Mauk leaves district, looks for higher-ed step
By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter A legal battle that has raged for 15 years between Island County and a environmental watchdog group over critical area rules had another page added to its history last week. On April 2, a Thurston County Superior Court judge overturned a 2006 decision by the Growth Management Hearings Board that the county can use farm plans as a management tool to meet state environmental protection laws.

Students chat with Assistant Principal Scott Mauk near the parking lot after a recent school day. His 17-year career in the South Whidbey School District will end in June.
By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Walking around the campus just before the final bell, Scott Mauk gets a moment to himself before being swarmed by students. South Whidbey High School’s assistant principal/athletic director drops off paperwork regarding an athlete’s injury in Waterman’s Field press box. Then he walks into the parking lot, making sure the west gate is open and locking the east gate. It’s one of a shrinking number of times he did the routine. Mauk submitted his resignation, effective June 30, making the move in March after 17 years of employment in the South Whidbey School District. “I’m trying to branch out and do something different,” Mauk said. “I’m really grateful for this community,” he added. “The challenge in moving to different things is pulling away from that.” His next job was not confirmed, though Mauk said it will not be on Whidbey Island.

Or maybe a mock teacher. In his first job as an educator, Mauk taught seventhgrade English in Kent and was also the school’s maintenance worker. Beyond cleaning chalkboards, the first job stuck with him because he taught a Shakespeare unit — the one lesson he failed in his gradeschool days. Since then, he taught high school, elementary school and alternative school classes. With the South Whidbey School District, Mauk taught social studies and organic gardening at Bayview School, became the director-teacher at Bayview, directed the district’s highly capable learners program, was assistant principal at South Whidbey Elementary School, was
“It is clear to this court that the methodology adopted by Island County to protect critical areas from agricultural uses on lands in agricultural use prior to 1998 violates the Growth Management Act,” wrote Judge Chris Wickham, in his opinion letter. The Whidbey Environmental Action Network, or WEAN, appealed the 2006 case to Thurston County. It was the latest in a long series of litigation concerning the county’s critical areas rules. Steve Erickson, legal coordinator for the group, is chalking up Wickham’s ruling as a victory in the ongoing legal battle but not one that was too surprising. “It was really pretty predictable,” Erickson said.

Christian Academy’s cultural fair brings history to life Students at Island Christian Academy showed off what they have learned about culture, history and geography March 26 at the annual cultural fair. Each spring the school presents an academic fair to showcase students’ work. This year’s fair focused on cultures and history. Students selected to either study and represent a culture, a historical figure, or a significant historical event. The gym bustled with barbarians, Romans, historic figures, kids dressed in ethnic costumes, great food and creative displays. They were each evaluated by a pair of judges, based on an oral presentation as well as a physical representation of their chosen subject matter, said Brenda Chittim, Island Christian Academy principal. Although not a part of the judging process, students are also required to write a paper on their topic.
“This year many chose to dress up as the person from history and give a speech in character,” Chittim said. “Some chose to present a demonstration of food, dress, and even song from a particular culture, and still others created a scaled replica of a particular historical scene such as a battle,” she added. Younger grades participated in ageappropriate class projects; and even the kindergarten and pre-kindergarten grades got their first taste at a fair. The youngest participants all proudly received participation ribbons. The students made parents and teachers proud. “Each year the fair requires significant work, but the finished product is worth the effort as students have a life-long memory of their piece of history,” Chittim said. The winners are:
Third and fourth grade: first place, Sierra Wilmoth; second place, Kelsey Griswold-Bacigalupi, and third place, Amy Doolittle. Fifth and sixth grade: first place, Gracie McGill and Christian Nance; second place, Megan Nance, and third place Carson Filla. Junior high level: first place, Kaitlyn Lambeth; second place Kyli DeMers; and third place, Courtney Dunigan and Chloe Panichi. High school level: first place, Shelby Lubchuk; second place, Jonathan Panichi; and third place Sonja Pringle-Keller. People’s Choice Awards: Lilah Chappelle and Caleb Chittim. The annual fair revolves in a three-year cycle with the school’s science and art fairs. — Michaela Marx Wheatley, staff reporter

