Widow disputes coroner’s ruling By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record
Quite a catch Good Cheer staff reported the food bank had 191 pounds of salmon on the shelves Monday morning. Little remained by Thursday. “We were thrilled with the donation,” said Kathy McLaughlin McCabe, Good Cheer’s
The wife of a man who died on South Whidbey two years ago wants a judge or jury to overrule the coroner’s determination that he committed suicide. Rachel P. Anderson, wife of the late Martin Anderson, filed a “petition for judicial review” against Island County Coroner Robert Bishop in Snohomish County Superior Court Aug. 6. The petition, filed by Bellevue attorney John Peick, claims that Martin Anderson’s death “was caused by unlawful or unnatural means, to-wit, homicide, accident or unintended adverse drug interactions.” Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said state law allows for such petitions, but they are rare and the statute offers little guidance. He said it’s unclear how the official cause of death would be changed — whether by a judge, jury or through a coroner’s inquest — but he will oppose the petition. “My plan is to defend Dr. Bishop’s determination as it is grounded in fact,” he said. “He was very thorough in his investigation.” Bishop said he was advised not to discuss the case in detail. “I’m very comfortable with our determination,” he said. “I stand behind it 100 percent.” A deputy with the Island County Sheriff’s Office discovered Martin Anderson’s body in the backyard of a Clinton home while conducting a welfare check Oct. 17, 2011, according to docu-

A proud Cowan Criswell of Freeland holds up his catch, landed at the 2013 Freeland Ace Pink Salmon Derby Saturday, Aug. 24. The annual event took place all over Whidbey Island, resulting in more than 100 fillets donated to Good Cheer Food Bank and a $1,500 scholarship for a South Whidbey graduating senior.
Salmon derby reels in weighty catch By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Bush Point was quite a sight this past Saturday, with near shoulder-to-shoulder anglers casting lines and boats tied three deep to mooring buoys. More than 230 people competed in the Freeland Ace Pink Salmon Derby this year, the third time the hardware store hosted the event with The Fishin’ Club. Ticket sales and donations brought in $2,200, a $600 bump from the previous derby in 2011 and $1,000 more than the first contest in 2009. The Fishin’ Club also awarded a South Whidbey High School graduating senior a $1,500 scholar-
ship this spring, and the derby brought in more than 100 salmon fillets donated to the Good Cheer Food Bank in Bayview. Kevin Lungren, vice president of The Fishin’ Club, said the club put out a notice that volunteers would also take salmon catches other than those from the derby and prepare them for the food bank. “You’ve got to be careful what you wish for,” said Lungren, who added that he and the other nine filleters and packagers finished after 9 p.m. Saturday. Weigh-in ended around 4:30 p.m. “The back of my truck was full of coolers and tubs full of fish.”
A total of 10 people volunteered to clean, fillet, package and transport the donated salmon. Aiding Lungren were his wife Mary Jane, daughter Emma Lungren, Jeff Dodd, Wayne Furber, Laura Canby and the Byrd family.

First Emerson challenger emerges Navy helicopter for 2014 District 3 commissioner race crew rescues By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Democratic candidate Karla Jacks, of Camano Island, says she will run against Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson for the District 3 seat. Emerson’s district, which comprises Whidbey Island north of Oak Harbor and all of Camano Island, is not up for election until 2014, but Jacks said she is a “newby” who wants to get a head start on fundraising and learning the ropes. Karla Jacks “This way I can walk my way through the whole political process,” Jacks said. assumption that I’m run“There’s a learning ning.” curve.” Emerson, a Republican, Jacks said she wants to successfully unseated run because she’s observed Camano Democrat John lack of teamwork among the Dean in 2010 but went on to commissioners. spend the next two years on “Over last the three years, a Democrat-led board.

