South Whidbey grieves loss of Langley leader Tucker Stevens dies following collapse By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Tucker Stevens, an educator, civic-minded Langley resident, husband and father, died Wednesday night. He was 73. The morning of Saturday, Oct. 26, Stevens collapsed and Stevens was taken to Whidbey General Hospital where he was airlifted to Providence Hospital in Everett. According to updates on www. caringbridge.com, made by friend Debra Campbell, Stevens was on life support for three days with all of his body functions returning to normal, except for his ability to breathe. His family, which had flown in from across the globe, was with him in his final moments before dying Oct. 29. “He’s really going to be missed from a lot of different activities,” said Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, who knew Stevens for years. Known for his easy smile, conversational nature, Southern California surfer attitude and can-do spirit, Stevens is survived by his wife of 25-plus years, Kathryn, children and grandchildren. High school sweethearts, Kathryn and Tucker Stevens married and divorced young, having families on their own before reuniting years later. They had been together 25 years at the time of his death. Stevens was a retired but active Langley resident who served on the city’s Civil Service Commission for one year, the Historic Preservation Commission for two years, and once the city’s Parks and Open Space Commission for three years. Fred McCarthy, Langley’s mayor and a member of the informal Langley men’s club, said he often relished in afternoon visits to the Stevens’ Third Street home and looking out over the town and Saratoga Passage from their backyard deck. “A whole lot of informal problems got solved by the leaders of the community meeting on that deck,” McCarthy said. As a member of the Langley Community Club, Stevens helped resurrect the once-defunct Soup Box Derby downhill race. It has since gone strong for 12 years since 2002 with Stevens as club president and a driving force behind the event’s return and growth. “It was non-existent for a few years but he brought all that back too,” said John Lawson, president of the community club and Stevens’ friend. Other less high-profile works can be attributed to Stevens’ can-do attitude. Earlier this year, a car destroyed the oftphotographed booth in the Star Store parking lot. Within days, Stevens and several men from the community club had repaired and restored the red booth, without muss or fuss. SEE STEVENS, A11

Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Curt Gordon listens to Commissioner Ed Halloran during a special meeting Wednesday in Freeland. The board agreed, pending grant funding, to launch a study while managing the Island County-owned fairgrounds property in Langley for a period of one year.

With funds, port says ‘Yes’ to one year of fairgrounds management ‘The best way to learn about this facility is to run it.’ — Commissioner Curt Gordon

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record If the money comes through, the Port of South Whidbey is getting into the fairground management business. At a special meeting Wednesday, the board agreed in a 2-0 decision that the best way to know whether or not taking over the Island County Fairgrounds is an economically viable proposal is to do it. So, when the existing maintenance contract between the county and the fair association expires this April, and depending on the outcome of two grant applications, the port will take over management of the nearly 13-acre facility for a period of one year while at the same time conducting a comprehensive $85,000 feasibility study. “The best way to learn about this facility is to run it,” Commissioner Curt Gordon said. Commissioner Ed Halloran, who has been a voice of caution regarding the management proposal since it was first pitched by county officials this past

June, agreed and together they decided to move forward. He maintained his longtime position that any permanent decision must pencil out, but said the study would be more thorough if the port had first-hand experience of the job. Commissioner Dennis Gregoire was out of town and not present at the meeting. The fairgrounds is owned by Island County, but has for decades been managed and maintained by the Island County Fair Association, the autonomous group that runs the annual fair. Funding hurdles, however, have strained relations between the two parties in recent years. Fair Board officials say many of the buildings are old, requiring expensive repair, or aren’t conducive to an economically sustainable facility, and county decision makers have been unwilling to commit additional funds. A consortium of elected, private and fair officials worked last year to fund and develop a strategic plan that called

for a $10 million renovation over a period of 10 years. The proposal, outlined in a $71,000 study by Anacortesbased Landerman-Moore Associates, was widely unpopular with the public and has since been largely shelved. Organizers had hoped it would be the savior of the financially strapped facility. Subsequently, the fair association’s board decided not to renew its contract with the county, leaving commissioners on the hook for finding a new property manager. Desperate to find a taker, Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson reached out to port commissioners this summer, and Commissioner Helen Price Johnson has been working with the district and board members ever since to answer questions and cement a commitment. Price Johnson attended Wednesday’s special meeting, telling the board she was there in hopes of working out an agreement but also urged the port not SEE PORT, A11

Obituary

Richard Simmons

Richard Wayne Simmons

Our dad was born Aug. 10, 1951, in Everett, Wash., the youngest of three boys, born to Melvin and Eva Simmons, and was brought home to be raised in Clinton, Wash., on Whidbey Island. Dad was proud to be a fifth-generation South Whidbey Islander, growing up not far from where his

own father and grandfather grew to adulthood. He attended the Langley school district, graduating with the class of 1970 and talked often about being on the football team. Dad worked at Simmons Garage throughout high school and college while pursuing a criminal law degree. While working as a Langley reserve policeman one summer at the Island County fairgrounds, he met his future wife, Claudia. Rick and Claudia were married May 10, 1974, in Lake City, Wash., and most recently they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with a trip to Las Vegas. Rick worked as a trooper cadet for the Washington State Patrol 1974-1979 and then eventually worked as a driver for United Parcel Service, and spoke fondly of being a pain in their side as a union shop steward, for over 30 years. Mostly, though, Dad will be remembered as a loving and caring father to his five kids. He spent many weekends of our childhood building three homes for us to live in, one in Maple Valley and two

on South Whidbey, with the final one being built on Deer Lake, the same lake he spent many summers of his childhood waterskiing and fishing. We kids have many wonderful memories of him taking us camping around the state and going to Disneyland, Las Vegas, attending school events and countless weekend getaways that included fishing with him on his boat in Seiku and cruising around the San Juan Islands. Our dad was known to many people as Rick, to his five kids as Dad, but his favorite name was simply Papa, a name his 11 grandchildren fondly called him. He enjoyed all his grandchildren to no end, whether it be simply holding them, helping him

ing trumps all.” Johnson said that both Hannold and his Democratic challenger Karla Jacks are “two good options in the race for District 3 Commissioner.” However, she said, “I am thoughtfully and enthusiastically voting for Rick Hannold.” Hannold shares her conservative values, which include maintaining law and justice funding as a top priority and that a “limited, focused, priority-based government” is in the county’s best interest. Johnson and Hannold also agree that Whidbey

Island Naval Air Station is a vital part of the community, not to be treated as “an unwelcome or unwanted guest,” Johnson said. “Rick Hannold will bring a fresh and needed perspective to the Board of Commissioners. His style is refreshing, agenda-free, and needed.” As a private contractor and a retired Navy chief, Johnson said she believes Hannold brings the experience and leadership abilities needed to run the county. Neither Hannold nor Johnson could be reached for comment before press time.

Sheriff’s Report Cops apprehend suspected Clinton burglar after chase The following are 9-1-1 calls to the Island County Sheriff’s Office, South Precinct.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record

11:12 a.m. — A caller on Fish Road reported a man in leather motorcycle cloths, a face mask and helmet walked into a shop and asked for carpet remnants. When told no, he left abruptly and headed to another business. He an off-road motorcycle. 4:58 p.m. — A caller at a Freeland grocery story said she was with her son, who had a warrant for his arrest, and was awaiting law enforcement. 6:52 p.m. — A caller at the Clinton Park & Ride reported someone siphoning gas out of his vehicle.

A 34-year-old Clinton man accused of burglarizing a Freeland home last February could face nearly 10 years in prison if convicted of a litany of charges against him, court documents indicate. Prosecutors charged Garrett J. Edwards in Island County Superior Court Oct. 22 with first-degree burglary with a deadly weapon, first-degree theft, trafficking in stolen property and two counts of theft of a firearm. All the counts were charged with “aggravating circumstances” because Edwards committed multiple offenses. If a jury finds that aggravating circumstances do exist, it would increase his sentence. Edwards is wanted on a $150,000 arrest warrant, but is in custody in Snohomish County, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office. On Feb. 28, a Freeland resident reported that he returned home from surgery and found his house had been broken into. Guns, a large amount of jewelry, silver, gold, computers and a TV were stolen. A few days later, Deputy Shawn Warwick with the Island County Sheriff’s Office found that Edwards had pawned some of the stolen jewelry at a pawn shop in Lynnwood, according to his report on the case. The resident later identified the jewelry as his, the report states. Warwick and another deputy searched a home where Edwards had visited and found a stolen laptop. On March 15, Warwick tracked down Edwards at a home in Clinton. He initially ran from the deputies, but gave up and complained that his leg was injured from someone hitting him with a tire iron, the deputy wrote. He later admitted that he had swallowed a “package” containing two grams of heroin when he ran, the report states. In addition, Edwards allegedly had baggies of suspected methamphetamine and heroin on him, the report states. Edwards denied burglarizing the home, but said he pawned some of the property because he didn’t know it was stolen; he told Warwick where to find two of the stolen guns that were hidden in bushes, the deputy wrote.

It may seem unfair at times, but it’s true all the same, and none of those who have taken an oath of office can say they didn’t know that intense public scrutiny and demands for accountability, legitimate or otherwise, are part of the job. That’s one of the reasons Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley has struck the war post and announced he’ll be visiting the home municipalities of Island Transit board members and lobbying for their resignations. But perhaps someone should remind North Whidbey’s raging bull of righteousness of that very same standard. Some transit directors may need to step down, but it’s not up to Dudley to decide who, not even in Oak Harbor — it’s the city council’s decision — and self aggrandizing displays of accountability are unbecoming of the office of mayor, in any town. The Langley City Council can decide for itself who will serve as its representative at Island Transit, and doesn’t require the counsel of a mayor who has weathered far more requests for his own resignation than any present Langley elected official. Dudley, who will forever be remembered for his excessive firing of city employees and the felling of Oak Harbor’s great oak tree, should look to ensure his own house is in order before deciding to mettle in the affairs of other autonomous elected bodies. That said, the call for accountability isn’t Dudley’s alone and it shouldn’t be overshadowed by the tactics of a single crusader. Many are crying foul over the transit board’s lack of oversight, and that includes state auditors. Their wrath is understandable, given the magnitude of the failure, but no matter how tempting it is to call for the heads of transit directors, ultimately it’s not the right call. The problems that led to the current crisis were not so visible, despite claims to the contrary. There were no financial reports that made clear the pending calamity, no obvious signs of financial failure; the problem was hidden, which is why it also took state auditors so long to catch on. The board is responsible for oversight, but at some point members have to trust the people they oversee and not micromanage their every move. It is disconcerting, however, that state regulators have laid much of the blame on the board and the body has yet to issue a public apology for its role in the financial collapse of Island Transit. Instead, board members such as Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and Coupeville Town Councilman Bob Clay have released letters to the editors or viewpoints that paint rosy pictures of how things are finally getting back on track. More than 20 people lost their jobs. That corrective measures are being taken is expected, and board members should stay on so they can help clean up the mess made under their watch. But one would think that begins with some admission of accountability.

Editor, Don’t ever hesitate when it comes to using our local Whidbey Hospital emergency room. I’ve gone twice and each time I was treated fast, with respect and by caring staff. They can diagnose and stabilize you and send you on your way to a hospital better suited to treat your condition. As my situation grew worse they were able to talk me through what was needed for my flight to Harborview; all very scary but these were my only options. Thanks to the Whidbey emergency room doctor and his team for saving my life, and the Harborview emergency room team for getting me back. All this for a simple procedure that went very wrong quickly. I hope never to see them again but I know they are there for us when needed. GAIL LISCHEID Clinton

Elections

Ana Maria Nuñez for treasurer Editor, Incumbent Ana Maria Nuñez is extremely qualified to be the Island County treasurer. I have learned that she implemented more new and innovative programs and services for Island County than any treasurer before her. In the last four years she has eliminated a backlog in processing adjustments to property taxes that existed for 10 years; not a problem she created but one she fixed. I am especially impressed

with her partnership with the Opportunity Council to assist those at risk of foreclosure, enabling citizens to keep their homes. When you look at how Ms. Nuñez has operated during her time in office, it’s obvious that she really cares about the people in Island County and that she has a true dedication to fulfilling the tasks of the Island County treasurer. For these reasons I endorse and urge you to vote for Ms. Nuñez. Sincerely,

Camano islands. As a mother, she worked on parent teacher association fundraising projects and is currently director of the Camano Center with senior services and other community activities. Karla was honored in 2009 as the Stanwood/Camano Island Woman of the Year. In Karla Jacks, we have a candidate who has the compassion, training, and energy to help us build an Island County government that is caring, effective, and fiscally responsible.

Response

Transit fixes are already underway Editor, Given the questions raised by the recently completed double audit of Island Transit finances, it is important for the public to realize that all of these questions have been addressed by the current board and financial administration. A financial recovery plan is already being implemented. Cash flow problems have been addressed. Current projections show Island Transit operations finishing this year with an operating reserve of approximately $500,000. The draft budget for 2015 shows a similar ending reserve of $450,000 with SEE LETTERS, A7

conservative assumptions of revenues. A recruitment plan for an interim executive director is on schedule for action in November, and a comprehensive recruitment process for a permanent director will follow with continuing board and public input. The goal has been to address all financial questions as quickly as possible first, and then to recruit and hire executive leadership needed for longterm sustainability of Island Transit, a widely treasured public service for all of Island County. BOB CLAY Island Transit acting executive director

Guilty for loving airplane noise Editor, As I confessed to my

the previous management was not following standard practices in some important areas. Specifically, management of the cash-flow and documentation of the federal grant funds for the new building project in payroll and tracking inventory were of concern. The good news is the reductions in service earlier this year were sufficient to reduce expenses so Island Transit is operating in the black again and beginning to rebuild the reserve. Also a new financial officer has instituted proper record-keeping and begun a full review of internal controls to be sure best practices are being

followed in all areas going forward. The board increased its oversight of finances also. Two board members now meet monthly with staff to review bank statements. Monthly reports were improved so the board can better monitor the cash position. State auditors reported that the board is taking “all necessary steps to resolve this issue.” Each of these changes are positive and are improving the agency. Some have questioned the separation settlement with Martha Rose. I can assure you it was based on contractual obligations as determined by legal counsel, not

guesswork. That agreement did pay for “leave,” however the vast majority of it was sick leave, not vacation. Both types of leave were capped and were far less than the balances accrued over 25 years of service. Moving ahead it is important to hire a qualified interim executive director so the restructuring of routes can be completed and the transit agency is stabilized for the future. The board has decided to do a limited recruitment and tentative plans are to hire someone by Thanksgiving. An interim position is wise at this time to provide transitional leadership for the organization and

allow ample time for significant community outreach in the process of selecting a long-term director. That outreach should focus on what we want our transit system to provide in the future. How can we best support expanded service? What are the economics of being farefree? I hope you will join this important conversation. The audit results show that internal financial controls and board policies did not keep up as the transit agency grew over time. Significant corrective steps have been taken already and I am committed to continuing to improve Island Transit for our community.

