Owen Rae helps his father, Ian Rae, and Ted Brookes trim a 10-foot tall holly bush at South Whidbey State Park. The boy will be joined on Dec. 7 by other students at Calyx Community Arts School, which is located in the state park.
Everything you need to create a holiday swag and wreath will be waiting at South Whidbey State Park this month, including the ever-present holly. English holly, a vestige of an old industry on Whidbey Island and a decorative staple during Christmas, has taken root in the old state park in Freeland. The nonnative species can be seen almost anywhere in the park — near campsites, along the trails, on the shoreline bluff. Volunteers and members of the Friends of South Whidbey State Park hope to change that with a first-ever Holly Day, a work party to clear the prickly, waxy plant from the area. “The longer we let it go without doing anything, it will start to spread and cover native species areas,” said Park Ranger Kevin Lease. By late November, more than 30 plants were marked with bright pink ribbon tags. Volunteers planned to mark as many as they could find within eyesight of the park’s SEE HOLLY, A24
Land preservation fund saved By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record The Island County commissioners voted unanimously in favor of continuing the Conservation Futures program Monday after hundreds of residents contacted them in support over the last week. More than 100 people attended the Monday meeting, giving nearly two hours of public comment. All but a few speakers favored the continuation of the conservation futures levy. Many said they’d like to see an increase to the tax, which costs property owners roughly $35 per year and is expected to bring in $679,814 in 2014. “It’s interesting that we have a packed house,” said Al Williams during the public hearing. “There’s bigger value in life than a dollar sign.” “I believe it is exceptionally important to my genera-
tion,” said teenager Rocco Strain. “As the voice of the future, I believe in continually protecting and maintaining the resources we have.” The board had initially intended to consider placing the program on hold for one year, and reducing the levied amount from $679,814 — the amount collected this year — to $439,238. “It’s seems like if you cut a program it’s because it’s not popular or it’s not efficient,” said Dean Enell, who said he has served on citizens advisory boards for the futures fund. “This runs better than any government effort I’ve ever seen.” Commissioner Kelly Emerson proposed an amendment to the ordinance, outlining the county’s priorities for the futures fund. The board agreed that purchasing SEE FUND, A9

Security increased at outlying Field By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record More than 1,000 large cement blocks connected by thick cable are being installed around the perimeter of the Navy’s Outlying Field Coupeville. The blocks are stamped with the words, “Government property, do not trespass.” They are a security measure to ensure unauthorized vehicles do
not drive onto the field, according to Tony Popp, community relations director for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Popp said the Navy has not changed its security posture at OLF and has intended to install the blocks at the outlying field for some time. Popp said that the Navy does not intend to build any kind of fence on top of the blocks.
The Navy still intends to resume touch-and-go operations at OLF after the end of the calendar year, Popp said. The added security at OLF Coupeville comes in the wake of months of controversy about noise from landing practices at the airfield. A Coupeville-based citizens group filed a federal lawsuit against the Navy in July, asking a judge
Page A3
to compel the Navy to conduct an Environmental Impact Statement or EIS. The group alleges that the Navy’s new EA-18G Growlers are louder than previous aircraft and that the Navy is performing more operations at OLF than they estimated in 2005. Members of the group, including Maryon Attwood and Paula Spina, speculated during a recent meeting that the cement blocks are being installed as added security as a result of their criticism of the jet noise and the Navy’s intention to resume operations in January.
When told that the Navy’s position is that this has been a project in the works for some time, Spina replied, “Do you believe that?” Attwood concurred. She said she believes the timing of the block placement seems suspect. The Navy announced its intention to conduct the EIS shortly after the lawsuit was filed, saying that plans for the study have been in the works for some time. Public comment meetings about the impact of the Growlers and other aircraft on Whidbey are scheduled for Dec. 3-5.
On South Whidbey, buy a different kind of holiday gift: giving By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record For people looking to spend holiday money on a donation, fair trade beads or a book which will use its sales to help build preschools in South Africa, South Whidbey has two options this winter. Global giving will come to two South End churches this month, the first of which is Sunday, Dec. 1, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island. The Freeland congregation’s African market will feature items from South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Next week, a similar market will take over part of the Langley United Methodist Church. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8, people can peruse Fellowship Hall for a plethora of presents. “This is the time that lots of us in the U.S. are looking for gifts,” said the Rev. Dennis Reynolds, pastor of the Whidbey Unitarian congregation. “These are alternative gifts.” The two events, though separated by both distance and time, are related in their aim to shift holiday consumerism into a useful expense.

