Langley mayor pardons city’s bunnies despite citizen complaintsBy 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.

Fiber arts program weaves new skills into studentsBy KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

Sheep may not be masters of arith-metic, and goats may not be adept business strategists. But students at South Whidbey Academy are learn-ing 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 dis-ciplines.

The South Whidbey Schools Foundation donated $1,500 to this year’s program. This year, the pro-gram 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 class-es 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 inter-section of lots of different content or academic learnings, and kids get

to do this, something that is hands-on and of high interest to them,” said David Pfeiffer, South Whidbey Academy principal. “It’s a great way to engage the kids.”

The kindergarten through second graders, who have thus far learned the process of knots, string games and finger knitting, fashioned ribbon bookmarks to give to loved ones for

Clinton council pins hopes on Food Shed planBy 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 dur-ing 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 vital-ity 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 most-ly 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 long-term renters who want to use the space for their cater-ing business and also pos-sibly 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 pro-posed last year by members of the Clinton Community Council, which is still work-ing on its official corporation

Whidbey Island Winery in Langley won the double platinum award for its 2012 Dolcetto at the Seattle Wine Awards. The double platinum is the “best of the best” of all wines present. The event was hosted by Wine Press Northwest, accord-ing to a recent press release.

All medal winners are awarded a “best buy,” platinum or double platinum in this competition. All gold medal winners from Washington are invited to be judged again in what could be called a “crème de la crème event,” according to the release.

The winery will host “Vintage Wines and Valentines” from 11-6 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday Feb. 14-16 at 5237 Langley Road. Wines featured at the event will be discounted by 20 percent for the weekend.

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 mas-cot Blitz at a celebration last month in Seattle. The celebration was a rec-ognition of the successful efforts to decrease labor inductions and cesare-an sections at the hospital, according to the release.

In order to achieve this decrease, Whidbey General Hospital partici-pated in the Leading Edge Advance Practice Topic project, a collabora-tive effort between selected hos-pitals, 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 suc-cess story was also featured on NPR and the team was invited to participate in a film by Washington State Hospital Association to encour-age other Washington hospitals in improving their obstetrical care pro-grams, according to the press release.

Leading Edge Advance Practice Topic is a program that seeks to gen-erate measurable improvements in 12 emerging areas of healthcare within one year. Statewide, Leading Edge Advance Practice Topic supports numerous initiatives with achieve-ments including reductions in infec-tions, mortality and employee injury, according to the news release.

Skagit County leaders are looking at separating or revis-ing the regional transporta-tion agreement with Island County.

In a series of recent meet-ings, elected officials from both areas discussed the future of the Skagit-Island Regional Transportation Planning Organization (SIRTPO), and another meet-ing will be held Jan. 28 to explore options. While there’s an “overwhelming sense” that Skagit leaders want to make transportation deci-sions on a county level, Island County leaders said they believe there are advantages to keeping the regional agree-ment in place.

“I’m a big proponent of the different regions and organi-zations 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 organi-zation is outdated, contains redundancies and needs to be revised or eliminated.

“We do need to update it, at a minimum,” said Kevin Murphy, executive direc-tor of the Skagit Council of Governments. “(The SIRTPO) needs to be modi-fied. They want to continue to plan together, but the for-mat of how that’s done may change.”

Murphy said Skagit’s con-versation started last summer after a series of law chang-es and the establishment of a Metropolitan Planning

Organization. The additional transportation planning board is not currently recog-nized within the scope of the SIRTPO.

To add to this redundancy, a sub-RTPO board exists in both counties, creating a sys-tem where construction proj-ects are approved both on a county level and a regional level, Murphy said.

“There’s three govern-ing 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 com-missioners are in favor of retaining their connection with Skagit, but are open to changes to SIRTPO opera-tions.

“Updating methodologies, that seems easy enough to do,” Hannold said.

In addition to the SIRTPO, Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said the two coun-ties share more than just

transportation, such as the commercial and employ-ment interests as well as agencies like the Northwest Agricultural Business Center.

