Sand shrimp ban may not last By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
would have to layoff 20 percent of its workforce — 24 workers — stop Saturday bus service, eliminate a number of routes and modify several others. Rose blamed former financial manager Barbara Savary for the problem, saying she’d failed to run monthly cash flow analysis reports for years. Savary was fired in May. Several people at the Freeland meeting asked why Rose, or other financial administrators, were not present to answer financial questions. “Where’s the leadership?” an unidentified woman asked. According to Shawn Harris, operations manager for Island Transit, it was a conscious decision to staff the community meetings with operational staff only. The purpose was to get feedback from the public about the service changes, and attendance
Sand shrimp harvests around Whidbey and Saratoga Passage halted in April may someday resume. That was the message presented by an official from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources at an Island County Marine Resources Committee on Tuesday. Blain Reeves, assistant division manager of science, shellfish and invasive species management, aquatics division, discussed the history of the state’s understanding and lack thereof about sand shrimp. He cautioned that the ban may not continue in perpetuity. “It isn’t a forever stop,” he said. Four months ago, the state revoked three rights of entry to a handful of state-owned tidelands around Saratoga Passage. Effectively, that ended the commercial harvest of sand shrimp, also called ghost shrimp, which are used as bait along the West Coast. Sand shrimp are an important food source for gray whales, and Orca Network co-founder Howard Garrett has previously stated that it may be the primary food for the massive marine mammals as they migrate through Washington. The shrimp advisory committee, a group formed by Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, requested the harvesting halt. They submitted reports and statements about residents noticing fewer gray whales feeding around Whidbey Island in the same areas

Arts center plans procession, memorial in Langley By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The man who picked up mail for the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts every day for the past decade will take one final trip to the theater next week. A procession and party for Paul Schell, who unexpectedly died July 27 following complications from a quadruple bypass heart surgery, will wind through Langley on Thursday, Aug. 14. The line will start at the Inn at Langley, owned by Paul and wife Pam Schell, and make its way through town in what organizer Stacie Burgua likened to a New Orleans funeral — though that word is one she avoids when discussing Paul Schell’s farewell. “I don’t want to call it the funeral procession,” Burgua said. “It’s the Paul Schell Procession.” Following the walkabout led by the car carrying his ashes, a public memorial will be held in the arts center’s Zech Hall at 4 p.m. The Schells were instrumental in founding the arts nonprofit and were driving forces in its two capital campaigns over the past decade. Both served on its board of directors as well. His wife had a similar but different word for the string SEE SCHELL, A13

Gordon Labuhn, a Langley man, quizzes Island Transit staff about pending service cuts at a meeting in Freeland Thursday afternoon.
A year without full service too long, transit riders say ‘Go find the money. It’s out there, go find it.’ — Gary Bluhm By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Pending Island Transit service reductions on South Whidbey will hit the community hard, and residents let department officials know it this week. About 20 people showed up Thursday afternoon to the Freeland Library to share their concerns about hefty route cuts and modifications that will go into effect Sept. 1. The meeting was one of a series the transportation agency is holding on the upcoming service changes. A meeting was also held Friday in Langley, but occurred after press time and could not be reported on. The mood during Thursday’s meeting was courteous, but sentiments from the crowd were across the board, ranging from worry and concern to irritation and incredulity that the agency lacked the internal controls and oversight to allow such
a fiscal emergency to occur. Many wanted to know more details about the financial crisis, but were left disappointed. The meeting was run by operational staff only — Director Martha Rose was not present — and they said they simply didn’t have all the details. The sheer magnitude of the problem wasn’t made clear to staff until June, they said. Gordon Labuhn, a Langley man, said he’d held leadership roles at small corporations for 30 years and was “astounded” by their claims of being blind to the problem until it was too late. “No matter what position I had, I always knew the budgets of every other department,” Labuhn said. Last month, Island Transit leaders announced the transportation service was is in the grips of a dire financial crisis, and that the board of directors had approved what was essentially an $800,000 bank loan to pay its bills. To stay afloat, the agency

