Heavyweight champions Changes coming to lighthouse

By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Management of the Admiralty Head Lighthouse will be changing hands later this year and an employment position will be opening up.

Currently, lighthouse operations are managed by Washington State University’s Island County Extension, but the Washington State Parks service will be taking over.

WSU extension director Tim Lawrence said in the 1990s the lighthouse wasn’t even open. WSU worked with the parks service to create a docent program and get Admiralty Head open.

Funding for a lighthouse manager position is funded by the state’s Lighthouse Environmental Program through the county.

Volunteers under the program were already being logged as parks volunteers.

The question arose whether the parks service wanted an outside employee managing parks volunteers.

Having a parks employee supervise parks volunteers limits the liability, said

Auction, run raise funds for boys and girls club

By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

The Coupeville Boys and Girls Club will host two events next week in an effort to raise funds for its general operations budget.

Jamie Scharich, director of the club, said fundraising efforts this year will be split between the annual auction and dinner and a fun run tied in with the Haunting of Coupeville.

On Saturday, Oct. 17 the club will host a scaled back version of its annual dinner and auction.

Giant pumpkins weigh-off Saturday

By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

After 45 years of teaching in the Oak Harbor School District, Mike Radach reversed roles this spring when he got a quick lesson in growing giant pumpkins from his son.

Matt Radach, whose interest in growing massive pumpkins sprouted five years ago, gave his dad a small plant that he started indoors from a seed, then added a few pointers.

Mike Radach found a spot near a cedar tree in his Oak Harbor yard in May, stuck the plant in the ground and then watched as nature took its course.

“It was just this little seedling,” Mike Radach said. “Then I babied it along in the cold of May and June, and then it got nice and warm in July and August.”

Months of nurturing and regular sunshine have turned Radach’s pumpkin into a sight that causes cars to slow down in his Oak Harbor neighborhood.

At roughly 400 pounds, Radach’s pump-

kin isn’t expected to be the largest at the Whidbey Island Giant Pumpkin Contest Saturday, Oct. 11, at Coupeville’s Harvest Fest.

But for a rookie effort, it’s something to behold.

“I think he did really good for his first year trying,” said Matt Radach, 1997 graduate of Oak Harbor High School who now lives on Camano Island. “I was really surprised at how big it got.”

The younger Radach is somewhat of a giant pumpkin aficionado, having grown pumpkins in excess of 1,000 pounds.

He started getting serious about growing giant gourds after curiosity led him to pur-

chase some giant pumpkin seeds from a farmers supply store in Stanwood five years ago.

His first year, a seed produced an 80-pound pumpkin, which triggered a competitive drive.

“I said, ‘I can do better this,’” Matt said.

“I started researching on the Internet. The next year, it was 441 pounds, and it built from there.”

Matt Radach grew three giant pumpkins in his Camano Island yard this year. One of them, a 1,223-pounder, placed fifth during a weigh-off at the Washington State Fair in

Congressional candidates buck party platforms

Incumbent Rick Larsen, a Democrat, has been critical of President Obama for his use of military action, including the recent Syrian air attacks, without Congressio-

nal oversight.

“If we’re really going to do this well and down the road be able to do it again, it’s important that the executive branch and the legislative branch get on the same page,” Larsen said last week.

Republican challenger BJ Guillot said he believes the president is operating within the parameters of his position.

“He has the right to do it, it gives him the ability,” Guillot said. “If he believes there’s an imminent threat he can use force.”

While Congress doesn’t have the power to stop the president-ordered military action, it could vote to cut off the funding for the operation, a move Guillot said he would support.

Despite representing a primarily liberal state in which voters legalized marijuana, Larsen said isn’t in favor of legalizing marijuana at a federal level, but just wanted to “get out of the way” of the new legislation.

Guillot said he has no issues with marijuana as long as people follow the laws and pay the appropriate taxes. Guillot said he would support a federal legaliza-

tion if elected.

Larsen, a supporter of the oil and gas rail industry, has called for increased regulation and support for the country’s railway systems.

“Moving goods and people safely and efficiently creates jobs and keeps our economy strong,” Larsen said in a prepared release.

