Clinton council pins hopes on Food Shed plan By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Creating a place where Clinton can gather for a cup of coffee, some local produce and community events is at the forefront of the Clinton Community Council’s agenda. Both finding a space where those things can happen and making Clinton a more attractive place for visitors were discussed during the volunteer council’s monthly meeting Monday night. The group, a non-elected body of more than a dozen volunteers trying to fight for Clinton’s economic vitality and survival, met in the Clinton Community Hall. Across the street, members pointed out that a longtime antique store is having a closing sale. A block up Commercial Street, a once full shopping center is mostly vacant. With a shoestring budget of less than $4,000 between the council and the Whidbey Food Shed group, they’re hoping to find partners to secure a location for the cafe-grocer-event space. Negotiations are ongoing, said council member Carol Flax, between a building owner and potential longterm renters who want to use the space for their catering business and also possibly for a cafe. “This is incredible for Clinton,” she said. “We don’t get this every day, and we worked our butts off.” The Food Shed was proposed last year by members of the Clinton Community Council, which is still working on its official corporation

Langley mayor pardons city’s bunnies despite citizen complaints By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Worried that a mass culling or relocation of Langley’s abundant rabbit population would be political suicide, Mayor Fred McCarthy has decided to let the bunnies be. Despite fielding several complaints about the booming bunny population in Langley, the city
will not hire a trapper or authorize the slaying of rabbits under McCarthy’s governance. “I don’t think we’re going to get into the business of trapping and euthanizing rabbits,” McCarthy said. “I don’t think that would go over well in Langley.” Residents are split on their opinions of the furry critters. Some have taken to feeding and
sheltering the big-eared bunnies, which in Langley are largely a combination of semi-wild/ feral rabbits or hares and non-native eastern cottontail rabbits, according to Russell Link with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. SEE RABBITS, A13
Fiber arts program weaves new skills into students By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Sheep may not be masters of arithmetic, and goats may not be adept business strategists. But students at South Whidbey Academy are learning lessons in these and a variety of other subjects through study of these animals, and their fibers. The Sheep to Shawl and Fiber Arts programs at South Whidbey Academy are led by volunteer Christi
Rosenberger, who visits the school twice weekly to instruct two groups of students in these respective disciplines. The South Whidbey Schools Foundation donated $1,500 to this year’s program. This year, the program is incorporating goat fibers as well as those from sheep. Kindergarteners, first graders and second graders take part in Fiber Arts, where they improve fine motor skills, learn basic arithmetic and
other lessons while learning to tie knots, play string games like cat’s cradle and knit with their fingers. Third, fourth and fifth-grade classes take the Sheep to Shawl class, which is somewhat more advanced. Students take on tasks like dying and researching the origin of their fibers as well as planting dye plants, harvesting and spinning. “The arts are an awesome intersection of lots of different content or academic learnings, and kids get

Kudos Whidbey Family Birthplace receives recognition from state hospital association for care improvements The Washington State Hospital Association recognized Whidbey Family Birthplace at Whidbey General Hospital for quality improvement work in 2014, according to a recent news release. Trish Nilsen, BSN, RNC-OB, Whidbey Family Birthplace manager and Dennis Wagner of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, were joined by Seattle Seahawk mascot Blitz at a celebration last month in Seattle. The celebration was a recognition of the successful efforts to decrease labor inductions and cesarean sections at the hospital, according to the release. In order to achieve this decrease, Whidbey General Hospital participated in the Leading Edge Advance Practice Topic project, a collaborative effort between selected hospitals, Washington State Hospital Association and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Nilsen and OB providers Dr. Robert Burnett and Sarah Meyer, CNM, coor-
dinated their Leading Edge Advance Practice Topic efforts, according to the release. Nilsen will be presenting Whidbey Family Birthplace’s work at the national American Association of Women’s Health and Neonatal Nursing convention in Long Beach, Calif. in June. Whidbey Family Birthplace’s success story was also featured on NPR and the team was invited to participate in a film by Washington State Hospital Association to encourage other Washington hospitals in improving their obstetrical care programs, according to the press release. Leading Edge Advance Practice Topic is a program that seeks to generate measurable improvements in 12 emerging areas of healthcare within one year. Statewide, Leading Edge Advance Practice Topic supports numerous initiatives with achievements including reductions in infections, mortality and employee injury, according to the news release.

