WAIF breaking ground on facility

It takes a village to clean up after Fido at Greenbank Farm

By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

After roughly 10 years of fundraising, supporters of Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation are finally seeing their dreams come to fruition. WAIF will break ground on a new facility 2 p.m. Sunday, July 27 at the location south of Coupeville. Oak Harbor–based company P&L Construction was selected as the general contractor for the project. “Many people in the community have been waiting patiently for this endeavor to take hold,” said Bob Rupp, president of the WAIF Board of Directors. “With

If the folks who take their dogs for walks to Greenbank Farm weren’t responsible pet owners and poop picker-uppers, the place would literally be knee-deep in doggy doodoo. Judy Feldman, the farm director, held a poop scooping event at the farm’s trails for off-leash dogs last Thursday, but only three helpers showed up, armed with gloves pulled to the elbows and something that looked like the Jaws of Life. Still, she was pleasantly surprised at how few smelly little gems they were able to hunt down in the tall grass. “It’s not a problem at this point and we want to prevent it from becoming a problem,” she said. “With 70 to 80 dogs here a day every day, the poo can start adding up. We need people to help us care for the farm.” Lyn Kiernan walked with her, picking up dried droppings off the trails. “As a dog owner, I don’t want my dogs tramping through old poo,” she said. Feldman presented the straight scoop on poop in a blog post earlier this month. She reported that the farm goes through 20,000 poop bags every year and sends about 4,450 pounds of the dog feces to the dump. That’s more than two tons of doggy dookie. A cubic foot of manure weighs 25 pounds, according to King County Public Works. So if a sculptor used a year’s worth of the dog excrement gathered from the farm to create a statue in the shape of a gently curved dog dropping — with a diameter of a 32-gallon garbage can — it would rise 50 feet. That’s about the height of a brachiosaurus. It’s exactly the height of the 50-Foot Woman. The point is, it’s a lot. “It’s a farm and we deal with a lot of poo,” Feldman said. “There’s plenty of poo to go around.”

Lyn Kiernan volunteers to clean up dog poop along the walking trails at Greenbank Farm. She said she herself brings her dog to walk and doesn’t want her pet touching old droppings. Greenbank Farm also has two dozen geese that reside at a pond next to the main barn. A sign nearby warns that each goose produces 1.5 pounds of manure a day. In addition, swallows have built nests over doorways and splatter the area with white. It all means a lot of cleaning and upkeep to keep the popular farm in order. And while it’s funny to talk about poop, she said the topic does touch on a more serious, if sticky, subject. The farm has been owned by the community since 1997, but its future is still unwritten. The community needs to remain invested in the farm, Feldman said, whether it’s visiting the shops,

being involved in the board of directors or picking up poop. “This could all go away,” Feldman said, motioning to the scenic fields and woods beyond.

As the longest standing commercial property owner on Front Street, Paul Whelan has seen the waterfront town change over the years. With his family moving to Coupeville in 1942, Whelan has taken a keen interest in the community’s history. In 1953 his father purchased the Mariti chocolate shop on Front Street from James Zylstra. According to Whelan, Coupeville was dying in the 1950s, and for a long time his family rented the building for $25 a month prior to purchasing. Buildings were reasonable to pur-

Paul Whelan will hold a historic walking tour of Coupeville Tuesday, July 29.

TOUR: Museum celebrates state’s 125th From page 1 chase at the time, and they also purchased the building Kapaws Iskreme now operates in. It wasn’t until the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival was created that the downtown started turning around. It’s this connection to the community that has Whelan interested in its history. Reading various accounts from different people and organizations in the community has made him somewhat of a local historian to Rick Castellano, director of the Island County Historical Museum. After all, he has all kinds of dirt and scandalous anec-

dotes from over the years. Whelan plans on sharing some of these stories 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 29, during historical walking tour to benefit the museum. Coined, “Coupeville 1889,” the tour coincides with celebration of the anniversary of Washington becoming a state. Whelan will share what Coupeville was like in 1889, along with historical account of the people who lived here. “What is one of the very special things about Coupeville is you can look at (historical) photos and tell it’s Coupeville,” Castellano said. The walk will start at the museum on the corner of Front and Alexander Streets.

Whelan will take walkers up Front Street, down to Captain Coupe’s house, around the county court house and back down by the Methodist Church. While Whelan won’t disclose most of the stories he plans on sharing, he said he will discuss one incident in which a couple of members were kicked out of the conservative church. “They were very prominent pioneer families,” Whelan said. “You will recognize their names immediately.” The tour cost is $5. Whelan said he does have a lot of information to share, so the tour should run about an hour and a half.

