Port to consider managing Langley fairground

Celebrate America to light up Freeland By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record The 20th annual Celebrate America festival will light off in Freeland next week. Continuing a tradition of fun and entertainment, the Thursday, July 3 event takes place in Freeland Park on East Shoreview Drive. “It’s a fair kind of feeling — just a fun atmosphere,” said Dareld Chittim, associate pastor of South Whidbey Assembly of God Church. The church has organized the celebration, which is funded entirely by donations, for the past two decades. The event provides a way for the community to come together in a family-friendly atmosphere and celebrate the freedom that we enjoy as Americans, Chittim said. Food vendors will dish out a smorgasbord of delicacies beginning at 4 p.m. Stacy Madsen, a Whidbey Coffee employee, said the company has been giving out free coffee for the past four years, a tradition they plan to continue. “It’s pretty amazing that such a small community can come together to put on such a big event,” Madsen said. Wee Whidbey Islanders can romp in the bouncy castle or have their faces painted from 3:40 to 7:40 p.m. and island musicians will begin performing at 6 p.m. Performing this year are: HeartGraves, an alternative rock band composed of siblings Conley and Newton Kellogg; South Whidbey Blues Combo with Garrett Poteat on piano,

Four decades has allowed the South Whidbey Kiwanis group to collect a lot of memories and even more moolah from running a fireworks stand in Clinton. On Wednesday, the non-profit group committed to helping children was back at it, setting up the trailer that houses about 75 cases’ worth of sparklers and ground blooms and mortars and a sinister-looking 16-shot box called “YOU Da’ MAN.” For a pair of Kiwanians who have helped run the stand for several years, some memories are getting as hazy as the night sky around Independence Day on Whidbey Island. Ron Myers, the past club president and the current regional president in charge of several Kiwanis clubs around Western Washington, recalled that the stand never sold a $600 package of fireworks. His comrade at the booth disagreed. Don Lamontagne said not only did it sell every year, but some years they had to order a second one for an eager customer. The truth existed somewhere between their stances. Liz Lisicich, the TNT Fireworks sales area manager in charge of the Whidbey stands, has worked with the South Whidbey Kiwanis since she started in the fireworks business. She said the larger packages sell some

Boat launches, marinas and leasing land for a cell tower, but the Island County Fairgrounds? In a surprise move Wednesday, Port of South Whidbey commissioners voted unanimously to consider taking over management of the Langley property, a job currently performed by the Island County Fair Association. The decision — approved by commissioners Curt Gordon, Dennis Gregoire and Ed Halloran — was nothing more than a promise to begin a dialogue with county officials, but board members made it clear they were interested. “There’s great opportunity there as an Island County event center,” said Gordon, president of the board. “It fits the port’s mission, it fits the port’s taxing authority; it is probably prudent at least that we look into this.” He emphasized that any future agreement with Island County, which holds the deed to the nearly 13-acre fairgrounds, would be limited to stewardship of the property and not orchestrating the annual event itself. “I want it to be clear that ... we want to support the fair, but don’t want anything to do with running a fair,” Gordon said. That’s just fine with leading fair association members. Diane Divelbess, president of the group, told The Record Thursday that the proposal was “exciting” as it might be a solution SEE FAIRGROUNDS, A13

Vaughan named interim Island County commissioner By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Aubrey Vaughan said Thursday that as interim commissioner he wants to rebuild the connection between Camano and Whidbey islands and help the county through this year’s budget process. “One of the reasons I’m running is I feel there’s been a disconnect,” said Vaughan. “I promise to restore that.” And as the board begins its annual budget cycle, Vaughan said putting together a budget, which is usually adopted in the fall, is going to be one of his primary duties. “This budget cycle is going to be very important,” said Vaughan. After inter viewing three candidates at a special session Tuesday, Commissioners Jill Johnson and Helen Price Johnson deliberated for roughly 15 minutes in closed session before returning to open session and voting to appoint Vaughan, of Camano, as interim Island County commissioner for District 3. Vaughan has been a member of the Island County Law and Justice Council, a seat he will relinquish during his commissioner service. The District 3 seat was vacated suddenly in May when Kelly Emerson resigned seven months short of her term’s end, giving a one week notice. Per state law, Emerson’s party, the Republicans, selected three candidates to be interviewed by commissioners to fill the short-term position.

