Parks district to seek levy hike on April ballot measure By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Declining revenue, rising material costs and increasing responsibilities spurred the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District to seek its first levy increase next month. Voters from Freeland to Clinton will have their say about the 3-cent maintenance and operations levy-lift request — it’s been 15 cents since 1983 — on the April 22 ballot. In a presentation prepared by the parks staff, the increased levy amount would boost the district’s budget by $115,000. That money will help the district’s operations and will not go toward building new facilities like the discussed and once-rejected aquatic center or additional properties such Ben Watanabe / The Record
Fred McCarthy, at the front of the crowd and to the right, shares some of the history of the steering committee that is proposing a phased $10.12 million plan to redesign the Island County Fairgrounds over 10 years at a public meeting Wednesday, March 26.
Critics blast fairgrounds plan Meeting agenda withers under public’ s demand to be heard By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Lynna Baker, co-president of the Whidbey Western Games Association, tells the Island County Fairgrounds steering committee she does not like the reduced size of the horse arena and the plan to pave the RV lot.
People were loud and clear in their objections about a proposal to make over the Island County Fairgrounds during a meeting Wednesday night in Langley. Originally planned by the proposal’s steering committee to be a sit-and-write your comments session, the meeting quickly careened into a public hearing of sorts over the plan to demolish, relocate and renovate the buildings and property at the fairgrounds in Langley. And the 50-plus people gathered in the Coffman Building — one of the sites tagged for demolition in the proposal crafted by Anacortes-based consultant Norm Landerman-Moore — were vocal in their opposition to many elements of the $10.12 million, 10-year plan and its perceived attempt to alter the fair’s character. “I’ve been down here 38 years,” said Rufus Rose. “And I’ve noticed a culture shift … away from agriculture and into
some suburban effort.” At times, the meeting teetered on the edge of a shouting match, though it would have been a largely one-sided fight. The crowd demanded, and was granted the right, to be heard and not relegated to writing down their opinions and ideas without hearing from their neighbors and fellow fair supporters. Ray Gabelein Jr. called the meeting’s original structure a “divide-and-conquer tactic” used by politicians to quell upset citizens. Gabelein disagreed with the assertion by fair management that many of the buildings were in need of serious work. He chastised Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, who acted as the meeting’s facilitator from among the present steering committee members, for saying that the buildings were deteriorating. “Go take a look at the buildings,” he said. When McCarthy said he had, Gabelein responded, “Then put your SEE FAIR, A12

Port ponders beach access signs on SW By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Public beach access signs may soon be more abundant around South Whidbey. Port of South Whidbey Commissioners agreed to work with Island Beach Access, a citizen advocacy group, in establishing signs for public access areas during a special meeting Tuesday, March 25. The beach access group applied for funds from the port during the regular meeting earlier this month. The group hoped to build a website identifying public access areas from the $5,000 in funds the group sought from the port. In the initial proposal, commissioners were left unclear if the money would be used primarily to establish a website or for fieldwork to SEE BEACH ACCESS, A13

Ebey’s Reserve marijuana restrictions removed By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Island County Planning Commission members heard the concerns of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve farmers and removed restrictions on recreational marijuana operations in that area this week. “After we heard the testimony of folks who have lived there for years, we were all pretty well convinced,” said Planning Commissioner Scott Yonkman. “Placing restrictions in the reserve didn’t fit as we first thought it might.” The restrictions were taken out of the findings and recommendations approved by the planning commission Tuesday. This information will now be used to draft a marijuana ordinance that will go before the county commissioners for approval. Farmers claimed the restriction on the reserve granted “farmers outside the reserve an unfair competitive advantage and sets a dangerous precedent,” wrote Charles Arndt in a letter to county leadership. The county is in the process of developing an ordinance in response to the state’s passing of Initiative 502, which legalized recreational marijuana. The county put a six-month moratorium in place while they research and develop regulations. County leadership is hoping to have an ordinance in place before the moratorium expires in May. Originally, the planning commission recommended that the county restrict marijuana operations to the smallest tier — 2,000 square feet or less — and not allow processing and retail operations. Dozens of Ebey’s Reserve

