“Honk if you like quiet skies” was written in bright letters and posted outside of the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts where the Navy held its first ever scoping meeting on Lopez on Dec. 3.
Just a few feet down the road, dressed in down jackets and fleece gloves and hats, Stanley and Kip
Greenthal passed out blue papers labeled Growler EIS Scoping Meeting.
‘This is our chance to show the Navy that we are impacted and do not want an escalation of noise and over flights from more Growlers,” said the flyer. “Our attendance will show that we are not willing to give up our quality of life and become collateral dam-age.”
The noise from thou-sands of engine tests and training runs by new EA 18G Growlers and other planes at Naval Air Station Whidbey and Outlying Landing Field Coupeville has generated outcry this year, mainly from Lopez Island. At a meeting held by Rep. Rick Larsen in early October, Lopezians asked for the Navy to come to Lopez to discuss the noise pollution from the aircraft.
Inside the community center, 25 representatives for the Navy answered those requests and spoke with islanders at different booths
labeled public involvement, Growler operations and air-craft noise.
There were also about five police officers stand-ing around the room. According to Navy Public Affairs Officer Ted Brown, the Navy always has some type of law enforcement at their meetings.More growlers?
County Councilman Jamie Stephens said that the Navy’s visit to Lopez is thanks to Rep. Rick Larsen push for the event.
“I think this is progress,” said Stephens watching as Lopezians approached the various booths. “The num-ber of people that have showed up is impressive.”
The meeting coincides with Larsen’s vote on Dec. 4 to allow the purchase of five additional A-18G Growlers. This brings the total number of Growlers
that Congress will purchase from 135 to 140.
“Congress’ decision to buy five more Growlers indicates the planes’ importance to our national defense in this age of new technology, and continues to underscore the nation-al commitment to main-taining Naval Air Station Whidbey Island as one of our country’s preeminent Navy bases,” Larsen said in a recent press release. “I want to be clear this does not mean NASWI will auto-matically house five more Growlers. The number of Growlers at NASWI will be determined by the ongo-ing Environmental Impact Study, which has provided multiple opportunities for public input.”
Currently, there are 82 Growlers actively flying out
of NASWI and 12 used as backup.The noise
Over the last several months the San Juan County Council collected data from islanders on a jet noise com-plaint website and sent that information to Navy officials and Larsen.
The website received 871 reports, mostly concen-trated on the south end of Lopez. Two hundred and eighteen of those reports came from 6 a.m. to noon and 224 came after 9 p.m. The data also shows that 150 people reported a low rumble and 240 reported extremely loud noise.
Stephens hopes the meet-ing on Lopez is a step closer to mitigate the noise pollu-tion. He hopes the Navy will implement Hush Houses to reroute the noise from the
revving of engines upward and thus creating less sound pollution, and structures at the end of the runway that you see at commercial air-ports that push the noise upwards.
At the Aircraft Noise booth there is sign explain-ing that a noise study will be conducted as part of the EIS and will evaluate sleep disturbance, indoor speech interference and classroom listening interference.
Stephens hopes that the Navy will test noises levels on Lopez that is the equiv-alent to what people are actually hearing. He is con-cerned that the Growlers are causing problems both on land and sea.
“The noise is affecting us so it has to be affecting marine life,” said Stephens.The scoping process
The highlight of the meeting for Stephens is that the Navy has extended the scoping process, allow-ing people to add official

The Lopez Library and Friends of the Lopez Library proudly present another program in their Winter Wanderlust Series (A wee bit ahead of the winter solstice). On Saturday, Dec. 13 from 6 to 7 p.m. the library will wel-
come author Judith Gille. She takes you on a journey south to Mexico with readings from her book “The View from Casa Chepitos: A Journey Beyond the Border.” The book resonated with read-ers, winning a 2014 Nautilus
Award, a number nine spot on the Elliott Bay Books’ best-seller list and the Grand Prize in Writer’s Digest’s Self-Published e-Book Awards. This beautiful story captures the author’s life in San Miguel de Allende and places a very
human face on the immi-gration controversy. It also provides a loving glimpse of friendships and cross-cultural relationships as well as an intimate look at Mexican life. Gille, of Seattle, writes about Mexican art and culture
and immigration issues. Her work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, The Dallas Morning News, the Florida Sun-Sentinel and in numer-ous magazines, online liter-ary journals and in antholo-gies. Join the library for what promises to be a fascinating and insightful evening south of the border. The vent includes a slide show and lecture in the Lopez Library Community Room.

