Freeland gas spill sparks well plans By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter New monitoring wells that would track the underground progress of an old fuel spill in Freeland’s sea-level aquifer may be in place by September, state regulators said Monday. At a meeting with the Freeland Water and Sewer District, state Department of Ecology officials went over a plan to install four such wells within 400 feet of the spill site.

Portia Comrie of British Columbia, front, and Colleen Mahan of Washington, back, perform traditional Highland dancing at the Whidbey Island Highland Games on Saturday, Aug. 10 at Greenbank Farm.
Dancers, athletes kick up heels at games By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter If it weren’t for a few sensory clues, people in Greenbank may have felt like they had taken a step back in time Saturday. The blare and honk of bagpipes
was one big hint. They could be heard from Greenbank Farm’s parking lot. Another was the kilts. In combinations of blue, red, green, black, yellow, pink and purple, they were everywhere and rightfully so in the context of the Whidbey Island Highland Games held Aug. 10.
Whidbey’s annual homage to all things Scottish — music, food, games, dance, attire — was rife with highland life. SEE GAMES, A28
At a cost of about $20,000 each, the wells would help monitor the plume through the aquifer, which is about 100 feet below the surface. “We could potentially be out there in a month drilling these wells,” said Eugene Freeman, site manager with the agency’s Voluntary Cleanup Program. In 2005, the owner of Whidbey Marine and Auto Supply on Main Street reported a release of thousands of gallons of fuel from one the store’s fuel tanks. The station closed in 2008 but the owner is participating in the state cleanup program and was able to recover about 2,000 gallons. What could not be collected was continually watched with several wells drilled nearby. That monitoring, however, has revealed the fuel has reached Freeland’s sea-level aquifer. It’s the source of the area’s water
supply and the direction of the plume appears to be heading toward the water district’s wells. They provide water to about 90 commercial business and nearly 400 residences. District commissioners were alerted to the issue within the last two months. Nearly immediate testing and negative results for contamination at the wells has helped settle some nerves but it was clear Monday that board members wanted more than a history lesson; they wanted answers. “The nitty-gritty here, of course, is what this means for us,” said Eric Hansen, president of the district’s board of commissioners. “That’s the key question for us that remains. Is our water supply in imminent danger?” The consensus among experts at the meeting was not now and probably never. Department officials characterized the danger last week as “moderate,” but Island County Hydrologist Doug Kelly said underground spills have a limited reach and lifetime. Small spills don’t usually travel more than a few hundred feet, medium leaks more than 500 feet and large spills more than 1,000 feet. The district’s wells are about 1,900 feet away, Kelly said. Also, data on other spills show that plumes don’t continue to expand after the source has stopped. In this case, the spill was arrested about eight years ago. “I’d be very surprised if this plume is still growing,” Kelly said. Freeman agreed with the assessment, but both also said additional monitoring wells should be installed SEE SPILL, A28

Center to explore cultures at campfire Cultures are coming together in an exploration of art and storytelling at the Northwest Language Academy and Cultural Center this week. The center is hosting a gathering of Japanese, Native Americans and Whidbey Islanders from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Aug. 14 at the NWLA Cultural Center in Langley. The free event will feature songs and stories from host Frank Sanchez, Chief Iron Eagle. Josette Hendrix, found-

er and director, said this event is groundbreaking for the center. The program has offered many language camps for children, but this program is made unique by Sanchez. He is the last principle headsman for the Yankton Sioux Fire of The Great Sioux Nation and a traditional spiritual leader for the Yankton Nakota people. Sanchez spent time in Japan before and after the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. “I frankly think this is going to be life changing for the parents and the children,” Hendrix said. Sixteen visitors from Japan will experience various excursions including making pottery, painting, glass blowing, visiting farms and community centers and taking in the culture on South Whidbey during their stay. English and art teacher Caroline Clark will teach students form-line design, use of ceremonial objects and to distinguish a variety of cultural styles. Clark said she aims to
teach culture through art. Sanchez will also lead a workshop for students and introduce them to native art and culture. Native American culture, or American culture, is important to share with children, he said. Part of his tradition is to pray for children around the world. The work of Doe Stahr, an adopted daughter of the T’lingit/Killerwhale clan, will be featured at the center through Aug. 30. Stahr’s work takes iconography from the ceremonial context of native cultures and blends it with modern native life. Hendrix said visitors will gain a deeper appreciation of American culture, especially in a small-town community. “[This gathering] provides the opportunity in our mission to connect people across cultures to meet on the human level and feel out humanity together on this planet. It supports our being here in harmony and peace,” she said.