In a joint ceremony, Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue Chief Ed Hartin, left, and South Whidbey Fire/EMS Chief Rusty Palmer, right, welcome new recruits. Kyla Graeser, Andrew Agnew, Robyn Hagglund, Antonio Nissen and Jo Oyola join South Whidbey.
A handful of people were welcomed into the South Whidbey Fire/EMS family Tuesday at a ceremony in Freeland. “Tonight we acknowledge your successful completion of the fire academy,” South Whidbey Fire/EMS Chief Rusty Palmer said in a news release. “But more importantly, this marks the beginning of a significant new role for you in your community. As a firefighter, you will have both rewarding and challenging experiences, and be tested in ways you’ve never imagined. This is something you should be excited about. This accomplishment is a life achievement you should be very proud of.” Over the past six months, the recruits spent 150 hours testing and undergoing basic training at the fire academy. Training continues throughout the rest
of their fire service careers in special drills and at sessions every Tuesday night at their stations. Many of the new members have already responded to fire, medical and marine rescue calls since graduating from the academy in June. Now, they will all be fully integrated into their departments. Applications to attend the academy will be accepted until Oct. 31. The next fire academy begins in January. South Whidbey Fire/EMS is composed of volunteers for fire suppression, emergency medical service, and marine and rope rescue to residents and visitors. To learn more about becoming a volunteer firefighter or EMT, contact Palmer at chief@swfe.org, 360-321-1533 or visit the station at 5535 Cameron Road, Freeland.

Primary election winners squeak ahead By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record

Work crews overlay a section of Mutiny Bay Road on Thursday. The county is in the midst of its annual paving and chip sealing program.
County road paving program rolls out on South Whidbey South Whidbey residents may have noticed a bit of road paving in the Freeland area this week. Island County Public Works is in the midst of its annual paving and chip sealing program, which will affect about 8 percent — about 45 miles — of the county’s total 582 miles of roadway. The cost of the work is estimated at $4.4 million. Overlay paving work this week on the South End included sections of Smugglers Cove and Bush Point roads, Mutiny Bay Road and Timber Lane. Wanamaker and Patmore roads on Central Whidbey were also worked on. Additional overlays will take place this month so motorists should expect delays on the following roads during the following dates: Aug. 11-15 — Pleasant View Lane, Cherry Street, Apollo Road and April Drive in Freeland; and Heather Drive, Skye Place, Moorland Place and Tartan Way in Clinton. Aug. 18-22 — Berg Road, Olive Drive, Central Avenue and Possession Shores in Clinton; and French Road in Langley. Also, chip sealing will be done Aug. 11-15 on the following roads: Passage Way, Blue Lady Lane, and Saratoga, Wells, Lone Lake, Goss Lake and Clyde roads.
The winners of two hotly contested county races will move onto the general election by a nose. Democrat Karla Jacks led the vote count in the race for District 3 Island County commissioner with 3,103 votes, or 48.79 percent at the last count Thursday. “We’re very pleased,” Jacks said. “I was surprised. I thought I would do well, but I didn’t think I’d do as well as I did.” Retired Navy Chief Rick Hannold, however, barely held the second slot after he pulled ahead by a mere 47 votes after being in a dead heat with Mark Hennemann and Aubrey Vaughan. As of Thursday’s count, Hannold had 941 votes, or 15.24 percent; Vaughan had 894 votes, or 14.48 percent; Hennemann had 872 votes, or 14.12 percent; and Kelly Bagley trailed with 455 votes, or 7.37 percent. All but Jacks are members of the Republican party. “I’m really happy,” Hannold said. “I think the other candidates ran a good race and are all qualified in their own
ways.” Vaughan, who will serve as the appointed District 3 commissioner until the November election, said he was disappointed he will not go on to the general election. “I got in so late,” said Vaughan, who was the last candidate to declare his candidacy in May. Nevertheless, he is pleased with how much support he received and said he would be “very happy” if Hannold wins the seat because he ran a good campaign. Only voters within District 3 cast ballots for the commissioner primary, but the winner will be decided in the general election through a county-wide vote. Incumbent Treasurer Ana Maria Nuñez took 45 percent of the vote in the Tuesday primary. She said she was happy she was ahead of the other candidates, but had hoped to receive more than half of the total votes, making a general election win seem more certain. The focus now, said Nuñez, will be “convincing or assuring” voters that they can continue to have faith in her as treasurer. “I am the best qualified can-

The Auditor’s office said that both the District 3 and treasurer’s races will qualify for an automatic recount. In other races, Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider took 9,259, or 57 percent, of the votes to challenger Rebecca Wagner’s 6,918, or 42.76 percent. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, Prosecutor Greg Banks, Coroner Robert Bishop and County Clerk Debra Van Pelt all ran uncontested. A total of 18,715 ballots have been recorded in the primary, which is a nearly 37 percent turnout. The election totals will be certified on Aug. 19. The results for any write-in candidates will be revealed then.

