Gill, Callison to vie for Langley mayor By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
The 2015 election races are starting to take shape days ahead of the official Island County filing week, May 11-15. Two men plan to seek votes to become the next mayor of Langley, and a possible
third challenger is undecided. Thomas Gill, a Langley city councilman, and Tim Callison, a Langley resident, both confirmed they will seek the seat in the November general election. Mayor Fred McCarthy announced in April that he would not run for re-election after filling out a term vacated by Larry
Kwarsick, who resigned amid scandal in January 2013. Callison applied to be appointed to a vacated city council position previously held by Margot Jerome. He and wife Robin Black both applied for the position before the council ultimately voted in Black. “I won’t equivocate, I’m running for
mayor,” Callison said in a phone interview Thursday. “Barring any unforeseen thing I can’t think of, I’m going to run,” he added. There was a third challenger in that SEE ELECTION, A24

The campgrounds at South Whidbey State Park will be closed this year for safety reasons, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission announced Friday. The action addresses concerns posed by failing and diseased oldgrowth trees in the campground portion of the 347-acre park, according to a new release. “We are very sorry for any inconvenience to our customers who have camping reservations at the park, but we are concerned about their safety,” said Don Hoch, state parks director. “Being out in old forests always carries a degree of risk for outdoor users, but camping means people are spending extended periods under the trees, which potentially exposes them to greater danger. Our first priority is to keep our visitors safe.” The problem was discovered as park staff began preparing for the summer season. They came across several large Douglas fir trees in the campground that had snapped and fallen across campsites, the news release said. A tree assessment by a state forest pathologist found “advanced levels of heart rot in the stems of large old-growth trees.” “Many of the remaining old trees in the campground also were found to exhibit characteristics, suggesting that they also are infected with advanced levels of heart rot, a condition that can

Notable South Whidbey Girl Scout Troop 43514 will host fundraising event Saturday to assist Nepal earthquake victims A South Whidbey Girl Scout troop is hoping to help victims of the recent earthquake that laid waste to Nepal. Troop 43514 is working on a group project for
the bronze award, and decided the community project should be a car wash and bake/craft sale fundraiser. The troop set out a goal of raising $1,000
through the event scheduled for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 9 at the Les Schwab Tire Center in Clinton. “We want to help the Scouts in Nepal that are
working hard to help in their communities clean up and recover from this terrible disaster,” said troop leader Jenny Staats in an email to The Record. In the news release, the
Scouts noted that while they enjoyed their annual “Encamporee” retreat, the 22,000 Girl Scouts in Nepal experienced “the worst earthquake of their lives.”

State Farm awards $5,000 grant to Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County

State Farm Insurance awarded a $5,000 grant to the Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County (IDIPIC) for the fourth consecutive year, according to a recent press release. The grant will go towards covering the cost of materials used in IDIPIC’s work with middle school and driver’s education students. Besides DUI impact panels, IDIPIC offers comprehensive safety classes to educate youth about the dangers of underage
drinking, illicit drug use and driving under the influence. Classes range from elementary to high school and beyond. “Think, Don’t Drink, Drug and Drive” is the name of IDIPIC’s popular safety seminar which has been provided to driver’s education classes since 2002. Recently, South Whidbey High School teacher John LaVassar’s class attended this seminar. The seminar includes a video, discussion on indicators of impairment and
a simulation of walking the line with impairment goggles followed by a question and answer session and quiz. All Whidbey driving instructors require students to attend the IDIPIC panel, according to the release. Students must attend with a parent or guardian. Students who are not enrolled in a driver’s education school are also welcome to attend. The 5,000th student to attend was Kacie Hanson, a South Whidbey High
School sophomore. IDIPIC is a non-profit organization and was established in 2009. It is dedicated to deterring DUI driving and underage drinking through education and increased awareness. Since its inception, more than 30,000 have attended the DUI/underage drinking prevention panels which are held in Freeland, Oak Harbor, and at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

The driver turned to avoid the vehicles in front of her but began to slide and rolled into a shallow ditch. Wet roads may have contributed to the accident, Price said. The truck came to rest on its roof, and one or more motorists stopped to help the woman out of the stricken vehicle. The witnesses left the scene when emergency responders arrived.

