People wait for an Island Transit bus in Freeland. The agency is recovering, but much work remains.

Island TransitBy JESSIE STENSLAND

South Whidbey Record

The challenges facing Island Transit go beyond the financial mess that came to light last summer.

Interim Director Ken Graska, who has been on the job for three months, said an aging bus fleet, a surplus of unneeded buses and other vehicles, and the uncertainty of state funding have added to the challenges facing the agency.

In addition, Island Transit leaders have yet to resolve such issues as fares, advertising on buses, possible misuse of federal funding and a defini-tive schedule for restoring service cuts.

Nevertheless, he said the agency is getting back on track and he’s opti-mistic about the future. He said Island Transit has what it needs to succeed: a skilled and committed staff, a vigilant board, a fantastic facility and a commu-nity with a long history of supporting transit.

“I call this kind of a new beginning for Island Transit,” he said. “We need to get back to basics.”

The agency laid off 23 staff mem-bers and cut bus service last summer

after serious financial problems came to light. The director and financial manager were replaced, as have been all but one member of the board of directors.

The overall budget for this year is $12 million, with $7.8 million coming from a 0.09 percent sales tax.

Graska was hired as an interim director for a six-month period but the board has since decided to put off plans to advertise for a permanent director.

Graska said the agency’s finances are stabilized and the management staff figured out a way to bring back 70 percent of the bus service that was cut last year, not including the loss of Saturday service.

To begin addressing the many issues facing the agency quickly, the board decided to start holding month-ly workshop meetings, in addition to the regular monthly board meetings.

Oak Harbor City Councilman Rick Almberg, the chairman of the board, said he was surprised to learn that Island Transit hasn’t had a vehicle replacement fund or schedule.

“They’re been relying on grants,” he said, “which are by nature unreliable.”

Almberg also questioned why the

parking lot of the new facility is con-sistently filled with buses. He said it gives the public the impression that the agency has many more buses than needed.

Graska said he’s working on addressing both inter-related prob-lems. He said some of the buses and support vehicles in the lot of the aging fleet are so old that they are broken down, not needed or otherwise unus-able.

He’s developed a plan to surplus both buses and some support vehicles, though he’s not sure how much money the agency will be able to recoup since there’s not a lot of demand for old buses.

In addition, he said many of the buses in the active fleet have aged beyond what the federal government considers to be the usable life cycle. Older buses require costly mainte-nance.

The agency will be getting nine new light-duty buses next year through a federal grant that requires a 20-percent match. But he said additional grants could be three years away while the

Langley nixes food trucks from annual event

Dads, daughters get ready to boogie at district ballBy BEN WATANABE


Food trucks with city-issued licenses will have to look elsewhere than downtown Langley during Choochokam Arts Festival weekend.

The Langley City Council approved 3-1 a motion Monday night to exclude the vendors July 11-12. The annual music and arts fes-tival draws thousands and cordons off parts of the downtown business area for artists to sell their works and food vendors to keep the crowd fed. Councilman Bruce Allen, who serves on the festival’s board, voted against the rule because he originally wanted a city-wide exclusion during the weekend. Food vendors during Choochokam pay around $500 for the right to operate, Allen said, which includes the cost of power. City-licensed food trucks would pay at least $200, plus an open-ended bid.

Under the amended rules, a property owner out-side of the downtown area could allow a food truck to set up shop, so long as it had the proper city license and county health permit.

“It’s a competition at this point, and the restaurants have a hard time already,” said Councilwoman Rene Neff, who initially support-ed Allen’s motion for the full exclusion.

Allen’s motion was held moot by two nay votes by Councilmen Thomas Gill, who had previously argued against the city barring food trucks outside of down-town, and Jim Sundberg.

Kevin Lungren and his daughter, Emma, have been attending South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District’s Dad and Daughter Ball “since Emma could walk.”

“There are many things fathers and sons can share, and not so many obvious things for dads and daugh-ters,” Kevin Lungren wrote in an email to The Record. “It’s a special evening for just the two of us.”

As Emma is 18 and prepar-ing to head off to college, this will be the final year she and her father attend.

Children grow up all too quickly, he said, and it is important to create lasting memories.

The dad and daughter ball began about 13 years ago and has become a popu-lar annual event for South Whidbey families, a chance for young women and their male guardians to bond and spend quality time together while mingling with fellow families and friends.

This year’s event will take place from 7-8:30 p.m. Saturday, March 7, at the South Whidbey High School Commons.

Tickets cost $27 per child and guardian pair.

Carrie Monforte, pro-grams coordinator for South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District, noted that girls may bring any guardian they choose, though the majority of attendees are fathers and daughters.

Getting people to inspect their septic systems has been an ongoing battle for Island County.

And it’s one that the law doesn’t necessarily incen-tivize.

