County to take new look at recycling By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter

Curbside recycling on Whidbey Island may get scrapped before getting started. On Monday, the Island County commissioners agreed to revisit last month’s landmark decision to require Island Disposal, the county’s licensed garbage hauler, to roll out a curbside program for customers in Langley and rural parts of Whidbey Island sometime this year. After more than five years of study and discussion, the decision was made in late December, during the last days of former Commissioner Angie Homola’s term. She and fellow Democrat, Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, approved the program in a 2-0 vote. Republican Commissioner Kelly Emerson abstained at the time, but apparently wasn’t done with the issue. She brought it up again Monday, saying the matter may have been settled by a former majority, but that she is still getting public comment from people who are against the program. “There is a lot of concern out there,” she said, citing the cost of the program. Her suggestion to revisit the issue at one of the board’s upcoming work sessions was quickly supported by Republican Commissioner Jill Johnson, who unseated Homola in the 2012 November election. Johnson didn’t explain her reasoning at the time but said in a later interview that the “mandatory” aspects of the program are a major hiccup for her, especially when there is a “looming law and justice need.” She made it clear that she isn’t against curbside recycling, but that times are tough and if people have to pay more for something it should be for more cops, not recycled milk jugs and pop cans. “I’m not sure I’m willing to prioritize recycling over law enforcement,” Johnson said. “At the very minimum, I want to have this conversation,” she added. The approved curbside program is nearly identical to one pitched in 2007 and just as controversial. The major hurdles were that See RECYCLING, page 12

Gordon Grant, a master woodcarver with a background in Native American Art, works on one of the oldest known canoes in Washington. Estimated to be about 170 years old, it was once owned by renowned Central Whidbey tribal leader Chief Snakelum and is in the process of being restored by the Island County Historical Society.

Giving an old canoe new life By Justin Burnett Staff Reporter

Restoration of one of the oldest known Native American canoes in Washington is nearing completion and Island County Historical Society officials have high hopes the artifact will soon be on display inside the Coupeville museum. Believed to be about 170 years old, the canoe once belonged to Central Whidbey tribal leader Chief Snakelum, and later his equally famous son Charlie Snakelum. Now under the stewardship of the historical society, the famous craft has been undergoing a long needed overhaul in a barn south of Coupeville since February of last year. If all goes well, and the weather warms soon, the work is expected to wrap up this spring. And museum officials are hoping to make the finished canoe a centerpiece in a Native American and natural history exhibit in the museum’s basement. But to do it, the museum is putting a call out to the community for help. The basement

is currently used for storage and much of it will need to be moved to another location to make room for the new exhibit. The museum is searching for at least 600 square feet of climate-controlled storage space at a very affordable rate. “It would be a huge thing for us,” said Rick Castellano, executive director for the historical society and the museum. “The museum was designed to have that floor open to the public when it was built in 1991.” But equally important, it would help preserve Snakelum’s old canoe, which is one of the museum’s, Central Whidbey’s, and indeed the state’s, great Native American treasures. “We want the restoration work to last an-

other 170 years,” he said. Believed to have been built from a single piece of red cedar sometime in the 1840s, the 27-foot craft is not only one of the oldest known canoes in the state but it appears to be continually teaching historians about Native American art. During the restoration, panels of vertical, light blue paint were found on the craft’s inside walls. The discovery is still pending verification by state experts, but if true, it would be no small thing. “Light blue is just a color that doesn’t appear in Native American art,” Castellano said.

Dance group gathers for foot-stompin’ good time By Kathy Reed Staff Reporter

It’s toe-tapping fun that has been on Whidbey Island for 40 years, and members of the Whidbey Whirlers would like to share the pleasure of square dancing with anyone who’s willing to learn. “It’s fun set to music,” said square dance fan Harold Gates, 87. “Square dancing is not only a lot of fun, but it’s great exercise and it’s good for mental acuity, too, because you have to pay attention to the calls,” said Bob Berka. He and his wife, Linda, are co-presidents of the Whidbey

Whirlers. The roots of square dancing go way back. Its closest European cousin might be the Morris, which is performed by six men arranged in two rows of three, but there are also touches of the quadrille, the schottische and the minuet. It’s thought that square dancing was born in New England after the first settlers arrived and all their various national dances got mixed together. Today square dancing, which features four couples arranged in a square, is an American institution. It is the state dance of 19 states, Washington included. In our country’s early years, square dancing was a great social event for pioneers who needed recreation and a way to socialize with neighbors. It was easy to scare up someone with a guitar or violin and nearly every community had a wooden floor somewhere. If there was no caller available, couples

As America grew and became more urban, new music, new fashions and new dances nearly wiped out square dancing. However, automaker Henry Ford helped revive it by giving it an overhaul of sorts, making

Anyone age 12 and older is welcome to participate. At the group’s most recent round of lessons, Gena Kraha, 28, was giving it a whirl. “I love it!” she said. “It’s so much fun, I’ll definitely be back for more.” “A night of square dancing is equivalent to a threemile walk,” said caller Oren Gaskill. “But you don’t think about the exercise part of it because you’re having too much fun. “It’s also socially engaging,” he continued. “It’s been recorded by medical professionals as an antidote to Alzheimer’s because it engages the mind on so many different levels.” Gaskill’s claim does bear some weight. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, research shows that a combination of physical and mental activity with social engagement are the most likely to prevent dementia. Square dancing clubs are one of its recommended activities. And for square dancers who like to travel internationally, they can participate in dances anywhere, because they’re always in English. “It’s international,” said Rick Kaiser. “Even if the dance is in Japan, the calls are in English. You can’t talk to everyone after, but you can dance.” Kraha said she can see why people might be hesitant to try square dancing, because it’s kind of unknown. “It’s easy to pick up and the people are really friendly and supportive,” she said. “That’s the hardest part,” said Bob Berka. “Getting somebody started.”

it more contemporary while still retaining the basics. Square dancing clubs began to form all over the country and its members helped keep the dance alive by sharing it with others. That’s the goal of the Whidbey Whirlers, which was formed in May, 1942, and other area square dancing clubs. Bob and Linda Berka got into dancing several years ago thanks to some persistent neighbors. “Our neighbors came over and told us they’d found a babysitter so we were to get our duds on because we were leaving in 10 minutes,” said Linda. “What do you do

when the babysitter is bought and paid for?” Although Linda liked square dancing right away, Bob took a little more convincing. “I saw them practicing round dance, which is patterned ballroom dancing,” he said. “At that point, they had me hook, line and sinker.” Today it is the social aspect of the dance that draws so many to it, Bob believes. “There is a connection with people that you just can’t get anywhere else,” he said. Harold Gates has been square dancing for three or four years. “I don’t want to sit at home in the rocking chair feeling sorry for myself,” he said. “It’s good exercise, a good social outing and it’s a real good environment for people of all ages.” Members of the Whidbey Whirlers are hoping to increase their ranks by holding lessons periodically.

Geoduck harvest returns to Whidbey Island By Jim Larsen For The Whidbey Examiner

The geoduck (pronounced gooey-duck) has a funny name and its appearance often elicits embarrassed laughter, but Washington’s biggest clam means big money to the Department of Natural Resources and fine eating, particularly for wealthy devotees in China. For the first time in years, commercial geoduck harvesting is under way in Langley. It started Monday, Jan. 7 and ended last week. The DNR manages two geoduck fishery tracts near Langley. Langley North is 129 acres in size and Langley South is 54 acres. Other Island County tracts are listed as Admiralty Bay, Austin, Cultus Bay, Dines Point, Double Bluff, Holmes Harbor, Lagoon Point, Point Partridge, Randall, Rocky Point and Useless Bay. Adam Peterson, truck driver for Alaska Ice Seafoods, stopped by the Langley Marina last week to pick

up plastic crates loaded with geoducks from that day’s harvest. The clams average two to three pounds each and cost approximately $14 a pound for the harvester. “The whiter they are the better,” he said. Ralph Downes, a game agent who has covered Whidbey Island for the Department of Fish and Wildlife for the past 22 years, said four bid winners were awarded the opportunity to work the Langley tracts, with quotas of 8,017 pounds each, bringing the total allowed harvest to 36,068 pounds. Harvesters, including Alaska Ice, International Shellfish and Global Pacific Seafood, bid from $8.09 to $8.79 per pound. The state adds a fee of $4.50 for each pound harvested bringing the cost to between $12.59 and $13.29. The harvest cost itself is estimated at $2 per pound, jumping the total cost to $14.86 per pound. The harvest cost may seem high, but retail prices more than make up for it. Downes said portions of top

quality geoduck can bring $100 to $150 a pound in the international marketplace. Geoducks are considered a delicacy in China. “Not bad for a clam that a decade ago was sold for a fraction of the price and destined to be canned as chopped clams,” Downes said. Although the DNR manages the geoduck harvest, the Department of Wildlife’s job is to keep poachers away. “Any time there is this much profit to be made, the criminal element won’t be far behind,” he said. The harvesters are themselves closely observed. The DNR has a boat on scene to monitor the harvest and puts divers under water to make sure the commercial divers aren’t picking and choosing from among the geoducks, selecting the whiter specimens only. Geoducks are notoriously hard to gather for recreational enthusiasts digging them at extreme low tides in the spring and summer. They live up to 3 feet under the sand.

But commercial harvesters use water pressure. “They blast ’em out with water pressure from the harvest vessel to blow the substrate away until the clam is free,” is how Downes describes the process. Homeowners on the bluffs about Langley haven’t seen a commercial geoduck harvest in years. Downes likened the geoduck crop to timber harvest. It takes a couple of decades for small geoducks to grow large enough to harvest, so once this year’s Langley harvest is finished, harvesters won’t be back for years. The DNR geoduck harvest started small in 1970 when 82,000 pounds were collected with a value of $13,000 at the dock. By 2010, the figures had skyrocketed to 4.43 million pounds with a value of $36.1 million. According to the DNR website, the geoduck harvest is managed for sustainability. The harvest rate is 2.7 percent of current stock estimates and is based on such biologi-

Beds are surveyed before and after harvest to corroborate harvest reports and establish a “postfishing biomass estimate.” Geoducks live a long time, up to 160 years for one sam-

ple taken in Washington. The DNR estimates the average age for geoducks on unfished beds is 46 years old. “The two tracts in Langley haven’t been harvested in many a moon,” Downes said. And it will be many a moon before harvesters return.

The U.S. Navy invites you to comment on the Engineering Evaluation/ Cost Analysis for Former Aviation Fleet Gunnery School Sites At Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, Oak Harbor, Washington The U.S. Navy prepared an Engineering Evaluation/ Cost Analysis (EE/CA) to evaluate potential alternatives for dealing with munitions-related chemical contaminants in surface soil at two former gun ranges at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington. The former gun ranges, referred to as Machine Gun Ranges (MGRs) B and C and the Mobile Turret Tower Range (MTTR), are part of the former Aviation Fleet Gunnery School. The EE/CA discusses risks posed by the sites, evaluates cleanup alternatives, and identifies a recommended alternative. The risk evaluation in the EE/CA was based upon a previous preliminary assessment and a site investigation conducted at the two sites. The Navy is the lead agency and invites you to comment on all alternatives considered in the EE/ CA. The following alternatives were evaluated: • No Action • Land Use Controls (Administrative Controls) – Administrative controls imposed to limit Navy development of the sites to “non-residential” land uses • Land Use Controls (Administrative and Physical Controls) – Administrative controls imposed to limit Navy development of the sites to “non-residential” land uses and install physical barriers such as fences, gates, and signs to limit access to portions of the sites • Soil Removal – Clearing, grubbing, and removal of the uppermost 2 feet of soil where practicable in areas where soil exceeding the applicable regulatory cleanup level was identified in the previous site investigation Based on available information, the Navy’s recommended alternative is Land Use Controls (Administrative Controls) to limit Navy development of both sites to non-residential land uses, which would allow recreational, industrial, commercial, office, and educational uses. Prohibited land uses would include residential housing, elementary and secondary schools, child-care facilities, and playgrounds. The Navy will choose the final alternative after considering public comments and may select any one of the alternatives.

Public Comment Period is January 28 through February 27, 2013. The EE/CA will be available at the reference desk of the following public libraries during this period: Oak Harbor Library 360-675-5115 1000 SE Regatta Drive Oak Harbor, WA 98277 Mon - Thurs: 9 AM - 8 PM Friday: 9 AM - 5 PM Saturday: 10 AM - 5 PM Sunday: 1 PM - 5 PM Coupeville Library 360-678-4911 788 NW Alexander Street Coupeville, WA 98239 Mon & Wed: 10 AM - 8 PM Tues & Thurs - Sat: 10 AM - 5 PM Sunday: Closed Anacortes Public Library (360) 293-1910 1220 10th Street Anacortes, WA 98221 Mon: 10 AM - 7 PM Tues – Fri: 11 AM - 7 PM Sat. & Sun: Noon - 5 PM The EE/CA is also available online: https://portal.navfac.navy. mil/portal/page/portal/navfac/navfac_ww_pp/navfac_efanw_pp/ tab33522:tab34368 Written comments must be postmarked by February 27, 2013. The Navy will extend the public comment period at least 15 additional days or schedule a public meeting to discuss the EE/ CA upon timely receipt of a request. You may request an extension of the comment period or a public meeting prior to February 27, 2013. After the public comment period ends, the Navy will prepare a written response to all significant comments, and comment responses will be included in the Administrative Record file. The Navy will consider public comments in the final selection of an alternative and will document the selected alternative in an Action Memorandum.

