Fourteen-year-old Gavin paused during baseball practice with his teammates at Lopez School on May 6. He saw his mother pull up and leap from the car waving for his attention. As he stared, Ellyn cupped her hands to her mouth and called across the field, “Gav! Marrowstone!” She then raised her arms to give him two thumbs up and a dazzling huge grin. All at once it hit. He was in.

The Marrowstone Music Festival, a program of the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestras, is the premier orchestra training program of the Pacific Northwest. The intensive summer program features an internationally acclaimed faculty; members of the world’s most distinguished symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, opera

The musical gifts of this distinguished faculty are vividly reflected in their devotion to the training of the next generation of young artists. Competition to enter the summer program at Western Washington University is stiff, with musicians from age 13 to 25 from more than 30 states and several foreign countries competing by audition for 200 places.

For his audition, recorded by Lopezian tech expert Glen Maxson at Lopez Center, Gavin played a Bach invention, a Chopin prelude, one movement from a Mozart sonata, and an excerpt from a sonata of his own composition. In addition to writing his own vision in his application, several letters of reference were provided including one from

fallow farmland to profitable production, especially if estate planning on old family farms becomes an issue.

Hughes said his main concern is for tracts of farmland more than 20 acres “that are actually used for farming.” He said that he is not trying to protect “hobby farms” and that “there are very rigorous procedures for getting into open space programs and staying in them.”

Land used for farming can receive reduction of tax assessments below “fair market value” if the farmer meets certain criteria for profitable farming under state law. “Current use farmland” tax assessment reductions are administered by the county assessor. These reductions are not time-limited, but if active farming ends, back taxes and penalties can be imposed.

Land not used for actual farming for a period of time can receive reduced assessments from the county council if the owner meets certain criteria set by county law. It is this law that is the subject of the proposed new ordinance.

Protest of Growlers School principal resigns Contributed photo

Growler protest.

Submitted by Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve Special to the Weekly

On Friday, May 9 more than 150 citizens from Northwest Puget Sound assembled at the entrance to the Navy’s Outlying Field, braving rain, hail, and scheduled flight training of the EA-18G Growlers for a peaceful protest vigil. They were there with rain gear, signs and high spirits to protest the return of the Growlers to the OLF Coupeville, where they have been absent for 11 months, flying elsewhere.

Groups at the vigil organized by COER represented Lopez Island, Port Townsend, and north, central and south Whidbey Island.

Just before the vigil began, an announcement was made at 11:06 a.m. by Mike Welding from NASWI: “Due to a change in schedule, Field Carrier Landing Practice (by the EA-18G Growlers) at the Outlying Landing Field in Coupeville will not be conducted today.”

Though the Navy has promised for years that they would provide a schedule for the community to plan around, they don’t keep to their schedules. The Growlers were scheduled to fly Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday during the first week of May. Instead, they flew Tuesday and Wednesday.

School activities, business dealings, plans for dinner, etc. all become victims of

the unbearable noise whenever it happens. Being unprepared for this high-level of noise is not only dangerous but emotionally jarring. This past Wednesday, May 8, during the Navy’s unscheduled Growler FCLP’s at OLF, they flew right over young children playing T-ball at a park located near the OLF. The game was cancelled after the children fell to the ground holding their ears. The mother of a 5-year old boy reported that her son held his ears and cried, “Mommy, my ears are breaking!”

Maryon Attwood from COER stated, “The Growlers and the location of Growler Flight Carrier Landing Practices are at issue here.

These low-level, extremely loud and harmful touch-andgoes do not belong over children playing ball, farmers farming their fields, residential neighborhoods, or over our national and state parks where people expect a natural soundscape - not a military one!” People from Lopez and north Whidbey Island suggested alternative locations for Growler FCLP’s such as China Lake where there are 1 million acres of desert to practice over and where the field does not interfere with or harm the community. “The Navy has many alternatives,” stated Cynthia Dilling from Lopez Island.

COER and a growing list of citizen organizations claim that Growler operations harm

the health, economic welfare, tourism, property values, and natural environment of those living in north Puget Sound, including Victoria BC, Port Townsend, Camano Island, La Conner, Fidalgo Island, Lopez, and the San Juan Islands. “This is a four-county problem,” stated Ken Pickard of COER. “In spite of the hail and rain and black skies, we reached our attendance goal for our first vigil and hope more will stand with us at the next vigil,” concluded Michael Monson, President of COER.

Submitted by Bill Evans Lopez School Superintendent

It is with sadness that I must share with you that Principal Lisa Shelby, our K-12 Principal of Lopez School and Decatur School, has submitted her resignation, effective at the end of this school year. She has made the very difficult decision to leave this school that she has served so well, to accept an educational opportunity in Alaska.

She will finish the current school year and work through the end of June.