A farmer plows a field near Crockett Lake in Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve Thursday. On Tuesday, the Island County Planning Commission removed restrictions on recreational marijuana operations in the reserve. farmers told planning commissioners by letter and at a public forum in March that they did not want Ebey’s Reserve to be treated any different when it comes to marijuana. “As farmers farming within the boundaries of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, this potential precedent-setting infringement on the flexibility, competi-
tiveness and sustainability of the agriculture is of deep concern to us,” stated a letter signed by nine residents. The Ebey’s Reserve Trust Board agreed with farmers, in a letter released this week, that existing county guidelines on development in the reserve should suffice and no additional marijuanaspecific regulation would be necessary.

no longer restrict marijuana operations in the reserve, the planning commission still defines the crop as “unlike other plants grown and processed as typical agricultural practices,” a move that many farmers disagree with. This definition was created because marijuana is subject to tracking, is a controlled substance, may not be traded at farm stands and is expected to be grown primarily indoors, according to the recommendations. “All products grown in Washington are subject to tracking, accounting, state licensing and security at all levels,” Josh Frank Harvey wrote to the county. “I question the factual basis of your finding … .” Yonkman said that for him, the decision to define marijuana as not quite agriculture was due to its classification as a controlled substance. “It’s the primary thing I latched onto and made me feel it was a good decision,” Yonkman said.

CLARIFICATION In the editorial “Ethics committee a good thing for Langley,” on page A6 of the Wednesday, March 26 edition of The Record, the timeline of the ethics ordinance was unclear. It was originally passed by the Langley City Council in December 2013 with the provision to create a standing ethics board. The ordinance was amended and stripped of the standing ethics board at the city council’s Feb. 18 meeting. The amended ordinance was passed by a 4-1 vote at the March 3 meeting. of a naming contest with only two submissions, Chief Rusty Palmer said the district will look elsewhere. Palmer said a couple of possible names were submitted at a recent all-district meeting. They hope also to get suggestions from the community. The boat, manufactured almost entirely in the Freeland shop of North Cross Aluminum, may be in service as soon as April 1. A recent overheating issue arose, said Palmer, that required the expansion tank for the cooling system be moved closer to the engine. “We’ve just got to wait until that’s resolved [before it can go into
active service],” Palmer said.

LMS student heads to state geography bee By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record This Langley Middle School geography bee winner is heading to the state National Geographic Bee competition for the second year in a row? If you answered with “Who is Carli Newman?” television Jeopardy sensation Alex Trebek would surely give a nod. Armed with an atlas, an iPad app and help from her mom, seventh-grade student Carli is preparing to take on the state’s best minds Friday, April 4 at Pacific Lutheran University. This is the second year Carli, 13, has attended the state competition — she represented Langley Middle School in 2013 as a sixth grader. “I’m nervous, but excited this year,” she said. To prepare for the bee, she has been studying a little each day. “It’s fun to get the high score,” she said of studying with the National Geography Bee application on her iPad. “Some questions are easy, some are hard.” Earlier in the year, students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades participated in the preliminary competition during social studies class. In late January, 16 finalists from each grade squared off for the seat to state. Carli came in first with eighthgrade student Sean Miles as the runner-up. Social studies teacher
Jack Terhar organized the geography bee at the school and said it’s hard to predict the outcomes going into the competition because the questions are so varied. “One student could get a question about geography in Missouri, the next could be Idaho or even Washington,” he said. Terhar has taught Carli since the beginning of this year and thinks she has a few good strengths to help her in the competition. “She does a lot of geography-type stuff on her own,” he said. “And the fact that she’s quite smart [helps].” “My expectation is that she will definitely represent Langley Middle School
well. That’s what she does,” he said. Leading up to the competition, Carli said she is focusing on current events, something she struggled with last year. Carli enjoys learning about geography and wants to travel more. She hopes to visit other countries including Germany, where her family is from. So far, she’s been to 12 states and Canada. Carli said it was meaningful being one of the few girls in the competition last year. Of the 100 students who participated in 2013, all but 11 were boys, she said. “I’m just proud I’m a girl doing this,” she added.

