By Julie Summers Special to the Islands’ Weekly

Every Tuesday for more than five years, Pat Meacham has picked up surplus food from Blossom Organic Grocery to stock Lopez Fresh, which helps feed dozens of local families and individuals each month. “Somebody asked me to do it‌ it needed to be done,â€?

Meacham said about her involvement with the fresh food bank project.

It’s volunteers like Meacham that Georgeana Cook, coordinator for the Lopez Island Prevention Coalition (LIPC), wants to celebrate at the 4th Annual Stone Soup Supper, Friday, Sept. 23, 6 p.m. at the Community Center.

The Stone Soup Supper takes its name from a wellknown folk story in which hungry travelers implore a community for food. Although reluctant at first, the villagers are intrigued when the trav-

“We’re helping our neighbors... there’s a face to the stories and the need that’s out there.� — Pat Meacham on volunteering on Lopez Island

elers begin making “soupâ€? by boiling stones in a pot of water. Each villager contributes a little and eventually everyone enjoys a bountiful stew. The story relates perfectly to Lopez, said Cook. “That is often what we do here on Lopez‌,â€? Cook said. “Everyone brings what they have and somehow we make it work.â€?

Another volunteer that “makes it work� is Donna Ince, who was taking yoga from Felicity Green when Green started a yoga class for seniors and dubbed it “Creaky Yoga.�

With over 25 years of experience as a yoga student, helping with the class seemed natural, said Ince.

Now taught by Corrie Haight, who also volunteers her time, the “by donation� class attracts over 30 seniors,

ranging from age 50 to over 90, each week.

Ince enjoys volunteering in her areas of interest and knowledge because, she said, “I feel like that’s where I give the most.�

Volunteering is both particularly important and especially rewarding on Lopez, said both Ince and Meacham. “[When we volunteer on Lopez],� said Meacham. “We’re helping our neighbors... there’s a face to the stories and the need that’s out there.�

Everybody participating is “part of the spirit of this community,� Ince said. “You don’t ever volunteer without getting back; it’s a trade-off. It does as much for me as I do for them — maybe more.�

It’s that collaborative, mutually beneficial spirit that Cook wants to celebrate at

the Stone Soup Supper. One of the Coalition’s primary goals is to promote healthy community activities, she said. “Bringing together volunteers from a wide variety of organizations gives us a chance to acknowledge each other’s efforts and also sets a positive example for our youth.�

The event will also launch the LIPC’s initiative to recognize volunteer service in the Lopez community through the President’s Volunteer Service Award.

The LIPC and the Lopez Island Conservation Corps are certifying organizations and can help volunteers sign up, track their hours, and receive the award.

Cook said the idea came from her experience with the D.R.E.A.M. (Drug-Related Education and Advocacy Mentors) Team at the school.

In one year, this group of ten students logged almost 1,500 SEE SUPPER, PAGE 6

Seedlings must rely on soil fungi that “infect� the germinating seed and are then eaten by the developing orchid. Unlike tropical epiphytic orchids (including most orchids grown as houseplants), many terrestrial orchids never outgrow this dependency.

Future of SJC shorelines

By Chris Hoffman Special to the Islands’ Weekly

quired.

ment re

No

mmit term co

In the past shoreline development in Washington tended to be piecemeal and uncoordinated, which often had negative impacts on shoreline areas.

To improve and protect state shorelines, the Washington Legislature passed the state Shoreline Management Act in 1971.

The act required all jurisdictions with shorelines to develop Shoreline Master Programs and to update those programs every six years.

The SMP is a comprehensive shoreline land-use plan that includes policies and regulations for the use and development of the shoreline.

It applies to all future development on land within twohundred feet of the ordinary high water mark.

The SMP goals are to protect shoreline processes, promote public access, and accommodate all appropriate shoreline uses, as well as balances public and private interests.

While the shoreline planning boundary of two-hun-

Chris Hoffman dred feet is well-defined, jurisdictions have the flexibility to develop policies and regulations that recognize diverse shoreline types and values, and that balance property rights and shoreline protection.

San Juan County is currently updating its SMP, and for the past six months has been preparing an inventory and analysis report to document the current conditions of the county’s shorelines.

The county is now beginning to consider what, if any, new regulations and policies need to be developed to achieve SMP goals and to

ensure the appropriate balance of property rights, public access, and shoreline protection is achieved.

To realize these goals and to find the right balance it is necessary for the community to develop a future vision for what most agree are the county’s most valuable asset — its over four-hundred miles of shorelines.

The goal of the shoreline visioning summits is to develop a clear and widely supported statement of what the future should be.

Visioning is an important step because any new regulation or policies that are developed need to be connected to the vision; the vision is what you want and the regulations and policies are how you achieve the vision.

The September summits will provide residents the opportunity to work with each other to determine the big picture — what’s important to maintain and change regarding shoreline uses, access, and protection.

Visuals, small group discussions, and interactive polling will all be used to help SEE SHORELINES, PAGE 6

Sept 12 - 18, 2011 Changes of Emphasis

We are moving into yet another Cardinal T-Square situation later this week. This time it will involve Venus moving into Libra, opposing Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. You know the drill by now. Loads of energy to deal with, and the best laid plans taking a direction of their own in an unpredictable manner due to the influence of Uranus.