“Washington state’s trade in products from airplane parts to apples means we need a robust transportation system, including railways.”

Guillot said he isn’t in favor of the coal or oil trains.

He conceded that “may sound strange coming from a Republican.”

Increased train traffic would translate into roadblocks on major highways, he said, explaining why he’s not supportive of the industry.

“I believe it would cause way too much traffic.”

Both Larsen and Guillot agree that Whidbey Island Naval Air Station should be the home to the controversial EA-18G Growlers and that Outlying Field Coupeville should continue to be used for training.

They are also both supportive of protecting Wash-

ington’s environmental resources.

On the issues of immigration, gun control and balancing the budget, however, they align more with their respective parties.

Guillot said he doesn’t favor amnesty, but rather would like to see the immigration process simplified.

“I want to ensure the borders are secure,” he said.

“I think there are ways we can expedite the immigration. It’s a very long and costly process now.”

“We need to take a long look at it and see how we can speed it up.”

Larsen said he supports a path to citizenship that would allow amnesty to those who are currently living illegally in this country.

During his tenure, Larsen said has supported three attempts to reform immigration.

“I’m on my third iteration of immigration reform,” Larsen said. “It’s frustrating to me that we can’t get the ball over the line on that issue.”

Guillot said he supports a fair tax model, one which would eliminate all payroll taxes and create a type of national sales tax based on consumption.

Larsen, who supports the current progressive tax system, said he believes a fair tax is simply “a way to shrink the size of government and not solve any of the problems.”

Larsen said he also disagrees with Guillot’s support of a Constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget, explaining he believes it would limit the government’s ability to respond to a crisis.

“What I want to see is the United States having a

balanced budget,” Guillot said. “It’s gonna take some work to get to that, but it should be a goal.”

Larsen said there are more practical ways to keep in check government spending.

A supporter of pro-background-check legislation, Larsen said he supports tighter gun control, particularly with regard to larger weapons such as assault rifles. That, he said, should

Guillot, a gun owner himself, said he supports the right to carry a gun.

“We don’t need background checks,” Guillot said. “The constitution clearly states that we have the right to keep and bear arms and I fully support that.”

“I’m a gun owner, and I’m proud to be a gun owner.”

Former contractor challenges county auditor

and oversight in the Auditor’s Office. Crider said her replacement accounting staff has the experience and work ethic to bring the county’s financial reporting on track.

“The training, quite candidly, is something that comes from experience; it’s not an overnight thing,” Crider said. “You need to be able to have time in the position to do the work, and we have folks in place now who can learn the work and are competent and very capable.

They are committed to the positions they are in.”

Having worked specifically on financial statements both in Skagit and Island counties, Wagner said she could do a better job of reviewing the documents for accuracy.

Wagner also described Crider’s management style as somewhat impersonal compared to the Skagit County auditor who would “walk through and say hello to everybody.”

“She just acknowledged that the people in her office

were there,” Wagner said.

“Sheilah would come in well after everyone else and go into her office and didn’t say hello. I just personally think that makes a huge difference in how people feel about where they work.”

During her tenure, Crider has initiated new programs like e-Recording, a Quick Title program and accepting debit cards at Department of Licensing offices.

Wagner said there are even more technological efficiencies that the auditor could implement, but Crider said that budgetary constraints have made it difficult.

“We continue to ask for additional funds to implement new processes and

GRACE

BY THE SEA AN ANGLICAN EXPRESSION OF FAITH

An accounting contractor who worked for the Island County auditor is challenging her former boss in November’s general election.

Independent candidate Rebecca Wagner, who worked in the Auditor’s Office for five months in 2011 and three months in 2012, is questioning the performance of Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider.

“When Sheilah was running unopposed, I decided I could do a better job,” Wagner said in a Wednesday interview. “I think Sheilah’s a nice person probably, but I just don’t think she engages with her people.”

Crider said she has succeeded in her role over two terms despite going through a period of economic turmoil and the resulting budget cuts.

“I have taken the Island County Auditor’s Office through the darkest of times, through the deepest global recession we could have, and my office was reduced some 36 percent,” Crider said.

“You don’t do that without the experience and a capability and the knowledge to help pull your staff together and get them through that time.”

