Council picks McCarthy to lead Langley

By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter

Mystery Weekend Saturday and Sunday is Mystery Weekend in Langley.

Annually, hundreds of sleuths are drawn to town to track down the killer.

This year’s mystery, written by Loretta Martin, is, “Gone with the Tide,” in which a character in a rollicking western musical ends up dead.

People who figure out “whodunit” have a chance to win prizes, among them weekend getaways, gift certificates and Mystery Weekend memorabilia. Even those who fail to solve the mystery can win a prize in a separate drawing.

Here’s how to play: • Purchase a Langley Mystery Weekend Clue Map with ballot at the Visitor Information Center, 208 Anthes Ave., Langley. Cost is $10 for adults or $8 for seniors, military or youths under 16. Maps are available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.

• Begin by reading the news article about the crime, “Gone with the Tide,” in the Langley Gazette. Check the Clue Map which shows where you can pick up printed clues to help solve the mystery.

• As you walk around town gathering clues from merchants, you will encounter some of the suspects described in the Gazette, and from them you may be able to collect valuable information. Beware that some of the information may be unreliable as it is coming from murder suspects.

• Once you decide on “whodunit,” enter your solution on the official ballot and deliver it to the Visitor Information Center. Correct solutions will be placed in a drawing for the grand prizes. All “incorrect” ballots will be placed in a drawing for other prizes.

• All entries must be received by 3:30 p.m.

Sunday, Feb. 24 to be eligible for the prize drawings.

• The solution presentation begins at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the Langley Middle School auditorium and will take less than 30 minutes.

You need not be present to win.

• Winners will be notified by email, phone or mail. Go to www.visitlangley.com after 8 p.m.

Sunday to find out the complete solution. The list of winners will be posted Monday, Feb. 25.

Meeting staff and city council members and learning policies dominated Fred McCarthy’s first few days as mayor of Langley.

South Whidbey’s only incorporated city was without its top administrator for almost two months.

Langley City Council ended that period Tuesday when it appointed McCarthy as interim mayor.

“I was surprised by the concept that Fred said; that leading the city was a different skill set than those honed by being on the council,” said Councilman Jim Sundberg.

Reduced in its rank because two council members applied for the job, McCarthy was appointed by a 2-1 vote. Council members Rene Neff and Sundberg selected McCarthy, the retired superintendent for the South Whidbey School District.

Councilman Doug Allderdice voted for Hal Seligson, who served as the acting mayor since Larry Kwarsick was forced to resign in January. Bruce Allen was the other city council member who vied for the mayor’s office.

“My vote was very selfish because I wanted to keep the two of you on this team,” Neff said of Allen and Seligson.

McCarthy presided over the council meeting after he was sworn in by City Clerk Debbie Mahler. Since then, his schedule was stacked with meetings with city depart-

“I’m really enjoying this new adventure,” McCarthy said. “I’m very hopeful for the future and the things we can do working together.”

Other than learning the job of mayor and meetings McCarthy plans to review city

projects.

Already in the works is the First Street waterline replacement, which he said was well led by Challis Stringer, the public works director.

Cow’s death remains a mystery this weekend “... something or someone took a hunk of skin not consistent with a predator.”

Robert Bishop Island County coroner

By JIM LARSEN Record editor There’s a whodunit on South Whidbey and it has nothing to do with Langley’s Mystery Weekend.

This mystery involves a healthy black Angus cow found dead by its owner, Diane Schneider, on her farm near Midvale off Maxwelton Road.

“I’ve got 11,” she said when asked how many cows she has.

Thirty students from the University of Portland and Pacific Lutheran University will volunteer with Habitat for Humanity of Island County during their Spring Break. The youth volunteers are participating in Collegiate Challenge, Habitat for Humanity’s year-round alternative to college breaks.

From March 10 through March 30, volunteers from the two universities will help build a home on South Whidbey in partnership with Habitat’s family partner, Mark Stephens. Habitat already broke ground and with the help of the students will finish Stephens’ new home.

