By Lorna ReeseSpecial to the Weekly
A child clutches a “new” toy; an islander patiently comes up with the perfect inventory of parts for a new project; cyclists soaked to the skin find ponchos; an island chef takes home a beautiful stainless steel stockpot and gorgeous maple chopping block.
These are the kind of sights that delight Micki Ryan, who set up the volun-teer program and serves as volunteer coordinator for the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District. Ryan also puts in time every Wednesday at the Take It or Leave It. Currently, 75-plus Lopezians have volun-teered at the dump; the goal is 100.
“They love what they’re doing,” says Ryan, “espe-cially the recycling helpers. We have several couples and
families and all ages from teens to 80s. One volun-teer doesn’t even live here full time. Every single one of them is more waste-savvy than I am. But I’m learning!”
Each volunteer signs up at lopezsolidwaste.org to put in at least one two-hour shift a month. Even with 75 volun-teers – plus LSWDD and Solid Waste Alternatives Program board and members – more volunteers are needed to pre-vent some shifts being under-staffed or volunteers having to work second shifts.
The first couple of weeks were challenging for volun-teers and for donors, Ryan confesses, as everyone needed to get re-accustomed to recycling and especially to a more managed Take it or Leave It. Volunteers now sort through donations to be sure they’re suitable for TIOLI, so visitors will find a
cleaner, more organized site and better quality items on the shelves. Neil Hanson and Ona Blue continue together, as they have for years, to put in volunteer hours every week sorting, cleaning and arranging items for “shop-pers’” comfort.
However, the cleaned-up, revitalized TIOLI is just one aspect of transformation at the dump. Changes in recy-cling have been major, too. Hanson, facility manager and one of two paid employ-ees, has worked there for 22 years. During this time, he developed a vision for achiev-ing Zero Waste by diverting materials from the landfill by re-use, repurposing and recy-
cling. Hanson is constantly researching new receivers or buyers for Lopez reclaimable waste. This effort extends to TIOLI as well, where visitors will now see large bins added for fiber reclamation -- cloth-ing, textiles, shoes and belts that cannot be re-used.
With the creation of the Lopez Solid Waste Disposal District, the Lopez Dump has become a true commu-nity-wide project, according to Sarah Eppenbach, chair-woman of the SWAP board. She sees this reflected in the level of commitment from the 75-plus volunteers working outdoors rain or shine.

To Our Lopez Friends, Neighbors and Property Owners!
• Should we let our school spend $28,000 a year per student, when Orcas and Friday Harbor schools are half this amount, and Spring Street School on San Juan is asking only $12,400 next year for what most consider an outstanding education?
• Will an atrium, bigger weight room, “certified” kitchen and other construction sought by the bond proposal improve our students’ less-than-excellent test scores?
• Do you want the Lopez School property tax to rise by 77%?
• The Federal Reserve Bank expects to keep interest rates at record lows until at least 2015. Should we allow the Lopez School Board to rush us into over-spending by having us believe that interest rates will increase next month, before a more conservative bond proposal can be put on the ballot?
• Can you support the restrictions placed upon the $1,000,000 State grants attached as an incentive to approve the bond?
• Are prominent backers of this initiative expecting to benefit from this renovation project through contracts?
• Vote for moderation in educational finance! Vote NO on the bond levy and let’s request a more reasonable version.

Wrong focus on School Bond
The huge amount of bond money proposed for our school is incorrectly focused on structure and facilities. Sure, I agree we need safety, correct, reliable plumbing and heating, excellent kitch-en facilities, an enclosed play area for elementary students, and comfortable rooms for students to concentrate. Water catchment and physi-cal fitness are important. Yes, school buses and the par-ent parking area need more space. In this whole proposal however, a critical item is missing: HOW CHILDREN LEARN.
Children (and adults) learn from teachers who make sub-jects interesting and encour-age students to think, create, and yes, even fail. This is par-ticularly true with a required subject that a student fears or loathes. My parents were public school teachers for 25 years. My brother continues as special education teacher. I understand that profession, and also remember being a

