Ordinance A perfect day at the beach could protect historic homes By Elisabeth Murray Staff Reporter
A leaking roof, broken window or missing door on a historic structure could cause damage that is expensive or impossible to fix, leading to a property owner’s decision to tear the building down rather than spend money repairing it. The Coupeville Town Council is hoping a new ordinance will reduce the chance that the second-oldest town in Washington will lose more of its historic buildings to “demolition by neglect.” Current town code does not prevent the owner of a historic building from allowing it to fall victim to the ravages of weather and lack of maintenance. The ordinance to be considered soon would require historic structures be maintained to prevent deterioration. It also would allow a building inspector right of entry at least once a year to inspect a historic structure, with either the consent of the property owner or a written warrant. If significant problems are found, the owner would be required to make repairs. If the owner failed to do so, the town could choose to fix the problems and assess the owner a financial penalty. That scenario would be a last resort, town planner Larry Kwarsick said. “We want to do this in a way to encourage appropriate action and not seem punitive,” he said, adding that crafting the ordinance will be a challenge. Other communities have taken a variety of approaches to address the issue. For example, the town could initiate the maintenance or repair and add the cost to the owner’s property-tax bill, like any other tax lien. The risk, however, is that the property owner might not pay. If the property goes into default, the town could get stuck with a neglected historic structure that costs a lot to maintain – and that no one wants to buy due to concern over strict government rules regarding that maintenance. “It is not the intention or desire of the town for this to happen,” Kwarsick said. The town has had procedures and standards in place to protect historically significant properties from demolition, but they haven’t always been effective. In 2008, for example, the historic Vaughn house, built in 1910, was demolished to make room for a new house. The board then in place to review demolition applications – the Coupeville Design Review Board – approved the demolition because restoring the historic building would have been too costly. Town code at the time also included penalties for instances in which a historic propSee HISTORIC, page 5

Sunday’s hot weather was the perfect time for a stroll on the beach at Ebey’s Landing, where the temperature was a good 10 degrees cooler than it was in nearby Crockett Lake, which recorded a toasty 86 degrees. Sunny but cooler weather is expected to continue throughout the week, with temperatures expected in the 70s – just in time for this weekend’s Coupeville Arts Festival.
Coupeville may end park impact fee By Elisabeth Murray Staff Reporter
Before hammer can hit nail and drill can bite into wood, a fee to mitigate the impact of new home construction on parks, recreation and open space in Coupeville must be paid to Town Hall. But the impact fee may soon be suspended or dropped as the town updates the parks and recreation element of its comprehensive plan. Town planner Larry Kwarsick is in the process of determining if the town has enough parks, open space, and trails for Coupeville’s 1,800 residents. Kwarsick will compare the town’s current acreage with the goals set in the town’s comprehensive plan. According to the town website, there are currently 28.13 acres of parks in the town. This includes mini-parks, neighborhood and community parks and open space. “The town can only have (impact fees) if there is an unmet level of service,” Mayor Nancy Conard said. The fee – $870 for each new single-family home – goes into a parks fund that pays for
purchase of parkland and the cost of park improvements. The town began collecting the fee in 2001 on all new homes built within town limits. As of June 30, the park fund cash balance totaled $58,160. Money generated by the fee was used for the Broadway Trail, a gravel walkway along a portion of Broadway between Hwy. 20 and Madrona Way. It could also help pay for installation of a new viewing deck on Front Street in the two undeveloped lots between Toby’s Tavern and the Knead & Feed on Front Street – land that was donated to the town after being purchased by people who wanted to preserve it as open space. The town has yet to get estimates for in-
stallation of the deck, but Conard said the money in the park impact fund probably would not be enough to pay for the whole project. The town did make one mistake in using park impact fee revenue for a project – installation of a sidewalk on the south side of Coveland between Main and Grace streets – that the state Auditor’s Office later said did not qualify as a park. The town was required to refund the fee, plus interest, to the 14 property owners whose money had been used for the project. If all the property owners claim their cash, the refund will add up to $13,538. See PARK FEE, page 6

Getting into the spirit
Cause of boat fire remains a mystery
Covered in a mixture of tempura paint and water, Emilee Crichton, Kenzie Kooch, Sydney Aparicio, Julia Felici, Amanda Fabrizi and Madeline Roberts display battle “scars” from a water fight at a recent cheer camp. The squad is will have its first appearance of the 2012-13 school year at the opening football game Thursday, Aug. 30.
The mystery surrounding the fire onboard the Deep Sea has been solved. But three months after the vessel caught fire and sank in Penn Cove, officials have yet to make public any information about the cause of the inferno. The derelict crab fishing boat, which had been illegally moored in Penn Cove for almost five months, sank on May 13 after going up in flames the previous day. The Fire/Investigation Unit of the King County Sheriff’s Office was called in to investigate the cause of the blaze and they were able to “reach a definite conclusion,” according to Craig

