Fair plan a must, proponents say “I hate to say it’s about the money, but it’s about the money.”— Dan Ollis
Financial crunch forces Commons director cut By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Dan Ollis, a fair association director and a member of the fairgrounds steering committee, rests on the bannister of the grandstand at the Island County Fairgrounds. Below the seating is where the alpacas are kept during the annual fair.
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record There have been times when it rained so hard that a small pond formed in the horse arena at the Island County Fairground. There is even a photo of someone in a kayak paddling around the dirtand-sand arena. Avoiding stormwater drainage problems like that, as well as unused bathrooms and deteriorating buildings, is part of the reason a steering committee of government leaders is proposing a $10.12 million overhaul of the Island County Fairgrounds over 10 years.
The plan, characterized by many as overly ambitious, has sparked criticism from a seemingly wary and skeptical public. Many complain about being surprised or “steamrolled” by the proposal, and remain unconvinced about the reasoning for such a large change to a longtime property. Why now and what’s the problem? The following is an explanation of just what’s going wrong and why.
‘It’s about the money’
According to fair officials, they are spending more on upkeep than the grounds can draw in revenue, and they warn that at the rate the fair
association’s budget is going, it may not make it another five years. “I hate to say it’s about the money, but it’s about the money,” said Dan Ollis, a fair association director and a steering committee member. The property, owned by Island County and operated by the Whidbey Island Fair Association, receives $30,000 for its capital improvements every year through a grant issued to the fair association. Other than that, the fair association has an unfunded mandate to operate the county property SEE FAIR, A9
Lawmakers end 2014 session on South Whidbey By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

Kim Drury of Langley asks state lawmakers about parks funding during a legislative roundup on South Whidbey last week.
Whidbey Island state lawmakers visited the South End last week to brief constituents on highlights of the 2014 Legislative session. Convening at South Whidbey High School before a crowd of about 30 people were District 10 Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton; Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor; and Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano. The three legislators each took about 10 minutes to bring the crowd up to speed about what
they felt were highlights in Olympia, from Bailey’s promotion of a budget that made gains in higher education to Hayes’ unsuccessful bill to not exempt lawmakers from speeding infractions during the session. “My intent in bringing that bill was that we are not above the law,” Hayes said. The bill never made it out of committee. Smith talked about her focus on economic development through the fostering of sustainable energy industries, and echoed Bailey’s sentiSEE LAWMAKERS, A24
Facing a dire financial situation, the board of the South Whidbey Commons cut the executive director position held by Cheryl Sagmeister last week. The loss was followed by an exodus of three other part-time paid staff members, who quit in protest of the board’s decision. Linda Henderson, the Commons board president, said money was the determining factor, not Sagmeister’s performance. “The board made an agonizing decision because the Commons’ financial picture has been very, very tough,” Henderson said. “We just could not afford to have an executive director position at this time.” “There’s been a lot of sleepless nights about this from board members, all concerned. It’s the last thing any of us wanted to do,” she later added. Sagmeister could not be reached for comment for this story. For the past few months, board members for the Commons have worried about its financial stability. Work on the road and underground utilities along Second Street in front of the cafe hit the shop hard, they said, and that has not changed since work began in mid-January. Sagmeister was hired as the first executive director of the commons, a hiring that was originally thought to signal a step toward growth of the small nonprofit. It may have been an over-reach on the part of the Commons board, however, given that SEE COMMONS, A24

Kudos Young researchers explore science at South Whidbey Elementary Students at South Whidbey Elementary School spent the day March 14 exploring science earlier this month. The day was hosted by the PTA, who gathered South Whidbey science professionals, experts and enthusiasts to share their interests with the elementary school students. More than 20 presenters from Whidbey helped throughout the day teaching many topics including science, math and health. The day also included an assembly featuring guest presenters from the Pacific Science Center on “Jolts & Volts.” Students were treated to an underwater robotics demonstration by Timmy Sinclair with Marine Advanced Education Center, estuary studies by environmental scientist Laura Johnson; x-ray examples with Dr. Dave Parent, a presentation on forensics by Naval Special Agent Shannon Salpaert, electricity experiments by Leonard Good, laser and cloud chamber experiments with Andy Gilbert of the South Whidbey Science Foundation, math experiments with Jean Cravey, to name a few.

Whidbey Environmental Action Network wins critical areas lawsuit By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record A Thurston County judge has agreed with a local environmental group that two Island County ordinances dealing with wetlands on farmland must be revised. The Island County commissioners have since supported a staff recommendation not to appeal the decision. “We disagree with the Thurston County ruling,” Planning Director David Wechner told county commissioners Monday night. “Nevertheless we see no advantage in appealing.” A lawsuit was filed by the Whidbey Environmental Action Network in 2006 when the Island County commissioners adopted two ordinances dealing with critical areas, such as wetlands, in agricultural areas. The group unsuccessfully challenged the ordinance to the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board, and went on to file the lawsuit in Thurston County Superior Court. The group initially challenged the county’s treatment of wetlands on farmland back in 2000 and won. The hearings board agreed in that case that a county ordinance exempting all agriculture from wetland protection was contrary to the Growth Management Act on 1990. Wechner recommended Monday that the county respond to the hearings board with a plan to revise the ordinances by 2016, the deadline for a mandatory ordinance update already in process. “Staff is confident that a review based on new data with all the stakeholders

Public Health Director Keith Higman agreed with Wechner that the ordinance they would be defending in an appeal would be from 2005 and is likely outdated anyway. WEAN representatives
could not reached for comment in time for this story. Last year, the group’s founder Steve Erickson said his main concern with the ordinances was that under the current regulation, the farm management plans required of farmers would not be available to the public and that the plans were not enforceable.

