Rates may be rising at Langley marina

A10

It’s tee time

By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Things are hard to predict on the water. From the wind to finance, sea voyage can be tricky. The same could be said of moorage rates for South Whidbey Harbor, commonly called Langley marina. Commissioners of the Port of South Whidbey said they do not know what the occupancy of its new dock space will be upon completion of a new breakwater. “We basically haven’t raised rates since we took over,” said Ed Field, the port manager. “We purposefully put off raising rates until we had something to show for it.” Only six annual moorage spots are available in Langley, which has 34 slips. They cost $7.50 per foot, per month. Turnover in the annual moorage is low, while port staff and commissioners said demand is high with a waiting list of about 100. The port district expects to bring in $230,000 in revenue from the new harbor with a 10 percent across-theboard increase in rates and fees. For transient moorage, rates would increase to $1.17 per foot, per night. Commissioners are playing a guessing game with how many boats, and perhaps more importantly, what kinds and sizes of ships will

Ferry fare hike passes By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Justin Burnett / The Record

The Muzzall family, from left: Shelly, Jessica, Jennifer, Roshel and Ron. The family recently sold a farming easement on 113 acres of property, permanently protecting it as farmland.

Muzzalls’ protect family farmland By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter A land deal between a longtime farming family and a nonprofit group has resulted in the permanent preservation of 113 acres of pristine North Whidbey farmland. The Whidbey Camano Land Trust announced Wednesday that it reached an agreement with the Muzzall family, owners of 3 Sisters Family Farms, to purchase a farming conservation easement on their property along the North side of Scenic Heights Road overlooking Penn Cove. Terms of the contract allow the family to keep farming the area, forever, but leaves the development rights under the control of the land trust. Both sides said they are pleased with the arrangement. “This is huge,” said Jennifer Muzzall-Jones, a fifth generation Muzzall family member to farm the property. The deal furnished the family with needed capital — the recession has been

tough — and provides stability for future Muzzall generations, she said. “We’re preserving farmland, which means we get to keep doing what we love,” she said. Pat Powell, executive director of the land trust, said this was the biggest property preserved to date on the North side of Penn Cove within Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. The Muzzalls’ farm is over 800 acres of property, but the 113 acres protected serves as the central hub of the family’s farming operation. The Muzzall’s business and their family’s history on Whidbey Island also made their land a good candidate for preservation, she said. “It’s one of the finest working farms on Whidbey Island and it’s a century farm,” Powell said. According to Ron Muzzall,

Jennifer’s father, the deal has been in the works for about eight years and he is relieved all the details were finally hammered out. “After working on something for so long, it’s nice to have it completed,” Ron Muzzall said. It’s also a big relief as, without development rights, the property will be easier and cheaper to pass on to his three daughters: Jennifer, Jessica and Roshel. “This allows us to transfer the land to our kids without state tax or gifting issues,” he said. Powell said the easement was sold for $920,000. Island County Conservation Future Fund contributed $400,000 and the land trust put forward $60,000 but the bulk, $460,000, came from federal and state grant funding. The land trust announced last month it had landed $2.2

million in funding from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program. Along with covering part of the Muzzall easement, the funding will go toward the purchase of another 70 acres connected to the recently acquired Trillium Community Forest, purchase and restore about 300 acres of Crockett Lake and fund restoration of native prairie at the Admiralty Inlet Natural Area Preserve on Engle Road.

The Washington State Transportation Commission has approved across-theboard fare hikes that will go into effect this fall. Beginning Oct. 1, passenger fares will increase 2 percent and vehicle fares 3 percent. The cost of a ticket will jump again May 1 when passenger fares go up another 2 percent and vehicle fares another 2.5 percent. Accor ding to Commissioner Tom Cowan, vice chairman of the commission, the changes were developed in order to meet the Legislature’s adopted $328 million budget. The rate adoption was based on recommendations from the ferries officials, members of the citizen-based Ferry Advisory Committee on tariffs and public comment, Cowan said. Reaction from riders on the Mukilteo-to-Clinton ferry route Friday morning was mixed from disappointment about the adopted structure to resignation. “It’s really too bad they hit passengers fares,” said Corlan Carlson, a Freeland

resident. A former commuter, Carlson said hiking vehicle fares makes sense because it collects from tourists but that’s not the case for passenger-only tickets. Many are daily commuters who have made arrangements for pick up on the other side. “To me, that’s hitting the people who live here non proportionately,” he said. John Crane, a retired Bayview resident, said additional expenses are never welcome but acknowledged the ferry system is a needed service that needs funding. “What are you going to do,” he said. “It’s a doubleedged sword. You need the service but you don’t want to be gouged too much.” According to Cowan, the commission had little choice in the fare increase. “Obviously, we don’t like to raise fares at all but we have to meet the Legislature’s budget,” Cowan said. He did point out that one of the changes raises the youth discount from 20 percent to 50 percent. “We’re hopeful that will have a very positive impact for families and will encourage them to use the ferries,” Cowan said.

Beck shut off the water and the furnace, which was positioned on the other side of a wall from the water heater. The home, owned by Curt Gordon, was in the process of being upgraded for energy efficiency and the technician was out for lunch. A repair to the line came loose, Beck said, causing the leak.

South Whidbey Fire/ EMS sent one of its deputy chiefs to investigate. Jon Beck found the water heater damaged and gushing water out of a three-fourths of an inch hole. “There were three teenagers at home that did an incredible job trying to manage it at the best of their abilities,” Beck said. “They had it dammed with towels.” The Clinton home sustained “significant” water

As a member of the county’s council of governments, Port President Curt Gordon wanted to pursue a consultant to evaluate the fairgrounds’ utility and organization. Commissioner Chris Jerome was involved in meetings about the fairgrounds and supported seeking rural county economic development funds to “see where their weak points and strong points are.” Commissioner Dennis Gregoire was also in favor of trying to use those funds to pay for an evaluation. The port and fair, though separate entities, have worked together in the past toward economic development projects. Port funds have been used for the Langley Main Street Association’s electric cart to move people from the marina up the hill of Wharf Street into Langley and to parking lots at Langley Middle School and the Island Church of Whidbey.