Kelly Emerson Emerson has been a source of controversy since she was named chairwoman of the board earlier this year. She was stripped of her title in July by Johnson and Commissioner Helen Price Johnson for making decisions contrary to the consensus of the board. Jacks hopes to foster greater collaboration and a sense of teamwork on the board, ambitions very similar to those Johnson campaigned on during the 2012 race for District 2 commissioner. Jacks is the executive director of the Camano Center, which provides a variety of services and resources for Camano residents of all ages. She also volunteers at Camano schools, with the Rotary Club, with the YMCA Program Committee and
serves as the president of the Chamber of Commerce. In these roles, Jacks said she has been an advocate for seniors, students, charitable events, resource outreach and people with disabilities. “For the last 21 years I’ve been an advocate for our community,” Jacks said. Jacks has a 20-yearold son, Clayton, who was born with high-functioning autism. Even though Clayton was non-verbal as a child, Jacks said he has “done really, really well” and is now is his third year at the Arts Institute of Seattle. “I’m really proud of how well he’s done,” Jacks said. Jacks and her husband, Jay, a lead fire mechanic for Camano Fire and Rescue, have two other sons. Lucas, 19, is finishing his associate of arts at Skagit Valley College, and Samuel, a junior, is a lineman for Stanwood High School football.
injured hiker Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s Search and Rescue unit airlifted a 19-year-old woman to safety near Lena Lake in Olympic National Park Wednesday. The Navy team responded to a rescue call, Aug. 28, from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for a woman who reportedly injured her back while hiking with a group in the park. According to Lt. Cmdr. Shane Jones, the MH-60S Knighthawk Helicopter aircraft commander, a tree had fallen on the young woman near Lena Lake, south of Brothers Mountain. Her potential spine injuries necessitated an emergency airlift. “She was located up around the 1,800-foot level,” said Jones, who brought the helicopter down to a clear
zone 200 yards from the woman. Petty Officer 2nd Class Timothy Hawk and Petty Officer 2nd Class Brent McIntyre exited the aircraft to assist the injured hiker aboard the helicopter. A civilian ground rescue crew that was already on scene had placed a cervical collar around the injured woman’s neck. They also secured her onto a back board. After transporting the woman to the edge of Lena Lake, she was hoisted aboard the helicopter for transport to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The Navy aircrew also included Lt. Cmdr. David Waner, co-pilot, and Petty Officer 2nd Class David Scott.

NEWSLINE | WEATHER REPORT: Good news for this Labor Day weekend. Sunny today through Tuesday.
FERRIES FISHERIES Bomb threat Puget Sound cancels ferry runs crab closures set Port TownsendCoupeville ferry service was shut down by a bomb threat for three and a half hours Tuesday night. Nothing was found, and ferry service was back to normal with the 8:30 p.m. Port Townsend run to Coupeville and the 9:15 p.m. Coupeville sailing to Port Townsend. Port Townsend police, State Patrol troopers, bomb-sniffing dogs and other law-enforcement officers searched the Port Townsend terminal, both ferries, the parking lot and waiting vehicles and dock area. The threat came in via a text message that arrived about 5 p.m. indicating some kind of explosive on a ferry or at the Port Townsend terminal, the State Patrol said. It was not immediately clear to whom the text had been sent, or who had sent it. The two Port Townsend-Coupeville ferries, Salish and Kennewick, were held at the Port Townsend docks. Four sailings were canceled — the 5:15 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. sailings from Port Townsend for Coupeville and the 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Coupeville departures for Port Townsend. In addition to the State Patrol and Port Townsend police, Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies were at the ferry terminal, and a Coast Guard patrol boat checked the dock area.
Best to get to the water this weekend, crab lovers, Puget Sound will close to recreational crab fishing at sunset Sept. 2. The only two areas of Puget Sound that will remain open to crab fishing after Labor Day are marine areas 7 north and 7 south near the San Juan Islands. Sport fishers who crab in those two areas after Sept. 2 must record their catch on winter-catch record cards. All sport fishers licensed to fish for Dungeness crab anywhere in Puget Sound have until Oct. 1 to submit summer-catch reports — due by midnight — to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Catch reports play a major role in determining how much crab is still available for harvest during the winter season,” said Rich Childers, Fish and Wildlife’s shellfish policy lead. “It’s important that we receive reports from everyone licensed to fish for crab in Puget Sound — whether or not they caught crab this year.” Childers said Fish and Wildlife will announce winter-crab seasons for Puget Sound in early October after completing an assessment of the summer fishery. Crabbers can submit catch record cards to WDFW by mail at CRC Unit, 600 Capitol Way N., Olympia, WA 98501-1091. They can also report their
catch online at fishhunt. dfw.wa.gov from Sept. 3 through Oct. 1. Crabbers who fail to file their catch reports on time will face a $10 fine when they purchase a 2014 Puget Sound crab endorsement. Winter cards are free and available at sportinggoods stores and other license vendors across the state.
LANGLEY Council to look at general fund Langley City Council will look at its general fund budget at its upcoming meeting, Sept. 3. The city’s general fund finances most operations in Langley. Property taxes, sales taxes and utility taxes make up the majority of the general fund, though fees for business licenses and building permits, for example, also go to the general fund. Intergovernmental funding — Department of Ecology shoreline grants, Conservation Futures grants, liquor excise tax and liquor profits, and criminal justice funds — is the second-highest revenue for Langley, behind taxes. According to Langley’s general fund budget, the only incorporated city on South Whidbey ranks 36th out of more than 280 cities in Washington in its amount of sales tax per capita. Out of every $100 of goods and services purchased in Langley, the city receives 85 cents. The council has a hand-

