Proposed fair PDA: how it works, what it is
Swanson reigns supreme
Fair management would be independent from county

nothing in between. The incident resulted in Doug Coutts, executive director of the parks district, calling the Island County Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 27. Swanson was issued a trespassing citation which came with a one-year ban from the parks properties. Had the ban been upheld, Swanson would have been forbidden from coaching soccer which he has done for the past eight years. It also may have meant he would not have been able to watch his high school-age son play. About 30 people crowded the district’s meeting room, with a handful of South Whidbey High School soccer players lining the back wall. Ten people spoke in support
The fate of one of Whidbey Island’s long-standing festivals is up in the air. Whidbey Island Area Fair’s date change to the end of July conflicts with Greenbank Farm’s annual Loganberry Festival and prompted Greenbank Farm and Port of Coupeville officials to cancel this year’s event. “We’ve suspended Loganberry because the world has changed around us,” said Greenbank Farm Executive Director Judy Feldman. “We’re simply responding to a change. This is a sad day for us.” The conflicts from the fair’s date change were various, Feldman said. It wasn’t one exact thing that caused the cancellation. A big factor was both events showcased 4-H groups; the members would have to choose between events. Other considerations were vendors, sponsors and volunteer time. “This will be a chance for us to find out how important the festival is to people,” Feldman said. Before making the decision to suspend the event, Feldman said farm and port officials looked at every possibility, including moving the date, but could not find one that would work. Greenbank Farm is run by a management group, and the contract for that group is coming up for review next year. Feldman said while the festival is suspended this year, she’s not sure what the future

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The Island Event Center Development Authority, the proposed name for the agency that would own and operate the Island County Fairgrounds, would have near autonomy from the county. As part of the proposal to overhaul the fairgrounds in Langley over four phases and 10 years, Island County would create a public development authority, a quasipublic agency tasked with managing the property and its facilities. Island County would transfer ownership of the 12.8 acre fairgrounds to the authority, effectively removing public ownership, according to members of the steering committee that developed the proposal. Some notable public development authorities include the Pike Place Market in Seattle and the Woodland Park Zoo, both of which were once city-run spaces. “They’re a good vehicle to use when you’ve got a good public asset,” said Paul Schell, a member of the steering committee and owner of the Inn at Langley. Schell was also the mayor of Seattle from 1998 to 2001 and worked with prominent public development authorities. “The county is not in the business of running fairs,” SEE FAIR, A20

Terry Swanson pleads his case to the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District commissioners Thursday night. He was issued a one-year ban for trespassing after parks staff said he refused to relocate and ignored their request to stay within a designated area. Swanson said the area was too small and it made more sense to rotate field use.
Parks board reinstates soccer coach’s privileges By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Calling it regrettable and a misunderstanding, the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District commissioners unanimously voted Thursday night to lift a one-year parks ban on Terry Swanson. The parks district banned Swanson after he refused to relocate an informal training session in late February to another field at the Sports Complex. It was quite a scene at the typically quiet parks office as the public hearing quickly turned into a battle between a perceived restriction to park access by soccer players, parents and coaches. Before the vote was cast, Swanson walked out saying they were going to vote how they’d vote, but he wanted them to give him a full one-year ban or lift it —

Diavonte DeGrace, 13, explains his presentation during the Langley Middle School Science Fair on Thursday, March 6. Diavonte studied how different rocks were damaged at freezing temperatures.
Curiosity was key for students in Langley Middle School’s Science Fair on Thursday night. Students from the sixth, seventh and eighth grade presented their conclusions after months of research. The students began working on the projects in late November, as instructed by middle school science teachers Sandy Gilbert, Susan Milan and Don Zisette. Students were judged on their relevance of topic, a testable question, procedures and variables, display of data, and conclusion supported by the data. Three winners from each grade were chosen along with five honorable mentions. The winners for the eighth grade are firstplace winner Emma Scotthanson, second place Elli Sandberg and third place Lily Bjork. Honorable mentions include Ben Borson, Charlie LeWarne, Aengus Dubendorf, Tristan Passemard and Lewis Pope. Seventh-grade awards include first-place winner Farriss Jokinen, second place Ainsley Nelson and third place Annie Saltee.