friend Heidi Hoelting in a phone message today, I am one of those small airplane pilots who is guilty of making noise as I fly in and out of Langley Airpark on Crawford Road. I am a flight instructor who has taught folks to fly from our local airport for over a decade and fly frequently myself. I pointed out to her that the rest of the Federal Aviation Administration regulations on required altitudes partially cited in her letter states “...except when an aircraft is maneuvering to

land or take off.” I admit that, depending on the wind, I sometimes fly over her house at less that 1000 feet when I am taking off or landing. I must also admit that when I hear airplane noise overhead on South Whidbey I also hear the sound of cash registers making money for us merchants. Over more than 10 years of having a shop in Langley, on multiple occasions I have delivered purchases to customers who chose to fly to Langley

rather than wait in a ferry line. We also keep “courtesy bicycles” at the airport to facilitate folks coming into Langley or Bayview. More importantly, Gary and Beth Smith’s wonderful Mukilteo Coffee Roasters cafe has become a favorite flying destination for small airplane pilots from

all over the region; they can fly to our airport, park their plane and walk 100 yards for a meal. If there is an increase in summertime airplane noise here, that means there is an increase in merchants’ income. Sorry about the noise. FRED LUNDAHL Langley

Win over Mount Baker extends Whidbey’s playoff run By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Despite having secured another district playoff match, South Whidbey volleyball players were solemn after a 3-1 loss in the second round to top-ranked Cedar Park Christian on Wednesday. South Whidbey advanced to the consolation bracket to face Nooksack Valley on Nov. 1 in Lynden after sweeping Mount Baker and falling to Cedar Park Christian in a doubleheader. After rallying in the third set to stave off the third three-set sweep by the Cascade Conference and District 1-leading Eagles, the Falcons hung their heads. Even senior Abby Hodson, usually a cheerful team leader who led South Whidbey in kills, was down after falling to the Eagles. “It just died at the end,” said Hodson of South Whidbey’s energy and efficiency. She said the back-to-back, seven sets in four hours play did not impact her abilities on the court. But the limited rotation used by South Whidbey—only eight Falcons saw the floor, with several starters rarely sitting—had led to tired legs by the time Cedar Park took the court to defend its undefeated record. “We’re usually on a roller coaster,” said Falcon junior setter Katherine Read, who recorded 31 assists against Mount Baker and 44 assists against Cedar Park. “We should be proud. We took a game from Cedar Park—that was a really big accomplishment for all of us. We’re just super exhausted.” Cedar Park Christian was pow-

The Eagles’ plays largely went through sophomore hitter Sam Dreschel, who recorded a game-high 25 kills to go along with 13 digs and three aces. Alexyss Nelson, the Eagles’ sole senior, set 28 assists; and junior libero Rachel Kumai recorded 21 digs. For the first three sets, the two teams were neck-and-neck until the final 10 points or so. South Whidbey used a four-point run to tie the game at 23-23 before Dreschel scored two kills to secure the victory.

“We play man-up on her,” said Hodson of Dreschel. “That seems to work pretty well. We seemed to be digging her up, Sara Bryant especially, [more] than in previous games.” The second set saw Cedar Park pull away earlier from a 17-17 tie and go on to win 25-19. South Whidbey found its way in the third set, jumping out to a quick 12-7 lead before Eagles head coach Marni Dreschel called time out. The pause proved ineffective as South Whidbey rolled to a 25-13 win, capped by five Hodson aces in the final six points.

South Whidbey fell behind in a hurry in the fourth set. The Eagles took a 4-0 lead and never lost it en route to a 25-14 win, sending Cedar Park to the District 1 championship match against second-seeded Lynden Christian on Saturday. Against Mount Baker, South Whidbey was largely in control in a 25-19, 25-20, 25-16 win. The scores were deceptive, as South Whidbey committed an unusual amount of errors and mistakes. Offense from Hodson (18 kills and 11 digs) and senior Anne Madsen (10 digs, nine kills, three aces) plus the setting by junior Katherine Read (31 assists)

and defense from junior libero Sara Bryant (12 digs, two kills, two aces) were enough to make up for the mistakes. South Whidbey plays an elimination game against Nooksack Valley —the same team the Falcons defeated in last year’s tri-district tournament to advance to the 1A state tournament. The Pioneers (3-9 Northwest Conference, 3-12 overall) fell to the King’s Lady Knights in straight sets Wednesday night. Winning that match secures a berth to the 1A bi-district tournament, which is the state-qualifying round.

