School’s garden grows By Ande Finley Special to the Islands’ Weekly
Imagine a school kitchen overflowing with 300 pounds of organic tomatoes and green beans, 60 pounds of tomatillos and 30 pounds of carrots and beets. Out of 12,000 square feet, including three hoop houses, and an orchard, bounty from the Lopez Island Farm Education garden has been pouring in since Aug. 1. All this fresh produce has transformed food culture in the cafeteria. To the delight of many, Bill Evans is back as Superintendent of the Lopez School District and as enthusiastic as ever about the Farm to School concept. “Institutionally, the place we have come to is beyond what anyone foresaw,� he

said. The garden coordinator position has gone from donation-funded to a line item in the district budget. And processed food is scarce with all this fresh abundance. Lunch on the first day of school this year was homemade garden vegetable tomato sauce over whole wheat pasta with fresh green beans. Bowls of cherry tomatoes and carrot sticks grown by the children greet the elementary classes as they enter the cafeteria. Under Evans’ leadership, the garden program began in 2001 as a high school elective at S & S Homestead, the farm run by Henning Sehmsdorf and Elizabeth Simpson, also a teacher at the school. Henning and Elizabeth started bringing greens from the students’ gardens to the caf-
eteria salad bar. In 2006, a comprehensive school wellness policy was adopted by the school district mandating promotion of student and family health. With the help of Lopez Community Land Trust, the district also applied for a substantial USDA grant. This grant, though unsuccessful, laid a solid foundation for the fledgling L.I.F.E. Garden and Farm Program. With support from the Heller family in summer 2007, the district brought Antonia Demas from the Food Studies Institute to do a regional workshop for teachers and cafeteria staff on taking ownership for children’s health through food-based solutions. Educating kitchen staff was key to getting healthy food to students and chefs,

‘Flying’ pastor finally lands By Rita Larom Special to the Islands’ Weekly
Frequent flyer miles have not been awarded to “flying� Pastor John Lindsay during his eleven years of service to The Lutheran Church in the San Juans, but he has certainly compiled them. The pastor has anxiously peered through the fog, rocked with the wind, and watched rain bounce off the wings as Jackie Hamilton’s Island Air carried him to congregational branches on San Juan, Orcas and Lopez Islands during 1,300 flights. After traveling in the air or on the water to fulfill pastoral responsibilities, Lindsay is now retiring. A reception in Pastor Lindsay’s honor will be held on October 2, 1:30 – 3:30 p.m., at
Grace Episcopal Hall, for all who wish to join the celebration. In addition to Lindsay’s full schedule of travel, delivering sermons and attending ecumenical and island events, he has acted as his own secretary. His book and film studies, open to the community, have wrestled with complex questions. Lindsay has relied on several pinch-hitters in the pulpit as he has tried to cover his clerical bases subject to the whims of weather and the ferry system. One memorable Christmas Eve, Morry Dalton, a retired Lopez pastor, received a late night call. Aboard a grounded ferry SEE FLYING, PAGE 5

spawning sites in San Juan County. Sand lance, which lay their eggs on sandy upper beaches, are a key food item for various fish, seabirds, and marine mammals. “The Friends of the San Juans’ habitat restoration project was a win win for everyone,� said San Olson, a Friends of San Juans’ board member and neighborhood resident. “While the primary objective was to enhance critical spawning habitat and support marine food webs, we were also able to use the rocks removed from the beach to fill gaps and improve protection along the road.� San Juan County Public Works, Barlow Bay shoreline property owners and the Salmon Point Community provided support for the restoration project, and the Washington State Salmon Recovery Board provided funding.