STATE Local agencies help with mudslide aid Members of the Islands Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Search and Rescue unit are assisting with rescue and recovery efforts in Snohomish County following Saturday’s mudslide. As of Tuesday, the death toll was 14, with over 100 who remain unaccounted for, according to the Associated Press. Nine volunteers with the Islands Chapter of the American Red Cross have been deployed so far, according to Ron Conlin, Island Chapter’s disaster supervisor. The volunteers work as shelter workers in a 12-hour shift rotation. It remains unclear how many people have been displaced, according to Nancy Waddell, Co-Team Leader of the South Whidbey Disaster Action
Team. However, she said one night over the weekend the Arlington shelter housed 24 people overnight. Several other shelters have been opened in the area, Waddell said. Registered nurses from the Islands Chapter were also onsite providing health since the crisis. In addition, NAS Whidbey Island’s Search and Rescue unit was contacted by the Regional Operations Center Snowpack Operator for assistance, according to Public Affairs Officer Mike Welding. The unit helped evacuate several individuals after arriving on scene, and two crew members provided on-the-ground evacuation efforts. They returned to base to transport three federal firefighters and their rescue equipment to the scene, and one victim was transported to Skagit Valley Hospital. The unit returned to NAS Whidbey Island late Saturday but is on standby to provide additional assistance if requested, Welding said.

Langley man appears in court An accused child rapist who was at large and wanted on a $300,000 warrant for weeks appeared in court Monday, but his unusual behavior raised questions about his mental state. Michael Jelinek, a 23-year-old Langley man, acted completely confused during the motion hearing in Island County Superior Court. With a head of wild hair and a beard, Jelinek muttered to himself and ignored questions posed by Judge Alan Hancock. Jelinek refused when Deputy Prosecutor David Carman asked him to sign a paper. “I don’t want to be sacrificed. I don’t want to be burned,” he said. Jelinek is accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl he met at a bus stop on South Whidbey. Prosecutors charged him Feb. 6 with three counts of rape of a child in the third degree. Hancock issued the $300,000 arrest warrant for Jelinek on Feb. 6. Jelinek was also wanted on a $50,000 felony war-

Clearview Lane roof burns up A chimney caused the top of a home near Freeland to go up in flames Sunday afternoon. The house, located on Clearview Lane, caught fire about 12:30 p.m. Sunday, March 23, shortly after the two homeowners started a fire in the fireplace. South Whidbey Fire/EMS Chief Rusty Palmer said firefighters from his department knocked down the flames quickly and were at the property checking for flare-ups and hot spots for about 30 minutes. Neither of the two residents were injured by the fire or smoke, and were able to gather some of their first-floor belongings before firefighters made them evacuate. Flames were mostly contained to the roof, and Palmer estimated the damage to be about $40,000. Chimneys built too close to wood beams or other combustible fuels can, over time, dry out and ignite, he said. In this case, the chimney is believed to have been too close to the roof and started the fire. “The longer it’s exposed
to that heat, it just dries it out and can actually lower the ignition temperature by 50 percent,” Palmer said. “It was really close. It was so charred it was hard to say what it was initially, but it was nearly in contact on one side.”

Conservation Office, Local Parks Grant Program. Commissioner Jill Johnson said she was concerned that the county would end up having to spend extra money to maintain the areas. Johnson voted in favor of the grant proposal on the condition that it would not come back to the county for maintenance. The commissioners opted out last week on an opportunity to apply for similar grants to assist in acquiring beach access in Glendale. Both Johnson and Commissioner Kelly Emerson said that the county already struggles to maintain their existing parks and beaches and it would be irresponsible to take on more. Public Works Director Bill Oakes said Wednesday, March 19 that the land trust was slated to provide maintenance to the upgraded Trillium Forest areas if the grants are awarded. “What happens if the Whidbey Camano Land Trust goes away?” Johnson said. Johnson said she’d like to make sure that a non-county maintenance plan is in place. Additionally, Johnson requested that staff compile a list of these partnership areas with the land trust to see what, if anything, they are costing the county in maintenance. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who alone supported the Glendale project, said there are two sides to consider when investing in property for public use. “If you look at cost, you have to look at the benefit,” Price Johnson said.

Whale-watching tourists disembark from the Mystic Sea at the Port of South Whidbey Harbor at Langley. The owners of the Mystic Sea donated a two-hour evening cruise as a fundraiser for the Langley Whale Center.
Those looking for a little nighttime whale watching can do so while funding the Orca Network and Langley Whale Center with an evening cruise on the Mystic Sea this weekend. Gray whales have been seen in Puget Sound, including Saratoga Passage off the east side of South Whidbey, over the past few weeks. All proceeds from the Sunday, March 30 cruise — tickets cost $75 — benefit Orca Network and the whale center, which is operated by the network. The cruise includes wine and hors d’oeuvres. Monte and Cindy Hughes, owners of Mystic Sea Charters, are donating their boat and time for the cause. Susan Berta and Howard Garrett, founders of Orca Network, will join the cruise out of Langley to talk about the whales. The Langley Whale Center is a free museum of Puget Sound marine mammals, from seals to gray whales, their history and habitats. For reservations call 800-308-9387.