Wonn Road beach access settlement possible, sources say By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Nearly one year after Island County filed a civil lawsuit against a Greenbank property owner over a wall constructed at the end of Wonn Road, a settlement offer may be on the table. Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Bruce Montgomery, the homeowner at the center of the property dispute, has offered the county $100,000 to end legal proceedings. He declined to address specifics in an interview Thursday, but Montgomery said that’s the amount he believes it will cost him to continue duking it out in court with county lawyers, and that he’d rather the money be spent on another property for public use. “To me that’s a win-win,” Montgomery said. “If I can settle for the amount I would spend on legal fees … I would be happy to settle this case.” Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks declined to discuss or even confirm the existence of a settlement offer, as the case remains under litigation. Attorneys for Island Beach Access, an advocacy group composed of Whidbey residents that filed as interveners with the county in the lawsuit against Montgomery, also remained mum on the topic. They did, however, confirm that no such offer was extended to the Whidbey Island-based group. “He [Montgomery] has not called us or discussed it with us at all,” said Claudia Newman, of the Seattle-based law firm Bricklin & Newman, LLP. The squabble over Wonn Road began in 2008 when Montgomery, a pharmaceutical magnate, built a rock wall at the end of Wonn Road. The road end is adjacent to his

Montgomery claims the wall was constructed to keep people from driving on his drain field, which is located in the grassy area between the end of Wonn Road and the beach and shoreline. Longtime Greenbank residents and other beach access proponents raised the alarm, claiming the beach and tidelands were public property. In 2009, the Island County Commissioners agreed with that position and agreed to challenge the claim and do whatever it takes to reclaim and preserve the former beach access. The promise languished on the shelf until March 6, 2013, when county officials announced the research needed for an effective case was complete and filed suit. Now, almost one year later, Montgomery maintains he is “very comfortable” with his legal position.

erty for that anymore?” While Montgomery has stood largely alone against
the county and Island Beach Access, his solo fight is about to end. “The beach itself is not exclusively owned by yours truly,” he said. He claims some of the waterfront in question belongs to a total of 30 property owners in the area known as Greenbank Tract 1. At least nine, he said, have agreed to join the lawsuit as interveners on his side. Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, a member of the board that first agreed to move forward with the lawsuit, said she remains resolute in reclaiming the property. Public beach access should not be denied by private property owners, said Price Johnson, and her decision years ago was a line drawn in the sand. “It’s a policy statement,” she said.

COUNTY Landslide alert issued by NWS Heavy rainfall over the past week and a prediction of up to three more inches Friday led the National Weather Service to issue a landslide warning to Whidbey Island on Wednesday. According to a weather statement sent out Wednesday, between one and six inches of rain fell over the past three days, which adds pressure to soil instability. “Cumulative rainfall over the last week has soaked soils to the point where the Washington landslide risk level is at elevated levels and increasing,” said the statement. “The predicted rainfall might be enough to act as a trigger for landslides.” Steep coastal bluffs, like those around Whidbey Island and other steep hillsides are most susceptible, according to the statement.

Fee increased for law library The Island County commissioners green lighted the county law library’s request to increase case filing fees from $17 to $20 to support the struggling operation. Librarian Tom Karras also reduced his hours by five per week, at a cost savings of $4,000 per year. Karras previously took a pay cut to assist the library. State law requires that each county with a population of 8,000 or more have a county law library. The law library is open for the public and the legal community to access materials for legal research. Legal materials must be used in the library and are not available for check out by the public due to the small size of the library collection. Library staff can assist visitors with locating materials but cannot give legal advice. The library also offers three computers that are available for legal research databases.
Court house bids sought for security Island County is accepting bids for security services at the Law
and Justice Building in Coupeville through April 1. Olympic Security Services has staffed the entry point screening at the building since 2001, but according to county code General Services must periodically request bids from other contractors. Based on current staffing, the contract will cost Island County up to $52,000 for services in 2014. The security checkpoint is staffed 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday except holidays. Mondays and Wednesdays, the checkpoint has two screeners. The request for proposals would be advertised in March, and bids would be accepted through the April 1 deadline for a contract beginning June 1.
Park grants for Trillium, Glendale Island County parks is partnering with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust to submit grant applications through the state’s Recreation and Conservation Office to the Local Parks Grant Program. The partnership will apply for a grant for a parcel adjacent to Trillium Community Forest totaling approximately $370,000, which would be used for trail development and the construction of two parking lots. They are also requesting grants to purchase two properties at Glendale which would provide beach access, parking and a public boat ramp. The Glendale grants total roughly $900,000 to be used for purchase, demolition and parking lot construction.

