Island Lions clubs unite to comfort

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Hospital officials were looking for a simple way to comfort some of their youngest patients and Lions Club members on Whidbey Island found a way to Lions Clubs donathelp.

The five Lions ed hundreds of these stuffed animals to clubs scattered throughout Whid- Whidbey General. bey Island raised money and purchased hundreds of little stuffed animals. Those stuffed animals were donated to the hospital and its community clinics in Oak Harbor and South Whidbey Island.

“It’s really a nice comfort for kids to have a stuffed animal,” said Nancy Bailey, volunteer coordinator for Whidbey General Hospital.

Purple-vest-clad Lions Club members from the North Whidbey, Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Central Whidbey and South Whidbey groups gathered in the Whidbey General Hospital lobby July 30 to donate the last boxes full of the little stuffed lions to the hospital.

The stuffed animal was a little lion wearing a little purple T-shirt with the words “For a brave little lion” emblazoned on the front.

Bailey contacted the Lions clubs to see if they could help replenish the hospital’s supply of stuffed animals.

Oak Harbor Lions Club member Sharon Ryan organized the collection effort and visited the various clubs on the island.

She said even though the stuffed animal collection wasn’t something the clubs on Whidbey budgeted, the members were eager to help. She noted that Central Whidbey Lions Club members started passing the hat around when she was telling them about the stuffed animal need.

The stuffed animals will provide a touch of comfort for young children as they have to go to the doctor for a bad cold or to receive a vaccination, Ryan said.

She added the stuffed animals soften the atmosphere of an exam or hospital room for young children.

Volunteers had already delivered the stuffed lions to community clinics on the north and south ends of the island.

Highland Games mark 15 years at Greenbank

By Nathan Whalen Staff reporter

Get your cabers ready to toss.

A group of Scottishminded people will get their large poles ready to hurl when they participate in the annual Highland Games, which takes place Saturday, Aug. 10 at the Greenbank Farm.

The Highland Games is a one-day festival celebrating all things Scottish. The day features athletic competitions, bagpiping, highland dancing and more.

Oak Harbor resident Fionna Strong, 15, has been dancing since she was 4 years old. She attended the Oak Harbor Public Market and the Coupeville Public Market to demonstrate Highland dancing and promote the upcoming games.

The games were started in 1998 and were organized by Maureen Lee and her family.

She said they had just moved to the island and wanted to organize an event that would add to the culture of Whidbey Is-

land. Lee, her husband Angus, and her children Cameron and Callum, are bagpipers. They also own the Tartan Thistle, which distributes bagpipes and supplies online.

She said her family’s interest in bagpiping goes back generations.

The festival will also have clan tents where people can learn about their Scottish ancestry. Those tents also feature clothing, literature, music and more.

Whidbey’s Highland games is the latest of a series of such events that take place throughout the region. Mount Vernon’s took place two weeks ago and other events were held in Portland and Enumclaw.

Cost for the Whidbey Island Highland Games is $10 per adult, $7 for seniors/military/students and free for children 4 and under.

Lee said organizers are looking for volunteers, especially with set up in the days leading up to the event and tear down Saturday. For information, call 360-331-4688.

Higher fares come this fall to Washington State Ferries

Motorcycle ride and car show benefits south end youth house

New, across-the-board ferry-fare increases will go into effect this fall.

The Washington State Transportation Commission approved July 30 the higher fares that will help ensure revenue goals set by the state Legislature are met.

Lack of artistic nature breeds appreciation Some people are just born natural artists. They go beyond coloring inside the lines, actually creating those spaces to be filled.

Sadly, I am not one Megan Hansen of those creative types.

Some perspective With me, you get stick people and blobs.

In high school, there was an attempt to be artistic in a pottery class.

During that semester, I think I was deemed a lost cause. The only thing that came out of that class was some pinch pots. I think I’m going to stick to coloring books.

However, give me a colored pencil and lines to color in between and I’m golden.

