South Whidbey coach’s passing mourned By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Henry Pope, a father of three, a husband and longtime South Whidbey basketball coach died early Thursday morning. He was 57 years old. Pope is survived by his wife, Teresa, daughters Samantha, 22, and Taylor, 20, and son Lewis, 13.
The death shocked his family. Teresa Pope said her husband had an enlarged heart, unknown to all of them, and high blood pressure. She awoke about 10 minutes before 1 a.m. and saw him struggling to breathe. Teresa attempted resuscitation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while awaiting the arrival of first responders. EMTs continued CPR as they transported to Whidbey General Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Pope’s family is planning a memorial service Friday, Aug. 2
at Trinity Lutheran Church. The time is to be determined, but his wife said it will be in the mid-afternoon. “There are a lot of people that want to be there,” Teresa Pope said. Sports leadership was a major commitment of Coach Pope’s. He led the Falcon girls basketball team for three seasons before taking over as the boys head coach in the 2010-11
Jury returns with verdict of ‘guilty’ in murder trial
Three vie for school board at-large seat By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Three former teachers want to be the next school board director for the South Whidbey School District. The at-large position will be vacated by Jill Engstrom at the end of the year, and one of the three candidates will take her place among the five-member board. Vying to advance to the general election in November are Betty Bond, Miriam Coates and Rocco Gianni. Two, Bond and Gianni, are retired teachers. Coates has a long history in education and is active on South Whidbey with youth activities. Each candidate is seeking their first publicly elected position. One of these candidates will join a board in the midst of slowing a decade-long enrollment decline, revamping the schools’ image and shaping its future of teacher evaluations, negotiations, policy implementation and possible grade configurations. About 12,000 ballots were mailed to voters in the South Whidbey School District. BETTY BOND is a relative newcomer to South Whidbey, having moved to the Fox Spit area three years ago. The retired teacher spent much of her career teaching early education, from first to eighth grade in California. Since moving here, BoND however, Bond delved into South Whidbey school issues. She participated in the community conversations hosted by the district in the 2011-12 school year to give parents, SEE ELECTION, A11

Joshua David Lambert will almost certainly spend the rest of his life behind bars as a convicted double murderer. A jury found Lambert guilty Thursday on all counts, which include two counts of firstdegree murder, one count of kidnapping and several burglary and gun charges. The jurors rejected Lambert’s defense that he suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and was legally insane when he stabbed his two 80-year-old grandfathers to death and bound his great-aunt with packing tape on Oct. 3, 2011. Prosecutor Greg Banks argued Lambert committed the horrendous and senseless crimes in the midst of a methamphetamineinduced psychotic episode. The jury returned the verdict Thursday afternoon, after deliberating for about six hours. Banks said Lambert is virtually guaranteed to receive a life sentence, especially since jurors found that he committed a series of aggravating factors, which increase the sentence substantially. The minimum time the 32-year-old man faces under the standard sentencing range is 67.5 years. Lambert’s sentencing hearing hasn’t been set, but will likely be in the next month. On Oct. 3, 2011, Lambert went on a frenzied search for guns to save his teenage son from non-existent “agents” and ended up killing both of his grandfathers. Lambert stabbed his paternal grandfather, George Lambert, to death, tied up his great SEE VERDICT, A14

