Francisco scrubs Langley First Street vision “I’m through with Langley,” developer says By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The owner of the Village Pizzeria building and more property on Langley’s First Street said Thursday he will not pursue major development plans. In a phone interview with The Record from his vacation home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Richard Francisco said the six-story, mixed-use building plans are stalled. He chided the city’s leaders for wanting too much from him in studies and public meetings, and said that he was unwilling to scale back the project. “I’m through with Langley,” he said. After years of planning and concept, Francisco presented his preferred design in mid-May to a packed room at Langley City Hall. Much of the crowd was opposed to his plan for a six-story building, when viewed from Seawall Park, to above First Street, occupying space from Boy and Dog Park up toward Wharf Street, where the city owns a large stretch of bluff. In total, the project stretched 215 feet along First Street. Two options were presented: one with five stories and a continuous block of storefronts, and one with six stories and a public viewing area separating the upper three stories, complete with an elevator down to Seawall Park. “I’ve spent tons of money, SEE FRANCISCO, A14

The wait for legal weed on South Whidbey may be longer than first thought. Whidbey Island Cannabis Company lacks the proper permits to open one of the state’s first recreational marijuana stores, and the county planning director alerted shop owner Maureen Cooke five days before the new business received the state’s OK. David Wechner, Island County’s planning director, said his department issued a stop work order to Cooke on July 2. The Washington State Liquor Control Board issued the first 24 recreational marijuana licenses July 7, and Cooke’s was on top of the list. She had hoped to open the store earlier this week, but was unable to get any legally produced and processed marijuana in time. In the interim, she wrote to the Island County commissioners asking for them to reconsider their order. The Bayview store needs a type 2 land-use permit and a building permit for work done inside the roughly 875-square-foot shop on Kramer Road. Cooke was irate with the county and the cost of the permits. “They’re just going to extort $2,500 out of me,” she said. “If they’re going to prevent me from opening and want me to pay $2,500, I’m going to pay the goddamn thing. I’m pissed,” she later added.

Boaters motor past a small pier located in Glendale, a small beach community on South Whidbey. Shoreline properties are being eyed for preservation, but it will mean the loss of the pier and boat launch.
Glendale buy to result in loss of pier, boat launch By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Acquiring key shoreline properties in Glendale for public use will mean the removal of an existing concrete boat launch and an over-water pier. Whidbey Camano Land Trust officials confirmed this week that funding issues have left the organization with little choice but to demolish the over-water structures, particularly the boat launch. The end result will be 240 feet of shoreline secured for public use, but property
restricted to non-motorized use only. “It’s choosing between having nothing there or having public access with some boat launch ability [kayaks],” said Pat Powell, executive director of the land trust. “There were no clear choices with this project.” Public response to the news has been mixed. Some say it’s simply the price to pay for public access, one that should be happily paid. SEE GLENDALE, A13
Congressional candidates weigh in on OLF By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Democratic Congressman Rick Larsen said Thursday that he continues his support for use of Outlying Field Coupeville by the EA-18G Growlers based at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. “I support keeping it open and I support the Growlers,” said Larsen, in a phone interview. “I’ve been a strong supporter of the Navy and it’s been a huge economic driver for North Whidbey.” Larsen is facing two challengers in the primary election which ends
Aug. 5. Island County residents can vote online now and paper ballots are expected to go out Wednesday. Larsen has been criticized for this position, even by some of his previous supporters, because they believe the Growlers pose series health risks. “I understand where people are coming from, which is why me and my staff has spent a lot of time getting the Navy to listen to people and their concerns and try to be responsive as an elected official,” Larsen said. “Opponents will conclude from this that I’m not listening. Just because I disagree doesn’t mean I’m not listening. From my outreach, I believe

Marcials celebrate 30 years together Alva and Manuel Marcial, owners of El Corral Mexican Restaurant in Bayview and Clinton residents, celebrated 30 years of marriage on July 8. Their pearl anniversary—the traditional gift for 30 years together— signified a long journey for the husband-wife and fathermother tandem. As told by their youngest daughter, Cassie, they met in Seattle at a dance. Manuel Marcial says it was love at first sight. Alva Marcial, however, was not sold. When they met, Manuel said his name was David to give the appearance of being a U.S. citizen. After two months of friendship, he told her his real name and revealed his deep-