Island, Skagit consider splitting regional transportation management By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Skagit County leaders are looking at separating or revising the regional transportation agreement with Island County. In a series of recent meetings, elected officials from both areas discussed the future of the Skagit-Island Regional Transportation Planning Organization (SIRTPO), and another meeting will be held Jan. 28 to explore options. While there’s an “overwhelming sense” that Skagit leaders want to make transportation decisions on a county level, Island County leaders said they believe there are advantages to keeping the regional agreement in place. “I’m a big proponent of the different regions and organizations working together in any way we can to better the services we provide to our communities,” Island County Commissioner Rick Hannold said. “There’s strength in numbers.” Established in 1991, the SIRTPO was created to assist the two counties in planning regionally for transportation needs, prioritizing projects and distributing state money. While a course of action has yet to be hammered out, most agree that the organization is outdated, contains redundancies and needs to be revised or eliminated. “We do need to update it, at a minimum,” said Kevin Murphy, executive director of the Skagit Council of Governments. “(The SIRTPO) needs to be modified. They want to continue to plan together, but the format of how that’s done may change.” Murphy said Skagit’s conversation started last summer after a series of law changes and the establishment of a Metropolitan Planning

The additional transportation planning board is not currently recognized within the scope of the SIRTPO. To add to this redundancy, a sub-RTPO board exists in both counties, creating a system where construction projects are approved both on a county level and a regional level, Murphy said. “There’s three governing boards and there’s some overlapping,” Murphy said. “They make decisions two times, so there is an efficiency concern.” As the smaller of the two counties, Island County commissioners are in favor of retaining their connection with Skagit, but are open to changes to SIRTPO operations. “Updating methodologies, that seems easy enough to do,” Hannold said. In addition to the SIRTPO, Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said the two counties share more than just
transportation, such as the commercial and employment interests as well as agencies like the Northwest Agricultural Business Center. “It’s those relationships that may not be project related,” Price Johnson said. “I know an awful lot more about my entire region because of RTPO so I can do my job better.” Price Johnson also stressed that the SIRTPO carries more clout with Olympia and state agencies as a regional organization. Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson pointed out that the connection between the two counties has been mutually beneficial historically. When the SIRTPO was first created, Skagit County

did not meet the 100,000 population threshold and needed Island County’s additional residents to become eligible for the funding, Johnson said. Since that time, Skagit County’s population has risen to 118,837, according to 2013 U.S. Census projections, and Island County has 78,801. “When Skagit County didn’t have 100,000 we were a pretty fine looking dance partner,” Johnson said. “Now that you have 100,000 people apparently we look good sitting on the wall.” Lisa Janicki, a newly-elected Skagit County commissioner, said she’s heard anecdotally that SIRTPO board members from Skagit often “don’t know enough about an Oak Harbor-based project to make an intelligent decision”

COUNTY incident. Beware jury duty Bridge to close for summer paving phone scam The Island County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents to beware a new phone scam. According to an email alert from Sheriff Mark Brown, there have been several reports of people being contacted by phony law enforcement officials. The caller then tells the target that they have jury duty, but need to pay to have a warrant “lifted” first. “… this is a scam,” wrote Brown, in the alert. Legitimate police officers or representatives of a court will not ask for payments over the phone or request other sensitive information, such as a Social Security number, Brown wrote. Anyone who receives such a call is urged to contact the sheriff’s office at
Deception Pass Bridge will be closed for five nights this summer for paving and bridge maintenance. While the dates of the closures have yet to be set, planners anticipate five 10-hour overnight closures of the bridge from about 7-8 p.m. to 5-6 a.m., according to Tom Pearce with the Washington State Department of Transportation communications office. “We’ll have signs posted,” Pearce said. “We’ll use several methods to reach out to the public to let them know when the closures will be.” The closures of both Deception Pass Bridge and Canoe Pass Bridge are part of a larger paving project running from Frostad Road north to Sharpes Corner. Pearce said there will only be partial, one-lane closures during the nonbridge road paving portions of the project. Trooper Mark Francis with the Washington State Patrol said drivers should remember that fines are double in construction zones and they should drive with caution. The state will put the
construction project out for bid next month, a contractor will be selected in March and the entire paving is expected to be completed July through September. Francis said because construction will be happening at the height of tourist season, travelers will need to be patient and plan ahead. “In addition to packing your bags and your lunch, we want people to pack their patience,” Francis said. Because of the heightened tourist activity, Francis said the partial closures will feel like a full closure because traffic will back up significantly.

