South End prepares for Independence Day, big booms Freeland

man, 28, drowns in Anacortes

By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter More fireworks stands than ever are on South Whidbey this year with three in Clinton alone. Coming off the ferry, there’s one near All Island Express Taxi. Further up Highway 525, a tent is on the lawn of Dalton Realty. Then there’s the old mainstay at Ken’s Korner, the TNT fireworks stand run by South Whidbey Kiwanis. Another stand is at the Payless Foods parking lot in Freeland. All of these are designed to part people with their cash in exchange for a flash, a sparkle or a bang. Fireworks are a time-honored tradition for Independence Day on July 4 and the less-explosive New Year’s Eve. Lighting fireworks is far from a universally approved activity, though it is legal in Island County on certain dates. Animal supporters caution against fireworks because the noise and light can startle and disrupt pets and livestock. “It’s horrendous,” said Judy Dewing, who works at WAIF’s Freeland Cat Cottage, near the area’s annual Celebrate America festival and fireworks show.

Cement truck overturns, breaks power pole in Clinton By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter

Mike Cotton, deputy chief of South Whidbey Fire/EMS, a Puget Sound Energy electrician and a Washington State Patrol trooper inspect a cement truck that rolled over off Humphrey Road in Clinton on Wednesday morning.

A 40,000-pound cement truck rolled off a Clinton driveway and onto its back Wednesday morning. The incident forced the closure of a stretch of Humphrey Road just south of Tiffany Drive and the Cascade View neighborhood and shut off power to area homes. No one was injured, including the driver, who was outside the vehicle when it rolled over. The truck’s engine was off and its reverse indicator steadily beeped, its wheels belly up. “The vehicle was unoccupied when it rolled over, thankfully,” said Deputy Chief Mike Cotton with South Whidbey Fire/EMS. First responders with South Whidbey Fire/EMS and Island

County Sheriff’s Office said the driver, who had a valid Washington commercial driver’s license, was backing into the driveway to turn around. He stepped out of the cabin to check on the truck’s position when the passenger side wheels gave way to the soft earth next to the hard gravel driveway. The weight of the truck made it slide and flip, leaving a massive divot in the ground and fracturing a power pole at about 9:40 a.m. About a square foot of cement spilled out of the drum and onto the bramble and ground. The full load of cement in the loader made for a challenging tow. Simmons Towing owner Gary Peterson, whose shop is just north on Humphrey Road and Highway SEE CEMENT, A9

The body of a Freeland man was recovered from the bottom of an Anacortes lake Wednesday. Cause of death for Jacob Whitaker, 28, is believed to be accidental drowning, but police said they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. Anacortes Police Chief Bonnie Bowers said a woman who was with Whitaker when he drowned didn’t report it to police, but drove to Oak Harbor and told another woman who alerted authorities. Anacortes police said they don’t believe foul play is involved, but added they suspect Whitaker may have been under the influence of drugs at the time. “It appears that he drowned while trying to swim across the lake,” Bowers said. Whitaker was at Whistle Lake with a friend, Kaitlynn Raavel, 19, of Oak Harbor, on Tuesday, according to Bowers. Raavel told police she left Whitaker while he was swimming in the lake to walk her dog. She couldn’t find him when she returned but his clothing was still there. “She said she didn’t see him go under,” Bowers said. Raavel searched and yelled for Whitaker. She left and returned to continue searching for him. She reportedly asked others at the lake if they had seen him, but didn’t ask for help, according to Bowers. Raavel eventually drove to Oak Harbor and told a friend about what happened. It was the friend who called 9-1-1 at about 10:30 p.m. Bowers said an officer spoke to the “third-party SEE DROWNS, A9

