Despite being the shortest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century, Langley resident Johnny Palka got this awe-some image of the event from the Highlands at around 4:15 a.m. Saturday, April 4. According to news reports, the eclipse was visible across the Pacific and parts of North and South America. A total eclipse is where the earth passes between the moon and the sun, but the moon doesn’t go completely dark. The red color is from the sun’s rays through the Earth’s atmosphere. A blood moon is rarer, happening only about two times a year and only when the moon is full and the three celestial bodies line up perfectly so the planet’s shadow covers the moon completely.

Ledgewood homeowners sueBy JESSIE STENSLAND

South Whidbey Record

Residents of a Central Whidbey neighborhood struck by a massive landslide two years ago have filed law-suits against Island County.

The residents are claiming that the county was negligent and contributed to the event. They also say the county failed to properly maintain a public road.

Seattle attorney Karen Willie filed two lawsuits against the county in connection with the March 27, 2013 landslide at Ledgewood, south of Coupeville.

The two lawsuits were filed in both the Snohomish County and Island County superior courts last month; Willie said she wants the case to be heard in Snohomish County while Island County’s attorney said he will

likely argue to have it in Island County, though he hasn’t made a final deter-mination.

The lawsuits ask for unspecified damages and court orders forcing the county to own and maintain two roads that provide access to homes close to the landslide area.

Willie, who said she’s known affec-tionately as “the water witch,” special-izes in both bringing lawsuits and defending against lawsuits involving damage caused by landslides. She said her firm is representing six families struck by the Oso landslide, including three that lost loved ones.

The lawsuits alleges fault against county officials for not dealing with drainage issues properly in the well-known landslide area, but also asserts that county workers did nothing after seeing dirt and trees fall from the bluff

— allegedly “the start of the slide” — the day before the massive slide occurred.

“The Island County workers fled without notifying the residents,” the lawsuit states, “and took no steps thereafter to alert the residents of Bon Air and Ledgewood of the potential hazards.”

Mark Johnsen, a Seattle attorney representing Island county, said the county denies liability for causing the landslide.

“We don’t believe the landslide was caused by anything the county did,” he said.

“We don’t see any indication it was caused by surface water from county roads. It was primarily a groundwater event,” he added.

Food truck bids leave Langley hungry for vendorsBy BEN WATANABE

South Whidbey Record

The right recipe for entic-ing food trucks into town has eluded Langley.

Just over a month after approving the city’s first-ever request for proposals to see what food truck vendors would offer to set up in one of two public spaces, the city’s community planning director recommended a change of course at Monday’s city coun-cil meeting. So far, Langley has yet to see any applica-tions for a mobile food vendor license.

“To my great disap-pointment, we didn’t get a single response,” Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio said to the council Monday.

Langley crafted the rules and permit process in hopes of creating an environment to foster new business. The idea, Mayor Fred McCarthy said in a phone interview Monday, was to provide other places for visitors to eat during the busy tourist season between Memorial Day and Labor Day, late May to early September. As input was shared in the ordinance creation, however, the city council heeded the direction of businesses (via the Langley Main Street Association) and set seasonal limits and an exclusion during Choochokam Arts Festival in July.

Chris Vulk, a chef who plans to open a food truck, said he had not applied because he doesn’t have a truck yet.

“[Like] most other people I feel like the ordinance was written to favor the other brick-and-mortar businesses, since they probably feel like a food truck will be pretty big

Winery debate ferments into complaint

By JANIS REIDSouth Whidbey Record

A new community group is trying to combat proposed regulations that would allow large events at wineries, functions they say disrupt their quality of life.

And they are not happy with the commissioner who championed it.

Neighbors Interested in Commonsense Economics, or NICE, have charged Commissioner Helen Price Johnson with trying to push through ordinance changes last month without proper public input because of a personal connection with the winery Comforts of Whidbey.

Price Johnson said Friday that while she’s known the Comforts for years, she did not press for the changes for them alone.

“I can’t figure it out… they’re old friends?” said Maro Walsh, a spokes-person for NICE which comprises 20 or so resi-dents around Comforts of Whidbey. “She keeps saying, ‘My community wants this.’ Only one winery wants this. Why is she pushing it so much when it’s the only win-ery that wants it?”

Allowing rural event centers to have large-scale events and weddings has drawn the ire of neighbor-ing residents over the years because of the noise and traffic. As a quick fix, commissioners approved a temporary rural event cen-ter permit to allow time to address the issue within the larger comprehensive plan update due in 2016.

At a work session last month, Price Johnson

Helping Hand of South Whidbey is inviting South End residents to enjoy a salm-on feast while helping their neighbors in need.

