Fishing for kings is a game of patience and persis-tence, said boat owner Jean Streitler of Clinton, who was accompanied by friends Don Heggenes and Tom Fallon. There are no tricks, they said, to catching kings. It’s about time and action.
Alas, salmon proved to be both elusive and feisty, but the day wasn’t without excitement. Lures run deep, about 120 feet, and as Fallon reeled in the squid-like lure — a strike! Turning over the level wind reel and bringing in the fish, it was hardly a loss to Fallon to watch the pink salmon spit out the hook and swim away a dozen or so feet from the boat.
“Stupid humpy,” Fallon said.
As the hours wore on and daylight breached through a cloudy sky and shone across
the mountains, the tension that perhaps the only fish to be hooked had gotten away grew.
Across the water, what started as a faint line of flickering boat lights in the dark became an increasingly frenzied horde of fiberglass and aluminum boats trolling south. Like a choreographed dance, the vessels drifted from Marrowstone Island toward Port Townsend, then motored back to repeat the motion.
While the South Whidbey men said previous years were far busier, the area was choked with boats. With so many on the water, the lack of hearing “hoots and hol-lers” was both encouraging and disheartening because it meant their boat wasn’t the only one not finding fish.
More waiting. By 6 a.m. Heggenes’ rod
jumps up off the downrigger. Fish on.
Heggenes yanks up, set-ting the hook. He pulls up and reels in as he lets the rod down. He repeats the motion a dozen more times before a silver flash thrashes
in the water, 10 yards from the boat. He reels it close enough for Streitler to scoop it into the net for a quick boat-side inspection — a big, 20-pound, native chinook that must be released.
“It’s thrilling to reel it, but it’s even more thrilling to hold it,” Heggenes said.
Another 80 minutes pass before either rod sees that kind of action. In the mean-time, tales are told, theories of why the fish aren’t biting and where they may be are shared, and several more
passes along the stretch of water are made.
Then, out of the deep blue sea, the rod jumps up as it releases from the downrig-ger again. Heggenes begins to reel, this time with far less fight, and hauls it alongside the boat. With its adipose
fin clipped, it was a hatchery king and a keeper, estimated at 12 pounds. Tossed into the boat’s stowage bin for cooling and storing, at least one fish
was landed. It ended up being the
only fish kept before being dropped off at Bush Point to haul out the boat for another day.
Later in the afternoon, a local fishing expert said he’d heard only one report of a successful king salmon trip. Bob Crouch, the fishing guru at Sebo’s Do-It Center in Bayview, said a man came by in the late morning and reported he had kept a 20-pound and 16-pound king salmon, meeting his daily legal limit.
“That’s the only one I’ve heard of so far, but they’re big fish,” Crouch said.
“It sounds like it’s starting off good,” he added.
King salmon fishing, because of the depth at which they typically swim and feed, are largely relegated to boat-ers. That limits some access, especially as opposed to the nearshore catchability of pink salmon at beaches like Bush Point and Mutiny Bay. But every once in a while, some-one hooks into a king from the beach, as Crouch said he can attest to. Both times the catch was out of season and he released them.
“I’ve caught them off the beach, they happen occasion-ally,” he said.

Bridge work completed early
Work on Deception Pass Bridge was completed ahead of schedule, allow-ing the bridge to reopen Wednesday night.
Previous plans had scheduled nighttime clo-sure of the bridge through Friday evening. The Washington Department of Transportation reported that the paving work was completed two days ahead of schedule. Remaining work was to be completed at night, leading to single-lane clo-
sures from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Thursday and Friday.
Old asphalt was removed, the exposed concrete bridge decks were inspected, bridge-expansion joints were evaluated, and the bridg-es were repaved.
Primary ballots are on their way
Primary election bal-lots are out and should have begun arriving in mailboxes across Whidbey Island this week, the Island County Auditor’s Office announced.