Tsunami researchers track Whidbey’s geological history By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Frances Griswold excitedly pulled out a rock that crumbled in her hand and showed it to the other researchers Tuesday. The Central Washington University graduate student worked with fellow student Brian Ostrom to painstakingly examine the layers of soil, mud and sand viewable on the bank of an eroded creek on the Seaplane Base just north of Crescent Harbor this week. The university researchers, working under the supervision of professor Brea McGinnis, joined with local volunteers and the island’s emergency management organizations for the research all of last week. The purpose: piecing together Whidbey Island’s history of tsunamis, earthquakes and other geological events. Spearheaded by Island County’s department of emergency management, the study’s aim is to educate the island on what to expect and how to be prepared. The research continues until July 17. The decomposed rock discovered by Griswold is an example of a rock that aged in place, literally falling apart according to the makeup of its elements, McGinnis said. Its age, however, is tough to determine. “Its age depends on the layering process,” McGinnis said. “It was caused either by a lot of weathering or a lot of time.” Each piece of information discovered, however insignificant, will help researchers map out the area’s history. While in some cases the researchers are finding what they expected, conclusions can’t be made until the samples are examined and dated

Central Washington University graduate students Frances Griswold and Brian Ostrom examine soil and sand layers at the Seaplane Base on Thursday. CWU undergraduate Sam Smith surveys in the background. in a lab, according to Jim Rich, volunteer with Island County’s department of emergency management. “Our goal right now is to look for evidence of tsunamis,” said Rich, a retired oceanographer. “With that data we can look at known events and try to draw some correlations.” Among the known events is the three-foot ground shift discovered at Rocky Point on Whidbey’s eastern coast by previous academics. Rich said a shift of that magnitude would have an impact on other parts of the island and they are seeking evidence of that in Dugwalla Bay.
“We know for sure it happened at some point in the past,” Rich said. “It’s too big of an event not to be noticed.” In addition, historical tsunamis triggered by South Whidbey’s three fault lines would dead end right into Crescent Harbor, Rich said. The two locations are the focus of this round of research. McGinnis, who specializes in this type of research, said what the researchers see at Crescent Harbor is consistent with locations throughout Puget Sound. What is unique about the area is its history of agriculture. The original harbor
coast was farther west prior to the late 1800s when the area was diked and flushed with fresh water for agricultural use, according to the state Department of Ecology. It remained that way until 1994 when a portion of the salt marsh was restored and native plants and animals reintroduced. The various layers of marine organic material, driftwood, agricultural soil, trees, mud and sand make for an interesting and complex story, McGinnis said. Within this, researchers are looking for layers of marine material, sand and peat that could have been placed there by tsunami waters. In addition, sand liquefaction — when pressured sand and water burst from the earth’s surface — is common around Puget Sound and is an indicator of earthquakes. McGinnis said she’s seen evidence that the entire area around Crescent Bay was lowered significantly at some point during a ground shift of some sort. To assist them in filling in the blanks of the last few hundred years, Rich has requested that Tom and Jan Ellis begin to compile information from the written and oral histories of the Native American tribes who first resided here. Tom Ellis said while he has just begun his research, he has found that many of the oral histories are told in allegory or in “fanciful” terms, which may make recovering the information a challenge. A call to a Swinomish historian was not returned by deadline. From a public safety per-
management standpoint, we know the shallow faults are more dramatic… they cause a 20-to-30-second quake right under our feet, causing potentially a great deal of damage depending on the size and type of a building’s structure,” Jandzinski said. “It comes down to, the more we know, the better.”
spective, this information can be invaluable, according to Gary Jandzinski, emergency management officer for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Knowing the way the earth and water responds to the shift of small local faults is critical for first responders. “From an emergency

SCHOOLS Students are top priority in budget Declining enrollment will force the South Whidbey School Board to trim next year’s budget by about $275,000. Any budget cuts are to be taken from programs as distantly related to student learning and wellbeing as possible, according to statements from board members. Due to declining enrollment numbers, state funding to the school district has also decreased.

2015 school year budget Wednesday at a school board workshop held in the Langley Elementary School Community Room. Comparable improvements from the previous school year budget, according to Poolman and as outlined in an executive summary, include new fulltime employees in areas such as certificated staff, classroom support workers, custodial and maintenance staff and building support hours. Some of the strain on this year’s budget comes from the amount spent on increased staffing and employee salary raises for certain workers, including Superintendent Jo Moccia. The salary raises and increase in staff members, combined with increased legal fees and medical costs district-wide will amount to a combined total of $460,000. Other major changes to the coming year’s budget include reductions in supplies spending by $205,000 with the largest reductions in programs such as transportation, vocational and food services. Out-of-district services and transportation costs will be cut by $70,000. The 2014-15 school year budget is available online at www.sw.wednet. edu. The board will hold a business meeting to ratify the budget, followed by an executive session for negotiations, at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 23 in the same location.