The non-profit organiza-tion, located in the annex of Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland, will host its first salmon dinner from 5-7 p.m. on April 17 at the Langley United Methodist Church.

The meal costs $15 for adults and $8 for children under age 12, and will include supplementary dishes such as coleslaw, baked potatoes, garlic bread and dessert as well as coffee and tea.

Pat McDaniel, who volun-teers at Helping Hand weekly, formulated the plan for the dinner and purchased the salmon.

A handful of businesses and churches including The Goose, Freeland Cafe, Trinity Lutheran Church and St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods donated food and dinnerware for the event.

All proceeds go towards Helping Hand’s housing assistance program.

The organization, which formed on South Whidbey approximately 33 years ago, provided $19,902 in grants to residents for help with rent and mortgage payments in 2014.

In the first financial quarter of 2015, Helping Hand has spent $18,002 in assisting 253 South End residents, 66 of whom are children, with various expenses including housing, utilities and car pay-ments.

Rosemary Martin, execu-

tive director, said the all-vol-unteer organization hopes to raise at least $2,500 during the dinner.

Martin noted that the majority of their funds go towards assistance with hous-ing payments, though utilities assistance is a close second.

The organization grants a maximum of $400 a month to each individual for housing assistance.

In addition to assistance with bills, Helping Hand takes hundreds of calls and acts as

a referral agency for individu-als who require help from care providers or social ser-vice agencies. The organiza-tion’s “total communications” for 2014 were 1,766, which includes walk-ins and phone calls as well as referrals.

Martin noted that the name of the organization is true to its purpose. She and other volunteers help neighbors, acquaintances and friends with a hand towards a more stable future.

“I’m making a difference in

my own community,” Martin said.

Arts commission seeks new spots

The Langley Arts Commission is looking to expand its public art pres-ence.

Chairman Frank Rose presented a proposal to the city council Monday that the citizen board would like to add public art to a planter in front of the post office on Second Street.

“Right now, it’s full of shrubs and it’s a great place for a work of art,” Rose said.

City leaders questioned if the planter was technically part of the property leased to the United States Postal Service, or if the area was part of the right of way. Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio said he would look into the rights of way established from the recent Second Street redesign to deter-mine how the city can

proceed with altering the 9-by-13 foot rectangle.

Councilman Thomas Gill said he wanted to make sure that the traffic view entering and exiting the post office parking lot would not be obstructed by any future changes.

Lundahls, Esterly honored with pins

Three people crucial to Langley’s business com-munity were honored by Mayor Fred McCarthy with his signature pin system Monday, during the coun-cil’s regular meeting.

Fred Lundahl, owner of Music for the Eyes and a chamber of com-merce and Main Street Association board mem-ber, was presented with pin 37, representing the Mayor’s Excellence Award. McCarthy said the award was merited because of Lundahl’s involvement in a handful of activities and groups in Langley, which

also includes the Second Street Market and Langley Whale Center.

Like golden stars passed out to students, the former school district superinten-dent turned mayor began a recognition system using pins after taking office in 2013.

Sharon Lundahl, Fred’s wife, also received a cer-tificate for her pin issued in 2014. She had earlier received pin 7 for photog-

raphy and social media skills used to promote Langley.

Marc Esterly, the recently retired Langley Chamber of Commerce executive director, received pin 38. He served as the cham-ber’s director from 2011 until he retired earlier this

year.

New hoops court needs anchoring

The recently installed basketball court at Community Park has been shifting and is expected to be put back into place and anchored this week.

Doug Coutts, parks director, said parks staff realized that the court had begun to physically move due to uneven ground about a week after its installation.

Coutts noted that the

court is made of a plastic tile material. Installers had thought the ground to be flat enough, Coutts said, but were mistaken.

Coutts said they began communicating with Snap Sports shortly after, but the repair was delayed due to trouble getting in touch with Snap Sports’ sub-contractor.

The court was donated by the Rotary Club of South Whidbey, which pledged $15,000 to build the facility. The commu-nity donated $16,500 and Rotary International added $4,200. The total cost was $37,720.

The repair is covered under warranty and is not expected to cost the dis-trict any additional money.

Coutts noted that the shift is relatively minor, only about a foot or a foot and a half to the southwest. But, he said, it requires repair so that it doesn’t continue.

The contractor is expect-ed to begin work this week, either Wednesday or Thursday. The repair will be complete in time for the park’s busy summer season, Coutts said.

Apple corrects mapping errors

It’s fixed.Apple Inc.’s mobile map

program errors that for years listed both Whidbey Island and Langley as being located on Hat Island are a thing of the past. The tech giant prom-ised last month to correct the listings by the end of April and made good on its promise late last week.

“It’s wonderful to have it fixed,” wrote Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, in a recent email to The Record.