Not being artistically inclined, however, has given me an appreciation for those who have that artistic gene.

It’s amazing all the mediums and ideas people come up with.

This weekend, Coupeville is playing host to all kinds of artists. They will practice their crafts, sell pieces and interact with visitors.

Some artists are also scheduled to offer demonstrations throughout the weekend.

The festival will offer live entertainment, children’s activities, food and more.

It’s a weekend, I’ve heard, people look forward to each year.

The Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival started in 1964 as a way to revitalize the town and make Coupeville a place for visitors.

The event is entirely organized by volunteers and all profits earned go back into the community.

Since its start, the festival organization has given more than $500,000 back into the community in the form of grants.

Some of these grants have helped preserve history and establish community assets such as the library.

So while people are enjoying the festival, buying new pieces of art for their homes and enjoying some festival fare, they are also contributing back into the community.

Pro-OLF group also supports EIS study Editor, This is my reply to the blather from one Robert Wilbur. Unlike Mr. Wilbur’s rhetorical facts, here are some genuine facts: Fact #1: Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve (CER) President Ken Pickard has said “close the base” and “the NAS base keeps the island dysfunctional” on Whidbey News Group forums and as preserved on Scribd by yours truly. Between that and a “zip code forum” scandal starring Coupeville’s mayor to exclude dissenting voices that also receive Growler noise, the CER’s true intentions are clear.

Fact #2: OLF Coupeville is vital for safe training in aircraft carrier operations.

Fact #3: A new OLF will cost hundreds of millions of dollars America simply doesn’t have. The figure comes from The Aviationist reporting that Russia is forced to spend $735 million U.S. dollars for their new OLF. Fact #4: In an attempt to seem big, on Facebook CER “likes” up the pages of those that do not support their agenda. Requests to remove pro-OLF and neutral organizations go unheeded.

Fact #5: There are many, I included, who travel to Coupeville, but do not want to fund CER. As such, I applaud Coupeville residents standing courageously alongside me to defend our Whidbey Island Naval Air Station

friends in their hour of need.

Fact #6: I have a “Save OLF Coupeville” petition online gaining signatures.

We also support an Environmental Impact Statement to return the debate to “fact city” and mitigate the OLF’s impacts.

Editor, if I may, this sortie is dedicated to the late Lt. Valerie Delaney, Lt. William McIlvaine III and Lt. Commander Alan Patterson so their families know on the week their names are put on the EA-6B Memorial at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, I will ensure OLF Coupeville’s defense humbly honors their sacrifice.

How to create a happy home for new plants toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel Arguably, the most important decision you’ll face when you bring a new plant home is where to put it.

Unfortunately, it’s been my experience this is the last thing on most people’s minds when they find that one, perfect plant and get caught in the clutches of plant lust.

You live in a studio apart-

ment and you’re offered a 10foot clump of pampas grass your cousin just dug up using a chainsaw and a gallon of sweat. Sure, you’ll take it!

And how about those irises that need bright sunshine, while you live in the center of woods so deep and dark you need a flashlight to find your front porch at high noon?

Well, yes, of course, give ‘em here!

Annuals aren’t meant to last; they’re just summer romances. If you mess up you can chalk it all up to experience and move on. Perennials, on the other hand, need commitment. They’re moving in with you, so you’d better be prepared for a longer, more

meaningful relationship.

Everyone — you and the plant — will be happier if you take a minute to think this new partnership through before you buy it, adopt it, or dig it up and claim it as your own.

Find out how much sun your new plant needs. Does it thrive in full sun, or does it need partial or dappled shade at least part of the day?

Is full or deep shade the best environment for this plant?

If so, do you already have the perfect spot for it, or can you create one by pairing it with another, larger plant you’ve got your eye on that can provide that shade?

What’s the soil like where

your new plant is planning on putting down roots? Does it need loamy soil with lots of organic matter, or clay soil that holds lots of moisture, or sandy soil that will drain quickly?