Maps offer a guide to local birds By Betty Freeman Staff Reporter
On a perfect sunlit July day, the group of people gathered at the Dorothy Cleveland Trail at Possession Point State Park had one thing in common. They all love nature – especially birds. They were there to swap bird stories and witness the posting of two new color maps featuring stunning images of birds that can be seen from the popular South Whidbey hiking trail. The new maps at Possession Point are the work of Craig Johnson, a Freeland artist, bird lover, painter, photographer and graphic designer. Craig and his wife Joy are the co-authors of several books about the region’s birds including “Our Pacific Northwest Birds and Habitat,” released in 2011, and a delightful children’s book, “The Amazing Hummingbird Story of Red Rufous,” based on actual observations of a Red Rufous hummingbird nest in 2009. The Johnsons have a simple mission. “We want to connect people to birds and nature through art, writing, photography and educational presentations,” Craig Johnson said with a smile. The Johnsons’ most recent project involves designing brochures and maps to various bird-watching locations on Whidbey Island, such as the new map at Possession Point. To enhance observers’ enjoyment of birds at several Whidbey habitats, the pair designed four full-color brochures that are available at visitor centers, libraries and chambers of commerce throughout Whidbey. Birding spots on the North Whidbey map include West Beach, Joseph Whidbey State Park and Swan Lake. Central Whidbey’s Crockett Lake

Greenbank Farm has its own brochure, while Earth Sanctuary and the beaches at Possession Point and Double Bluff are featured in the South Whidbey version. Another comprehensive brochure lists all the best birding locations on both Whidbey and Camano Islands. “The brochures and maps represent three-and-ahalf years of photographing local birds,” Craig said. “We’ve found that once people start to notice and observe birds, they become enthusiasts,” he said. “We want to help them enjoy nature here on Whidbey as much as we do.” In 2008, the Johnsons contributed about 200 bird photos to the Whidbey Audubon Society for their online bird checklist, which can be accessed at whidbeyaudubon.org. Much of the cost of creating the brochures and maps was donated by the Johnsons, who make their living by selling their bird books, note cards and limited-edition prints of Craig’s intricate and detailed paintings. Their books and artwork can be found locally at book stores and Wild Birds Un-

The Whidey Audubon event is free. limited, or online at their website pugetsoundbackyardbirds.com. Designing the maps and brochures has given Craig Johnson a focus at a time in his life when his ability to move freely in nature as he once did has been severely challenged. Craig was diagnosed in late 2010 with a rare form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive, genetic disease of the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. Walking, standing and spending long hours at the computer all have been compromised. Trips to local habitats require a sturdy walking stick and bringing a white plastic chair along for frequent rests. His eyesight also is affected at times, and he wears dark glasses outside. However, his trained artist’s eye can still discern that the red Rufous hummingbird at his backyard feeder is molting. “He’s looking a little scruffy today,” Craig said. The artist says he has “good days and bad days.” “But we have a mission, so I push myself to keep going,” he said. “And there’s no way I could do what I do without Joy’s help and support.” There’s no map to the future for Craig and Joy Johnson, but they continue to dream of projects that are within Craig’s capabilities and that further their intention to educate and connect people to nature. Craig now uses a small video camera to record his observations, and he and Joy are thinking of creating a new book includes a companion DVD. “We don’t know how this disease will progress, we just know it will,” Craig said. “For now, we’re taking it one day at a time, and doing what we can.”

Island Thrift, community support safe driving Oh what a night! The good times were non-stop at IDIPIC’s Comedy, Canapés, Magic & More! June 30th at the Whidbey Playhouse. Thanks to a match by Island Thrift, the event raised nearly $10,000 for our DUI/Underage Drinking prevention work. Magic man JR Russell got the fun ball rolling, then the Whidbey Improv Team kept it going. Thanks to our sponsors and silent auction donors noted at idipic.org, helpers and audience: you all made it happen for ‘safer kids, safer roads.’ For making our fundraiser doubly successful, and for all the support Island Thrift gives our community, please consider donating and shopping at Island Thrift. To put a spin on an old African proverb: ‘It takes a village to change our part of the world for the better.’ Island Thrift does that over and over again by its support of so many community service groups.

Get levy facts before November election As fire chief, I believe it is important that our community receives accurate information about the capital projects we undertake on their behalf. Very simply, the land we purchase and the fire stations we build are done so in the interest of reaching you as quickly as possible when you call 911. South Whidbey Fire/EMS serves the largest fire district in the county, covering 66 square miles of land and 57 miles of shoreline. The number of fire stations we have, or plan to build, is directly related to the population of the communities we serve. We plan for new stations far in advance in order to pay cash where we can, which reduces the need to bond and pay interest on public safety projects. This saves our taxpayers money in the long-run. In addition, more than 75 volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) donate more than 25,000 hours each year to respond to emergency calls as opposed to full-time personnel. This saves our taxpayers $1.15 million in personnel costs. As a result of planning and financial pol-

Commissioners made right choice in opposing Supreme Court decision It was with pleasure and pride that I noted our recent Board of Island County Commissioners’ resolution supporting a Constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling permitting unlimited and undisclosed political campaign contributions. Counties, cities, and states across the land are registering their opposition to that Supreme Court decision. In Island County, Langley was the first town to go on record in defense of “we, the people,” and it is heartening that the Island County Commissioners were not far behind. My thanks go to Helen Price Johnson and Angie Homola for doing their part to limit the influence of money in politics. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Commissioner Kelly Emerson, who cast the dissenting vote. She doesn’t seem to realize that elected officials like herself have the most to lose from a “pay to play” system in which those with the most money can speak the loudest – and the rest of us can never learn the identity of those wealthy interests. Disclosure and transparency are the twin pillars of a democratic government. Kelly Emerson should have been helping to hold up those pillars instead of pushing them over. What can we expect from the Coupeville and Oak Harbor city councils? I look forward to hearing them debate this critical issue.

Share your opinions with Examiner readers The Whidbey Examiner welcomes letters to the editor. Letters express the views of their writers, not those of this newspaper or its employees. Letters should be factually accurate and reflect the original thoughts of a single writer. If your opinion differs from those you see printed, you’re encouraged to write a letter and give your perspective. Subject matter should be relevant to readers, provocative, constructive and timely. Passion is good. So is humor. Our first priority is to publish letters by local people that address local issues. We will publish letters on other subjects depending on available space. Letters that have been submitted to other local newspapers also receive lower priority. We do print brief “thank-you” letters when space is available, but letters about more in-depth concerns receive first priority. Sign your letter and include your street address and daytime and evening telephone numbers. Phone numbers are used for verifi-
cation only, and will not be published. All letters are subject to editing for length, content, grammar and punctuation. Letters must be submitted by 5 p.m. Monday to be considered for publication on Thursday. We strive to print all letters we receive, but publication is not guaranteed. Shorter letters of 250 words or less have a better chance of getting into print. That’s roughly the amount of double-spaced text that fits on a single page. Contact our office before submitting longer editorials to be considered for publication on the Viewpoints page. During election season, the Examiner receives a large volume of letters supporting or opposing candidates and various ballot issues. We will publish as many letters as space will allow, and post the remainder online at whidbeyexaminer.com. To submit a letter by e-mail, send it to news@whidbeyexaminer.com.

Shoreline program meetings set How people can use the bit of land where soil and water meet is the subject of an ongoing process of updating Island County’s Shoreline Management Program. The goal is to balance development with protection of the environment and natural resources. The program is undergoing a comprehensive update that is to be completed by the end of the year. Community discussions were held last winter on issues such as public access, shoreline residential development and shoreline stabilization. The county’s Shoreline Master Program has undergone a number of changes in recent years as a result of new state requirements, program Coordinator Karen Stewart said. Adopted in 1972, the state’s Shoreline Management Act seeks to prevent harm in “uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the state’s shorelines.” Island County is one of 39 counties in the state required by state law to adopt a local shoreline master program. The county’s program was first approved in 1976. The most recent version was approved by the state Department of Ecology in 2001 and includes many of Whidbey’s freshwater lakes as well. This month, local residents will have two opportunities to learn about the update. The first meeting is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 14 in the commissioners hearing room in the Island County Annex, 1 NE 6th St., Coupeville. The second is set for 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16 in the gym at Trinity Lutheran Church, 18341 Hwy. 525, Freeland. For information, contact Stewart at k.stewart@ co.island.wa.us or 360-6782348.

Concern about preserving the Joseph Libbey House on North Main Street prompted town officials to consider an ordinance to require minimum maintenance of historic structures.
Historic: From page 1 erty had been inappropriately demolished, whether through action or neglect. The town’s recent adoption of the Unified Design Review Guidelines for Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve – guidelines for review of projects within the Reserve that also were adopted by Island County – left out any reference to “demolition by neglect” and set the stage for the town to develop a new ordinance aimed at requiring people to maintain their historic structures. Concern over the possible loss of the 150-yearold Libbey House on North Main Street prompted the town to take action, Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard said. Owner Ted Clifton applied for a demolition permit in 2009, saying the required repairs would be too expensive and that the building was too fragile to be moved. Without a proper
foundation, the structure had deteriorated. Conard said that what many people consider property neglect would be far outside the scope of the proposed ordinance. For example, failing to keep a lawn mowed or leaving a building unoccupied would not qualify as demolition by neglect. “Most of what people are concerned about as neglect, isn’t,” Conard said. Examples of demolition
by neglect include failure to make repairs following a fire, or allowing a leaking roof to go unrepaired. Conard suggested that instead of establishing an ordinance, the council consider evaluating each incidence of neglect of a historic structure a case-by-case basis, as such situations happen only infrequently. One good option for the owners of historic properties is to seek a matching grant from the Ebey’s Forever Fund to help pay for repairs, Kwarsick said. The grant program helps the owners of historic buildings pay for repairs and maintenance. Coupeville Councilman Larry Cort said he would be willing to participate in a voluntary program to guarantee proper maintenance of his own historic home here in Coupeville. “I think a lot of folks – I could be wrong – have a certain amount of pride and would agree to a minimum amount of maintenance voluntarily,” Cort said. The council will continue reviewing the ordinance, and eventually will invite town residents to comment on it at a public hearing.

Preserving and Enhancing Whidbey Island Since 1989
Conard said Coupeville has been able to acquire property for parks without having to dip into the park fund. For example, 17 acres of open space at Krueger Farm were donated to the town by the landowner and by the Friends of Krueger Farm. Councilwoman Molly Hughes said she believes that in the interest of fairness to the people who have paid into the fund, the park impact fee should continue
to be collected. The town may want to increase its park offerings or make improvements to existing parks, Hughes said, and will need money to pay for it. But adding more parks or infrastructure means the town will have to foot the bill for increased maintenance, Conard said, as the park fund cannot be used for maintenance and repairs. In 1999, the town sur-
veyed the community’s views on parks through a questionnaire mailed to residents. Conard recommended asking the community to weigh in again on what they want in their parks, and how much they are willing to spend to care for them. Before seeking public input, the proposal to suspend or eliminate the park impact fee will first be considered by the town’s Parks and Recreation Commission.
The Veterans Resource Center of Whidbey Island has found a new home, enabling it to consolidate three existing facilities to one location. All services, programs and VRC operations are now located on the lower floor of American Legion Post 141 at 14096 Hwy. 525 in Bayview. During the transition, drop-in hours for visitors
will be from noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Wednesday. The veterans support group will meet from 6 to 7:30 p.m. each Tuesday. The VRC, which is a community-based nonprofit organization, helps veterans, their families and community members to understand the challenges of returning to civilian life from combat and/or military service and provides the support for this
to happen in a positive way. Donations and in-kind contributions go to serve the needs of veterans and their families in Island County communities. Call 360-3318081, email info@vrcwi.com or go to vetsresourcecenter. org for information. Volunteers are always appreciated. Contributions can be mailed to the Veterans Resource Center, P.O.

Golf course neighbors fret as well water levels drop By Elisabeth Murray Staff Reporter
Shannon Stone knows who is responsible for the water level in her well dropping three feet. Stone lives on Thunder Lane and is one of about 40 neighbors who have voiced concern over the Navy’s switch to local well water for irrigation of its Gallery Golf Course. Previously, the Navy used Skagit River water purchased from the City of Anacortes and pumped across Deception Pass Bridge. The 18-hole golf course, which is open to the public, received a state permit and began pumping from Whidbey Island’s aquifer in June. Stone addressed members of the Water Resource Advisory Committee, an advisory group to the Island County commissioners, at their Aug. 2 meeting. “My well is being directly affected,” Stone said. “If we, as a community, don’t stand up now, it will be a bigger issue in the future.” County Hydrogeologist Doug Kelly, armed with a presentation packed with visual data, said that the drop in water level is not cause for alarm. Rather, the decrease closely matches the data generated in the studies con-

According to Kelly, a dip in the water table was expected, and is allowed under state law. What would not be okay is if the Navy’s water use caused levels to drop below the intake pumps of neigh-

bor’s wells, and a three-foot drawdown is nowhere near causing impairment, he said. Kelly also pointed out that the greatest drawdown occurs when pumping begins. Wells farther away experience even less of an impact, he said. A major concern over the permit issued to the Navy has been the volume of water allowed each irrigation season – 39 million gallons. The Navy did not request that amount, but the figure was set by Ecology based on state irrigation standards. After installing a high-
tech irrigation system, the golf course used 8.5 million gallons in 2010 and 9 million gallons in 2011. But with the state’s “use it or lose it” doctrine for determining the water right at the end of a five-year period, some worry that there is incentive for the course to pump as much as possible in this period. However, wasting water or using it for a purpose not approved on the permit would be illegal. It is also contrary to the Navy’s intentions, according to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station

Commanding Officer Capt. Jay Johnston. Joseph Waldrup, president of Whidbey Island Water Systems Association and technical advisor to the committee, has been monitoring neighbors’ wells and has been in contact with golf course personnel. Based on the pumping rate, he said the course is on track for using about the same amount it used last summer. If problems arise, affected well owners and county government can take immediate action, Kelly said. With the Navy having the junior water right, it would have to stop pumping water. At the meeting, committee members voted to approve a letter to the commissioners offering input as to what steps the commissioners should take. The committee said Ecology should improve its permitting process by notifying counties of any permit application with significant withdrawal and improve the public notification process. Publishing a notice in the newspaper is not enough as it is “so obscure it goes unnoticed,” they said. The state also should address the “use it or lose it” water law that appears to be at odds with conservation efforts, they wrote. Two Island County com-
missioners have already joined the discussion, Dist. 2 Commissioner Angie Homola and Dist. 3 Commissioner Kelly Emerson. Homola wrote a letter to Johnston with suggestions such as that the Navy extend “an olive branch of diplomacy” to voluntarily reopen the permit and reduce the quantity withdrawn to 10 million gallons per year. “Obviously if there is a need due to dry conditions, the neighbors are going to be employing conservation methods and will not take kindly to their shared aquifer water being used for golf,” Homola wrote. In a statement, Emerson wrote that she was “deeply troubled by the seemingly immense distrust” of Ecology and “our national security neighbor, the U.S. Navy.” She wrote that she is a believer in “trust, but verify,” and that the trust must come first. The committee also suggested that the county get a commitment in writing from Capt. Johnston that the course will limit its pumping to its historical usage. The Navy has already volunteered to do additional testing, monitoring and reporting on its well. “We all want to be good neighbors,” said committee Chairman Don Lee.
Incumbents advance to general election By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter
It appears voters in Island County Commissioner District 1 are satisfied with the status quo. The first batch of primary election results were released Tuesday evening and incumbent Democrat Helen Price Johnson has pulled ahead with a commanding lead, securing 3,286 votes, or 57.18 percent. By comparison, Republican Coupeville challenger Jeff Lauderdale is the runner up but is trailing far behind with 1,377 votes, or just 23.96 percent. In a telephone interview shortly after the results were released, Johnson, a Clinton resident, said she believes the numbers will begin to even out with later counts but was very pleased by the strong showing of voter support. “District 1 voters definitely showed their preference,” Price Johnson said. “I’m pleased and very honored.” Independent Clinton
candidate Curt Gordon is in second, securing 13.28 percent of the vote while Republican Wayne Morrison, also of Clinton, has claimed 4.4 percent. Independent Clinton candidate Ed Jenkins came in last with 1.18 percent. In the District 2 race, Republican Jill Johnson has a narrow lead over Democratic incumbent Angie Homola with 1,005 votes, 33.86 percent, compared to Homola’s 969 votes, 32.64 percent. Republican Jim Campbell is in third with 22.84 percent, or 678 votes, while Republican Phil Collier is last with 317 votes, or 10.68 percent. The EMS levy passed easily with more than 70 percent. The measure to renew the property tax levy for another six years only needed 50 percent to pass. According to the first count, 13,086 ballots have been counted out of 47,412 total registered voters, equaling a turnout of 27.6 percent. The next count will be Wednesday at 5 p.m.

