Cracking computer code ‘It doesn’t take a genius. Anyone can do it.’ — Haley McConnaughey
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Andy Gilbert and Haley McConnaughey run through coding tutorials at Whidbey Makers in Clinton. A series of computer code workshops will take place on South Whidbey next week as part of the international Hour of Code.
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Competitive underwater robotics are a thing of the past for South Whidbey’s international Atlantis ROV crew. Now, the team of three teenage girls is looking forward, and that future will feature the language of computer code. On Wednesday, Dec. 10, Atlantis ROV and Whidbey Makers are teaming up to put on a day full of free computer wonderment as part of the international Hour of Code to teach young people how to program software. According to www.hourofcode. com/us, the event is designed to “demystify
code and show that anybody can learn the basics.” “It’s not only a learning experience, it’s also a social event,” said Andy Gilbert, one of the founders of the Clinton science labs at Whidbey Makers. “You get to meet people with similar interests.” Atlantis ROV made international headlines this summer with an invitation to the Black Sea International ROV Competition in Romania. The team of Hannah McConnaughey, Haley McConnaughey and Annika Hustad left as high school champions and returned as local inspiration. Shortly after their trip, they were
invited to visit with the team responsible for the Microsoft Surface tablet at the company’s campus in Redmond. That was followed by an invitation to be part of the Women in Innovation panel at the Pacific Northwest Economic Region conference in Seattle a couple of weekends ago. On stage was the director of science and education from the Pacific Science Center, the woman responsible for bringing Ford automobiles into China, and the three South Whidbey teens. One of the lessons from the Microsoft meeting came into effect during the conference. Haley recalled being told to dream
big and ask big, so when Atlantis had the chance during the panel, the girls asked for help with the Hour of Code. The response they got was overwhelming. Atlantis and Whidbey Makers are expecting a few people from the Microsoft Surface team and several representatives from Alaska Airlines to take part in the coding events on South Whidbey. “It’s really, really, really cool,” Gilbert said. “It’s big for us. It’s big for Whidbey Island.” Writing code dictates all the functions SEE CODE, A11
Snow days tax, but don’t ‘overwhelm’ first responders By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Heavy snowfall this past Saturday meant an onslaught of calls for South Whidbey Fire/EMS and necessitated reduced bus routes and late starts for South Whidbey School District students through mid-week. Mike Cotton, deputy chief for South Whidbey Fire/EMS,
said each of the district’s six stations responded to a slough of calls pertaining to accidents and hazards associated with the snowfall. He said most concerned downed power lines and fallen trees, but there were also several regarding car collisions or vehicles that had veered off the road, in addition to a marine call in Saratoga Passage and a few medical calls.
“I believe the number was 53 calls on Saturday. Saturday, that one day,” said Cotton, adding that during a normal week responders receive between 30-40 calls. The total number of calls for the week — Wednesday, Nov. 26 to Wednesday, Dec. 4 — was 96. SEE SNOW, A13

