Participants of the 10th annual Polar Bear Plunge charge the waters of Puget Sound Wednesday at Double Bluff beach park. With 190 swimmers, this was a record year for the event.
Record numbers brave the waters of Useless Bay By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Lined up like a medieval army, men, women, children and the elderly let loose screams of courage Wednesday and charged the chilly waters of Useless Bay for the 10th annual Polar Bear Plunge. Lunging, diving and in some cases tip-toeing, 190 people started the new year with a dip at Double Bluff park. Event
officials estimate even more stood on the beach to watch the spectacle unfold. “Probably about twice that amount were standing on the shores wondering, ‘Are you nuts?’ ” said Carrie Monforte, program coordinator for the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District in an email to The Record. For recently engaged Roy Gordon and Nicole McClaskey of Coupeville, it was a great beginning for one of the biggest years of their lives.
“Starting the year of the wedding off with a bang,” said a dripping Gordon. “It’s a new tradition,” added McClaskey, as this was their second year participating. They noted the water was “really not that bad,” that the “adrenaline” seemed to dull the worst of Puget Sound’s frigid SEE PLUNGE, A16

Emergency responders evaluate a Toyota Camry that slid off the road and up the guy-wires of a power pole.
A teenage boy turned a little too fast onto Deer Lake Road on Thursday and ended up suspending his Toyota Camry on a power pole’s guy-wire. Neither the driver, a 16-year-old Greenbank resident, nor his passenger, also a teenage boy, were injured in the crash. It did, however, cause quite a scene at the intersection of
Deer Lake and Cultus Bay roads at about 1:30 p.m. “He’s a young driver, just not used to driving in the wet pavement and tried to make the turn instead of realizing he was going too fast,” Island County Sheriff’s Deputy Bo Miller said. Department deputies said the driver was heading south on Cultus Bay Road, a 50 mph zone, when he tried
to turn left onto Deer Lake Road. The road’s slick surface and the vehicle’s speed caused the car to slide forward and up the guy-wire. With the front end of the sedan suspended about six feet in the air and potentially teetering on the two inchthick wires, the boys crawled out of the sedan’s rear doors. The 45-degree SEE CAR, A16

Whidbey island realtors draft new jet noise disclosure By JaNIS ReID South Whidbey Record Whidbey Island realtors have drafted a new, more detailed noise disclosure form for homebuyers following resident criticism that they were not properly warned about Navy jet noise. Controversy over the Navy’s touch-andgo operations at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and Outlying Field Coupeville this year reached a breaking point when a citizen’s group filed a lawsuit against the Navy in July. The Navy has initiated an Environmental Impact Statement on the new EA-18G Growler aircraft which some believe is louder than previous aircraft. In addition, the Navy has conceded that in 2011 and 2012, the number of touch-and-go operations did exceed their estimation by more than 3,000 each year. The Navy suspended operations at OLF in May, but have announced plans to resume Jan. 6. In response to resident complaints about a perceived lack of disclosure about jet noise, the Island County Board of Commissioners directed Planning Director David Wechner to draft a memo concerning the county’s ordinances about aircraft noise. Wechner, who assumed the position in July, said his

In response to community criticism, Whidbey Island’s realtor group has penned a new noise disclosure form concerning jet noise from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. research found that the county has two noise disclosures in its code. One disclosure is found in the county’s building code and another in the “Airport and Aircraft Operations Noise Disclosure Ordinance” to be used for real estate transactions. Currently, local realtors give prospective
homebuyers a version of the shorter building code disclosure that was copy written by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. “It has been brought to the county’s attention that the Northwest Multiple Listing Service copyrighted a document in 2001 titled Form 22W, apparently used by some
real estate agents in Island County as a noise disclosure statement,” Wechner wrote in his memo to the commissioners. “This department does not have involvement in the daily activity of the real estate market, nor is this department aware of what disclosures are being provided by the real estate community in real estate transactions; however, it appears the copy of Form 22W provided to this office does not contain both required disclosure statements, nor cite applicable County Code.” The Whidbey Island Association of Realtors met Friday morning in Freeland to review and discuss a newly-drafted noise ordinance that addresses the concerns of both the county government and its residents, said Jason Joiner, the group’s government affairs director. Joiner said that the association has been working with the Multiple Listing Association, which issues the official disclosure form, to come up with the new draft that includes language from both of the county’s existing noise disclosures and cites the corresponding code. A statement released by the association states that it is the aim of local realtors “to ensure that the noise disclosure form utilized by our members, and other licensees, is in compliance with Island County code.”