Ms. Shelby has not made this decision lightly and, while excited for new adventures, leaves Lopez Island School District with reluctance and characteristic concern for the many young people she has come to care for so deeply. The opportunity to have more quality time with her family, work in a more supportive educational position, and return to Alaska where she and her family have relationships, roots, and property, led Ms. Shelby to this decision when presented with an unexpected opportunity. She is looking forward to returning to a better, more healthy balance between her family and her educational roles.

The district is deeply appreciative of the selfless service she extended to the young people, staff, and communities of these islands. Her work has been exemplary and she has touched many lives. Under her leadership, the district has made significant gains educationally, including a new elementary focus, positive growth in K-12 curriculum, the hiring of new and effective faculty when the opportunity presented itself, and award-winning overall educational growth.

The district will be considering carefully the process of trying to fill the many roles fulfilled so capably by Ms. Shelby. In the days to come, we will determine the best course of action that will continue the work toward quality of instruction and student learning that have been the hallmark of Ms. Shelby’s time at Lopez. We will keep the community informed as we move forward in this transition.

We wish her, and Rob and Tristan, well in their new adventures.

Thank you for your support of Ms. Shelby, her family, our students, and our Lopez School District in this time of transition.

IT’S ELECTRIFYING! Index of Fun Facts: BPA Planned Power Outage May 9, 2014 THANK YOU to the OPALCO operations and engineering staff who brought us through this mandatory Bonneville Power Administration county-wide outage! For most of us, this was a smooth and seamless operation. Thanks, also, to the handful of co-op members who were out of power a little longer. This rare transmission outage event gave us the opportunity to really test our system and we found a few weak links. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we addressed those issues; we all benefit from a stronger, more reliable system as a result!

PREPARATIONS: • 6 weeks to plan the county-wide outage event • 9 regional meetings to work out the logistics • 42 hours of labor (General Foreman-3, Line Foreman-3, Engineer) on May 8th to prepare for the May 9th outage THE OUTAGE EVENT: • 16 OPALCO personnel working (Lineman-13, General Foreman-2, Dispatcher) • 15 BPA personnel (Lopez-2, Fidalgo Substation-10, Custer Substation-2, Vancouver, WA-1 ) • 96 OPALCO crew hours in the field (13 crew x 6 hours) doing maintenance and repair work RESULTS ON OPALCO’S SYSTEM: 12 transmission poles cleaned and inspected 7 miles of transmission line examined, maintained and tested 6 transmission poles re-built with new insulators 5 high-voltage switches cleaned and tested 4 new distribution switches installed and tested 1 hazardous tree trimmed 14,000 (approximately) members out of power 5 devices (out of 1,200+ total) failed upon restoraton of power (Lopez-2, San Juan-3) 6,000 (approximate total) members restored by 6:15 am 9,000 (approximate total) members restored by 6:30 am 12,000 (approximate total) members restored by 7:00 am. Note: After 7:00 am, only Friday Harbor substation remained down, in part due to high system start-up loads.

• All but 70 members restored by 8:00 am. This restoration delay was in part due to high system loads that needed to be managed to prevent a low voltage condition for the entire Island.

• 18 hours of continuous work by 2 members of our Lopez Crew (Tim Savage and Kai Burleson), who worked from 11:00 pm May 8th until 5:00 PM May 9th – staying on duty to restore power to 44 members on Lopez. All other crews were released at 10:00 am May 9th.

Annual Woodmen Hall Auction It started out so innocently. In 2005, the Lopez Seniors lost their lease at the fire house and purchased the historic, but derelict, Legion Hall (as it was known then).

A couple of ladies felt this last-remaining historic community building (originally known as Woodmen Hall) should also be made available to all Lopezians as in years past. The Lopez Seniors concurred but soon realized gathering the funds needed to restore it to its former

glory and functionality would be a monumental task. Thus began the working relationship between Lopez Senior Services and The Friends of Woodmen Hall.

Fast forward nine years and here we are, preparing for the Eighth Annual Friends of Woodmen Hall Auction and Yard Sale, to be held at the hall on Sunday, May 25. The Yard Sale begins at 10 a.m. and the Auction at 1 p.m.

Thanks to fundraisers like this (only made possible by generous donations from the Lopez community) and grass roots support (including many hours of volunteer labor from the seniors) the hall has received many upgrades:

insulation (its first in all its 100 years!), new bathrooms, commercial grade kitchen, rejuvenated flooring, lots of paint, stage improvements, lighting, upgraded electrical, new windows throughout, water upgrades, new roof, improved parking, and landscaping.

The old gal is looking mighty good, and not only do the Lopez Seniors now own a comfortable, attractive site for their activities but a wide variety of community functions such as weddings, dances and music events will keep this historic building’s 100 year-plus traditions alive and well.

Still, much work remains.

First and foremost, a ramp and exit door from the back of the building is a safety issue we must address.

Improved storage, signage, picnic tables, and a “green room” for the stage are also on the current list.