The Island County commissioners were instrumental in address-ing the longstanding errors. Following a series of stories published in The Record highlighting community concerns, the board agreed to send Apple a letter petitioning for a fix.

The errors were on Apple Maps, a navigational program that comes built-in on mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads and lap-top computers.

Despite years of com-plaints from residents, the problem persisted until the county sent its letter to CEO Tim Cook.

Grange recognizes new FFA group, honors Fair worker

A new chapter of the National FFA Organization at South Whidbey High School will make its first public appear-ance at a Deer Lagoon Grange open house this weekend.

The event is at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 12, at the grange, 5142 Bayview Road near Langley. Refreshments will be served.

The FFA was founded in 1925 and was known as the Future Farmers of America. The South Whidbey chapter was char-tered in November 2014 and is one of the newest in the state, according to a

recent news release.Karen Bishop, manager of the

Whidbey Island Conservation District, will make a presentation about the dis-trict’s partnership with the agricultural community.

Deer Lagoon will also be making a special “Citizen of the Year” presenta-tion to Sandey Brandon. She came to Whidbey in 1991 with a skill set making her ready for the most challenging of tasks, the news release said. She has been intensely involved in the Island County Fair as a vendor, volunteer, Fair Association member and officer. Most recently she served as fair manager.

Island County leaders are trying to dissuade Skagit County from dumping them from a regional transporta-tion planning board.

“In a perfect world for Skagit, they would just say, you guys are out of the pic-ture and we don’t have to work with you anymore,” said Island County Transportation Planner Doug Cox, at a work session in Coupeville this past week.

“They could do that, they might do that,” responded Commissioner Helen Price Johnson.

“Let’s not go there,” Cox said. “Let’s offer something, a workable compromise, that works for us and works for them as well.”

Elected officials from both counties are discussing the future of the Skagit-Island Regional Transportation Planning Organization, or SIRTPO. Formed as part of the 1990 Growth Management Act, they devel-op and maintain a six-year transportation improvement plan, create correlating policy and use their regional influ-ence to apply for state and federal funding and grants.

It’s different from the Island Sub-Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO), which

serves as a mutual forum to identify, discuss, study and bring into focus sub-regional transportation challenges and opportunities, according to the county’s website.

Skagit County’s Council of Governments is expected to meet in the coming weeks to discuss their options. Skagit may choose to boot Island County from the SIRTPO or individual cities, like Mount Vernon, may simply opt to leave the organization, com-missioners said.

The Island County com-missioners agreed during a work session last week to write a letter expressing their desire to continue working together as a region with Skagit County. A special meeting of the county’s trans-portation subcommittee was called with plans to draft and send a similar letter.

That meeting is 1:30 p.m. Thursday, April 23 at the Sno-Isle Library in Oak Harbor.

Price Johnson said all sub-committee members, includ-ing various Island County city mayors and council mem-bers, are encouraged to draft and send their own letters as well.

“We’ll just over-communi-cate,” Price Johnson said.

“Jurisdictions (in Skagit County) are not happy with the current situation” with the regional planning organi-

zation, Public Works Director Bill Oakes said.

Specifically, Mount Vernon and Burlington “expressed discontent,” he said.

Skagit County leaders have criticized the structure of the SIRTPO and its two subcom-mittees for being redundant and holding up funding for local projects.

“As long as we keep our current structure that’s going to continue to be a sore spot,” Cox said.

Dissolving SIRTPO com-pletely may have weighty implications for Island County, which would lose some of the “voice” it cur-rently enjoys with Olympia lawmakers as a regional orga-nization. In addition, Island County could potentially lose long-term access to state Transportation Alternatives Program, or TAP, funds.

“A couple things are gained … you can speak with a stron-ger voice to state agencies as a larger organization,” Oakes said.

There is “a potential to offer different governing structures that might be acceptable to the other par-ties,” Oakes said.

Cox said Skagit County could create a Regional Transportation Commission similar to the one based in Vancouver, Wash. Under that model, surrounding

rural counties are allowed to become a part of the RTC.

Island County commission-ers expressed concerns that the county’s role would be diminished.

“That’s not a collaborative relationship, it’s a stacked relationship,” Commissioner Jill Johnson said. “We need to have a dialog that’s balanced and that means balance in representation.”

Johnson said she believes some Skagit County leaders are being short-sighted in not considering the number of Island County residents who rely on off-island resources for things such as chemical dependency services, veteran benefits and mental health services.

“They’re not understanding the utilizers of their services,” Johnson said. “It shows the difference between commis-sioners who sit on regional boards and mayors that sit on city-specific boards.”

“I think that that’s one of those areas we need to work on education … they are not an island unto themselves.”