Langley City Council approves ethics code By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Hoping to avoid “frivolous” claims and witch hunts, the Langley City Council approved the long-wrought ethics code Monday night but declined to establish a standing board to hear complaints. The ethics code approval was not without some dissent. Margot Jerome, elected to the council in November, questioned the interpretation of a letter submitted by the people who crafted the code, and asked to table the issue. She wanted the Municipal Resource and Services Center of Washington, a government reference guide, to take a look at the code and the letter. Jerome voted against the code, but the policy document was adopted in a 4-1 decision. She was concerned an ad-hoc ethics committee would lack full separation from Langley City Hall, and thus may not appear to be outside the city’s influence. “We just need to make sure we do this thing right,” Jerome said. Originally proposed by former councilman Hal Seligson, who did not seek re-election in favor of realizing his retirement last fall, the now disbanded ethics commission was filled with Mayor Fred McCarthy’s appointees. In its last act as an assembled group, the ethics commission submitted a letter to the city explaining that it did not think a standing ethics board would best serve the small city. McCarthy agreed with
that decision when it was first submitted in late 2014, and reasserted his support at the recent council meeting. One of his concerns, echoed by some city council members, was that a standing ethics board — one that met regularly like the Planning Advisory Board or the Design Review Board — would be wasted time, or worse, encourage a witch hunt of sorts for ethics violations. McCarthy maintained that most of the time, ethics issues could be resolved by the mayor. If an ethics violation was brought against the mayor, McCarthy said the city could draw upon the original ethics commission members, Langley residents and South Whidbey community members to review the claim. In recent years, Langley has had a spotted history with its top elected official and ethics related incidents. Former mayor Larry Kwarsick was forced out of office after falsifying a city document. He served two weeks in jail for the crime. Prior to that, former mayor Paul Samuelson was embroiled in controversy over vacation pay. Planning chief Jeff Arango, the whistleblower who exposed Kwarsick, supported the decision to forgo a standing ethics board, saying the prior reporting system was effective at protecting him. “At least in my perspective, it worked,” he said, later adding that he was worried a standing board could encourage “frivolous” claims being made.

Work on the South Whidbey Harbor expansion project is largely complete and officials are preparing for a soft opening later this month.
Nearly finished, South Whidbey Harbor soft opening planned By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record The lights are on and workers are preparing for the first round of boats in the expanded area of South Whidbey Harbor, scheduled to open later this month. Construction at South Whidbey Harbor has reached substantial completion, which means major work by contractor Mike Carlson Enterprises has concluded and the dock is functional. Port of South Whidbey
Project Manager Ed Field is working with contractors toward approval of occupancy with the City of Langley in preparation for a soft opening planned for late March. After the soft opening, workers will complete tasks best suited for warm and dry weather, such as sealing the deck and painting. “We’ll be operating as quietly as we can at full capacity,” Field said. One of the last major hurdles for the project was the approval of signs at the marina, which was recently given by the city.
The signs feature informational and directional guidance on both land and water leading to the marina. The design was done by Jay Davenny of Clinton. The expansion project, which began in May 2013, adds 400 feet of dock space to South Whidbey Harbor. The $1.7 million project by the Port of South Whidbey adds space for larger boats to use the facility, including room for groups and yacht clubs. The project has run into a series of hurdles, from sunken barges and the loss of a crane to unexpected

costs and discoveries. A grand opening is planned for April 25 with attendance from Congressman Rick Larsen, a Second District democrat. “We’re focused on getting the place finished up and opened up,” Field said.

