Town takes steps to turn Front Street one-way

Sharing a love of the sea

By Megan Hansen Editor

Officials with the Town of Coupeville are taking necessary steps to turn part of Front Street into a one-way road. Town council read the first reading of an ordinance that will change Front Street, starting at North Main Street all the way to Northeast Ninth Street, to a one-way road for eastbound traffic only. The decision is in response to mitigating bluff erosion, which occurred early last year. The erosion crumbled part of the pedestrian walking path along the road and it has been closed since.

Charter tours owner sets sail for chamber

By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Mark Saia says he wants to wear a pirate outfit to his wedding. “That’s why we’re not married yet,” he joked. The story, one of many he shares with his guests aboard the Andiamo, underlines Saia’s love of all things sailing. Saia is owner of Leisure Yacht Charters and Penn Cove Sailing, turning his passion for sailing into a vocation. On a recent sail, several locals boarded the Catalina Morgan 440 and took in the sights of Penn Cove, which included a tour of the nearby mussel farm. Saia is offering sailings at 5 p.m. on Wednesdays for Coupeville Chamber members. It’s the best location for his type of business, he said. “It’s such a great venue,” Saia said. “It’s ridiculously great.” When sailing Penn Cove, visitors can see Mount Baker, Mount Rainier and the Cascade Mountains on a clear day. “We’re in this little bowl, it’s beautiful,” Saia said. Janet Burchfield, of Front Street Realty, stood at the stern and took in the sea air. Vern Olsen, founder of the Shifty Sailors, was asked to sing a sailing shanty, but he said he’d need another glass of wine for “the ditty to come out,” he said. Olsen said he chartered a tour with Saia for his family on his birthday last year. “It was wonderful,” Olsen said. Vickie Chambers, executive director of the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association, commented on the efficient use of space on the boat, with every nook and cranny put to good use. “There’s not an inch to waste,” Chambers said. Saia described for his guests the two “house sized” rocks that sit submerged a distance from the pier’s end. Saia said the two rocks support each other at an angle and a

He then told the story about how the Andiamo was once stopped above the rocks, and as the tide went out, the change in water depth sent the boat straight toward another boat broadside. His girlfriend, who was on board at the time, didn’t know what to do, he said. “That’s when we decided everyone needs to know how to start the boat and where the key is,” Saia said. Saia said that the transition from tai chi instructing, his previous passion, to sailing has been effortless. The balance and focus required in tai-chi is the same when sailing. “You have to be one with the wind, and sense the balance,” Saia said. Because of his education and experience in eastern arts and philosophies, he considers himself a healer of sorts and that connecting

to the water is simply another form of therapy. “The negative ions you get from the ocean, it’s very healing. It’s a place where you can relax.” With Saia, guests can experience day sailing, American Sailing Association instruction, sunset sails and extended charters that can include crabbing, fishing, diving and island hopping. More about Saia’s business can be found at www.penncovesailing.com

Aubrey Vaughan was selected as interim Island County commissioner last week. He said during his interviews with comVaughn missioners that he wants to rebuild the connection between Camano and Whidbey islands and help the county through this year’s budget process. “One of the reasons I’m running is I feel there’s been a disconnect,” said Vaughan.

Auction July 5 to share deceased artist’s legacy By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

Ron Newberry photo

Bret Holmes displays watercolor paintings created by his late stepmother Jan Holmes. The pieces are part of a large collection that will be auctioned off noon-6 p.m. Saturday at the Coupeville Rec Hall.

As Bret Holmes stepped on to his back lawn, he headed directly toward the property’s edge and an unobstructed backdrop of blue sky and water that didn’t seem to end. “It didn’t used to look like this,” he said, peering across Puget Sound at Port Townsend with barges and watercraft dotting the seascape. When a cliffside gave way 15 months ago in Ledgewood, condemning the home his father and stepmother had enjoyed for 25 years, Holmes was still coming to grips with their passing. Jan Holmes, a noted Coupeville artist with a passion for marine biology, died after a long fight with

