiana and Arkansas, I have been distressed that none of the political pundits, including my favorites on “Morning Joe,” has pointed out that this country fought among our-selves 150 years ago at the cost of 600,000 lives to pro-test the second-class status of an entire ethnic group of Americans.

We have faced this ques-

tion!! Why are we still dealing with this issue 150 years later? If the legislation in Arkansas and Indiana is changed in a legal context, does that change the hearts and minds of those Americans who live there? If the revised legisla-tion states that discrimination of any of a long list of social or ethnic groups is illegal, what other excuse will our frag-mented society find to single out one group for second-class treatment. Will America deconstruct into religious wars between Baptists and

By Migael Scherer On behalf of the Lopez Center Board

Fifteen years old now, and the Lopez Community Center is showing its age.

As with any structure on our island, wind, rain, heat and cold have taken their toll. To say nothing of the over 2,500 spirited events held in the Community Center since it opened in 1999, the meals served from the kitchen, the drinks and appetizers offered in the gallery, the art displayed, the actors and tap dancers and musicians who have performed on the stage and filled the chairs and ris-ers. Weddings to memorials and everything in between, the center is serving our community.

It all adds up to wear and tear that can no longer be ignored and that routine maintenance can’t remedy. Air leaks need sealing. Insulation needs upgrading and repairing. Vents and exhaust fans need to be replaced or upgraded. Supports need to be added to the large south-west-facing windows in the main hall.

To get on top of problems that will only get worse, the center has partnered with Sage Building Solutions, a local leader in energy efficiency, to create a plan to improve building insulation, ventilation and safety.

“The result will be a warmer, safer space,” explains Assistant Director Robert Harrison. “We’ll spend less on

heating and improve the efficiency of heaters and mechan-ical systems. Best of all, preventive renovations will extend the life of the center itself.”

To raise the money needed, Community Center staff and board have devised a two-pronged plan. The first is through the Seattle Foundation’s GiveBIG campaign on May 5: amounts donated online to Lopez Center receive a percentage match.

The second substantially raises the stakes of GiveBIG. Thanks to money pledged by five anonymous Lopez resi-dents, donations will receive an additional 100% match up to $6,500. Through this Lopez Center Renovation Fund, $50 becomes $100. $100 becomes $200. And the goal of raising $13,000 is reachable.

We can do this. Every person who lives on Lopez Island or owns proper-

ty here is a member of the Community Center. The doors are open to all, from infants to elders, from farmers to art-ists to community organizations. Some of us can afford to donate a lot. Others, only a small amount.

Here’s how to help. On May 5, make a donation online through the website

www.seattlefoundation.org. Click the search box, type LCCA, then click “Donate Now.” The Seattle Foundation will match a percentage of your donation to Lopez

Community Center. And your amount will be matched 100% by the Lopez Center Renovation Fund.

If you prefer to give by mail, send your check to Lopez Community Center Association, PO Box 291, Lopez Island, WA 98261. Please mail your donation by Tuesday, May 5. While your mail-in amount will not be matched by GiveBIG, it will be matched 100% by the Lopez Center Renovation Fund.

For more information, contact the center by phone at 468-2203 or email [email protected].

Submitted by the Lions ClubBy anyone’s measure a 40th anni-

versary is impressive! This month the Lopez Island Lions are proud to celebrate their 40th year as a mem-ber of Lions Club International.

Since a service-oriented group of Lopezians established the Lopez Chapter in 1975, Lopez Lions have been serving our community in a vari-ety of ways. Some may see Lions as just “those folks wearing yellow vests” who invade the Lopez Village Market periodically to sell calendars and other paraphernalia, but club members know they are a vital part of our community.

Have you ever wondered: Who puts on the Fourth of July Fun Run and organizes the July 4th parade? Who provides a warm fire, hot choc-olate and home-baked cookies to welcome island children and their families to the annual Christmas Ship at Odlin Park? Who coordinates

and staffs the blood drives? Who collects food and other nonperish-able items several times a year for the local Food Bank? Who publishes the annual birthday/anniversary cal-endar? Who helps the Thrift Shop get recyclables and trash to the transfer station? Who moves Thrift Shop treasures to the school for the annual Christmas sale? Who collects and distributes eyeglasses and hear-ing aids, and who pays for eye and hearing exams? Lopez Lions sponsor these much loved and appreciated events, and many more.

In addition, all revenue generated by Lions Club projects goes back to the Lopez community.

Ironically, while Lopez Lions play a key role in our community, they cur-rently face the challenge of maintain-ing sufficient membership in order to continue to support their long estab-lished projects.

The efforts of the members of Lions enrich the lives of Lopezians in ways that the government can’t or won’t. As governmental budgets become more strained funding police and fire protec-tion and meeting other needs, service clubs such as Lions have stepped in to fill the void. The Lopez Lions believe the effort is well worth the benefits. Maybe you do too.

Numerous studies have shown that those who give of their time, treasure and talent feel better about themselves and are generally happier than those who don’t.