Free lunches target hungry kids By Betty Freeman Staff Reporter
Hungry kids playing at South Whidbey Community Park this summer won’t have to interrupt their play to go home for lunch. The Whidbey Island Nourishes program (WIN) provides free, nutritious lunches from noon to 12:30 p.m. on weekdays throughout the summer at the concession stand at South Whidbey Community Park. Any child 18 and under is eligible for a free lunch on a first-come, first served basis. During the school year, WIN provides weekend lunches for school-age kids through its backpack program. Year ’round, lunches are available at Good Cheer Food Bank and Good Cheer Thrift Store in Clinton, and free a la carte food items are offered in a coinless vending machine at South Whidbey Commons in Langley. The school-year backpack program serves mainly clients who qualify for free and reduced-price school lunches. The summer lunch program is open to all children, regardless of financial need. “We didn’t want any stigma attached to asking for a free lunch while
playing at the park,” WIN founder Mary Fisher said. “This way, any hungry child can get a good lunch with no questions asked.” The summer free lunch program is in its second year, thanks to a grant from the federal government’s Simplified Summer Food Program. As scheduled summer park programs get into full swing, the need for lunches increases. In 2011, WIN served 1,135 meals through the summer feeding program. “WIN encourages local instructors, play groups, and others to include lunch at the park as part of their activities,” said Miriam Coates, WIN program coordinator. Sno-Isle Libraries’ Books on Wheels program participated last year, hosting two days of children’s activities, and is on board to collaborate again this summer. Last year WIN was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation and Gold Star by the Children’s Alliance for participation in the federal program and operation of a feeding site for over 40 days. Meals are prepared by WIN volunteers and feature the same high-quality ingredients used in WIN’s backpack and vending-machine

Our maritime climate makes the Puget Sound region a perfect setting for many lavender species, with a lot to choose from in plant size, flower shape and even color. There’s everything from white, to pink and blue, all the way to dark purple – and even yellow lavender. These woody members of the mint family – prized for thousands of years for their fragrant essential oils – are surprisingly hardy and it’s easy to keep them happy and producing mounds of flowers year after year. The first requirement is sunshine. Find the sunniest spot in the garden and give your young plants room to double in size each year for the first three years. Don’t forget to factor in space for the flower spikes to spread outward because stem length varies a lot with variety. You can plant most lavenders about two feet apart (from the center of one plant to the center of the next) for From Coupeville to Your Cup, 6:30-8 p.m., Coupeville Recreation Hall, Coveland St., Coupeville.

sowin’ ’n’ the trowel toni grove a hedge effect, or give them more space if they’re going to be a focal point in the garden. The second requirement for happy lavender is good drainage. They can’t stand wet feet and need to be planted where the soil will dry out completely between waterings. This is especially true in the winter when they can handle our snow – but not the standing water winter rains often bring. If you keep smaller varieties in pots, don’t let them sit in full trays of water for any length of time. Lavenders evolved in rocky, chalky soils, so adding lime to acidic woodland soils is gley. 360-678-1347. Woodpalooza & WICA Exhibition, noon-5 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 1-Monday, Sept. 3.

the flower spikes as they die back or wait until they’re all spent and do it all at once. If you’re not growing lavender commercially, the timing isn’t as important as the fact that you do prune them. And know that communicating about lavender can sometimes get tricky, especially if you’re referring to reference books written abroad. For example, Lavandula angustifolia is generally referred to as true English lavender, while the long-stemmed hybrid Lavandula x intermedia is known as lavandin in France and as French lavender here. Spanish lavender (Lavandula stoechas) is called French lavender elsewhere, but so is Lavandula dentata, depending on the source. If you learn and use the Latin names for plants, you’ll eliminate confusion. You’ll also make the job of choosing the right lavender at your local grower’s retail outlet that much easier.

also a good idea. Finally, if you want plenty of blooms year after year, you need to prune your lavenders back hard. Look for the brown wood from the previous year’s growth and cut flower stems off about an inch and a half above that wood. Avoid cutting into the woody parts themselves because they may not recover. This will help ensure you have more blooms the following year and also keep your plants from getting too leggy. Even tiny lavenders will bloom, but if you cut those flower stalks off the first year, they’ll bush out faster. If you’re growing lavender for harvest, you can give it a quick prune while cutting and then go back and tidy up in the fall or late winter. If you’re growing lavender simply to enjoy their beauty and fragrance in your garden, you’ve got more leeway. Different varieties mature at different times, so you can snip off

This will affect Routes one and six both northbound and southbound. A temporary stop will be added at the corner of 9th and Main streets to compensate for the missed stop on Broadway. For information, go to islandtransit.org or call 360678-7771.