During a semiannual presentation to the Langley City Council on May 4, Langley Main Street Association President Janet Ploof spoke of some of the group’s projects and accomplishments. In its third year, Langley Main Street Association continues to grow and thrive thanks to members, dedicated tax dollars and collaboration, she said. “Main Street has done exceptionally better because of our communication with planning, parks and the chamber,” Ploof said, referring to the two city departments and the business group. Main Street hopes to have a $90,000 budget, more than double in previous years, thanks to increased membership and B&O tax pledges. That money pays for a part-time
program director, part-time and summer interns. During the construction work on Second Street in early 2013, Main Street organized a Monsters on Machines day. Working with a local author who wrote a similarly-titled book, the construction crew opened up its heavy equipment for people to inspect and enter, even operating the horns. Commercial core sales jumped that day, according to Ploof. Much of the landscaping in the city’s commercial core is handled by and managed by Main Street. Hanging baskets around town are put up by the group, and the edible garden is tended to by its volunteers. Mayor Fred McCarthy said the city often receives compliments on its foliage.

A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE FROM THE “MAN CAVE”
After years of diligent service to the men of this South Whidbey community, it has become obvious that there is a certain silent element that keeps this barbershop thriving. YES, with seniors’ and boys’ cuts running $15, buzz cuts $10, we easily offer the best price in town. Between the two of us we have over 70 years of hair cutting experience. That’s even hard for me to believe! We have the only exclusively MEN’s barbershop around — featuring male barbers. A rare find these days.
However, on this auspicious occasion, we want to recognize the WOMEN. The wives and Mothers behind the scenes who make our wheels turn. From the “Man Cave” aka “Island Headquarters,” please accept this enormous THANK YOU! How many times I have heard, “The wife sez if I want dinner tonight, I’d better come home with a HAIRCUT”? Women are the driving force behind our success. They are the ones who voice appreciation for the quality we deliver, i.e, “Hey, the boss said that last cut was perfect!”
To be honest, these guys rarely look in the mirror. We’re lucky to get half of ‘em to take their hats off long enough to do the cut. Without the muchappreciated voice from home, we could be doing a thankless job. As a matter of fact, if it were not for you caring and attentive WOMEN, we might very well take up shearing sheep. So, for MOTHER’S DAY, we send you an enormous, heartfelt message of deep gratitude to all the women that keep us afloat. ~ Jeffrey Wood, author

Editor’s column
Waiting for candidates akin to Christmas eve By JUSTIN BURNETT
It’s Friday morning, the sun is shining and next week is filing week. That might not get a lot of motors running, but for political junkies and journalists it might as well be Christmas. And I gotta tell you this guy can’t wait to open his presents. There are a lot of seats up for grabs, which means this is shaping up to be a big election year for Whidbey Island. At the risk of ruining my self-imagined public image of professionalism, I admit next week and the months that follow can’t come soon enough. The people, the debates, the shockers and headlines; no self-respecting newsman — the honest ones anyway — can say they aren’t drooling just a little over the fun ahead. The hardest part is waiting, waiting to find out who is running and who isn’t. Most newspapers can’t, which is why they publish stories ahead of time, spoiling the juicy details before filing week actually begins (see page 1). While most people are upfront about their election plans, there are always a few who keep their intentions secret until the very last minute. Sometimes it’s because they haven’t made up their minds, and in other cases it’s because they want to see who is filing before they make a final, and public, decision. Rubbish. Waiting until the last minute, especially if it’s to better calculate the odds of a successful bid for office, may be clever political maneuvering but it’s cruel to salivating newspaper editors such as myself. If you’re going to run, run and quit teasing dogs with a bone. Someone should lobby the Legislature to create an announcement day, which would officially precede filing week. The results, however, would not be posted as candidates announce, but at the end of the day. That way, crafty political hopefuls couldn’t pick and choose which race to enter based on perceived odds — they’d actually have to be upfront about which position/office they really want — and it would eliminate those who are only running if their friends aren’t. Again, if you want to run, run. And tell everybody about it beforehand. If not a trial run in transparency, it’s at least a mercy to those who can’t wait to find who may or may not be Langley’s next mayor, city council member, school board director, parks commissioner or whatever.

Almost all of us strive in our various ways to leave the world a better place than we found it. Most of us take it for granted that our species will carry on after we are dust or ash or soil. Sometimes humans are disgusting and despicable, but most of us are idealistic and caring. Just as it took a while for us to (mostly) discard racism and the other 31 flavors of prejudice and evil error that’s corrupted so much of human history, it’s gradually impinging on our global consciousness that not only each of us as individuals, but all of us as a species are mortal.