Editorial Unruly soccer coach and free pass set a poor example It appears South Whidbey soccer coach Terry Swanson’s time on the bench was short-lived. At a special meeting Thursday, South Whidbey Parks and Recreation commissioners unanimously agreed to lift his oneyear ban from district facilities and planned to revise internal rules/policies concerning field use so as to avoid similar problems in the future. This decision, perhaps, was not the best one. The policies in question may need an overhaul, and Swanson has shown himself to be an excellent coach and valued member of the community — he was highlighted in The Record’s Hometown Hero series in 2007 — but what the board demonstrated to the public, and more importantly to kids on the team, is that the rules don’t always apply, especially when they are considered silly or unnecessary and broken by a well-regarded community leader. Last month, district officials temporarily suspended activities on a field Swanson has used since the start of soccer season. The field, and others, were closed due to heavy rains, which softens the turf and makes it more susceptible to damage from heavy use. Swanson was asked to relocate, but he refused. In fact, district officials allege he disregarded multiple staff directions. Eventually, an Island County Sheriff’s deputy was called and Swanson was presented with a trespassing citation. Following existing policy, Swanson was subsequently banned from district fields for a period of one year. In Wednesday’s edition of The Record, Swanson expressed frustration that many of the Sports Complex fields were closed for athletic use and called his actions “a case of civil disobedience.” Swanson’s comment merits a chuckle and perhaps a smile of understanding. Everyone has at one time or another defied a policy or rule they disagreed with. It’s like the underage driver who sneaks dad’s car out for a spin in the middle of the night because he believes he’s old enough to drive. But in this case, Swanson was busted, and instead of getting grounded the parks board agreed with his point of view, tossed aside the rules and allowed him to go his way. Rules are a part of life, and we’re all asked to live by them, even state title-winning soccer coaches. The athletes who look to Swanson for leadership would have been far better served had he demonstrated how to address his grievances by bringing them to the board for redress rather than with an overt display of “civil disobedience.” Also, a one-year ban is excessive — even six months is probably too much — but the board’s decision to give Swanson a free pass sets the wrong example.

IC Comprehensive plan needs beach access signs Editor, Recently I attended a hearing to give public input on the transportation element of Island County’s Comprehensive Plan. The “Comp Plan” serves as the policy document which will shape growth and development here over the next 20 years. I wasn’t able to get on the agenda, but I believe all of us can support a request to include in the plan identification of public beach access points. I am a resident of Island County, yet I get confused when I try to locate public access points to our shoreline where my grandson and I can go dig in the sand. I know from the book, “Getting to the Water’s Edge” that there are many public access points in Island County. I also know from organizations like IslandBeachAccess.org that many points are not in the book and not clearly identified.
I ought to be able to know without difficulty the locations of all of my public beach access points. Identifying these points with signage is the first step. The signage does not have to be huge, such as the very small signs along the path from the Sunnyside Cemetery in Coupeville to the bluff at Ebey’s Landing. These signs are so very small, yet they do the job. They tell me, and they signify to property owners in the vicinity of the path, that I am walking on a public right of way. Clear signage not only helps me know where to go, it also helps me when I am in conversation with a landowner who may be misinformed or simply isn’t knowledgeable about any particular public access point. Signage makes things clear for me and nearby landowners. Signage is missing from many locations, which are in fact road ends, and/ or otherwise public access points. We must be accountable to all our residents. Everyone is better served — the walking public and the landowners in the vicinity — when beach access

Commissioners deserve kudos for Wonn Road stand Editor, Just about one year ago, Island County finally filed its lawsuit against property owners on either side of Wonn Road which has been a public beach access since before statehood in 1889.

Yvonne Smith
Yvonne Franklin Smith Yvonne Franklin Smith, of Langley, Wash., passed peacefully March 4, 2014 surrounded by her loving
family. In attendance with her throughout her transition were her daughter Dana Consuelo of Virginia Beach, Va.; grandson Joshua Cutler, his wife Mary and Yvonne’s greatgranddaughter Charlotte of Seattle; grandson Abe Cutler of South Korea, grandson Daniel Cutler of Langley, grandson Geoffrey Cutler of San Francisco and former son-in-law Sandi Cutler of Edmonds. She was born Nov. 17, 1923 on a farm in Tahlequah, Okla., the seat of the Cherokee Indian nation. She spent her formative years in the sunshine state of California. She was of English and Cherokee descent. Her career of more than 30 years included working in the nation’s capitol where she was a correspondent for NW newspapers, a press secretary for Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon and a legislative assistant
to Congressman Al Quie of Minnesota. Quie gave her Indian Education Legislation to handle. After traveling extensively to visit and interview tribal leaders, she wrote legislation for the Indian Education Bill that passed in 1978. In the same year she was given an award by the tribal leaders of the Indian Education Association to thank her for her work on their behalf. She retired to Cambria, Calif., in 1983 and then moved to Whidbey Island in 1991 to live nearer to her family and to write her memoirs. The family is grateful to her friend and assistant Vickie Anderson for all her loving care these past few years — to Thanatologist Claudia Walker, for her gift of harp music, and Annapoorne Colangelo for her prayerful presence and to all Yvonne’s friends in the Brookhaven community.