Seasonal limits eyed for food trucks in Langley By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Protecting existing businesses will take precedence for Langley with its food truck ordinance. The city council asked Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio to amend the ordinance at Tuesday’s council meeting to include some kind of seasonal restriction. Previously, Davolio had considered a summer season permit between Memorial Day and Labor Day, from late May to early September. Councilwoman Rene Neff posited eliminating the slower months when “everybody is struggling” such as January and February, while still allowing food trucks to roll into town for special events, such as the Sea Float Scramble or Mystery Weekend. A prospective food truck owner, who currently works as a chef at Prima Bistro in Langley, agreed that the first few months of the year are slower for restaurants in the city.
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Langley planning director Michael Davolio speaks to the city council Jan. 20. “From their standpoint, I understand why they’re trying to implement a seasonal thing in a small town,” said Chris Vulk, who hopes to launch the Farm-to-Truck food truck this spring. “During the offseason, like it is right now, it’s a lot slower.” Vulk and his food truck partners want to take their rolling business to areas other than Langley, though the Village by the Sea will make an ideal location during summer, he said. He also suggested that allowing food
trucks during the weekends of every month could be beneficial. With more tourists in town, setting up next to the sidewalks could make for booming business. “For me, I want to move around to different spots,” Vulk said. “Langley’s going to be a big part of that because a lot of people come in during the summer.” “This isn’t going to be a part-time business for us,” he added. “It’s going to be a fulltime business.” Councilman Bruce Allen
also asked to include an exclusion from the identified food truck zones during Choochokam Arts Festival, of which he is a board member. Only one city council member questioned the fairness of issuing licenses to food trucks but restricting their months of operation. Councilman Thomas
Violinist to solo J.S. Bach sonata as part of concert series Gloria Ferry-Brennan, Langley resident, will perform a violin solo sonata by J.S. Bach, violin concerti by Barber and Mozart and compositions by Debussy and Paganini in the next installment of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island’s Concert Series. The concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday Feb. 6-7 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island in Freeland. Eileen Soskin will provide piano accompaniment. Ferry-Brennan, now 18 years old, began playing the violin at age four. She is currently studying under Simon James, according to a recent press release. The young
virtuoso recently returned from The Perlman Music Program in Florida and was a student at Itzhak Perlman’s summer camp in 2014, according to the release. She has performed as a soloist with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra and will play with them once more on March 14 as a soloist in Ravel’s “Tzigane.” The release states that in 2012, Ferry-Brennan appeared on NPR’s “From the Top,” and last year she was selected as a finalist in the highly competitive Menuhin International Violin Competition. Tickets may be reserved online at concerts@ uucwi.org or purchased at Moonraker Books in Langley or Habitat for Humanity in Freeland.
Tickets cost $15 for general admission or $5 for students. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door unless sold out. This is the third concert in Unitarian Universalist Church of Whidbey Island’s 2014-15 Concert Series. The final concert will be “Pasture-ized” a new musical, written and directed by Freeland resident Ken Merrell with original music composed by Eileen Soskin.

posed $100 per year food truck license. “To just let a cart be on a parking space wouldn’t be appropriate,” McCarthy said. “A business owner has to lease their property or rent it. There should be some sort of cost with occupying the space.” As it exists now, the new food truck ordinance draft specifies that with permission of a private property owner, a food truck may set up within city limits if it has its necessary county health documents and a city license. The council voted to move the ordinance to a second reading, which was not an approval of the final ordinance.

Gill, who said some of his friends run food trucks in Portland, Oregon, said he was concerned with including a restriction of food trucks during an event like Choochokam, especially if the trucks were on private property. Finding ways to make sure the city gets adequately compensated for a food truck’s use of a city parking space was raised by Davolio. He said that the city should not allow a food truck to have a license and use parking because it would be a business using public space for private gain. Mayor Fred McCarthy later added that the city is looking at per day fees or incorporating those costs into the originally pro-

Editor’s column Langley’s rabbit woes deserve redressing By JUSTIN BURNETT
“Ooooo, dat wascaly wabbit. Oooooo.” One can almost picture Elmer Fudd fuming over Langley’s newly declared public enemy number one — Bugs Bunny. Lips pursed, shaking his head and lifting a fist to the heavens crying, “That scwewy wabbit!” Well, Fudd had it right. Crafty, evil at heart and multiplying exponentially, these furry menaces are a nefarious bunch indeed. Clearly they’re trying to take over the town, and one can’t help but wonder at Mayor Fred McCarthy’s maintenance of a do-no-harm bunny policy. The only explanation is that he’s in league with them. That, or he’s just a straight-up bunny lover. Either way, don’t be fooled. These floppy eared, gardenwrecking, mobile traffic hazards are obviously a threat, having hopped their way into the highest echelons of Langley government. Of course, they could be aliens in disguise. Think about it: big dopey ears, soft fur and a laughable excuse for a tail. It’s all to throw us off our guard. Seriously, why do they appear so disarming yet in such great numbers. Like the classic film “War of the Worlds,” these globe wreckers emerge from underground and wreak havoc. Destroying landscaping, darting into traffic, giving innocent people the evil eye — and that’s just the start. Perhaps arming citizens with shotguns isn’t the best way to go, at least it never seemed to work out for Elmer Fudd. But now we’re affording them police protection? Is this really happening? Where does it end? Are we destined to be a town of bunnies? Should they be allowed to vote? What’s next? One could argue that Langley’s rabbit population is one of the things that make the city endearing, but there are other ways to promote the Village by the Sea. Perhaps the chamber of commerce or main street could organize hunting excursions into certain parts of town — the sparsely populated areas, of course. Safety first. Maybe that’s not such a good idea either, particularly since Langley’s rules don’t even allow the firing of a BB gun in town. But, if the city won’t do anything, what are homeowners to do? Build fences? Have big cats? Post sternly worded no trespassing bunny signs? It appears their only recourse is to throw up their hands and live with them. It’s either that or elect Fudd for mayor in the next election.