The primary election
is Aug. 4 and will nar-row races with three or more candidates to the top two challeng-ers. They will move on to the General Election, Nov. 3. Three races will appear on this year’s primary ballot, but only two will appear on South Whidbey ballots: the seat for Langley mayor and position 2 on Whidbey General Hospital’s Board of Commissioners.
Vying for the mayor’s chair are Tim Callison, Sharon Emerson and Thomas Gill; hospital hopefuls are Rob Born, Rita Drum and incumbent Georgia Gardner.
The third race is for Oak Harbor mayor. Jim Campbell, Bob Severns and Martha Yount are all seeking the position.
According to the audi-tor’s office, ballots are mailed 20 days before the election to people currently residing on Whidbey, and military and overseas ballots are sent 45 days before the elec-tion.
Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider warned voters to be extra careful when filling out ballots and to get them in on time.
“The two main reasons ballots can’t be counted
are the voter either didn’t sign the ballot envelope or the ballot envelope is postmarked after Election Day,” said Crider, in a news release. “These are easy things to correct.”
Voters can return bal-lots by mail or drop them in one of the six ballot drop boxes strategically located throughout the county. For drop box loca-tions, visit www.island-county.net and then click “Elections.”
Crider also urged vot-ers to fill out and return ballots quickly. The more ballots received early, the more will be counted by election night, the release said.
If you haven’t received your ballot by July 21, call the elections office at 360-679-7366 to get a replacement ballot.
Former transit chief not charged
A Washington State Patrol investigation into the former director of Island Transit didn’t uncov-er any criminal wrongdo-ing, the Island County prosecutor concluded.
But Prosecutor Greg Banks calculates that former Island Transit director Martha Rose was
overpaid by nearly $7,000 as part of her separation agreement. He said the agency probably can’t do anything to recoup the money because the board of directors ratified the payout amount as part of the settlement.
Banks asked detectives with the State Patrol to investigate last fall after a report by the state Auditor’s Office identified discrepancies between Rose’s calendar and her vacation leave balance.
The Auditor’s Office ana-lyzed the transit agency’s records after financial problems forced officials to lay off employees and cut bus routes. Rose even-tually left under pressure from the public and the Island Transit board of directors.
The board approved a $106,000 payout as part of Rose’s severance package, which included $88,000 for unused vacation.
The state audit report, and the state patrol inves-tigation, stated that Rose hadn’t reported many days of vacation time.
Development up for discussion
Those interested in future development rules for Freeland will have a chance to weigh in at a community meeting next week.
The meeting is from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 21 at Whidbey Water Services, 5585 Lotto Ave.
Island County is in the midst of updating its com-prehensive plan, and part of that process is develop-ing zoning and land-use
regulations to implement the Freeland Subarea Plan. Island County Planning and Community Development staff is hold-ing the meeting to provide a brief overview of the process, answer questions and collect community feedback.
According to a recent news release, it will be the first of several planned public meetings to discuss the new regulations.
Board considering larger budget
The South Whidbey School Board will hold a public hearing about the proposed 2015-16 budget next week.
The hearing will be held during the district’s regularly scheduled busi-ness meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 22 in the Community Room at South Whidbey Elementary School on Maxwelton Road.
According to budget documents discussed at a July 8 workshop, the gen-eral fund is set to increase to $16.5 million, from $15.4 million in the 2014-15 budget. Similarly, total expenditures are expected to increase to $19.4 million from $18.4 million.
Some of the primary challenges in the district this year include enroll-ment decline, unknown negotiation costs, and substantial increases in retirement rates, according to board documents.
Public hearings are for-mal and legally required meetings where public comment is taken and recorded.

OutCast Production’s dark comedy ‘Pillowman’ nears its finale
OutCast Productions’ dark comedy, “The Pillowman,” is nearing its swan song with the final two weekends ahead.
The play centers on a writer in an unnamed totali-tarian state who is being interrogated about the grue-some content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching exami-nation of the very nature and purpose of art, accord-ing to a recent news release.
It opened July 10 and runs through Saturday, July 25.