Holmes Harbor golf course sale takes a mulligan By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Opening the Holmes Harbor Golf Course will wait a while longer. The Holmes Harbor Sewer District board sent its purchase and sale agreement back to its lawyer for review and amendment, even though potential course leasee-operator Patrick Kent is waiting in the wings. Delaying the deal was a clause about leasing or subleasing the course’s pro shop and maintenance facility. Fairly certain in the contract are the fairways and greens from owners Kevin Hanchett and Mike Cooper to the sewer district for $200,000. “We can justify owning the grass,” said Stan Walker, sewer district chairman. “We can’t justify owning the pro shop and maintenance facil-
ity.” Buying the greens is necessary for the sewer district, which irrigates the course with its treated wastewater. When the fairways are allowed to grow too long and are not maintained, the drainage can compromise the sewer system. Recent wet weather has some of the district’s holding ponds near capacity, though a few others remain mostly drained, so there was little risk of an overflow. “Owning 50 acres of grass is a nightmare,” Walker said. “It’s essentially 100 lawns.” Those are lawns that Kent, a 25-year-old Tukwila resident, wants to tend. Golf runs in his family. He played collegiately in Denver, his parents play and his sister is on the golf team at Washington State University. When the course’s availability came up at work, he decided to take a swing. “With my background in business and background in golf, it was the right opportunity,” Kent said. At the sewer district’s meeting April 11, Kent briefly addressed the board. He told
the board he drafted a threeyear business plan and dispelled rumors he has stakes in other golf courses. This is his first attempt at operating a golf course, Kent said. Running the course, he estimates, will cost $250,000. Without the clubhouse to sell food and drinks at a high profit, bringing in lots of golfers is the key to a viable business. He wants the course to be a “practice facility,” and South Whidbey’s most popular golf destination. As a public course, Kent plans to keep greens fees lower than previous operators. “The goal from a community perspective is to be a place where people can play golf, be outdoors and have fun,” Kent said. “Our primary goal is to get the people of Whidbey Island to play here.” Leasing the greens from the sewer district will cost $1 annually, but the pro shop and maintenance facility leases, either from Hanchett or the sewer district, will each cost $500 per month. Closing is also contingent on an easement issue.

It’s time to play ball Today is special. Take a minute and look at the calendar. Nothing there for Saturday, April 13, not even a Canadian holiday. It’s special because it’s South Whidbey Little League Opening Day. For those of us with a few years and pounds under our belts, Little League has special meaning. The stirrup socks. The leather shoes with spikes that were sadly rubber so future Ty Cobbs couldn’t file them to a razor’s edge. The scratchy wool uniforms that enveloped the wearer like a loose cocoon. The ball caps that fell down every time we looked up to see a fly ball rocketing toward our bare heads. The memories are endless, kept hidden in a scrapbook where the black & white team photo is coming unglued. Look at that team. How could such a scraggly bunch of rejects ever think they’d some day make the Big Leagues? Nobody from Whidbey Island has ever made it to the Big Leagues, although we’ve had some Big Leaguers living here. Wally Bunker, Baltimore Oriole pitcher, lived in Langley for a few years. Bruce Bochte, Seattle Mariners first basemen, lived along Maxwelton Creek. They’re gone. Modern baseball retirees favor golfing climes in Arizona and Florida. But the dream lives on in each generation and when South Whidbey Little League opens today there will be plenty of boys imagining they’re the next Derek Jeter, Matt Kemp or Felix Fernandez. Other boys and girls have soccer dreams, but those are relatively new. Soccer once was a P.E. demonstration sport, to show us how kids in the rest of the world had to live. They couldn’t afford socks, shoes, uniforms, mitts and bats, so they played with a single ball. Their families were lucky to own one bar of soap and that was saved for special religious rituals, so players could not use their hands. What a miserable hour of P.E. that was. For many of us, baseball is still what it’s all about. We’re happy it’s Opening Day of Little League. We envy the kids and parents who will be playing and watching in the rain and mud. Ten o’clock at the fields below Castle Park. Stop by for a hot dog, soak up some atmosphere and let the years slip away, if only for a moment. There’s only one time now: It’s time to play ball!