Nuñez, a Democrat, said the way she runs her campaign moving forward will depend on who her challenger is going to be, which appeared to be Nuñez’s former deputy treasurer Wanda Grone. “I am cautiously hopeful,” said Grone, a Republican. For the second general election slot behind Nuñez, Grone beat escrow manager Christa Canell, also a Republican, by a mere 12 votes as of Thursday. An automatic mandatory recount is required in races that are “less than one hundred fifty votes and also less than one-fourth of one percent of the total number of votes cast,” according to state code.

SOUTH END U.S. Rep. Larsen tours Whidbey Just days after cleaning up in the primary election, U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen made rounds on South Whidbey, visiting with constituents and businesses Friday. The Second District Democrat’s first scheduled stop was at Whidbey Telecom. According to a news release, the congressman planned to spend one hour discussing internet connectivity improvements at South End schools. From there Larsen headed to Double R Rentals & Sales in Bayview to “learn about the operations of this local business, as well as some of its successes and concerns,” the release said. Last on the list was
a stop at Kids Café in Langley. The program works to feed children for free during the summer months. Good Cheer Food Bank operates the program every weekday in Langley, and Spin Café is running the program from Flintstone Park in Oak Harbor. Larsen introduced the Summer Meals Act earlier this year to improve communities’ ability to serve nutritious meals to kids. The stop was scheduled so he could see firsthand the impact of the federal funding, the news release said. Larsen is seeking reelection this November and will face Republican challenger B.J. Guillot. They were the top two candidates in Tuesday’s primary election. Larsen took 52.51 percent of the vote and Guillot 36.35 percent. Independent candidate Mike Lapointe was knocked out of the run-
ning with 11.14 percent of the vote.
PORT Fairgrounds offer considered Running the Island County Fairgrounds will be the only topic of discussion for the Port of South Whidbey commissioners and a member of the Island County Board of Commissioners next week. The port is hosting a county commissioner for a special meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13, to discuss property management options. Last month, Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson asked if the port was interested in running the nearly 13-acre property. As an agency designed to promote economic growth, the port could take over the property with the idea of turning
it into a revenue-generating and visitor-drawing attraction. The meeting will be at the port office, 1804 Scott Road, Freeland, in the same building as China City.
Ramp project, parking needs Renovating the boat ramp at Possession Beach and some final work for South Whidbey Harbor at Langley are up for public discussion Tuesday, Aug. 12. The Port of South Whidbey commissioners will meet at 7:15 p.m. for a quick workshop before delving into the regular business meeting. For the South Whidbey Harbor marina expansion, the commissioners will review the final payment release to the contractor, Mike Carlson Enterprises. Signage, which has gone through a couple of rounds of review between the port and the City of Langley’s Design Review Board, will also be discussed. Trying to secure offsite parking for the Langley harbor will be talked about as well. The port worked with the South

Whidbey School District for a while on an agreement to allow boat trailers and towing vehicles to park at the old middle school bus barn. That was canceled, however, leaving the port with only two options: in front of the marina or at the Island Church of Whidbey, which is lost for church services Sundays. For the Possession Beach boat ramp renovation project, the commissioners will look over a draft of the shoreline conditional use permit, the SEPA checklist, a biological evaluation, coastal geologic analysis and the Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application. Commissioners will go over the executive director job description and amend the contract for a management consultant. Dane Anderson has filled in while the port restructures its administration.

According to a presentation created by Trish Rose, hospital spokeswoman, the purpose is to balance the population in each of the five districts, and to ensure future hospital board commissioner candidates live within the appropriate district. The presentation says the goal population for each district is 12,569 people. The board will discuss the proposed redistricting plan at a meeting 9 a.m. Monday, Aug. 11, in the conference room at Whidbey General Hospital. For details, contact Rose at roset@whidbeygen.org.