running,” Johnson said. Johnson said while the decision was tough, she tried to prioritize what was good for the county over her own preferences. “It is difficult to tap one to sit up here and leave two others to sit in the audience,” Johnson said. “It has been challenging for me to think through the difference between the action I take as a commissioner and the way I would vote as an

individual with my own private ballot.” Price Johnson said she had a “level of discomfort” about having to choose a fellow commissioner when ballots are going out in a few weeks. She blamed Emerson for her early departure. “In a few short weeks the ballots are going to go out and District 3 will be making their preference known,”

Price Johnson said. “Two of the names that will appear on those ballots aren’t even available for us to consider. So none of us in this room created that situation … it was the outgoing commissioner who established this unfortunate timeline for us with her resignation.” Price Johnson stressed that the board selection for an interim commissioner was not an endorsement for the November election. “I want to make very clear that I don’t see this action today as an endorsement of any kind. We are charged with filling an opening and that’s the way that I’m approaching this decision,” Price Johnson said. “I encourage folks to be engaged in the process and get to know the candidates.” Vaughan echoed this plea, saying that he was chosen to fill a short-term need and that all candidates on the ballot should be considered.

FIRE/EMS Abandoned brush burn kicks up A deserted slash burn off of Cultus Bay Road that was kicked up by strong wind gusts Thursday had to be doused by South Whidbey Fire/EMS. “It was four large brush piles that they lit on fire, and they were actually burning into the brush,” said Deputy Chief Jon Beck, who was the commanding officer at the fire. “It was an uncontrolled burn.” Beck said 10 volunteers from the fire protection district used 3,500 gallons of water and 7 gallons of

foam to knock out the fire. They had to extinguish the burn just south of Deer Lake Road because it was moving toward the nearby brush, Beck said. Wind gusts kicked up the flames after the person in charge of the fire had left. Beck was not aware if it was a county-permitted burn. “That’s why they say you have to be there,” he said. Chief Rusty Palmer said the recent string of high temperatures, clear skies and wind have begun to dry out the grasses on South Whidbey. He and other fire district officials have begun discussing a county-wide burn ban, though that decision is ultimately up to Sheriff Mark Brown, Island County’s fire marshal.

second memorandum that granted Moccia a $2,500 pay raise. School board director Damian Greene, the body’s representative on the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, was the only board member to oppose the increase. “Personally I wish everyone in the district could get a raise, but not knowing where we are with McCleary and the legislative branch … It’s not personal; it’s just me with the school district and I want to be, at this time, under the radar for us. So I just want you to know I’m not in favor of the raise. But I appreciate the work you’re doing; you’re doing a great job,” said Greene. The board also honored graduating high school student Sydney Ackerman, who was the first student to serve on the board, with a certificate of recognition and memento for her contribution. “She’s done a great job and added a whole new dynamic to the board and lots of interesting perspectives from students and from herself,” said Linda Racicot, chairwoman of the board.

WHIDBEY Expecting Southern Resident orca? Rhapsody, formally known as Southern Resident orca J-32, may be pregnant. It’s by no means certain, as the only evidence are recent pictures of the 18-year-old female with a curiously round belly. Island experts are highly skeptical, but admit she is the right age, and could very well be carrying an unborn calf. “It really is just a fun rumor; I wouldn’t substantiate it,” said Howard Garrett, a founder of the South Whidbey-based Orca Network. However, he said it is possible. “It may well be,” Garrett said. “She does look a little large.” Unfortunately, short of a physical examination or collection of feces — a dif-

ficult task to say the least — there is no surefire way of knowing when an orca is pregnant. Researchers can only guess and wait and see, he said. Southern Resident orcas, which travel between California and Alaska, are a distinct population segment of a sub-species composed of J, K and L pods, totaling 80 individuals. They’re unique in that they don’t interbreed with other orcas of the world. According to Garrett, it’s no surprise people are on the lookout for newborns. One or two per year are common, but the last recorded birth was nearly two years ago, in August of 2012. “It’s way overdue to see a new baby,” Garrett said. He noted that the sub-species has lost four individuals in the past year and a half — older members that have disappeared and are presumed dead — so a newborn would be a welcome addition.

Fair association resumes ‘family-friendly’ bingo nights By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Island County Fair Association leaders hope that a game of chance will have them yelling “bingo!” like the crowds at the Coffman Building. The third night of the recently resurrected association-organized bingo is tonight, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Diane Divelbess, president of the fair association board, said she had plenty of fun at one of the first two bingo nights, from which all of the money goes into producing the annual Whidbey Island Area Fair. “We applied to the Washington Gambling Association and jumped through all the hoops,” Divelbess said, adding that their games are crafted to be more nice than vice. “It’s considered almost like a family form of gambling than it is hardcore.” At $12 for the initial buy-in of 18 games and $1.25 for the dauber, — the ink stamp to mark when a called number matches the number on the card — the three-hours of entertainment are cheaper than a movie ticket at a large cineplex.

Editorial

Port, fair proposal needs close scrutiny Once a week the South Whidbey Record publishes a history column, 50 Years Ago Today. The idea is to remind readers who we are, where we came from and to get an occasional chuckle over lighter stories of the past, such as last week’s column which told how a Record reporter fell asleep at a long ago Langley City Council meeting. It does something else, however, and that’s reveal a cyclical nature of life on Whidbey Island. People are still talking about the same old stuff — beach access, hospital bonds, kids who made honor roll and preserving pieces of history. In the decades to come, the column will remind us of Greenbank Farm, the tale of a community rallying together to save a property from development and how the Port of Coupeville sailed to the rescue. It will also tell how the port later nearly went broke under the financial weight of keeping up the over 100-year-old facility — along with bills to maintain the 100-year-old wharf — and that despite the farm’s handful of shops and annual events the facility has never been the shining star of rural economic development that so many dreamed of. Given those challenges, one would think other ports would run screaming from taking on ancient properties, yet the Port of South Whidbey this week agreed to consider traveling a nearly identical road with the Island County Fairgrounds by becoming its property manager. Thus, here we go again. Perhaps there is potential for economic development to be accomplished from the realization of an island event center, but it will be a long and expensive road. Island County Fair Association leaders say they need $100,000 a year to properly maintain the fairground’s 27 buildings. That’s a hefty price tag, and even if paid there’s little guarantee the facility will become a year-round bustling hub of commerce. One need only look a few miles up the highway for an example, for Greenbank Farm is essentially the same thing — a gathering place for annual events and activities. It’s lovely, adds invaluable charm to Whidbey Island, but unfortunately it’s never really paid for itself. Rather than swimming in revenue, Port of Coupeville commissioners have raided their coffers again and again, making investment after investment, resulting in few jobs and limited economic payoff. Port districts are not in the preservation business, they are in the economic development business. Their taxing authority is not granted to fund sentimentality, it’s to create avenues for new business and boost employment in their communities. A property manager needs to be found for the fairgrounds, but it remains to be seen whether the Port of South Whidbey is the best organization for the job. Consider this proposal carefully, commissioners.

Oak Harbor — are frustrated with Navy noise and environmental pollution. Not every protest is by COER, but COER is sympathetic with all Growler noise victims and supports their legal efforts to protect themselves. COER members did not attend Rick Larsen’s campaign event in Coupeville to protest. Almost all of us in attendance have repeatedly voted for Larsen. We went there to hear what he had to say about our concerns. Larsen refused to publicly address the noise issue and even stated to one attendee that it wasn’t his problem. When he refused to address our concerns, almost everyone in the room left. This walkout was a spontaneous response to Larsen’s refusal to talk to us as a group about our concerns. If he was embarrassed at his event, it was due to his own cowardice, apathy and arrogance, not because of any action on COER’s part. Michael Monson,

COER’s president, is not a bully. He was angry with Joe Mosolino because Mosolino publicly disclosed Monson’s personal information in order to discredit Monson. At the Larsen event, it was Mosolino who threatened to punch Monson, not the other way around. Neither Monson nor COER ever threatened anyone with violence. We are not the ones advocating rape and arson as political tools. We have never even called for a reciprocal boycott of Oak Harbor businesses. We are not the bullies. Lastly, you can hide from the science, but that doesn’t make it go away. The medical and scientific evidence is unquestionable: Noise kills. Even the federal government’s (including the Navy’s) own scientists and doctors agree. Public exposure to the noise generated by the Growlers is a very real and serious health crisis. Reading the letters recently posted in the

Page A7

Whidbey News-Times by noise supporters would be discouraging if not for the volumes of emails and comments COER receives in support of its mission. The pro-OLF folks seem to believe that certain Americans and select communities are more valuable and more deserving than others, and that the lives, health and welfare of some Americans count for nothing. When did we forget that under our constitution we are all equal in the eyes of government and the law? PAULA SPINA Director Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve

why the famous anchor, recovered recently off the shores of Whidbey Island, and supposedly from the HMS Chatham, should be shipped all the way across the country for evaluation and preservation. I cannot believe that we here in the Pacific Northwest don’t have the facilities and skills to do the job as well, if not better, than Texas A&M University. Capt. Vancouver’s ships were exploring Puget Sound, the anchor was lost in our waters, and the divers that found it and recovered it were local men.