The current SIRTPO model works because it de-

politicizes regional planning decisions by allowing the neighboring county to weigh in, Johnson said.

“There’s more cities over there and they’re horse trad-ing … at the expense of the population as a whole,”

Johnson said. Commissioner Rick

Hannold said he sees “the value of staying together just simply for the power we get at higher levels of government.”

“I’d like to see the conver-sation continue.”

Commissioners try to avoid split with Skagit County

ResponseDistrict parents are not to blameEditor,

Some important ques-tions that require answers from the South Whidbey School Board:

Why is the highest paid employee in the district (the superintendent) the desig-nated public records officer (PRO), especially when she claims she has better things to do?

The superintendent indi-cated she had “delegated” a staff person to spend up to two hours per day to fill pub-lic records requests. Yet of the few requests that were actually tracked, the time was at the superintendent’s hourly rate. Why?

The board and superin-tendent claim they are prop-erly trained in the state’s Open Public Records Act after watching a 45-minute video last July. The state holds free seminars every month with full training in public records requests, and the Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) provides free legal advice. Instead, the superintendent as the district’s records officer used the expensive district attorney.

When parents submit-ted requests for student records, Dr. Jo Moccia should have known that those are never treated as public records - they fall under the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy ACT (FERPA). Yet she published the parent names and the specific types of student records requested, violating student privacy rights. Adding insult to injury — she blames the parents for not knowing the laws — the laws that as the

PRO she is required to fol-low. Why?

The district claims legal costs of $400,000 or $500,000 and implies that is largely due to public records requests, yet by their own admission they didn’t even start tracking costs until late 2014. Furthermore, contrary to the district’s implication, Mr. Eric Hood is not the only person with which the district has been engaged in litigation with during the last five years. What is the breakdown of the legal costs?

If the district truly valued transparency, they would answer these questions and produce documenta-tion to support their claim that the $400,000-$500,000 was largely due to filling records requests. Adding in the costs of using the costly attorney to find out if records could be released when the MRSC and the state provide that informa-tion for free is dishonest, and blaming parents for the superintendent’s lack of knowledge is shameful.

Suspect story had its place, value Editor,

I disagree with the let-ter from Elijah Moore

about “Bank heist suspect looks for love from behind bars” being in bad taste. As with any other place in the world, South Whidbey Island has admirable people and bad, dangerous people. Sometimes foolish young people are attracted to the charisma of bad people and eventually become victims of domestic abuse. An article such as the one in question may dissuade some innocent and immature person from becoming a victim of domes-tic abuse.

Politicians, free money, mix wellEditor,

Regarding the funicular, has anyone ever met a poli-tician who passed up “free money?”

‘Carmina Burana’ was truly a thrillEditor,

I want to say how much I was impressed by the con-cert given Sunday, March 22 by the Saratoga Orchestra and the Massed Choir of Whidbey Island. “Carmina Burana” was truly a thrill.

An important factor was the inclusion of so many young people both in the cho-

rus and the orchestra. There is a special excitement when students are discovering and playing a masterpiece for the first time. I could see it in the faces of the young sing-ers who were completely engaged in the music. This engagement added some electricity that one does not always find even in top pro-fessional orchestras. For me it was a deeply emotional experience.

I thought the conductor, Anna Edwards, did a superb job pulling it all together. She and the vocal coaches obvi-ously taught the chorus well. I was struck by the clarity of Anna’s stick technique and the thorough preparation that made it all work.

The soloists were excel-lent. I was particularly happy with Karl Olsen. He is not only a fine singer but a good actor as well. My wife remarked that he could actually pronounce all those Latin words. His “Ego sum abbas” and the love song “Dies, nox et omnia” were a delight. It was also a thrill to hear Lisa Beritella belt out that high D! Voltaire Verzosa showed remarkable virtuos-ity as the roasting swan. I have never heard the role sung with such emotion.

All in all, it was a concert I will remember for a long time.

Letter writers must stand behind names

Editorial

As one letter writer recently noted, it seems all we hear about in Langley these days concerns the proposed bluff/marina conveyance. Funicular this, funicular that, funicular, funicular, funicular. This single topic has utterly dominated The Record’s Opinion Pages for months, and with a healthy backlog of letters awaiting publication, there’s no end in sight.

Clearly people care desperately about this issue, and the newspaper is committed to providing a platform where members of the public can freely express their views. Recent scuttlebut in Langley, however, has made it equally clear that some explanation and reminders about our letters policies and requirements are in order.

First and foremost, if you want to express an opinion in the paper the price tag for admission is your name and where you live. No exceptions.

For most that’s hardly news; The Record has had this policy for decades and it’s one shared by newspapers everywhere. Unfortunately, rumors are swirling that at least two recent let-ter writers submitted under fake names. We’ve done a bit of digging and while we can’t positively confirm the “suspects” are really who they say they are, we can’t prove they are not either.

One woman recently left a voice message at the paper expressing her outrage that we would allow such a travesty to occur. “That’s just wrong, it’s just wrong,” she said.

Indeed. To those who have mustered up the courage to stand behind their convictions and risk having to defend their positions before friends and neighbors at the grocery store or post office, it is undeniably unfair.

There may be many reasons to desire anonymity, but in our view they don’t outweigh a civil and honest discussion, which simple identification can provide. No doubt this highly effective tool was why this policy was enacted so many years ago. Certainly everyone remembers the rowdy, even vicious, debates that took place online a few years ago before The Record adopted an alternative commenting engine that requires personal identification — it was the Wild West.

All that said, we’re only willing to go so far. While it’s not our intention to give any letter writers a free pass, our verifica-tion system is less than perfect. It’s really more of an honor system. Writers must provide basic information such as an address, telephone number, etc. From there we call and ask the person if they are who they say they are.

Obviously this is hardly immune from fraud, but what’s the alternative? Demanding a photo copy of a driver’s license? A birth certificate? Finger prints and DNA samples?

Nope, not at The Record. We’re a newspaper, not an audi-tor’s office. The Opinion Page exists to facilitate free discus-sion. We care about fairness, but we won’t adopt extreme measures because a few people may have broken the rules.

What we can do is appeal to all letter writers to respect both the sanctity of the Opinion Page and your fellows by standing behind your convictions with your name — your real name.

South Whidbey’s first home track and field meet in three years was a strong showing for the home-field Falcons.

Running on a newly surfaced track, a bright orange-red that replaced the worn and torn black, South Whidbey’s boys narrowly edged Archbishop Murphy for first place April 2. The Falcon girls finished in second place out of four teams: Archbishop Murphy, Granite Falls, Coupeville and South Whidbey.

Six boys events and four girls events were won by Falcons.

Leading the boys’ efforts were Tanner Lobdell, a junior who won the 200 and 400-meter races; senior Truman Hood in the mile; sophomore Jack Nielsen in the 110-meter hurdles; junior Kobe Saephan in the discus; and junior Kyle Chambers in the long jump.

South Whidbey’s girls were paced by freshman Elizabeth Donnelly in the 400; Sophia Nielsen in the 100-meter hurdles; Kristen Schuster in the discus; and Morgan Davis in the javelin.

On Saturday, the Falcons traveled west to Poulsbo for the Lil’ Norway Invitational at North Kitsap High School. South Whidbey’s girls team finished in third place out of 15 teams, while the boys placed eighth.

Facing more competi-tion, South Whidbey mustered two first-place finishes. Donnelly won

the 1,600-meter race in 5:20.57, and Schuster claimed the title in the discus, throwing 102 feet, 11 inches.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

A late save by goalie Charley Stelling and an even later goal by Lucas Leiberman preserved and cushioned South Whidbey’s boys soccer 2-0 win over King’s on Friday night.

Playing with a narrow 1-0 lead, South Whidbey saw momentum swing King’s way late as the Knights charged on offense for a series of shots on goal. Leiberman’s score in minute 75 gave South Whidbey room to breathe as time expired.

“It was a nail biter the whole game,” Leiberman said. “To have that confirma-tion that we put it away right there was a good feeling.”

Rebounding from the first loss of the season to Archbishop Murphy on Tuesday, the Falcons opened as the aggressors. With a wet field from consistent rainfall before and during the match, play was marred by misfires early as both teams felt their way through the slick grass.

South Whidbey got on the scoreboard with a goal in the ninth minute. Falcon senior Andy Zisette crossed the ball from the right sideline into the goalie box, where senior striker Kai da Rosa booted in the ball.

As it had in most of its previous matches, South Whidbey’s offense rattled off a slew of shots. But most were just off the mark, including a series by the normally sure-

footed senior Jeff Meier, who has seven goals this season. Both teams played the next 64 minutes scoreless.

“We need to work on fin-ishing,” Leiberman said. “We need to finish the chances that we get.”

King’s junior keeper Jake Arnold was kept on his toes through the first half. South Whidbey tallied six shots through the first 40 minutes. A couple of the Knights’ close calls were cleared and caught by Stelling, who was most-ly kept inactive in previous matches as South Whidbey’s offense dominated midfield.

He saw plenty of action Friday night. Stelling, a senior, deflected a near point-blank shot on goal by King’s senior Svenn Helleren in the 69th minute to preserve the shutout. Helleren charged

down the left sideline, beat two Falcon defenders and was looking at nothing but open field between himself and Stelling. Helleren drib-bled into the box and shot, only to have the ball blocked by Stelling’s lunging foot.

“I was a little worried,” Stelling said. “We teach our defense to stay in front of them. He got through and my first reaction is to just send my foot out there. It was a good shot.”

“Right when anyone’s close, up in my grill, I’m ready to go,” he added.

King’s senior Jase Fransen tried a 30-yard blast that sailed high and headed toward South Whidbey’s net, but Stelling leaped and caught it to end the Knights’ salvo.

Leiberman, a junior, got

South Whidbey’s security score. Out of a scrum near the 18-yard mark, Leiberman tapped the ball out to his left and rocketed it into the back of the net for a 2-0 lead South Whidbey held the rest of the way.

“I just kept going at it,” Leiberman said. “I didn’t get off the first touch. I keep going.”

Shortly after the goal, a short pushing match ensued between a handful of Falcon and Knight players before quickly being reined in by the referees. Leiberman, who was initially at the center of the exchange after being tackled to the turf, said it was the result of two 1A Cascade Conference foes going head-to-head.

“It’s just a heated rivalry,” he said.

Poetry Slam season with Jim Freeman begins next week

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

The Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens will be overtaken with mythical beings large and small this weekend during Meerkerk Magic.

The event, which began in 2002, is an opportunity for children of all ages to visit the gardens and join in creating their own fairy dolls. Children use materi-als gathered from the gar-den, such as sticks, dried flowers and leaves, as well as manmade materials such as ribbon and beads, to craft the dolls.

Meerkerk Magic will take place from noon-4 p.m. Saturday, April 11 at the

gardens, 3531 Meerkerk Lane south of Greenbank. Refreshments are provided. Admission is $5; children under age 16 are admitted free.

Children are encouraged to dress up in anything, from wings to tutus or spar-kling dresses.

Emily Fiedler, age 12, has attended for the past four years, and now lends her assistance to the younger doll makers.

She lets her imagination guide her creations and encourages younger archi-tects to follow suit.

“I like how they fly,” she said of her affinity with fairies.

She and her sister, 9-year-

old Hayley Fiedler, were inspired to create their own fairy garden complete with the houses and dolls they have fashioned over the years.

Their fairies reside in the shade of a small tree in their front yard, decorated with a sign which reads: “fairies live here.”

On Monday afternoon, Emily Fiedler sported a blue and sea-green tutu she had made especially for Easter and Meerkerk Magic festivities.

Her mother, Tasha Fiedler, said she would like-ly enjoy dressing up in fey-style garb a bit more than her daughters, but Hayley and Emily usually get into

the spirit with bright colors and one or two accessories fit for the occasion.

Joan Bell, Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens operations manager, said seeing “all the cute little outfits and the glee the children have” is the most enjoyable aspect of the event.

Bell added that because the event is outdoors, she encourages children to bring warm clothing such as coats and hats in case of poor weather.

Christine Smith, a neighbor of the Fiedlers, volunteers at the gardens and Meerkerk Magic. She applauded the Fiedlers’ cre-ativity, and added that it’s

always a treat to see what all of the doll makers come up with.

She recalled that at last year’s event, Hayley Fiedler crafted a doll called the “Beast 3,000” which she intended to be the pet of her fairy.

“It looked like a beast,” Smith said.

Tasha Fiedler noted with a chuckle that she was fairly certain her daughter had come up with the name based upon Marshawn Lynch’s nickname, “Beast Mode.”

Hayley Fiedler was spending the day in Burlington and wasn’t avail-

able to comment. “There are so many

choices of what to make your fairy out of,” Emily Fiedler said.

Usually, dolls last through the summer and are able to inhabit the fairy houses made during the August event.

Smith and Bell said that additional assistance is always welcome during Meerkerk Magic, which is staffed entirely by volun-teers.

Those who wish to lend a hand should contact the gardens at 360-222-0121 or 360-678-1912.

In Memory of John GenisFlash Back

There he was – our eyes met, My heart skipped a beat. Was it fear? I turned and left, feeling confused – What is happening to me?

He called and I felt scared! Or was it excitement? We became friends for many months, I now felt secure.

Then one day he said to me, “This friendship of ours must cease”. He leaned and kissed me gently, I knew exactly what he meant.

He asked me to marry him – And I said “Yes”! The years �ew by with friendship and love, Certainly we were blessed.

As I was cooking his dinner one night, I felt his gaze upon my back. I turned and saw his eyes were wet, And asked if it was something I said.

He said to me and I quote, “Of all the thorns in Las Vegas, I found a rose”. My heart burst open when I heard his words, I’ll cherish them forever.