Editorial
Ethics committee a good thing for Langley Should Langley have a dedicated ethics commission? That’s the issue before the city council and it’s a worthy discussion to be sure. In our view, the answer is made clear with one simple question: Who would better address complex ethical concerns that arise within City Hall’s ranks — a dedicated group of trusted advisors from the public or the very same city leaders who may be the subject of a future complaint? Considering the city’s recent track record, having a group of volunteers to serve as a moral compass doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. Langley found itself wrestling with tough ethical concerns with its past two mayors. One was determined to be unfounded and the most recent resulted in a jail sentence. It was those experiences that spurred the creation of an ethics code to guide city elected officials and staff. Drafted by Langley citizens, the guidelines were adopted and incorporated into city code, but the council stopped short of approving the group’s recommendation to create a standing ethics committee. The group’s wishes on this matter were somewhat unclear — the council thought it was adhering to its counsel — and the decision was coupled with concerns that a standing ethics committee wouldn’t have enough to do, that inactivity would fuel witch hunts. Perhaps so, and the unnecessary erosion of public trust and community discord are understandable and valid concerns, but are ultimately unconvincing. While it’s true the public is a finicky master and nothing can be done without some complaint, a standing ethics committee would not have license to put city officials on trial for every complaint that comes down the road. Great time and energy has already been expended on a road map — the ethics code — that makes clear what is appropriate and what is not. Secondly, the public is intelligent and people are fully capable of deciding for themselves the merits and legitimacy of any finding or discussion by a standing ethics committee. Case in point, would a slanted and unfair news story go unnoticed? No way. There are times when it seems government watchdog organizations, such as newspapers, get as much scrutiny as elected officials. Someone is always watching and people will and do weigh in when they feel it’s needed. Transparency and accountability are cornerstones of democracy, and the council has taken a great stride with the adoption of the ethics code, but it shouldn’t stop there. Moving forward with the creation of a dedicated committee may prove uncomfortable at times, but it would demonstrate the city’s commitment to these indispensable and guiding principles.

Public kindness is alive following speeding ticket Editor, On Dec. 17, 2013, I had just finished delivering my third Good Cheer Christmas gift to a senior family in Everett. My wife and I save our pennies and buy a turkey, ham and prime rib roast for someone not so fortunate. I was disembarking the ferry in Clinton, going up the hill when I happened to glance in my rearview mirror — flashing red lights, busted by the Washington State Patrol near the Dairy Queen. A state trooper advised me of my rights and ticketed me for going 5 mph over the speed limit. I was going 35 mph in a 30 mph zone. The citation was for $135. I was totally shocked. I looked out the window and 100 feet up the road I saw a speed limit sign for 40 mph. I mentioned that to the officer and he said I was speeding below. I went to court on March 13 in Oak
Harbor and told my story to a judge. She looked at my record and remarked that I’ve never had a ticket. I told her I’ve been driving for 58 years and will try harder from now on. The judge reduced my fine to $78. I thank her for her time, she gives me the ticket and I go to pay the bill. On my way out I notice several ladies sitting across from me in court. I get to the door and a cute blond comes up to me and says to me, “You are not going to pay that ticket.” She and her girlfriend decided that it was unfair. She took my ticket and paid for it. I was in shock, again. Being on social security and living on Bush Point, times are hard. It just reminds me that the people Whidbey Island are the best. LARRY HOWARD Bush Point

the nerve to drive down to the Langley dock/marina and view what Paul Schell is building. What a monstrosity, to say the least. It has spoiled the whole terrain of that beautiful lagoon and beach. How can he or the city planner justify or approve this type of structure? Can anyone explain the reason it took two years for my neighbor to get questions answered and permits (which were all required by the city) before they could put in a parking strip for their business (mandatory request by the city)? What does Paul Schell have that so many of our other citizens don’t in obtaining architectural design approval, permits, etc. so quickly? Money? I thought any building structure had to be at least 20 feet from the road? This certainly isn’t true in this case. What is going on here? Shame on you Paul Schell for not considering and designing (with approval) a more appropriate dwelling for yourself and all concerned. FRAN JOHNSON Langley

March is Red Cross Month — get involved By Nancy Waddell For Islands Chapter American Red Cross During March, the American Red Cross recognizes and thanks the nation’s Everyday Heroes who give of themselves and in some way help their community. The American Red Cross is synonymous with helping people, and has been doing so for more than 130 years. This year during Red Cross Month, we are encouraging everyone to discover their “inner hero” by giving time to help a neighbor, make a financial donation or take a class in First Aid and CPR. It’s also a great time to become a Red Cross volunteer or work on a preparedness plan or kit for your household so you will be ready for emergencies. The Islands Chapter of the Red Cross, which covers Whidbey, Fidalgo, and the San Juan Islands, will have two events to honor people in our communities who have demonstrated heroism through acts of courage or whose contributions and commitment to their community make them everyday heroes. The South Whidbey gathering will be held on Friday, April 4, at the American Legion Post 141 on Highway 525 in Bayview. Social time begins at 6 p.m. followed by a potluck dinner and the Hero awards program at 6:30 p.m. kicked off by Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and Islands Executive Director Mike Stamper. Information on preparedness and volunteering will be available. The full chapter event will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, May

Imagine working two jobs, in two different locations, with one job providing excellent earnings while the other pays nothing? Which job would get the bulk of your attention? Homeowners sometimes place themselves in such a situation when they plant a “For Sale By Owner” sign. To successfully market a home, it is necessary to be available at all hours — seven days a week. The home must be kept in model condition, ready for showings — sometimes with only 30 minutes notice. Research must be done to determine recent sale prices on comparable homes. A marketing campaign must be planned and implemented. Mortgage loans must be arranged, appraisals and inspections coordinated, and... well... you get the picture. Real estate specialists work full-time. Period. They understand the complexities of marketing a home, and are 100% committed to the achievement of your objectives. Amazingly, they get paid only after successfully selling each home. Thinking of trying it as a “By Owner?” Think again! If you or your friends are interested in buying or selling a home or land, call me. I can help.

