Hospital chief to hang up hat

County to consider fairground contract next week By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Whidbey General Hospital commissioners are putting together a list of criteria to help them find the perfect chief executive officer, according to Commissioner Ron Wallin. Current CEO Tom Tomasino announced his plans during a board meeting last month to not renew his contract and retire in October of 2015. “He is announcing this now to give the board ample time to mount a search to find a new CEO,” wrote hospital spokeswoman Trish Rose, in an email. “It is also his hope for there to be a good turnover period to ensure a smooth transition in leadership.” Tomasino started serving SEE TOMASINO, A15

Hay farming tradition still strong in Village by the Sea Justin Burnett / The Record

Vance Tillman bales hay in a field on the other side of Third Street from St. Hubert Catholic Church in Langley. Tillman’s wife is Tiny Tillman of the Fossek family, which has had the property since the time of Tiny’s great, great grandmother, who had a hotel next to the field in 1906. Vance Tillman, with a face covered in dust, said the family has likely been growing hay in the lot for more than 100 years. It’s sold for feed to Whidbey farmers, but they also keep some for their own cattle.

The Island County commissioners agreed Wednesday to find a contractor to manage the fairgrounds for one year. But how that will shake out has yet to be determined. Commissioners will weigh the options at their July 21 meeting as part of their discussion of the county’s Capital Improvement Plan. While Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, South Whidbey’s representative, initially proposed that the county pay for a temporary county employee to manage the fairgrounds, commissioners seemed to find common ground with putting out a request for a contractor at the July 16 work session. “We have to make a shortSEE FAIR, A17

Golf course parking kerfuffle drives Holmes Harbor Sewer District to lawsuit By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Push came to shove over a parking squabble at a Freeland golf course this week, and the dispute, along with the fate of the fairways themselves, may soon be in the hands of the courts. At a special meeting Thursday morning, Holmes Harbor Sewer District commissioners voted unanimously to take legal action to preserve an easement they claim guarantees golf course parking at the clubhouse, a building owned by a private and autonomous limited liability corporation. Board President Stan Walker declined to delve into details of the legal argument, citing the pending litigation, but he did say the issue is no

small matter. “In essence, if we can’t use the parking lot the Holmes Harbor Golf Course will probably close,” Walker said. “This is pretty crucial to us,” he added. Edmonds resident Kevin Hanchett and his business partner, Mike Hooper, own the clubhouse and parking lot through Holmes Harbor Golf, LLC. Hanchett argues the district has no legal right to parking on his lot, and that solutions to the disagreement have been ignored. The current situation, he said, is one where golfers and course personnel are now regularly trespassing on his property. “There’s a variety of approaches [to solve the problem], but what they have done is just moved in and squatted,”

Hanchett said. “It’s a violation of my property rights,” he said.

Simply wrong Hanchett and Hooper purchased the fairways, clubhouse and adjacent undeveloped land in 2011. The previous owners, Holmes Harbor Community Partners, closed the course in March 2010. Then last year, the business partners sold the 18-hole course to the sewer district, which then hired a private operator to run the fairways as an independent contractor. SEE GOLF COURSE, A15

Red Cross islanders help apartment fire victims Nine volunteers from Islands Chapter American Red Cross helped set up for people displaced by an apartment fire in Mt. Vernon on July 2. About 200 people were left homeless following the blaze, including many families. A shelter was set up by Mt. Baker Red Cross at Skagit Valley College while caseworkers attempted to find replacement housing, which proved difficult. The shelter finally closed on Thursday, July 17. From South Whidbey’s disaster response unit, Ron Conlin and Bob Marcus worked overnight shifts at the shelter from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Other Islands volunteers worked in health services and day shifts at the shelter. Islands Chapter is part of the Northwest Washington Red Cross region with Mt. Baker and Snohomish County chapters, which also sent multiple volunteers to work at the shelter. Volunteers are needed.

“With the Island County Fair dates only a little more than a month away, the work pace on the fairgrounds at Langley has been picking up, with much already accomplished and plans moving smoothly along to make the annual prediction of ‘bigger and better than ever’ come true. “… All three fair rides have been repainted and repaired. The airplane ride, always the most popular, is located on a new and larger site … A new fence has been constructed around the horse arena and a batter of new lights has also been installed in the area….an old booth in front of the main fair building has been torn down and a new one constructed.”

Barney resigns post as clerk-treasurer of Town of Langley “Bernard ‘Barney’ Hein, town clerk and treasurer for the Town of Langley during the past 10 years, submitted his resignation by letter this week to Mayor Vincent Jones. “In his letter, the town clerk declared simply that ‘because of personal reasons and possible conflict of interest between the town and the Langley Marina, I wish to submit my resignation … effective Aug. 1.’ ”

He fell about 12 feet, straddling an alder first then tumbling into a nettle patch. “The youth was removed by Ed Pfeiffer and Homer Bakker of the South Whidbey ambulance crew.”

Sheriff fights to protect Island County deputy files By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record A proposal to move sheriff’s deputy files into the county’s human resources office was kiboshed by the county’s two Republican commissioners this week. During the board’s Wednesday’s work session, Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, the board’s sole Democrat, argued that keeping personnel files in different offices could open the commission up to costly lawsuits. Brown, backed by county Prosecutor Greg Banks, said he had the right to protect his deputies’ files as an elected official. “I want to keep my employees’ personnel files under my control — they’re my employees,” Brown said. “It’s not a reflection on our human resources department. I’m not hiding anything from you or the public or anyone else. I hope you would honor my request. It’s very important to me.” Commissioners discussed the issue as part of adopting the human resources policy manual. They agreed to move forward with the policy manual allowing for the sheriff and other elected officials to house their own personnel files. Traditionally, Island County’s elected officials, including the sheriff and prosecutor, have kept their employee personnel files within their own departments. Statewide, most counties with elected officials hold their own files, according to county Budget

Sheriff Mark Brown Director Elaine Marlow. “This is not an uncommon conversation,” Marlow said. Human Resources Director Melanie Bacon said she was concerned that there were multiple “official” personnel files. Bacon said in the case of sheriff’s deputies, a file is kept in human resources, civil service and the sheriff’s office. “It’s always problematic to have more than one official personnel file,” Bacon said. “They do come to me thinking that I have info for them and that I can access info and I can’t.” Brown argued that as an elected official, he should have the right to manage and protect his office’s personnel files.

