“A Port that Works for the Whole Communityâ€? I want a Port that serves a broad base of Lopezians, works to fulfill its entire mission, listens to people, and learns from them. We can achieve broader Port goals while running the airport safely and being financially responsible. It’s not about “finishingâ€? a job, it’s about beginning one ‌ beginning a new path forward.

he joined the team of volunteers calling themselves the Gleaning Group. Waugh said, there are orchards on Lopez no longer maintained, overgrown with grass and forgotten, but still producing fruit — just waiting to be picked. The Society of St. Andrews, an organization operating mainly in southern states, maintains that gleaning originated in a passage in Deuteronomy: “When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be left for the alien, the orphan, and the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all your undertakings.� But there are lots of gleaning operations going on with no religious affiliations — just the desire to make use of what is being wasted. Food waste is responsible for 135 million tons of greenhouse gases every year, or about 1.5 percent of all emissions, says CleanMetrics, which builds software that does life cycle analysis for companies and organizations who want to measure and reduce their environmental impact. For the Gleaners, collecting fruit that falls off the tree is just one way to offset food waste, and is an alternative way of thinking about the way humans consume or waste food. Doug Benoliel, co-organizer of the Gleaning Group on Lopez, said this practice is SEE GLEANING, PAGE 8

Small Business help The Lopez Island Family Resource Center is offering an array of new classes this fall aimed at helping islanders gain self-sufficiency through education and training. For the first time, class offerings have been compiled into a brochure which was mailed out to Lopez mailing addresses or P.O. Box. The center began offering small business classes in 2007 and continues to grow. Offerings include Excel, Desktop Publishing, WordPress, Online Marketing and more. The popular Small Business Class returns, but in a new format. Previously offered once a week, it will now be offered as a weekend planning retreat. Instructor James Dunn from Seattle’s Washington CASH will lead this lively interactive workshop. He has taught other business related classes here on Lopez and is known for his enthusiasm and business knowledge. He takes great pleasure working with entrepreneurs to help them build the lives they want to lead by following their passions and making money in the process. Other offerings include opportunities for one-on-one business consultations, individual computer training, and a small business tax seminar offered by local CPA, Brian Leyde. Most classes take place at the Lopez Island Library. Classes requiring computers will have access to the new mobile computer lab recently acquired by a grant through Broadband USA, Communities Connect Network. Classes have limited enrollments. To register or questions, call Patsy Haber at LIFRC 468-4117 or lifrc@rockisland.com. Full brochures online at www.lifrc.org.

Don Langrock, Lopez Island “Crossing the Atlantic on a square rigger when you’re 17 is quite an experience,� Lopez Islander, Don Langrock, said. The 295 foot sailing ship was owned by the Coast Guard Academy and used in the summertime for practical experience. With a school teacher father who kept his family in New York during the school year and moved them to Vermont during the summers while he managed a hotel, Langrock’s young life was spent near the water. Being accepted into the Coast Guard Academy was a natural progression. After his four-year course, Langrock went to sea with search and rescue during the Cuban Missile Crisis. “Many people were escaping Cuba and there was a heavy embargo where we patrolled,� he said. Langrock then served on a ship doing weather station patrols in the North Atlantic. “We also served as a point for positioning aircraft,� he said. “Navigation systems on planes improved so much during that time that by the end of the program, they could probably tell us where we were.� Langrock earned a