cancer in December of 2011. Her husband, Steve Holmes, passed away six months later. “She passed away. He passed away. Ten months later, the house passed away,” Bret Holmes said. In the time since he was forced to evacuate the family home following the March 2013 landslide, Holmes has lived in a rented home next door and worked to put the pieces together on his parents’ estate. In the process, he has decided to sell a large collection of his stepmother’s watercolor paintings. He estimates about 100 of his stepmother’s paintings will be up for bid at the Jan Holmes Silent Art Auction noon-6 p.m., Saturday, July 5, at the Coupeville Recreation Hall. Bret Holmes, a loan officer at Central Banc, saved

several of his favorites but figured it was time to part with the rest and wanted to give residents from the island who knew her a chance to keep her art close to home. Jan Holmes and her husband also were once owners of Tobey’s Tavern. Her involvement with the Washington State University Island County Beach Watchers inspired her to go back to college and earn a master’s degree in marine biology. She then spent years doing research and inspiring others. “She really left a legacy,” said Barbara Bennett, program coordinator of the WSU Island County Beach Watchers, who named a service award after Holmes. Bennett owns some of Holmes’ paintings, which

What does it mean to be American?

As you make your way to work, to a picnic, or to the park this Fourth of July, take a good look around you. What does it mean to be in America, sharing in a celebration of freedom and opportunity? Some of us are lucky enough to have never known anything different. Some of us have had to work hard to earn this freedom. Soldiers in our armed forces have put their lives at risk for it. And some immigrants have given up all that they know and own to come and contribute to it. There are hundreds of ways to be American, and this Fourth of July is the day we all come together to celebrate our freedom. Independence Day might mean eating fish tacos and playing baseball, or maybe meeting up with other Eastern European families at the church hall for dancing and a potluck meal. It might mean burgers, potato salad, and strawberry pie in Aunt Ethel’s backyard after a patriotic parade through town. It might just mean doing the day shift at the superstore that chooses to stay open for last-minute grocery shoppers. Ask around and see what it is that others think makes this country a fine place to live. For some real thought-provoking fun, see what children have to say about being American. Whether it’s all about having the freedom to choose a career that suits you or being able to defend yourself in a fair court of justice, every answer will shine some light on why we choose to be here.

Happy Fourth of July!

We have orchids!

Legacy: Auction of Holmes artwork will also raise money for WAIF From page 2 reflected her many travels. She and her husband both worked in the airline industry. “She was a fun, exuberant character, and her art really conveys her love of color and her love of shape and just the celebration of the natural world,” Bennett said. The art that will be up for bid at the auction may be viewed online at www.janholmes-art-sale.com Those who aren’t able to attend the auction will have a chance to make bids via email, text or phone up until the final 15 minutes before the item closes. At the auction, wine, cheese and refreshments will be available with donations

benefitting the WAIF animal shelter. Bret Holmes recovered the art from his stepmother’s studio and chose some paintings for himself. He relocated to Coupeville from Arizona to help his father care for his stepmother in her final months and has decided to remain on Whidbey Island and become a third-generation family member to live on Fircrest Avenue in Ledgewood. His plan is to rebuild a home much farther back from cliff face. The property holds good memories and sad ones. And scary ones. He was in the house when the landslide struck shortly after 3 a.m. and vividly remembers the sounds and the shaking of the ground.

A family dog had awoken him about five minutes before the slide. He remembers looking out a window and seeing a wide open view where there once were trees. “I watched 50 trees disappear in a second, and all of a sudden I was looking right at Port Townsend,” he said. He rushed outside and realized that a huge portion of the backyard was gone. He stepped away from the hillside and called 9-1-1 only to find that the land he had been standing on a short time earlier had also collapsed. Holmes is hoping for better times ahead. “My grandmother always said, ‘Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,’ ” he said. “I’m a firm believer in that.”

The Ledgewood home once owned by Jan Holmes, right, and her husband Steve sits abandoned and condemned after the March 2013 landslide that removed a large portion of the backyard. Bret Holmes is hoping to rebuild on the property closer to Fircrest Avenue.