Moccia gets three more years as South End superintendent By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Jo Moccia has three more years to move South Whidbey students toward graduation. That means three more years pursuing the school district’s goal of having 100 percent of graduates “career and college ready.” Superintendent Moccia’s new contract is for three years and officially begins July 1 and ends June 30, 2016. The superintendent’s contract includes a $132,500 annual salary. She was originally hired in 2011 on an annual contract of $130,000, which was raised by her second year with the district. School board members voted unanimously to approve Moccia’s contract at the board meeting June 26. “We’re very pleased at the way she has worked to consolidate our buildings,” said Steve Scoles, the school board chairman. “As an alternative to closing the entire middle school, we closed Bayview School, closed the district office, closed the twostory and auditorium. All four of them have rent-paying ten-

Jo Moccia ants in them that is bringing in a nice cash flow to the district.” Despite South Whidbey’s consistent enrollment decline over the past decade, the schools saw a bit of a stabilization. About 50 more students than expected enrolled in the district last school year. In Moccia’s second year with the district, she relocated the alternative high school to the primary campus on Maxwelton Road, where it was reconfigured to a K-12 alternative school. The district office also moved from Camano Avenue near the middle school to the transportation and maintenance facility on Maxwelton Road.

South Whidbey schools, however, also saw the departure of longtime elementary school principal Jamie Boyd, the elimination of the transportation and maintenance director’s position, which was split into a maintenance director, and the transportation duties given to Dan Poolman. Having created a smaller “footprint” with fewer districtoccupied buildings, Scoles said the superintendent and assistant superintendent Poolman were major assets to South Whidbey. Poolman also will not receive a salary increase this school year. “We back her up 100 percent on what she’s done on bringing in new people and changes,” Scoles said. “For the first time in maybe 10 or 12 years, we actually had student numbers increasing during the year.” One of the ways South Whidbey school leaders hope to brand the district is as an arts haven. The district recently leased the twostory building on the Langley Middle School campus to Island Dance and leased the campus auditorium to Whidbey Children’s Theater.

2,700. When Moccia accepted the position, she was superintendent of Averill Park Central School District in New York, where she earned a $145,600 salary, plus benefits. Scoles lamented the district’s inability to raise Moccia’s contract more amid uncertain state funding. The district also is negotiating with the South Whidbey teachers’ union, and one of the sticking points is salary raises. “If we’re not getting money from the state, we can’t produce more money out of thin air,” Scoles said. Beyond the salary, Moccia may take 29 days of paid vaca-

Moccia stated in earlier school board meetings the district plans to expand its arts program, including the touted school bands. “The work we have been doing in the district over the past two years has set the stage for the continued growth of the district,” Moccia wrote in an email. “We remain committed to our goal that by 2020, 100 percent of our students will graduate career and college ready. This means that we have adopted the common core state standards in earnest and are committed to the teacher and principal evaluation process. We are doing this work despite not knowing our funding but with the clear understanding that these mandates, though certainly designed to improve education, are unfunded mandates.” Districts with similar superintendent contracts include Lake Chelan, Blaine, Chehalis and Anacortes. Blaine has a district-wide enrollment of more than 2,200 students; Chehalis has 3,000; and Anacortes has

tion, with a maximum of 30 if she remains in office another year. One of the stipulations, however, is that the superintendent’s vacation must be taken at “reasonable times and the Board Chair shall be notified.” No more than 20 unused vacation days can carry over from year to year. The superintendent also gets three personal days. The school board is required to evaluate the superintendent no later than June 30 of each contract year. Extending the superintendent’s contract, Scoles said, is “standard practice” in Washington if the board is pleased with the school chief’s performance.

COUPEVILLE Driver may have fallen asleep A Coupeville couple were involved in a rollover accident on Highway 525 last weekend. According to Sgt. Bruce Maier with the Washington State Patrol, the accident occurred Saturday at about 7:30 p.m. just south of Donahey Road on Central Whidbey. Victoria and Ricardo Reyes were northbound on Highway 525 in a 2003 GMC Envoy when the vehicle veered off the roadway and struck a mailbox. The car changed direction toward the center of the highway before spinning around and hitting the embankment, Maier said. “She apparently fell asleep,” he said. The vehicle came to rest on its roof. Emergency responders with Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue were on scene and assisted the couple. Both were transported to Whidbey General Hospital for minor injuries. According to Maier, Victoria Reyes was cited for “driving with wheels off the roadway.” No other vehicles were involved in the crash, he said. Both lanes of Highway 525 were closed for a few minutes before firefighters could open one lane of traffic.