By Liz Taylor Special to the Weekly
As the season of gift-giving descends upon us – Hanukkah, Solstice, Kwanzaa and Christmas – you might be having trouble thinking of the right pres-
ent for a frail older person. Among my parents and many clients, I’ve observed that the more impaired we become, the less “stuff” we want. In fact, for people liv-ing in small spaces, like a nursing home, assisted liv-
ing or adult family home, more is less – less wanted and appreciated.
Research shows that the kinds of experiences (and gifts) that make us happy tend to change over time; the older we are, the more we prefer the ordinary. When we’re young and expect to live a long time, we prefer unusual things that excite us. But when our time is more limited, the emphasis is on savoring what we already have, on what’s most meaningful.
What’s most meaningful isn’t usually a gadget or a tie or a new sweater (unless it’s really needed), but experi-ences. And it’s better if you (and other family members)
come with them. It can be hard -- even when you live close -- to get the fam-ily together for an older per-son’s holiday, and sometimes you just can’t. But here are some ideas that might fill the bill or inspire you to come up with some meaningful gifts on your own.
Begin by putting your-self in a frail older person’s place – what’s more lacking than easy access to stores, thrift stores and even the internet (if not internet-sav-vy)? Items most of us take for granted can be hard to obtain, especially when one stops driving. Pretty soaps, stationery and stamps, colognes and special foods like good cheeses, nuts or
wine might be welcome. Think hand-made. A cal-
endar of family photos for every month of the year, a quilt for the wall, a compila-tion of grandkids’ drawings, a crocheted lap rug, a fabric basket to carry things in on a walker (make sure it’s wash-able). A home-cooked meal.
What might an older per-son enjoy all year round? Ideas: a subscription to a newspaper or magazine; a hummingbird feeder – with food; favorite music on tapes or taped messages from family members who can’t visit; a book of Sudoku or crossword puzzles.
For the visually impaired, there are many sources of helpful gifts. From our local library comes large print books, audio books and loaned equipment, as well as musical instruments. The Washington Talking Books and Braille Library offers free, tax-supported access to a wide variety of magazines and books, plus the equip-ment to play them on any-where in our state, at 800-542-0866 or www.wtbbl.org. For a wealth of devices for visually impaired persons, be sure to check out SightConnections, at 206-525-5556 or www.SightConnections.com.
When your fingers and eyes don’t work as well as they used to, who wouldn’t like easy-wear, easy-care clothes, underwear, shoes and gadgets designed for people with disabilities? A long-time clothing company with excellent customer service in Seattle is Buck and Buck, at 800-458-0600 or www.buckandbuck.com.
Whatever you do, I hope your holiday is peace-filled.

Gifts for this holiday seasonGuest Column

Have fun and play bas-ketball.
That is Deanna Brant’s motto for the season.
Brant is stepping up to role of girls’ basketball head coach this year.
After a few years of coach-ing middle school girls’ basketball, Brant takes on the task of the varsity girls’ team.
Brant is perfect for the job since she grew up play-ing basketball on Lopez
until her senior year of high school when she played for Cleveland High School in Seattle.
The life lessons she wants the girls to walk away with this year are “Teamwork, commitment, determina-tion, patience, how to set and achieve goals, how to both win and lose with grace and humility,” she said.
Last year, the Lobos ended the season with a strong finish of 9 wins and 10 losses. Those wins were
not an easy task to accom-plish with a small team, but the girls were determined to play well.
“They played with a very small group of girls, often finishing games with less than five players on the court,” said Brant. “They played hard and had a good season.”
This year’s team has a mix of ages. The lineup features seniors Bree Swanson and Riley Magnuson, juniors Emalie Hobi and Sophie Burton,
freshmen Jana Gruenwald and Anah-Kate Drahn and eighth-grader Zoe Reinmuth.
Brant is confident that this year’s team will be dedi-cated to the sport, but she also hopes they can enjoy themselves.
“Our numbers are small, but the Lady Lobos are strong basketball players,” said Brant. “They work hard and play as a team and they have a lot of fun in the process.”

