School Board reviews gun, weapons rules By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record The South Whidbey School Board has approved a small policy change regarding dangerous weapons at school. The existing policy prevents any person from carrying a firearm or dangerous weapon on school premises, school-provided transportation or other facilities used for school purposes. Last week, the school board agreed that parents or guardians and appropriate law enforcement agencies would be notified in the event of known or suspected violations. The policy change was a recommendation by the Washington State School Directors’ Association. This change was something that was necessary, Superintendent Jo Moccia said. It makes sure to inform parents of any SEE GUN POLICY, A24

Henry Zontine takes a break from hanging from the statue at Boy and Dog Park with his sister, Madeleine, riding the dog in Langley on Tuesday. The 4 and 2 year olds were out with their mother during Henry’s last week of summer, which will end Monday when he begins kindergarten at the Waldorf School in Clinton.
The Port of South Whidbey commissioners began the process this week of reviewing and prioritizing long-term goals for the district’s strategic plan. The board met Thursday, Sept. 5, to go over questions regarding a study on economic trends within port boundaries prepared by Bothell-based BST Associates. Commissioner Curt Gordon said it was helpful to hear the responses from the firm’s representative, Paul Sorensen, regarding the population demographic for the strategic plan. “If we want to accurately represent our SEE PORT STUDY, A13

Navy to conduct environmental study on jet noise By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record The Navy said this week it will conduct an Environmental Impact Statement for Outlying Field Coupeville and Whidbey Island Naval Air Station on North Whidbey. While the Navy said in a statement that EIS plans were in the works for some time, members of a Coupevillebased citizen group claim the decision is the result of a federal lawsuit they filed in July against the Navy. The group — Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Healthy, Safe and Peaceful Environment, or COER — hoped the lawsuit would compel the Navy to suspend training operations at OLF and result in a study. The Navy suspended operations at OLF in June though the end of 2013. Though the demands of the lawsuit have apparently been met by the Navy, the group’s attorney, David Mann, said they don’t intend to dismiss their lawsuit just yet. Mann expressed concerns with some of the language in the Navy’s notice of intent, which he suspects indicate that they will be using the most current noise levels as the baseline from which they will do their study. “What they looked at in 2005 was wrong,” Mann said. “They have to address the existing and additional noise impacts. We are going to wait until we see the scope of what the Navy’s going to do.” Nevertheless, Mann said, “members of COER are of course ecstatic that the Navy

replacement squadron. It also intends to look at constructing and renovating facilities at Ault Field over a three-year period and stationing an additional 860 personnel and their families. Ken Pickard, president of the Coupeville citizens group, said in a released statement that things appear to be “going well” and that both the suspension of operations at OLF and the EIS are a prod-
uct of the group’s lawsuit. “Interestingly, immediately after getting sued the Navy suspended all flights at OLF Coupeville through the end of 2013,” Pickard said. “So, they have not flown here since May and what a blessing it has been, our homes are habitable, our gardens able to be visited and worked in and all are so thankful to have this break and enjoy our homes and National Park here.”

WHIDBEY Pro-OLF petition gains support A hand-written petition supporting the Navy and its touch-and-go operations at Outlying Field Coupeville has gathered more than 1,650 signatures since last month. Conceived by former Island County commissioner and retired Navy veteran Mac McDowell, the petition first appeared for signatures at the Aug. 10 car show in Oak Harbor. “We want to show our support to the Navy and to OLF and the operations they perform there,”
McDowell said. The petition is not intended to replace an already-existing online petition, he said. McDowell said the most interesting part of his signature gathering is the feedback he is receiving from Coupeville residents who live near OLF but say they aren’t bothered by the noise or don’t plan to complain about it.
FREELAND Man drowns near Bush Point Freeland resident Jerry Ruzicka drowned Wednesday evening while fishing off Bush Point. He was 87. Ruzicka was fishing with a woman in a boat on the west side of Whidbey Island, when the small craft tipped over sending both of them into the water. It was unclear as of press time what
caused the boat to tip. A 9-1-1 call at 5:38 p.m. reported two people in the water between South Whidbey State Park and Bush Point. A good Samaritan was able to bring both people to shore by the time first responders from Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue arrived and started CPR. Assistant Chief Chad Michael said Ruzicka was not breathing and did not have a pulse by the time he was transported to Whidbey General Hospital. Island County Coroner Robert Bishop said Ruzicka was pronounced dead at 7:27 p.m. at Whidbey General Hospital by Dr. John Sherman. An autopsy was performed Friday morning, which Bishop said confirmed Ruzicka drowned. Ruzicka was not wearing a personal flotation device, but the woman had one on. Michael wanted to remind people to wear