Wrestling coach taps out after 12 years
Briefly Wanted: Falcon football coach Leierer, Heggenes, Hodson and Davis: those are the men who coached South Whidbey Falcon football for the past 50-plus years. Who will be next in a short line of succession? Andy Davis and Mark Hodson resigned as the co-head coaches of the football team last week after 14 years running the program. The head coaching job was posted Thursday, March 6, by the South Whidbey School District, and is expected to be filled by the school’s spring break in early-April. Coaching the Falcons comes with a stipend between $4,278 and $4,721, depending on the applicant’s experience. The money is a bit disproportionate to the work, according to the outgoing coaches, who left because the time commitment was interfering with their time with family. Davis and Hodson likened being the co-head coaches to another full-time job in terms of hours spent on football activities from mid-August to early November. Applicants for the South Whidbey job are expected to know football, develop the district-
wide program, work with students, school administration, staff and parents, motivate athletes and promote the team in the community. Athletic Director Kelly Kirk said that, contrary to popular belief, no priority is given to district staff or faculty. “We’d love it if the coach was a teacher in the building, but we don’t know if that’ll happen,” Kirk said. Deadline for applications is Friday, April 4. Interviews are tentatively scheduled for April 21-25. The vacancy will be the second filled by Kirk in his first year at South Whidbey High School. He hired Scott Collins to coach the boys basketball team in 2013.
Youth soccer club signups continue South Whidbey Youth Soccer Club registration is open for the spring season, from late March through early June for most ages. Details and registration information can be found at www.swysc.com. At most, registration costs $92 for ages 5-7 and $127 for ages 8-13, which includes uniforms. Fees are less for players who were registered for the fall season and still have those uniforms. It closes March 9.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Spending several full Saturdays at wrestling tournaments for the past 12 years finally proved too much for Jim Thompson, South Whidbey High School’s head wrestling coach. He said Friday that he planned to quit soon, a sentiment echoed from the team’s awards banquet in late February. Thompson has neither submitted nor written a letter of resignation. “I haven’t turned the paperwork in, yet,” he said. “I’m done. [Assistant coach Paul] Newman says one more year. I say, ‘No, no. One more year begets one more year, begets one more year, begets one more year.’ ” Falcon athletic director Kelly Kirk, a week after getting word that the football co-head coaches had quit, said he had not heard from Thompson his intent to leave the Falcons. He also joked that the nature of the wrestling season, one that favors weekend tournaments over weekday head-to-head contests, often wears thin on coaches by the end of the year.
Ben Watanabe / Record file
Jim Thompson, the head coach of the South Whidbey Falcon wrestling team, plans to resign for the upcoming season. He coached the Falcons for 12 years, including several seasons with one of his sons on the team. “About every wrestling coach I know over the years, it’s such a long, grueling season, that at the end of it they’re like, ‘I can’t do this any more,’ ” Kirk said. Kirk empathized with the strain the wrestling season puts on coaches, especially given that a Saturday tournament for one of South Whidbey’s teams involves an early wake up and departure because of the ferry travel. For Thompson, being
passionate for his wrestlers and the sport also took its toll. During a dual meet, the wrestlers each have their one match and are done, but the coaches are there on the side, yelling and cheering with them. “When you’re a coach, you’re wrestling every match,” Thompson said. “It’s so personal. It’s just you and that kid. Win or lose, you feel the ecstasy or their despair. It’s mentally exhausting … At
Spring sports draw nearly half of SWHS students By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record For first-year Athletic Director Kelly Kirk, spring has been a great sports season so far. The season started Monday, March 3 and nearly half of the South Whidbey High School student body is registered for one of the eight teams. Out of the 490 students, 215 turned out for spring sports this year — an improvement from the 193 Falcons in 2013. Track and field under second-year head coach Mark Eager has the largest draw and saw the biggest gain from last year’s roster with about 75 students signed up. “That’s certainly a big driver behind
the numbers,” Kirk said, who added that the coaches’ enthusiasm for their sports has galvanized athletes. “That comes through on the kids and gets them excited.” Asked if he or the district had implemented a “get out and be active” drive for students’ athletic participation, Kirk laughed. “I wish I could claim that, but it was much more organic than that,” he said. “It’s a small town and there’s not a lot to do; might as well get out and play sports.” Boys golf head coach Steve Jones said he had 18 students registered, comparable to the number he had last year. New for him was a large influx of freshmen — seven — whom he hoped

would be led by a pair of seniors who played on the team for four years. “They’re going to be really good role models,” Jones said of the seniors. About 40 girls were in the girls tennis program, said Kirk, who called the team a South Whidbey “institution” with head coach Karyle Kramer. The spring season offers more sports than fall and winter with eight teams: boys and girls track and field, boys and girls golf, boys soccer, girls tennis, baseball and softball. Spring also carries a higher attrition rate as the season reaches into May when weather typically turns from rain to sunshine and the possibility of a postseason becomes better defined.