Making my way out of the foggy abyss I’ve been in a fog for the last week. I’m not just talking about the dense wall of mist that’s been surrounding Whidbey Island on a regular basis, but a fog known as “Megan should have gotten her flu shot.” Everyone kept asking me if I’d done it. And I always seemed to have an excuse. I EVEN went with someone to get theirs not too long ago. Yet here I found myself, sitting at my desk last Tuesday getting the flu. I warmly referred to it as “death” when I e-mailed my father from my fevered stupor. Subject line: I’ve caught the death. Inside the message, “if you don’t hear from me send someone to retrieve my body.” My dad’s used to these kind of e-mails from me. I get a paper cut and I’m dying. But really, the 48-hours fever, chills, body aches, headache and cough felt like death. Sure I got two days off from work, but who wants two days off when you’re stuck at home with a box of tissue? One thing my immobile state allowed was to get through an entire season of Lost on Netflix. Want to talk about a fog? Lost is the epitome of a foggy abyss. What the heck is going on? Four seasons in, and I’m still not entirely sure. I’m not even really sure I like the show, but still, I’m four seasons in. It must be finished. However foggy my recent week has been, I’m starting to see the light shining through that wall. My stuffy nose is less and less congested each day, I’m on the downward trek on my journey that is Lost and when I drive home from work I can now see 20 feet in front of me. Sometimes fog comes at you from all different sides, and you have to wait it out with plenty of ibprofen and fluids. Or you can take mine, and the Center for Disease Control’s advice and get a flu shot. Trust me. —Megan Hansen, Editor

Plants that keep interest high in winter gardens toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel One of the frustrating things about choosing plants for your landscape in the spring and summer is anticipating what they’ll look like during the winter. Hostas are some of my favorite bedding plants, especially for those shady or

partially shady areas that can often be underserved. But if you fill your beds with these beauties, there’ll be a few months where it could look like all you’re growing is a good patch of mulch. Even columbine, which quickly sends up a low whorl of new leaves in the winter to act as a place marker for its spring growth spurt, can’t keep a garden vibrant on its own. It needs a few choice companions to keep the green going and remind us spring and summer will eventually return. Obviously, you need to find something that’s ever-

green and keeps its leaves year round. It’s also a good idea to choose something that won’t turn against you and end up being more work than it’s worth. We’ve all done it: fallen in love with a plant that that ended up overtaking our flower beds like the Oklahoma land rush. So, avoid the tears and consider these three perennials for your own garden. One is a ground cover, another a bedding plant and the third is a shrub that can easily become a focal point. Ajuga (Ajuga spp.) is a great alternative to ivy as a ground cover. OK, actually

just about anything except Himalayan blackberry is a good alternative to ivy as a ground cover. Also known as bugleweed, ajuga is a member of the mint family and throws up spikes of white, pink, purple or blue flowers in the spring and summer. The rest of the year it has a mat of glossy leaves that stay low enough to the ground that they can’t easily harbor large vermin, a big problem with ivy. Plus, despite being mints, they’re easy to pull up and remove where they reseed or spread. Bergenia (Bergenia spp.),

Coupeville boys lose games, players By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Then came the biggest blow, Aaron Trumbull suffered a scary fall and head injury in the Archbishop Murphy game. Coupeville coach Anthony Smith said the impact of the missing players was “huge” and left the Wolves with “no scoring.” The outcome of the ATM (8-4, 10-5) game became secondary when Trumbull was injured. Trumbull’s mother, Shelli, said in an email Monday that Aaron “has a concussion, but he is doing well. We are thankful it wasn’t more serious.” He will miss the remainder of the season. Trumbull, who was defending on a fast break, jumped to block a shot and was undercut by the ATM

Missing several key players, the Coupeville High School boys basketball team was no match for Sultan and Archbishop Murphy last week. The Turks tripped the visiting Wolves 71-27 Tuesday, then Coupeville returned home Friday after six road games to fall 68-28 to ATM. Leading scorer Ben Etzell was out of both games with a staph infection and Carson Risner missed the Sultan game because of illness. Starter Caleb Valko was injured in the second quarter at Sultan and missed the second half.

shooter. Trumbull went parallel with the ground and hit his head on the floor. Smith called the scene “horrific.” After being checked out by paramedics, Trumbull was taken to Whidbey General Hospital for observation. He was released Friday night. “After Aaron went down,” Smith said, “it took the wind out of our sails.” Smith said Nick Streubel (10 points and seven rebounds) and Aaron Curtin (seven points and seven rebounds) had solid games for the Wolves. Morgan Payne finished with five points, Valko four and Risner two.