FREELAND Two-car crash snarls highway A two-car collision shut down a section of Highway 525 in Freeland this week. The crash occurred at about 1:50 p.m. Monday, Nov. 25, at the intersection of Freeland Avenue and the state route, in front of the Texaco gas station. According to Trooper Norm Larsen with the Washington State Patrol, Theodora Wells, 87, was entering the intersection in a 1997 Toyota Camry from Freeland Avenue when
her vehicle collided with a 2007 Chrysler Aspen driven by Barbara Higbee-Price. Wells was trying to get to a coffee shop on the other side of the highway and was turning left at the time of the collision. Larsen later reviewed security footage from a nearby business and said a large van may have hindered her view of oncoming traffic. Wells told the officer she remembers no such vehicle. “Something happened and she pulled out in front of another car,” Larsen said. Higbee-Price’s vehicle was flipped onto its passenger side and came to rest in the northbound

Parks approves $1 million budget By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Parks revenue is pegged to rise, not by much, in 2014. One of the final meetings for the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District in 2013 saw three of the five commissioners approve a 1 percent levy increase with a 3-0 vote. Next year, South Whidbey Parks will work with $990,885 in total revenue and hope to end 2014 with nearly $367,934 left in the maintenance and operations, capital, reserve, project and bond funds. Parks Director Doug Coutts said the 1 percent levy increase, allowed under Washington state law, boosted revenue by an additional $8,400. Property taxes will bring in nearly $594,000 for maintenance and operations in the parks district. Expenses are estimated to total a little more than $1 million, which is more than last year because of a 1.1 percent cost-ofliving increase and a 3 percent merit raise. Partially restoring the maintenance and facilities budget — cut $19,000 last year — by nearly $11,000 was also a contributor. “We’re maintaining what we currently have,” Coutts said, echoing the district’s operations mantra of the past few years.
The program budget is also projected to rise. It will include additional classes and the return of the Chum Run 5K race. Program Director Carrie Monforte said the annual race went on hiatus this year because the volunteer race director was tending to family issues. One of the notable decreases in programming will be basketball, which was reduced by $5,000 after low attendance this year was projected to continue in the future. Monforte is working on standardizing the program’s contractors for a higher revenue split, which could help the district recover its expenses for programs. She proposed a more uniform split of 80 percent for the contractor — including classes like the K9 Nosework and summer aquatics/swimming lessons - and 20 percent for Parks. “The programming really takes care of itself,” Coutts said. The parks district has a history of having more than $180,000 as an ending cash balance for the past two years. According to the final budget summary, South Whidbey Parks expects to carry over more than $240,000 at the end of 2014, thanks to a $92, 967 transfer from the reserve. Parks commissioners approved the budget, which was sent to Island County for approval.

Providing Outstanding Service and Excellent Results
Port aims to finish work on Langley dock By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Hoping to clear up confusion surrounding the most recent problem with the marina expansion project, Port of South Whidbey elected officials met with staff in a special meeting this week. The Nov. 25 meeting followed recent communications concerning problems with underwater cables that secure the new dock in place. Commissioners agreed the contractors should finish the work on the breakwater and gangway before making further decisions, but the board took no formal action. “We simply need them to finish the work that
they’ve been paid to do,” Commissioner Curt Gordon said. The contractor, Mike Carlson Enterprises, was hired and is responsible for completing the breakwater and gangway, Gordon said. “When they get that done we’ll take the next steps,” he said. During the regular meeting earlier this month, Port Operations Manager Ed Field reported to the board issues with the underwater cables of the dock. As the tides rise and fall, the dock was not lining up with the gangway. Gordon said the contractors have a very clear design for the rigging and there’s reason to believe
the rigging is not finished. Evidence from the position of the breakwater and previous dives show that they have not yet completed the rigging, he said. “They have a responsibility to take care of this without direction from us,” he said. “Any direction we give them can be misconstrued as a release from some other requirement.” A diver was sent down to check out the problem on Saturday with plans to complete the work midweek. The cables follow a series of problems with the expansion project both offshore and onshore, such as the discovery of buried logs and contaminated soil at the parking lot, and a barge par-
tially sinking. “This sends a message that we need to tidy up details,” Gordon said. “We’re not going to entertain any changes in the contract, or pay more on the existing contract until they finished the work that they’ve been paid to do.”