S. Whidbey grad returns to scout island film location By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter The story has been etched in Joseph Itaya’s mind for 10 years. The story of two brothers spending a summer with their uncle in a rustic cabin on a remote island. A summer spent uncovering secrets about their grandfather and the mysterious island. Secrets that lead them on a hunt for their grandfather’s lost fortune in a race against time and sinister forces. Itaya’s story is captured in a screenplay he wrote for his master’s thesis at the University of Southern California. The whole time, his thoughts wandered back to a rugged yet serene landscape place dear to his heart about 1,200 miles up the Pacific coast. “Absolutely, Whidbey Island was on my mind,” he said. In a little over a month, Itaya’s story will be coming to life around Whidbey Island. Itaya, a 1996 graduate of South Whidbey High School, will fulfill a dream by directing his first feature film around his old stomping grounds. The film, “Lost & Found,” will begin production on Whidbey Island in early September. It’s an independent, lowbudget film that will be shot mostly in and around Coupeville and on North Whidbey. Although some of the actors being courted are recognizable names, the movie’s big star, according to Itaya, is Whidbey Island.
“It’s a magical location, a magical landscape,” Itaya said. “I wanted the world to see how mysterious, how thrilling and how beautiful it is.” Itaya, 33, has spent the past 10 years in Los Angeles making films, commercials and music videos. “Lost & Found” will mark his feature-film debut as a director. His screenplay was a 2013 finalist for “Best Dramatic Screenplay” at the International Family Film Festival in Hollywood. “I’ve read the screenplay,” said Sherrye Wyatt, tourism and film liaison for Whidbey and Camano Islands. “I almost feel like Whidbey Island is a character in the story itself. The whole island is key to the story.” The news that a group from Southern California was scouting Whidbey Island in May to shoot a feature film was a ray of sunshine for Wyatt. She’s worked with Washington FilmWorks and Itaya to make filming on Whidbey as seamless as possible, helping them line up the proper permits, secure lodging and assist with more detailed scouting. She’s currently looking for an older mansion on the island to be in the film. Washington FilmWorks is partially funding the movie. Other funding is through investors and pledges at a website called www.kickstarter.com Itaya didn’t give a dollar amount, but acknowledged that making a full-length feature film is a expensive
venture. He is joined by three other producers with varying degrees of experience in production and acting on bigger budget projects: Kim Selby, Scott Bridges and Eric Brenner. “It would mean the world to me if a piece of the financing came from the community,” said Itaya, who can be contacted through the movie’s website at www.lostand foundmovie.net “A film like this is a labor of love. It’s been a mission of mine and now we have an army of family and friends both on Whidbey Island and Los Angeles here giving every resource they have to go off and make this movie. “Why? Because this is a story that is absolutely worth fighting for. It’s a story worth living for, hoping for and wishing for.” Itaya said there will be opportunities for extras from the island to appear in the film. Filming is expected to take place the entire month of September. Locations will include downtown Coupeville, Fort Casey and Fort Ebey. Cornet Bay will be one of the North Whidbey locations. The movie is an island adventure and “fish out of water” story set in modern State Farm®

Whidbey Education Association, said the major issues for teachers are the impending teacher evaluations, how work hours are structured, professional development and compensation. The South Whidbey School District has participated in a state-funded trial for the teacher principal evaluation program. Evaluations of teachers and principals are mandated by the state by 2014. Superintendent Jo Moccia said no teachers were laid off this year, as a decade-long enrollment decline was cut, according to enrollment estimates by the district. In February, the district won voter approval for its maintenance and operations levy and an increase to its capital/technology levy, which the district said would go toward major building repairs and upgrades in every building.

Only one bid was submitted after the city sought appraisals from businesses on the MRSC consultant roster in 2012. At the time, however, Langley did not have funding for the appraisal with no guarantee the conservation futures application would be approved. With the money secured, the city struck a deal with the Noble Creek property owner to pay half of the appraisal. A revised quote was requested from Macaulay and Associates, which came in at $6,300 for the appraisal. In a letter to the city planner, Jeff Arango, Macaulay and Associates said the appraisal would take six to eight weeks.