They may be first-time visitors to Langley, but once they leave the Anthes Avenue building, they’re practically experts. “They come in not knowing a lot about Langley,” he said. “When Betty Freeman is done, they know a lot about Langley.” Of the visitors that popped into the center, Esterly said none complained about the six-month construction during the redesign and structural improve-

Editor’s column
Paywall a necessary price of today’s news By JUSTIN BURNETT
Quite a few people lately have been asking variations of what is essentially the same question: Why does the South Whidbey Record have a Facebook page if it’s going to charge readers to view stories? The simplest answer is that it has one for the same reason any other business does and that’s to connect with customers, in our case readers. Merchants everywhere, including many on South Whidbey, have accounts because it’s such a great way of reaching people, yet very few would agree that having a page somehow requires them to give away their wares or services for free. They don’t and neither do we. Of course most newspapers, including The Record, did exactly that for years — posted their product online for anyone to read and with no charge — but it wasn’t always the case. It wasn’t too long ago that anyone who wanted to read the paper had to either buy a copy from the stand or have a subscription. The advent of the internet changed all that, and two things happened. First, newspapers continually struggled with the loss of revenue; second, people got used to not having to pay for the paper. Readers got so accustomed to it, myself included, that in a way the news has come to feel like a public service, a fundamental right to which everyone is entitled. For obvious reasons, however, newspapers aren’t set up as government organizations backed by taxpayers, they operate as private businesses. That means they have to pay the bills with earned revenue, and a hefty part of that is generated from subscriptions. The recent implementation of The Record’s paywall is no doubt frustrating, but it’s a move newspapers everywhere are making in order to stay financially sound. The fact is giving away our product for nothing is as unsustainable for us as it is for any other business. We’re no different. We use Facebook as a tool to get our message out, as do countless other commercial enterprises, and like them we ask for something in return for our service. You get a bill when you eat at a restaurant, new shoes aren’t passed out for free at department stores and newspapers have come full circle and are once again charging for the news. We’re not trying to cheat anyone, just stay prosperous and keep typing in an ever evolving electronic age. If we haven’t already earned your business, please let us know how we can do so. And to our loyal subscribers, thank you for your ongoing support.

Sailing is great summer fun for grandchildren Editor, Since I moved to Whidbey Island and began commuting to Boeing every day, I have met many interesting people as I travel Island Transit. Conversations change from day to day. They could be about sports, upcoming plans, or whatever the big news of the day is. Many a time, these conversations have determined what I am going to have for dinner. In March, the subject for me was how I was going to entertain my grandkids when they came to visit. I was lucky to be seated next to a gentleman who told me about a sailing camp his boys had attended and how much they had enjoyed it. I have no idea what his name is, but I will be grateful to him forever for sharing that information. After talking with him, I couldn’t wait to find out more. I came home and Googled “South Whidbey Parks
and Recreation District” looking for more information about the sailing camps. Sure enough, there it was — South Whidbey Yacht Club sailing classes offered through the Parks & Recreation District. And, as they say, the rest is history. So, after much coordination, our granddaughter from Wyoming, one grandson from Arlington, and two grandsons from Vancouver came to spend a week in July on Whidbey Island learning to sail. Their ages range from 10 to 12, which is perfect. It was a week they will remember forever. Not only did they learn to sail. We all had an opportunity to get to know each other better. They learned to conquer their fears, follow directions and have fun. On Monday, there was a swimming test in the morning (something they all had to prepare for ahead of time). By the end of the day, they already were out on the water. By Friday, they were whipping around in their El Toro boats like they had been doing it forever. I can’t say enough about what a great program this is. There is more than

Conrad Mark Brown
Conrad Mark Brown
Mark Brown was born in Trinidad, Colo., in August of 1939 on the eve of World War II. His parents were Louise Macdonald Brown and Paul Mack Brown. As a child he spent the winters in Trinidad and summers in Estes Park, Colo., at his grandmother’s book store. When asked about his religious preference, Mark often said his mother was an Episcopalian and his father was a golfer. He tried to

its and demonstrations in all the exhibit halls. Behind-the-scenes responsibilities included security, gate control, ticket sales, information booth, on-site fire and EMT presence, campground, online exhibit registration, cleanup crew and maintenance, vendor liaison, premium office (issues prize money for ribbons), Supt. of Superintendents Office, Office of 4-H Superintendent and the Fair Office. We have no parking areas, so all parking is handled by outside groups. With very few exceptions the fair is brought to you by volunteers, many of whom have contributed very long hours and their talents over the years. Each exhibit area has a superintendent and each one finds his/her own people to be stewards, judges and demonstrators. For example, in Fine Arts (my area) I had three people help with display panels, one to help me hang the 139 art pieces, one judge, four helpers for Entry Day, two for pickup and 28 stewards during the fair. So in addition to myself, 39 volunteers helped with the Fine Arts Exhibit. I especially want to thank the Artists of South Whidbey for their help