Can it tolerate or even prefer “wet feet” in the winter, or will sitting water lead to its downfall?

Does it like acidic soil or alkaline? Is it a heavy feeder or can you forget about fertilizing it except for once in a blue moon?

Is it by chance one of those easy plants that can grow in even the most wretched of soils? Just so you know, those are the ones that inevitably become invasive.

In any case, figure out what your new plant will need and amend the soil appropriately.

Will it be near a pathway, or tucked away from heavy foot traffic? Does it have room to grow to the size it was meant to reach, or are you going to have to keep cutting it back out of everyone’s way, both to your frustration and the detriment of the plant?

How much water will it require? Are you going to have to install a drip irrigation system or set up the sprinkler all summer long, or it is drought tolerant and low maintenance once it’s established?

What about the wind?

New Coupeville student registration starts next week Registration for new students moving to the Coupeville School District begins next week.

Does it need to be located in a protected spot or have plenty of support for drooping limbs, vines or canes? Or is this plant intended to be a windbreak for other plantings?

Well, maybe thinking about all this might take more than a minute, but it’s time well spent. You know what they say about putting new plants in the ground, don’t you?

Tree cutting considered at Greenbank Farm

By Nathan Whalen Staff Reporter

Greenbank Farm officials are developing a plan to improve the view of the historic location.

Judy Feldman, manager of Greenbank Farm, said tenants at the farm are concerned that patches of trees, which were planted around the time the land passed into public ownership, has grown high enough to block the sight of the farm from motorists as they drive north on Highway 525.

She said staff is contacting forestry officials with the Whidbey Island Conservation District and WSU Cooperative Extension, along with county staff, to investigate the possibility of creating view windows of the farm for passing motorists.

“This is not being done

thoughtlessly,” Feldman said.

Four patches of trees and bushes are blocking the view of the farm buildings from the highway. The first is a group of scotch pine and grand firs located on a south edge of the property. The trees were originally planted by the Boy Scouts in the late 1990s and were supposed to be used as Christmas trees.

Feldman said those trees pose several concerns. In addition to obscuring the farm buildings, the patch of trees are densely packed and have dead vegetation that attracts diseases.

“It’s not a healthy stand and it’s a huge visual block,” Feldman said.

Other things obstructing the view from the highway include a row of trees planted near the farm buildings that served as a windscreen

Greenbank Farm officials want to thin out a group of evergreen trees located on the southern tip of the farm. for a former farmers market, a group of alder trees planted south of Wonn Road and a stretch of blackberry bushes located along Highway 20.

Feldman attended the Port of Coupeville’s monthly meeting July 10 and presented two maps, one from 1997 and one from 2013.

The 1997 map shows the land, which once held loganberries, was clear of bushes and trees.

She said trying to add view windows for the farm will be a complicated task.

There are numerous factors to consider when developing such a plan. While improving the farm’s visibility from the highway, any plan will have to include shielding the

solar arrays that were recently installed. The vegetation plan would also have to take account of wetlands and how it would effect the bird populations that live around the farm.

The Greenbank Farm is also limited by the county’s sign code. There are signs located along the highway at each end of the farm along with one at the entrance along Wonn Road.

Feldman’s next step is to set meetings with forestry officials and start developing options. She said she hopes to have something to present to the commissioners for the Port of Coupeville in September.

After months of wrangling, questions about how long a management group will oversee the Greenbank Farm appear to have been resolved.

The commissioners for the Port of Coupeville July 10 approved a resolution extending the Greenbank Farm Management Group’s agreement to oversee the agricultural and recreational land at the publicly owned farm by more than one year.

Under the new agreement, the management group’s lease will expire June 3, 2015, which is consistent with a separate agreement the Port of Coupeville made concerning the commercial properties the nonprofit group manages.

“We’re so relived and happy,” Greenbank Farm manager Judy Feldman said.

The termination date of the management group’s contracts with the Port of Coupeville became an issue at the start of the year. Back then, officials realized the expiration date of the leases ended before the management group could meet requirements set in a state contract that provided funding to build a new structure at the farm. If the management group didn’t meet a 10-year occupancy requirement, then it would have to return $1.5 million to the state.

Feldman said the discrepancy with the contract date, along with the negotiations

‘Tambourine Sky’

surrounding it, caused some problems for the management group’s efforts to raise money and recruit volunteers.

Commissioners Marshall Bronson and Mike Diamanti approved the agreement extension while Benye Weber voted against it. Weber wanted to continue negotiating new terms for any extension.

“I think you’re doing a disservice to our constituents,” Weber told Bronson and Diamanti during the meeting. She said after the meeting that the port needed to review and update the contract with the management group.

Bronson said that it was best to maintain the status quo. Port officials are busy trying to find a new executive director who will replace Jim Patton when he resigns at the end of the year. Any changes in the management group agreement would fall on the executive director to implement.

Patton also noted that he has to develop a budget for the coming year, which the commissioners have to approve in October.

He also said the Port of Coupeville will also continue paying the management group its annual $49,000 fee.

The three-member board approved a job description for the next executive director. Basically the commissioners are keeping the status quo and will look for a parttime director who will work on a contract basis.

North Whidbey farm protected from development Whidbey Camano Land Trust negotiates deal that places easement on more than 100 acres of picturesque farmland

By Justin Burnett Staff reporter

A land deal between a longtime farming family and a nonprofit group resulted in the permanent preservation of 113 acres of pristine North Whidbey farmland.

The Whidbey Camano Land Trust announced July 31 that it reached an agreement with the Muzzall family, owners of 3 Sisters Family Farms, to purchase a farming conservation easement on their property along the north side of Scenic Heights Road overlooking Penn Cove.

Terms of the contract allow the family to keep farming the area forever, but leaves the development rights under the control of the land trust.

Both sides said they are pleased with the arrangement.

“This is huge,” said Jennifer Muzzall-Jones, a fifthgeneration Muzzall family member to farm the property.

The deal furnished the family with needed capital, the recession has been tough, and provides stability for future Muzzall generations, she said.

“We’re preserving farm-

land, which means we get to keep doing what we love,” she said.

Pat Powell, executive director of the land trust, said this was biggest property preserved to date on the North side of Penn Cove within Ebey’s Landling National Historical Reserve.

The Muzzalls’ farm is over 800 acres of property, but the 113 acres protected serves as the central hub of the family’s farming operation.

The Muzzalls’ business and their family’s history on Whidbey Island also made their land a good candidate for preservation, she said.

“It’s one of the finest working farms on Whidbey Island and it’s a century farm,” Powell said.

According to Ron Muzzall, Jennifer’s father, the deal has been in the works for about eight years and he is relieved all the details were finally hammered out.

“After working on something for so long, it’s nice to have it completed,” Ron Muzzall said.

It’s also a big relief as, without development rights, the property will be much easier and cheaper to pass on to his three daughters: Jenni-

“This allows us to transfer the land to our kids without state tax or gifting issues,” he said.

Powell said the easement was sold for $920,000.

Island County Conservation Future Fund contributed $400,000, the land trust

put forward $60,000 and $460,000 came from federal and state grant funding.

The land trust announced last month it had landed $2.2 million in funding from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program.

Along with covering part of the Muzzall easement, the

funding will go toward the purchase of another 70 acres connected to the recently acquired Trillium Community Forest, purchase and restore about 300 acres of Crockett Lake and fund restoration of native prairie at the Admiralty Inlet Natural Area Preserve on Engle Road.

Coupeville welcomes 2 new coaches for fall sports

By Jim Waller Sports Reporter

The 2013 fall high school sports season begins in a few weeks, and two of Coupeville’s teams will be guided by new coaches.

Troy Cowan will head the soccer team, and Kirsty Croghan returns to lead the volleyball program.

Cowan takes over

Cowan’s trip to becoming a head coach followed an unusual route.

Most coaches compete in their sport as youngsters and in high school, and some continue in college. Eventually they slide to the sidelines to guide others.

Cowan didn’t play while growing up in Riddle, Ore.,

though he did kick the ball around a bit in pickup games during his days in the Navy.

He fell in love with the sport as his children did.

He said, “I was never one of those parent who just wanted to sit around; I wanted to get involved.” Cowan said all six of his children wanted to play, so when the first signed up, he volunteered to coach.

He has been heavily involved in island soccer since, a span of 15 years.

The youngest Cowan child, Aiden, is continuing the trend. He is 6 and has already played four seasons.

Troy Cowan coached recreational soccer for about 10 years and has been the U15 girls select coach for the Islanders the past four years.

Jim Waller photo

New Coupeville High School soccer coach Troy Cowan explains a drill during a summer workout.

The team includes his daughter, Bailee. He is currently Director of Academy for the North Whidbey Soccer Club and has served as vice president for the Whidbey Island Youth Soccer Association.

Cowan retired from the Navy in 2008 and recently earned his masters in education in June and would like to teach high school English. Coaching a high school sport, he said, ties in nicely with his career goals. When the Coupeville coaching job opened up, he applied.

Cowan replaces Dan d’Almeida, who coached Coupeville for only one year before leaving to take a teaching position in Vienna.

D’Almeida replaced longtime coach Mike Thornton who accepted a job in Texas.

Through work with the Islanders, Cowan said he is “familiar with some of the Lady Wolves and their parents.”

He said his goal is to take the team “to the next level.”

Coupeville mustered only one win in each of the past two seasons, and never more than four in the past four years.

The goal, he said, is to make Coupeville “a little more competitive,” and he has some “training ideas” he believes will help make that happen.

“I am hoping to implement a new formation and some new strategy that will make a difference in the game,” he said.

He added, “We need to work on improving our touch.”

This summer Cowan ran a voluntary running and conditioning program.

He said, “It is important to be in shape when you start.

You can’t win if you can’t breathe.”

High school practice opens Aug. 26.

He said it is his philosophy that if “they give 100 percent, regardless of the score,

sports shorts Islanders take 2 titles

Two Islanders soccer teams won their divisions in the Marysville Strawberry Classic Tournament last weekend.

The GU18 Islanders defended their title with two wins in three matches, and the GU15 Islanders swept their four matches to reach the winners’ circle.

The GU18 club wrapped up the crown with a pair of 3-0 wins Saturday. With the title secure, coach Sean LeVine changed things up for Sunday’s match.

He said, “No other team could catch us in points, so we had fun and moved some players around to unfamiliar positions. We lost 2-1 despite dominating them in all other stats.”

Kendra Warwick led the team with three goals in the tournament, with Tori Wellman, Zoe Bassett, Micky LeVine and Anni Field picking up one each.

Keeper Makenzie Perry held opponents scoreless for two-and-a-half matches, LeVine said, with “help from our stellar back four.”

2006 Coupeville High School graduate Kirsty Croghan is returning to coach vollebyall. they are winners” Cowan said he is trying to send a “positive vibe” about the program and get a large turnout.

A strong nucleus returns from last year’s squad, he said, and that group will be a good foundation to build around.

Croghan returns

Croghan, a 2006 Coupeville High School graduate, always knew she would come back.

This fall she returns to lead the Wolves’ volleyball program.

“I love the island,” Croghan said. “Who wouldn’t want to come back and have the opportunity to coach and be a part of the program that meant so much to them? It’s an honor and a privilege to coach at Coupeville High School.”

She added, “The first day of summer practice in the high school gym was awesome. It was like going back to high school volleyball. It is nice to be back.”

The GU15 team, coached by Ryan Baker, had to overcome an odd schedule, its nemesis and the host team to take the title.

The Islanders played only one match Friday and none Saturday before a busy Sunday.

In the opening match, the Islanders cruised to a 4-0 win, then they nipped their arch rivals, the Orange Cheetahs, 2-1 in a physical match.

A 1-0 win in a defensive struggle in the third game earned the Islanders a spot in the title match, where they beat host and tournament favorite Marysville “A” 2-1.

Lydia Peplinski scored four goals

Croghan will replace her high school coach, Toni Crebbin, who stepped down last season after 20 years of coaching.

After playing volleyball at Skagit Valley College for two years, Croghan went right into coaching.

She began her coaching career at LaVenture Middle School in Mount Vernon, moved to Anacortes Middle School and then to La Conner High school where she was the junior varsity coach and varsity assistant for three seasons.

She also coached club volleyball in Anacortes and La Conner.

With school and club volleyball, Croghan has coached year round for the past three years: “If you can’t tell yet, volleyball is my life and my passion.”

She said she went into coaching because she is “super passionate about not only coaching volleyball but teaching young ladies that anything is possible if they just believe in themselves.”

in the tournament, Jill Crossley added three and Emma Lerch and Alyson Henry one each.

First-year player Ebony Baker manned the goal.

Coach Baker said, “This championship was a total team effort and every player contributed.”

He added, “We’ve developed a new formation and identity for our play. The girls bought in and we had some bounces go our way. All praise goes to the players.”

Race signups continue Registration is still open for the second annual Race the Reserve, which is set for Saturday, Aug. 10, at

She added, “I may be young, but I have had the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest coaches in the business and have learned that coaching is so much more than coaching. I get to do two things I love; it really is the perfect job.”

Croghan said her goal for Coupeville is “to do the best we can.”

“This translates to wanting to make it back to state again,” she said. “It is going to take a lot of hard work and time. We may not make it right away, but I believe in having very high goals and expectations of the girls.

When they achieve something they never thought was possible, it is life changing for them.”

She said the season will be a success if her players work hard and enjoy the experience.

She doesn’t anticipate making many changes in the Coupeville program but hopes to provide the girls with more opportunities to play.

Artists throughout the festival will offer demonstrations and give visitors a chance to ask questions and interact as they work.

Demonstrations will be held 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Some of the featured demonstrations will include colored pencil art, wire art, native wood carvings, basket weaving and water colors.

The Coupeville Festival was started in 1964 by business owners and citizens. The goal was to showcase the Coupeville community, its arts and to bring visitors to the area.

It became a means to revitalize the town, said festival president Mike Dessert.

Activities have changed over the years, the first year a large batch of sassafrass was offered, Dessert said. It didn’t return in following years.

Proceeds from the festival go back into

the community in the form of grants for various projects and programs.

To date, more than $500,000 has been given back to the community, according to event organizers.

Past grants given to the community include: seed money to start the Coupeville Arts Center, purchase of the Coupeville Library property, participatory grant for the public access stairway on Front St., Coupeville Garden Club’s flower barrels lining Main Street, freezer and vehicle for Gifts from the Heart Food Bank, Penn Cove Water Festival, National History Day Student projects, Arts & Antiques Walk publicity, Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association, Admiralty Head Lighthouse restorative projects, Boys and Girls Club art projects, numerous school projects, Whidbey General Hospital Foundation and Coupeville Farmers Market. n For more information go to www.coupevillefestival.com

Whidbey Island Service Directory

Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose achieved a dream last month.

She got to take the first swing to demolish the transit agency’s former headquarters building.

Rose manned an excavator in mid-July to kick off the demolition for the building that had been emptied now that the new headquarters building is pretty much complete.

“It was quite an event bringing down the old barn,” Rose said. She had stated in the months leading up to demolition date that she wanted to take the first swing to knock down the metal structure.