Langley dedicates renewed Second Street to city’s future By BEN WATANABE
South Whidbey Record
The sun shone brightly upon Second Street during its city dedication Wednesday afternoon, heralding the road’s major overhaul as complete. Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, with a snip of scissors, cut a ribbon signaling the official opening of the road between Anthes and Cascade avenues. Starting in January, the street was partially closed as crews tore out the old concrete, replaced some utilities underground, widened the sidewalks, and replaced the road. “This is exactly what we had in mind,” said Langley City Councilman Bruce Allen.
In the middle of the street, between Callahan’s Firehouse and the South Whidbey Commons, dozens of people crowded the plaza. Instead of a lined crosswalk, one of the features was a raised center section with what looks like bricks laid out in a pattern. Hamburgers, hot dogs, snacks and ice cream were available for people to enjoy while taking in the city’s $2.7 million project. Langley leaders hope that it will help spark a revitalization in one of the city’s two
important business areas, with the other being First Street. Jeff Arango, Langley planning director, said having the road project finished and celebrated was a huge burden off his shoulders. “To answer many of your questions, yes, I am relieved,” he said. Arango also said that the point of redesigning Second Street to make it more pedestrian friendly was to build a tighter sense of community —people chatting over coffee on a

Editorial First Street proposal was not a good fit Langley property owner Richard Francisco announced this week that he has abandoned plans to redevelop his First Street holdings. No doubt many will breathe a sigh of relief over the news, and perhaps they should. Growth, development and change are not things to abhor, but the price of Francisco’s vision — trading a community shared viewshed for the prospect of economic development — was too high. The proposal concerned an area on the north side of First Street from Whidbey Island Bank across the road to Boy and Dog Park. Francisco would have torn down the recently renovated building that houses a pizza restaurant to make way for two buildings that would house 14 residential units, four second-story offices, four street-front retail spaces, two restaurants and an out-of-sight parking garage that would use an elevator to shuttle vehicles to one of 28 spaces. Francisco’s hopes were for three-story structures — six stories when viewed from the waterfront — and told city officials he’d need an exemption from Langley’s two-story height limit. If he didn’t get it, he’d forgo plans for a courtyard and instead build a single, nearly 215-foot-long building stretching the length of the property. In a May interview, he told The Record it was not a matter of holding the city hostage, but having as much space as possible to sell and lease. Perhaps so, but to us they are one and the same. It’s a message that says, “Give me what I want, or else.” It’s also a statement that city and community values, in this case a height limit designed to protect Langley’s rural character and views of the waterfront, are less important than one person’s pocketbook. Development is like art; one person may find something pleasing, another not so much. But subjective and personal distaste of a project has no bearing on an individual’s legal right to improve their investments. It’s one of the reasons why cities have rules that guide and shape development — to keep personal opinion out of the decision-making process. However, with right comes responsibility. A three-story project that would block the view of residents and visitors alike is not in keeping with Langley’s values. At best, Francisco’s vision was out of character. At worst, unneighborly and rude. The Record had hoped that through community, city and developer discussion, a compromise would be struck. But Francisco has figuratively thrown up his hands, telling a reporter this week he is “done with Langley,” and that’s a shame. The prospects for economic development gained from additional commercial space on First Street was exciting, but it’s turned out to be a case where everyone loses.

Letters Response
There’s no proof the base would close with OLF loss Editor, I needed to respond to Fred Becker’s dire warning letter in the July 9 edition of The Record, “If the Navy left, Oak Harbor would die.” This talking point is getting so old and is so untrue. In a study conducted by the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst 2011 update, it illustrates the fact that, “devoting $1 billion to the military versus the same amount of money spent on clean energy, health care, and education,” is not the best use of our treasure. This study states that, “Our conclusion is straightforward: $1 billion spent on each of the domestic spending priorities will create substantially more jobs within the U.S. economy than would the same $1 billion spent on the military.”
My argument against the much hyped “Oak Harbor would die” scenario is quite simple but would take some creative solutions. There is a wealth of talent in Oak Harbor and instead of using that talent for more military adventures the world over to protect the business interests of the 1 percent and to create more enemies, I would suggest that this huge talent be used in a constructive manner. Build an infrastructure that is sustainable, instead of more war. Build hospitals for all citizens instead of more war. Build housing for the homeless instead of more war. Build more schools and educate the whole population for free through university and beyond, should the citizenry so desire. We could do this instead of focusing on the very misleading meme of “war and the preparations for war is good for jobs,” when just the opposite is the truth. Peace will set us free when we are

