Candidate’s blackface parody comes under fire

Langley ponders historic demolition rules

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record

Island County is wrapping up plans for a South Whidbey bike route that will circle through scenic areas between Clinton to Bayview Corner to Langley and back again. “The idea is that people on the mainland can bring their bikes over on the ferry and see South Whidbey,” Transportation Planner Doug Cox said. “It will be one of those things we think will go a long way.” Cox said the $100,000 project will use existing roads but add signage to make it more cyclist-friendly. The project will also widen shoulders in key locations. The goal, Cox said, is to improve bicycle facilities to encourage more residents to ride bicycles for daily transportation and to promote bicycle tourism. The route has been in the works for a while, but this part of the project marks the final phase to complete the loop, according to Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. “I’m excited to have it completed,” Price Johnson said. “It will make it easier for locals and visitors to use non-motorized transportation and add mobility and well-being.” The commissioner said she believed the bike loop will not only be an asset for locals, but will help the South Whidbey economy through tourism. The project will be initiated in two phases. The Transportation Alternatives Program will provide $20,000 this year for preliminary engineering. Once right of way has been

Sparked by the possibility of losing the Dog House Tavern on First Street, Langley took its first crack at hammering out the details of rules concerning the destruction of historic buildings this week. The city’s Planning Advisory Board discussed what the scope and goal of the regulations should be for an hour at its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday. The body’s task was ironing out the specifics of a six-month moratorium on the demolition of buildings on the National Historic Register, which was issued as an emergency ordinance in May. It targeted the Dog House Tavern and its owners after they asked the city about the process for tearing down the century-old building on First Street. “What we’re going to come up with is going to be reasonable,” said Langley Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango. Several advisory board members struggled with the time constraint presented by the six-month moratorium. Because it was issued in May, there are basically four months left before the city is required to set out standards and guidelines for demolition. One of the longest discussions concerned the possibility of creating a historic district. Such a designation would be a blanket policy for the city to regulate which buildings

The head of the Island County Democrats is denouncing a candidate for a state representative seat who put on “blackface” to impersonate President Obama in an internet video. Oak Harbor resident David Sponheim, 54, is one of three candidates running against state Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano Island. Sponheim filed as “prefers Democratic party” even though he and his partner, Sarah Hart, have worked for years to start a new centrist political party they’ve dubbed “America’s Third Party.” Sponheim has run for president twice as a writein candidate for America’s Third Party and said he plans to run again in 2016. Sponheim and Hart discuss their political ideas in a three-hour “video chat” program they broadcast online six days a week. It was during one of these programs that Sponheim, a white man, painted his face black in a caricature of “Broke Obombus.” The video can be seen at www.youtube. com/watch?v=bWXMqpb8tpg Sponheim said his impersonation was intended as satire and that he was surprised when people accused him of being racist. “In order to impersonate a black president, I had to wear blackface,” he said. “I’m the last person you should call a racist because I believe in integration and equal rights for everyone.” Many people, however, do believe that it’s offensive to wear blackface, espe-

Kudos WAIF gala raises over $92,000

Contributed photo

WAIF Board Secretary John Thompson and his wife, Babette, were just a few of the winning bidders at this year’s Spring Fling.

Over 130 people attended Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation’s 11th annual Spring Fling Gala Auction and Gourmet Dinner last month, raising over $92,000. In a recent news release, organization Executive Director Charles Vreeland said he was wholly moved by the generosity of the community. “I’ve been at WAIF a little more than six months and I’m so impressed with how much the community cares for its homeless pets,” he said in the release. “The support that Spring Fling generates is really remarkable, from on the island and off. We’re truly grateful for all the support we receive on behalf of our homeless pets and for pet owners seeking assistance.” The all-volunteer driven

event brought together animal supporters of all types, from sponsors who helped underwrite the gala to the individuals and businesses that donated quality and priceless items, which were then auctioned off to the highest bidder. “Because of the generosity of everyone involved, it’s the homeless pets that come to WAIF who are the real winners,” the release said. WAIF board President Bob Rupp lead the evening’s activities. Working in tandem with Rupp, the

foundation welcomed back auctioneer Paul Schenfeld from Stokes Auction Group, who once again got the crowd going with fun, competitive bidding. Making it all happen was Spring Fling Event chairpersons Dawn Ritter and Merritt Atwood, and the event committee. For more information about WAIF, visit www.waifanimals.org Founded in 1990, WAIF is a non-profit organization on Whidbey Island that helps pets and their people.

First round of commissioner interviews complete By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Candidates for the Island County Commissioner District 3 seat fielded questions from the remaining two commissioners Tuesday. The District 3 seat became vacant in early May when then commissioner Kelly Emerson resigned suddenly giving a seven-day notice. Per state law, Emerson’s party, the Island County Republican Party, put forward three names from which commissioners can select a temporary appointee. Four Republican candidates and one Democratic candidate have filed to run for the seat permanently in November. District 3 comprises North Whidbey Island and all of Camano Island. At one of two interview sessions, each candidate was asked the same questions with the other two candidates stepping out of the room. The first interview took place on Camano Island. The second interview session will be 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 24, in the Board of Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville. The three candidates are Richard Hannold of North Whidbey, and Marc Hennemann and Aubrey Vaughan of Camano Island.

QUESTIONS Over the next few months there will be many Commissioner budget sessions in addition to the regular business meetings. How do you plan to manage attendance for meetings in Coupeville and be available to constituents on Camano and North Whidbey? — Hannold: “It’s a daunting challenge with the difference in mileage between Whidbey and Camano, but budget meetings take a priority. It’s a matter of time management.”

Hannold

Hennemann

Vaughan

Hennemann: “As I’ve said before, I would get a boat. It’s a whole lot easier than going around.” Vaughan: “Three days have to be spent in Coupeville… Thursday and Friday will be spent at the annex.”

Hennemann: “I will listen, I will pay attention… . I will follow their values if their values match mine.” Vaughan: “… if you can’t put your political divisions aside and do what’s right for the people of Island County, I don’t think you should run for office.”

Hannold: “I believe in lean management. You can always do more with less. You tell your staff, this is what you have, now make it work.” Hennemann: “As we get revenue we can have more staff. We can also go to the state and request a reprieve from the mandates.” Vaughan: “I think any department that is understaffed and can show a need can ask… but I would need to look at it on a case by case basis.”

How would your former employees describe your management style? How would your style be described by your professional peer group? Hannold: “They would say I’m a good leader. Somebody who works with them as a team. I’m demanding yet flexible.” Hennemann: “My style is basically leave the room alone so they can get their work done. I’m not a micromanager … these people know what to do. Let them do it.” Vaughan: “I believe in fairness, I believe in listening to employees. I don’t like the ‘I’m the boss’ routine.” As an interim Commissioner candidate chosen by the Republican party rather than a vote of the citizens, how will you represent constituents with more progressive values? Hannold: “I’m a fiscal conservative, but I’m flexible. I represent the majority of what the district wants.”

Given a historic inflationary factor of 3-5 percent and a 1 percent cap on property tax collections, what budget strategy will you use to maintain County Services? Hannold: “It’s about planning for the future. You always have to be looking down the road. I like resultsbased budgeting.” Hennemann: “What we need to adopt is a system called zero-based budgeting. Each department has to come in and justify everything they want to spend.” Vaughan: “We have a wonderful opportunity to constrain spending. We need to look real hard at efficiency.”

balance.” Hennemann: “The GMA [Growth Management Act] is having what I think is an unintended consequence of destroying the rural character of a lot of places, including here. Your property is your business as long as you’re not breaking the law.” Vaughan: “We’re going to have to bring all the stakeholders involved… to work on a plan the state will accept. There needs to be a balance between the environment and what businesses need and what property owners need.” As a Commissioner, issues often arise that force choices between your own personal values and the views of the

citizens that you serve or the law/regulations you uphold. In facing a decision that is in conflict with your personal values, how would you proceed? Hannold: “I’m a representative of the people, not myself.” Hennemann: “If it’s the law, it’s the law. If it’s a proposed law, I would have to examine the law and see. If it’s not a law I would go with my conscience. If people don’t like my conscience then at the next election they can turn me out.” Vaughan: “There’s times when you have to set ideas and political differences aside and you have to go with the people you represent.”

✔ Accountability ✔ Efﬁciency

Describe your views on land use planning, managing growth, and balancing societal rights with property rights. Hannold: “A person’s property… they should have the right to do what they want with it. If what I’m doing infringes on your rights, then I’m wrong. There’s gotta be a

COUNTY Sheriff requests boats pledge The Island County Sheriff’s Office and Washington State Parks are asking for the public to pledge never to operate a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the Operation Dry Water campaign, June 27-29. Operation Dry Water is a national boating under the influence (BUI) campaign developed by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and the United States Coast Guard. Now in its sixth year, the operation partners with the recreational boaters, as well as local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to bring attention to the dangers of drinking and boating. The campaign focuses on preventing accidents, injuries and deaths resulting from people abusing alcohol or drugs while operating boats. According to the 2013 Coast Guard recreational boating statistics, alcohol is the number one contributing factor in fatal boating accidents; it was listed as the leading factor in 16 percent of deaths. According to Washington State Parks, between 2007 and 2013, at least 36 people died in reportable boating accidents where alcohol use was a contributing factor. As with drinking and driving, boating while intoxicated is illegal. “Alcohol is as hazard-

ous on water as it is on land,” said Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, in a recent news release. “Whether or not you are the driver of the boat, boating under the influence is a bad idea.” Boaters that would like to show their support for the campaign can make their pledge by visiting www.operationdrywater. org under the “Boaters” section. For more information on boating regulations, visit www.boat. wa.gov

County awarded salmon grant Island County has been awarded $13,000 to work with the Tulalip Tribes to collect data to protect salmon rearing coastal streams. The National Estuary Program Watershed Protection and Restoration Grant will pay for the majority of the project in addition to $2,600 in county match hours. The tribes have developed a predictive model to identify coastal streams that are likely to have juvenile salmon rearing present within the Whidbey Basin, an area comprising eastern Whidbey and Camano islands, and the mouths of the Skagit and Snohomish rivers. The results of the model and collected data will be incorporated into the state’s Water Resource Inventory Area map. The information will also be used to develop and implement programs in the county’s critical areas and to develop

coastal streams best management practices. Tulalip Tribes are partnering with Island County, Skagit River System Cooperative, Northwestern Indian Fisheries Commission, Whidbey Watershed Stewards and Adopt-AStream Foundation.

Water district poses expansion The Island County commissioners will review an expansion to the Penn Cove Water & Sewer District to ensure it complies with state Department of Health requirements. A public hearing will be held 10:15 a.m. July 7 in the Board of Commissioners Hearing Room in Coupeville. The district went through a self-certification process during a 2005 Comprehensive Water and Sewer Plan to expand retail service boundaries. A recent change in municipal water law, however, now requires the district to have the county review the boundary change and it must go before the board of commissioners for approval. The intention of the law is to ensure consistency with the county’s comprehensive plan. The expansion recognizes systems within the district’s service area, which they won’t be serving directly, but can serve if need arises, according to David Wechner, Island County planning director.

BLACKFACE CONTINUED FROM A1

cially given the history of minstrel shows that presented demeaning portraits of African-Americans. Just this week, French police officers are being investigated for a “blackface party” because it was considered racist. “Whether it is the original white ‘Amos and Andy’ or white fraternity/sorority girls and boys, blackface is always about mocking black skin and presenting stereotypical black behavior,” Mark Sawyer, a professor at UCLA, wrote in a CNN commentary. Sponheim said he believes that Obama hasn’t been truthful with the American people about such issues as health care, so he decided to make the video as a bold critique of the White House. “It’s risky to do things that are

could be altered. But it was deemed to be too difficult by Arango, who said there were not enough buildings that clearly fit the bill of being, for example, 50 years old and having historical value to Langley. “We don’t really have the resources for a historic district,” Arango said. Sue Walsh, an advisory board member, disagreed. She was also concerned that by not creating a design standard, which Arango said was the purview of the Design Review Board, that the advisory board was stopping short of addressing the problem of redevelopment downtown. “It sounds like we’re putting it off, and I have a problem with that,” she said.

David Sponheim, a state Senate hopeful, speaks in a video while doing a blackface parody of President Barack Obama. edgy,” he said. “I’m trying to raise the bar of politics and address the issues.”

Sponheim argued that it’s OK to wear blackface nowadays because black people sometimes

pose as white people. He pointed to the 2004 movie comedy “White Chicks.” Sponheim said he used to consider himself a Democrat but became disillusioned by the divisive politics; he describes himself as liberal on social issues and a fiscal conservative. Hart ran as an independent when she ran for state Senate in 2008; still, Sponheim said he decided to file as “prefers Democratic party” because many of his ideas adhere to the party’s platform. Sponheim said his priorities include preserving nature and freedom, as well as pushing forward with the opening of marijuana dispensaries, which he sees as a big money-maker for the state. Aaron Simpson, chairman of the Island County Democratic Central Committee, said Sponheim has not reached out

to the party locally and does not have its support. He described Sponheim’s blackface video as “very objectionable.” “It further reinforces my opinion that the party will never even consider endorsing him,” he said. Additionally, he said, Sponheim shows a “blatant disrespect for public disclosure rules” with his campaign signs, which don’t specify which seat he is running for. Simpson said Island County Democrats have already endorsed Mount Vernon resident Nick Petrish, who is also running against Hayes. Petrish could not be reached for comment. Hayes said earlier this week that he hadn’t yet seen the video and felt it wasn’t appropriate to comment on it at this time. Oak Harbor resident Brien Lillquist is also running as a Republican for the seat.

Editorial Letters Blackface is offensive To the president A big hammer in every context doesn’t always Wearing blackface is offensive to any reasonable person. When the person wearing the blackface is a political candidate, the act is doubly offensive. When the candidate is oblivious to the fact that blackface is offensive — well that’s just ignorance beyond imagination. David Sponheim, a candidate for state representative, says his video depicting President Barack Obama in blackface wasn’t intended to be offensive. Rather, he defends the performance as a “satire,” a means of getting attention and getting his political message across. The context of blackface in American history needs to be acknowledged and examined to understand why it’s so vile. Blackface performances are deeply rooted in bigotry. In 19th Century America, the image of blacks in the minds of white people was formed by minstrel shows built on mockery and stereotypes. It led to a deeply-imbedded perception that blacks were inferior and foolish to the point of being comical. It portrayed blacks as almost inhuman. The term Jim Crow stems from the 1830s when a white minstrel show performer named Thomas “Daddy” Rice blackened his face with burnt cork and danced a jig while performing the song, “Jump Jim Crow,” according to the website www.black-face.com In 1834, George Dixon portrayed a character named “Zip Coon” who mocked free blacks. Dixon, behaving in an arrogant, ostentatious manner, dressed in high style, but spoke in malaprops and puns intended to make the character a laughing stock. From Jim Crow and Zip Coon, a particularly offensive slur, “coon,” emerged, according to black-face.com In the early years of blackface, performers would exaggerate their lips with red makeup. Minstrel shows featured jokes, songs, dances and skits based on the ugliest stereotypes about blacks imaginable. From 1840 to 1890, minstrel shows were reportedly the most popular form of entertainment in America. Fortunately, blackface is no longer a socially acceptable form of entertainment. Spoheim’s video didn’t just portray Obama in blackface, he employed over-the-top speech patterns and exaggerated facial expressions reminiscent of blackface performances preserved in movies and in 1950s television shows such as Amos and Andy. The Island County Democrats wisely denounced Sponheim’s video. State Rep. Dave Hayes, whom Sponheim wants to unseat, said Tuesday he hadn’t seen the video and felt it wasn’t appropriate to comment. Denouncing Sponheim’s blackface performance isn’t about political correctness as some are wont to argue. Rather, it’s about racial sensitivity, and understanding and appreciating that the roots of blackface are remnants of a time of great racial inequality. Sadly, when it appears we’ve come far as a society in erasing bigotry, something happens that reminds us all that we as a society still have a ways to go.

Editor, This is an open letter to President Obama. Thank you for bringing to an end to a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, but please do not repeat the errors of the past by once again bombing Iraq or committing the United States militarily in Iraq. To do so would involve our country in what is a sectarian civil war. Dropping bombs in Iraq will inevitably result in civilian casualties and hatred directed toward the United States, making us less secure, not more secure. This situation is similar to Vietnam. In that conflict, as you are well aware, the U.S. interjected itself militarily into an anti-colonial civil war. In Vietnam, the U.S. was temporarily able help keep in power a corrupt military dictatorship that had failed to connect with the people. Soon after our military intervention ended, the South fell to the North with the Army of Vietnam unwilling to fight. Sound familiar? To again intervene in Iraq fits a definition of insanity. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” (Albert Einstein) Top-down military action does not remove injustices and lead to an open pluralistic society or create a working democracy. Successful democratic changes in recent history have come from faithbased nonviolent uprisings: Indian Independence

(Gandhi), Southern Black Freedom Movement, Solidarity Movement in Poland, destruction of apartheid in South Africa, removal of the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines, South Korean Democracy Movement and the list goes on. We have the largest hammer, but please resist the temptation to look for nails to pound. Please stand up to the military, media and those members of Congress who can only think of pounding nails.

Freeland; friendly, beautiful due to community efforts Editor, Friends of Freeland moved the planters on Main Street to the sheriff’s office where they have promised to keep them looking good. We will help with additional plants to get them off

to a great start and to make this an enjoyable place to drive by. Many people worked very hard to give these planters a good home and they deserve a big thank you. Dan Wallace brought his excavator, and truck, and gave us a day of his valuable time and expertise — the planters would not be level if not for his skill in placing them. Richard Epstein and Bill Fredrick did the planning and Jim Chadwick brought a flatbed trailer to move it all. Richard Davis and Christine Epstein were supporting spouses giving their time and energy to make it all happen. Dave Hardesty from Napa Auto Parts donated a day with his forklift. The Whidbey Island Garden Tour gave a $600 grant to help with the expenses. Their annual garden tour is on the June 28 this year and is an excellent way for garden lovers to support projects in the community. Finally, a thank you to all the nice people who stopped to chat with us and offer support. What

Robert Byron Hackler

September 16, 1938 – June 9, 2014 Robert Byron Hackler, 75, of Whidbey Island, passed away on Monday, June 9, 2014; a result of cardiac arrest following a stroke three weeks earlier. He is greatly missed by his family and friends. His wife, Eileen, spent much of her time taking special care of him during his stay in the hospital. Her love and devotion to him is very much appreciated by his children. Bob was born on Sept. 16, 1938, in Seattle to Perry and Hattie (Landaas) Hackler; the youngest of two sons. He grew up in King County, and graduated from Auburn High School. He has four loving children from his first marriage to Shirley Sparks: Donna (Dennis) Jeffery, Robert (Wanda) Wilkinson, Richard (Nylyn) Hackler, all of Utah; and Russell (Nichole) Hackler, of Indiana. On Nov. 26, 1976, he married Eileen Fay Kovack, which added to the family her two sons,

Brian and Mathew. Family was very important to Bob, and he wished all his children and grandchildren had been able to live near him. His dear friend, Donna Waters, and her children who called him Grandpa, were wonderful substitutes for his own children and their families, who were so far away. He also had the great opportunity to have Mathew and his two daughters with him for most of the last year of his life. Bob was a proud graduate of the University of Washington; his class ring was something he always wore throughout his life. He made time to teach and play with his children, and was a great little league baseball coach for his sons. He had a passion for golf, which he enjoyed playing as often as possible. On rare occasions when he could play with his sons or grandsons there was always a competition to see if they could beat him, and they rarely, if ever, did. He worked for the federal government in the Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division in Seattle and Spokane, Wash., and Fresno, Calif. After his retirement 20 years ago, he moved to beautiful Whidbey Island and there enjoyed a second career as a school bus driver. He came to love the children that rode his bus, and looked forward to seeing them again each new school year. Bob is survived by his wife, Eileen; children, Donna, Rob, Rick, Russ and Mathew; grandchildren, Ashton, Jason, Kenton (Daisia), Landon (Emily), and David Ryan Jeffery, Andelyn (Justin) Smith; Justin, Bryan, Shae-Lyn, Jordan, and

FALCONS, coach soar to all-league Page A8

WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM

Saturday, June 21, 2014 • The South Whidbey Record

‘The way the whole program is going, that’s a reflection on Falcon baseball.’ — Tom Fallon, coach

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The second time around, South Whidbey baseball coach Tom Fallon thought the award was a better fit. Not to diminish his first Cascade Conference coach of the year award, but making the state tournament this season felt like a true milestone of coaching prowess. “It’s kind of crazy to get that two times in a row,” he said. “It felt more deserved this year. For me, that’s a huge honor coming from the other coaches in the league.” Fallon was far from being alone on the coach-voted all-Cascade Conference teams this season. Five of his players garnered enough notice and votes from the league’s other coaches that they were named to the all-league teams. Colton Sterba, Nick Bennett, Ricky Muzzy and Brent Piehler made the first team, and Charlie Patterson the second team. “The way the whole program is going, that’s a reflection on Falcon baseball,” Fallon said. The two all-conference seniors, Bennett and Sterba, had marquee seasons in their last hurrahs as Falcons. Sterba was one of three pitchers named to the all-league first team. On the year, he recorded six victories against zero losses, pitched 47 innings while striking out 48 batters and walking 18. It amounted to a 1.18 earned-run average, which Fallon believes is a school record. “I never looked at my stats,” said Sterba, who was voted to the second team last season. “But hearing Tom say that at the [team] banquet, it was a neat topper to the season.” All of the personal accolades and statistics could go to someone else, Sterba said, if he could have played in the state title game. But his arm failed him in the playoffs after bril-

Instead he took to the field where he would only be called on to make a few throws compared to dozens from the mound. “Pitching, there’s so much strain,” Sterba said. “You’re making a hundred throws a game, compared to shortstop with maybe five a game and it’s an adrenaline thing. Pitching, you have to control every throw.” Late in the season during a brutal stretch against two of the league’s top teams, Sterba had total command from the mound. Facing Archbishop Murphy, the Falcons’ ace pitcher was “in the zone,” as Fallon recalled. He went on to allow only a few hits and got a 1-0 win over the Wildcats, one of the first in Falcon history. “We came in and didn’t know how we were gonna do. We hadn’t beaten them in a long time,” Sterba said.

Bennett, the team’s left fielder, made his mark with power both at the plate and on the grass. He recorded a .391 batting average and relied on his speed in the outfield to cover lots of ground. “He was a solid defensive outfielder for us,” Fallon said. “There weren’t a lot of balls that could drop that either one [Bennett or center fielder Jake Sladky] couldn’t get to.” Bennett had to rely on that speed because he was not fond of making diving catches after a knee injury kept him sidelined much of his junior season. As the team found its footing under Fallon, who said he recalled the outfielder’s ability to throw runners out at home plate, Bennett discovered he had to trust the infielders as the cutoff throw instead of trying to gun runners out. “He would always yell at me for not hitting the cut man, and I didn’t want to get yelled at anymore,”

Bennett laughed. “Not showing off my arm and throwing it all the way home, it works sometimes.” There was still a time for the spotlight to shine on Bennett, however. The three-sport letterman — he also played football and basketball — remembered his fondest moment as knocking a home run against a Lakewood pitcher whom he described as being “a talker.” “He threw me a low, inside pitch and I got a home run, and it was the best feeling ever,” Bennett said. One of the marked shifts for the Falcons, the two seniors said, was that the players bought into Fallon’s “team first” mentality. Instead of focusing on individual performance, the players needed to do what would help South Whidbey; a common sports adage is playing for the name on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back, even though South Whidbey does not put players’

10-year-old softball, and 11-to-12-year-old baseball district tournaments over the next two weeks. To make this a special event for the kids, league officials are asking for volunteers to help with scorekeeping, announcing, pitch counting and concession sales. The tournaments will be held Saturday, June 28

names on the uniforms. “It’s one goal for everyone instead of personal goals for everyone,” Sterba said. “We’ve performed better.” South Whidbey’s younger allleague players, Muzzy, Piehler and Patterson, were no slouches. Muzzy tallied a .434 batting average as the Falcons’ leadoff hitter, despite starting the season as the third batter. “He wasn’t real comfortable doing it, but he’s a team guy and did what we asked,” Fallon said. “He’s a guy who makes things happen.” Muzzy led the Falcons in batting average, runs (20), and hits (36). Piehler was voted as the league’s top catcher. Fallon said it was a near-unanimous decision during the coaches’ meeting. The Falcons’ cleanup hitter had a .356 average, led in RBI (17) and walks (12). A big reason for getting other coaches to remember him was the junior’s ability to throw out base runners trying to steal. “His arm strength is incredible,” Fallon said. “When we did first-team selections, every coach was like, ‘Yeah, your guy is the guy.’ Teams didn’t run on him.” At the start of the season, sophomore Charlie Patterson was penciled as a reliever on the mound and a role player. He developed into South Whidbey’s second pitcher in the rotation and became the playoff hurler when Sterba was injured. “Here’s a sophomore stepping in, and he ended up leading the team in innings pitched,” Fallon said. This season, Patterson threw 50 innings and recorded 58 strikeouts against 24 walks and a 1.4 ERA. “Crafty lefties,” Fallon said. “He doesn’t throw it 85 mph down your throat, but he’ll throw it inside, outside, and he has a pretty good change-up.”

certified and a contract advertised and awarded, construction is expected to begin mid-next year with an early 2016 completion date. The county will be awarded an additional $80,000 to complete the project. The loop covers roughly 20 miles,

Cox said. The loop’s Bayview Corner stop off on Highway 525 provides access for cyclists to explore the rest of the island as well. Coupeville is roughly 20 miles north of that spot, and Oak Harbor just another 10 miles after that. Clinton business leaders are hoping that the loop will assist in making Clinton more of a destination and less of a pass-through community,

Page A9

according to Bob Craven, chairman of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce. “We have a lot to offer: wineries, B & Bs, alpaca farms… but a lot of them are on the back roads,” Craven said. “My hope is that the bike trail will be a real plus for us with more exploration on the back roads. Bicyclists like to get off the main drag. I’m very heartened by this development.” Craven added bicycle tourism is environmentally friendly and allows people quick access to the island without having to wait in line in their cars. He said he would like to see a company offer bicycle rentals near the Clinton Ferry Terminal to give bike access to those who may not own one, or don’t want to pack one onto the ferry. The South Whidbey bike loop will join the island’s existing bike tours throughout the island including those around Deception Pass, Fort Casey and Possession Point State Park. This route is different, according to Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, because it’s a circle complete with beautiful scenic locations along the way. “It’s pretty exciting,” McCarthy said. “It’s a really neat loop. The improvements will make it safer.” McCarthy said he’s read studies that report people like to bike fairly level areas, but can see a lot of scenery. The route runs along Lone and Deer lakes, as well as Saratoga Pass and Admiralty Inlet. “That’s the kind of route that appeals to bicyclists,” McCarthy said. “It’s an amazing route for a whole lot of reasons.” For more information on the island’s bike routes, www.islandcounty.net/publicworks/biketours

Following on successful trials last year, Good Cheer is seeking volunteers for a three-day Christmas Pricing Blitz next week. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. beginning Tuesday, June 24, and running through Thursday, June 26, at the Baby Island Community Club, 3616 Saratoga Road. Good Cheer is hoping to price an entire cargo container full of boxed donations over the multi-day pricing blitz. The idea was hatched after a Whidbey Coffee volunteers helped price 90 boxes of donated goods during a Halloween party. That compared to 500 boxes priced by three volunteers over the course of an entire summer. “Not only was it vastly more productive to have more help, it was a lot more fun,” a recent Good Cheer announcement said. Coffee and tea will be available, but people should bring their own lunch. Goodies for all are welcome.

JEAN MATHENY: Helping others to feel at ease BY SUSAN KNICKERBOCKER Contributing Writer

Ever feel like you’re fumbling for what to say when someone has had a loss, or feel so uncomfortable you avoid the person altogether? Jean Matheny went through this with others after losing her husband suddenly. But, she found a way to put people at ease. “After my husband passed away, I noticed people were treating me differently or avoiding me all together,” she said. “I knew they weren’t trying to shun me or anything, they just didn’t know what to say.” So she went to the places she was involved with, such as the teachers’ lounge, to try and put them at ease. “I said, ‘I know you don’t know what to say to me, and that’s OK, but I wanted you to know I’m still the same person,’” Matheny recalled. “‘So just treat me the same. You don’t have to say anything special to me. If you want to you can say you’re sorry for my loss — that’s enough.’” She said she could feel the tension subside, and everyone seem to feel relaxed again. Helping others, even

On soup kitchen in Langley. Uneasy about not knowing anyone, he peered into the doorway when Jean spied him and marched over to welcome him. She introduced Billings to someone else eating there, and helped him get his food. “She made sure I felt comfortable before she went back to her duties,” he said.

The soup kitchen, or Soup’s On, began in 2003 by Sharon Giberson and Connie Angst, and serves free meals every Tuesday and Thursday. Soon after the soup kitchen began, Jean Matheny got involved and was welcomed as the leader. Matheny has 19 years of kitchen and cooking experience for large

groups. She was the South Whidbey Middle and High School kitchen manager and cook. “I started out as a baker and cook and was hired by Toni Hagglund, who was my boss for several years and the best boss in all this world,” Matheny recalled. “She never lorded over anyone, or intimidated people; she worked alongside me and caused me all to feel at ease.” Toni Hagglund says she’s sure people don’t realize just how big a job volunteering at the soup kitchen is. “She not only prepares the menus for Thursdays, she cooks, she orders, she picks up the food here on Whidbey and over town, solicits donations, picks up the donations, sets up and cleans up,” Hagglund said.

Her menu on Thursday includes a nice salad, bread, peanut butter and jam, a dessert, sandwiches, side dish or main dish, and soup of course; after all it’s a soup kitchen. “Jena is just the neatest person,” Hagglund added. “When I retired from work, Jean came to me and asked, ‘You wanna come play with me?’ What she meant was volunteer at the soup kitchen, and it’s been fun and gratifying ever since.” Volunteers at the soup kitchen all work together, and it’s like a family, Matheny said. “Our focus is on the people coming in to eat,” she said. “Some of our customers come in for social reasons; others need the food because they cannot afford a good meal otherwise. The meal is free to everyone.” Before her tenure began at the soup kitchen, Matheny was for 10 years the director of Time Together, a program dedicated to assisting elderly folks who are afflicted with diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The role was one of helping participants with everyday things, but also ensuring they get out and have a bit of fun too. Every Friday, she’d take them dancing. “We told them if you can’t dance just get up there and exercise your legs a bit,” said Matheny, with a smile. “They’d get up there and soon enough they’d be dancing. They just had to remember. It was a really rewarding experience.” Matheny happens to be a pretty good dancer herself, a ballroom dancer to be exact. She and her identical twin sister, Joan Langstaff, boogie down every Monday at the senior center in Everett. SEE MATHENY, A11

She’s also renowned as something of a card shark, in small circles at least. Matheny and the soup kitchen crew get together after the Thursday lunch is through and play “Hand in Foot” and her skill. “Jean is an awesome cook, is a vibrant square dancer and a sharp Hands and Foot card player, so watch out if you attend her weekly card games,” said Gail Corell, daughter of Jean’s close friend Jim Rambler. The longtime soup kitchen leader volunteers in other arenas around town as well. Along with her long efforts at the soup kitchen, and Time Together before that, Matheny volunteers in other places around town as well. She likes to spend time gussying the place up, most recently working to beautify Generation Park on Saratoga Road. Matheny likes things that look pretty. She designed the modest duplex in Langley she lives in. She painted the outside white with pink trim. Walking in you know it’s a feminine place, set in soft pastel colors and decorated

with flowers. She looks out her window and points at the affordable housing she and her husband had built many years before. “This world needs affordable shelter and food for everyone,” Matheny said. “I can’t help the world, but I do want to help those I can.” She says in addition to serving the folks that come in to eat at the Soup Kitchen, they also send home food care packages for those in need. “It’s sure fulfilling to see their appreciative faces when we give those out,” she said. Her first husband Ron, the father of their five children, perished in a plane crash. Her second husband passed away from cancer. “Life is not easy, as we all know, but I have the Lord on

my side so I can handle it,” Matheny said. She’s learned in life not to dwell on hardships, or mistakes either. “We can all find things in our lives to be sad or disappointed about,” she said. “It’s what we chose to focus on that makes our lives easier or harder. If I know I have said something wrong or done something wrong I apologize and try to make it right, but then I don’t’ dwell on it.” For example, she said someone told her a woman named Laurie thought she had been bossy. “By the time I found out, Laurie had already moved away, so where ever you are Laurie, I am sorry,” she said. “That’s the best I can do now for Laurie, and search myself to see if there is truth

in it.” Matheny wakes up each day and finds a purpose for the day. She says she doesn’t want to dwell on the losses she suffered, and instead focuses her attention on positives. “I take each day at a time, try to think of at least one person I can do something for, even if it’s a small thing,” Matheny said.

do. Her quiet, behind-thescenes work has resulted in many successful receptions in church, he said. She’s also “compassionate” and “caring,” one who sees a need and fills it, and always has time to give someone a hug to remind them that she cares.

Pastor Bob Welch said there are several words that come to mind when he thinks about Matheny, and the first is “Tireless.” “She seems to have a huge reservoir of energy when it comes to caring for people,” he said. Another is “Faithful.” One can always count on her to pull her weight and do what she says she will

Godfather of fly fishing South Whidbey master shares ‘no secrets’

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record A lot of words can accurately describe Gil Nyerges: teacher, artist, craftsman. To some Whidbey Island anglers, he’s a legend. But the 93-year-old Langley resident waves off such compliments. He maintains he’s just a guy who fell in love with fishing, a long time ago, on the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio. Armed with a 20-foot bamboo pole and a bit of line on the end — it had no reel — he learned from his father the basics of a past time he would later characterize as a “science,” an “art form.” Well, when it comes to fly fishing that is. “It’s the only way to fish,” said Nyerges, with a knowing smile and a twinkle in his eye. Spin casters would have something to say about such a claim, he admits, but Nyerges maintains it’s the far superior form of angling. And he would know, for the veteran fisherman has come a long way from those days with his father. Nyerges would later develop a passion and great skill for tying flies, so much so that a few of his most successful designs can be found in tackle boxes across the country. Indeed, “Gil’s Monster” — modeled after a dragon fly on a Canadian lake — and the “Nyerges Nymph” — inspired from tiny shrimp crawling on a raised anchor — have been slaying fish for more than 50 years. “He’s the guru of fly fishing, that’s for sure,” laughed Scott Waltenbaugh, a member of The Fishin’ Club’s board of directors. “He knows just about everything there is to know about fly fishing and tying flies.” Nyerges, a retired Boeing engineer, is generous with his gifts. The past few years he’s made “plates,” framed cases of flies he’s personally tied, to be raffled off at the club’s annual December dinner. Waltenbaugh said the

Gil Nyerges’ flies on display in Bayview Nyerges’ private collection of flies will be on exhibit from July 1 through the end of the month at the South Whidbey Bayview Senior Center, 14594 Highway 525, Langley. The senior center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Gil Nyerges, a Langley resident, ties a fly at his home shop. Nyerges, 93, is a long-time fly fisherman, and has been tying his own flies for more than 50 years, some of which are still sold in shops around Washington. proceeds are put toward the club’s scholarship program for South Whidbey seniors who are pursuing careers in a related marine industry. “Mathematicians are out of luck,” he said. Nyerges has been a member of the Washington Fly Fishing Club for more than half a century, and has had an impact on a generation of fishermen, said Jeff Dodd, president of the Whidbey Island Fishing Club. “He’s one of the guys who developed the patterns [of flies] and techniques we’re using today. ... He’s a pretty special guy,” Dodd said. Nyerges helped found the Whidbey club, which meets at 7 p.m. the second Wednesday of every month at the Race Road fire station on Central Whidbey. For nearly 30 years, he taught fly fishing classes in the spring and fall to students both young and old. He doesn’t teach any more, except for special requests, but he’s kept his registration book of all his former stu-

He insists that anyone can learn, and that there are “no secrets” to tying a successful fly — just steady hands and patience. In fact, crafting something that fish will hit is far simpler than most think. “It seems paradoxical, but it’s a fact,” Nyerges said. He recalled one frustrating day on a mountain lake where the fish just weren’t

biting. But instead of making a long march back to his cabin for something else to put on the end of his line, he found a twig, secured it to a bare hook and spent the rest of the day hauling in fish. “Just about everything you put out there when the fish are hungry, they’ll hit it,” he said. But while Nyerges doesn’t sell his flies for money, his designs aren’t lost; they can still be found in tackle shops across Western Washington, and in

Two of his designs, “Gil’s Monster” and the “Nyerges Nymph” have been particularly successful an impressive collection on his wall at home. It will be on special display at the South Whidbey Bayview Senior Center for 30 days, beginning July 1.

When asked about the honor, he shrugged and smiled. “That’s fine with me, I’ll just have bare walls for a month,” he said.

‘WISE MEN’ OF THE SKIES on the rise WHIDBEY BIRDING

Craig Johnson photo

Frances Wood

I’m getting reports of Nature Channel quality sightings of great blue herons at Greenbank farm. The farm’s executive director, Judy Feldman, recently emailed me, “Wow, the heron rookery just came alive! About 30 birds rose up like a plume of prehistoric smoke.” Later she reported seeing 50 of the herons. A heron colony thrives to the west of Highway 525 and the birds fly over the farm to stalk the beaches of Saratoga Passage for food. May and June are the most active months when eggs are hatching and young are being fed. Judy continued, “Seeing them in their nests, flying together as a group, or stalking the fields and wetlands alone, I always feel more connected to this place called Greenbank Farm, its past as well as its future. It’s like they stitch together all of the people, communities, activities, and traditions that have shown up here over the millennia.” Heron breeding colonies are probably not what you’d expect from this tall, gangly, long-legged and long-necked, beach-loving bird. They choose a grove of trees and then create loose stick nests near the tops. Sometimes several pairs will nest in one fairly insubstantial tree. And some colonies of herons contain up to 100 birds. If you’ve ever watched a heron stalking fish for its prey, you’ll understand why some indigenous cultures claim that herons contain the souls of wise men. The herons wade or stand perfectly still in shallow water waiting for small fish to venture close. When unwary fish do come near, they strike with their sharp stiletto bills. During flight, the birds fold their long necks back

Their broad wings carry them through the air with deep, slow wing beats. For many years the heron population on Whidbey was in a sharp decline. Their open nests provided little protection from bald eagles that fed on the young. As our eagle population grew, the heron population decreased. Then the osprey came to the rescue. That species feeds exclusively on fish and doesn’t bother the heron colonies. The more recent increase in osprey nests has benefitted the great blue

herons. Somehow the herons have figured out that if they establish their colony near an osprey nest, those raptors will ward off the eagles, leaving the heron chicks alone. I’ve never seen a young great blue heron up close, but I once helped raise a young wood stork, a fairly close relative to the heron. My husband and I were setting up a birding survey in a small Mexican village on the Caribbean Sea. Wood storks nested on an offshore island and, like the herons, built flimsy nests. One day a fisherman

brought in a baby wood stork that had fallen out of its nest. He pretty much

dumped the downy-plumed wood stork in our laps and asked if we would care for it. Neither of us had any experience raising wildlife, so the fisherman agreed to bring us live feeder fish each day. Soon “Woodie” was part of the family. We kept him in a pen enclosure and every evening we filled an aluminum tub with live fish. Woodie caught and gulped down the fish with no training and great facility. My husband and I marveled at the speed in which he could polish off about 20 fish in 20 seconds. Back here on Whidbey,

our great blue herons will begin fledging in the next few weeks. And by summer’s end the colony will be empty. Although sociable in their nesting habits, after breeding season the birds turn into loners and stake out individual winter feeding territories. They seem to hunker down in winter and turn back into those images of wise old souls. Frances Wood can be reached at wood@whidbey. com Craig Johnson is at Craigjohnson@whidbey.com

WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY Author Sandra Pollard will meet the public Saturday, at the Langley Whale Center.

Meet local author at Whale Center The author of “Puget Sound Whales for Sale,” will meet the public at an event in Langley this weekend. Sandra Pollard will be present from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 28, at the Langley Whale Center, 117 Anthes Ave. Her book is being released June 24. In November 2005, Washington’s killer whales, known as Southern Resident orcas, were placed on the endangered species list. It was considered by man a victory long overdue for a fragile population of fewer than one hundred whales. In “Puget Sound Whales for Sale,” author and certified marine naturalist Pollard traces the story and destinies of the many Southern Resident orcas captured for commercial purposes in or near the Puget Sound between 1964 and 1976. During this time, these orcas lost nearly onethird of their population. Drawing on original archive material, Pollard’s work outlines the history of orca captivity while also recounting the harrowing struggle-and ultimate triumph for the Puget Sound orcas’ freedom. Pollard was brought up in Cornwall, England, and now lives on Whidbey Island. She is a certified marine naturalist giving land and boat based talks about the endangered Southern Resident orcas and other marine mammals of the Salish Sea, a volunteer with the local whale sightings organization, Orca Network, and a member of the Central Puget Sound Marine Mammal Stranding Network.

“Jean is a wonderfully cheerful and encouraging person, an outstanding cook and an excellent organizer of volunteers… who has consistently and unselfishly used her talents to bless others in our South Whidbey community for many years. She’s been a hospitality for over 10 years at the Island Community Church, leader of the ‘Soups On’ soup kitchen for over 10 years, volunteered at the Senior Center, and so much more. Jean brings honor and credit to the Lord in all she does — she is an angel.” Bill McAfee, soup kitchen and community volunteer “What an incredible person. On each Monday she goes to town to get groceries for the soup kitchen… Fred Meyer and sometimes the food bank. She runs the kitchen on Thursday including cooking and running the front of the house. On Tuesday she comes in and runs the front of the house. She works 20 to 25 hours per week. If it was not for her we would not have big dinners on Thanksgiving or Christmas —she does it all, collects the turkey and cooks them, then rounds up volunteers to do the rest of the work, including serving the dinners. Praise the Lord sister.” Chef Dan Saul, soup kitchen volunteer and chef

“I have known Jean since 1965. Our kids went to school together, so we volunteered together. Jena is always hard working, caring, and tries to make people happy. The Island Church is one of her main interests, organizing trips and functions, the hospitality table and the soup kitchen. I have volunteered with her for seven years in the soup kitchen, and she always makes it a pleasure for the volunteers, and all who come in for the meal.” Sally Berry, church and community volunteer “I hold Jean in very high regard. She volunteers every day to help her people. She’s just a great lady, someone I really respect and admire her greatly.” Joan Jones, soup kitchen volunteer “Jean is a very caring and sincere person. She is always there for you. She is a dedicated volunteer for Whidbey Island. She spent many volunteer hours as a Time Together volunteer, many hours as a manager at Free Lunch at the Langley Church. She is an asset for Whidbey Island. I have known her for many years and she is a dear friend who I could call on at any time. I am happy to call her friend and she deserves this recognition.” Jody Neely, community volunteer “Jean is the epitome of helping others and giving back to her family, friends, neighbors and the community. Her years of dedication and commitment to the CMA/Whidbey Island Church for Thursday’s soup kitchen and the annual Thanksgiving dinner, with her twin sister Joan from Mukilteo, and her compassion and dedication to the Friday’s Time Together Group at the Bayview Senior Center just goes to show what an amazing and incredible lady she is.” Gail Corell, daughter of Jean’s close friend Jim Rambler

She was part of the LCC team that made Generation Park happen. She was also on the team that brought back the ‘Soup’ Box Derby in 2002. She has always been an active member in the Langley Community. So glad to have her as my friend.” Tucker Stevens, community volunteer “Jean had volunteered at Time Together before I came here; she’s so supportive and caring. She’s always pleasant and kind. She would help the participants at Time Together to the bathroom, or to eat or on field trips, she would help in any way needed always with kindness, she’s all about helping. She’s a worker bee. She and Jim, her buddy, visit people in their homes. She always has a hello for everyone.” Carol Edgar, Time Together program assistant “My mom provided the foundation for compassion, acceptance, and courage that both of us take forward into our own autonomous beliefs. I’d say that’s a great legacy. She is someone I admire. And so do her grand kids, like the 11-year-old who wrote an entire history paper about her.” Linda Porter, daughter “Oh Jean is such a hard worker, but of course everyone knows that. She’s also so fun, and such a giggly girl. We volunteered together for the group at the senior center called Time Together. We had such fun; her sense of humor is a joy. We play cards together too.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.