One is for the completion of Second Street, and the other is for the city’s wastewater treatment plant. Two liquor licenses — The Braeburn and Useless Bay Wines — are up for review. And Langley is proclaiming the fourth Saturday of July as Island Shakespeare Festival Day, which will continue in perpetuity.

SCHOOLS Board will meet to ratify budget The South Whidbey School District board will discuss and vote on the 2014-2015 school year budget, deciding upon items such as a revision to the substitute teacher policy and approval of repairs for the middle school football field.

The meeting will begin with board training on the subject of risk management at 5:45 p.m. in the community room of the South Whidbey Elementary School in Langley.

These items include approval of the July personnel report, approval of the July payroll and warrant vouchers and approval of the Langley Middle School repair of football field drainage, a project to be completed by Albert Gabelein Construction which will amount to $19,566. Aside from budget ratification, other new business listed on the agenda will include approval of the previously proposed revision to the substitute teacher policy. The revision will include verbiage stating that the South Whidbey School District will comply with rules of the Washington State Retirement System when hiring retired teachers as substitutes.

COUNTY Input sought on natural hazards A coalition of Island County cities, towns and special purpose districts are creating a plan to prepare for impacts of natural disasters. During this process, citizens will be asked to contribute by sharing

local knowledge of an area’s vulnerability to hazards based on past occurrences. An update kickoff meeting will be 10 a.m. to noon Monday, July 28, at the Coupeville Recreation Hall. The plan is in response to federal mandates in the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 which called for a coalition to pool resources and create a uniform hazard mitigation strategy. The existing hazard mitigation plan must be updated every five years. This year, however, the update will be more indepth and include a hazard identification process. The Island County Office of Emergency Management is leading the process with support from technical consultant Bev O’Day with Bridgeview Consulting. It is funded by a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Administration and will take approximately nine to 12 months to complete. Public involvement will be sought via a multimedia campaign that will include public meetings, web-based information, questionnaires and updates on the plan’s progress via the news media. A planning team will be formed and will meet as needed throughout the process. Questions or comments should be directed to Eric Brooks at e.brooks@ co.island.wa.us.

Fired Langley cop sues city, police for ‘retaliation’ By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record A former Langley police officer is taking the city, the police guild and its new police chief to Island County Superior Court. Mitch Hardin filed a lawsuit in Island County Superior Court against Langley, the Langley Police Guild and Chief Dave Marks for breach of contract and unfair labor July 11. He and attorney Donald Heyrich of HKM Employment Attorneys in Seattle ask that he receive money for economic damages, be fully reinstated with the Langley Police Department and that his legal fees be covered. The 13-page complaint for damages and injunctive relief outlines Hardin’s side of a dispute, one that saw him transition from the department’s darling in March 2013 into a pariah nine months later. He was fired Jan. 22 — one month after being voted as the Langley Police Guild president — by Marks, who had taken over the department as its interim chief in August 2013 before being officially hired in early June 2014. Marks declined to com-

ment on the advice of the city’s legal representation at Lighthouse Law Group of Seattle. “I’ve been told not to say anything,” Marks said, with a sigh, in a phone interview Thursday. Mayor Fred McCarthy, however, defended the city’s position and right to fire Hardin because he was in a one-year probationary period. “It is the standard practice in municipal government to operate with a probationary period for new employees,” McCarthy said in a prepared statement sent to The Record.

“This period is to determine whether the individual is the best fit for the needs of a local municipality. During the probationary period a new employee can be released for any non-discriminatory reason. We released an employee who was on probation because the employee, in the view of the city, did not satisfactorily fulfill the expectations of their probationary employment.” Hardin was hired by nowretired chief Randy Heston. Having moved here to be closer to his family from the Detroit area of Michigan, Hardin came highly quali-

WAIF taps Oak Harbor’s P&L Construction for new shelter Oak Harbor-based P&L Construction will build the new animal shelter in Coupeville, with ground breaking slated for late July. The contractor will be in charge of assembling a new 12,544-square-foot shelter, according to a recent Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation news release. It will be located on nearly 10 acres and will have an expanded spay/neuter surgical site, six acres for dogwalking trails, can hold up to 140 cats and have more space for dogs. Other building upgrades include modern ventilation and sanitation systems, an intake area, adoption rooms, isolation units, grooming space and a training and education area. “Many people in the community have been waiting patiently for this endeavor to take hold,” said WAIF board president Bob Rupp, in the news release. “With

the selection of P&L Construction, we expect things to move quickly and at an efficient pace after we break ground.” The septic systems, electricity, phones and Internet are already established. The nonprofit that helps pets on Whidbey hopes to raise $3.8 million for the project, and has about 75 percent of that thus far from public donations. The new shelter will be located close to the existing shelter in Coupeville, near the entrance to Rhododendron County Park. For more information, visit www.waifanimals.org/new.

fied after a 13-year career as a sheriff’s deputy. Before Heston left Langley, he completed a performance review of Hardin that included praise such as “positive role model,” “received numerous positive compliments from citizens,” and “good team player.” Even after Marks assumed duties as the police chief, Hardin had high marks in a review. He scored 94 out of 105 possible points on an evaluation in mid-December. Problems began, Hardin alleges in the lawsuit, in late December 2013. The Langley City Council was pursuing a newly-created ethics ordinance. Part of that included the formation of an ethics board, which was scrapped by Mayor Fred McCarthy and the council before members of the commission who wrote the ordinance spoke against the decision. Concerns surfaced, however, from the Langley Police Guild and the Fraternal Order of Police about the ethics commission’s ability to evaluate police matters, such as a citizen’s complaint. Those were worked out between the city, the police and the ethics commission, and the ordinance was approved earlier

