Filing week yields several surprises Auditor fires challenger for “breaking trust” By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record The election season turned a little ugly even before filing week was over. As of mid-day Friday, the candidate filing period yielded a number of surprises in both county and state races, not the least of which was in the race for Island County treasurer. Wanda Grone, the Island County chief deputy treasurer, filed to run against her boss, Ana Maria Nuñez, without letting her know. Grone is a Republican and Nuñez is a Democrat. In fact, the South Whidbey Record broke the news to a shocked Nuñez Tuesday afternoon. Since then, Nuñez said, she’s deliberated, cried and prayed over what to do. Thursday, she fired Grone. “The chief deputy position is one that requires loyalty. It’s someone who is the confidant of the elected official,” she said. “It’s someone I need to be able to trust.” Nuñez said that Grone’s decision to run against her and not tell her ahead of time broke that trust. Grone could not be reached for comment. The chief deputy is an atwill position, which means Grone serves at the pleasure of the treasurer. Nuñez said she hired her after coming into office.

FIRST STREET GRAND PLAN UNVEILED “It’s not about me. ... It’s about the future.” — Richard Francisco By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Langley property owner Richard Francisco has unveiled big plans for two new mixed-use, three-story buildings on First Street. After owning seven lots for two decades, Francisco said that right now is the right time to look at jumping into the fray of improvements in the city. “I’m seeing some great things in Langley,” he said, not-

ing the Second Street redesign, the expanded marina at South Whidbey Harbor and businesses like Useless Bay Coffee Company as adding to the city’s attractiveness. “For 20 years, nothing was really happening.” Francisco unveiled his plans, which he adamantly describes as being conceptual, at a special Langley City Council and Planning Advisory Board meeting May SEE FIRST STREET, A16

Rise of the tent caterpillars

Justin Burnett / The Record

Becky Bell, a Clinton merchant, makes a face as she picks off tent caterpillars from a tree at Ken’s Korner.

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Some think they’re cool, others say they’re gross. While opinions on tent caterpillars seem to vary, there is one

thing no one seems to dispute — the little buggers are everywhere. Estimated by experts to number in the billions, they’re wiggling and munching their way across communities throughout Western Washington,

and South Whidbey is no exception. Trees they plague, consuming leaves and coating branches like a moving SEE CATERPILLARS, A24

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record A well-known Langley businesswoman may become the first person to open a retail marijuana store on the South End. Maureen Cooke, owner of Mo’s Pub and Eatery, filed an application with the Washington State Liquor Control Board to open the Whidbey Island Cannabis Company at a location in Bayview. Cooke hasn’t gotten the final OK from state regulators yet, but said she is “99 percent” through the review and qualification process. “It looks like I might be the very first licensee,” Cooke said. “I’m very excited about it,” she added. Unlike other communities where large numbers of applicants required lotteries to determine who would be considered, one wasn’t necessary on Whidbey Island. Island County has a quota of four retail pot shops — including one earmarked for Oak Harbor — and Cooke was one of four applicants who have made it through the criminal background checks, financial inspection and other aspects of the licensing process so far. The others include Freeland businessman Lucas Jushinski, owner of Island Alternative Medicine, and Herbs and Buds and W&L Holdings in Oak Harbor. Staff at Jushinski’s shop said he was out of the country this week and could not be reached for comment. According to his application with the state, Jushinski will operate the SEE MARIJUANA, A14

Volunteers and supporters gather for the dedication ceremony of the edible garden in May 2013. In the photo’s front row are: Jeff Arango, Cathy Rooks, Janet Ploof, Laura Hilton and Rene Neff. In back are: Jean Whitesavage, Nick Lyle, Bob Waterman, Bob Thurmond, Randy Heston, Mayor Fred McCarthy, Michaela Marx Wheatley, Jim Sundberg, Bernita Sanstad and Peggy Taylor.