In our opinion Conservation Futures Fund is worth saving Under weighty public pressure, the Island County Commissioners this week voted unanimously not to temporarily hamstring a special pot of money used for land preservation. This was a good decision and the commissioners should be congratulated for their willingness to put aside differing philosophies concerning growth and development to reach a compromise. The board also demonstrated that it does listen to the pleas of constituents, when they are loud enough. The proposal concerned the Conservation Futures Fund, which authorizes the collection of property taxes for the purchase of land under threat of development. According to Island County code, these can include open space, wetlands, habitat conservation areas, and farm, agricultural and timber lands. Municipalities and organizations apply for the funds, which are then reviewed by two citizen bodies: the Citizens Advisory Board and the Technical Advisory Group. Projects that make it through both are recommended to the commissioners for final approval. This lengthy and time-tested approach has a track record of success, having roles in the preservation of lands such as Double Bluff, Greenbank Farm, Ala Spit on North Whidbey and Four Springs Preserve on Camano Island, to name just a few. These properties have come to be part of what defines Island County as destinations, and indeed, as communities. Not having them would be nearly unthinkable. Yet, the proposal was to decrease the amount levied in 2014, use what money was received to pay off existing debt, and not accept any applications next year while reviewing the overall effectiveness of the conservation program. Swarms of island residents lobbied against the proposal — about 100 attended the commissioners Monday evening meeting, and local newspapers received many letters to the editor protesting the measure prior to the vote. In the end, the board agreed on a compromise. Collection would remain the same, but the 1 percent increase that seems to accompany just about every government budget these days would be forgone. Also, applications would be accepted in 2014 but the priority would be on property around military airfields, such as Outlying Field Coupeville. Finally, the board will move forward with its original plan to take a good look at the program’s effectiveness and identify any needed changes or improvements. We believe that is both a reasonable and prudent step concerning a program that’s been running for so many years. Every budget is scrutinized and the Conservation Futures Fund should be too. It’s called good government.

Consider citizens’ needs first Editor, When I travel along the west side of Lake Washington, from the arboretum to Seward Park, I am amazed at the foresight that the public officials had over 100 years ago. They had a vision of the future that included beautiful places for the masses to enjoy, for free, with their families. And then I wonder how it is that we have come to a time and place where our public officials are concerned that real estate developers, often from off the island, need to have equal consideration for their self-serving endeavors and that we, as a people, should somehow embrace that line of thinking. I say to those commissioners here in Island County that are
championing that line of thought: it was the people who elected you to watch out for them, not to take care of any special interest group. Please re-examine and reconsider your pledge to serve the citizens of Island County and then do what is appropriate to benefit those people who put you in the position to serve them.

But there is one common thread to those disagreements, and that is respect; respect for the person we disagree with. It is our duty to respect those we disagree with. Yes; I said “duty.” Too many people today assume that “democracy” means that they can think, say, and do what they please. I disagree. Democracy means more than just having the right to choose what we believe in and what we support. Being a part of a democracy obligates us to respect the opinions of others — even those opinions we may vehemently disagree with. Name calling, personal threats, and the utter dismissal of someone else’s opinions isn’t just a matter of rudeness; it attacks the core concepts of democracy. If we insult someone because we disagree with them, we insult democracy itself. If we refuse to listen to someone who has a differing opinion, we are
becoming deaf to the needs of a democracy. And God forbid that we should want to prevent someone from voicing their opinions in the first place — as that is when democracy dies and the likes of fascism takes hold. Our ancestors fought for ourselves and for the world at large to preserve this wonderful and yet fragile concept that is democracy. And I write this letter today because recent articles and letters to and from this paper show a lack of respect for each other that I find not funny but frightening. Democracy without respect is no democracy at all. And so I appeal to all the readers of and writers to this paper to be respectful of each other. If for no other reason, we owe that much to the men and women who made and continue to make our own democracy possible. DON FARBER Coupeville

Coupeville man, a former teacher, shares love of model trains, scenes By SARA HANSEN South Whidbey Record
Walking into the downstairs of Jack Tingstad’s house is like taking a trip back in time. Trains traverse the old railroads of Colorado, making their way through mining towns. “It’s a great hobby, especially in the Northwest during the winter,” Tingstad said. Tingstad will host his 13th model railroad open house from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at his home at 508 Broadway St. He has worked at the Gifts of the Heart Food Bank for 10 years, and asks those coming to see the trains to bring a donation. The landscape depicted is of Colorado during the 1910s and 1920s. The red-toned rocks and aspens enamored Tingstad, in addition to the rich history the state provides for an avid railroad enthusiast. Colorado is the most replicated area for model railroaders. “If Colorado disappeared tomorrow, you could just get model railroaders to build it again,” Tingstad said. Some of the places Tingstad depicts are Salida, Tennessee Pass, Leadville, Silverton and Glenwood Springs. The station Tingstad built for Glenwood Springs is a scratch build — meaning he drew the plans himself and built it from raw materials not in a kit. Other structures Tingstad has built have won awards over the years, such as his Crystal Rive Mine Structure
— also a scratch build. Tingstad taught for 25 years and retired in 1995, and has worked on model railroads since 1972. He likes sharing his hobby with others. “The teacher thing was still there, and I wanted to teach people,” Tingstad said. Tingstad wasn’t always into trains. In junior high, he would work on model ships. His neighbor built model ships as well, and Tingstad would work on his current project with him. His neighbor also had a model train, but Tingstad didn’t pick that up as a hobby until later. A model railroad is a multifaceted hobby because it involves scenery, structures and the operations of the trains, Tingstad said. He’s learned to paint, sculpt and build structures. To create scenes is technical. When putting a scene in the distance, the scale has to be right to create the illusion that it’s far away. There are meetings in Oak Harbor every month for
model railroad hobbyists and about 35 people attend from all over the island, he said. Speakers come to the meetings and inform attendees about different topics. Tingstad also meets with a group who work on operations. As his hobby grew, he needed a bigger room in the house to display his work. Over the years he’s expanded the space to include an adjacent room to help stage train operations. By expanding the staging area to the other room, it creates more operating potential, Tingstad said. One of Tingstad’s favorite scenes he made is of the convicts who are working on the opposite side of the railroad tracks. Even though the supervisors are separated from the prisoners when a train goes by, they can’t escape because the drop-off is their only escape route. Tingstad likes visitors taking their time to discover all the little scenes he created over the years. Since the open house takes place