Isla Dubendorf, a junior on the Falcon girls tennis team, fires a backhand shot across the net against Oak Harbor on March 21 at South Whidbey High School. The South Whidbey girls tennis team recorded its first Cascade Conference victory over rival school Coupeville on Monday, March 24. The Falcons zipped past the Wolves to a 5-0 win without any of the South Whidbey players losing a set. Senior Amelia Weeks cruised at first singles defeating Allie Hanigan 6-0, 6-1. Isla Dubendorf, a junior, defeated Coupeville’s Jacki Ginning 6-2, 6-0. In the doubles matches, the new tandem of Tess Radisch and Brea Gauger fought off Coupeville’s Samantha Martin and Sydney Aparitio 6-1, 7-5. South Whidbey’s
second doubles team of Katrina Layton and Colleen Groce beat McKenzie Bailey and Wynter Thorn 6-2, 6-0. At third doubles, Falcons Kendra Warwick and Bayley Gochanour defeated Ana Luvera and Sydney Antio 6-2, 6-2. Beating Coupeville soundly was a nice turnaround for South Whidbey, which suffered like its rival school in a match against Bellingham on March 22. The Red Raiders, a top 2A program, rode down the Falcons in a 7-0 victory. Bellingham won the meet without dropping a single set to South Whidbey. Kira Vizorka won the first singles

bout over Weeks 6-2, 6-3. Kara Burns beat Radisch 6-4, 6-1 in the number two spot. Mariah Miller dropped Dubendorf 6-2, 6-2 at third singles. Oriana LoCicero beat Sophie Nilsen 6-1, 6-1 in the fourth singles match. The doubles teams fared about as well as the singles players. Ellie Iversen and Catie Welch beat Layton and Groce 6-1, 6-1; Tess Owen and Keri Brauner beat Gauger and Warwick 6-1, 6-0; and Olivia Bjorklund and Ashley Spink beat Lindsay Oppelt and Bayley Gochanour 6-2, 6-0. Monday’s match marked the third contest in four days for South Whidbey. The first in the string was March 21 at South Whidbey High School against 3A Oak Harbor, with the Wildcats winning 5-2. South Whidbey’s two wins were from Weeks and Radisch playing first doubles and defeating Caterinea Amsler and Chelse Admire 6-1, 6-3, and Gauger and Warwick beating Oak Harbor’s Ria Bains and Jastine Sanchez 7-5, 2-6, 6-1.

Falcon senior Colton Sterba pitches against Coupeville on March 21 at South Whidbey High School. The Falcons rallied in the seventh inning for their first Cascade Conference win of the season. Three days after a dramatic win over their rivals, the Falcon baseball players couldn’t find any magic against the Lakewood Cougars on Monday, March 24. Lakewood won 4-2 as its starting pitcher, Matt Seiber, threw all six innings for the win. South Whidbey had a couple of chances with big hits from senior Jake Sladky and Ricky Muzzy, who each recorded a double in the game. But the Falcons failed to string together their hits and were held to one run in the third inning and one run in the seventh inning. It was a far cry from the up-and-down affair against Coupeville in the final game of the rivalry series March 21 at South Whidbey High School, which the Falcons won 10-9 on last-inning heroics. “It was a barn burner,” said Falcon head
coach Tom Fallon. The Falcons avoided the sweep by taking a quick lead in the first inning when they scored three runs. Coupeville made its move in the fifth inning by scoring eight runs on three hits, five walks and an error. Leading 9-6 at the end of the sixth inning, the Wolves looked to have the series sweep in hand. Facing defeat, the Falcons scored four runs in the final inning to win. Falcon junior Brent Piehler claimed victory on a two-out, two-RBI, game-winning single. “I like the fight in my guys,” Fallon said. “They don’t seem to lay down and give up late in the game. That is a huge thing moving forward.”

FAIR CONTINUED FROM A1
and annual fair, which is not directly financed with a tax levy. “Nobody really understands that taxpayer dollars don’t fund the fair,” said Fair Administrator Sandey Brandon, the person in charge of the property’s dayto-day operations and managing the fair. The nonprofit fair association’s last 990, the tax form for non-profit organizations, shows the revenue brought in from September 2012 to September 2013 was $271,817. Of that total, $206,578 came from program revenue — fair ticket sales, facility rental fees, boat storage — and $59,503 was from contributions and grants. The fair’s greatest expense of $253,601 is spent putting on the fair and maintenance of buildings and the grounds. That leaves the fair association with $17,173 to reinvest in the property and the coming fair. Combined with the $30,000 generated by real estate excise taxes, requested by the fair association from Island County, the fairgrounds has less than $50,000 for capital projects like new drainage, new roofing and new buildings. By comparison, the new kitchen in the Pole Building — one of the 12 buildings in the proposal that would not be demolished — cost $125,000 last year, which included a $50,000 grant from the state Department of Agriculture.
Attending in droves
Despite the fair leaders’ concerns, people still come to the annual fair in droves. In 2013, the fair, which is