emulate his father, but with little success, so he chose the alternative and became an Episcopal Priest. Following his 1969 graduation from Seabury Western Seminary in Chicago, he moved to Ellensburg, Wash., where he served as Campus Minister at Central Washington College, and also served small mission churches in Roslyn and Cle Elum, Wash. It was in Ellensburg he met the love of his life, Effie, to whom he was married for 41 years — the rest of his life. In 1973, Mark and Effie and her two sons moved to Western Washington. In Seattle, they bought a neighborhood grocery two blocks from their house and two blocks from the Fauntleroy Church, where they worshiped and worked in various capacities for 20 years. Mark said it was an intentional experiment in community. They succeeded in creating a small community environment in the midst of a large city and have maintained strong friendships in that community. While living in West Seattle, Mark and Effie joined the Chinook Learning Community, now the Whidbey Institute, where they adopted a lifelong com-
mitment to simple living and care of the environment. Mark also managed the St. Vincent DePaul Thrift Stores in Seattle. Following a sevenyear period as co-owners of the Shenoa Retreat Center in Northern California, Mark and Effie moved back to Washington in 1991, settling on Whidbey Island, where they have lived ever since. As a retirement job, Mark worked at the Freeland Ace Hardware store, utilizing his years of retail experience. They also joined and actively served the Whidbey Island Unitarian Universalist Congregation because they found there a loving community of people and a commitment to their belief in simplicity, social justice and environmental concern. Mark is survived by his wife, Effie, her sons Kent and Jeffrey Bruton, both of the greater Seattle area; his stepdaughter, Deborah Daggett of Petrolia, Calif.; his sister, Paula Steige, and nephew Stephen Laing of Estes Park; and his niece Stacia Valley of St. Louis, Mo. Mark said he’d like to be remembered as one who tried to live his values and was always willing to try new things. A celebration of Mark’s life will be held at

Youngest triathlon racer sticks with hometown race Parks district expects hundreds to compete in 18th installment By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record When Madeline Remmen first signed up for the Whidbey Triathlon five years ago, she needed a permission slip. Not any more. The 16-year-old Clinton girl will be one of more than 200 individual racers, plus about 20 relay teams, competing in this year’s installment of the swim-bike-run Saturday, Aug. 16 event. At 16, she now meets the minimum age for participation, but is still one of the youngest racers. Having done the triathlon for several years now, her parents do not worry the same way they did when they watched their 11-yearold daughter slip into the rippling waters of Goss Lake, one neoncolored, swim-cap covered head bobbing among many like floating skittles. “Now, I don’t put the duct tape on her anymore,” Madeline’s mother Amanda Remmen said, referring to how they used to track their daughter during the .5-mile swim portion of the race, marking her swim cap with a red duct tape X to see her through binoculars from shore. The 18th annual triathlon takes racers from Goss Lake, along Saratoga Passage and through the woods of Community Park — 23.8 miles in all. At that length, it is a bit short of an official Olympic distance designation, but still a long way to travel. “We’re not a sprint race, but we’re on the small end of distances for triathlons,” said Carrie Monforte, race coordinator and program coordinator for the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District. “That makes it accessible for less experienced people.” Remmen first got into the triathlon as the swimmer in a relay back in 2010. She was on a swim team at the time, and her swim coach had to vouch for her to compete. Swimming is still her strong seg-

According to the South
Whidbey Parks & Recreation District registration list, she’ll likely keep that distinction. In all, five 16-year-old girls are registered to compete this year. But the Whidbey Triathlon is a race that draws a broad cross section of people and fitness levels. Monforte credited the natural beauty of South Whidbey Island and the distance for attracting young racers and old alike. The oldest registered racer as of Aug. 7 was 75, and he was part of a relay; the oldest individual racer was 73. At 23.8 miles, it’s not quite a sprint, but the hills on the bike and run present a nice challenge to seasoned triathletes. The course will remain the same as previous years,