Spotlight on Seniors by Rita Larom
Margie Wissert Roe, Lopez Island “I joined the Marine Corps,� said Lopez Islander, Margie Wissert Roe. “But it was at the end of World War II. I had to be 20 to join and that was in 1945.� Roe remembers being at a church youth meeting when it was announced that Pearl Harbor was bombed. “We were horrified. We had tried to stay out of the war, but I guess they would have got us if we had,� she said as her voice softened. Roe grew up in New Jersey. Her parents divorced when she was three. She lived with her grandparents until she started high school. “My mother liked the WAVE uniforms and couldn’t understand my choice of service,� Roe said. “I saw a lot of war movies and wanted to be included with the heroic Marines. I was in boot camp when Germany surrendered.� Roe’s command of high school shorthand gained her a position as a court reporter for Court Marshals. “They didn’t have machines
for court reporters then,� she said with her frequent hearty laugh. On days when they weren’t too busy, she admits to making a peanut butter and bacon sandwich and slipping away for a swim at lunch time. “That felt very good in South Carolina,� she said. Discharged after 13 months, she received a request to continue as secretary for the base’s Commanding General. “So that’s what I did,� Roe said. She had a secret service clearance and held the secretarial position on different bases for the next eight years. A mutual friend introduced Roe to her future husband, Pat. “He was teaching intelligence in officer’s training school,� she said. “We were married in 1954 and had three children. He retired at 37 as a Major after 20 years of service.� “My husband had fond memories of youthful visits to his uncle’s place on Orcas so we looked for retirement property there. We stopped at Lopez on our return, looked at some land that was listed but didn’t buy, and had lunch at The Islander,� Roe said. “My husband came here alone in 1965 when he retired,� Roe continued. “He found 35 acres with a house that I didn’t see until we

Margie Wissert Roe now, shown left, and then, shown right. moved that same year.� As Roe followed a truck with their furniture on a dusty road into their new home, she got her first clue that life on Lopez would be very different from living with the Marine’s white glove inspections. “There were only 500 full time residents when we arrived and hardly anyone was under 40,� Roe said. “We lived on the farm until 1990 and raised sheep and horses.� There was no kindergarten on the island so she and Joyce Fralic with children the same age started a daycare center at the Community Church. “It was the beginnings of the Children’s Center that we
have today,� Roe said. “My husband was selling real estate when our youngest child started school in 1966,� Roe said. “Three people left the office where he worked and he asked if I would be interested in selling. I said I would try it.� Eventually we owned the office,� Roe said, “first as a branch of Washington House and then we became Island House Realtors and owned the building that now houses
Isabel’s Espresso. After 25 years, we sold the business to David Schwartz. He had it for 15 years and sold it in 1990 to a buyer who kept the sales staff. That’s how I got to Windermere. I still work there part time.� When Roe began volunteering for the library, it was in the basement of Jean Bouchey’s house and had an assortment of books collected since World War II. “I was involved in get-
ting permission from the Fire Department to use an empty bay in the Fire Hall for a library� Roe explained. “We did lots of fund raisers and asked those who could afford it for lump sum donations. It took money to operate. Experience helped us become better organized. Sandra Schugren walked in one day and told me she was a ‘Real Librarian’ and wanted to help — we were all so pleased. We operated in this manner for several years until the Fire Department wanted to put up a new building.� Community members decided library funding should be on the tax roll. “That was another hurdle,� Roe said. “The legislature had to pass a law to make it legal.� The Fire Department gave the old building to the library. There was land available across the street so the building — and the library — were moved to the present location. “I was on the Thrift Shop board for six years and scheduled volunteers,� Roe said. “I’m not running around volunteering any more. I figure it’s someone else’s turn. It’s good for people to get out and volunteer —and it’s a wonderful way to get acquainted.�

Q&A Port Commissioner candidates position 1 and 2 This is part one of a series of Q&A specials with the candidates Ed Kilduff: WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR PORT COMMISSIONER #1? (1) As a member of SWAC and TBTD, I have been working continuously for over two years to find some solution to Lopez’s solid waste conundrum. Now that the port is involved, I feel Lopezians should have the opportunity to hold me accountable for the success or failure of the port’s involvement, which in large measure I helped to bring about. (2) I want a port that works for the whole community, and for me, that means a port that makes efforts to engage all Lopezians in fulfilling its full mission, is accountable, and is transparent. WHAT ARE THREE TOP ISSUES FACING THE PORT? There are obvious issues, but I think the most significant issue facing the port is not obvious. From my perspective, the most important issue is that the Port’s relationship with Lopezians is changing. The port does not exist in a vacuum — not anymore — and we have seen with the solid waste issue and with the seaplane base, that when some other public entity, such as the County or State, fails in its mission to provide basic services to the people, Lopezians now expect the port to step in. In many ways, the port is becoming an alternative form of government for Lopez because our public officials elsewhere are failing us. Therefore, change management is the biggest issue (Issue #1) for the port. The “headliner� issues facing the port are, I believe, a consequence of #1. My other two issues would be (2) the prospect of the port taking over Lopez solid waste operations, and (3) ensuring a publicly engaged, financially sound, and well-governed port. I believe we can do #2 without harming #3, but of course, it will take resources, and the way forward may be bumpy. By listening to the public and taking well-considered risks, I believe we can have a bright future.
Bruce Dunlop: WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR PORT COMMISSIONER #1? My original reason for becoming a Port Commissioner four years ago was to help provide a wellrun airport for Lopez. After many years of first hand experience using airports around the county it was my turn to contribute to our community. During the past four years I have been working on two significant projects as a Port Commissioner and am now running for re-election so I can see them to completion. WHAT ARE THREE TOP ISSUES FACING THE PORT? The port’s primary mission is to operate our airport facilities to provide safe and reliable air transportation for Lopez residents, visitors and businesses. We are in the final stages of an FAA funded major repair project at the Lopez Airport. I fully support maintaining our airport to the highest standard possible and this project furthers that goal. Operation of our airport is not an issue for the port but an ongoing responsibility. Past and current commissioners have done an excellent job of improving our airport and building the port’s capacity as an organization and reputation with the FAA. I am well qualified to continue this great progress we have made. The current significant issue facing the port today concerns how the port can best serve Lopez residents regarding operation of the Lopez Solid Waste Facility. I have been actively working with both Lopez residents and the county staff to create an agreement, whereby the port would assume operation of the facility. There has been a tremendous amount of assistance to the port from members of our community in helping clarify what is a very complicated issue. I believe we are close to reaching an agreement that will allow the port to provide the level of service desired by our community in a manner we can be proud of.
Stephen K. Adams: WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR PORT COMMISSIONER #2? I am running for Port Commissioner because I feel strongly about maintaining the long standing success of the Lopez Airport and I am excited about working to implement the local solid waste plan. As a teacher,

volunteer EMT/Fire Fighter and Chief Fire Officer, Fire Commissioner, Planning Commissioner and successful island business owner for 30 years on Lopez, I have gained valuable leadership skills that will be important in solving the critical issues facing the Port of Lopez. WHAT ARE THREE TOP ISSUES FACING THE PORT? The immediate issue facing the port is the successful implementation of a locally controlled solid waste program. We need to find sound funding solutions, support a robust recycling program, and establish a professional management system to run this program. Creating a successful locally controlled solid waste program will require a Port Commissioner with strong community experience and effective leadership skills. The Lopez Airport is a vital economic engine for our community. At least 90 percent of all Lopez Airport traffic is from off-island and greatly enhances local commerce, bringing visitors and goods that help Lopez businesses. The airport also serves as a critical landing area for medflight, as well as providing vital medical transport for our residents from volunteer local pilots. Maintaining a safe and quality airport will become increasingly difficult as FAA funding dries up. Making the airport operating budget self-sufficient through the use of its commercial properties to a fuller extent will be necessary. Marine access has been a long stated goal of the Port. Expansion of the port into marine areas must be based on clear community need and solid financial planning. In solving these critical issues I will bring experience, leadership and sound reasoning to the Port Commission.
Suzanne Berry: WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR PORT COMMISSIONER #2? When I saw the strong interest of the Lopez community in taking local control of our solid waste facility through the Port of Lopez, I decided to run for this position. Since working at the Lopez transfer station for over seven years, I’ve maintained a strong interest in our facility, attended many meetings aimed at addressing the situation, and was appointed to the county wide Solid Waste Advisory Committee. I want to offer my knowledge and experience during this time of transition to a Lopez run facility. WHAT ARE THREE TOP ISSUES FACING THE PORT? Seaplane base in Fisherman Bay, solid waste facility and lower hangar leases. The port needs to decide about transferring ownership of the seaplane base in Fisherman Bay from Kenmore Air to the Port of Lopez. I believe it’s important to get this seaplane base on the nautical charts so boaters are aware of it. We also need to work with the Friends of the San Juans to identify mooring buoys in the flight path and find an alternate location for them. After researching liability and SEE CANDIDATES, PAGE 8