Stormwater issues are some of the problems that have spurred the proposal for a renovated fairgrounds. the primary source of revenue for the Island County Fair Association, brought in $79,095 in gate receipts. The problem is that the revenue from the fair is relatively flat hovering around $200,000, while potential expenses rise and the buildings become more difficult to market for other off-season uses. The cost of running the property has already hit the fair itself. For several years, complaints have been lobbed about entertainment during the annual event. Last year, nearly $37,000 — an almost 50 percent cut from 20 years ago — was spent on entertainment and activities such as the Midway Stage acts and roving performers. Rides and games are not filed as expenses because the carnival company pays the fair association, then collects ticket sales and pays a commission on the total. Last year, the fair made about $10,500 in carnival commission. Ollis said the financial situation is dire and the fair association had to pull money from its “rainy day” fund just to cover fair expenses for this fall.
“By tapping into operations, I think it’s a red flag,” Ollis said. In past years, rising facilities and maintenance costs were covered by reducing the entertainment budget. But that only goes so far, and fair association directors recently voted to take out a $20,000 margin loan to pay for the property’s utilities and operations. On March 24, fair officials confirmed the fair association had a little more than $11,000 left of that loan. “When we started tapping into the entertainment budget, I knew something was wrong,” Ollis said. “It’s not in my training to take money out of a reserve account without a plan to repay it,” he later added.
Critics, stormwater
Critics of the proposal charge that the plans call for something too grand, too costly, and something that would not be fully utilized. Wendy Sundquist, a member of the opposition group Friends of the Fair and a longtime fair volunteer, agreed that the fair association does not have enough

money to address some of the property’s issues. But she rejected the idea that the buildings are “rotting from the ground up,” something Sundquist said the proposal’s proponents claim. Recently she had a civil engineer walk through the property with her to evaluate some of the buildings’ structural integrity. “The only one that had issues was the sheep barn and I had a sense it was not doing well,” Sundquist said, adding that some work was also needed in the alpaca area under the auction grandstand. “I’m sure there are some buildings that need to be repaired or renovated, but it’s cheaper to do that than build new buildings,” she later added. Last week during a downpour, the property was riddled with puddles and what fair director Sandey Brandon called “rivers” running through the property. Part of that is design, part of it is not, as stormwater runs along the pavement and out to the street where it can connect with the stormwater lines owned by the City of Langley. But other flow spots, such as on the hill near the Coffman Building where stormwater appeared to be coming out of the grass and not connecting with a stormwater pipe near
Page A9
the fence, are not planned. Nearly two decades ago, the county commissioned a plan to install a stormwater system at the fairgrounds. The plan, which Ollis keeps in one of his several binders filled with fair history, financial statements, fair association meeting notes and engineering plans, was never implemented, so stormwater continues to pool on the property and run uncontrolled, sometimes into facilities like the Coffman Building until changes were made to some of the drainage where the gutters and downspouts were failing. “They paid a fortune for the plan and then never implemented it,” Brandon said of the 1996 stormwater plan.
One possible future
The proposal, which would reduce the number of facilities on the property from 27 to 12, is one backers say is the best option available. The vision is to slowly change the property and modernize its facilities, making them more marketable for more events every month of the year. Planned in four phases, the first one would pave the RV parking area, demolish the Gary Gabelein Sr. history barn, sheep, pig, dog, cat and fowl barns for a large configurable space called the
Market Place. “It doesn’t have to make a huge profit, but it has to make enough to put back into the property,” Ollis said. “I know the property needs a bigger picture plan,” he added. Combining the animal barns into one configurable space, as described in the proposal, would cut down the property’s footprint and centralize the animal activities in one area. Reorganizing the location of all of the animals to the south end of the 12.8-acre property, supporters of the proposal say, also gives the fairgrounds a better sense of planning. In general, the proposal creates buildings and a property that may be more appealing to other user groups and renters. “Do they all need to be demolished? No, not all of them,” Brandon said. “Is it my decision? No, not at all … Are they rentable? No.” “The fairgrounds just sprang up without people having an overall plan,” she later added. The proposal to overhaul the property, consolidate buildings, relocate barns, pave the RV parking lot and transform the grounds from having only one major event each year to year-round use gives the Island County Fairgrounds a plan, Ollis said.

‘Routine’ work at ferry terminal A large, bright red crane at the Clinton Ferry Terminal was helping the Washington State Department of Transportation, Ferries Division, take care of maintenance upkeep this week. Joy Goldenberg, a ferries spokeswoman, said the crane helped workers replace the rub timbers on the wing walls, the black barriers that halt the ferry. They were also replacing the counterweight cables on the ramps. “It’s pretty basic maintenance,” said Goldenberg, adding that it should wrap Thursday. “It’s scheduled to happen before we have an issue.”
Farmers market moves, still at Bayview Corner

A crane helps workers install new counterweight cables at the Clinton Ferry Terminal on Monday.
The Bayview farmers market will technically move south, though less than a hundred yards from its stomping grounds in the parking lot between Bayview Hall and the Bayview Cash Store. Its new location will be on the south side of Bayview Hall in view of Highway 525 and Bayview Road. Starting April 26, rain or shine, the Bayview market will operate between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. with farm products, bakery items, processed foods, hot foods and artisan wares. New this year will be wine tasting and there will be live music, chef demonstrations, coupon giveaways, vendor contests and events for children.