Employee parking is a problem Editor, This is a letter to Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy: The brief note in the Saturday Record brings up Langley parking. As a 40-plus-year resident of Clinton, I write to the current mayor from time to time to explain why I, and a lot of other residents, do not go into Langley. Parking by employees. If I cannot park at least within a reasonable distance from the business that I would like to visit, I do not go. Sitting in the Village Pizza or in Cafe Langley, you can
watch business employees park and go into business to work. The article mentioned a study. Wow! Why don’t you just walk around the three blocks of downtown with a pad and paper and write down license plate numbers and put them into a database and see who parks in the prime spots daily. You will be surprised. If you are too lazy to do this, have the rookie police officer do this just for fun. This is not rocket science. I will write again in a couple of years when this problem is being studied again in a multi-million dollar study. WILLIAM COUCH Clinton

Ferries article missed numbers Editor, Your Jan. 14 edition of The Record misquoted Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson in a ferries article. She did not say fares went up 200 percent since 2000. She said fares have risen “over 100 percent” (actually 101 percent) while nationwide inflation has caused prices to rise 33.2 percent over the same period. Since the loss of the motor vehicle excise tax funds dedicated to ferries in 2000, ferry fares have risen dramatically to where they pay for 70 percent of ferry operating
costs versus the gas tax which funds 15-20 percent of roads. That’s 70 percent on average. The Mukilteo-Clinton route is the most lucrative route for Washington State Ferries with close to 100 percent paid for via the fare box. It is time to bring fares more in line with what mainland motorists pay, and Governor Jay Inslee’s budget begins this by proposing to freeze fares for the next two years. Better yet, how about a fare reduction for MukilteoClinton? Reasonable fares are important to the vitality of Whidbey Island. The article also noted that ferries have been reliSEE LETTERS, A7

This run experienced its worst performance in 15 years with 444 cancellations (excluding 2007 when the steel-electric boats were suddenly pulled from service). Weather and tides account for 363 of these cancellations. Safety concerns are preeminent on this run. The crews, masters, and port captain are to be congratulated for their safety record. There are efforts underway to identify anything that can help improve performance on the Coupeville run. This route has the highest ratio of commercial traffic and is a vital link

City minutes need improvement Editor, Langley fails to accurately report the proceedings of their council meetings and fails to properly save documents. At the Dec. 19 council meeting, I used a report submitted by the Langley Parks Commission to make my point. The Record noted that this advisory board presented a significant report to the council. The minutes did not provide the commission’s conclusion or their reasoning. The city could not find the document. To

get a copy, I had to go to an advisory board member. The city clerk said that the missing document was not “formally submitted.” All documents presented to the city council should be, as a matter of course, attached to meeting minutes or referenced in the minutes and available to the public. At the Dec. 1 council meeting, after much discussion, the mayor agreed to retract an erroneous statement in the budget. The newspaper reported the discussion and the mayor’s statement. When the minutes of that meeting omitted these events, I challenged their accuracy. The minutes were never revised. Documents sent to the city and referenced cannot always be located. The city clerk said that the city lacks personnel trained in information technology and also lacks staff to get the files in order.

Washington State Code says that the minutes of all meetings shall be promptly recorded and such records shall be open to public inspection. Council minutes have not always been available for review by the public prior to approval. Agendas are not made available in a timely manner, and sometimes not at all. Although the city’s website has a sign-up for email notifications, none are sent for meeting agendas or minutes. The announcement for the Langley Lift hearing was made in the newspaper on the same day of the meeting! Some advisory boards have never had agendas or minutes on the langleywa. org website. Others have, only sometimes. Of eight advisory boards, only one always has agendas and minutes. The City of Langley needs to do a much better

Selling your home means you will bear a heavy responsibility – setting the asking price. Some owners believe their agent sets the price. Not so. The agent is an invaluable information resource – but does not set the price. You do. Your agent may implement a brilliant marketing program, attracting many prospective buyers to your home. Prospects may get excited and see themselves owning your home, but the ultimate sale will occur only if you have priced the home fairly. Begin by asking your agent for details about all sales in your area over the past twelve months. Eliminate those which sold a the highest and lowest prices. Next, compare the financing, any special incentives offered, and the conditions of those homes already sold. Look at the sale times too, an consider eliminating the longest (overpriced) and the shortest (underpriced). Take a look at the price variance among those which sold. Try averaging their sale prices, taking into account differences in square footage. Ask your agent which sales appear most typical or similar to the home you are offering. What was the asking price to sale price percentage? If most homes sold within 3% of their asking price, be careful not to set a price more than 3% above the market. Price our home high and you may wait. Price it right and you will move!