The Langley Centennial Garden received the Green Community award at the Excellence on Main Awards Ceremony from the Washington Main Street program on May 7 in Wenatchee. The award recognized the garden project for being environmentallyminded and building an edible beautification area. This is the second year the program has given the award to the garden, located at Langley City Hall. “I’m very proud of it,” said Janet Ploof, president of the Langley Main Street Association. “It was a brand new idea and sparks interest in people who look at the city hall garden. It also encourages conversation with people on the street and [at] city hall.” The garden concept began with members of the Langley Garden Initiative, a group within the Langley Main Street Association, who were inspired by a TED Talk

which described a similar garden promoting vegetable tourism. The garden initiative joined together with the Whidbey Island Garden Tour and South Whidbey Garden Club; with help from Log House Plants and Renee’s Garden Seeds to gather the materials. The groups spent months preparing the lot for seeds and weeding. Now, through the hard work of interns Laura and Erin Hilton, the garden includes herbs, berries, vegetables and fruit. “We are thrilled to honor the Langley Centennial Garden with our Green Community award,” said Sarah Hansen, Washington State Main Street

Program coordinator. “The project demonstrates outstanding community collaboration and a creative approach to city beautification. Langley is known for its dedication to local foods and the arts, and this is a wonderful combination of the two.” Ploof said the gardens will be expanding next month to include a new vegetable species, which will remain a surprise, from the Oregon-based Log House Plants. The vegetables will be available in new planters on Second Street and volunteers will begin planting June 6-8. To volunteer for the program, call the association at 360-9299333.

six students during their interview process on Wednesday, May 14, including: Macey Bishop, Emma Lungren, Anna Lynch, Kara Mead and Sophia Stoughton. After more than one hour interviewing the candidates, the board retired into an executive session and emerged to unanimously choose soon-to-be junior Reganne to fill the vacant seat, currently held by outgoing senior Sydney Ackerman. Director Linda Racicot said it was a rigorous competition and tough for the board members to make a decision. “I’m proud of you all and I hope you take advantage to learn from this experience,” she said. The will be the second year the board has included a student representative in meetings and workshops.

PORT Port works out details with IBA The Port of South Whidbey and Island Beach Access have moved forward to install access signs for public beach areas on the South End.

CORRECTION The news brief “Art, design sale coming to WICA” in the Wednesday, May 14 issue of the South Whidbey Record contained inaccurate times. The event begins with a Meet the Artists reception from 5 to 7 p.m. During the regular meeting on Tuesday, May 13, members from the beach access group further explained their plans to establish signs and communicate to the public the access points both on land and water sides. The group aims to install signs that are clear, visible and don’t add to “sign pollution” in areas with many signs, said Mel Trenor of Island Beach Access. Trenor brought an example of the sign for the water side, which was a thin 6-foot-tall marker with a reflective sticker. In March, the group requested $5,000 in funds from the port as part of the district’s grants for South End organizations working to promote and improve the community, which totaled $22,080 for seven organizations. At the time, the group was asked to develop a more detailed plan of installation. During the May meeting, Commissioner Ed Halloran expressed concern about neighbors who object to the signs. Both the port and beach access group agreed to proceed with the project one sign at a time to ensure each location is

public and not contested. The beach access group will propose its first location for the public access sign at the port’s regular meeting, Tuesday, June 10.

STATE Seat belt, driver safety is cop focus The Washington State Patrol will ramp up seat belt and distracted driving patrols in Island and Skagit counties over the next two weeks, the Washington Traffic Safety Commission has announced. Following the success of the first statewide distracted driving extra enforcement campaign in April, traffic cops will once again be on the prowl May 19-June 1 for unbuckled and distracted drivers as part of the annual “Click it or Ticket” patrols, according to a news release. The Handheld Cell Phone Use law became a primary law in Washington in June 2010. Likewise, after the primary seat belt law took effect in 2002, seat belt violations initially increased and then seat belt use increased.

Port goes for longer, costlier Possession Point boat ramp According to Darnell, the boat ramp is deteriorating, with rebar exposed. The piles and floats near the ramp are also reaching the point of needed repairs. He suggested the floats should be fixed rather than replaced because, despite their current state, they are still more sturdy than new replacements on the market today. “If, in the future, you want to replace the floats, you want to have pilings that are going to last long enough to get value out of the new floats,” he said. “We’re focused on the ramp and pilings to set the foundation for future repairs that may come down the line. Having a good ramp and good piles is the first step.” The first design option presented a raised and shorter ramp that would take advantage of the existing end, which is typically buried under sand. The second option replaces the entire 40-foot ramp with poured concrete at the top and pre-cast concrete

Port of South Whidbey Commissioners informally agreed on the scope of the Possession Beach boat ramp revamp project Tuesday, May 13. Joel Darnell, an engineer with Edmonds-based Coast & Harbor Engineering, presented the board with an update on the renovation project at their regular meeting. After months of reviewing, the firm established three design options, with estimates ranging in cost from $350,000 to $450,000. Commissioners Ed Halloran and Curt Gordon both preferred the more expensive option, which would replace the 40-foot ramp and move the piles and floats to the south side of the ramp, saying it appeared to offer the best service to users. “If we’re going to do this we should try to go all the way,” Halloran said.