South Whidbey Harbor project enters final months By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record After a bumpy year, the South Whidbey Harbor Expansion project is on the verge of completion. Workers currently are building piping and will follow with electrical work and the dock utility station until February, said Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Curt Gordon. The project has entered the end-phase where primarily utility work remains, he said. “The water work is pretty much complete, we’re on to the nuts and bolts,” Gordon said. The aim of the project is to expand the capacity of the marina to allow for more and larger boats. The $1.7 million project will expand the existing harbor to include 400 feet of additional dock space to the harbor. The project is scheduled to be completed in early February. The contingency budget — a fund used to cover unexpected costs — continues to hover near 10 percent of the total budget cost. The current amount is around 8 percent, or $138,000. Of that, change orders to the contract account for about 6 percent, more than $100,000, while the remaining 2 percent accounts for unexpected payments, such as the disposal of soil contaminated with old fuel. In the December regular meeting, Gordon addressed change order issues with Shannon Kinsella, an engineer with Reid Middleton, who helped design the project. “We’re conscious that this project has been stretched out and we’re trying to work so that we don’t end up asking for more or above what we had estimated,” Kinsella said. Port of South Whidbey staff have dealt with many project problems, both on and offshore. But for many on the team it’s all part of the game in marine construction. The problems for the project have ranged from a sunken crane to readjusting cables used to level and anchor the dock. As the project comes to a close, staff will be watching another potential issue. A sunken tire reef is spreading out on the seafloor. At this point the reef is not harmful to the project, but port officials are keeping tabs on its progress.

Workers put on the final touches for the South Whidbey Harbor expansion project on Thursday, Jan. 2.

Once the project is completed, port officials hope to open

The commemorative quilt will be displayed at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island, located at 20103 Highway 525, Freeland. On March 7, 2009, just weeks after her 13th birthday, Esme Louise Kenney was abducted and killed while jogging near her Cincinatti home by a known murderer and sex offender.
Shortly after Esme’s murder, a call went out to Lisa’s friends for entries for “The Esme Kenney Memorial Quilt.” Outraged by this crime against a vibrant young woman, friends, family and the community resoundingly responded with over one hundred participants submitting squares depicting memories of Esme or paying tribute to her joyful spirit. The resulting 20-foot by 7-foot quilt is the focus for this exhibit.

Our viewpoint
A cold event can be the warmest place to be by Justin burnett
A camera slung over one shoulder and my trusty old camouflage waders over the other, I took a deep breath and began trudging my way down Double Bluff Road. Despite arriving 30 minutes early for the annual Polar Bear Plunge, cars were parked on both sides of the street and I had a bit of a walk ahead of me. As I was feeling a little under the weather, I was beginning to regret having so quickly volunteered to cover the New Year’s Day event. The walk went by fast, however, and I arrived at the beach in short order. There, I was quickly greeted by a man — he was the first of many — who eyed my waders accusingly and with a good-natured grin said, “You know that’s cheating, don’t you?” Admittedly, my first thought was something like, “Why am I the one working on a holiday? Isn’t this for the new reporters? So much for being in charge.” But the man’s smile was infectious and with the ’80s music blasting from the loudspeakers, I couldn’t help but chuckle. I had taken just a few steps away from my greeter when I ran into a buddy in law enforcement. We chatted about the rash of burglaries and our mutual concerns about the shotgun wielding masked men, or man, terrorizing the South End. It was nice catching up, and a reaffirmation of the quality police officers who are genuinely concerned about South Whidbey’s well-being. Breaking away to snap some photos, I then bumped into Carolyn Tamler and her husband. Her cheery personality was a gift and she graciously agreed to guard my notepad and shoes as I headed out into the water in my waders, apparel she had never seen before and called “hilarious.” Surviving the charge of nearly 200 people, I was soon back on shore and met the Weigels, a nice family of four from Bellevue who have a home on Central Whidbey. They attend the event every year and, dripping with freezing water and wearing the brightest of smiles, they were a pleasure to meet. From there I bumped into Dustin Amundson, a North Whidbey firefighter. We shared a laugh or two and talked about past fires we’d covered. Two steps from him was my 12-year-old’s science teacher, Terry Welch, and we had a great chat about Kyle and his progress at school. From there the list goes on and on. Everywhere I turned I saw people I’ve come to know over the years from every corner of the island. We smiled in recognition, shook hands and enjoyed one another’s company. So there it is. Like so many other holidays I spent “working,” I found myself later marveling at the unexpected benefits of my job and the joys of community.

Letters Thanks
Holiday generosity sparks public thanks Editor, On a Monday morning before Christmas, I went into the post office in Clinton intending to drop off my Christmas cards, which were already sealed and stamped. There was a very long line and I had to pick something up in another place by a certain time and couldn’t wait. The two ladies in front of me said they would give the cards to the post-master. There were 170 of them in a small bag. When they got to the post-master, it turns out that the cards were slightly oversize and the cost would be an additional $36. They paid it for me. I do not know these two ladies and it is only by accident that I met them
again just as they were leaving the post office. They told me what had happened and they refused to take any money. They left wishing me a merry Christmas and I stupidly did not get their names. Therefore I hope they see this letter so that I may thank them publicly for their random act of kindness and good cheer. I indeed will pay it forward, I wish they and all of you had a very merry Christmas. I am so blessed to be here among people of such kindness and good will. FARA MAZZOLA WEXLER Clinton

It’s not about COER, it’s about citizen well-being
plane has had a huge impact on the lives of central Whidbey’s residents. Our property values are declining, tourists leave when they encounter the jet noise, business is lost, the hearing and health of residents are damaged, and our children’s health and education are harmed. All of this, with the decibel level noise at 124 and greater, and the significantly increased flights has led to the creation of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve (COER). This is not about COER versus the Navy; it is about citizens caring about the well-being of their families and community, and wanting to protect them. I invite anyone who wants to feel the impact of the Growler noise to come and be in the flight path when the flights resume. JEROME ROSEN Coupeville

New vision, renewed partners for Parks pool By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Parks, trails and aquatics supporters will likely see a bit of momentum in the coming year. South Whidbey Parks and Aquatics Foundation leaders met with the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District commissioners and director last month, hashing out Parks’ goals for the next two years. The result, they hope, is a renewed commitment between the two groups to promote building a public aquatics center and expand use of South Whidbey parks. Looking for ways to involve the foundation, the parks commissioners met in December to review the district’s comprehensive plan, a governing document outlining projects and growth. “Overall, we were really impressed with all that the parks district has already done,” said Krista Loercher, the foundation’s president. Discussion was largely focused on an aquatics center — a top concern for both groups. The facility, as recently re-imagined from its voter-defeated bond measure in 2008, would still largely be devoted to water recreation. A draft document about the facility shows a redesigned space with three separate pools: a 4,200 square-foot community pool, a 1,290 square-foot wellness/teaching pool and a 300 squarefoot therapy pool heated to 102 degrees. The North Whidbey Park & Recreation main pool is 25 meters by 15 meters, its wading pool measures about 10 meters by 6 meters, and there is a hot tub; the building houses the two pools and hot tub, two locker rooms, two front-staff rooms, a staff bathroom and a staff locker room, and two pump rooms for the pools and hot tub. One possible change for the South Whidbey project is the type of pool. Rather than dig and use concrete, Parks Commissioner Matt Simms said the district is looking at a modular pool, a steel construct that is erected quickly and costs less than a concrete pool. “It’s an assembled pool that can be taken apart, just like one in your back yard,” Simms said. What was once a $15.2 million bond for a 50,000 squarefoot facility has been whittled down to an estimated $3.7 million. The 2013 concept, which Parks Director Doug Coutts emphasized was still a concept, nearly reduces the

This design shows the new plan for the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District aquatics center. In the earliest stages of redesign, the smaller facility would include three separate pools and staff offices. project to about half the size of the 2008 plan but will be 75 percent cheaper to build and cost 77 percent less to operate. Initial estimates by parks leaders have the district recovering 74 percent of its annual $170,000 operating cost for pool maintenance and staffing. The plan remains to build the pool facility on Maxwelton Road near the Community Park entrance on land already owned by South Whidbey Parks. More than examining the scaled-back pool project, which is at least a few years out, the meeting was organized so the groups could find ways for the foundation to aid smaller needs. Drainage work is needed on some of the ballfields at Community Park, parks district leaders said, as well as a new picnic pavilion, restoring
or rebuilding the amphitheater and possibly creating a disc golf course. “Sometimes we can find money in the budget,” Simms said. “(The staff) are pretty resourceful. But there may be a need for some fundraising there.” The meeting was also a chance for the foundation to get an update on what the parks district is working on and what it may need in the future, particularly in realm of public support. The foundation, which has channeled funds from events like the Langley Half Marathon to the district, recently assumed responsibility over the Healthy Island Youth Initiative scholarship which covers program fees and equipment costs for Whidbey Island youths in need.