As the years took their toll, I watched him slip away from me. His hugs and kisses were frail, I wanted to take care of him forever.

I miss his hugs and kisses. The love and friendship too. But all is not lost because, The beautiful memories are not few.

~Love Remains Forever, Helen Genis

argued for proposed ordi-nance changes that would allow for winery-specific rural events and clean up “inconsistencies” in the county’s code dealing with wineries.

Carl Comfort and his wife, Rita, hired Larry Kwarsick, a former planning direc-tor who operates a private consulting firm, to assist them with writing the code changes that were pro-posed to the Island County Planning Commission and later the county commis-sioners. At least two other wineries were sent the code for review.

After a heated discussion, Price Johnson’s proposal to update the county’s winery regulations was voted down by the other two commis-sioners.

Price Johnson said Friday that that her argument for making changes to the win-ery code was largely misun-derstood because she was simply trying to change a very small part of the code, not make the sweeping changes proposed by the Comforts.

In addition, Price Johnson said she has a “stack of public input on the issue” and that it’s “disingenu-ous to make this about the Comforts.”

Commissioner Jill Johnson said she felt that “extreme changes” were proposed that were more than simple code changes.

“What I saw was definitely Comp Plan worth conversa-tions,” Johnson said.

The South Whidbey Record spoke to nearly every Whidbey Island winery and many said they had no

interest in having weddings or events on their property. Two wineries said it was only a plan for the distant future.

“We’re set up for it, but it’s not something in our business plan,” said Greg Martinez of Holmes Harbor Cellars. But the ordinance changes are “something we’re following,” Martinez said.

Greg Osenbach, owner of Whidbey Island Winery, said that they might be inter-ested in doing weddings at some point, but not at the expense of their neighbors.

“You can’t survive without the support of your com-munity,” Osenbach said. He added that he was “kind of disturbed” that the normally good relationship between wineries and their neighbors is “under siege” at Comforts of Whidbey.

Comfort said Thursday

that he started reaching out for neighbor support when he hosted his first two wed-dings in 2012. The following year they hosted seven weddings and one last year, Comfort said.

“We were very cognizant of the noise in all direc-

tions,” Comfort said, leading them to begin construction last year of a large indoor space they hope will help mitigate the noise.

Walsh said she and her neighbors were initially in favor of supporting the Comforts and rural events

at wineries, but did not like being left out of the process.

When neighbors have tried to reach out to Comfort by email, it has resulted in “long combative replies,” Walsh said.

With the new Comfort construction, Walsh said NICE believes the additional space will simply mean loud-er, larger-scale weddings, and that Comfort is using the new winery code regula-tions to work around more stringent requirements for rural event centers.

Comfort said that he and his wife looked into becom-ing a rural event center early on, but realized that the requirements would not address the needs of a winery.

His intention in submit-ting the updated language, Comfort said, was to cre-ate a starting point for the county to work on. He said it may have been “naive” to think that the process would be simple.

Planning Director David Wechner said code is gener-ally written by county staff and reviewed by attorneys unless a resident wants to file for a change.

“The ‘regular route’ is to file a comp plan amendment application and fee when an individual wants to propose a code change,” Wechner said. “I’d venture to say we’re more the experts in constructing and implement-ing code language.”

Karen Krug, owner of Spoiled Dog Winery who also sits on the planning commission, said while she is not interested in doing large-scale events, clarifica-tion of the winery ordinanc-es is necessary.

What was proposed, Krug said, “is not really inconsis-tent for what wineries do in other parts of the state. It’s not out of the box.”


TAKE AN INSPECTION

TOUR!If it’s time to sell your

home, there are two steps you can take to make the sale more rewarding. First, ask your agent to role-play as a critical buyer. Second, have a home inspection by a licensed inspector.

Having your representative tour your home can be enlightening. Perhaps the doorbell is cracked, the front door in need of paint, and the bedroom screen torn. Or is your bathroom tile in need of new grout? Is your cat box in the utility room?

Buyers in search of their dream home notice these things. Your “only a coffee stain” may register as the need for complete re-carpeting and improving can eliminate buyer excuses for a low offer.

A home inspector can provide you with an inspection report which can justify your asking price and be very convincing to quality-conscious buyers.

Complete all repairs and improvements before buyers see your home to encourage a full-price offer in short order.

WINERY RULESCONTINUED FROM A1

Janis Reid / The Record

Maro Walsh and Asara Lovejoy stand across the street from their South Whidbey homes Monday. Comforts of Whidbey winery is building an event center, shown behind them, which they believe will disrupt their quality of life because of the noise and traffic.

Johnsen said a geotechnical firm has been monitoring ground movement in the area to see if it would be safe to rebuild Driftwood Way, which was partially destroyed in the slide. He said it looks like the county may be able to rebuild the road if the funding is available but that it would have to go through an extensive design process.