Editor’s column A night to remember on Puget Sound By JUSTIN BURNETT
When I was 14, I spent the night stranded aboard a 20-foot sailboat hard aground in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. An evening of tropical breezes spent with my first high school sweetheart, it was hardly a traumatic experience. We were returning from a long day sailing to Coconut Island — made famous as the profile of “Gilligan’s Island” — when the boat came to an abrupt halt. While we did our best to free the small boat, she was hopelessly stuck and we were forced to spend the evening huddled below, using sails as blankets. As freshmen in high school, the evening was quite innocent, I assure you. A third person was also along, a mutual friend, and we were just kids after all, though I’m not so sure the girl’s father saw it quite the same way. I spent the next morning making a concerted effort to avoid the angry man. More than 20 years later, shivering in the cockpit of yet another hopelessly grounded sailboat this past Thursday evening in the Oak Harbor channel, that memory came flooding back to me. But as I looked at my three crew mates — this time a bunch of crusty sea dogs — I knew this would be a much different experience. We weren’t in any real danger and the mood was cheery, but the potential for misery was there. Instead of a warm sail, I was wrapped in a damp towel — a result of an unsuccessful effort to free us — and the boat lay at an uncomfortable 45-degree angle. We were training for a race in Anacortes this weekend, and the boat was long ago turned into a floating hot rod. Stripped of all luxuries, it has no cushions, no heat, no food; just racing gear and cold, hard bunks. I won’t be so cruel as to identify the skipper here, though my warnings went unheeded. No doubt, the man’s shame is burning bright enough as it is and this column is the “I told you so” of all time. It should be noted that our captain was quick to redeem himself. He made a few calls, and in short order a young man named Nick was ferrying us back to the marina, our warm cars and our worried and lovely wives. So while this wasn’t quite the adventure of my youth, it was a memorable one nonetheless and a sea tale worthy of repeating. And for any who would scoff at our stouthearted and patient leader, know this: it was Mayhem out there and each of us on board was a willing Joiner. Wish us luck this weekend as we kick tail in Anacortes.

Lawmakers droned on about accomplishments Editor, We attended the Town Hall meeting of our three Republican state legislators in Langley last week on Thursday. It was a waste of our time. The legislators droned on for a total of 60 minutes painting a rosy picture of all their numerous, bipartisan accomplishments. During the last two legislative sessions, there was virtually nothing accomplished on a bipartisan basis in the state Legislature, dealing with taxes, transportation, wages, health care, worker rights, unions, government transparency, and even education — there was no bipartisanship shown by our three legislators or any other Republican in Olympia. With only 30 minutes for questions, just six questions were asked before
everyone had to leave. For four of the questions each legislator took the microphone to drone on, frequently not fully addressing the concerns of the questioner. My question for Senator Bailey is: Many voters in the district have serious concerns about your lengthy history of sponsoring, co-sponsoring and otherwise supporting bills that are based on “model” legislation written by the corporate-sponsored American Legislative Exchange Council (or ALEC). This past session alone you sponsored, co-sponsored and/or otherwise supported a number of bills that were part of ALEC’s national legislative campaign against low-paid workers. For example, you and your fellow ALEC-affiliated legislators in the Senate introduced ALEC “model” legislation designed to weaken or repeal state minimum wage laws and overtime compensation rules (SB 5158), reduce minimum wages for young or “new” workers (SB 5275) and stop