Woodworker launches campaign to fund eco-friendly business By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record With his feet, Walter Dill once danced agilely across the bamboo floor of a dance studio with quick, precise movements; with his hands, decades later, he uses the same precision and agility — and the same bamboo flooring — to create architecturally bold home accessories. The Langley resident began furnishing small wooden pieces, components for an ongoing project, in the 1980s in a small studio in Port Townsend. “Life took its other paths,” Dill said, explaining that he turned his attention to raising a family and teaching dance at Living Traditions Dance with his wife. “We’ve all had experiences in our life that are important to us at some time and then they get put on the back burner,” he said. “I am bringing things back from way back. I’m using actual pieces of wood that I milled 30 years ago.” In hopes of finally fulfilling his goal of establishing a woodworking business creating eco-friendly home furnishings and accessories, Dill has launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign to raise the necessary funds to obtain computercontrolled, precision woodworking equipment. Kickstarter is an online platform which allows individuals to request “backers” to pledge their financial support of a project or business plan and in turn receive a product for their support. The individual sends products, also known as “rewards,” to backers if the Kickstarter is successful. As of Friday morning, Dill had accumulated 54 backers and $8,726 of his total $18,000 goal. The project will only be funded if the minimum of $18,000 is pledged by 12 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14. Otherwise, Dill will obtain no funding and the backers will have no financial responsibility for their pledges. As stated on the Kickstarter page, his goal “is to equip an efficient work space where I can develop my gifts and passions in order to earn a respectable living doing what I love. It is my intention to share this space with fellow designers on similar missions.”

complex designs on a limited budget. “He is a soul living on a different path than most of us,” said Gray. “He finds great pleasure in a simple life full of complex creations.” “We are in such a plastic world,” Dill said, explaining that, although he has worked with plastic, metal and glass, he takes great pleasure in creating functional pieces from a more “sensual” and warm material such as wood. In addition, he said, there is something special about creating an item from pieces of wood, such as Honduras mahogany and black walnut which would have otherwise been thrown away. “I’m creating something that people can have for the rest of their lives that would have otherwise been burned,” he said. While the majority of Dill’s designs are ornate, he also creates simpler patterns for those who prefer a more modern look. In either case, his products are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing. “It is all geometry. It is like Kate Daniel / The Record with dance where you have a basic pattern, a basic footWalter Dill displays some of his eco-friendly pieces while at work in David Gray’s Langley studio. work, and two people,” Dill said. “How many variations Langley mayor Fred through their waste bins,” he can you come up with?

Weddings event set for next week

Ben Watanabe / The Record

Tucker Stevens, seen here in August, pulls out one of the trophies for the Soup Box Derby in Langley. He was one of the driving forces behind the annual downhill race.

STEVENS CONTINUED FROM A1

“He had just decided that he loved Langley; this is the kind of way he thought a community ought to be,” McCarthy said. Stevens had a long career in education. He retired as a school superintendent but started as a teacher and administra-

tor. Even after retirement, Stevens filled in as a substitute teacher for the South Whidbey School District. In October, Stevens participated in the annual Friends of Friends Mr. South Whidbey contest. The fundraiser brought in $18,000 to help cover medical costs for people in need on Whidbey Island. His death came as a surprise to many, who

were able to share their condolences and sympathy online. A posting on the site www.caringbridge. com about Stevens’ death had 79 comments made between the post’s timestamp of 10:16 a.m. Oct. 29 and Friday morning. Kathryn Stevens, his wife, said the family is planning a community event for mid-November, but the details have yet to be finalized.