Editorial

Parks: Be wary of the fairways The South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District should not operate a public golf course. The Holmes Harbor Sewer District owns the closed golf course that homeowners need for disposing of their treated waste water. Whether golfing is taking place or not, it will cost the sewer district approximately $70,000 annually to maintain the 50-acres, keeping it mowed and the water dispersal system in shape. It’s no wonder they would like someone else to take over the expense. One sticking point is that the old clubhouse and maintenance shop are still owned by a private party, which did not sell the buildings along with the acreage. They too would benefit from a functioning golf course, either through leasing the structures or taking advantage of the crowds to reopen the restaurant. Unfortunately, this revenue stream is lost to the parks district. The parks district may be able to run the golf course on a break even basis, but the long history of golf course failures at Holmes Harbor suggests otherwise. It would almost certainly be a losing proposition. The parks directors recently discussed a 9 cent per thousand assessment, which would require a vote of the people. That won’t fly and isn’t worth the cost of putting it on the ballot. South Whidbey indeed is home to many golfers. Those with money can join Useless Bay Golf and Country Club, those without can enjoy the par 3 Island Greens, the public Gallery Golf Course on North Whidbey or numerous courses on the mainland. They don’t need a public subsidy to play golf on Whidbey Island. The South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District has a splendid history of building facilities for the use of children and the public at large. Everyone wants kids to have decent ballfields and playgrounds, and anyone can enjoy the grounds for picnics, Frisbee tossing, hiking, jogging or just relaxing. The facilities are for everyone, not just those who pursue a particular hobby. The district changed its focus a bit by taking on managing public boat launches at three lakes, but these too benefit many islanders who enjoy boating, swimming or just being near fresh water. This latest proposal for a parks district project is too focused toward a single user group. It’s simply not worth pursuing and risking the public’s money and the public’s trust.

According to Broombusters.org, a community activism group, if the plant is cut at ground level now before it goes to seed, it will most likely die. People do not have to dig out roots and it is best not to disturb the soil around the base of the plant, except to cut off plants at ground level. During the hot, dry summer months, most of the larger plants will die at the roots without producing hundreds of thousands of bean seeds. Smaller plants can often be pulled up roots and all. Next year, some of the cut stumps may have resprouted and will need to be cut again, but we will have a more manageable problem on our hands. Get permission as needed, wear gloves, don’t leave a mess of dying bushes, be careful around traffic, cut at ground level, watch out for bees. See you in the ditch. CHRISTINA BALDWIN Freeland

Shop the farm on Sundays

Shoppers will enjoy perusing a selection of handmade crafts and vintage items when they shop Sundays at Greenbank Farm. Farm leaders recently added a flea market that takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Sunday through September. “We were looking for ways to invigorate the market,” Greenbank Farm Manager Judy Feldman said. The flea market has a handful of vendors who sell things such as sculptures out of driftwood, cedar furniture, fishing equipment, fish pavers and an antique Wonder Pony. Feldman said sellers wishing to participate in the flea market don’t have to pay a booth fee; however, they will have to pay a 10 percent fee if they sell anything. Last year, the farm organized a local craft market before switching to the flea market this year.

Berries with the Beatles rings the bell WHIDBEY RECIPES

Margaret Walton

This morning, about an hour ago, I sat in our “TV-office-all purpose” room, a bowl of freshly hulled, perfectly ripe Bell’s Farm strawberries, topped with a small dollop of Greek yogurt, in my lap, and listening to the Beatles’ “Abbey Road” on our nearby ancient phonograph. I had, then, one of those flashback moments, when I suddenly remembered doing exactly the same thing when husband John and I returned from a strawberry picking trip up the island to Bell’s to pick berries, only a few summers ago. He put on his favorite old Beatles album while I got some of the berries ready to eat, right then. They smelled of earth and summertime, and we couldn’t wait to enjoy some immediately. “I’d like to be under the sea in an octopus’s garden,