Roundabout good for residents Editor, Your April 29 editor’s column, “A Rebirth for Clinton?” questions what purpose a roundabout in Clinton, or a traffic light on Highway 525, would serve, beyond slowing traffic and perhaps causing some of those car drivers shooting off the ferry to take a look around, maybe even stop. But then you ask, what’s left to stop for, alluding to the scarcity of retail shops and the current status of proposals to revitalize SEE LETTERS, A7

Clinton. The rebirth of Clinton may well take a while, but there is very good reason for a roundabout right now — to serve us, the residents of Clinton, as we walk the village on our various tasks: a stop at the library, a stop at the post office, perhaps a stop to buy milk and eggs at Clinton Food Mart or cash a check at the bank. You see the roundabout will serve the walking, running and biking residents a great deal; it will slow traffic and we can negotiate without anxiety crossing Highway 525. We might be wanting to walk to or from Cozy’s, or to or from either bank. Or simply we might want to stroll up to DQ for an ice cream cone some warm summer day, or even up the hill to Hong Kong Gardens. Enjoying the real services our village offers us — on whichever side of Highway 525 those businesses are located and from whichever side we live or are parked — means we must have a safe crossing where yes, traffic is indeed slowed and we can trust that the traffic will notice us. We residents know the retail services we have in the village of Clinton and we use what we have. A roundabout is essential for our community to walk across Highway 525 without fear of those rockets shooting off the ferry. Besides we will make that roundabout beautiful with flowers almost all year long because we will care about this. It will be our roundabout. Sincerely, ELISA MILLER Clinton
Crew made good on namesake event Editor, I just want to once again thank Hearts & Hammers for all of their help. They were terrific — Dave Love, Richard Epstein and the crack crew at South Whidbey Plumbing. They have big hearts and big hammers. Please volunteer to help others. MERLA HALBEISEN Langley
Proud to be part of helpful community Editor, On Saturday, May 2 I had the privilege of seeing the Hearts & Hammers group in action. As an American Red Cross volunteer I was involved in a project we have which is designed to place smoke detectors in as many homes as possible. As part of the project I visited 10 of the 30-plus Hearts & Hammers crews which were working on people’s homes that day on South Whidbey. I couldn’t have been more impressed with the level of professionalism and care the workers were giving the people who needed help. Everyone I came across was cheerful and happy in what they were doing.

These weren’t small projects like raising mail boxes, these were major home improvements. In at least three homes I saw complete floors being installed; at one a crew was installing thousands of dollars worth of laminated flooring. I saw roofs being repaired. I saw trained professionals giving their valuable time and labors to people in need. I have always felt that the true mark of a person is how they treat the people who can give nothing in return. The crews I met certainly passed that test, and they made me feel proud to be part of the South Whidbey community. KIRK LACEWELL Langley

Ideas should focus on harbor projects Editor, In the wake of the charrette, it is evident that Langley residents have little interest in supporting a funicular to ferry people from the
Page A7
harbor to town (page one story, May 2). By contrast, there seems to be much enthusiasm for the Port of South Whidbey’s future (and ambitious) plans to expand the marina. Perhaps now is an opportune time to consider what the city might do to create economic opportunities down at the harbor. Langley harbor used to be a significant boating destination, partly for the local fishing but mostly because it was a convenient fueling stop for those leaving Seattle and heading north to the San Juan’s. It is only in recent years that we have come to consider Langley’s merchants as the draw for tourists. Back in the day, Barney’s Marina tended to this boat traffic, offering fuel, tackle and boat repair/storage facilities. If the city wants to encourage boat-related economic activity (tourism, but also local boaters), it should work together with the port to help bring a fuel dock back to Langley. A fueling facility, combined with a small bait shop, snack shack and parts
store, would draw boaters to, and provide additional economic opportunities around, Langley’s harbor. This is not an easy fix. Floating fueling stations have become expensive, due to heightened environmental and regulatory requirements. Indeed, this is the reason why there are fewer fueling docks serving a growing fleet of boats. If the city and port could work together, however, they might overcome these challenges. After all, if Langley can afford something as whimsical as a funicular, we should be able to fund an important part of the local transportation infrastructure. Better yet: this sort of project would