placed on the end. The third, the one preferred by the commissioners was the most extensive — replacing the ramp and moving the piles, which is believed to aid sediment flow and eventually lower the cost and time of maintenance. Including the gravel under the concrete and the ramp itself, the design would raise the ramp about 20 inches. The timber pilings in all the options will also be replaced with steel pilings. Darnell noted these design options are still being tweaked, but estimated the cost difference between the shorter ramp and longer ramp to be about $40,000. Gordon said if work is already being done on the pilings and concrete, it makes sense to also make the investment on a longer ramp. Halloran agreed and said the first option of a shorter ramp may make users uncomfortable. “Having launched there

a couple of times myself, I would like to know that something is there for the boater,” he said. Now that the board’s design preference is clear, the firm will come back to the commissioners with a more detailed cost estimate for option three. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 10.

Saturday, May 17, 2014 • The South Whidbey Record

Editorial County made right move with pot shops It’s not official, but chances are good that South Whidbey will become home to two of Island County’s new retail marijuana stores. South End business owners Maureen Cooke and Lucas Jushinski have both submitted applications to the state to open shops in Bayview and Freeland. Yet ironically, despite the passage of I-502 in 2012, it appears these early entrepreneurs will owe their existence — if they are successfully permitted — to Island County commissioners Helen Price Johnson, a South Whidbey Democrat, and Jill Johnson, a Oak Harbor Republican. Last week they rejected a last minute proposal from former commissioner Kelly Emerson, a Tea Party Republican from Camano who has since resigned, to permanently ban pot shops in Island County, and they were right to do so. The people of Washington made their choice clear in 2012 when they voted to legalize the recreational use of marijuana statewide. Just like any other ballot measure or race for elected office, adult voters considered what was in front, of them and made a choice, and it’s not governments role to later decide otherwise. We grant our elected leaders power to implement our wishes, not countermand them. Yet a small handful of county and city governments, such as Pierce County, Monroe and most recently Marysville, have since taken it upon themselves to do just that and adopt permanent prohibitions. In Marysville’s case, city leaders argued that restrictions concerning location, coupled with the flow of tax revenue — most would go to the state, not local municipalities — equaled an industry that might cause more harm than good. According to state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, and a non-binding decision he issued earlier this year, cities and counties are within their legal rights to pass such bans despite the wishes of the pubic. Every community is different, and perhaps for some outlawing marijuana stores really does make sense, but that’s not the case in Island County, at least not according to voters. I-502 passed statewide, but also here at home with 56 percent of the public — 23,205 people — casting “yes” votes. The commissioners showed wisdom and courage by not falling prey to the weighty and seemingly neverending “pot is bad” arguments. Some of those concerns are very valid, others not so much. What matters most here is that our elected officials put aside any personal convictions or opinions on the issue and carried out the wishes of their constituents.

Bird column on predatory felines a timely reminder Hearts & Hammers story was excellent Editor, Thanks to Frances Wood for her timely reminder to keep cats indoors in her article on California quail. The quail are one of the most vulnerable birds, along with our ground nesters: the juncos, sparrows and towhees. The chipmunks and Douglas squirrels are also easy prey for cats. First, we need to pass county laws like the ones that are already on the books in Oak Harbor where cats must be licensed, and “all animals shall be kept under restraint.” Then we should prosecute owners whose cats kill wildlife, just as we would not tolerate someone who was shooting at songbirds. I love cats. I have two of them. But I am a responsible owner who does not let them roam freely. My cats do not have the right to hunt migratory song-

Editor, Thank you for the excellent article about Hearts and Hammers Work Day on May 3. The article captured the various ways that the organization’s volunteers help homeowners remain in their homes when they can’t manage all the tasks themselves. Another important mission of Hearts and Hammers is to develop a spirit of community. In this sense, we also need to thank the people who invited volunteers into their homes to assist with repairs, improvements, or general maintenance. Without you, there would be no Work Day. And, by asking for help from your neighbors, you make a major contribution to developing our community.