Wiley Hesselgrave moved up from the junior varsity and saw some varsity time, Smith said. In regard to Sultan (7-4, 8-9), Smith said, “There is not much to write home about. I was disappointed; we could have played more aggressively.” Streubel topped the Wolves with eight points. Payne scored six, Joel Walstad, in his varsity debut, five, Trumbull four and Valko two. Coupeville (0-12, 1-17) closes out the regular season at 7 p.m. Friday in a home game with King’s (10-2, 13-5). Results of Tuesday’s game with Granite Falls (4-8, 8-10) were not available at press time. The Wolves open the playoffs at Lynden Christian Wednesday.

Emotions vary as CHS girls face two types of defeat The Coupeville High School girls basketball team suffered two losses last week, each covering a different set of emotions.

Central Whidbey HEARTS & HAMMERS neighbors helping neighbors Homeowners, do you need help with repairs or in rehabilitating your home?

The Wolves fell 30-27 in a heartbreaker to visiting Sultan Tuesday and then picked up positive vibes in a 78-42 loss to first-place Archbishop Murphy in Everett Friday. A disputed call in the final seconds ended Coupeville’s comeback effort against Sultan. The Turks (5-6, 5-12) led 44-38 with one minute left, but the Wolves weren’t through. Amanda Fabrizi, who

This time she was fouled on a drive and drained two free throws to slice the gap to two with 16 seconds left. Coupeville then got the turnover it needed — at least that is what it thought — when Sultan failed to inbound the ball in five seconds. However, another official over-

ruled the decision, saying the Sultan coach called timeout before the violation. After the timeout, Sultan inbounded and Coupeville fouled. The Turks hit both free throws, then added another with six seconds remaining. Coach David King said Fabrizi played “her best game of the season.” Bessie Walstad had six points and five rebounds, Hailey Hammer and Lauren Escalle scored five points

Escalle missed the game with an injury. Coupeville (3-9, 5-13) played Granite Falls (0-12, 0-17) Tuesday; results were not available at press time.

CANOE: Museum seeks space, from pg. 1

“That was really an interesting discovery and one that was totally unexpected,” he said. The restoration began by canoe expert and Sequim resident Steve Brown. A prior commitment took him away early on, however, and the majority of the refurbishment has been completed by Gordon Grant, a master woodcarver with a background in Native American art. Grant said it was an honor to be asked to do the work and says the canoe is nothing short of a marvel, starting with the building material. While the canoe is 170 years old, he

estimates the tree it was made from was about 800. “The grain is so fine you can scarcely see it,” Grant said. It’s made patching holes and replacing rotted sections somewhat tricky because the grain has to be a close match. Fortunately, he was able to secure sections of a downed tree from Rockport State Park that’s between 300 and 400 years old. Approaching the work with a sense of humility, Grant has done most of the repairs using traditional hand tools, most of which he crafted himself from an old circular plow.

Only in a few instances has he used modern power tools, he said. “It just seems appropriate,” Grant said. “The restoration of the canoe is a matter of respect as well as carrying history forward.” Work has slowed somewhat this past winter largely because of frigid temperatures — it has to be warm enough for some of the glues used to set properly. Grant believes work should be complete by March. Those with potential storage space the museum might be able to utilize are encouraged to contact Castellano at 360-678-3310.

curbside program when they would still have to make a trip to nearby recycling centers to get rid of glass. Although Price Johnson was a supporter of the program in December, there was little she could do against Monday’s majority of the board — something she hasn’t had to face since taking office in 2008. Price Johnson, who is also the current chairwoman of the board, agreed to revisit the issue again, but said she

was unsure what legal options the commissioners really have. The board’s vote last month to require its licensed hauler to offer curbside service set in motion a set of events. Island Disposal is to submit a proposal to the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission for review. The regulatory agency must then make a determination before the program can be implemented. Price Johnson rehashed

many of the benefits of the program, from the possible savings customers may achieve by reducing trash output to the impact to county coffers by increasing overall recycling. She also noted that not everyone is critical of the program and that many residents have been advocating for a curbside program for years. “I just want to make sure people realize there are two sides to that,” Price Johnson said.