Jamieson retires after 37 years as county’s civil deputy By JANIS REID Staff reporter The son of an attorney, Island County Chief Civil Deputy Dave Jamieson said his training in the law started around the family dinner table. “I’m very interested in the details of things,” Jamieson said. “It’s a real problemsolving endeavor as well as something that helps people. Those attributes really attracted me to the law.” After dedicating his life to serving Island County, it was announced this week that he will retire after 37 years. His last day is Aug. 14. Daniel Mitchell, who has been with the department for five years, will fill Jamieson’s position beginning Aug. 16. “I’ve really enjoyed working with all the people in Island County,” Jamieson said. Given his early interest in the precision and problemsolving that comprises the practice of law, Jamieson graduated from Gonzaga Law School in 1975, after earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Washington. He worked at his father’s Tacoma law firm until he was hired by Island County in 1976. In a September 1976 interview with the Whidbey News-
Dave Jamieson Times, when Jamieson first took a position with Island County, he said he looked forward to getting experience in criminal law, county government and representing government agencies. Jamieson got that experience. Starting first as deputy criminal prosecutor, Jamieson “wore a lot of hats” assisting both in civil and criminal cases. A separate deputy civil prosecutor position was developed in the 1980s, which Jamieson assumed until today. As his institutional knowledge grew over the years, Jamieson went on to become an invaluable asset in advising county departments and elected officials. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks, who has worked
with Jamieson for 20 years, said he was “terribly sad” at the news and added the term “loss” was an understatement. “I’ve known Dave a long time,” Banks said. “I’ll miss him a lot. I think a lot of people at the county will miss him. “It will be a big change for us. It’s like losing a major body part.” Banks described Jamieson as a “walking encyclopedia,” an “incredibly capable person who has a quick memory for things that happened a decade ago.” Jamieson has been eligible for retirement since his 30th year with Island County, but has stayed on because he really enjoys his work, he said. Now 66, Jamieson said he is looking forward to doing other things, including spending a lot of time with his wife, six adult children and 10 grandchildren.

Jamieson said he sees his work with the county as both challenging and rewarding, but looks forward to a new chapter in his life. Mac McDowell, who served as Island County commissioner for 15 years, from 1993 to 2008, said Jamieson steered clear of petty politics and focused on keeping the commissioners on the strait and narrow. “He was great to work with, I enjoyed every minute of it,” McDowell said. “He was always willing to give advice and try to keep the commission out of legal trouble.”
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, now in her fifth year on the board, said Jamieson set the bar high for anyone who fills his shoes. “He’s a thorough professional, dedicated to his work and to county process,” Price Johnson said. She added that the loss of Jamieson’s historical knowledge of the county will be a challenge. “Very few people have the historical knowledge and background that he has,” Price Johnson said. “I hope he’s willing to be a phone-afriend.”

“I want to spend more time with them,” he said. “Not miss out on those experiences.” Jamieson said he’s also looking forward to giving back to the community in new ways in keeping with his strong Christian faith. “I want to be helpful to people,” Jamieson said. “Volunteer and seize the moment to do positive things.” Jamieson plans to use some long-saved frequent flyer miles to do some traveling with his family, starting first with trips to Australia and New Zealand.

trooper, Robert Roane of Freeland was northbound on the highway and approaching the intersection on his Suzuki GSXR 750 motorcycle when Roxanne Taylor, a Langley resident, turned her Mercury sedan in front of him. The collision sent Roane crashing into the car’s driver side and windshield. Taylor was unharmed and declined medical attention, said Mike Cotton, deputy fire chief for South Whidbey Fire/EMS. Cotton was one of the first people on the scene as he was heading to the fire protection district’s main station about a halfmile away. When he arrived, he saw the car perpendicular in the left turn lane, the motorcycle on its side and a few people standing around the downed bike. Roane was complaining of pain in his left leg and stomach but also inquiring about his motorcycle. Cotton took his attentiveness as a good sign. “I liked the fact that he was alert and conscious,” Cotton said. The man was transported by Whidbey General Hospital emergency medical technicians to a nearby field where he was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center. Washington State Patrol spokesman Trooper Mark Francis said the injuries did not appear to be life threatening based upon the report filed by Trooper Dave Martin, who investigated the scene. Martin said he issued a citation to Taylor for failing to yield.
FIRE/EMS Neighbor snuffs burned bacon A vigilant neighbor on Maxwelton Road noticed smoke coming from a nearby beach house Tuesday. Luckily for the house’s owners and its renters, who had stepped out to take in the sunny weather and left bacon cooking on parchment paper in the oven, the neighbor is a retired firefighter, said Mike Cotton, a South Whidbey Fire/EMS deputy chief. The bacon was left in the oven too long and eventually caught fire, thoroughly smoking the house. “The fats in the food got hot enough in the oven that eventually it ignited,” Cotton said. “Unfortunately we lost the bacon.” The neighbor used his fire extinguisher to snuff out the flames. District firefighters used an electric fan to blow smoke out of the Maxwelton Beach home and turned off power to the oven as a precaution, Cotton said. No one was injured by the burned bacon or the smoke.