Small, but determined b-ball team
By Cali BagbyWeekly editor
By Dec. 19, the Lopez Boys’ Basketball team will have played six league games and two non-league games.
Coach MR Buffum’s goal for the boys is to win at least half of the league games.
“We’re a small team so we will have to work together,” he said.
Last year the team ended the regular season 3 wins and 13 losses, but experienced the victory of winning a playoff game against Shoreline Christian.
Now eight players from last year’s team will hit the court running this season.
“That will have to help us,” said Buffum about having a large return.
Those eight players will also have a vital role in leading
the other six members that have never played before. Five of the new players are exchange students.
“The older kids will have to step it up,” said Buffum.Luckily the small team comes with long-standing bonds
that will help them secure wins.Three of the junior players have been on the same team
since sixth grade. But overall Buffum said one of the team’s greatest assets will be how they work together.
“They all play really well together,” said Buffum.The teams other great strengths are shooting the ball
and having great speed. Buffum said rebounding will be a challenge due to their size. As far as other goals – Lummi and Tulalip will, as always, be the teams to beat.
“I hope we get better and better and can compete with those tougher teams,” said Buffum.
This year marks Buffum’s 23rd year as a basketball coach.

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) 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 quan- tity 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 de- livery 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.To make a firewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

Submitted by Lopez SchoolIn this holiday season,
Lopez School District wish-es once again to share its gratitude for the commu-nity’s generous support of the school with the passage of the School Renovation
Bond. We have a lot of exciting work ahead. In service to that effort, this will be the first of an ongo-ing series of community communications providing project updates as well as opportunities for commu-
nity involvement.Two items for immedi-
ate attention are the forma-tion of the project design advisory team and a call for project manager appli-cants.
The project design advi-sory team is an integral part of the design process and brings together stu-dents, faculty, school staff and community members to advise the district and project professionals on the overall renovation effort. The team will be similar in composition and operation to the successful budget advisory committee which worked with the school this past spring. Three to five community member posi-tions need to be filled.
The district invites indi-viduals to visit the school website at www.lopezis-landschool.org for further information on the work and on how to submit your interest in serving. Submissions are due Dec. 22. The group begins its work in mid-January for an approximate one- year period. Team members will need to be available throughout that time period and have flexible schedules allowing them to participate in a number of day-long workshops. Details on the role of the team members, schedule and time commitments are posted on the school web-site.
The second critical role needing to be filled at this time is the Project Manager, or Owner’s Representative. This position is critical to
managing such a large and complex program. The role is also required by the state of Washington to meet state construction requirements and for the project to be eligible for any state match-ing funds that may become available. Posted on the school website is a detailed “Request for Qualifications.” Interested parties are wel-comed to review that request. Applications are due at the school district office by Jan. 9 at 5 p.m.
In other project news, the overall schedule has been set. As mentioned above, the programming and design process will begin this January. Facility items needing immediate attention (likely including the septic system) will be worked on this upcom-ing summer. Design, con-struction documents, per-mitting, bidding and con-struction startup will con-tinue through the begin-ning of 2016. Major reno-vation construction will begin June 2016, continue in phases throughout the following school year and will be fully completed in August 2017. Renovating and operating school requires a sophisticated ballet of project phasing, likely some temporary portable classrooms, and a longer construction peri-od.
Again, the students, fami-lies and staff of Lopez and Decatur Schools so greatly appreciate the communi-ty’s support. This will be a lengthy and involved proj-ect, but the outcome will be a revitalized facility that can best support the ongoing education of our youth. As always, you can contact Bill Evans, Superintendent, at 468-2202, about this project.

Open Every Day Dec 11-24
A new Lopez Island Junk Bond, designed by Slow Art Studio and Bindery artist Brenna Jael, has been issued by SWAP, the nonprofit organization that supports the Lopez Island Dump. Third in the popular series, the 2014 Series C bond celebrates the culture of the Take-It-Or-Leave-It with a vivid design inspired by a $2 bill (but fea-turing a crow and a garbage can!) and the motto, “It’s not just a transfer station, it’s a philosophy.”
“I was honored and excited to be asked to draw the 2014 Junk Bond,” comments Jael. “I was inspired by a $2 bill I had floating around in my bus and by the fact that my ‘primitive’ lifestyle is both a comprehensive recycling project and a philosophy of liv-
ing.” The Lopez artist “went sort of crazy” with the color, working from a palette of rich greens, teal, blue and straw. “Since drawing with ink is my first love, it was a pure plea-sure to contribute in this way,” she adds.
Unlike real bonds, the $25 Junk Bonds cannot be redeemed for anything, but as local works of art they make won-derful conversation pieces and unusual, packable gifts. Income from bond sales helps provide supplementary funding to support the mission and activities of the Lopez Dump.
The Brenna Jael Junk Bond can be pur-chased at Paper Scissors on the Rock and from the SWAP booth at the Port Stanley Schoolhouse Holiday Craft Sale Dec. 13.