Real estate agencies sued for jet noise disclosures By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record A class action suit has been filed against Windermere Real Estate and RE/MAX Acorn Properties that alleges the companies did not properly disclose the dangers of jet noise to homebuyers. The lawsuit, filed Nov. 18 in Island County Superior Court, states that the Realtors’ “deceptive acts or practices have occurred in their trade or businesses and were and are capable of deceiving a substantial portion of the public.” Only two plaintiffs are identified by name, but the class action suit asks for injunctive relief for anyone who purchased real estate located in the county’s Airport Environs Mapped Impacted Areas on or after May 11, 1992. In response to criticism by residents about the standard real estate noise disclosure, Island County
Realtors updated their version of Form 22W in January through the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. The previous one-paragraph incarnation of the disclosure was deemed incomplete by Island County Planning Director David Wechner, who issued a memo that spurred the change. The Navy is transitioning to the Growler from the EA-6B Prowler and residents throughout the region claim the Growler is louder and more disruptive, igniting the noise disclosure debate. The plaintiffs named in the suit are Jonathan Deegan, who purchased his Coupeville home through RE/ MAX in 2006, and Alice O’Grady, who purchased her Coupeville home through Windermere in 2011, according to court documents. Neither could be reached for comment. The suit claims that both Deegan
and Grady received only the “inadequate Form 22W” at the time they purchased their homes. Seattle law firm Terrell, Marshall, Daudt & Willie filed the lawsuit and sent out a letter in May seeking possible plaintiffs. While only two people are named, the suit states that the class will be “in the hundreds or thousands.” “I have not seen the complaint yet, so I cannot comment on the specifics of this case, but I am aware that some off-island and out-of-state attorneys have been urging homeowners to sue Realtors, claiming they were not told about aircraft noise when they bought their homes,” said Eric Mitten, Windermere spokesperson, in an emailed statement Friday. “In our company, we make sure prospective buyers are aware of the airplane noise. We talk about the airplane noise. We also use standard written disclosure forms printed
by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, which provides us with the forms most Realtors use in residential real estate transactions in the state. “I’m astonished that anyone who has spent any time on Whidbey Island would say they were not aware of the noise.” A main contention of the litigation is that even though the noise disclosure has been updated to mirror county code, realtors are still not providing the county’s map of the impacted areas. The county’s Airport and Aircraft Operations Noise Disclosure Ordinance, which contains the required language, also states that the impacted areas are identified on the “attached map.” In a rough drawing, the county’s map shows all of Whidbey Island north of Lake Hancock as the “impacted areas.” It also includes
areas surrounding the Camano and South Whidbey air parks. Failure to include both the map and the language “about the magnitude and timing of military flight operations as part of pre-sale notices” in real estate transactions is “unfair” and “offends public policy,” the attorneys state. “As a direct and approximate result of defendants’ unfair acts or practices, plaintiffs and class members suffered injury in fact and lost money because they paid more for their real estate property on Whidbey Island than that property was worth and their property will sell for less when it is resold,” according to court documents. The lawyers are asking a judge to approve their class action status, damages, a modification of the disclosure forms, attorneys fees and any other relief deemed proper.
Bill approves five more Growlers bound for NAS Whidbey Island By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record The U.S. House of Representatives passed a national defense bill Thursday that approves funding five more EA-18G Growlers for the Navy, according to a Thursday news release from Rep. Rick Larsen. The $450 million earmark falls short of the Navy’s request earlier this year for 22 additional Growlers in the 2015 federal budget. However, the additional aircraft should allow the Navy to increase the size of its squadrons from five to seven, according to the United States Naval Institute. The bill must still pass through the U.S. Senate and then go to the president for signature. The electronic attack aircraft are based solely at Naval
Air Station Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor, although the aircraft is a close derivation of the Navy’s F/A-18F Super Hornet, according to Boeing. A squadron of five Growlers have been forward stationed at Atsugi Naval Air Facility in Japan since 2012 and another was recently deployed to Iran. The $577 billion defense bill was hashed out by both the House and Senate Armed Services committees. Passing this legislation before the end of the year is “vital,” according to the House Armed Services Committee Democrats summary, and “represents broad, bipartisan consensus about America’s national security goals, resources and policies.” The Navy is in the process of conducting an

Environmental Impact Study on the Growlers, which have drawn criticism from Whidbey Island residents over its noise levels. The EIS is examining four alternatives for squadron composition based on an increase of anywhere from 13 to 36 additional Growlers. It was unclear Friday how the legislation, if passed, will alter the EIS. Ted Brown, a public affairs officer for U.S. Fleet Forces Command, said he couldn’t speculate how the EIS might change until the legislation becomes law. “There’s still plenty of time to develop alternatives,”
Brown said. There are 82 Growlers actively flying at NAS Whidbey and 12 used as backup if an active plane is damaged, according to Larsen’s press release, but the Navy could station as many as 118 there in the future. “I want to be clear this does not mean NASWI will automatically house five more Growlers,” Larsen said. “The number of Growlers at NASWI will be determined by the ongoing Environmental Impact Study, which has provided multiple opportunities for public input.” The legislation also funds

A water main project in Freeland will result in service disruptions over a three-day period next week. Andy Campbell, Freeland Water and Sewer District manager, confirmed about 550 feet of old water main will be replaced on Freeland Avenue, Joanne Drive, Myrtle Avenue and Beauregard Drive. The work will take place Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and will result in water being shut off for up to eight hours per day. The project was planned for this past week, but snow and freezing temperatures resulted in the contractor rescheduling for this week, Campbell said. Replacing the water line has been planned for more than a decade. The existing galvanized line is “rotting away” and needs replacement, he said. The new line will be made of PVC and ductile iron. “It’s a capital improvement project that has been on the books for about 12 years,”

Judge declines to step down from hospital assault case Island County Prosecutor asked for the recusal By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Island County District Court Judge Bill Hawkins refused to recuse himself from a criminal case involving his wife’s boss, even though the prosecutor asked him to voluntarily step down. Hawkins explained that the prosecutor’s motion contained many factual errors about his wife’s employment. “I think a lot of this is much ado about nothing,” Hawkins said. Linda Gipson, chief nursing officer at Whidbey General Hospital, appeared in District Court with her attorney Monday afternoon for a hearing on the recusal request. Gipson is facing a charge of fourth-degree assault for allegedly choking or hurting a patient while she was in four-point restraints because
Linda Gipson of mental health issues. The incident was reported on May 13. The alleged victim, several nurses who witnessed the incident and Gipson offered differing accounts of what exactly occurred, according to court documents. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks, who attended Monday’s hearing, said that his office’s recusal request was unusual, but that the entire case has become unexpectedly complex. It’s a simple gross misdemeanor case, but apparently is going
to involve expert witnesses During a Sept. 30 hearing, and battles over subpoenas Hawkins explained that his wife worked under Gipson for hospital records. and that Deputy she first Prosecutor informed Jacqueline him of the Lawrence alleged filed a motion “I think a lot of this assault at last month is much ado about the hosrequesting nothing.” that Hawkins pital prior voluntarily the Bill Hawkins, to recuse himjudge filing of Island County District Court char ges, self because accordhis wife works at ing to the Whidbey motion General asking for Hospital. the judge to Lawrence said she recuse himself. made the request out of an At the time, Hawkins said abundance of caution and he didn’t know “if it would would have preferred that be appropriate” for him to Hawkins, the elected judge, hear the case as a trial judge, preside in the case if it according to the motion. wasn’t for the concern about Lawrence also wrote an appearance of fairness or that hospital officials’ statepartiality. ments published in the “There is no evidence of South Whidbey Record “have actual bias, nor is that the unequivocally established state’s concern,” she said. the hospital administration’s In her motion, Lawrence official position that the pointed out that it was defendant is ‘innocent.’ ” Hawkins himself who first brought up the concern about his wife’s employment.

Hospital CEO Tom Tomasino also attended Monday’s hearing. Gipson’s attorney, Andrew Schwarz of the Seattle firm Schwarz-Garrison, opposed Hawkins’ recusal, citing case law. He said a recusal is necessary only when there’s some evidence of actual bias, which nobody is proposing. Hawkins cited factual reasons, as opposed to legal arguments, for his decision not to step down. He explained that Lawrence’s assertion that his wife is part of the hospital administration is simply incorrect, as is the claim that Gipson presented her with an award last year. “They have never worked in close proximity and rarely have contact,” he said. Hawkins explained that his wife, a registered nurse, had been working on an infor mation-technology project at the hospital, but remained in the nurses’ union and is now back to working with patients.
Hawkins said he has never met Gipson nor any of the witnesses in the case. Hawkins conceded that he may have considered recusing himself if his wife worked in hospital administration, but that is not the case. Afterward, Banks said he was relieved that Hawkins’ wife isn’t in the hospital administration. He said Lawrence had to rely on information from witnesses, and what information she could find on the internet, to try to figure out what Hawkins’ wife does at the hospital. He pointed out that Hawkins made the disclosure about his wife and then “just left it hanging out there.” Banks said Lawrence emailed the District Court and asked for a telephonic conference with the judge and the defense to discuss the issue, but the request was rejected.