Whidbey Island Winery presents ‘shakin’ the vines’ By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record For those who prefer their merlot with a splash of rock n’ roll, The Whidbey Island Winery will continue with its annual “Shakin’ the Vines” concert series Saturday evening. The summer series kicked off last month with a dash of folk and Americana via Ian McFeron and will continue Saturday with the critically acclaimed and locally famous songstress Janie Cribbs along with her new group, the T. Rust Band. Cribbs explained that her new musical outfit continues to serve up the same doses of sultry jazz that has captivated Whidbey audiences for the

She described the new group’s music as “acoustic and electric rootsy blues with an old soul.” Fans of Cribbs and her
previous bands, such as Tambourine Sky, know Cribbs is no stranger to blues music, having been nominated by the Washington Blues Society. “We’re more electric [with the T. Rust band],” she said,
both in the figurative and literal sense. Instead of playing multiple acoustic guitars, Joe will be playing electric guitars including a slide guitar which, according to Janie Cribbs, is a crowd-pleaser. The group, which includes Joe Reggiatore, Kevin Holden and Greg Barnes in addition to Cribbs, has also added bass guitars and drums. “With [blues] you can touch people’s hearts and souls, besides their feet,” Cribbs said, adding jokingly that she expects there will be plenty of dancing, especially after attendees enjoy a glass or two of wine. Sean Karamanyan, employee at Whidbey Island Winery, said this will be the fifth year
of Shakin’ the Vines, and that to date, they haven’t had a day of bad weather. He said the concerts typically attract 20-40 people, making it “a nice little group, nice and intimate.” Jacob Navarro, of the band Spoonshine and Ali Marcus, described his band’s music as “Americana roots music, a landscape where folk, country, bluegrass, rockabilly, and rock and roll are all dancing partners” in an email to The Record. Spoonshine will perform at Shakin’ the Vines on August 30. “My songs are often influenced by northwest, blue collar themes, such as the fishing and logging industries,” he explained. “The natural
landscape of the Skagit Valley and the area that surrounds has always been an influence: mountains, rivers, the sea. Of course life, death, both found and unrequited love, these are so often the primary colors that I turn to when painting a song.” Additional shows in this summer’s series will include roots Americana group Massy Ferguson on Aug. 16 and gypsy jazz ensemble Pearl Django on Aug. 23. Each show is $20 which includes one glass of wine; additional wine is available for purchase. Performances run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Whidbey Island Winery in Langley, outdoors in the vineyard.

Freeman and “Words of Love” Unity of Whidbey will hold regular service at 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 10, at 5671 Crawford Road.

Artist works on pinball mecca By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Tim Leonard is on top of his game. The Langley resident, artist and owner of Heavy Metal Works has been working on projects scattered throughout Whidbey Island for years. His work includes renovation of the Whidbey Telecom phone booths and production of the Useless Bay Coffee Company tables, umbrellas, outdoor performance building and railings, production of various lighted signs and residential items, and recently a “Spy a whale, ring the bell” sign at Hladky Park. But despite his heavy-duty day job, it is the rejuvenation of a classic pastime that really gets him enthused. As a kid growing up in Maryland, Leonard enjoyed the interactivity, artistry and plain old-fashioned fun of the pinball machine. The affinity with the fast-paced, all-up-tochance game was rekindled when Leonard, who recently began doing more work with neon lighting, came across a discarded pinball machine in Hanford, Wash. The idea of restoring old machines had been simmering in Leonard’s mind for years prior, but it never felt like the right time to start until that moment. “I saw it on Craigslist, and I was like ‘That’s it, that’s the one. Here we go,’” he recalled. “After I started doing the lighting with the neon signs, it just seemed natural that pinball was next because it is still mechanical. I love the artwork. I love the lights. And I love [fixing] them so that people can play with them.” Leonard said he has approximately 11 in his house presently with about five in his living room, which he plays regularly. Xenon, manufactured in 1980 as the first talking pinball machine to feature a female voice, is