The avid model train builder will open his home train track to the public for the 13th time on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. during the holiday season, visitors will also have to find where Santa and his helper are hiding. Tingstad puts them out every year for people to try to spot. With all the thoughtful care Tingstad puts into his work, attendees will have a hard time finding every detail, but he encourages them to try.

Collins returns to coach Falcon boys basketball Familiar face returns after leaving in 2009
“After a while, you can’t ignore the fact you need to be coaching.”
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Scott Collins wants the South Whidbey boys basketball team to play like they practice, so they run, a lot. Collins’ name and face may be familiar to South Whidbey residents. He coached the Falcons back in 2007 until 2009. He had hoped to secure a teaching job in the district, but stepped down as coach to take a teaching job at Oak Harbor High School when a position here didn’t materialize. South Whidbey Athletic Director Kelly Kirk hired Collins to replace Henry Pope who died from heart complications in July. Collins knew him and he came back both “out of respect” for Pope and because of a longing to be on the court at Erickson Gym. “After a while, you can’t ignore the fact you need to be coaching,” said Collins, 34. “I regret leaving the first time. I’m planning on staying a while this time.” Other than the head coach, other team leadership positions are the same as last year. Jeff Hanson will lead the junior varsity program and Tim Collins — no

After the devastating loss of Pope, keeping some continuity in the program was important to Kirk and South Whidbey High School. Bringing in Scott Collins, who had some name recognition with the older players, helped restore that stability. “He had a sense of what the South End of the island is like, what the school’s like and the culture,” Kirk said of Collins. “That really gave him an inside track.” Players praised Collins for bringing a competitive spirit to drills and practices. When they rehearse plays, either on defense or offense, they get scored throughout a practice. Games will be scored, and Collins wanted to instill a competitive nature

in the team as early as he could. “Anything we can do where there are winners and losers, we try to incorporate into our practices,” Collins said. That philosophy, though perhaps not entirely prolific on South Whidbey, is a trademark of Collins’ coaching style. It was learned from one of the best in Washington state high school boys basketball history, Mac Fraser — the longtime Mount Vernon High School coach who was inducted into the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association hall of fame in 2005. Collins, who lives in Burlington and still teaches
at Oak Harbor High School, is back at South Whidbey working to bring the basketball program into the forefront of the 1A scene with goals of state tournaments in the near future. To do so, he hopes to find a teaching job at the high school soon. And, unlike the last time he left the Falcons, which compiled a 25-19 overall record during his two seasons, he will wait around more than a couple of years if the job doesn’t materialize. Until then, Collins is in charge of invigorating a program that suddenly lost its coach, a program that saw students with a long history of playing basketball sit out the sport and others quit midway through the season. South Whidbey’s athletic director thinks he found the right person. “I’m always looking for somebody who’s enthusiastic about the sport, somebody who’s looking at building a program, not just a team,” Kirk said.

Whidbey boys soccer squad claims league title The Whidbey Reign U-18/17 boys soccer team wrapped its undefeated season in the North Puget Sound League with the league championship. Whidbey’s premier boys soccer team finished 10-0-1 before its final regular season game Sunday at its home field, the Sports Complex on Langley Road. “They’re really playing some good soccer right now. I’m really proud of what they’ve accomplished,” said Reign head coach Terry Swanson. During the course of the season, the Reign ruled the field, scoring 47 goals and allowing only eight. Of the team’s personnel, 20 have played for the South Whidbey High School boys soccer program during the spring. The Reign will play for the Washington Youth Soccer Founder’s State Cup, likely in January. The team may host two games before playing at the Starfire Complex in Tukwila.