student trying to learn.I believe children and
young adults do NOT need state-of-the art architecture or equipment to learn well. Loving support and guid-ance for a student does way more than the ornamental items noted for the school bond this April 23. Instead of a fitness-room change, we could have an agreement with our new village fitness center. That would support a new business, not create a huge debt. Exterior lighting is already very bright; only a few dark corners need help at less cost--even if motion-activated.
We already have new taxes with Lopez Solid Waste. That is a good thing. But OPALCO is pushing us to subscribe to their broadband program, even more costly than the school bond. We home own-ers are being pressed too much.
We need a different plan--frugal, helpful. Also, in the near future we will probably be handed a school levy for salaries and administrative costs–none of those were addressed in this unreason-able bond. I voted NO on
the April 23 bond. I hope you do too.
Lois LudwigLopez island
Support for bondLike many others, we
have retired to Lopez Island and live here not only for its beauty, but, especially, for the sense of community we find here.
This extraordinary com-munity has built great things: the medical center, the Children’s Center, the Community Center, afford-able housing, and now, “the dump,”– to name a very few. In every example there were questions and challenges: “Do we really need it?” and “How can we afford it?”
We have asked the same questions regarding the cur-rent School Bond issue.
Over past years, our school has made remarkable prog-ress in improving, expand-ing, and upgrading cur-riculum and programs. Our school has become a matter of pride for our community; as important to us as any of our remarkable community-built assets.
However, we are convinced that major problems exist with our very old school build-ings, ranging from plumbing, heating, and fire suppression issues to inadequate class-room facilities and other significant issues related to safety, security, and learning environments. In our view, these require action, and the sooner the better. We owe it to our kids and to ourselves to update and up grade our deteriorated and out-of-date school facilities
There are reasons why this may not be the best time to propose a major bond issue, but, especially considering building costs and interest rates, there are reasons why it is. One thing is certain: put-ting off repairs and upgrading will cost far more later than if done now. For that reason, and for the clear need, we intend to vote for the School Bond and urge others to do so, too.
In short, we vote “yes” because of our pride in our community, knowing when a good deal is a good deal, and knowing that we will be helping future generations to enjoy qualities of life that are important to us.
Please join us in support-ing the Lopez School Bond.

Trouble if school bond fails
I am a civil engineer, hav-ing lived, worked and raised my family on Lopez Island for the past 20 years. My old-est, born here, has graduated from Lopez High School, and I have two daughters still attending. I have been with the school and with the Lopez School District through both thick and thin over the past two decades, and am well aware of the present state of the school buildings and campus.
The Lopez School facilities have been pieced-together on shoe-string budgets for at least the past 20 years. Frankly, the buildings are old and inefficient, systems are
failing and the infrastructure is a mess. We have already borrowed on the future; the school is falling apart because of an extended lack of invest-ment.
I had the opportunity to observe and participate in the preliminary visioning and cost estimating that went into the bond proposal. The approach was bottom-up and comprehensive, including days of meetings and weeks of cost development. The board proposes an option which utilized the bones of the existing campus, but changes the school in fun-damental ways, true to the collected vision, forever.
In my experience, the typical district approach would have been to balk at the costs, trimming, cut-ting, and hedging, until what remained addressed immedi-ate health and safety issues and things completely bro-ken. This approach has not worked well for the district in the past, and sometimes the things promised voters could not be delivered.
The school board has been brave, sticking to the vision and refraining from gutting the estimates before details are known or consid-ered. They have resolved to squeeze costs during the design phase and return sav-ings to the taxpayers.
If the bond proposal fails, we will get another, trimmed-down version next cycle, hav-ing lost some value in grants and lower interest rates. The tragedy will be that after completing minimal improve-ments at substantial cost, the facility will still be disjointed, aging and broken. We will find ourselves facing the same fundamental problems, exactly where we started.
Now is the time.dan drahn P.e.

Support for PrattI am voting for Lovel Pratt.
Here’s why: She is curious, listens and takes action. Her experience on the county council and planning com-mission has given her a solid understanding of key issues facing our community. She has actively championed local farmers and the protection of our islands from the potential impacts of oil spills.
Lovel has a strong commit-ment to creating a sound and responsible budget for our county. In the midst of dif-ficult times, she is not afraid to ask the difficult questions. Above all, she understands the diverse issues, opinions and lifestyles in our commu-nities … and respects that diversity.