This year’s Weddings on Whidbey and Events Tour is not just for the blushing bride. The event, now in its second year, will highlight services and vendors for all types of events, according to Gloria Mickunas, organizer and owner of Whidbey Party Girls!. “The tour isn’t just about getting married,” Mickunas said. “It’s about events.” Weddings on Whidbey is a fall wedding show designed to showcase select venues and highlight event specialists from Whidbey and Camano Island and the surrounding communities. At each stop on this chauffeured tour, attendees will find a venue decorated to a specific theme, including Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations and a “groom lounge” capturing more of a “guy vibe.” Within each venue, vendors from all over Whidbey Island will be highlighted, according to Mickunas. Event planners will stage and design each venue to showcase the possibilities; caterers and cake makers will be at each location offering

PORT CONTINUED FROM A1

to delay. The grant process can take time and the county hopes to have a plan in place when the fair association’s contract expires next year. “Our preference is to move forward,” Price Johnson said. The port had initially planned to conduct the study and then decide whether to take over management of the fairgrounds. Concern from county officials about having

a replacement lined up to take over in April when the existing contract is up led to a new proposal, one where the port would apply for grant funds that would pay for both the study and one year’s worth of maintenance. Thus, Angi Mozer, the port’s interim executive director, said the district is seeking $135,000 in Island County Rural Economic Development funds and $45,000 in state Community Economic Revitalization Board (or CERB) funds, totaling $180,000.

The tour also features top wedding and event vendors including wedding coordinators, dressmakers, rental suppliers, florists, make-up and hair stylists and so much more. “You will quickly understand why Whidbey Island is the perfect location for your next destination event or dream wedding,” according the Weddings on Whidbey website. “This tour will make planning that special occasion effortless.” Tickets are on sale now for the Weddings on Whidbey and Events Tour; tickets must be purchased prior to the event. Participants will take a shuttled tour to four South Whidbey event locations noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8. Participants must be at least 18 years of age. Cost is $20 per person or $35 for VIP admission. For more information about the tour or to buy a ticket, go to www.weddingsonwhidbey.net.

$95,000 of that would cover the maintenance work, funding a full-time maintenance worker, a half-time customer service and events coordinator and a onefourth-time supervisor. The remaining $85,000 would pay for another fairgrounds study, which would include a significant public outreach and planning element. Mozer said the April deadline will be tight but believes the funding will be awarded by then. If the money is secured, port stewardship of the property would begin in April.

The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper, and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices, to report a problem with the customer’s credit card. The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card. These callers are not from this newspaper. This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments; but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method. To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper, use these following tips: • Ask the caller to identify himself/herself and the office he/she is calling from, including the address. If you do not recognize the caller, hang up and call your local newspaper office directly.

• Before providing payment information to a caller, ask for information that would be unknown to scammers. This could include your billing address or previous payment information. A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method, check numbers, banking institution and/or the last four digits and expiration of your credit card. • If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined, verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement. If you receive a scam call like this, write down all information you can about the call, such as: the caller’s name, phone number, time of day and duration of call. If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers – Immediately contact your bank and/or credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation. Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation.

If you are a victim of this scam please contact this office 360-394-8704, your local police department, or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney General’s office.

Running around like crazy won’t get you anywhere. If you don’t let yourself fall behind you’ll be able to fulfill your obligations in a timely manner. A trip could be organized spontaneously.

VIRGO

Even if you know that you have the right answer, wait a few days before making a final decision. New information could change your point of view.

LIBRA

Avoid suffering from heartburn by changing your diet slightly, and especially by learning to relax more often. Your health requires you to have better balance in your life.

SCORPIO

You might have to wait a little longer than expected before getting the results of some medical exams. Your beloved pays you some extra special attention.

SAGITTARIUS

Your leadership seems to be in demand. You could take over the boss’s chair while he or she is on vacation, or you replace a colleague for an indefinite period of time.

CAPRICORN

The idea of a family trip during the holidays should begin to materialize. However, some details may take longer to resolve than you expected.

AQUARIUS

You have to communicate with a maximum number of people. An event that you’re in charge of requires all your communication, organizational, and negotiating skills.

PISCES

There are sure to be many extra hours of work to do at the office. You’ll be generously rewarded for them if you can adjust your schedule accordingly.