Many incredible items have been donated and with your continued support this could be our biggest event ever! Some items will be posted at www.friendsofwoodmenhall.org for you to check out. Food and drink will be available, so join us for the day and also take time to soak in all of the changes to Woodmen Hall you have helped make a reality.

Douglas Smith lecture Douglas Smith, author of “Former People: The Final Days of the Russian Aristocracy”, will be at Lopez Bookshop Saturday, June 7 at 5 p.m.

Smith is an awarding-winning historian and translator, and the author of four books on Russia. He studied German and Russian at the University of Vermont and has a doctorate in history from UCLA. Over the past twenty-five years Smith has made many trips to Russia. In the 1980s, he was a Russian-speaking guide on the U. S. State Department’s exhibition “Information USA” that traveled throughout the USSR. He has worked as a Soviet affairs analyst at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in Munich, Germany, specializing in Russian nationalism and served as an interpreter for late President Reagan.

Smith has taught and lectured widely in the United States, Britain, and Europe and has appeared in documentaries for A&E and

National Geographic. He is the recipient of numerous awards and distinctions, including a Fulbright scholarship and a residency at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Study Center.

“Former People” recounts the history of the aristocracy caught up in the maelstrom of the Bolshevik Revolution and the creation of Stalin’s Russia.

“Former People” is also a story of survival and accommodation, of how many of the tsarist ruling class – socalled “former people” and “class enemies“—overcame the psychological wounds inflicted by the loss of their world and decades of repression as they struggled to find a place for themselves and their families in the new, hostile order of the Soviet Union.

Chronicling the fate of two great aristocratic families – the Sheremetevs and the Golitsyns – it reveals how even in the darkest depths of the terror, daily life went on.

Obituary:

Betty May Shuttleworth

05/13/1926 – 02/05/2014 San Diego/Lopez Island Born May 13, 1926 in Hollywood, California. She was the middle of three sisters and 100 percent Norwegian descent. Betty graduated from Nor th Hollywood High School.

She met her husband Kenneth “Shutt” in 1946.

He had just returned from the war, where he flew B-25 bombers. They were married in 1948 and in the mid 50’s had two children, Jan and Dean. The family moved to San Diego in 1970. In addition to caring for her family, she enjoyed gardening and quilting. She was an active member of the San Diego Alzheimer’s Disease Association. She moved to

Lopez Island in 1986 to be closer to her friend, Donna. She enjoyed playing cards with her new friends and volunteering at the Center Church and Cemeter y. Throughout the year they would make crafts and wreaths to sell during the holidays. Her passion was quilting. Her

L OPEZ ISLAND • CONTRACTORS •

favorite thing was to make a quilt for the annual holiday sale and raffle. Betty’s husband “Shutt” passed away in 1988 and Donna in 1994. Getting close to her 80th birthday, island life became a challenge.

Betty sold her home and moved back to San Diego to be close to her daughter. With ongoing medical issues Betty moved to an assisted living facility in Eugene Ore., close to her son Dean. The weather reminded her of Lopez Island. Betty is survived by her children Jan and Dean, his wife Jeanne and their son Christopher.

There will be a memorial service held for both Betty and “Shutt” on May 30, 2014 at the Center Church on Lopez Island at 1 p.m.

With his mop of white hair and pen and pad in hand, Ted Grossman was an icon of Orcas Island.

Grossman, former owner and editor of the Islands’ Sounder, passed away on May 3. He was at the helm of the Sounder for 21 years, covering the joys and heartbreak of a community he adored.

“Ted was the consummate small town newsman,” said Elyse Van den Bosch, former publisher of the Sounder and the Weekly. “He had his reporter’s hat on 24/7 and really believed that the local newspaper could and should be a valuable community resource. He was a compassionate and sensitive person who cared as much about the smaller human interest stories as he did the more dramatic, hard news ones.”

Scott Rasmussen, now editor of the Journal of the San Juans, worked for Ted as the county reporter. He says he feels blessed to have known him.

“I became better at what I did because it mattered to Ted,” he said. “Still, it was never purely top-down with Ted, a one-way street.

Over time I came to realize my contribution was not simply expected, but valued, my ideas and insights as well. When someone relies on and trusts in you, it makes a difference.”

Throughout his nearly 30-year newspaper career, Ted received many awards from both the Washington and Oregon Newspaper

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

San Juan County

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the seller’s and buyer’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Friedmann certainly understands his excitement, noting “I also had the incredible opportunity to

This competition is open to fifth to eighth grades, unless you have strong 4th graders with the ability to compete.

“Composition interests me very much,” he remarked, and is looking forward to classes in composition at Marrowstone and with Seattle composer/conductor Adam Stern mid-May. When asked what types of composition Gavin would like to pursue, in addition to the piano works he has already produced, the fourteen-yearold explained, “Well, right now I’m working on two new sonatas, a piano concerto, a symphony, a string quartet, an opera, and various chamber music pieces.”