Seattle Men’s Chorus visits for benefit Performance raises money for victims of domestic abuse By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Voices from one of the largest choral organizations in Washington will travel to the South End for a performance benefiting victims of violence. The Seattle Men’s Chorus will perform a concert to benefit Island County’s Citizens Against Domestic & Sexual Abuse (CADA) next Saturday, April 5 at South Whidbey High School Performing Arts Center. The performance, “Totally Wicked,” will include music of Stephen Schwartz, who wrote hit musicals such as “Wicked,” “Pippin,” “Godspell,” and more. The event also features members from the Seattle Women’s Chorus and Diverse Harmony. This is the fourth time the group has performed on Whidbey to benefit victims of violence. In 2012, they performed to a sold-out audience. “The first time they were coming here, I didn’t know what to expect; I had no idea how much fun they have in their performances,” said Margie Porter, executive director of the citizens group. “It’s a really fun time.” The chorus enjoyed performing for the Island audience so much, they contacted the Island County group to perform again this year. “It’s an honor for us that they want to come back to this community,” Porter said. The event is the organization’s largest fundraiser for

“It’s a great way to celebrate public awareness of a difficult issue,” he said. “There’s important work being done at the shelter and throughout the Island County area. As a community, we don’t always talk about difficult issues such as domestic violence and sexual harassment. This is an uplifting way to highlight that work.” Waterman said he also appreciates Porter’s hard work for the group. “She makes CADA about more than just a shelter. She’s actively working for prevention, which is a different take than other service groups. She tries to end domestic violence, not just cope with it,” he said.

Hometown Hero
Jokinen: Life is about choices, not circumstances BY SUSAN KNICKERBOCKER Contributing Writer
Not all lessons in the classroom come from textbooks. Sometimes they come from special teachers, professionals such as South Whidbey’s Erik Jokinen. Jessie Sanders, a former South Whidbey student, learned such a lesson when he was in the seventh grade. He once told Jokinen that he didn’t have his homework because he was from a dysfunctional family. Jokinen showed empathy, but told the then-young man that his environment is not what defines him — his choices do. “I’ve never had positive family role models; growing up has been hard with my family,” Sanders said. “He told me I was falling into a trap using circumstances for an excuse to not do my best. It was the best advice I ever got.” The entire community benefits from teachers such as Erik Jokinen, according to parent Karyle Kramer, also a teacher. Although he is a physical education, or PE, teacher, Erik truly teaches life, she said. “He’s positive and caring, and holds a high bar,” Kramer said. “Our community’s kids are faced with complex challenges. Having Mr. Jokinen as a teacher and role model impacts them way beyond their middle school days.”
A tough childhood
Jokinen, his wife Colleen and two children live in a home they purchased as a fixer-upper. They renovated it themselves, together building a playhouse, playground, garden, greenhouse, and more recently a sports court for both their family and the community to enjoy. “My whole driver is my family first,” Jokinen says in his fast-paced and body-animated manner of speaking. He’s a natural storyteller, and even does voice impersonations. Jokinen’s philosophy is to impress on young people to stay active, healthy, be kind to others, and be grateful for any kindness shown to them. They shouldn’t allow adverse environments or circumstances to define them or be an excuse to become a stumbling block. Even bad role models are teachers, he said, and they show students what not to do. “I feel for kids today, and some of the home lives they have [are] tough,” he said. Reflecting on his own upbringing, with some humor, Jokinen said he worked from age nine to fifteen, 365 days a year. “I woke up at 4 a.m. to start my paper route before going to basketball practice and then school,” he said. In the summer he also rode his bike 10 miles to work full time at a golf

They moved at least 30 times, and usually to “flop houses” or a rented room in an old hotel in bad parts of town. He said he can laugh about it now, and reminisced about a family activity that he and his dad did making paper airplanes

out of the Yellow Pages. “We flew them out our hotel room window onto the busy, seedy street below, until the manager banged on our door,” he said, shaking his head and smiling with the memory. When Jokinen was a teenager, his parents were able to move into ‘somewhat of a house’ and they bought a $50 car.

“My dad took me out for a driving lesson one time in his old Chevy, threespeed column shift — ‘three on a tree’ — with a wornout grinding clutch,” said Jokinen, as he gets up and pretends to drive and perform the story with laughter. “The driver’s side door was bungie-corded together; I had to hold the door with one hand or it would swing wide open, with my other hand on the wheel.” The street was visible through a rusted out floorboard, and the tires were as “bald as a balloon.” “When I turned a corner, my dad yelled, ‘Hey! You just made me spill my drink.’ That was the end of the driving lessons,” he recalled. At times, the family lived in a car and often went hungry. He said his father once swallowed his pride and they all walked to the food bank. Upon arriving home, opening the two bags of groceries was like Christmas. Through this upbringing, Jokinen said he wanted to make certain he did not live like that as an adult. He made a choice to educate himself, and improve his own life. To this day, he said he doesn’t take anything for granted, even food. “I gained a work ethic from all my jobs that has stayed with me,” he said. “I know if I want something I have to work for it. I realized everyone is modeling something even if it’s what not to do.”

dents to find positive role models through people they meet or read about. He’s said he’s grateful for having coaches and teachers that were great role models. Through them he learned he had a shot at life despite his circumstances at home. He once told his coach he had to quit the team because he couldn’t afford the expenses. Right on the spot, the coach took out his checkbook, and said, “How much you need?” Jokinen didn’t take the money, but the offer and the lesson it contained stuck with him. To this day, he remains grateful for education and teachers and coaches that kept him on the right path. “Because of them I wanted to become a teacher to help students too,” he said. When he came to South Whidbey for an interview and met with then-Principal Greg Willis, he knew right away this was where he wanted to be. “Greg really went to bat for me,” he said, while pounding his heart. “It was one of those heart moments, and I knew I was supposed to teach here.” Young people today have a lot to deal with, said Jokinen, and many struggle with feelings of entitlement, such as for material objects like an iPod or for special treatment. And it isn’t just a youth problem — some adults feel the same way, he said. “I believe this is the single greatest issue facing young people today,” he said.
to the South Whidbey community. “Erik rocks,” said Shelly Ackerman, president of the Parent Teacher Association. “He is the perfect teacher because he is such a great combination of fun and nononsense.” Jokinen is the guy behind so many of the unique PE unit offerings, she said. He spends his personal time applying for grants, looking for used deals and sales, taking the equipment home to repair and fix. “He shows the kids a variety of activities, and inspires fitness for life,” she said. South Whidbey Elementary School PE specialist Craig Stelling calls Jokinen ‘Superman.’ First, he’s a strong and respected family man. As a coach, he’s blazed innovative programs, Stelling remarks. “Just a few of Erik’s unique South Whidbey Middle School offerings are windsurfing, kayaking, roller blading, rock wall climbing, and bicycling,” he said. “Erik provides workshops, and state-level PE clinics.” Jokinen says kids need to have fun and some healthy excitement too. “Today they are so bubble wrapped and coddled, they will look for the wrong kind of fun if we adults don’t offer up some healthy fun,” he said. “I get passionate about fun fitness for kids; I want to spread the gospel of activity.” “Teaching is just an extension of my own immaturity,” he laughed.