“It’s those relationships that may not be project relat-ed,” 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 connec-tion 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 addi-tional residents to become eli-gible 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 sit-ting on the wall.”

Lisa Janicki, a newly-elect-ed Skagit County commis-sioner, said she’s heard anec-dotally that SIRTPO board members from Skagit often “don’t know enough about an Oak Harbor-based project to make an intelligent decision”

and vice versa.Todd Carlson, the

region’s planning and operations manager for Washington Department of Transportation, said the SIRTPO can be restructured to address both local and regional concerns.

“In my own view, 90 per-

cent of things that happen are not that interrelated,” Carlson said. “It’s about planning, it’s about working on things that have regional significance.”

The Island County Sub-RTPO will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, in the Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville.

Special ed, trips up for board OK

The South Whidbey School District Board of Directors will meet tonight to discuss such matters as the approval of upcoming student trips, the adoption of a revised policy regarding Special Education and related ser-vices and an overview of financial reports.

The regular business meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, at the South Whidbey Elementary School com-munity room.

Upcoming student trips to be approved include the annual South Whidbey High School jazz band’s trip to the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in Moscow, Idaho and the South Whidbey High School elective sum-mer trip to France and

Switzerland.The board will dis-

cuss the revision of the policy regarding Special Education and related services. Revisions include changes in the language of the policy including the addition of references to board policies 3247, 2410 and 2163 regarding the required notification of isolation or restraint of students with individual education plans (Section 504 plans), high school graduation requirements and response to interven-tion, respectively. The revision also includes a statement that the special education procedures and policy will be available for public view.

Assistant Superintendent of Business Dan Poolman will give his regular finan-cial report which will include an overview of enrollment and discussion of the district’s finances as of Dec. 31, 2014.

Beware jury duty 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 offi-cers or representatives of a court will not ask for payments over the phone or request other sensi-tive information, such as a Social Security number, Brown wrote.

Anyone who receives such a call is urged to con-tact the sheriff’s office at

678-4422 and report the incident.

Bridge to close for summer paving

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 communi-cations office.

“We’ll have signs posted,” Pearce said. “We’ll use sev-eral 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 non-bridge road paving por-tions 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 con-struction will be happening at the height of tourist sea-son, 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 height-ened tourist activity, Francis said the partial closures will feel like a full closure because traffic will back up significantly.

Hearing set for housing program

Public input will be col-lected on a block grant application that would help Island County devel-op a housing assistance program.

The public hearing was set by the board for 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 3, in the Island County Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville.

After public com-ment, commissioners will have the option to authorize the submis-sion of an application to the Washington State Department of Commerce to request $24,000 in

Community Development Block Grant funds to plan and coordinate develop-ment of a coordinated entry program and hous-ing resource center.

The aim of the pro-gram is to “minimize displacement” as well as “assist persons actually displaced” in coordination with other Block Grant-funded programs, accord-ing to county documents.

Protecting existing busi-nesses 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 sea-sonal 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 “every-body 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.

“From their standpoint, I understand why they’re try-ing 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 dur-ing summer, he said. He also suggested that allowing food

trucks during the weekends of every month could be ben-eficial. 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 full-time business.”

Councilman Bruce Allen

also asked to include an exclusion from the identi-fied food truck zones during Choochokam Arts Festival, of which he is a board mem-ber.

Only one city council member questioned the fairness of issuing licenses to food trucks but restrict-ing their months of opera-tion. Councilman Thomas

Gill, who said some of his friends run food trucks in Portland, Oregon, said he was concerned with includ-ing 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 com-pensated 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 busi-ness 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-

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 permis-sion 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 ordi-nance.

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 pro-vide piano accompani-ment.

Ferry-Brennan, now 18 years old, began play-ing the violin at age four. She is currently study-ing 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 per-formed 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 [email protected] or purchased at Moonraker Books in Langley or Habitat for Humanity in Freeland.