Climbing for cancer research By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record To hear Freeland resident Chris Kesler talk about his upcoming summit of Mount Rainier, reaching the top of Washington’s highest peak is a small task. At least, it is compared to the people for whom he’s taking each step and raising $5,000: breast cancer patients. When Kesler, 49, runs into one Whidbey woman who is a breast

cancer survivor, she thanks him each and every time for similar past ascents he’s made. But she also asks him if he plans on doing it another year, and he has given her the same response the past two years. “I say, ‘I don’t know,’ “ Kesler said. “Then when it comes around time to do it, there’s a pull … It’s still meaningful.” “It gives them hope that eventually there will be a cure,” he added. Despite not having a direct con-

nection to breast cancer, which has not afflicted any of his family members, he keeps climbing year after year. Kesler is tackling his third Washington summit as part of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center’s Climb for Breast Cancer Research. The past two years he hiked Mount Adams and Mount Baker. The climb is a fundraiser for the Seattle-based lab that is working toward cures for various types of cancer. Mount Rainier is one of 13 trips across the globe this year, all of which funnel money through donations directly to the center. According to the climb’s website, it has raised nearly $7 million since 1997. That money goes toward early-stage cancer research and studies, and helps researchers’ quickly respond to new information and technology and facilities, rather than waiting for federal or state funding. On this trip, Kesler pledged to raise $5,000. He takes off July 18-20 with seven other hikers and four guides. As of June 27, he had raised $4,560 - $440 away from his goal. About one-third came from subcontractors and the construction company he works for, Lydig Construction. The rest, he said, has come from friends and family. “Fifty bucks at a time, you know,” Kesler said. The support Kesler and his donors gave to the center was well appreciated by Lisa Carlson, the event man-

ager of Climb to Fight Breast Cancer. “It is amazing how much money, and how dedicated this group of individuals is year after year,” Carlson said, adding that there are about 100 climbers total for this year’s summits. “And Chris has been just wonderful.” Training for the climbs has become his pastime. He worked out three days each week and hiked every weekend. Earlier in June, Kesler took a trip to climb Mount Shasta, nearly as high as Mount Rainier’s 14,411-foot peak, to adjust and see how his body responds to the thinner oxygen. “Guys like Chris are so good,” Carlson said. “He could go out climbing on his own. He wouldn’t necessarily need all of the services we provide. But he’s committed to the cause.” A baseball coach for the past 10 years with a daughter in college and a son entering his senior year of high school, Kesler said mountain climbing and training for the breast cancer hikes have become his emptynest replacement. Instead of coming home and wondering where the kids are, he works out at Island Sweat Shop in Clinton or trains by lugging a weighted pack up and down a bluff three times.

Responsible Pet Ownership

Vacation Bound! No Pets, Please! By Tresa Erickson You’re going on vacation in a couple of months, but unlike some people, you can’t take your dog with you. They can barely handle short trips to the vet, much less a 10-hour trip to the beach. If you are lucky, you have a friend or relative willing to look after your dog. If not, you may have to look into hiring a pet sitter or boarding your dog. Either way, you’ll have to shell out some bucks, which could leave you with far less to spend on your vacation. Ugh. If only there were another option. Lucky for you, there is—a dog sitting exchange.

Dog sitting exchanges are the latest in pet sitting services, and remarkably, they are free! That’s right. You don’t pay the person who looks after your dog a dime. Instead, you return the favor by looking after their dog or a dog of another group member sometime. Essentially, members of a dog sitting exchange barter services. No money is ever exchanged. Dog sitting exchanges are springing up in areas across the country. One look online can uncover dozens

of possibilities. To become part of a dog sitting exchange, you must be a responsible dog

owner and follow some basic rules. Generally, your dog must be in good health and well

behaved. Your home must be clean inside and out. You must have all of your dog’s supplies in good order and their vaccinations up to date. You must also be willing to put in the time. You can’t just sign up as a member of a dog sitting exchange, get someone to watch your dog while you are on vacation and forever be busy when someone calls on you to watch their dog. Eventually, the members of the exchange will catch on and ask you to

Local residents quest for fibers

Kate Daniel / The Record

Mary Donaty gives one of her Pygora goats a smooch at Paradise Found Fiber Farm. Pygoras are just one of three animals from which Donaty gathers fibers.