When it comes to throwing a shindig, the farmers of San Juan County know how to pull out all the stops: an upcoming festival thrown by the county’s Agricultural Resources Committee will run the entire month of October. Talk about a fete. “Join us in celebrating the bounty and beauty of our local farms!� says ARC coordinator Peggy Bill. In case you’re wondering, local farmers’ ideas of entertainment include “bowling� for squash pins with cabbages; sheep dog demonstrations; a Fall Farm Parade; farm to table feasts using local products; farm tours; a class on selecting fleece, carding, spinning and dyeing; cheese making; a hard cider orchard tour and tasting; a shellfish farm tour and lunch; a pig roast and potluck; cooking classes by acclaimed chefs and other agrarian escapades. Farm and food events have been scheduled throughout the month on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan Islands. The festival will be island-hopping as it gathers steam, focusing on a different island each weekend. Most Lopez events will take place from Sept. 29-Oct. 2; most Orcas events Oct. 7-10; and San Juan Island events from Oct. 14-16. There will also be many other events on other days in October. A full calendar of events by island will be available soon at www.sjcarcorg, and will continue to be updated as events are added. “Support of our local farms through agritourism is a priority for the Agricultural
Resources Committee, and we will continue to build this annual tradition, helping to educate locals and visitors about our unique island farms,� said Bill. “We also hope to expand the events to include farm-related art shows and studio tours, biking tours to farms, more classes, etc. There are endless possibilities. Bring your family and friends to support and learn about our local farms.� For more information, contact info@ sjcarc.org. The festival will be sponsored by Blossom Grocery, Valley Farm Center, Lopez Village Market, Jones Family Farm, Allium Restaurant, Orcas Trail Riders and Wild Bird Bamboo. Islands Fall Farm Festival is part of “Savor the San Juans: A Medley of Food, Art & Culture,� sponsored by the San Juan Islands Visitors Bureau. Information about other events, lodging and restaurant specials during the month of October can be found online at www.visitsanjuans.com/savor/.

Reverend Dr. Colin Goode blessing a golden retriever. permitting, the blessing for larger animals such as horses, sheep or other livestock will be held outside. All the blessing will be conducted by the Reverend Dr. Colin Goode, Vicar of Grace Church. “One of the cool aspects of this is that people are kinder to each other when animals are involved,� said Phyllis Potter. “You see the more human side of people when they’re relating to their pets. You could see a typically stern person talking baby talk to his dog.� The Blessing of the Animals is a tradition for many churches and communities and has occurred on Lopez over the years. Lopez Veterinarian Dr. Jerry Scherzinger, of the Ark
Veterinary Clinic, and his wife Claudia Bradley helped to revive this service on Lopez several years ago. “The human-pet bond has been around since our ancestors shared their cave hearths with their canine companions,� Scherzinger has written in the church bulletin for prior blessing ceremonies. “Our animal companions fit into our lives with ease, filing an important gap. They are non-judgmental, always have time, and listen well. Their effect on improved human health is well documented, and their companionship for the elderly and homebound relieves loneliness and is given unconditionally.� Potter, of Islehaven Books, has also been a strong sup-

Another year, the dog howled along with the hymn, “All things bright and beautiful.� “So many of us have such a strong connection to our animals and having a place where faith, religion and

legal issues involved, a public meeting should be held to ask the people of Lopez if they want this transfer of ownership. The issue of transferring operation of the Lopez Solid Waste Facility from county government to the Port of Lopez is critical. I am 100 percent behind this and am ready to work on the transition. This will need to be a community effort and I look forward to working with other Lopezians to make it happen. Extension of the lower hangar leases is being discussed. I don’t see any reason not to renew the lower hangar leases. I would follow the Port attorney’s advice and establish a lease renewal policy for the lower hangars that would allow for renewal at regular intervals.