The rent increase will begin Sept. 1. Ferguson said the group is a young organization with few resources, but has great potential. He said the group is prepared to pay the rent at the set increase, but it will be a strain for some of the organization’s partners. He said the organization would like to stay at the Bayview School. The education center, along with its partners at the old school, are together known as the Bayview Learning Cooperative. The partners include the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts, New Stories and Lauryn Taylor Contemporary Art. Superintendent Jo Moccia said the increase has been known for six months. She said the organization needs to provide active and specific plans to offer “inkind” services to assist the district in its mission.

Some haven’t been improved in 20 years and Mother Nature has made some difficult or impossible to use, he said. “All I’m saying is that the port’s current assets, the boat ramps, support tourism,” Gregoire said. “But the port’s boat ramps certainly are not functioning at the level they should be functioning.” The report also found port district residents seem to choose South Whidbey for

The first question to ask yourself is what you prefer — fur, feathers, or scales. Find out about the species, race, and temperament of the animal in question and ensure that you are compatible. Cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, reptiles, and fish have very different physical and emotional needs. Choosing an animal simply to show off will likely backfire, leaving you with a pet you can’t really love or take care of properly.

South Whidbey Port Commissioners got an indepth look at their district demographics this week. The board recently commissioned a study by Bothellbased BST Associates that examined population trends, income levels, employment, transportation patterns and park requirements of South Whidbey. The purpose was to give the board a better idea of how they should proceed in developing long-range planning documents, specifically the comprehensive scheme. Commissioner Chris Jerome said the results seemed to make sense and supported the board’s existing conclusions. “As far as diversifying, that’s certainly where I thought we were going with our strategic plan and I think it’s helpful that (the study) identified specific sectors. There are no big surprises here,” Jerome said. The presentation listed future opportunities for the port including diversifying activities to support economic development in water-depen-
and at Possession Beach. The port is managing about as many marine access sites as the organization can handle, he said. “I don’t think we need to do more than that,” Jerome said. Commissioner Curt Gordon, who is also president of the board, said the report was specific but he wanted additional data concerning income.