Editorial Many would love a “slap in the face” This week Island County elected officials got a 2 percent raise, but instead of expressing thanks they called it a “slap in the face.” Seriously? The economy is getting better, but not that much. To hear respected leaders such as Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks summarize his and other elected officials’ feelings about a pay hike in such a way is highly disappointing and borders on the offensive. County workers make a lot more money than the average worker on Whidbey Island and many of the latter won’t be receiving any cost of living increases for Christmas. The raise was the first elected officials in county government have received since 2009, and they were grumbling because it wasn’t commensurate to the total 6 percent increase county staff and department heads will have received since 2013 by Jan. 1 of next year. While the context of the comment was that the discrepancy was interpreted as a statement of worth by the commissioners, the message sent to the public was one of entitlement and disconnect with the people they serve. According to the Washington State Employment Security Department, the average rate of pay in Island County in 2013 was 26 percent below that of “local government” workers. The agency’s annual report showed that the average Joe made $34,672 or about $667 a week. That compares to an average of $47,118 or $906 a week earned by local government workers. That pattern held true for the first quarter of this year when the average pay was $672 per week compared to local government workers’ average of $894 per week. Summed up, county employees and elected officials bring home a lot more dough than the general public. Commissioner Jill Johnson was right in her response to the indignation of smarting elected officials when she said the board’s first priority was to constituents, then county staff and then elected officials. “I don’t disagree that the elected officials are long overdue for a salary increase, but it’s a choice to be in this occupation and it’s a privilege,” she said. Public servants who work hard do deserve to make a decent living and get raises, and their pay should be such that it is competitive and attracts other qualified candidates to the job. And the same should be true for every other hard-working Whidbey Islander, but that’s just not always the case. Whining about only getting a 2 percent raise is akin to complaining about a free slice of pie, especially to a general public who enjoys a lesser quality of life than you. Elected officials would do well to remember there’s a whole lot of people in Island County who would line up for a “slap in the face” next year.

MARK
A funicular for Langley — an idea whose time has come
Eric Levine
By ERIC LEVINE I was pleased to read of Mayor Fred McCarthy’s continuing efforts to make the funicular a reality that would boost activity and business for both the expanded marina and downtown Langley. Regarding the article on the council meeting of this past Monday, I’m concerned that
too often the opponents, few but very vocal — who may not have all the facts — can feed into the perception that they represent a higher percentage of the population than they do in reality. Although not quoted, I spoke in favor of the project that night and have talked to many in the city, not only in favor but enthusiastically so. Having done research on the funicular concept some years earlier, updating it after concern was expressed about the viewscape, and initiating what turned out to be an encouraging discussion with the mayor, I composed a summary of answers to many of the earlier and now more recent questions about the project. The funicular/incline railway can be built to preserve the entire viewscape. Connections would be at the top and bottom only with the rails and any other part
of the undercarriage situated in the air above the bluff. Virtually all the groundcover underneath the rails would be preserved. The model being considered complies with all Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. It would be a permanent and constant solution for most people designated orthopedically “disabled” or otherwise unable to get up and down, to and from the marina unassisted. Previous estimates were significantly higher than the grant allocation of $500,000. After contacting several companies, I called the Hill Hiker Corporation, and after supplying them with a few basic measurements and parameters, was pleasantly surprised to learn their preliminary estimate was within the grant limit. Repair
and maintenance would be included. Locals (provided they win a competitive bidding process) could be hired to do a majority of the construction work. In a previous article Port Commissioner Ed Halloran stated that the car needed to accept the type of wheeled cart (plus one or two persons) that boaters use for gear and provisions. The model proposed would do just that or take eight to 10 people per trip. What may well be the least talked about, but most beneficial aspect of this project is the funicular/incline railway as an attraction in and of itself. The sea and mountains provide riders a breathtaking panorama that changes dramatically as they rise to the crest of the bluff. I envision it to be an icon for
the city and a great source of civic pride. Dubuque, Iowa’s funicular (a proven and popular attraction for that town) has been called “the world’s shortest, steepest scenic railway.” Langley could actually take over this claim! According to the Langley Planning Department website, both further marina expansion and increased tour-boat operations are symbiotically connected with the construction of this transportation link. All three can build on each other to make it a win-win for the city, the port, downtown merchants and the Langley residential community. Levine is a Langley resident, retired teacher and counselor.

derful and obviously a great asset to the department. These amazing men and women are out there taking care of business. Think about Puget Sound Energy restoring our power while we sit home and complain. I certainly did not think that I would be in a situation such as it was, but I now know how blessed we are to have these dedicated folks all around us.