Indoor cats kept safe To the editor: Congratulations on your timely front page article April 3, “Cats vs. Birds.” Protecting cats — and thereby other creatures — by keeping cats leashed or in cat-proof outdoor areas is becoming accepted in many areas just as keeping dogs leashed/controlled became accepted by the 1960s. I do, however, think that this is not Cats vs. Birds so much as a mutual protection effort. The average lifespan of an indoor/protected cat is between 12 and 20 years; the average lifespan of a cat who roams freely is 2 to 3 years (www.paws.org/happy-indoor -cat.html). Dangers include

disease, cat fights, predation (from coyotes, dogs, owls, etc.), poison and accidents (including cars — I watched an Island County deputy sheriff removing a dead cat from Highway 525 two days ago and often see dead cats in roadside ditches). How can cats who are frightened or injured be “happy” outside? Cats also invade neighbors’ yards; as Whidbey becomes more crowded, this becomes more of an issue as it has in populated areas around the country. I hope that Island County will soon mandate the same restrictions for cats as for dogs to protect cats and our native birds, chipmunks, squirrels, lizards, etc. It was in 1949 that the first law (in Illinois) was passed to “…provide Protection to Insectivorous Birds by Restraining Cats.” Although that law was vetoed by the governor at the time, many places have since

Island County, said no decision was made yet but the county has the option of appealing to the division one Court of Appeals. He noted that before WEAN’s appeal, the county’s rules were found to be sufficient by the hearings board, a three-member panel of judges who specialize in land use law and are appointed by the governor. “The judge clearly disagreed with the panel of experts,” Mitchell said. The hearings board decides on issues revolving around the Growth Management Act of 1990; landmark legislation that aims to limit urban sprawl by keeping rural areas rural and urban areas urban. It established a series of requirements for municipalities, ranging from the creation of comprehensive plans to adoption of ordinances that protect five types of critical areas: wetlands, drinking water aquifer recharge, fish and wildlife habitat, frequently flooded and geologically hazardous areas. The legal battle between the county and WEAN has roots that stretch back to 1998 when the group challenged the county’s new comprehensive plan and other regulations adopted by the county. They have been duking it out in court ever since, with the latest bout focused on the adoption of new agricultural rules in 2006. The ordinance sought to exempt farms that existed before 1998 from having to comply with more stringent sections of its agricultural rules, which were adopted to satisfy requirements of the management act. Instead, grandfathered farmers would be allowed to develop a standard or custom “farm plan” based on

best management practices of the National Resources Conservation Services. The underlying foundation of WEAN’s argument is that the loose regulations allow livestock near wetlands or other water sources, and that it could result as a major source of pollution to Puget Sound. Wickham ruled that best management practices were not the same as best available science, the standard required under the Growth Management Act, because they were not designed to “protect” the “function and values” of critical areas nor give “special consideration” to the presence of salmon. Farm plans would not “provide a bench mark or base line to determine existing conditions until six or more years after implementation of the program” and allowing the landowner to select from a list of controls to modify or restrict agricultural practices provided “minimal oversight,” Wickham wrote. “There is no assurance that critical areas will be ‘protected’ by this methodology,” he wrote. In addition, the county “failed to adequately fund any oversight of the program” and the plans are exempt from public disclosure unless certain conditions are met, the judge wrote. While Wickham’s decision was clear, the issue is not over as it was remanded back to the hearings board. The county can appeal the decision to a higher court or comply and rework its existing rules. “The county is keeping all options on the table while it reviews the decision,” Mitchell said.

Holt saves the day, saves game, thwarts King’s Briefly Freeland man to hike Baker
By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Flexing and yelling loudly, Andrew Holt’s teammates mobbed him near the goal. And for good reason. Holt just saved the day after 90 minutes of physical soccer with no relief against King’s. South Whidbey’s senior goalie saved three shootout kicks and allowed none through four shots in the Falcons’ 1-0 win on Wednesday. “I knew if we went down 1-0 it’d be over,” Holt said. “I had to keep the playoff picture alive.” “That’s the best game I’ve ever coached,” said Falcon head coach Joel Gerlach. The late-game heroics came at the right time for South Whidbey. And it was fitting that the Falcons’ defense carried the team after a 5-1 handling by Archbishop Murphy the week earlier. Plus, with the school on spring break and a few players injured, South Whidbey started the match with only one reserve player, junior James Itaya. “Outside midfielders and midfielders, they really need subs because they’re running so hard all game,” said Falcon senior Cameron Coupe. “And that had an affect on why they started to put the pressure on.” A collision while going for a header knocked Falcon senior Darby Hayes, one of the team’s leading scorers, out of the game with a possible concussion. South Whidbey played the second half and two, five-minute bonus periods without a single substitution. Both teams bumped, slid and pushed each other. Late in the second bonus period, Falcon senior Stephen Lyons challenged Knights sophomore Cameron Duncan for the ball. As he went for the ball near the sideline, Lyons bumped into Duncan and knocked him to the turf. When Duncan stood up, he shoved Lyons and was given a yellow card — an official warning. King’s coach Aaron Harrington removed Duncan from the game for about one minute, but put him back in for penalty kicks before time ran out. “We weren’t getting really upset about it,” Coupe said. “We were the ones that would take it and they were getting mad, arguing with each other.

Knights forward Taylor Moe booted his shot low and to the right, forcing Holt to dive left. And Holt caught that one, too. Not one of the four nearly point-blank shots by King’s went by Holt. “That last one, I was just in the zone and went for it,” Holt said. The game belonged to Holt. He saved a penalty kick in the box by Duncan in the 75th minute to preserve the regulation shutout. “Usually I look at their plant foot because the direction it’s pointing is the direction they’ll kick,” Holt said. “But with that one, I just wanted to go right really bad and he happened to kick right.” The victory set up South Whidbey for a possible top seed in the District 1 tournament. Having beaten King’s twice and Coupeville once on the road, South Whidbey needs to beat Coupeville to own the Cascade Conference’s top 1A seed in the playoffs.

Chris Kesler will tackle all 10,781 feet of Mount Baker this summer. The Freeland man’s aim is more than standing atop one of Washington’s highest peaks. Kesler’s goal is to raise $5,000 for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Each year, the laboratory sponsors several fundraising climbs to Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, Mount Baker and other peaks. Last year, Kesler hiked Mount Adams with his work group, Bellevue-based Lydig Construction, raising $110,000. “Once again I have accepted the challenge to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer,” Kesler wrote in his hike announcement. The hike will be July 25-27. Six six other climbers will join Kesler’s attempt to summit Mount Baker, the third highest mountain in Washington. “As my favorite artist, Dave Mathews, says, ‘You gotta do much more than believe if you really want to change things,’” Kesler wrote. “I believe one in eight women shouldn’t have breast cancer as part of their lives. The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is all about this change.” Kesler set fundraising milestones of $3,000 by June 1 and full funding of $5,000 by July 28. Donations may be made on Kesler’s online page at http:// getinvolved.fhcrc.org/ site/TR?px=1381723&fr_ id=1260&pg=personal.

Paula Pugh lives with an open heart
By SUSAN KNICKERBOCKER Contributing writer
Paula Pugh has a way of bringing meaning and joy into people’s lives, be it through music, entertaining, equestrianship or teaching others how to be a friend. “I thought the only way to keep out more pain and rejection in my life was to create walls around my heart and keep relationships superficial,” said South Whidbey resident Sally Newman. “I figured if someone really cared about me they would climb over my walls or take them down. “Then many years ago I went to one of Paula’s workshops. I realized from Paula that my walls were blocking joy, love and life’s opportunities for me, and that no one could take down my walls but me. So I began slowly taking risks, little by little I created connections with others and found meaning in my life!” Pugh says she feels people have a deep yearning for a purpose and meaningful connections. “Even if I go to a party, I feel empty if I don’t get to know someone at a deeper level,” she said. “When we feel a need to build barriers it’s a poverty of spirit. It’s not easy to open up especially right after we have been rejected, betrayed or hurt in some way. It can take time. Instead of hardening our heart into depression and nastiness, let our heart break open slowly and move into worthy action. Gradually we can take small risks with people we feel safe with. I remember when I went on a trip with some relatives. We didn’t get along at all.
“Afterwards I never wanted to see them again — but time healed and we both reopened our hearts.” Pugh is in her living room, with her old dog Tabor while husband Jim is helping a neighbor. Many photos and remembrances grace the walls and shelves. A giant world map papers one of the walls. Pugh is passionate about helping others open up to people and celebrating special occasions. After her and husband Jim’s girls moved out, the empty nest started her searching for four years for what to do next. Then a friend gave her a book by Dr. Christine Northrup. “This book shook my world.” Pugh said. “I was fascinated with the scientific information as well as the rich intuitive courage to take personal power for ourselves. At this same time friends encouraged me to take facilitation training by local trainers Christine Baldwin and Ann Linnea.” Pugh said she found her purpose and a calling and began facilitating groups, workshops, retreats and later wrote a book to help others enrich and deepen their lives. “Paula always seems sort of surprised that people are so drawn to her,” said Greenbank horse enthusiast, Yvonne Billera. “That is part of her charm. People are drawn to her because she’s deeply interested in others and extending herself is the process that details her life.” Pugh, Linda Good and Linda Morris founded Island Strings, still going strong today, back in 1974.