Marina work to begin next week As the planned Phase 1 expansion of South Whidbey Harbor continues, work outside the marina will ramp up as early as Aug. 8. The equipment and materials will arrive within the next week or so to position the subsurface pilings which will anchor the new dock to the sea floor, according to an

update from the harbormaster, Duncan McPhee. Work performed outside the pilling wall will happen in the daytime mid-week and should not transmit much noise. Port organizers do not expect the work to interfere with harbor operations much. As the barges and cranes mobilize, it will not be safe for recreational crabbers and other boaters to be around the marine construction operations, so the contractor will keep all boaters out of their work areas. For all boaters, keep an eye for active construction areas and temporary buoys and traffic lanes. The contractor is planning on using temporary buoys to mark areas, red for closed construction zones and green for recommended boat lanes. For crabbers, when marine construction is underway, the harbormaster will direct that traps be placed north of the Nichols Brothers Boat Builders pier or east of the boat moorings. Operations manager Ed Field said the crew may be able to drive in up to three pilings per day; 14 are needed for the new breakwater. Removing the current pilings will be an additional issue for the construction crew. “Some of the inner ones have to go where the existing breakwater actually is,” Field said.

WHIDBEY Orcas remain elusive this season Orca Network’s phone has been quiet the past week. That’s because people aren’t seeing many orcas around Whidbey. The last sighting of any resident orcas was July 20. “It’s unheard of for the residents to be away from the inland waters for so many days in June and July,” said Howard Garrett and Susan Berta, the Orca Network’s founders and directors. Biggs/transient orcas were rarely spotted in the past couple of weeks, according to the Orca Network. Garrett and Berta claimed orcas are out in the Pacific Ocean near the continental shelf when they would normally be in Puget Sound because Chinook salmon, orcas’ primary diet, are dwindling from California to British Colombia. Some were spotted recently near Vancouver Island and the San Juan Islands.

STATE Total outdoor burn ban begins Washington’s Department of Natural Resources has banned all outdoor burning on its lands, including areas on

Whidbey Island. Island County followed suit, with Sheriff Mark Brown as the county’s fire marshal, banning all fires in the county as of July 31. Hot and dry conditions have made the potential for wildfire unusually high on both sides of the Cascade Mountains, according to a news release from the DNR. The ban is in effect through Sept. 30 and prohibits campfires in developed campgrounds and other recreational fires and also prohibits prescribed burns. It applies to all forestlands in Washington except federal lands and prohibits campfires in all state, local and private campgrounds. “The risk of wildfire is unusually high and the consequences could be catastrophic,” said DNR Commissioner Peter Goldmark in a statement. “We have hundreds of firefighters fighting two major wildfires and numerous smaller fires in Washington state. Our resources are stretched thin.” Wildfires are often ignited by lightning, and this week’s weather forecasts indicate a significant potential for lightningcaused wildfires. Most fires are caused by human activities. Some of the most destructive fire threats to the state’s wildlands and homes in rural areas can be traced to three sources: carelessly tended outdoor fires, indefensible home sites, and sparks caused by equipment or vehicles.

South Whidbey son finds haven, graduation at Insight School By GRACE SWANSON Staff intern John Goettle has a lot of similarities with other 19-year-old boys. He tinkers with technology and likes traveling. The Everett Community College student is intelligent and conversational, at times. That wasn’t always the case. Goettle’s life with Asperger’s syndrome proved challenging for several years. Like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, all he needed was a push to emerge from his cocoon. At a young age, Goettle was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a form of mild autism. It’s difficult for Goettle to make eye contact, use hand gestures, understand humor, and connect with people as well as being more concentrated on himself. During his earlier school years, he was less aware of his surroundings because of Asperger’s syndrome. “Lower expectations were set for me,” Goettle said. Through his elementary school years, he was enrolled entirely in special education classes. In sixth grade, he met Paul Kukuk, who was supposed to be a role model more than a tutor. Kukuk wasn’t tasked to work on academics with Goettle because the special education teacher felt it would be too challenging. “The special education teacher said ‘Just be his friend, don’t worry about academics’” Kukuk said. “It was almost like saying he wasn’t competent to learn anything.” Middle school special education teacher Gerry Barat recognized Goettle was capable of more and tried to push

John Goettle listens as Insight School of Washington principal introduces him as the school’s student of the year. Goettle, who has Asperger’s syndrome, transferred from South Whidbey schools to Insight to enroll in standard courses and graduated this year with honors. him in seventh grade. That year, Kukuk focused mainly on academics. Goettle was reluctant because he was afraid of change. Barat worked with Kukuk to improve personal things with Goettle as well as challenge him academically. At first, Goettle didn’t want to talk about his condition. As time went on he became more open to discussing it. In his freshman year of high school, Goettle was put into regular classes. But he remained hesitant. During Goettle’s sophomore year, he returned to special education classes. Though he said he was ready for regular classes, the school kept him in special education. It prompted Goettle to transfer to the Insight School of Washington, an online program.

Carol Hanson

There were requirements before he could enroll in courses with Insight. Goettle had to catch up in English and math. He learned to read by reading online materials, which also helped him learn to write. To catch up to the ninth-grade math level, he received help from retired math teacher Ann Gallagher. He was largely self-taught in reading, writing and computers. “Hard work pays off,” Goettle said. Through Insight, he was only given the option of taking regular classes. Goettle enrolled in algebra 1 and 2, geometry, English 3 and 4, U.S. history, chemistry, biology, and C++ programming. His favorite class was C++ programming, which involved programming computers.