easements surrounding NAS Whidbey and OLF would be a top priority, followed by a loan payoff and continued debt service payments, applications for maintenance of existing properties and new easements throughout the county. Emerson described the open space that she enjoyed as a child in California, and said the area has since been developed into a “beautiful” marina that has created a lot of jobs. She said she believes there are benefits to development of these kinds of areas. Emerson said she has heard support from some constituents for a moratorium on the Conservation Futures Fund, adding that she maintains the issue should be taken to the public for a vote. “It is popular? Maybe it is. I don’t know,” Emerson said. “I still question, which is why I think it should go to a vote of the people.” That said, Emerson said she would be willing to support the current funding levels, without the optional 1 percent increase, if the board would establish “specific priorities within the language of the ordinance.” After some haggling on the wording of the amendment, the other two commissioners conceded and the ordinance passed 3-0.
WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM
Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said Tuesday the ordinance didn’t go “as far” as she would have liked, but she considered the compromise a success. “I would have liked us to maintain the funding with the 1 percent increase,” Price Johnson said. “But it’s a really important win.” The move to prioritize areas surrounding working airfields on Whidbey highlights the hotbed of tension there. Resident complaints about jet noise have increased over the past year. Many believe that the EA-18G Growler is louder than the EA-6B Prowler it is replacing, and that the Navy is performing more operations than estimated in a 2005 study. The Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve or COER, who sued the Navy in July asking for an environment impact study due the complaints of excessive jet noise, issued the following statement Tuesday. “While COER is appreciative of the fact that the county and the Navy are finally admitting that the EA-18G is causing physical and mental harm to residents living under the horrific noise of EA-18Gs at the OLF, COER does not feel that taking any funds away from the conservation futures of the entire county is the proper thing to SEE FUND, A24

lastic activity and pays a fee then they should be entitled to transportation. Greene said he would prefer to retain a system of checks and balances and not transfer authority of transportation to one person. “It needs to be laid out and needs to be specific,” he said. “We can’t provide transportation to Coupeville for one team and not another.” Directors Linda Racicot and Steve Scoles both agreed that they did not want to take away the ability to make decisions from the superinten-
dent and other staff members. Both voted to approve the change in wording. “There’s constantly shifting scenarios,” Scoles said. “I lean in the direction of allowing our employees to have some discretion and some flexibility.” This was Engstrom’s final meeting. Her successor, Rocco Gianni, will cast his vote on the issue during his first meeting Dec. 18. During the public comment period, Gianni said he would want a clear policy to ensure safety of children.

at their policies and how they want the district to operate. We’ll respect whatever that decision is.” Greene and Engstrom cast their “no” votes on approving the policy change, which calls for the superintendent to be “responsible for scheduling and shall have the authority to modify transportation services for any school or extracurricular activity.” Greene, who is still trying to determine if the change is something the board can do, said he believes if a student is involved in any interscho-

meeting Wednesday, Dec. 18. The five-member board was down one as Director Fred O’Neal was absent, returning from a trip. School policy is to use the state-owned school buses to and from extracurricular activities. The discrepancy between existing policy and practice was realized, which is why the board is reviewing the issue, said Superintendent Jo Moccia. After the meeting, Moccia said the board has a legitimate difference of opinion. “That’s their role, to look

A rare tie vote by the South Whidbey School Board last week has stalled a proposed housekeeping measure concerning student athlete transportation. The policy change, discussed at the board’s regular meeting Wednesday, Nov. 20, was a time-saving initiative that would have allowed students the option of arranging their own rides to some games, such as late-night matches on Central Whidbey. The idea was also to align existing policy with current practice as students are supposed to ride buses to games but are asked to get themselves to some games during the evening hours.
But two of the four attending board members were unwilling to approve the change. “I don’t support it,” Director Damian Greene said. “I think this community is a gracious community that gives for a transportation budget. I think the community wants their kids in bus transportation for all extracurricular activities.” Director Jill Engstrom expressed similar feelings on the matter. “The expectation is that we would provide transportation,” Engstrom said. “That’s what I would like to see.” The tie vote will cause the policy to stand as is, without changes. Board members decided to discuss the issue further at the next board

Fritz hull: changing whidbey with hope, creative action By SUSAN KNICKERBOCKER South Whidbey Record What visions and dreams do you see for the future? Fritz Hull says, “Humans have the remarkable ability to see something that does not exist, as if it already does, and then to act to bring it into form. Anyone can be a visionary — as long as they hold hope and belief.” Hull believes he has the responsibility to help however he can to serve a greater cause than himself. Fritz Hull, along with his wife Vivienne, founded Chinook Learning Center over 40 years ago, which later became Whidbey Institute at Chinook. Those who know Hull call him a visionary who dreams up ideas not for personal gain, but to help humanity feel a sense of belonging and responsibility. “(Fritz and Vivienne) have been a wellspring of hope through the land and
programs that have quietly inspired many people around the world,” remarks Jerry Millhon, executive director of the Whidbey Institute. “Over the years, many moved to Whidbey to share their work and create a positive impact on this island. Fritz’s talent for seeking potential, courage to initiate bold action, and reverence for the spirit of the land have distinguished him as a true Whidbey Island treasure.” “Quite often we never know what seeds we sow in our life path,” Millhon said. “In this case, it is quite clear that he has had a profound effect on many.” Hull has been inspired by the late Thomas Berry, a Passionist priest and environmental author, who sometimes taught at Whidbey Institute. “Thomas helped us see all life as sacred, and to believe in the emergence of a new ecological age,” Hull recalled. The Thomas Berry Hall at Whidbey Institute was