Don’t let threats overshadow cause We understand the feelings of anger and resentment being exhibited by Navy supporters in response to the federal lawsuit involving Outlying Field Coupeville. The backlash has been swift and certain. Navy personnel and supporters see the lawsuit as a threat to the safety and welfare of flyers who practice carrier landings at OLF Coupeville. Demonstrations of support of OLF Coupeville are admirable and acceptable in the realm of public debate. The safety of our military personnel is of paramount concern. However, when support for OLF Coupeville ventures into threats of any kind, it creates a blemish on the entire cause. Those leading the charge to keep OLF Coupeville viable and operating need to actively corral those who venture off into the extreme. Otherwise, the entire pro-OLF effort risks falling under a dark cloud. People who support the cause may be forced to back off because of the negative undercurrent. The pro-OLF cause is a result of the lawsuit filed July 15 by the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe and Peaceful Environment. The federal lawsuit, which names the Navy, base commander Capt. Mike Nortier, and Adm. Bill Gortney, Commander Fleet Forces Command, seeks an in-depth review of the operations at OLF Coupeville based on National Environmental Protection Act Standards. Threats of bodily harm to lawsuit supporters — whether or not they’re made in jest — are flat out unacceptable and shouldn’t be tolerated. Any such threats made on Whidbey News Group websites, including on southwhidbeyrecord.com, result in an immediate ban. Another frequent threat in the OLF Coupeville debate is of an economic nature. There are is talk of boycotting any business, or community, deemed unsupportive of the Navy. One problem surfaced rather quickly, however. Businesses are being deemed unpatriotic based on pure speculation. On one pro-OLF Facebook page, a North Whidbey business was purported to be unsupportive of the Navy and the word quickly spread beyond the Internet site. It was subsequently determined on the same Facebook page that the business is indeed “very” supportive of the Navy. Business boycotts threaten not only the livelihood of an owner, but also the people they employ and their families. Boycotts also have the potential to impact city and county sales tax proceeds. That’s money that funds vital programs in all of our island communities. With an already struggling economy, none of us can afford for our island community to take an even greater hit. Yes, people have the right to direct their personal spending as they see fit, but publicly tarring a business — or an entire community — as being anti-Navy is a slippery slope. Trying to determine which businesses may or may not be pro-OLF has the potential to evolve into a modern-day witch hunt. While it’s entirely appropriate to voice support for OLF Coupeville and the men and women who rely on it for their training, that support shouldn’t be allowed to morph into threats.

Signs not sanctioned by Whidbey Audubon Editor, Recently, information listing Whidbey Audubon Society and our Pigeon Guillemot Research Survey was posted on signs that were used to close a portion of beach on the south end of Mutiny Bay in Freeland. We would like the public to know that Whidbey Audubon Society never gave its permission for the use of its name and research project for this purpose. Neither Audubon nor our research group has any need, interest in or advocacy for closing beaches. Our Guillemot Research Group has been active for nine years studying over 25 nesting colony sites around Whidbey Island. For decades these charismatic seabirds have coexisted with local shoreline residents and beach walkers. We are grateful for the many volunteer citizen scientists and private beach owners who have aided us in this research and we look forward to continuing this important work. ANN CASEY, president Whidbey Audubon Society

Anti-noise signs get ‘the bird’ every time Editor, Being a third generation resident of Whidbey Island I find the “noise” signs on Central Whidbey very offensive. The jet noise that you complain about has always been a part of growing up here. Like my dad told me and as the sign says, “It is the Sound of Freedom.” When I hear the jets, I get goosebumps and hope that our country is as loud and fierce as they are if the time should ever come that we need them right here to protect you and yours. No one made you buy your home in the flight path. If you don’t like it then perhaps you need to go back to where you came from, or learn how to use
ear plugs or put the headphones on and listen to music with “The Sound of Freedom” in the background. Life is too short to complain about something that has always been here and I hope always will be. Personally, I flip those signs “the bird” every time I drive by.

Golf matters to senior citizens on Whidbey Editor, As a woman golfer who initiated the Holmes Harbor Ladies group, I take exception to Editor Jim Larsen’s arrogant and shortsighted editorial concerning the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation exploration of operating the Holmes Harbor Golf Course. Parks and Recreation has an opportunity to provide unimportant asset for youth and senior citizens on South Whidbey. The middle and high school golf programs would love to have a venue for practice and instruction.

Youth clinics for the community would introduce many to golf who have never have had an opportunity to play. Golf is a non-contact sport that teaches values such as integrity, perseverance and personal responsibility. The First Tee organization is putting millions into developing young golfers. I know of seniors who regularly play into their 90s and enjoy Holmes Harbor because of its shorter length. Our ladies’ group of about 35 women liked the fact that a round can be played in three hours. These women are all from South Whidbey, not just Holmes Harbor. You tell us to drive 60 miles to Oak Harbor and back, join a private country club or play at a less-than-suitable course without amenities. Or, better yet, buy a boat to launch. Why didn’t you say, “let them eat cake?” Seniors are the largest-growing population on South Whidbey. Evidently, they don’t count in your estimation. NANCY WALKER Freeland