Online school still posed difficulties. With Asperger’s syndrome, the social aspect was challenging for him. Insight allowed him to focus on the academic aspect, while he continued to work on his social skills. He was able to work on his Asperger’s syndrome through counseling as well as help from supportive adults who pushed him in school and everyday life. “I don’t think people should

give up on people that are on the autism spectrum,”Goettle said. “If people work with them diligently, they will get a personal drive which will enable them to succeed.” People with autism are often underestimated because of their social differences, he said. They never unlock their true potential. Goettle continued to study at Insight for three years. On graduation day, Kukuk was there to support and congratulate Goettle. The graduation took place at Bellevue Community College. The class walked into the room wearing their caps and gowns. Kukuk noticed that

Goettle was wearing a gold cord around his neck. He looked into the program and read it symbolized honors, graduating with a grade-point average of 3.3 or higher. “And I thought, ‘This is that kid that the teachers thought couldn’t learn anything,’” Kukuk said. The ceremony continued. At the end, the principal announced that every year the teachers and he select and surprise a student of the year from the graduating class. As the principal began to speak about the student, Kukuk thought it sounded a lot like Goettle. He wasn’t sure, because of the 425 students there had to be others with challenges. As the principal announced that the selected student was John Goettle, Kukuk admitted tears rolled down his cheeks. Goettle is attending Everett Community College and hopes to transfer to the University of Washington and pursue a bachelor’s degree in computer science. The transformation Goettle made shows his perseverance as well as guidance from others. Kukuk is amazed and proud of the progress Goettle has made since the sixth grade. “You know what caterpillars turn into?” Kukuk asked. “Butterflies.”

Our viewpoint A good week to visit a local farmers market

Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee proclaimed Aug. 4-10 Washington Farmers Market Week. The popularity in farmers markets continues to increase with an estimated 150-plus markets across the state. Regional news outlets reported there is an increasing trend in consumers wanting fresh, locally-grown produce, meats, cheeses and specialty foods. Lucky for Whidbey Island residents, there’s an abundance of options on Whidbey Island, including ones in our own backyard. Four out of seven days a week there’s an outdoor or farmers market to attend somewhere on the island, and shopping at these seasonal markets is a great way to support local vendors. Attending markets is also a great way to try out different produce and learn different ways of preparing fresh foods. One of the best aspects of shopping at the various markets is the ability to talk directly to the vendors and growers. Most are eager to share information about their products. It’s clear they take pride in their work and the quality of their produce and other products. Most readily share cooking methods and ideas. South Whidbey has four open air markets for residents to attend Thursday through Sunday. Thursdays explore fresh produce, flowers and other wares at the Clinton Market. Whidbey’s newest market also offers music, food and a beer and wine garden. The Clinton market is located off State Highway 525 behind Dairy Queen. On Fridays, Langley holds its Second Street Market 3-7 p.m. the market offers produce, flowers, music and local demonstrations. Bayview Farmers Market, near Bayview Corner, is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Saturday. One of the Whidbey Island’s largest markets, Bayview is a fun, lively gathering that features a wide variety of vendors offering produce, fresh-baked goods, ready-to-eat foods and beverages. If purely organic is your preference, the Tilth Market operates 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays on Highway 525 south of Freeland. Further north on the island there are two options. Coupeville Farmers Market is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Saturday. The market is located on the community green near the public library. Oak Harbor’s market operates 4-7 p.m. Thursdays and is located on State Highway 20 near the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. If you haven’t visited one of the island’s many markets, Washington Farmers Market Week is a good reason to do so.

Letters to the editor Parks

Parks-operated golf course makes sense

Editor, Let me make clear, I am in favor of South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District operating a Holmes Harbor Golf Course. Because I live on the golf course I have a vested interest in seeing it be successful. I’d be happy with the golf course being run by a private party, but I may be even more happy with the Parks and Recreation District people running the golf course. Before moving to Whidbey, I lived in Salt Lake City. The city has operated nine municipal golf courses successfully for decades. Salt Lake County operates an additional six courses. Surrounding counties, each within 45 minutes of Salt Lake City, probably operate as many as 20 additional cours-

es. Many of these courses operate at profit that subsidizes other recreational activities — parks, youth sports, senior programs. These municipal courses are being operated in a part of the country that is probably one of the most conservative. I have been going regularly to Oak Harbor to play golf and spend my money in Oak Harbor, not just for golf, but also for eating out. That’s money I would likely be spending on South Whidbey if Holmes Harbor Golf Course was opened. Beach Fire Grill has already been leased to a private party, so the argument suggesting that the golf course operation will benefit the owner of that building is not so persuasive. Perhaps the private restaurant operation will actually make the Parks golf operation more successful. That’s good because they should be symbiotic operations. South Whidbey Parks and Recreation operates parks for children and the public at large. Parks can be enjoyed by hiking, picnics, Frisbee tossing or

just relaxing. By the way, no one directly pays for any of these activities. Parks also operates launch facilities for three lakes. I’m not sure boaters on these lakes outnumber potential golfers for Holmes Harbor Golf Course. Perhaps it is OK to subsidize boaters, but a break-even operation on a golf course doesn’t make sense. That presupposes it would be a break-even operation. It could very well make a profit that could be invested in new park facilities. It is impossible for me to believe that you could not make a profit when you do not have any investment in land or water to recover. My last argument for Parks and Recreation to get into the golf business at Holmes Harbor is personally selfish but still in the best interest of Island County — home values in the Holmes Harbor Community will increase, but so will the taxes we pay to Island County.