LANGLEY Concern grows over stairway Replacing the many steps from First Street to Seawall Park is a growing concern for Langley’s city leaders. City council members said they wanted to form a committee to review plans for replacing the stairs at Boy and Dog Park and maintaining the bluff that overlooks Saratoga Passage. Recently hired Public Works Director Maria Cablao said she will seek pro-bono design work for new steps. She also cautioned the council that designing an entirely new stairway will cost “far more” than replacing the existing system that zigzags down. Councilwoman Rene Neff wanted to see new landscaping on the bluff to expose more of the water view and better stabilize the land. One of the thorns in the city’s side is the overgrown bramble
of blackberry bushes that snake through the steps. “It is a safety issue,” Neff said. Mayor Fred McCarthy reminded the city council that he hopes cost savings on the $2.1 million Second Street redesign project may be used to fund other projects, such as the stairs at Boy and Dog Park. Langley approved $750,000 in councilmanic bonds, non-tax money the city will pay back over 20 years.

Langley looks to future with economic forum By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record With hopes of ushering in a new age of prosperity, Langley officials will hold the first of three planned economic forums next week. The series, which will run through November, is expected to host a wide variety of stakeholders, from business owners and government leaders to city residents. The idea is to get everyone together and provide the framework for a long-term action plan focused on economic development, said Rene Neff, a city councilwoman and forum organizer. “We’ve invited as many stakeholders as we could think of,” Neff said. “This is sponsored by the city but this is really the community’s event.” The first meeting will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10, at the Methodist Church on Third Street and Anthes Avenue. Subsequent forums will be held in October and November. Neff, who also owns a business in town, said the need for such a forum was hatched when her son and daughterin-law returned home from three years in Africa. They quickly noted several empty storefronts and that the city lacked opportunities that would attract and retain a younger demographic. “They want to live here but there aren’t enough things to do,” Neff said. Vacant buildings, few liv-

coordination and community vision, she said. The city council was
quick to endorse a plan that pro-actively addressed the issue and Neff and fellow Councilman Bruce Allen have worked together ever since to plan the forums. Tuesday’s event will include presentations from several community leaders: Langley Main Street Association’s Janet Ploof will discuss empty storefronts, Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Chris Jerome will talk about the district’s master plan, Lynn Willeford is set to discuss lending on Whidbey Island and Carrie Whitney will speak about investing in arts and culture. Some Langley business owners are applauding the city’s move to tackle economic development head on. “I’m glad to see they are stepping up,” said Michele LaRue, a longtime First Street merchant. “I think we’re all looking for some answers and it will be good to have everyone in the same room.” LaRue’s sister recently closed her store, The Cottage, after 38 years in business. While LaRue said she retired after a long and successful run, the economy
Rene Neff was a factor in her sister’s decision to lock the doors. Business has been sluggish in recent years and LaRue is “curious and thankful” for the opportunity but plans for the future still have to make sense, she said. Economic development is a worthy and necessary ambition but it shouldn’t come at the expense of Langley’s great strengths, such as its small-town charm, she said. “It has to be balanced,” LaRue said. Others are less optimistic. Bob Trenchard, also a business owner, said at last week’s city council meeting that similar meetings have

been held in the past and little came of them. Trenchard could not be reached for additional comment Thursday. Others, however, may also share the concern that the forum will be nothing more than talk. Mayor Fred McCarthy is supportive of the forums and doesn’t want that to happen. He is eager to hear from stakeholders about what they think needs to happen. He’s looking for ideas but also to identify leaders who might serve on a “blue-ribbon commission,” which he hopes to organize next year. The group would be dedicated to economic development and would work to implement some of the plans laid during the forums. “It’s a natural lead-in for forming a formal group,” McCarthy said. Neff agrees. She believes this is “an opportunity to really talk with people” and have an objective discussion about where things stand now, what the future could hold and, most importantly, how to get there. There are lots of good ideas out there, but follow through will be key, she said.

