Operator drops pursuit of Holmes Harbor Golf Course Parks district considers running greens By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter

Gordon and Shirley Simmons, seated, have sold their business to their daughter, Sonya Simmons, and her husband Gary Peterson. Pedro, in Gary’s arm, will keep his job as garage mascot.
Simmons Garage stays in the family By JIM LARSEN Record editor The long transition from Simmons Garage to Simmons Garage is complete in Clinton. The garage and associated tow truck business have been mainstays in the downtown Clinton community for decades. Now, there’s certainty it will be in Simmons hands for many years to come. Gordon and Shirley Simmons have completed sale of their business to
daughter Sonya Simmons and her husband, Gary Peterson. The transition will be smooth as it’s already happened. Sonya said Gary has been working at the garage for 22 years. “He’s the one who will really be running it,” she said. Not that Sonya is a stranger to her father’s garage. She started working there at age 11, pumping gas and washing cars. “I used the money to buy my first horse,” she said. After graduating from high school
in 1980, she went on to earn a degree at the University of Puget Sound. She met Gary, a Burien native, in a rather unusual fashion. “We met on a blind date in a 10K run,” she said. It resulted in a long run of married life, including daughter Makenzie, a student at Linfield College and Jonathan, a sophomore at South Whidbey High School. To say that Gordon and Shirley Simmons are institutions in the rural SEE SIMMONS, A6
Mum’s the word about a deal to operate long tee-less Holmes Harbor Golf Course that fell through. Patrick Kent of Seattle said he could not comment on his proposed deal to run the greens and pro shop at Holmes Harbor Golf Course, other than he was no longer pursuing it. “That’s about all I can give you at this point,” Kent said. In April, he briefly spoke with the Holmes Harbor Sewer District board. He told them he had a business plan and was excited to work out a deal with current owners Kevin Hanchett and Mike Cooper for the maintenance facility. The three-party deal between the owners, the sewer district and Kent fell through after Kent withdrew his proposal. At the time of his first appearance before the sewer board and in an interview with The Record, he proposed a communitycentered course. While still privately-owned, it was not
“I do not expect that the course is open this year.” Stan Walker, Holmes Harbor Sewer District
planned to be an exclusive club like South Whidbey’s other 18-hole course, Useless Bay Golf & Country Club. Left without a course operator, the sewer district is left mowing and managing the drainage of the course, which operates as the irrigation system for the golf course homes’ treated wastewater. “We have no other operator lined up to do that,” said Stan Walker, president of the Holmes Harbor Sewer District. “We’re back to square one.” The district planned to purchase the golf course property and let someone else operate it while paying the annual $70,000 in maintenance costs for the grounds. “We are not going to give up on this until we are absolutely certain of our course,” Walker said.

Islanders get a taste of tornado in Oklahoma By JIM LARSEN Record editor

Linda and Leonard Good try out a relative’s tornado shelter in Oklahoma. The guitar symbolize’s Leonard’s boyhood in Oklahoma. At 6 years old, he was in a tornado shelter when a man started playing the guitar.
Leonard and Linda Good returned home safely to South Whidbey after a harrowing visit to Oklahoma. The were visiting relatives in Norman, Okla., when the infamous big one hit Monday, about 10 miles away in what is now the devastated city of Moore. The Goods were caught up in the same drama as everyone else in that part of Oklahoma, watching the skies and the television to find out if a tornado may be coming their way. From the front porch of where they were staying, the Goods could see the threatening skies, lightning and bright flashes as transformers blew in the distance. For TV drama, they could watch local reporters. Linda, a Suzuki-method violin teacher for decades, took notes during the real-life drama. “It’s sucking us in, we’re pull-
ing it away,” shouted a TV reporter from a helicopter. “Do not think — go!,” a TV anchor told his audience. “Get underground right now!” “I thought that was great,” said Linda of the job the reporters did. She also took note of, “Tornado on the ground! Killer tornado!” Leonard took a scientific interest in the cloud formations and resulting tornadoes, as he has been a popular South Whidbey science teacher for years. He is locally famous for his experiments that made learning fun for kids. He published a book of them. Even today when he’s “retired,” kids still come to his house for science lessons. “We could see the darkness, like in the land of Mordor … and flashing,” Leonard said. He took pictures of “mammatus” SEE TORNADO, A6