More letters to the editor Election

Bond promises to bring leadership Editor, It’s time to bring someone to the school board table who is an experienced educator, whose collaborative and analytical skills embrace the success of all students in the district. Betty Bond believes that our schools can deliver quality education without wasting resources, but that it will require leadership to provide the oversight to ensure topnotch resources. Betty is our candidate with a passion to help our children receive the best education possible and to help our entire educational community retain and continue their own passions for helping our kids reach their individual goals. Our community is rich with talent that is already reaching out to share visual and performing arts with our children, but our support for these programs is needed to continue this level of community participation. Betty Bond is the candidate who has actual classroom experience and fully appreciates the dedication of time and effort it takes to deliver a quality instructional program. She has taught at varied grade levels, instructed and evaluated student teachers, served as a teacher mentor, and has been involved in almost every facet of the educational process. Betty Bond also understands how important it is to ensure that every teacher embraces the importance that all children, regardless of learning style, need to have

access to all grade level curriculum. She sees education as a holistic issue and feels that there are many issues that need to be explored. Betty has a broad view of the educational process and understands that while some issues may be emotionally charged, only reasonable discourse, research, listening and careful planning can promote positive change. Proven leadership, collaborative skills and experience are what our schools need to continue the work we need to finish and improve in order to make South Whidbey School District in what Betty calls, a “world class school district where everyone is accountable.” Our children’s learning successes are directly tied to a strong democracy and a strong business economy for all of us. Vote for Betty Bond, Position 5, South Whidbey School Board.

This is not a paid position and the hours are long. The issues are never as simple as they seem to be from the outside looking in but they should all begin and end with the questions, “What is best for the students?” As Michelle Obama said to a heckler and I am paraphrasing, “It is not about you or your issue. It is about the kids. It is about their future. That is what is important.” As I make my final black mark on someone’s name to cast my ballot, I hope it is the last black mark I see on your name. I hope you will proceed forward as the next school director as a true servant of each child making their way through the system. They need you to stay focused on their needs and not your need to be right or your need to take care of anyone other than each of those kids. These kids deserve the best small school district we can develop for them. Shawn nowlin Freeland

Commissioner

Emerson has shown agenda Editor, I have been reading about Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson in the South Whidbey Record for what seems like a very long time.

It is clear that she is not representing the majority of voters in Island County but instead has her own agenda. It became clear first when the issue of prayer at the meetings came up. Even though the Constitution expressly forbids a state from recognizing a particular religion she still wants to have prayer at the beginning of the meetings of the commissioners. Having any prayer sanctioned by the government implies that the state is recognizing the prayer’s religion. Kelly Emerson still wants to figure out a way to have a government sanctioned prayer — but only a Christian prayer. This shows that she does not respect the constitutions of either Washington state or the United States. As if this weren’t enough, now she has misconstrued about what went on during a meeting in which the commissioners decided that only one commissioner would be present at each law and justice community meeting to avoid a quorum. This meeting was recorded and it was plain what the intent was. Nevertheless, Kelly Emerson said that she understood it differently, which is just plain hogwash. She then went to a meeting another commissioner was to attend, forcing the

other commissioner to back out in order to avoid having a quorum and all the legal issues involved with that. It is obvious that Kelly Emerson has no respect for the democratic process or for the separation of church and state. She has her own agenda and is apparently trying to use her position to further it. This is undemocratic and unAmerican. Eric Snow clinton

Cell tower

Come up with a better proposal Editor, Bruce Buls describes the Possession Park cell tower project as “ill-conceived.” Perhaps so, but I request he offer a better conceived project. I own a cell phone. I use it infrequently; seldom for entertainment and socializing. Mainly I have it for emergencies, so I can dial 9-1-1 and, if need be, family and friends. It doesn’t work at our house in the woods; it often does not work at other locations on Whidbey. I have dialed 9-1-1 in the

past, for medical emergencies and to request police. Fire is always a possibility, though I am fortunate I haven’t needed to make that call. The edition of The Record that prints Mr. Buls’ letter describes a fatal motorcycleautomobile crash. Anyone involved in or witness to such a mishap is going to reach for their cell phone to call for help. Imagine if you are in such a situation and there is no reception. I love the beauty and ecology of Whidbey and try to maintain our house and woodland in a way compatible with the beauty and serenity of Whidbey Island. Unfortunately, all life involves tradeoffs and difficult decisions. The only way to keep Whidbey Island “completely pristine,” would be for every human being to vacate the island and leave it to the deer, raccoons, coyotes, finches and crows. As a less extreme suggestion, I request that Mr. Buls propose a reasonable way to reconcile our desire to keep Whidbey beautiful and each of our lives safe. STEPhEn Kahn langley

Racers come from near, far for triahlon By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter

Swimming in Goss Lake with a few hundred people can be a challenge. That’s what an estimated 285 racers will discover this morning during the first part of the 17th annual Whidbey Island Triathlon. Though some of the spots are taken by teams, with at most one person for each segment — swim, bike and run — many of the racers will cruise the 23.8-mile course solo. This is the second year the race will start a little later than it had the first 15 times. Race time is set for 10 a.m., one hour later than the 2011 race and all the Whidbey Triathlons that preceded it. A later time gives racers, many of whom come from other states like Ohio, Texas, Maryland and South Carolina and as far as Italy this

year, more time in the morning to arrive and prepare. And the change of time has paid off for South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District, the event’s organizer. “We are somewhere around capacity,” said Carrie Monforte, parks program manager. “We want to keep the quality up.” “Some liked it better, some didn’t like it. It’s going to be fine this year because it’ll be a little cooler.” One of the major limiting factors is how many bicycles fit into racks at the Goss Lake parking lot, a limited space. Bike transportation from the staging area at Community Park to the lake is, for the second year, up to the racers. Previously, the parks district used small Island Transit buses to get the bikes to the lake. That agreement was nixed in 2012, so the parks district had to rely on the

Coupeville runs will fund grad party Run around Central Whidbey for the Race the Reserve Half Marathon, 10K and 5K runs next weekend. Fees from the race help fund the Coupeville High School graduation party. The race Saturday, Aug. 10 winds through Ebey’s Landing National Historical Preserve. Runners start the out-andback course near Coupeville Elementary School at the Mickey Clark Field. The course makes two loops around Ebey’s

racers and their supporters. Transportation for people is still provided by the parks district, which rents school buses. Registration costs were the same as last year, with the top fee of $75 for individual racers and $150 for a team of up to three people. The parks district opted for almost exclusive online registration to simplify the process, though it added a fee through active.com. In certain cases, racers were allowed to register at the parks district headquarters in Langley, though it only happened a few times this year. When people register online for the triathlon, one of the optional questions is why they’re racing and if they have an interesting story. Tales of sibling rivalry like twins racing, healthy living and celebrating the end to a long battle with cancer came back this

Landing, starting with about a three-mile loop, then a second, longer loop along Terry Road, Fort Casey Road and South Engle Road before returning to the school. Along the route, runners can see Mount Baker, the Olympic mountain range, Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Cascade mountain range and Mount Rainier. The race begins at 8:30 a.m. and the half marathon course will remain open for three hours. To join Race the Reserve, visit racethereserve.com; fees are $55 for the half marathon or $60 the day of the race.