Tim Leonard, owner of Heavy Metal Works, renovates old pinball machines. Leonard’s current favorite. It is also one he has yet to find. Giuseppe LandrumRecchi, a barista at Callahan’s Firehouse, said the Buck Rogers machine is “by far the best.” “Each one is so different. All of the elemental parts are the same, but the way they are assembled, the way somebody sat down and designed each game individually and somebody sat down and designed the artwork … I appreciate the amount of effort that went into constructing these machines.” Leonard explained that there are both electric and mechanical machines, and noted that the electrical ones tend to have the problems one might expect: “chips and transistors fry,” etc. The mechanical machines, he continued, usually decline due to lack of play. Aside from repairs, Leonard said a great deal of
his enjoyment in the project comes with the hunt for his next machine. “I like finding them, the hunt, meeting the people who own these machines,” he said. “They’re very interesting characters.” Leonard added that, while some collectors of pinball machines, like a seller named Carl he once encountered, amass hundreds of machines in their lifetimes, collecting is not his goal. “You hear stories about people like that who have 200 machines in their house and they have to add storage units on their property to put all of the machines in. I want to put them back out in the community and have South Whidbey be pinball mecca someday,” he said. Leonard’s machines were housed in Sundance Bakery prior to its closing. There is also one in the lobby of the Whidbey Children’s Theater and six in the back
of Callahan’s in Langley. A bowling alley, Leonard said, will likely also house some. One of Leonard’s two renovated Sky Lab machines will be donated and available for purchase at an upcoming Whidbey Island Center for the Arts auction. After his work is done, Leonard’s final reward is seeing the neon lights of the pinball machines reflected in the excited eyes of kids and adults enjoying the game, sometimes for the first time. Leonard recalled a few occasions when he met adults older than himself who had never played the game before. He also said he has come into Callahan’s to be greeted by a swarm of 8-year-olds “dancing and jumping up and down and going crazy over it.” Mikayla Schumacher, another barista at Callahan’s, confirmed that she has often encountered groups of kids and adults who come in to play the machines and said she enjoys playing the older games herself. “It’s just really fun,” she said. “That’s the funnest thing; it isn’t about the money, it’s

There are currently six pinball machines owned by Leonard inside of Callahan’s Firehouse in Langley. not a money-making operation at all,” said Leonard. “It’s about exposing people young and old to a form of entertainment that doesn’t involve computers. It’s more interactive, more prone to chance.” In much the same way, Leonard’s pinball machine purchases are often a gamble. Two of the machines in Callahan’s, he said, worked fine when he picked them up. Another required 30 hours of work and a great
deal of problem-solving. Once he had restored the latter, Leonard said, “it felt like I could fix anything.” “The ultimate goal is to learn how they work and design my own, to get other people involved, especially artists,” he said. “That’s not my strong suit, but there are so many wild artists out here I think that would be a great platform to play with.”

by leading agency officials would be a distraction. “It’s just two different meetings,” said Harris, add-
ing that just such a gathering will likely happen at some point. The transit leaders did get plenty of feedback. Whidbey Watershed Stewards Education Coordinator Lori O’Brien, who attended with other organization leaders,
voiced concern over the loss of service on Maxwelton Road. Thousands of students use it every year to get to the group’s Outdoor Classroom. “It’s a huge loss for the kids,” she said. Others worried about

the impacts on paratransit services, and those who need bus service because of physical disabilities. Gary Bluhm, a Langley resident, is legally blind and regularly relies on public transportation. He said the cuts could have been more evenly distributed throughout the system, that he pays taxes like Oak Harbor residents but will be without service for at least one year. He urged the agency to find funding needed to restore the eliminated routes. “Go find the money,” Bluhm said. “It’s out there, go find it.” Island Transit staff at the meeting all expressed personal heartache over the cuts, and acknowledged that the organization has a tough job ahead. “We’ve definitely lost a trust and we’re going to work as hard as we can to earn that back,” Harris said. “Hopefully we can get past what has to happen right now.”
Pending transit route changes Beginning Sept. 1, the following routes changes will go into effect: — Routes 5 and 9 will be suspended until further notice. — Saturday service will be suspended until further notice. — Route 6 will have service every other hour starting at 7:20 a.m.-5:20 p.m. — Route 7 will be modified to run from Langley to Bayview [via Bayview Road] northbound [to service some of the suspended portion of the Route 8] and a southbound run to be determined based on community input. — Route 8 service will be suspended except for the three commuter runs in the morning [5 a.m., 5:30 a.m., 6 a.m.] and the three commuter runs in the evening [5:15 p.m., 5:45 p.m., 6:15 p.m.] — Route 10 will be broken out into two routes. It will remain the same and leave Harbor Station at 45 minutes after the hour from 7:45 a.m. through 5:45 p.m. The new Route 11 will follow Route 10 until Saars where it will service the senior center/pool, Safeway, and the Post Office. The Route 11 will leave at 15 minutes past the hour from 8:15 a.m. through 6:15 p.m.
County to review fish, wildlife changes Aug. 11 Island County commissioners will review changes to the fish and wildlife conservation plan at their Aug. 11 regular meeting. Commissioners took public comment July 21 and 28 and will now incorporate that feedback into changes and clarifications of the document.

