South End gets gift of more accurate weather readings
Kate Daniel / The Record
The osprey nest perched atop a light pole at Waterman’s Field at South Whidbey High School will be moved.
Groups work to move osprey nest at football field to new location By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record A couple of ospreys will be returning from their southern migration to a brand new nest location come springtime. The nest is presently located atop a 100-foot light pole on the South Whidbey High School football field. The South Whidbey School District, Puget Sound Energy, Whidbey Audubon Society and Osprey Solutions are working together to relocate the nest to a more favorable location. Brian Miller, director of facilities for the school district, presented the issue to Osprey Solutions, a Seattlebased environmental consulting firm, which suggested the implementation of a nest platform and new post. The company has successfully provided similar
nest solutions for numerous communities including Portland, Ore., Seattle, Spokane and Bellevue, and is headed by raptor biologist Jim Kaiser. In its current place, the nest is potentially hazardous to both humans and birds, Miller said. Droppings of twigs and bird feces from the nest present a potential hazard to passersby while the structural integrity of the pole is compromised by the size and weight of the nest, according to Miller. The heat of the field lights could ignite the nest and injure or kill the osprey, a federally protected raptor species. According to Osprey Solutions, the average diameter of an osprey nest is 41 inches, and the nests SEE OSPREY, A9

Molly, Anna and John Petersons are hosting a new Washington State University weather station in Langley.
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The sheep on John and Molly Petersons’ farm trot along the small apple and pear orchard, completely unaware of how the ground temperature and moisture may affect their next meal. John and Molly Petersons know exactly the importance of accurate and reliable weather readings. That’s why when the Washington State University Island County Extension called about using some of their 5-acre property to install a new station as part of WSU AgWeatherNet, they were happy to host the device that looks like it belongs more on the USS Enterprise than on a farm.
“It does look like it just landed,” said Molly Petersons. The Langley station is the first of its kind on South Whidbey, and only the third on the entire island. One weather station owned by the Navy is at NAS Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor, and one WSU station is on Ebey’s Prairie in Coupeville. As South Whidbey residents have long known, the weather differs drastically along the 40-mile island. “We all know the weather on South Whidbey can be complex,” said Barbara Bennett, Island County Extension program coordinator. “We also know that stormwater runoff issues, personal maintenance of property … all of that will benefit from more accurate information.” SEE WEATHER, A9
Well-traveled planner hired by Langley Arts, public input top priorities for new planning director By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Langley has hired a new director of Community Planning for Langley with 25 years of public and private planning experience.
Mayor Fred McCarthy announced that Michael Davolio, a career planner with more than two decades of experience on both coasts and the Middle East, accepted the city’s offer Dec. 20. For Davolio, the Dec. 19 call from McCarthy was a most welcome early Christmas gift. “I couldn’t be happier,” Davolio said in a telephone interview Monday. His first day will be Jan. 5, 2015 for the Langley City Council meeting, though it will not be his first time
at such a meeting. Davolio attended the Dec. 15 city council meeting to observe how the city operated, and liked what he saw. “That was my way of interviewing the city, to see if that was a place I wanted to be,” Davolio said. “I was so impressed with the quality of discourse. Even the people who disagreed with the city were treated SEE PLANNER, A5