Summer fishing, crabbing in full swing Summer fisheries are providing some of the best fishing opportunities of the year. Washington’s Department of Fish and Wildlife reported anglers are reeling in salmon off the coast, pulling up pots full of crab in Puget Sound, and casting for trout in alpine lakes on both sides of the Cascades. Hunters will take to the field this month to hunt for black bears in the first big-game hunt of the season. Many others will also be out scouting hunting

In sheer numbers, pink salmon will dominate the catch by Puget Sound anglers over the next month. Nearly 6 million pink salmon are expected to return to the Sound this year, many of them during the next few weeks. The smallest of the five Pacific salmon species, pink

In most marine areas of Puget Sound, anglers are allowed to catch and keep two pink salmon in addition to daily limits for other species. Crab fishing is open throughout the month in most areas of Puget Sound, the exception being sub-area 7 north which opens Aug. 15. Crab fishing is allowed Thursday through Monday each week. The daily catch limit is five Dungeness crab, males only, in hard-shell condition with a minimum carapace width of 6¼ inches.

Obituary Scot Louis Gaznier

Scot Louis Gaznier Scot Louis Gaznier, 65, died June 18, 2013 in Ashland, Ore. Born Oct. 15, 1947, Scot graduated from USC in multimedia/architecture in the early 1970s and followed his professor and mentor, John Braun, to Langley, Wash. Scot worked as a graphic designer for many local businesses, creating logos, posters, T-shirt designs, postcards, photo-realistic prints, ads, Clyde Theatre movie schedules, educational materials for the Giraffe Project, projects for Advanced Technology Laboratories, Inc. in Bothell, and several East coast private schools. He also created multimedia slide shows for productions by FOOLS, a local theatre group, and “The World of Jules Verne,” funded by the Washington Commission for the Humanities and the Boeing Corporation. This production was presented at Boeing Spacearium and the American Museum of Natural History in New York. In 1994 Scot received a national award in the engineering/scientific design category of an international print design contest. Scot is best remembered though for his brilliant visual vision and love of play in the shows he presented in the woods at his home outside of Langley, at the Pacific coast camping at LaPush, in which he had his friends involved in the actual creations. As one friend said: “It altered my experience then, now and always. I will never forget the nights we spent together and the wonders we saw and felt. Thank you Scot.” Scot leaves behind his former wife and friend, Jean Shaw of Langley, his nephew and niece, Joshua Berkseth and Silka Berkseth Clark of Aurora, Colo., and the special group of friends who helped him create his unique and magical images. A showing of the few works he left behind is being planned for later this year in Langley.

Highland Games mark 15 years at Greenbank Farm By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter Get your cabers ready to toss. A group of Scottishminded people will get their large poles ready to hurl when they participate in the annual Highland Games, which takes place Aug. 10 at the Greenbank Farm. The Highland Games is a one-day festival celebrating all things Scottish. The day features athletic competitions, bagpiping, highland dancing and more. Oak Harbor resident Fionna Strong, 15, has been dancing since she was 4 years old, attended the Oak Harbor Public Market and the Coupeville

Public Market to demonstrate highland dancing and promote the upcoming games. The games were started in 1998 and were organized by Maureen Lee and her family. She said they had just moved to the island and wanted to organize an event that would add to the culture of Whidbey Island. Lee, her husband Angus, and her children Cameron and Callum, are bagpipers. They also own the Tartan Thistle, which distributes bagpipes and supplies online. She said her family’s interest in bagpiping goes back generations. The festival will also have clan tents where people can learn about

Whether I’m on my way to the ferry or headed back home,

their Scottish ancestry. Those tents also feature clothing, literature, music and more. Whidbey’s Highland games is the latest of a series of such events that take place throughout the region. Mount Vernon’s took place two weeks ago and other events were held in Portland and Enumclaw. Cost for the Whidbey Island Highland Games is $10 per adult, $7 for seniors/military/students and free for children 4 and under. Lee said organizers are looking for volunteers, especially with set up in the days leading up to the event and tear down Saturday. For more information, call 360-331-4688.

Shakespeare festival begins new season

at the galleries

Gallery presents oil paintings Artworks Gallery will feature artist Barbara Mearing during August. Her work includes miniature to medium size paintings in oils, acrylics, pastels and colored pencils. Mearing’s work can be seen during Artworks First Friday reception Aug. 5, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Artworks Gallery is located at Greenbank Farm and is open during the summer, everyday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit artworkswhidbey.com or call 360.222.3010.

By CELESTE ERICKSON Staff reporter The costumes are fitted, the set is in place and the tent raised. Island Shakespeare Festival is gearing up for its performance of “Much Ado About Nothing.” Director Rose Woods said she chose the play because it was her grandmother’s favorite, and also because she wants to explore the variations of love with the play. “I think that it is an incredible exploration of love and all its forms.” Woods sets the scene in a European circus around the 1890s. She said she leans on the idea of an old European circus family in Italy

under their new tent. This particular year, it’s in a tent, and that changes a game,” Woods said. “We had been performing in an amphitheater and by doing it in a tent it we have more theatrical moments, from visuals to blocking, etc.” The crew did not get the tent until recently. For most of the rehearsals, during the previous three weeks, the 15-member cast practiced in the hot summer temperatures at Langley Middle School field. Woods said she is not intimidated by the tent. It’s nice to have shelter in case it rains, and to not worry about the temperature because the back end will be open for air to flow, she said. Performances will offer seating inside and outside the tent for an audience of about 300. This is the company’s fourth year together. A third of the company comes from off island. “We have the most amazing cast and company,” Woods said, adding it’s exciting when talent comes from far away. The cast of “Much Ado About Nothing” features Olena Hodges as Beatrice and David Mayer as Benedict. The cast also includes Miles Harrison, Ahna Dunn-Wilder, Gabe Harshman, Matt Bell, Morgan Bondelid, Laurel Livezey, Damien Cortez, Cameron Gray, Valerie Huntington, Kent Junge, Melanie Lowey, Andrew Pearce and Cedar Stephens. The play follows the Circo di Messina troupe as they welcome the performers from Circo di Aragon. Members of both troupes fall in love.