As usual, those most affected will be the Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, especially those born within 3 days of the 20th of their respective birth months. Practicality becomes arduous as we continue to learn to take one day at a time and hold tight to each other.

Aries (March 21- April 19): The Full Moon in your sector of Endings opposes powerful Venus in your sector of Work/Health. This could indicate readdressing a health issue or possibly the need to take a pet in for medical attention. An odd opening to the week, but look for changes toward the weekend when Venus moves into your sector of Relationship; she will oppose chaotic Uranus who is in your sign so this week will be very active in terms of negotiating and decision making, and will continue into next week.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): The Full Moon in your sector of Friends/Goals opposes your Ruler Venus as she prepares to leave your sector of Creative Expression/Children. It is possible someone is trying to undermine a significant relationship or project; critical information will surface now so that you can deal with it and see it for what it is.

Later in the week, Venus will move into your sector of Work/Health and oppose chaotic Uranus in your sector of Endings. Another wild time is in the works, so stock up on wine and chocolate!

Gemini (May 21- June 20): You’re quite the whirligig this week! The Full Moon in your sector of Career/Highest Potential opposes powerful Venus in your sector of Home. You want to just huddle and be cozy but the spotlight is on you to produce some kind of results.

You like to produce results in your own time! Drink the caffeine and get your snacks ready because later this week Venus will move into your sector of Creative Expression and will oppose chaotic Uranus! Let’s put it this way‌if you’re lucky

enough to begin the week bored, enjoy it. It won’t last!

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Duck, drop and roll (or whatever it is)! The week opens with the Full Moon in your sector of Expansion/Spirituality opposing Venus in your sector of Communication/Thinking. If you’re having bizarre dreams, that’s why.

There is information contained within those dreams but don’t take them literally. As the week progresses, Venus will change signs and move into your sector of Home, and she will get into an argument with chaotic Uranus. We’re moving into another very active time, so get ready!

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): The Full Moon in your sector of Shared Assets opposes Venus in your sector of Finances. You might have an unexpected expense come up but it’s likely you’ll be able to compensate. As the week moves forward (taking you with it, kicking

and screaming), Venus will change signs and move into your sector of Communication, opposing rabblerousing Uranus in your sector of Expansion. You may start to feel trapped in some way and want to claw your way out. Wow, lots of energy flying around‌harness it and use it to your advantage!

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept.

21): The Full Moon in your sector of Relationships (“The Other�) reveals something about how you project yourself in the world because it opposes Venus (Empowerment, Self-Esteem). If you’re off the mark, this is the time to make the necessary corrections. Do that quickly, because Venus will move into your sector of Finances later this week, opposing chaotic Uranus.

If you work around other people who don’t live up to your standards and you’re not the boss, don’t be the victim. Be yourself.

Libra (Sept. 22 – Oct. 23): This week will take off like a rocket for you; the Full Moon in your sector of Work/Health opposes your Ruler Venus in your sector of Endings. Something will be revealed that needs to be taken care of, and it will be taken care of

expediently. Later this week, Venus moves into your own sign where she is very happy, but she will oppose chaotic Uranus, indicating the end of something that doesn’t work anymore and the beginning of innovative change/adaptation. If you’re gonna play, play to win!

advantage. Later this week Venus will move into your sector of Friends/ Goals and oppose chaotic Uranus in your sector of Creative Expression.

You’re about to be launched into something you weren’t expecting, and if it is worthy of your time and energy, go for it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24Nov. 22): This week will roll in a sideways manner due to the Full Moon in your sector of Creative Expression opposing Venus in your sector of Friends/Goals. You see the light at the end of the tunnel, but be sure what you think you’re seeing is what you’re really seeing because later this week Venus will move into your house of Endings and oppose electric Uranus who is in your sector of Work/Health. This effect will be in place for about 10 days, and you will have to make some big decisions. Keep the faith!

Capricorn (Dec. 21 – Jan. 20): The Full Moon in your sector of Communication/Thinking opposes esteem-controlling Venus in your sector of Expansion. This spurs you to explore some uncharted territory. Late this week when Venus moves into your sector of Career/ Highest Potential and opposes chaotic Uranus in your sector of Home, you are likely to finally get a home business launched although how you get there isn’t directly controlled by you. Roll with it!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 20): Your fun in the sun turns to a new and different adventure as the Full Moon in your sector of Home opposes Venus in your sector of Career/Highest Potential. Someone sees a part of you that you don’t show very often, and this is ultimately to your

Aquarius (Jan. 21 Feb. 20): The Full Moon in your sector of Finances opposes Venus in your sector of Shared Assets. Looks like some ways of shifting things around in a way that works better is in progress for you, and that’s a very good thing because later this week Venus will move into your sector of Expansion and oppose your own Ruler Uranus in your

sector of Thinking/Communicating.

Long distance correspondence and swinging deals from afar will have you busy for the next two weeks!