time, and nice weather. Seen from another angle, lots of folks are driving, some of the drivers are impaired. In 2012, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, during those 100 Deadly Days of Summer 33,561 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in the United States and 2.36 million were injured. Of those fatalities, 10,322 or nearly one third lost their lives in alcohol or other drug -impaired driving crashes. Those other drugs included prescription, over-the-counter, illegal drugs, chemicals and combinations of these types. So if we dig a little deeper, let’s say that 10 people per DUI fatality are affected. Affected how? Relatives and friends upset, scared, anxious, worried, angry and lots of other emotions. At a conservative estimate, 103,220 people were affected by these 10,322 DUI deaths that happened in 2012 across the USA. In Washington, police arrest more than 40,000 people for DUI each year. We had 157 such fatalities in 2011, and 145 in 2012. Using our 10-person extrapolation, 14,500 people were affected by these DUI-related deaths in Washington State. A death in the family that could have been prevented. Lesser costs of DUI can include legal fees and fines, skyrocketing insurance costs, job-related expenses and likely the loss of your

and a brand new expanded Langley Marina. The grey whales and orcas have come to Saratoga Passage on their yearly migration looking for “ghost shrimp” to feed on, and we have watched them breeching and feeding in the waters around our Village by the Sea. Why do we need to shatter these serene images and talk about meth and heroin? Do we really have a big problem here or is the newspaper sensationalizing the story to sell more papers? What can we do about the problem anyway? For the person whose life

is consumed with meth or heroin addiction, there is little time for peaceful walks along the beach or watching eagles soar over the trees on Whidbey Island. The addiction drives them to be always thinking about where the money is coming from for the next buy. Forming the Island County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition is a first step. I received a phone call after the newspaper article hit the front page of the South Whidbey Record. It was from a mother who told me her son went from being a successful and opti-

mistic 16-year-old young man to being a homeless, helpless, and hopeless heroin addict. She told of rescuing him from hotel rooms and chasing off drug dealers herself to try and bring him back from the edge. She said she could help with organizing events and fundraising. She wondered if she could help out other parents and their children. I believe if we don’t acknowledge the problem, it won’t just go away. I believe it’s no different or more pronounced here than in other rural areas across the country. We’re

not the only community that has this challenge. I know someone in law enforcement who told me how sad the stories are of the people dealing with this. I do know that an attorney who defends people says it is at the center of some of his clients’ problems. Thank you for your time and interest in a topic that has a lot to do with quality of life right here in Langley and on Whidbey Island. I think we can make a difference in this problem by working together on it. Sincerely, Fred

But more importantly, especially if you harm someone else, you will feel the shame, hurt, and despair that comes with knowing you could have prevented these results — by driving in a clear, alert condition. Do not add to the statistics for 2014. Do not put yourself through the hell of knowing you endangered your life and the lives of others needlessly. Do not initiate a ripple effect that will inject more suffering, pain, and anguish into a multitude of lives.

sus larger four year public universities. I attended Everett Junior College for two years upon graduating from Langley High School in 1953. I received a $90 scholarship that covered my first years tuition. After getting my associate’s degree I transferred to, and graduated from, the University of Washington, where the tuition went up to about $180 per year. When I compare costs of housing, autos, and starting salaries in the 1950s and 60s to today’s dollars, I estimate

that inflation has caused prices to go up about 10 fold. Compare that with increased costs of tuition from $90 to $4,500 at a community college, and $180 to an estimated average of $10,000 at the University of Washington and you will see an increase of 50 times or more. I wish someone in academia would explain why college costs are so out of proportion with today’s cost of living.

Fiber farm letter was a stretch Editor, Regarding the letter to the editor by Stan Walker about seeing a sign for a “fiber farm” and assuming that it referred to growing marijuana is quite a stretch. A fiber farm is a farm that raises fiber animals, such as alpaca, sheep, goats, etc. for fiber for clothing and has nothing to do with marijuana or dietary fiber. There are quite a few fiber farms on Whidbey Island.