Zisette scores twice to lift soccer squad in playoff By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Andy Zisette scored two goals to power South Whidbey boys soccer past Sultan 3-0 in the 1A District 1 tournament Wednesday. Despite previously rolling through the Turks, the Falcons struggled. South Whidbey’s formidable offense that had previously scored 25 unanswered goals against Sultan in Cascade Conference play this season was largely off the mark. “We were expecting to just walk in here and score like we’ve been playing against these guys. We didn’t and we overestimated ourselves,” said Falcon junior Lucas Leiberman, who scored the game’s first goal. “That’s just in the head. Getting in front of the goal, it’s nervewracking.” Leiberman opened the game with its first goal in the 17th minute on a cross from senior Jeff Meier. The ball bounced across the box past several players to Leiberman’s foot, who sent the ball rolling into the net. After the match, Leiberman took the opportunity to unveil a large banner with the help of teammates asking a girl to the school’s prom dance and also handing her a bouquet of roses. She said “yes.” “We’re used to scoring on this team and it was expected that we’d come in here and get it done,” Leiberman said, referring to the short, demure celebration after his goal. “I was happy but it wasn’t anything special.” As in most matches this

Afterward, he barely cracked a smile and later said it was an odd score for him. “I just took a little lefty ball and it bounced so slowly

Golf course opens up for armed forces
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
Much of the month of May will see a wave of golfers at Useless Bay Golf & Country Club on South Whidbey during its military appreciation weeks. For the past decade about 150 active duty military men and women annually tee off, completely free of charge. This year, the club’s golf committee opted to offer free golf during non-peak times from May 4 to May 22. Typically a members-only course, the pristine greens get non-member visitors from NAS Whidbey Island, Naval Station Everett and, new this year, Coast Guard members in the area. “It’s just our way, members of the Useless Bay Golf Club, to show our appreciation for their sacrifices,” said club committee member Tim See, himself a Vietnam War veteran. “You can spot them: the short haircuts,” See laughed. “They’re out there hacking away.” Military appreciation is the only time the course is ever played free of charge, said club Head Pro Brion Lubach, other than when South Whidbey High School hosts meets and tournaments.

Driving, chipping and putting their way along the 11th hole, chiefs Eric Rice, James Lawhon and Ray Hass were visiting the private club for
the first time. “I don’t get to golf very much, so this is a really great opportunity,” Rice said. “And it’s a really nice course.” In addition to golf, the armed forces visitors are treated to a free lunch or dinner at the clubhouse’s restaurant. Useless Bay’s golf committee advertises with the nearby military bases, but Lubach said the club is happy to host any active duty service men and women who make a tee time and show up with their
military identification. “If you’re active duty, bring it on,” he said. The club’s golf committee solicits the club members for donations to cover the greens fees and meal costs, just as they do for their student scholarship contributions.
The work and a little club member patience is worth it, See said. “What’s really nice is when we see the military folks come out; they’re so appreciative,” he said.
Swing away, sailors Useless Bay Golf & Country Club has opened its course and clubhouse to all active duty members of United States armed forces. The offer through May 22 includes a free lunch or dinner at the club house and 18 holes on the typically member-only course. To set a tee time, call the golf shop at 360-3215958. Valid identification is required.

Orchestra unites community with music By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record
For Tigran Arakelyan, music was the best medicine. As a child growing up in Armenia, Arakelyan suffered a severe bout of bronchitis which rendered him unable to sleep or breathe adequately. After trips to specialists in Ukraine and Russia, Arakelyan’s parents brought him back to Armenia, where a doctor suggested strengthening the lungs through use of a musical instrument such as a trumpet or flute. It was then that Arakelyan’s healing process, and his future career as a flutist, began. “It’s weird and not very medical but it somehow worked,” Arakelyan said. “Not to say that the other stuff I did in different countries for my health didn’t, but music was a part of it.” Prior to its medicinal use, music had already been an integral part of Arakelyan’s life. His father played cello while his mother played a kanon, a traditional Armenian stringed instrument. Upon immigrating to the United States at age 11, Arakelyan continued with his craft and played as a part of the Pasadena Community Orchestra at age 15. Today, he is in his second year as musical director of Whidbey Island Community Orchestra. The orchestra was established in 2007 and is composed of members ranging in ages as they do in skill level. Some are beginners while others have decades of experience. The youngest members are still in high school while several of their elders are retirees. But regardless of age or background, all of the musicians share a com-

