The Louvre was highly
praised by several of the French club students. When they first arrived at the museum, Richard Tetu, the French teacher and advisor, told his students that they had only three hours to explore. Most of the students were taken aback by the large quantity of time given them to see one museum. It wasn’t until they entered the building
that they realized how three hours would never suffice to fully take in all of the masterpieces. “The Louvre was amazing and we barely saw a fraction of it,” says Brianne Swanson, a French student. About mid-way into the French adventure, Lopez students were placed in the care See students, page 6

but a much bigger “taking” is being planned right now in secret by county officials and industry technocrats. It’s the new telecommunications/ wireless ordinance. The stated goal of which is to wipe out all the protection from RF radiation, uglyfication, and property devaluation that SJC residents fought so hard for in the 1990’s and to make SJC a free-fire zone for the wireless industry. This 70-plus page ordinance changes every part of the SJC Development Code. It allows massive 150-foot tall towers with emergency communication and broadband antennas, plus as many as three sets of cellular antennas, plus equipment sheds with 24-7 buzzing invertors,

Visit the Lopez Airport to see what ugly monsters we are talking about here. This one is only about 60 feet tall and has only one set of cellular antennas on it. Imagine it over twice as tall and with four times more antennas! These things will cause massive property devaluation in whole sections of the county. People don’t buy land and houses here to enjoy the sight and sound of industrial facilities – or to get cancer.

EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM... Spring Savings! 2 Car Deluxe Garage/Shop
By Eleanor Burke
Mali Fischer-Levine, affectionately known as “Moleskin” by her friends, is an illustrator whose work is whimsical and nostalgic. FischerLevine grew up on Lopez Island, and has returned after three years of study at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, British Columbia. I caught up with Fischer-Levine one early spring day in the converted bus she’s currently living in, which is filled with her dreamy drawings, her vintage dresses and small, framed collages. Jolie Holland tunes play in the background, and as I sip licorice tea, Fischer-Levine dumps out a collection of the smallest books imaginable. “For a while I was into making only really tiny things,” she says in her sweet and unassuming voice. Each book is just over an inch long, bound in a colorful, probably vintage paper, and the insides are elegant in their simplicity – one tiny book has geometric shapes of varying shades of blue, a different one on each page. FischerLevine loves anything old or a little faded, and her love of vintage shines through in almost all her work. There is a forlorn quality to a drawing of a young woman, whose black hair fans out around her as if suspended in water, reminiscent of a fairy tale mermaid of days ago. While Fischer-Levine is working towards getting her Bachelor of Fine Arts in illustration, she has recently found a new love in collage. This is not the collage of shiny images ripped from fashion magazines and then piled high on a piece of construc-
tion paper. Once again, her style is reserved, spare in a sense, comes.” This past winter brought Fischer-Levine a new artistic and the magazines she sources are at least thirty years old. One collage depicts a girl in a sailor suit, a few deftly placed collaboration- working with Milla Prince and Callie Blue of red lines against the back ground - the colors are rich, but less KnowledgeShare, a skill share organization aimed with dissaturated, lending an air of nostalgia. She mentions Hannah seminating local wisdom, she designs and illustrates all of the Hoch, a German “Dada” artist known for her graphic collages, posters for the classes. It was her first time making posters for as inspiration. See ART, page 5 As a young artist, FischerLevine acknowledges that her style is ever evolving.

Also unique is her penchant for watching classic television shows from the 1990s like The X-Files and Northern Exposure, while she draws. Like all creative folk, blocks do occur. Fischer-Levine is getting better and better at, “Doing a little, walking away, and coming back.” Without the pressure of a school project to keep her focused, she is learning to find her own rhythm. There is one place she goes if she’s feeling stuck, “It’s a book of wildflowers, photographs from the 70’s; if I don’t know what to draw, I flip through it and something

HOW A FAMILY-OWNED FERRY SERVICE IS
GOING THE DISTANCE FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS — AND THE SEATTLE ECONOMY.
For more than 25 years, the iconic red-and-blue Clipper fleet has been ferrying commuters and vacationers alike between Seattle, Victoria, B.C. and the spectacular San Juan Islands. To keep the fleet as modern and comfortable as possible for passengers, Clipper Vacations began working with Bank of America in 2007. We initially helped by restructuring loans that enabled engine upgrades, allowing the fleet to reach speeds of up to 30 knots. More recently, we provided financing to modernize the fleet’s interior cabins. It’s a relationship that’s not only helping to get Seattle residents where they need to go — it’s also helping to generate local economic growth: the family-owned fleet employs 150 people. Clipper is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.

of a French host family for five days. “Besides the food, which was freaking amazing. The home stay was my favorite part of the trip,” says Patience Taylor, another French student. “It was really cool to be able to create friendships with people from a different country, even with the language barrier.” When the students returned to Lopez they had nothing but joyful and positive words to say about the trip. “Their open minds and hearts were always in evidence through their enthusiasm for new sites, new foods, and new experiences,” Tetu says.
Japan
Due to the generous funding from the Freeman Foundation, junior and seniors from Lopez Island High School have had the chance to go to Japan every year since 2001. The Japan travelers also get to visit many noteworthy sites each year. Hiroshima and its Peace Park and Atom Bomb Museum is just one of the many stops on their trip, which included an itinerary of temples, museums, historical places and shrines. This year five students from Lopez Island and five students from Orcas were able to experience this foreign culture together. Annie Calonico, one of the Japan advisors, said that it was an amazing experience to explore a new culture. Calonico also said “I loved getting to know both the Lopez and Orcas students on the trip.” Of the students that were interviewed there was a common consensus that their experience was enlightening and full of fun. “Their culture is so different from America’s. It is one thing to read about a culture and study their customs and beliefs and it is another to live in that culture’s environment,” says Nia Bartolucci, a junior from Lopez Island High School and Japan traveler. These students also had the privilege of staying in a local’s home. “Although there were some communication difficulties, it still ended up being a wonderful experience,” Bartolucci says. “It was fun to figure out all the different ways to communicate without using words.”