PROJECT: WAIF gets new shelter From page 1 the selection of P&L Construction, we expect things to move quickly and at an efficient pace after we break ground.” The new 12,544-squarefoot shelter structure will sit on 9.8 acres and offer an expanded spay and neuter surgical suite, six acres of dog walking trails, capacity to house 140 cats, increased kennel space for dogs, modern ventilation and sanitation systems for disease control, dedicated intake areas, adoption rooms, isolation units, grooming space and an area for training and education. Work has already been done to establish the infrastructure for the new shelter, such as septic systems, electricity, phones and Internet. The organization has

reached more than 75 percent of its $3.8 million goal. WAIF Executive Director Charles Vreeland said the bulk of the fundraising has happened in the last three years. “Everyone believes Whidbey Island deserves this shelter,” he said. “Momentum is really ramping up for WAIF’s exciting next chapter. “People are encouraged to see such progress take place, and though we have a little ways to go, the community continues to step up with donations to see the new shelter come to fruition. It’s a transformative time not only for WAIF but the island as well.” The minimal-kill shelter has had an average live release rate of 93.4 percent over the last 14 years. The national threshold for a “no-kill” shelter is 90 percent, Vreeland said.

WAIF does not euthanize animals because of overcrowding issues but does occasionally have to euthanize for health or aggression problems. Currently the organization has about 150 volunteers and is always seeking additional help. WAIF currently is serving around 170 animals, but has served as many as 1,500 animals in year’s time. The ground breaking will be held at the location of the new shelter, which is about a half-mile from the current Coupeville location. It is right off State Highway 20 near Rhododendron Park.

County approves ‘Bounce Mania’ replaces festival fair maintenance By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Island County commissioners approved $30,000 for maintenance of the Island County Fairgrounds Monday, although management of the property remains uncertain. Monday’s vote to put some “placeholder” funding toward the fairgrounds was part of the larger discussion about the Capital Improvement Plan, which needed to move forward this week. The county has traditionally given the fairgrounds association $30,000 for maintenance which they say is not enough. The plan will now go to the Island County Planning Commission for discussion and public comment. Commissioners, wanting to invest in a short-term solutions, have directed staff to reach out to the Port of South Whidbey, the parks district and fair association to find out what it would take to put out a request for property management proposals. While Commissioner Helen Price Johnson initially proposed that the county pay for a temporary county employee to manage the fairgrounds, commissioners seemed to find common ground on putting out a request for a contractor at Wednesday’s work session. “We have to make a short-term decision about how best to manage it,” Price Johnson said. “I think that we would do well to make a

decision today … while we work out the rest of the details for the long term.” Commissioner Jill Johnson said her preference was to have the request come out of the Port of South Whidbey, but she would also be willing to help fund the position through a parks district or the Island County Fair Association. “I’m willing to invest some funds in the short term to ensure we don’t drop the ball and partner with others about the future of the fairgrounds because I believe in what the fairgrounds is for South Whidbey,” Johnson said. Earlier this month, Port of South Whidbey commissioners voted unanimously to consider taking over management of the Langley property, a job currently performed by the Island County Fair Association. Fair Association board member Dan Ollis said the group was “saying uncle” on managing the property because it has simply become too costly. “The property itself has drug those four days of the fair down a road that has made us uncomfortable about putting on a successful event,” Ollis said. “We don’t want to hurt the fair. To us, we can no longer take away from what is our driver to support the off-season. We believe its time to put our cards on the table and say we are hurting that four-day event if we continue to do this.”

One of the first things Bo Chernikoff thought of when he heard about the cancellation of the Loganberry Festival this year was the children. The long-running event at Greenbank Farm traditionally offered numerous events for Whidbey Island kids. Chernikoff and others from his church organized the children’s entertainment. “It’s so much fun to see these little kids having a ball,” Chernikoff said. “Quite a few of the helpers are grandparents like I am. A children’s joy is so transparent. You love to see that.” When a conflict with another event prompted Loganberry Festival organizers to suspend the occasion this year, the elder board with the Whidbey Evangelical Free Church of Greenbank decided it wanted to do all it could to keep at least a portion intact. So from noon-6 p.m., Sunday, July 27, the church and Greenbank Farm are combining efforts to preserve the children’s entertainment aspect of the festival by offering a free event that will feature five bouncy houses, a pie-eating contest, a dunk tank and other games. They’re calling the event “Bounce Mania.” Kids from 2 to 14 are allowed to participate but must be accompanied by an adult. Bounce Mania will take