In tune with the holiday spirit, Chris, Denisia and Tori Halligan returned to their hometown of Langley to make a generous donation to the South Whidbey Commons in honor of their parents, Marcia and Pat Halligan. At left, they pose for a photo alongside Sue Haworth and Cathy Rooks of the South Whidbey Commons board of directors. The South Whidbey Commons, located at 124 Second Street Langley, is a non-profit organization which aims to provide a community gathering place in the form of a coffeehouse bookstore and workplace training program. Originally a workplace training program for youth, established under the umbrella organization Youth Connection, the South Whidbey Commons training program was restructured in 2010 and now includes adult volunteers who receive training and mentor students. The coffeehouse bookstore relies upon donations and sales of beverages and used books in order to operate.
Animal Hospital by the Sea to match all donations through end of 2014 The Animal Hospital by the Sea in Langley will match donations up to $5,000 for pet patients in need this holiday season. The fundraising campaign begins today and goes through the end of the year. According to a statement from the Animal Hospital by the Sea, staff at the veterinary clinic were inspired by a few recent acts of kindness. Someone took in and cared for an injured elderly beagle that was found running across one of South Whidbey’s main roads on a recent rainy evening. Due to the cooperation of community members and Animal Hospital by the Sea’s Facebook post, which reached over 8,600 people, the dog was reunited with her owners the next day. On Sunday, Dec. 21, the veterinary clinic received a Secret Santa message from an anony-
mous donor who had dropped off funds to be used to help a deserving patient of the clinic’s choice. The Animal Hospital by the Sea wrote in the release that they are “so touched by this spontaneous generosity” that they have decided to match all similar “Angel Fund” donations from today through Dec. 31. Funds will either be used for an animal of the clinic’s choice, or may be allocated to a specific pet specified by the donor. For more information, call the Animal Hospital by the Sea at 360-3318090 or visit animalhospitalbythesea.com. The clinic is located at 114 Second Street, Langley.

Punk band Potbelly celebrates 20 years By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Jason “Potbelly” Rodger has been rocking out for what seems like forever. A long-time supporter of the punk rock and metal scene, Rodger’s island-grown band Potbelly is celebrating 20 years. “It’s been a roller coaster ride,” Rodger said. Formed in January 1995, the band has seen members come and go, sometimes dealing with drug abuse, family issues, or legal problems, but has nevertheless survived. Characterizing the band as “punk rock fusion,” Rodger said Potbelly is influenced by a surprisingly broad range of music styles from Devo to Frank Sinatra to Slayer. “We have elements of all kinds of music wrapped up in our style,” Rodger said. The band’s original members are Rodger, the singer, and bassist Ken Ball, along with newer members singer Cory “Worthless” Hansen, drummer Jeff Thayeer, and guitar players Chris Solis and Christen Ogden “the Magnificent.” All nicknames are the product of random occurrences and old-fashioned razzing that comes along with playing a long time together. “We now have mortgages and kids, but it doesn’t keep us from doing what we do,” Rodger said. David Portnow, a Seattle “behind the scenes legend” according to Rodger, signed the band seven years ago to his label PIG Records. He
just re-signed them for another five years and recently bought their entire back catalogue. “This is a very historic band,” Portnow said. Portnow said the prolific band has averaged about four albums a year for the last 20 years and sells much of their music in Indonesia. Rodger was a founding member of the Whidbey Island Pyrate Punx, an organization that supports touring bands internationally. There’s a group of a dozen or so locals who are committed to volunteering their time and homes to host bands, Rodger said. As a result of their involvement with the Pyrate Punx network, the band has in turn been able to tour in areas that would have been cost prohibitive. Potbelly and the Pyrate Punx are also very supportive of other local bands like Alcojuana, Solis’ band. “They rock,” Rodger said. Besides playing house parties on and off island, a main venue for Potbelly and the punk scene has been Oak Harbor Tavern on Pioneer Way. “They’ve played regularly here for at least 15 years,” said long-time tavern staffer Steve Despopoulos. “Besides just bringing in area bands, they’ve brought into this little town a lot of musical talent. It’s all through their love and dedication to the punk music scene.” Longtime friend and former Oak Harbor Tavern bartender Justin Doyle arranged