Don Langrock, then and now. Masters Degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and another in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He spent the rest of his Coast Guard career building or operating ships. “In San Francisco during Vietnam, we approved designs for modifying merchant vessels to carry military cargo,� Langrock said. “It was not a good place to be then. We wore street clothes to work and changed into uniforms at the office.� After an assignment in Cleveland, Langrock moved to Seattle to take the chief technical position during construction of a polar ice breaker. He sailed with it as Chief Engineer to the Arctic and Antarctic during its first three years of service. In the late 1970s, Langrock
1,000 feet with structures built on the sea bottom. “I was in charge of a group to design floating devices for off-shore oil production,� Langrock said. “From Dallas, I traveled around the Gulf of Mexico. Our Research and Development Engineering Department consulted worldwide so I needed to be prepared to travel with very little notice to Norway, Africa, or anywhere there was a problem. The first seven years I worked for Mobil, I racked up a million miles on American Airlines.� Langrock bought Lopez
property in the mid-80s. “While living in Dallas, I would come to Lopez and suffer from ‘tree shock.’ I built a vacation home here in the early 90s,� Langrock said. His first marriage ended in 1993. “After nine years in Dallas I was transferred to Scotland where I was in charge of all ocean drilling projects over 1,500 feet deep. We developed robotics for subsea drilling and laid the groundwork for what is being used in the Gulf today. My last assignment in Scotland was as Engineering and Construction Manager on a subsea installation using our equipment designs. In North Sea conditions at that time, you could only drill to a reservoir underneath the platform and use limited angles to nearby places. With subsea projects, a well could be drilled and equipment located on the sea floor with pipelines extending to outlying pockets and traveling back to the platform for processing. This allowed for further development. They’re still producing
in the North Sea today.� When Langrock transferred to Scotland he was assigned to Foreign Relations Advisor, Marlene Cheyne Holt, his future wife. “ When I learned she was a widow, I asked her out,� he said. “On Marlene’s first visit to the island, she called it ‘magic.’ I agreed. When something needs to be accomplished, people just do it.� Langrock retired in 1996 . The couple moved to Lopez and Langrock started his own consulting company for naval architecture and marine engineering. He has worked with ferry systems and shipping
companies. “Volunteer work keeps me busy,� Langrock said. “I’ve served on the Catherine Washburn Memorial Association Board, am active in Lions, church, and work with Hospice and Home Support.� His three sons and eight grandchildren all live in the northwest. “I’ve had the best of two careers and learned discipline and good study habits in the Coast Guard and at MIT,� Langrock said. “If you are prepared and happen to be in the right spot at the right time, opportunities occur.�

Vote ‘yes’ for Prop. 1
I have lived on Lopez Island for 23 years. Over that period of time, I have witnessed some beautiful pieces of land fall into the hands of developers destroying the natural beauty we are blessed with. I have also, however, seen some areas of striking natural beauty and natural history be purchased, preserved and set aside for all of us to enjoy today and for future generations by the Land Bank.
Several times each week I find myself walking in the deep forest or along a quiet beach on land that belongs to all of us because of the long term efforts of stewardship of our land by the Land Bank. Not only do those of us who live here get to enjoy these preserved lands but the future economy of our islands depends in part on saving our natural beauty. I plan to vote yes on Proposition 1 to renew the Land Bank. Those who have questions can find answers at
groups, governmental and non-profit, to help accomplish projects the individual entities would be strained to do on their own. The Land Bank has much more work to do. Please join us in supporting renewal of our successful Land Bank.

our age - depends on all of us. More lands will be developed and taken out of forest and agriculture use in the future. We need the Land Bank to continue to secure conservation easements and purchase properties so that special places, like Watmough, Fisherman Bay Spit and Hummel Lake, can be protected and accessible. If we renew the Land Bank, the growth that will inevitably occur will help fund the protection of areas our community deems important. The Land Bank is very good at leveraging its resources and partnering with other

Preserve islands for the future As a multi-generational Lopez family, we recognize the need to preserve natural places in the islands. Having access to these pristine lands
is a great part of living here. Regularly visiting Land Bank sites together is a tradition our family has enjoyed since moving to Lopez in 1994. We who live in the islands are fortunate to have an abundance of these cherished natural spaces. To risk their future by not renewing our Land Bank could be disastrous, especially given our local economy’s reliance on tourism. Please vote yes on SJ County Proposition 1 on November 8th and help preserve our beautiful islands for future generations.