“Erik has been instrumental in developing one of the most effective physical education programs in our state here on South Whidbey. He has dedicated his life to kids, school and family.” Rocco Gianni, school board member and former South Whidbey teacher/coach “Erik lives and breathes physical education. He has built a top-notch PE program for our students at Langley Middle School. He is committed to lifelong fitness.” Sue Terhar, South Whidbey School District administrative assistant to superintendent “Since the day he arrived at Langley Middle School as a student teacher in 1990, Erik has never missed a beat. He is an exemplary leader and innovator who has constantly created rich learning experiences for his students. His love for kids and hard work have always served as a model. In addition to these amazing contributions to our community, the center of Erik’s life is, and always has been, his family.” Greg Willis, former principal of LMS “Erik Jokinen is a devoted husband, father, teacher, coach, and community member. His family comes first, always. He is a passionate teacher who raises the bar for all his students. He has a way of making those who are a bit less talented athletically feel like they can do it.” with a deep appreciation for other cultures).” IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY? “I would build a youth activity camp on a lake for impoverished children to get a chance to experience the outdoors and healthy activities they are not accustomed to.” STRENGTHS? “Passion, work ethic, humor” WEAKNESSES? “Knees, ankles, sarcasm” VALUES IMPARTED ON CHILDREN? “Think beyond yourself, stay positive, exercise for fun, treat your environment (family, community, earth) with respect.”

Mary Eaton, SWHS office administrator “Erik’s energy, enthusiasm, and humor capture students’ interest in learning, whether it is social studies or physical education. Because he believes in all students, they begin to believe in themselves and are willing to work hard to meet the high goals Erik sets. “ Lisa Bjork, former SWSD superintendent “I have always been amazed by Erik’s selfless devotion to coaching. He never takes a season off. He makes sure that all the kids on the team get equal playing time. All the kids are “stars” on Erik’s teams, and no one gets special treatment. Erik stresses the importance of the team.” Tim Young, an admiring friend of Jokinen’s Just because our schools don’t have funding, it doesn’t stop Erik from providing a challenging PE program. Erik will go the extra many miles writing grants, etc. All that Erik gives to his work he gives two-fold to his family. Erik has made the choice to put his family above all, and it shows in the happiness and beauty of his wife Colleen and their children Farriss and Dexter. Sharon Edwards, library clerk at LMS “Erik is an awesome family man and teacher/ coach. He’s an absolutely true asset to our children, the middle school and the South Whidbey School District. All good things begin with a dream and ‘Mr. J.’ is not a dream. He’s for real.”
Gail Corell, former LMS parent volunteer “Erik has so much energy and wisdom to share with our students. He is articulate, sensible, and passionate about helping students make healthy and positive choices. I love that he gives so much to our school, but he also gives so much to his family. He doesn’t just teach physical education in the classroom; he lives it daily.” Jennifer Campbell, SWSD teacher “Everything Erik does is a consistent message of hard work and positive attitude; he not only talks about it but leads by example. Erik always has his family’s and SW youths’ best interest in mind and gives of himself all the time.” Shauna Davies, school volunteer “Erik is a great coworker and friend. His energy and enthusiasm for kids is contagious. Erik has been a mentor and an inspiration to me. Teaching PE with him is fun.” Kathy Gianni, SWSD teacher “Erik is a team player with a very positive attitude and not at all full of a big ego. Every day he hustles, works hard and makes physical education fun for kids. Besides being a teacher he volunteers and puts his family first. He models fairness and sportsmanship in his choices and actions. He walks his talk.” John LaVassar, SWSD teacher

Books take on new life at festival Edible Book event brings community basketball court closer to finish By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record It’s the perfect combination — a fun book and a tasty treat. The second South Whidbey Edible Book Festival returns to Whidbey to celebrate books, art and food this Saturday, March 29. The festival is a twoprong contest and fundraiser to benefit the South Whidbey Parks and Aquatics Foundation. The foundation will donate funds collected from the festival to The Rotary Club of South Whidbey to build an outdoor
basketball court. For lead organizer Jill Yomnick, the festival is an entertaining way to raise money. She chose the parks foundation as a beneficiary because she believes in their mission to support parks and aquatics programs on the South End. Readers, bakers and enthusiasts enter either an appetizer, entree or dessert inspired by a book cover or character. The only requirement is that it’s edible. Entries will be judged for six categories; best in show, best visual presentation, most “Pun”derful, most appetizing, teen and children under 12. Entry is free and donations go toward building a full-sized basketball court at Community Park. The festival brought together many South Whidbey groups to put the dream of a community basketball court in its final months. Members from the

