Lopez Senior Project strengthens Awareness By Migael Scherer Special to the Weekly

Miriam Drahn wasn’t satisfied with the minimum requirements of her graduation project. “I wanted to go beyond a 12-page report on the subject of sexual assault,” she says. Using painting, photography, powerful language and the help of fellow students, she launched an awareness

campaign for the month of April – Sexual Assault Awareness Month – that she hopes will change hearts and lives. Drahn knew she needed eye-grabbing posters. She began with “I Use My Strength,” a phrase she encountered in her research, designing and painting 2-foot by 3-foot signs using her own state-

April 26th 2014 is National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Lopez Island Prevention Coalition reminds everyone to

MIND YOUR MEDS and dispose of any expired, unused or unwanted medicines in the drop box located by the sheriff’s ofﬁce behind Lopez ﬁre station

ments. “I Use My Strength to Stand Against Rape” reads one against a swirl of color. Others include “I Use My Strength to Love, not to Hurt” and “I Use My Strength to Stand Up for Myself.” She then posed and photographed classmates holding the signs. The results are compelling: poster-sized photos of Lopez kids looking directly at the viewer, positive and powerful. Familiar faces, many of them athletes, challenging the rest of us to follow their lead. Each poster stops you and stays with you. Creating the posters was an awareness campaign in itself. Drahn made sure the students in the photos believed in the message, and were committed to respecting women, stepping up if they saw harm being done, and speaking up for themselves. She explained to them the long-lasting impact of sexual violence and the silence that surrounds it.

Lopez students, Chase Schober #22 and Vinny Kramer #40, hold a sign that reads “I Use My Strength to Love Not to Hurt.” “We’re kind of sheltered on Lopez,” Drahn says. “We’re blind to the reality and commonality of sexual assault. It becomes a problem when we grow up here and then enter the real world with this false sense of security the Lopez bubble can create.” Sexual assault is an under-repor ted crime, especially when perpetrated by someone known to the victim, as is most common in small communities. The trauma – with nightmares, flashbacks, depression – is longlasting. And it’s easy to buy into the myth that a woman is partly to blame if she’s been drinking, or that it’s okay for men to be aggressive on dates. What Drahn learned in

her research about the use of women’s images in advertising appalled her. “Women and girls need to be empowered and need

to empower themselves if society’s views are going to change.” In addition to posters throughout the school, Drahn is handing out “I Use My Strength” wristbands and talking with students. She has arranged for Kim Bryan, assistant director of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Ser vices of the San Juan Islands, along with DVSAS’s new Lopez advocate Kristina Moen, to speak to Lopez High School students in May. Before graduation she’ll also present her paper to the public. Miriam Drahn, and the 45-plus students who were involved in her poster project, intend to leave a legacy of strength for the Lopez community.

Poets to read from just-published chapbook Contributed photo / Brooks

Clockwise from lower left: Ande Finley, Kim Norton, Linda Barton, Janet Yang, Molly Swan-Sheeran, Elizabeth Landrum.

By Lorna Reese Special to the Weekly

While there has been a “Poets Only” writing group on Lopez Island since 2003, the idea for a chapbook emerged out of a meeting of seven poets in the summer of 2013. When Linda Barton shared her poem, “If only…,” she remarked it was “not a poem to save the world.” This single comment led to a discussion of how the simple act of making bread pudding late in the night could take one to a deeper recognition of connection, communication and asking for what one needs. Then to how any poem could be seen as a way to save the world. The seed planted, the group decided to collaborate on a chapbook, with three poems from each poet, modestly titled “How to Save the World.” Six of these poets -Linda Barton, Ande Finley, Elizabeth Landrum, Kim Norton, Molly Swan Sheeran

and Janet Yang -- will read from their newly-published chapbook on Friday, April 25, at 7 p.m. at the Lopez Library. The book is dedicated to the seventh member, the late John Sangster who was a well-loved Lopez poet, musician and friend. Born in 1937, John died last November. “John’s death seemed to galvanize the making of this book,” said poet Janet Yang. “It suddenly became even more important, I think, to all of us. The project was well underway when we learned he had died, and working on the book became a way to tie him more firmly to us, a way to not lose him quite so suddenly.” Yang loves to make things, including poems. And pictures. And books. And more. “It was unthinkable to do anything else,” says Ande Finley. “We miss John’s energy and his inspiring presence so much.” Finley is thrilled to see her long-held dream