in the shade,” with a side helping of freshly picked, ripe strawberries. Sweet. That’s the sort of thing strawberries can do to you; I’d be willing to bet most of you have a strawberry memory or two. Yes, they have many other benefits, such as calcium, potassium, vitamins A and C, some phosphorus and iron and, best of all they’re low in calories and have virtually no fat, trans or otherwise. Their primary drawback, of course, is that they are too short-lived. Not only should they be eaten as soon after picking as possible, for maximum pleasure, but their presence at the various outdoor as well as indoor markets will be a matter of just a few short weeks. Fortunately, they’ll quickly be followed by raspberries and blackberries, but these first strawberries are the summum bonum. Every summer, I capture as much of the strawberry essence I possibly can by making strawberry jam to tide us over the wintertime, jam that carries its own set of memories. Our granddaughters have been going home from summertime visits with jars of strawberry jam since they were very small, and still do.

their dogs, cats and rabbits. So, I’ll be making jam again in the next week or so. I finished off my bowl of strawberries this morning to the strains of “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” along with a huge helping of both Beatles and berries memories.

RECIPES After you’ve eaten as many as you can, fresh, a quick and easy way to capture that fresh strawberry flavor for continued enjoyment is with a sorbet, such as this one. You can make this in an ice cream maker or simply freeze it in a shallow 13x9 metal or glass baking pan.

STRAWBERRY SORBET 2 cups water 1 cup sugar 1 quart fresh strawberries hulled 1/3 cup fresh orange juice 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (Meyer lemon, if you can get it) Stir water and sugar in a heavy saucepan over high heat until sugar dissolves. Boil for 5 min., remove from heat. Working in batches, puree strawberries in a food processor until smooth. Add the puree and both juices to the sugar syrup, stirring to blend. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hrs. Process the strawberry

mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions, or spread mixture in a shallow container and freeze, stirring every hour, until set, about 6 hrs. Transfer to containers, cover and freeze until ready to serve. If the sorbet is frozen solid, put in refrigerator 15 min. to soften before serving. Makes 6 servings. Another easy dessert that may just take you back to earlier days; remember rice pudding? Try this version with fresh strawberry sauce and chances are it’ll become a summertime favorite.

STRAWBERRY RISOTTO 3 cups milk 1 2/3 cup water ¾ cup Arborio rice ½ cup sugar, divided (see instructions) Salt 1 cinnamon stick ½ pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced 1 T. butter In a large skillet over high heat, combine milk with water and bring to a boil. When liquid boils, add the rice, ¼ cup of the sugar, a pinch of salt and the cinnamon stick. Reduce heat to med.-low and gently simmer, uncovered, until the pudding is thick and rice is tender, stirring frequently, about 45 min. In another skillet, sauté

the strawberries in the butter with remaining ¼ cup sugar over med. heat. Remove the cinnamon stick from the rice and spoon the pudding into individual serving bowls or plates. Garnish with strawberry sauce and let cool before serving, or refrigerate to serve when ready. And, of course, as long as there are strawberries in June, there shall also be some form of strawberry rhubarb dessert, right?

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRUMBLE 4 cups sliced fresh rhubarb 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved ½ cup plus 1/3 cup sugar (see instructions) 1 ½ T. cornstarch 1 T. fresh lemon juice 6 T. unsalted butter, room temp. 1/3 cup packed almond paste 1 cup flour In a large bowl, mix together rhubarb, strawberries, ½ cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice, tossing well to coat. Divide mixture evenly among six 1 ¼ cup custard cups. Mix butter, almond paste and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in processor until well blended. Transfer to a med. bowl and add flour. Using fingertips, work the flour into the butter mixture until moist clumps form. Sprinkle over the rhubarb/strawberry mixture, dividing equally. Place custard cups on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven until filling bubbles and topping is golden, about 30 min. Serve hot, with or without a small dollop of ice cream or whipped cream.