Marijuana law to go unchallenged
Many Washingtonians can breathe, or exhale, a sigh of relief this week. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder notified Gov. Jay Inslee and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper in a telephone call Thursday that neither state’s new marijuana laws would be challenged. We believe this is good news. We are all Americans and this is a pivotal case of state versus federal rights but, in this instance, Uncle Sam is right to back off. Whatever an individual’s feelings are concerning the recreational use of marijuana — good, bad or indifferent — 55.7 percent of Washington voters, that’s more than 1.7 million people, voted to approve Initiative 502 this past December. Going to war or funding healthcare are complicated matters with the potential to affect us all. Those issues are rightly decided collectively. This is not one of those cases. Washington, as a state, made a decision about our future, what we believe is safe and appropriate. And, if our new law is implemented wisely, that choice that should have limited impacts on our neighbors. One person’s decision to get high in Washington will not negatively affect the quality of life of a person in New York, Florida or California. It appears, however, the federal government plans to make sure that is the case, and rightfully so. During Thursday’s call with Inslee and Hickenlooper, Holder said the federal government would not challenge either state’s new marijuana laws, but it would not turn a blind eye either. “Attorney General Holder made it clear the federal government will continue to enforce the federal Controlled Substance Act by focusing its enforcement on eight specific concerns, including the prevention of distribution to minors and the importance of keeping Washingtongrown marijuana within our state’s borders,” said Inslee, in a joint statement with state Attorney General Bob Ferguson. “We share those concerns and are confident our state initiative will be implemented as planned,” the statement said. Voting to legalize marijuana use in our state was our right. But, it’s also the right of the federal government to ensure our decision won’t affect those who are too young to decide for themselves, or who made a different choice about their future. Washingtonians’ right to choose does not supersede the rights of others, and both the state and federal government should be congratulated for their measured and reasonable approach to a smoky issue.

OLF debated
doesn’t sound like freedom to me Editor, Recently, several writers have compared the sound of military machinery to the “sound of freedom.” Historical amnesia is encouraged by official culture, so I believe it is worth listing a few of the most violent episodes involving the United States that marked the second half of the 20th century: •Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Death toll: 200,100. Death from after effects: not computed. •The destruction of every building in North Korean War. Death toll of Koreans: 900,000. •The Vietnam War, fought with regular use of chemical weapons. Death toll: 50,000 U.S. soldiers, 2 million Vietnamese. •The third oil war, 1990. Death toll: between 50,000 and 100,000 Iraqi soldiers. •The effects of sanctions against Iraq. Death toll: up to 1 million. Of course, we are all painfully aware of the cost of imperial intervention over the last 10 years. From the Central Intelligence Agency helping remove Iranian Democrat Mohammad Mosaddegh from power as punishment for nationalizing the country’s oil in 1953 to the 2002 U.S.-Spanish-backed coup attempt against Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, the defacto U.S. protectorates through the second half of the 20th century have constituted some of the most vicious dictatorships in the world. Obviously, the so-called “sound of freedom” would more appropriately be the
sound of fascism.

Fire district plans
New boat, station are too much Editor, Eventually our diligent fire district will be treated to the happiest day of a boat owner’s life, when they sell it. A fire boat, of all things, for $500,000 through a FEMA grant subsidy. Like a horse, however, the initial expense of a boat is soon dwarfed by the ongoing maintenance and outfitting. Some might question just why we need a fire boat since waterfront, or any, fires are not all that common anymore. If that verb is changed to ‘want,’ the question clears up. Water activities haven’t always been the focus of the fire district, however. In the past several years these landlubbers built or expanded five new stations at a cost in excess of $3.5 million and completed a couple of land purchases — 12 acres in Bayview and another 20 down the road. You see,
when an organization has money it gets spent. Since the fire district passed that tax levy in 2012, netting an extra $550,000 per year, they’ve followed the script. The chief’s salary jumped to $95,000, next came the boat, an item which ironically went unmentioned in the levy vote noted above. But these were just warmups for the grand daddy, yet another new fire palace and administrative offices is planned for Bayview. Palace is probably not the right word but ‘station’ seems too modest for such attractive and well appointed structures. In spending, this organization is on a tear. Like Google and Facebook, our fire business is after an expanded presence in the community with more users. Organizations like to grow but this one needs to get back to the basics, which we all appreciate. No need to amass an empire with ambitions that exceed their purpose or the needs of this community. Then again, I guess it’s hard to pass up anything, much less a boat or new digs, when your revenues go from $600,000 to $4

million in 23 years, as the districts did from 1990 to 2013. As a fire district commissioner was quoted in the paper, “We’ve outgrown our space.” I couldn’t agree more and doubt that acquiring more space or boats is the real answer to anything other than more expenses. Sell the boat, get happy, forget that new campus thing and refocus on your ‘real’ mission, which you do so well. DEAN ENELL South Whidbey

Marina expansion won’t float without clearer vision By Ed Jenkins
In response to the Record Aug. 17 editorial, “Marina expansion is worthy investment,” I agree on the face that large, expensive infrastructure projects can sometimes be unpopular but can have long term benefits. The Langley Marina in its present vision is not such a project. Yes, port districts by law must foster economic development but economic development in any definition means financial gain for taxpayers. The Langley Marina does not accomplish this in its present form or thinking. The Record is correct that boating is a huge industry and being a beautiful island it seems natural that we should participate in that business. But, the adage of “build it and they will come” does not always happen. The Record mentions Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge but the reality for taxpayers at the nearby Bremerton Marina is not so rosy. A Kitsap Sun story, “Bremerton Marina tax fell under public’s radar,” reported that “the public’s focus is still on how the $34 million marina was paid
for and the 45 cents per $1,000 tax hit on property for residents within the boundaries of the Port of Bremerton.” A Langley Marina could perhaps be an economic driver if well thought out and actual research and logic directed it. In an emailed response to my public records request in 2012 about marketing studies, Port Manager Ed Field said the port had done absolutely no research about what went wrong with the Bremerton Marina. Field went on to state that growing boat size is a limiting factor to high occupancy rates and, “Therefore, there is no point in competitive marketing efforts and the port does not engage in them at all.” The Bremerton Patriot on April 15, 2013, reported that the Bremerton Port finally hired a consultant for $9,000 a month to implement a marketing plan. The article states that the marina after years of trying is only 30 percent filled. The close by Port Washington Marina is currently in receivership. The amount of money we taxpayers are being obligated to by a port that has no solid idea how the millions of tax dollars will ever be paid back or how
the marina will benefit the taxpayer and businesses outside of Langley is astounding. How will those who do dock in Langley visit businesses outside the city? The port maxed out our credit card – $850,000 – for no measurable economic benefit to taxpayers outside of a Langley few. But wait, the port claims they did not max out the district’s borrowing power. True it can borrow much, much more backed by the full faith and credit of you the taxpayer through higher tax rates with no vote, as the Bremerton Marina did. Let us not forget the port’s own study that determined the marina will never break even without fuel service and 200 slips. So millions obligated to unsuspecting taxpayers and no realistic plan how it will be repaid except by higher taxes. Attend Port meetings and demand to see your tax dollars spent on economic development that benefits everyone, not a few special interests.

There is no Island County code which presumes to authorize the commissioners to hold such additional chair elections. County commissioners must follow state law. When they ignore it, and the citizenry allows it, they make fools of the citizenry. Mr. Harris also asks, “What happens in the event all three county commissioners are first-year first termers?” RCW 36.32.030 clearly states, “the terms shall be staggered so that either one or two commissioners are elected at a general election held in an even-numbered year.” Mr. Harris’ scenario is a nonsequitur.

commissioners in their first year,” which he calls “silly.” In reality, state law is germane, which is not silly. RCW 36.32.100 clearly states “The board of county commissioners at their first session after the general election shall elect one of its number to preside at its meetings.” A general election occurs each and every November. The board meets in session every week, usually twice weekly. Newly-elected commissioners do not assume office until Jan. 1, much later. It is therefore a legal impossibility for a first-year, first-term commissioner to be elected chair under RCW 36.32.100. RCW 36.32.100 mandates when chair election shall occur. It does not authorize chair elections at other times.