SOUTH END Life jacket, PFD collection goes on Elijah Spratt’s family remains firm on the trail of getting life jackets to put at public watering holes around Puget Sound. Since the death of 10-year-old Elijah, who drowned June 30 at a river park in Arlington, Jacqueline “JJ” Edwards has fervently collected personal flotation devices, or PFDs. Her aim is to collect and distribute them at parks, such as Twin Rivers Park in Arlington and Deer Lake in Clinton. She will be at the Whidbey Island Area Fair this week promoting water safety, collecting PFDs and handing out whistles that can be attached to them. Edwards, who is Spratt’s father’s longtime partner, is also collecting cash donations she said will go toward renting a booth at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe for more PFD collection and water safety promotion. To date, Edwards said she has collected more than 650 PFDs. An online fundraiser has drawn $595 in donations. Donations can be made online at www.gofundme. com/3u01ho For more information, email Edwards at jj edwards53@yahoo.com

Selling your home means you will bear a heavy responsibility – setting the asking price. Some owners believe their agent sets the price. Not so. The agent is an invaluable information resource – but does not set the price. You do. Your agent may implement a brilliant marketing program, attracting many prospective buyers to your home. Prospects may get excited and see themselves owning your home, but the ultimate sale will occur only if you have priced the home fairly. Begin by asking your agent for details about all sales in your area over the past twelve months. Eliminate those which sold a the highest and lowest prices. Next, compare the financing, any special incentives offered, and the conditions of those homes already sold. Look at the sale times too, an consider eliminating the longest (overpriced) and the shortest (underpriced). Take a look at the price variance among those which sold. Try averaging their sale prices, taking into account differences in square footage. Ask your agent which sales appear most typical or similar to the home you are offering. What was the asking price to sale price percentage? If most homes sold within 3% of their asking price, be careful not to set a price more than 3% above the market. Price our home high and you may wait. Price it right and you will move!

“We’re on track. We’re hoping everything will be tidied up so next season we will have a new, fully-operating expanded facility,” he said. Gordon said he looked forward to the expanded capacity which will allow room for larger boats, groups and yacht clubs. “Just the activity brings in more out-of-town folks up and into Langley,” Gordon said. Once the first phase of the project is complete, Gordon said the port will have a joint planning session with Langley city officials to make sure all parties are in agreement with the next phases of the project.

The first pile for South Whidbey Harbor’s new breakwater was pounded into the seafloor Tuesday. Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Curt Gordon said it was great to see workers drive piles and this phase of the expansion project finally underway. Work for the project began in April and in-water work for the harbor began July 15. Gordon said this phase of the expansion will add 400 linear feet of dock space. Ed Field, port operations
manager, said between one and three pilings can be installed per day depending on conditions. The crew will install 14 piles total. Field said Tuesday morning, before the first pile was installed, he was anxious to know the conditions of the soil because that will determine how fast the rest can be installed. Once the piling work is complete, the breakwater will be separated in two segments and the anchor lines attached. The first phase will cost $1.6 million and should wrap in December. The total cost for the project will be up to $2.4 million.

Editorial Whidbey Island Fair is a must-attend The Whidbey Island Area Fair has something for everyone. It is, quite simply, a must-not-miss. The nostalgia runs thick as molasses at the communityrun fair, which takes place Aug. 15-18 in Langley. Grab your kids or grandkids and spend an afternoon exploring. Or grab your sweetheart for a special day in the land of cotton candy and lemonade. This is the 89th year of the fair, which once upon a time was called the Island County Fair. This year’s theme is “Blossoms to Awesome.” The memory-making opportunities are impressive. Egg-in-spoon races and pole climbing. Chicken and goat olympics. Hula hoop and pie-eating contests. Pony rides. A straw maze. Log rolling demonstrations. Deano the Clown. Something billed mysteriously as an “Over-the-hill swine contest.” Of course, there are plenty of animals to meet, thanks to 4-H. Learn about the animals that are being raised on the island, from traditional barnyard critters to alpacas, bunnies and even guinea pigs. Make sure to check out the chicken house, where children crowd around a giant incubator to watch chicks emerging from eggs. As always, there will be plenty of great music from some awesome local talent. This year Oak Harbor’s Tambourine Sky will raise the metaphorical and melodic roof. Away from the barns, the air is perfumed with the sentimental mixture of funnel-cake sweetness, burgers on the grill and barbecue smoke. A cornucopia of fair food and ethnic fare is available at affordable prices. No fair is complete without rides on the Midway — the Ferris wheel at night is spectacular — and contests involving darts and balloons. The annual parade starts in downtown Langley at 10 a.m. Saturday and hits the Midway about 15 minutes later. For those who aren’t big spenders, there’s some great free events, including a Lego contest and a veggie critter workshop. Children ages 12 and under can take part in the passport program, which is a non-judged educational journey through the fairgrounds. Those who present a completed passport receive a special prize. Those who can’t get enough of the fair can even camp nearby, on a first-come basis. Whether you’re a fair regular or neophyte, visit the community get-together and have a great time. Just remember to wear sunscreen because it’s always sunny at the fair. For a schedule of events and highlights of this year’s event, check out our special section on page 11.