Two girls leave game with ankle injuries in opening loss to Wolves
Collins’ 30 points lifts Falcons
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
Mike Washington’s first game as the Falcon boys basketball head coach went about as well as he could have hoped for — a solid 74-47 thumping of the Coupeville Wolves. It was a game that went to script for Washington, who previously coached the Oak Harbor Wildcats. Senior standout Parker Collins was near perfect, finishing with 30 points, and was actually perfect on 12-of-12 free throws. Freshman point guard Lewis Pope recorded 12 points and limited his turnovers. South Whidbey held a double digit lead by the halftime break that it never lost en route to a rivalry rout. “To win by 25, whatever we did, you’d think I’d be a bit more happy,” Washington said. “But we can do better.” Coupeville held its island rival in check on South Whidbey’s own court through the first quarter, trailing 14-13. Pope opened the second quarter by following up a missed jumper with a rebound and a layup, his first points as a Falcon. “Once that went in, it got me a little more confident,” Pope said. Earlier in the game, Pope took an open threepointer that rimmed out. Backpedaling on defense, Washington urged Pope on to take those shots. “I was really happy for Lewis,” Washington said. “He told me before the game that he was nervous, and I told him, ‘Hey bro. I’m nervous too.’ ”
A 47-23 loss cost South Whidbey’s girls basketball team more than its season opener and a shot at a perfect record Monday night. The Falcons lost two players, one a starter and one a key reserve, to ankle injuries when facing off against island rivals, the Coupeville Wolves. Sophomore Kacie Hanson left the game midway through the third quarter after hustling to block Wolves senior Kacie Kiel on a breakaway layup attempt. Hanson came down on her ankle, collapsed and was cradling her ankle before being helped off the court by the trainer and Falcon senior Kristen Schuster. Eight minutes later, midway through the fourth quarter, Falcon junior Marina Alber injured her ankle. After driving to the hoop for a layup attempt, she landed awkwardly and immediately clutched at her right ankle before being carried off the court. Hanson, a starter, had not scored a point before being injured. Alber, however, had provided a bit of a spark off the bench as Hanson’s replacement. The junior made several drives to the basket which yielded a few free throw attempts and three points before her injury sent her out early. Coupeville controlled

The Wolves relied on junior Makana Stone’s prowess around the hoop to lead all scorers with 17 points. Senior Julia Myers chipped in eight points. South Whidbey had no answer for Stone’s rebounding and scoring. Coupeville took the lead on a Myers jump shot from the baseline to go up 4-2 and never looked back. By halftime, the Wolves led 23-10 and the Falcons never came within 10 points of the lead. The third quarter was

an offensive explosion for Coupeville, which scored 17 points while holding South Whidbey to four. Stone scored nine of those points, including a layup plus a foul shot near the end of the period. South Whidbey never scored double digits in any quarter, though the final eight minutes were the most productive for the Falcons with nine points. Only one basket was made, a short jump shot by Alber, and the rest of the points came on free throws. The Falcons attempted 23 free throws and made 11. Sophomore Kinsey Eager led South Whidbey with six points on a layup and four-of-six free throws.

Parker Collins leaps for a layup against Coupeville on Monday, Dec. 1. The Falcon senior scored 30 points. The Wolves took a lead on a layup by junior Wiley Hesselgrave, which was promptly extended on an Aaron Curtin three-pointer. Trailing 24-19, the Falcons scrapped back into the game on baskets from junior Ricky Muzzy, who also got a steal that led to a reverse layup by Collins and a layup by senior Beau Blakey. Defensively, Blakey sparked the Falcons’ charge to take the lead on a block and steal that led to another Collins layup and the Falcons’ go-ahead score. “Putting Beau Blakey in there turned the table a little bit because he’s feisty, he gets after it,” Washington said. From there, South Whidbey closed out the first half on an 11-0 run for a 39-26 lead. The Falcons’ mix of Collins’ shooting and near-the-basket
spin moves, Pope’s passing and driving and Muzzy barreling into the paint for layups carried them the rest of the way. Coupeville’s Curtin led the Wolves with 15 points, and no other Wolf reached double digits. Both Hesselgrave and senior Joel Walstad scored seven points. Fouls plagued the Central Whidbey team. Three Wolves starters fouled out of the game — Hesselgrave, Walstad and senior Aaron Trumbull. What was a bane for the Wolves was a boon for the Falcons. South Whidbey made 29 of its 37 free-throw attempts, including the perfect 12-for-12 by Collins. Muzzy hit 7-of-10, and Blakey made 5-of-7. “[There’s] nothing better,” Muzzy said. “It felt awesome.”

Robert Wheeler Jr.
Robert “Bob” Wheeler Jr.
Bob was born in Hayward, Calif.. on May 19, 1947. His family moved to Dallas when he was a child. An avid baseball player, Bob was part of a winning team at Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas, 196365, where he was named AllCity center fielder for three consecutive years. Following high school, he spent time playing in a minor league team until an injury dashed his dreams of a professional
career. His teammates and coaches remember him for his special ability to steal bases, in particular home base. Bob studied business at Kilgore College and in later years, moved back to Dallas, where, in 1982, he met and married the love of his life, Teresa Murphy. After years in Dallas, which included work in real estate and a year of theological studies, Bob and Teresa moved to Langley following a visit to Teresa’s sister, Martha Murphy. Within a year of making the move, they welcomed their precious daughter, Natalie, born on Christmas Day 1990 during a rare snow storm. Bob was a real estate agent and always loved helping people find their dream homes. He was also a Langley volunteer firefighter and owner of Wheeler Galleries in Langley. He loved playing tennis and also fishing. Bob was a masterful networker and enjoyed connecting “like-minded” people. He was active in many churches, and his faith was the center of his life.
In September 2013, he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and given six months to live. Despite the diagnosis, he chose an alternative path of treatment that focused on diet and supplements to boost his immune system. Together, Bob and Teresa worked with their naturopathic physician and Bob was able to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle for the year that followed. He fought a courageous battle and was at peace at the time of his death on Nov. 27 at home in Langley with his wife and daughter at his side. The family wishes to thank Friends of Friends, Island Home Nursing, Hospice of the NW, Island County Senior Services, Good Cheer Food Bank, SWSD, Trinity Lutheran Church, Calvary Chapel and caregivers Lori Erikson, Michaela Mattens, Donna Selig, Lenna Rose and Erin Simms for their loving care and support in recent months. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Wheeler Sr. and Esther Klein Wheeler (Ft. Worth, Texas). He is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Teresa Murphy Wheeler,

and daughters Natalie Wheeler (Langley) and Ashley Wheeler Bowen and her son, Ethan Merkel (Longview, Texas); brother Russell Wheeler (Ft. Worth) and sister Mary Wheeler (Bellingham, Wash.). Bob is also survived by his five “Murphy” sisters-in-law, Suzanne (Garland, Texas), Martha (Langley), Jeanne (Tyler, Texas), Mary Jane (Jackson, Wyo.) and Joany (Austin, Texas) and the many nieces and nephews, all of whom have been a part of his life. A memorial service is being planned for early January. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Robert Wheeler donation fund at Wells Fargo Bank or the Good Cheer Food Bank.

WAIF launches online dog licensing service People who live in rural areas of Island County can now license their dogs online with Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation. “We are very happy to partner with Pawzii, our online service provider, to deliver this additional service to Island County pet owners on Whidbey Island for their convenience,” said WAIF Executive Director Charles Vreeland, in a recent news release. In-person license renewals will remain available through WAIF, along with most area veterinarians, and at county offices. The new option only applies to residents who live outside the city limits of Oak Harbor, Coupeville, and Langley. The license cost is $10 for altered dogs, and $33 for unaltered dogs. In addition to the license cost, a administrative fee
of $4 is added for the convenience of ordering dog licenses online through Pawzii, with USPS mail delivery provided by WAIF. The license fee goes to the county to help subsidize animal control services. All dog owners who live outside Whidbey cities and town are required to have current license tags for their dogs, as licenses expire at the end of the year. This additional avenue of getting a dog licensed makes it easy and convenient for island residents to get into compliance, the news release said. Licensing, tagging, and/or microchipping your pet increases the chances that it will be located if it ever becomes lost, and is encouraged by WAIF. To license a dog online, visit www.waif animals.org/license.