Editor’s column Maddox’s swim was a lesson for us all

By JUSTIN BURNETT

The ole personal column, perhaps the most challenging part of being a community newspaper editor. My predecessor once told me, “Anyone can write about something, the trick is learning to write about nothing, week after week.” Fortunately I have something to scribble about for Saturday’s paper, courtesy of Chuck Maddox. The Freeland resident and Snohomish County Fire District 1 captain took an unplanned dip into Holmes Harbor Monday and had to be rescued by his Whidbey counterparts. It was a light-hearted event, with a happy ending, and the adventure earned a shivering Mr. Maddox the spotlight on Wednesday’s front page of The Record. And if that wasn’t humiliation enough, King 5 news picked up the story and relayed it to the rest of Western Washington. Sounds like a lot of donuts to me [the tradition in fire departments is anyone unlucky enough to have their picture in the paper has to buy donuts for the rest of the crew]. So, you could accurately say that Mr. Maddox’s fame was unwanted, coming at the cost of a cold swim and an empty wallet. Expensive, yes, but a better word would be priceless. His story made headlines, and while the angle was of a rescuer who needed rescuing the message was about the importance of life jackets. Mr. Maddox might have survived the ordeal without one, but the one he was wearing greatly increased his chances. Indeed, aside from keeping him afloat, an attached whistle was heard by people still asleep in their homes. One online commenter admitted to being guilty of not always wearing a life jacket, and said the story has made him think twice. He’s not the only one. I grew up in Hawaii, actively surfed for 20 years and have worked and played on boats since childhood. I’m an active sailor, often alone and I am in a business where I am called on to write about marine rescues. What I’m saying is, I’ve spent a lifetime on the water and I know better, yet I don’t always wear a life jacket. I’m pretty good about it, especially when I’m alone, but I’m not as religious about wearing one as I am with a seat belt, and it’s shameful. Every time I go out without a life jacket, it’s a message to fellow boaters that this is OK. It’s not. It doesn’t matter how nice the weather is, and a seat cushion is not enough. Overconfidence is our worst enemy. As Mr. Maddox acutely demonstrated, even highly-trained professionals in the rescue business can find themselves in dicey and unexpected situations. His example is a reminder to us all to always, always wear a life jacket. So while Wednesday’s story was about a veteran rescuer needing rescue, it seems Mr. Maddox was in fact once again saving us. Thanks, Chuck.

Letters Response

Treasurer’s answer to question was wrong Editor, On July 10, the three Island County treasurer candidates participated in the League of Women Voters’ forum in Coupeville. Six questions were asked and answered by all candidates. Challenges were made in response to answers given; in response to statements made during one of those challenges, I followed up with the Island County Auditor’s Office for clarification of a statement made by Ana Maria Nuñez.

During my answer to one of the questions, I reported that the market value of the long-term investment portfolio administered by the treasurer had incurred a $1.7 million loss (3 percent of the portfolio’s face value) for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013. Nuñez challenged my statement and stated that the loss had been reduced to $350,000. This seemed questionable, so I contacted the auditor’s office, which confirmed that Nuñez’s claim is not true. The market loss of the portfolio is indeed $1.7 million. Nuñez’s figure of $350,000 has netted the interest income for the year against the market value decrease. The question was related to the investment policies that resulted in

Interest income and market value adjustments are reported separately in the financial statements; one is revenue and the other is an adjustment to an asset account — this is accounting 101. As a certified public accountant, Nuñez should be aware of the difference. The $1.7 million loss resulted from purchases of bonds with extended maturity dates. When interest rates increased at the end of 2013, the value of those bonds dropped because the market interest rate on that date exceeded the interest rate on the bonds owned.

Centennial reflections

McCarthy

By FRED McCARTHY Mayor of Langley We have been having an extraordinary run of beautiful weather. Don’t you think we live in one of

the most beautiful and unique cities in the world? We have received so many positive comments about the Second Street Project from citizens, the construction company, business owners, and the engineers to name a few. It’s a special feeling to walk to work each day and see the dream realized in the form of such a transformed space. Seeing families gathering in the plaza in the middle of the city or sitting on the benches or chairs is very affirming. My summer reading has included two new books written by local authors that are so inspiring, each in its own way. “Blessing the Hands that Feed Us” by Vicki Robin is all about the adventure of eating within 10 miles of home from the produce grown by local farmers and gardeners in our area. The second book is “Whidbey Island, Reflections on People & the Land.” Elizabeth Guss, Janice O’Mahony, and Mary Richardson have special

the loss in market value, the county has also suffered lost opportunity cost in its inability to purchase bonds at current higher interest rates, as it is locked into the longer maturities of the bonds it now holds. There are those who will say that any investment officer makes assumptions about future interest rate increases or decreases when considering investment choices. It is appropriate that she assume responsibility for the actual market