Camano Search and Rescue claims unattended boat RECORD STAFF
Jim Larsen / The Record
South Whidbey Fire/EMS Deputy Chief Mike Cotton, third from left, walks up from the shores of Fox Spit with volunteers after deciding that Camano Island Fire and Rescue was better placed to haul in an abandoned boat floating in Saratoga Passage on Monday.
A tiny unattended boat floating between South Whidbey and Camano Island was hauled to shore by Camano Fire and Rescue. The call of a boat adrift was made around noon Monday to South Whidbey Fire/EMS, which responded to the private Whidbey Shores boat launch at Fox Spit. A small boat could be seen floating far away, nearer the shores of Camano Island. Mike Cotton, assistant chief of South Whidbey Fire/EMS, said its rescue boat was literally in the shop. Firefighters eventually responded with a water jet rescue unit but it was left on the trailer. Levon Yengoyan, assistant chief of Camano Island Fire and Rescue, said South Whidbey called and asked for assistance. “We’re always happy to help each other out,” he said. Camano sent out a crew in a 19-foot Bullhead rescue boat
and found what Yengoyan described as “a little paddle boat,” about 8-feet long with no markings. The rescue team searched for people in the water but found none. “It’d been it the water quite a while. We towed it to shore and moved it to the station,” Yengoyan said.

thousands of Whidbey children music and self-confidence. Good writes of Pugh, “Paula has volunteered so much in our community as a musician, bookkeeper, treasurer, public relations person, advisory committees, counselor for families having problems, this is just a few. She was comforting for us when my brother and then mother died. I have always valued her insights and know she is there if I need someone to talk with.”
Pugh remarks that we are all learners and teachers. She had just returned two days prior from volunteering in Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic, at a school for children. “They have material poverty, but not poverty of spirit that I could see,” she said. “For instance they all hug one another, even strangers; to them a handshake is too formal. I got so much more than I gave. This was a very worthwhile experience. I felt useful the entire time.” When she speaks she looks into the visitor’s eyes, as if touching through sight. She notes, “Not all ventures we get ourselves into feel that way. I have spent

time on a project where it didn’t come to fruition. I could look at these as failures, but I really see them as opportunities. I don’t believe in failures. There is that acronym AFGO: ‘Another friggin’ growth opportunity’.” She laughs and says AFGO helps to lighten the situation. “Seriously though our culture has a tendency to look at failure rather than what we accomplish,” she said. “We focus on the three words misspelled rather than the 17 correct ones.” She says this doesn’t mean she wouldn’t change some things or that she doesn’t have any regrets. “While my children were small I wish I had been more present and had better patience. When they were little, I wanted to be the best mother, but I had to work at nurturing. It didn’t come naturally to me. I suppose most of us, not all, try our best at the skills we have at the time, and I am so fortunate that we are best of friends with both our grown girls. They inspire me.” It is Pugh who inspires many on South Whidbey.
Jenny Gochanour, a teacher, enthused, “Paula is an inspiration to me in so many ways! She is a fine musician, writer, artist, friend, mother, horsewoman and Ping-Pong player. I admire her grace, gracious hospitality and sense of gratitude. When she sees a need, she doesn’t sit around complaining or waiting for someone else to fill it — she finds the people or resources to get the ball rolling or takes the job upon herself. “Whether it is a church care group needing an organizer, a high school orchestra needing a conductor, a group of friends needing ideas for more healthful living, a book in her heart needing to be shared, or a retiring conductor deserving a magnificent send-off, Paula never shies away from taking on a challenge,” Gochanour said. She recalls that once, as a young woman facing an important life decision, Pugh took the time to write her a note — not suggesting what she should do, but instead See Hero, A15