Edible Book Festival The festival will be from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 29 at Bayview Hall, 5642 Bayview Road, Langley. Judging and photography will be from 2 to 3 p.m. followed by a tasting for all. For more information email southwhidbeyediblebookfestival@gmail.com or call Yomnick at 360-3416406. South Whidbey Parks and Aquatics Foundation joined with The Rotary Club of South Whidbey, which is partnered with the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District. The club has raised $33,579 of the $39,870 needed to build the court. Fundraising for the project began in the fall of 2010. Rotary club member Louis Muniz said he was thrilled to have the support of the festival. The full-sized regulation court is expected to be installed sometime this spring or summer after a few more fundraising efforts, he said. “Every penny counts,” Muniz added. Krista Loercher, president of the South Whidbey Parks and Aquatics Foundation’s board, hopes to raise as much money as possible through the festival. The foundation’s mission is to facilitate partnerships and help support and finance parks and aquatics programs, such as the basketball court.
“We see this as a big win for all of us,” Loercher said of the festival. “Connecting that great event with a fullsized basketball court, a health-promoting activity for young and old is a win-winwin and we’re thrilled to be involved.” Prizes and gift certificates for winners of the festival were donated by several businesses including Moonraker Books, Book Lovers Book Exchange, Useless Bay Coffee Co., Mukilteo Coffee, Neil’s Clover Patch, Casey’s Crafts, Village Pizzeria, The Roaming Radish and Lind’s Freeland Pharmacy. The first festival began in France in 2000 and has since spread internationally. Yomnick first attended a festival in Seattle three years ago and thought having a similar event on South Whidbey would be a fun idea. “I think it’s a creative way to celebrate books, have fun and raise money at the same time,” Yomnick said of the festival.

Jill Yomnick displays her edible book inspired by the book “Where the Wild Things Are.” The edible book is a homemade apple spice cake. Last year kicked off the first festival on South Whidbey. About 30 entries were included and more than 100 people came to view the yummy, pun-filled treats. The short festival will include an hour of judging the entries, followed by a sampling to taste the creativity. The winners will be chosen by an audience vote. Yomnick hopes to see even more creative books this year. Some of her favorites from last year include a chocolate cake with a deco-
ration of owls burrowing out of the cake. It was inspired by the book “Hoot” and was “pretty adorable,” Yomnick remembers. Another notable entry was from Nancy Welles of Moonraker Books, who made a delicious dessert based on the book “The Elegance of the Hedgehog,” she said. “I think everybody likes Whyat the w a icreative t to s ave m on looking nigh for a eating f re e qu entries.

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.

ments that a balanced budget was adopted with a great bi-partisan effort. “The kind of support we saw literally hasn’t been seen in decades,” Smith said. Smith complained that news organizations only focus on what’s going wrong and that she was there to say good things are also happening. “I’m here to tell you things
are going right,” Smith said. The public that attended took advantage of the question and answer portion of the meeting, quizzing the three elected officials on issues ranging from transportation issues to matters of government accountability. Freeland resident Bob Walters started things off by asking how far each were willing to go to address tax reform and education and transportation funding issues. Hayes said efforts are
underway to lower transportation costs, which he claimed are more expensive in Washington, and also reiterated Bailey’s early report that “two-thirds of increased spending” went to higher education. “We are addressing that issue; we’re getting there,” Hayes said. Bailey and Smith both talked about the long-standing debate over Washington’s lack of a state income tax, and also the state’s business and operation tax which is

“crushing small businesses,” Smith said. Mirroring recent local debates, public park funding was also an a topic of discussion, with Langley resident Kim Drury asking what efforts had been made to make the system more sustainable. “I think our state park system is in a crisis,” she said. Smith claimed that more than 50 percent of the state is publicly owned and that government must focus on maintaining what it has. “To me, we need to slow this acquisition,” Smith said. Finally, Clinton resident Doug Hofius said it seems that Mukilteo is receiving the focus of state financial dollars — Washington State Ferries investment in a new terminal — when Clinton is struggling just to survive. “Our town is blight, it’s dying,” Hofius said.
“We’re kinda asking for your help to make things more reasonable on our side of the water because our people work at Boeing too,” he said. Bailey responded by saying the Clinton Ferry Dock could have been better and that it may be looked at during the next biennium to see what improvements might be made. “It really begs the question about a few things that probably should have been in the design of that ferry dock,” Bailey said. Hayes seconded the comment, saying that the state Department of Transportation, Ferries Division, “give more weight to ferry communities” when considering future projects. “Right now there is no way ... but your statement doesn’t fall on deaf ears,” Hayes said.
COMMONS CONTINUED FROM A1
they were not anticipating a hit to business during the construction like the one Henderson said it sustained. “It was just the timing,” Henderson said, later adding: “It got clearer every month. We were operating with too much overhead.” Henderson confirmed that three paid part-time employees quit, including an AmeriCorps representative. All three positions are now filled by trainees of the Commons’ learn-towork program that gives students an opportunity to get a first work experience in customer service, brewing coffee and making cappuccinos. “We’ve hired them and they seem to be working out well, happy to have a paid position,” said Henderson of the new employees. The South Whidbey Commons, other than its mortgage and some of its supply contracts, does not have any debt. Henderson said the board was not considering taking out a loan to pay for any operations at the time and that the Commons would remain open for the foreseeable future. “Having made this move, we can afford our cost structure,” she said. The Commons returned to its operations manager-board of directors format, hiring a former Commons trainee Katy Wilson-Albert to run the day-to-day business at the cafe. Brought to you by:
