Langley glass artist ‘experiences’ success By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Waiting at the register in a little Langley art studio on Second Street, 11-year-old Ellie Bloom stands within a wilderness of color. She is surrounded. In every direction rest sparkling works of handmade blown glass. Bowls, cups, exotic fish, paper weights, jewelry; the stuff is even on the walls. Walking into the shop is like walking into a rainbow. Yet, somehow, Bloom’s smile has become the brightest spot in the room. She has just completed her very own glass bowl. It’s her first and her pleasure is so apparent, so infectious, bystanders can’t help but break out in smiles of their own. It’s a common reaction at Callahan’s Firehouse Studio and Gallery. Set up in the city’s old fire station, shop owner Callahan McVay not only sells his own work but he makes it in the studio before an often gawking audience. “It’s so powerful they forget to buy something,” McVay laughed. Whether it’s the unobstructed view of the visual goodies inside, a result of the building’s double-wide garage doors, or the soft roar of the 2,150-degree furnace, people
just can’t help but wander in and watch him work. But that’s not the sole secret to his success nor is it the source of Bloom’s grin. McVay has put a fresh spin on a 3,000-year-old art form and managed to hammer out a successful business during one of the worst economic periods in 100 hundred years by allowing customers to blow their own glass. For 10 to 30 minutes, both children and adults can make a variety of their own products — bowls, Texas tumblers, sea floats, etc. — under the personal tutelage of the Whidbey glass master himself. McVay insists they aren’t classes, rather, he says he sells “experiences.” And they are selling like hotcakes. He estimates that his shop does between 20 and 30 experiences a week at $65 a pop, or in this case, a blow. During the busy summer months, McVay said it represents about 50 percent of his total business. The rest is made up of inventory sales and contract work, such as holding private workshops for commercial businesses. He recently did a workshop focused on team building for Alstom, a national See Glass, A8

LANGLEY — Fewer students means less money for the South Whidbey School District next year, about $200,000 less. The school district eliminated a handful of teaching positions to soften the blow of what originally was $1 million in cuts. Reductions totaling $300,000 to classified staff such as para educators and support were also made, as was the termination of the district’s transportation and maintenance supervisor. This coming school year, the district has $14.9 million to work with after the school board unanimously approved the budget, 4-0. Board Chairman Steve Scoles was absent at the board’s business meeting last Wednesday night. Part of the budget includes the contracts with the district’s principals and school directors, which were approved at the meeting, too. District Superintendent Jo Moccia said the contracts save the district in health insurance costs, which pleased one multi-term school board member. “This is moving us where we’ve wanted to go for quite some time,” said Board Member Fred O’Neal. “Which is acrossthe-board equity for health insurance.” Another change for next year will be the purchase of three school buses. The 77, 36 and 20-passenger buses will roll on the South End for the 2013-2014 school year. Board member Damian Greene asked Dan Poolman, the district’s assistant superintendent who also handles the transportation director duties, what the deciding factors were between the Class C purchases South Whidbey will make and Class D options. Class D buses, according to the state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, have the service entrance door ahead of the front wheels. “We felt like we didn’t need more of those (D) models,” Poolman said, adding that the district owns six Class D buses. As a cost-saving measure, the district has consolidated some of its operations and facilities.

Legh W. Burns will step down after years with the Saratoga Chamber Orchestra.
Saratoga Chamber Orchestra director steps down After seven decades of musical contribution to the community, Saratoga Chamber Orchestra Artistic Director and Conductor Legh W. Burns has announced he is stepping down from both positions, effective November 2012. Burns, who founded the orchestra in 2007, has been diagnosed with macular degeneration, which adversely affects his vision, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. “It was beginning to affect my ability to rehearse effectively,” he said in a release. “The orchestra clearly deserves better.” He will make one more appearance, conducting the first concert of the 2012-2013 season on Sunday, Nov. 4 at South Whidbey High School in Langley. The balance of the 2012-2013 season will be led by guest conductors and plans to appoint a new music director have begun. “I’m excited about the future of the orchestra,” Burns said. “Our board of directors and advisory committee are dedicated not only to the sustainability, but the growth of Saratoga Chamber Orchestra, and to raising our standard of performance even higher. I am in full support of their efforts.” Board of Directors President Michael Lauver said he was sad to see “Maestro Burns” step away from the podium. “Legh Burns was the driving force behind the establishment of Saratoga Chamber Orchestra and has led them to heightened levels of performance. Legh’s passion for music, artistic ability and commitment to excellence have been a blessing for classical music lovers on Whidbey Island,” said Lauver in a press release. “The board and Orchestra Advisory Committee are making careful plans for the selection of a new conductor. We want to make sure that our conductor will be a dynamic leader, an integral part of the community and provide our audiences with the same superb performances they have enjoyed under the baton of Maestro Burns.” For details, visit www.saratogachamber orchestra.org.

Law & justice tax refusal sparks turmoil Commissioner’s letter leads to hard feelings By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
The strained relationship between key law-and-justice figures and the Island County commissioners was evident at a charged meeting this past Wednesday that culminated when an administrative assistant was cut off while reading Commissioner Angie Homola’s letter to the board. “I don’t think it’s right for her to send a proxy in here to read a letter with the purpose of throwing the blame around,” Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said during the Law and Justice Council meeting. Homola is a member of the council, but didn’t attend because of an out-of-town engagement. She sent an employee from the commissioners’ office to read a letter in her stead. The quarreling continued after the meeting in email exchanges among Law and Justice Council members which were critical of Homola. Some members of the county’s Law and Justice Council are frustrated that commissioners aren’t willing to place a measure on this year’s general election ballot to ask voters to raise sales tax to provide extra funding to police, courts, prosecutors and other criminal justice functions. The issue became personal last week when Banks sent out an agenda for the Law and Justice Council including a statement decrying the “inflammatory remarks” made by a commissioner, as reported in the Whidbey News-Times and South Whidbey Record. Banks, a

Democrat, didn’t name the commissioner, but he was clearly referring to Homola, also a Democrat. During a board discussion about a proposed sales tax increase, Homola suggested that members of the council “have acted in a childish manner, and have been uncooperative,” according to Banks’ interpretation of her comments. “I honestly do not know where that comes from. It seemed to me that we had an open and mature discussion, where opposing positions were presented, and a consensus by overwhelming majority was achieved on a recommendation,” he wrote. “Perhaps it is just politics triumphing over problem-solving in an election year.” Wednesday, the Law and Justice Council was scheduled to discuss the next step after the commissioners rejected placing the tax increase on this year’s ballot. But the discussion was derailed when the administrative assistant got up to read the letter from Homola. The letter states that Homola took the council’s letter to the commissioners seriously, but she urges a collaborative approach to find a funding solution that will help all the struggling county departments. The council voted to send a letter to the commissioners requesting that they place a measure on the ballot to raise sales tax for the sole purpose of funding criminal justice departments. Homola stressed that budget problems are facing the entire county. She wrote that she “takes exception” with the prosecutor’s and sheriff’s the

comments that the commissioners are doing nothing about the situation; she outlined the many steps she’s taken to deal with the situation. “This dire situation is not a surprise. After I took office, I shared the forecasts with the sheriff over three years ago and asked that he please look out several years which he was not willing to do,” the letter states. As this was said, Banks interrupted the letter reading and argued it wasn’t appropriate for the discussion, especially since Homola wasn’t present. “I don’t think it’s right to criticize the sheriff by letter,” he said. Sheriff Mark Brown said he wasn’t offended by the letter and he welcomes tough discussions, but he said it should be done face to face. Commissioner Kelly Emerson, who’s not a member of the council but watched the meeting via video from the Camano Annex, offered to explain her reasons for opposing the ballot measure, but the members urged her to write a letter instead. In the end, the council voted to table a resolution expressing regret that no action was taken on the sales tax proposal and urging that some action be taken whidbey

at the earliest possible time. The resolution will be discussed at the next meeting, after the members have read Homola’s letter and the letter that Emerson promised. After the meeting, Banks sent out an email to council members with links to a recording of the board of commissioners’ work session at which they discussed and rejected the proposed ballot measure. In a separate email, he questioned Homola’s claim that the board has been working to find a way to garner widespread support for a ballot measure. He wrote that he’s not aware of any such discussions. “If those efforts were undertaken privately by Commissioner Homola, they were not made known to me,” he wrote. Friday, Brown sent Homola an unusually harsh email and copied it to members of the Law and Justice Council. “Might I suggest you spend less time attacking the prosecutor and myself as being ‘divisive’ and use your energy to work with your fellow commissioners to decide if what we say has merit or not,” he wrote.

NEWSLINE | WEATHER REPORT: Partly sunny today with a high of 63, clouds overnight. Chance of rain Thursday. Mostly sunny Friday with a high of 72. SCHOOLS GREENBANK SWHS sports costs Man allegedly rise $25-$40 wields machete South Whidbey athletics fees will increase this year to cover the district’s budget cuts and rising transportation costs. Football fees cost $90 — all sports previously cost $50 — and all other sports fees are $75. Associated Student Body cards, which admit students into games and reduce the cost of dance tickets, among other student life events, will remain at $25. Athletics fees are due Sept. 4. The district’s leadership, including the board, superintendent and principals, debated the formula for increasing athletics fees. Early in the process, a general $100 cost was proposed until the superintendent chose the current rates.
A 25-year-old man accused of assaulting a teenage girl with a machete in Greenbank is wanted on a $100,000 warrant, court documents show. Prosecutors charged the machete-wielding man, Cory Michaud of Oak Harbor, in Island County Superior Court on July 19 with two counts of assault in the second degree with a deadly weapon. A judge approved the warrant for his arrest this same day. The incident occurred after a 39-year-old Greenbank man gave a 15-year-old neighbor girl a ride home from a transit stop July 6. When the car pulled into the driveway, they encountered the girl’s boyfriend, Michaud, who was clearing

vegetation with a machete. Michaud apparently got angry at seeing the girl in a car with a man and started hitting the car with his machete, according to the deputy’s report. The driver got out of his car to confront Michaud, but the girl tried to intervene. She attempted to take the machete from Michaud, but he was swinging it and cut her finger, the report states. Another neighbor drove the girl to the hospital, where a doctor stitched her finger. The girl’s mother said Michaud had been living with them. She was trying to get her daughter to stop using methamphetamine and found that she was doing better and coming home since Michaud was staying there.
COUNTY Land values drop about 10 percent Property tax valuation notices will be mailed to all Island County residential property owners Aug. 1, reports Island County Assessor Mary Engle. Most people will notice their property is worth less. “It is always hard to predict overall averages as some neighborhoods hold their values and some don’t,” Engle said. “Having said that, generally waterfront land is holding its value county-wide. Generally, land took a drop in value on the average of 10 percent except in towns.” These notices will provide taxpayers with the Assessor’s opinion of value on residential properties. This value represents market value as of Jan. 1, 2012, based on market evidence from sales occurring in 2011.
Commercial properties will be mailed value notices in mid August along with new construction value notices. Engle encourages taxpayers to call the Assessor’s Office with any concerns or questions about their property values. “Appraisers are happy to talk with you about how they established the market value of your property,” she said. To reach the appraiser assigned to your area, call 360-679-7303 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Engle added that taxpayers have 30 days from the date of mailing listed on the notice to appeal their property value with the local board of equalization. Appeal information will be on the mailing notice and on the Assessor’s website.

Campaign sign misplaced To the editor: Readers may remember my sounding the alarm about the apparent takeover by the Tea Party of the U.S. Postal Service. How else to explain the Lauderdale campaign sign on the corner of the Freeland post office. I’m pleased to see that it has been removed — by somebody. However, the Tea Party coup d’etat is still in full swing on the South End. It looks like the Tea Party has now taken over the South Whidbey School District, the school board, or at least Bayview School. On Wednesday, July 25, there was a Lauderdale campaign sign on the property (photos available). Now, I know that Lauderdale is a great respecter of public property (assuming it’s not for public conservation or recreation), so he surely wouldn’t put his sign there unless he had either purchased the property or had explicit permission, would he? Now, I haven’t heard that the school district has sold the land to the Tea Party, so I have to assume that when no one was watching, the district or school board gave him permission. After all, Jeff Lauderdale, Kelly Emerson, and their Tea Party minions wouldn’t do anything illegal now, would they, give or take an occasional building code and wetland violation. Steve Erickson Langley
It’s the law in all 50 states To the editor: Two recent letters to this paper have accused Helen Price Johnson of “tax and spend.” This leads me to ask the question, Since when does a county commissioner have that kind of power? The statement was in reference to what would happen if someone couldn’t meet the terms of a property contract or taxes on same. The writer didn’t like her response to the effect that the property owner could risk losing the property. The truth is that the response to such a situation would be the same in all 50 states. I’m sure if Ms. Price Johnson made that statement, it wasn’t vindictive. She is many times over the best person for the job she currently holds as county commissioner. In the first place, “tax and spend” is not what has this country in dire straits. It is “borrow and spend.” If you need proof of this statement, check the size of the national debt, which is a matter of public record. Check on that along with which presidents ran up the debt. Then write the editor again and truthfully report what you found. Helen Price Johnson is the right person for
the position of county commissioner. We certainly don’t need another Tea Party candidate. The accomplishments of the Tea Party can be summed up in one word: “Gridlock.”

Gordon can make District 1 ‘safe’ To the editor: One cannot help just watching in amazement at all the runners in this latest race to be an Island County Commissioner. Only two of them, Angie Homola and Helen Price Johnson, really know what it means to be a commissioner. They have been working in that extraordinarily tough environment for the last several years. Both of these ladies have not had enough and have thrown their bonnets in the ring again. Good for them! What remains to be seen is whether they will rise to the top again by getting enough votes to compete in the general election. But who will they compete against if they do get those votes?

that really has a clue as to what he would be getting into and that is Curt Gordon, who is running in District 1. He has been involved for decades in managing local government in partnership with Island County government as a parks commissioner and as a port commissioner, both elected positions. What is really great about Curt is he is not tied to all the B.S. that our main political parties seem to be wrapped up in. He measures success of government by how it helps the average person and how decisions that are made impact our economic and social well-being on this island. Voting for him in the primary would make for a good race with Helen. Most importantly, it would be a race that no matter who won, we the citizens would be “safe” in having chosen someone right for the job.

Find out who’s selling candidates To the editor: A lot of people blame the U.S. Supreme Court for damaging our democratic election process by giving corporations more influence, but this is true only to a degree. Corporations and wealthy individuals have been influencing elections for a long time. The means to nullify that influence has been at our fingertips for a long time, as well, but few people seem to use it. Anyone who can type “www.pdc.wa.gov” into a web browser can tell who is trying to sell you a “product” in a few minutes. Every candidate for public office must disclose his/her contributors, by name and amount, to the Public Disclosure Commission. For every office, the first page of contributors for any candidate or ballot initiative will reveal the top contributors. If you trust those contributors’ personal or business ethics, then it’s up to your judgment. If not, then be very afraid of what that candidate or initiative will do, or not do, for you. If you can’t research the PDC website yourself, then ask anyone who comes to your door on behalf of a candidate or ballot initiative to show you the first page of contributors to the campaign. You will save a lot of time and learn a lot more than by listening to some stranger who may not know any more than you do. Jim Bruner Oak Harbor
Price Johnson means ‘community’ To the editor: When I hear the word “community,” I think of Helen Price Johnson. Community is what Helen is all about. She cares for her community and all the people in it. You might find her judging an alpaca show wearing a funny costume, or singing for a talent show for Good Cheer, or directing an orchestra as a guest conductor. Wherever things are going on in our community you’ll find her participating, being a good sport and an active part of the community. You also might find her checking out a controversial drainage area during a walk with her friends or sitting over coffee listening to a community member who has concerns, then taking that knowledge back to her office to work on doing something about it. Her mind is always on the job and how she can best serve this community that she loves. She is out there in our community as our county commissioner working hard to represent all of us in the best way she can. She has been doing a good job on this for four years now, and I’m hoping to see her keep on for four more. Diane Fraser Langley

Numbers spike for South Whidbey tennis program BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
LANGLEY — For the past few weeks, the tennis courts at South Whidbey High School have been packed with kids. The USTA Junior Team Tennis program on South Whidbey has drawn some off-island interest, too. USTA clubs in Bellevue and the Puget Sound area have asked Karyle Kramer, the organizer of the 10-andunder and 11- to 18-year-old teams, what her secret is. She said there’s no secret to it. “I think word has gotten out that our high school programs have a no-cut policy,” said Kramer, who also coaches the high school boys and girls tennis teams. “So every player who wants to learn the game is encouraged to try it.” “It allows them to try a sport based on their interest, not whether they’ve played before and are super talented at it.”

South Whidbey is a victim of its own success and has struggled to find another team nearby with as many players. That’s fine, because players divide into doubles team, including some mixed with a boy and a girl, to cover the seven courts. The squads are divided by skill level, so the high school singles champion isn’t crushing an 11-year-old picking up a racquet for the first time sort of an iron sharpens iron philosophy.

equipment and services company in the power generation and rail transportation business. While do-it-yourself glass blowing has attracted a smorgasbord of customers, McVay says children seem to make the best students. They take instruction better and tend to be less afraid of working the gummy 2,000-degree glass. “Plus, you can see that spark; they are really getting something out of it,” he said. McVay is really a Whidbey Island success story. The local boy has been blowing glass for more than 25 years and studied with masters all over the world. Although he spent his youth as a commercial fisherman in Alaska, a twist of fate threw him into the glass business full time. Working in wholesale — producing pieces at home and selling it in various markets — he enjoyed a wide degree of success. At one time, his work was sold in more than 150 galleries across the country. “I wore a suit, I had business cards and everything,” McVay said. His business crashed at the start of the recession, and in a move of desperation, he started selling the blow-your-own glass experiences. He’d seen similar models elsewhere and dove in. It was a hit. “People were excited about it,” he said. “They paid twice as much and did their own work.” In July 2009, he opened the Firehouse. Selling experiences made up the bulk of his sales initially as he had yet to build an inventory. The gallery is now filled with everything from large multi-piece artistic bowls to seasonal pieces, such as the fiery-orange pumpkins he mass produces for Halloween. It’s no surprise that his shop has seen

Even the Seattle-based firm the city hired to redesign the street has noticed. The company recently released conceptual drawings of various designs for the street and one depicts a wide cobble stone-style crosswalk that practically leads right to McVay’s front door. McVay said he’s been through a lot peaks and valleys over the years. And given his recent success, he admits he sometimes worries what tomorrow might bring for his “exclusive, international gallery” in Langley. “My retirement is going to be a mini storage full of pumpkins,” he laughed. But whatever surprises the future may bring, McVay is confident he will do what he loves: creating art and showing people the joys of an ancient and beautiful art form.

Readiness To Learn Foundation presents annual Back To School Project BY READINESS TO LEARN STAFF
Although summer is in full swing, volunteers of the Back To School Project are already thinking ahead to the first day of school. “The financial strain of purchasing the supplies needed to start a new school year can cause great stress for many families. It is difficult to afford these items and to replace the clothing their children have worn out or outgrown especially if a family is already having trouble paying rent, a power bill, or worse, is experiencing homelessness,” said Gail LaVassar, Readiness To Learn Foundation’s executive director. According to the project’s coordinator, Lauri Johnson, the average cost for a backpack and school supplies is $114, depending on the child’s grade level. “This does not include clothing, gym shoes, or any other necessities,” she said. The Back To School Project will assist several hundred children before the first day of school on Sept. 4. That leaves just 30 days to collect supplies and raise $14,000. The generosity of community volunteers and donors has sustained the Back To School Project each fall, and in this 14th year is once again asking for help to provide new school supplies and clothing gift cards to eligible families. Every year parents and students write “thank you” notes expressing their appreciation for the help. One student wrote, “Thank you! My little brother uses the donated items and now he’s not embarrassed to go back to school.” Another said, “Thank you for all these cool things now I am really excited for school. Thanks a lot!” A recent widow wrote, “Thank you so much for the school supplies for my two children. I really appreciate your help during a time of recovery for the loss of a father.” Local churches and service organizations are already gearing up to assist, and collection boxes will be available this coming week in retail stores for the community to contribute. Items most in need are new backpacks, binders, markers and pencil boxes, just to name a few. Flyers with the complete

Freeland offers new blend of
art “Comfort, Companionship and Counsel,” acrylic painting, fourth in the series “The Dark Forest – A Fable,” by Karin Bolstad.
Schouten offers mixed media During August, the gallery will feature the acrylic and mixed media paintings of Karin Bolstad and the mixed media sculptures of Dan Freeman. A professional sculptor since 1972, Freeman’s work is shown throughout the Northwest. Freeman describes his work as “dreaming with my eyes open.” Using elements found in nature combined with the textures of glass and steel, his creations celebrate the whole of human experience. “My work is a continuing self-portrait. It’s human. It’s what holds me together — a little bit of color and tension,” Freeman said. Bolstad’s lush paintings are done with acrylic paint and mixed media inclusions and are rich in symbolism. “The paintings I am exhibiting illustrate how challenges are growth opportunities, using the archetypal Hero’s Journey and Dante’s classic ‘The Divine Comedy’ as the framework, and fueled by my own personal experiences,” Bolstad said. This exhibition will open in conjunction with First Fridays at the Farm Art and Wine Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3. The artists will be in attendance and all can enjoy the electric cello of Siri Bardarson. Rob Schouten Gallery, a premier showcase for Whidbey Island and Northwest artists, is located at the Greenbank Farm. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Christina Moats opened the only art gallery in Freeland in June. Christina’s Island Real Estate & Fine Art features a variety of island artists, including Carlos Xavier, who makes the wooden flutes in the center photo and offers a free lesson with each purchase.
By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter
Real estate and art. If it seems they have nothing in common, Christina Moats will prove that wrong with her new Freeland business, Christina’s Island Real Estate & Fine Art. Moat’s business is the only art gallery in Freeland. Walking into the business located at 1592 E. Main St. across the street from Payless is like walking into a fancy art gallery. Blown glass vases sit on handmade wood tables below paintings and photographs of local scenes and images from artists’ imaginations. In one corner, sits Moats’ desk where she conducts her real estate work. “My idea was that people who can afford to buy real estate can buy art,” Moats said. All she needs for her real estate work is a computer and copy machine, so why not fill the rest of her space
with art and promote local artists, too? “Hopefully people who come in to buy real estate on Whidbey will buy Whidbey art,” Moats added. Moats moved to Whidbey in 1985 to get away from the busy city life. “I just love the community of people we have here and how people are so willing to help each other,” Moats said. To Moats, being a real estate broker is all about helping people. “Especially in this economy, when you’re helping someone sell a house they thought they’d spend the rest of their lives in, that can be really hard,” Moats said. Moats’ goal is to stay upbeat and positive as she helps people buy and sell homes and art. She’s a one woman business, a status she worked hard to achieve. She’s been buying and selling property since 1987 and earned her broker’s license in 2009. Generally, a broker must work for another
real estate business for three years before opening their own, but Moats got a variance from the state to open her own business. “I like having a small firm, just me right now,” Moats said, adding that it allows her to give clients more individualized attention. Unlike typical co-op galleries, Moats doesn’t require the artists to work in the gallery. She also doesn’t charge a commission. “So a lot of people said that makes the art more affordable,” Moats said. She also offers free advertising for the artists in real estate publications. All of the artists came to her through ads she placed on Drew’s List, an email list distributed by Drew Kampion. In return, Moats held a fundraiser for Drew’s List in June because the list is funded by donations and Moats said she respects how much time and thought Kampion puts into his work. She hopes to continue to hold fundraisers twice yearly.
“They’re just a nice bunch of people,” Moats said of the variety of artists represented in the gallery. Offering photography that he’s turned into hangings and relights is Don Wodjenski.

Then she returns home and delivers the materials to homebound women who make shadowboxes with sayings out of the materials. “So these are women who live in extreme poverty and could never have money without what they sell through the Blessing Project,” Moats said. All of the money raised goes toward purchasing more materials from women in poverty.

So we’re giving everybody a fair chance to be seen,” Moats said. Moats said she plans for the art and real estate portions of her business to help each other, as she helps the community. She has countless stories of assisting community members during housing struggles. One of her favorites is about a Navy man. “He had never had a home. He’d lived on ships and bases the whole 20 years and he wanted to have a dog,” Moats said. She searched for homes for him for months in between deployments and finally found a home in Oak Harbor. “He was so happy to finally have a home,” Moats said. When he drove to meet her and she saw a cute dog in the car, that was the icing on the cake for Moats. “That’s why I’m in real estate. To help people do those kinds of things. And to help them become a part of the community and learn about Whidbey,” Moats said. When people visit the gallery, Moats said she hopes they come in looking for gifts. With such a variety of types of art, Moats said she’s sure people will find what they’re looking for. “My real estate business is about helping people through challenging parts of their lives through giving them personalized, individual attention, and helping the artists along the way,” Moats said. Moats has room for more artists. Specifically, she would like to find watercolor, ceramics and clothing artists. For more information and gallery hours, call the gallery at 221-0989.