Safety ideas
Need a turn lane; ban blinding strobe lights Editor, Three or four ideas to make driving safer: — A turn lane off State Highway 20 at Morris Road. At least just widen the shoulder so there is an escape for inattentive drivers behind you. — A fluttering brake light that will grab your attention. — Banning those Washington State Patrol car strobe lights that are dangerously blinding at night. — An automatic venting system in your car that will cool the interior per chance the temperature rises above 75 degrees. It might save a child or a pooch. JOHN SCHISEL Coupeville

‘Lemmings’ lemon returns to South Whidbey
THE DATE
•
By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record A low-budget bust filmed on South Whidbey nearly 25 years ago, a tale of zombies, time travel and Arthurian knights, will re-debut in Bayview this weekend as a benefit for veterans. “Lemmings” will be shown at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 13, at The American Legion South Whidbey Post 141 as a fundraiser for the veteran-focused organization. Directed in 1990 by Brian Smith, then a Freeland resident, the film was funded by community investors and “employed” a host of local actors. “There was probably 100 people involved with it; it was a big production,” said Don Wentworth, a Saratoga Road resident and former actor in the movie. But despite lots of interest and participation from South End residents, the $75,000 project was never finished. Smith had successfully sold 25 $3,000 shares, many to local investors, but years of filming took its toll and at the end of the day the pennies needed for completion were nowhere to be found. “We all had a feeling it was going to go nowhere,” said Mike McVay, another former actor and longtime South Whidbey resident. “And when the film finally came out it was terrible. It was really unfortunate.” According to a 1993 South Whidbey Record story penned by former staff writ-

Lemmings, a movie produced in the early 1990s on South Whidbey, attracted a cast of dozens which donned costumes and took to the woods for filming. Among the actors in this scene are, at center, jackie Shafer and the late John Norby. Second from the right is Ron Childers. The film, which was never completed, is being shown this weekend as a fundraiser for veterans. er Sue Frause, Smith did his best to pitch the piece to industry funders, but it simply didn’t meet muster. Three years after the production began, Smith announced the project was over. “‘Lemmings’ will always be the movie that could have been,” said Smith, in the 1993 Record story. But while the movie was a wrap, many who worked on the set, which was filmed in woods outside Langley, still have fond memories of the long ago affair, particularly the parties afterwards. “What was cool was the
off-screen debauchery of alcohol, sex and drugs,” laughed John Norby, another former actor in Lemmings. His father, the late John Norby, also had a role in the film. Norby added that “Lemmings” may have been a flop, but that it was better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all. As for Wentworth, he speculated that a genre change may have been helpful. “If it had been a comedy it might have been successful,” Wentworth said.

South Whidbey girl qualifies for national track meet By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record There is a simple strategy behind Elizabeth Donnelly’s racing success. She keeps pace with the girl in front of her when she runs the 800-meter and longer one-mile races, then passes them on the final stretch. There was little reason for the Langley 14-year-old to change after winning two Cascade League titles and qualifying for the USA Track and Field Junior national championship, set for later this month in Houston. Donnelly, a tall, slender girl with freckles on her face and a long auburn ponytail, finished in second place in the 800 and in the 1,500meter races [there is no one-mile event at the youth championship]. She qualified in both events for the national championship held in Houston, Texas from July 21-27. “I’m kind of nervous, but I’m excited to be racing against faster people,” she said. Donnelly will be a high school student next year after two years of running cross country and track and field for Langley Middle School. She set the school’s girls 800-meter record, though she only found out after the season ended. Her training, however, continued. Long ago, she had already decided on racing in the competitions, starting with a late June qualifier in Kent. She finished in second place in the 800 in 2:22 and fourth in the 1,500 in 5:05. Both times meant she moved on to the regional round during the

will run a five-day skills camp next week. The Falcon basketball camp runs from July 14-18 and costs $60. The proceeds support the Falcon girls basketball program.
That kind of fiery competitive nature is what gives her an edge, said her middle school coach. Don Zisette, the head track and field coach at Langley Middle School, credited Donnelly’s ability to push herself through the discomfort of essentially sprinting two laps and pacing four. “What I remember most is her desire to compete and be successful,” he said. “She’s a natural distance runner,” he later added. Running the mid-distance and true distance races was not always natural for her. Donnelly recalled running cross country in seventh grade, a fall sport, playing basketball, then joining track and field. Because she had experience with 3.2-mile races, she was lumped in with the distance racers for the 800 and 1,600 events. “I didn’t know what I was getting myself into,” she said. “Of course, I do now.”