Do you have what it takes to be a Lion? All that is needed is a willingness to participate with other members, have fun and make a real and signifi-cant contribution to the community.

Contact Jim Ghiglione at 468-2991 to learn more about the Lopez Island Lions Club and how you can help your community.

Mormons over an interpre-tation of God’s word? Will we battle like the Sunnis and the Shias over whose leader was the rightful successor to Mohammed? For 1,500 years?

Why are we intolerant of folks who are slightly dif-ferent from those we each hold dear? Does not every mother, everywhere in the world, wake each day and hope that her children will be safe, happy, healthy and well fed? Why, as a species, are we so intolerant?

If we regress to the hatreds of 150 years ago as expressed by Henry Wise in the Seattle

Times column, what is the future for our grandchildren, and that of their grandchil-dren?

We must speak up and push back against the hatred and intolerance expressed in Indiana and Arkansas. We must all become like Ghandi and Martin Luther King. It is apparent that the road to universal tolerance is very, very long and hard.

Thank you, United Way

Hamlet House would like to send a big thank you to United Way of San Juan County.

It is with the ongoing support of United Way that Hamlet House continues to provide top-notch care on Lopez Islands’ only Adult Family Home.

Having competent, dedi-cated caregivers is the first and most important step in providing quality direct care for our aging community.

Hamlet House residents

thrive under the knowledge-able and watchful eye of a dynamite team of caregiv-ers who attend to both sup-porting residents with life’s basic ADL’s and, equally important, supporting the social and emotional well-being of those in our care.

By granting their support to the Hamlet House care-giving team United Way is making a significant impact on the quality of care and services we are able to pro-vide.

This support also makes a clear statement that the quality of care our seniors receive matters and the work we do is valued.

Since opening in April of 2008 Hamlet House has been home to more than 20 full-time and respite resi-dents.

Thank you so much for your support as we continue to strive to be the best we can be for our residents. Our success is your suc-cess.Hamlet House Residents

April is Sexual Assault awareness month. It is a month that for most people passes without a thought about sexual assault. But for some, it is a grim reminder of a day or days that they would rather not remember. Each year there are an estimated 293,000 victims of sexual assault, one every 107 sec-onds. Only 68 percent of all sexual assaults are reported to the police. Studies show that two thirds of all assaults are committed by someone who knew the victim.

The effects of a sexual assault is dramatic and life-changing for everyone. Personal relationships fall apart, self-esteem is destroyed, depression and often suicide

attempts result. But the good news is this can all be avoided by educating our children and educating ourselves.

Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services provide advocates for the victims of San Juan County. They are a nonprofit organization, which is funded strictly by grants and donations and volunteers.

Recently a Men’s Action Group was formed which is looking for male role mod-els to stand up against domestic violence and sexual assault. If you are interested, contact the DVSAS offices. You can get information from their website www.dvsas-sanjuans.org. It is time we all stand up and put a stop to Domestic Violence and Sexual Assaults.

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM 2

By Cali BagbyWeekly editor

A Washington State Ferry employee was crushed between two cars on the Elwha last Friday at around 5:30 p.m.

The ferry worker was flown by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center, according to ferries spokes-person Susan Harris. He was released the same day with-out any serious injuries.

Harris said whenever there is an accident on a ferry, their

risk management team per-forms an investigation.

“There is always a lesson learned,” she said.

According to witnesses Bob and Meg Connor, who have lived on the island for 40 years, the accident occurred as the ferry was docked on Orcas.

Meg recalls that it was odd that cars were being loaded while she and her husband were waiting to unload. The couple was parked on the left back of the ferry near

the stern when they noticed a large flatbed truck slowly loading onto the boat. A few minutes later she heard a “loud impact noise.” She then saw a ferry worker pinned between the truck and anoth-er car. The truck immediately backed away from the ferry worker, who then fell to the ground.

“It was horrifying,” said Meg. “It happened so sud-denly.”

The Lopez Lamb, Wool and Goat Festival is ba-a-a-ck!

Local vendors will offer island-made goat cheese, textiles, yarn, fleece, meat and other related products. Daytime events are free of charge.

Nearly twice as many people living in San Juan County this year had no place to call home com-pared to the same time a year ago, according to the most recent homeless sur-vey.

Results of the 2015 “Point-in-Time” homeless count, a state-mandated single-day annual survey, show that 133 people living in the San Juans have no stable place to live.

Of the 133 people identi-fied as homeless in the 2015 count, 80 people, includ-ing children and disabled persons, were living out-of-doors, in vehicles or in abandoned buildings. The remainder had temporary or unstable living arrange-ments, typically with family or friends.

The 2015 point-in-time survey was conducted Jan. 29.

Organizers of the count worked with volunteers, family resource centers, food banks, churches, healthcare workers, senior centers, libraries and the sheriff’s office to compile the results. A total of 65 people were identified as homeless in the 2014 count, with 44 of those listed as liv-ing out-of-doors.