Fun, achievement are Whidbey woman’s reasons for running Ragnar By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record A special type of person willingly signs up to run distance races, like the Northwest Passage Ragnar Relay that ends in Langley today. To go from Blaine — the Washington border town and gateway to British Columbia/ Canada — to the Island County Fairgrounds covers 196 miles and two days. Katie Anderson, a former Clintonian and current Coupevilleian, is one of those people who elected to register for the grueling run that will take her up hills, down bluffs, over bridges and through three counties. “It’s someone who has a regular weekday job and likes to find [a challenge],” said Anderson, 29. “I’m not a professional athlete; I played softball in college, but I want to find ways to push my body, see what my body can do and feel that achievement.” Anderson and her 11 teammates and many more volunteers who will drive a pair of vans to carry the resting racers comprise #HashRag. The team, like nearly every one of the 520 teams signed up for the relay, has some type of clever name: Adult Supervision Required, Will Run for Donuts, Lacey’s Breast Friends, and Marga-Relay-Ville to list a few of the first 12 teams. Pageantry in the form of brightly-colored outfits, team T-shirts, van decorations and window writing is part and parcel of the Ragnar Relay. The race is less about who finishes first, and more about who finishes with flair. For Anderson, who is the only Whidbey resident on the #HashRag team since her husband Chris had to drop out because of an injury, and team, that means bright green shirts with #HashRag printed on the front. She said she expects some of her teammates from Seattle and one lone wolf from Spokane to come in costume. “We’ve got a few folks who really enjoy playing dress up, though,” Anderson said. Event organizers expect more than 6,000 people to filter through the fairgrounds as teams cross the finish line. That number seemed a bit high to Langley Chamber of

Runners from the team Cirque du Sore Legs cross the finish line of the 2013 Northwest Passage Ragnar Relay, which ends at the Island County Fairgrounds in Langley. Commerce Executive Director Marc Esterly, who noted that it rarely feels like a packed finish line because of the spread-out nature of the teams. Some will reach the course’s end by 11 a.m., and others will come in the late afternoon. Despite the large influx, Esterly said the race is not expected to be a significant bump in business in downtown Langley. “Some stay, have their lunch and dinner and head home,” Esterly said. “It’s not like we see truckloads of people coming to watch the race.” Hosting the race’s finish line was not viewed as a nuisance either. Esterly noted that businesses have rarely complained to him about the traffic or any congestion/parking problems on the weekend of the race. But having a course as long as

the Northwest Passage means there is not one set viewing place for supporters to congregate and cheer, except the finish line. Even then, they are usually in the vans with the racers, or handing out water or directing race traffic, rather than all waiting in Langley. “The Ragnar ends at Langley, but it’s not like a lot of people come for the end of the race like an Olympic event,” Esterly said. The race began at 5 a.m. Friday and is expected to conclude by 6 p.m. Saturday, July 19, and requires each racer to run three segments of the course. Broken up evenly means 16.3 miles for each team member. It’s rare that each racer runs an equal distance, however, because of the varying degree of difficulty of each leg. Some are uphill the whole way but only a few miles. Others are flat and go for

several miles. Teams are allowed to sort out which runner takes which leg, as long as each registered racer puts their feet on the pavement. Langley was selected as the finish line after Bruce Matheson, who scouts areas for Ragnar Relays, visited Whidbey Island. Setting courses around natural wonder is part of Ragnar’s draw, according to its director of market development. “Really, it’s all about the beauty,” said Steve Frazee. “One of the focuses for us is to have our races in an iconic, beautiful spot.” Added Matheson: “We also have to take into consideration safety as well as beauty.” For Katie Anderson, this race will be a first despite having competed in four marathons of 26.2 miles each. And yet even with all of her competitions and the hun-

dreds of miles she’s logged, she still gets the jitters. On Thursday, just hours before she met with her teammates and friends for a pre-race dinner at her Coupeville home, she said she could feel anxiety and nervousness settle in. “I get nervous before every single race,” she said. “It’s one of the best parts — my stomach doesn’t want to calm down, my body doesn’t want to sleep.” “I’ve already got the nervous stomach.” After the hills, the sore legs, the protein bars, the electrolyte sport drinks, water stops, exchanges and van naps, the race is mostly about having fun with friends. “With Ragnar, I get to celebrate with my friends every step of the way,” Anderson said.

‘Bounce Mania’ takes over in Loganberry Festival’s absence Obituary By RON NEWBERRY Whidbey News Group

One of the first things Bo Chernikoff thought of when he heard about the cancellation of the Loganberry Festival this year was the children. The long running event at Greenbank Farm traditionally offered numerous events for Whidbey Island kids. Chernikoff and others from his church organized the children’s entertainment. “It’s so much fun to see these little kids having a ball,” Chernikoff said. “Quite a few of the helpers are grandparents like I am. A children’s joy is so transparent. You love to see that.” When a conflict with another event prompted Loganberry Festival organizers to suspend the occasion this year, the elder board with the Whidbey Evangelical Free Church of Greenbank decided it wanted to do all it could to keep at least a portion intact. So, from noon-6 p.m., Sunday, July 27, the church and Greenbank Farm are combining efforts to preserve the children’s entertainment aspect of the festival by offering a free event that will feature five bouncy houses, a pie-eating contest, dunk tank and other games. They’re calling the event, “Bounce Mania.” Kids from 2 to 14 are allowed to participate but must be accompanied by an adult. Bounce Mania will take place on the same weekend that the Loganberry Festival traditionally occurs but instead of two days, will be condensed to one. Officials with Greenbank Farm and Port of Coupeville announced in March they were canceling this year’s Loganberry Festival mostly because the Whidbey Island Area Fair moved to the end

of July, leaving only one week between events. With the change, 4-H groups, featured at both events, would have been forced to choose. While the future of the Loganberry Festival remains unclear, Bounce Mania is intended to continue with some of the festival’s most fun events. Nearly 50 members of the Whidbey Evangelical Free Church will help run the event. Face painting, a ring toss and golf putting are among the options for kids. Food vendors also will be on hand and Whidbey Pies & Cafe will be open. “Maybe we can keep it going and next year make it bigger and better and make it for the (whole) family,” said Chernikoff, one of elders of the church, which has run the children’s events at the festival for at least a decade. Greenbank Farm officials will continue to run the popular pie-eating contest, including a competition for adults, too. Also for adults, a wine and cheese pairing will take place with author Kristin Ohlson on hand to give a reading of her book, “The Soil Will Save Us,” at 2 p.m. The book explores new ways in which farmers are tending their soil in an attempt to reserve global warming. A discussion will follow Ohlson’s reading. “We are hoping that people interested in farming will talk about the practices she describes in her book,” said Judy Feldman, executive director of the Green Bank Farm. Feldman said she’s excited that children’s activities will be held and pie-eating contest preserved to help make up for some of the disappointment from the Loganberry Festival’s suspension. She said blueberries will be used in the competition instead of loganberries.