Tickets cost $15 for gen-eral 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. The musical will be performed on April 10, 11, 17 and 18.

Response Employee park-ing is a problemEditor,

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 resi-dent 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 sci-ence.

I will write again in a couple of years when this problem is being studied again in a multi-million dol-lar study.

WILLIAM COUCHClinton

Ferries article missed numbersEditor,

Your Jan. 14 edi-tion of The Record mis-quoted Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson in a ferries arti-cle. 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 fer-ries 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 per-cent 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 pro-posing to freeze fares for the next two years. Better yet, how about a fare reduction for Mukilteo-Clinton? Reasonable fares are important to the vitality of Whidbey Island.

The article also noted that ferries have been reli-

Langley’s rabbit woes deserve redressing

Editor’s column

“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 multiply-

ing exponentially, these furry men-aces 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, garden-wrecking, mobile traffic hazards are obviously a threat, hav-ing 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 des-tined 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 excur-sions 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 homeown-ers 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.

able 99.5 percent of the time. That overall rating is great but it doesn’t reflect the situation on the Coupeville to Port Townsend route. This run experienced its worst performance in 15 years with 444 cancellations (excluding 2007 when the steel-electric boats were suddenly pulled from ser-vice). Weather and tides account for 363 of these cancellations. Safety con-cerns are preeminent on this run. The crews, mas-ters, and port captain are to be congratulated for their safety record.

There are efforts under-way to identify anything that can help improve per-formance on the Coupeville run. This route has the highest ratio of commercial traffic and is a vital link

to our island heath. Lynne Griffith, the new ferries chief, brings with her some confidence that there will be performance improve-ments throughout the sys-tem.

City minutes need improvementEditor,

Langley fails to accurate-ly report the proceedings of their council meetings and fails to properly save docu-ments. At the Dec. 19 coun-cil meeting, I used a report submitted by the Langley Parks Commission to make my point. The Record noted that this advisory board pre-sented a significant report to the council. The minutes did not provide the commis-sion’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 ref-erenced in the minutes and available to the public.

At the Dec. 1 council meeting, after much discus-sion, the mayor agreed to retract an erroneous state-ment in the budget. The newspaper reported the discussion and the mayor’s statement. When the min-utes 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 infor-mation 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 min-utes have not always been available for review by the public prior to approval. Agendas are not made avail-able in a timely manner, and sometimes not at all. Although the city’s website has a sign-up for email noti-fications, none are sent for meeting agendas or min-utes. The announcement for the Langley Lift hearing was made in the newspa-per 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

job of being open and trans-parent to the people that it represents. The residents of Langley are not getting the information they need and are entitled to by law.

Smoking ills are a society-wide issueEditor,

Smoking: While I agree with you that raising the legal age for smoking ciga-rettes is unlikely to be effective, the implication of your editorial is that it’s no one’s business but the adult smoker’s.

In fact, it is every tax-payer’s business, since we are the ones who pay in the long run for those who choose to smoke. We pay billions directly in medi-cal expenses picked up by Medicaid and Medicare costs for heart disease, lung

cancer, and other smoking-related respiratory illness-es. We also pay indirectly in lost productivity – that means less tax revenue locally, state-wide, and fed-erally.

Education is a wonderful thing, but kids think it can’t happen to them. What they do notice is the price of a pack of cigarettes. Making poison more expensive and using the extra revenue to pay for its effects has more impact.

Have a Strong Back?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 fi nancing, 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!

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM A6

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 second-highest total is 52.

Through the first half, the Falcons took a 32-14 lead that they extended to 22 points by the third quar-ter 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, how-ever, 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 defend-ers, passed to freshman Mackenzie Collins for

a layup and a foul shot, which she made.

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, work-ing from sideline to side-line until someone found themselves open near the basket — often Hodson.

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.

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 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-high-est 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 confer-ence, 5-10 overall).

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 feder-al grant awarded this month.