Wednesday, January 28, 2015 • The South Whidbey Record
Stifling defense leads way in Falcons’ Tiger taming By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Behind a stingy defense and a red-hot offense, the Falcon girls basketball team scorched the Granite Falls Tigers 67-33 on Friday night. South Whidbey (4-6 Cascade Conference, 4-10 overall) held Granite Falls (0-10 conference, 1-15 overall) to just two points in the first quarter. The 67 points were by far the most scored all season by the Falcons; their secondhighest total is 52. Through the first half, the Falcons took a 32-14 lead that they extended to 22 points by the third quarter before putting it away with a 34-point victory. Of the 11 Falcons who touched the court, eight of them scored. Sophomore Kacie Hanson led the way with a game-high 15 points, including the first four of the game. Abby Hodson, a senior, muscled her way to 13 points, eight of which came in the second half. After an early bucket by Tiger senior Makenzie McLaughlin, the Falcons closed out the quarter on a 14-point run. Granite Falls got into double digits with a little more than two minutes before halftime when McLaughlin hit the front end of a one-and-one free throw. The Falcons, however, went on a tear and poured in another nine points to take a 32-14 lead at the break. Every time the Tigers seemed poised to make a run, the Falcons stole the ball or hit their free throws. Trying to pressure the Falcons, the Tigers used a full-court press. Falcon freshman guard Mikayla Hezel dribbled her way through the defenders, passed to freshman Mackenzie Collins for

Defensively, the Tigers held the Falcons in check in the third quarter. South Whidbey had its lowest eight-minute period with 13 points, compared to 16 in the first and second quarters, and 22 in the fourth. But trailing by 12 points and with sophomore post Hayley Hansen in foul trouble early led the Tigers to attempt perimeter shots. The Falcons continued to move the ball along the perimeter against the Tigers’ set defense, working from sideline to sideline until someone found themselves open near the basket — often Hodson.
Whidbey boys roll over Granite Falls Falcon senior Parker Collins scored a game-high 19 points to power the South Whidbey boys basketball team to a 56-43 win over Granite Falls on Friday. The Falcons held a 21-14 lead
By the fourth quarter, the Falcons had swapped out many of the starters, leading to some shining moments for the reserve players. Even then, momentum continued in South Whidbey’s favor. Three-point shooting, which has been hit and miss with South Whidbey this season, was integral to the Falcons’ barrage. The Falcons connected on four three-pointers, including a pair by sophomore Bayley Forsyth. Fighting to ensure a spot in the 1A District 1 tournament, the Falcons lead the Sultan Turks (3-7 conference, 4-12 overall) by one win.
by halftime and were able to extend it to 38-30 in the third quarter. The victory was South Whidbey’s second consecutive win, both of which were away. South Whidbey scored 21 points on seven three-pointers. Collins led the way with three from the perimeter, followed by junior Donovan Miller who hit a

pair. Freshman Lewis Pope and junior Ricky Muzzy each scored one three-pointer as well. Chandler Sutton, a Falcon senior, chipped in 15 points as South Whidbey’s second-highest scorer. Granite Falls (3-7 Cascade Conference, 6-10 overall) was led by Daniel Matalomani’s 16
points. The Falcons (4-6 conference, 7-9 overall) may be peaking at the right time. As of press time, before the Falcons hosted the Archbishop Murphy Wildcats on Jan. 27, South Whidbey had won four of its past five games. The 1A District 1 tournament begins Feb. 9, and only the
top three 1A teams from the Cascade Conference qualify. South Whidbey is in third place among the four 1A teams in the league, and is well ahead of Cedar Park Christian (0-9 conference, 5-10 overall).

Land Trust gets $1 million to purchase Possession property By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record More than 2,000 feet of shoreline, 33 acres of forest and wetlands, and 26 acres of beach and tidelands on South Whidbey will be protected in part due to a $1 million federal grant awarded this month. The property has been a high priority for the Whidbey Camano Land Trust which has long wanted to protect and restore the old Waterman Mill property along Possession Sound, according to Pat Powell, Land Trust executive director. Powell said the eroding cliffs on the property, prone to major and minor landslides, could have posed a safety issue if developed. “The bluff will be allowed to erode naturally,” Powell said. “You want that.” Abutting a property already owned by the Land Trust, the property will then connect, except for a small piece of private property, to more than 10,000 feet of public tidelands, reaching all the way to Sandy Point near Langley, according to a Land Trust press release. The largely vegetative shoreline is filled with natural ecosystems that can help keep the bluff as stable as possible, Powell said. A county road, now used as a walking and biking trail, will be retained for that purpose. The property is not purchased yet but the deal should be complete sometime this summer, according to Powell. Other project highlights include noxious weed removal and interpretive signs outlining shoreline process and its history as the historic Waterman Mill. Debra Waterman, one of the landowners, recalled that “wood chips from our family’s sawmill in Langley were trucked to the property and