Fired-up Falcons: Coach stokes secondary, kickoffs By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record When people watch a South Whidbey High School football game, they notice Leo Langer. He’s hard to miss. In an average game the past seven seasons, he’s the coach yelling the most and the loudest — at everybody, from his players to the referees. Langer, the Falcons’ defensive backs/wide receivers/kickoff coach, is the sideline motivator for South Whidbey, whipping up the off-the-field guys to stay in the game. “I’m an advocate for my team,” said Langer, 42. “I fight for my team.” In the past, his self-described enthusiasm for his team cost them yards in penalties and some stern looks from co-head coaches Andy Davis and Mark Hodson. Last season, however, Langer did not get a single penalty called on him for his sideline behavior, of which he is quite proud. “Those guys have to have some decorum,” said Langer of Davis and Hodson. “I’m not disrespectful.” For all his boisterous nature, it’s his West Virginia mountain man appearance that sticks with people around the Cascade Conference schools and beyond. Langer is lean, but it’s hard to tell when he wears his standard outfit — a blue South Whidbey Falcon football hoodie, blue Falcon football shorts and his iconic Falcon football bucket hat. “That’s his signature hat,” Hodson said, pointing to Langer as he walked to the practice field — a well-faded, once-black bucket hat with the blue Falcon sign, pulled firmly on top of his head. Then there’s his beard which is a bit short these days after a recent shave, though it grew back quickly enough to hang a few solid inches from his chin. “There was a razor that went to

Leo Langer stands resolute as linemen practice behind him. The 42-year-old is in charge of the South Whidbey High School Falcon football team’s secondary, receivers and kickoff. this,” said Langer, touching his right cheek covered in facial hair. “You can’t tell now.” Though Langer looks like he’s straight from the Appalachian Mountains or a long-lost member of the “Duck Dynasty” family, Langer is a West Coast native. He grew up in California and played football at Bakersfield High School, one of the most storied football programs in California. He won the California Interscholastic Federation state title his senior year, when he played linebacker for the Bakersfield Drillers. Langer is one of three coaches on the Falcon football staff who played in college. He attended Bakersfield Junior College and played football for two seasons before transferring to the University of California, Davis, though injuries kept him from playing there. During his junior col-
lege career, Langer moved from the defensive front to the secondary and became a safety. That experience helped him land the job as an assistant coach for South Whidbey’s defensive backs several years ago. “He’s been one of our core coaches of longevity,” said Hodson of Langer. “He’s positive with the kids and he brings enthusiasm to the team … On Friday nights, he’s jumping all over the place.” When Langer was hired almost eight years ago, he was practically unknown to the coaches. Langer worked at the high school as its daytime maintenance worker and got to know Davis a bit, who decided to give him a shot at coaching the secondary during spring workouts. On the first day, the coaches marveled at how he yelled when the first pass was thrown, recalling Langer holler-
ing “Pass! Pass!” and “Ball!” as the football came near the receiver and cornerback. Hodson cited a saying in football that players and teams take on the personalities of its coaches. That rang true for South Whidbey’s secondary and kickoff units. South Whidbey has consistently produced all-Cascade Conference safeties and cornerbacks since Langer came on board, including former players Luke Hodson and Austin Bennett and senior Nick French. Langer coaches his players to take risks, hit hard and to avoid timidity. The secondary has the chance to give up a big play any time the football is thrown — if a cornerback slips, if a safety is late, a touchdown can result. To prepare his “DBs” (defensive backs), he encouraged them to walk backwards whenever