Director Katie Woodzick leads the cast of Max Cole-Takanikos, Ned Farley, Jim Scullin and Aaron Simpson. Cole-Takanikos created original, multi-media illustra-
tions for the piece to be paired with music Ashley Eriksson composed specifically for this production.
Performances are at the Black Box Theater at the Island County Fairgrounds, 819 Camano Ave., Langley.
Tickets cost $18 for adults and $14 for students and seniors. All tickets for the Thursday, July 23 per-formance cost $10. Purchase tickets online at Brown Paper Tickets, www.brownpapertickets.com/event/pr/1726326, or reserve seats and pay at the door by cash or check by emailing [email protected].
night campground say it has the potential to be a boost to South Whidbey’s economy. Campers would likely hit stores across the South End to supply their outdoor festivities, said Michaleen McGarry, executive director of the Langley Chamber of Commerce.
“It would definitely have potential for growth,” McGarry said. “In general, it’s actually something that’s very welcome. The outdoor adventure sector is just growing a lot.”
Even environmental warriors agree the area is in desperate need of a new campground.
“I see making camping available as a major piece of the economic picture,” said Marianne Edain, brush-fire coordinator for the Whidbey Environmental Action Network. “There’s a screaming need for more campsites.”
According to Coutts, a soft plan is for 30 camping spots, which would be a split between tent and pow-ered camping. Along with a campground, there would
be trails throughout the area. As for the actual build-ing and maintenance of the park, Coutts said, existing logging roads might be removed or reconditioned into paths — the idea is to keep it “natural” looking.
Edain said the con-sidered site is near the headwaters of Maxwelton Creek, which she called the largest stream in Island County.
“It’s not even 10 miles, but it’s the biggest creek we have,” she said.
The high school and South Whidbey Parks and Recreation are parked right on top of the headwaters. It’s caused some problems in the past, she said, and any development of the area should be done with caution.

ResponseBanning fireworks is the best thing for Island CountyEditor,
Fires are burning in the Queets rain forest in Olympic National Park this summer. Smoke blowing down from Canada alerts us that fires rage there, too.
We on Whidbey Island know that our woods and grass lands are just as dry, ready to burst into flame if touched by a carelessly tossed match or firecrack-er. How fast could such a fire spread? Take a look to your right at the blackened fields as you drive from Freeland to Bayview on Highway 525. In this case, our valiant firefighters were able to stop the flames. But, can you imagine the panic if a fire on Whidbey spread out of control? We have three exits from this island, none of which could man-age a mass evacuation.
When our fire danger is high, Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, who is also the fire marshal, alerts us with signs and newspaper notices of the burn ban, and all sensible residents strictly observe it. But what about fireworks? In most cities of Washington, fire-works are illegal, but not so in many unincorporated areas, such as Whidbey Island. As this year’s Fourth of July approached, even with extreme fire dan-ger in the state, officials from the governor on down seemed flummoxed, with apparently no one able to take emergency action.
I contend that only local fire or police officials are in a position to evaluate fire danger in their region; and
if they judge fire danger to be high, they must be given the authority to ban all out-door burning, including the setting off of fireworks. An even better solution for Island County would be to completely ban fireworks. We cannot be so irrespon-sible as to wait for a mas-sive fire, destroying houses and taking lives, before we change this law.

ElectionsCallison is positive, the right person for Langley mayorEditor,
The Langley mayoral election is about positive experienced leadership, such as represented by Tim Callison through his background and personal-ity, which is inclusive and tolerant.
Tim emerged from a hard-working, blue col-lar industrial worker background to become president and CEO of an international company. He brings moderation and positive engagement to our community. His steady and positive personality exhib-its strong skills in creative
problem-solving, not nega-tive criticism with unrealis-tic options.
Tim is the best leader for guiding and supporting city staff and community volun-teers who donate their time on city projects with hon-esty and integrity. Quality leadership is not demon-strated by negative attacks on staff and pro bono volunteers in The Record, nor exhibiting disrespect for police officers who are doing their duty.
Tim can work positively with port officials and staff as the marina expands; he is an experienced negotia-tor, implementer; he can better serve residents, property owners and mer-chants through realistic and achievable visions that support this vibrant and diverse community, not suggesting as some have that conflict and dissension, even strife, are healthy for the community. That is not healthy leadership. One may be opposed to an idea like the “Langley lift,” but vociferous and angry or mean-spirited opposition to an idea only drives a wedge into the community, not unites it with positive dialogue and debate. As an experienced planner, I was disappointed to see the
need for two police officers at a public workshop—that is not healthy.
Running for a community leadership role and asking for votes on a single nega-tive issue is not healthy. Vision? None. Tim Callison is demonstrating quality leadership with his positive experience and demeanor. Leadership is about capa-bility, experience, skills, a positive demeanor and example. Yes, leadership by example. Vote for Tim Callison.

As reported at a Feb. 9 2015 board meeting, the hospital’s year to date oper-ating loss was $4.6 million. At about the same time the year before, it was reported the year to date loss for

Real manhood ended up having to wait
Editor’s column
Ahhhhh… manhood! I’ve arrived at last. Admittedly, it was a couple of days later than planned, but I’ll get to that in a minute. Let me just say first that the air is clearer up here with us real men, us crabbers. As the elite we know things that other people don’t, stuff like how it feels to be that guy in the office who gives away free crab because he caught more than he can eat. Well, this week I’m that guy because I caught two.
Ahhhhh… manhood! These were two hard-earned crab, I might add. As I men-
tioned in this very column on Wednesday, I’ve had a lot of fun in life and have gotten to see and do some cool things. But being my own crabber, the one who decides when and where to drop his pots, had somehow eluded me. Seriously, what self-respecting Whidbey Island man hasn’t gone out and caught a few Dungeness crab in his life?
Well, my name had been on that short list for too long so I boldly wrote that I would end my shame that very night. That column was written on Tuesday. TUESDAY. Those who already live up high in the clear air will know why that’s relevant. For everyone else, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are especially important in the crabbing world for reasons I’ll explain shortly.
So, after work I loaded up my leaky old aluminum din-ghy — it belonged to my late grandfather and has hauled countless Dungeness in years past — my trusty first mate (Mr. Spock, the dog) and headed out to pick up my fishing license. Wanting to be a responsible fisherman, I was careful to quiz the experts about what areas are legal to fish, daily limits and size requirements. I was ready.
I should preface this by mentioning the work and invest-ment that preceded these events. Buying a trap and gear ($125), borrowing a trailer for the boat and wiring the Toyota to tow it ($50, and an afternoon under the truck) buying bait ($2.50) and time rummaging through the shed for stuff like life jackets, extra line and other miscellaneous boat gear (headache).
So finally I was set and Mr. Spock and I hit the boat launch at Freeland Park. It was too rough to comfortably launch such a small boat — 8 feet — but I was determined and strangely we had the place largely to ourselves. Similarly, Holmes Harbor was a ghost town of other boats and crab traps alike. Weird, I thought as I dropped my pot after a wet

and bumpy 30-minute ride to Sandy Point just south of Honeymoon Bay.
Well, the mystery was solved when I arrived back at the launch to a man with a knowing smile who expressed his hope that I wouldn’t lose my pot because the fishery was closed. Being a naturally sus-picious newsman, I marked his face just in case it did go
missing as I knew the area was in fact open.
Of course he was right. A call to a state hotline made it clear that while the area was open, all crab fishing in Puget Sound is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Ahhhhh… manhood, looks like it would have to wait until Thursday. What a newbie. The trip back out that very evening to pick up my illegal pot was smooth-er than the previous trip, thanks to it being 8 p.m., but it was bitter consolation as I dumped overboard the eight
crab I found inside.Thursday came all too
quickly, however, and I dropped my pot in the very same spot, which was now surrounded by a sea of other traps. A half-hour later, I claimed two legal-size males, chucked a small one back and dropped the pot down for an overnight soak. I had crab for dinner, the best one I’ve ever eaten, gave another away Friday morning and am eagerly awaiting the end of the work day to fetch more red gold.
So what’s the moral of
this fish story? I don’t know; crabbing is expensive and time consuming but fun. Just be sure to check the regulations carefully before you head out — your man-hood may depend on it.

EDITOR’S COLUMNCONTINUED FROM A6
2013 was over $5.5 million. Taxpayers should be out-raged at this lack of fiscal discipline and accountabil-ity at our public hospital. The incumbent running for reelection, Georgia Gardner, stated in a recent forum that she is dedicated to the over-sight of hospital finances. Indeed. With that kind of “dedication” it seems to me the hospital is in big trouble, and it’s time for some adult leadership.
Of the three candidates for the board, there’s one, Rob Born, who seems to understand that board mem-bers have a serious fiduciary responsibility to the taxpay-ers. It’s time for a change, and the upcoming election will be the voters’ chance to make that change.

Drew Fry doesn’t get nervous during the big moment in a game.
Well, maybe just a little bit, the pitcher and short-stop says.
That’s because Fry’s mind is elsewhere. It’s focused on the next pitch, the next strike. And after South Whidbey’s 11/12 Little League All-Stars
defeated Sedro-Woolley 3-1 in the second of two championship games in the District 11 tournament Thursday night, it’s on to the next game. South Whidbey will face District 4’s champion at the 2015 Washington State Little League Baseball State Tournament at 11 a.m. July 25 in Bothell.
Fry was on the mound when South Whidbey secured the victory, which was especially fitting con-
sidering he was pitching when the team lost 3-2 to Sedro-Woolley on a walk-off home run in the first round.
South Whidbey’s win over Sedro-Woolley marked the team’s fifth consecutive victory in the tournament. South Whidbey defeat-ed Anacortes, Central Whidbey, and North Whidbey — the top seed in the tournament — en route to the championship game.
“I can’t believe we came back from that, after los-
ing the first game,” Fry said, referring to South Whidbey’s loss in the open-ing round. “We worked together as a team better since the first game.”
Fry retired 10 of his first 11 batters, while holding Sedro-Woolley to four hits. Fry threw eight strikeouts.
The majority of the team went to state two years ago in the 9/10 division. But, compared to the level of maturity and development skill-wise that has hap-
pened between then and now, this year’s state berth is on a whole other level.
“They’ve been working hard ever since then so I think all that comes togeth-er,” said head coach James Petty.
Despite not having the best performance at the plate, according to Petty, South Whidbey was still able to start things off fast. Dayton Birchfield’s single in the second inning scored Luke Rookstool, giving
South Whidbey a 1-0 lead. South Whidbey’s Ethan
Petty drove in Thomas Simms on a single in the third for the team’s next score.
Sedro-Woolley’s most productive inning came in the fourth, when Seth Humerickhouse scored off Owen Murdock’s single.
South Whidbey’s Brent Batchelor sealed the game when he blasted a solo home run to right field, cushioning a two-run lead.

Island Shakespeare Festival’s two 2015 produc-tions are two sides to the same coin of humanity.
One side has the females of “The Tempest,” which opened this weekend; the other, “The Three Musketeers,” represents the male. They play on the themes of honor and power crafted by artistic director and founder Rose Woods, who is directing “The Tempest.”
Gordon Carpenter is directing “The Three Musketeers” based on his own adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ French tale of the men protecting the crown. With Musketeers, Island Shakespeare Festival is tak-ing its first foray away from the works of Shakespeare since launching in 2009. Woods said she chose to include a non-Shakespear-ean work to the lineup this season because she wanted to vary what was offered and because she trusted Carpenter to create a great work, for which he was commissioned. Originally, a third production of “Night of the Iguana” was set to be part of the festival but was dropped due to personnel changes, Woods said. With further plans for a third production in 2016 and per-haps a fourth in later years, Woods said the festival will rely only on classical litera-ture for performances.