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
By KEVEN R. GRAVES
It’s been more than two decades since Wallie Funk retired after many years as co-publisher of the South Whidbey Record, but his legacy thrives, not only through this community newspaper, but through his art donation this past weekend to the City of Oak Harbor. Anyone who knows Wallie recognizes his distinctive booming voice instantly — if it doesn’t shake the rafters, it certainly should. In addition to several decades worth of newspapers and photographs chronicling life on Whidbey Island during a different time in history, the sculpture is just one more of Wallie’s many generous and meaningful contributions. Some of those gifts may be less tangible than a sculpture, but all are nonetheless invaluable. For those who don’t know Wallie, he was co-owner of the Whidbey News-Times and South Whidbey Record for decades. I had the good fortune of meeting Wallie while working on my high school newspaper, and the even better fortune of having him as a mentor and role model, a relationship that remains intact to this day. Over the years, Wallie became a highly regarded community leader. When he took you to lunch, it took half an hour to get to the table because he had hands to shake, backs to pat and stories to share. If he realized how important he was, it wasn’t something he lorded over anyone. I suspect that, even to this day, he would laugh robustly at the very notion he did anything but what a newspaper publisher was supposed to be doing. Longtime readers may remember Wallie’s weekly column, “Whidbey Wrap Up.” It was a mixture of local items of note, politics and humorous observances. Along with the lighter items in his column, there were fascinating glimpses into Wallie’s world. In October 1980, for example, Wallie wrote in his column that then-state Attorney General Slade Gorton dropped in, “tieless and shirtsleeves,” seeking support in his bid to unseat veteran Sen. Warren Magnuson. Many local, state and federal politicians, as well as countless other community leaders, took a seat in Wallie’s woodpaneled office over the years, probably distracted as I once was by the countless photos, awards and mounted crosssection of a tail hook that hung on the wall behind his desk. And, like me, they were probably seeking his approval. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that it was critical to win Wallie’s support if a politician hoped to have any chance of winning the votes of Whidbey residents, especially on the SEE COLUMN, A7

Letters Fire district
Letter writer was mistaken Editor, My responsibility as fire chief is to ensure the accuracy of information about your fire department and I must correct inaccuracies in Mr. Enell’s recent letter to the editor. The fire district built and remodeled a number of stations over 23 years, not the “past several years” as he states. New stations were built to last 50 to 75 years and stations built in the 1970s were remodeled to extend their life. We first budgeted for the boat in 2010. It has been publicly discussed at fire and port district meetings since. During our levy discussions our budget was made available to everyone who asked for it. The boat was clearly presented.
My salary did not “jump” after the levy vote. My salary was fixed by my first three-year contract, increased only by cost-ofliving adjustments. I renewed my three-year contract in January and did not request a salary increase. The board renewed a contract to redesign our proposed Bayview administration building to downsize and make it affordable. The station is on hold and not under consideration at this time. Department revenue is $3.6 million. What Mr. Enell doesn’t tell you is that $837,000 of it comes from federal grants for specific projects. That money comes from our federal taxes, so we each pay a much smaller per-capita share. That makes grantfunded projects a good buy for each of us. Mr. Enell believes the district is on a spending tear and would like you

to believe that something untoward is afoot. Not so. We have very smart fire district commissioners who make every decision considering the impact to taxpayers. The board challenges me to provide the level of service you expect at the lowest cost. We have the largest call volume, the largest number of volunteers, and the largest fire service area in Island County and yet we have one of the lowest levy rates. Your money is spent with us looking out 25 to 50 years. That makes your investment in us much more valuable. If you have questions I am at your service. RUSTY PALMER chief SW Fire/EMS

Editor, I feel sorry for the people in the Bayview area who will see their local Star Store close. We visit the Langley Star Store almost daily. The Feltons should be commended on giving both their customers and their staff almost five months notice before closing the Bayview store. The amusing part of this article is where Gene Felton says he “looks forward to hearing from Bayview staff about what worked at the store, particularly their successful methods of cultivating customer relationships.” If you’ve been to the Langley store, you will see Gene do everything from working in the office, running a cash register, bagging groceries or taking out the trash.

Navy commander forgot sworn duty Editor, The viewpoint article published in the Aug. 21 edition of The Record by retired Navy Cmdr. William Simons is a little disturbing. He stated “that anyone who, through words or actions, endangers my friends or comrades-in-arms is the enemy.” With due respect, I would like to point out to Simons that the enemy was always defined for him by his superior officers and ultimately

the President of the United States and as a United States naval officer, he was never given the authority to choose who his enemy was or is. His job was to follow orders, ostensibly to safeguard the people of the United States and their freedoms, among which is the freedom to have and express opinions and to take peaceful action to resolve disputes. In the discussion of the OLF operations, I am sure no one outside of the lunatic fringe on either side wishes harm to members of our armed forces. We know we need to keep our pilots current and in practice. But jet noise is very loud and disturbing especially under the departure path of those Navy jets. So I believe the people who live around OLF are simply asking that the Navy provide such training and practice facilities elsewhere. That is their right and if the Navy does not give them satisfaction, it is also their right to sue. Commander Simons, you were sworn to protect that right and, I believe, did so for 30 years. Our military is not charged with protecting its own. It is charged with protecting the citizens of the United States and their constitutional freedoms. Defining people with a different opinion does not warrant them becoming the