Discovery Place shed fires damages home RECORD Staff

Bicyclists hit the rollers at the new pump track May 19 at Community Park.
dirt rollers draw crowd South Whidbey likes to play on dirt. Some 50 people turned out for the opening of a pump track at South Whidbey Community Park last weekend. Ceremonially unveiling the park was the culmination of a project by Blake Deilke, an eighth-grade student at Whidbey Island Waldorf School. He proposed the track of dirt rollers and sloped turns, about the length of the adjacent skate park, and implemented its creation with the help of David Gardiner, owner of Half Link Bicycle Shop.
Park commissioners Don Wood, Matt Simms and Jim Porter presented plaques of appreciation to Gardiner and Blake in recognition of their leadership, volunteerism and work on the construction of the pump track. The two biking enthusiasts demonstrated the pump track’s use to the crowd Sunday, pumping up and down the rollers and circling the track without pedaling. Afterward a train of bikes circled the track with 17 riders in the train, setting the mark for most riders at one time circling the track.
A fire that started in a shed spread to part of the nearby house on Discovery Place near the Useless Bay Golf & Country Club on May 19. The column of smoke was visible for miles, and first responders arrived to find flames from a shed reaching higher than the residents’ two-story home, and the home on fire. South Whidbey Fire/EMS officials estimated firefighting efforts by both citizens and firefighters protected 75 percent of the home and approximately 85 percent of the residents’ contents. The first fire engine arrived on scene within nine minutes of being dispatched that afternoon. A total of 25 South Whidbey Fire/EMS volunteer responders and four personnel from Central Whidbey Fire worked at the
incident. Central Whidbey Fire personnel were called to provide South Whidbey responders with some relief due to the widespread efforts made to protect the home from further damage. Residents and neighbors did what they could to help the first responders, providing them with important information and extinguishing efforts. Efforts by emergency responders at the scene

School leaders did not expect Kramer, notorious for shying away from publicity, to attend the party. “He really does want to slip out the back,” said Superintendent Jo Moccia. “I fully expect he will not attend.” Kramer stepped down from coaching the boys and girls tennis teams in the 2011-12 school year.

South Whidbey Fire/ EMS has smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are available at no charge to local residents. These units are paid for by a Department of Homeland Security FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Fire Prevention Grant. Residents interested in obtaining a detector can visit their local fire station on the first Tuesday of each month between 7 and 8 p.m. According to the National Fire Protection
Association, the risk of a house fire resulting in a fatality is cut in half by having at least one working smoke alarm in the home. In addition to having a working smoke detector, all members of the household should know their escape routes and have a designated meeting place. Practicing a home fire escape drill makes everyone more prepared to safely respond to a real fire. Smoke detectors should be tested monthly and replaced every 10 years. Carbon monoxide units notify residents if carbon monoxide reaches an unsafe level within a home and it should be evacuated. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless toxic gas generated from incomplete combustion within fuel burning appliances and automobiles. “Carbon monoxide detectors should be installed on each floor and maintained in those homes that use propane, have a generator, or an attached garage,” said South Whidbey Fire/EMS Deputy Chief Jon Beck. For additional information, visit www.swfe. org and select “Smoke and CO Detectors.” More information may also be found by following South

Using this method will allow members of the public an opportunity to provide concentrated and comprehensive feedback, including noise complaints, according to a NAS Whidbey news release. Noise complaints from residents near the Navy’s Outlying Field near Coupeville have been of particular concern recently. Email is the preferred process for comments as it gives people an opportunity to expound on their issue or concern, allows people to use a variety of communication devices and is more efficient to monitor, according to base officials. The new phone number for this service, including noise complaints or concerns, is 360-257-6665. Comments can also be emailed to comments.NASWI@navy. mil.