One person who knew what Donnelly was in for was her mother, Rosie Donnelly. She raced the same events in college, and laughed when her daughter recited her best times. Elizabeth’s best time in the 800 this summer was 2:22 in the 800 — only two seconds off her mom’s best time in college — and 4:59.43 in the 1,500 — nine seconds off her mom’s best mile time. “She’s only in eighth grade,” her mom said, laughing. Come July 21, Donnelly wants a rematch. In Spokane, Donnelly’s secondplace 800 time of 2:23.16 was bested by 0.02 seconds, essentially a partial stride or a strong lunge at the finish line. “I’m excited that I qualified,” she said. “I hope the girl that beat me by twotenths of a second goes so I can have a chance at beating her.”

Education center leaves Bayview, goes on hiatus By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record In May, the Whidbey Island Community Education Center celebrated its first anniversary. One month later, the education center announced it was leaving Bayview School and had terminated all of its remaining classes, workshops, lectures and seminars. Created over the course of several years as a place for people yearning to learn, the center’s executive director resigned last month. The center was facing a state of flux as well as funding concerns. Its lease with the South Whidbey School District was coming to a close in August, and the center’s board decided it was the right time to leave. “There’s a practical side to our decision as well as a visionary side,” said Duncan Ferguson, the center’s board chairman. Instead of housing the bulk of its offerings, which range from multipleday classes to hour-long seminars, in one location, Ferguson said he and his fellow board members liked the original incarnation of the center as a roving program. In the future, the Whidbey Island Community Education Center may have a class in Oak Harbor, a seminar in Coupeville and a lecture in Clinton, all on the same day. For now, the education center is closed. Its space in the historic Bayview School, which was subleased to an art instructor, the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts and Whidbey Geodome, will remain open for an art show

want to object to a marijuana business, that ship has sailed.” Island County’s process is similar to a tavern, Wechner said. The Washington State Liquor Control board issues the liquor license, but the county still oversees the building and location regulations. Wechner said her store likely meets all the requirements but must go through the two-permit processes. “I would anticipate that she can receive her permit for it, certainly,” he said. “But she doesn’t have one and hasn’t applied.” Cooke planned to speak with the county, though she was upset that her letter to the commissioners was not replied to in a timely manner. She also said she would contact her lawyer. “I’ll get this thing resolved. I have to. It’s too important,” Cooke said. “If it was a shoe store, they wouldn’t make me go through that.”