A new calling: Faith in action By Kim Bryan Special to the Islands’ Weekly
Karen felt nauseated as she watched her husband, the head deacon, smiling and visiting with fellow members at their local church. Her eyes drifted to his strong hands as they so gently helped an elderly woman through the door. Why had those capable strong hands turned so hard and cruel to her? Karen cringed as her husband sat down in the pew next to her and slid his arm around her. His touch made her skin crawl as she remembered the all too common painful scenes of last night. It was a good thing the weather was turning cooler so no one questioned the long sleeves and high neck that she chose to cover the already emerging bruises. She hated the charade of coming to church and acting like everything was “just fine�. She wanted to cry out with the emotions that were smothering her inside but she knew that no one even suspected. And what would they think of her and her “perfect little family�? Wasn’t there someone who cared even a little bit? Could there be a way to get help and not have everyone find out? Would they just tell her that she needed to be a better wife, pray more and “submit� to her husband? Didn’t the bible say that her husband was the head of the family? But was this what God really had in mind? Statistics tell us that Karen’s story of abuse within the faith community is equal to the “Karens� who choose not to take part in an organized religion. However, for the women and children suffering in abuse within a faith community, what should be a safe nurturing environment often times is one of oppression due to misinformation and lack of resources. So what can the faith community do to become the safe haven its’ members need? First and foremost estab-

Gleaners will be filling boxes with fruit before it’s too late. “There is so much potential in simple networking, people might know of orchards still producing fruit, but uncared for,� Waugh said. “Taking advantage of that is great.� Benoliel said they are looking for homeowners with fruit trees that need picking and

September and November. But Benoliel is not too worried, he is looking at not only this year’s fruit, but long term goals. “The key would be to have individuals who have trees to let gleaners come in year after year, and keep track of how much fruit and what type is available,� he said. Waugh would like to see the Gleaners eventually make cider with gleaned fruit, which could in turn help his chili sauce business. He said if people start making apple cider and some of it goes bad, that means it has essentially turned into vinegar, which he could use to make his sauce. He is also looking into the future; he’d like to see the Gleaners, homeowners and members of the community network to improve the growth of fruit trees on the islands, through pruning or other tree care techniques. This week, Waugh has a list of people he will be contacting for possible gleaning opportunities and hopeful the

instances where a neighbor offers to pick apples on a nearby tree, but this is the first time he’s put together a formal group. Unfortunately, this year’s cold spring produced a limited amount of trees with fruit. “On good years, like last year there were probably enough fruit to fill dozens of boxes, plums, peaches, plums, pears, asian pears,� Benoliel said. “So a lot of fruit goes unused.� This fall, the group has visited only one property with trees, where they picked two boxes of fruit. They plan to donate 50 percent of gleaned fruit to any organizations in need including Lopez Fresh, a local food bank, senior lunch program and Locavores. The Gleaners also want to offer homeowners a portion of the gleaned fruit if the person is unable to, or uninterested in picking fruit themselves. The clock is now ticking for Gleaners, as the best time to pick fruit off trees is between

For more info, or a chance to get involved, call 468-3876 or email lopeztamandoug@ hotmail.com. bring this knowledge and experience to his work as a Port Commissioner. He understands the economic benefits the airport provides to our community and also the essential medical services it provides to Lopez Island. Steve has articulated a sound process for the Port to explore its mission of providing access to waterways. His approach would include seeking community support; developing a realistic and sustainable financial plan based on this community input; using local professionals to research potential marine access points and develop a plan; and finally, after an open and public process, implement the plan. Steve’s approach to this issue is a perfect example of how he will approach all issues facing the Port of Lopez. He will be fair, balanced and practical. We can count on that every time. Steve’s talents, skills, experience and long time commitment to our community make him a great candidate for the Port of Lopez. Please vote for Steve Adams for Port Commission position #2.