“I love that in classical lit-erature chivalry still exists, that good guys are good guys and villains are villains but sometimes do good,” she said.
In Tempest, a magi-cian and duchess named Prospero, played by Amy Wheeler of Hedgebrook Institute, is stranded on an
island with her daughter, Miranda, played by Katrina Christiansen. Due to the machinations of Prospero’s brother, Antonio, she and her daughter were stuck on the island. That is, until Prospero divines that Antonio, played by Andy Fling, is offshore and sum-mons a tempest — thus the title — to bring her brother ashore to get revenge and restore her and her daugh-ter’s place as the rightful ruler and heir.
Woods said it is a story of the lengths to which parents will go to ensure their children’s safety, or of anyone’s attempts to help those they love.
Rather than seeing Prospero’s storm as a solely destructive force, Woods said it allows all of
the characters to undergo a transformation.
Woods said the story, as she has adapted it, is intensely personal. She first moved to the area to spend time with her mother, and that relationship was the springboard and connec-tion to the story and char-acters of “The Tempest,” particularly Prospero and Miranda.
“ ‘The Tempest,’ for me, is all about redemption,” she said.
In her director’s message about the production, she wrote: “I am rediscovering grace, hope, and no small amount of love. It’s hum-bling.”
She saw the relation-ship between Prospero, traditionally a much older male, and the 15-year-old
Miranda as needing more realism. Lowering the age of Prospero and making the duke into a duchess changes it drastically, she said, and the actors have brought a genuine element to their onstage relation-ship.
Woods said there are lines where Miranda, as played by Christiansen, has the snark of a 15-year-old girl responding to her seemingly overbearing parent.
Playing with the gender of characters and of the performers is nothing new, and continues a long tradi-tion in acting. Woods said it matters more about how an actor connects to the character more than just having men play men and women play women, unless
it defeats the purpose of the play entirely.
A bit of cross-gender per-forming will take place with “The Three Musketeers” as well. With 11 women and eight men performing in the company, by necessity some of the swashbucklers will be female.
All three main muske-teers, however, are men, as played by Aramis’ Gavin Douglas, D’Artagnan’s Michael Robinson and Porthos’ Damien Cortez.
Woods described “Musketeers” as being “testosterone-driven,” because of all of the action and fights.
“There’s 20 fights in ‘The Three Musketeers’ at least,” she said. “It’s a melee.”
To create a different experience, the tent will
utilize its new field at South Whidbey Academy. By opening up the back flap and moving backstage to the corners, during fights, the action on stage will be supplemented with back-ground fights on the grass, creating a more layered visual.
In director Gordon Carpenter’s director’s notes about “The Three Musketeers,” he wrote that his fascination with the story began after seeing the film by Richard Lester and screenwriter George MacDonald Fraser in 1973.
“And it was a time when you were able to sit through as many showings as you liked after buying your ticket,” he wrote. “I sat through it over and over again.”

GEMINIYou’re well aware that quality ma-terials for renovating your homeare not just a luxury, but also aninvestment. Don’t be afraid to makechanges in your home so that it’smore to your liking.
CANCERDuring a trip, conference, trainingsession or even some sort of the-rapy, you may meet someone whocaptivates you and makes you relivecertain emotions that you’d buried.
LEOYou have no intention of settling fora little “I love you.” It will take a lotmore than that from your loved oneto make you dream. In fact, he orshe may treat you to a really ro-mantic experience.
VIRGOVacation time is here? Nothing’sforcing you to stay home. You couldplan a vacation abroad or a longroad trip with family or friends inorder to get away from it all.
LIBRAYour home and finances are oftena source of worry, which does no-thing to improve your love relation-ship. You should try to find anothertopic of conversation to relievethe tension.
SCORPIOCleaning is an irksome chore thatyou put off until later, but you mayrun out of time. As long as you knowhow to communicate your brilliantideas, they pay off big time at work.
SAGITTARIUSYou feel the need to improve yourhome’s security. For your peace ofmind, you might want to take ac-tion by having an alarm systemand better locks installed.