“As this is my first year as volunteer coordinator, I was humbled to learn that these students not only choose to spend their spring break volunteering with our affiliate but also raise funds to contribute to the construction of these homes,” said Damion Lopez, Habitat of Island County volunteer and construction coordinator.

“I am looking forward to meeting these impressive young individuals.”

This year marks the second time that Island County Habitat has hosted Collegiate Challenge participants. The support and generosity of local businesses and churches make this effort possible by providing housing and meals to the hard-working students and volunteers.

“Habitat for Humanity of Island County has been working for three years to find a family and get the necessary permits to build another house on South Whidbey,” said Calvin Hewitt, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Island County.

“It’s a tremendous opportunity to fast track the actual construction and reward the patience of our family partner with these Collegiate Challenge volunteers.

We anticipate completing the exterior of the house by the time the second group leaves.”

From February to April, colleges across the country support Habitat for Humanity through the Collegiate Challenge Program. Over the past year, more than 110,000 youth volunteers have been mobilized through Habitat for Humanity International.

Habitat for Humanity of Island County has been building low-cost, quality affordable housing in partnership with low-income families since 1998. The program provides financial training, home ownership classes, and opportunities to complete required sweat equity hours.

Habitat for Humanity is the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. For more information, visit www.islandcountyhabitat.org

Sailing failings: New ferries see less use, more weather cancelations Ridership drops by 83,000 over six years

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter Already under fire over a slew of cost and design concerns, Washington’s newest ferries are earning fresh criticism from one state lawmaker as operational statistics reveal new questions about the vessels’ performance.

A review of state Depar tment of Transportation statistics by the Record shows that, in two years of service on the Coupeville-to-Port Townsend ferry route, Kwa-di Tabil class ferries are less used by the public and more susceptible to weather cancelations than their predecessors.

Last year, total ridership on the route — including cars and walk-on passengers — was down 12 percent from 2006, the last full year the 80-year-old Steel Electrics were in service.

That pencils out to nearly 83,000 fewer riders than the 766,843 who rode the ferries six years ago. During the same period, weather cancelations rose 128 percent, from just 64 runs scrubbed in 2006 to 146 last year.

Ferry officials blame ridership numbers on the economy and changing transportation habits of the public. Also, the route was served by a smaller vessel for years after the Steel Electrics were retired in late 2007 and the impacts are still being felt.

“It takes a while to get your ridership back,” said George Capacci, deputy chief of operations and construction.

As for the weather cancelations, he attributes that to brand new boats that crews are still getting used to. He said he would never question a captain’s judgment, and understands that it will take time for them to fully adjust to the new ferries.

Crews had 80 years to dial in the performance of the Steel Electrics, he said.

“In the 60-year lifespan of a vessel, these are still just babies,” Capacci said.

“I would chalk it up to new vessels and captains getting used to them.”

The statistics irritate state Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, one of 15 state lawmakers who questions ferry officials over design and cost issues surrounding the three new ferries.

In the rush to replace the Steel Electrics, they claim the

state paid too much for the new boats — particularly the $83.6 million Chetzemoka.

They also say the new ferries are riddled with design flaws introduced by agency experts, which are adding to maintenance and operational costs.

Smith called the performance statistics another “significant issue” against the new ferries but said of the two, the weather cancelations are far more concerning.

“Communities should be able to expect that modern vessels will have a better performance record than their 80-year-old predecessors,” Smith said.

She also takes exception with Capacci’s explanation, that weather cancelations are the result of crew unfamiliarity.

“That’s offensive to the outstanding people working on these ferries,” Smith said.

“These are professionals.”

Despite the subpar service record, many daily commuters appear satisfied with the new ferries. In fact, some report reliability improved.

“The overall impression (of the commuter community) is that the boats have been at least as reliable as the Steel Electrics,” said Jerry Mingo, a Port Townsend resident who works for Island County.

Rob Harbour travels between his home in Coupeville and a house he’s building in Port Townsend.

He said he hasn’t experienced too many headaches over reliability and he doesn’t feel the ferries are unsafe.