Park fields
Public fields meant to be used Editor, The public South Whidbey Parks & Rec District playing fields must be as fully utilized as the public wishes them to be. There is risk if the fields are lumpy, bumpy, frozen or full of holes, but most of us grew up using sports fields in far worse condition than what we have today. While “the good old days” is no excuse for not maintaining the playing fields, perhaps the field maintenance bar doesn’t need to be set so high. Keeping the public off the fields seems to oppose the purpose of having the fields in public ownership. Let the sports fields be sports fields, lumps and bumps included. Determine what the actual standard of athletic sports fields for insurance purposes needs to be, and use that standard, not higher. It’s a compliment to the good job that the parks district is doing that the fields look great, and also that the public wants more access to our fields. I think the fact that we have such a large demand for the use of the public fields is fantastic, and I hope it means we are providing youth and adults the services they want and need, to want to continue to live here or to move here (and fill some of our vacant houses). A recent news article quoted a comment say-
WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM
ing the district staff’s paramount duty was to be “responsible stewards of the district’s assets.” I do not agree. The staff and directors’ paramount duty is to provide the public services/facilities that the public wants. This is why the South Whidbey Parks & Rec District was created. Caring for the district’s assets is just one part of those duties. Within the primary/paramount duty to provide the public ser vices/facilities that the public wants also comes the responsibility to maintain the assets, stay within the budget, properly account for the financials of the district, discuss and plan for potential issues, weak links, projected new projects and programs and/ or other long-range ideas and issues. LEANNE FINLAY Freeland
Fair proposal
Public got its say at fair meeting Editor, At the most recent meeting for commentary on the Fairgrounds Strategic Plan, facilitators almost sidetracked the public’s desire to speak out. However, the audience prevailed, and, as a result, we all heard some good ideas. Improved camping facilities, an adequately-sized covered horse arena, adopta-building, a re-energized volunteer base, among oth-
ers, all carry the potential to save the fair. Implementing ideas like these will neither make nor cost millions. They can preserve the fairgrounds though, both fiscally and in character. It appears that some of the steering committee and commissioners have been lured by economics; they have forgotten that public resources exist not as equity for gambling on business ventures, but to provide for the public good. If the primary goal is to “save the fair,” then the plan ought to reflect that vision. Instead, this plan gives secondary importance to the needs of a rural agricultural fair. Mr. Landerman-Moore [the consultant hired to draft the plan] proposes to bulldoze our heritage, marginalize the animal facilities, trade our charisma for consumerism, and sell out the heart and soul of generations of volunteers. The plan destroys the fair it was claiming to save. In the guise of “wanting to hear our good ideas,” the facilitators attempted to silence criticism and seemed to forget that experts required several months and $71,000 to draft a really bad plan. We are just ordinary people, not paid experts, the public needs time to brainstorm a vision for a sustainable fairgrounds that maintains the island’s character. If the invitation to participate is sincere, we will come. However, until they abandon Landerman-Moore’s ill-
Page A7
fitting plan, we are forced to continue hammering away at it, diverting energy that could otherwise be directed toward a constructive future for the fair. So, if our commissioners really want our good ideas, they must reject the plan outright. If they really think the plan is salvageable, I suggest page 30, which reads, “This page intentionally left blank.” Let’s restart this planning process with a blank page, build on our solid community foundation, and retain the heart and soul of our fair. After all, that is what draws people here. ALORIA LANSHAW Clinton