All-Stars hope for new start at district tournament By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Making an early exit at the 2012 District 11 Little League tournament was a major disappointment for South Whidbey’s All-Stars. For some of them, like 12-yearold Jon Bartel, it was an especially tough loss on the heels of playing in the 2010 state tournament in the 9/10 division. “I’m excited,” he said, almost two weeks out from the district playoffs in Sedro-Woolley that begin July 1. This year’s squad is on the younger end of its age bracket. Only four of the 11 players are considered 12 years old, based on their birthdate in relation to the start of the league season. The rest are 11 years old. That doesn’t bother head coach Eddie Sergeant, who trusts the players’ hitting and deep pitching rotation of eight hurlers. “We should have a pretty good team,” Sergeant said. “Everybody hits the ball pretty hard.” Jon, who plays catcher, pitcher,

shortstop and third base, added that the team’s chemistry is a bonus, especially in the infield. During a recent practice, he played shortstop and was on in the infield with fellow regular season Cubs teammates Casey Justus and Blaine Le Roy. “We’re pretty good in the infield,” Bartel said. “We stay in front of the ball.” South Whidbey is fortunate to have a luck-of-the-draw bye in the first round. The All-Stars will face either Central Whidbey of South Skagit on July 2. To qualify for the state tournament, South Whidbey must win three games in a row, including a game on Independence Day. The state tournament is in Vancouver and begins July 13. South Whidbey’s 11/12 AllStars are: Jon Bartel, Kody Newman, Blaine Le Roy, Gabe Wilson, Jordan Ford, Elisha Sergeant, Nick Young, Carson Filla, Casey Justus, Dexter Jokinen, Alex Black.

Whidbey employment numbers fail to show much improvement By JANIS REID Staff reporter Even while unemployment numbers are falling state and country wide, Whidbey Island residents continue their struggle to find jobs and keep them. There are a couple of reasons for this, according to Christina LeClaire, an employment specialist with the state Division of

Vocational Rehabilitation. LeClaire said while new jobs are created, most are lower paying, making it difficult for skilled or higher-level employees to find and keep work. “It has more to do with the job market right now,” LeClaire said. “A lot of people are taking jobs that are below them.” LeClaire said that when people take jobs for which

they are over-qualified, they are unhappy and are likely to quit, leading to a lower job retention rate. In addition, islanders face the added geographic challenge of finding work on the island. “It is far more difficult on the island (to find work),” she said. “We just don’t have the industries.” “Everyone is saying that the job market is up but I have a hard time seeing it until I see a full one-year cycle,” LeClaire said. Annaliese Vance-Sherman,

a regional labor specialist with the state Employment Security Department, agreed that Island County’s labor market has been in a holding pattern since falling into the recession. However, she said, “there have been some signs of a growing or at least stabilizing economy.” Since last year, Island County saw an increase in manufacturing jobs, but a loss in information and financial services jobs, and retail trade jobs. Unemployment rate for

Our Community Continues to Grow!

Island County fell to 7.4 percent in April. But this time last year, the unemployment rate was 8.1 percent. The unemployment rate has been falling slowly, but steadily, since reaching a peak level of 10.9 percent in February 2010, Vance-Sherman said. “There are a number of challenges in the current job market,” Vance Sherman said. “The slow recovery has been reflected in longer periods of unemployment and a weakening labor market, as workers take themselves out of the competitive market, and employers are being cautious and cost conscious in their hiring decisions.” Still, LeClaire said there are some things Islanders can do to increase their chances

of finding a job appropriate to their skill set. First, make sure their resume is catered to the job being applied for and make sure skills are highlighted. Second, prepare for each telephone and in-person interview, making sure to sound and appear professional. Third, because there are fewer applicants to more complex positions, don’t be intimidated by job listings that are detailed and specific, she said. Lastly, if you do find yourself in a job that you are overqualified for, try to make the best of it, she said. This can include personalizing your space, making sure you are on time, ready to work and be team player.

