Kidding season begins on South Whidbey
Langley to reconsider scrubbing standing ethics committee
By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Yes, they are as cute as they look. Their cries, their little wagging tails, their bids for attention: it’s the whole package and Vicky Brown, owner of Little Brown Farm in Freeland, sums it up best. “They are ridiculously adorable,” Brown said. “My problem is every single one is my favorite.” Brown specializes in goat products and March marks the start of kidding season. The first batch arrived this past Friday and South Whidbey residents have been cooing over Facebook pictures ever since. “Oh....my....God. Cutest thing on the planet,” said one commenter. “I want them all” and “Cuteness overload,” said two others. Such sentiments were just a few of the awws and oohs expressed on the farm’s first Facebook post, which as of Monday afternoon had received 135 likes. Many also expressed excitement and anticipation over what they know comes next. Every year, once the new babies are a few weeks old, Brown opens her doors and allows the public to come bottle feed the infant Nubian goats. Hours are 3 p.m. daily, beginning April 1, at 1377 Barr Road. A dozen kids have been born so far, and Brown is expecting about 20 more. That’s usually enough for SEE GOATS, A12

And Atlantis wasn’t invited to just compete at the Black Sea competition held in mid-August in Constanta, Romania. The group, who range in age from 13 to 17, were asked to be the keynote speakers. “They’ve basically gone from a kitchen table in Freeland on Whidbey Island to the Black Sea.” “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Ashley McConnaughey, the team’s chaperone and mother of Atlantis members Hannah and Haley. For several months each year, for the past several years, Bob and Ashley McConnaughey’s Freeland home has been lost under a pile of PVC joints, wires, metal tubes and documents. The dining room table is covered with ROV materials, all organized in plastic bags and plastic
Facing questions and pressure from four members of the disbanded Langley Ethics Commission, the city council agreed Monday night to take another look at its ethics code and ethics training. Ann Medlock spearheaded the effort to get the Langley City Council to reconsider its decision to remove a standing ethics board. “The commission voted to have one, it was in the code,” Medlock said in a phone interview before the city council meeting. “It was a tight argument, pros and cons.” “Given Langley’s history, the votes prevailed that we needed an ethics board,” she added. Earlier in March, the city council approved the amended ethics policy that struck an ethics board from the process, opting instead to handle an ethical concerns within City Hall or, if necessary, assembling an ad-hoc committee to review issues outside the city government. Having the ethics board be part of the city structure was a sticking point for the original ethics commission. In the commission’s letter dated Jan. 29 to Mayor Fred McCarthy, the four commission members wrote, “moving the board into Langley’s governmental structure makes it, we concluded, not worth doing. Its independence would be

This is the story of a little team of South Whidbey student engineers making a big splash in the world of underwater robotics. Atlantis Inc. ROV already had a Pacific Northwest regional title when the Black Sea International ROV Competition and Exhibition contacted the team of teenagers earlier this month. At the international competition held in Federal Way, Wash., last year, Atlantis won the Biggest Bang for the Buck Award for making a bot that could move, grab, prod, measure and see underwater that cost about $550 and placed 11th among more than 20 teams. “Learning that it wasn’t just a form letter was a nice surprise,” said Hannah McConnaughey, 17, the team’s public relations lead.

Elderly folks lose home in blaze Saturday night “An elderly couple lost all their possessions except the clothes on their backs when a raging fire destroyed their two-story, nine-room home on Heggenes Road late Saturday evening. There was no insurance. The fire victims were Will A. Darling, 79, owner of the house, and his sister, Mrs. Edith Seigman, 83, who made her home with him.”
Local soldier home on leave after South Vietnam tour “A South Whidbey soldier who two weeks ago was helping care for combat-wounded soldiers in South Vietnam is resting at his home this week and looking forward to another two weeks of furlough before reporting to his next duty station. The returned serviceman is James Stafford, 19, son of Mrs. Esther Stafford of Langley.”