Falcons hope to rebound after busy winter break By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record There was little rest for the weary Falcon boys basketball team this winter break. While their peers enjoyed a respite from school, the Falcons were busy in the gym trying to get on track for a strong finish to their season. So far, things have not gone well for South Whidbey basketball. Starting the season 1-7 overall, the only victory — an important one against Cascade Conference rival Coupeville — has soundly bumped South Whidbey to the bottom of the league. Even before the team took a break from games, things were looking up. After scoring less than 50 points in the first five games, South Whidbey tallied 50, 67 and 59 in the last three. And that was without senior forward Nick French, a fouryear varsity player and twoyear starter. “It changes the whole environment of the team,” said head coach Scott Collins of French’s impending return to the court. “He plays 100 percent all of the time.” French missed the first month while he rehabilitated an injured knee, sustained during the football season in which he was South Whidbey’s starting quarterback and also the team’s leading rusher. Last year, he

team by a coach vote. During practice Thursday morning, he wore a soft wrap on his left knee. His mobility was hardly limited, however, as he drove to the hoop, moved side-to-side on defense, dove for loose balls, and sprung up for rebounds. Drills were also a little
grittier, with players chasing long rebounds, securing the ball tighter and fighting for position when he was on the floor. “That’s because Nick’s back,” coach Collins said. This is the first-year coach’s first time seeing French in a game. Though he coached a few seasons until 2009, Collins left the program and only returned after the previous coach died suddenly last summer. Ideally, the coach said, French’s presence gives the team a fourth option on offense in addition to senior Brandon Asay, senior CJ Sutfin and junior Parker Collins.
Best Wishes for a Happy New Year
Now Open in
Last year, Collins and French were the go-to guys near the basket. This season, with French out, Collins became the main interior scorer and saw a lot of attention from defenders when he was near the hoop. Hopefully, Collins said, French’s return will make South Whidbey more potent on offense and defense. “He takes care of the ball well, which we need to improve on,” Collins said. “Defensively, he really gets after it and makes turnovers on them.” Defense was the name of the game during practices this past week. While South Whidbey’s offense was improving over the past four weeks, its defense struggled to limit opposing teams. Squads scored at least 53 points and as many as 80 against the Falcons.

For a team that struggles on offense, allowing that many points is a losing recipe. “We’ve had these two weeks to regroup,” French said. “Everybody’s working hard. We’re ready to play again and have a win streak, hopefully.” Adding some grit and toughness in the form of French and his impact on the team, Collins hopes South Whidbey will find a new identity in its defense. At the start of the season, he wanted to turn the team into a run-andgun sort, one that scores quickly because it steals the ball. So far, that hasn’t been the case other than the 67-53 win at Coupeville. South Whidbey will have its first test with French in the lineup against Lakewood (2-1 Cascade Conference, 3-4 overall) at home Jan. 7.

Clinton resident Barb Nichols plays a Tibetan singing bowl in her new space, part of her Sound Massage business. Nichols uses the colors in the room to provide uplifting energy.
A place to ‘just be’ Color immersion space aims to feed the soul By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record For more than 20 years, Barb Nichols has imagined a room filled with color. A place for people to be immersed in various shades
color immersion room • The open house will take place from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 10 and again from 1 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 11 at 6714 Kenney Way, Clinton. • Introductory prices begin at $35 for half an hour, $45 for 45 minutes and $55 for an hour. The cost increases for longer increments. that uplift spirits. That room, an expansion of Nichols’ Clinton massage studio, Sound Massage, will come into fruition next weekend during an open house. “We’re affected by colors
and environment,” she said. “Here you’re surrounded by different colors projected on the walls. Slowly moving and changing, you can drink in all the colors.” Using an LED light system ranging from warm
oranges to vibrant greens along with patterns, Nichols said she wants the room to be used as a personal sanctuary. It’s designed to feed a person’s energy from their body to spirit, especially in the grey winter months, she said. The room also includes a place to lie down, along with music and a few items such as Tibetan singing bowls, crystals and herbs for scent. Nichols said sometimes people can become offbalance when there isn’t enough of a certain color in their lives. If a person lives in a desert area they might not get enough of the color green, or, for example, living here there aren’t as many tropical colors, she said. The colors also share a link with emotions. If a person is carrying a lot of energy from anger, they will be attracted to water and go for a walk on the beach, she said. “We can use elements and colors to balance the ener-
gy,” she said. “It’s simple, something we can all do if we become aware of it.” She wants the room to be used for people to relax in the colors with the sounds of nature, active music or silence — a place for people to “just be.” “They may be depleted, need energy and want to crank up music,” she said. “Maybe they want to rock out and dance around the room to get their ya-yas out.” Massage client and friend of Nichols, Jeanette Eveland, said she was excited for the innovative space to open. “It’s a whole different way to find your inner self — through colors,” she said. With the sound massage, Eveland said the experience was different from anything she’s ever done. All of her senses were in play, vibrating by the tone of the bowls. “Barb’s just got this magic about her,” she said. “She has this gift to come up with innovative ways for people to