When the county first implemented the law in 2009, it could have cost a homeowner around $250 for an inspection, $62 to submit the results and up to $20,000 in repairs or replacement if problems were discovered.

On the other hand, if the county found out a resident is non-compliant, they are only issued a $25 fine. With the county’s limited staff and resources, enforce-ment has been a problem, according to Keith Higman, the county’s public health director.

“The system hasn’t cre-ated a great incentive for compliance,” Higman said.

Today, things are a little different.

The $62 fee was removed in recent years and the program has continued through Clean Water Utility funding.

In addition, the county now has access to federal rebates, grants and loans to assist — and incentivize — homeowners to take a real look at their septic systems.

In efforts to get the word out, a community meeting was recently held at the Captain Whidbey Inn on Central Whidbey focusing on the Penn Cove water-shed to encourage people to both think e n v i r o n -m e n t a l l y and com-ply with the law. The county s e r v e d Penn Cove m u s s e l s , in part to drive home the point that clean water is essential for a healthy ecosystem.

“We hoped people would make that connection,” said Ruth Piccone, Island County environmental health specialist.

Identified as one of the county’s high risk water-sheds, Penn Cove is a body of water with low dissolved oxygen making it sensitive to pollution, Piccone said.

This hyper-focus on Penn Cove was made possible by a $60,000 area-specific fed-eral grant applied for by Higman’s staff and awarded

to high-risk watersheds. Due to the sensitivity of Penn Cove and its 1,177 septic systems, the money is intended to pay for up

to $300 of a resi-d e n t ’ s i n s p e c -tion.

“ I t ’ s l i m i t e d and we w a n t p e o p l e to take a d v a n -t a g e , ” Piccone s a i d . “ T h e m o n e y will run out.”

I n a d d i -tion to

the Penn Cove-specific money, the county also has access to grants and loans county-wide to assist residents in caring for their septic sys-tems.

The county has more than 27,000 known septic systems with a 21 percent compliance rate, Piccone said. The endangered Penn Cove watershed has only 16 percent compliance.

South Holmes Harbor and Maxwelton watersheds are also high-risk areas,

although the county has yet to gather hard compliance numbers on them.

While the county has pre-viously focused on overall compliance, they are taking a step back from that and simply trying to get people to see what’s going on with their systems.

“Some have never even been looked at,” Piccone said. “The value is making sure each septic gets an inspection. We want them to open the lid and have a look.”

One reason people might be hesitant to inspect is because a big, expensive problem might be found.

However, at this point the county is not looking to penalize people for any problems but simply work with them on solutions, Piccone said.

Another obstacle to inspections has been the county’s lack of staffing and funding to send some 27,000 letters to septic owners and remind them to inspect, according to Higman.

“The compliance rate is low because if people aren’t reminded of what they’re supposed to be doing, they just won’t do it,” Higman said.

The septic inspection requirement was adopted into state law in 2005, a county ordinance was cre-ated by 2007 with a 2009 implementation date.

Higman said that in 2005 there seemed to be a rec-ognition that a “one size fits all” approach would not work for many counties.

Additional legislative pressure was placed on the 12 Puget Sound coun-ties where the highest risk of contamination exists, although their approach was left to local decision makers.

Given its limited resourc-es, Higman said the county opted for a “risk-based” approach to septic compli-ance, focusing on the areas with the highest contamina-tion potential. Island County modeled its program after Thurston County and the approach is not uncommon

state-wide.The county encourages

homeowners to regularly inspect their septic sys-tems. The cost to a home-owner varies depending on the type of septic system and the home’s proximity to environmentally sensitive land. Inspections should take place between one and three years and in certain cases, the homeowner may attend a county class and learn to inspect their own system.

Inspections can cost any-where from $120 to $350 for which assistance is avail-able.

Moving forward, Higman said the framework for com-pliance will likely change and evolve with time and public input.

“Until we get to a place when we truly understand the operations of septic sys-tems in our area, it’s gonna be hard to develop an effec-tive system,” Higman said.

County tries new avenues for septic compliance

“The compliance rate is low because if people aren’t reminded of what they’re supposed to be doing, they just won’t do it.”

Keith Higman Island County public health director

Council adds $2K to mayor’s salary

Langley’s next mayor will make $55,000 a year.

The city council approved the higher sal-ary from the city’s base $30,000 salary, which is in the Langley Municipal Code. As part of the adjustment, the council also voted for a $2,000 salary increase based on past cost of living adjust-ments that other city staff received for the past four years.

“I don’t think $55,000 is

enough,” Councilwoman Rene Neff said.

Councilman Jim Sundberg said he sup-ported the increase and keeping the salary higher than the base $30,000 because it ensured a high quality of candidate who would work full time. He was joined in support by Councilman Bruce Allen, who praised Mayor Fred McCarthy’s work schedule and accomplishments since taking the office in February 2013.

“I don’t think we would’ve gotten a lot of things done that we got done if we didn’t have a full-time mayor,” Allen said.

Will Collins, a Langley resident, spoke in favor of the increase as well to attract someone who can run the city and provide for a family.

“If we want to move into the 21st century, we need to look at the mayor’s position as a pro-fessional,” he said.

Firehouse will go up for sale

Langley will soon accept proposals to pur-chase the firehouse build-ing on Second Street.

The city council approved the request for proposals Monday at its

regular meeting. Seeking proposals helps the city maintain some degree of control over what goes into the space and for how much. It was for-merly the city’s fire station before being converted in 2009 into a blown-glass studio run by artist Callahan McVay.

“The RFP is written in such a way that price is not the sole deter-mination,” Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio said.

McVay recently asked the city about buying the building, prompting city officials to look at their options. On the advice of Davolio, the city is pursu-

ing the request for pro-posal route. The first step requires the city to sur-plus the building if indeed Langley chooses to part with the property.

As part of any future agreement, Langley would retain an ease-ment on the parking lot for public use and the Second Street-facing area that is part of the plaza.

Councilwoman Rene Neff said it would be good for the city to no longer worry about upkeep of the aging cinderblock building. The city council will ulti-mately have the decision whether or not to sell the building.

Comp plan input meetings ahead

Island County will host a number of informal public meetings to dis-cuss the Island County Comprehensive Plan Update, to be completed in 2016. Island County is expected to grow by 9,452 people and 2,031 jobs between now and 2036, according to a news release from the Island County planning department.

Updating the Comprehensive Plan provides an opportunity for a countywide discus-sion about land use and development standards, guiding how the county might grow over the next 20 years, as required by the Growth Management Act.

These meetings will provide members of the public with an opportunity to meet with Island County staff and share their ideas about the future of Island County.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Heeding the words of sev-eral residents, the Langley City Council agreed to task the planning director with gathering data on the mari-na’s visits and projections ahead of a public input meet-ing in late March.

During a workshop this past Thursday, the council met with the city’s admin-istration to go over a range of near-term and long-term issues. Chief among them was the pressing discussion of how the city can better transport people to and from the Port of South Whidbey Harbor, commonly called the Langley marina.

Michael Davolio, Langley’s new director of Community Planning, pro-posed starting the project process from scratch. The next step will be a stakehold-er input gathering tentative-ly scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, when project advocates present the mer-its of specific designs, from funiculars and lifts to trol-leys.

“My goal is to be able to bring people together, get everything out on the table and give the council everything to make a good, informed decision,” Davolio said.

Some of the well-debated ideas include a funicular along the Cascade Avenue bluff and a bridge and eleva-tor. For any bluff-side proj-ect, the city will need a will-ing marina-level property owner — Langley doesn’t own land at the base of the bluff.

Council members dis-

cussed the challenges of depicting what the project may look like, particularly how a single image might dominate and negatively influence public perception of a specific design or the entire project. They wor-ried it might carry enough weight that people ignore the potential for future changes to make it more amenable.

Council members referred to public outcry after The Record published early design mockups of the bridge and elevator, dubbed the Langley Lift, that showed a well-obscured view from Cascade Avenue. The designs had already been publicly released and posted on the city’s planning website when published.

“Trying to show one option is very myopic,” Councilman Thomas Gill said, adding that visuals such as dioramas may help people understand location, size, impact and scale.

City leaders and busi-nesses have cited the need to bring boaters up from the marina. Clipper Vacations has scheduled a handful of whale watching tours to stop in Langley in the coming months. Company leaders have also informed the city and written a letter to the editor in The Record citing the need for a funicu-lar to transport people up the bluff, circumventing the walk up Wharf Street.

No project will be approved by the date of the first Clipper visit in March. In the interim, Langley is considering renting taxis or a large van to work in con-junction with the Langley

Main Street Association electric golf cart to shuttle people up and down during the visits. McCarthy said the city spending money to help business would be consid-ered a “legitimate economic development expense.”

An overhead view of the location of the funicu-

lar, one of many options Langley has to move people

between South Whidbey Harbor and the commercial

arteries of the city.

In responseFunicular bashing was off the railsEditor,

This letter is in response to the Feb. 17 letter with the headline “Clipper Claims Are Out of Touch.” Several, if not all of the letter writer’s claims are mere opinion. But a couple of the claims seemed very odd to me and turned out to be not factual.

The Langley planning department map places the proposed funicular station on the top of the bluff at a point near the intersec-tion of Fourth Street and Cascade Avenue. The let-ter writer claims that, “… the proposed funicular sta-tion on Cascade Avenue

creates a 1,100 foot walk to the nearest destination in town on the bluff side, much farther than from the base of Wharf Street.”

I took “the nearest des-tination in town” to mean the library. I was curious. I actually measured the distance with a measuring wheel from the end of the dock to the library. It is 1,075 feet up the steep hill. The distance from the pro-posed Cascade station to the library (I included the 72 extra feet people would walk from the end of the dock to the lower funicular landing area) is only 666 feet along a fairly flat walk. The difference is 409 feet. That’s over one-and-one-third football fields!

Even if “the nearest destination in town” was meant by the writer to be

the Pizzeria, the distance from the proposed Cascade Station to Village Pizzeria is still 152 feet shorter than up the steep hill from the end of the dock.

Having measured these routes twice, I am confident that the proposed funicular station on Cascade would drastically shorten the walk, not to mention the steepness. The writer’s claim is just not valid.

This easily researched example casts doubt on all the letter’s claims. It appears that it is more important to discredit the funicular proposal with misleading statements than to research the facts of what would be most ben-eficial for all of Langley.

Thank you,CLAUDIA MITCHELL

Town, marina link good for businessEditor,

Mayor Fred McCarthy’s column in the Saturday, Feb. 21, edition of The Record described the eight-year history of the City of Langley wrestling with the question of what to con-struct as a transportation system to better connect the marina and waterfront with downtown. Although there is an already approved $500,000 budget for this project and most community thought favors the funicular, the mayor now wants to go back to the drawing board to continue debating what we should do. He has reopened every previous system proposal

Editorial

Few topics over the past year have generated as much discussion and disagreement in Langley as the plan for a bluff conveyance down to the marina.

Project champions herald it as a long-overdue utility, a convenience that will not only shuttle people to and from the waterfront but transport the city itself into a more prosperous future. To detractors, it’s a potential blight on the view shed, an ill-conceived and expensive political machination for which taxpayers will ultimately pay the price.

Who is right? Which group, project supporters or critics, have accurately predicted a future of boon or bust using nothing more than individual speculation and the results of home Internet searches?

To date, The Record has resisted drawing a conclu-sion largely for one reason: there simply isn’t enough information to make an informed decision. Having an opinion about aesthetics is one thing, but who can say with any certainty what economic impacts such a proj-ect would have on the business community, what the cost of operation for various designs/proposals would be or even whether the project is legitimately needed in the first place.

Well, we can’t, and for that reason we applaud the city’s move to go back to the drawing board and hold a charrette later this month. The project has been in vari-ous stages of discussion for about a decade, so it wasn’t the most popular decision, but a necessary one in our opinion.

This is the city’s chance to really nail down what resi-dents want and begin the process of answering ques-tions that really do matter, such as the beginning and ongoing price tags of different conveyance designs.

Critics are absolutely right to question the cost and maintenance of any project. Construction may be cov-ered with grant money, but future expenses will eventu-ally come from the wallets of taxpayers, and personal assertions that everything will be fine doesn’t fit the bill.

To make a real choice, people must have an idea of what various designs will cost. Having legitimate information about public benefit, both economically and transportation wise, is also a must.

Clearly any project that does move forward won’t do so with unanimous public support, but the city can and should do its utmost to identify the best course ahead. Taking this step is an indication that city leaders are doing just that, and it’s gratifying to see they are taking the time to get this important project right.

SEE LETTERS, A7

—eight possible although most realistically not feasi-ble projects — and one “do nothing” option.

If the city does not do something and do it soon, are we in danger of losing the half-million dollars?

The president of the fleet of sleek red, white and black Victoria Clipper jet boats, Mr. Darrell Bryan of Clipper Vacations, wrote a letter of strong support for the Langley funicular plan (Feb. 7). His company would love a reason to schedule more stops at the Langley marina. His endorsement, however, was almost immediately attacked by Ms. Marelle Sadler, a resident, who wrote a response letter in the Feb. 18 edition. She tried to dis-count his enthusiasm for the idea of a Langley major attraction like the funicular with a litany of exagger-ated and mostly erroneous counterclaims; however, her rationale was faulty.

For example, one of her mistaken objections to the Clipper Vacations endorse-ment was aimed at ADA (handicapped) compliance. A well designed funicular would absolutely be the best and most practical and cost-effective transportation

option; and, of course, would meet every ADA handicap-friendly requirement.

Of the mayor’s options list, only a beautifully designed “fun” funicular, one designed in keeping with the spirit of historic and quaint Langley, can help put Langley on the map as a major community attrac-tion for so many people. The funicular could change Langley from being only a summertime quick stop for a few visitors into a thriv-ing 12-months-a-year recre-ational destination for many, people literally coming from everywhere.

The funicular could immediately begin provid-ing the economic boost our merchants need right now.

DICK McGRATHLangley

Lift would benefit merchants, visitorsEditor,

I have been seeing let-ters about a lift that would take people to or from the

Langley marina. I think this would be a good addition to our city by the sea.

There has been talk for years about bringing people up to the town from the marina so that they can eas-ily spend their money in Langley. This kind of traffic would help our businesses and we really need a shot in the arm of this kind. The recession hit Langley businesses hard and many shops closed over the years. I still see this happening. Times are better but they are still tough in Langley.

People who moor at our marina talk positively about the Everett and Oak Harbor marinas because they cater to the needs of boaters. I think we should try to cater to their needs also and in the process benefit from the money this would bring to the town.

I have seen some letters to the editor that paint a lift from the marina in scary terms. I am bewildered by this kind of thinking as it makes a lift into a tragedy of

huge proportions not unlike a visitation from Godzilla. Try a bit of positive think-ing instead.

The lift could bring funds to our city, enjoyment to citizens who could partake of the view. Then again I like the idea so that I can get my walk to the marina, enjoy myself and avoid the hill on my walk back up to town. We have the grant to pay for the lift so step out in faith and go for it!

MARALIE JOHNSONLangley

Don’t pull purse strings too tightEditor,

I was dismayed by Sharon Emerson’s letter of Feb. 28 in The Record. It’s not just Ms. Emerson, it is the mindset of many people that troubles me. It is the unwillingness to embrace change and possibility. It is the unwillingness to invest in the future of Langley.

I served on the Langley Chamber of Commerce

board for nearly 10 years and was the president for three years. I have also been a business owner at Bayview Corner and work in downtown Langley at Music for the Eyes. I men-tion this simply to lend credence to my experience with the business commu-nity.

There are dozens of peo-ple on a waiting list for slips in the marina. If we build it, they will come. I talk to people regularly who have brought their boat over to our marina to visit Langley. They eat and shop in town. More would come if we had more space. And I’m bet-ting that if there were an elevator to take them up and down the bluff, they would use it. People would use it to picnic in the park, walk out on the pier and stroll on the beach. Mystic Sea whale watchers would use it as well as the pas-sengers on other excursion boats. I think it would be an attraction and a wonder-ful convenience for custom-

ers of the marina, Boatyard Inn, the Saratoga Inn and anyone who wants to visit our waterfront. An elevator would be another unique feature of our town. It might even encourage further development of the marina area, even a waterfront res-taurant.

Change is the nature of the universe. That which doesn’t change, dies.

We can’t be so short-sighted. We can’t pull the purse strings so tight that we choke ourselves with them.

BUY! BUY! BUY!

Do you invest in the stock market? When do you buy - when prices are low or high? Looking for a new TV? If the model you want is on sale at $100 off, would you wait until the sale was over to buy? If you wanted to serve steak to your family and noticed it was on sale at $2.99 a pound, would you respond with a trip to the store?

Thought about buying a home? Don’t wait! Interest rates recently dropped to the lowest level in nearly four years, according to a leading mortgage company. This presents an awesome opportunity.

So, where do you begin? Choose an agent, then set an appointment with a mortgage lender. No longer is it necessary to begin a home search without knowing whether you qualify for a mortgage. No longer must you guess at the price range for which you quality.

Provide the loan offi cer with details about your income sources and any debts you may have. Be prepared to provide names, addresses, and account numbers. Discuss openly any factors that may have an adverse impact on the lender’s decision.

Once you’ve obtained a fi rm loan commitment, begin your home search with confi dence. Sellers will respond more favorably to your purchase offer due to your strength as a buyer, and your low interest rate will put you in more home for the money.

SW squad falls to eventual state champions By BEN WATANABE


The South Whidbey Reign’s rule of the state championship is over after the boys U-19 soccer club lost 3-0 to Seattle United on Feb. 8 in Tukwila.

Being eliminated from the Presidents Cup also ended an eight-year era of these players together, most of whom play for the South Whidbey High School Falcons.

“They had a remarkable run and it was not always easy,” said Reign coach Terry Swanson. “But I will miss being on the field with these players.”

The Seattle squad went on to win the Washington Youth Soccer title 3-0 over Nortac Colibri Pablo. Both of the championship game’s teams were the only ones to defeat South Whidbey in the play-offs this season.

Swanson, in a news release to The Record, said many of the Reign players have been on the same team for 12 years. They started in the South Whidbey Youth Soccer Club leagues, advanced to the Revolution and then eventually formed the select team, the Reign.

Since becoming the Reign, South Whidbey amassed a 25-8-3 record over two years. Its statistical accomplish-ments stand out as well, scor-ing 127 goals and allowing only 39.

South Whidbey won three division titles in the North Puget Sound League and was runner-up in Division 3 of the state association’s designated “highly competitive” league.

Swanson, who shepherded the players through the many iterations of the team, said he watched many life lessons get passed on to the boys. The importance of dis-cipline, dedication, address-ing challenges head-on, and working with people who they may not get along with to achieve a common goal.

The longtime coach thanked several people, including assistant coach Don Zisette; managers Michele Zisette and Vicky Hassrick; trainers Ernie

Merino, Dino Michaelides, Joe Miller, Oliver Jeffreis and Joseph Supang; South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District staff and commissioners; and the par-

ents and guardians of Reign players.

“I will greatly miss these players and coaching this team,” he wrote. “You cannot spend 10-12 years coaching a

group of dedicated boys, and now young men, without feel-ing like they are members of your family.”

South Whidbey Reign includes: Bryce Auburn,

Anders Bergquist, Coel Cable, Max Cassee, Kai da Rosa, Kameron Donohoe, John Gibson, Justin Gonzales, Quinn Hassrick, Davin Kesler,

Lucas Leiberman, Jeffrey Meier, Tucker Middlebrook, Lochlan Roberts, Oliver Saunsaucie, Charley Stelling, Thomas Swanson and Andrew Zisette.

Tournament loss ends Reign soccer team’s 8-year run


On a recent Thursday morning, fourth-grade students in Rachel Kizer’s class at South Whidbey Elementary started their day with a math lesson. But rather than the hurried sound of pencils scratch-ing on paper, the classroom was filled with the tapping of keys.

Thanks to money awarded to the district through a tech levy, Kizer and fellow fourth- grade teachers Sue Raley, Kathy Stanley and Pam Muncey are able to allow students to do math quiz-zes and other assignments using Acer Chromebooks.

Kizer explained that this is especially helpful in indi-vidualizing lessons for stu-dents who are at different skill levels. Those who need to spend a little extra time on a certain subject are able to do so while those who have already grasped the topic can spend time doing other productive activities without distracting the rest of the class.

Fourth grader Katelynn Simmons demonstrated how to use XtraMath, an arithmetic program which allows students to take math quizzes in a format similar to an educational computer game. As questions popped onto the screen, Simmons rapidly answered each mul-tiplication, subtraction or addition problem within two seconds. She explained that she had previously set the timer to three seconds, but as she became more adept at answering, she was able

to speed up the timer to give herself more of a challenge.

XtraMath is much more fun than a paper quiz, Simmons said, and she is able to practice typing everyday.

“It’s a great opportu-nity for our class to have Chromebooks,” she said.

A handful of Kizer’s stu-dents were working on other activities, such as reading projects.

Ryder Mulcahy dem-

onstrated the use of Accelerated Reader, which he used to complete a read-ing comprehension assign-ment on the book, “The Lost Hero” by Rick Riordan.

“Technology is improving and I think it is important to learn this for the future,” he said.

Simmons said that, in third grade, she had had the use of computers in a lab and iPads. Teachers are required to book time in the computer lab, allowing each

class only a limited time on the computers each day.

In fourth grade, each stu-dent has his or her own Chromebook to use in the classroom.

The students received their Chromebooks when they returned from winter break in January.

Simone White dem-onstrated the use of the Chromebooks for yet anoth-er topic — vocabulary. Using Dictionary.com, White was able to look up words for her vocabulary packet, check-ing the definitions against her own inferences.

White said she also enjoys using the Chromebooks for creative writing, which is likely her favorite subject. Using Google Docs makes it easier for her to write and revise documents and share them with classmates and teachers, she said.

Richie Hinojos agreed, displaying a poem he had written in Google Docs after the Seahawks’ Super Bowl loss.

“One of the ways we decided to process our feel-ings was to write a poem about all the great things the Seahawks did during the season,” Kizer explained.

Hinojos said that, in addi-tion to the creativity and convenience of Google Docs, he enjoys other online features such as Scholastic News, which he called “one of the best parts of school.”

Kathy Stanley’s mixed-age third and fourth grade classroom was also busy working on Chromebooks for an array of projects.

As Emma Callahan researched her biography of Stephen Hawking, Maddox Smith and Jamey Ullman worked on creating simple computer games using code.

Smith, who has been creating the games “Worm Escape” and “Penalty Kick,” said that he imagines cod-ing will be very useful in the future, and it is a lot of fun.

“You use your creativity to make your own things,” he said. “You can make some-thing cool, whatever you want.”

Stanley noted that the teachers had just attend-

ed a course on Google Classroom, which she said she is enthused to begin using. Google Classroom is a platform which allows teachers to place and orga-nize assignments online for student use. Students can turn in digital assignments and ask questions remotely through the classroom if they are absent. Teachers can also use it to track grades in a fashion similar to a virtual grade book.

The Acer Chromebooks have 16 gigabyte drives and 11.6-inch screens. These computers retail at about $200 from Google.

Diana Lindsay holds a strong conviction that within each Whidbey woman lies a story waiting to be told.

Every year, Lindsay gathers with her Seriously Fun Productions cohorts Rene Neff, Lynn Willeford, Debora Valis, Shannon Arndt and Heather Racicot to provide a platform for remarkable Whidbey women

to share their unique tales. Each presenter of the

WOW! Stories conference speaks for 5-12 minutes, similar in structure to the popular TED Talks. Though hundreds of women are nominated, only a handful are selected.

“I think it’s harder to get into WOW! than it is to get into Harvard,” Lindsay joked.

This year, the conference will span two days and will

take place from 7-10 p.m. Friday, March 13 and from 11-2 p.m. Saturday, March 14. As in years past, the event has already sold out.

Presenters vary in age as they do in expertise and interests. Among this year’s group of speakers are art-ists, adventurers, professors, inventors, entrepreneurs, singers, musicians, students, a farmer, a restauranteur, a physical anthropologist, a storyteller, an ecologically conscious funeral director, a poet, a theologian, a body-worker and a Naval Criminal Investigative Service agent.

Friday will feature talks and performances by Sharon Betcher, Sharon Daloz Parks, Kathy Fox, Lucinda Herring, Annie Jesperson, Joanne Keefe, Deborah Koff-Chopin, Haley McConnaughey, Rainey, Shannon Stalpaert and Debora Valis.

Saturday’s event will feature Judith Adams, Sarah Boin, The Carolina Parrots, Julie Gersten, Marion Henny, Jill Johnson, Jenn Jurriaans, Hannah McConnaughey, Mary K. Sanford, Jean Shaw, Aleah Stacey and jazz musicians from South Whidbey High School.

Lucinda Herring, ordained minister, certified death midwife and licensed funeral director, will give a talk enti-

tled “Threshold Tales.” Herring said that, for her,

the opportunity has been empowering.

“I love that women can support each other to stand up and be brave,” she said. “It’s hard to be true to what you feel is important to do even though the rest of the world doesn’t recognize it.”

Herring works part-time as a director at Sacred Moment funeral home, a provider of natural, “green” funeral services. She also works as a home funeral and green burial consultant on Whidbey.

In a green funeral, natural techniques are employed such as the use of pine caskets or shrouds, and embalming is avoided when-ever possible.

A section of the Langley-Woodmen Cemetery is reserved for green burials.

Herring said she works to empower families to go through life’s thresholds as well-equipped as possible. This includes helping griev-ing individuals to bid farewell to the deceased in a more personal manner.

Tasks which are most often delegated to funeral homes may be taken care of at home if a family desires to do so.

“I never thought I would become a funeral director in my 60s, but I have seen how much healing, beauty and even joy happens when people creatively participate when someone dies, and not feel so powerless,” Herring

said. When not helping families

to handle the “last frontier,” Herring helps children and families to celebrate festivals and other landmark events, such as marriages and bap-tisms.

“For me, it is important to work with more natural ways of doing things, to take more time and intention when life brings us these different thresholds, these different passages, to work together with friends and community during these times of transi-tion,” Herring said.

Another WOW! speaker, Jill Johnson, has held six careers throughout her life. For the past 18 years, she has worked as a professional storyteller.

Johnson has received critical acclaim for her telling of the tales of two famous Whidbey women, Rebecca Ebey and Berta Olson, one of Coupeville’s first settlers and Puget Sound’s first female ferry boat captain, respectively. Johnson also shares her craft at festivals, workshops and schools.

“I realized, looking back through my working life and all of those careers, that I always was a storyteller and I just didn’t know it,” said Johnson.

Some of Johnson’s stories are personal, while others are fables, historical pieces or myths.

“I love the way a story well told can create a com-munity between people,” said Johnson. “It can be

temporary, but it can be very strong.”

Each tale, she said, holds a grain of truth, though it is up to the listener to find it.

“We think and breathe in story,” Johnson said. “The best way that information can be communicated from one person to the other, and the most historical way, the ancient way is through a story, narration.”

She added that storytell-ing is “narration with a pur-pose,” though the purpose is as varied as the storyteller and the circumstance in which the story is told. Stories can be told to expose corruption, to explore uni-versal truths or to delve into personal experiences.

“I used to think you had to do something exotic or excit-ing to be worthy of being part of a story, but I have learned over the years that is not true at all,” Johnson said. Whenever someone tells Johnson that their life is too boring for a story, she informs them that, although they don’t realize it, they are very wrong.

As a storyteller, Johnson said, it is very exciting to discover the powerful story within each individual.

For Lindsay, too, the most exciting part of the WOW! Stories conference is hearing the stories of fellow island residents.