Syria
Violence not the answer in Syria Editor, In the past decade the United States has engaged in two largely unsuccessful military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan at a considerable cost of money, lives, and international respect. The American people are now asked, through their Congressional reps, to support yet another potentially disastrous military intervention in Syria with equally clouded rationale, purpose and goals. We oppose this proposed military intervention. The reports of the atrocities committed against the people of Syria, particularly the recent allegations of the use of chemical weapons, are horrendous. While we strongly denounce the use of chemical weapons, we also believe that we cannot respond with violence. A unilateral U.S. attack on Syria, even limited, will introduce further
instability, fear, and violence into the already tumultuous situation. There are people on both sides of the conflict, as well as other international powers, who oppose the use of American force. Voices from religious and political leadership here and abroad, as well as millions of people of faith and good will throughout the world, have affirmed that the path of dialogue and negotiations among all components of Syrian society, with the backing of the international community, is the only option to end the conflict and the violence that each day cause the loss of so many human lives, most of all among the defenseless population. On behalf of the Whidbey Island Friends Meeting we strongly urge our fellow citizens to advocate against military intervention in Syria by contacting Congressman Rick Larsen, Sen. Maria Cantwell and Sen. Patty Murray and ask them to choose sustainable peace efforts through diplomacy. The use of military might may seem to be more immediately satisfying, but our Quaker experience is that
the slower process of nonviolent engagement has historically proven to better address and ameliorate complicated foreign affairs by providing for human rights and the primary needs of the people caught in the tragedy and aftermath of war. To allow us to discuss the Syrian situation as a community, the Whidbey Island Friends Meeting (Quakers) are organizing a dessert fundraiser at the Trinity Church Hall Annex in Freeland for this Sunday evening, Sept. 8, 7-9 p.m. All are welcome. This gathering will also be an opportunity for us as individuals and as a community to petition our Congressional representatives.

2013 FALL SPORTS PREVIEW Falcon football
Offense may take to the air with savvy seniors By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Falcon fans, look to the sky for offensive fireworks this season. Things have fallen into place for the South Whidbey High School football team to take flight. Riding the experience of senior quarterback Nick French, senior running back Cooper Nichols and senior receivers Nick Bennett, Kale Reichersamer and Jordan Parrick, South Whidbey hopes to vie for a Cascade Conference regular season title and a state tournament berth. “They’re expecting a lot out of us this year,” Reichersamer said of the Falcon coaching staff, led by cohead coaches Andy Davis and Mark Hodson. Crowns are earned, however, not given in the Cascade Conference. For years, 2A powerhouses Archbishop Murphy, Cedarcrest and Lakewood have reigned atop the conference standings. In the mix the past few seasons is 1A King’s, South Whidbey’s toughest test to qualify for the 1A district playoffs. “They’re always in our sights,” Parrick said. “We don’t take [those games] off at all.” “I feel like it’s up for grabs,” added Reichersamer. Last season, South Whidbey finished fifth in the eight-team league. The Falcons scratched out a 4-6 record with a non-league, non-playoff 48-13 win against Vashon Island. Keeping South Whidbey from finishing with a .500 record was an 18-13 loss to island rival Coupeville on South Whidbey’s home field three weeks earlier. “It was tough watching from the sideline,” said Reichersamer, who was injured in the second game of

Beck Davis, a senior lineman, pushes a teammate off the line during drills prior to the season’s first game. the season and sat out the rest of the year. The Wolves took home the coveted bucket, a long tradition on Whidbey. South Whidbey’s seniors have their eyes on bringing the bucket back to Waterman’s Field this season after a late-season game up Highway 525. South Whidbey entered last year’s game ill-prepared mentally, Parrick said. Once Coupeville took the lead, the Falcons were “shocked,” and
never recovered. That game was telling of last season’s team and several other past South Whidbey teams — squads that started the game flat and tried to rebound after halftime. Things will be different this year, according to team leaders, as South Whidbey hopes to “pack a punch” in the first possession of each game. “No one took Coupeville seriously,” Parrick said. “Obviously, this year we will.”
Chelan was the first test of the 2013 season. South Whidbey began a series with the Chelan Goats last year with a visit east, yielding a 28-15 Falcon win. It was the debut of a fastpaced offense by South Whidbey, one that worked effectively. The Falcons hope to capitalize on a similar style of uptempo plays, getting the ball into the hands of skilled players quickly. Conditioning will play a major part in the team’s ability to gain new sets of downs
and tiring defense. At the end of a trading-possession game, spring practices, summer workouts and the early season beach days will come in handy. “A lot of it is mental toughness,” Parrick said. Last season, South Whidbey averaged 23.4 points per game, the fifth most. But, the Falcons allowed 29.3 per game, the fourth-least in the conference. Chewing up time of possession was not part of South Whidbey’s game plan. Although it used two running backs last year, including Nichols, South Whidbey was built to highlight its playmakers with short, quick passes and tosses. Relying on Nichols, more of a speedy back than a bruiser, could mean more catches for the senior.