“We didn’t have music at all, once we got them in here
mainly compilation albums of music from punk to metal, ska to hard folk. “If I like it, I’ll help with it anyway I can,” Rodger said. But, he said, “punk rock is more my forte.” Today, the band has 98 releases under its belt and has performed more than 1,000 shows from the West Coast to the Midwest. Their music can be purchased at Joe’s Island Music in Langley and online at www.interpunk. com. Their newest album “EST. 95” is coming out in late February.
it was great,” Doyle said. “The crowd of people they bring are totally different than they expected. It’s the greatest group of guys I’ve ever really met, to tell you the truth.” Rodger said one proud moment was when they played the Island County Fair in 2006. The fair saw record attendance and “the hall was packed,” he said. The band was also featured in the 2007 documentary “NWPunkrock: 30 Plus Years of Punk in the Northwest.” In that time, Rodger has created his own record label, PB Records, producing

with dignity.” He replaces the city’s former planning director, Jeff Arango, who left for a position with BERK Consulting in Seattle after three and a half years in the Village by the Sea. Langley received 17 applications for the job, which will pay Davolio a $71,459 salary plus at least $30,000 in benefits. A sevenmember screening committee that included Langley Public Works Director Stan Berryman and Councilman Jim Sundberg, along with other residents and business leaders, whittled the list to three finalists. Interviews were conducted last week and originally the group could not come to a consensus, but the mayor and committee selected Davolio as their top choice. “We had three good candidates, excellent people,” McCarthy said. “He was, of the people who applied, the very best person we thought for the job,” the mayor added.
Michael Davolio Davolio comes to Langley after spending the past six years criss-crossing the country. He leaves as a principal at CREA Affiliates in Seattle. His most recent city planning job was with Pawtucket, R.I., between May 2011 and July 2012, during which time he managed the city’s office as well as headed up the Pawtucket Redevelopment Agency to attract new businesses to the city, and oversaw a fourweek arts festival. Arts and commerce were his two main interests, and both attracted him to Langley. He visited the city earlier this year during

were good covers to hide the emptiness, but that in Pawtucket he facilitated storefront vacancies being used as walk-by galleries. “It makes the place more attractive, it makes the vacant storefront more attractive to store owners.” For the past month, Langley’s planning services have been managed by Jack Lynch, a former city planning director. McCarthy said he hopes to keep Lynch on concurrently to assist with the transition at least through January. When Davolio begins, he faces a mountain of work. The mayor listed more than 30 items of major interest for the city in 2015. At the forefront of the list are the conveyance of people and
gear between the marina of South Whidbey Harbor and available parking on Cascade Avenue, and working with the Dog House Tavern owners toward renovation and reopening of the historic building. Exactly when Davolio will be expected to take on the major projects was not known. “I think we have to be realistic and give him time to learn our system and meet our people,” McCarthy said. “I have every expectation that he will be the right person,” he added. One of the more productive programs rebooted by Arango was the city’s use of interns this year, which the mayor said he hopes

Editorial Make transparency, openness a priority If you work for the government, the people are ultimately your boss. It’s a cliche, to be sure. It’s ungrammatical and oversimplified. It’s also an idea vital to our democracy but sometimes forgotten by our leaders. In the new year, those fortunate enough to work for the government, particularly those in leadership positions, should make a resolution to be as open, honest and transparent as possible. That means handing over documents to people who ask for them without putting anyone through a rigmarole. Sure, there are documents that obviously shouldn’t be released, but agencies are supposed to lean toward openness when there’s any doubt. Or better yet, posting papers with public interest online is an easy way to avoid time-consuming requests. In addition, agencies should welcome public involvement in the decision-making process. Not only should public meetings be advertised as required by law, but elected officials should work to ensure that agendas are full and detailed and that meetings are held when normal people can actually attend. Locally, the publicly-funded Whidbey General Hospital and Island Transit have been the veritable poster children for government opacity. Hospital commissioners moved their monthly meetings to 7 a.m. on a Monday. They fired the guy who taped the meetings. The agendas are the bare minimum. When a hospital administrator was accused of assaulting a patient, the hospital investigated the allegations through a “quality assurance committee” whose purpose is supposed to be to ensure the proper delivery of services and improvement of care. After the hospital resisted a prosecutor’s subpoena for the committee’s report, a judge suggested that the quality assurance process — instead of a straightforward disciplinary investigation — was the hospital’s attempt to do an end run around the state’s Public Records Act. At Island Transit, on the other hand, the lack of openness didn’t seem to be willful for the most part, but just became normalized over the years. Officials, for example, stopped posting agenda and budget information online. When financial problems came to light, the director and board’s initial reaction was to minimize the problems instead of going public and engaging the community. Imagine if an employee at a private company sought to ignore the boss or even try to keep information from him or her. Someone would be fired.