Hull himself is an ordained Presbyterian minister and served in a large church in Seattle from 1963-72. “It’s a great church, and Vivienne and I enjoyed our time there, and loved the people,” he said. “We weren’t rejecting something but moving out into something new and innovative.” Hull began to envision a societal need beyond the church. He knew someone could take his place as a minister, but wondered if someone else would carry out this vision he felt led to take on. That vision was to go back to Whidbey Island

where his parents had a summer home and create a community site where people could come together and become inspired to follow their visions and dreams and feel a sense of belonging to each other and to the earth. Hull says, “It was central to our new work to welcome people of all faith traditions who were seeking new spiritual expressions. “This would be mostly an outdoor setting, where Vivienne and I believed we could reconnect with wild nature, and with others learn a new way of living in harmony with the natural world. So we left the security of a main-
line church vocation — along with a steady paycheck and, most important, our church friends — to create the next mission, a calling I could not ignore. We were committed to doing everything we could to make it happen. We purchased 15 acres with an old, abandoned farm house on it. There were fits and starts, the usual naysayers, and some discouraging times. We learned to push through the self-doubt, stay committed to the dream and find others who shared the dream. With many wonderful people on South Whidbey and beyond, it slowly became a reality — the Chinook Learning Center

and what is now called the Whidbey Institute.” Kurt Hoelting, a Whidbey Institute neighbor and author writes, “I am one of many people on South Whidbey who made this island my home because of Fritz Hull. I first came to Whidbey as a student of Fritz’s in 1970 when he was campus minister at University Presbyterian Church in Seattle. Fritz’s vision and passion in forming the Chinook Learning Community in the early ’70s, and the Whidbey Institute in the early ’90s, in both cases had a profound influence on my life and work. It has been a great privilege to have Fritz as a mentor and lifelong friend.” “I have always been energized by the experience of the mystery of life, and a strong sense of the transcendent,” says Hull. Visiting inside the StoryHouse building, another of Hull’s visions, it’s easy to see how contagious his visions can be. “This was an open picnic shelter that Greg Gilles built,” Hull said. “I was lying in a hammock in it one day, looking at the beauty Greg had built, and I thought ‘this structure has to be preserved.’ I began to imagine a building created out of this open shelter,” and the 900-square-foot StoryHouse was born. It’s a mixture of old and new, artworks and antique furniture which makes for an inviting, cozy cottage atmosphere complete with a warm stove. StoryHouse, located on 30 acres next to the Institute, is the base for Hull’s work called “Spirit of Legacy,” a project of the Whidbey Institute. StoryHouse now serves a number of programs and groups. Hull’s latest visionary endeavors are primarily for young people of all backgrounds. He said when he read that the average young person, ages 8 to 18, spends eight hours indoors each day looking at a screen, he was troubled. This is a “nature deficit disorder,” he said, which “calls us to find ways to bring young people back into understanding and loving nature.” Hull began to dream and envision, and is now See HULL, A13

developing the School for Knowing Home, a learning environment for children. He has written up a plan for this creative outdoor project. He states that one can have a vision, but it must also be practical. “The vision is just part of what is needed; I spend a lot of time mowing the grass and doing the tedious work as well,” he said. He added that we all have a deep desire to belong. “I want every child to know that we have a common origin, we all come from stardust, and we belong to the whole of creation,” he said. “The powers that sustain the universe will sustain us as well.” Sharon Parks, Whidbey Institute senior fellow says, “I have known Fritz and Vivienne since 1969. They have a remarkable ability to recognize key needs emerging in our society and gather people together to explore how to create a better future for ourselves and others. Fritz is a man of big ideas, hopes, and meaningful aspirations. He is spiritually aware, trained as a Christian minister, and has a strong sense of vocation and purpose. (He is) always listening for what is being asked of him.” Hull says he wakes up all the time with visions of new programs for children and youths. He enthusiastically talks about a village of tree houses. “Kids will love them, and I don’t think we will be able to keep adults out of them either,” Hull said. Because he is practical, he has written out every detail of how this would work, from a budget to what and who is needed. Ross Chapin, an architect and volunteer remarks, “I first met Fritz in 1979 when I came to the island to visit the Chinook Learning Center. I was taken at once by his vision. It was grand and optimistic, yet neither airy nor intangible. It starts here — making trails, fixing up an old farmhouse, and listening to each other speak to the challenging questions of our
time. His deep desire and pleasure has always been to create places that connect us to our own sense of spirit, inspiration and meaningful work.” Hull’s dedication to protecting land resulted in the growth of the original farm from 15 acres to 72 acres; the Legacy Forest adds another 30 acres. Today it’s a 100acre retreat and conference center with most of the land protected by the Whidbey Camano Land Trust. Speaking particularly of land Hull states, “We do not really own anything here on this earth, we are only stewards of it for a short time. We must steward it for now and for the next generation.” He says one of the questions he poses to himself over and over is: “What is being asked of me while I am here on this earth?”
What locals say about Fritz “When we think of Fritz we are immediately filled with gratitude for the four decades of consciousnessraising work that Fritz and Vivienne have offered in this community and throughout the world. Fritz and Vivienne were our inspiration to move to Whidbey Island 30 years ago, to join with the work they were leading at the Chinook Learning Center. They continue to educate and inspire thought and action supporting the vision of a sustainable future for our children and grandchildren.”

