Hundreds of people turned out to enjoy the 20th annual Celebrate America event in Freeland Thursday, July 3, enjoying live music, a performance by Whidbey entertainer Marcus Raymond, food and family-fun activities, such as face painting and a bounce house. The evening concluded with a grand fireworks display over Holmes Harbor.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

The 20th annual Celebrate America, South Whidbey’s day-before-Independence-Day fireworks display, went out with a bang Thursday.

Twenty minutes of booms, sparkles and bombs-a-burst-ing lit up the cloudy sky over Holmes Harbor and enter-tained hundreds at Freeland Park. The seven-hour party, all put on by South Whidbey Assembly of God with dona-tions from dozens of people and businesses, saw scores wander through for food, bounce houses, face painting,

music and, of course, fireworks. Two decades after the first July 3 festival kicked off, it

was still drawing plenty of folks for the free fun.

Freeland sewers may top $9 millionBy JUSTIN BURNETT

South Whidbey Record

The price tag for sewers in Freeland’s commercial core could hit $9.4 million, and monthly bills for customers may be the highest on Whidbey Island, according to prelimi-nary cost estimates.

Gray & Osborne, Inc., a Seattle-based engineering company hired by the Freeland Water and Sewer District, recently presented a report to district commissioners that broke down cost

estimates for different scopes of the proposal, along with monthly charg-es that would fund maintenance and operation of a new sewer treatment facility. The report calculated a total project cost of between $8.7 and $9.4 million, and monthly use charges of $78 or $97.

The difference between the esti-mates are based on the possibility of the Main Street Sewer District merg-ing with its larger Freeland counter-part.

Hoping to pay for the bulk of the project with grant funding, Freeland district leaders said they were satis-fied with the estimates, and cited the monthly charges as fair.

“I feel it’s reasonable,” said Lou Malzone, president of the district’s board of commissioners.

The monthly charges, which are the base rate for a single equivalent residential unit [ERU] — about 6,000

A group of energetic Whidbey Camano Land Trust volunteers con-vened at the Hammons Preserve in Clinton last Friday to care for conifer trees that were planted this spring as part of a forest restoration project.

The trees were planted in a former

pasture and needed all the help they could get to grow strong and expand the forest cover at the Preserve for the benefit of birds and other wildlife, according to a news release from the Whidbey Camano Land Trust. The volunteers weeded and mulched the

trees with compost from the Langley Wastewater Treatment facility.

The Whidbey Camano Land Trust is continually searching for stewardship volunteers to help care for the land. For details, visit www.wclt.org/get-involved or email Ida at [email protected].

gallons a month — were also estimated on the high end, according to Andy Campbell, district manager. In other words, it’s very possible the cost would be significantly lower once the final numbers are hammered out.

“It’s a very conservative estimate, so it could be a lot less,” Campbell said.

Happy to pay a premium

As it stands now, however, the estimated user charges would be among the most expensive on Whidbey Island. A comparison by the South Whidbey Record found that $97 would top bills for the same amount of use — 6,000 gallons per month — in Langley [$61], Coupeville [$48] and Oak Harbor [$89]. Even the lower rung estimate of $78, the cost if the Freeland and Main Street districts merged, would exceed all but Oak Harbor’s rate.

Those monthly charges would pay only for regular maintenance and operation. An estimated 81 property owners in the commercial core would have to split what-ever is left over of the total project cost that isn’t paid for with grant money.

Despite the higher rates and a long-term construction bill, few have come forward to publicly condemn this lat-est machination for Freeland sewers. Many seem either supportive, or have yet to make up their minds.

Steve Myres, a commercial property owner on Harbor Avenue, said he’s always been in favor of sewers and that it’s a project decades overdue.

“I’ve been wanting sewers in this town for a very long time,” he said.

Myres said he is happy the current commissioners, two of whom — Malzone and Commissioner Marilynn Abrahamson — were ada-mantly against a 2010 $40 mil-lion version that would have sewered the greater Freeland area, have taken on what has been an unpopular and con-troversial infrastructure proj-ect in the past.

Myres added that paying a premium for monthly sewer service would be of little con-sequence when faced with more expensive alternatives.

“When you look at the cost of replacement [of a septic system], $100 a month is a non-starter,” Myres said.