Island County was cited by the State Auditor’s Office for “significant deficiencies” in its financial reporting last week. Among other issues, the state auditor found that a complete turnover in accounting staff in the last year contributed to the errors.

Crider said her department is “regrettably part of a good-news story” where her people have been able to move onto better-paying jobs within the county. In addition, two accounting staff members moved out of state.

However, based on her observations while contracting in the office, Wagner said the turnover is “because there’s dissatisfaction” in the Auditor’s Office.

“It’s a sad situation. Honestly, I just couldn’t not run,” Wagner said.

As a result of the finding, the state auditor has recommended increased training

we’ve lived within the budgetary constraints and done everything that we could,” Crider said. “Does it mean we don’t have other ideas?

Absolutely not.”

Despite staffing and budgetary cuts in recent years, Crider said not a single payroll has been missed in her nearly two terms as auditor.

Still, Wagner characterized the county’s payroll system as a “mess” and something that would be a top priority for her to fix if elected.

In the end, Wagner said her CPA and background in accounting would be a muchneeded asset to the county.

“I’ve got so much experience in finance and accounting. I’ve got so much experience managing people. I live in Coupeville. I would love to have a government job because of the pension,” Wagner said. “I’m familiar with some of the key people, and I believe we could word well together and get things turned around. This is sort of a culmination of my whole career. … It brings it all together and I can use all my skills and abilities.”

Crider said that her several years’ experience as

General excellence is a team effort The Whidbey Examiner was recently recognized for general excellence among Washington state community newspapers.

Each year at the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association Better Newspaper Contest, newspaper professionals recognize and celebrate each others’ efforts.

This is the second year in a row the Examiner has placed first for General Excellence in its circulation group. Entries are judged by newspaper folks from other states.

Judges praised the Examiner for providing the kind of community news “that brings people together and lets them get to know their neighbors.”

The judges also praised the Examiner’s clean, uncluttered design and the way it presents stories and images in an easy-tofollow format.

Compared to other newspapers its size, the Examiner has a wealth of experience and talent to draw on as part of the larger Whidbey News Group.

At the same time, we strive to make the newspaper something that reflects the unique Central Whidbey character. After all, it’s not every community with such history and such an active and engaged population. As the county seat, it’s the scene of many political showdowns and courtroom dramas.

Co-editor Megan Hansen covers most of the beats in Coupeville, from town governance to schools to downtown businesses. She is also known to opine on the opinion page.

Feature writer Ron Newberry weaves stories about the people that make up the fabric of the community. His photos convey a million words.

Sports editor Jim Waller covers high school sports with an eye for detail and storytelling. He’s the guy with the umbrella on the sidelines.

Reporter Janis Reid writes hard-hitting stories about county government.

Reporter Michelle Beahm covers the ins and outs of the hospital.

Co-editor Jessie Stensland churns out the occasional in-depth piece.

Local columnists Harry Anderson and Toni Grove write thought-provoking works that may elicit laughter or, in Anderson’s case, the periodic raised eyebrow.

It all adds up to community news.

We always strive to improve. Don’t hesitate to share your comments or story ideas.

Shelli received wonderful support from Ken Hofkamp and his staff at the Prairie Center Red Apple in collecting donations.

Amy McShane and the board of Harbor Haven with proceeds from The New Beginning

Thrift Store made a donation that helped immensely in serving the students. Camber Christian, the Missions and Outreach Coordinator of the Oak Harbor Living Faith Christian Center, organized a supply drive that garnered numerous stylish backpacks as well as boxes of needed items. The Whidbey General Hospital Employee Council should also be appreciated for promoting a backpack school supply drive that gathered many new backpacks and school materials.

We would like to offer our gratitude to the Coupeville branch of Whidbey Island Bank, Cascade Insurance, the Coupeville Coffee and Bistro and the Methodist Church for giving space in their business for the collection drop boxes. We want to thank the many other generous individuals that donated to the drop

toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel Some garden jobs can wait, but other tasks done now can mean less stress in the spring.

For example, don’t let your lavenders go through winter without shearing them back. Yes, you can wait until early spring, but they’ll look a lot better with a decent hair cut. Trust me on this.

Russian sage is not a sage, though it likes sun and welldrained soil like garden sages do.

These plants have wonderful bright blue flowers and look best when they’ve got an upright form. You can leave them alone through the winter and their white stems will add interest to the garden Then cut them back after their new growth revs up in the spring.

However, I’ve seen a lot of splayed ones lately that spread out and sprawl drunkenly across their flowerbed

neighbors in an awkward and rude way. This will not add interest to the garden, just chaos. You can cut these back now, but not right to the ground. Leave a few inches of stem. See if they’re more upright next year. If not, thin out the number of stems to just the thickest ones.

If you can’t stand looking at the dried-out and frayed flowers on your hydrangea, go out and cut off only the flower heads, otherwise wait until spring to see which stems have died off and which are keepers before you cut. This will save you a lot of time.

Hydrangeas bloom on the previous year’s growth, and if you cut them way back, they may not flower next season.

That being said, you can cut them back drastically any time of the year if you need to bring them down a notch.

Just know you’ve cut off the next season’s flower buds.

If you don’t want a million more columbine in your beds, cut off the spent flower stems before the seed heads have matured.

You’ll know if one has already matured if it’s open at the top and sounds like a tiny maraca when you give it a gentle shake. Just don’t shake

it too hard or you’ll do the wind’s work for it.

I prefer letting my daylilies die back to a grey, mushy mess and then pulling them up in the winter in a single gloppy handful. The same with my crocosmia. But if you like things neat — also less disgusting! — cut them back to the ground once there’s a lot of pale yellow or brown showing instead of bright green leaves. The leaves need to photosynthesize to help feed the roots and corms of many plants for over-wintering and blooming again in the spring or summer, so don’t go crazy and cut them back too soon.

The same goes for iris.

Most of them can stand to be cut back now. Just cut up one side of a fan of leaves and then down the other side in a chevron.

I’ve always just hacked away at them, but a fellow Master Gardener with an amazing garden showed me how much tidier and sharp the beds look by using this little trick.

I never worry about damaging iris because I’m convinced they’re stronger than any of us.

Don’t believe me? Try digging some up.

The Snohomish County Public Utility District announced Tuesday that it will no longer pursue a research project that would have placed two undersea turbines in Admiralty Inlet. PUD officials said they could not move forward because the U.S. Department of Energy decided not to fund a full 50 percent of the project.

Steve Erickson of Whidbey Environmental Action Network, however, said he believes a conflict with the company that owns a fiberoptic submarine cable system was what really doomed the project. Pacific Crossings was laying the groundwork for a lawsuit, he said.

“They were not at all pleased with having the turbines 100 meters away from the cable, which is considered essential national infrastruc-

ture,” he said. “And rightly so.”

Both WEAN and Pacific Crossing filed as intervenors with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission after the PUD submitted a license application for the project.

While Erickson said he’s obviously in favor of clean energy, he prefers small-scale project over the “industrialization of the Puget Sound.”

The Department of Energy agreed in 2010 to share some of the costs. At the time, the project’s price tag was $20 million.

Now, both agencies dispute what they agreed to four years ago.

PUD General Manager Steve Klein says the DOE was going to pay half of the project cost, which was promised in a “gentlemen’s agreement.” DOE officials say their contribution was spelled out in a clearly framed contract, and they would have given no more than $10 million, half of the project’s cost when the contract was signed.

Costs have since ballooned to $38 million. When DOE officials last week told the PUD they wouldn’t get anything beyond the $10 million, the PUD decided to kill the project.

The federal agency contributed $3.5 million in taxpayer money to the project before the plug was pulled.

“In our perspective, it was understood that they were a long-term partner,” Klein said. “Now, as we’re heading into the final go or no-go, they denied funding.”

Jose Zayas, director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Wind and Water Power Technologies Office, last week denied a PUD request for an additional $8.85 million.

In an email to Klein, Zayas wrote that the DOE was committed to contributing the original $10 million.

“By maintaining this level of funding, the program is honoring our signed contractual agreement and maintaining the integrity of the competitive award process,” Zayas wrote.

He urged the PUD to consider “downscoping” the project to bring it back within budget. He also acknowledged the “burdensome review, licensing and permitting processes” PUD officials have cited as the main reason for cost hikes.

“It is my hope that we can find a path forward,” Zayas wrote.

The PUD has spent less than $8 million on tidal energy to date, with about $3.5 million coming from the Department of Energy, Klein said. The deadline for contractors to bid on manufacturing and installing the turbines was Wednesday, the day after officials announced the end of the project.

Because the project is the first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, and one of few around the world, the initial $20 million price tag was a rough estimate, Klein said.

Since 2006, the district has wrestled with a complex and expensive permitting and licensing process, Klein said.

Unexpected fees, studies, delays and challenges, along with specific site and installation requirements, added up to more than expected.

Six months ago, the PUD received its final license and the OK to move forward with preparing an underwater site and installing the two 414-ton turbines.

The PUD has about a year to either start construction or rescind permits for the project. Officials plan to rescind.

“It doesn’t necessarily mean that anybody was bad or foolish,” Klein said. “(The Department of Energy) didn’t need to come through with

Coupeville tennis team snares first 2 wins

By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Two wins by the tennis team highlighted the sports week for Coupeville High School.

The soccer team also won, sliding by Mount Venron Christian; however, the football team fell big at Klahowya.

Tennis Coupeville defeats NM, Chimacum Though Coupeville was down a man because of illness, it pulled out its first two wins of the season, defeating visiting North Mason 4-3 Tuesday, Sept. 30, and host Chimacum 5-2 Thursday, Oct. 2.

Coach Ken Stange had to juggle his lineup with first doubles player Loren Nelson out, but the new look was good enough to squeak out the win over North Mason from Belfair (0-9).

With the team score tied at 3, the freshman duo of William Nelson and Joey Lippo rolled to a 6-2, 6-2 win in third doubles to secure the match for the Wolves.

“They’ve gelled and are playing more like a single player as opposed to a doubles team,” Stange said.

Coupeville also earned wins from second singles Sebastian Davis (6-0, 6-3), third singles Kyle Bodamer (6-0, 6-0) and fourth doubles Connor McCormick and Jimmy Myers (6-1, 6-0).

With Loren Nelson out, Stange opted to move each of his doubles teams up a slot and team Nelson’s partner, Connor McCormick, with the top JV player, Jimmy Myers, in fourth doubles.

“Connor took the experience he’s gained at the top of the doubles lineup, and he was able to take control of the match,” Stange said. “What’s more, Jimmy, as he did when he played varsity singles, raised his game in a significant way. The result was a blowout win.”

The win over 2A North Mason was the Wolves’ first over an Olympic League team; it didn’t take long to record the second.

Coupeville was dominate in most of its individual wins over Chimacum (1-4), and the two matches the Wolves lost were narrow defeats.

The Wolves swept the three singles matches, getting wins from Aaron Curtin (6-3, 6-3), Davis (6-1, 6-2) and Bodamer (6-1, 6-1).

“Sebastian and Kyle were on and off the court in short order, while Aaron faced a pesky defensive tennis player in the top slot,” Stange said.

“Aaron’s opponent just wouldn’t go away. He kept chasing down Aaron’s big shots, but Aaron was able to consistently outlast the top Cowboy.”

The Wolves also won in second doubles (Nelson/ Lippo, 6-2, 8-6) and fourth doubles (McCormick/Myers, 6-3, 10-8).

After the first set of sec-

Coupeville’s next match is also with Chimacum, hosting the Cowboys at 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10.

Soccer Wolves win, lose in MVC match

The Wolves’ Mia Littlejohn, right, out-races a Mount Vernon Christain player to the ball.

In an exasperating match with Mount Vernon Christian, Coupeville finally eked out a 1-0 win but also took a loss Tuesday, Sept. 30, at Mickey Clark Field.

The Wolves dominated the action but had nothing to show for it until Micky LeVine, with an assist from Erin Rosenkranz, scored late in the game to break up the scoreless tie.

Moments later, however, defensive standout Jennifer Spark went down with a knee injury to darken the mood of the nonleague win over the Hurricanes (2-5).