Don’t forget pet safety on 4th of July As you prepare for that Independence Day barbecue or pack up to view several of the professional fireworks shows the island offers, don’t forget to safely secure and care for your pets. Whether traveling or staying home, there are simple steps one can take to keep their furry family members safe. It’s our responsiblity. The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center offers the following tips for pet owners this holiday weekend: n Never use firework around pets. While exposure to lit fireworks can potentially result in severe burns and/or trauma to the face and paws of curious pets, even unused fireworks can pose a danger. Many types contain potentially toxic substances, including potassium nitrate, arsenic and other heavy metals. n Loud, crowded fireworks displays are no fun for pets, so please resist the urge to take them to Independence Day festivities. Instead, keep your little guys safe from the noise in a quiet, sheltered and escape-proof area at home. n Never leave alcoholic drinks unattended where pets can reach them. Alcoholic beverages have the potential to poison pets. n Keep your pets on their normal diet. Any change, even for one meal, can give your pets severe indigestion and diarrhea. n Do not apply any sunscreen or insect repellent product to your pet that is not labeled specifically for use on animals. n Always keep matches and lighter fluid out of your pets’ reach. Certain types of matches contain chlorates, which could potentially damage blood cells and result in difficulty breathing—or even kidney disease in severe cases. Lighter fluid can be irritating to skin, and if ingested can produce gastrointestinal irritation and central nervous system depression. If lighter fluid is inhaled, aspiration pneumonia and breathing problems could develop. n Keep citronella candles, insect coils and oil products out of reach. Ingestions can produce stomach irritation and possibly even central nervous system depression. If inhaled, the oils could cause aspiration pneumonia in pets.

Thanks to those who helped work in garden

Editor, On Saturday, June 21, from 8 a.m. until about 2 p.m., 27 generous people converged on the gardens in front of the Island County Museum. Their only pay was the promise of a barbecue hot-dog lunch — and the satisfaction of enjoying the fruits of their labor: a beautiful showpiece of a garden, freshly weeded, clipped, raked and mulched for all to admire. While it might be too cumbersome to list all of their names, they indeed all know whom they are, and they all now know one another. My hat’s off to them, and I offer my sincerest gratitude for all their hard work. We even met some new friends who came all the way from Bremerton to join the fun. They

kept commenting on what a wonderful community we have. I could not agree more. Special thanks are in order to Vickie Chambers and Janet Burchfield of the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association for their help and encouragement in coordinating this very successful work party. They saw a need, and they acted on it. Congratulations, and thank you for making a difference.

Rick Castellano Coupeville

Please be respectful with your fireworks

Editor, Every year, animals and people have a hard time with the extremely frightening noise of the fireworks. A lot of veterans can’t deal with what

sounds like assault rifles. As Jill Johnson says, this is a Navy island. Please remember that what you do affects your community. Limit the time and days you shoot them off to the legal hours — or less. Because if you don’t, they may ban them here completely — like they have in so many other countries. Consider buying the ones that don’t go way up past the tree tops, which is a real fire danger, and sound like rockets in a war zone. There would be fewer complaints to the sheriff’s office and the fire marshall. Enjoy the free fireworks displays in Oak Harbor and Freeland. There is also a big, bright, beautiful fireworks display done in the Rolling Hills area that is not noisy. The real reason for the holiday is to remember our country’s independence.

Duck and Cover: the invaders have arrived!

Harry Anderson Rockin’ a Hard Place The annual summer invasion of the Rock has begun. There are creepy, curious, voracious creatures everywhere, and I’m not talking about tented caterpillars littering our footsteps. Squish, squish, squish. No, I refer to the tourist armada, only some of whom are tented. Crowding our parks and roads, filling every parking space, eating everything in sight, asking stupid questions.