of writing manifesting in her Lopez forest home after filing away her literary life until all her kids left home. Molly Swan-Sheeran, one of three founders of the poets only group along with Sangster, has written poetry for 50 years, and has been a metalsmith for 33. “John was one of our early members,” she notes. “He would love that we published the book.” Elizabeth Landrum served with John for two years as poetry co-editors for SHARK REEF, an online literary magazine published from Lopez for 14 years. “For me,” she says, “poetry is a channel for introspection and observation, as well as for healing. I’m inspired by the beauty of Lopez, the inner world of dreams, poignant stories and other poets.” Linda Barton loves words and the endless-ness of them. “Poetry came to me late in life which is fortunate because I could grow into it. It represents the perfect blend of brevity, humor and truth. I find it allows a focus no other medium can.” Kim Norton, the sixth poet, is currently grandma, gardner, walker, poet, and teacher of teachers. Landrum, Finley and Swan-Sheeran have all

been published in SHARK REEF Literary Magazine (sharkreef.org) which is sponsoring the event in concert with the Lopez Library to commemorate National Poetry Month. This has become an annual event at the library over the years. “How to Save the World” will be for sale at the reading and is available at the Lopez Bookshop.

All on one level.

Edwards, she is presenting a benefit for an orphanage and senior home in Tijuana, Mexico on Saturday, May 3, 7 p.m. at the Community Church. The sisters will sing songs from the 40’s - the 60’s, opera arias, spirituals and religious selections. In addition to playing the piano accompaniment to Edith’s songs, Rebecca will perform two solo piano pieces. About the orphanage and senior home The City of Angels orphanage has ser ved children from newborns through to their early 20s. There are 42 children in the orphanage at the present time; however, they serve 50 to 60 children per year. Some of the children are deserted by parents; others come from families so poor they cannot afford to feed or educate their children. Most of the children fall between the ages of 3 and 15 years of age.

The orphanage is not supported by the government and is always in need of support in order to provide for all the needs of these children – from housing costs such as electricity, water, etc. through food, clothing and supplies. Right now they are particularly in need of a van and of washers and dryers. The orphanage does have a sponsorship program where we can select and sponsor a particular child. Refugio Old Folks’ Home serves 80 to 100 senior citizens who have no home or family. Many Lopezians have visited these two sites, going down to remodel buildings, build new sections, etc. through the auspices of Lopez Island Community Church. The teams take adults and children from Lopez who spend several days in Tijuana working hard to assist these two worthwhile projects.

About the performers Edith has performed as soloist at many special events and church services throughout the years. She has also sung in choirs and small vocal groups. Edith currently resides on Lopez Island where she runs a small rescue farm for unwanted animals. Becky earned her doctorate in musicology from Princeton University and is currently a Professor at Saint Martin’s University in Lacey, Wash. Becky has an extensive background in both accompaniment and solo performance. She accompanied an opera singer doing concerts throughout Italy. Becky is the author of numerous articles in musicological journals including the prestigious American Institute of Musicology’s Musica Disciplina. “It’s a lot of work but its a lot of fun,” said Edith. “We’ve making music for years.”

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the sellerâ€™s and buyerâ€™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 sellerâ€™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.

Planting the promise

Last October marked the first year of the planting of red tulips by members of The D.R.E.A.M. Team (Dr ug Related Education and Awareness Mentors) and Young Ambassadors of Lopez during Red Ribbon Week as a representation of their commitment to live a drug free life. Spring has brought a reminder of that promise as their tulips bloom red in prominent places and yards throughout the community. “April is Alcohol Awareness Month,” says The D.R.E.A.M. Team advi-

The LCCA is starting construction on an unheated storage building behind Lopez Center this week. The project will replace the conex containers that have provided storage for many years, but are now in need of replacement. The building is being constructed by Alvord Richardson, with Green Earth Landscapes doing the site preparations and Donnie Poole paving a walkway between the new building and the Center.

sor Della McCullough, “And is great month for these tulips to bloom. The kids work hard to get their prevention message out and they rely on the adults to help them draw the line not only between alcohol and youth, but between drugs as well.” Students from Lopez School D.R.E.A.M. Team and Lopez Island Prevention Coalition’s Young Ambassadors plan to sell tulips blubs again in the fall for those who missed to opportunity to participate. “Plant the Promise is such a wonderful symbol