get in touch with their inner self.” For the massage, Nichols blends the vibrations of sound with body work. She uses four Tibetan singing bowls and places them on top of the client’s body. The client is laying face up on a waterbed hooked up to vibrate to the tones of a gong, synthesizer or drum. Nichols plays the bowls simultaneously with the sound vibrations coming from the front and back of the client’s body. Nichols has been using this technique for 20 years after being inspired by an experience in Hawaii. While swimming, she said she was lucky enough to experience the vibrations from the song of a nearby humpback whale. She was so inspired, she wanted to recreate that feeling for others. “All we need to do is expose ourselves in those situations,” Nichols said. “That part of us knows how to bring the balance and drink in what’s in the environment so we don’t have to think about it. And bottom line is we feel better.”

WEEK OF JANUARY 5 TO 11, 2014
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: CANCER, LEO, AND VIRGO.
ARIES
The holidays are finally over, thank goodness. You need some rest and relaxation, so treat yourself well and take some time to nap, read, or go to the movies. TAURUS
Your social life is getting busier. You might be invited to a few more parties, where you’ll be really happy to bump into some old acquaintances. GEMINI
It feels like time is a rare commodity, with all there is to do both at home and at work. You might decide to do some big cleaning jobs at home if you’re still off work. CANCER
You might be stricken by a sudden urge to go away on vacation. Talk to your partner about it, as he or she might easily be convinced to go with you. You could also envisage a return to school. LEO
There’s a fair bit of emotion in the air. Tread carefully, because you’re not always very good at managing this kind of situation. It may occur to you that you’d like to move. VIRGO
You’re very acquiescent at the moment and find yourself readily devoting body and soul to your partner. A good talk should keep things balanced all around. LIBRA
Your health may be worrying you, but you can recover your energy with a simple change of diet. It is important to try to harmonize the different areas of your life. SCORPIO
All eyes are on you, whether you’re single or not. Your charisma pays off, both emotionally and professionally. SAGITTARIUS
Family takes up most of your attention. Enjoy taking the time to see some of your loved ones who weren’t able to be present over the holidays. CAPRICORN
You’re sure to have plenty to say for yourself, and you’ll say out loud what others are only thinking. You may even reveal an injustice to the world. AQUARIUS
You really feel like spoiling yourself and treating yourself to a bit of luxury. If you are particularly interested in shows, or any other sort of art, let that interest guide you in your entertainment choices. PISCES
You’re overflowing with energy and feel ready to conquer the world, but discouragement is never far. Work on knowing your limits and channeling your strengths.

car was even an abnormal sight for Lt. Evan Tingstad, a
longtime sheriff’s deputy on the South End. “Most of the time, they flip off (the guy-wire) and they roll,” he said. “I’m glad they weren’t hurt.” Puget Sound Energy was called and notified of the crash, which dispatched someone to inspect the scene and turn off the area’s power as a precaution for about 30 minutes. While the deputies and towing company waited for the energy to be cut, several cars slowed down or pulled over for the drivers and passengers to take pictures. Gary Peterson, owneroperator of Simmons Garage and Towing in Clinton, was able to guide the car off the wires by suspending the back end with the tow truck’s winch. That lifted the rear end and pulled it down the guy-wire until all four wheels were on the ground. With the car off the wires, the Puget Sound Energy worker checked the power pole’s integrity at the base and noted the impact “didn’t even wiggle the pole.” Deputy Miller said the boy was issued a $175 citation for driving too fast for the conditions.

While the water temperature was 44 degrees, the ambient air temperature was 43 degrees which technically made the water a warmer place to be than standing on shore in nothing but a swimsuit. But not everyone felt the same way. Clinton resident Dominic Montaperto, 9, participated for the second time and said the water was a bit

In fact, it was particularly tasty, he said. Montaperto’s contentment with the event seemed the common one. Of the hundreds of people who attended 2014’s plunge, smiles were abundant and families enjoyed the brisk swim and each other’s company. “Our daughters look forward to this all year,” said

Doug Weigel, a Bellevue resident with a home on Central Whidbey. His family of four has participated every year for the past five years. It’s fun and an opportunity to share a memorable experience on the holiday, he said. And perhaps settling the matter once and for all, his daughter Ilsa, 11, weighed in on the water’s temperature from within a cocoon of a tightly wrapped towel. “It’s cold,” she said, with a grin. The plunge is partly a fundraiser for the hungry, and Monforte said 123 pounds of canned and dried goods went to Good Cheer food bank. Event organizers also thanked the event’s sponsors.