By Lorna ReeseSpecial to the Weekly
Award-winning regional novelist Molly Gloss will read from her work in progress on April 18, at 7 p.m. at Woodman Hall. The reading is sponsored by the Friends of the Lopez Island Library and SHARK REEF Literary Magazine. It is the high-light of the Friends’ annual meeting.
“In most of my novels, I’ve written about women living untraditional lives in the Pacific Northwest,” said Gloss, “but my new book is about a young man
who heads down to Hollywood in 1938 to find work as a wrangler and stunt rider in cowboy movies. This means I’ve been groping my way into a story told almost entirely from the point of view of a 19-year-old male and a story that takes place almost entirely in southern California. It’s new territory for a woman writer whose native ground is the Pacific Northwest.”
Gloss’s first book “The Jump-Off Creek” was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award, as well as winner of
the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award and the Oregon Book Award. Her second book “Wild Life” is about an early-twentieth century fem-inist, who supports her household in Skamokawa, Wash., by writing adventure stories and scientific romances featuring girl heroes. This book was awarded the James Tiptree Jr. Prize in 2001 and was the 2002 selection for “If All of Seattle Reads the Same Book.”

Vote for KarpMichael Karp is running for
the OPALCO board, and he has our vote and full support. Michael is uniquely qualified for the OPALCO board. He has been pioneering innova-tive and successful energy efficiency, renewable energy and other programs for the past 35 years in Washington state and throughout the USA. He is a founding board member of the 30-year-old Northwest Energy Coalition, a consortium of over 100 consumer public interest and utilities in the four northwest states. Currently he is the founder and President and CEO of A World Institute for a Sustainable Humanity, and for the past 20 years has served as a consultant rep-resenting governments and non-profits on public interest power sector issues.
The power sector in the Pacific Northwest is under-going a significant change. Once abundant hydropower resources are stretched thinner and thinner and OPALCO’s guaranteed access to cheap hydropower is now capped at 2011 levels. Energy efficiency and cost-effective renewables region-wide have long served a key role in meeting increasing demands for electricity service in the Northwest, but OPALCO
has been timid in investing in local economy through rate-based investments of energy efficiency and local energy generation.
As OPALCO members, we need to prioritize and ramp up these efforts to face the new pressing challenge of ris-ing rates (“Tier 2” rates) and limited legacy hydroelectric-ity by updating OPALCO’s “story” and business model, redesigning tariff structure (instead of just passing on costs by raising rates across the board), and refocusing the board’s efforts towards its core business of efficiently and economically delivering energy services in the face of unprecedented uncertain-ties. Michael has the vision, solid energy background, the network and respect of professional colleagues, and
years of Pacific Northwest power sector management, board and policy experience needed at this critical time. We are very lucky to have people like him in our county. Let’s elect him to represent us on the OPALCO board.

A critical electionThe upcoming election is
a critical one for San Juan County, and we want to express our strong support for Lovel Pratt, Lisa Byers, and Jamie Stephens for coun-ty council.
We believe that these three individuals are the most like-ly to work as a team to return good, thoughtful governance to San Juan County, free of the negativity and acrimony
we have experienced in recent times.
All have demonstrated leadership and management skills, are good listeners, and have a wealth of experience in working with and for the county.
Lovel has represented the county in Olympia and has the trust and confidence of our elected representatives there, Lisa has successfully managed affordable housing efforts on Orcas Island, and Jamie has worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life for all Lopez residents--and ably serves as the current council chairman.
Please join us in support-ing Lovel, Lisa, and Jamie for county council.

How to kick the ‘plastic ‘ habit
Beth Terry, author of “Plastic Free: How I Kicked the Plastic Habit and How you Can Too” will give a presentation and sign books on April 28, 5:30 p.m., Lopez
Island, Woodman Hall.Plastics are so common in
our lives that we may not think much about them until we learn about the giant gar-bage patches of plastic trash in the oceans, or about how plastic trash can harm marine animals, or how plastics can affect our health. Plastics are useful, but they have come to dominate our world. Instead of being used where they are essential, plastics are used everywhere. Most things made of plastic are designed to be used once and then thrown away. This discarded plastic ends up in landfills, blows across the earth’s land-scapes, or ends up in our lakes, rivers and oceans.
In 2007, accountant Beth Terry began an experiment to see if she could live with-out acquiring any new plastic. Since then, she has reduced her plastic waste to 2 percent of the national average. In her talk, she will share personal stories and practical steps people can take to reduce the use of plastics.
This event is brought to Lopez with help from the Lopez Bookshop.
DVSAS dinnerLopez residents are invit-
ed to “Dinner on the Move: An Elegant Evening on the Rock for an Exceptional Cause” on May 5 from 4 to 9 p.m., and benefits the work of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services.