Saturday, March 29, 2014 • The South Whidbey Record
Falcon soccer weathers the storm Hamsa hits walk-off single By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
Talk about weathering a storm. South Whidbey’s boys soccer team survived a back-and-forth battle with King’s through strong winds and heavy rain with a late goal Tuesday night. After both teams failed to find the back of the net, South Whidbey junior Kai da Rosa took a cross from junior Andy Zisette in the King’s goal box. His first shot was stymied by two King’s defenders. In the scrum, they fell in the slick field and da Rosa pressed on seeing only an open goal in front of him. “In the box, it was just a scramble and I was the one who wanted it the most,” said da Rosa, who scored his first varsity goal in stoppage time against King’s. The boisterous South Whidbey fans that braved the downpour erupted in cheers after seeing the goal that lifted the Falcons 1-0 over the Knights. “That’s what I live for as a striker, hearing that roar from the stands,” da Rosa said. “Knowing that I have support from my teammates makes it even better.” Winning the game was important for South Whidbey’s playoff position. The Falcons, as one of the three 1A teams in the Cascade Conference, need to finish in the top two to advance to the 1A District 1 playoffs. Beating King’s in the first conference game of the season put South Whidbey in position to be the first-place 1A team. Play from both teams was, at times, brutal. The field was soaked and the ball was wet, making precision passing difficult. But where the finesse of the game was limited by the weather and field conditions, the players’ willingness to slide for the ball and bump into one another for possession seemed to come and go with the weather. “I think it was attributed to the field and the rain, a lot of weather factors,” said Falcon senior Jaidin Jones of the field play. “We picked it up in the second half and kept our composure.” South Whidbey’s offense played in flurries of shots on goal while King’s

Early in the game, Falcon junior goalie Charlie Stelling made a pair of saves by punching out high shots on the goal, including an athletic leap to save a lofted shot in the sixth minute. Perhaps no save was more important than one made by junior Bryce Auburn. A long through-ball appeared to be readily handled by Stelling, but he slipped and the ball tumbled along toward an open South Whidbey goal. But Auburn sprinted into the play and was able to boot the ball out of bounds. Play was stopped for about five minutes at the start of the second half, with the game still scoreless, as a gust sent the King’s canopy tent onto the field. From there, South Whidbey seemed to have the King’s offense handled, as the Falcons only allowed a pair of shots in the second half. During a quick transition run by the Falcons, Jones had a look at the goal inside the box, but his spin-around kick was blocked by the Knights’ keeper. “We try and keep high defense, even when we’re on offense,” Jones said. “If the ball gets shot, we know they’re Open

looking for that guy to pass it to.” A few minutes later, during the extended stoppage time, South Whidbey’s offense stopped King’s transition with Zisette taking the ball down the right sideline. He sent the ball in front of the King’s goalie box to da Rosa, who was met by a pair of defenders that stopped his first shot. But they fell, and da Rosa hopped over them and shot again for the open goal. “I had just gotten taken out and was getting ready to be put back in and my coach said to me, ‘Kai, eye of the tiger,’ ” da Rosa said. “And that just really went to my head. I tried to do everything I could and make coach proud.” South Whidbey used that momentum in two more games this week. On Wednesday, the Falcons defeated the Overlake Owls in Redmond 3-1 in a non-league match. Zisette scored on an assist from da Rosa. Jeff Meier scored a pair of goals on assists from Kameron Donohoe and Lochlan Roberts. Playoff stakes remained high Friday as South Whidbey faced the other 1A Cascade Conference team and its island rival, Coupeville.
South Whidbey’s baseball team has had two seventh-inning rally wins in its past three games, though head coach Tom Fallon would rather lead from the start. The Falcons won 5-4 against the Lakewood Cougars on Wednesday on a walk-off single that capped a three-run rally. “I love the never-saydie attitude, but it sure would be nice to play with a lead,” Fallon said. Against Lakewood on March 26, South Whidbey led much of the game. The Falcons were up 2-0, including a solo home run by senior Nick Bennett, who was 2-for-2 at the plate with a home run and a walk. Lakewood first got on the board in the fifth inning and jumped ahead on three more runs, though only two were earned, in the seventh inning. Suddenly, South Whidbey trailed 4-2 and was three outs from a loss. In the seventh inning, the Falcons had their top hitters step to the plate. Then came the first out, then the second, and it appeared to be another late-inning loss. But Falcon senior Colton Sterba knocked a single, injecting some life into South Whidbey’s players. Ricky Muzzy, a junior, followed with a single to put two runners on
base. Brent Piehler, a junior who pitched into the seventh inning for South Whidbey, ripped a double into the outfield and brought home both Falcon runners to tie the game at 4-4. Enter Mo Hamsa — who slapped a line drive single for the RBI walk-off hit that won the game — and the ensuing mob that piled on him after the dramatic victory at South Whidbey High School. “It was right where I wanted it: a little up and a little out,” Hamsa said. “I had the easy job. Brent had the hard part. The game was tied, all I had to do was win the game.” Piehler, who pitched into the final frame, allowed only four hits and two earned runs. Fallon recalled a pair of stellar defensive plays, one from Muzzy who played catcher and threw out a Lakewood player attempting to steal second base. Falcon senior Jake Sladky made a scoresaving catch at the fence to end the top of the fourth inning. “Jake was full-on running back toward the fence and jumped to make the catch,” Fallon said. South Whidbey traveled to Lakewood for the final game in the series on Friday, after The Record went to press.