Letters Greenbank Farm
Commissioners erred with contract extension Editor, With a surprise vote and no public discussion, the Port of Coupeville extended yet another contract with the private Greenbank Farm Management Group. The motion to extend the contract, at a yearly cost to taxpayers of $49,950, was made by Commissioner Marshall Bronson and seconded by Commissioner Michael Diamanti. Commissioner Benye Weber and members of the public were blind-sided by the move. Nothing on the agenda indicated a motion or vote would take place and both occurred after the opportunity for public comment had passed. Diamanti is filling out the term of Commissioner Laura Blankenship who resigned from the port after accusing Bronson and the port’s executive director, Jim Patton, of “backroom scheming” to benefit the management group. The $49,950 agreement was the
second contract with the management group to be extended past its expiration date. The first was the lease, which required no payment to the port and allowed the management group to keep the money from rentals of port property — the café, offices and shops. Had the lease been allowed to expire, a holdover clause provided for the port to collect $10,000 in “monthly rent” from the management group. By extending the lease, the port passed on the option of collecting this money. Bronson’s and Diamanti’s recent move to extend the management services agreement, in addition to the lease, was the final thumbing of the nose at an eight-member Executive Planning Group that unanimously recommended against renewal of the two contracts. Those eight citizens, including myself as chairperson, were appointed by the port to evaluate the management group and make recommendations for transitioning to a new arrangement for management of Greenbank Farm. After six months of interviews and research, all of us, including the three members appointed by Bronson, recommended against

renewal of the two contracts. We felt that the contracts did not serve the interests of taxpayers. Both would not have expired until March 31, 2014. Now they have been extended until June 2015. Bronson and Diamanti have locked the port and taxpayers into a contract with the management group well into the future and conveniently, before this next election. RICHARD ABRAHAM Greenbank

Freeland woman cherishes long road home By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Diane Mattens’ trip east was quick. She hopped on plane at SeaTac and flew across the country in a handful of hours. The road back was arduous and long as she pedaled 4,295 miles on her bike. The trip, if it can be called that, was a 70 day fundraiser and support-driver for people living with multiple sclerosis. Mattens, a Freeland resident left Washington in late May and came home Aug. 4. She spent hours upon hours sitting on a bike seat through sweat, rain, wind, sun and flat tires. “It’s an opportunity to see the United States visually from the saddle of a bike,” Mattens said. “It was also great to meet people along the way that I would never had the opportunity if I was in a car.” Mattens has lived with multiple sclerosis, an inflammatory disease which damages the nerve cells in the spine and brain, since 1985 — almost 30 years. After she was Photo courtesy of Diane Mattens diagnosed, her father died while on Why w along a i t tothe s ave m on e y ?

the disease and to herself. At 56, Mattens was the oldest member biking the Northwest Tier route of Bike the U.S. for MS. She rode with eight other cyclists from Maine to Seattle, sleeping in tents at campgrounds in 13 states including New York, Illinois and Montana. Along the way, the group also met people diagnosed with MS and did service projects like painting and gardening. During one of the projects, Mattens met a woman who had to use a wheelchair because of MS. The woman, a former runner, told Mattens she discovered a way to run in a pool using pulleys that raised her endorphins enough that she almost felt a “runner’s high.” “Age shouldn’t be a factor that says, ‘No,’” Mattens said. “I feel in better shape now than I did in my 20s. “One big message that I really focused on is, ‘Modification.’ Everybody can move, can exercise, can be strong.” On such a long bike ride, there were plenty of mishaps. She had four flat tires, ended up swapping out the type of tires, replaced the chain and needed new brakes. There was also the time during the third week she was hit by a car — or rather, a truck.
Former Falcon makes academic list Former standout Falcon athlete Lindsey Newman continued adding accolades with a scholar-athlete honor from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.

Mattens was pedaling through a small town with the group, all in line one after the other. There was a safe distance between each bike, Mattens said, when a truck turned left in front of her, bumping the bike and throwing her onto the road. The truck kept going and never stopped. “After that happened, you’re a little shook up,” said Mattens, who had road rash on her hands and knee. “You have to get your composure and get back on the bike, which I did.” Mattens said she downplayed the incident when she checked in with her husband Dave back on South Whidbey. As a fundraiser, Mattens had a goal of raising $13,000, which she surpassed with a total amount of $15,591. Though she said she loved the experience of going coast to coast by bicycle, she doubted she would ever do the Northern Tier ride again. That didn’t exclude other Bike the US for MS routes, however. “Anybody can do this ride,” Mattens said. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I don’t think I could ever get the time off to do this ride.”