Spark, who will have surgery on her MCL and ACL, will miss the remainder of the season.

Coupeville produced 15 shots on goal and created other opportunities within its 18 to totally control the match. The onslaught finally paid off when LeVine hit the game winner.

Coach Troy Cowan said his defensive line of Spark, Jacquelyn Ginnings, Ivy Luvera and McKenzie Meyer “absolutely controlled the pitch with sheer determination and hustle and sweat.”

He also like the aggressive play of Mia Littlejohn and noted the strong performances of Sage Renninger, Rosenkranz, Ana Luvera, Lauren Bayne and LeVine.

The Wolves (3-2) head to Bremerton (1-4) for a match with a 2A Olympic League team at 6:45 p.m. Thursday,

Oct. 9.

Football Klahowya hands Wolves big loss Most didn’t see this coming.

Coupeville lost 49-6 to Klahowya Friday, Oct. 3, in Silverdale.

While the Eagles’ win was a mild surprise, the real shocker was the score.

Coupeville entered the game with a 3-1 record, 2-0 in Olympic League play. Klahowya was 1-3 and 1-1. The Wolves were fresh off a 29-21 win over Port Townsend, a team that defeated Klahowya 22-9.

The Eagles buried Coupeville with a 35-point second quarter and scrambled the Olympic League 1A division standings.

Now Coupeville, Klahowya and Port Townsend are tied for first in the fourteam division with 2-1 records; Chimacum is 0-3.

The Coupeville-Klahowya game completed the first round of league games; now the four teams meet again to finish the schedule.

The top two teams advance to the playoffs.

Coupeville (3-2) begins round two at Port Townsend at 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10.

Coupeville and Klahowya battled through a scoreless first quarter, though the Wolves had their chances.

Three times Coupeville ad-

vanced inside the Eagle 10 but couldn’t produce any points.

“After that,” Coupeville coach Tony Maggio said, “we were done.”

The Eagles exploded for five second-quarter touchdowns.

Coupeville’s lone score was the game’s last. Backup quarterback C.J. Smith threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Griggs in the fourth quarter.

Smith, in relief of starter Joel Walstad, completed seven of 10 passes for 87 yards.

Walstad, fighting through a hip injury from the previous game, completed four passes for 32 yards before exiting.

He will most likely miss this week’s game, coach Tony Maggio said.

Coupeville’s strong rushing attack, which came into the game averaging 283 yards per contest, was held to 150.

Josh Bayne had 91 yards on 14 carries.

Wiley Hesselgrave led the Wolves on defense with four tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery.

“We are just not healthy,” Maggio said.

Walstad wasn’t the only player to miss time. Lineman Aaron Wright, whom Maggio called his best defender, tried to go with an injured shoulder but competed in only a few plays.

Fullback/linebacker Lathom Kelley sat with a shin injury.

GIANT: Growers face off in giant pumpkin contest at Harvest Fest From page 1 Puyallup in September.

“This was probably the best season, as far as weather, we’ve had since I’ve been growing,” he said.

Warm, sunny weather is only part of the successful recipe for growing recordsetting giant pumpkins, according to Matt Radach, adding that temperatures in the high 80s tend to be ideal, but any hotter, can be detrimental.

Serious giant pumpkin growers test the acidity or alkalinity of a soil, start the plants indoors, provide adequate space and fertilize and water regularly.

Mike Radach initially didn’t follow any of these tips, aside from amending the soil with a little manure, his son said.

He found a mostly shady,

10-foot-by-10-foot spot for the patch in his side yard near two trees and a public sidewalk.

Mostly hidden in a jungle of vines and leaves for most of the summer, the vine was cut and the pumpkin propped up on platform over the weekend for the neighborhood to see from Fairhaven Drive.

“I’m getting a lot of comments now,” Mike Radach said.

Mike Radach said mild curiosity turned a little more serious once a gourd appeared and started growing.

He started watering the pumpkin with warm water and gave it kelp fertilizer and lopped off the top of his trees to provide more sun.

“To me, all you do is put the seed in and let God do the rest,” Mike Radach said.

“Give it water, provide nu-

trients and the light that it needs, and it just goes.

“I’m really amazed at how much it grew, this being the first time.”