A Growler takes off at Outlying Field Coupeville. The U.S. Navy is considering buying more of the jets.
Navy looks to purchase 22 more Growlers from Boeing By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record U.S. Navy leaders want to purchase additional EA-18G Growlers and increase Electronic Attack Squadron size. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert told lawmakers March 12 that he sees a “growing Growler need,” according to news reports. The move, according to the Navy, would both protect the nation’s industrial base and provide it with the electronic warfare capability it will need in the coming decades. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said that, “today we have the minimum numbers in each squadron,” which is five, and that, “looking in the future, we don’t think electronic attack is going to get any smaller.” The Navy is seeking to include 22 additional
Growlers in its “unfunded” requirements request for fiscal year 2015. That document, which must still be approved by military leaders, includes items that were not in the military’s original budget request released earlier this month. Greenert calls the request a “hedge and risk-reduction” effort, adding that the Navy is “very mindful of the industrial base.” The federal government is also “working on things
like foreign military sales to keep that [Boeing] line in business,” Greenert said. Boeing’s production line for the Growler and the similar FA-18E Super Hornet in St. Louis will run out of work in the third quarter of 2016 if the company does not receive additional orders from domestic or foreign militaries. Australia became the Growler’s first foreign customer last year, purchasing 12 of the aircraft and

initiating a training program through Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The twin-seat Growler provides the electronic jamming capability used in tandem with other aircraft to optimize fighting efficiency. The Whidbey airbase is the only installation where Growlers are home -based. The Navy started an Environmental Impact Statement in July about the Growler’s presence on the island and at Outlying Field Coupeville. Ted Brown, installations and environmental public affairs officer for U.S. Fleet Forces Command, said he was aware of the Navy’s budget priority for the Growlers, but said it would be difficult to comment on how the additional aircraft would affect NAS Whidbey operations until the contract is funded. “Since this request has not been funded, I cannot speculate on when or how this would be addressed,” Brown said. “If and when these aircraft are funded and purchased, the Navy will address their home basing appropriately under the National Environmental Policy Act.”

Hearts & Hammers calls for volunteers
South Whidbey Hearts & Hammers is looking for some new blood and fresh nails. The organization’s annual workday, the first Saturday in May, will bring needed repairs to homeowners who physically or financially are unable to complete the work alone. There is no cost to the homeowners, thanks to community donations, volunteers and in-kind donations of material from our local lumberyards and supply retailers. But the group needs help and is searching for new volunteers by March 31 so teams can be formed under the direction of house captains. The more volunteers available, the more homes repaired. Volunteers do whatever repairs and renovations are possible within the scope of a one-day work party. This year the needs range from repairing decks and creating safe access, replacing doors and windows, to cleanup, yard work, floor repairs and trash removal. Volunteers will gather, rain or shine, on Saturday morning at the South Whidbey High School for breakfast and directions. A photo is taken of the entire group just before everyone heads out to the various homes all over South Whidbey. They gather again at the high school at the end of the day for a delicious, well-deserved dinner and wrap-up of the day’s accomplishments. Donations are still needed to accomplish the work. Donors and volunteers can go online at www.heartsandhammers.com to sign up or donate. Volunteers of all levels are welcome, from contractors, electricians and plumbers to carpenters, gardeners and just regular folks who enjoy the satisfaction of helping and the fellowship of working side by side with their friends and neighbors. Sign-up forms are also available at South Whidbey lumber yards and hardware stores. Mail donations and sign-up forms to H&H, PO Box 694, Langley, WA. 98260.

SCHOOLS Future art classes to be discussed The South Whidbey School District Board of Directors discussed the needs of each school and how to improve the district during a workshop on Wednesday, March 12. Director and Board Chairwoman Linda Racicot asked to begin a conversation about resurrecting the arts program in the future. The district currently has one art teacher at the high school and supplements
art education with an artist-in-residence program, which invites working artists to cover art in class. Armed with several pages of quotes about the importance of art in education, Racicot said the district is at a place to begin discussing the program again. “It’s a part of basic education,” she said. “Art in this community is important.” Superintendent Jo Moccia said the board will continue the discussion in the coming months as the directors review resources with staff and budget options this spring.
Moccia said the district continues to enhance art programs, including the music program this year. She said the district is in a more confident position to bring back the arts than in previous years.