Season on the brink after shootout loss Extra period games push Falcons to loserout match Saturday By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record South Whidbey’s boys soccer season is on the brink of ending after a 2-1 shootout loss to Blaine on Thursday. A foul on Falcon junior striker Kai da Rosa in the goal box gave South Whidbey a one-on-one penalty shot from 12 yards out. Davin Kesler, a junior midfielder, drilled the ball into the back of the net to take a 1-0 lead. Blaine tied the game on a late goal off a free kick from about 25 yards out. The ball hit one of Blaine’s players’ backs and ricocheted into the net for the tying score in the 76th minute, said Falcon co-head coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins. The late goal and eventual penalty kick shots were insult to near-injury for Robbins, who chided Blaine for what he described as excessively physical play, such as a hit to da Rosa’s neck. “It’s one of the most frustrating games I’ve ever coached,” he said, adding that two yellow cards were issued to different Borderites. “A hard foul is different than a dirty foul,” he added. The Falcons played in their second consecutive shootout after defeating the Cascade Christian Cougars 4-3 on Tuesday after a 6-5 penalty kick advantage. Standing 12 yards away gave Falcon junior goalie Charley Stelling only a second to read where the ball would be kicked, and that was all the time he needed to block the shot and nearly secure South Whidbey’s win. Jaidin Jones, a senior Falcon forward who had already scored two goals in regulation, took the sixth penalty shot and drilled the ball low and to the left past the Cougars’ keeper. His penalty score lifted South Whidbey 4-3 over Cascade Christian (Puyallup) and sent the Falcons to the next round of the 1A tri-district tournament Thursday, a loserout match against Blaine. “After Charley blocked the fifth one, the pressure was on and it was obviously a big deal,” Jones said of his penalty kick score. “I’m still in a little shock that I made such an impact on the game,” he added. “I felt like the spotlight was indirectly on me in those little moments. As a senior

In that match last year, the Cougars got the block that secured the win and sent them to the state tournament and ended the Falcons’ season. As the game wore on and South Whidbey lost the lead and tied the score late in regulation, some of the returning players said they began thinking back on that heart-wrenching loss. “I’m just glad we could pull it off this year,” said Stelling, who was a reserve player on the 2013 squad. In this year’s match, momentum swung from team to team. From the onset, South Whidbey appeared to have a firm handle on the game with a quick score by Andy Zisette.

Cascade Christian answered in the 26th minute after Stelling stepped out of the box to challenge a long ball but was beat to it for an open-goal score. Jones scored his first goal of the night in the 31st minute through a scrum in the box. Playing through an unusually hot day in the high 70s, by the end of the first half both teams appeared worn and in need of a break with players failing to catch up to the ball or move with urgency to retrieve it from out of bounds. Out of the halftime rest, South Whidbey rattled off a couple of quick shots on goal by sophomore Lucas Leiberman. Cascade Christian responded with a series of shots on goal, punctuated by a goal on a header off a deep free kick that crossed into the penalty area. Eight minutes later, Cascade Christian took the lead on a shot off a long cross SEE SHOOTOUT, A9

South Whidbey’s first doubles team of Amelia Weeks and Tess Radisch claimed the 1A District 1 girls tennis title after losing a combined four games in the matches Tuesday. Hosted at South Whidbey High School, Blaine, Friday Harbor, Coupeville and South Whidbey vied for the top two spots in doubles and singles to qualify for the upcoming 1A tri-district tournament in Seattle. Weeks and Radisch defeated teams from Coupeville, Blaine and their teammates Isla Dubendorf and Bayley Gochanour, who entered the tournament as South Whidbey’s second doubles team. Their route to the final match was a bit longer than the one taken by Weeks and Radisch. Dubendorf and Gochanour had to bounce back from a first-set 4-6 loss to Blaine’s

Gretchen Kordas and Lilly Olason. They recovered and won the next two sets 6-3, 6-2. In the second round, they fended off Friday Harbor’s top team of Maddy Marinkovic and Ashton Timmons, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the final match against Weeks and Radisch, who won 6-1, 6-0. In singles, senior Colleen Groce entered the tournament after defeating Coupeville’s Rice 6-2, 6-2 in the pigtail match. But Groce was quickly dispatched 6-1, 6-0 by Blaine’s top-seeded Alex Henderson. Groce was eliminated from the tournament in the second round by Friday Harbor’s Yasmin Sarah 6-3, 6-2. The Falcons’ other singles player was sophomore Kendra Warwick, who narrowly lost in the first SEE TENNIS, A9

Falcon senior boy wins district triple jump title, several girls make finals South Whidbey senior Kale Reichersamer took first place at the first day of the 1A District track and field championships May 14. The two-day event was scheduled to conclude Friday, after The Record went to press, at Lynden Christian High School. Reichersamer was the only Falcon to claim the top spot on Day 1, though several other South Whidbey athletes finished in the top five.