2013 SOUTH WHIDBEY HIGH SCHOOL FALL SPORTS PREVIEW
Falcon volleyball Senior squad relies on experience for run at state By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Third place in 2012 was good, but South Whidbey volleyball has its sights set on first place. That starts with a firstplace finish in the Cascade Conference, then in the District 1 playoffs, in the tridistrict tournament and the 1A state tournament. That means there is a long road ahead of the Falcons that finished 8-6 last season in conference play and 10-9 overall. "This year, we will be in it," said senior setter Meagan Longdon. "We can beat anybody." South Whidbey took a major step forward at the end of the regular season last year when it defeated Archbishop Murphy, 3-1. It was the first time in head coach Mandy Jones' five-year career that South Whidbey beat Archbishop Murphy, a private Catholic school in south Everett.

Falcon cross country Off successful year for girls at state championship, boys aim to catch up By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Running hundreds of miles in the spring and summer is where state titles are made, and that secret is well known to the South Whidbey cross country teams. The boys ran between 15 and 25 miles per week from late June to late August. The Falcon girls followed suit with a similar regimen of five miles per day, six days each week. With miles like that logged on the 30-member strong program, senior Gavin Imes has high hopes for the boys squad. Last year, the girls team qualified for the state 1A championship meet, and he wants the boys team to follow this season. “The guys team is looking pretty good this year,” he said. The top six teams from the 1A tri-district meet will advance to the state championship meet. Given the returning group of varsity runners like Imes and junior Cole Zink, the squad believes it can finish as high as fourth place or even

Falcon girls soccer
Small program hopes to stay healthy for playoff push By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Wins are slowly adding to one another for the South Whidbey girls soccer team under third-year head coach Ben Rusch. He and a trio of seniors have grand plans for the team this season, jumping from a sub-.500 squad to an over.500 winner. Last year, the Falcons finished with a 5-9 league record, 5-11 overall. That means South Whidbey faces an uphill battle to get over the hump with at least three more wins in Cascade Conference play. “We need to stick through the games, even the tough ones,” said senior midfielder Maia Sparkman. “A lot of winning depends on a team’s focus and bonding.” The latter, Sparkman says, is something the Falcons have covered to start the season. In the past, South Whidbey girls soccer dealt with personnel issues: players not getting along with one

Season opens with varsity spots up for grabs By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Replacing nine players, many of them four-year lettermen, is the tough task ahead of South Whidbey’s boys tennis program. There are plenty of suitors to take those spots this season, head coach Karyle Kramer’s third at the helm. With four-year players like Austin Drake and Jack Hood, the team set its sights on making a run in the tri-district tournament and earning a spot in the state tournament this season. Along the way, the Falcons’ lineup will shuffle regularly, a hallmark of Kramer’s system. Rotating players from singles to doubles and changing partners is key to her program, one that wants to discover which players jell, or don’t, and encourages them to learn to play tennis as a lifelong sport. “We’re going to mix it up and see who works well together,” said senior Jack Hood, who usually plays

"We're better at hitting our zones," Longdon said. South Whidbey barely retooled its varsity lineup having lost only two seniors, though one was the starting middle hitter where the Falcons found much of their success. This year, South Whidbey's coaches hope to use outside hitters like Mackenzie Hezel, Carlee Mills, Anne Madsen and Abby Hodson to replace graduated player Hannah Calderwood. Perhaps the most consistent person on the floor for South Whidbey the past three seasons is Longdon. For most of her career, she has seen frequent action on the court as the team's setter, sometimes as a pair with another setter to ensure the hitters get the right ball for a kill. She spent time in the offseason at a volleyball camp with several members of the team, an experience she said carried over into practices this season. Drills are faster, and Jones said she wants to have fun with her team and will try to stay positive with the girls through their mistakes, a change from seasons past. "We're all wanting to lay it all out," Longdon said. The road to the 1A playoffs is guarded by one powerhouse in the Cascade Conference: King's. Last year, the Lady Knights finished with a 14-0 league record, 20-2 overall, and
Falcons in the mix for at least fifth place, if not higher. At the bottom of the standings is South Whidbey’s geographical rival, Coupeville, which finished 1-13 and 1-16 overall. The two matches this season are bound to be gritty, as both squads will look to rebound from a 1-0 shootout game last season which South Whidbey won. Sparkman, for her part, wants to trounce Coupeville in the rematches this year. “I want to get a solid win against Coupeville, a buttwhipping game,” she said. The Falcons lost a cadre of seniors to graduation, including surprise standout goalkeeper Ellie Greene. Replacing her was a crucial decision for Rusch, and it appeared early in the year that junior Grace Stringer would take over in the box. Katie Sibley, one of the Falcons’ most veteran defenders, returned after nearly leaving Whidbey Island for her senior year. Her presence will help stabilize an experienced but young defense that also features returners Kendra Warwick and Anni Field, both sophomores. Numbers were low this year for the girls soccer team, with a total of 28 players trying out. It was enough to field two teams, though with 11 players on the field at a