Editorial
Don’t forget to honor our vets Memorial Day weekend is a busy time for families, but they should never forget the meaning of the holiday. It’s more than just picnics, camping and family fun. Hurry to Coupeville this morning for reliving traditional America when virtually every town had a Memorial Day Parade. Coupeville is one of perhaps two towns in this entire state that keeps that tradition alive, with a parade every Saturday before Memorial Day. It’s great for the kids to see our five remaining Pearl Harbor Survivors riding in VIP cars, veterans from World War II, Korea, the Gulf War, Iraq War and Afghanistan War marching up Main Street and down Front Street, all accompanied by community parade entries. The parade begins at 11 a.m. and picnic after in Town Park is just as memorable with patriotic music, solemn speeches and free hot dogs. On Memorial Day itself, South Whidbey has two fine services, both starting at 11 a.m. U.S. flags will be fluttering over the graves of veterans as their service is honored at the Clinton Cemetery and Bayview Cemetery. Wreaths, speeches and associated formalities take place in front of veterans still living, service members still serving, family members who have lost loved ones who died for their country, or people who simply want to express their appreciation by attending a service. The volunteers who keep these services alive should be commended. It’s hard, often thankless work to put on a ceremony, and frankly not a lot of people attend. But they do it for love of country, community and family, and their efforts should be appreciated. All it takes is your attendance, which requires taking an hour’s break from family activities and driving out to the Bayview or Clinton cemeteries. Memorial Day is a proud time, a sad time and a happy time. Kids, particularly, should be given the chance to experience it all at a young age. Parents might also inform their children that the roots of Memorial Day go back to the Civil War, after which those who died were honored on Decoration Day in cemeteries all over America. It’s a tradition worth passing on, even if it does interrupt a little fun.

Relay for Life would like help To the editor: Just as the effects of a challenging economy are felt by families in every community, cancer, too, has a far-reaching impact. No matter how the stock market is performing or what the current unemployment rate may be, there are still many people battling a cancer diagnosis and many others who are lending support alongside loved ones every day. These realities make the dollars donated and volunteer hours devoted to the American Cancer Society—a part of Whidbey Island for many years—critically important. Local volunteers are a huge part of a nationwide effort to save lives from cancer, but additional people are needed for the progress to continue. Plans are being finalized for the society’s annual fundraiser, Relay For Life, which will be held at North Whidbey Middle School, Oak Harbor on May 31 and June 1. The money raised at Relay for Life enables the American Cancer Society to deliver on its mission of helping people stay well, helping people get well, finding cures and fighting back against the disease. Relay provides the society with money to support vital, cutting-edge cancer research, such as Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle; provides cancer patients

Departure anxiety To the editor: The departure of Dr. Scott Mauk from our South Whidbey school system is unfortunate. That it follows on the earlier departures of Jamie Boyd, another respected administrator, is cause for concern. If these educators were the proverbial “dead wood,” or occupied positions that could no longer be financially sustained, it would be one thing, but both are highly esteemed in the community. Indeed, as head of the alternative Bayview High School for many years and

more recently assistant principal of the high school, Dr. Mauk may be considered one of South Whidbey’s most creative, dedicated and beloved educators. The public response of shock and dismay from ordinary citizens, parents and students at Dr. Mauk’s departure ought to be a signal to anyone who cares about our schools that something is amiss. There are those more knowledgeable about these events than I who say that the administrative decisions prompting these resignations may serve as a sign to other administrators and teachers that they had best keep their heads on their desks. I don’t know to what degree this is true. But as one whose career in education spans 50 years as a teacher, administrator, teacher educator and school board chair, I know that in challenging times harsh action can pass for strength, and fear can trump the collective imagination that is most needed. Why did these administrators leave? Why did not a single board member even raise a question when they approved Dr. Mauk’s resignation? The Whidbey school system has many structural challenges at this time. Ironically, it is precisely at times like this that wee need our most creative people. When our finest educators depart, it is the responsibility of all of us — and especially our school board members who represent us — to pay attention. LARENT A. PARKS DALOZ, Ed.D Clinton

Raised in Oklahoma, he joined others in a shelter when a tornado passed nearby in 1946 when he was six. His dad, a professor at the university, took him to see the damage at an airfield it hit. “There were piles of wrecked airplanes — we had a ball,” he chuckled. In those days, there were no authorities to keep people away.
community best known for its ferry dock is an understatement. Shirley kept the books and could always be seen behind her glass-enclosed office when customers came in to pay for gas, peruse auto parts or see a mechanic. “I did the money since 1977,” she said this week. “And I kept an eye on everyone.” It was in 1977 that Gordon bought out his partner, brother Mel, and Simmons Garage was all his and Shirley’s. “We’d been together 30 years,” Gordon recalled. Mel passed away a few years ago. This week the sale to his daughter and her husband became final. “We’ve been in transition the past couple of years,” Sonya said. “Very much so,” Gordon replied when asked if he was satisfied with the deal. “We kept it in the family. “We got what it was worth, it’s a going concern.”

Golfers play through comrade’s state scratch JV soccer finishes perfect in league play By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
Hannah Cotton can’t catch a break, but she can catch a sprain. The Falcon senior golfer sprained her ankle the night before the state 1A tournament she was slated to play in May 21. A swollen ankle knocked her out of play, making room for some lucky girl. Last year, Cotton missed the 2A District 1 tournament because she injured her shoulder. Cotton was relegated to a cheerleader as she watched her teammates Jenna Kaik and Rosie Portillo carry the South Whidbey banner at Lake Spanaway Golf Course. “That took an emotional impact on the girls,” said Falcon head coach Tom Sage. “This was (Cotton’s) senior year. She had to endure a 200-mile trip for a one-hole playoff at district, qualified at tri-district and then couldn’t play.” “That first round, it weighed heavily on Jenna the most.” Only Kaik advanced to the second round May 22. The senior shot a qualifying score of 91 strokes in the first round on the par-72 course and was in 16th place. That was nine strokes higher than Kaik’s lowest score, an 82 she tallied during the 1A District 1 tournament at North Bellingham Golf Course. The top golfer, Madisen Bently from Life Christian Academy, finished round one with a 71. Kaik beat the cutoff mark by two strokes. She finished the tournament after a second-round score of 88 put her in 12th place.
By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter South Whidbey soccer had an-earlier-than-expected exit from the playoffs. There’s a silver lining for Falcon fütbol fans, though, and it’s in the future. The junior varsity Falcon team smashed its Cascade Conference opponents en route to an 11-0 record, 13-0 overall. South Whidbey’s JV squad won the league for the second year in a row, both under coach Emerson “Skip”
Robbins. Here comes the insanity of the young Falcons’ feat. They racked up 97 goals and allowed only seven scores all season. For the statistician, that’s about .54 goals per game allowed. The top scorer was Kai Da Rosa with 24 goals and 14 assists. Second in goals scored was Lucas Fulton with 21 goals. Da Rosa, Lucas Leiberman, Kameron Donohoe, Jordan Henriot and Jeff Meier led the team in assists.

Falcon senior Jenna Kaik and sophomore Rosie Portillo celebrate the end of their season at the state 1A girls golf tournament May 21-22. Portillo, a sophomore, missed the cut by two strokes and a score of 95. She tied for 21st with two other golfers and cheered on her teammate during the second round. Driving proved a major impediment to Portillo. Her shots pulled right, left and seemingly every direction but the straight ball she wanted. “I didn’t feel I golfed my best,” she said. “I had a hard day.” The round finished poorly for her, too. On the final hole, she aimed her drive left only to watch it hook right. Once she got on the green, it took three
Briefly Freeland man to hike Mount Baker for charity 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 and Mount Baker, as well as others.
putts to sink the ball and end her round. “Rosie played a good game, that’s just the way it goes,” Sage said. “When you’re good, it comes down to a couple strokes.” South Whidbey finished its girls golf season as the Cascade Conference champions, 1A District 1 champions and tri-district champions. “To get a team in (the state tournament) is very difficult,” Sage said. Only Woodland High School finished with two golfers in the second round and four overall, allowing it to win the state 1A team title.
Last year, Kesler hiked Mount Adams with his work group, Bellevue-based Lydig Construction. The group raised $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 and six other climbers will joint Kesler’s attempt to summit Mount Bake, 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 1 in 8 women shouldn’t have breast cancer as part of their lives.

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. As of May 24, Kesler raised almost half his goal at $2,975.

South Whidbey to host all-star tournament Lots of Little Leaguers will swarm South Whidbey this summer. South Whidbey Little League was selected to host the District 11 9/10-yearold All-Star tournament. Six other leagues
are in the district with South Whidbey. “It benefits our league directly through added concessions as well as giving our team a fun, home field boost,” said Jeff Daly, president of South Whidbey Little League. The tournament will consist of 13 games spread over seven days from June 29 to July 5. Volunteers are needed to manage the scorebook, announce, pitch count/scoreboard operation (remote control from the comfort of the scorer’s booth) and several people to help with concessions. To sign up, visit http://www.volunteerspot.com/login/ entry/4864964640103. Direct questions to Daly by calling 360661-6025 or emailing swllpresident@gmail. com.

Farmer added to conservations Futures board By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Central Whidbey farmer Sarah Richards was appointed to the Conservation Futures Citizen Advisory Board last week.
Richards was selected by unanimous 2-0 vote of the Island County Board of Commissioners to fill one of two positions for the Coupeville School District area. Richards was not present

at the meeting but said in a later interview that she was excited about the appointment. “I’m really looking forward to serving with the board and continuing the good work that’s on gone before,” Richards said. The Conservation Futures Fund is a state authorized and optional property tax. The money is used to purchase open space, farmland, agricultural land, and timber
land for conservation purposes. Richards owns and operates a lavender farm just north of Coupeville and a store in town. She currently serves on the Whidbey Island Conser vation District’s Board of Supervisors, and is a former member of the Northwest Agricultural Business Center’s board of directors and a past president of the Coupeville Chamber of

Commerce. Coupeville resident Gary Wray also applied for the position and Commissioner Helen Price Johnson thanked him for his interest but cast her vote for Richards largely for her farming experience. “It is with that agricultural background that has moved me to recommend her as the appointee for that position,” Price Johnson said. Wray, who at times was a vocal critic of board proposals such as 2010’s failed proposition 1, is president of the Skagit Island Counties Building Association, past president of Island County Habitat for Humanity, and a member of the Island County Housing Authority and Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers. In his letter of interest, Wray said, “A high percentage of Island County taxpayers would like to see
Conservation Futures tax sunsetted or eliminated. I would be the voice for these citizens on the board.” Commissioner Jill Johnson said her preference was to support Wray. Experience in the development industry and a perspective on the future uses of protected lands is something Johnson said she would like to see more of on the advisory committee. Johnson said Richards was an excellent candidate, too, and agreed to support Price Johnson’s recommendation as the seat represents a geographical area within the District 1 boundaries. “I respect your choice,” Johnson said. “I think Sarah Richards brings a lot to the table; she’s very involved in her community.” Board Chairwoman Kelly Emerson was out of state and did not participate in the meeting.

County’s election filing ends, special period set RECORD STAFF Only the South Whidbey School District on Whidbey Island will be holding a primary election in August, while the many other local offices open will wait for November to appear on the ballot. Some positions attracted no interest, necessitating a special filing period next month. Here are the final filings made during the regular filing period with the Island County Auditor’s Office. Port of South Whidbey Commissioner: Curt Gordon and Ed Jenkins filed for position 3. In the City of Langley, all candidates are guaranteed a job barring a write-in campaign in November. Fred McCarty filed for mayor; Rene Neff filed for position 1; Margot James filed for position 2; and Thomas Gill filed for position 5. South Whidbey School District: Fred O’Neal filed for position 2; Miriam Coates, Betty Bond and Rocco Gianni filed for position 5, necessitating a primary election on Aug. 6. South Whidbey Fire/EMS: Kenon Simmons filed for position 2. South Whidbey Parks and Recreation: Mark Helpenstell
filed for position 2; Captn Blynd and Bob Hezel, Jr., filed for position 3; Matt Simms filed for position 5. Clinton Water District: Roy Simmons filed for position 1. Holmes Harbor Water District: Tom White filed for position 3; Jens Rivera filed for position 4. Freeland Water and Sewer District: Marilyn Abrahamson filed for position 1. Lagoon Point Water District: Robert VonDrachek and Ken Peterson filed for position 2; Robert Rogers and Bob Vierra filed for position 4. Saratoga Water District: Clancy Overturf filed for position 3. Scatchet Head Water District: E.C. “Duffy” Schoeler and David White filed for position 2. Main Street Sewer (Freeland): Ken Fisk filed for position 1; Mary Margaret Stern filed for position 2; C. Mark Brown filed for position 3. The conclusion of filing week May 17 saw nobody filing for candidacy for 14 offices throughout Whidbey Island. Because of those empty seats, the Island County Auditor’s Office is opening a special filing period for three days. The special filing period goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, June 3 through Wednesday, June 5.
Of the 14 offices that lack candidate, one is the Coupeville School Board Position 2 seat that is apparently being vacated by Jeff Tasoff. He didn’t file for re-election last week. Another vacancy is the Position 4 seat on the Whidbey General Hospital Board that is being vacated by Roger Case, who announced he will resign from his seat effective June 15. The remaining dozen empty seats are on the various water district boards located throughout Island County. Michele Reagan, deputy for the Island County Auditor’s Office, said people can only file for the 14 vacant positions and not the other seats that are up for election in 2013. While the auditor’s office offered an online option during the regular filing period, people interested in the vacant seats will have to file in person at the elections office located on North Main Street, Coupeville. If nobody files for the empty seats by the end of the special filing period, then they won’t appear on the November ballot. Nobody would be able to write in a candidate’s name for those empty seats either, Reagan said. It would then be up to the elected board to appoint a replacement, who would then serve until the next general election.

by the attorneys for Bruce Montgomery, a pharmaceutical magnate who claims the small piece of property as his own. Island County officials filed the lawsuit for ejectment and quiet title, declaratory relief and to abate a public nuisance in March after years of investigation. The controversy began more than five years ago when Montgomery built a rock wall at the end of Wonn Road, which is adjacent to his waterfront home. Montgomery claimed he owns the beach property. Members of the community were upset at losing scarce public access to the water. The late Glenn Russell, a Greenbank artist, claimed that the area was always public and was once the head of the long-gone Greenbank Wharf.

In court Monday, Jamila Johnson of the law firm Schwabe, Williamson and Wyatt cited arguments in support of the motion to change venue. According to Island County Chief Civil Deputy Dave Jamieson, Johnson argued that, under state law, the lawsuit should have been filed in a neighboring county because Island County is the plaintiff. Johnson also argued that “the judge cannot be impartial because county commissioners set the budget for the courts,” Jamieson said. Jamieson, however, said he disagrees. He argues that the case didn’t meet the statutory grounds for change of venue. “I don’t think the judge would have trouble being impartial just because the commissioners fund the court,” he said. Montgomery’s attorney, however, won the argument. Jamieson said the case will be concluded, if it isn’t settled first, with a bench trial. That means a Skagit County Superior Court judge, not a jury, will weigh the evidence and enter a decision.

You go to a football game to watch the kids in the community play, so why not go to a concert to hear your community play? That’s the analogy used by Jim Lux, president of the Whidbey Orchestra, in urging people to attend its final concert of the season at 7 p.m. Friday, May 31, at Trinity Lutheran Church, Highway 525 and Woodard Avenue in Freeland. And unlike a high school football game, you don’t have to pay to hear this 35-member orchestra. Donations are accepted, but those involved play for the pure joy of making music together. The orchestra dates back more than two decades under various leaders. Lux said the present musical director, Debbie Knight, is doing a good job working with the wide range of talent, ages and instruments available in the community. “Basically you show up and you play,” Lux said, describing how to get involved with the orchestra. A brass man himself as a trumpet player, he’d like to see a larger brass section. But there’s always room for more strings and winds, he added. The orchestra has three sessions each year, ending each with a concert in the late fall, late winter and late spring before taking a summer break. Practices are held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. each Thursday at South Whidbey High School.
Concert-goers will hear an eclectic range of music, assuring there will be something to appeal to anyone’s musical tastes. There are concertos by Vivaldi, part of a Mozart symphony, and even music from “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” among other selections. Lux is in his third year with the orchestra but the May 31 presentation won’t be just another concert for him. It’ll be his first opportunity to direct the orchestra, in John Philip Sousa’s rousing “Stars and Stripes Forever.” “I’ve never conducted before,” he said, his voice giving away a little nervousness. “It’s a lot more than standing there and waving your arms around.” Lux said ages of musicians in the orchestra range from 9 to 83. “Eighty to 90 percent are ‘comeback players,’” he said, meaning people who played in their younger years, gave it up, and then came back. He’s a good example as he came back to playing the trumpet after a 35-year interlude. He plays in smaller groups as well, but they just can’t match the musical experience of an

The Clinton Cemetery now boasts a welcoming sign and information kiosk constructed as an Eagle Scout project. At left is one of the two benches that comprised another Eagle Scout project. The public will have a good chance to view the new additions at the 11 a.m. Memorial Day ceremony.
Clinton Cemetery improvements made by the Eagle Scout candidates can be seen at the Memorial Day service 11 a.m. Monday, May 27. Guest speaker will be Whidbey Island resident Trisha Hallgren, retired United States Air Force senior master sergeant E-8. The cemetery is located next to St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, 6309 Wilson Place, Clinton. South Whidbey’s other Memorial Day service will take place at 11 a.m. May 27 at Bayview Cemetery. It traditionally involves the South Whidbey American Legion and its auxiliaries, the Marines and a lunch at the Legion hall following the ceremonies.
Boy Scouts give new look to old Clinton Cemetery By Grace SwanSon Contributing writer After countless hours and lots of hard work, Boy Scouts Steven Smith and Brent Piehler are close to accomplishing their goal. They are just a few steps away from achieving the highest ranking in Boy Scouts, Eagle Scout. The “eagle” has almost landed. Sophomore Steven Smith has been involved in Boy Scouts for five years. For his project, Smith built two benches for the cemetery in Clinton. The project took several weeks to complete. A handful of people helped each time during the four work parties he held. Smith feels that his Eagle Scout project will benefit the community. “It will be a lot better for people who go to visit their loved ones,” Smith said. “Before there weren’t any benches at all. So older people that come and visit can have a place to sit down.” Smith has learned the value of leadership through his project. “Being a leader is a lot more than bossing people around,” Smith said. Smith had to talk with people to get funding for his project. This was achieved through fundraisers as well as donations. To get an Eagle Scout project approved, a scout must first get their local troop together and present an idea. The troop can give input on what can be improved as well as changes. After the troop’s approval, the scout goes up to the district council to present his idea there. After approval from the district council, the scout can then begin his

Steven Smith, above, and Brent Piehler are close to becoming Eagle Scouts thanks to there work at the Clinton Cemetery. project. Smith thought of the idea for benches during a Memorial Day flag raising in the Clinton Cemetery last year. He noticed that there was no seating. Boy Scouts have played a major role in Smith’s life.
“It builds character,” Smith said. “It helps you develop leadership skills and figure out what you like to do.” Smith also believes that Boy Scouts has helped him try new things that he might have otherwise not tried at all. Sophomore Brent Piehler also completed his Eagle Scout project in the Clinton Cemetery. He built a sign and information kiosk to give the history of the cemetery. Piehler feels his project will benefit the community. “Before, nobody knew where the Clinton Cemetery was,” Piehler said. “When the
Boy Scouts went down there on Veterans Day to raise the flag, nobody knew it was there because there was just a mailbox with ‘Clinton Cemetery’ on the side. Now you can see it from the road.” Piehler’s project has taught him a valuable life lesson. “It’s important to give back to the community instead of just accepting,” Piehler said. It has given him leadership skills as well. Piehler organized two work parties to complete his project. The project took about two months to complete, around 52 hours. He says that completing the project means a lot to him. Boy Scouts has provided Piehler with many important skills that can benefit him as a person as well as the community, he said. “You can give back and you can do community service time,” Piehler said. “To become an Eagle Scout you have to do over five hours of community service time.” Roy Simmons, Clinton Cemetery committee president, said that Smith’s and Piehler’s projects have benefited the cemetery and he expressed appreciation for their efforts. The Clinton Cemetery, run by a non-profit organization, has been a churchyard cemetery outside St. Peter’s Lutheran Church a little over 100 years. Projects like Piehler’s and Smith’s can update the cemetery as well as help improve it. Now people have a place to sit and can see the name from the road. Their projects not only help the boys achieve their Eagle Scout rankings, but help families for years to come.

Fabric Goddess is put in place Friday by its creator, Fine Gelfand, to welcome people to this weekend’s Surface Design Show at Zech Hall.
Goddess beckons art buyers to WicA RecoRd staff A new visitor to Langley this weekend is affectionately called “Fiber Goddess,” and her sole job is to draw attention to the Whidbey Island Surface Design show taking place both days at WICA’s Zech Hall. After the lovely goddess beckons visitors inside the hall, they will find the works of 17 artists in a wide variety of mediums and subject matter. Some is wall art, some is wearable art, some is home decor and some is jewelry, to mention a few. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday. “We wanted something to attract people to the site,” said Fine Gelfand, a textile artist who took it upon herself to create Fiber Goddess out of nothing but fencing material surrounded by chicken wire stuffed fabric. “At least 2,000 pieces of fabric strips I tied to the chicken wire.” Still, the Fabric Goddess was missing something, so Gelfand turned to here husband, Jerry, an electronics wizard, who added strobe light eyes. Perfect. Gelfand was pleased with
her creation, even though “the time involved was somewhat more than I expected.” The Fabric Goddess stands nearly 7-feet tall. “She’s a little round, voluptuous,” Gelfand said. “We’re
looking for a suitable mate for some excitement.” The goddess should draw plenty of attention to she show, which pleases its creator. “Everything is one of a kind,” she said. Including the
welcoming goddess. Clinton Progressive Association presents

All freight, mail and people came to Whidbey Island by boat in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Thus, a wharf was an essential feature of towns like Langley that sprang up along the coast of Whidbey Island. Waterman’s illustrated talk will explore the fortunes and misfortunes of Langley’s marina from the founding of the town in 1890 to the present day. The role it played in the commercial and social life of the community, and the people who played major roles in its evolution, will be discussed.

