Lopez Home Tour

Visit 8 distinctive homes while benefiting the Lopez Center for Community & the Arts

When Nancy Wynen arrived on Lopez this January the island was covered with white, which was quite a change from her previous home in sunny Florida.

But Nancy and her husband Fons have had no trouble embracing their new life.

“I keep telling people on Facebook that I live in a postcard,” said Nancy, who is the new vicar at Grace Episcopal Church.

The couple moved to Lopez on a Saturday and Nancy gave her first sermon the next day, which she said felt great.

Her sermons reflect her colorful life that includes a background as a librarian and travels around the world.

“I really appreciate the

Nancy Wynen diversity that the world offers, including the people and geography,” Nancy said.

“Spiritually – the diversity of people and their worship styles and beliefs are definitely kept in my awareness everyday.”

Nancy grew up in the New Jersey suburbs of New York City. Her summers were

www.lopezcenter.com

spent in camp and on family vacations, and school days were filled with Girl Scouts, “and lessons, lots and lots of lessons. Probably two years each of ballet, piano, and French – all ending in a little knowledge but no real skills,” Nancy said.

It was during summer camp that Nancy wrote a spiritual editorial for the camp newspaper on how people are like pieces in a quilt, all unique and different in personality and talent, but together make a beautiful object or community. She said this is still the cornerstone of her ministry: to have everyone in the community find a way to use their talents for the church and community.

Nancy graduated from the University of Massachusetts and worked as a library

clerk in New York. She met Fons Wynen, a Dutchman who was a business intern at her grandfather’s travel agency, also in New York.

The first two years of their marriage were spent in The Netherlands, where she got to know Fons’ family and learned to speak Dutch.

Eventually they moved back to the New York City area.

Fons worked in the travel business, and Nancy became a librarian. For the next 15 years, she was an administrator in two public libraries.

“I loved how I had a skill that would help other people,” she said.

One fateful day, she helped a woman who needed to find baby girl names.

The woman was in a rush to find a name because she was on her way to Colombia See vicar, page 8

We owe our friend Greg Ewert our deepest gratitude for consistently and unflinchingly showing us what good teaching, good schools and education in general should be. Our sincere sympathies and condolences go out to Greg’s family, as well as our appreciation and humble thanks for sharing Greg with us all these years.

Right up to the end, Greg was a stalwart advocate of public education and the education of the whole child. Greg modeled what that looked like in his long teaching career on Lopez.

He showed us that an education of the soul, of the spirit, and most importantly, of the imagination, was the most critical element of a good school. Greg’s love of nature, the arts, and the creative, emotional, and environmental intelligences came through loudly and clearly in his teaching. His dedication to the powerful impact of hands-on learning was epitomized in his many outdoor, experiential learning opportunities he provided to his students, the school, and the community.

dance: Lopez Street Dance, coastal beach in the rain, playing table-tennis with middle-school youth, organizing week-long experiential alternative learning weeks at school, or leading students in service in Nicaragua, Greg’s impact upon the education of our Lopez youth was immeasurable. Greg educated for life, not just the state assessment du-jour. As a result, Greg helped Lopez School continue its mission of nurturing life-long learners with a passion and the tools for changing the world.

Greg’s legacy will live on in the community support and commitment to our Lopez School that Greg worked so hard to help develop, never took for granted, and for which he was continuously grateful.

As one small token of appreciation and as a lasting reminder of his influence on our school and our community, the school board has approved the naming of Greg’s beloved middle school commons as “Greg Ewert Commons.” A carved wooden sign will be erected soon to further remind people of his legacy.

Goodbye old friend, and thank you for your educational leadership and love of the unbridled spirit of young people.

Thank you for the music Thank you to all Lopez music lovers for bringing the Miró Quartet to Lopez Island on Aug. 10 for the 15th annual Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival.

They loved Lopez, especially Grace Church and the KLOI Studio, and they are still talking about the warmth and musical sensitivity of the Lopezians they met and talked with that night.

You packed the church with a full house for them, and responded to their chamber music with wonderful attention and enchantment. From the roof-raising response to their unexpected encore of Orange Blossom Special, anyone can agree the evening was an outstanding success!

To listen to their preconcert interview with Gary Alexander at KLOI, check the KLOI archives at www. kloi.org and watch the quartet’s website, www.miroquartet.com. Thanks for the successful event are due entirely to the concert’s Lopez Island sponsors Rick Strachan and Ginni Keith, along with 33 co-sponsors and 18 hardworking volunteers.

Many concert attendees asked if a similar Lopez program can be repeated next August during the 2013 Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. I am told

A shuttle van will transport walkers to the beginning of the hike at SJPT’s Beecher Preserve. The hike should take 1.5 to 2 hours and will end at the Hummel Lake parking area at 11:30 a.m. This trip is limited to 12 participants.

that the decision rests with the music festival’s board of directors, who would like to hear comments from the first-time Lopez audience.

Please jot your thoughts and suggestions down and leave them for Micki Ryan at the Lopez Library’s “post office” box behind the check-out desk, or email them to mickiryan@rockisland.com.

Comments will be compiled and provided to Executive Director Victoria Parker who will make the presentation to the board.

As many commented that night, perhaps this was the first annual Lopez Concert of the summer Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival!

Guest Column

Vote no on Charter Review amendments

By Janice Peterson

I am a member of the Charter Review Commission, one of three no votes on the amendments.

I would like to respond to Gordy Petersen.