Actors Olena Hodges (Beatrice) and David Mayer (Benedict) practice a scene during rehearsal for “Much Ado About Nothing. “ young couple around whom the plot centers. This is the first lead role in a Shakespeare play for Mayer. He said the leading role is an interesting challenge and requires a certain grounding. Mayer played humorous roles before, but said there is an interesting mix he has to build as the leading man. Mayer began learning his role by relying heavily on the text and his own interpretation of the work instead of watching other performances. “I enjoy that with Shakespeare, it’s like reading a mystery novel. You build the vision in your head what the scene is saying and get a lot of ‘a ha’ moments, each a little harder to unlock,” Mayer said. Mayer said one of the challenges is making the work conversational for audiences and to be as clear and specific as possible. Mayer has been with Island Shakespeare Festival for three seasons and said Woods directs as if giving a “firm but warm hug.”

He enjoys being in the hands of a director and group that he trusts. He said that allows for him to play and explore with his role in the rehearsal process. “I hope the audience laughs, I think this play brings laughter and tears,” Woods said. “It’s a full range of family love, friendship and romantic love. I hope people leave with a sense of love and certainly fun.” Woods said the cast has been ready to perform even before the tent arrived, but things always come together in the final week. “I trust this company to deliver magic,” she said. “They have always done so.”

Much Ado About Nothing Much Ado About Nothing begins at 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sundays from Aug. 3 through Sept. 15 under the Big Top in Langley behind Langley Middle School. Performances are free, with donations accepted. For more information call 360-221-1710 or visit www.islandshakespearefest.org

Obituary

Julia L. Hodson (Pankau)

Life as we know it ended on July 21, 2013, with the death of Julia L. “Julie” Hodson. An avid supporter of the performing arts and inveterate traveler, Julie visited 49 states, more than 30 countries and all seven continents. Julie was born in Seattle, the eldest daughter of the Honorable James W. Hodson and Grace Hess Hodson. She was educated in Seattle schools, Forest Ridge Convent and graduated from Bellevue High School. Following high school she attended Colorado College and graduated from the University of Washington. She completed her legal education through a work study program. For the last 20-plus years her passion was her service as a Certified Professional Guardian to persons with impairment, providing for

their needs while respecting and protecting their individual rights. She was also a selfdescribed “community servant,” serving in numerous organizations. Julie was a founding board member of Habitat for Humanity of Island County — serving for 14 years. She served on the Washington State Ferries Advisory Committee for 18 years. She was an active member of Soroptimist International since 1984. She was also active in the American Association of University Women, Deception Pass Power Squadron, Northwest Tulip Trekkers Volksport Club and other community organizations. At the time of her death, she was a current commissioner of the Housing Authority of Island County and served on the Board of Small Miracles, Coupeville’s Emergency Medical Support fund. In her work with the FIUTS organization at the University of Washington, she hosted international students for 42 years. Julie worked with Harry Wilbert in organizing “Save the Trees” on Whidbey Island to preserve the old growth forest adjacent to South Whidbey State Park — part of which has now been added to the park, including “The Ancient Cedar” on the Wilbert Trail. Public service was her lifetime work. Julie was preceded in death by both parents and

As the saying goes, just when you think you’ve seen/ heard it all, along comes another surprise, and this one is over the top. Chicken diapers. That’s right, diapers for chickens. The picture accompanying that bit of news shows a hen clucking around wearing a little pink diaper, a pink, washable, cloth diaper. My recollections of that long-ago time when I was dealing with cloth diapers is still among the less pleasant memories of my babies, and the very notion of having to handle chicken diapers is beyond comprehension. As I understand from what I read of this new twist in chicken care, there are apparently city dwelling people with no yard in which to keep chickens who nevertheless want to have pet chickens, which of course, must be kept indoors. These people, who must have serious problems in the “get

a life” category, evidently don’t mind changing diapers on their chickens, and for reasons I’ve not yet found explained, don’t use disposable diapers. I should note, at this point, that I’m not a chicken lover except when it’s on my plate for a meal, and I do appreciate the eggs they produce. Other than that, however, I prefer to keep my distance from live chickens, especially roosters. I’ve had more than one highly unpleasant encounter with arrogant, aggressive roosters, and the thought of trying to diaper one leaves me dazed. A rooster strutting around in a pink diaper? I’d think it would seriously damage his credibility with the hens. To my further surprise, I found at least two websites that sell chicken diapers, as well as other “attire” for our feathered friends, such as Birdy Bra Chest Protectors, Chicken Saddles, and harness diapers with a metal ring you can snap a leash into so you can walk your rooster whenever the mood strikes you. I’m struck dumb at the thought of being seen walking a rooster. Hen Holster offers the “Original Harness Diaper” with instructions on how to diaper your rooster, as well as their specialty, a Bikini Hen Holster in small, medium and large, also with instructions for dressing your chicken in it’s little

bikini. Another site, Pampered Poultry, offers “Fashionable Underwear” for your chicken, parrot or goose; diapers are only $12.50 each, but you can also buy packages of diaper liners, which presumably extend each diaper’s daily use. Or, you can spend $21.95 and have a matching diaper and dress set, available in small, medium and large, and in a variety of colors such as Island Turquoise, Ocean Blue and Purple Meadow. I’m trying to imagine a yard full of chickens, tastefully attired in Island Turquoise matching dresses and diapers, all scratching and pecking away, doing what chickens do. One thing I know for sure, I’ll never again be able to look at a bare-naked chicken lying in the poultry counter without mentally giving it a fashionable outfit. Gives a whole new meaning to “dressing a chicken,” doesn’t it?