Pisces (Feb. 21 – March 20): The Full Moon in your sign reveals things you need to do to shore up self-care and the way you represent yourself due to her opposition to Venus in your sector of Relationships (what you draw to yourself). If something strikes your fancy and resonates as harmonious, go for it. Later this week, Venus will move into your sector of Shared Assets and oppose innovative Uranus in your sector of Finances. It’s a real crap shoot now, but stay real and see what is rather than what should be..

Because a picture is often worth a thousand words the county is asking residents to begin the visioning process by sending pictures of what they think the county’ shorelines should look like in the future.

Balance and harmony brings gentle healing

By Suzanne Getz Special to the Islands’ Weekly

My name is Suzanne Getz and I joined the Lopez Island community in December.

I have been a bodywork therapist for the past 26 years. I successfully completed and I am licensed in a 700 hour professional training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) from the Colorado School of Energy Studies.

BCST is a very gentle, noninvasive touch technique that is built on the foundation that our bodies know how to heal themselves; and with some focused assistance, the body can and will often reconnect to its health.

Island Pool and it’s time to share.

FLIP is seeking ways to reduce costs of pool construction while retaining two complementary indoor Myrtha pools.

Swimmers will have a choice of a smaller, warmer, easy access water therapy and learning pool in addition to the standard 25-yard, multi-use pool. We have interviewed a Mrytha pool construction company who can cut building costs in half by using pre-fabricated panel construction.

FLIP needs Building Project Committee members with construction project experience to help sift the pros and cons of this approach, and to find ways to place our Lopez contactors and subcontractors on the job.

We will soon launch a major capital campaign for construction, kicked off by a matching foundation grant, and need the expertise of one who has

when a particular bone moves off course it indicates that there is a restriction.

The motion of the fluid creates a pulse that the practitioner palpates to evaluate its movement throughout the body and detects any variences or restrictions in flow.

Stress or movement of the skull bones can often be the cause of referred pain or reduced flexibility anywhere along the dural pathway.

As this happens, the body takes on compensatory measures and this one seemingly small problem may ultimately become the cause of multiple problems throughout the body.

The practitioner gently holds the head, spine, feet or any joint of the body and listens to the inherent health and facilitates a reconnection to that health.

I’ve been saying a lot of “goodbyes� as I prepare to retire from my role as pastor of the Lutheran Church in the San Juans. This is my goodbye to those of you who have been reading Pastor these little articles.

John Many years ago while studying in Lindsay Cuernavaca, Mexico, I heard one of the best expressions of faith I’ve ever heard. A lay church community organizer, Adele Jimenez, said, “God cares! And God is at work in the world setting things right. God claims us as beloved children, and invites us to share in the work.�

So, “Adios, amigos� – go with God, my friends.

May your journey through life be shaped by knowing and feeling God’s love and call for you to be a partner with God in healing and shaping this world with compassion and justice.

You are invited to the following farewell events: Saturday, 10/1: 3-5PM Celebration & Dinner at St. David’s Church in Friday Harbor Sunday, 10/2 9:15AM Worship at St. David’s with Ministry Closing & Adios 11:00AM Worship at Lopez Island Center Church (Davis Bay Rd.) with Ministry Closing & Adios Lutheran Church 1:30PM Celebration & Meal at Grace Episcopal Hall in the San Juans Adios, Amigos

BCST is an extremely gentle technique suitable for adults, elderly, children and babies.

It has been effective in the treatment of conditions such as (TMJ), bite alignment, tinnitus and middle ear problems, headaches, brain and spinal cord injuries, sports injuries, scoliosis, autism, fibromyalgia, colic, post-surgical dysfunction, whiplash, premenstrual syndrome, birth trauma, asthma, sinusitis, allergies and more.

A membranous pathway exists within our bodies called the dural membrane system. Cerebrospinal fluid flows within this membranous system.

All the nerves in the body originate somewhere along this pathway. Restrictions along this pathway may impede the flow of the fluid, thereby causing pain at some point in the body.

Additionally, the bones in our bodies move constantly as the fluid is pumped and

“been there and back� with construction management.

We have received the inkind construction phase contributions of John Sorenson for land at the island center, Jeremiah Johnson for future excavation, Tom Pal for future painting, Ted Richey for water consultation, and Bob Parrish for surveying.

With contributions from the community, foundations and visitors paying all fees as we go, FLIP is already more than midway through the final phase of project planning.

In nation news, the biannual USA Swimming Association “Build a Pool Conference� will be held in Seattle Oct. 14-16, 2011 together with the World Aquatic Conference.

FLIP volunteers will gather information and obtain a professional review of our pool strategy.

This is your chance to join FLIP in this final planning stage. FLIP will pay conference registration fees.

Contact Robin Bergstrom at 468-2253 by September 15, if you can join us there and bring our mantra to many ears: Lopez Will Swim!

You can also join us every Sunday afternoon at the MacKaye Harbor Boat Launch, where brave and enthusiastic wetsuit swimmers gather to support Lopez Pool fundraising.

Five new swimmers and sponsors this summer include Rita O’Boyle, Gene Helfman, Allan Dougherty, Jean Peterson and Michael Peterson, and also two young granddaughters of old-hand Swimmers of the Salish Sea.