New Coupeville store bags early customers By MEGAN HANSEN Staff reporter Kimberly Hoctor made three sales before she even opened her Coupeville store June 15. Women saw handbags in a window display and walked right in, excitedly ignoring the signs informing customers of her opening date. Hoctor, who’s new to Whidbey Island, opened a storefront for her Handbag Consignment Shop, which was exclusively online until now. Hoctor’s store is located on Front Street and is open 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. everyday. “People were just so curious,” she said. The Washington native has been operating her online consignment shop — aimed specifically at designer handbags — for almost two years. She started the business while living in Maryland with her husband, who was in the military at the time. Having just returned to her home state, Hoctor said she knew she wanted to open a storefront as soon as she moved to the island. “As soon as I got here, I hit the ground running,” Hoctor said. She continues to operate the online portion of her business and has consignors from all over the country. But she is looking for local consignors. Hoctor said she started the business

The business venture is also a way to satisfy her love of designer handbags. “I’ve always loved handbags,” she said.

Her closet is full of handbags and shoes. Her ultimate designer label — Chanel. “My sister would always want to ‘shop’ in my closet,” Hoctor said. When she set out on the business venture, she said she really wanted to be a

niche consignment shop. “I want to be accessible locally and nationwide,” she said. Hoctor specialized in brand-name-only designer handbags. She says she avoids knockoffs entirely due to issues such as child labor. She carries bags from all different designers from popular names such as Prada, Gucci and Coach to smaller designers. “There’s something here for everyone,” she said. Merchandise cost ranges from $25 to $1,000. Hoctor also plans to hold classes to help designer handbag owners properly care for their treasures. Tips include vacuuming out bags, what cleaners to use and keeping them stuffed so they don’t crease. She also wants to utilize a courtyard behind her shop for VIP events and other specialty events. She said she also hopes to expand her shop into designer shoes and is also targeting celebrities to consign with her. Hoctor said she hopes to promote business from the Seattle area into Coupeville, bringing customers to the seaside town. “I really want to grow and be an integral part of the community,” she said.

Whidbey hears Bigfoot mysteries By CELESTE ERICKSON Staff reporter

Researcher and crew member of Animal Planet’s TV show “Finding Bigfoot,” Tyler Bounds, visited libraries across Whidbey Island this month to discuss his findings on one of the region’s biggest mysteries — Bigfoot. More than 20 people gathered at the Langley Library on June 18 to listen to Bounds. Some audience members discussed their own encounters with the so-far mythical big ape, better known in the Northwest as Sasquatch.

“We have a saying: There isn’t a Bigfoot behind every tree, but there is one behind every other tree,” he said. Bounds has always been interested in mysteries and the unknown. In his lifetime he said he had multiple encounters with Bigfoot including sightings and hearing their unique howls. He played a recording of a howl for the audience at the Langley Library. No one is an expert on Bigfoot, but he’s one of the people with the most complete picture, he said.

Bounds said he has received several reports from Whidbey Island and in Washington he estimates there may be around 100 such encounters. He said of the reports he receives, many of them could be the same Bigfoot sighting. Bounds said studies estimate 10,000 Bigfoot creatures may exist in North America, but he doesn’t believe there are that many. When multiple people report sightings in the same area that don’t know each other, he says it reinforces the belief that Bigfoot is there.

ummer is here and like most pet owners, you’ll probably want to enjoy the nice weather by taking your dog for the occasional walk. But before you go too far, remember that animals can be affected by the heat, too. Heat stroke can be particularly dangerous for animals, so always keep an eye open for warning signs: heavy breathing, fur that is hot to the touch, twitching muscles, and acting confused. If your pet demonstrates any of these symptoms, immediately wrap

it in a damp towel that is cool, but not cold. For more severe cases, place the animal in a tub filled with cool water. Keep in mind that heatstroke can sometimes be fatal, so consult your veterinarian if your animal does not soon return to its normal self. You can also prevent your animal from suffering heat stroke by never leaving it in a parked car, even if you park in the shade and leave

Above all, make sure your furry friend has easy access to lots of cool fresh water. Dogs are only able to rid their body of excess heat through their breath and through the sweat glands located on their paws. They will also love you if you give them a cool, shaded place to rest when the sun is too hot to bear.