Officials with Greenbank Farm and Port of Coupeville announced in March they were canceling this year’s Loganberry Festival mostly because the Whidbey Island Area Fair moved to the end of July, leaving only one week between events. With the change, 4-H groups, featured at both events, would have been forced to choose. While the future of the Loganberry Festival remains

unclear, Bounce Mania is intended to continue with some of the festival’s most fun events. Nearly 50 members of the Whidbey Evangelical Free Church will help run the event. Face painting, a ring toss and golf putting are among the options for kids. Food vendors also will be on hand and Whidbey Pies &

Cafe will be open. “Maybe we can keep it going and next year make it bigger and better and make it for the (whole) family,” said Chernikoff, one of elders of the church. Greenbank Farm officials will continue to run the popular pie-eating contest, including a competition for adults, too. Also for adults, a wineand-cheese pairing will take place with author Kristin Ohlson on hand to give a reading of her book, “The Soil Will Save Us,” at 2 p.m. The book explores new ways in which farmers are tending their soil in an attempt to reverse global warming. A discussion will follow Ohlson’s reading. “We are hoping that people interested in farming will talk about the practices she describes in her book,” said Judy Feldman, executive director of the Green Bank Farm. Feldman said she’s excited that children’s activities will be held and pie-eating contest preserved to help make up for some of the disappointment from the Loganberry Festival’s suspension. She said blueberries will be used in the competition instead of loganberries.

Grateful to have such a caring local market Editor, In early June, I had a stroke, not the worst anyone could have, and for that I am grateful. My friends, family and amazing community came to my rescue. Often we forget those who are acquaintances, but just the same, step up to the plate to offer help and support. Often, these folks are not recognized.

This a letter of thanks to three wonderful employees at the Red Apple in Coupeville who “walk the talk” of the meaning of “community.” We’ve lived here for 14 years, and my husband, Allen, my dogs and kitties have been the recipients of much compassion, support and love from friends, acquaintances, and, of course, the amazing Hearts and Hammers. But where, other than Whidbey Island, can you go to a local market and have employees come up to you with hugs, well wishes and with offers to bring groceries to

your home, on their time? Thank you, Colleen, Melissa and Dee, for the hugs, concerns and sincere offers of help. I was overwhelmed with all the boundless help I received from my wonderful family and friends; however, one never expects offers from those who may see you once a week. I hope I may include them now in my group of beloved friends.

toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel When we first moved into our house 17 years ago, I could lie in bed on the second floor, look out my window and count the stars. Now all I can count are the needles on the evergreen trees that ring my back yard. In the front yard, I could set up my telescope and explore the shifting bands of color on Jupiter and even observe some of its moons. Now all I can see is a wall of green that reaches into the sky. My adolescent mini forest has thrived and matured, but I can hardly blame the native Douglas firs, western red cedars or western hemlocks. They’re just doing what they’re meant to do: grow tall and broad, filter carbon dioxide from the air and produce oxygen, store rain water and cool the land, and create a habitat for wildlife. If I were so inclined, I could harvest the lumber and build myself a second house as well as a flotilla of dug-out canoes. But I’m not so inclined. I’ll let this burgeoning little forest and its battalion of birds that wake me up every morning at dawn with

their raucous birdie reveille remain. This isn’t to say I’ve never cut down any of my trees. There have been a couple of dangerous trees that were damaged or deformed and posed a threat to life and limb. These have been removed, as have more than a few that blocked sunlight to my vegetable garden. I do cut back low hanging branches from time to time, and in as gentle a way as possible beat back the forest so I can actually circumnavigate my property and enjoy my yard. We all get along. We’re cool. But one thing you won’t see me do is plant a Douglas fir, western red cedar or western hemlock. I have enough ,and there isn’t any room for more at my place at this time. A chunk of people in my family have lived into their 90s and beyond, and if I plant any more of these fast-growing native giants, I’d just have to hobble out there with my chain saw in another 20 years or so to let the light back in. A Douglas fir can easily top 150 or even 200 feet over its hundreds-of-years lifespan and will get there by growing up to two feet a year. Take a look at the bark on a large Douglas fir and the big fissures that mar its surface. Those are essentially stretch marks.