Rock tourists, known to entomologists as turisticae Rockii, take many forms. Some are cocooned in $90,000 RVs equipped with satellite dish TV, a sun porch and broad-band internet. Others sweat along the highway on overloaded bicycles. Some come in swarms on roaring motorcycles, disturbing our bliss in a manner that never happens when the Rock turns cold and wet. Still others come just for a day to “experience” us and “get away from (fill in the blank).” That last variety makes up the vast majority of those who stand in long lines holding tiny, impatient hands outside Kapaw’s Ice Cream Parlour on a weekend afternoon. Then there is the bed-andbreakfast strain. I think of them as our beautiful but-

terflies, romantic creatures who spend their time slowly strolling, slowly eating, slowly sipping wine, slowly gazing into each other’s eyes. They’re the most fun to watch. And we mustn’t forget the campers without RVs, those who just spent a bundle on sleeping bags, propane stoves, stainless steel marshmallow roasting sticks and ice chests (not to mention $10 for a bundle of firewood), only to discover how damp, cold and rainy it may become in a state park on the Rock. They’re the ones you see lined up to take the 10 a.m. ferry home on Sunday morning. Last, and probably least, is the just-passin’-through variety, on their way to Anacortes, Victoria, Port Townsend or (gasp) back home to California or Canada.

The Rock’s many charms are often lost on them. They will tend to ride your bumper impatiently if you drive the speed limit while they’re racing to make one ferry or another. Every variety of Rock tourist is known to ask many of same questions, and we Rock dwellers have learned to rehearse our answers. (1) How much do houses cost here? (Answer: Less than you’d think but we wish it were more! May I give you my broker’s name?) (2) Is there a supermarket nearby? (Answer: Depends on what you consider a supermarket!) (3) Is there a gas station nearby? (Answer: Depends on how much you want to spend!) (4) Where’s a good place to have dinner? (Answer:

Umm, well. We usually like [fill the blank]. But you won’t find a table between 5 and 7, and it’ll be closed before 8. And whatever you do avoid [fill in the blank]. And, of course, there is: (5) Don’t you just love living here? (Answer: Yes! Especially after Labor Day!) Oh, I know I sound like an elitist crank. Next thing you know, the Chamber of Commerce will print up a bunch of Tourists=Jobs! yard signs, and the letters to editor will start pouring in. You blockhead! Love the tourists or get out! Okay, okay. I get that. So to all you tourists who just picked up this copy of the Whidbey Examiner as a souvenir, please know that I really do care about you. Have fun! Spend lots of money! Then go home!

Penn Cove water district requests expansion Island County commissioners will review an expansion to Penn Cove Water & Sewer District to ensure it complies with state Department of Health requirements. A public hearing is at 10:15 a.m. Monday, July 7 in the Board of Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville. The district went through a self-certification process during a 2005 Comprehensive Water and Sewer Plan to expand retail service boundaries.

August 10th Noon–5

However a recent change in municipal water law now requires the district to have the county review the boundary change and it must go before the board of commissioners for approval. The intention of the law is to ensure consistency with

the county’s Comprehensive Plan. The expansion recognizes systems within the district’s service area which they won’t be serving directly but can serve if need arises, according to David Wechner, Island County planning director.

Teens experience abuse too

ne in three teens has experienced some kind of abuse in their dating relationship, according to the American Journal of Public Health. One in three. This includes physical and emotional abuse, stalking, and sexual coercion. Abuse may look different in teen versus adult relationships, but we need to take it just as seriously. The Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Review has been studying domestic violence–related homicides in our state since 1997. The research shows how early many abusive relationships start. Nine percent of domestic violence homicide victims were under 21 at the time they were killed, and 31% of homicide victims in studied cases were under 21 when they started dating the abuser. Several met in high school or middle school. Researchers found that education about dating violence in schools was not sufficient and often started too late. In their first experiences with dating, these young people did not get critical information about what a healthy relationship is or practical tips on what to do if someone was abusing them. Their parents also did not have the information they needed. Many tried to help, but did not know about resources—like their local domestic violence program—that could help them in their efforts. We can do better. Teens need information, safe options, and support. Dating violence is a complex issue with no one, simple answer, but it is simple for each of us to play a role in teaching teens about healthy relationships. For teen dating violence support, find the domestic violence program in your community at wscadv.org, contact the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline at 1-866-331-9474, or text “loveis” to 22522. To raise money and awareness for domestic violence prevention, register today for the Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

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.