OH attorney accused of stealing from WAIF donor By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Alleged theft and money laundering by a former Oak Harbor attorney resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars for Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation, according to the president of the nonprofit group’s board. Douglas Saar, 40, formerly of the Law Office of Skinner and Saar, is accused of stealing from estates he represented, including one that named Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation, commonly known as WAIF, as the sole beneficiary. Saar pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court Monday to four counts of theft in the first degree, one count of theft in the second degree and nine counts of money laundering. Both Superior Court judges recused themselves, so a judge from Skagit County Superior Court appeared telephonically. Whidbey resident Jean Froman bequeathed her estate to WAIF, which runs animal shelters for Island County and the city of Oak Harbor. The estimated value was $550,000, according to Bob Rupp, the president of the volunteer board. Rupp estimates that WAIF will end up receiving about $140,000 of the money, due to the alleged thefts and the fees owed to new attorneys who are settling the estate complicated by Saar’s alleged actions. Saar allegedly took about $180,000 from the Froman estate, according to Rupp and Cindy Wilbert, the treasurer for WAIF. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks confirmed that WAIF was the beneficiary of the Froman estate, but he didn’t know the exact amount of the suspected theft or the loss. Rupp said it’s not uncommon for people to give part or all of their estates to WAIF. But the Froman estate was especially large and would have come at an opportune time. “It would have been very helpful because we’re building a new shelter,” he said. “The $3.8-million facility will be a blessing to the entire community.” Last summer, Saar pleaded guilty in San Juan Superior Court to stealing nearly $100,000 from the Wilson Trust. He was sentenced to 30 days of electronic home detention and 240 hours of community restitution. New York Times best selling novelist

Documentary spotlights employee-owned businesses Clinton filmmakers land slot on KCTS 9 for ‘SHIFT CHANGE’ By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Two Clinton documentary filmmakers are taking their message to the American living room. Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young’s film “SHIFT CHANGE” will premiere at 5 p.m. Sunday, April 6 on KCTS 9. The documentary explores employee-owned businesses succeeding in today’s economy. Dworkin and Young filmed six worker cooperatives in the U.S. and in the Basque Country of Spain. The pair has filmed documentaries for 25 years, including “Argentina – Hope in Hard Times” in 2005 and “Good Food” in 2008. Film festivals, theaters and universities screened “SHIFT CHANGE” film in 2012, but this is the first time it will be available on PBS. The two filmmakers were inspired by the successful venture in Spain called Mondragon Cooperatives. They wanted to make a film looking at a different type of business for people during

Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young discuss their latest documentary “SHIFT CHANGE,” which premieres on KCTS 9 at 5 p.m. Sunday, April 6. the current hard economic times. “People are so concerned about jobs — decent paying jobs — and about the growing economic inequalities in the country,” Young said. “Really I think people are looking for some creative new solutions that will work, and businesses that will stay put in a community and not move away.” Dworkin and Young gained rare access to the Mondragon Cooperatives,
which is the world’s oldest and largest cooperative network. While filming, Dworkin said it was exciting to see people with a sense of community who worked together and were supportive of each other. In the Basque Country, 60 percent of residents are employee-owners. The area also has half the unemployment rate as the rest of Spain. “I was amazed,” he said. “The people are prosper-
ous and have a good way of life that these kind of businesses can provide.” Dworkin and Young explore the success of employee-owned businesses and the benefits of its principles. In most cooperatives, the prevailing mission is aimed toward the common good, the wellbeing of employees and making money, which is purposely not the top priority. Dworkin said this is a key difference between a

cooperative and businesses such as a publicly-traded company. Because employees have a stake in the business in a cooperative, they have a deep understanding of what they are doing, Dworkin said. The cooperative is a privately-owned business and success is important, but the community and employee-owners are paramount. “Folks are wellinformed,” he added. Dworkin hopes the film inspires creative solutions to the growing economic disparities. This model of an employee-owned business is a practical answer to create good-paying jobs that stay in communities, he said. Young said she enjoys
working on films about contemporary issues, but instead of reliving the issues, she wants to offer a solution. “These films are looking toward what is already happening that we can build on. Rather than confining ourselves to critique significant problems, we look for possibilities,” she said. Worker cooperatives are just one part of building a more sustainable economy, she said. “It’s a piece that we don’t have to wait for federal policy in order to create it,” she said. “I like being able to show those types of examples. Especially at this point in time, I think people are looking for some changes.”

glasses on.” Near the end of the meeting, which lasted more than two hours, someone asked McCarthy and the steering committee if they were going to present the proposal, as it existed, to the Island County commissioners. McCarthy said that after the strong disapproval of many elements in the plan, it was unlikely. “I think it’s a snowball’s chance in the hot place of the steering committee presenting this plan to the county commissioners,” McCarthy said. People were concerned with the risk presented in the proposal. One issue at the top of people’s worries was the possibility of losing the property to creditors.
Under the proposal, the preferred option is to create a public development authority to oversee the property, which would be transferred from Island County to the authority. Were the Island Event Center Development Authority — the placeholder name for the managing board of directors of the property — to default on its debt incurred by the project, the 12.8-acre property could be lost. One concern over the plan raised by Gabelein and others was the projected revenue’s reliance on parking fees. The grass lot used as RV parking south of the property would be paved and lined and then used to bring in money, and the Langley Middle School field north of the fairgrounds would be used as well, though the school district has not yet agreed to the deal. Gabelein brought up

the ability of people to park plenty of places within a mile of the fairgrounds for free. He also said the idea that Whidbey Island farmers markets would all relocate and rent the Market Place facility, one of the buildings to be built in the first phase, was a stretch, noting that the Tilth Farmers Market just north of Bayview owned its farmland. “I think the consultant missed local conditions,” Gabelein said. Several people criticized the numbers and projections in the proposal, especially the amount of revenue that would be needed to cover the costs. “There are only two facts in this plan,” said Jeff Lauderdale. “The first is that the fair is in trouble. The second is that a lot of people live around Puget Sound.” Even partial supporters had serious qualms with the proposal. Lynna Baker, the co-president of the horse riding group Whidbey Western Games Association, said that even though she and other horse owners liked the prospect of a covered arena to use year-round, the loss of a grass RV lot nixed their ability to host events because the pavement was not suitable for their horses or camping. Concerns over higher rental rates were also shared by Baker, who said she was displeased with the proposed covered horse

BEACH ACCESS CONTINUED FROM A1
determine the exact areas of public use. Commissioner Curt Gordon said he hoped to receive an application to establish signs for public access areas from both the water and land side, an idea which was discussed with Island Beach Access members in earlier meetings. The commissioners asked the group to come back with more details on how they would use the money. Members of the beach access group were in attendance to discuss the process of pinpointing the exact measurements of public areas. They expressed their concerns over accurately identifying all the locations before installing signs. “Accuracy here is paramount if you want to put up signs that you want to keep in place,” said Mike McVay of Island Beach Access. Commissioners Dennis Gregoire and Ed Halloran suggested to start with a small number of signs where the locations were definite. “The port wants to support citizens for public access,” Gregoire said. “They’ve done great work.