You find yourself in the spotlight for one reason or another, and it brings you much success. You clarify a rather ambiguous story.
It’s already time to think about getting ready for the new school year. Even if you don’t have young children, you are responsible for an activity that has similar requirements. As you get ready to participate in some social activities, your boss, or other responsibilities, could put a damper on your enthusiasm. Remember, your responsibilities come first!

where the state had issued rights of entry. The timing was largely coincidental. Reeves said the state office was in the process of reviewing why it should or should not allow certain uses, including the sand shrimp harvest. “Shrimp is one of those things that’s fallen largely under the radar,” he said.

At the public meeting in Coupeville, a handful of people from the shrimp advisory committee attended to hear an update from the state. Susan Berta, co-founder of Orca Network, offered to supply Reeves’ office with studies she and others have conducted about sand shrimp counts and whale visits. “What really got me was when we got the harvest data in the last seven or eight years …” she said. Gray whales continue to visit Puget Sound annually, despite the commercial harvest that happened yearround. One of Langley’s major concerns was the loss of the whales feeding off the city’s shores in recent years, which many residents believed was directly related to the commercial harvesters. Shrimp harvester Randy Linard, a Freeland resident, disagreed. He said it was and remains in his interest to leave enough ghost shrimp to repopulate for his next harvest at one of a handful of tracts he had access to that totaled 200 acres around Whidbey Island, from Penn Cove to the Clinton Ferry Terminal. “It’s like a farm and it produced every year,” Linard said. “And the whales had plenty of food.”

Blain Reeves presents an update to the state’s termination of leases to tidelands around Whidbey Island used for ghost/sand shrimp harvesting. “I’ve been harvesting shrimp for 25 years,” he added. “Has anybody mentioned the fact that the gray whales, their numbers have gone up every year since we’ve been harvesting?” One of the few limitations was that only half of the sustainable yield could be harvested. The problem with that, said Reeves, was the state didn’t know the size of a sustainable sand shrimp

population, and that the state’s “prevailing thought” was that if they could continue to be harvested without any major drop-off in numbers, then that must be OK. “We really didn’t have an idea of how much biomass was being removed,” he said, adding that it is possible that the whales rotate their feeding grounds in a cyclical manner when in Puget Sound.

Now they know. According to a study conducted by another group, 50 tons of sand shrimp were harvested from the area in one year by the DNR-approved harvesters plus another 20 tons by the Tulalip Tribes. Armed with more information and a directive by Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark, the state is looking at sand shrimp. Reeves said his department hired a scientist to review the crustacean to better understand its habitat, life cycle, and role in the environment. “Until they know enough about it to know what the percentage is, they can’t allow an unknown percent to be taken,” said Fred Lundahl, a Langley merchant and shrimp committee member. Issues related to the ambient problems of shrimp harvesting were also mentioned at the meeting. Reeves said he had heard complaints over the past five years that the boats operated at night and were too loud and used bright lights. That concern was echoed by Barbara Bennett, the Island County Beach Watchers coordinator. “It was like having someone in your neighborhood with a leaf blower,” she said. The decision to terminate the five-year rights of entry leases was one the state department stood by. Reeves said the harvest still did not have a significant public benefit, one of the agency’s guidelines for allowing access to its lands. He noted that the rights of entry cost less than $200 each, and that the total of money brought in by the state was less than $1,000. A public benefit of having easily accessed bait, popular in freshwater for steelhead fishing, however, was less easily determined. Reeves said Goldmark has fielded complaints from all along the West Coast, from as far south as Southern California, regarding the loss of sand shrimp. “I could have never forecasted the backlash the commissioner got,” he said. By October, Reeves said the state hopes to have a document about the sand shrimp to help guide its decision-making process. Eventually, the state will track the harvest, identify sites for the shrimp and work with the tribes to execute a management plan. Linard said he and the other commercial harvesters who were edged out just have to wait until the state reverses its decision.