protection specialist, said the property has earned a good bit of national attention as one of only 25 properties to receive the highly-competitive grant nationally.
“It’s one of the top coastal projects in the country,” Rideout said. This is due in part to the feeder fish habitat that lines the shoreline for the migrant salmon population, Rideout said. Under the terms of the project, Rideout said, the Land Trust will partner with the Department of Natural Resources to remove a creosote-soaked bulkhead that is leeching contaminants into Puget Sound. The associated pier was removed under the same DNR program several years ago. “It is the financial generosity of you, our members, that supports our professional staff who submitted grants totaling $7.8 million in 2014, of which $3.4 million has already been awarded, including this most recent success,” the news release said. The $1 million grant was awarded through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s
National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program and is a partnership with the Washington Department of Ecology, according to the Land Trust.

Wednesday, January 28, 2015 • The South Whidbey Record
Conference to discuss ‘all things Puget Sound’ By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Whidbey Island’s ecosystem is one of its most unique and delicate features. Oceanic and land-based flora and fauna intertwine in a complex chain, each link reliant upon the others to maintain the wellbeing of the whole. Sound Waters, a one-day educational conference, presents Whidbey residents with the opportunity to learn more about the island and surrounding areas and the ways to help preserve them. According to the conference website, around 500-600 island residents attend each year. The conference will kick off with a keynote speaker presentation, after which attendees will have the option to choose from a variety of 63 classes during each of three sessions throughout the day. This year’s conference will feature 41 new presentations covering such topics as bees, raptors, owls, shellfish, salmon, crabbing, fishing, gardening, renewable energy, shoreline restoration and tsunamis. An additional 35 exhibits will be on display. Keynote speaker and University of Washington Professor John Delaney will present “Our Global Ocean — The Ultimate Planetary Life Support System.” He will discuss the recent installation of the world’s largest Internet-connected ocean observatory, located off the West Coast of the United States. The observatory employs robots which monitor the ocean from the surface of the water the ocean floor in order to better understand the ocean and its life-supporting properties. Presentations include a screening of “Return of the River,” a film illustrating an element of hope amidst “grim” recent news regarding the environment. The film discusses the removal of the dam at Washington State’s Elwha River, “an unlikely success story for environmental and cultural restoration,” according to a press release. Marky Olson, publicity chairwoman for Sound Waters, said that the Elwha River was one of the most striking things she learned about when she first joined Beach Watchers, the volun-

Although Olson had read about the river and the dam’s implications, she said she didn’t give it much thought until seeing it firsthand. She attended a discussion of the river and the destructive impact of the former dam and said she was moved by a speech from a Native American presenter whose community depended upon the river’s natural resources. At the end of the presentation, Olson recalled that a fellow Beach Watchers member asked the speaker how he felt the day the dam was destroyed. “I’m not a very religious man,” he replied. “But on that day the sky was singing, the birds were singing and so were the mountains.” Other presentations include “The Genesis of the Keystone Species Concept: How Apex Predators Drive the Diversity in an Ecosystem” by Dr. Robert Pain and “Conservation Meets Preservation: Exploring the Cultural Landscape of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve” by Lynn Hyde. Beach Watchers is a group of volunteers who act in coordination with the Washington State University Island County Extension Program.
Watchers, she surmised that there would be far less available data and research. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), she explained, utilizes data collected by Beach Watchers since NOAA does not have the funds to employ enough people to do as much extensive research themselves. “Beach Watchers is a force of humanity,” Olson said. Clinton resident Linda Ridder, Sound Waters event chairwoman and Beach Watcher, became involved with the organization in 2005. Being a retired professor, said Ridder, education is of paramount importance to her. Sound Waters provides ample opportunity for residents to learn about dozens of topics from gray whales and sustainable gardening to government environmental policies and tsunamis, she added. New and urgent issues such as ocean acidification, depletion of the salmon population and subsequent malnutrition in whales, heavy metal runoff, sea star deaths and a virus amongst the eel grass beds are current concerns for Beach Watchers and others. Things can be fairly complex, said Ridder, and the idea of Sound Waters is to help residents understand these issues and the ways in which they can help. “Anyone can come, from high school students to retired PhD scientists and housewives,” said Ridder. “It’s a place for everybody to get involved.”
Event details: Contributed photo
Beach Watchers Lee Chavez, Phyllis Kind and Joanne McMillen collect data on eel grass beds to be used by organizations like NOAA. Each year, a new class of volunteers takes 100 hours of classes spanning subjects in “all things Puget Sound.” The group contributes more than 20,000 total volunteer hours a year, according to the organization’s website. Volunteer work includes collecting data on intertidal flora and fauna, juvenile salmon, forage fish, pigeon guillemots, water quality and shellfish monitoring. It also includes educating the public to be beach naturalists, ship naturalists and teachers at the South Whidbey School
District’s Outdoor Classroom on Maxwelton Road, planning educational events and cleaning up litter and other debris. “If we don’t understand what is happening and we don’t understand the beauty and power of the Salish Sea we won’t be able to save it,” Olson said. “The only way to save it is to be educated about it.” The more individuals who know about sea and island ecosystems, she added, the more possible it will be to preserve them for future
generations. “I think the happiest part of my week is when I get down near the water,” Olson said. “I smell it and hear it and feel it and it is powerful. I wish more people would take the time to do that.” Olson noted that there are several new environmental concerns that have come about since Sound Waters’ inception 20 years ago. Though she can’t say for sure what would become of the island if not for organizations like Beach