Young thespians learn life lessons By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record In a bright orange, 2,400-square-foot canvas tent propped in the field behind Langley Middle School, a handful of young thespians are learning the importance of being earnest. “Henry,” the Island Shakespeare Festival’s affectionately named performance venue, is being employed as both a classroom and a rehearsal space for the Festival’s first Classic Conservatory for Young Adults, a four-week intensive summer training program for experienced actors ages 15-20. The conservatory will culminate with three free performances of Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest, a Trivial Comedy for Serious People,” directed by Nick Altishin. Susannah Rose Woods, who created the Island Shakespeare Festival five years ago, said she was inspired to begin the festival out of a love of classical theatre. “I believe the future of live theater, and specifically classical theater, is in education and training youth to become theatre artists and informed audience members,” said Woods. “I’m really excited about the potential for this to expand. I honestly think my proudest, or happiest moment was when Eric Mulholland said yes to becoming the education director for the company. I knew if he was involved, it would be astounding.” Island Shakespeare Festival’s mission is to put people first, offering free outdoor showings of live classical theater, and has in turn become a staple of the South Whidbey arts community. For the young adult conservatory, actors and instructors alike came from Whidbey and beyond to make up the tight-knit theatrical unit. Ahna Dunn-Wilder, who grew up participating in theatre and is currently a Shakespeare festival company member, is one of the acting and improv instructors. “Theater is so important for young people because it can teach so many important skills and lessons. Young peo-
ple are constantly struggling with identity and fitting in,” said Dunn-Wilder. “In theater, they get to play around with identity and explore who they are in a safe environment.” And because of the basic needs of theater they must cooperate with their teammates, support each other and work toward a common goal. “I found many other weirdos, like myself, in theater, and so it was relaxing to know that I had people that I could be goofy and dorky with who would love me for it,” Dunn-Wilder said. She added that the theater became a second home for her as a child, and that her career as both actor and mentor began on its stage. “I found an outlet where I was allowed to be myself and have a voice. I learned to work well as a team member, go with the flow and trust the process, and be weird,” she explained. “I also had the opportunity to mentor many younger actors while at Whibdey Children’s Theatre, which absolutely inspired me to teach theater and recognize its importance, especially in young people.” Valerie Huntington, also a Shakespeare festival cast member, teaches voice and circus while Pamela Turpen instructs the students in movement for stage. During the session, which begins in mid-June, students devote their mornings to the study of voice, stage combat, text and scene work. In the afternoons, they rehearse for the main-stage production. Education Director Eric Mulholland said the most rewarding part of his time with the young adults is seeing the “work in action.” “I just love seeing the young people in class experiencing high-level actor training, the teachers sharing their skills, the smiles on people’s faces,” said Mulholland in an email to The Record. “That’s what really makes me feel good about what I do. And I think it’s having a positive impact on people’s lives.” Like Dunn-Wilder, Mulholland said he found theater to be a haven in a tumultuous time, namely adolescence. “Theatre was a transfor-

It was a safe place for me to express my creativity and to get affirmation for being a little outside the box.” Mulholland said there is a particular intimacy associated with performing for South Whidbey audiences. “South Whidbey is a pretty special place. I think on some level, those of us who live here were drawn to Whidbey because of the deep appreciation this community has for the arts. And when the arts are valued in a locality, it’s a sure sign, in my opinion, of a
healthy community,” he said. “I think what I enjoy most about performing for a smaller community is the relationship that is built between actors and audiences. We all kind of know each other so it sometimes feels like we are gathering around the campfire and telling stories,”he added. “Here on Whidbey, we make opportunities to talk about plays and art.” Auditions and interviews, required for admission to the conservatory, are held in late April. The cost of the program is $500 and space is limited to 15 students. “The Importance of Being Earnest” will be presented in the Shakespeare festival’s

Small farms grow promotion of roadside stands By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Small agriculture is hoping to become big business with little stands on Whidbey Island. With the help of Goosefoot Community Fund and Whidbey Island Friends of Food and Farming, boutique farmers around the island banded together to produce a brochure detailing the locations of farm stores across Whidbey. The pamphlet highlights 21 roadside stands — little booths where each farm’s products and produce can be stocked and sold daily. Back in February, a group of farmers met with Goosefoot and asked for help. The nonprofit, which has a goal for economic development, agreed to help small-acre farmers with marketing and promotion, and created the brochure. It’s user friendly with icons and short descriptions of what’s available where, and the hours the farm stands are open. “We realized there were more and more farm stands popping up on the island, even if you didn’t have a commercial farm,” said Marian Myzkowski, Goosefoot’s program director. “Our local food economy is getting bigger and stronger every day,” she added. Buying local has been an Island County push for a while, citing that most of the money spent on Whidbey and Camano islands stays there. Eating local proves a more difficult challenge, and it’s one that Whidbey resident Vicki Robin knows well. She wrote “Blessing the Hands That Feed Us: What Eating Closer to Home Can Teach Us About Food, Community, and Our Place

GLENDALE CONTINUED FROM A1
“To give a little to get a little, that’s fine,” said Mike Thompson, a Glendale resident who uses the boat launch and has been a voice of support for securing the properties for public use. “To me it’s certainly worth it.” Yet other residents are scratching their heads over the development. “I think that would be a mistake not to preserve the boat launch just for money,” said Bud Kovic, another Glendale resident who uses the facility. “I don’t know why they’d take out infrastructure they’d never put back in,” he added. Earlier this year the land trust began working to purchase and preserve three separate waterfront properties: one that houses the old Glendale Hotel and the pier, an adjacent parcel with a house and boat launch, and a third undeveloped property just south of that. The total project cost, including land purchases, demolition — the hotel and the house would also be torn down to make way for parking — and miscellaneous property work is estimated

on the Growlers. COER appears to be throwing their support behind Lapointe on their blog. “I can relate to their problem,” said Lapointe in a Wednesday phone interview. “I don’t understand how this can be mitigated. The Navy has been non-responsive… only after the lawsuit. We shouldn’t have to be suing our own government to get some response.” Larsen’s Republican opponent former aerospace engineer BJ Guillot said closure of OLF and rebasing of the Growlers would hurt North Whidbey. “I think it would be devastating to the local economy if the Growlers aren’t able to fly,” Guillot said. “I’m not in favor of closing the OLF.” That said, Guillot said he’d be willing to listen to COER and other concerned residents.

