Lopez Home Tour

Visit 7 distinctive homes while benefiting THE LOPEZ CENTER FOR COMMUNITY & THE ARTS

www.lopezcenter.com This is your once a year chance to see parts of Lopez you never knew existed including the charming McDermott/Gale home pictured here. It was probably constructed in the 1890's, sits on a beautiful 40 acre farm and has been remodeled several times through the years. Discover these places as you tour seven distinctive homes on the Friendly Isle. The Home Tour showcases, from north to south the McDermott/Gale, Tilles, Stone, Madrona, Roe, Gilder/ Slaughter and Finley homes. Whether surrounded by hay fields, nestled in the forest, or situated above the sea, each home is a reflection of the owner's unique building, decorating and landscaping style.

Miracle man Kevin Zoerb returns to work at OPALCO

Lopez Island journeyman lineman Kevin Zoerb has returned to work following an arduous journey of surgeries and healing for injuries he received when coming into contact with a high voltage line in September 2013. Dubbed the “Miracle Man” at Harborview Medical Center, Kevin has made a remarkable recovery.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kevin back to work,” said Foster Hildreth, general manager. “Kevin is a veteran lineman; he and his family are important members of the OPALCO family.”

OPALCO is committed to supporting Kevin as he regains his strength and transitions back into the trade.

A “Zoerb Family Fund” has been set up at Islanders Bank to help with expenses. Donations to the fund can be made through any Islanders Bank branch. The OPALCO board has committed $3,000 to the fund and would like to invite members to make donations in order to meet the family’s needs over the coming months.

“We expect to see him back in full force within a year. OPALCO’s safety program will provide additional training opportunities to make sure this type of accident never happens again and to ensure the safety and confidence of all of our operations staff,” say OPALCO staff.

Get ready for Super Wide Groove

By Gretchen Wing Special to the Weekly

“Uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, that’s the way.” Feel that groove? You will. On Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m., Super Wide Groove will play its annual dance party, and Lopez Center will rock.

Unlike most bands, Super Wide Groove was a name before it was a group. As founder Bill Johnson tells it,

“A friend of mine observed the slotted paneling on the side of a barn and commented, ‘That is really a super, wide groove.’ I thought, ‘What a great name for a band!’” After securing the domain name and creating a website and a poster, Bill went in search of musical talent to fulfill his vision of a soul, funk and motown cover band. He found it in vocalists Kenny Ferrugiaro, Susie

LOPEZ LOBOS Home Games This Week: 9/11 Volleyball vs. Grace Academy 2:15 9/13 Soccer vs. Orcas 3:00 ‘The Pack’

The self-guided tour begins at 11 AM and ends at 4 PM. Go it alone or leave your vehicle at the Center and car pool with friends. And while at the center, and at some houses between 9:30 AM and noon, you may purchase a delicious Lopez Village Market-made $5 box lunch for the event.

Tour tickets are $30 and available at the Lopez Center for the Community and the Arts, Saturday Farmers Markets, Paper, Scissors on the Rock, Lopez Bookshop, and through www.lopezcenter.com. Home Tour income is vital for keeping LCCA event prices low so all Lopezians can enjoy the many and varied yearlong happenings.

What a great way to spend a day while supporting the LCCA!

A formal investigation of the accident is underway. The co-op has a strong safety education and training program led by an industry expert, Jeff Myers of Columbia Rural Electric Association. OPALCO’s safety committee meets monthly to review safety issues and provide training to both outside and inside staff.

A community BBQ is scheduled on Friday, Oct. 3 from 12 – 3 p.m. at the Lopez Crew Station to celebrate Kevin’s amazing story and return to work. Hamburgers, hot dogs and all the fixings will be provided.

All are welcome.

Teague, and Nick Teague; Colin Doherty on bass, Beth Geever at the keyboards, and Todd Goldsmith on percussion and vocals. Bill fills out the band on guitar and vocals. The group operates in an environment of openness, egos left at the door.

Everyone in the band contributes to the musical selections and arrangements.