as campus minister, University Presbyterian Church in Seattle, 1963-72. Founder with wife, Vivienne, of Whidbey Institute and Chinook Learning Center, and leadership retreats on the Island of Iona in Scotland. Children: Timothy Hull, songwriter/musician. Years on Whidbey: Part time, 73 years. Hobbies: Restoring old buildings and building new ones. Work in forests on projects, trail work, travel and writing. People Hull admires: His wife Vivienne. They have
worked side by side for 50 years. They share a mission to help others in life. His son, Timothy, has been a great part of all that. Many people on South Whidbey; without them the Institute or Chinook could not have been achieved. He has a great admiration for many people here. What would you want to do over and better this time? “If it was possible to do some things over, I would definitely express more appreciation for the work of others, more acknowledgment; it’s so important.”
“Fritz is a key person in Whidbey’s development and in our family’s. When he and Vivienne moved into Fritz’s father’s fishing shack in Clinton, a cascade of great changes followed. Establishing the Chinook Learning Community meant attracting people from all over the world to come to Whidbey — and many of us stayed. Fritz’s creativity, intelligence and warmth mean the world to us and to all who have now experienced the fabulous results of his efforts.”

“Fritz is a dreamer, inspiring others, a father, a husband and a friend. Forty years ago, Fritz and Vivienne founded Chinook and later Whidbey Institute, a place to gather, share, learn and celebrate — a living testimony to a dream fulfilled.”
— Nancy Nordhoff, Hedgebrook founder, philanthropist
“Our relationship with Fritz and Vivienne began in 1979 with community involvements. Jim has traveled with Fritz many times, most recently to Kenya working on the Wangari Maathai ‘Greening of Africa’ project. Fritz originated a men’s group of some local community leaders in 1990 that is together cohesively to this day. Today his focus is on our youths. Fritz’s lifelong work with religious background has enabled him to have a strong guiding hand in all walks of our community life.”

“Fritz is one of the magnificent attractors who drew my wife Peggy and me to Whidbey.

“Fritz and his wife Vivienne, an equal partner in his endeavors, have played a major role in shaping South Whidbey culturally and philosophically to our great benefit. Fritz articulated the Christian call to cherish and steward all of creation. True to these values, they have taken on the role of stewardship of the 70-odd acres at and around the land at what is now the Whidbey Institute. Recently Fritz has reached out to younger folks, believing that as a culture we will only cherish and protect what we love, so he brought hundreds of

“Fritz Hull is one of the main reasons I settled on Whidbey back in 1983. I listened to him talk and thought, ‘There is much I can learn from this man.’ And indeed there was, and is. I admire Fritz’s vision and his commitment to the well-being of this planet. His faith, his caring about people, his positive spirit in the face of adversity are all qualities I admire and which serve him well. His stewardship of the land benefits the whole island. Thank you, Fritz!”

Toys for Tots prepares for holiday season By RON NEWBERRY South Whidbey Record For Re McClung, watching toys pile up in her garage is a joy to see. In a way, it’s therapy. McClung is pleased to still be involved with the
Toys for Tots donation program on Whidbey Island this holiday season. She knows what the sight of those toys would have meant to her daughter Megan McClung, a U.S. Marine killed in Iraq in 2006. And she knows what
they would have meant to her husband Michael McClung, also a former Marine who died of natural causes in July. Both had giving hearts and held soft spots for children. With her husband and daughter now gone, Re McClung decided to carry on the charitable mission her family believes in. She is co-chairwoman of the island-wide Toys for Tot program run by Maj. Megan McClung Marine Corps League Detachment 1210. She shares that
role with Bob Gabelein, Commandant of the local detachment. Michael McClung held both of those titles until his unexpected death. McClung and her husband took on the Toys for Tots program as part of the detachment in 2006 in memory of their daughter, who died three weeks before Christmas. “It made it a cheery Whyinstead w a i t oftoa sad s ave m on e y ?