Christian Science, as it was discovered The 10:30 a.m. Sunday, June 30, service at the Christian Science church will be on the topic of Christian Science as discovered and written about by Mary Baker Eddy: “Christianity as Jesus taught it was not a creed, nor a system of ceremonies, nor a special gift from a ritualistic Jehovah; but it was the demonstration of divine love, casting out error and healing the sick ... Christian Science and Christianity are one” (Science and Health). Everyone is welcome at this service at 15910 Highway 525, just north of Bayview and across from Useless Bay Road.

WHIDBEY BIRDING Frances Wood Recently a five-year-old friend asked me, “What’s the biggest bird?” and I was reminded of our fascination with the biggest. To him biggest equated to best. Since I’m often asked this question, I had a ready answer: the bald eagle. But what about, say, the five biggest birds that are commonly seen on Whidbey Island? Care to take a guess? I quizzed my husband, a fairly experienced birder, and off the top of his head, he suggested (in this order) 1) Bald eagle 2) Great blue heron 3) Redtailed hawk 4) Turkey vulture 5) Great-horned owl. Figuring out the biggest common birds isn’t all that easy. Do we gauge by length or weight? Do we factor in wingspan? Since all birds are designed to be very lightweight, I wondered if there would be much difference between, for example, the bald eagle and the red-tailed hawk.

What about a long skinny bird like the great blue heron? Birds are measured from the top of their head to the bottom of their toes. If we only considered a bird’s length, the heron would be the biggest at, on average, nearly 50 inches. Whereas the bald eagle only stretches to 39 inches. Clearly we can’t award the biggest bird prize to the long gangling heron. Wingspan also doesn’t seem the best yardstick of the biggest birds. The length of the wings is determined by long-distance flight needs, mainly migration. Swallows and terns have some of the longest wings, in comparison to body length, for just that reason. The bald eagle and the great blue heron are neck-and-neck in regard to wingspan, with the eagle having a slight edge. So, that leaves weight as our determiner of biggest bird. In this category the bald eagle clearly wins at 10.5 pounds. Second prize goes to a sleeper, the common loon, which weighs in at a little over nine pounds. And third prize to the Canada goose — gads, how could we forget that eight-pound mother? Then we drop down to five and one-half pounds and find the great blue heron, followed by the double-crested cormorant at four pounds. Continuing on down the list there is a close tie between the turkey vulture and osprey at three and one-quarter pounds.

turkeys and also the American white pelican clearly outweigh the bald eagle, some of us have a hard time accepting any of them as the biggest bird. Perhaps our claim of “biggest” also needs to include something majestic, something to make the bird the best, not just the heaviest. That would explain why we tend to put the redtailed hawk so high on the list. I’m sure my five-yearold friend wanted the bald eagle to win and I’ll have to admit that I did, too. The regal eagle perched atop a tall spire, a bird that fought off endangered species status and rebounded to a large healthy population, certainly deserves the prize.

What happened to the red-tailed hawk? Several additional birds, including the great-horned owl and common raven, surpassed it. Many birds and especially eagles, hawks, owls have significant sexual dimorphism, meaning one sex is larger than the other. For example, the female bald eagle can be 20 to 30 percent larger than the male. So technically I should have told my young friend that the female bald eagle is the largest common bird. What if we widen our criteria to include some less common birds? Take those wild turkeys often seen on Bayview Road. They outweigh the bald eagle by over six pounds. Every winter trumpeter swans visit Whidbey. At 25 pounds they beat out the bald eagle by two and onehalf times. Even though the swans,

County sets meetings to test law and justice tax By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Led by Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, the meetings were recently green-lighted by the board of commissioners following a presentation from members of the Law and Justice Council. The council adopted a resolution last month that urged the board to move forward with a $2.6 million property tax hike. Due to filing deadlines, the measure can now only be run in the November election. The council’s resolution was presented to the board as a group for the first time earlier this month. None of the commissioners pledged