they could and to practice proper backpedaling technique — he says pumping the arms is crucial — in the offseason. Few things are riskier than the onside kick, South Whidbey’s specialty. As the kickoff coach, Langer is in charge of directing the kickoffs after a South Whidbey score or at the start of the half, and Langer is a bit of a madman when he has full control of that unit. “That’s an intense thing,” said Langer of kickoffs. “I love the kickoff. It’s not for the timid … It’s trying to create a car wreck but be under control.” Hodson said South Whidbey’s onside kick caught on last season with its upcoming opening day opponent, Chelan. Langer has matured in his days as a Falcon coach. Eight years ago, he said, he would have done everything he could to keep a player on the field if the player’s grades were low. He understands the Falcon motto of “ohana,” a Hawaiian word for family. Now, he holds his players accountable to the team, and that means keeping their grades up to remain eligible. “A lot of [coaching] is about growing young men,” he said. And there’s also one young woman he’s growing, his 9-year-old daughter, Laura. Spending days at Waterman’s Field with the Falcon football team is all she knows, he said. He even recalled when she was younger and lost a tooth on the field, which made her cry because she couldn’t put it under her pillow for the “Tooth Fairy.” Langer asked Davis to tape an envelope with some cash and Laura’s name on it to the field goal post the next morning before practice. When she saw it, Langer said her eyes lit up. “That’s my life right there,” he said.

Owner of chocolate-themed store ‘pulls them in by their nose’ By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record At the store, people are drawn in by the wafting scent of chocolate in the air. Online, word-of-mouth has garnered a significant following around the world. Marie Lincoln, owner of the Chocolate Flower Farm in Langley, has developed a successful retail store, online product business and farm based on chocolate. “We are on the verge of transitioning from a momand-pop store to a product line,” she said. Lincoln said the scent of all the products draws customers in her store. “I pull them in by their
nose,” she said. Lincoln always wanted to be a gardener and own a specialty nursery. She fell in love with the dark maroon color in plants with a chocolate scent. The farm was intended to be a hobby, not a business. But, after plans for another project-development company abruptly ended, Lincoln and her former business partner put their focus on the nursery. “I thought, ‘Here we go,’” she said. The garden carries a dark dahlia called the “Karma Choc” and a tiger lily called “Night Flyer” along with many other plants with a blackpurple hue. Lincoln even
developed her own flower variety called the Nicotiana “Chocolate Smoke.” To complement the plants, she began to sell chocolate-scented candles from a separate business partner. The candles were a hit right out of the gate with people coming to the store just for the candle, she said. “We were selling them like mad,” she said. Lincoln acquired a space on First Street in Langley and opened the retail store in August, 2005. She began to buy materials to make her own candles and soon after also bought the materials for jam, fudge and body products. The store now carries its own

New Jersey-based Hudson Group for Valentine’s Day. Lincoln does no marketing and relies on word-of-mouth to promote her product line. Lincoln attributes her success to hard work. The recession left many in the horticulture industry out of business. She said having her products for sale online and at the store helped her get through the recession. The retail side is now a bigger part of the business than the plants, she said. “We’re a little farm that could,” she said. A lot of support came from the community both moral and financially, she said. “Local people have helped me get through this and have been the wind underneath my wings,” she said. “I hope everyone can be proud of this business.” Lincoln is now expanding to include a 300-square-foot commercial kitchen with the help of her brother, Mark Lincoln. The kitchen will allow her to work on the products and production at the same time and help her be more efficient, she said. She was also able to hire two employees to help in the shop and at the

farm. Mark Lincoln said it’s wonderful to see his sister’s business develop after a long, tough road. The demographics for the store and nursery are changing; it’s great to see her add different products, he said. As part of the expansion, she plans to add more products to her line including a hot chocolate version of her successful raspberry jam, which will include chipotle peppers. Lincoln said she uses the “spaghetti system,” when trying out new products. “I keep throwing things against the wall hoping something will stick,” she said. Lincoln said she wants people to smile when they leave her store. “That’s the thing I love most about this store, it makes people happy,” she said.
ments obtained by the The Record through a public records request. Anderson’s brother-in-law called the sheriff’s office and asked for a deputy to check on Anderson at the couple’s vacation home. The man said they were unable to reach Anderson by phone and he was due back at his Bothell home hours prior. A deputy found Anderson’s body face-down in the backyard of the vacation home. A small red-handled knife and sheath were found nearby. A detective was unable to find identifiable fingerprints on the knife or sheath. A small incision was located on the right side of Anderson’s neck, in “the area of the jugular vein.” Investigators found no evidence of a struggle or evidence of a break-in at the house. Detective Laura Price obtained video recordings from the Washington State Ferries. One video showed Anderson driving up to the ferry booth; he was alone in the car. Price wrote in her report on the investigation that she had multiple conversations with Bishop and concurs with his finding that Anderson committed suicide. “Neither the detectives nor the coroner found