He has noticed some smaller issues, however.

“The outside windows are dirty a lot,” Harbour said.

There is no ledge to stand on along the outside of the passenger deck so the windows are rarely cleaned.

Ferry workers have grumbled about the oversight since the Chetzemoka hit the water in late 2010.

But the missing ledge is just one of a string of design issues that’s plagued the Kwadi Tabil ferries.

The initial lack of an adequate rub rail, vibration issues, need for a better rudder and propeller on the second and third boats, high sail area that can be troublesome in high winds, increased fuel consumption; all have been points of criticism.

The biggest complaints, however, were in response to the fact that each vessel has a three-degree list — the result of each boat’s single stairwell being located on one side rather than in the center.

It quickly earned the Chetzemoka the unofficial and unflattering name of “I-lean” among ferry workers.

Leading department officials, including Capacci, claimed the boat was designed that way, and that the list goes away once the ferries are loaded with cars. Last week, the agency confirmed plans to spend an estimated $300,000 to fix the problem.

Capacci maintains that the list isn’t a safety or performance issue but that the work is being done largely to address “public perception” of a problem fueled by customer, employee and lawmaker concern.

“It’s become a vocal point … but we don’t see it as an operational issue,” Capacci said.

Capacci said about 80 tons of ballast will be added to correct the problem but confirmed that each boat will still list about a half degree.

No negative impacts to fuel efficiency are expected.

Having the boat and propeller sit lower in the water will make the engines run more efficiently but the added

Smith and 15 other lawmakers asked the Auditor to perform a second audit, this time to determine how the design problems might impact maintenance and operational costs over the lifespan of the ferry.

Smith says legislators are in a pinch to get boats built fast and relied on the judgment and expertise of ferry officials. What they got were vessels riddled with problems and taxpayers are footing the bill.

“It’s simply unacceptable,” she said.

weight makes them work harder, resulting in a financial wash, Capacci said.

Smith argues that correcting the list is not throwing good money after bad, claiming it’s contributed to untimely maintenance issues, such as elevators parts wearing out too quickly.

Last month, a report by the state Auditor’s Office determined the Chetzemoka cost nearly $50 million more to build than a similar ferry built on the East Coast a few years ago.

The road that serves the Whidbey Island fairgrounds and Langley Middle School was swamped with a large pool of water during a recent downpour. Tendrils from a fir tree tangling in the 12-inch waterline were the root of the problem.

Challis Stringer, Langley’s public works director, said the roots were cut out and removed from the pipe. Since then, no pooling issues were noticed on Camano Avenue.

“We were lucky, instead of having to pull out more of the line we were able to wrap the roots around it,” Stringer said.

The break-in didn’t stop the coffee from flowing.

“It was a big mess and an unwanted expense for us, but not a huge deal,” she said, adding that they boarded up the windows and went back to work.

Wallace retrieved video from the security camera from the espresso stop.

He said it appears to show the burglar.

Wallace said the suspected burglar is a white male, about 17 to 21 years old, and dressed in a hooded sweatshirt.

He cautioned that the description is still “very preliminary.”

The Ebey Bowl, which is next to the coffee stand, was broken into last summer. In that case, footage from a security camera led detectives to the suspects.

In our opinion

A tale of two villages Langley has existed for 100 years as of 2013 and all is going well.

History has been made with the selection of a new mayor by the city council. As far as anyone knows, this has never happened before. But the process was thoughtful, open and resulted in a capable man at the helm, former South Whidbey School District Superintendent Fred McCarthy.

He takes over a city with fine department heads, dutiful volunteers working on various aspects of government, and a budget that is balanced but hardly bloated. Projects long dreamed of, such as marina expansion and Second Street makeover, are imminent, and others are being dreamed up.

With only 1,200 souls, Langley is a vibrant little city, attractive to islanders and tourists alike. Certainly it has problems, but the problems are addressed by the residents themselves. Rarely this leads to the blame game and recriminations, but for the vast majority of its 100 years, the city has operated smoothly. The founders were visionary to vote for cityhood so they could shape their own destiny.