The Islands’ Weekly • www.islandsweekly.com • April 16, 2013 – Page 8
It’s time to pull together costumes and masks, giant puppets, artful displays, and instruments and pro-ceed through the streets of Lopez Village in a celebration of the community and the natural world known as the Procession of the Species. No motors, no pets, and no writ-ten words in the procession.
All are welcome and encouraged to join, and view-ers should get there early to stake out a good seat.
Lopez Island Conservation Corps has been the organizer the event since 2011 with sup-port and input from dozens of community members, and sponsorship from the Lopez Island Prevention Coalition. New for 2013 will be Good Steward Award ceremony put on by the Stewardship Network following the pro-cession. There will also be many local stewardship orga-
nizations booths there to share their good work. A community art studio was held at Lopez School over spring break, and a proces-sion-themed art exhibit has been up at the Post Office. Polly Ham, enthusiastic art-ist and procession volunteer, has been creating a life size elephant in the true spirit of
this event. “The project grew from my
dismay at the tragic slaughter of elephants for their tusks, growing even more intense in recent time,” she said. “This is my prayer that ele-phants will continue to walk our earth.” The Procession of the Species is on Saturday, April
20. Check in from 2-2:45 p.m. at the Community Center’s Outdoor Pavilion, and Proceed at 3 p.m. A potluck, Good Stewards Awards, and music will follow. For more info, go to lopezconservation-corps.org or contact Amanda Wedow and Charlie Behnke at 468-2951.

extends beyond board mem-bers and the cadre of orange-vested volunteers working
on-site,” she explains. “Povl Lasbo spent hundreds of hours, creating the cash management and accounting system used at the pay kiosk as well as the interactive online sign-up calendar used by volunteers. Bill Clemens, another technical wizard, installed all the systems and continues to monitor the computer, power supply and Internet connection. He also spent countless hours docu-menting Povl’s programs and training the staff and board members.
“Ann Palmer set up the public website, www.lopez-solidwaste.org, shared by LSWDD and SWAP and con-tinues to volunteer her time as webmaster,” Eppenbach
says. “Recently, the school shop offered to help, too, by building rummage tables. There are really too many people to name but it’s a pow-erful statement about how strongly Lopezians feel about our dump complex and about being good stewards of our island.”
Volunteers have been learning a lot.
“The enthusiasm, knowl-edge and time devoted by the board and committee members is impressive,” says Linda Noreen who vol-unteers in recycling. “Page Read, chairman of LSWDD, seems to be there every day teaching us how to be more efficient in our time and effort, but he also takes the
time to explain how much it costs to dispose of co-mingled garbage and why Manager Neil Hansen can get a better price when recyclables are clean and placed in the cor-rect bins.”
The two-hour shifts fly by, Noreen adds, with customers also eager to learn or relearn why certain procedures are required. Aluminum foil must be clean and flattened, for example, because of an incident where a foil ball con-tained a turkey.
Denise McIntosh Clark learned “how important it is to bring only useable goods to TIOLI; last year it cost $25,000 to remove unaccept-able donations, which includ-ed liquids, hazardous waste, broken items, moldy shoes and threadbare clothing.”
“I’m amazed how much ‘stuff’ is processed through in one shift,” says volunteer Joanne Bryant. “We are generating such community spirit by keeping our own system, and improving on it. This can-do attitude benefits us all.”
For volunteer Pete Gandini failure is not an option.
“We’ve taken on a respon-sibility and we’ll show the rest of the county how a well-run and efficient dump can be operated,” he says, “But we need more people to join, so I encourage everyone to sign up and be a part of this.”
Anyone wanting to volun-teer, visit www.lopezsolid-waste.org and follow links to the Volunteer Contact Form. Pick up a paper application at the library under the dump recruitment poster of Uncle Sam.