Weavers and farmers display their goods at annual tour By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record When Mary Donaty was 10 years old, she fell in love. This love was unlike any other — assertive, quirky, with a penchant for eating hair bows. And the object of her affection? A llama. Today, 56 years later, Donaty raises llamas, alpacas and Pygora goats on Paradise Found Fiber Farm, tucked away in the forest of Clinton. She is also the founder of Whidbey Island’s annual celebration of fibers, the Whidbey Island Fiber Quest. Donaty said she began the quest as a way of letting the public get a glimpse into the world of fibers, from raising and shearing the animals to spinning the spools. “I’ve organized this event so that we open our farms and share and tell the story of how we got to do what we individually do and how we work together as a unit,” she said. “I’ve been a fiber person for over 30 years and [taken]many paths, many roads, tried farmers markets

and things, and what I’ve found works best for me was to open my farm up and bring people here so I can give them a history lesson. I can give them the touch and feel of the animal. And I can show them what is possible to do with the fiber.” In years past, Donaty has put together two events, one in fall and one in early summer. But this year, there is a twist: it will only be offered once, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, July 5-6. “I switch it up every year,” she said. “We started out just with the fiber farms and then we did Fiber Quest with a Twist and involved other businesses on the island and we did it spring and fall.” Competition and burnout associated with spring and fall events proved a hurdle. Donaty explained that she and others decided to host the quest once in the summer due to more favorable weather and light conditions which should allow attendees to better observe the production process. She has also limited participating businesses to those in the industry, explaining that, with so many other businesses involved, attendees found it difficult to experience everything. “We hope that they con-

centrate just on fiber which is what the birth of this thing is all about, so it’s Fiber Quest with a Twist with a pair of sunglasses on,” she said. Farm participants are Fern Ridge Alpacas, Paradise Found Fiber Farm, Pronkin’ Pastures Alpaca Ranch, Frosen Acres Alpacas, Olympic Mist Farm, Island Bliss Alpacas. Two shops, Knitty Purls and Whidbey Isle Yarns, Gifts and Teas, will also participate and sell local goods. Lynn Sheffield, of Olympic Mist Farm Alpacas, said she has been involved with Fiber Quest since its inception. “I have a farm store here, so for me it’s a way for me to get people to come and visit the farm and the store and learn more about the fiber,” she said. Sheffield and others will also demonstrate spinning to visitors. “I think the event tends to attract people that don’t live here on the island, so it’s just a great way to expand information about the hobby farm life and farm life and [give] information about the alpaca fiber and spinning and weaving out to the general public and expand our customer base,” she said. Most of the farms raise alpacas, which are nearly

Paradise Found Fiber Farm, of which Donaty is owner and operator, is the only farm that produces three fiber types — those from llamas, alpacas and Pygora goats. Several of Donaty’s animals were rescued. She calls her farm a demonstration of the “circle of life;” the animals have a home and provide her with fibers to sell, which in turn pays for their food. According to Donaty, a variety of fiber products will be for sale on farms and in

the shops from roving to yarn and handmade items such as apparel and gifts. Knitty Purls employee Lou Ann Toeppen said the event brings in quite a bit of foot traffic and helps both local farmers and businesses by spreading the word about Whidbey’s fiber offerings. Knitty Purls will be selling fibers and demonstrating spinning technique as a part of the quest. Tickets may be purchased at any participating retailer or farm, or online at whidbeyfiberquest.com. At each location visited,

participants will receive an initialed business card and have their ticket signed. Patrons will have a chance to win a gift certificate in one of two ways: for every $25 purchase, the participant will be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift certificate; after visiting eight locations, participants will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift certificate; some fiber shops will also have their own drawings and ways to win. Drawings for the $25 and $50 gift certificates will be held July 18.

ning. The Washington State Patrol reported that Freeland resident Michael Breiling, 25, was northbound in a 2002 Ford F350 on Highway 525 and drifted over the centerline near the intersection with Houston Road. The truck struck a guardrail, rolled off the roadway and struck a tree. Breiling was seriously injured and airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The State Patrol reports that drugs or alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, but the cause is still under investigation. A few hours earlier, a southbound Brushworks NW van crashed near the intersection of Highway 525 and Race Road. The driver said he dozed off and didn’t make the turn in the road, according to the trooper at the scene. The van went off the road to the right, struck a tree and rolled on its side. The driver and a passenger didn’t appear to be injured, but were transported to Whidbey General Hospital as a precaution.