Cole Zink took second place in the 800 in 2:05.46. Tanner Lobdell, a sophmore, finished in third place in the 100-meter race prelims. His time of 11.46 was the second fastest of his Falcon career and qualified him for the finals Friday. In the hurdles, senior Jordan Parrick secured fourth place in the 300-meter prelims with a time of 45.51 seconds. He also qualified for the 110-meter finals with a personal best time of 16.74 seconds, good for fifth

place. For the Falcon girls, senior distance runners Jaime Rodden and Terra Wildon placed second and third, respectively, in the 800 prelims. Rodden finished in 2:29.39 and Wildon in 2:31.72. Rodden followed up the middistance race with a secondplace finish in the 1,600 in 5:26.01, her second-best time. Maia Sparkman, a senior sprinter, set her career-best time in the 200 in 26.91 for third place and a spot in the district

finals. She also took third in the long jump with a career-best mark of 16 feet, 5.75 inches. In the hurdles prelims, sophomore Allie Vanbenschoten placed fourth in the 300-meter event in 49.99 seconds, her career best. Freshman Bailey Forsyth was fifth place in the 100-meter hurdles in 17.83 seconds. The following are the other Falcon athletes’ performances. Boys 200 - 13, Brandon Chapman,

in the 68th minute that seemed to spell doom for South Whidbey’s season. But fight remained in the Falcons. A formation change resulted in four players upfield for South Whidbey. Andy Zisette took the ball down the right sideline, streaked past a pair of defenders and crossed the ball near the end line into the box where Jones took it on a bounce and fired it in with his right foot. “The second one was lucky,” Jones said of his first score. “I was glad that I got around. The third goal, I was feeling it. I came in and got a little bounce and swung it in and it flew past him.” The tying score sent the game into two five-minute bonus periods in which the first team to score would win. But neither was able to generate much offense, pushing the game to a penalty kick shootout.

The first five shooters for each team scored, extending the shootout to a sixth kicker. Cascade Christian’s sixth shot was low and to Stelling’s left, right where he leapt to block the shot, sending the Falcons and their fans into an uproar. “Very stressful moment back there, very rough,” Stelling said. “I’m glad Jaidin made that equalizer in the last minutes of the game.” “The last guy that I blocked, I read him and it was pretty successful,” he added. After that, it was Jones and his two-goal kicking prowess that secured South Whidbey’s victory. South Whidbey will play a loser-out, winner-to-state match against Charles Wright Academy at 1 p.m. Saturday at Interlake High School in Seattle.

Island County Fairgrounds plan stuck in limbo Proposal stalled by lease talks, county staff changes By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record After a storm of presentations, public meetings and backlash over the $10.12 million overhaul of the Island County Fairgrounds, the proposal remains at a standstill. Earlier this month, the Island County Economic Development Council met and agreed that its contract with Island County — an agreement that paid a consultant $71,000 from county coffers — to create a long-range strategic plan for the 12-acre Langley property was fulfilled. The next step is for the council to submit the proposal to the county commissioners, but a date has not yet been decided. Several factors have put the future of the fairgrounds in limbo. The Whidbey Island Fair Association, which manages the property and produces the annual fair, has asked the county to renegotiate its lease. But before the two parties meet, county officials

Johnson about the May 5 meeting where Emerson announced her resignation. “It could kind of delay being able to get everything on the table.” Price Johnson is a member of

the economic development council and the steering committee in charge of the fairgrounds proposal. For opponents, who have criticized the plan as being financially unrealistic and for its demolition designs, the proposal’s stalled status is not comforting. Wendy Sundquist, a member of the Friends of the Fair group that formed to formally reject the project, said she wants the county to completely take over the fairgrounds. That would include a formal evaluation of each building’s structural integrity and an inventory of its needs. “I think the county has to step up to the plate and show some responsibility for this piece of property,” Sundquist said. “In my mind, you need to look at the structures and think, why do you need to demolish them if they can be used?” she added. Economic development council member and Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy said the proposal remains unchanged despite several rounds of weighty public input. “They felt like the consultant gave us what we asked for, or what was asked for, and we received a lot of valuable input in the hearing process,” McCarthy said.

Imagine it, design it, MakerTron Labs creates community classroom for science, technology, engineering By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Located inside Ken’s Korner Mall is a space made to create — MakerTron Labs. It’s a community lab space for classes, research, and, above all, for making things. For Damien Cortez, executive director of the new space, “make” is a big and all-encompassing word. “You can make anything from a pizza to a bike,” he said. “There’s no limit to what making is.” Wearing the white coats in the lab are Cortez and Andy Gilbert, the scientist and mind behind the space. The two, both Clinton residents, set down roots in

the Ken’s Korner location in February and are slowly refurbishing the space, while at the same time hosting an increasing number of classes for students. In the minds of Cortez and Gilbert, the newlyacquired 10,000-foot space will foster the creation of anything from new video games to recording ferry statistics to building robots. “I want to encourage people to know how something works and understand it from start to finish,” Gilbert said. The space, which is a program of the non-profit South Whidbey Science Fund, was inspired by the needs of the South End community. For Gilbert, the business has come to fruition after years

