KIWANIS FIREWORKSLittle stand delivers big bang over 40 years

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Four decades has allowed the South Whidbey Kiwanis group to collect a lot of memories and even more moolah from running a fireworks stand in Clinton.

On Wednesday, the non-profit group committed to helping children was back at it, setting up the trailer that houses about 75 cases’ worth of sparklers and ground blooms and mortars and a sinister-looking 16-shot box called “YOU Da’ MAN.”

For a pair of Kiwanians who have helped run the stand for several years, some memories are getting as hazy as the night sky around Independence Day on Whidbey Island. Ron Myers, the past club president and the current regional president in charge of several Kiwanis clubs around Western Washington, recalled that the stand never sold a $600 package of fireworks. His comrade at the booth disagreed. Don Lamontagne said not only did it sell every year, but some years they had to order a second one for an eager customer.

The truth existed somewhere between their stances. Liz Lisicich, the TNT Fireworks sales area manager in charge of the Whidbey stands, has worked with the South Whidbey Kiwanis since she started in the fire-works business. She said the larger packages sell some

Celebrate America to light up Freeland

By KATE DANIELSouth Whidbey Record

The 20th annual Celebrate America festival will light off in Freeland next week.

Continuing a tradition of fun and entertainment, the Thursday, July 3 event takes place in Freeland Park on East Shoreview Drive.

“It’s a fair kind of feeling — just a fun atmosphere,” said Dareld Chittim, associate pastor of South Whidbey Assembly of God Church.

The church has orga-nized the celebration, which is funded entirely by donations, for the past two decades. The event pro-vides a way for the commu-nity to come together in a family-friendly atmosphere and celebrate the freedom that we enjoy as Americans, Chittim said.

Food vendors will dish out a smorgasbord of deli-cacies beginning at 4 p.m.

Stacy Madsen, a Whidbey Coffee employee, said the company has been giving out free coffee for the past four years, a tradition they plan to continue.

“It’s pretty amazing that such a small community can come together to put on such a big event,” Madsen said.

Wee Whidbey Islanders can romp in the bouncy castle or have their faces painted from 3:40 to 7:40 p.m. and island musicians will begin performing at 6 p.m.

Performing this year are: HeartGraves, an alterna-tive rock band composed of siblings Conley and Newton Kellogg; South Whidbey Blues Combo with Garrett Poteat on piano,

Port to consider managing Langley fairground

By JUSTIN BURNETT

South Whidbey Record

Boat launches, marinas and leasing land for a cell tower, but the Island County Fairgrounds?

In a surprise move Wednesday, Port of South Whidbey commissioners voted unanimously to con-sider taking over manage-ment of the Langley proper-ty, a job currently performed by the Island County Fair Association. The decision — approved by commission-ers Curt Gordon, Dennis Gregoire and Ed Halloran — was nothing more than a promise to begin a dia-logue with county officials, but board members made it clear they were interested.

“There’s great opportuni-ty there as an Island County event center,” said Gordon, president of the board. “It fits the port’s mission, it fits the port’s taxing authority; it is probably prudent at least that we look into this.”

He emphasized that any future agreement with Island County, which holds the deed to the nearly 13-acre fairgrounds, would be limited to stewardship of the property and not orches-trating the annual event itself.

“I want it to be clear that ... we want to support the fair, but don’t want anything to do with running a fair,” Gordon said.

That’s just fine with lead-ing fair association mem-bers. Diane Divelbess, president of the group, told The Record Thursday that the proposal was “exciting” as it might be a solution

South End students claim Skagit Valley College honors

Ryan Foxworthy of Langley received the South Whidbey Center Academic Award from Skagit Valley College.

Foxworthy will gradu-ate with honors and an associate’s degree in arts. According to a news release from Skagit Valley College, he hopes to transfer to the University of Washington and major in business.

Naomi Bartel of Langley was honored with the South Whidbey Center Carol Huber Award. It was bestowed upon her for exemplifying academic achievement, commu-

nity involvement and the respect of her peers, faculty and staff at South Whidbey Center. Bartel was a student representa-tive who planned several activities, often by herself.

Skagit Valley College President Dr. Tom Keegan awarded Ashley Donavon (Oak Harbor), Hannah Geist (Oak Harbor), Charles Southard lll (Oak Harbor), and Paul Zacherl (Mount Vernon) with the President’s Medal for their outstanding academic achievement. Each recipi-ent was a graduating sophomore, had all A’s or A-’s, and attended SVC for at least three quarters.

James and Anika McLeod of Seattle were recently married in Wailea, Hawaii.

The ceremony took place on Thursday, May 1, 2014, on a bluff overlooking Molokini Island on a lush green lawn with the Pacific Ocean in the back-ground. Surrounded by family and friends, the wedding was “amazingly special” and “filled with love, happiness,

and joy,” according to an announcement sent to The Record this week.

James McLeod, a GENSCO wholesale distributor of HVAC products, is the son of Doug and Mary McLeod of Langley. Anika [Andrews] McLeod, with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is the daughter of Arnold and Laurie Andrews of Federal Way.

Aubrey Vaughan said Thursday that as interim commissioner he wants to rebuild the connec-tion between Camano and Whidbey islands and help the county through this year’s budget process.

“One of the reasons I’m running is I feel there’s been a disconnect,” said Vaughan. “I promise to restore that.”

And as the board begins its annual budget cycle, Vaughan said putting together a budget, which is usually adopted in the fall, is going to be one of his primary duties.

“This budget cycle is going to be very important,” said Vaughan.

After inter viewing three candidates at a spe-cial session Tuesday, Commissioners Jill Johnson and Helen Price Johnson deliberated for roughly 15 minutes in closed ses-sion before returning to open session and voting to appoint Vaughan, of Camano, as interim Island County commissioner for District 3.

Vaughan has been a mem-ber of the Island County Law and Justice Council, a seat he will relinquish during his commissioner service.

The District 3 seat was vacated suddenly in May when Kelly Emerson resigned seven months short of her term’s end, giv-ing a one week notice. Per state law, Emerson’s party, the Republicans, selected three candidates to be inter-viewed by commissioners to fill the short-term position.

Marc Hennemann of Camano and Richard H a n n o l d of North W h i d b e y were also interviewed.

V a u g h a n will fill the p o s i t i o n until the N o v e m b e r election when a permanent c o m m i s -sioner will be chosen by voters. Four Republicans and one Democrat have filed to run for the seat.

District 3 includes North Whidbey and Camano

Island.“I think the commission-

ers did a spec-tacular job get-ting through this,” Vaughan said. “This is not something that happens every day. It’s tough because they are having to pick one guy from three who are all good people.”

Ult imately, Price Johnson

and Johnson said they selected Vaughan because of his experience serving on the Law and Justice Council.

“He can hit the ground

running,” Johnson said.Johnson said while the

decision was tough, she tried to prioritize what was good for the county over her own preferences.

“It is difficult to tap one to sit up here and leave two others to sit in the audi-ence,” Johnson said. “It has been challenging for me to think through the differ-ence between the action I take as a commissioner and the way I would vote as an

individual with my own pri-vate ballot.”

Price Johnson said she had a “level of discomfort” about having to choose a fellow commissioner when ballots are going out in a few weeks. She blamed Emerson for her early departure.

“In a few short weeks the ballots are going to go out and District 3 will be making their preference known,”

Price Johnson said. “Two of the names that will appear on those ballots aren’t even available for us to consider. So none of us in this room created that situation … it was the outgoing commis-sioner who established this unfortunate timeline for us with her resignation.”

Price Johnson stressed that the board selection for an interim commissioner was not an endorsement for the November election.

“I want to make very clear that I don’t see this action today as an endorse-ment of any kind. We are charged with filling an open-ing and that’s the way that I’m approaching this deci-sion,” Price Johnson said. “I encourage folks to be engaged in the process and get to know the candidates.”

Vaughan echoed this plea, saying that he was chosen to fill a short-term need and that all candidates on the ballot should be considered.

Abandoned brush burn kicks up

A deserted slash burn off of Cultus Bay Road that was kicked up by strong wind gusts Thursday had to be doused by South Whidbey Fire/EMS.

“It was four large brush piles that they lit on fire, and they were actually burning into the brush,” said Deputy Chief Jon Beck, who was the com-manding officer at the fire. “It was an uncontrolled burn.”

Beck said 10 volunteers from the fire protection district used 3,500 gallons of water and 7 gallons of

foam to knock out the fire. They had to extinguish the burn just south of Deer Lake Road because it was moving toward the nearby brush, Beck said. Wind gusts kicked up the flames after the person in charge of the fire had left. Beck was not aware if it was a county-permitted burn.

“That’s why they say you have to be there,” he said.

Chief Rusty Palmer said the recent string of high temperatures, clear skies and wind have begun to dry out the grasses on South Whidbey. He and other fire district officials have begun discussing a county-wide burn ban, though that decision is ultimately up to Sheriff Mark Brown, Island County’s fire marshal.

“Things are starting to dry out pretty well,” Palmer said. “We have some chest-high grass in some areas, the rain helps those.”

Last year, a county-wide burn ban was issued after Independence Day.

Superintendent gets 3 more years

The South Whidbey School District voted unanimously this week to extend Superintendent Jo Moccia’s contract another three years from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2017.

The board also approved during its regularly scheduled Wednesday meeting a

second memorandum that granted Moccia a $2,500 pay raise. School board director Damian Greene, the body’s representa-tive on the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, was the only board member to oppose the increase.

“Personally I wish every-one in the district could get a raise, but not know-ing where we are with McCleary and the legisla-tive branch … It’s not per-sonal; it’s just me with the school district and I want to be, at this time, under the radar for us. So I just want you to know I’m not in favor of the raise. But I appreciate the work you’re doing; you’re doing a great job,” said Greene.

The board also honored graduating high school student Sydney Ackerman, who was the first student to serve on the board, with a certificate of recognition and memento for her con-tribution.

“She’s done a great job and added a whole new dynamic to the board and lots of interesting perspec-tives from students and from herself,” said Linda Racicot, chairwoman of the board.

Expecting Southern Resident orca?

Rhapsody, formally known as Southern Resident orca J-32, may be pregnant.

It’s by no means certain, as the only evidence are recent pictures of the 18-year-old female with a curiously round belly. Island experts are highly skeptical, but admit she is the right age, and could very well be carrying an unborn calf.

“It really is just a fun rumor; I wouldn’t sub-stantiate it,” said Howard Garrett, a founder of the South Whidbey-based Orca Network.

However, he said it is possible.

“It may well be,” Garrett said. “She does look a little large.”

Unfortunately, short of a physical examination or collection of feces — a dif-

ficult task to say the least — there is no surefire way of knowing when an orca is pregnant. Researchers can only guess and wait and see, he said.

Southern Resident orcas, which travel between California and Alaska, are a distinct population seg-ment of a sub-species composed of J, K and L pods, totaling 80 individu-als. They’re unique in that they don’t interbreed with other orcas of the world.

According to Garrett, it’s no surprise people are on the lookout for newborns. One or two per year are common, but the last recorded birth was nearly two years ago, in August of 2012.

“It’s way overdue to see a new baby,” Garrett said.

He noted that the sub-species has lost four individuals in the past year and a half — older members that have disap-peared and are presumed dead — so a newborn would be a welcome addi-tion.

Island County Fair Association leaders hope that a game of chance will have them yelling “bingo!” like the crowds at the Coffman Building.

The third night of the recently resurrected association-organized bingo is tonight, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Diane Divelbess, president of the fair association board, said she had plenty of fun at one of the first two bingo nights, from which all of the money goes into producing the annual Whidbey Island Area Fair.

“We applied to the Washington Gambling Association and jumped through all the hoops,” Divelbess said, adding that their games are crafted to be more nice than vice.

“It’s considered almost like a family form of gambling than it is hardcore.”

At $12 for the initial buy-in of 18 games and $1.25 for the dauber, — the ink stamp to mark when a called number matches the num-ber on the card — the three-hours of entertainment are cheaper than a movie ticket at a large cineplex.

Carrie Allen, one of the organiz-ers along with Kiley Grant, Carol Coble and Marilyn Gabelein, con-vinced the fair association to jump-start the program after attending

last year’s fair. The catch was that she had to run it.

That was fine with Allen, who has lots of nostalgia for hearing numbers be called while eagerly

holding the dauber and searching her card. As a girl on Whidbey, Allen played bingo during the fair with her grandmother. One loca-tion was rarely enough, however, and they would travel across the Puget Sound area to casinos and the Puyallup Fair for a chance at fill-ing a line on their card and hollering “bingo!”

“Nowadays, there’s not as many family-type things you can go do indoors,” Allen said, later adding, “It’s a sentimental passion of mine.”

“The grandma can bring her 6-year-old granddaughter, husband and wife can have a quiet date night,” Allen added.

Neither Divelbess nor Allen said they had concerns about the nature of bingo being a form of gambling, with lost and gained money behind it.

“Bingo doesn’t have that casino vibe, it’s more of a family fun thing,” Allen said. “Don’t get me wrong though, there are some pretty die-hard bingo players … We have everything from good luck

charms to lucky daubers.”

From now on, the fair asso-ciation will run bingo nights twice a month, generally the sec-ond and fourth Saturday. Though it gets thrown off schedule a bit because the game is also returning to the annual fair this year, with twice-a-

day sessions. “It was something lacking in the

community, besides the senior cen-ter,” Allen said.

Food, including chili made by Allen which she says is a hit, and drink will also be available for pur-chase.

ResponseHarassment, intimidation, insults are unacceptableEditor,

The training flights of the U.S. Navy Growler planes continue to cre-ate controversy in our community. There are strong feelings on all sides and yet we need to find common ground to move forward.

Name calling, harassment, and intimidation are unacceptable behav-ior — from anyone. Bullying tactics further polarize neighbors and do not bring our community closer to solutions.

I believe that the road forward is found with mutual respect and civil discourse.

Classified pet ad in The Record was “saddening”Editor,

I was saddened to see a half-page ad in your Saturday, June 21, issue for finding “… your perfect pet” by searching the paper’s classified ads.

As a former journalist, I like to think of newspapers as providing ethical awareness of contemporary issues and values. While I realize that advertising is your meat and potatoes for economic survival, I thought your ad painfully ignorant.

A never-ending parade of animals needing homes — pure breeds and mixed, mammals, fish, birds and rep-tiles — dominates shelter ads and websites such as www.petfinder.com. Law cases and news programs high-light issues with backyard breeders in every state in the union (see www.

paws.org/index.php/get-involved/take-action/explore-the-issues/puppy-mills/). Backyard breeders most often use classified ads in newspa-pers; reputable breeders of healthy, specialized breeds rarely need to advertise.

Thousands of animals are eutha-nized and killed (homeless) every day. Our tax dollars help pay for shelters, animal control staff, eutha-nizing, and highway cleanup of car-casses, as well as related issues too numerous to outline. What a sad waste of money and life.

Humans have caused this issue with pets, and humans need to solve the issue. Please help the public clean up the current pet scandal; start by being aware of the issues and considering the ethics of such

Port, fair proposal needs close scrutiny

Editorial

Once a week the South Whidbey Record publishes a his-tory column, 50 Years Ago Today.

The idea is to remind readers who we are, where we came from and to get an occasional chuckle over lighter stories of the past, such as last week’s column which told how a Record reporter fell asleep at a long ago Langley City Council meeting.

It does something else, however, and that’s reveal a cycli-cal nature of life on Whidbey Island. People are still talking about the same old stuff — beach access, hospital bonds, kids who made honor roll and preserving pieces of history.

In the decades to come, the column will remind us of Greenbank Farm, the tale of a community rallying together to save a property from development and how the Port of Coupeville sailed to the rescue. It will also tell how the port later nearly went broke under the financial weight of keeping up the over 100-year-old facility — along with bills to maintain the 100-year-old wharf — and that despite the farm’s handful of shops and annual events the facility has never been the shining star of rural economic development that so many dreamed of.

Given those challenges, one would think other ports would run screaming from taking on ancient properties, yet the Port of South Whidbey this week agreed to consid-er traveling a nearly identical road with the Island County Fairgrounds by becoming its property manager.

Thus, here we go again.Perhaps there is potential for economic development to

be accomplished from the realization of an island event cen-ter, but it will be a long and expensive road. Island County Fair Association leaders say they need $100,000 a year to properly maintain the fairground’s 27 buildings. That’s a hefty price tag, and even if paid there’s little guarantee the facility will become a year-round bustling hub of com-merce.

One need only look a few miles up the highway for an example, for Greenbank Farm is essentially the same thing — a gathering place for annual events and activities. It’s lovely, adds invaluable charm to Whidbey Island, but unfor-tunately it’s never really paid for itself. Rather than swim-ming in revenue, Port of Coupeville commissioners have raided their coffers again and again, making investment after investment, resulting in few jobs and limited economic payoff.

Port districts are not in the preservation business, they are in the economic development business. Their taxing authority is not granted to fund sentimentality, it’s to create avenues for new business and boost employment in their communities.

A property manager needs to be found for the fair-grounds, but it remains to be seen whether the Port of South Whidbey is the best organization for the job. Consider this proposal carefully, commissioners.

SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

advice to your readers.Sincerely,

MARIAN BLUEClinton

Monson is not a bully, COER doesn’t want to close baseEditor,

The theme of this letter is a series of inconvenient truths.

COER also had no role in any lawsuits being prepared against Whidbey Realtors concerning noise disclo-sures. And COER is neither seeking nor advocating the closing of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

COER has but two missions — closing the Coupeville Outlying Field and relocating all Growler training out of the North Puget Sound area.

The inconvenient truth is that more and more people in our area — including in

Oak Harbor — are frus-trated with Navy noise and environmental pollution.

Not every protest is by COER, but COER is sym-pathetic with all Growler noise victims and supports their legal efforts to protect themselves.

COER members did not attend Rick Larsen’s cam-paign event in Coupeville to protest. Almost all of us in attendance have repeatedly voted for Larsen. We went there to hear what he had to say about our concerns.

Larsen refused to pub-licly address the noise issue and even stated to one attendee that it wasn’t his problem. When he refused to address our concerns, almost everyone in the room left.

This walkout was a spontaneous response to Larsen’s refusal to talk to us as a group about our concerns. If he was embar-rassed at his event, it was due to his own cowardice, apathy and arrogance, not because of any action on COER’s part.

Michael Monson,

COER’s president, is not a bully. He was angry with Joe Mosolino because Mosolino publicly disclosed Monson’s personal informa-tion in order to discredit Monson. At the Larsen event, it was Mosolino who threatened to punch Monson, not the other way around.

Neither Monson nor COER ever threatened anyone with violence. We are not the ones advocat-ing rape and arson as politi-cal tools. We have never even called for a recipro-cal boycott of Oak Harbor businesses. We are not the bullies.

Lastly, you can hide from the science, but that doesn’t make it go away. The medi-cal and scientific evidence is unquestionable: Noise kills. Even the federal gov-ernment’s (including the Navy’s) own scientists and doctors agree.

Public exposure to the noise generated by the Growlers is a very real and serious health crisis.

Reading the letters recently posted in the

Whidbey News-Times by noise supporters would be discouraging if not for the volumes of emails and comments COER receives in support of its mission. The pro-OLF folks seem to believe that certain Americans and select com-munities are more valuable and more deserving than others, and that the lives, health and welfare of some Americans count for noth-ing. When did we forget that under our constitution we are all equal in the eyes of government and the law?

Vancouver relic should remain in WashingtonEditor,

I cannot understand

why the famous anchor, recovered recently off the shores of Whidbey Island, and supposedly from the HMS Chatham, should be shipped all the way across the country for evaluation and preservation.

I cannot believe that we here in the Pacific Northwest don’t have the facilities and skills to do the job as well, if not better, than Texas A&M University.

Capt. Vancouver’s ships were exploring Puget Sound, the anchor was lost in our waters, and the div-ers that found it and recov-ered it were local men. We might question to whom this very famous piece of history belongs, but it cer-tainly deserves to be kept right here, the only home it has known for the last 222 years.

To hear Freeland resident Chris Kesler talk about his upcoming sum-mit of Mount Rainier, reaching the top of Washington’s highest peak is a small task.

At least, it is compared to the people for whom he’s taking each step and raising $5,000: breast cancer patients. When Kesler, 49, runs into one Whidbey woman who is a breast

cancer survivor, she thanks him each and every time for similar past ascents he’s made. But she also asks him if he plans on doing it another year, and he has given her the same response the past two years.

“I say, ‘I don’t know,’ “ Kesler said. “Then when it comes around time to do it, there’s a pull … It’s still mean-ingful.”

“It gives them hope that eventually there will be a cure,” he added.

Despite not having a direct con-

nection to breast cancer, which has not afflicted any of his family members, he keeps climbing year after year. Kesler is tackling his third Washington summit as part of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center’s Climb for Breast Cancer Research. The past two years he hiked Mount Adams and Mount Baker.

The climb is a fundraiser for the Seattle-based lab that is working toward cures for various types of cancer. Mount Rainier is one of 13 trips across the globe this year, all of which funnel money through dona-tions directly to the center. According to the climb’s website, it has raised nearly $7 million since 1997. That money goes toward early-stage cancer research and studies, and helps researchers’ quickly respond to new information and technology and facilities, rather than waiting for federal or state funding.

On this trip, Kesler pledged to raise $5,000. He takes off July 18-20 with seven other hikers and four guides. As of June 27, he had raised $4,560 - $440 away from his goal. About one-third came from subcon-tractors and the construction compa-ny he works for, Lydig Construction. The rest, he said, has come from friends and family.

“Fifty bucks at a time, you know,” Kesler said.

The support Kesler and his donors gave to the center was well appreci-ated by Lisa Carlson, the event man-

ager of Climb to Fight Breast Cancer. “It is amazing how much money,

and how dedicated this group of indi-viduals is year after year,” Carlson said, adding that there are about 100 climbers total for this year’s summits. “And Chris has been just wonderful.”

Training for the climbs has become his pastime. He worked out three days each week and hiked every weekend. Earlier in June, Kesler took a trip to climb Mount Shasta, nearly as high as Mount Rainier’s 14,411-foot peak, to adjust and see how his body responds to the thinner oxygen.

“Guys like Chris are so good,” Carlson said. “He could go out climbing on his own. He wouldn’t necessarily need all of the services we provide. But he’s committed to the cause.”

A baseball coach for the past 10 years with a daughter in college and a son entering his senior year of high school, Kesler said mountain climbing and training for the breast cancer hikes have become his empty-nest replacement. Instead of coming home and wondering where the kids are, he works out at Island Sweat Shop in Clinton or trains by lugging a weighted pack up and down a bluff three times.

You’re going on vacation in a couple of months, but unlike some people, you can’t take your dog with you. They can barely handle short trips to the vet, much less a 10-hour trip to the beach. If you are lucky, you have a friend or relative willing to look after your dog. If not, you may have to look into hiring a pet sitter or boarding your dog. Either way, you’ll have to shell out some bucks, which could leave you with far less to spend on your vacation. Ugh. If only there were another option. Lucky for you, there is—a dog sitting exchange.

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

Dog sitting exchanges are springing up in areas across the country. One look online can uncover dozens

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

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

behaved. Your home must be clean inside and out. You must have all of your dog’s supplies

in good order and their vaccinations up to date.

You must also be willing to put in the time. You can’t just sign up as a member of a dog sitting exchange, get someone to watch your dog while you are on vacation and forever be busy when someone calls on you

to watch their dog. Eventually, the members of the exchange will catch on and ask you to

leave the group.

To � nd out more about dog sitting exchanges and whether there is one near you, conduct a search online and ask around. Check with dog clubs and organizations. Check with vets and groomers. Check with dog parks and pet stores. Where there are dog owners there may be a dog sitting exchange. If not, feel free to start one. Bring together your own group of dog owners, start a website and set up a schedule. Not a dog owner? No problem. Consider starting a sitting exchange for whatever type of pet you own.

Local residents quest for fibers

Weavers and farmers display their goods at annual tour

By KATE DANIELSouth Whidbey Record

When Mary Donaty was 10 years old, she fell in love.

This love was unlike any other — assertive, quirky, with a penchant for eating hair bows. And the object of her affection? A llama.

Today, 56 years later, Donaty raises llamas, alpacas and Pygora goats on Paradise Found Fiber Farm, tucked away in the forest of Clinton. She is also the founder of Whidbey Island’s annual celebration of fibers, the Whidbey Island Fiber Quest.

Donaty said she began the quest as a way of letting the public get a glimpse into the world of fibers, from raising and shearing the animals to spinning the spools. “I’ve organized this event so that we open our farms and share and tell the story of how we got to do what we individually do and how we work together as a unit,” she said. “I’ve been a fiber person for over 30 years and [taken]many paths, many roads, tried farmers markets

and things, and what I’ve found works best for me was to open my farm up and bring people here so I can give them a history lesson. I can give them the touch and feel of the animal. And I can show them what is possible to do with the fiber.”

In years past, Donaty has put together two events, one in fall and one in early sum-mer. But this year, there is a twist: it will only be offered once, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, July 5-6.

“I switch it up every year,” she said. “We started out just with the fiber farms and then we did Fiber Quest with a Twist and involved other businesses on the island and we did it spring and fall.”

Competition and burnout associated with spring and fall events proved a hurdle. Donaty explained that she and others decided to host the quest once in the sum-mer due to more favorable weather and light conditions which should allow attend-ees to better observe the production process. She has also limited participating businesses to those in the industry, explaining that, with so many other busi-nesses involved, attendees found it difficult to experi-ence everything.

“We hope that they con-

centrate just on fiber which is what the birth of this thing is all about, so it’s Fiber Quest with a Twist with a pair of sunglasses on,” she said.

Farm participants are Fern Ridge Alpacas, Paradise Found Fiber Farm, Pronkin’ Pastures Alpaca Ranch, Frosen Acres Alpacas, Olympic Mist Farm, Island Bliss Alpacas. Two shops, Knitty Purls and Whidbey Isle Yarns, Gifts and Teas, will also partici-pate and sell local goods.

Lynn Sheffield, of Olympic Mist Farm Alpacas, said she has been involved with Fiber Quest since its inception. “I have a farm store here, so for me it’s a way for me to get people to come and visit the farm and the store and learn more about the fiber,” she said.

Sheffield and others will also demonstrate spinning to visitors.

“I think the event tends to attract people that don’t live here on the island, so it’s just a great way to expand infor-mation about the hobby farm life and farm life and [give] information about the alpaca fiber and spinning and weav-ing out to the general public and expand our customer base,” she said.

Most of the farms raise alpacas, which are nearly

half the size of llamas and have shorter ears. Paradise Found Fiber Farm, of which Donaty is owner and opera-tor, is the only farm that pro-duces three fiber types — those from llamas, alpacas and Pygora goats.

Several of Donaty’s ani-mals were rescued. She calls her farm a demonstration of the “circle of life;” the animals have a home and provide her with fibers to sell, which in turn pays for their food.

According to Donaty, a variety of fiber products will be for sale on farms and in

the shops from roving to yarn and handmade items such as apparel and gifts.

Knitty Purls employee Lou Ann Toeppen said the event brings in quite a bit of foot traffic and helps both local farmers and businesses by spreading the word about Whidbey’s fiber offerings. Knitty Purls will be selling fibers and demonstrating spinning technique as a part of the quest.

Tickets may be purchased at any participating retailer or farm, or online at whidbey-fiberquest.com.

At each location visited,

participants will receive an initialed business card and have their ticket signed.

Patrons will have a chance to win a gift certificate in one of two ways: for every $25 purchase, the participant will be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift certificate; after visiting eight locations, par-ticipants will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift cer-tificate; some fiber shops will also have their own drawings and ways to win. Drawings for the $25 and $50 gift cer-tificates will be held July 18.

South Whidbey Record

Three people were trans-ported to the hospital and one man was seriously injured in two separate rollover acci-dents on the highway south of Coupeville Thursday eve-

ning.The Washington State

Patrol reported that Freeland resident Michael Breiling, 25, was northbound in a 2002 Ford F350 on Highway 525 and drifted over the center-line near the intersection with Houston Road. The truck struck a guardrail, rolled off the roadway and struck a tree.

Breiling was seriously injured and airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The State Patrol reports that drugs or alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, but the cause is still under investigation.

A few hours earlier, a southbound Brushworks NW van crashed near the intersec-tion of Highway 525 and Race Road.

The driver said he dozed off and didn’t make the turn in the road, according to the trooper at the scene. The van went off the road to the right, struck a tree and rolled on its side.

The driver and a passenger didn’t appear to be injured, but were transported to Whidbey General Hospital as a precaution.

“We’ve got a great lineup of entertainment again this year,” said Chittim.

Vintage car aficionados and admirers will have a

chance to enjoy Whidbey’s Model A Fords which will be on display at 5 p.m.

Veterans will be honored at 10 p.m. beginning with the “National Anthem” sung by Josh Bishop, continuing with a patriotic presentation of remembrance and recog-nition and concluding with “God Bless America” sung

by Cheryl Veblen. The evening will con-

clude with a cascade of col-ors as fireworks are set off over Holmes Harbor.

In years past, organiz-ers have scrambled to secure funding and have relied upon assistance from Nichols shipyard. This year, Chittim said, the funding

has not been a problem thanks to increased dona-tions from community members.

“It was really amazing to see all of the funding come together this year from indi-viduals and businesses in our wonderful community of South Whidbey,” he said.

Whidbey Coffee, Payless, Freeland Chamber of Commerce, Kirkland RV, Shortstop Texaco and the Freeland Shell service sta-tion have all been major supporters of the event this year.

Several roads will be closed Thursday from 2 to 11 p.m., including: Shoreview Drive, between Freeland and Myrtle avenues; Stewart Road, between Myrtle Avenue and Lynne Drive; and Myrtle Avenue, between Shoreview Drive and Main Street.

Beginning at 4:30 p.m., the roads are closed around Freeland Park and a free shuttle bus begins running from the Freeland park-and-ride and the Island Transit bus stop in front of Chase Bank.

to the funding headaches that have plagued the fair-grounds. The problem is so severe the non-profit associ-ation has threatened to back out of its existing lease with the county to maintain the property and its 27 buildings unless the county agrees to provide the group with more money. It is not, however, interested in relinquishing its role of putting on the four-day event.

“We have no intention of not managing the fair —we’re good at it,” Divelbess said.

Wednesday’s decision came at the urging of Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson. The District 2 Republican attended the port’s special meeting in Freeland and said recent discussions about the fair-ground’s future have made it clear that the county should not be in the prop-erty management business, Johnson said.

The commissioner added that she wasn’t there with a formal offer, just a pitch to discuss the possibility of a future partnership.

“What I’m not prepared to do is propose marriage... but I would like to ask the board if we could seriously date — not a one-night stand, but seriously date,” Johnson said.

Earlier this year, fair visionaries unveiled the Island County Fairgrounds Master Plan, a proposal to turn the facility into an island event center over a 10-year period and to the tune of more than $10 mil-lion. The plan called for the demolition of about half of the ground’s existing struc-tures.

“What became clear in that process is that for the fairgrounds to reach its full potential, it needs active management,” said Johnson, adding that the port and its mission for eco-nomic development may be just the organization to pull it off.

Plenty of concern was voiced by Gordon’s fellow commissioners: Halloran questioned the financial viability of the proposal, and Gregoire the challenges of stacking it onto the port’s existing workload, but both

ultimately agreed to inves-tigate further. Gordon, who was involved in the master plan’s creation, argued that the potential for “economic development” — a port’s primary duty —is there but that it’s also a chance to nurture and preserve some-thing precious.

“[The Fairgrounds] is one of the few last cultural pieces that South Whidbey has,” said Gordon.

“What that means is, you don’t go full throttle just because it makes you the most money,” Gordon said.

“You gotta make sure you respect the unique rural character and environment of South Whidbey Island, and I think we could do the best job of anybody.”

Divelbess said the asso-ciation is “quite capable” of managing the property, but not under the terms of its current lease agreement with Island County, which provides just $30,000 per year in capital funding. She maintains the job requires three times that, about $100,000, which is why association leaders recently told the county commission-ers they would not renew the existing lease when it expires Sept. 30 unless they are supplied with additional funding. That ultimatum may have been a precursor to Johnson’s proposal.

“The county knows if we don’t get any money, we’ll pull away from property management,” she said.

Divelbess said having a new landlord might result is some initial “do-si-doing” over event schedules, but she is hopeful that such an arrangement would be ben-eficial to all.

“I’m optimistic, but I’m always optimistic,” she said.

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, a District 1 Democrat, did not attend Wednesday’s meeting, but she’s been in contact with port, and other junior tax-ing district officials on the South End, including the South Whidbey Parks and

Recreation District and Langley.

Representatives of those organizations were also will-ing to talk about possible partnerships, said Price Johnson, but none of them have taken action as formal as a vote.

The commissioner said the financial realities of the fairgrounds remains the same. Revenue from the annual fair is not enough to cover property expenses, and the county needs to find a manager that can take on the task, especially with a September deadline fast approaching.

“Bringing people together to address that is what we’re doing,” Price Johnson said.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye 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 cord by v isual iz ing 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.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

years, and sit on the shelf on others.

Either way, the two Kiwanis agreed that their stand is a major attraction between late June and July 5.

“We have a following you would not believe,” Myers said. “We have one guy — you think I’m going to put you on — he backs his truck up and starts ordering. He’ll leave after $1,500.”

In front of the trailer, the Kiwanis has a white board with handwritten notes of what fireworks money sponsors.

Over 40 years of operat-ing the fireworks stand for eight days a year on South

Whidbey, the club has gen-erated about $500,000 for its philanthropic endeav-ors. Fireworks sales have

funded everything from the Holiday House and back-to-school boxes of school supplies to college schol-arships and high school student trips to the Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership conference. Kiwanis’ dona-tions have made a serious mark on South Whidbey’s young people.

The stand has averaged around $40,000 in sales the past few years, though

Myers said most of that money comes in between two days: July 3 and July 4. He and fellow Kiwanians would prefer seeing a more even distribution of sales, but they’ll take the money when they can — just not before the state allows them to sell on June 27, despite several people pop-ping by while they set up and stocked shelves a cou-ple of days before.

Lisicich said the Clinton Kiwanis stand has a strong s a l e s record for its area’s p o p u l a -tion. It may not be the top seller, she said, but the K i w a n i s has lots of support from Whidbey Island resi-dents.

“They have the communi-ty support,” she said. “They do quite well.”

The stand, open daily, has gone through its first 75

cases in years past. Myers said they expected to order

a n o t h e r 25 or so b e f o r e the sell-ing season ends.

One of the rea-sons for a late surge in sales, a c c o r d -ing to

the Kiwanis, is that people stockpile fireworks for New Year’s Eve because the Kiwanis does not open their stand again after July 5.