Arakelyan said that he appreciates the fact that, though most orchestra members have occupations unrelated to music, they consistently dedicate time to their passion. Music is “all I do,” Arakelyan said, adding that he wishes, at times, that he had an additional, unrelated craft as the orchestra members do. Conducting a community orchestra with such an array of skill sets, he said, is both challenging and enjoyable. Though some members have come and gone, Arakelyan has observed several of his musicians progress and bond over the past two years. He has also ensured that

the orchestra plays modern selections in addition to classic pieces. Last year, the orchestra held the Young Composer Competition. The winner, Jon Brenner, had his piece performed by the musicians. Though Arakelyan noted the importance of continuing to play the works of revered composers such as Strauss, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Johannes Brahms and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the incorporation of new pieces is as beneficial for musicians as it is for budding composers. Musicians will get the opportunity to play something fresh, divergent from the standard classical canon. He also ensures community orchestra members have

Ferry-Brennan as a solo violinist. In addition to the Whidbey Island Community Orchestra, Arakelyan is musical director for the Federal Way Youth Orchestra and the University of Washington Campus Philharmonia. He is also the assistant conductor of the Whatcom Symphony Orchestra. He received the Armenian General Benevolent Union Performing Arts Fellowship for two consecutive years and is a doctoral student at the University of Washington. “Musicians willing to play in public are a sector of the population, and conductors are a very thin slice of those,” wrote Jim Lux,
president of the board of directors of Whidbey Island Community Orchestra, in an email to The Record. “And of all the people at University of Washington, Tigran is one of very few functioning at the conductorial level he is.” The Whidbey Island Community Orchestra will perform at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 10 at Trinity Lutheran Church and at 7 p.m. Friday, May 15 at Coupeville High School Performing Arts Center. The performances will include works by Strauss, Sibelius, Queen and The Beatles as well as music from the television series “Downton Abbey.” Guest cellist James Hinkley will perform a solo piece.

PROTEST CONTINUED FROM A1
“We need smaller class sizes. We need to stop toxic testing. We need decent health care,” said Val Brown, spokesperson for the South Whidbey Education Association, to the protesters. Speakers touched on
subjects such as large class sizes, lack of cost of living adjustments for teachers, low wages, lack of funds for educational materials, the problem with standardized testing and the hours of unpaid work educators put in yearly. Reganne Brown, a junior at South Whidbey High School and the school board’s student representative, gave a
speech illustrating a student’s perspective on issues like the controversial Common Core State Standards test and large class sizes. Many educators nationwide have expressed opinions that the test sets unreasonable expectations for students, essentially setting them up for failure. “This test was the most ridiculous test I’ve ever taken in my life,” Brown said of Common Core. Although math isn’t her strong suit, Brown said, she consistently manages to earn “A”s and “B”s in class. The Common Core test, however, threw Brown and fellow students off their usually academically adept game with material such as precalculus, a subject not taught in standard junior-level math curriculum. It wasn’t “common core” at all, Brown said. She added that the test took up three days of classes as well as several hours of study time.

The protestors picketed at the corners of Maxwelton following the rally at Castle Park. Brown emphasized that South Whidbey School
District teachers have had a positive impact, preparing
ber nurses included in the hospital’s “internal investigation of allegations against Chief Nursing Officer, Linda Gipson, stemming from her interactions with a patient.” Gipson was acquitted last month of assaulting a mentally ill patient last May. Several nurses who were in the room at the time testified against Gipson. The WSNA claims that it attempted to obtain the investigation-related documents since November, but the hospital, “to date, has not produced the documents.” A Thursday meeting between the Whidbey News Group publisher and editorial staff with the hospital’s new CEO, Geri Forbes, was
canceled via email early Thursday. Another meeting date had not been scheduled at press time, though the hospital staff expressed their intention to schedule another meeting date in May. Patricia Duff, the hospital’s interim public relations liaison, emailed a statement to the newspaper Thursday about the WSNA complaint. “The hospital has a wellestablished history of honoring our nurses and we strive to maintain positive and mutually respectful relationships with all members of our staff,” the email stated. “It is not uncommon for these sorts of complaints to be lodged during contract negotiations in any industry