I guess what I’m trying to get across is that when you plant a tree, you’re not just planting it for now or the next few years, you’re planting it for decades to come. How fast does it grow and how tall and wide will it get? Are you planting it to enjoy now, or for your children and grandchildren to enjoy after you’re gone? Even if you can’t be there to see it in a thousand years, it still may be worth it to plant a giant redwood. But if you live in a condo, that empress tree (Paulownia tomentosa) that can grow up to 15 feet a year may not be a wise choice for your container garden. Ah, but where will you be in 15 years, and do you really care?

Annual Race the Reserve is more than moneymaker By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Race the Reserve, which returns Saturday, Aug. 9, is more than a fundraiser. Yes, its primary function is to raise money for graduation activities for the Coupeville High School class of 2015, but it is also a community event that helps fill the void for runners that was left when the Whidbey Island Marathon dropped Coupeville from its route. Elizabeth Bitting, a member of the Parents of CHS and director for this year’s Race the Reserve, enjoys running and said when the Whidbey Marathon finished in Coupeville, she was “in heaven.” Once the marathon moved its finish line to Oak Harbor, Bitting said, there were rumblings in Central Whidbey on how to get Coupeville back on the running map. “Then an opportunity arose,” Bitting said. “I was part of the parent group back then (2012), my son graduated that year, and I saw an opportunity to bring a half marathon back to Coupeville.” That year the race was dubbed the Dash for the Bash and was held in October. “The feedback was overwhelmingly good,” Bitting said. The following year the race was moved to August, renamed Race the Reserve and added a 10K and 5K to its lineup. The senior parents, Bitting said, adopted the philosophy, “If you build it, they will come.” And come, they have. Race participation has grown each year. As of early July, over 100 runners had registered, and the group expects the usual rush of signups as the race nears and on race day.

The most difficult factor in putting the race together is its timing. The bulk of the work comes as race day approaches, and that comes in the summer when seniors and their parents, the nucleus expected to help run the race, are often out of town or involved in other activities. “Access to the new seniors is very limited,” Bitting said. “Emailing and Facebook have helped us tremendously in getting in contact with our new seniors.”

A combination of 40 parents, friends, family members, students and seniors have volunteered this summer, according to Bitting. Linda Hammer, Kerry Rosenkranz, Angie Stephen, Christine Wright and Sandra Bodamer form the core parent group producing this year’s event. Bodamer, like Bitting, was in the 2012 group that designed the first race. “The race is evolving,” Bitting said. “Without the community and their sponsorship and support, this

would not happen from year to year. Our community has been so welcoming of this run that we have set an additional goal of giving back. We will be giving a donation to The Friends of Ebey.” The funds raised will provide safe and sober graduation activities for CHS seniors. “The last week of school for the seniors is full of what we hope will be memorable experiences: senior assembly, senior awards night, senior parade, senior breakfast and

senior night,” Bitting said. “The Parents of CHS want to give these seniors a safe environment to create lasting memories and to act as a last sendoff. This will be the last opportunity for many of the seniors to spend time with one another before heading off in their own directions.” Since the run falls on the same weekend as the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival, Bitting said, race organizers tell those who register to “come for the run but stay for the fun.” NORA DURAND

lavender

Festival to celebrate ‘relaxing’ herb with art, music and fun By Megan Hansen Co-editor

Visitors can bask in the relaxing aroma of Mother Nature’s healing herb during Lavender Wind Farm’s 11th Annual Lavender Wind Festival. The event is 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the farm on Darst Road, north of Coupeville. Attendees will have a chance to explore the farm, visit artist booths, listen to live music and enjoy refreshments. In previous years, the event was often referred to as an “Artist Invasion,” but farm owner Sarah Richards said she wanted to bring back the original focus.

“This year the focus is more on lavender,” she said. “There will be food from our own bakery — savory and sweet.” The Pacific Northwest Art School will also be selling wine as an independent fundraiser. There will also be plenty of activities for people of all ages. “There will be a chance for people to make their own lavender wreath or wand and there will also be a free kids’ booth with activities,” Richards said. Four artists or groups are slated to play from noon-4 p.m. both days. Richards said that the entertainment will be a variety of styles, including the local

They can also explore about a dozen artist booths, which include handmade baskets, watercolor paintings,

carpentry work, hand-blown glass, ceramics and more. Lavender Wind Farm employees will be on-hand to demonstrate the distilling of essential oil from lavender. Admission to the event is free and parking is directed. n For more information, visit www.lavenderwind.com