During a recent Monday afternoon class, Cedar Dennis proudly demonstrated how to make the shape of “grandpa’s pants” with the yarn while Kiah Adams-Giffin demonstrated the technique of making a teacup shape. They’ve also learned to make “fish knots” and slipknots using spools of yarn and ribbons. As class progressed, the students learned lessons in addition and multiplication and appeared to be having fun doing so. “There is a lot of math and a lot of science in fiber arts,” said Rosenberger. “This program is trying to tie all of that together.” Students in the older Sheep to Shawl class are involved in nearly every aspect of the process, except for the shearing. Rosenberger explained that her friend, a professional shearer and rugby player, travels to South Whidbey from Wales each year to shear a number of South

She explained that the professional shearer is employed because of her desire to ensure the animals are not harmed or cut, and that the students maintain a positive experience without being frightened. All of the fiber is harvested from animals on Whidbey
Island, including some of the commercially spun yarn. Research is a large part of the program for the elder students, who look into where the animals live presently and where in the world their respective breeds originated. In addition, students record the name of the animal whose fibers they are using and keep photos of the animal in their dye books.

Cary Peterson, garden coordinator at South Whidbey’s school farm and garden, helped students to plant dye plants in the class to use. The plants, including Dyer’s chamomile, French marigold and Dyer’s coreopsis, produced variations of yellow, orange and reddish orange, respectively. Students kept samples of pressed flowers in their dye journals along with samples of the pre-dyed wool as a reminder of their products’ origin. Rosenberger explained that some of the plants were

students on how to spin the fibers. Petersons is also growing Japanese indigo — a dye plant which creates rich blue hues — and will be giving the students a chance to use these dye plants next year. Two spinning wheels were donated, which will allow Petersons and Rosenberger to teach interested older students to use these as opposed to the drop spindles, which will be used by younger students. The youngest weavers will use hand-fashioned looms, which they will create themselves, and will be working with commercially spun yarn. Some of the dyed yarn is also commercially spun, Rosenberger said, because it would be unrealistic to expect students to be able to produce large volumes of spun yarn on their own with limited experience. “One of the things I think is wonderful about Sheep to Shawl and fiber arts in general is that everything is in cycles,” said Rosenberger. “You get to own the entire process of taking a raw material into a finished product.” This year’s class will be taking a trip to South Whidbey’s new fiber mill, Abundant Earth Fiber Mill in Clinton, where they will learn about washing, drying and prepping the wool. Last year, students took on this task in the classroom, which was quite a bit of work, according to Rosenberger. This year, Lydia Christiansen, owner of the mill, will be completing these tasks after educating the students about the process. “The idea is to make something cool and enjoy the process,” said Rosenberger.

used fresh while others were dried. Students were tasked with finding how to best extract the chemical dye compounds from the plants so that it would properly bond with the fiber. “What I’m doing is not so much teaching them the rules of chemistry or the rules of science, but getting them excited about figuring stuff out and thinking about how it is happening,” said Rosenberger. “Then our very gifted science teachers can teach them a little more in depth about the academic side of it.” The students also practiced a number of resist techniques — methods of manipulating the cloth so that dye only reaches specific parts — in the dying process in order to obtain different effects and patterns. After the older students completed their dye projects, they had the opportunity to sell their work at the Whidbey Weaver’s Guild Sale, where they sold about a third of their inventory and earned about $100. Rosenberger explained that mathematics are also added to the equation as students measure the volumes of dye and fibers and try to determine a suitable price for their goods at the sale as a part of the process. “Since these are mixed-age classes, we try to make sure we’re not overwhelming the younger kids or underwhelming the older kids,” said Rosenberger. She explained that the texts the fifth graders are using were originally penned for adults, meaning their research requires attentiveness and reading comprehension.