RECIPES As I said, I prefer my chicken ready to cook, so let’s talk about fun things to do with your chicken, after you’ve removed its diaper and/or dress — as well as its head, feathers, feet and innards. We still have plenty of summertime left, so let’s talk about some sweet, hot chicken that’s easy to have on the table in under an hour

Cut each chicken breast into 4 lengthwise strips then thread twelve 8-inch skewers with one strip each. Marinate the chicken skewers in the buttermilk mixture for 20 min., then put on a rack set over a baking sheet and season lightly with salt and pepper. Combine flour, panko and Hot Seasoning mixture in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken skewers in this mixture, shake off excess and return skewers to the rack.

Brush or drizzle skewers with Hot Sauce as they come out of the skillet and serve any remaining sauce on the side. Makes 12 skewers. To make Hot Seasoning: Combine 1 tsp. each of paprika, chili powder, dried oregano, dried basil, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper, with ½ t. kosher salt and ¼ t. cayenne pepper. Pulverize this mixture in a clean coffee grinder; use as specified in above recipe. To make Hot Sauce for basting/serving: Combine ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, ¼ cup Tabasco, 1 T. honey and 1 t. garlic powder in a small bowl until well blended. Drizzle on the just-fried chicken skewers and let it soak in a bit before serving, with remaining sauce on the side. Note: If these are too spicy for your taste, leave the cayenne out of the seasoning and adjust the Tabasco in the marinade as well as the sauce, as desired.

Obituary

Alex “Al” Toth

Alex “Al” Toth, of Coupeville, passed away at his home on July 17, 2013 at age 88. He was born March 5, 1925 in South Bend, Ind. to his Hungarian immigrant parents, Charles and Lina Toth. He was proud of his Hungarian heritage, often cooking Hungarian foods for his friends and staff at his real estate office, Panorama Properties, where he had a full kitchen to indulge his favorite hobby — cooking. Al had a normal childhood, growing up during the Great Depression. To earn extra money, beginning at age 8, he sold magazine subscriptions to Liberty Magazine, then later graduated to having a paper route, picking fruit in the summer, working at a soda fountain and being a waiter at a restaurant. During WWII in 1942, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy at age 17, while still in high school. After graduating in 1943, he entered the Navy and served until 1946, when he was honorably discharged as an ensign. Al

Alex “Al” Toth entered the University of Notre Dame after his Navy service and graduated in 1949 with a degree in journalism. He went to work in Grand Rapids, Mich. for a radio and television station as a copy writer. After becoming disenchanted with being a copy writer, Al moved to Seattle in 1952 and started a new career in real estate sales, with MacPherson Realty. In 1953, while flying from Chicago to Seattle, he met his future wife, United Airlines stewardess Barbara Maschinot. In 1954 they married, and subsequently had five wonderful children. In the early 1960s, real estate sales slowed considerably and Al started selling pots

and pans door-to-door. A friend asked him, “What’s a Notre Dame graduate doing selling pots and pans?” Al replied “Hey, I’ve got a wife and five kids and we have to eat!” They never missed a meal. The Seattle World’s Fair in 1962 provided a new opportunity for Al. He was trying to think of a way to make money selling souvenirs when the thought hit him — what would be a good souvenir? Something practical that would appeal to men, women and children, and sell for only $1. He was scratching his head with a pen — “That’s it,” he said. “A pen! What was going to be the outstanding attraction at the fair — the Space Needle! How about a pen in the shape of the Space Needle?” After a hectic search for funding, the Space Needle pen was born and was the top selling souvenir at the Seattle World’s Fair. He sold 487,000 pens for $1 each. Today, these pens are collector’s items and being sold for $10-$20 each. While in Seattle, Al Toth was a member of the Notre Dame Club of Western Washington. In 1964 he was elected president of the club

and in 1965 he was named the Notre Dame Club Manof-the-Year. In 1967 Al discovered Whidbey Island while selling recreational lots at Admiral’s Cove, Sierra and Holmes Harbor for MacPherson Realty. In 1969 the Toth Family moved to Whidbey Island where Al had a home built for them at Ledgewood Beach, where he was selling lots for his own company, Panorama Properties. By 1971, Al had sold most of the lots at Ledgewood Beach and decided to move Panorama Properties to Oak Harbor. His first office was a converted barber shop. Also at this time, he and his wife bought and owned the “Big Rock” in Coupeville. In 1978 he built a brand new building for Panorama Properties. The rest is history. Many millions of dollars in sales, many homes and land sold, many friends made, many meals cooked and many parties were had. Al will be remembered as an honest man, strongwilled, straight-forward and candid. He said what he meant and meant what he said. He did not mince his words. Surprisingly, he was also quite sentimental. He

Al was a member of the Notre Dame Club of Western Washington, the National Association of Realtors and St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Coupeville. Al is survived by his wife, Barbara, at the family home in Ledgewood Beach, and by his children and their spouses: Patricia/Patti Toth (Randy) Stone, Jennifer (Bob) Henning, Charles (Val) Toth, Melissa (Roland) Robinson and Janet (Terry) Backman. He is also survived by his seven grandchildren — Kylan Robinson, Jaron Robinson, Carly Backman, Blair Henning, Riley Backman, Shelby Toth and Veronica Monell — and one great granddaughter, Lainey Robinson. He is also survived by his sister Irene Csiszar. He was preceded in death by his granddaughter Katie Toth (Patti’s daughter) and his sister Rosemarie Cook. At Al’s request, there will be no memorial service. He asked that his friends remember him by raising a glass of good cheer in his memory. In lieu of flowers and consistent with Al’s wishes, the family requests that donations be made to the Katie Toth Memorial Education Fund of the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children (APSAC) www. apsac.org/donate-to-apsac, or to the American Brain Tumor Association www. abta.org

WEEK OF AUGUST 4 TO 10, 2013

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS, AND CAPRICORN.