Up close and personal Your favorite song? “I first fell in love with ‘On Eagles’ Wings’ when I heard South Whidbey musician Karl Olsen sing it, and it always brings me to tears. ‘You shall dwell in the shelter of the Lord, Who Abide in His Shadow for life. Say to the Lord, My Refuge. My Rock in whom I trust. And he will Raise you up on Eagles’ Wings, and make you shine like the sun.’” What is one of the hardest things in life you went through? “Watching my sister die of cancer at age 52.” What is class? “Seeing the inside of everyone. Treating everyone with the same dignity if they step out of a limousine or are homeless on the street.” What question would you ask God? “Why the reason for suffering? Why do children not all have enough food and love? Why the need for wars? I don’t understand.” What inanimate object would you like to be for a day? “I don’t think anything is truly inanimate, everything has molecules, everything was made by God or a human for a purpose, and it’s all made out of materials from the world.” What book would you like to write someday? “I just wrote it, titled ‘Celebrating and Beginnings and Endings, Mark the Moment Book 1.’” What is something a lot do not know about you? “I am afraid to throw anything out. I may need it one day; also I have emotional attachments to everything. Maybe this is a scarcity problem, it could just be a flaw.” Your favorite book? “My favorite book changes all the time, but recently I read, ‘When Helping Hurts’ (Corbett and Fikkert). I think this is an important book for all who volunteer or do mission work. Also the book ‘Proof of Heaven’ (Alexander), where a hard core scientist, neurologist, unbeliever went into a coma and felt heaven.”

sharing her own life experience and asking key questions that she might consider to help her reach a decision. Pugh said helping someone adds meaning to one’s own life, and helping them find their purpose is the most fulfilling thing we can do, if only we can remain open to life. “I remember a time I was in a workshop and the moderator asked us to do something, that inside I was poo-pooing and thought silly. I reluctantly did the exercise and to my surprise I got an important experience from it. I almost missed that opportunity by not being open at first, Pugh said. “If I could give advice it would be to open your heart. If you are not sure what your place is in life at this time, remember there is a place for you. “No one has your gifts or talents; no one else has your unique set of skills or life experience. Unlocking them may take time, but you will find it. I beg each of you to remain open, and not to hide your light, but let it shine so that all of us will benefit from your contribution.” South Whidbey knows of Paula Pugh because her light has shined on so many.
What they say about Paula “Paula is one of those people who always goes that extra bit. She often will bake something special, or add a little touch to the house when we play music. Yes, we’re still playing together … guess it’s been around 40 years. She does this even on days when she is tired or very busy. She seems to take it in stride; perhaps it’s very good organizational skills, or a knack for caring for others, or both!” – Linda Morris, Island Strings co-founder “Paula was the first person to invite my husband and me to dinner when we had just moved to the island in 1973. During the 40 years since then, she and Jim have welcomed more island newcomers into their home than one can count! She’s a wonderful hostess who makes dinner parties appear effortless and welcomes all with open arms from children to dignitaries. Paula is a people magnet with multiple talents, one of which is teaching. Hundreds of islanders have benefited from her exuberant, positive, embracing teaching style whether the subject is violin playing, Lamaze childbirth, women’s wellness
WWW.SouThWhidbeyRecoRd.com
or love and acceptance. Another one of her talents is her brainstorming ability, thus the nickname: ‘Idea queen.’ Have a problem? She can probably solve it!” – Kathy Fox, piano instructor, B&B owner “Paula and Jim Pugh have been our neighbors for about 40 years now. When she and Linda Good and Linda Morris founded Island Strings there was no room for them to have students at the school, so Jim made a portable, cute, little cottage classroom. As their little girls and my little girl and boy grew up together, my daughter Heather said to them, ‘One day you will play your violins for my wedding.’ And sure enough, when Heather was married to Willy in our back yard, Paula and her two girls played beautiful string music for the
Page A15
wedding, accompanied by our chickens. Loudon and I feel very blessed that we have Paula and Jim for our friends and neighbors.” – Diane and Loudon Fraser, neighbors “You may remember the lyrics of the ’70s folksong, ‘It only takes a spark to get a fire going, and then, all those around are warmed up by its glowing.’ That describes Paula Pugh — she is the spark, and the warmth created is that of community. Her affable, affirming way of encouraging folks plan together for their mutual goals takes the drab out of organizing. Paula’s complementary skills of teaching, organizing and community building have enriched the lives of our family and of the entire community.” – Donna Humphreys, volunteer
“Paula is an amazing woman, multi-talented, always doing and learning new things, continually challenges herself, is a loving, deeply caring and supportive friend to many people, a wonderful hostess, truly hospitable in so many ways. She is an author, teacher, small group leader, singer, violinist, horsewoman, sailor (with her ever supportive partner, Jim) and very active within the Langley UMC. I believe Paula is a true Renaissance woman!” – BJ Elliot, volunteer “Paula is an inspiration to all who have the good fortune to come into her presence. She impacts sage wisdom with compassion and humor. She is an enlightened