Another Freeland com-mercial property owner, Jim Porter, is still on the fence. He said sewers could result in many positives for the area, such as improved water qual-ity and stirring economic development, and those can’t be ignored, but he’ll see little direct benefit. For him and many others, it’s going to come down to one thing — dollars and cents.

“The first thing is, what’s it going to cost,” Porter said.

Project funding options

Knowing how much sew-ers will cost individual prop-erty owners won’t be known for some time as it’s depen-dent on how much of the project is paid for with grants. The district has more than $3 million already squirreled away from a past grant, but it expires next year, which puts the project under a time crunch.

Myres complained that the district has already had to return over $5 million from earlier grants, and he wor-ries this will be lost too if the project doesn’t make the deadline.

According to Malzone, there’s still time and he also hopes to hit up Island County for an earlier promise to pro-vide $100,000 per year for the next 20 years. Combined with additional grant funding pos-sibilities, he’s hopeful only a small portion of the bill will be left for Freeland property owners to pick up.

Whatever that number is, the tab would be applied only to those within the commer-cial core boundaries, an area stretching from Windermere to the intersection of Main Street and Highway 525. It would not be split evenly, but would be based on the special benefit earned by individual property owners.

For example, some prop-erty owners might pay more because sewers would turn their drain fields into valuable commercial property that could be developed, while people such as Porter, who has a drain field so close to the highway that it can never be developed, might pay less.

That bill would be applied over a period of decades, and may be paid for through the creation of a local improve-ment district, or LID. They can be created by vote of the Freeland commissioners or by petition of affected land-owners. Malzone said he would only support the latter. He believes in the project, but this is a decision that must be made by those who will foot

the bill.“I can do it by law, but I ran

on a platform that I would not do that,” Malzone said.

“It’s up to the property owners,” he added.

More hurdles ahead?

That’s something of a matter of opinion, however, as county officials say state law may be less accommo-dating. In a June 18 letter to the water commission-ers, Brad Johnson, a senior planner with Island County Community Development, called the district’s plan “unacceptable.”

“... the proposed amend-ments do not prescribe a plan for achieving comprehensive, UGA [urban growth area] wide sewer service within a 20-year period; rather, the proposed amendments would break the proposed sewer plan into five phases and construct only the first phase

Freeland Water and Sewer District Commissioner Lou Malzone listens to funding options for sewers from a state official at a June district meeting.

Kids, fireworks cause grass fire

Summer time, children, grass and fireworks did not mix well Wednesday afternoon.

South Whidbey Fire/EMS was called out to Sunlight Beach Road after children accidentally

caught a 30-by-30-foot patch of dry grass on fire with fireworks.

“They thought it would be safe and sane,” said

Assistant Chief Paul Busch. “Luckily some people cut the grass down there.”

Busch did not know the type of firework used, but said that it was legal.

Despite not having any fireworks-related fires last year around Independence Day, Busch and the fire protection district were preparing for a busy period. Dry weather and occasional wind have dried out “flash fuels” like grass, making their ignition temperature lower. Add something like a firework, which can get up to 1,500 degrees, and it’s a quick fire.

“I believe this is going to be the first of many calls over the fourth of July weekend,” Busch said.

The children used glass-es of water to douse parts of the fire until neighbors were able to help extin-guish it. South Whidbey

Fire/EMS volunteers used the engine’s hose to spray the perimeter and put out any remaining embers. The children were allowed to hold the hose for a bit, Busch said.

City hosts Second Street party

Second Street will have a city celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony July 9, a bit less than a month after the road offi-

cially reopened. Langley spent $2.7 mil-

lion to redo the street and water lines under the roadway, a project that lasted from mid-January until early June. The rede-sign increased walking space on the sidewalks and crosswalks, and cre-ated a new crossing area called the plaza. Several planters and rain gardens were included along the city easement as well.

The official ribbon cutting will be at 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 9 and will include presenta-tions from Janet Ploof, president of the Langley Main Street Association, Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango and Mayor Fred McCarthy. There will also be a bar-becue courtesy of The Braeburn Cafe, Useless Bay Coffee Company, Callahan’s Firehouse, Sweet Mona’s and ice cream from the Langley Community Club. Trio Nouveau will perform as well.

The celebration will last from 4 to 7 p.m. in the plaza.

Voter forums held on Central Whidbey

The League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island will hold a primary elec-tion forum on Central Whidbey next week.