marked with party politics and delays, “politically didn’t go well for anyone.” However, he said he hopes the response from constituents and the legislators frustration with the process has created a “self-enforcement mechanism” that will improve things moving forward. Larsen said he’s aware that the threat of sequestration is frustrating for the federal employees in Oak Harbor. “We need to do everything we can to avoid that,” Larsen said. “We still have structural budget problems and we need a balanced deficit reduction plan but not at the cost of the things we need.” Lapointe called the last budget cycle “pathetic.” “It’s an obvious symptom of what happens when the government has been taken over by corporate interests,” Lapointe said. Lapointe said he will “raise holy hell” to make sure the people have a place at the table. “There’s something wrong that is happening when elected officials can’t do what is wanted by 85 percent of their constituents.”
“I’ll be really disappointed if those are the terms in which those properties are acquired.”
Guillot said that while he supports a balanced budget amendment, he believes that Congress needs to “come together and compromise” in order to do their jobs.
Transportation Larsen said Congress needs to find a long-term, sustainable solution for the recent shortfall in the federal Highway Trust Fund. Larsen said transportation funding also helps the economy and creates jobs. “There is a federal role in transportation,” Larsen said. “Island County cannot meet all their transportation needs and we need to support that.” Lapointe said he’s noticed an upsetting decline in funding for transportation in recent years. “Now bridges are falling into the water and no one is doing anything about it,” Lapointe said. Lapointe said he would make concessions when
necessary to ensure that the country’s priorities like transportation are funded. Guillot said the country needs to look at how to fund transportation projects, but will not support any type of gas tax because gas is already too expensive. “We do have a crumbling infrastructure and we need to come up with a way to fix these things,” Guillot said.
Healthcare Larsen said he continues to support the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, and that adjustments can be made “as we go along.” While the measure has increased access to healthcare and reduced the cost of prescriptions for seniors, additional changes can and should be made, Larsen said. Lapointe said the act is “ridiculous,” although it “obviously does some good things.”
“What it does not do is get the insurance companies out of the equation,” Lapointe said. Lapointe said he’d favor a “Medicaid for all” type plan nationwide. The act should be repealed, according to Guillot, although he said there are a few things he’d like to retain. Guillot supports children staying on parental insurance until the age of the 26 and not preventing insurance coverage due to pre-existing conditions.
Immigration Larsen said it’s a “tragedy” that the GOP has refused to look at immigration reform this year. “There are people in our
communities who live in the shadows,” Larsen said. “We need to have a pathway to an earned citizenship.” Lapointe said he’s in favor of granting amnesty to existing illegal immigrants and simplifying the path to citizenship in the future. “We’re all immigrants,” Lapointe said. “Immigrants add to our economy and help build it.” Guillot, whose wife is a legal immigrant, said he believes it’s important to enforce the existing laws for the sake of those who have gone to the trouble of becoming legal. That said, the existing process is inefficient and “should be sped up a bit,” Guillot said.

shields some bulkheads from storm-driven driftwood coming from the south. Powell said the land trust will be meeting with residents at a community meeting later this month to address such concerns. As for the land purchases, she said one of the properties — the undeveloped parcel — has been secured and the rest are expected to close in September. All remain closed for public use, however, for safety reasons. The hope is to complete the project in the spring of 2016. Powell added the state grants planned to pay for the project are not guaranteed. The organization is funding the purchases with upfront money, and paying for everything else — about $600,000 — with loans. It’s a financial risk for the organization, but she said she believes the end result will be worth it. The land trust will own and maintain the property, leaving the county free of obligation. The partnership is a model for other cash-strapped governments around Puget Sound, she said. “I think it’s one of the most innovative partnerships that I’ve seen ... hopefully it will catch on in other places,” Powell said.

gone through four different designs, two different architects—it’s not cheap,” Francisco said. “I’m very disappointed,” he later added. “I’m not mad. I’m not angry. If this project can’t fly, I have no idea what Langley’s looking for.”
News of the project’s demise was a surprise to First Street business owner Fred Lundahl. “I’m sad that he’s decided he’s not going to go forward,” he said. “I think that properly done development that takes into consideration the nature of the historic look and feel of the downtown area is welcome.” He later learned that the city wanted view loss and
mitigation studies to address concerns from some business owners on the other side of First Street. Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy said he plans to continue to work with Francisco on a “workable solution” for a development on First Street. “This would be the biggest project we’ve had here in a long, long time,” McCarthy said. “Possibly ever.”