Whidbey Children’s Theater presents “The Diary of Anne Frank” By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record On Monday, 6 July, 1942 13-year-old Anne Frank and her family were forced to leave their home and the outside world behind. The family had already fled Germany after the Nazis took control of their home country. Now, the regime had taken over The Netherlands and the family lived in a state of repression and fear. Anne, her sister, mother and father walked several kilometers — Jewish people were not allowed to use public transportation in Nazi-occupied countries — and went into hiding in a cramped secret annex where they would remain until their capture on Aug. 4, 1944. Eventually, the family also shared the space with Hermann van Pels, his wife and son Peter and Fritz Pfeffer, also known as Mr. Dussel. During their time in hiding, Anne kept a detailed diary which she had received as a gift on her 13th birthday. The diary, published posthumously by her father, the only surviving member of the group, has become an important part of history and has aided in the understanding of The Holocaust. On Dec. 11, Whidbey Children’s Theater will debut its second production of the season with “The Diary of Anne Frank,” the stage adaptation of the young woman’s famous diary. Director Michael Morgen noted that the play is a change from the theater’s usual light fare. “It’s a very up-close piece of theater,” he said, adding that honoring those impacted by the Holocaust is a large part of his directorial duty. Prior to rehearsal, the actors participated in an acting intensive session in which members of the community such as Cait Cassee, Whidbey Children’s Theater executive director and actor and director David Mayer shared their respective families’ stories. Cassee presented photos and tales passed down from her family members who, living in Holland, hid Jewish people during the war. Mayer’s relative had escaped Germany just prior to the beginning of World War II.

Meadow Holtby, Chloe Hood, Hannah Mack, Skye Maguire and Chloe Rose Dickerson pose for a photo during a rehearsal for “The Diary of Anne Frank” on Wednesday afternoon. “We have a sense of how close all of this is to people who are important to us,” said Morgen. “That adds a lot of weight and perspective.” “This is pertinent to things that are happening in the world today,” he said. “It is important for today’s teenagers and everyone else to remember that this wasn’t that long ago; and it is happening now in different ways.” Ben Germano, who is playing Anne’s father Otto, said that the play is an emotional story of hope and the human condition. Despite being confined and cramped, those hiding in the annex supported one another and accepted the atrocious situation as best they could. “I hope people come not to just see a show but to learn something about humanity,” he said. Chloe Hood, who is playing Anne Frank, concurred with Germano and Morgen that she feels it is essential to continue sharing the story. “I think it is amazing how cheerful Anne is with the circumstances,” said Hood, adding that she hopes the
family members who survived the Holocaust. “In the scene at the end, Anne says, ‘Despite everything, everyone is really good at heart.’ That is kind of the important line that drives it home,” said Holtby. “That is the essence of her and everyone else. That is why the diary is famous; she stays cheerful throughout this atrocity that she lived through and died because of.”

Chloe Hood, as Anne, and Chloe Rose Dickerson, as Peter, rehearse a scene. play will provide audiences with an intimate and educational interpretation of the diary’s contents. “I think the diary of Anne Frank is especially important because she is such a human character, she is so real and so it gives people an intimate view of what happened.” Though Hood said there is no way she could know
everything about Anne, she has inferred that the young girl was sassy, thoughtful and strong. “She has two sides of her. She is both entertaining and likes to show off sometimes,” said Hood. “But she also thinks a lot about life and she knows what she wants. She is very strong.” Hannah Mack, who is
playing Mr. Dussel, concurred with some of the other actors that, due to her close proximity in age with Anne, the story seemed somewhat relatable despite the drastically different life experiences, time period and situations. Meadow Holtby, who is playing Anne’s mother, said her Jewish mother also had

of any computerized device, from a microwave to a smart phone. On Thursday, Haley demonstrated some of the online tutorials that show how coding works via an Angry Birds scenario that required moving blocks of code that read “move forward,” “turn left” or “turn right.” “It doesn’t take a genius,” Haley said. “Anyone can do it.” Coding could become a mundane activity. The guys at Whidbey Makers pointed to their 3D printers, which can rely on taking code to create well-known objects, such as iPhone cases or bracelets, and modifying them with a user’s own code. “What computers did for people, industry, everything, coding is the next step,” Gilbert said.
Several events are taking place Wednesday, Dec. 10 on South Whidbey as part of the international learning event known as Hour of Code. Anyone interested in participating is encouraged to bring a laptop, tablet or smart phone. 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Hour of Code at Whidbey Makers in Ken’s Korner, Clinton. 1:30 to 3 p.m. Women in STEM and hackathon at Whidbey Makers, Clinton. 3:30 to 5 p.m. Hour of Code at Freeland Library. 6 to 8 p.m. Hour of Code and hackathon at Whidbey Makers, Clinton.