County organizers antici-pated a rise in homeless numbers, due to increased

The San Juan Preservation Trust announces the launch of a major fund-raising campaign to create a new nature preserve in the heart of San Juan Island. The Campaign to Save Mount Grant, if successful, will permanently protect one of San Juan’s most valuable gems and make it accessible to the public.

The 141-acre property, valued for years by locals as a hiking destination,

was identified on historic maps as “Mt. Grant” as late as 1920. Known by various names since then, it was most recently marketed as the “Lawson Ridge” resi-dential community. The property hosts important native plant and animal habi-tat, lush wildflower meadows, serene hiking trails, and, with some improve-ments, easy road access to the summit so that people of all ages and physi-

cal ability can enjoy the spectacular, 360-degree views. From the top, one can gaze northeast to Mount Baker and the Twin Sisters, southeast down into San Juan Valley and Lopez Island, and north/northwest to Stuart Island and beyond to the Canadian Gulf Islands.

On March 9, the Preservation Trust and the Land Bank made a $1.0 million down payment on the $3 million purchase. A $2 million seller-financed loan is secured by the land itself; should this conservation partnership default on this loan, the sellers would likely re-list the lots for sale as private residential estates.

The Campaign to Save Mount Grant is being overseen by a steering committee

of 22 community volunteers. The $4.2 mil-lion fundraising goal includes transaction expenses related to the acquisition as well as a $1 million endowment for stewardship of the new preserve and maintenance of visitor amenities. The County Land Bank has committed $1.5 million in public funds to this effort; the Preservation Trust is now responsible for raising the remaining $2.7 million.

To launch the campaign, an island family has offered to match every gift received before Sept. 1, 2015, up to $500,000. This follows on the heels of a gift fundraising period that yielded $765,000 from 80 island households. For info, visit www.sjpt.org/mountgrant.

Reservations will be made available in a staggered format for summer sailings in the San Juans, a preventive step to avoid a system overload.

Beginning April 28, reservations will be available for sailings between June 14 and June 30. On April 30, sailings from July 1 through July 15 will be available (see accom-panying chart for availability for the rest of the summer schedule).

The modification to a staggered release format follows the collapse of Washington State Ferries reservation sys-tem—for San Juan sailings—that occurred April 14 because of a surge in demand.

Of the 4,400 reservations made April 14, in conjunction with the release of the summer schedule, 1,850 were for summer sailings before the deluge overwhelmed WSF’s reservation system and knocked it offline. WSF reportedly received tens of thousands of online reservations requests and handled more than 3,000 phone calls that day as well.

All sailings for the spring schedule (ending June 13) remain available for reservations.

In the San Juans, only 30 percent of vehicle space is avail-able to be reserved with the change of the schedule. An additional 30 percent becomes available two weeks before any sailing, and the final 30 percent becomes available two days before a sailing.

The remaining 10 percent remains open for drive-up and those with medical priority.

For more information, visit WSF’s reservation system here.

Although spring was early this year, it doesn’t “officially” start until the Lopez Garden Club has its Giant Plant Sale. This year’s highly anticipated event is happening on Thursday, May 14, from 10 a.m. until noon at Woodmen Hall on Fisherman Bay Road. Eager Lopez gardeners line up early to have first shot at selecting many wonder-ful and sometimes unique plants that other garden-ers from all over the island have donated. The selec-tion of plants includes trees, shrubs, perennials, ground-covers, herbs, veggie and berry starts and a variety of native species. There will also be the popular section of new and used garden books for sale.

This special event will again include the awesome

and successful silent auc-tion. Bidding is expected to be lively as we will have many new and one-of-a-kind plants and other gar-den items. The auction will close promptly at 11 a.m. shoppers can bid on a fabu-lous assortment of plants, garden-related items and gift certificates donated by local businesses and nurs-eries, including some from the mainland and San Juan Island. This year’s contrib-utors are Friday Harbor Hardware and Marine, Azusa Farm and Gardens, D Avenue Nursery, Fisherman Bay Botanicals, Lopez Bookshop, Lopez Village Market, Midnight’s Farm, Miles Becker of Skookum Tree Care, Mitchell Bay Farm, Nathan Donnelly of Reverence Permaculture, Paper Scissors on the Rock,

Skagit Valley Food Co-op, Skagit Valley Gardens, Sunset Builder’s Nursery, Sweetbriar Farm, T & D Farms, The Market at Anacortes, and Wells Nursery, as well as many other individuals.

Funds raised by the

Plant Sale are used by the Garden Club to finance its yearly scholarship award-ed to a graduating Lopez High School senior and to provide stipends to guest speakers who give presen-tations at the Garden Club meetings. Members of the

Garden Club meet monthly, September through June, on the second Thursday of the month at Woodmen Hall, from 9:30 a.m. till noon. Every other year the Garden Club also sponsors the Lopez Island Garden Tour, which is a real treat

for everyone to see what is possible to grow on this rock we call home. The next tour will be coming up this year on June 11.

Donate any plants you are thinning out or would like to share. Donations can be dropped off at Woodmen Hall on Wednesday, May 13, from 3 to 5 p.m.