The property has been a high priority for the Whidbey Camano Land Trust which has long wanted to pro-tect 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 land-slides, 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 natu-ral ecosystems that can help keep the bluff as stable as possible, Powell said. A coun-ty road, now used as a walk-ing and biking trail, will be retained for that purpose.

The property is not pur-chased yet but the deal should be complete some-time this summer, according to Powell.

Other project highlights include noxious weed remov-al and interpretive signs out-lining shoreline process and its history as the historic Waterman Mill.

Debra Waterman, one of the landowners, recalled that “wood chips from our fam-ily’s sawmill in Langley were trucked to the property and

funneled down the bluffs to barges” that took the chips to the mainland, according to the news release.

“No longer in operation, the property now provides rich habitat for wildlife and a place for public enjoyment,” the news release said.

Danielle Rideout, land

protection specialist, said the property has earned a good bit of national attention as one of only 25 properties to receive the highly-competi-tive grant nationally.

“It’s one of the top coast-al 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 cre-osote-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 generos-ity 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, includ-ing 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.

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

Whidbey Island’s eco-system 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 confer-ence 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, salm-on, crabbing, fishing, garden-ing, renewable energy, shore-line 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 instal-lation 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-support-ing properties.

Presentations include a screening of “Return of the River,” a film illustrating an element of hope amidst “grim” recent news regard-ing 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, public-ity 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-

teer group responsible for hosting the Sound Waters conference.

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 presenta-tion, Olson recalled that a fellow Beach Watchers mem-ber 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 coor-dination with the Washington State University Island County Extension Program.

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 orga-nization’s website. Volunteer work includes collecting data on intertidal flora and fauna, juvenile salmon, forage fish, pigeon guillemots, water qual-ity 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 clean-ing 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 environ-mental 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

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 sustain-able gardening to govern-ment 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 con-cerns for Beach Watchers and others.

Things can be fairly com-plex, 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.”

Josette Hendrix, founder of the Northwest Language Academy, helps ring in the new year during a Buddhist ceremony last year.

the holidays. During a recent Monday

afternoon class, Cedar Dennis proudly demonstrat-ed 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 slip-knots 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 pro-gram 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 shear-ing. 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

Whidbey’s resident animals, including those whose fiber will be used by the students.

She explained that the pro-fessional 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 stu-dents, 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, gar-den 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 core-opsis, 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

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 stu-dents 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 underwhelm-ing the older kids,” said Rosenberger. She explained that the texts the fifth grad-ers are using were originally penned for adults, meaning their research requires atten-tiveness and reading compre-hension.

Molly Petersons, a South Whidbey fiber artist, is help-ing Rosenberger instruct

students on how to spin the fibers. Petersons is also grow-ing 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 stu-dents to use these as opposed to the drop spindles, which will be used by younger stu-dents. The youngest weav-ers will use hand-fashioned looms, which they will create themselves, and will be work-ing 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 gen-eral is that everything is in cycles,” said Rosenberger. “You get to own the entire process of taking a raw mate-rial into a finished product.”

This year’s class will be tak-ing a trip to South Whidbey’s new fiber mill, Abundant Earth Fiber Mill in Clinton, where they will learn about washing, drying and prep-ping the wool. Last year, stu-dents took on this task in the classroom, which was quite a bit of work, accord-ing to Rosenberger. This year, Lydia Christiansen, owner of the mill, will be completing these tasks after educating the students about the pro-cess.

“The idea is to make some-thing cool and enjoy the pro-cess,” said Rosenberger.

FIBERCONTINUED FROM A1

Kate Daniel / The Record

South Whidbey Academy teacher Jean Cravy assists a group of students during a recent Fiber Arts class.

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 rac-coons 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 popu-lar, 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 fea-turing locally-grown products, and an event space.

Since Anchor Books and Coffee closed in 2013, the Clinton area is with-out 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 develop-ment group in Clinton — the cham-ber 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 lon-ger 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 storm-water 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 beau-tification 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 fill-ing 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.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