LANGLEY Engineering to be contracted Engineering work will be done by Kirkland-based PACE Engineering, not by a city employee, the Langley City council decided this week. At Monday night’s council meeting, the body unanimously approved a contract with PACE Engineering to provide professional services, such as designing projects and reviewing permits. Public Works Director Stan Berryman said there was not enough work to justify a full-time city engineer. “With the current workload that we’ve got, it’s much more efficient to do it this way,” Berryman said. Langley formerly employed a city engineer, who was housed in the Public Works Department. Rather than a budgeted annual sum, the contract specifies the firm’s senior principal engineer, the costliest position, would be paid $185 per hour.

Berryman said he and fellow engineering services reviewers Jeff Arango, director of community planning, and Councilman Thomas Gill liked the firm’s responsiveness and experience with other municipalities. Last year, Langley spent a little more than $71,000 for engineering services contracted with Ryan Goodman. Deputy Clerk Marlyne Ray said most of the money was spent earlier in the year when the city worked on the First Street waterline replacement.

WWII pilot tells war tales to South End students By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record South Whidbey students got a first-person account of some of the toughest times of the 20th century last week from a man credited as being the only WWII fighter pilot to sink a Japanese destroyer with machine-gun fire. Leon Sher, an Oak Harbor resident, visited Mark Eager’s Advanced Placement U.S. history class at South Whidbey High School to talk about his experience living through the Great Depression and serving in the Pacific Theater during WWII. Sher was born in 1924 in San Francisco. His father worked as a
supervisor at a cleaning plant, but eventually lost his job. “We ate what we had — a lotta beans,” he said of that time. His family later moved to Oakland, Calif., and started a dry cleaning business. From the determination of his mother, the store eventually brought in the profitable business to clean officers’ uniforms. At age 13, Sher went to work at a shipyard, drawing keel plates for cargo vessels, and at the same time worked in a library, earning 35 cents per hour. “You have to be involved and protect yourself as much as you can. You folks have to make the decision of what to spend money on.” Sher joined the army one month

Deb Lund, a Greenbank resident, will read from her children’s book “Monsters on Machines” at 11:45 a.m. Saturday, March 22 in Langley.
There’s a monstrous opportunity in Langley for children Saturday. With all the backhoes, drills, rocks and dirt covering Second Street, the city worked with the overseeing company, KPG Inc., to allow children to see and climb on the massive rigs. The event, sponsored by the Langley Main Street Association, the South Whidbey Commons and Moonraker Books, is from 1 to 2 p.m. March 22 on Second Street. Several events are planned.
Children who wear a monster costume get a child-size hard hat. There will be a coloring contest with a Tonka truck as a prize. The Commons has “monsteroni and cheese” planned as a meal, and Greenbank resident and author Deb Lund will read from her children’s book, “Monsters on Machines,” at 11:45 a.m. She will also do an autograph session from noon to 1 p.m. at Moonraker Books on First Street.
old, he earned his wings and gold bars as a second lieutenant. He flew during the invasion of Iwo Jima and holds the distinction of being the only WWII fighter pilot to sink a Japanese destroyer with machinegun fire.
Sher described the moments leading up to the event to the class. During a flight he saw a large vessel just over the horizon near Osaka. “I thought, ‘I’ll spray ’em a little,’ ” he said. As he got closer he noticed people moving bags of black powder to the bottom of the ship. He realized if he could start a fire it would work better than shooting. “The whole ship went up in flames,” he said. Sher also took photos of the aftermath that were run in a Time Life book. He was paid $750 for the photos. Sher said he hopes the students learn from his experiences and appreciate what they have, especially when it comes to money. “Lack of action can steer us toward another depression — it could happen,” he said. “They’ve got to be prepared and they are at the point where they’ve got to think about these things.”