the end of a tournament your neck’s tight, your shoulders are tight.” He learned that lesson well in 2011 when his son Evan qualified for the state 2A tournament. In the state-qualifier, the match was stopped by the referee because of a hit Evan took to his head. “It almost got stopped because we thought he might have had a concussion,” Thompson recalled. “The ref asked me if he was OK to go on. Evan looked in my eyes, I looked in his, and he said he was good to go.” Thompson also said he was frustrated with some of the South Whidbey School District policies and pay for coaches. He noted that he did not receive a per diem, per school policy, for the regional round in Blaine. Usually he covers some of his athletes’ meals on the long trips, Thompson said. “You coach for the love of the kids,” he said. “But you should still get paid for your time and not go out of pocket, which all coaches do. Give me 12 bucks to have lunch or something.”

Island County to roll out permit tracking By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record In a few months, Island County residents will be able to track their permit applications online. In roughly six months, residents will be able to complete the applications online as well. Island County staff members started training this week on SmartGov, a new browser-based software that the public should have roundthe-clock access to in about three months, according to Planning Director David Wechner. Currently permit applications must be made at the Coupeville or Camano Island county offices in person and by appointment. “For Camano and anyone who lives in a far-flung part of the county, this is a good thing,” Wechner said. SmartGov is an upgraded version of the software currently used by the county called Interlocking. Wechner said the county purchased Interlocking at the end of its support life in 2011 with the upgrade to SmartGov in mind. The cost of the software and training will cost the county roughly $24,000. In addition to permit application and tracking, the public will be able to request inspections and download documents. The software contains a GIS mapping component as well. “You’ll be able to open a map, click on a permit and see what’s going on,” Wechner said. Elements of public works and public health department
services will also be trackable online by staff and the public. The intention is to improve efficiency allowing staff to more easily create permit documents, make notes on each application and populate “to-do lists” for inspections and application tasks, Wechner said. “What it’s going to allow is better tracking of permits as they come into the system,” Wechner said. “The reporting functions are better than what we have now.” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson has been a proponent of the new software to better address the county’s permit work load. “The county needs to get better in this area,” Price Johnson said. “It is my goal for the county to improve the current process for permit review to make it both more effective and efficient in use of county staff time, and make the process more predictable, transparent and customer service-oriented for our community.” At recent discussions about re-opening county offices on Fridays, Price Johnson has mentioned that the SmartGov software will address some of the workload bottleneck and be a key component in making that possible. “Opening on Fridays without these improvements could have the opposite effect, and negatively impact the current permit review process,” Price Johnson said. “SmartGov is an important investment because it creates an improved platform for the county’s permit processing.”

HUB, an after-school hangout for youths between sixth to 12th grades on the South End. The series brings chefs from around South Whidbey to show students their potential in cooking. HUB Program Manager Frankie Petitclerc said she started the culinary course this year because she thought cooking was an important skill for students to learn.
“Everyone needs to know how to cook in life,” she said. “It gives them confidence. Some kids go home and don’t know how to make food.” The program gathered the talents of four chefs on South Whidbey: Gerry Woolery of Gerry’s Kitchen, Vincent Nattress of Cultivar, Gordon Stewart Jr. of Gordon’s on Blueberry Hill and John Auburn of JW Desserts.