ARIES

You’re a dynamic sort of person and you sweep a lot of people along in your wake. People admire you for one reason or another and you might even find that you’ve been put on a pedestal. TAURUS

You enjoy some especially good times with your family. You may succeed in burying the hatchet between you and some of your loved ones. GEMINI

You’ll be all over the place this week. There are many comings and goings, and you could end up turning into a taxi driver for your children. A short business trip is also possible. CANCER

When you return to work after a great vacation, you’ll be surprised by a great promotion. LEO

There is a lot of action for you on the horizon. You may receive some nice surprises, whether it’s your birthday or not. Your friends suggest some rather exciting activities. VIRGO

You feel the need to weed out some acquaintances. You’ll be able to see more clearly once you eliminate any energy suckers, and you will then be able to enjoy some good times with your real friends. LIBRA

MARINA CONTINUED FROM A1 visit South Whidbey Harbor once the new breakwater is installed. With expansion of the dock by 380 linear feet, allowing 60-foot yachts to tie up for a few nights may be more lucrative for the port district and the South End than mooring a couple of 30-foot boats in that same space for a year. “It’s kind of a dart-board thing,” said Commissioner Dennis Gregoire. Under the current commissioners’ direction, the port pursued economic development opportunities and projects. The commissioners said the intent was to allow for more boaters to pull into Langley and dine and shop in town. They may also visit Clinton and Freeland, stay a couple of nights before sailing away. “I’ve been monitoring people coming over this summer - June, July, August - and they don’t have thin wallets,” Gregoire said. With an expanded capacity on the horizon with the new breakwater and dock, the commissioners said they want to limit their variables. Rather than rely on a “If

you build it, they will come” mentality, the board wants to see what kind of traffic the new harbor brings in before hiking the rates to capitalize on the improvements. One thing appears certain with the new harbor, however. With an increased capacity, the port will likely need a part-time assistant harbormaster in Langley to aid the full-time harbormaster. “Since we took over, we went from zero staffing to you pull up and we meet you there and grab your lines,” Field said. “And we haven’t raised rates.” Port commissioners said they wanted to increase the number of annual moorage spaces from the current six, and also find a way to increase rates in a way that generates a general revenue increase of 10 percent. Commissioners Chris Jerome, Curt Gordon and Gregoire agreed the port district won’t have an accurate picture of how to best change moorage rates for at least one or two years after the breakwater is in place The plan is to make South Whidbey Harbor a self-sufficient operation, meaning the money it takes to operate the marina in Langley would be covered by the revenue it brings in from moorage

A small boat pulls into Langley Marina Wednesday, July 31. The Port of South Whidbey is considering future rate increases. rates and utility fees. Rotating “transient” boats into the spaces on a regular basis is one way port officials said they envision putting South Whidbey Harbor in the black. “Our goal for the first year is to fill it up,” Field said. Assistant Harbormaster David Schaal was busy July 31 helping boats dock in Langley. The day and night before crabbing is legal are busy times for he and Harbormaster Duncan McPhee. Schaal said several local boats moor at South Whidbey Harbor from Wednesday to Friday to crab. Come the weekend, the small harbor can be several boats deep on the outside ends of its slips.

Maximizing the spaces is one of the major tasks ahead of the port. Field and the harbormaster will need to look at what kind of boats to offer long-term and seasonal mooring, such as commercial vessels and tourism boats. One recent money generating venture was the Mystic Sea, a whale-watching ship that docked in Langley this spring. Gordon wondered whether its success was genuine or built upon the ship’s novelty and pent up anticipation by whale watchers in the area. Either way, port officials said they will work out a way to accommodate ships like the Mystic Sea, crabbing boats and 24-foot one-night sailboats.

Water and Sewer District to operate the course temporarily. South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District board has also been in talks to take over operations in the future, which would require an additional levy for the district. If the district decides to move forward the board would seek a 9-cent property taxe levy to generate the estimated $360,000 needed to operate the golf course. If the area is operated as a general park the board would ask for a 4-cent levy for $160,000. The course has struggled over the years to find an operator, most recently with Seattle resident Patrick Kent. Kent backed out of an operating deal in May. The course is now open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. or later if people are still playing. Moore made the decision to lower the rates as the course is not in pristine condition. The weekend rate with a cart is $28 and during the weekday with a cart is $25. Moore has a staff of seven, not including volunteers. The course’s pro shop is also in need of work. It is currently being stocked by Moore. The Roaming Radish, a catering business from Freeland, moved into the restaurant space and is planning to open to diners by November, said Radish owner Jess Dowdell. Dowdell said the catering business was in need of a larger kitchen. Dowdell is currently renovating the space to include a pub-style bar space along with outdoor seating. Moore said the course

is run like a “mom and pop operation” — his family has helped him really get this off the ground. “This is a locals’ golf course, run by locals, with a local mentality,” he said. “I’m blessed the community has been so helpful.” With the preliminary plays he asked golfers to jot down a few things he could work on. Moore said the course feels like a different course every time its played. “I’m surprised how good of shape the course is in,” said Evert Olkonen from Clinton. Olkonen was part of a group of 18 that played on Thursday in a family and friends tournament. The group played on the Holmes Harbor course many times before it closed. Connor McGee, of Langley, said he is glad the course is open again because it’s hard to get in Useless Bay Golf & Country Club. McGee played the Holmes Harbor course as a child, but had never played the full course until now. He said he waited for the course to reopen so he could finally play the full course. Moore said he plans to eventually form a non-profit group and establish a junior golf program. He is also in the process of re-certifying the course with the United States Golf Association. Moore said he wants to ensure the stability of the course for it to be around for a long time. “This has been a topnotch course in the past and it will be again,” he said.