He said he doesn’t know the status of a small emergency access road that the county built after the slide.

One of the lawsuits is a class-action complaint that names nine individuals as well as “all others similarly situated,” Bon Air Community Club and Ledgewood Beach Water District as plaintiffs.

The other lawsuit names four plaintiffs — Teddi Kachi, Graham Lind, Janice Roberts and David Watts — whose three homes were “red tagged” or “yellow tagged” by the county following the landslide. Red-tagged homes are deemed unsafe to enter while yellow tags mean people can enter to remove personal belongings but stay overnight.

The slide awakened residents of the neighborhood at about 4 a.m. as 5.3 million cubic feet of earth, one house and a small patch of woods were displaced in a matter of moments, accord-ing to a Department of Natural Resources report. The slide destroyed part of the Driftwood Way roadway beneath it and affected many other homes. Nobody was injured.

Roberts’ home, which subsequently was red-tagged, was later vandalized, looted and then destroyed by arson, the lawsuit states.

“It’s heartbreaking,” Willie said. “For most people, their primary asset they have in their lives is their homes. To come back from something like this is very difficult.”

Homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover landslides unless a homeowner purchases “a rider,” which can be very expensive or impossible to get, she said.

The lawsuits outline the geotechnical analysis and work that the county has done in the Ledgewood Beach area going back as far as 1977.

The lawsuits state that the county was aware of the instabil-ity of the landmass above Driftwood Way in 1991 and was warned by geologist Gerald Thorsen against the “poten-tially destabilizing effect of adding fill to the road.” Golder Associates also concluded in 1997 that the county’s continual placement of fill on the road “decreased the stability of the area,” the lawsuit states.

Nevertheless, the lawsuits claim the county “worsened the situation on Driftwood Way by adding and compacting fill on the roadway.”

Driftwood Way was hit by significant landslides in 1996 and 2006; both times the county rebuilt the road.

The lawsuits allege that the county recognized that ground-water was likely the cause of ground movement in the area but did not take steps to mitigate the problem.

The lawsuits claim that the county was aware in 2012 and 2013 that a cross-culvert was blocked and wasn’t conveying water underneath Driftwood Way, but did nothing to fix it.

“These things are not that mysterious,” Willie said. “Common sense and preventative measures may have pre-vented this.”

In addition, the lawsuits claim that the county breached its duties by refusing to accept ownership or maintenance responsibility for an access road built after the landslide to link the south end of Driftwood Way to Fircrest Avenue. The road doesn’t allow access to all of the residents’ requirements, including complete emergency services, the lawsuits state.

A 2013 report that GeoEngineers, Inc. compiled for the county, however, didn’t identify the blocked culvert or fill as contributing factors in the landslide.

The report pointed to high seasonal and cumulative ground-water; built-up groundwater and hydrostatic pressure from previous slide material impeding seepage; pre-existing slide planes; and erosion at the toe of the slide area as likely trig-gers.

Also, the Department of Natural Resources’ “quick report” by four geologists described the landslide as part of a much larger, 1.5-mile “landslide complex” that may date back as much as 11,000 years and consists of poorly consolidated materials.

Since the landslide was “deep seated,” one of the state DNR geologists said it was debatable whether groundwater or sur-face run-off was even a factor.

competition for them,” he wrote in an email Monday afternoon. “In reality, compe-tition is good for business. It helps keep a business owner on their toes to keep up with what the people want.”

In Davolio’s memo to the mayor and the city council, he added that the lack of pro-posals came with “some dis-appointment.” Creating the request for proposals was a

way for the city to “ensure equal treatment in the event that we received more pro-posals than we had spaces to offer.” His recommendation to accept applications on a first-come, first served basis and to lease the spaces on a set, to-be-determined fee, received unanimous, unof-ficial support. The proposal did not require any action from the council, which did not discuss the changes or the lack of applications.

McCarthy supported Davolio and the proposal,

saying that the city never wanted to create competition with existing restaurants. The original ordinance was prompted by inquiries from prospective food truck own-ers and the desire to add new businesses without new and direct competition, he said.

“We think that we’re a fairly small market here, so it’s got to be the right person who sees this as a desirable location,” McCarthy said in a phone interview.

The food truck season

begins May 21 in Langley. Applications are being accepted without the addi-tional step of proposing an exchange for use of the pub-lic space. Davolio will estab-lish a set fee for use of the locations on Second Street in front of Langley Park and on First Street in front of Hladky Park, commonly called Whale Bell Park.

“It sounded like an innova-tive economic development effort … Obviously we’d like to see it get tried here,” McCarthy said.