Spring is blossoming, don’t miss out By JUSTIN BURNETT
Tomorrow is the first official day of spring, and for me Thursday can’t come soon enough. These past few weeks of rain have seemed infinite, and the thought of a warmer season is more than welcome. A bit of sunshine will dry out more than my soaked shoes, so to speak. Thankfully, the signs of a waking Whidbey Island are already beginning to show. Monday’s break in the weather spurred The Record’s news staff to take a stroll down Main Street in Freeland and we were rewarded not just with blue skies and sunshine, but with the sight of blossoming plum trees. I’m a bit of sucker for their flowers, which range in shades of white and pink. In a world of deep green, they are bit of light and I guess that’s why I like them so much. It’s also funny how once you notice one, the rest suddenly become visible. Whidbey Island is peppered with cherry trees and their glow is everywhere. Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens in Greenbank is holding its annual spring nursery plant sale at 9 a.m. this weekend, March 22-23, and it’s a must-not-miss for gardeners, flower lovers and anyone who is just plain sick and tired of Old Man Winter. Animals are hearing the knock of spring as well. Last week, Little Brown Farm in Freeland had its first batch of spring kids [see story on page 1]. The dozen Nubian mini goats are a fun bunch and it is indeed hard to resist giving one a scratch on the head. The farm will open its doors to the public next month and allow families to swing by and take a turn at bottle feeding the little guys. Feeding time is 3 p.m. daily, beginning April 1. The event is free, but visitors are encouraged to show their financial support by also shopping at the farm’s store. Try the Cajeta, a type of Mexican caramel sauce — it’s great in coffee. Also worth a try is the Whidbey Audubon Society’s birding field trip at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 22, at Greenbank Farm. Such excursions are pretty cool, even if you’re not a regular birder. It’s a great way to get out with the kids or just to try something new. The event is free and forecasters are predicting favorable weather. Spring is a great time of year, as it’s the annual renewal of the world. Get out and enjoy it — Whidbey Island offers many ways to do so.

recognition for being willing to take a risk and engage in this new program to help the schools. Their willingness to participate and the public’s willingness to engage in the program created a win win for both. Thank you all. Sincerely, CHRIS GIBSON, Board president, SWSF
Appreciative of island’s emergency responders Editor, I never imagined it would happen to me, but on Feb. 13, I was the one carried unconscious out of the woods on a backboard. With a concussion and a broken wrist, I am healing well, but that was as close to a serious accident as I ever want. I will ride my sweet horse again, but though I am a good and experienced rider, if I had not been wearing a helmet, I would be dead. Honestly, I remember very little. I remember Jim Towers, who was running in the woods, helping. Some wonderful person called my husband, who was there quickly and that made me so

I remember being handled with gentle and professional care. I felt so held and safe. The care I received on the scene, in the ambulance, at Whidbey General Hospital, and in ambulance number two to Harborview, was excellent. The most wonderful paramedics and EMTs kept me informed, kept me warm, washed mud out of my eye, and were truly kind. I cannot say too much good about my top notch crew. Thank you, again and again.

LETTERS CONTINUED FROM A6
against another elected official was extremely inappropriate and unprofessional. I would hope that she has thought long and hard about her terrible mistake and will then apologize to both of the elected officials involved in this debacle, particularly Treasurer Ana Maria Nunez. What I find particularly troubling about this spectacle though is the distinct possibility that Commissioner Johnson’s outburst was motivated by nothing but raw partisanship. Looking at the political party affiliations of the players involved could well lead to the inevitable conclusion that Johnson is looking ahead to a future election cycle. Is she trying to help her political party gain one seat or retain another seat? If she apologizes publicly and sincerely (i.e, no fake apologies please) that will go far to dispel such a motivation on her part. If she refuses to apologize, then I for one will conclude that she is doing nothing but abusing her position as commissioner to advance her party’s politi-

cal agenda. By the way, the next time Johnson “orders” or “directs” or otherwise tries to “compel” another elected official to appear before her to answer to some charge that Johnson has decided on her own to lodge against that official, she should receive the royal raspberry salute in response. She acts without authority whenever she decides to put on her dictator hat and play Napoleon for a day, and she should be responded to in kind. And before anyone starts accusing those individuals who are critical of Johnson’s actions as engaging in partisan muckraking, they need to actually watch the video of the meeting. If they do they will learn that Nunez did her job. There was nothing incorrect about the tax statements that her office sent out. The software that she uses is the same software that is used by treasurers of all counties throughout the state. Johnson knew that before she dragged the treasurer into a public forum to flog her. So, if anyone has turned the issue into a political one, it is Johnson. NELS KELSTROM Clinton