The public will get its first chance to weigh in on a prospective $2.6 million law and justice levy at a series of community meetings to be held on Whidbey and Camano islands over the next couple of weeks. The first meeting was held Thursday in Oak Harbor. The next will be at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 9, at the Camano Senior Community Center, 606 Arrowhead Road; followed by 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 18341 Highway 525, Freeland.

that her support may require a tax break somewhere else. “At a time when this is such a rough economy, I felt that if we are going to ask that of the taxpayers that we need to give something back,” Emerson said. Commissioner Jill Johnson, a member of the Law and Justice Council, said she was included in the decision to pass the resolution and bring it before the board for action. She noted, however, that she is not considering this as a permanent revenue generator for law and justice. She is hoping for enough economic recovery to occur that a

concrete support for the levy as proposed, but there was agreement to take another step and get community feedback. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she is supportive of putting a law and justice levy before voters but the details of the measure have to be finalized. Hearing from the public may help finetune the request, she said. “That’s what I’m looking for, not whether or not to put it on the ballot,” Price Johnson said. Board Chairwoman Kelly Emerson said she supported the prospect of reaching out for public input but indicated

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown addresses the county commissioners about the Law and Justice Council’s recent resolution to pursue a $2.6 million levy. The commissioners approved a series of community meetings to get public feedback on the proposal. renewal will not need to be sought by the time the suggested five-year sunset clause expires. “I’m personally not looking at this levy lid lift to be an ongoing and long-term permanent solution,” Johnson said. “My hope would be that we do it now as a stop-gap measure.” In a later interview, Sheriff Brown said he was encour-

aged by the board’s reaction to the resolution. He said he was also glad for the opportunity to hold the meetings because this is a chance for the commissioners to hear directly from the community and he believes the message will be one of support for the measure. “I think that’s what they are going to hear from the public,” Brown said.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING O n Ju l y 1 5 , 2 0 1 3 a t 10:15 a.m., the Board of County Commissioners, Island County, Washington, will hold a public hear ing at the Island County Annex Building, Basement Meeting Room, 1 Nor th East Sixth Street, Coupeville, Washington, to consider adoption of Ordinance No. C 68 13. A summar y of the proposed Ordinance follows. The proposed Ordinance would extend the expiration date of the currently existing 9/100ths (0.09) of onepercent Island County Rural County Sales or Use Tax from July 31, 2027 to July 31, 2032 in accordance with Substitute House Bill 1751 passed by the 2009 Washington State Legislature. The Rural County Sales or Use Tax does not increase the amount of overall sales and use tax paid by consumers because the 0.09 percent tax amount is a credit against the sales and use tax otherwise retained by the State of Washington. The revenue from the Rural County Sales or Use Tax is restricted to financing public facilities serving economic development purposes and financing personnel working in economic development offices.

To retain custody of the vessel, before the Custody Date, the owner must pay DNR for costs incurred to date and pick up the vessel from its storage location. To redeem the vessel once DNR has taken custody, the owner must file a written request (one original and one copy) for a hearing with the Pollution Control Hearings Board, in person at 1111 Israel Rd, Tumwater WA, or by mail to PO Box 40903, Olympia WA 98504-0903, and serve o n e c o p y o n D N R ’s Aquatic Resources Division at 1111 Washington Street SE, MS 47027, O l y m p i a W A 98504-7027.

French singer-songwriter Brel’s body of theatrically insightful ballads was already obscure. But his work influenced a spate of American musicians including artists as diverse as Leonard Cohen, David Bowie, who covered “Amsterdam,” and Frank Sinatra. Brel’s brooding, evocative songs about life, death, love and the consequences of human folly were unleashed on an unsuspecting and wide American audience. It could be said that “Jaques Brel” changed the course of Broadway theater through its popularity and the show’s deep effect on American audiences. The orchestra for the Outcast production will include Richard Hughes (guitar/mandolin), Jonathan Small (bass), Scott Small (percussion) and Sheila Weidendorf (piano/accordion). The show runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. July 19 to Aug. 3 and at 2 p.m. Sundays, July 21 and 28.