Groundskeeper works to preserve Greenbank Farm’s history By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
At one time the Greenbank Farm was home to more than 100 acres of loganberries, which made it the largest grower of the raspberry/blackberry hybrid in the country. Now, however, the Greenbank Farm is down to one patch that covers about a half an acre. The farm’s groundskeeper, Paula Sherwood, has been working to improve the conditions at the patch, which would mean more loganberries; however, she is struggling to find volunteers to help with the labor-intensive work that is needed. She has been busy for the past several years trying to remove the weeds that are growing in the patch along with the plants. The weed pulling has proven to be time intensive and is one of the more immediate issues that is threatening the berries. When Sherwood started work two years ago on the loganberry patch, it was overgrown with grass and weeds. It had been several years since anyone had tended to the patch. It was tough to knock down the weeds and grass without further damaging the berries. She had to get organic soil from Mount Vernon and there is a continual drainage problem at the patch. Despite the decline of the loganberry at the Greenbank Farm, it still maintains a visible part of Whidbey Island. The Greenbank Farm hosted its annual Loganberry Festival last weekend, and Sherwood
is willing to take visitors into the patch to collect ripened berries. “It’s a nice walk through history,” Sherwood said. In addition to the popular festival, area businesses use the loganberries to produce pies, wine and a liqueur. The current loganberry patch was planted at the Greenbank Farm about 10 years ago, said Michael Seraphinoff, a Greenbank resident who was part of the volunteer group that planted the loganberries. He managed the patch for about five years. He had tried to find someone a bit younger to take over the responsibility but couldn’t find anyone willing. His work on the patch ended in about 2007. Seraphinoff said he was disappointed not to see many people on the island get excited about loganberries. He said the farm used to grow about 140 acres of the luscious loganberries. However, in the 1990s, before the farm became publicly owned, the previous owner started pulling the bushes out of the ground. Sherwood has had some help with the farm’s loganberries. The farm received an anonymous donation and she said the head of the farmer training center provided tips to help improve the patch. In addition, she found an area resident who is willing to provide her with plants that will help fill in the gaps. “To find those was kind of a cool blessing,” Sherwood said. Judy Feldman, manager of the Greenbank Farm, said there was talk of having
Brought to you by:
the farmer training center students help out with the patch, but that it would be difficult to incorporate it into the students’ coursework. The training center is just one of the changes that have taken place at the farm over the years. In addition to the students, the farm is also home to art galleries, several small businesses and a newly installed solar power array. Sherwood said she would like the grass in the loganberry patch removed because it competes with the bushes for the water and nutrients. Ideally, she would like to see the patch moved up the hill where the drainage is better. She is also looking for volunteers to help control the weeds in the current patch. She noted that the work is time consuming and labor intensive. For more information about volunteering at the loganberry patch, contact Sherwood at 206-713-9024.

Analyze Price Carefully!
What’s the right price to pay for your next home? How can you be sure the price you are being asked to pay is fair? Who sets the price? The asking price is set by the owners, and should be based on accurate information about other homes recently sold, as well as those for sale now. This information is helpful in establishing a price that is neither above nor below “fair market value” When priced at “fair market” a home may sell quickly and a full price. This occurs because buyers recognize the value offered by the home in relation to the price asked. There is often brisk competition among buyers for a home in excellent condition offered at a competitive price. Buyers can determine whether a home is priced fairly using the same methods as an agent – by comparison Establish criteria for your purchase, i.e. number of rooms, location, price range, square footage, etc. Once you know the parameters within which you will make sure your purchase, ask the agent to show you homes that match your list of features and amenities. See a variety of homes, compare size, features and location versus asking price. Certain homes will stand out because they offer added value for the price. Ask questions, compare and your pricing concerns can disappear leading to the wise purchase of the right home.