RABBITS
CLINTON
CONTINUED FROM A1
CONTINUED FROM A1
Other Langley folk, such as Fran Johnson, are fed up with losing their gardens and landscaping to the voracious herbivores. At her home, a recently landscaped slope in her backyard is pockmarked with holes dug by rabbits scrounging up young plants. Johnson pointed out several shrubs and trees, many of them well withered when they should be leafy or covered in needles, that she will have to replace. She estimated the damage to be around $300, nearly half of the cost to have the whole area landscaped last year. “I’m not going to plant anything,” Johnson said. “It’s a waste of money. They come in and eat everything right to the ground.” Out in her front yard, she points out a circle planter that is just beauty bark, dirt and a stone bird bath. Once it was filled with vegetation, even a corner for cabbage, which unsurprisingly did not survive a bunny’s appetite. “I had some stuff in there,” she said. “Now it’s gone.” Some residents expressed fears about coyotes preying on the rabbits in Langley, which would eventually move on to household pets. A request on The Record’s Facebook page for any stories of losing pets to coyotes or noticing an increase in coyotes was met with little comment other than request to leave the bunnies alone. Dave Marks, Langley’s police chief, said he has not responded to any calls about coyotes attacking pets. He did notice an anecdotal increase in sightings, saying he spotted one in December near the Langley fire station, even taking video of it. “They are pretty good size,” Marks said of his coyote sightings. “But I don’t know how you prove that they’re coming into town because of the rabbits or not. There have always been coyotes around.” “Cats do vanish quite a bit, but it’s hard to say if it’s raccoons or eagles,” he added. Rabbits became such a nuisance for one resident that he ended up shooting them with an air-powered gun. That led to a citation by the Langley Police Department and a criminal charge, Marks confirmed, because it violated the ban on discharging a firearm in city limits. Trapping and hunting rabbits is a more complicated series of rules. According to the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s website, “Living With Wildlife,” the best way to sort it out is to contact a local wildlife office for the most recent legal status and restrictions. Three species — Nuttall’s cottontail rabbit, Eastern cottontail rabbit and snowshoe hare — are classified as game and require a hunting license and an open season. Domestic rabbits, the kind most often spotted in Langley, are unclassified and may be trapped or killed year-round without a permit. Trapping device restrictions still apply. But just because it’s legal, doesn’t mean it will be popular, and that includes Langley police. “I’m not into killing animals for no reason,” Marks said.
designation but hopes to become a 501c3 nonprofit. It would include three elements: a café, a “green” grocer featuring locally-grown products, and an event space. Since Anchor Books and Coffee closed in 2013, the Clinton area is without a morning watering hole, council members said. “We thought the community aspect very important,” said Jack Lynch, president of the council. “Critical,” added member Sherryl Christie. Maury Hood, a member of the council and a Clinton Water District commissioner, questioned why the group would get into a business that may already be successful elsewhere, pointing out that several espresso stands dot Highway 525 in Clinton and appear to be doing well. As the de facto economic development group in Clinton — the chamber of commerce is largely inactive, according to a couple of members of the council — the proposed café would be run by another person or business. The Clinton Community Council and Whidbey Food Shed group would act

as go-betweens. “They’ll have to make it,” Flax said. “We’re just the liaison.” Flax, who runs the Clinton Thursday Market, said several Whidbey Island farmers are interested in having a store to sell some of their produce in addition to the roadside stands and seasonal farmers markets. In order to find fresh produce every month, the green grocer would use a five county area from which to stock its shelves. Making the road and sidewalks safer was also paramount to improving Clinton in the council’s plans. They discussed ways to slow traffic, such as a roundabout at the intersection of the highway and Deer Lake Road and the efficacy of the electronic speed radar signs placed both northbound near the ferry terminal and southbound near Lincoln Computers. Another problem area pointed out by the council was Ferry Dock Road. Dave Hoogerwerf, who is also a member of the Clinton Ferry Advisory Committee that reports to the Ferries Division of the Washington State Department of Transportation, said the narrowness of the street, lack of a dedicated walkway and overgrown vegetation are all problems. All of that is compounded, he said,
because people park there far longer than the pick-up/drop-off area’s marked 15-minute limit. Without a walkway, the area can become a bit slick walking from Ferry Dock Road down to the ferry terminal, where a crosswalk sees a fair amount of stormwater flow. “The problem is there’s not a lot of space there,” Lynch said. “Those things have to be addressed,” he added. “It’s not safe.” One of the simpler issues that appeared to be worked out was beautification of the commercial district along the highway. Putting up planters was proposed and evolved during the course of the 90-minute meeting. It started as getting old boats and filling them with flowers and plants, and turned into asking the businesses to decorate the old boats. Eventually, upon the suggestion of resident Dave Jones who attended his first council meeting, the Clinton Community Council settled on asking a builders association to donate the materials and create a single small boat-shape planter for businesses to decorate how they please. The final option gives a uniform look but allows each store to customize the planter to their desire.