EYES ON A TITLE Central Whidbey’s smallest players provided the biggest thrills as District 11 Little League tournament play began last weekend. The combined Central/ South Whidbey 9/10 softball team, playing in Langley, won its first two games and is one win away from qualifying for the state tournament. The 11/12 baseball team also got off to a good start, winning its opening game 2-1 over Sedro-Woolley Sunday in Langley. The 9/10 baseball team fell 10-9 to North Whidbey Monday but recovered to blast Anacortes 10-3 Monday at Sedro-Woolley’s Kiwanis Fields. The 11/12 Central/South Whidbey softball team won one of three games at Oak Harbor’s Volunteer Park, and the 13/14 junior baseball team, which includes players from all three Whidbey leagues, lost 3-2 in nine innings to Sedro-Woolley Monday in Anacortes.

9/10 Softball

Central/South Whidbey defeated North Whidbey 22-5 Saturday and Sedro-Woolley 12-2 Sunday to secure a spot in the championship series. Both games went only four innings because of the 10-run mercy rule. Central/South Whidbey faced the winner of Anacortes and South Skagit, the survivors in the losers’ bracket, Tuesday. If Central/South Whidbey won, it qualified for state. If it lost, the two teams play again at 6 p.m. Thursday to determine the state representative In the win over North Whidbey in the opener, Kaia Richmond, Coral Caveness and Chelsea Prescott each reached base five times and scored five runs.

Prescott also earned the pitching win. In Sunday’s action against Sedro-Woolley, Prescott paced Central/South Whidbey by snaring another pitching win and sparking the offense with a grand slam in the second inning. Mollie Bailey drove in two runs and scored another.

ning and couldn’t recover. In the Anacortes game, Central/South Whidbey scooted to a 7-0 lead, but Anacortes exploded for 12 runs in the second inning to take control. Davidson clubbed a double to help her team score four runs in the first inning. Central/South Whidbey added three runs in the second inning, then its offense stalled and went hitless the rest of the way. Anacortes sent 17 batters to the plate in the second inning, blending four hits, five walks and three errors to post its 12 runs. Davidson finished with a double, two walks, a run and stolen base for Central/South Whidbey. Emma Somes and Toomey-Stout each walked and scored a run. Central Whidbey’s Mareanna Rebischke-Smith was also a member of the team.

11/12 Baseball

Central Whidbey, which had a bye in the first round, met Burlington in the semifinals Tuesday; results were not available at press time. If Central Whidbey won, it will play in the championship series at 6 p.m. Thursday, having to lose twice not to go to state. If it lost Tuesday, it would have to win Wednesday for a rematch with Burlington Thursday and have beat Burlington twice to move on. Burlington rolled to 12-0 and 17-0 wins over South Whidbey and Anacortes in its opening games. Noah Meffert and Ulrik Wells scored for Central Whidbey in its squeaker over Sedro-Woolley, and Meffert and David Prescott provided stellar defensive plays. Reliever Matt Hilborn closed out the game to preserve the win.

9/10 Baseball

In the opening loss to North Whidbey, Central Whidbey rallied from five runs down to go ahead 8-6 in the fourth inning. After North Whidbey scored three in its half of the fourth, Central Whidbey added another run to tie the game in the top of the fifth. A two-out triple scored the winning run for North Whidbey in the bottom of the fifth. Central Whidbey threatened in the sixth, getting two on with no outs, but couldn’t produce the tying run.

Central/South Whidbey fell 8-2 to Skagit in the opener Sunday and then topped North Whidbey 11-9 later in the day. Monday, Anacortes beat Central/South Whidbey 18-8 in a loser-out contest. In the win over North Whidbey, CW/SW scored four runs in the first inning, then used four walks, one to

North Whidbey, trailing 11-3 in the final inning, made it interesting by pushing across six runs and finishing the game with the tying runs on base. In its loss to Skagit, Central/South Whidbey surrendered five runs in the first in-

Coupeville’s Maya ToomeyStout, to add three runs in the second. Toomey-Stout finished with three walks and three runs. Coupeville’s Hannah Davidson reached base three times to aid the offense.

One of the two runs scored by the combined North/Central/South Whidbey junior team was driven home by Central Whidbey’s Jojo Wellington, who finished with two hits, one a double. Central Whidbey’s Nick Etzell pitched the final three innings. Jacob Hoagland of Central Whidbey also plays for the Whidbey team. Whidbey played loser-out games Tuesday and Wednesday; it it won, it plays Thursday at 6 p.m. at Oak Harbor’s Fort Nugent Park.