her for post-graduate life “emotionally, socially and scholastically.” “This program will turn our teachers into robots,” she concluded. Rachel Kizer, a fourthgrade teacher at South Whidbey Elementary, spoke of the lack of appreciation and understanding legislators have for educators’ work. “The Legislature doesn’t know there is no test in the world that can possibly measure your lifetimes of learning and what you all bring to the classroom every day,” Kizer said to the crowd. “We are here to stand up for what’s good about education, to stand up for the kids we cherish like our own and we are here today to stand up for you,” Kizer said. “You, the educators who are a most unique and precious resource in a child’s education. Not a textbook, not a classroom, not a computer, but you.”
and the appropriate individuals will address allegations in a timely and thoughtful manner.” The hospital’s chief quality officer, Teresa Fulton, who gave testimony during Gipson’s trial that conflicted with testimony given by the hospital’s former CEO, Tom Tomasino, has since resigned. The nurses’ complaint also states that Whidbey General Hospital administrators failed to hand over documents concerning the “termination of (nurse) Terrie Owens.” The WSNA alleges that it requested in October that the hospital “explain the evidence that supported the termination of union member Terrie Owens.” The complaint claims that the hospital responded that it “had relied on Ms. Owens’ ‘Patient Charts’ and two ‘Patient Safety Net Reports.’ ” The hospital apparently provided some documents in November, but the WSNA claims that those were illegible and “did not include a significant portion of the medical records.” In an email last week, however, Duff said that Owens “is currently an employee of the hospital.” The nurses association is asking PERC to find that “the hospital violated its duty to bargain in good faith” and require the hospital to “cease and desist from violating” the collective bargaining laws. WSNA’s negotiations with the hospital are scheduled to resume May 4-5, according to the association’s website.

council appointment: Sharon Emerson. She has been a persistent presence at city council meetings and other big-issue gatherings at City Hall, but may be best known for her consistent criticism of the funicular between Wharf Street and Cascade Avenue. In an email to The Record, she said she was still undecided if she would run for either city council or mayor
in Langley. Black and Councilman Bruce Allen both said they will seek re-election this fall. Gill sought elected office in Langley prior to winning the city council position unopposed in the November 2013 election. He said via email that he plans on running for mayor. One of the city council positions will be up for challengers. Jim Sundberg, who has served since 2012, will not seek re-election. Retired from his career, Sundberg said stepping away from public office meant he’d finally be able to enjoy all of those free-time benefits while allowing someone else to take the reins. “The city’s in good shape and there’s lots of talent in the city, so there’s room for continuing the advances we’ve made to date,” Sundberg said. “It’s been an excellent council to work with,” he added. Three of the four South Whidbey School District director positions up for election will have the incumbent run. Linda Racicot and

Longtime commissioner Stan Walker said that he’s ready to step down after 14 years on the board. “It’s time for other people to take care of that,” Walker said. Also on the Holmes Harbor board, Bob Miller said he plans to run again after recently being reelected to the Washington Association of Sewer and Water Districts board of commissioners for another three years. “I’m staying involved,” he said. At least one of the two parks commissioners’ positions up for a vote this fall will see someone new next year. Joel Gerlach, who was elected in 2012, said he did was not running again, citing his business as a contractor for pulling him away from South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District board duties. Don Wood, whose position is also up for election, did not return requests for comment by press time Friday.

“The campground was opened in the early 1960s amid the mature and old-growth trees, which gave campers a wonderful wooded and secluded experience,” said Sue Ellen White, vice president of Save the Trees. “But the interaction of these old trees with human activity over the past half-century may not have been the best for the forest and some of the big trees are failing.

for campers.” The closure will likely have an economic effect on South Whidbey but it may also open opportunities for education and dayuse activities at the park, according to organization leaders. Calyx School is currently at the park and offers an outdoor learning curriculum for elementary students. Attempts to reach state parks officials for additional comment were unsuccessful Friday before press time. Campers with reservations for the 2015 season are urged to telephone the state parks camping reservation center at 1-888-CAMPOUT (1-888226-7688) for assistance in transferring reservations to a campsite in another park or to receive a full refund for cancellation. The park remains open for day use. Director Hoch said State Parks will begin a site-planning process late this summer or early fall to determine the future of the campground portion of the park, according to the news release.