Stubborn stance will be downfall Editor: I was taught at an early age to guard your freedom that this nation provides at all cost and that freedom is not inherited without cost. That cost comes in responsible exercise of that freedom that you inherit along with the consequences that follows. The recent escalation of comments and actions of a local Central Whidbey citizens group expressing uncompromising opposition to the Navy’s continued field operations at Outlying Field Coupeville I view as a threat to our national security therefore as a threat to those freedom I refer to. I use the term escalation because this opposition began as an issue of aircraft noise impact on encroaching residential property surrounding OLF Coupeville, it has now advanced to an uncompromising demand that facility be shut down altogether. I understand Naval aircraft noise impact on residential property as we reside under the down wind leg of the northern approach to the OLF. What I don’t understand is the uncompromising demand to shut down a military facility impacting national security at a time it is being commented on 24/7 lately. If these citizens were agents of a potential adversary I might somewhat understand, but not self professed loyal citizens who say
they respect the military as a necessary profession. Why then this uncompromising stance as the only acceptable solution to the noise impact problem? It has been said, if this republic is to fail it will fail from within.
if you have a problem with the Navy, or the noise, I hear Mount Vernon is a nice place to live.
natural state or other appropriate use.
Solution proposed to OLF noise
Community was at its best
Jets: Love ‘em or leave ’em
Editor: How about the people that object to the noise from jets using the OLF Coupeville take the initiative to alleviate the situation. Instead of making the taxpayers spend several million dollars to move the Growlers to Lemoore, how about Ken Pickard and the others that object to the noise form a non-profit organization like the Nature Conservatory. It could apply for grants from a foundation like the Gates Foundation to buy property from those in the noise zone that want to move to a more noise friendly area. The foundation could auction off the recycle rights. When everything of reuse was removed, they could let the structure that’s remaining be used for fire fighting training or the police for swat training. The property could be returned to its former

Editor: In response to Michael Monson’s letter May 4. When did you move to or around Coupeville? The Navy was here first, so you knew what you were buying into. I was a jet engine tech in the Air Force and dealt with running engines all the time. The EA18G and the EA6 fly directly over my house all the time and there is little difference in the noise. I moved to Whidbey Island in 1989 and if the Navy flies over my house it makes me feel safer knowing those men and women are watching out for our safety. I get tired of people buying a piece of property in the noise zone, then complaining about it. To quote another letter writer, I would rather hear American jets than Korean jets, and its not easier to move a jet than a house. A jet needs a runway, support equipment, personnel, housing for the personnel, fuel depot, and on and on! So

Editor, Recently, eight of us dined royally, celebrating art, friendship, generosity and community support. The setting was the Prima Bistro in Langley. For me, it began in April at the South Whidbey Soroptimist fundraising event, Purses with a Purpose, a lively evening that supports wonderful programs to educate and care for girls and women. During the live auction, a friend and I splurged to purchase the Winemakers’ Dinner at the Prima Bistro, a memorable sounding evening, as a gift for our husbands. What an experience. Elegant food created by Chef Sieb Jurrians paired with masterful wines from the Chelan Estate Winery. Both Sieb and winemaker Bob Broderick described each piece of their art, their words enhancing each course. The
dinner, the wines, the service all was exquisite. As we left, with pampered palates and insights to flavor combinations, I also realized that this dinner reflects beautifully how healthy communities work. To benefit Soroptimist programs, Prima Bistro donated a multi-course dinner. Mary and Bob Broderick followed suit with wines for each course. Local businesses supporting local good works. Such happens regularly. Then
we, the public, join in. As we support local organizations, both for profit and nonprofit, we build an ever stronger, joyous circle of caring. Community at its best. So, here’s a shout out to hardworking Soroptimists, Jenn and Sieb Jurrians and their perfectly attentive staff, and the Brodericks. You nourished all our senses, especially the quiet one called soul. elizabeTh guss langley