In the upcoming weeks, the lessons will cover how to make chicken, pasta, pizza and a dessert. The series began March 4 and continues on Tuesdays through March 25. The series kicked off with Woolery, a chef at his restaurant. Students learned to roast, fry and make broth and stock with chicken in the home economics classroom at Langley Middle School. For some students, it was their first time handling a chicken, but others were seasoned regulars. Joseph Vechnak, 11, broke chicken bones for his first time. “I like cooking,” he said. “But I haven’t made chicken before, and I’m excited to learn.” Eight students listened to Woolery as he demonstrated his techniques to dice up a chicken into cookable parts. “The most dangerous thing in a kitchen is a dull knife,” Woolery said as he cut through the chicken to reach a joint. Tyler Clark, 17, easily found the places to cut and break the chicken bone that Woolery showed. For Tyler, the class was a way to practice some of his established cooking skills. “I’m kinda into cooking and thought it would be fun to make something new,” he added. Woolery thought he had some useful information for students to learn, after cooking for more than 50 years. He wanted to pass that knowledge on, especially how to save money. Woolery wanted students to learn how to take apart a chicken to save money in the future. A chicken breast cut
off from chicken at home is about $1 per pound, but at the supermarket it can be up to $5 a pound. “Someday they’ll be in college, out on their own and hungry. This is a good way to feed yourself,” he said. “We used everything.” Woolery was excited to see the students get involved with their meals. Each had a different take from the lesson, he said. One student was fascinated with the skeleton of the chicken and asked to take it home to study, he said. “They broke it down as well as I did the first time,” he said. “Someday somebody is going to put a whole chicken in front of these kids, and I want them to say, ‘Yeah, I can cook that,’” he said. “That was the whole idea of the class, not to be intimidated.” Providing the chance to experience new things is what the HUB strives for with its students. The program supplies one meal a day for students after school and relies on help from donations, fundraising, grants and volunteers. The series marks a resurgence for the program, which reopened in 2012 after a fourmonth closure. Since reopening, the program is back to providing a place for teenagers five days a week. Last month the HUB averaged about 25 students a day, nearing its high of 38 students. “We try as best as we can to give as many opportunities as we can,” Petitclerc said. Spots for the cooking series are still available. For more information about the program, contact Frankie Petitclerc at thehub@whidbey. com or 360-221-0969. Cost is $10 per class, and scholarships are also available.

Added Eric Hood, a parent: “The ban itself is not warranted, in fact it’s ludicrous.” Coutts ran through the recent history between Swanson and the parks district, reading through a string of emails the two men exchanged leading to the ban. Swanson had asked that a pair of full-size goals be set up on one of the fields, though he did not submit an official field use request. In an email on Feb. 25, Coutts told Swanson, “I would like to stress that the goals are not to be moved.

of lifting the ban and resolving what they perceived as a problem with field usage. Some parents spoke about the need for field rotation during the season to avoid excessive wear on any one of the six fields at the Sports Complex. One parent of a soccer player chided the parks district for having the police called on Swanson. “To be pulled out by the sheriff’s call is wrong,” said Crispin Roberts.

We sank a mower up there due to the softness of the fields today and I do not want play in any other areas.” Later, Coutts wrote he would ask to have full-size goals switched onto the field if the conditions allowed. The next day, Feb. 26, Coutts told Swanson in an email that it was “evident that you used areas around the goals instead of only working between the goals. I specifically identified … that you were not to play in any other areas.” At the end of the email, Coutts revoked Swanson’s permission to use the parks district fields. At the meeting, Coutts reasserted that he was clear with what field use was permitted to Swanson. “I specified that I did not want the goals moved or any other areas of the field used,” Coutts told the parks commissioners. “My rationale for calling

a designated area which he claimed was smaller than half of a full soccer pitch. Besides the setup field being too small for the 18 high school players that planned to train with him Feb. 27, Swanson said it made more sense to move to the open, full-size field that had not been played on regularly this winter. “I’m not apologizing for using those fields,” Swanson said. Later he added: “I’m very cognizant of field wear …
I’m a geologist. I know about erosion.” “If I had to do it again, I would do it again.” Parks Chairman Don Wood brought up the issue that Swanson was told to stay in the designated area and had already been issued a written refusal to use the fields. Wood acknowledged that a yearlong ban seemed “harsh,” but was concerned that lifting the ban entirely would remove authority from the parks staff to ask someone to leave the property. “There was never any denial to play, only relocation,” Wood said. Eventually, the matter was brought to a vote by Commissioner Mark Helpenstell and seconded by Commissioner Joel Gerlach. All five of them voted to lift the ban. Commissioner Matt Simms said during the board’s conversation that he found other parks districts with facility user codes of conduct that he would like to implement in the future. He also said that other parks districts use a threestep violation process, noting that a first-time offense usually warranted a 24-hour, 48-hour or weeklong ban, not a full year.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS, AND CAPRICORN.
Week of March 9 to 15, 2014 ARIES
You might hear about a birth in the family. You may stumble over a golden opportunity concerning an apartment or a house.
TAURUS
You feel very motivated to change vehicles, or you are invited to go on a trip. At work, you have to negotiate with people who don’t speak English very well.
GEMINI
You find solutions for all your financial problems. At work, you may be given a promotion and receive a big salary increase.
CANCER
There is lots of action on the horizon. You do a lot of shopping and treat yourself to a bit of luxury. Take this opportunity to renew your wardrobe and give yourself a new look.
LEO
You may have a sudden flash concerning your professional future. You succeed in setting aside your fears in order to take some significant steps.
VIRGO
The invitations are just flying in! You’re a popular person with your friends and colleagues. You increase your client base considerably.
LIBRA
You should get the go ahead from your bank manager to acquire a property or finance a project that’s close to your heart. Your future is suddenly a lot more interesting.
SCORPIO
You’re sure to organize a last minute trip. You really need to recharge your batteries and take some time to think about a few situations that are worrying you.
SAGITTARIUS
It’s by surmounting new challenges that you develop to your full potential. No matter what the project, you should put your whole heart into it to make it succeed.
CAPRICORN
On a romantic level, the thought of marriage may very well cross your mind. At work, be careful not to involve yourself emotionally so that you can negotiate objectively.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