“This season is going to be doubly hard without Megan and now Mike. I just thought I should move forward with this.” Toys for Tots is keeping McClung busy overseeing the collection and distribution of the toys, while Gabelein focuses on the finances and bookkeeping. McClung, who lives in Coupeville, and Gabelein, from Langley, both take satisfaction in bringing joy to children from families who are in need. Toys for Tots is a national organization run by the Marine Corps Reserve. Since Whidbey Island does not have a reserve unit, it is run locally by the island’s only Marine Corps League detachment. “It’s to help the families who are struggling with the economy being so bad,” Gabelein said. “It brings a good smile to the kids when they have something under their tree at Christmas.” Collection boxes have been set up in stores all over the island for those who’d like to donate a new unwrapped gift. The Oak Harbor Walmart is holding the inaugural “Fill the Truck” campaign over
WAIF
the next three weekends. Toys collected end up going to five different agencies for distribution, including Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor’s “Tree of Hope” and Holiday House on South Whidbey. Toys also come from the Toys for Tots national foundation in Washington, D.C. “We deliver the toys to them,” McClung said of the agencies. “They give us the number of children they’re serving, their genders and ages so we can match the toys.” Navy Federal Credit Union also is raising money to purchase bicycles through Walmart for Toys for Tots. To also help fill children’s wish lists, members of the local Marine Corps League will be at the ferry terminal in Clinton Dec. 7-8 to accept cash donations to purchase toys. McClung said that every toy and every dollar collected on Whidbey Island stays on the island. She said the program served 1,863 children last year and they expect more than 2,000 this year. That’s a lot of toys. And a lot of smiles. “People here are very generous,” McClung said.

hull “Perhaps the most important thing Fritz has taught throughout his career is that religion and the environment are not opposed to each other but, in fact, fit together seamlessly. It is imperative, he will say, that we carry on “the Great Work” of bringing the scientific study of the environment more fully into our religious thought and recognize that the entire universe and its evolution are part of a sacred story. His vision and imagination have had an enormous impact on these last twenty years of my life, and for that I am deeply grateful.”
“Fritz brought vision, compassion, and community to Whidbey. There are so many folks who followed Fritz to Whidbey. He brings magic and vision to create a better world. When I sit with Fritz I feel he sees me with an open heart. He is a rugged outdoorsman who enjoys creating trails in the woods for others.”
“Fritz has had a major – if relatively quiet – influence on the whole of South Whidbey. This has contributed significantly to the general culture and network of relationships of the south end of the island. He has gifted new generations with an important avenue through which to give their contributions to the world. He has, indeed, lived a spirit of legacy.”

high-traffic areas before the Dec. 7 event. Some of the bushes are small, easily snipped with a decent pair of loppers and some thick gardening gloves. Others as tall as 20 feet, however, will require a more industrial approach. “They’ll take a chainsaw to cut down,” Lease said. Holly Day was designed to be a win-win event for
South Whidbey State Park. The grounds get cleared of a non-native species, and volunteers get to add it to their holiday decorations. Most of the holly plants were stripped of their berries by birds and rodents, the original culprits which spread holly seed to the park, before the planned Holly Day. To make up for it, Sue Ellen White, member of the Friends group, said they will have bright red ribbon to adorn the swags. Other elements for the
popular holiday decorations will come from the park itself. Spruce branches, fir needles and pine cones were collected from the park’s forest floor so people can visit South Whidbey State Park, a hotspot in the summer, in the cool light of December. Running from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., the event will also include some hospitality, courtesy of the Calyx School, an outdoor-based program. Cookies and cider will be available while people craft the evergreen and holly
decorations. Organizers said music would play, too. Normally the rules at parks are to leave nature alone and not pack anything out. In the case of holly, identified as a weed of concern in Island County, the special work party day was approved by state parks managers, which allows people to come in and clear the park of the designated plant. “It’s very invasive. It should be on the noxious weed list,” said Janet Stein,

Island County Noxious Weeds program coordinator. “It competes with our native plants and can start getting pervasive in a lot of forest situations … You can be walking in almost any forest and find a holly plant.” The event will go on, rain or shine, with only a strong wind storm canceling the work party. Volunteers will not need a day-use pass or Discover Pass to park in the south lot.

COER feels that the only solution is stopping the EA-18G from using the Coupeville OLF.” Commissioner Jill Johnson said she was glad to see all the community input even though many were vocally against her idea to place the futures program on hold. “It cuts both ways,” Johnson said. “But I’m glad when people participate.

out conversations. This is really a battle of values and people need to be engaged on this.” According to state law, the county can borrow money to purchase “any open space land, farm and agricultural land, and timber land” to control the development rights. The private owner may retain the right to continue any existing open space use of the land, and to develop any other open space use, but only under conservation futures restrictions defined by the county. The county issues a tax levy to pay the debt service for the acquired land or development rights.