Langley girl wins national horse riding title Briefly Gun club opens range to public
By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Thandeka Brigham has moxie. The 15-year-old Langley girl also has an O-Mok-See national championship saddle. And she almost didn’t make the trip to Blackfoot, Idaho earlier in July. Her parents bought a truck that could tow her horse, Molly, to the national championship the day before it started. “It’s cool if I think about it, I haven’t had much time to think about it,” said Thandeka, who flew to California three days after returning in early July and returned to Langley on Thursday night. She credited her horse, which she’s had for about a year and a half, for performing well in most of the events. Though they never finished first in any of the races, they placed in all but two and were disqualified in only one. “There’s something about that horse; we bonded really fast,” Thandeka said. “All she wants to do is please me, and that helps.” Thandeka and some 20 other riders from Whidbey Western Games Association, the area’s patterned horse racing group, caravanned from Whidbey to Idaho, horses in tow. Whidbey Western Games Association’s riders included Amanda Mosler, Molly Rawls, Kathy Rawls, Kailei Roberts, Liz McPhee, Maddie McPhee, Kareena Moore, Lynna Baker, Julia DeMartini, Cameron Dahl and Dylan Dahl. The journey proved fruitful for other riders, including Whidbey’s previous saddle winner, Makenzie Peterson. “They’re never going to invite us back,” said Sonya Simmons, Peterson’s mother and an O-Mok-See rider. “The kids did great. Everybody that went did well.” She won the 12 to 15-year-old girls division national championship

Thandeka Brigham turns her horse Molly around a barrel during the O-Mok-See National Championship in early July. The 15-year-old Langley girl won the 12 to 15-year-old girls division title and a trophy saddle. in 2010. Peterson is entering her second year at Linfield College in McMinnville, Ore. and had not ridden competitively since 2011. “I missed it, it’s something I’ve done all my life,” said Peterson, 19. Though she won her saddle riding her horse Mo back in 2010, the 19-year-old horse was a bit out of shape when Peterson decided she wanted to ride in the national championship. She rode Mo every day for about a month leading to the July 7 races. “Once I got back from school, I think he thought I was trying to kill him,” Peterson said. They placed seventh in the wom-
en’s division, which ranges from 16 to 39 year olds, the largest group. As a past champion, Peterson noted Thandeka’s connection with the horse, Molly. Peterson’s mother, Sonya Simmons, also raced in the events in the senior women’s division. It had been a while since she competed in O-Mok-See, too. “I haven’t gamed for a couple years either,” Simmons said. “I’m coming back as a man next year. They only had about 20 in their division.” Horses and riders alike braved the blistering heat of Blackfoot, where temperatures broke 100 degrees.

Simmons said the horses, after sprinting, stopping and turning in the heat for the races, were doused with water and returned to their stalls with large fans cooling the water on them. The riders did not have such convenience if they were without an air conditioned RV. “We stayed cool,” Thandeka said. “It was really hot every day.” As for her future riding accolades, Thandeka said she wants to place first in a few events next year and break a record. For now, though, she’s happy flaunting her new champion’s saddle. “It’s comfy,” Thandeka said. “I’ve already started using it. You’ve got to brag sometimes, right?”