‘Much Ado About Nothing’ brings drama, joy to island By CELESTE ERICKSON Staff reporter The Island Shakespeare Festival presents a hilarious performance of “Much Ado About Nothing.” Director Rose Woods sends the audience into the world of Shakespearean comedy through the setting of an Italian circus troupe around the 1890s. The play combines the drama and comedy of blossoming love between two couples. The only thing missing from the circus was an appearance by the former Freeland elephant. Expect budding circus talent and big laughs as the company debuts under its new performing venue this season — the Big Top. Members of the festival raised $32,000 to purchase the tent in July. The tent completes the setting of the play and is sure to be a new staple of the festival. Costumes by Aloria Lanshaw kept with the whimsical mood of the play. Each troupe features a variety of tutus, corsets and circus hats. The play follows the Circo di Messina troupe as they welcome the performers from Circo di Aragon. Members of both troupes fall in love. Benedick with Beatrice, a witty pair whose love is not easy to admit to each other. And Claudio with Hero, a young couple that the conflict centers on. The love from each couple contrasts each other as both succumb to trickery and, in the end, joy in this Shakespearean comedy.

The cast features Olena Hodges as Beatrice with David Mayer as Benedick and Ahna Dunn-Wilder as Hero with Gabe Harshman as Claudio. The cast also includes Miles Harrison, Matt Bell, Morgan Bondelid, Laurel Livezey, Damien
Cortez, Cameron Gray, Valerie Huntington, Kent Junge, Melanie Lowey, Andrew Pearce and Cedar Stephens. Lead actor Mayer delivers a terrific performance as Benedick most notably as he overhears his friends feeding
him stories about Beatrice’s love for him. Mayer makes the audience laugh as he finds every which way to hide behind the props and around the tent in the scene. Hodges as Beatrice exudes wit with crushing lines, initially denying Benedick. Together, their contrary love brought the audience to a roaring laughter. Each actor in the production has a moment to make the audience laugh. Most notably when the villains Borachio and Conrad are brought to trial by Dogberry — Cortez — and Verges — Bondelid. The two actors comically bring the truth of Hero’s alleged unfaithfulness to light. The villains, played

Jane M. Grilliot, 63, passed away in her home on August 6, 2013, with her daughter and husband at her side. Jane was born in Hartford, Conn. to Ted and Eileen Plodzik. She was raised in East Hartford, graduating from high school in 1967. She was the daughter of a county sheriff and a very good student with strong principles. Although always polite and Jane M. Grilliot highly respectful of the law, she protested against the war after learning that most of the boys in her graduating class died in Vietnam. Jane also firmly believed in “giving back” by becoming a candy striper volunteer and assisting the nursing staff with patients at local hospitals. Jane attended Bay Path Junior College in Longmeadow, Mass. and earned an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts. Because of her French speaking skills, intelligence and kind demeanor (not to mention her good looks) she applied for and was accepted by Pan American Airlines to be a flight attendant

By Diane Divelbess President, Island County Fair Association
We all have first memories of fairs, especially those of adolescent thrills and games. But the first time I realized that fairs could have real cultural impact was when I was a student in southern California and my college art design teacher sent us to view the art exhibit at the Los Angeles County Fair. It was a big deal. The fine arts were taken seriously at this fair and they had a big exhibit building to display them. Because we had been given student passes — it was September and schools were in session — I was able to see other sections of the fair as well. From one exhibit hall to another, and
from animal barns to show rings, I was impressed. To see more, I had to return another day on my own. All the many years I lived and worked in the greater Los Angeles area I never missed the annual LA County Fair. In fact, when I was a young high school art teacher, I worked in some of the exhibit buildings restoring murals and repainting signs during the weeks prior to the opening date. It was then that I experienced the comradeship of the “other fair population,” all those many folks who make the fair happen. I have been hooked on fairs ever since. For me, the Whidbey Island Area Fair is no exception.
Many of us who bring you the fair live here and plan throughout the year for ways to make our departments inviting to the exhibitors and educational to the public. This year, by rearranging their display areas, our new quilting, fiber arts, sewing and needlework superintendents will be able to set up live demonstrations of these arts. Remembering my student experience at the LA County Fair, and as the superintendent of fine arts for our fair, I try to present a high-quality fine arts exhibit — one that artists are proud to be in and that fairgoers will appreciate. The Island County Fair Association
works with both local and outside vendors to bring a variety of merchandise, information and foods. And of course we contract with the carnival and entertainers to provide the kind of fun that we expect from fairs. I would like to emphasize that there is much more for younger children than just the kiddie rides. We have organized games, activities and daily contests in the Fiddle Faddle Farm barn. There are pony rides and all the wonderful animals to see and a passport to discover every nook and cranny of the fairgrounds. Don’t forget the ever-popular Chicken Olympics. Our 4-H groups have been preparing all year to exhibit their handiworks, animals and riding skills in the arena. If you read the Premium book, whether online or an actual copy, you can find a number of contests that are fun and challenging to enter. Remember, fairs are both pleasurable and educational. We expect you to learn something new every time you visit! Our 89th fair is Aug. 15 - 18, Thursday through Sunday. Gates open every morning at 9:30. We welcome you and look forward to having you with us!