Mr. Petersen criticizes the “costly” decisions from the current sixmember council. He does not explain or support his opinion. According to the county auditor, the costs of a six-member or threemember council are about the same.

Neither does Mr. Petersen explain why decisions are twice as hard to make with six. The trouble with so many of Mr. Petersen’s pronouncements is exactly this lack of supporting evidence.

All council meetings and subcommittee meetings are open to the public now. There is no need for Proposition 3, which would amend the county charter to state that all meetings of the county council and its committees be open to the public except when an executive, or closed, session is allowed by law.

The prosecuting attorney issued a ruling in April, based entirely on considerations unrelated to the CRC, that the subcommittee meetings should be open to the public and publicized. The council immediately complied.

Proposition 3 is redundant and unnecessary.

Former freeholders were not invited to testify despite repeated requests to offer them the opportunity. They wrote the charter but the CRC chairman refused to ask them to speak to us. These 21 county citizens were elected to write a Home Rule Charter. No one knows more about the process that originated the charter than the Freeholders. Yet we had no freeholders and seven former Board of County Commissioner members testified - all of whom spoke glowingly of the old BOCC three-member board and reinforced the CRC’s premature conclusions. Three of them are the signers for the proposition that would return the county to the old model they admire.

These circumstances are testament to a very biased process.

Mr. Petersen asserts that the six council members only attend to the narrow interests of their districts. Could we have some proof?

Mr. Petersen says that the three-member leadership body has “140 years of success.” I disagree. It was not successful. The Friends of the San Juans’ 2004 report noted, “This commission form was established by the state in its

Constitution in 1889 to suit conditions then. Society has changed; government has not.”

Mr. Petersen says the council is not transparent.

“The cake is being baked behind the scenes.” The CRC, like the council, falls under the Open Public Meetings Act. A CRC

and virtually nothing to suppor t the “working model” to which the majority attached itself for the next six months. · Having made their decisions, the CRC then invited seven former BOCC members to attend, all of whom enthusiastically approved of the old ways of doing things. · All three signers on Proposition 1 to return to three council members are

member, writing for publication, commented on the “hundreds of hours outside the meetings” spent by the CRC. How many of those meetings were open to the public? · The CRC made the most important decisions after only one week. No inter views, no research,

former BOCC members. · The charter review was not a review and the people of San Juan County are the worse for this wasted opportunity. · Proposition 1 will mean unequal representation.

Many voters think this is unfair, including residents on Lopez. The majority of county residents voted in 2005 to get rid of this See CHARTER, page 5

An illustrated travelogue Of Washington territory and state history Well-known Pacific Northwest historian Lorraine McConaghy will present a program based on her new book, “New Land, North of the Columbia.” The research project for “New Land” involved more than a year of travel throughout Washington, drawing from archival material ranging from maps, correspondence and public records to patent drawings, menus and paper dolls. This presentation is highly visual and deeply engaging.

The book “New Land, North of the Columbia” features nearly 400 documents, including a telegram Contributed photo to Washington territory’s governor Lorraine McConaghy’s book cover. signed by Abraham Lincoln, the rough draft of Theodore Roethke’s “The Rose,” and a NASA map of Washington, shot by Landsat satellites.

Copies of “New Land” will be available for signing and sale at each program.

Though only 11 1/2 years of age, J-37 earns the distinction as the youngest killer whale to give birth during the 36 years that the Center for Whale Research has been keeping tabs on the three closely related groups

of orcas, which together make up the southern resident population.

With the addition of the newborn, J-49, the population now numbers 86. “She’s a first-time mom and she’s also the youngest whale to have given birth that we know of,� said Erin Heydenreich, senior staff member at the San Juan Island-based research center, of J-37.

The mother and newborn were traveling the waters of

Lopez Center

Haro Strait when the two were first spotted together, on Aug. 6. Given the size of the calf — particularly small — and its appearance — a floppy dorsal fin and fetal folds (creases) still visible — Heydenreich said that J-49 was definitely “very, very new� at that time.

The three pods — called “residents� because they spend a majority of the year here — are considered endangered by the U.S. and Canada.

The population, believed to have been historically in the

high 100s, was decimated by captures for marine parks, which ended in the 1970s, followed by pollution and declining salmon runs.

The center’s annual survey of southern residents is used by the federal government as the population’s official count.

The whales’ population plummeted to 71 by 1973, climbed to 99 in 1995, then plummeted to 79 six years later. The population rebounded to 80 in 2002, 85 in 2004 and 89 in 2005, and has seesawed around 88 since then.

When Alex died during this time, Nancy said that “somehow we all managed to get through the grief, even though we were separated by long distances.”

After being ordained, Nancy returned to Florida and served in two parishes, a large one as an assisting priest, and one smaller, “smaller than Grace,” Nancy said, as their vicar. When Fons retired, he told Nancy that she could look for a position “anywhere.”

And she found Lopez.

When she is not at Grace Church, Nancy enjoys “anything involving my hands, like knitting, sewing – I even have tried papier mache, thanks, Polly Ham, and pottery, thanks Nancy Bingham.”

Nancy and Fons are still planning to travel as much as they can, but for now are content to explore Lopez.

“We loved Lopez from the first minute we arrived,” she said. “And we’re still in the honeymoon phase.”

Grace Episcopal Church will have a Celebration of New Ministry Service on Aug. 30, at 2 p.m. Nancy will officially be installed as vicar of the church. The event will be led by the Right Reverend Gregory Rickel, Bishop of the Diocese of Olympia.