FAIR CONTINUED FROM A1
Schell said. “[Likewise] the city said, ‘We’re not in the business of running a market.’ “ Once in possession of the property, the Island Event Center Development Authority could borrow money against the estate by selling revenue bonds to finance its $10.12 million renovation, construction and upgrade plan. While tax
exempt, the risk of revenue bonds is that if they went into default, the property could be seized by the bond holders. Schell said the risk of the property being lost exists even if nothing is done. Fair organizers claim the cost of maintenance and running the annual event exceeds revenue intake. “The county doesn’t have the money to improve it,” said Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, also a member of the steering committee. “The county would have to let it go
to see that space thrive.” Island County, however, would be free of any action taken against it by the authority’s creditors. “It’s basically taking out of politics something that is public,” Schell said. “It’s public enterprise.” The authority would be governed by a board of directors initially appointed by the Island County commissioners. An exact number of directors was not established in the proposal or given by members of the steering
committee. After the initial appointments, the authority’s board would nominate future directors, though Schell said the county commissioners would have the final say. “This is not envisioned to be an operation to get Uncle Bill from down the street to go and run,” McCarthy said. Island Event Center directors would oversee the executive administrator, slated to make between $97,000 and $115,000 in the proposal. McCarthy said the executive administrator would be

responsible for the other 13 event center employees — a marketing/sales manager, a facilities manager, an administrative assistant, a clerical/secretarial employee, a grounds lead, seven part-time maintenance laborers and a part-time clerk — as well as projecting the economics of the property and its events, marketing and leadership. The proposed personnel expense, including benefits, was estimated at $621,810. On page 55 of the draft strategic plan, the operations and maintenance expense is tabbed at $1,130,987, however it is projected that up to the 10-year build-out it would
bring in $933,175 in retained earnings. After unveiling the proposal publicly Feb. 18 and hearing a wave of concerns and questions about demolishing more than half of the existing structures and the project’s financing, Schell and McCarthy each said the steering committee decided to schedule more public hearings. “The first step is, ‘Is this a good idea?’ ” Schell said. “There needs to be some trust here and understanding that everybody’s goal is to keep the fair going. How we get there is the challenge.”
FESTIVAL CONTINUED FROM A1
will hold because she doesn’t know if the same management group will still be operating the farm. “We can’t really make bold promises without knowing the future,” she said. Coupeville Chamber Director Lynda Eccles, who serves on Island County’s tourism board, said she was sad to hear of the festival’s cancellation. “It’s no easy decision to make,” she said. “It could not be an easy decision for them.” The impacts on tourism remain unclear, said Eccles, but the community will likely feel the greatest loss. “There will be some disappointed people,” she said. “It’s always been a popular event.” “It’s part of Central Whidbey tradition,” she added. That said, Eccles said there are a lot of events throughout the summer and the people who come to the island will still stop at Greenbank Farm. “It’s a huge draw,” she said. The Loganberry Festival was started by Chateau Ste. Michelle prior to the Port of Coupeville’s purchase of the farm in 1997. Greenbank Farm was established as a dairy farm in 1904 and the first loganberries were planted in 1943. At one time the farm was the largest loganberry farm in the United States. It’s not a major fundraiser, but gives the opportunity to gather the community together and celebrate the farm, Feldman said. The management group is working with tenants at the farm to discuss ideas for other ways to bring the community together and celebrate the farm. Several ideas are in discussion, but Feldman said the farm isn’t ready to release them.