Whidbey gears up for ‘humpy’ run By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter The tug on the line caught Kyle Eckles by surprise. Could it really be a salmon? Eckles saw a flash in the water and told his dad he had a fish. His dad thought he caught the bottom of Puget Sound. “You’ve got seaweed,” Bob Eckles said to his son. But the elder Eckles watched his son’s line get yanked away from the shoreline. “Seaweed doesn’t fight back,” he said. The experience of an 8-year-old from Oak Harbor catching his first salmon with his dad on the beach at Driftwood Park in Coupeville last week was more than either of the Eckles could have imagined. The fish, which weighed about 3 pounds, was one of the early arrivals of an estimated 6.2 million pink salmon expected to return to Puget Sound this summer. “We were just out practicing,” Bob Eckles said. “I wanted to give him some experience.” “We caught a few trout earlier this year. I wanted him to experience the tug of a bigger fish.” “It was really fun,” Kyle said. Whidbey Island’s wildest fishery is about to unfold, sending anglers out in force along the beaches and on the water. Pink salmon, or humpies as they’re commonly known, only return to Puget Sound in odd-numbered years, historically arriving in their greatest numbers in August, peaking by the middle of the month. The pinks, however, are already trickling into the Sound and are legal to catch
in Marine Area 9, encompassing Admiralty Inlet, on the west side of the island. That means that popular shore fishing areas along the beaches at Keystone, Lagoon Point and Bush Point are fair game for anglers, who are able to keep two pinks and a combination of four salmon overall as a daily limit. Chinook also are being caught. That fishery opened July 16 in Admiralty Inlet with boat anglers raving about early success near Fort Casey for that deeper water type of fishing. Salmon fishing around the rest of Whidbey Island opens Aug. 1, just in time for the expected slam of pinks. Ryan Lothrop, Puget Sound recreational salmon fishery manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said this year’s pink run will rank in the top three historically in the state since they’ve been keeping such records. The largest return to Puget Sound, according to department data, was in 2009 when between 9 and 10 million pinks passed through, which was nearly double the expected forecast of 5.2 million. “There’s going to be pretty good fishing up in that region,” Lothrop said. To brace for fishery, sporting goods departments from Clinton to Oak Harbor are stocking up on fishing gear, filling the shelves with pink artificial lures and jars of smelly lotions. Popular lures for pinks are Buzz Bombs (as long as you remove the treble hook and replace with a single, barbless hook) and Rotators. Among other devices anglers try are Gibbs Blizzards and Flutter Jigs, a creation of Whidbey Island’s own Chris Brooks. The lure Kyle Eckles used

to harness his humpy was a pink Crippled Herring within 15 feet of shore. “Humpies like the color pink,” said Bob Crouch, a sporting goods employee at Sebo’s hardware store in Bayview. “It has a lot to do with shrimp. They eat shrimp and creel.” Sebo’s has a huge display of pink fishing gear near the entrance of the store. Pink lures, even pink hooks. Anglers in South Whidbey like to glean bits of wisdom from Crouch, who’s been fishing for pinks off Whidbey Island since the early 1970s. Crouch shared a tip by picking up a bottle of Mike’s Lunker Lotion. Not only are humpies attracted to fluttering flashes of pink, scent also plays a role, he said. He advises lathering up a lure with the lotion using a pastry brush, not one’s fingers. The primary aim is to hide the human scent from the salmon. Anglers believe in all sorts of quirks. John Rudd of Clinton uses his own unique method, butting two pink beads against a pink Buzz Bomb. He fished the shores of Bush Point Wednesday night. “I think it makes a little audible sound that makes my luck a little better,” Rudd said. At the Ace Hardware store in Oak Harbor, at least one employee swears by pink Rotators. There is a large cardboard arrow that points to a tray stuffed with Rotators to make it easy for anglers to find the lure. “Two years ago, it just exploded,” said John Hetherington, who works in the sporting goods department at Oak Harbor’s Ace Hardware. “People were calling us from boats, ‘Got any Rotators in?’” “We were all sold out.”

Kyle Eckles, 8, of Oak Harbor, lands his first salmon with an assist from his dad Bob Eckles during an evening of fishing along the shore at Driftwood Park in Coupeville on July 17. Pink salmon are beginning to enter the Sound. Pink fever is unlike any other fishery on Whidbey Island. It’s a popular fishery because of the abundance of salmon and the ability for a novice angler to stand a good chance of catching one from shore with the proper gear. Crouch said a beginning angler can get set up with a rod, reel and gear for under $50. Anglers also must purchase a state saltwater fishing license, which can cost about $32 when you include dealer fees. The investment can reap pink salmon that average between 3-6 pounds. But it is important to remember to use a single barbless hook, Crouch warned. Barbed hooks can be made legal by pinching off the barb with needle nose pliers. Some anglers turn their
noses up at pink salmon, complaining that the meat softens too quickly after being caught. Others defend the pinks, saying as long as you “bleed out” the fish after they’re caught and throw them on ice, the meat holds up fine. Crouch is one who sings the praises of pink salmon. It’s possible he might even do a dance if necessary. He knows a nice downpour of rain is often the
trigger that drives salmon to their freshwater destinations. Often after a rain this time of year, pink salmon enter Puget Sound in greater numbers. “I thought I felt a sprinkle,” Crouch said as he walked out of Sebo’s Wednesday night. Then he raised his arms to the sky. “Come on rain!”

