Overnight parking left out
South Whidbey port pushes county to turn over fairgrounds By DAN RICHMAN Whidbey News Group
over time, some of the originally proposed elements changed or were cut. A parking garage was one of those cut because of a lack of funding, said Washington State Ferries Division Terminal Design Engineering Manager Nicole McIntosh. “Unfortunately, funding is not available to provide parking at this time,” she said, responding to a couple of questions about a lack of additional parking in the ferry terminal area.
The Port of South Whidbey, which since April 1, 2015 has managed the historic Island County Fairgrounds under a oneyear, no-cost lease from the county, on Wednesday threatened to refuse to sign a new lease on April 1 if the county doesn’t promptly give, or sell, it the property. By the end of Wednesday’s meeting of the Island County Council of Governments, Curt Gordon, the port’s immediate past president, had agreed the port will appear before the Board of Island County Commissioners next month to discuss the possible change in ownership and its timing. “We’re just not ready to run it for another year,” Gordon initially said at the meeting. “We’ve done our year. We’re ready to move ahead with a plan. If others are confident they can take over, I’m thrilled.” Gordon said a conversation between port President Ed Halloran and county Commissioner Helen Price Johnson led him to believe the board wasn’t willing to transfer the 12.8-acre property to the port as quickly as the port wanted. The port wants to apply for a time-sensitive $100,000 Rural County Economic Development grant to develop the fairgrounds according to a detailed plan. It also wants to put a levy on an August ballot seeking to raise money for purchasing the property. Gordon added that he was “under the understanding” that Board Chairman Rick Hannold agreed with Price Johnson on the timeline. Commissioner Jill Johnson responded by giving Gordon a short civics lesson. “If one commissioner tells you something is a fact, one is not a majority,” she said. “It’s important to understand the whole board has to weigh in.” By the meeting’s end, Gordon said he’d “make sure” the port makes an informed decision about a new lease based on input from the full board of county commissioners. Johnson conceded that Island County is not the fairgrounds’

Crowd slams new Mukilteo ferry terminal’s lack of parking, second slip By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Ferry users let state officials have an earful about poor parking considerations and a lack of preparations for emergencies Tuesday night. The Washington State Department of Transportation came en masse to present the 60-percent design of the proposed multimodal terminal. Estimated to cost $129 million and be completed by 2019, the project is touted for improving connections between
different forms of transportation, safety and environmental impact. The terminal is closer to the rail station for Sound Transit’s Sounder line to Seattle, improves the bus area, and is located where it will move the bulk of ferry operations away from Mukilteo’s Old Town commercial area. Whether that last item is a benefit or a detraction largely depends on one’s take on the ferries’ impact on some of the restaurants and other shops near the current terminal. As the project’s design progressed
Alternative high school program moving in with SWHS By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record
South Whidbey Academy high school students will mix and mingle in the halls of South Whidbey High School this coming September. Forty-six students in the alternative school’s ninth-
grade through 12th-grade program will “co-locate” to the unoccupied north wing of South Whidbey High School at the start of the 2016-17 academic year. South Whidbey Academy is home to three distinct alternative education programs: kindergarten through fifth grade, sixth through eighth grade, and
the high school classes. Only the academy’s high school students are affected, so far. In an email Friday morning, South Whidbey School District Superintendent Jo Moccia said discussions about the sixth-grade through eighth-grade program making a similar move to Langley Middle School have
occurred, but no decision has been made. Moccia said in a telephone interview Thursday the change of location was decided administratively, by her. She touted a number of reasons for the move, which include increased selection of classes, reduced travel time between campuses, improved
transportation efficiency and better access to extracurricular activities. Letters were sent to affected academy students’ parents Feb. 12 detailing the history and background of the academy as well as the rationale behind the decision. “The positives are why SEE ALTERNATIVE ED., A3

Raises, improved leave included in nurses contract; vote coming By DEBRA VAUGHN Whidbey News Group Whidbey General Hospital and the nurses’s union reached a tentative contract agreement this week, potentially ending nearly a year of negotiations. In a contract summary released by the union, nurses would receive a 2 percent pay bump in April and another .5 percent in October. They’d receive a 2.5 percent increase each of the following two years. The contract includes pay increases in other situations, such as a 25-cent per hour bump in standby pay. The bargaining team also negotiated agreements on workplace issues, including new language stating that nurses who take family

to state their case with a union representative present and the hospital has to present them with the charges in writing. The hospital also agreed in the proposed contract that nurses will not auto-
matically be disciplined for failing a drug test if there is no evidence they were impaired on the job. Off duty recreational marijuana use also isn’t grounds for drug testing, since that drug is legal in Washington. The union summary also includes issues floated by the hospital administration that the union bargaining team said they blocked. One of those was a proposal that nurses not be able to take a 15-minute uninterrupted rest break. Another was a proposal that management could monitor union meetings. A majority of nurses still have to approve the agreement, said Ruth Schubert, a spokeswoman for the Washington State Nurses Association. The contract would expire in April 2019.
“We are very happy with this contract and the bargaining team is recommending a ‘yes’ vote,” she said. “The fact that we were able to fight off some really negative proposals from Whidbey General management is significant. We were able to fight the negative proposals off because the nurses stuck together and because of the wonderful support we got from the community.”
Under the terms of the agreement, the hospital can’t comment until the agreement is ratified, said hospital spokesman Keith Mack. If the contract is approved, nurses who signed it will get a bonus up to $1,500, depending on their work status and when they were hired. A full copy of the statement is available online at www.wsna.org.

we’re doing it,” Moccia said. “It’s a total program enhancement.” The transition to the high school has been criticized and questioned by parents and students. Eighth-grade students Nolan Smith and Jesse Seely said they were not informed of the change and only heard about it after their parents received letters from the school. Smith said he didn’t have any concerns with moving to the high school, but would have preferred to stay at the current location if he had the choice. He also felt that the commute between the two schools wasn’t a hassle. “It’s just a little walking,” Smith said. Seely agreed. “I don’t really approve of it, I don’t like it,” Seely said. “It’s kind of hard to have an opinion because the school district didn’t include any students in the decision. It didn’t really make sense to me.” A meeting to address questions and concerns from students and parents will be held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 2 at the academy. Moccia, South Whidbey Academy Principal David Pfeiffer and South Whidbey High School Principal John Patton will begin the meeting with introductions then field questions from attendees. Despite the change in physical location, Moccia said academy students will be able
to retain distinct features of the academy, such as graduate criteria, a lounge area and the ability to remain separate from the high school, if the students so choose. Also, they will have opportunities to integrate with students during open periods such as lunch, for example. Mark Helpenstell, Seely’s father, claimed the public meeting only came as a result of his inquiries to learn more about how and when the decision to move the program was made. He said he first heard of the change from another parent and not the district. Helpenstell, also a commissioner for the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District, is concerned about a lack of public discussion at the district, school board and high school levels over what he said could have a “huge impact” on some of the students. “This bunch of kids collectively struggle in that mainstream environment,” Helpenstell said. “I’m not seeing the appropriate concern for that.” Because he does not know how the change in location will impact his son, it has made him fearful. Helpenstell said he recognizes that change makes people uncomfortable, but noted that he is missing information. “There may be some real positives to this and I’m open and listening, but so far there hasn’t been any information and the info I have been SEE SWA MOVE, A12
Bunny Bits By Tresa Erickson Have you ever come across a pen full of bunnies? As you stand there admiring how cute and cuddly they are, you may just want to take one home. Don’t! Before you yield to that impulse, there are some things you should know about bunnies. While they are cute, bunnies are by no means cuddly and they require a lot of care, more than you may be willing to give. Contrary to popular thought, bunnies are not low-maintenance pets. They require just as much attention as dogs and cats, perhaps even more. Fresh water and food are a must, as are a clean cage and litterbox. Housing the bunny outdoors is not a good idea. Bunnies do not do well in extreme temperatures and make great targets for dogs, cats, raccoons, skunks, hawks and other predators. You will need some sort of bunny shelter inside. In addition to food and shelter, you will need to provide your bunny with a good place to exercise. Bunnies are
active creatures. They like to run and letting them do so in your house is not a good idea. Bunnies like to chew and will chew on just about anything they come into contact with—electrical cords, furniture, walls, paper, carpet—you get the idea. You must have an enclosure they can exercise in.
Like most pets, bunnies require regular medical care. While they do not need yearly vaccinations, they should be spayed or neutered and receive regular vet checkups. Not all vets are comfortable with caring for bunnies, so you may need to find a new vet.

Bunnies are not exactly kid friendly either. They do not like to be picked up due to their delicate skeletons and they can be skittish. Families looking for a pet they can hold and cuddle with should not select a bunny. Bunnies will bite and scratch if they are handled too much or feel threatened. And, selecting a baby bunny and training it to be lovable may not work. Baby bunnies are naturally curious and prefer exploring to bonding. Finally, bunnies are not a shortterm commitment. Unlike fish and hamsters, most live more than a few years, usually six to 10 years. If you decide to get a bunny, you must be in it for the long haul. Bunnies are like any other pet. They require time and money. Take the commitment involved seriously. Do your homework and know what you are getting into before you bring home a bunny.

Because of the extensive care and expense involved, bunnies do not make great starter pets for kids. Kids can easily tire of caring for the bunny each day and leave it to Mom and Dad to do, which may be difficult with their hectic schedules.

A Washington State Department of Transportation spokesman said the Tokitae had recently passed a fire sprinkler test, but crew aboard the vessel noticed residual dripping and wanted to ensure the system was working
properly. Passengers were never in danger, spokesman Ian Sterling said Friday. Dripping from the sprinkler system turned out to be part of its drainage. “The drips turned out to be from residual water exiting through drain holes which is what they are there for,” Sterling said in an email. “Once this was verified, the vessel was immediately returned to service. Passengers were never in any sort of danger.” The Washington State Department of Transportation, Ferries Division, sent an email

One-lane merger won’t affect ferries, state officials say By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record A possible revision to the existing Highway 525 bridge in Mukilteo will not affect offloading ferry traffic, state transportation department officials said Tuesday. At a meeting about the proposed Mukilteo multimodal facility, Washington State Department of Transportation engineer John Chi quelled fears over ferry traffic backups. The transportation department is researching a possible traffic flow change for southbound vehicles coming off the ferry on Highway 525 in Mukilteo. The flap was over a “road diet” to a single lane for southbound traffic as it approached a new intersection and up the highway. Currently there are two lanes from the ferry terminal on Front Street to Fifth Street, where a signal controls traffic and just beyond it the southbound lanes merge into one all the way to the Harbour Pointe area. The fear was that the consolidation of two lanes of offloading ferry traffic, especially on a route that sees a lot of heavy freight, would create a backlog from the highway to the ferry. That’s not the case, state transportation employees said. “Whatever you do over here is fine by us. It doesn’t affect our schedule,” said Charlie Torres, project manager for the proposed Mukilteo terminal, pointing to the planned new signaled intersection on a map. Chi presented a pair of project ideas to the City of Mukilteo in response to a

No need to tweak public records law By TOBY NIXON
At a recent hearing on House Bill 2576, Walter Elliott, Port of Kingston commissioner, made the bold statement, “public records requests take 80 percent of our tax revenue,” and that the port had “almost nothing left” to spend on economic development. Nobody asked him for any clarification, leaving the impression that the port spends 80 percent of its revenue, or of its operating budget, on handling records
requests. That was extremely misleading. In fact, the Port of Kingston gets a very small portion of its revenue from taxes – about $190K out of a $3.2 million budget. Almost all of their revenue is from non-tax sources. And for them to claim that processing of public records requests left them with “almost nothing” intentionally obfuscated their situation to gain sympathy from legislators and convince them to “do something” — something that would make it more difficult for people to get access to their records through the Public Records Act. Legislators should not fall for such sob stories, which they hear all too often. The Public Records Act is not broken. It works fine when agencies actually follow the rules and implement the tools already available to them under the law to manage their records request workload. Agencies need to stop complaining, do what the law already allows, and move on. That’s what the City of Kirkland has done, and you don’t see them down in Olympia testifying that radical changes are needed to make it harder to request public records. On the contrary, when Kirkland received a massive public records request from Tim Clemans a few months ago, they didn’t panic and come to Olympia seeking relief. They just applied the rules and procedures they already had in place, added Clemans’ request to their work queue, and started working on his first installment. When Clemans finally realized just how long it would take to get all the records he requested and how much work it would be to manually review them, he dropped the request. The system worked. It would have worked even if he hadn’t dropped the request, by breaking it into installments and delivering the records over time. Other agencies should follow Kirkland’s SEE RECORDS, A7

What was hospital board thinking? Editor, As a property owner, I ask the Whidbey General Hospital commissioners, “What were you thinking?” The current hospital CEO is over-valued for the size and scope of the services provided. She will receive a $70,000 bonus for meeting criteria in the first year. Raise your hand if you get a bonus for doing your job. Anne Tarrant, hospital board president, announced that the board is not required to answer questions during a public meeting. Raise your hand if you can ignore input from the boss at work? The arrogance of that statement might be inter-
preted as having no ability to justify a series of poor decisions. Perhaps it reflects embarrassment at having been poor stewards of our tax money and trust in voting the current people into positions of responsibility. The name change is approved by the hospital commissioners with no consideration to cost. Commissioner Georgia Gardner, a certified public accountant, finds it useful because people in her circle don’t know the name of the clinic where they receive care. Commissioner Grethe Cammermeyer is excited about the focus on health. The hospital hasn’t been focused on Generals, right? I go to one of the clinics for dressing changes three times a week. The first appointment, Tuesday, cre-
ated a treasure hunt. There was no 2-by-2 inch sterile gauze. There was sterile gauze rolls to hold the dressing in place. There was one bottle of sterile water for cleansing. The splint I will graduate too comes in sizes. The therapist cannot order two, leaving one that will fit well and one for another patient. The hospital lost three doctors: a family practice physician and an orthopedist are both now practicing in Skagit. Island Hospital now has one of the surgeons who practiced on Whidbey. All three left because they could not get the equipment they needed for safe practice. Not one of them wanted to leave and commute or move away from Whidbey. The physician I see had 20 minutes to diagnose and

example. If legislators want to do something, they should reject HB 2576, and instead add to the supplemental budget a small amount to cover the cost of convening a stakeholder group this summer. The group should be balanced between representatives of government and open government advocates, not unbalanced in favor of agency interests. The scope of the discussion must be open, so that it is not limited only to concerns raised by agencies; advocates for public records access must be allowed to raise concerns about agency practices as well.

had even more interest from high school students from as far north as Oak Harbor, and we have been very pleased to invite them to play with the orchestra. As you know, there is no youth orchestra on Whidbey Island and no orchestra in the schools on South Whidbey either, so we are happy to provide young people with a chance to play repertoire which they may never otherwise encounter. We are also a mentoring and teaching orchestra, matching every young player with a seasoned adult musician. Tuition is paid by generous donors and the orchestra itself. Thank you for this insightful article containing interviews with some of our young members. Our next concert is 7 p.m. Friday, March 11, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland. We’ll be performing “Give Our Regards To Broadway,” an evening of some of Broadway’s greatest hits. Best,

Wrestling coaches return for another go By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record Two South Whidbey coaches, once contemplating retirement at the end of the winter sports season, decided to stick it out for at least one more year. Falcon wrestling head coach Jim Thompson and assistant Paul Newman, who have coached for more than 12 years, agreed to another season after the Mat Classic State Championships this past weekend in Tacoma. With state qualifiers Hunter Newman and Chase Barthlett and freshman Aryeh Rohde returning to what Thompson called a dedicated and passionate team, the coaches found the pull of the sport to be too strong. Thompson, who turns 70 in March, is among the oldest wrestling coaches in the state, said Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association Assistant Executive Director Brian Smith. The Falcon coach had his mind made up for most of the season that it would be his last, even going as far as informing South Whidbey High School Athletic Director Paul Lagerstedt. Thompson made a similar statement after the 2014-15 season. He could not leave then, and he could not leave now. “When it comes down to it, I just wasn’t ready to give

Newman and Thompson have coached together for more than a decade. They were assistant coaches under former head coach Wes Helseth in the early 2000s before Thompson took over the program. They’ve grown close in the countless hours they’ve spent in practice and at tournaments, so close that Thompson refers to Newman as his “second wife.” “It’s gonna be awesome,” Newman said of returning to coach. “I love working with (Thompson). The amount of

energy and knowledge he gives to that team is phenomenal.” Though Hunter Newman, Paul’s son, was sure that his father would see him through all four seasons with the Falcons, the elder Newman’s decision to return wasn’t easily made. “I was really thinking about it. It was tough for me,” he said. Thompson felt that staying with the program for at least one more year will also provide adequate time for Langley Middle School head wrestling coach Robbie
Bozin to observe practices and adopt some of his coaching techniques. The coaches are well aware of the stress and long hours that are on the horizon. They often spend 12 to 16 hours at wrestling tournaments on weekends, coaching up to 50 bouts in a day. But it’s the moments, Thompson said, when a wrestler wins his first match or qualifies for the state tournament that make all of the hard work worth it. Thompson recalled one recent example with freshman 152-pounder Owen Boram, who won his first-

ever match at the Everett Classic junior varsity tournament. “I love to see kids who never wrestled at all go through a whole season and fall in love with the sport,” Thompson said. “Anybody that wrestles, it helps them for the rest of their lives.” The coaches are asking for something in return for their commitment to the program. They expect Hunter Newman, who was eliminated in the placers-round of the state tournament, to earn a medal next season. They are also setting the bar high for Barthlett and Rohde, who they expect to be on the podium in every tournament. Core members of the wrestling team will participate in several offseason activities this summer. Newman and juniors Logan Madsen and Jack Nielsen have an arrange-
ment with Sultan High School to wrestle with members of their team as well as compete in freestyle tournaments. The Turks have finished in the 1A classification’s top-10 team standings for two consecutive seasons and have a host of returning wrestlers who placed in the top eight at the state championship. Rohde and Falcon sophomore Julian Fifield will attend the J Robinson Intensive Wrestling Camps. Thompson said the team will host clinics for youth wrestlers this summer at the high school. Several Falcon wrestlers will lead the activities and lessons. The idea is to reinvigorate a passion for the sport at younger ages, so they are better equipped to succeed when they reach the middle school and high school ranks, Thompson said. The time and date of the clinics are not yet scheduled.

Date pushed back for homeless youth shelter fundraiser By KATE DANIEL Whidbey News Group Time is ticking away and Ryan’s House for Youth is not giving up hope in its effort to raise the final $200,000 towards the purchase price of the former Countryside Inn, south of Coupeville. The nonprofit, currently based in Freeland, began raising funds early this year to establish the island’s first temporary living facility for unaccompanied homeless youths when the former inn fell into foreclosure. As reported in the South Whidbey Record Jan. 23, Executive Director Lori Cavender and fellow Ryan’s House staff thought the space appeared ideal to meet the needs of the organization and the young people they serve. Though Ryan’s House also operates a host family program, the list of unaccompanied youths awaiting host home placement is lengthy. In addition, some youths are not eligible for host family placement due to factors such as severe mental illness. The agency’s current headquarters, a small office space in Freeland, are also not quite large enough to accommodate the number of youths the organization serves, and the various services they aim to provide. Cavender said between 15 and 20 young people visit Ryan’s House for Youth every day. In 2015, Whidbey school district specialists who work with homeless families and youths had identified 104 unaccompanied homeless youths. Originally the inn’s seller, SaviBank, had set a deadline of Feb. 29 for the organization to raise enough funds for the purchase price of $525,000, though the bank granted a 30-day extension, making the new deadline March 30. The bank also donated $75,000.
Legislation to house transient children gaining momentum

Marchele Hatchner, a broker with SaviBank, and Ryan’s House for Youth Executive Director Lori Cavender stand in the kitchen of the former Countryside Inn. Ryan’s House is hoping to purchase the motel in order to convert it to a temporary living facility and drop-in center for homeless youth As of Feb. 25, Ryan’s House had raised a total of approximately $325,000, $80,000 of which was raised over the past four days. Cavender noted that they have received a number of small donations from donors who contributed as much as they were able, in the form of $100, $50, $25 and $10 checks. In an email, Cavender noted that though $200,000 may seem a daunting amount to raise in such a small amount of time, it could be less so if the community as a whole contributes. “They say it takes a village to raise a child, and for homeless youth(s), they are in need of this village more than those who have homes to go to at night,” she wrote. “It is our duty as community members to lift these often forgotten youth(s) and give them hope for the future.” Cavender later added that, initially, prospective donors

were apprehensive because they did not believe it could be done. Now that the goal seems more attainable, she said, more contributions are coming in daily. Cavender said she is fairly confident they will be able to raise enough to fund the initial purchase price, but will continue fundraising efforts even if so, in order to decrease or eliminate the need for funds to pay a mortgage. Should Ryan’s House obtain the inn, Cavender and her colleagues have several ideas in the works for continual fundraising means, such as renting out one or two of the apartments included in the property. That would generate revenue and help offset some of the operating costs. She also foresees the possibility of such money-generating endeavors as a seasonal corn maze and farm stand, both of which would meld well with the organization’s goal to support youth
in obtaining vocational and life-skills training at the prospective new facility.
Bill HB2440, legislation developed by Ryan’s House for Youth and three fellow western Washington youth advocacy organizations, has been garnering support from lawmakers in Olympia. The bill passed through the House with only one nay Monday, Feb. 22, and passed through the executive session in the Senate Committee on Human Services and Mental Health and Housing Thursday, Feb. 25. It is now on its way to be heard once more by the Rules Committee. If it is pulled for a vote and approved by the majority, it will pass. As reported by the Whidbey News-Times Jan. 23, recent changes administered by the Department of Social and Human Services altered the requirements for host families, making the process of approving host families more difficult and lengthy. This legislation would award an exemption to host families similar to that granted to foreign exchange students, making the process simpler and more feasible for prospective hosts. “Most of these youth(s) want to succeed and want to overcome their obstacles,” Cavender wrote. “They want to finish school, get degrees, and become productive members of society. They just need
the help from the community that their families failed to give them.” • To make a donation or learn more, visit www.ryan shouseforyouth.org/capital campaign.html.

All signs point to Museo By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
Need a sign? Look no further than First Street in Langley. Museo will open an exhibit all about signs in the literal sense with an artist reception 5-7 p.m., Saturday, March 5. Seattle painter Kellie Talbot and Langley-area metal artist Tim Leonard are the featured creators in the March show. Their focus is on a theme of reinterpreting the metal and neon signs that bombarded people along the byways and highways of bygone eras. The signs’ popularity may be fading with time as LED signs and readerboards are favored, but these two are clinging to the art of a handmade and painted metal sign, simple in its elegance and design but a true labor. “It’s all about the neon and the signs, they just seem to complement each other,” said Museo owner and curator Sandra Jarvis. Where their subject is similar, their delivery is worlds apart. Talbot’s works will make visitors do a double take and no doubt ask one another if they’re looking at a picture or a painting. Her photo realist, oilon-canvas paintings will be of old metal signs, the kind piling up at The Neon Museum in Las Vegas. Wherever she travels, like a recent road trip from New Orleans, she keeps her camera ready to capture the glitz and glamor and eventual squalor of all things manmade given enough time and decay. “Lots of people like to go on vacation to the beach. I like to go to Detroit and New Orleans and Yakima,” Talbot said in a phone interview. “I like to paint signage, cemeteries, train depots, old granaries, things like that, things that are man-made and have created our society and system,” she added. “To me, they are portraits of people, without having people in them.” The paintings are more than

Personal story laid bare on WICA stage
CONTINUED FROM A10
Actress and storyteller Ann Randolph has quite the life story to tell, from living in an Appalachian mental institution to working with Mel Brooks and Ann Bancroft in an off-Broadway play. Randolph will take an audience through her journey, “Inappropriate in All the Right Ways,” complete with TED Talk-style pointers about how to live life like she has during her one-woman show Wednesday, March 2 at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts. “People often come up to me after my autobiographical solo shows and share their own stories with me, and I thought why not do it in the theater,” Randolph said, in a news release. “We all want to feel that our story matters and I wanted to create a structure and format for the audience to have a chance to speak their story.” After hearing about Randolph’s travails, the audience is invited to share their own life stories, both the highs and the lows. She is an award-winning playwright and performer whose multi-character, solo show “Squeeze Box” was produced by Brooks and Bancroft and became an acclaimed off-Broadway hit. Her most recent solo production, “Loveland,” won her an award for her performance from the San Francisco Examiner. Tickets for “Inappropriate in All the Right Ways” cost $21.50 for adults and $19.50 for seniors and students, and are available online at https://tickets.wicaonline.com/ public or at the WICA box office.
vents — for his passion of shaping aluminum and steel and copper into forms of art for the past six months. His fixation on the works of a time gone by, what he calls the “Atomic Age,” inspired him to create 20 original pieces for the Museo show. There are five-point stars, nova-style stars as if they are bursting from the center, T-cross stars, diamonds, and what he described as being pieces of an old, dismantled theater marquee. The real star of his labor, he said, is a six-foot-tall finial, the top of a sign or building that has curves and layers as if it were a swan tucking its neck down. For Leonard, these works are a matter of taking what was old and reinterpreting it for the modern age and the future. LED signs at New York’s Times Square do not impresso him. Instead, give Leonard a day to flip through the pages of a vintage Vegas photobook. “I can show you photos of even Yakima in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s and these signs are everywhere,” he said Kellie Talbot image inside his shop adjacent to his home.

ideal owner. “The county has failed at its care-taking role,” she said. “It’s never going to be a county priority.” Hannold did not comment significantly on the matter, and Price Johnson was absent from the meeting. Making any improvements to the fairgrounds, which has some buildings that are nearly 80 years old, virtually requires that the port own the property, said port Executive Director Angi Mozer after the meeting. “You can’t get money to renovate someone else’s property,” she said. In its draft Rural County Economic Development grant, distributed at the meeting but not yet filed, the port proposes to restore most of the fairground’s 24 buildings and to produce positive or neutral revenue within 10 years.

able to get has been sparse,” Helpenstell said. “I find that frightening.” Moccia understood concerns about the location shift naturally would come as a result. She said changes in location are not typically something the district asks parents to have input on. Moccia added that the meeting will be the appropriate venue for addressing questions and concerns parents
The port said the August initiative would seek to raise the port’s levy limit by 5 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value, equating to about $200,000 per year, to support the fairgrounds. Grants would be required despite that income, the application said. Renovations would create 22 full-time jobs during the first three years, another 21 through year five, a total of 59 during the following “big construction projects,” and then level off at 29 jobs, with about 10 jobs retained after 10 years. The operation of the annual fair, which is sublet by the independent Island County Fair Association, would not be affected. • Details of the port’s plan for the fairgrounds are available online in a 90-page “vision” prepared by consultant Martin Matthews in January. For information, see http://fair.whidbeyislandfair.com/Content/pdf/ FairgroundsBiz.pdf
may have. “I think what happens is people get nervous because change is change,” Moccia said. “That’s why we’re letting people know so far in advance.” Katy Smith, Nolan Smith’s mother, disagreed with the reasons listed by the school and was also frustrated by the lack of input parents were given. “I like the fact that Nolan is in a smaller school,” Smith said. South Whidbey School Board Director Linda Racicot
said the board was informed of the decision and fully supported it. “We all agreed it was a good move,” she said. “That’s (Moccia’s) job to make those decisions, but we definitely are supporting it.” The address change will be the second in four years for the high school alternative program. The district moved and reformed the Bayview School alternative program into the South Whidbey Academy in 2012.

PARKING CONTINUED FROM A1
Several people criticized and questioned that loss. Over the years, space for overnight parking has dwindled near the Mukilteo terminal. Most recently, the Mukilteo City Council adopted rules to limit the lighthouse parking lot to a couple of hours and to charge. Ticketing has been enforced. “I feel a little powerless,” said Clinton commuter Zach
Simonson-Bond, who lamented the loss of parking and his inability to affect change about the issue. Such changes have left commuters like SimonsonBond with few options. His current ability to pay for parking at a private business near the waterfront is in jeopardy because that building is in the path of the new road the Washington State Department of Transportation needs to build from the existing highway to the proposed terminal

site. That means the building and the private parking lot are coming down. “That monthly commuter parking is important to a lot of us,” he said during a comment section demanded by the 70-or-so people who crowded Clinton Community Hall to hear about and criticize the terminal project. “And we’re losing it rapidly.” Later, Simonson-Bond commended the state employees for handling the at-times unruly crowd well. He even praised them for the

cultural designs that incorporate light, energy efficiency and Coastal Salish icons and images into the look of the passenger terminal. But those things do not help him get home to Whidbey Island after a long day working in Seattle. The demand for parking on the Mukilteo side of the state highway, of which the ferry route is an extension, was heard loud and clear by the ferries division and transportation department employees. “I get that, I’ve heard, ‘Parking, parking, parking,’ ” said Charlie Torres, the state’s Mukilteo multimodal facility project manager. Another feature that was roundly lambasted was the lack of a second slip at the terminal. Commuters recalled times when the existing Mukilteo terminal was out of operation. That meant they were rerouted to the Edmonds terminal, a significant change to their commutes. A second slip could also accommodate for three-boat service, other people said at the meeting. No three-boat service is planned for the Clinton-to-Mukilteo route, but has been championed by some Whidbey Island commuters as a possible way of reducing wait times. Maury Hood, a Clinton resident, warned the ferries division against demolishing the existing Mukilteo terminal. In the event that the new one is out of operation, a backup would be in the immediate area. Leaving the existing terminal isn’t possible. McIntosh said its removal was a condition of the permit for the new facility. The walk-on passenger span of the new terminal is designed as such that, if
money became available for a second slip, it would easily service the second slip built to the southwest. “We’re not precluding two slips,” Torres said. “But we’re only funded for one.” Other considerations had people questioning how accessible the rail station will be to and from the ferry terminal. Torres said a separated walkway from the Sound Transit rail platform to the ferry terminal is about 800 feet. A couple of women criticized that distance for not accommodating differently abled and mobility-impaired people. That entire stretch is uncovered. It should pass muster for Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, said Howard Fitzpatrick of LMN Architects in Seattle. Some of the design work was contracted out by the ferries division to LMN and Fitzpatrick. Even those who complimented the project threw in a barbed comment. Doug Hofius, an architect who lives in Clinton, commended the design of the terminal but critiqued the maintenance and staff building that will face the seven, 700-foot vehicle holding lanes. “But that maintenance building, four million visitors are going to be looking at it, and it’s kind of a turd,” he said, drawing laughs from the tense crowd. With the general look and operation of the new multimodal facility penciled out, the department of transportation will look at the specifics of actually building it. The next marker for when the state will return for a public comment/input meeting will be close to the 90 percent design, ferries employees said.