The weight of staying healthy and well-conditioned concerned the seniors, who know the importance of keeping girls on the field. “It’s really stressful to not have a full team as a backup,” Sparkman said. South Whidbey’s final
home game, also the Falcons’ senior night, of the regular season will be against Granite Falls, which finished in third place last year. It’s a more promising prospect than facing top teams Archbishop Murphy, which had an undefeated conference season, and King’s, which went 12-2.

girls squad. “I’m not sure what happened,” Workman said. “But I’m glad it happened.” She and the other varsity runners will try to return to the state 1A championship meet this year, thanks to an influx of young, talented runners like junior Emma Lungren, sophomores Mallorie Mitchem, Carson Keeley-Orr, Anna Justus, Ellie Boone and freshman
Kinsey Eager. Keeping them all healthy will be crucial to team success, an issue at the start of the season after running 30 miles a day in the summer. “A lot of the girls have gotten injured because they trained so hard this summer,” Workman said. Last season, the Falcons’ varsity runners clustered between the low 21-minute and the mid 23-minute range. If they can bring it closer to an average of 21 minutes, South Whidbey should do well.
“We’re all really excited,” Workman said. “I know our girls team will go far this season.” South Whidbey canceled its trip to Seaside, Oregon for the Three Course Challenge. It will, however, return to Yakima in October for the Sunfair Invitational. The Falcons have one home meet scheduled during the regular season, the South Whidbey Invite, and one postseason meet for the Cascade Conference and WESCO 3A/4A championships Oct. 26.

Hood and Drake said they looked forward to matches against Friday Harbor and Anacortes, the former for the trip and the latter for the challenge. South Whidbey is one of three teams in the Cascade Conference that fields a boys tennis team; the others are Coupeville and Archbishop Murphy. The true test for the Falcons will be opponents from the larger District 1 and tri-district area which includes Whatcom County schools like Bellingham and private schools Seattle Academy and Overlake. Players from private schools defeated South Whidbey last season in the state-qualifying round, including Charles Wright Academy, Overlake, Cascade Christian

Gallery remembers South Whidbey Artist By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record The work of Ken Hassrick, a longtime figurative artist on the Island, is being remembered at Blooms Winery Taste for Wine & Art for the next two months. The pieces cover Hassrick’s work as he explored the relationship between realism and the abstract of the female figure. The gallery will show 21 pieces from the artist with proceeds benefitting the Arts in Education program, which is sponsored by the Whidbey Island Arts Council. Before Hassrick passed away in 2004, he shared with Frank Rose, a friend and member of the council, that he wanted his work to go back into the arts community. Together, they reviewed his work and developed several shows, he said. In a press release, Hassrick was quoted as saying of the female figure, “It is without a doubt one of the most complicated and ever variable of subjects. In seeing these paintings, I hope you will find some of the excitement and enjoyment that I have found in creating them.” Hassrick began many of the pieces shown at the gallery by working in charcoal first. He then applied a water-based acrylic spray to his work before backfilling

The show also features artist Richard Rhydes in his first gallery showing. Rhydes is also an admirer of Hassrick’s work and was thrilled to be a part of the show, Bloom said. Rhydes’ work features paintings and landscapes using the pointillism style, a technique using dots with the tip of a brush to form a larger image.