The issues identified here are complicated and need to be carefully requested.” The commissioners agreed to continue the discussion and leave the grant amount as a placeholder. The group will work with port staff in the next few months to establish a definite plan on how the money is used. “This needs to be clean because we’re using public funding,” Gordon said. In the March regular meeting, the Port also approved grants for several other groups. The Whidbey Island Conservation District received $1,000 for advertising and promotion of the Whidbey Island Farm Tour, South Whidbey Assembly of God received $1,010 for portable toilets for Celebrate America and the Orca Network received $5,000 for the Langley Whale Center. Also, the Clinton Chamber of Commerce received $4,270 for the Clinton Thursday Market, Clinton Progressive Association received $800 for Mayfest promotion and the Greater Freeland Chamber of Commerce received $5,000 for tourism brochures. The amount requested totaled $22,080, with $5,000 held aside for Island Beach Access.

LEVY CONTINUED FROM A1
as the county-owned Dave Mackie Park or Dan Porter Park. “It is not for anything new,” said Parks Director Doug Coutts. “We are not adding anything, we are not taking on any new properties.” “We’re taking care of our current responsibilities first before we look at anything else,” he later added. At 18 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, the owner of a $300,000 property within the parks district boundary would pay $54 for the parks levy. According to the district informational presentation, additional funds would allow the district to cover its reserve fund and cash on hand, and create a small capital projects fund. The reserve fund is the account that kicks in if a levy fails, and includes 25 percent of the year’s operating costs. Cash on hand helps the district operate through the first three months of every year until the next year’s levy payment is received by the parks district from the county. Coutts said the cash on hand was $20,000 below what was required by the parks commissioners this year. Remaining money would be put into a small capital projects fund. “The 18 cents will allow us to replenish that by 2016,” Coutts said. “We will establish a capital projects fund to handle some of the smaller items, like if we have to replace a roof, or pavement overlays.” Since 2009 when the district received its highest funding from the maintenance and operations levy, the district’s assets have increased and its revenue has plummeted. Today, the district manages more than 320 acres of public property at Community Park, the Sports Complex, Trustland Trails, and Deer, Lone and Goss lakes. The lakes, though owned by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, were taken over as managed properties by the parks district in 2010, as
1609 E. Main Street Freeland 360.221.6111 www.lindsjewelry.com
property values began to dip in Island County. The parks staff, composed of two maintenance employees and one facility and grounds supervisor — three people for 320 acres across the district — try to visit the lakes twice a week during the fall and winter. During spring and summer when the lakes see more use, the visits increase to tend to the grass, remove garbage and check bathrooms. Tending to the state-owned lakes did not come with a single penny of state funding for the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District. “When we took on the lakes, we didn’t know what the impact would be,” said Don Wood, the parks board chairman. “It’s not a lot, but it is an impact.” Commissioners unanimously approved the 18-cent levy request in January for the April ballot. It will be the only item in the election on South Whidbey, and the parks district will have to pay for the cost of processing the 12,008 ballots, the amount of which was not known by the parks district or the Island County Elections Office. Seeking the April vote was necessary so the district could put the levy on the ballot again in November if voters reject the increase. The 3-cent increase was chosen because it would come close to restoring the district’s funding to what it was in 2009, Wood said. “What we didn’t want to do was go for the 20 cents and not have a plan for the money,” he said.

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.