Farmers find new Greenbank home By NATHAN WHALEN Staff Reporter
A small group of students hoping to cultivate a career in agriculture are busy harvesting crops at the Greenbank Farm. Four students are attending the organic farm school located on about eight acres of land at what was once the largest loganberry producer in the United States. They are busy picking crops that are being sold at the Coupeville Farmers Market that takes place Saturdays behind the Coupeville Public Library. “Everything has been maturing much faster because the weather is so nice,” said Jessica Babcock, director of the organic farm school. In addition to the Coupeville Farmers Market, the students’ produce is also available for purchase at the Star Store in Langley and the Goose in Freeland. They are also seeking subscriptions for a CSA. Babcock highlighted the CSA program as a way to get students to understand the opportunities and chal-
lenges of growing a diverse set of crops through the season. Students are busy picking turnips and various varieties of greens for sale, such as bok choi, spinach and arugula. The center, which opened several years ago under the auspices of the Northwest Agriculture Business Center, offers participants classroom instruction along with practical, hands-on training. Throughout the course of the growing season, the class is exposed to every aspect of operating a small farm. They learn agricultural techniques, marketing strategies and business practices throughout the course of a growing season. The Greenbank Farm Management Group a couple of years ago took over operations of the training center. This year’s crop of students come from as far away as Georgia and California. Mitia Dion, who recently lived in Seattle, came to Seattle because she wanted to expand her horticulture background. “I’ve always loved nature

and growing plants,” Dion said while working in the field. She said she hopes to work on an organic farm and she’s interested in teaching children who don’t have access to such places. Fellow student David Hunter decided to join the farm center because he has an interest in farming. He said attending the classes in Greenbank gives him the confidence needed to start his own farm. He was living in Berkeley, Calif., when he decided to enroll. He heard about the Whidbey school through Rob Schouten, a local artist who sells his work at the Greenbank Farm. Hunter said he was buying a work of art from Schouten. Babcock said she is trying to recruit Whidbey Island residents to give the Organic Farm Center a try. She pointed out two former students spent two years at the center before starting their own farm on South Whidbey Island. The training center offers an incubator program for students. They grow their own crops and sell them independent from

Remembering the true meaning of Memorial Day In 1971, Congress made Memorial Day a three-day weekend. According to some people, that was the beginning of the end of any real kind of memorial to our fallen soldiers. Celebrated on the last Monday in May, the holiday has evolved into nothing but an early summer party. Gone are the times when the day was an occasion to tidy up the grave markers and memorial cemeteries of those who gave their lives for our freedoms.

You don’t even have to sacrifice all the festivities in order to observe this day. It doesn’t take much time to lay a fresh bouquet of flowers on the grave of a family member or ancestor who lost his or her life in wartime fighting.

Ben Watanabe / The Record
Patrick Kent of Tukwila dropped his pursuit of running the Holmes Harbor Golf Course.
holmeS hArbor CONTINUED FROM A1
for the golf course is turning it into a public park. Earlier in the process, the sewer district asked the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District to evaluate running the course. Without an interested party stepping forth, the sewer board again looks to the parks district. “They look at it very realistically, and the way government runs is inherently more expensive than a private entity,” Walker said. “I do not expect that the course is open this year.” Doug Coutts, the recently hired director of South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District, said he was not ready to comment on the parks’ evaluation of the golf course. He acknowledged that the sewer board asked the parks district to evaluate running the course. Taking on the course as a public park, however, is not a simple transfer of title, and the parks budget — at its current revenue — can not pay to operate a golf course. “There’s not much we can add without adding some sort of funding,” Coutts said.
At the earliest, golfers could tee off Holmes Harbor in early 2014, if the parks district agrees to run the course. The sewer district has to maintain the greens and fairways for its treated wastewater. Holding ponds rise with heavy rains and drop in the summer months. When the ponds are high with treated water, the course is irrigated
for about $4,000 per month, Walker said. “The difference between just mowing it and mowing it as a golf course is probably $1,500,” he said. “You don’t save a lot of money to not keep it available.” “We have to mow it, we don’t have a choice about that.”