Crowds race for deals at annual sale By Megan Hansen Editor

It was a mad dash Saturday morning as crowds gathered at Coupeville Middle School to claim treasures at the annual Coupeville Lions Garage Sale. As the clock struck 9 a.m., a horn sounded and the frenzy began. Lion Molly Hughes, who worked the check-out station, said each year she clocks how long it takes for her first sale. It’s usually mere seconds, she said, and this year was no different. A gentleman came to pay for some tools within 19 seconds of the start of the sale. Items, which were spread out across the school campus, were snatched up left and right. Some stood guard over wanted items while others lurked nearby, waiting to see if they could swoop in for the sale.

The Lions garage sale takes yearlong planning and 10 days of setting up. Items are carefully organized and placed by category. Couches and recliners filled the covered play shed, while other furniture lined the perimeter of the school. People rummaged through hoards of plastic storage containers, books, kitchen items and much more. Donna Brown, who manages the sewing machines, started with around 10 for sale. By Saturday afternoon, she was down to one. Rain didn’t keep bargain hunters at bay either. While it rained both days, by Saturday afternoon, roughly half of the sale items were gone. Items left Sunday were marked down to half price. Any remaining items were donated. All proceeds from the sale go back into the Lions’ charitable project in the community.

Crowds gathered shorlty before the start of the Lions Club annual garage sale Saturday morning. It was a mad dash as soon as the starting horn sounded.

Appointed: Camano man chosen to fill commissioner seat From page 1 “I promise to restore that.” As the board begins its annual budget cycle, Vaughan said putting together a budget, which is usually adopted in the fall, is going to be one of his primary duties.

“This budget cycle is going to be very important,” he said. After interviewing three candidates at a special session Tuesday, Commissioners Jill Johnson and Helen Price Johnson deliberated for approximately 15 minutes in closed session before voting to appoint Vaughan as interim Island County commissioner for District 3. Vaughan, who lives on Camano Island, was a member of the Island County Law and Justice Council, a seat he will relinquish during his commissioner service. The District 3 seat was

Hearing: Council looking at one-way on Front St.

vacated in May when Commissioner Kelly Emerson, a Republican, resigned seven months short of her term’s end. Emerson gave one week’s notice. In accordance with state law in such circumstances, Island County Republicans selected three candidates to be interviewed by the commissioners to fill the seat until the next election. Marc Hennemann of Camano and Richard Hannold of North Whidbey were also nominated by the Republican party and interviewed by the commissioners. Vaughan will fill the posi-

tion until the November’s general election. At that time, a permanent commissioner will be chosen by voters. Four Republicans and one Democrat have filed to run for the seat. District 3 comprises North Whidbey and Camano Island. Price Johnson and Johnson said they selected Vaughan because of his experience serving on the Law and Justice Council. “He can hit the ground running,” Johnson said. While the decision was tough, Johnson said she

tried to prioritize what was good for Island County as opposed to her own preferences. Both commissioners agreed that Vaughan’s selection should not affect how constituents approach the election in November. “I want to make very clear that I don’t see this action today as an endorsement of any kind. We are charged with filling an opening and that’s the way that I’m approaching this decision,” Price Johnson said. “I encourage folks to be engaged in the process and get to know candidates.”

After having two engineers review the situation, Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said both engineers recommended changing the traffic pattern and moving the pedestrian path around the slide as the least expensive option. Part of mitigating the issue will also include doing some cleanup and work on the erosion itself. Conard said that the town had hoped to have ordinance passed prior to the Fourth of July, but scheduling didn’t work in their favor. A second reading of the ordinance and a public hearing on the issue will be held during a regular town council meeting 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 22 in the Island County Commissioner’s hearing room. The July 8 council meeting was cancelled because Conard will be out of town. Conard said she talked with all but three residents along that road and all she spoke with were supportive of the decision. Once the ordinance is in place, the town will place signage for the changes. “We’re going to try minimal signs and add if it becomes a problem,” Conard said.