The band’s groove is as super powerful as it is wide.

At last year’s dance party, numbers like KC and the Sunshine Band’s “Get Down Tonight” and James Brown’s “I Feel Good” had the entire center boogying. Slow songs like Smokey Robinson’s “Ooh

Baby Baby” allowed folks to catch their breath, but the feet never stopped moving.

Says Bill, “I started the band to share the music that I and a zillion Baby Boomers grew up listening to.” The crowd’s reaction last year bears this out: most songs were recognized from the opening lick, and greeted like old friends.

Besides the seven core members, Super Wide Groove shares the stage on several songs with temporary members who participate in specific rehearsals.

This year’s lineup includes singers Dylan Weber and SEE GROOVE, PAGE 8

All scholarships awarded can be applied for academic or vocational programs (certain stipulations and requirements apply-continuous enrollment and GPA, for example). Pat Roe, a 50-year resident, conceived this plan and organized it as a tax exempt fund.

Why cut the mustard? Because it’s noxious and invasive Contributed photo / King County Noxious Weed Board

Left: Garlic mustard.

By Kate Yturri, Judy Winer and Gwen Stamm San Juan Master Gardeners

Garlic mustard is a flowering herb that was introduced to North America from Europe as a food and medicinal plant. Although edible for humans, it is not eaten by local wildlife or insects. It is a fast growing, damaging invasive weed that once established is difficult to eradicate. It is a biennial or winter annual

herb that spreads prolifically by seed. It can crosspollinate or self-pollinate and quickly out competes native vegetation. Garlic mustard grows well under many different conditions and has the ability to produce chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants and mychorrizal fungi needed for healthy tree seedling survival and tree growth.

Garlic mustard is a Class A noxious weed with a limited

distribution in Washington, and eradication is required state-wide. It is also on the Washington quarantine or prohibited plants list and is prohibited to transport, buy, sell, offer for sale or to distribute. It has been found overtaking a private garden near Eastsound on Orcas.

First-year garlic mustard is a low growing rosette with rounded kidney shaped, scalloped edged leaves.

Garlic mustard looks similar in appearance to the non-native and common nipplewort, (Lapsana communis), however garlic mustard leaves are not fuzzy or hairy like nipplewort.

Second-year plants typically grow to three feet tall, but can be a few inches to over six feet tall. The upper leaves on each stem become more triangular and smaller toward the top of the plant.

Sucia work party is a success Friends of the San Juans wishes to thank the 29 volunteers from Orcas, Lopez, San Juan, and Shaw Islands as well as LUSH Seattle store volunteers who participated in a shoreline work party at Fossil Bay on Sucia Island. Following a boat ride to Sucia and an overview of the value of beaches to surf smelt and salmon everyone got right to work clearing litter from over a mile of beach; conducting five surf smelt egg surveys and removing rock from 1,500 square feet of surf smelt spawning habitat. The Fossil Bay beach is one of the latest identified as a smelt spawning beach in San Juan County. FRIENDS and Washington State Parks are working together to develop multiple shoreline projects on Sucia Island.

For more information on forage fish or FRIENDS restoration programs and volunteer opportunities for 2014/2015, contact FRIENDS at tina@sanjuans.org or 378-2319.

They are coarsely toothed, and often smell like garlic when crushed. The flowers are small and white with four petals and appear in early spring in clusters at the top of the stem. Plants are usually single stemmed but if crushed or cut they will develop multiple stems.

Roots typically have a characteristic s-shaped bend.

First-year rosettes are usually noted in midsummer through the following spring and then the plant bolts into the upright mature stage in late April though May; seed production rapidly follows. Since garlic mustard can tolerate a wide range of light, soil, moisture and terrain conditions, it can be found anywhere. Seeds are small and easily spread by animals, people, and vehicles and also by water, birds and other vectors. Seeds can last in the soil for up to 10 years.

Control is very difficult so identification is most impor-

tant so that the plants can be removed before established and infestations can be prevented. Hand pulling plants is effective if the entire root is removed. If plants are flowering or seeding, they must be bagged and discarded in the garbage.