The petition, however, alleges that Bishop made the determination without adequate investigation and “despite contrary and additional information and without judicial review.” “The cause of death of Martin Anderson has not been properly determined by the coroner as undisputed facts continue to contradict the coroner’s opinion,” Peick wrote in the petition. “The family and coroner met on August 9, 2012, but the coroner refused to consider alternative scenarios or acknowledge the contradictory evidence,” the petition states.
In addition, the petition faults Bishop for not convening an inquest. The last inquest in the county, Banks said, occurred after 23-year-old Edward Gregoire hanged himself in the Oak Harbor jail in 1995. Bishop’s inquest cleared the police of any wrongdoing in the death, but the tragedy spawned a series of lawsuits. In 2005, a jury in Island County found that the police officers were negligent, but not the “proximate cause” of the death. Banks said he was only able to find one example in the state of a successful judicial review of a coroner’s decision. In the famous case, the
Lewis County coroner ruled former State Trooper Ronda Reynolds 1998 shooting death a suicide. Her mother was convinced it was murder and filed a lawsuit against the coroner. After lengthy legal battles, a newly elected coroner held a public inquest and the jurors determined that Reynolds’ death was a homicide and even named suspects. Bishop, the county’s longtime coroner, has a degree in veterinary medicine, but has a certificate as a “medicolegal death investigator.” He also completed a long series of death-investigation classes from St. Louis University.

Religion notes Church considers Christ labor model For this Labor Day weekend, the Christian Science congregation urges people to consider one model for the purpose of labor, Christ Jesus. "From early boyhood he was about his 'Father's business.' Jesus did his own work by the one Spirit. He said: 'My Father worketh hitherto, and I work' … Jesus acted boldly, against the accredited evidence of the senses, against Pharisaical creeds and practices, and he refuted all opponents with his healing power" (Science and Health). Everyone is welcome at the 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 1 Christian Science service that looks at how Jesus incorporated the spiritual into his teaching and work on Earth and how people can follow his teaching to make each day one of purposeful, productive and harmonious employment. Christian Science of Whidbey meets at 15910 Highway 525, just north of Bayview and across from Useless Bay Road. Sunday school is available for all youths.
Christian Science looks at influences "What is influencing

you?" is the topic of the next audio chat hosted by the Christian Science Reading Room at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3. Mary Baker Eddy, a spiritual pioneer and author, wrote in her book "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures:" "In a world of sin and sensuality hastening to a greater development of power, it is wise earnestly to consider whether it is human mind or the divine Mind which is influencing one," (pps. 82-83). Join this chat with Elizabeth Kellogg, a Christian Science healer, who will answer questions on this topic, or log on to www.jsh-online. com/chats. The Reading Room is located at 721 S.W. 20th Court, near Scenic Heights in Oak Harbor.

The work of volunteers sparked the interest of a new volunteer, a lifelong angler, who will hang up his rod and reel for the benefit of Good Cheer’s clients. Mark Nudelman of Greenbank offered to collect anglers’
catches in a cooler filled with ice and take them to the food bank in Bayview. “I was down at Bush Point and there were 100 people there, all limiting,” said Nudelman, 46. “I can’t imagine most people wouldn’t give a clean fish … I wish I could do it more than a day or two a week.” He said he plans to be at Bush Point at least one day a week with a cooler and a

Collecting salmon was about as far as his help would go though, for good reason. “You don’t want me filleting your fish, believe me,” Nudelman said. Derby results Scott Fair won the top prize, a Weber Spirit barbecue and cover, with a 7.14pound pink salmon — the second-largest pink recorded in the short history of the Freeland Ace derby. Dan Simpson followed with the second-place pink salmon of 7.04 pounds.