North Whidbey Olympian takes home bronze in judo By JIM WALLER Staff reporter
Oak Harbor’s Marti Malloy surprised the judo world by capturing a bronze medal in the Olympic Games Monday, but she didn’t surprise herself or those around her. Heading into the games, Malloy, ranked 10th in the world in the 57kg (125-pound) class, said she was ready and peaking at the right time and a medal was certainly within reach. USA Olympic judo coach Jimmy Pedro said he liked Malloy’s chances going into the tournament, and back home, her original sensei, George Morse, was also confident. Malloy began her judo journey when she was six years old, and Morse saw something special even then. He liked her qualities — quiet, respectful and hard-working. He said, “She was always eager and enthusiastic, willing to work and to
help others. She gives as much as she gets.” Many didn’t expect Malloy to make it out of the first round at the Olympics. She opened against the world’s second-ranked athlete, Telma Monteiro of Portugal, someone who had defeated Malloy in three previous matches. This time, however, Malloy won. Two other wins followed before she lost with seven seconds left in the semifinal match. In the bronze medal bout, she defeated defending Olympic champion Guilia Quintavalle. Malloy said she had never faced Quintavalle before and was a “huge fan” of hers since Quintavalle won the 2008 Games. Malloy’s bronze was just the second judo medal ever won by an American female and the USA’s 11th overall. Malloy said losing in the semifinals and having to come back
for the next bout was the “hardest thing in the world.” She added, “You are the unhappiest you have ever been and have to flip it over and get confidence and get focused and believe you are going to win the next match.” After the win, she told King 5: “It’s the weirdest sensation. Absolute, complete shock. Not because I didn’t think I could do it, but in the manner I did it, so decisively. I was completely shocked but at the same time, I was entirely ecstatic.” Malloy’s father, Marty, told the Associated Press, “All I can ever remember about my daughter is going to judo tournaments since she was six.” He followed her to London and now is “going to have a beer in her honor.” Marti Malloy, 26, said she is not sure if she will attempt to qualify for the 2016 Olympic games. First
she would like to win the world championship. “That is all we dream about,” she said. Morse said he could see a little of himself out on the mat when he watched Malloy compete Monday: “We (coaches) all see that.” He said it was a good feeling and it wouldn’t be possible “if it wasn’t for the pupil.” Morse said, “We knew Marti would be successful at something, we just didn’t know what.” Now we do. Another Olympian with Whidbey roots, Adrienne Lyle, is competing in the dressage equestrian competition in London. She is the daughter of Greg and Anne Lyle of Clinton. Contributed photo

Brackenwood features haunts
Encaustic, stone, fiber join at Museo
Brackenwood Gallery in downtown Langley features Pete Jordan’s oil paintings and watercolors. The show continues through Aug. 27. This show features both island landscapes and paintings of appealing objects the artist has accumulated over the years. From old gas cans sitting on a porch to magnificent vistas, Jordan captures a scene and takes the viewer there. Jordan loves nature, which comes through in his landscapes. Although he is a master at lighting, what drives this artist is the subject matter. This time, he has concentrated on items he collects or uses in his daily life as well as favorite haunts on Whidbey. A reception is set for 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 4. Brackenwood Gallery is located at 302 First St. in Langley. For more information, call 221-2978 or visit www. brackenwoodgallery.com.
August at Museo in downtown Langley features popular gallery artists David Price and Deloss Webber. Price will show a variety of his new paintings in encaustic. Webber will exhibit exciting new works in stone and fiber. The show opens with an artists reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 4. The exhibit will run through Aug. 27. For more information, call 221-7737 or visit www. museo.cc.

Acrylic and mixed media artist Judith Burns will be featured at Artworks Gallery during August. While living on Whidbey, Burns has been fascinated by its variety of birds. “From the small hummingbirds that flock to my back porch to the large herons I see on the edge of the road, I try to capture in color and collage the beauty of these feathered inhabitants who share Whidbey with us,” Burns said. Meet the artist during the First Friday reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3. Live music will be provided by violinist Bev Heising. Wine tasting is available. Artworks Gallery offers a range of fine art gifts from the group of artists in this cooperative gallery. The gallery is at Greenbank Farm and is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, and closed Wednesdays. For more information, visit artworks whidbey.com or call 360-222-3010.
Simple delights are in Langley Barbara Mearing is the featured artist through August at Whidbey Art Gallery in Langley. Mearing works in pastels, acrylics and colored pencils. “I paint for the simple pleasure of it, or as the song says to ‘fill up my senses.’ My subjects are ordinary things: simple objects, flowers, local scenes, and serendipitous, suddenly realizing the scene in front of me is beautiful,” Mearing said. Meet her at the art opening from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 4. Whidbey Art Gallery is located at 220 Second St. in Langley. For more information, visit www.whidbey artists.com.