Care must be taken to clean clothing, shoes and tools to avoid carrying the seeds to new sites. After pulling, it

may help to cover dense infestations of garlic mustard with wood chip mulch to reduce germination of seeds left behind. Infested sites should then be monitored closely for new plants.

they faced their foes and lost, they took home pride for an overall wellplayed run.

“Last year’s group over-achieved and played above expectations and played those teams, that are top in the state, well,” said head coach Larry Berg.

Despite losing four seniors this season, Berg remains optimistic about the next few months. He also realizes that the Lobos’ league is one of the toughest as Lummi is ranked number one and Leah Bay is ranked number two.

“It definitely makes it difficult,” he said.

What will be easy is to continue teaching players to be better peo-

ple. Over the last three years Berg has led football players to not only win games, but to learn to be better people. It’s a motto that Berg uses as his barometer for his own coaching skills.

“If the boys are not better men at the end of the season then I’ve done a poor job and shouldn’t be teaching,” said Berg. “They should be good people in all aspects from the classroom to sportsmanship.”

Berg must be doing something right because the Lobos won the John Trotto Best Sportmanship Award for all the entire Northwest last season.

Representatives from the Football Officials Association look at the attitude and respect shown toward game officials and opponents as the determining factor to assigning the award.

“They are good citizens,” said Berg about his team. “They are going through a learning process and growing up and taking responsibility.”

While on the field, Berg said the team may have some harder work cut out for them.

With a smaller team of 13, the players will have to make some interesting adjustments with their offensive line to make up with for what they lack.

“We will have to spread ourselves out big with a lot of splits and runs and we will have to throw a lot,” he said.

The team’s biggest strength this year will be speed and teamwork.

Berg describes the players as “a lot faster and they will have to come together. They will have to play as a unit to do well and they will have to depend on each other.”

One way the team has to come together is that with small numbers they all must learn every position. If one player is not understanding the moves, another player will have to step in and teach that person.

“We are only as strong as the weakest link and now we are just firming up the chain,” he said.

Lobos Soccer is looking strong for 2014.

This year the Lopez soccer team is looking promising in the pre-season.

Although short on numbers with a bench of only 13, but the team strong in spirit, talent and enthusiasm.

Our three strong and seasoned seniors, Cosmos Cordova, Will Fields, and Axle Rendon are looking to make a mark on the standings in their last year of varsity play.

These three players have gotten more fun to watch each year and promise to please this season. Flanked by one junior Dawson Hall and one sophomore Dylan Moore, and supported by a rookie squad with impressive speed and athleticism, they will be captaining a team very capable of taking a piece of the winners’ circle. We are also blessed this year with the camaraderie and skills of two players from abroad, Fabio Setti from Italy and Louis Adriaens from Belgium. Aside from being gentlemen and scholars, these two bring a patient, competent, and European flair to the pitch this

This fall, 13 Lobos will be hitting the court ready to bump, set and spike their way through another volleyball season.

For coach Jeremiah Johnson this year will mark another exciting opportunity for the team. He sums up last year’s playing in one word, “great.”

This is the third year Johnson will be coaching the Lopez Island High School volleyball team. His favorite part of watching the team develop is seeing the girls become part of a team. In fact team spirit is what he likes best about volleyball.

As far as strengths for this year’s team, Johnson points to a full team with players that know the game as well as new players ready to get their hands on a volleyball.

“Our senior players are a great strength and we have some quick-learning freshmen players,” he said.

Pat was born Patricia Ann Farrell in Buffalo, New York in 1929. She lived with her parents and her sister Ruth in a diverse working class neighborhood where she relentlessly rescued “animals in need” (cats, dogs, rabbits, birds) and brought them home, much to her parent’s chagrin.

Her father was a firefighter and her mother a homemak-

er. Her sister Ruth Catalano is 10 years older and lives in Beaumont, Texas.