of planning. “I want it to be a big collaboration,” he said. “If you can imagine it, build it.” Friends since the second grade, both Cortez and Gilbert are 2000 graduates of South Whidbey High School. They reminisce about the early days of technology when computers were just reaching household status. Cortez and Gilbert often used their free time at an internet cafe in Clinton spending $15 for an hour of internet use. “That was the coolest thing at the time,” Gilbert recalled. Gilbert studied physics at the University of Washington and later started a consulting company for Facebook. Cortez is a maker in his

With their combined skills, it was a perfect fit for their new business endeavor. Perhaps the only thing they were unsure of was the name. At first they threw around countless ideas — Makerlab, Makerspace — Cortez said. Finally he thought of MakerTron, a play on Gilbert’s nickname “Gilbertron.” He texted the idea to Gilbert, but didn’t get a response back for 45 minutes. He figured Gilbert dismissed the idea like the many others. “When I finally heard back from Andy he said, ‘I just bought all the domain names for MakerTron,’ ” Cortez laughed. The two then found a space snuggled between Clinton and Langley and began renovating. Already excitement for the lab is building at Langley Middle School, where Gilbert hosts a coding club for students twice a week. Gilbert teaches the computer language JavaScript through a game students all know and love, Minecraft, he said.

As for Whidbey Island Cannabis Company, Cooke has leased a retail space on the second floor of a small commercial complex on Kramer Road in Bayview. Finding a location was tough, said Cooke, due to tight state rules that restrict where retail marijuana stores can set

up shop. She was initially looking at a Clinton location, but it fell through and she stumbled across the Bayview site. “I called and signed a lease right away,” she said. According to the liquor control board’s website, retail marijuana stores can’t be located “within 1,000 feet of any elementary or secondary school, playground, recreation center or facility, child care center, public park, public transit center, library, or game arcade that allows minors to enter. Local authorities will also be notified and have an opportunity to object.” Cooke plans to carry a

Three women from Seattle medicinal stores have been hired to staff the new store, but Cooke plans to transition to local help over the long term.

Mark Calim, owner of Mark’s Auto Repair in Oak Harbor, says he is essentially being forced to leave so a recreational marijuana store can move in.

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record The recreational marijuana business is getting off to a rocky start on North Whidbey. Mark Calim, the owner of Mark’s Auto Repair on Goldie Road, said he and two fellow businesses are effectively being kicked out to make way for pot-related businesses. And they aren’t happy about it. Four marijuana-related businesses, including two in the Oak Harbor area, have made it through the state licensing process for retail pot stores so far. But neither of the proposed Oak Harbor businesses appear to be located in areas that conform to the city and county’s new marijuana zoning regulations, which will likely doom the ventures. As a result, the future of the pot industry in Oak Harbor remains an unknown. Calim said he received a certified letter this week advising him that his rent would be increasing by more than 300 percent and he had to sign a two-year lease, or get out in 30 days. Soon afterward, the new owners of the property stopped by and told Calim’s employee that they planned to turn their building and a number of adjacent structures into marijuana-related businesses. For Calim, the situation is especially galling because he helps so many people in the community from his shop. He sometimes fixes

cars for free, allows people to pay him when they can and generally helps people out of jams. The marijuana business, by comparison, seems like a fly-by-night venture. “I don’t see how anything good can come from it,” he said. Documents obtained by the South Whidbey Record through a public records request show that Scott and Christina Hensrude of Woodinville applied to open a retail pot shop at 3171 North Goldie Road under the name Herbs and Buds,

LLC.

comment. One of the businesses, if approved, would go in the former sports bar on Goldie Road, which is just in front of Calim’s repair shop. But the approval doesn’t seem forthcoming. David Wechner, the Island County planning director, said the

13. An estimated 50 people packed Langley City Hall to hear what he planned to do with the waterfront area that would stretch nearly from Wharf Street to Boy and Dog Park. Langley has a two-story height limit for buildings within the commercial area, but Francisco is hoping to

get a variance and build three stories above street level. His concept includes a roughly 4,000 square-foot courtyard accessible from First Street’s sidewalk. “If it was a two-story design and would encompass the entire length of the space, you’d have to take that into account,” said Langley Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango. “It’s difficult to say that a two-story building is always better than a three-story

building,” he added. The courtyard is intended to be a public space, though not officially gifted to the public. On either side of the courtyard looking over Saratoga Passage would be a restaurant. There would also be an elevator to reach Seawall Park. Should the city deny his request for the third story in exchange for the open courtyard area, Francisco said he would eliminate the courtyard in favor of one contiguous building stretching nearly 215 feet long. He insisted that it was not a matter of trying to hold the view hostage, but that he wanted to have as much space as possible to sell and lease. “That’s what we call a perk for the city,” Francisco said. In all, he plans to have 14 residences, four secondstory offices, four street-front retail spaces, two restaurants and one 28-spot parking garage that uses an elevator to take cars from the street to their space.