KEEP TALKING!
Ever have a disagreement and felt like just walking out? Ever hang up the phone abruptly - cutting off the other party from responding? To sell your home successfully, be prepared to keep talking no matter what a prospective buyer’s position may be. When a buyer chooses your home, the first step is a formal written offer. If the offer is satisfactory, the offer becomes a binding contract. Often some aspect may not be acceptable, in which case you have two choices. You may choose not to respond or you may make a “counter-offer,” a written counter-proposal. No response is the equivalent of “hanging-up.” It may leave them angry and confused. To make the most of every offer, always keep the conversation moving. Make a counter-offer, even if it involves little movement from your initial position. This assures the buyers that you are taking their offer seriously, even though your position may be somewhat rigid. If the buyers are committed, your counter-offer may be accepted. If not, it may trigger another counter-offer. No matter what, keep the conversation in motion. A satisfactory transaction is the likely outcome.

Fifth-inning collapse costs Falcons By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record A string of untimely mistakes lifted the Coupeville Wolves baseball team 8-4 over the South Whidbey Falcons in the Cascade Conference opener Monday. Through four innings, South Whidbey looked to have victory in its mitts. The Falcons led 3-0 behind brilliant pitching from senior CJ Sutfin and a couple of hits by junior Mo Hamsa and Sutfin that brought in three runs in the third inning. “Early season jitters, maybe,” said Falcon head coach Tom Fallon of what cost his team the lead. “Our communication was lacking a little there.” Sutfin got the Wolves to hit infield grounders and fly balls early in the game while also ringing up two strikeouts. But he also sent three runners to first base on a pair of walks and a hit-by-pitch. Still, the defense held through four innings. Then came the fifth that started with the beaning of Korbin Korzan, followed by a single through the right side of the infield. Falcon assistant coach Bill Patterson took Sutfin off the mound and brought in senior Colton Sterba from third base. “It just snowballed from there,” Fallon said. Facing his first batter of the game, Sterba gave up a momentum-swinging hit. Josh Bayne drove in Korzan on a single to right-center field and advanced to second base on the Falcon center fielder Jake Sladky’s throw to third base. Sterba walked the next batter, which was followed by a fielder’s choice grounder to Falcon shortstop Ricky Muzzy, whose throw went past second baseman Trent Fallon and allowed to runs to score. Coupeville and South Whidbey were tied at three runs apiece, and the Falcons had not gotten an out in the fifth inning. The Wolves took the lead on an errant throw to first base that bounced off the infield before Sutfin could grab

South Whidbey was able to tack on one more run, but could not keep pace with Coupeville’s eight scores. The Wolves had six walks and three hits on the Falcons, who had six hits. Hamsa led, going 2-3 with a RBI, and Sutfin went 1-2 with two RBI. The loss dropped South Whidbey’s overall record to 1-1, after the Falcons defeated the Blaine Borderites 4-2 on Saturday. In the season opener, Hamsa recorded the victory pitching three innings. He was aided by relievers Charlie Patterson, Brent Piehler, Sutfin and Sterba, who each pitched one inning. South Whidbey gave up seven

hits and three walks to Blaine. And although the Falcons tallied nine hits, they left 10 runners on base. Sladky’s 2-for-3 performance at the plate with a RBI led against the Borderites. Piehler was 2-4 with a double, and Trent Fallon went 1-4 with a double and a RBI. The field, though soggy around the fence from heavy rain over the previous weekend, appeared well-groomed, and was a source of pride for Fallon. Before the season began, he said the team held three work party days and notched 270 hours cleaning the dugouts and infield. “We had a lot of commitment and pride from the kids,” he said.
Aggressive defensive play led the way in the South Whidbey boys soccer team’s first victory against University Prep on Monday. In the non-league match at South Whidbey High School, the Falcons needed nearly 60 minutes before finding their first goal. Co-head coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins credited the rear defenders — seniors Calvin Shimada and Jack Hood and juniors Anders Bergquist and Bryce Auburn — for allowing only two shots on goal in the entire match. “Our back four did great,” Robbins said. “I’ve always taken pride in strong defense,” he later added, also mentioning that the team spent its first week of practice solely on defense. Part of the problem early, Robbins and co-head coach Joel Gerlach said, was that the Falcons crowded around
the ball, making it hard to find open players. In the first half, South Whidbey attempted five shots on goal. “Guys were getting in each other’s way,” Robbins said. Gerlach said one goal was waved off on a handball call by the field referee. By the second half, the offense spaced itself better and found more avenues for passing and through balls for looks at the University Prep goal. Robbins highlighted passing by Lucas Lieberman and runs by Kai da Rosa as marked improvements in the final 40 minutes. Eventually, one broke through for Bergquist, who pushed up from the defensive half of the field and scored late in the match. South Whidbey had eight days to prepare for its Cascade Conference opener against King’s on Tuesday, March 25, one of the 1A schools in the league that will help determine playoff seeding.