Pat trained as a teacher in Madison, Wis., and worked as a special education teacher in Denver, Colo.

She married and had three children, Susan, Laurie and Andy. She lived for a short time in California and then in Seattle, where she found her feminist and leftist polit-

Pat was a composting, recycling and co-op pioneer. She marched against the Vietnam war, supported the Labor Movement, and worked for equality for all people. She moved from Seattle to Lopez in 1971 to her home on Fisherman’s Bay. Pat worked at Lopez School for many years, first

Members of the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve announced today that the Navy has delayed the formation of a new expeditionary squadron of Growlers while the Environmental Impact Study is completed on the Growlers based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

According to Seapower Magazine, “A new date has not been set and will not be set until after the completion

of the environmental impact study,” said CDR Jeannie Groeneveld, Public Affairs Officer for Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet.

In reaction to this announcement from the Pacific Fleet Commanders, Michael Monson, president of COER, is calling for the Navy to delay the use of the Coupeville Outlying Field (OLF) for Flight Landing Carrier Practices,

as they did last year for 11 months. “Since the Navy has announced that it is delaying the formation of a new Growler squadron until the EIS is completed, COER believes it is reasonable to request a delay of training flights at OLF until the EIS is completed.

Additionally, COER believes the cessation of training flights at the OLF makes sense in light of the Navy’s announced intention to amend the Growler EIS,­ adding 22 more Growlers as a new alternative. “These are major changes in excess of the original EIS that citizens were allowed to comment on about transitioning from Prowlers to the Growlers,” said Monson.

From recent Freedom of Information requests that COER has received, it also seems likely that the Navy is thinking about abandoning its land­ ‐based expeditionary squadrons and making all Growlers carrier­ ‐based.

“This would have a huge impact on the number of FCLPs done on Whidbey Island and in the airspace of Northern Puget Sound, making life here, from Oak Harbor to Langley, from Port Townsend to Lopez and Friday Harbor, and over La Conner and many towns SEE JET, PAGE 8

Notice to Contractors Washington State Law (RCW 18.27.100) requires that all advertisements for construction related services include the contractor’s current department of Labor and Industries registration number in the advertisement.

Failure to obtain a certificate of registration from L&I or show the registration number in all advertising will result in a fine up to $5000 against the unregistered contractor.

For more information, call Labor and Industries Specialty Compliance Services Division at 1-800-647-0982 or check L&Is internet site at www.lni.wa.gov

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.

When most environmental impact studies are conducted, no harm is allowed while the study is conducted. The navy followed this established practice when it flew elsewhere and did

not use OLF for 11 months in 2013. Now, the Navy has announced it is amending the Growler EIS, pushing the draft deadline of the Growler EIS out into 2016 or 2017.

ate an EIS on the transition from Prowlers to Growlers at OLF, challenging the flawed internal Naval Environmental Assessment.

Mar yon Attwood, a small business owner, said she found the Navy’s “Good Neighbor” policy highly questionable as the increased flights are occurring in the same month when Whidbey Island has the most visitors.

“Last Friday,” she explained, “farmers could not bring in their crops for the Saturday market, artists could not set up their tents for a long­ ‐planned studio tour, and wedding planners had to delay their preparations. All of these activities were outdoors and had to be put on hold for the Navy jets. Sales are lost as potential customers arrive and then flee when the jets fly over. The arts industry here brings $13 million dollars to Island County and over 90 percent of our dollars stay right here,” concluded Attwood.

Northern Puget Sound

and places like Coupeville rely on tourism dollars for an active and growing local economy. There are 68 state parks and 8 national parks, wildlife refuges, forests and public lands that border Puget Sound. These assets help drive approximately $9.5 billion in travel spending, including 88,000 tourist­‐ related jobs that bring $3 billion in income to the region, according to Island County tourism sources COER is calling for the Navy to delay the use of the OLF as they did in 2013 for 11 months. While the Navy delays the formation of the new squadron, COER encourages the Navy to reinstate their protocol of flying elsewhere until such time as the Growler EIS is completed.