Curt Gordon, port commissioner, and Angi Mozer, finance manager, listen to a presentation on the economic trends for the port district during a meeting Thursday, Sept. 5.
PORT STUDY CONTINUED FROM A1
constituents, we need to know who they are.” Gordon said. “Sorensen gave some really good insight.” The board looked for ways to create job opportunities in the area based on information from the economic trends presentation. Approximately 71 percent of households in the district have income from employment earnings and 29 percent rely on investments, social security and/or public assistance with no income from earnings. Sorensen said it’s typical for households to have several forms of income. Sorensen found that a lot of people who live in the district commute away from the area to work. About 7,659 people were employed of the
13,485 people in the labor force, based on information from the 2011 U.S. Census. Of those, more than 3,500 people lived and worked on South Whidbey and about 1,835 were self-employed. The overall unemployment rate was 5.1 percent, with people between the ages of 16 and 24 making up the largest group. Sorensen identified a lack of job opportunities in the area with many workers commuting outside the district. He also found of the 3,165 jobs within port boundaries, 1,463 were taken by residents outside the area. Commissioner Dennis Gregoire was concerned if the boating facilities were adequate enough for the population increase during the summer months. Sorensen said the port’s assets are heavily invested in boating facilities and that the
WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM
commissioners should be cautious about making additional marine-related investments due to the changing demographics in boating. He said the average age of boaters is pushing 60 years old. “Just because you have facilities, in my opinion, isn’t a reason to continue to have them working unless you really know there’s a constituency,” Sorensen said. More residents would like to engage in canoeing or kayaking more often, according to data Sorensen compiled concerning recreational activities. The commissioners also looked to Sorensen for advice on how to cater to future populations. Ways to create more jobs, he said, are to increase water-dependent commercial operations, such as charter operators or tour boats; provide moorage for commuter and passenger ferries and park and ride lots; obtain grants or partner up with relevant stakeholders to improve access to industrial properties; or look into more water-dependent manufacturing operations. For commuters, things work well on the island but off-island commuting becomes more difficult, Sorensen said. Gordon said that is an area where he sees potential and he was glad Sorensen
supported the concept. The board then reviewed their goals and objectives with representatives from Seattle-based Makers Urban Architecture and Design. The company developed a draft strategic plan for the port to develop a framework for the final plan near the end of September. In separate interviews, the company found the commissioners had four main goals for the port: enhance the island’s economy, maintain and protect waterfront public access and recreational opportunities, improve the port’s financial performance, and enhance community relations and partnership possibilities. Julie Bassuk of Makers Design said she wanted to provide a clear focus for the plan on what the port wants to accomplish in the next one to five years. Gordon said he was pleased with the work from both companies and thought they encapsulated the goals of the commissioners well. Gregoire said it was a good discussion, but there’s still more to talk about. The board’s next meeting is at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10 at the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District’s headquarters on Maxwelton Road.

Sprucing up Langley, one plant at a time
Celeste Erickson / The Record
Bernita Sanstad and Janet Ploof plant chrysanthemums along Second Street to ready the gardens for fall.
By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Community members gathered to plant new life around Langley during the third monthly Spruce Up Langley event Thursday, Sept. 5. Three people joined to plant 12 fall-colored chrysanthemums in two locations along Second Street in Langley. The group worked for about an hour to complete the job. Janet Ploof, president of the Langley Main Street Association, said she would like more people to get
involved with the spruce-up project to help the city look its best. Ploof said the gardens provide a way to draw people in to the community. Bernita Sanstad took part in the event and said the gardens are a good way to welcome people to Langley. Sanstad gardens at the vegetable garden in front of City Hall every day. She considers herself a garden ambassador for the city. The event is the first Thursday of each month. For more information, visit www.langleymainstreet.org

Summer veggies; here today, gone tomorrow “The zucchinis don’t know their days are counting down, nor do the tomatoes, green beans, squash, lettuces, peppers, cucumbers.”
WHIDBEY RECIPES Margaret Walton As hard as it is to believe, Labor Day is over and school has started. I’ve been hearing one common lament from so many friends and family members: “Where did the summer go, how can Labor Day have already come and gone?” And along with that bit of whining comes the other most commonly heard remark of these past couple of months, “hasn’t it been the most gorgeous summer we’ve had in years?” Yes, it’s been outstanding, and I don’t want to hear from anyone’s lips that tired old phrase that begins, “but all good things ... .” In our rather large and extended family, which is heavily laced with Husky fans, there’s one other countdown going on, and that’s the number of days, even hours, until that first game whistle is about to
be blown in the new Husky Stadium. A few football-crazed members of my family have held season tickets to Husky games for more than 30 years, and claim never to have missed a game, which simply amazes me. I don’t admit to them that the beginning of football season to me is simply one more reminder that summer has ended, which is nothing to cheer about. But if we’re lucky, September will turn itself into an Indian Summer, not unusual in our area, and we’ll continue to bask in the sun beneath those incredibly blue skies of early fall. And of course, everything in our gardens will be going through one last burst of production and ripening, and we’ll be trying to deal with the abundance — feast on it all — before it’s suddenly cut down by that first frost. The zucchinis don’t know their days are counting down, nor do the tomatoes, green beans, squash, lettuces, peppers, cucumbers; all the things so carefully planted during what seems only a few weeks ago, and some of which are just now reaching their peak. Our fig tree, usually very reluctant to give us more than a handful of figs, has not only showered me with ripe figs, it’s already working on a second crop, and I’m not about to tell it that perhaps it’s being a bit optimistic. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six ... farewell to August. We’ll be here, waiting for
you, same time next year.
RECIPES So let’s address the happy hassle of trying to enjoy all of the gardenfresh fruits and vegetables available now and, hopefully, for another month and perhaps a bit more. This first recipe makes use of several of your fresh garden vegetables, and is a creamy, vegetarian pasta dish, excellent as the main event with a fresh garden greens salad and garlic bread.
GARDEN FRESH SPECIAL 1 cup fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces 1/2 cup bias-sliced fresh carrots 1 cup fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces 1 cup broccoli or cauliflower florets 12 oz. fettuccine, linguine, vermicelli or spaghetti, whichever you prefer 1 small red pepper and 1 small yellow pepper, cut into bite-size strips 1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced (about 1 cup) 2 T. butter 1 small onion, cut into thin wedges 2-4 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth 3/4 cup whipping cream 2 T. flour 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