The event begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 10, in the Coupeville Recreation Hall, 901 NW Alexander St.

Participating will be candidates for Island County treasurer, and those seeking to fill Position 2 of the 10th Legislative District, cur-rently held by Dave Hayes, R-Camano. The candi-dates will answer ques-tions that were submitted in advance by league members and other inter-ested members of the general public.

Questions will be accepted by the league for consideration until July 7, and can be submitted via the group’s website, www.lwvwhidbey.org.

For details, email Marshall Goldberg at [email protected] or call him at 360-675-5888. The event is co-sponsored by the Sno-Isle Libraries and is open to the public.

Be more specific. That’s what members of

Langley’s Planning Advisory Board said to the city’s plan-ning director at a meeting Wednesday regarding rules and regulations for the demo-lition of historic buildings.

As the city’s draft standards exist now, buildings that are at least 50 years old would qualify as historic structures. But the exceptions and the steps a building owner would have to go through need refining, according to the four board members at the meeting.

The Langley City Council approved an emergency six-month ban on demolition of historic buildings after the owners of the Dog House Tavern, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, asked the city about the demolition process.

Now in the second month of the moratorium, the city is scrambling to come up with rules and regulations to keep a cornerstone building in its downtown core. Members of the city’s Historic Preservation Commission and the South Whidbey Historical Society were also at the meeting to speak on the historic component of the standards. Bob Waterman, one of the commission mem-bers and a member of the South Whidbey Historic

Society, said it was impor-tant to keep the Dog House standing.

“People who come to visit the town look in and ask, ‘When is it gonna open? Why isn’t it open?’ … It’s a very important part of Langley’s history,” he said.

The board also had con-cerns about what an owner would need to provide as evidence that renovating or restoring a historic structure was an “economic hardship.” As the language existed, board member Gail Fleming said it was “wishy-washy.”

“There’s certainly some gray areas in that,” said Jeff Arango, Langley’s director of Community Planning.

He cited that a simple equation of what a typical rent would bring in versus cost of restoration or reno-vation could be a guideline,

though the issue was not a matter of new construction or renovation being cheaper. The burden of proof would be on the property owners, not the city.

A l r e a d y written into this round of the draft was language to combat some-one letting a historic build-ing fall into disrepair. One of the provisions for allow-ing demolition was if a build-ing was found to have struc-tural integrity issues. Under the proposed new code, structures listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places or the Washington Heritage Register must be maintained. Langley’s building official is also granted authority to inspect historic properties periodically “to determine compliance.” Arango said that if a building was neglect-ed, the city could charge fees or, in extreme cases, claim eminent domain.

Langley’s planning office will work with the South Whidbey Historical Society to create a list of buildings

which will be covered under the definition of historic structure.

Lorie McNeill, a First Street property owner, asked

about the cost of the city-fund-ed survey and how much time would be added to the demo-lition per-

mit process if the new rules are approved.

“Building is expensive on Whidbey Island, on top of added time,” she said. “At what point are we pricing our-selves out of business?”

A rough estimate, Arango said, of the survey would be $2,000. He also said the demolition permit process could take two months, depending on how prepared the owner is to prove an his-toric building meets the city’s new criteria.

Trying to preserve the look and character of First Street, the Planning Advisory Board looked at building dimension rules. Should someone make it through the demolition checklist, they would also be asked to provide building

plans which would have to adhere to new requirements that would be in line with the existing appearance. The idea, Arango said, is to keep someone from buying sev-eral properties and buildings, demolishing them and erect-ing one massive structure.

One way the city hopes to determine its look is with setbacks of upper levels. Existing code requires a set-back of upper levels along the north side of the road down the bluff to Seawall Park, but lacks a set depth. Arango recommended a minimum of 5 feet per floor, a measure-ment he said was arbitrary

but allowed for a better look than cutting 10 feet into the building’s dimensions. He also said that a tradeoff could be made by setting back the ground floor farther from the seawall and combining set-backs.

The purpose of requiring the setbacks and a building width of 30 feet is to keep a building from encroach-ing on city property, as in the case of the Dog House Tavern’s stairs and deck, which is currently allowed by the city. Setbacks also will vary the waterside face of the buildings to keep it from looking like one sheer wall.

EndorsementSoup Kitchen in Langley is town’s best kept secretEditor,

Question for you: where do you go to find a healthful, delicious, afford-able lunch served Tuesday and Thursday from 12 to 1:30 p.m. in Langley? I have a suggestion and it’s The Soup Kitchen at the Island Church of Whidbey, located on the corner of Sixth Street and Cascade Avenue.

There you will find a wonderful, tasty lunch of soups, salads, breads, desserts and sometimes more, which is served by a dedicated, friendly, hardworking group of volunteers.

You get all this for only a donation. This best kept secret in Langley has been going on for over 11 years, and they never fail to deliver. I suspect it’s the best soup kitchen in the country.

Do yourself a favor and come out and meet this fabulous group of peo-ple, have a tasty lunch and please

leave a big donation; it will be put to use and you won’t be sorry.

Many heartfelt thanks to The Soup Kitchen staff of Langley — you are the best.

Kudos to you and your new report-er, Kate Daniel, for the wonderful article on the Whidbey Island Garden Tour. We are sure it helped make this year’s tour a resounding success with the highest attendance since 2008.

We also heartily thank the garden owners and 100 plus volunteers who created a delightful experience for all who attended. What a joy to be part of such an engaged community.

On behalf of the garden tour’s board and all of this year’s beneficiaries,

PENNY HARGER, president

ResponseGroup’s creditability continually weakenedEditor,

I see the president of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve is really trying to make a name for himself and his group of “concerned citizens.”

He followed around a Realtor whom he feels wronged him by proving him wrong by publishing something that a first-year lawyer would find if their lawsuit against the Navy ever reaches court.

COER’s credibility deteriorates every time this man and others in their organization open their mouth, which is just fine with me.

It will be interesting to see how Michael Monson tries to explain away this childish behavior.

Publisher’s column

It’s been two months since we launched the metered system on the South Whidbey Record website, and the initial results brought exciting news.

At least I find the news exciting.Not only are we adding new online-

only subscribers, we’re seeing growth in our print subscriptions as well.

Also encouraging is the relatively few complaints about the change. During the first few weeks after we adopted the new metered system,

there were a handful of people who experienced compatibility problems with their browsers and mobile devices, but we were able to resolve those issues quickly.

Only a few people complained that the website is no longer wide open. Just one person got insulting when, after his eight free articles ran out for June, he declared in an online com-ment that the newspaper was of no interest to him.

The irony in his comment wasn’t lost on me.I think many people see that the per-issue price of 43 cents

— with a subscription — is a pretty great deal for the money. Nowhere else can you find as much local news, opinions, sports, features and advertising gathered from your own backyard.

Over the past decade, the conventional wisdom was that everything on the Internet needed to be free, and newspa-pers around the world bought into that thinking. Online pub-lications began launching left and right. Most notably, Patch founders believed they would take over the media world.

A decade later, AOL’s Patch is but a pale shadow of its former self, its ambitious plan to take over a notable fail, and now online publications are creating print versions to build their readership.

So much for conventional wisdom.It’s every journalist’s hope that their work will, in some

way, make a difference in someone’s life. Information is power, and we aim to empower readers.

In informing and empowering readers, however, we want your newspaper to be entertaining as well. We are constantly looking at ways to introduce features that our readers want. To that end, please keep telling us what you what you’d like to see in your South Whidbey Record.

Last of all, thank you for being a reader of The Record. There’s not a day that goes by that I am not appreciative of the opportunity afforded me to lead this newspaper. With your help, I hope someday far down the road to leave this newspaper better and stronger than the day I arrived.

Gail Howland Roach

Gail Howland Roach passed away peacefully in Vacaville, Calif., on June 7, 2014, after suffering a stroke.

Gail was born on Nov. 3, 1939, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to parents Winslow Deane Howland and Marylyn Hayes Kemp.

Gail and her late husband, Bill, lived in El Cerrito, Calif., from 1973-2000, at which time they moved to Coupeville, where they resided until

2011. Gail gave so much of

Freeland man proves he’s more than ‘also ran’

Last month, Bill Brewer ran the longest race he’d competed in since he was a collegiate cross country runner.

The 65-year-old Freeland man recently finished in second place in his age division at the Seattle Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon, June 21, more than four decades since his last competition. Brewer finished the 13.1-mile half marathon in 1:53.39, almost seven min-utes ahead of the second 65-to-69-year-old man. In the age division, there were 56 men.

As a college student, Brewer ran cross coun-try at Oregon State University, where he described himself as an “also ran,” a runner who does not normally place in the top 10 or vie for medals.

“I have not run a race in 46 years, so it was very invigorating for me,” he said.

One thing that sepa-rates Brewer from the competition is that he has type 1 diabetes and is insulin dependent. But he has not let his medical condition define or limit who he is as a husband and father who works as a radiology technician at Swedish Hospital in Edmonds.

“I don’t think of it as a disability,” he said.

In fact, Brewer said, run-ning has been an asset to him as he manages the condition. He runs between 15 and 20 miles each week, often around his home of nearly nine years near Holmes Harbor Golf Course.

Still, with his competi-tive nature, Brewer said he looked up past results of men his age to get an idea of their times. It was encouraging for him to see he could be a top

Two three-hour clinics offered


A couple of times a week for the past few months, a handful of swim-mers identifiable only by their bob-bing colorful caps, have taken to Goss Lake and Saratoga Passage off Langley.

Then, the thrashing would start. At first, they move as one group, foam-ing the water’s surface in a grand loop with bright orange floats bobbing off their backs. Then, they space out with the faster swimmers taking off and the slower ones lagging behind.

Even a veteran swimmer like Krista Loercher, who has taken to Saratoga Passage’s chilly waters for a few years, finds the first embrace of its dark blue surface jarring.

Yet she keeps coming back, and now there’s a sizable following of people who set up open water swim times off Seawall Park. And, in an effort to grow in numbers, the group is throwing two open water swim clin-ics next week.

Loercher is not alone in bracing for the cold rush.

“Even three years ago, I’d hyper-ventilate when I thought about the swim,” said Danielle Rideout, a mem-ber of the South Whidbey Island Masters, a group of U.S. Masters Swimming certified swimmers.

They are offering one-day, three-hour clinics July 12-13. The first is at Seawall Park in Langley, and is designed for more experienced open water swimmers, ideally, said organiz-ers, for people who have competed in an open water race or taken another open water class. The July 13 clinic is at Goss Lake, a warmer body of water, that organizers said is a “great intro-duction” to open water swimming.

Neither of the clinics are for first-time swimmers. Out in Saratoga Passage, there’s a current to contend with, as well as the cold temperature.

Swimmers also need to be vigilant of boats, sea life, and each other — all things that could overwhelm the inex-perienced doggie-paddler.

As for the eerie feeling that there are creatures in the water with you,

Rideout said that’s still something she considers when she’s out there.

“This is the first year I’m getting over it,” she said, adding that seeing a jellyfish underwater is a treat, but feeling the slick touch of eelgrass is most unwelcome.

Safety is the name of the game when it comes to the South Whidbey Island Masters. They attach the bright orange floats, go out in groups, wear a wetsuit, and plan around tides and currents when they hit the beach. All of those factors, combined with the group’s track record running the Adventure Swim in fall for the past few years, had South Whidbey Fire/EMS Assistant Chief Paul Busch giv-ing his approval to the group’s ses-sions and clinic.

“They take extreme care and caution on what they do and how

Whidbey Children’s Theater will conclude its “Season of Happily Ever After” with an original adaptation of the classic European tale, “Puss in Boots.”

Community members are invited to join in the fun of a swashbuckling voyage, complete with magic, adven-ture and sword-fighting, as a penniless boy (played by Sarah Rodden) and his extraordinary feline friend (played by Miranda Cassee) venture to defeat enemies and win the heart of a princess (played by Libby

Hawkins). “Puss in Boots” is a fam-

ily friendly production star-ring children in second to eighth grades.

The show will run at the theater on Camano Avenue at 7:30 p.m. July 5 and 11 and at 2 p.m. July 6, 12 and 13. Tickets cost $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and $8 for students.

p.m. for which all seats will cost $8.

finisher, based on his mile split times at home. A bit of sour news awaited him after the race.

Someone had stolen his insulin bag and some other belongings as he ran around Seattle. That did little to dampen his mood after crossing the finish line, how-ever.

“It was really gratifying when I got to the finish line, I heard this loudspeaker say, ‘Here comes Bill Brewer from Freeland, and he’s 65,’ “ he said. “That was a spe-cial moment I’ll always remember.”

they do it,” said Busch, whose agency has worked at the Adventure Swim each year as a precaution.

Rideout and others said they hit Saratoga and Goss Lake instead of a pool because of the very nature of open water swimming. It’s open. There are no lanes

in Puget Sound. And when they’re out there, they find peace and tranquility akin to a runner’s high. It’s just them, their breathing, and the water.

“There’s something really calming and meditative about it,” Rideout said. “Once you get over the fear.”

Plenty of sass in WCT’s finale, ‘Puss in Boots’

By KATE DANIELSouth Whidbey Record

When Elizabeth Guss first arrived on Whidbey Island, she felt that she was home.

Her affinity with the island never waned and Guss, along with friends Janice O’Mahony and Mary Richardson, has worked to preserve its natu-ral treasures. Most recently the trio joined creative forces to pen a new book entitled “Whidbey Island: Reflections on People and the Land.”

In the book, the co-authors discuss the colorful history of various habitats and inhab-itants of Whidbey from its Native American tribes and early pioneers to the current residents’ devotion to protect-ing the island’s luscious land-scape and vibrant culture. O’Mahony discussed Lagoon Point, South Whidbey State Park, Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, Bayview and Greenbank Farm while Richardson addressed Three Sisters Farm, Double Bluff, Baby Island, Whidbey Institute and Maxwelton Valley. As for Guss, she wrote about Saratoga Woods, Deception Pass Park and Bridge, Dugualla Bay and Trillium.

Proceeds from the book will be donated to the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, a natural preservation organization. Guss has been the trust’s director of devel-

opment since 2007.“I wrote it in a way that I

hope people understood how much I love Whidbey Island and what it means to me. I found that people really felt much as I did: they treasure it, they want to protect it. They want to share it, but at the same time they don’t want that sharing to cause the things that makes it so wonderful for all of us to be destroyed or disrupted in any way,” said Richardson in an interview with Don

Porter, former news anchor for King 5.

The book was published by History Press and has received acclaim from individuals such as Estella Leopold, botanist, paleontolo-gist, naturalist and profes-sor emeritus of biology at University of Washington; Christine Gregoire, former Washington State governor; and Dyanne Sheldon, a res-toration ecologist.

Of the writing and co-authoring process, Richardson explained, “Elizabeth, who was initially contacted by History Press, graciously invited Janice and I to join her. We had already formed a strong friendship through interest in writing,

and many other things. Ours was a collaborative process, based on our mutual desire to learn and share.”

Working with Richardson and Guss was “a constant joy,” said O’Mahony, adding that each contributed equally in her own way.

“Elizabeth had the idea this was an important book to write. Mary had endless encouragement: ‘This will be interesting… we’ll learn so much.’ And I got to learn how to overcome the terror of the blank page and blink-ing cursor,” she said.

The authors’ dedication to the land expands beyond their literary work. For O’Mahony, this means finan-cially supporting environ-

mental preservation efforts and being a “determined recycler.”

“I pick up trash every-where I go,” said O’Mahony. “I collect peoples’ plastic water bottles at meetings, usually letting them finish drinking first but not always.”

Richardson is also a mem-

ber of the Whidbey Camano Land Trust and volunteers for several organizations such as Hearts and Hammers.

Richardson’s fondest memory of Whidbey is one she has the pleasure of expe-riencing repeatedly.

“Arriving on Whidbey, every time, having spent 20 minutes decompressing on the ferry crossing from ‘America’ as we call it, after hurrying to catch the boat. The island comes into view and the boat pulls into the dock at Clinton, the water glistens, seagulls fly around looking for that morsel to appear, and as you drive off the boat and onto the serenity of the Island, your heart soars, you take a deep breath, and you are home,” she said.

Much like Guss and Richardson, O’Mahony shares the sentiment that Whidbey is more than just a pleasant travel destination or place of residence.

“I love Whidbey Island,” she said. “It’s my home, my true home, having grown up as an Air Force brat and lived all over the world.”

Guss said that the signifi-cance of the book launch is more than just a personal success for herself and her co-authors. It’s important because of its ability to bring discussion of land conser-vation to the forefront of Whidbey residents’ minds.

“What I think is at stake is really the quality of life that is here on Whidbey Island and I’m not sure most people are aware of the significance of the impact that we have on the entire environment here.”

There will be a book launch party from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, July 10 at the Bayview Cash Store.

“It’s nice,” said Andy Mattern, who was at the park with his wife and daughter. “I don’t have to get up in the morning after the fireworks show.”

Matt Chambers, the pastor at South Whidbey Assembly, said the festival was originally launched the day before Independence Day because most fire-works barges and compa-nies were booked for July 4. Plus, there used to be a discount, but that no longer applies to one of Whidbey Island’s biggest annual

gatherings. “It gives everybody a

jump start on the fire-works,” Chambers said from a stage in between one of four acts.

Plenty of on-stage entertainment kept people engaged leading up to the aerial attraction. Heartgraves, a four-piece band of young musicians, performed original melo-dies. They were followed by the jazz performance of the South Whidbey Blues Combo. Sophia Duccini

sang heartfelt tunes backed only by her keyboard.

The showstopper was entertainer Marcus Raymond, a Whidbey Island resident who juggles, swallows burn-ing torches and tells lots and lots of jokes. He had the entire seated area around the stage full and enthralled as he juggled cups, hats and swallowed a lit torch, intermingled with crowd-engaging humor.

“Sir, this isn’t television,” he said to one man during the performance when he asked people to hold up their hands in preparation of clapping. “I can see if you don’t do it.”

Earlier in the day, there seemed to be fewer people than in years past who had staked out a spot on the hill, beach or lawns. But as the night wore on, more arrived to fill every decent viewpoint.

There were enough spectators, many of whom were children with their parents, siblings, friends, or guardians, to keep the bounce houses filled and the face paint line long.

“Since 3:40 [p.m.], we have not stopped,” said Brenda Chittim, the super-visor of the 12 face paint

volunteers. “It kept at least five people busy.”

Marco’s Grill, one of a handful of dining tents set up - far fewer than last year - felt the rush most of the night. Grilling tandem Mark and Nathan Brinkman, father and son, kept the burgers flipping and hot dogs rotating on the grill. Mark Brinkman

estimated they would go through most of their 480 burgers and 280 hot dogs by the night’s end.

“It’s a lot busier than last year,” he said.

The night concluded with a flurry of fireworks, followed by a raucous applause from spectators across Holmes Harbor.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) 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.

Try

over a 20-year period,” Johnson wrote. “This phasing plan is unac-ceptable.”

The Freeland water district already has a sewer plan in place, adopted in 2005. It was amended in 2010 — the $40 million plan — and district commissioners hope now to amend that proposal again detailing the construction of sewers in just the commercial core.

Johnson and department Director David Wechner maintain that such a modification leaves out residential areas that the Growth Management Act of 1990, landmark legislation

that guides modern development, say must be included.

“So when do these happen,” said Wechner, of nearby residential areas. “That’s the question.”

“The problem is one of timing,” he added.

But Malzone interprets the act dif-ferently, saying it doesn’t require the

commissioners to take action, only make plans. The district must have a written document outlining a way to build sewers, but it doesn’t have to force anyone to pay for it.

“We’re required to plan for growth and that’s what we’re doing,” Malzone said.

engineer Eric Nutting said the dis-trict and county can “sit around and wink at each other and say, ‘We’ll do it all in 20 years,’ ” but this proposal is a realistic way of taking the first step, which is the most difficult.

“What we need to do is start; that’s the hardest part,” Nutting said.

Johnson said the state’s rules exist for a reason, and that’s to ensure adequate services and infra-structure are in place to support developed areas.

“It would all be pretty absurd if it were just about creating plans,” Johnson said.

County officials contend that despite the water district’s autono-my, the Freeland urban growth area is part of rural Island County, which makes the county ultimately respon-sible for appropriate growth.

“We’re the ones who get the enforcement order,” Wechner said.

The department has other con-cerns about the proposals mesh-ing with existing long-range county planning documents, such as the comprehensive plan and Freeland sub-area plan. They all need to be consistent. Finally, planners have technical concerns about the dis-trict’s plans to site a treatment plant on the same property that’s home to the district’s primary wells on the south side of Highway 525, across from Harbor Avenue. Wechner and Johnson said discharge plans for the property have yet to be made clear to the planning department.

Despite the county’s numerous concerns, Wechner, Johnson and district leaders are all hopeful the issues can be resolved through collaborative discussion. A private meeting between the parties, includ-ing Gray & Osborn engineers, has been set for next week.