It’s too bad “visionariness” isn’t contagious, otherwise Freeland would be in better shape today.

Freeland is beautifully situated on Holmes Harbor, it is South Whidbey’s hub for local business and its residential areas are attractive. Plans have been drawn for trails, some of which now exist. Island County, the Port of South Whidbey and volunteers have teamed up to make Freeland Park a waterfront joy for all. But so much more needs to be done.

Freeland has had its visionaries, but never a majority as Langley had back in 1913. They wanted their own city, their own road department, their own police department, their own tax collections and their own planning department. But this vision was always overshadowed by the fear of more taxes, a fear Langley was able to overcome years ago.

As a result we have one independent city and another unincorporated town where decisions are made 25 miles away in Coupeville and major proposals can pass unnoticed for years, such as the proposed $6.3 million low income housing project.

Freeland tried for cityhood once before with a vote in the 1970s that didn’t go well. Is it time to try again?

If Freeelanders look at Langley and how it has so successfully handled its own affairs over the past century, the answer may well be yes.

Ensuring the formation of an ethics commission (started by Seligson) was another idea borrowed by McCarthy.

The commission, which the mayor said will be selected

by March, will create a code of ethics for the city council and city staff.

More meetings and readings are up for Langley’s mayor next week.

Once he settles into his job, McCarthy said he will publish his office hours.

The office will be McCarthy’s until the election in November.

Veteran grit carried girls hoops through lows to playoffs Senior Moments: Experience took team to 1A playoffs

Why was this team more successful in conference play?

Chapman: We were successful against conference opponents because we wanted a winning record and had the strong desire to build the South Whidbey girls basketball program as a whole.

Schuster: Win or lose we didn’t give up, and our coach prepared us for every game.

Greene: We were successful against conference opponents because we played as a team and waited for the open shot and did what the coach taught us.

By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Leaping from one win to 12 in two seasons was a daredevil-crossing-a-canyon feat for the South Whidbey girls basketball team.

And its recent success as a 6-8 Cascade Conference and 12-12 overall club was largely on the shoulders of its seniors. Though the season started with four veteran players on the squad, the Falcons ended with three when one player left the team late in the season. The remaining leaders, Annalies Schuster, Ellie Greene and Aly Chapman guided South Whidbey to its first playoff win in a long time.

Back in the 2009-10 season under former coach Henry Pope, the Falcons finished with only three victories.

When Andy Davis took over in 2010-11, the Falcons flopped to a single win.

Things turned around last year when South Whidbey garnered eight wins overall but missed the 2A district playoffs.

In South Whidbey’s return to 1A, the Falcon girls gutted their way through late season illnesses. The Falcons won four of their final six regularseason games.

All season the Falcons counted on starters Greene, a wing, and Schuster, a post, and Chapman, a reserve

Schuster, South Whidbey’s tall, slender low-post player, posted huge games late in the season, including a season-high 18 points against Coupeville in the playoffs.

South Whidbey lost to Northwest Conference schools Nooksack Valley and Blaine in district playoff games. But at home against Coupeville, South Whidbey survived the upset and won its first playoff game in at least five years. Greene was instrumental in the victory.

Despite playing sick, she

scored 15 points.

Here the senior girls reflect on their final Falcon season on the hardwood.

How did you help the team get on track after a rocky start?

Chapman: I helped by working hard and being encouraging to my teammates.

Schuster: Everyone had to make sure that they were putting out their best for the team. I made sure that I was a consistent teammate who the girls could count on.

Greene: I helped by showing that I want to win, picking people up after a bad play and told them to win a war, you have to win battles first.

What was your individual highlight of the season?

Chapman: My highlight was senior night versus Archbishop Murphy because I made several defensive plays and scored a couple baskets.

It felt great to be able to score in a varsity game after not playing in four years.

Schuster: Beating Coupeville in district playoffs. We showed that giving up was not an option, even when others doubted our capabilities.

Greene: My individual highlight was playing against Coupeville for the third time.

How did the team rebound from the second drubbing by Cedarcrest?

Chapman: We rebounded from the Cedarcrest game well because we grew closer as a team and became more motivated.

Schuster: We told ourselves, “That game is over and tomorrow is a new day — we’ll work our hardest and not let that happen again.”

What will you remember most about this season?

Chapman: I will remember how we finished the season without a losing record which has not been done in almost 10 seasons.

Schuster: Playing Penrith (the Australian team) and trying to guard their 6-foot-6 girl.

Greene: I’ll remember how much fun I had with the team on and off the court, especially going to the Seattle Pacific game.

Who was the funniest person on the team?

Chapman: Ellie. She has unlimited energy.

Schuster: I think Abby Hodson was the funniest person — she kept us laughing on and off the court.

Greene: The funniest person? I think the whole team was hilarious. We all acted goofy at times.

She was standing over the body of what was a healthy 6-year-old cow. She discovered its carcass lying in the corner of a muddy, grassy pasture. The other 11 cows, including the dead cow’s 6-month-old calf, huddled next to a fence near the house.

Schneider fed the cows that morning and found the dead one at 1 p.m. The cow’s calf was still at its side.

Cleland and Bishop said they have seen many dead animals, both wild and domestic, and neither has ever seen anything like this.

“The whole, entire hide is intact, somebody cut that cow from nose to back of head, a very clean cut, a very long cut,” Cleland said. No major facial artery was cut because then the cow would have bled out, he added.

The cow was buried soon after its death so this killing near Langley may remain a mystery.

Barnes said anyone with information about the incident should call 911.

Giving away air isn’t easy for South End port OBITUARY Rights needed for new home at Boatyard Inn

By JIM LARSEN Record editor Giving away air can be a complicated process, as the Port of South Whidbey is learning.

For months, the port’s agenda has sometimes included an item titled “update on air rights easement.”

The unusual request for air rights comes from the Boatyard Inn adjoining the port’s Langley Marina property, and the air rights are needed to build a new home for Paul Schell, a Boatyard Inn owner, on the waterfront.

The port commissioners are willing to give Schell the air rights in appreciation for past support of the port’s marina project. The Boatyard Inn donated its tidelands to make future marina expansion possible.

Confusing the situation is the state Recreation and Conservation Office, which partially controls what can be done with the port’s marina tidelands and associated airspace. The RCO, under a different name, gave a grant to Langley in the late 1970s to help build the original marina, requiring public use.

“It’s encumbered and we have to convert it,” said Ed

Field, port operations man- back.’”

She said the home as ager, earlier this week.

RCO has to give its go- designed needs “a couple ahead for the airspace dona- feet, 10 to 12 feet up in the air tion, and that’s the sticking — this piece would proceed like a balcony and go straight point.

“It’s up to the state,” said up from the air.”

The RCO Field at the requires that Feb. 12 port property meeting. He “The port can’t give the in question be described the away property.” used for pubair space as lic recreation, starting nineSarah Thirtyacre feet above grant manager so any other ground, Recreation and Conservation Office use “would be a conversion occupying in our eyes,” seven feet by Thir tyacre 20 feet of air. said.

She It intrudes 18-inches over the property added the airspace would owned by the port. There is have to be appraised and its some existing parking but it value “replaced at today’s would still be available under- market value.”

Thirtyacre added she neath the airspace.

The RCO is requiring an has never done an airspace assessment, for one thing, conversion before. “I don’t and Field said that could cost have a good sense of com$10,000.

“The port can’t give pendent appraiser. They’d away property,” said Sarah determine it … like buying Thirtyacre, grant manager a house.”

Another issue is whether for the state Recreation and Conservation Office, in a “retroactive property can be recent interview with The used as replacement property,” she said, alluding to South Whidbey Record.

Thirtyacre attributed the the Boatyard Inn’s donation sticky situation to “a mis- of tidelands. “Our federal understanding of the prop- partners allow retroactive erty line. It was assumed it aligned with the bulkhead on Mr. Schell’s property, they designed the structure, then they realized ‘oh, that’s not the property line, it’s the set-

property, but that’s where we haven’t made a decision yet.”

She said the RCO’s director, Kaleen Cottingham, would have to make that call.

Thirtyacre said the RCO has received “no official request” from the port to proceed with the airspace donation effort. But the port knows the situation from working closely with the RCO, she added.

“The port’s been very upfront and transparent and we see that very favorably,” she said.

Field said the port won’t pay for an assessment but has offered Schell the opportunity to do so. The port’s approach is to pursue the retroactive property donation angle. Without the Boatyard Inn’s donated tidelands, marina expansion wouldn’t have been possible, he said.

That will be a later phase of the marina plan, but Field said the permitting process is under way now thanks to the donation.

Without the airspace, Schell will have to alter his construction plans.

“He can’t build,” said Thirtyacre. “The port could tell them that. We have to approve the replacement property.”

James T. Holland

In Remembrance of James T. Holland, who passed away at his home on January 24, 2013.

A lovely memorial service was given for Jim on February 10th in Seattle.

Family members and friends celebrated his life with wonderful memories they had about a man very much loved and admired.

Jim, born in 1920 and raised in Seattle, outlived his siblings Eugene, John, and Ruth. He attended Madrona Grade School and Garfield High School where he played the violin in the all-city orchestra. Jim had a love of music and hymns throughout his life. Jim also had a love of sports at an early age. He was very athletic and pushed himself in tennis, swimming, biking, and hiking. He claims to have swam across Green Lake in Seattle more than anyone else ever, which is quite likely true. He would do this daily from late spring to early fall from the early 60’s into the 90’s.

Following high school graduation in 1938, he attended the University of Washington until 1942.

Jim married his high school sweetheart, Juanita Marshall, on Labor Day, 1942. Jim enlisted in the US Army that fall and was shipped overseas in the spring of 1943. Jim parachuted into Normandy, France on D-Day, June 6th,1944 and continued to serve in the US Army in England, France, and Germany to the end of WWll, returning home in 1945.

In downtown Seattle, Jim worked for 38 years from 1945 to 1983 for Richardson and Holland (R&H) in purchasing and plant management, which he ran with his brothers. During his entire career he had perfect attendance. Almost anyone in the Seattle area during that era had a milkshake or sundae made with R&H products.

During a 36-year marriage with Juanita, Jim was father to: Virginia (husband Frank Wyland), Van (wife Katie), Jamie (passed away 1988), Chris (wife Kathryn Kelsey), and Leif (partner Brian McGuffey). Juanita passed away in September 1978.

Jim married Jayne DeWitt Lawyer in February 1979.

With Jayne another four adult children and their spouses were added to the

James T. Holland family: Pam (husband Ed Loomis), Becky (passed away in 1991, husband Bob Mix), Lafe (wife Cleveland Hall), and Wendy (husband Corlan Carlson).

Jim and “Jayne Ann”, as he called her, were the best of companions in all they did. They traveled to China, Europe, and all over the U.S. visiting extended family and friends. Jim and Jayne divided their time living in Seattle and on Whidbey, enjoying bike riding, swimming (Jim would swim across Goss Lake while Jayne rowed a rubber raft next to him), watching tennis and baseball on TV, attending Husky football and basketball games, traveling with the grandchildren, listening to music and attending concerts. Many happy times were spent walking their first dog, Chelsea, in Ravenna Park and on Foster Island in Seattle, and then Mr. Dooley on Double Bluff, Ebey’s Landing, and Sunlight Beach on Whidbey.

Some of the best memories were made when the family, now much larger, celebrated holidays and Jim’s birthday together with Virginia’s piano playing and singing. Jim enjoyed keeping up with his numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren from both marriages. He loved hearing from all of them, and was proud of their accomplishments.

Jim and Jayne eventually settled on Whidbey Island where they enjoyed sitting together in their sunroom gazing at the Olympic Mountains, the Sound and Sunlight Beach. He often declared “I’m on the top of the world”, and then couldn’t resist singing the words from that song made famous by the Carpenters. To Jim, to be home with Jayne was the dearest spot on earth.

For Jayne, his love will be in her heart forever. He was a blessing to the whole family and will be missed.

Oasis provides a free fix for cat problems Grant helps spay, neuter island cats RECORD STAFF Spring is in the air. That means those devoted to controlling Whidbey Island’s cat population are busier than a mouser at a Disney reunion.

“Right now everybody out there’s in heat or getting pregnant,” said Jean Favini, president of Oasis for Animals.

She was on her way to drop off a couple of feral cats on Central Whidbey she had neutered just the day before.

Oasis is a nonprofit animal rescue organization based in Langley. It provides free and low cost cat spaying or neutering.

“Need to get your cat fixed?” Favini asked as if quoting a motto. “Oasis for Animals has the solution!”

Oasis for Animals received a grant from The Washington Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies which will provide 125 free cat spay/ neuter surgeries for low-income residents of Whidbey Island. The regular price is $25.

The free offer will likely make Favini’s schedule even more hectic, but she has help from other cat lovers.

“We’re all volunteers … we have no time,” she said hurriedly.

She provides temporary shelter for many cats at her home, but takes them to the mainland to be “fixed.” Tuesday, she hauled over a load of 14 tame cats and six feral (wild) cats to undergo the procedure.

Oasis for Animals partners with The Washington Federation of Animal Care and Control and The Northwest Organization for Animal Help (NOAH) in Stanwood to provide these surgeries and improve the quality of life for animals and their guardians on Whidbey Island.

Funds for this grant award are made possible by the sale of Washington state “We Love Our Pets” license plates. In an effort to be proactive regarding the pet overpopulation problem, revenue from the sale of these license plates was earmarked through an agreement with the state for actual spay/neuter surgeries for dogs and cats.

Oasis regularly transports cats off-island to what Favini describes as NOAH’s “state-of-the-art spay/neuter clinic for low-cost, highquality surgery. Animals are delivered back to the island that evening.”

Kittens can be spayed/neutered at 2 pounds, which is at about 8 to 9 weeks old. Pregnant and in-heat cats can also be safely spayed.

Oasis for Animals also can help trap

“Feral surgery is always free, and we even provide the traps,” Favini said, adding that it is important to “fix” any stray or feral cats that you see or are feeding.

“Right now is the time many females are coming into heat, so we’re working hard to get as many spayed and neutered as soon as possible, to prevent more kittens. Sadly, there are more kittens being born than homes available for them.”

In the last year, Oasis transported over 1,000 cats from Whidbey to NOAH for spay/neuter surgery.

Contact the organization to schedule an appointment. “We make it easy,” Favini emphasized. “Thank you for spaying and neutering.”

Oasis also welcomes tax-deductible donations to help with the gas costs and to further benefit this spay/neuter program.

Novice farmer returns to musical roots Taylor 2 dancers RECORD STAFF

For Whidbey Island farmer Nathaniel Talbot, a day’s work in the field reaps more than just fresh vegetables.

This is also the landscape in which songs are sown and grown.

“Hoeing, harvesting and evening driving a tractor allows space for my mind to arrange and rearrange new musical ideas, play with lyrics and if nobody’s around, sing aloud to myself,” said Talbot.

In early 2011, Talbot moved from Portland to Greenbank to pursue an education in organic agriculture and escape a dizzying urban lifestyle.

“An interest in growing food had been creeping inside me for years,” he said.

“I finally decided to leave my day job, quit three bands and said farewell to basically my entire community.”

Talbot recognized that a move to a rural community and a commitment to a career in agriculture would likely end his professional musical life as he knew it.

However, he said Whidbey proved much more receptive to his music than he anticipated, “both in its art-friendly community and its natural, song-inspiring surroundings.”

Becoming part of Whidbey’s farming culture also opened up vaults of new