Try being on call 24/7, feeding animals at 8 a.m. every day and having no sick days. It sounds like a tough job, but for 4-H’er of the year Kelly Uhlig it comes naturally. Kelly, 18, is a member of the Inca Pride Alpaca club. This is her ninth year in the club, but her commitment with 4-H reaches beyond animals. Kelly is involved in many parts of the program such as vegetables, herbs, spinning, yarn, baked goods and flowers. “I love the program and what it does for kids. We learn how to keep records, speak publicly, interact with other kids and adults and take care of animals,” she said. In 4-H, children have the opportunity to learn about life’s responsibilities, diligence and public speaking. Pam Uhlig, club leader and mother of Kelly, said members learn
animals. She said she enjoys learning from others as they learn from her. “To see how much they’ve learned is wonderful,” she said. Uhlig described one year when Kelly helped train a 4-H member older than her. The other member won a showmanship award over Kelly and Kelly cheered for him, not thinking about herself, she said. Kelly is a natural good sport, Uhlig said. She’s learned to work in a group and communicate with all different ages. She’s learned to not be centered around herself and instead focus on the broader view, Uhlig said. Kelly hopes to be a large animal veterinarian and study at Washington State University’s veterinary program. She said being in 4-H has had a big influence on her by teaching her to work with animals. Kelly thinks she could like to make a career out of it.

Alexanders take lifetime of fair-going into parade By Ben watanabe Staff reporter
Connie and Bob Alexander have fond memories of the Whidbey Island Area Fair. Well, Bob’s pleasant recollections may not be Connie’s. The high school sweethearts-turned-married couple, parents and grandparents, have similar flashbacks to their childhood days at the Langley fairgrounds. Bob Alexander was busy flirting with “summer” girls, visitors to Whidbey for the summer. “I went to chase girls,” said Bob during a sunlight afternoon at the Alexanders’ home in Clinton. Connie, a couple of years younger, recalled seeing Bob with other girls back in their childhood days. “He was always chasing the summer girls,” she said with a laugh. Though shortly after those years, they met and dated through high school, eventually marrying. Their “meet-cute” was almost inevitable and has the ring of a Disney movie. “He was the quarterback and I was the cheerleader,” Connie said. Ever since they can remember, the born-and-bred Whidbey Island residents have attended the fair, formerly the Island County Fair. Their long attendance and a lifetime on South Whidbey got the Alexanders nominated to lead the parade and open the fair as its grand marshals. The Alexanders were truly baffled at their selection to cruise in a car, probably a convertible owned by Matt Nichols, CEO of Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, through Langley and into the fairgrounds. “It’s an incredible honor — the tradition, the history,” Connie said. As lifelong Whidbey residents, minus four years when they lived in Everett, the Alexanders have watched the fair change over several decades. Of course, they’ve changed in that span, too. Their children, Jeff Alexander and Jenny Simchuk, grew up going to the

fair as three generations of Alexanders. Now, the Alexanders are grandparents and have passed a the tradition of fairgoing to their grandchildren. This year, however, will be the first year the whole Alexander/Simchuk clan will not attend. High school football begins early in Wisconsin where their son Jeff and his children live. It’ll take away from the allure a bit, the Alexanders admitted. “Seeing the fair through kids’ eyes is pretty special,” Bob said. As a child, Bob had fair fun other than flirting. One of his fondest memories is driving a tractor in the parade with his old friend Lloyd Schumacher. “I think they paid us $5 after it was over,” Bob said, adding that they operated the tractor’s bucket for no real reason other than they were kids driving a tractor in a parade. “We would have done it for nothing.” There’s another fair activity Bob enjoyed as a youth, though it’s one he was unsure of sharing with the public. “I used to sneak in to save 50 cents so I could save it for the rides,” he said. Bob plans to pay for admission this

year, as he has for decades. When the Alexanders go to the fair these days, they travel with four generations. Bob’s mother still attends with the family, including he and Connie, their children and grandchildren, two of which live on their Clinton property a stone’s throw away from their log-style home. Many years ago when their children were young, their daughter
Jenny caught a pig in the long-ended barnyard scramble. Children would try to wrangle a farm animal, and if they did, it was theirs. Jenny’s prize was raised by the Alexanders for about six months before they slaughtered it. The pig was “delicious,” Bob recalled. Walking around the fairgrounds is an entirely social event for Connie and Bob. They run into childhood friends, people they may not have seen in 20 years. Bob, a retired teacher, said one of his favorite encounters is running into former students now grown with children of their own. “That’s always kind of neat,” he said. Even if they miss seeing a few people this year, the Alexanders are fans of the fair’s stage performances. In past years, they delighted seeing Paul Revere and The Raiders. Connie, in a test of her sweetheart’s memory, reminded Bob that “You can’t forget my favorite.” Bob knew the answer: “Elvis.” That is, an Elvis impersonator. Several years ago they saw Danny Vernon, a bonafide Elvis Presley impersonator. Connie was thrilled, though she admits she wasn’t as big a fan in her youth. Catch the grand marshals as they cruise through downtown Langley and into the fairgrounds at 10 a.m. Saturday.

2013 Entertainment Highlights THURSDAY
8 p.m.
The King has entered the building. Elvis Presley, as portrayed by Danny Vernon, will perform for the crowd at the Midway Stage on Thursday evening, closing the fair’s opening day. Vernon’s “Illusion of Elvis” promises to cover three decades of Elvis, from the 1960s to the 1970s. His performance was enough to catch the attention of this year’s grand marshal, or at least one of the grand marshals. Connie Alexander is, along with her husband Bob Alexander, the fair’s grand marshal and an avid fan of Vernon’s Elvis impersonation.

Joe Reggiatore and Janie Cribbs perform as the duo, Janie and Joe. The musical and life partners will perform two different sets at the fair Friday, Aug. 16, one as the duo and another with two other members as Tambourine Sky. By Ben watanabe Staff reporter
Whidbey Island Area Fair goers, prepare to have your minds blown and ears surprised by the soulful songs of duo Janie and Joe and fourpiece band Tambourine Sky. Fronted by vocalist Janie Cribbs, each performer will take the Midway Stage on Friday, Aug. 16. Joe Reggiatore joins her as the guitarist on both acoustic and electric for the duo’s 2 p.m. concert of soulful, original rootsy folk and blues. Janie and Joe are fair veterans, having performed for the crowds in Langley five times. They’re also partners, not just on stage. “From all parts of life, from songwriting to who’s washing dishes,” Cribbs said. The duo plans to open with soothing, soulful melodies, move onto some Celtic instrumentals and include some popular covers, such as “Me and Bobby McGee,” previously performed by Janis Joplin. Tambourine Sky is a new venture for Cribbs and Reggiatore, having performed as a band for about a year. The original two members wanted to add to their sound. “Joe and I wanted to expand our abilities on stage with some friends of ours,” she said. “We wanted to play on bigger stages and have the back beat that gets people out of their seats to dance.” Larry Mason and Kevin Johnson, both guitarists, provide enough melody to fill out the Whidbey Island-residents’ sound of Tambourine Sky. When the four-person band takes the stage, jamming its “folkadelic” roots and blues through the speakers, people get up and dance, Cribbs said. “We generally succeed,” she laughed. “Right out of the chute, we’re going to give people a really entertaining, folkadelic show.” There’s also an added benefit in Cribb’s opinion to grooving with Janie and Joe and Tambourine Sky. “When people support live, local music, they’re supporting the whole community,” she said.
FRIDAY
10:45 a.m.
Deano the Clown has a lot of jokes, lots of gags and lots of leg. Standing on stilts, Deano towers over the crowd while juggling and performing other clown skills. During his act on main stage, Deano brings up children for games, stories, balloon twisting, juggling, unicycling, magic, face painting, comedy swimming and skits. A Whidbey Island fair staple, Deano has been demonstrating his clown-know-how for years. He performs for all ages, at events ranging from children’s birthday celebrations to company parties.
Deano the Clown
SATURDAY
9:30 a.m., 5:30 p.m.
Langley’s best-known saxophonist will be around the fair all weekend, opening each day with the national anthem. He’ll have his time in the spotlight as well Saturday night at the Blackbox Theater. Ward, who has lived on Whidbey Island for 34 years, is known for his innovative jazz and funky, up-tempo tunes, which has had him on stage with music icons such as B.B. King, Lou Rawls and Richie “Alto Madness” Cole. A solo musician for over eight years, Ward can gear a performance to a variety of situations, ranging from soft, mood music for intimate get-togethers to more up-tempo tunes for parties, wedding receptions, and the like. He plays at Whidbey Island restaurants regularly.
SUNDAY
“Saxman” Danny Ward
11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m.
Balancing chickens on a perch from his mouth while juggling is what Matt Hohr calls “Chicken Olympics. “ He will put on his educational entertainment show 10 times over the course of the fair. The major crowd-pleaser draws about 70 people per show and is often a new experience for spectators. Hohr said only 10 percent of the viewers have seen his act before. Chicken Olympics includes juggling rubber chickens, the “Wheel of Doom,” chicken surfing and the “Teeter totter of Terror,” which chickens walk across. “What makes this show work is you’re in a chicken barn at the fair with two kids and cute animals doing crazy, stupid stuff, making people laugh,” Hohr said.

GAmeS CONTINUED FROM A1
“This is like village Scotland,” said Karen SheltonJohnson, the chairwoman of the games Highland dance competition. “This is more like being in the country; it’s warm and friendly.” The games drew people from across Washington and even beyond the international border with plenty of Canadians making the journey south to compete
in weight tossing, Highland dancing, archaic sword fighting, bagpiping and of course, caber tossing. Grunts and yells could be heard throughout the morning as modern-day Highlanders competed in various athletic events, including weight over the bar, weight throw, hammer throw and stone put. A family from Overland Park, Kan., made the stop one of its last before returning to the Midwest. The three Lindsey children — Graeme,
16, Quinn, 14, and Piper, 10 — took a special liking to the edgier activities like axe throwing. The siblings lined up about 12 feet away from three different tree rounds for targets and hurled their axes. “When we saw this 4,000 miles away, we thought, ‘Why not?’” said Susie Scott, their grandmother. Graeme had the best toss of the three, sinking the axe head into the round several times, while Quinn managed just a few. Their sister, Piper,
however, only hit her mark once. Though a bit anachronistic, a few sword fighters stretching from 10th-century viking to 14th-century knight donned their helms and armor and clashed for spectators. Only one of the warriors came as a Scottish knight. After one bout, Wayne Wright of Bellingham grabbed his side, wincing as he removed his helmet. “It does hurt,” Wright said. “It is exhausting in there.” Once the fighters opened

the ring to children, the line instantly grew 10 deep. Several of the would-be warriors came straight from the Highland dancing competition, many of them girls still wearing their kilts and competition number, and tried their hand at sword play. Highland dancing ran all day at the games, from 9 a.m. until the closing around 5 p.m. The traditional dances started with beginners and featured world-class Highland dancers in the afternoon. For the beginners, performing on stage was a true delight. “It’s really fun to be in competitions and get prizes,” said
Flora Cummings, 9, of Lake Forest Park. Flora, her 6-year-old sister Elinor, mom Judith Cummings and dad Dale Cummings later performed as the Fiddle Fitted Cummings. Judith Cummings, a Scotland native, said similar events back home are much larger and she enjoyed the Whidbey games for its toned-down nature. “It’s a lot smaller and more intimate,” Cummings said. Wares were plentiful, from flags with Scottish family seals and crests to fully-functional handcrafted longbows.
Justin Burnett / The Record
State Department of Ecology officials Louise Bardy and Eugene Freeman show a section of a holed underground fuel tank during a Freeland Water and Sewer District meeting Monday. Thousands of gallons of gasoline leaked through a similar hole in a former Freeland gas station.

just to be sure. It’s still not clear how far the plume has spread and they will provide a better picture about concentrations and distance traveled. Freeman said the new wells will be placed in locations believed to be ahead of the fuel plume. Immediate contamination results may dictate the need for additional wells, he said. “Basically, with each step we’re trying to figure out where the head of the plume is,” Freeman said. He stressed that ecology’s role in the wells is largely advisory. The bill and the work is the responsibility of the former station’s owner. Also unclear is the quantity of fuel spilled. Louise Bardy, Voluntary Cleanup Program supervisor, confirmed last week a leakage of 7,000 gallons, but revised that to just 3,000 gallons at Monday’s meeting. Several people questioned her on the discrepancy and she said the latter number is the only figure she could find in ecology documents before the meeting.
An attachment to a June 3 letter from ecology regulators to the station owner’s hired consulting firm shows the release as 7,000 gallons. In an interview following the meeting, Bardy said she could not be certain of the true number but, according to Freeman, a 5,000-gallon difference is inconsequential. It may seem like a lot, but underground fuel-tank leaks are common and some are much larger by comparison. He cited one case that resulted in a spill in excess of 16,000 gallons. Freeman noted that while drilling wells could begin within one month, the timeline will depend on agreements with private property owners. Commissioner Eric Hansen said the district may not wait solely on ecology for news and may “do some investigation ourselves.” That will likely include watching for contaminants in district wells, though just how often will depend on the data revealed by the new wells. “Routine testing at our wells will be important,” Hansen said.