Festival brings sound of classical music to Whidbey By CELESTE ERICKSON Staff reporter The music of Handel and Bach will fill the air at St. Augustine’s and Greenbank farm next weekend during the annual Whidbey Island Music Festival. The festival will showcase music from the composers in two different programs over three concerts Aug. 2-4, 2013. Handel’s Heroines, the first program, will be played at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2 at St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods and again at 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4 at Greenbank Farm. The second program, Bach Cantatas, will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3 at St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods. Tekla Cunningham, director of the festival, said people in the audience will be able to enjoy a festive atmosphere with the exploration of new music some haven’t heard. “We have a nice mixture of the old and new, familiar and unfamiliar,” she said. Artists include Cunningham, baroque violin; Yulia Van Doren, soprano; Kris Kwapis, baroque trumpet; Adam LaMotte, baroque violin; Patricia Laurence, violin; Katherine Kyme, baroque viola; William Skeen, baroque cello; Corey Jamason, harpsichord. Cunningham said the talent is amazing this year with baroque trumpet virtuosa Kris Kwapis and soprano Yulia Van Doren. “Everyone gets a change to shine,” she said. Violinist Patricia Laurence will be performing at the festival for the first time this year. She has attended the event as long as she’s lived on the Island, eight years. Laurence has been playing the violin for about 50 years as a way to express herself, she said. She has played several recitals on the island over the years. Laurence will also be performing in a solo recital at 7:30 p.m. Sunday Aug. 4 at the Langley United Methodist Church

Violinist Patricia Laurence practices for her upcoming solo recital at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, July 28 at the Langley United Methodist Church. This is Laurence’s first year performing at the Whidbey Island Music Festival, though she has attended for the last eight festivals. “I was a very shy child, this was my outlet for expression when I was young,” she said. “It’s a wonderful way to express myself. The music is so gorgeous and it motivates me.” Laurence said she is excited to meet new musicians and get to know their style during rehearsals. Laurence wants the audience to take away an appreciation for the music. She wants audiences to leave with a good feeling that they’ve heard something professional and done as accurately as possible - the way Bach or Handel intended. Cunningham began the festival eight

teachers, students and others on the South End a chance to shape their public schools. Bond, who taught for 32 years, was a student-teacher supervisor and mentor for 10 years, including two years as a regional supervisor. Since moving to Langley, she joined the Readiness to Learn Foundation board as vice president for the past year and a half and the American Association of University Women of Whidbey Island as its program vice president and a scholarship committee member. “I have a strong belief that all children deserve to learn in the best quality way.” said Bond, who volunteers as a tutor at South Whidbey Elementary School. As a teacher, Bond was a grade-level leader and helped select text books, design curriculum instruction and participated in a committee to align school standards with state standards. Those experiences, Bond said, give her ample experience working through differences to achieve a shared goal. Bond wanted to join the board to add her experience to what she said is a district moving in the right direction. Though enrollment has declined for almost a decade, Bond said the board, administrative team and teachers set the district for the best possible future. “With the programs in place, with the increases in student achievement, with the physical changes and the plans to increase safety, it will get out the message that this district is working hard,” said Bond, 66. Regarding any possible reconfiguration of the district’s grade levels and facilities, Bond said, to her knowledge, the schools as they are will work with grades K-5 at the elementary school, 6-8 at Langley Middle School and 9-12 at the high school. She can say that with some confidence. Bond was on the 20-member long-range planning committee earlier this year. Her time as a teacher gave her the experience of working with parents, updating them of their students’ progress and struggles. In a similar fashion, that’s how she would represent voters as a