The winner of a pie-eating contest raises his hand in victory. The annual Loganberry Festival has been cancelled this year due to a scheduling conflict. “We’ll save the loganberry pie eating contest for when the Loganberry Festival rears its head again,” she said. Whether that will be in 2015 should be known in the fall, she said. Feldman directs the Greenbank Management Group, a nonprofit that operates the farm. The management group’s contract with the Port of Coupeville expires next summer, but she expects the port could make a decision on who will get the new contract at its October meeting because the deadline for bid proposals is in late September. “It would be presumptive on our part,” Feldman said of planning for a 2015 festival. She said if the port continues to allow the Greenbank Management Group to operate the farm, there would still

Richard Allen Thomas

Richard Allen Thomas was one of Whidbey Island’s heroes. He was a school volunteer with the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders at South Whidbey Elementary School. He worked for 17 years (3 days a week) volunteering with Whidbey’s youngsters — helping them understand and enjoy reading and math. Richard was born in Richmond, Calif., and has lived on Whidbey since retiring in 1993. Richard served in the United States Army. Richard was 79 years of age and passed away while in Providence Hospital in Everett. He passed peacefully at 6:30 p.m. on July 12 with his wife, Linda, at his side. He is survived by his wife, Linda Thomas; daughter, Andrea Chisum DeLany; and three grandsons, Julian, Joshua and Jacob DeLany, all of Clinton. Richard has donated his body to medical research and there will be no service. Donations may be made in his name/memory to WAIF Animal Shelter in Coupeville.

Mary Lou (Larsen) Mack

Mary Lou Larsen was born on Aug. 23, 1925 on Bainbridge Island. Although she was raised in Redmond, Wash., a piece of her was always an “Island girl.” Shortly after the war, she married Bill Mack, a Merchant Marine, and another lover of the sea. She and her husband, Bill, had four children. From the time that the oldest child could safely travel in public, Mary Lou and Bill saw to it that all of the children were able to spend as much of their time as possible on the beaches of the Sound. Every summer, Mary Lou would pack up their old car and load it up with the children. Then Bill would hitch their old, peeling rowboat to the car. Mary Lou would fill the boat with all the necessities: highchairs, play pens, suitcases, sleeping bags and coolers. She used

those bright orange life jackets to pad the brimming load. Bamboo fishing poles got tucked into the sides. Finally, the family would head out for the ferry. Before the car had barely rolled to a stop in front of the fishing cabins at Sunrise Beach Resort in Langley, the kids would be jumping out and running for their first feel of sand. Even as they added numerous foster children to their family, the summer goal was to spend as much time on Whidbey as possible. Mary Lou, aka Mom, Lou, and later Grandma and GreatGrandma, managed to make all that transporting and vacationing look easy. She did this regardless of how many children she was raising. It was not surprising, then, as they reached retirement and all those children were finally grown, that Mary Lou and Bill retired by the water. They bought a permanent place on Whidbey. There, for the next 30 years, Mary Lou made their home. Retirement, of course, was meant for “The Island.” Living in Freeland was quite possibly the happiest time of Mary Lou’s entire life. She and her husband, Bill, were seldom apart. The Freeland community provided both of them with many opportunities. They joined Trinity Lutheran Church and loved shopping at PayLess and Ace Hardware. Of course, nearly every weekend Mary Lou and Bill were visited by one of their many family members. She seemed to always be surrounded by their children, grandchildren or the children of one of the many foster kids she helped raise. Any children she met on South Whidbey also fell under her charms. As the years passed, Mary

Lou added numerous greatgrandchildren to her loving admirers. She taught them all vital life skills, such as “Always eat dessert first because life is short,” or how to bake cupcakes or even the correct way to wash a doll’s hair. She was not sexist; the little boys, not just the girls, learned these skills, as well the fun of putting on bright red toenail polish. It was not at all unusual for Mary Lou to walk kids across the road to Freeland Park. There, she could be seen teaching a child how to pump a swing or how to master the climbing bars. Sometimes they were “hers,” and sometimes they were just children in need of a little attention. Mary Lou rejoiced in each child’s victory, no matter how seemingly small they might be. At Freeland Park, Mary Lou and Bill also regularly launched their small boat. Together they went fishing. Mary Lou usually caught the most fish. They both joined a bowling league at Freeland Lanes. Mary Lou, of course, out scored him. They dined as a special treat at one of Freeland’s intimate restaurants. Occasionally, Mary Lou and Bill joined other seniors from the Island for a bus trip to Reno. While on those trips, Mary Lou, of course, won more money than Bill, though Bill definitely ate more than she did. No matter what they were doing, they loved their time together by the water. In their front yard, Mary Lou worked on her roses. She carefully groomed and watered her large lawn and her variety of other flowers. She kept a close eye on Bill as he rode their lawn mower. Mary Lou and Bill celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at Freeland Hall. Many of their

family and lots of friends filled the hall to capacity. For their 60th anniversary, their children sent them on a cruise to Alaska. As much as she liked her walks with Bill and enjoyed canning fruit from their many trees, Mary Lou always looked forward most of all to the weekly bingo game at the Senior Center. That was the true highlight of her week. Even when she grew older and her vision began to fail, she eagerly awaited those Wednesday evening games. Though she chose to stay on the Island despite Bill’s chronic illness, she never missed her bingo game. When she nursed Bill through his final days, she showered him with unconditional love. It was, however, those bingo games that carried her through her darkest days after his death. Even when driving became difficult, her friends from the island drove her. After Bill died, bringing an end to 63 years together, Mary Lou clung to the life that Whidbey provided for her. She could be seen sitting on her porch, sipping her orange floats and enjoying those peaceful views of Holmes Harbor. The breeze off the water brought her real comfort. Neighbors embraced her and, in true Whidbey fashion, looked after her when she needed anything. Finally, four years ago, when she became too fragile to live by herself, Mary Lou reluctantly agreed to move to Seattle, rationalizing that it would “make it easier for her children.” Still, she pined for the peace and quiet of the Island. She kept photos of the view out of their Freeland front window hung on her new living room wall. She missed the deer and the rab-

{ OFF 20%

bits that frequented her yard, too. In her new home, every time a siren went by, it was a personal affront to the quiet she loved on “her Island.” She continued to frequent Freeland businesses whenever possible, even vicariously until the end. When old friends called or her children had returned to Whidbey for a visit, she clung on their stories, barraging them with questions. She longed for those 3rd of July celebrations to the very end. She remembered the huge gatherings of family and friends that “oohed and aahed” at the fireworks from on her front yard. She described them to anyone who was at all interested. Mary Lou passed away from cancer in her “substitute home” on June 20 after a brief period in a hospice program. During those last days, she was surrounded by some of her adoring grandchildren, great grandchildren, and her daughters and close family members, as well as the numerous young staff from Merrill Gardens that she had befriended. A short celebration of Mary Lou’s life will be held on her birthday at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, 2014, at Freeland Park. Refreshments will follow because you could not go to her home without being fed. (Her family promises not to serve any of their terrible coffee, however.) Please stop by and join us in our celebration. Children of any age are welcome. Mary Lou’s family will be placing a memorial bench at Freeland Park, where many of Mary Lou and Bill’s “children” grew up. In lieu of flowers, Mary Lou requested that any remembrances be sent to “The Mack Memorial Bench Fund,” c/o 14401 First Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98177.

It’s cool to drive carefully Driving doesn’t just mean learning to control a vehicle and being familiar with road signs. It also involves knowing how to behave responsibly and safely while sharing the road with others. Some people seem to experience a sudden personality change when they get behind a steering wheel. Even-keeled and responsible people can suddenly become speed demons, too happy to “flip the bird” at another driver in frustration. Car manufacturers often take advantage of this change in people’s behavior when they advertise the freedom and excitement that purchasing their products can procure. What kind of driver will you be? Will you use your car to attract attention or impress your friends? Do you have impulse-control difficulties? Are you a genuine thrill seeker? However you see yourself, keep in mind that people who love speeding aren’t always aware of the dangers involved and often overrate their driving skills and their ability to react quickly. Likewise, the more stressed they are, the more likely they are to press a little too hard on the gas pedal. Even worse, when speed is combined with alcohol and drugs, there is very often a heavy price to pay—both financial and in human terms.

Your first car

If you’re thinking about purchasing your first car while you’re still at school, you may not be rolling in money. To get your hands on a good deal in terms of insurance and coolness factor, opt for an inexpensive used vehicle that doesn’t have too much power under the hood. And when you pick up your friends, remember that they want you around for a long time to come. It’s all about being sensible and responsible while enjoying your new-found freedom. Don’t take to the road when stressed out or angry.

Double, doubleShakespeare toil and trouble : festival offers twice the drama By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

Zora Lungren performed in her first play, “Romeo and Juliet,” when she was a seventh grader attending Langley Middle School. Today, in a vintage theater tent propped in the field behind that same middle school, she is preparing to relate what is known in theater circles as “the unplayable scene.” Lungren, who eventually left her small hometown to attend college in the Big Apple, is rehearsing to play Lady Anne Neville in Shakespeare’s “Richard III,” one of two roles she will perform in repertory as a part of this summer’s annual Island Shakespeare Festival. Rose Woods, founder of Island Shakespeare Festival, invited Lungren to return to Whidbey to be a part of this year’s performances in “Richard III” and as part of the ensemble in “Taming of the Shrew,” to which Lungren accepted. “I can see all of my roots from the tent. It’s such a great feeling to be coming back to my roots in such a sweet way,” said Lungren. Aside from the astounding beauty of the island in summertime, Lungren said she enjoys visiting Whidbey for the bragging rights it affords her as she tells friends back in New

I was always excited to go to rehearsal.

I always had so many other things going on but when I was in a show, that was always the most important to me… I felt that every time I took on a character it made me open my eyes and grow as a human being, it opened another facet of my personality and myself,” she said. “I felt that I matured in a very special way. I was exposed to such good theater and such support from the community.” For South Whidbey resident and Island Shakespeare company member Shelley Hartle, Lungren and their fellow actor Morgan Bondelid, a resident of Freeland, researching their roles has proven especially rewarding. “This role is probably my favorite because she’s incredibly strong and smart and unyielding. She had to put up with a lot of crap,” said Bondelid of her character, Queen Elizabeth in Richard III. “This is a real person…Researching her has been really fascinating.” Though Shakespeare’s play contains some historical discrepancies, Lungren noted that she, Woods and the rest of the group had decided to stick to the script while keeping historical context in mind. “I’m so excited for ‘Richard’ because the part is so juicy and so meaty. I just sent out this one superduper-long email to Rose of all these ideas I have… I’m so excited to sink my teeth into it. It’s so intense; the

wordplay is so amazing. It’s literally an actress’ dream.” The reason this scene is known as “unplayable,” according to Lungren, is that it requires the actress to make sense out of a nonsensical situation: Lady Anne Neville accepts a marriage proposal from the man who recently murdered her brothers and father, while in the line of her bereaved loved one’s funeral procession. For Lungren, it is a challenge she is more than willing to accept, particularly due to her fascination with Lady Anne Neville’s strength and wit despite the circumstances of her life and upbringing. Jackie Apodaca, guest director of “Taming of the Shrew,” concurred with Lungren, Hartle, Woods and Bondelid that the works of classic playwrights and storytellers such as Shakespeare are timeless. Apodaca referenced the prime-time television series “The Bachelorette,” as an example of classic tales such as “Romeo and Juliet,” and “Twelfth Night,” played out in a modern context. In a testament to Shakespeare’s timelessness, Apodaca decided to take “Taming of the Shrew” to the Wild West, providing a backdrop she refers to as an ideal opportunity to make Shakespeare’s tale relatable in terms of U.S. history and the idea of the frontier, Manifest Destiny and the role of women in society. For Apodaca and

Freeland author to relaunch children’s book on 90th birthday By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Jacquie Milligan has been many things: painter, mother, writer for shows like “Hawaii 5-O” and “The Mickey Mouse Club,” Boeing customer support specialist, founding member of the Whidbey Island Writers Conference Committee, “ardent fan” of Italian operatic pop trio Il Volo and published children’s book author—to name a few. It is this last endeavor that has Milligan, a Freeland resident who describes herself as an “excitable personality,” beaming and giddy, “going nuts” in her words, as she sits in the WiFire cafe in Freeland, three of her five recently revised “Whootie Gives a Hoot” children’s safety books spread out before her. The series, which she originally penned in the ’80s, will be re-launched in conjunction with her 90th birthday celebration next week. The stories, which double as coloring books, follow the adventures of Whootie, a wise bespectacled gray owl, as he rescues his colorful animal comrades Jenny, Patches, Candy, Pepper and Snowball from various misadventures and advises them in the rules of safety. After working in Hollywood for 25 years, Milligan began a job writing brochures and promotional materials for hospitals in the Houston area when she was assigned to write a story for children

In the process, she decided to make certain changes, such as revising some of the language and contacting the original illustrator who agreed to redraw the cover art. “You can lecture [children] all you want, but it goes in one ear and out the other usually,” Milligan said. “There are so many things that kids get into that are dangerous and this way they follow the adventures and Whootie advises them… and it sticks with them.” In addition to Whootie, Milligan has had a historical romance novel and a couple of short stories published and is working on a mystery novel.

as interim CEO in October of 2008 and was officially chosen as CEO in the summer of 2009. Wallin said the fact that Tomasino is retiring isn’t a big surprise because the “average stint” for a hospital CEO tends to be five to 10 years before they start to “burn out” from the amount of complex work. “It’s not a bad thing,” Wallin said. “He’s feeling it’s time for a change for him and the hospital.” Wallin said the board plans to do a nationwide search for candidates through an agency that specializes in finding executive-level employees. “The board really appreciates that he gave us a year to find a replacement,” he said. “It means a new CEO can come in and work with Tom before he leaves so we have a really smooth transition.” The hospital board had some difficulty in finding a CEO in 2009. After a nationwide search, the board named three finalists, but they all dropped out. Tomasino had applied for the position, but was not initially named as a finalist. In the end, however, the commissioners said he was the best person for the job. His contract included a base salary of $230,000 in addition to benefits and educational expenses. Wallin said he suspects that

The partnership was hoped to be a win for all, but the relationship between the entities has since soured, and the district’s decision on Thursday to take the Holmes Harbor Golf LLC to court was in the wake of a series of incidents concerning the clubhouse and parking lot, which Hanchett and Hooper still own. It began with news about three months ago that the annual lease for the pro shop, located in the clubhouse and held by Craig Moore, the private contractor managing the golf course, would not be renewed. That lease ended July 14, and Moore has since been doing business out of a rented construction trailer next to the parking lot. Moore claims he was never given a reason, and that he only learned of Hanchett’s decision when alerted by sewer district officials. Perplexed by the development, Moore said there’s no logic to the move and suspects Hanchett has other long-term plans for the building. Nothing else makes sense, he said. “If it smells like a fish, it might be a fish,” Moore said. Adding fuel to Moore’s and community suspicions about Hanchett’s motives,

ers last year approved a $50-million bond proposal to expand Whidbey General Hospital; the bond narrowly failed a couple of years prior, but Tomasino and others returned with a vigorous effort to present the proposal to the community. In announcing his retirement, Tomasino told the board that the hospital has had “a phenomenal change with employee satisfaction and the community,” according to minutes of the meeting.

earlier this month large concrete blocks were placed in the western entrance to the parking lot, restricting but not blocking off access to golf patrons. Then this week, a chain was put up sometime late Tuesday night that cut off all access to the entrance. It was quickly taken down, but for many it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The South Whidbey Record fielded a steady stream of calls from angry and concerned Holmes Harbor residents Wednesday and Thursday. “It looks like someone is trying to shut down our golf course,” said Jo McCloskey, a Holmes Harbor resident. “We just got our home values to start going back up,” she added. The course’s years-long closure had a negative impact on home values, she said, but things have begun looking up. McCloskey called the course a community “asset,” and that she’d “hate to see someone ruin it for us.” Paul Kiernan, also an area resident, said it appeared a systematic effort was underway to undermine and ultimately close the golf course. He share’s McCloskey’s concerns about home values, but added that losing the golf course would have an adverse effect on sewer rates. SEE LAWSUIT, A16

“If that golf course closes, we’re back to higher sewer bills and lower home values,” Kiernan said. “This is plain and simply wrong to do this to our community… . As a homeowner and golfer, I’m pretty pissed off,” he said.

No conspiracy Hanchett has a different version of events, however, and claims he isn’t the bad guy. And while he admits he has hopes for the clubhouse, he maintains he has no desire to see the golf course closed. If that were the case, doing so would be easy, he said. “If I was trying to shut down the golf course, I’d cut off their rights to my lawnmowers and everything else,” Hanchett said. The LLC still owns much of the equipment used to maintain the golf course, along with a maintenance building on the west side of the development. All of it is currently leased to the sewer district. “The conspiracy theory makes no sense,” he said. Hanchett also claims there’s more to his lease decision than critics are recognizing.

A master site plan approved in the early 1990s depicts parking near the Holmes Harbor Golf Course clubhouse. The Holmes Harbor Sewer District contends the document is part of a legal easement for parking, but building owner Kevin Hanchett feels otherwise. The issue appears as if it will be the basis for a lawsuit, following the district decision this week to sue. The graphic above was modified by the South Whidbey Record to show the location of a temporary golf course headquarters, shown in the bottom left-hand corner. the issue was that unauthorized electrical modifications were made to the building that caused circuits to trip, impacting his other tenant, the Roaming Radish catering company and gastropub. Warnings were given, but went unheeded, he said. “As a result, I elected not to extend his time period,” Hanchett said. As for the parking issues, the concrete blocks were installed as a security measure for a July 4 party, and he claims no involvement with the chain put up Wednesday.

He did note, however, that golf carts have been left in the parking lot and that his other tenant, the Roaming Radish, has the only legitimate right to parking. Although some residents swear to seeing the chain put up by restaurant workers, office manager Jennifer Hajny said they are not responsible. “I have no idea about the chain,” she said. The business has come under fire from some who believe it is somehow involved in the escalating

quarrel, but owners Jon-Paul and Jess Dowdell say their only role is to have been dragged into an ongoing dispute. “It feels like we’re kids in the middle of a divorce,” Jess Dowdell said. They also say they have no desire to see the golf course closed, as they only stand to benefit from a thriving business. In fact, they claim to have a “permit” to serve golfers on the fairways. “The better they do, the better we do,” Jon-Paul Dowdell said. The Dowdells did confirm, however, that while they didn’t have concrete designs to expand and didn’t work to push the pro shop out, they may capitalize on the vacancy and convert it to office space. Hanchett also said he would be interested in selling the building to the business, if they show an interest.

According to Stan Walker, Hanchett is a businessman and his interests aren’t more important than the sewer district’s, but the commissioners believe a past easement makes the issue of parking clear. Adopted by the county commission, the easement is included in a 1992 master site plan. Note 4 of the document says the area is “for the ongoing use, operation,

Said easement is dedicated to the benefit of the current and future owners of Holmes Harbor Golf Course.” Walker noted that even without the legal agreement, the golf course’s origins began in the 1940s, and that parking has always been provided. “The parking lot has been there for 60 years,” he said. According to Hanchett, he claims there is precedent that nullifies the past easement when he purchased the course, building and parking lot. He can’t have an easement for his own use on his own properties, he said. Hanchett also said the sewer district isn’t the victim it pretends to be. It had a three-year lease for the parking lot when it bought the fairways in 2013, but Hanchett said they exercised an option to terminate the agreement after running into trouble finding an initial operator. “So it begs the question, why would you spend money on leased property when you have an absolute right to it already?” Hanchett said. Also, he said proposals to rearrange the course by making its start at the maintenance building, a location where there’s room for parking, have been ignored.

Furthermore, following notification that the pro shop lease would not be renewed, a wetland area was drained without proper permits. County regulators ordered the district to cease the operation until the needed documents could be acquired. Hanchett claimed it was for a new clubhouse. “What they are doing is skipping all the rules and jumping right to the end result,” he said. “It’s incredibly irresponsible.” The idea of a clubhouse is a source of concern for some homeowners. One of those who called The Record said they feared the structure would be built and the golf course later fail, leaving residents with the tab. According to Walker, the district did consider the proposal to relocate the course’s headquarters to the maintenance building, but rejected the idea due to a nearby well head. The permitting and cost made it prohibitive, he said. Also, sewer districts are in the sewer business, and investing that much money into the course might raise flags with state regulators. “We have authority to be a sewer district, not a golf company, and we’re trying to stick with that as best as possible,” Walker said. As for the pond draining, Walker said the project isn’t as irresponsible as Hanchett claims. It may become the footprint for a future clubhouse, but it’s been eyed for removal for years due to it being a safety hazard, he said. The pond was lined with stacked railroad ties, making an edge like a pool and resulting in the deaths of several deer. “Even baby ducks couldn’t get out without a ramp,” Walker said. Also, several residents had complained about an inability to get lower homeowners insurance premiums due to its proximity. As for the permitting, he said the district did check with the county for needed permits and believed they wouldn’t need any. The county later deemed one was required, and an application is now pending, Walker said. He added that a clubhouse is by no means certain, that its future hinges on the fate of the current dispute with Hanchett over parking. That’s the real issue, he said, and Hanchett’s call-out of the pond was a “red herring” and an attempt to distract from the real matter. “The issue is whether we have an easement on the parking lot,” Walker said. “The rest of that is just baloney.”

Alleged Freeland hand slicer lands in court By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record A 46-year-old Freeland man is accused of slicing another man on the hand with a knife during an argument about video surveillance, court documents state. Prosecutors charged Thomas R. Hicks in Island County Superior Court July 11 with second-degree assault. The alleged victim, a 54-year-old man, told the investigating deputy that he had some friends over on July 8 and they were sitting outside on the porch. He claimed Hicks, who is a neighbor, started videotaping them. The man said he walked over to Hicks to ask him to stop; Hicks allegedly pulled out a small kitchen knife and “swiped” at him, cutting the palm of his hand, according to the report by Deputy Sean Warwick with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The deputy wrote that the cut was about an inch long and exposed the muscle and fat in his hand. Hicks, however, denied cutting the man and said he never had a knife. He claimed that the alleged victim called him an offensive name and was yelling at a neighbor’s farm animals, Warwick wrote. Hicks said he ran away when the man approached him and threatened to break his camera, the report states. Another neighbor said the alleged victim had been yelling at sheep.