Ebey’s Reserve races way to hot rod airwaves By NATHAN WHALEN South Whidbey Record Two race car drivers sped through one of the most picturesque parts of Ebey’s Landing in a flash. Justin Bell and Townsend Bell (no relation) spent a quiet Wednesday afternoon last week racing a Lexus IS 350 FSPORT. They raced down Ebey Road, drifted through a hair-pin turn onto Hill Road near the bluff trail, regained speed as they whizzed by the beach before negotiating a series of curves on the narrow road in the woods before speeding past a historic, red barn located just outside the treeline. As for who won? Tune in to “Shut up and Drive” to find out. The show featuring Ebey’s Landing airs at noon, Sunday, Sept. 29 on Fox Sports 1. Justin Bell, who has competed in the 24-hours of Le Mans, and Townsend Bell, who has raced in the Indianapolis 500, are the hosts of the latest driving show to appear on television.
Nathan Whalen / The Record
A film crew tapes a Lexus IS 350 FSPORT as it races onto Hill Road on Central Whidbey last week. An episode of “Shut up and Drive” will appear on Fox Sports 1 Sunday, Sept. 29. Justin, who is from London, said it’s not just the actual road that is being featured, but the environment. He noted the beauty of the trip to Whidbey Island, which included a ferry ride along with a drive through most of the island before ending up on a remote beach near Coupeville. He was surprised
at the weather swings he noticed throughout the day, which included periods of sun, fog and rain. Townsend said he always enjoys visiting the Pacific Northwest. This week’s visit marked the first time he visited Whidbey Island. The 1.8 mile-course provided some surprises for
Townsend. “The road was a bit more daunting than I expected,” Townsend said. He described the course as fast and said the moisture in the woods posed some concerns. “Shut Up and Drive,” which airs on the newly formed Fox Sports 1, seeks to find amazing roads for two

CHURCH DIRECTORY
drivers to race their vehicles. “It’s every car guy’s dream to find the perfect stretch of road,” said Bobby Akin, vice president for Fox Sports. The show has already filmed episodes in the Rowena Loop in Oregon and the Valley of Fire in Nevada. Akin said Ebey’s Landing was chosen out of 70 possible locations. The coastline, forest lands and the undulating roads made Whidbey a good choice for the television program. “Half of my crew wants to live here,” Akin said. The production of “Shut Up and Drive” brought a crew of around 40 people to Whidbey Island. They shot on Wednesday and Thursday after spending the earlier part of the week in Seattle. To allow for the driving through Ebey’s Landing, Ebey Road at Cook Road and Hill Road were intermittently closed on both days. Island County Sheriff’s deputies oversaw the road closures. A low-flying helicopter was used during the production. It took a month for the produc-
tion company to go through the permitting process. Whidbey Island has enjoyed some exposure in print and television. Sherrye Wyatt, marketing and public relations director for Whidbey Camano Islands Tourism, said she has been hosting travel writers visiting Whidbey Island throughout the summer. In July, King 5’s Evening Magazine featured a Coupeville purse shop and scouting is currently underway for an independent feature film that will be shot on Whidbey. “We hope the exposure from the production will be positive for Whidbey Island,” Wyatt said. She said she has been working with Washington Filmworks, which is a nonprofit tasked with attracting film projects to the state. She has provided the agency with a catalogue of film-friendly locations throughout the county and state. She said she works with state agencies to find projects that are both a good fit for film companies and for the Island County community.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: PISCES, ARIES, AND TAURUS.
ARIES
You already feel like you’re in a rut, even though the summer is barely over. Come up with a new plan, because you are definitely in need of a change. Careful preparing will help it succeed slowly but surely. TAURUS