Starting with the right seed is the most critical factor, Matt Radach said.

He networks with other giant pumpkin enthusiasts, including fellow members from the Pacific Northwest Giant Pumpkin Growers, and exchanges seeds.

“It’s all about the genetics,” he said.

At HarvestFest, which marks with the final Coupeville Farmers Market of the 2014 season, the Giant Pumpkin Contest also will offer prizes for the prettiest and ugliest pumpkins as well as the largest zucchini.

The contest, limited to Whidbey Island residents, will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the space next to the

Lighthouse: WA Parks to take over From page 1 Jon Crimmins, Fort Casey park ranger. “This is the most direct way.”

In December the reins will be turned over and the county will lay off the current lighthouse manager position.

“It makes a lot of sense,” Lawrence said. “The lighthouse is owned by Parks.”

Crimmins said the parks service will advertise for a new manager position, but probably not until early 2015.

“There are a lot of steps between now and then,” Crimmins said.

The Lighthouse Environmental Program board should be voting on a

“friends” agreement with the parks service to continue funding the position.

Once that agreement is in place, the parks service can move forward.

There will be a time the program will be without a manager, but Crimmins said the lighthouse is actually closed during that time.

During the interim, he will manage the program.

The open position will be posted locally as well as on the state parks website, he said.

In exchange for managing the program, WSU has been utilizing office space within the lighthouse.

Lawrence said WSU will continue to use those offices and will be offering additional programing at Fort Casey through its Beachwatchers and Waste Wise programs.

A display on the second floor of the space is currently in the works from Beachwatchers.

WSU will continue to provide space there for the lighthouse program.

“I think it’s been a good relationship,” Lawrence said.

“It’s a natural evolution.

WSU was able to serve an important role.

“I’m very grateful Parks values the educational programming.”

Auction: Funds go to operation costs From page 1 The event runs 6:30-9 p.m. at the Nordic Lodge, 63 Jacobs Road, Coupeville.

Scharich said club members will be providing the entertainment for the evening in the form of skits.

The club’s Youth of the Year, Bree Daigneault, will speak.

There will also be music provided by Coupeville High School teacher Jamar Jenkins, she said.

Attendees will dine on homemade spaghetti and meatballs and dessert, all prepared and provided by local businesses and volunteers.

Auction items are being donated from throughout the

community and include vacation stays, home and garden related items, specialty meals and more. Cost of the auction and dinner is $25.

The second half of the fundraising efforts will be held the following day with a costume run/walk event at the Coupeville Elementary School track.

Participants can do either the 5K route or the one mile.

Local vendors will be onhand with face painting and more. After the run there will be a shuttle ride to the Sherman Farms.

Cost is $25 per person if you preregister or $30 the day of the run.

Children younger than four are free. Ages five to 18

and active military are $15.

There is also a family rate of $60.

“Our vision is to connect our kids with the community and to connect the community with the kids it supports,” Scharich said.

Currently, the club runs 17 different programs, eight of which are national Boys and Girls Clubs programs.

Funds from each event goes toward club operations.

Current membership is at 331 children with an average daily attendance of 56.

To register for the costume run, go to www.active. com For more information or to get tickets to the auction and dinner, call 360-678-5640.

Coupeville Library.

Supported by a grant from the Coupeville Festival Association, the contest is in its 19th year, with the largest pumpkins often delivered by Coupeville’s Lee Roof and Phil Renninger.

Reninger holds the Whidbey record with a 1,016-pounder.

“We may have some really big ones this year as the weather was quite good,”

said Roof, who organizes the event.

The state record for a giant pumpkin is 1,791 pounds, grown last year by Joel Holland of Sumner.

The world record is 2,102 pounds, nurtured by Benji Meier of Pfungen, Switzerland. That record was set last week.

For those interested in growing a giant pumpkin, seeds are mailed out by con-

test organizers in March.

In Mike Radach’s case, his son got him started with a seedling.

It came from a seed of a pumpkin grown in Southwest Washington that weighed more than 1,400 pounds.

“He germinated a whole bunch in March and gave me one,” Mike Radach said.

“That’s basically how this whole thing started happening.”

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