LEO In order to negotiate successfully, put your emotions to the side. If you want to avoid any problems, be sure to respect the laws and regulations to the letter.

SCORPIO You spend some time at home, where youâ€™re sure to find a wall to paint or some jobs that youâ€™d enjoy doing. A move could unexpectedly materialize.

SAGITTARIUS You have a lot to talk about. Indeed, if youâ€™re keeping some secrets you may have difficulty in staying quiet and reveal one with a slip of the tongue.

CAPRICORN This is a great week to think seriously about selling or buying a property. You are fairly surprised to realize that you can afford your ambitions.

AQUARIUS Everything is going at top speed this week. You settle lots of things and you manage to contact people fairly easily; people will return your calls quickly.

asphalt in the parking lot this week that it was nearly impossible to walk to a store without stepping on one. “It’s a blanket of caterpillars attacking Ken’s Korner,” she said with a laugh. According to Tim Lawrence, director of Washington State University Extension Island County, popular lore that blooms occur every seven years are a bit of a wives’ tale. Eggs from Malacosoma californicum, commonly referred to as the Western tent caterpillar for the webs they spin in trees, actually hatch every year, he said. Their numbers vary, however, due to variables that range from parasite populations to weather and environmental conditions. “They build up and they drop down, they build up and they drop down; it’s a cyclic thing that’s part of nature,” Lawrence said. Several species on Whidbey Island follow such patterns. Vole populations explode once or twice a decade on Central Whidbey, and a few years ago Greenbank Farm was under siege by swarms of sawflies. Lawrence said the caterpillar season, which typically begins in April or May, is nearing its end and that the crawlers will soon turn into brown or tan moths. But they won’t last long either. “Bats, birds, a number of things will have a heyday eating them,” he said.

In the meantime, however, tent caterpillars are wreaking havoc on trees across the South End. One homeowner called the extension office Wednesday to report that their entire orchard on Wahl Road was decimated. Clinton resident Pat Freal said alder trees near his home were hit hard, and that the caterpillars have turned to other more precious fare. “We’re not going to have many [alders] left in our neighborhood,” Freal said. “Trouble with that is they drop off onto my apple trees.” Lawrence said most trees, even those stripped bare, will probably survive the onslaught to sprout new leaves. There are several methods for controlling outbreaks, the best of which is bacillus thuringiensis, a bacteria spray sold at most hardware stores. It’s toxic to insects but can be used safely in agricultural applications. There are some free alternatives, though he recommends against burning, and questions the effectiveness of home remedies, such as pouring diluted Dawn dish soap around the base of a tree in an attempt to sour the taste of its leaves. “A very good method is the squish method,” said Lawrence, with a chuckle. Other than that, there’s not much to do but live with them until the cycle comes to an end, he said. Lawrence expects the season will wind down over the next few weeks. As for Bell, she’s lived through many past caterpillar invasions and while this one seems exceptionally large, in reality it hasn’t been much more than a headache. She’s had to keep a more careful eye on her outdoor garden displays but there’s been no real negative impact on business, she said. In fact, in some ways it’s actually been a boon. “I’m selling the heck out of my tent caterpillar spray,” she said.

Chamber University A workshop designed to help business owners improve their marketing strategies will be held in Freeland next week. The Freeland Chamber of Commerce will host Chamber University, a free workshop with South End media leaders, from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, May 21, in the Whidbey Telecom Conference Room, 1651 Main St., next to the WiFire Coffee Bar. Topics covered include: How to write a press release, how to write an ad that gets results, and how to manage social media for better marketing returns. Whidbey News Group publisher Keven Graves, Whidbey News Group associate publisher Kimberlly Winjum, and South Whidbey Record editor Justin Burnett are the presenters. Light appetizers will be served, with wine and soda available for purchase. For reservations, call the chamber office at 360331-1980 or email freeland@whidbey.com