Some computers will be available, but not nearly enough at Whidbey Makers or the Freeland Library, where Hour of Code events are planned. Gilbert encouraged people to bring their own computers to take part in the coding, but also noted that during segments where there won’t be hands on keyboards, other lessons will occur about 3D printing. “Bring your ideas and willingness to participate,” Gilbert said. “No one will be twiddling their thumbs.” Several events are taking place Wednesday, Dec. 10 on South Whidbey as part of the international learning event known as Hour of Code. The day is a half day for South Whidbey School District students, and everything being offered is free. Anyone interested in participating is encouraged to bring a laptop, tablet or smart phone.

Justin Burnett / The Record
South Whidbey Fire/EMS was quite busy this week responding to weather-related calls, including a marine rescue in Saratoga Passage.
SNOW CONTINUED FROM A1
“Just north of Greenbank, there was nothing,” he said of the snow and ice. “It was all down here.” Cotton noted that, while he wouldn’t say the department was overwhelmed, “We definitely had our hands full.” Each of the district’s four chiefs and all of the troops were on the job and, of the organization’s 50 to 60 volunteers, Cotton estimated that approximately 30 to 40 were called in. Due to the holiday, he said, several others were
out of town or unavailable. South Whidbey Fire/EMS has procedures in place in case of extreme weather such as wind or snow storms, although Cotton said Saturday’s snowfall wasn’t enough to warrant their implementation. The Island County Department of Emergency Management opened a temporary emergency operations center to help manage the weather incident. Cotton said South Whidbey Fire/EMS heard from the center, Puget Sound Energy, sheriff’s office and the Island County Public Works Roads department. When Fire/EMS was
called to respond to certain incidents such as fallen trees, they tapped the help of county road workers for assistance. Cotton said Thursday morning that although most
of the snow was melted, some roads were still icy, especially those that don’t receive much sunlight or traffic. While roads should be OK by the weekend, it’s a reminder that motorists need to take care driving for several days following a winter snowfall. Hills, he said, can be particularly hazardous, such as Langley, Saratoga and parts of Maxwelton roads. On Wednesday evening around 5 p.m., Cotton said responders were called to a collision on Brooks Hill Road. “Take it slow. If you don’t have to go out, don’t. Plan your route … take a safer path,” he said. The inclement weather seemed to have little impact on the South Whidbey School District other than 2-hour late starts Monday through Wednesday. Dan Poolman, school district transportation supervisor, said school buses were

required to drive reduced routes, staying on main roads and avoiding hills and neighborhoods on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Students who live on inaccessible streets are asked to walk to the edge of the street to catch the bus. For example, those on Goss Lake Road had to walk to Andreason or East Harbor roads. There were no reported issues of buses veering off the road or getting stuck. Poolman also clarified that
the late start days don’t count as a lost day, meaning students will not need to make up the hours with an additional year-end school day. Superintendent Jo Moccia said that schedules were compressed, meaning shorter classes for students, during late start days. Moccia added that, given the fact these late start days are rare, the impact on students and teachers was minimal.

CANCER
There is a lot of action on the horizon. You may be sorely tempted to buy something quite expensive. Your Christmas gifts are likely to exceed the budget that you had set for yourself.
LEO
You take some time to reflect deeply. Moreover, it would not be surprising if you feel the need to cultivate a spirituality that is more in accordance with your beliefs.
VIRGO
If you need to be in close contact with a lot of people, don’t forget to wash your hands frequently so you won’t catch any germs. Your immune system is rather fragile.
LIBRA
Time is a scarce commodity and so you have to choose carefully between obligation and pleasure. The important thing is to bring more balance into the different areas of your life.
SCORPIO
Travel plans are taking shape on the horizon. Even though your departure is only in a few months, you begin to prepare. Perhaps you need to renew your passport?
SAGITTARIUS
Some small annoyances are to be expected. You can no longer ignore all the things you’ve put off doing. You feel like celebrating once these jobs are completed.
CAPRICORN
It wouldn’t be surprising if you are able to clinch a contract that will transform your life. Your perseverance allows you to attain great heights, even on a personal level.
AQUARIUS
There is loads of work and lots of details that take forever to settle. Having a break would be beneficial for you. All you need to do is take some time to appreciate the present moment.
PISCES
You find yourself in the spotlight. You’re probably the only person able to accomplish a particular task, and you’ll be entitled to all the gratitude that is offered to you.
