Every Friday night, the children of Orcas Island have a treat in store for them.
I want to share with you my very positive experience working with Rick Hughes for the past five years. We serve together on the Orcas Island Farmer’s Market board. Most of the board is made up of farmers and crafters who vend at the market. Rick is the exception.
I don’t usually write letters to the editor nor do I take a public position on candidates for office. But I am making an exception for Lovel Pratt because I have worked with her for many years in a broad variety of venues and never failed to be impressed with her thoroughness, community commitment and willingness to just do the work.
I am writing in support of the Lopez School Construction Bond proposal that will be on the ballot in April. This bond will cover a campus-wide renovation of both the elementary and high school.
I urge you to vote for the campus wide renovation Bond on the April ballot.
After 18 years of dedicated service to OPALCO members, Ginny Reagles has decided to retire. Since 1995, Ginny has been the recognizable “voice of OPALCO” and a familiar face to many members in her role as a Member Services Representative in the Eastsound office.
Congratulations to Lisa Byers, Lovell Pratt and Bob Jarman for their recent primary victories. I look forward to seeing each of you over the next few months on the campaign trail.
It has come to my attention that emails containing a video of me are circulating. The video was first posted on a blog, then emailed from one real estate agent to another on San Juan. The video is a five-minute excerpt of a speech I gave in June 2012. The excerpt is at http://vimeo.com/47054431, and the panel discussion is at: http://vimeo.com/47054429).
At a special board meeting on Feb.13, the Lopez Island School Board voted unanimously to place a bond measure for a major school renovation project on the April 23 ballot for voter consideration.
Congratulations to Lisa Byers, Lovell Pratt and Bob Jarman for their recent primary victories.
First I want to congratulate Rick Hughes, Bob Jarman, Lovel Pratt and Lisa Byers for their strong showing, clearing the primary and going on to the general election. Second is that I want to thank my team, and the voters that put their trust in me with their vote. And to my contributors, I thank you for the assistance and confidence. I cannot thank you all enough.
I have worked with Greg Ayers for many years, both at the Orcas Grange and helping he and Pat build their home. He is very creative and hard working, functioning well using his organizational skills to help our diverse collection of actors, building sets and working back-stage.
In 2005, a handful of Orcas Firefighters responded to a request by Bureau of Land Management to burn/demolish an old dilapidated building. This event created the Patos Fire Department. Since that day, an amazing collection of volunteers, annually trek to the island to do campground maintenance, trail clearing and savannah restoration of the fields around the lighthouse.