CAPRICORNYour impulsiveness may be difficultto manage. At work, you climb theladder at lightning speed, but it’sonly when you’re at the top thatyou realize the scope of your newresponsibilities.
AQUARIUSHome, family and projects cost alot at this time of year. Vacation timeis approaching and you want to haveeverything ready so that you can re-lax without a care in the world.
PISCESSometimes you have to put your-self first. You wouldn’t hesitate fora second to give to people in dis-tress. However, be careful not toplace yourself in a precarious fi-nancial situation.
ARIESYou have the great idea of spendingyour vacation at home. You’re sureto feel like redesigning the flower-beds and the landscaping. This willtake up your entire vacation.

The effort to restrict the discharge of fireworks has been spearheaded by Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. She’d lobbied for limitations or an outright ban. Hannold initially agreed restrictions were warranted; Commissioner Jill Johnson was the sole opposition.
Following Hannold’s change of heart, the board again discussed whether to
include fireworks in a total burn ban, or to ban the use of personal fireworks entirely. They had also discussed the possibility of giving the fire marshal authority to impose a total burn ban, inclusive of personal-use fireworks.
Aside from a total ban on personal-use fireworks, Brown said, linking the ban on fireworks to a total burn ban would be most effective.
“We had a partial burn ban that ended up going to a total burn ban. At that point, the logic behind not allowing
enclosed fires, but allowing fireworks, becomes problem-atic,” Brown said.
Johnson said she was in favor of restricting personal-use fireworks in hazardous circumstances, and added she would be “more than happy” to give that author-ity to the fire marshal. She added that there needs to be a detailed outline of what circumstances constitute the need for a ban, and that there should be an early-notice time frame specified. That way, individuals don’t “gear up” for
certain types of celebrations only to be told “no” at the last minute.
“Emergency circum-stances are, by definition, not known well in advance,” said Price Johnson. “I think the verbiage around having con-sultation with the fire officials provides the community with the assurance that it would not be done arbitrarily.”
Perhaps a clause could address instances of fire breakouts, she suggested, adding there needs to be time to notify people when a ban is put into effect.
“It’s hard to imagine a sce-nario where you have a level of dryness that you don’t see coming in advance. One hot day doesn’t create an emer-gency,” she said.
Price Johnson said she wouldn’t support including a time frame in the county code. She asked Johnson and Hannold if there was inter-est in restricting the number of days fireworks would be permitted, noting that she’d received numerous emails from residents requesting a reduction in allowed dis-charge periods.
During the previous meet-ing she suggested limiting personal-use fireworks to July 4 only, citing concerns from citizens about trash, pets and wildlife.
Oak Harbor and unincor-porated Island County allow discharge of personal fire-works June 28 through July 5. Langley and Coupeville restrict discharge to July 4.
In response to Price Johnson’s suggestion, Hannold said he would sup-
port restricting discharge of personal fireworks to July 3-5.
Johnson argued against the proposal, saying that the ability to ignite fireworks is a major draw for tourists who come to the islands. Price Johnson said she doesn’t believe restricting fireworks to July 3 and 4 would have a negative impact on the econ-omy.
Johnson eventually acqui-esced, however, saying she could accept the July 3-5 time frame.
“I think fireworks have got-ten more intense over time; I think that’s a fair statement to make,” said Johnson. “I still think there’s room in our culture for fireworks celebra-tions and the traditions that go along with it, and I am comfortable with the third, fourth and fifth as that cel-ebratory window.”
New Year’s would also be included, for a total of four days a year.
The proposed ban on fire-works would only apply to fireworks sold and ignited for personal use in areas of unin-corporated Island County, not those discharged during public displays, such as Oak Harbor’s July 4 celebration or Freeland’s July 3 Celebrate America event.
If the new fireworks rules are adopted, they will take effect one year after their adoption, unless the state Legislature decides in favor of an earlier date.
The public will have the opportunity to review and comment upon a draft ordi-nance before it is finalized.