Dream of ‘Joe Hill’ becomes reality Whidbey Island Center for the Arts produces “I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night,” an apolitical play about the highly confrontational political period following World War II, runs one weekend only. The play follows the people caught up in the
volatile political climate when they were too eager to join lofty causes that promised solutions but ultimately let them down. An undercurrent of gritty, funny labor music helps set an amusing yet compelling tone for this play. This original play written by Tom Churchill is directed by Ann Deacon. The crew includes assistant director Dwight Zehm, stage manager Warren Carrow, and musical director Robert Marsanyi. The cast includes Loren Churchill, Kira Keeney, Ken Stephens, Rozie Hughes, Rich Doyle, Bryn McAfee, Matthew Gregory, Laura Persaud and Rita Carrow. WICA’s production runs Aug. 1 - 4 with showtimes at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets for “I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night” cost $15 for the Thursday through Saturday shows and $12 for the Sunday show. Tickets are on sale at wicaonline.com and by calling the WICA box office at 800-638-7631 or 360-221-8268.

aunt Kay Gage with packing tape, and stabbed to death his maternal grandfather, August Eugene “Sonny” Eisner. His grandfathers were both 80 years old and lived in separate residences on North Whidbey. Lambert granted a series of jailhouse interviews to the Whidbey News Group prior to trial. He explained the complex delusions he claimed to have on the day of the murders, as well as the voices that continue to plague him. Thursday, attorneys and citizens who watched the trial agreed it was a predictable ending to a very unpredictable trial. Lambert wasn’t in the courtroom for the verdict, but appeared from the jail on a large-screen TV with a video connection. Judge Vickie Churchill removed him from the court because of his continued angry outbursts, which culminated in a courtroom fight with guards Tuesday. Psychologist Brian Judd, an expert witness for the prosecution, testified this week that he believed

school year, all while working at Boeing as an information security analyst. Prior to leading the Falcon boys basketball team to its first playoff run in years, he had also coached the Langley Middle School boys team, which became the group of seniors he led to the 2A District 1 playoffs. Kenon Simmons was the junior varsity coach for two seasons, including Pope’s first with the boys program, and recalled Pope’s passion for the players.
“Henry and I had our differences coaching, but I never questioned his love for the kids,” Simmons said. “He was a family man and a community guy, and this community is going to sorely miss him.” Once basketball, Pope’s favorite sport, ended, he took little time off before resuming his clipboard and cap for baseball. Pope coached for South Whidbey Little League, including teams his son was on, for several years in addition to coaching fastpitch softball. “Henry really was suited to coach those kids,” Simmons said.

Lambert was delusional on the day of the murders, but that it was caused by shooting up methamphetamine. He noted Lambert’s extensive drug history, the fact that he was caught with hypodermic needles and jailhouse conversations Lambert had with his mother. Judd also said Lambert likely exaggerated and embellished the symptoms. Pacher appealed to the juror’s sense of humanity in his closing arguments. He opened with, “We never talk anymore.” Pacher highlighted evidence that Lambert has a mental illness, which included talking to himself in prison. His behavior was so odd that a guard tried to get him a mental health assessment. Pacher argued that Lambert’s mental health problems were compounded by his stay at an abusive boot camp for boys in Samoa and more than four years in solitary confinement in prison. “Josh Lambert definitely has something wrong in his head,” he said. Pacher didn’t try to soften Lambert’s difficult personality, but argued that shouldn’t matter. “Frankly Josh is not an easy guy to like,” he said. “He’s contentious, he’s argu-

mentative, he blurts out things.” Finally, Pacher emphasized the lack of evidence that Lambert was on meth on the day of the murders. He also questioned the prosecutor’s experts; they cited the fact that Lambert hadn’t previously reported his delusional symptoms to authorities and his recent insistence that he’s insane as evidence against a diagnosis of schizophrenia. “If you’ve read Joseph Heller’s ‘Catch-22,’ you’ll appreciate this,” he said. “If you don’t tell us you’re mentally ill, you’re not mentally ill. If you tell us you’re mentally ill, you’re not mentally ill.” Banks, on the other hand, explained during his closing arguments that it’s not the state’s burden to prove that Lambert was sane; it’s up to the defense to prove he was legally insane at the time of the murders. One of the elements of the insanity defense is the question of whether Lambert understood right from wrong. Banks said it was clear he did from his actions that day. Lambert, for example, didn’t kill his great aunt, but tied her up, even though he claimed he was authorized to kill by a voice in his head. “That was an example of mercy,” Banks said. “And if he showed mercy, he knew right from wrong.”