South Whidbey Port Commissioner Curt Gordon speaks during a special meeting Wednesday. The port agreed to consider a future partnership with Island County to take over property management of the fairgrounds in Langley.

FAIRGROUND CONTINUED FROM A1

to the funding headaches that have plagued the fairgrounds. The problem is so severe the non-profit association has threatened to back out of its existing lease with the county to maintain the property and its 27 buildings unless the county agrees to provide the group with more money. It is not, however, interested in relinquishing its role of putting on the four-day event. “We have no intention of not managing the fair — we’re good at it,” Divelbess said. Wednesday’s decision came at the urging of Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson. The District 2 Republican attended the port’s special meeting in Freeland and said recent discussions about the fairground’s future have made it clear that the county should not be in the property management business, Johnson said. The commissioner added that she wasn’t there with a formal offer, just a pitch to discuss the possibility of a future partnership. “What I’m not prepared to do is propose marriage... but I would like to ask the board if we could seriously date — not a one-night stand, but seriously date,” Johnson said. Earlier this year, fair visionaries unveiled the Island County Fairgrounds Master Plan, a proposal to turn the facility into an island event center over a 10-year period and to the tune of more than $10 million. The plan called for the demolition of about half of the ground’s existing structures.

“What became clear in that process is that for the fairgrounds to reach its full potential, it needs active management,” said Johnson, adding that the port and its mission for economic development may be just the organization to pull it off. Plenty of concern was voiced by Gordon’s fellow commissioners: Halloran questioned the financial viability of the proposal, and Gregoire the challenges of stacking it onto the port’s existing workload, but both

ultimately agreed to investigate further. Gordon, who was involved in the master plan’s creation, argued that the potential for “economic development” — a port’s primary duty —is there but that it’s also a chance to nurture and preserve something precious. “[The Fairgrounds] is one of the few last cultural pieces that South Whidbey has,” said Gordon. “What that means is, you don’t go full throttle just because it makes you the most money,” Gordon said.

“You gotta make sure you respect the unique rural character and environment of South Whidbey Island, and I think we could do the best job of anybody.” Divelbess said the association is “quite capable” of managing the property, but not under the terms of its current lease agreement with Island County, which provides just $30,000 per year in capital funding. She maintains the job requires three times that, about $100,000, which is why association leaders recently told the county commissioners they would not renew the existing lease when it expires Sept. 30 unless they are supplied with additional funding. That ultimatum may have been a precursor to Johnson’s proposal.

“The county knows if we don’t get any money, we’ll pull away from property management,” she said. Divelbess said having a new landlord might result is some initial “do-si-doing” over event schedules, but she is hopeful that such an arrangement would be beneficial to all. “I’m optimistic, but I’m always optimistic,” she said. Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, a District 1 Democrat, did not attend Wednesday’s meeting, but she’s been in contact with port, and other junior taxing district officials on the South End, including the South Whidbey Parks and

Recreation District and Langley. Representatives of those organizations were also willing to talk about possible partnerships, said Price Johnson, but none of them have taken action as formal as a vote. The commissioner said the financial realities of the fairgrounds remains the same. Revenue from the annual fair is not enough to cover property expenses, and the county needs to find a manager that can take on the task, especially with a September deadline fast approaching. “Bringing people together to address that is what we’re doing,” Price Johnson said.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SAGITTARIUS, CAPRICORN, AND AQUARIUS.

Week of June 29 to July 5, 2014 ARIES

You’re most likely an ambitious person, but you need to build up your self-confidence before you can succeed. Look for healthy ways to boost your self-esteem.

TAURUS

You are, typically, a person who requires stability. If you’re in the middle of moving, find some reassurance by asking your loved one for some affection.

GEMINI

People under this sign are great communicators, and thus you spare no effort in expressing disagreement. You won’t hesitate to let the whole world know about any sort of injustice.

CANCER

A precarious financial situation leads to some anxiety. If you look at things from a more dispassionate perspective, you will see that this is only a temporary situation.