Construction on Island Transit’s new facility is about 80 percent complete, Rose said.

Staff moved into the administration building in early June while the maintenance staff moved into the new repair bays earlier in July.

Transit officials have been trying for years to upgrade their headquarters campus, which is located on Highway 20 between Coupeville and Outlying Field.

The old building had become too small for Island Transit’s needs; mechanics only had two work bays where they could maintain the bus fleet and staff only had one restroom.

The new facility includes 15,400 square feet of administration and operations space and an additional 34,000 square feet for bus bays.

Plans to build the new headquarters building took a step forward when Island Transit received a $17.9 million federal grant to help pay for the new buildings.

The cost of the project was $22.4 million and Island Transit provided the remaining money as a match for the federal grant.

Rose said the project is about 80 percent complete and it is currently under budget.

Workers will cover the old site with parking and landscaping. Large mounds of dirt workers formed when the site was cleared will, in turn, be used for landscaping around the campus.

Rose said the dirt will be used to place berms around the area to help hide the campus from the view from the highway.

While staff has moved into their new building, one question remains unanswered.

What about the secondary access the new Island Transit needs ?

Rose said the county granted a temporary occupancy permit so Island Transit can move in, but the secondary access will eventually be installed on Old Smith Prairie Road.

Plans for the second entrance are on hold until the Washington State Department of Transportation firms up its plans to reconfigure the intersections in that area.

The preferred plan that came out of a public meeting is to close the Highway 20 intersections at Old Smith Prairie and Parker roads and then funnel traffic to Morris Road.

Washington State Department of Transportation spokesman Dave Chesson said the project is still being designed. Once the designs are complete a public meeting will be scheduled.

He said that meeting should take place in late August, but, as of press time, a date has yet to be been finalized.

An online crowdfunding drive through the service Kickstarter brought in more than $20,000, about $5,000 more than what was originally requested by the festival. Juve, who was in charge of building a donor base, credited large donations from Nancy Nordhoff and Lynn Hayes.

Businesses which purchased advertising to underwrite this season’s production of “Much Ado About Nothing.” The tent cost $32,720; production costs were estimated around $18,000 and construction of the stage was $6,000.

Island Shakespeare Festival announced its venue change this spring, its organizers desired an option that provided them flexibility of

location but a permanent setting. A circus-style tent worked because they could perform on fields as long as it fit the 40-by-60 foot tent.

“We want it to have the feel of the out of doors,” Juve said.

Added Woods: “We didn’t have to spend millions of dollars for a theater.”

“If we choose to, we can tour around Washington or beyond. It offers us more flexibility to be able to tour.”

Organizers said they believe they can seat between 200 and 300 guests inside the tent, and maybe even more on the fringes.

To keep the tent from getting too hot during the August and September heat, the back flaps will likely be rolled up, which also opens

It’s Shakespeare time William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” will be performed during the Island Shakespeare Festival.

Performances take place at 5 p.m., Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays Aug. 3 - Sept. 15 under the big tent behind Langley Middle School. Go to www.islandshake spearefest.org for more information. up another few rows. Even though the festival lost the designed acoustics of the amphitheater at Story House, the organizers will not have amplification to the tent, though there will be lighting for the first time.

The first row will be within arms reach of the stage.

“It’s a very intimate environment,” Juve said. “If you leaned over, you’d be able to touch the stage in the front row.”

What began as a twoweekend festival in 2010 has grown into six weekends in its fourth season this year. Since its inception,

the festival covered William Shakespeare’s hit plays such as “Romeo and Juliet” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

As an established festival, Woods envisions delving into The Bard’s lesser-performed works such as “Taming the Shrew” and “Richard III.” Organizers hope the festival can expand its run within a six-week period next season.

“I didn’t grow up with Shakespeare so much, and this has been a real education for me,” Juve said.

“Rose is a brilliant director and does a good job making it accessible to all.”