“It’s kind of a deal where there needs to be some back and forth here,” he added. “And I was hoping he wasn’t ready to say he was finished talking with us.” McCarthy described the tension between property owner and the city as one needing compromise. He cited Langley’s zoning code and ordinances regulating building height, which Francisco hoped to trade for the public viewing area and elevator. That wasn’t going to work, McCarthy said, especially given public input from business owners on First Street. But he said the city offered other ideas, such as relocating the project farther up First Street, away from Boy and Dog Park, where it would not block any views. That site would also have allowed for Francisco to build four stories below street level, and two stories above. “Apparently he’s taking the position that he has to have everything he wanted,” McCarthy. That wasn’t going to work, Francisco said. Any time the city gives up public property, there has to be a public benefit or a swap. Francisco said it would be too difficult to go through that process. “The city drew a line in the sand,” Francisco said. “I’ve done studies to death,” he added.
Rev your engines, Soup Box Derby racers, as yearly event approaches The annual Soup Box Derby will be held a bit earlier this year, so racers should begin building their car soon, according to a Thursday news release. “A new date this year may catch people off guard, so race organizers want to give plenty of notice,” the news release said. This year the race will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, August 17, in downtown Langley. The Soup Box derby has been a tradition since 1972, with only a few interruptions. Last year the event was canceled due to rain. Having the event earlier in the year may ensure better weather, organizers say. Entrants can be almost anything on wheels; even the wheels themselves can be just about anything—wagon, bicycles, tricycles, roller skates, wood, rubber or metal. The racer design is limited only by the imagination, but each must have brakes and can be no heavier than 600 pounds for adults and 300 pounds for drivers 12 and younger. The race begins at the top of First Street hill and runs down the steep incline for a long block. The vehicles can carry as many as four people, but all must wear helmets and sign injury waivers. The race can take 33 vehicles, and everyone goes home with a trophy. The event is sponsored by Langley Community Club and Langley Main Street Association. For details, contact Tucker Stevens 360-2214188 or Bob Dalton at 206-396-4148.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: GEMINI, CANCER, AND LEO.
Week of July 13 to 19, 2014 ARIES
Learn to channel your energy in a better way. Lots of people need you, and you tend to give body and soul to them, even if you exhaust yourself.
TAURUS
You find yourself shouldered with some heavy responsibilities that are not always very clear. Even at home, you have to decide who does what in order to avoid any sort of confusion.
GEMINI
You may come across a training program that suits you perfectly and that will guide you towards an exciting career. You begin to realize one of your biggest dreams.
CANCER
Even if you’re not on vacation, you need to have a change of air and get away from it all. You may devote yourself to learning a new language, especially if you’re planning a trip.
LEO
You have to let go of some of your emotions. You may want to isolate yourself; fortunately, your friends will know how to cheer you up.
VIRGO
Consult your doctor if you feel any sort of discomfort. You see through to peoples’ real motivations and create harmony around you. The atmosphere at work will improve, thanks to your efforts.
LIBRA
At work, you have lots of confusing details to sort out urgently before you can go on vacation. Be careful of infectious germs, especially when swimming.
SCORPIO
You love going to movies and shows, and you may even find yourself in the spotlight in some way. You demonstrate great creativity that shows you off to advantage.
SAGITTARIUS
You have to travel extensively for various reasons, even if you much prefer to relax in the comfort of your home. Family members need your help for one reason or another.
CAPRICORN
Take the time to prepare properly if you have to make a speech; improvising will likely leave you disappointed with the results. Your sensitivity helps resolve a situation of conflict.
AQUARIUS
You might have to walk on eggshells this week; being tactful will help you to avoid offending someone. You are brought face to face with an unexpected expense.
PISCES
A second cup of coffee is going to help you start the week off on the right foot. Your mind spins with lots of ideas and you won’t always know where to start.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e 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 c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g 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.