Ann Medlock addresses the Langley City Council on Monday about the need for a standing ethics commission.
ETHICS CONTINUED FROM A1
compromised and, in situations such as those that have arisen in the past, it would be of no use.” The Langley City Council agreed to hold a workshop with the remaining ethics commission members early next month after discussing its concerns with the formation of a standing ethics board. Councilman Jim Sundberg said he worried about confidentiality if the ethics board’s meetings were public, which could put a whistleblower in an uncomfortable position. There were also questions about the ethics board’s authority or possible judiciary functions, which were addressed by ethics commission member Ursula Roosen-Runge. “I think it is a challenge,” Roosen-Runge said. “It’s not impossible.” “If it got to the level of being criminal, we would
refer it,” she later added. Finding members to fill a board that did not meet regularly was also a concern. Several Langley committees have vacant positions that have been difficult to fill. “Our concern was that it’d be hard to find people to join a board that doesn’t do anything,” said Councilman Bruce Allen. “They’d be bored to death.” Medlock, who read a three-page statement to the council about its need to reconsider the formation of a standing board, outlined the commission’s vision for the group. She said the ethics board would be advisory by giving the mayor and city council an opinion on ethics issues, train city staff and elected city officials, meet “only when needed,” and would be available to explain the ethics policy. McCarthy, the city council and the four ethics commission members tentatively agreed to a 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, April 9 workshop on the ethics policy.

South Whidbey band unites to benefit youth at Ryan’s House By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record For six musicians, the issue of youth homelessness on South Whidbey united them. What resulted was the Rainey Music Project, a group of musicians playing for Ryan’s House for Youth. The band will perform this
Saturday at South Whidbey High School with the funds going toward Ryan’s House — a nonprofit organization dedicated to island youth. Lead singer and guitarist Rainey, her stage name, put the band together for the purpose of helping youth who are homeless. She wants to help students who are trying to go to school and be the best they can be. “Kids are our future,” she said. “I’m always working for the unseen,” she added. Rainey wrote the song “This Can’t Be Right,” after she was impacted by a teenager who was homeless in Seattle. She gave the teen money, but later thought, “Money doesn’t help, they need a place to stay.” Lori Cavender, executive direc-
tor of Ryan’s House, said she was thankful for the band making Ryan’s House a beneficiary of the concert and for their efforts. Cavender said Rainey is a talented musician and is grateful the band is sharing these stories in such a special and beautiful way. The concert will benefit 10 students who are currently living with host families, Cavender said. In addition to the 10 students, Ryan’s House provides a safe environment for students at risk and aims to build a shelter for youths on the island. Cavender hopes the show brings understanding to the issues young people are going through when they find themselves without a home. The concert will also help the organiza-
tion move forward with the shelple, so talented and inspirational,” ter, which is something Rainey she said. wants to see in the future.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain
HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and
says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders. ARTH ARREST is available without a prescription or call 877-581-1502. Now at:

Maifeld, 24, is Brown’s daughter and helps her mom operate the certified dairy farm. With their herd of about 30 goats, the farm produces a variety of products, from cheese and yogurt to specialties such as Cajeta, a type of Mexican caramel sauce. Opening the farm to the public is extra work, but it’s worth it for several reasons. For starters, it’s an excellent marketing tool and great way of getting customers to her

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.