“It’s a profound and invigo-rating process for all of the speakers and we love being witness to it,” Lindsay said.

oldest of the full-size buses is 17 years old.

“We have an aging fleet that needs to turn around quickly,” he said, “but that’s just not going to happen.”

Graska hypothesized that the fleet was allowed to age because the former manage-ment was focused on building the new facility on Highway 20. The federal dollars went towards the building instead of buses, he said.

“The operation grew too fast,” he said.

As a result, he said he and the board will be focused on creating a replacement sched-ule, though he said grants will likely continue to be the main

source of funds for purchas-ing new buses.

Graska said it’s a priority for the agency to continue the connector bus service into Skagit County from Whidbey Island, but he concedes that it’s likely to depend on the state. He said the agency may be able to eke out a “skeletal service” after state funding dries up, but he questions whether it would be useful to riders.

As it stands now, the route is scheduled to end this sum-mer.

Graska said he’s waiting to hear back from the fed-eral government as to wheth-er the agency will have to pay back grant funds used to fund three gazebos at the new facility and to purchase a landscaping tractor. The state

Auditor’s Office questioned whether it was an allowed use of federal grant dollars.

As for fares, Graska said Island Transit is “very rare” among transit agencies in not charging fares. He said the few other agencies across the nation that offer fare-free services receive outside sub-sidies. Chapel Hill, for exam-

ple, gets money from the University of North Carolina, he explained.

Still, Graska said the agen-cy will need to hold public meetings, do community out-reach and study the finan-cial implications before any change should be made.

“It’s definitely worthy of debate and discussion,” he

said, adding that figuring out the right level for the fare will also be a challenge.

As for advertising, he’s all for it and said that can be instituted much sooner. Not only can advertisements be

placed on buses, he said, but bus shelters have become popular places for ads.

“It can be a good source of funding,” he said, “but it depends on the market.”

In previous meetings, Sundberg and Gill sparred over the city’s authority to favor a business that pays property tax, such as exist-ing restaurants on First and Second streets. On Monday night, Sundberg said he was concerned with the precedent Langley may set by shutting business down during an event weekend.

After the 2-2 stalemate,

Allen’s motion failed to pass and the subject was again up for council discus-sion. Gill p r o p o s e d amending the rules to exclude food trucks from using the two ident i f ied spaces on First Street and Anthes Avenue and on Second Street just west of Anthes near the electric

vehicle charging stations. Gill’s motion passed 3-1.

Prior to the vote, council m e m b e r s said they were con-cerned with the price of the license, application fee and bid. L an g l ey ’ s r u l e s r e q u i r e

motorized food vendors to pay a $100 business license, $100 for the application fee,

and bid for use of one of the public spaces. Neff ques-tioned the cost of business for a food truck in Freeland, which is governed by Island County rules.

“I’m worried we’re pric-ing ourselves out of busi-ness,” Neff said.

Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio said the bids are a way to level the playing field for brick-and-mortar restau-rants.

A season has already been established as part

of the city’s ordinance. Food trucks can operate in Langley between May 21 and Sept. 8 on the belief that during the busier tour-ist season dining demand expands.

Langley’s food truck ordi-nance expires at the end of 2015, essentially making this a trial run and giving the city council time to con-sider whether to keep it in place or amend it further.

“We don’t turn anybody away that wants to be there,” Monforte said.

Monforte added that all age groups are welcome as well, though the night is usu-ally a bit shorter for infants than for 17 and 18 year olds. The younger crowd tends to retire earlier.

Attendance has steadily climbed throughout the years, peaking at about 275 last year.

“It’s a large cross-section of people that come,” Monforte said.

Dads or daughters with two left feet need not worry, she added, as it is really all about having fun and bonding. A DJ will provide an upbeat medley of tunes and the price of admission includes a raffle ticket, refreshments, a photo and a flower.

Richard Newman has been attending with his 14-year-old daughter, Carli, for about seven years.

Newman resides in Mukilteo while Carli lives in Langley with her mom.

But Newman said he makes bonding with his daughter a priority, both by teaching her to fly and through activities like the dad and daughter ball.

“I just think it is really neat,” Newman said of the dance. “It puts dads and daughters in a really good light.”

The media is awash with negative images of absen-tee or unfavorable dads, Newman said, and the ball is a good opportunity for families to reaffirm positive relationships.

Monforte noted that as girls progress into teenage years, it can become more difficult for them to maintain relationships with their par-ents. The dance is one activ-ity which can help girls and their male guardians to get to know one another better.

For the Lungrens and Newmans, the dance has become a tradition which has strengthened their relation-ship.

“I wish a lot more dads would sign up and bring their daughters with them,” Newman said. “I think they are missing the boat.”