That’s billion. With a B.
New Navy Growlers’ cost sorely underestimated Editor, The South Whidbey Record article, “Navy’s purchase of new Growlers...” published on Dec, 17 states, “...the number of total Growlers purchased by Congress would increase from 135 to 150, costing an additional $1.46 million.” That dollar amount appears to be very off the mark. According to Barr Group Aerospace (dba AeroWeb) “In FY 2014, the unit cost of an EA-18G is $76.98 million (flyaway cost). The airframe costs $46.14 million, the two F414-GE-400 engines cost $8.64 million ($4.32 million each), the avionics package costs $17.44 million, with other costs making up the remaining $4.76 million.” http://www.bga-aeroweb.com/ Defense/EA-18G-Growler.html At that rate, an increase in Growlers from 135 to 150 will have a total cost of $1,154,700,000.

Langley’s rising funicular would lift all boats Editor, One of the questions asked about the proposed Langley funicular in a letter to the editor of 12/13 was “who will benefit (economically)?” First, according to the city website, tour boat operators have indicated that a better conveyance up the bluff is “necessary for them to provide service.” So at present the regular Victoria Clipper visits go to Coupeville. Langley, with far more shops, restaurants, bars, galleries, movie theater, playhouse, and walkable grocery, would appear to be a much more desirable destination. Imagine Langley getting oneday Clipper visits regularly and also more B&B packages wherein visitors can stay multiple nights and catch the Clipper again on a subsequent run.

appears to be the closest comparable to Langley. Owners called, reporting that up to 50 percent of their revenue is from the hundreds of people a day who come to ride their funicular as an amusement. Its primary attraction is the view from the top. Given a Langley funicular’s additional attributes — a more practical transportation function for both marina and downtown destinations, as well as its magnificent panoramic view of Puget Sound and the Cascades — and considering only a very small number of cities in the United States even have public funiculars, one can easily visualize what an icon Langley’s funicular could become! “The shortest, steepest scenic railway in the world” (Dubuque) would have a new titleholder. That being said, for the Langley funicular to be “an attraction in and of itself” it must have a wide unobstructed view along the full length of its dramatic rise from the bottom to the crest of the bluff.

Dept. of Health urges people to get flu vaccine The Washington State Department of Health issued a recommendation for everyone ages 6 months and older to receive a flu vaccine. Along with the onset of winter weather and holiday gatherings comes an increased opportunity for flu and other viruses to spread, according to a recent press release. The release states that flu activity is increasing in Washington and is expected to continue to be on the rise in coming weeks. Flu season typically peaks in winter months when people spend more time indoors, the release states. Thus far this season, H3N2 flu viruses have been the most common type circulating nationwide. According to the release, more than half of those viruses have changed slightly from the strain that is included in this year’s flu vaccine. Seasons when H3N2 viruses are most common tend to be more severe with higher rates of hospitalization and death. According to the release, the flu vaccine offers protection against
the well-matched strains and may also provide protection against the “drifted strain.” “We are still recommending that everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated this season,” said State Health Officer Dr. Kathy Lofy in the press release. “Even if the vaccine may only provide partial protection against one flu virus, it can protect you against the other types.” The release states that it is especially important for “people at higher risk for flu-related complications” to receive a vaccination. High risk groups include young children, pregnant women, people 65 and older, and people with certain chronic medical conditions. People in high-risk groups who get the flu may develop severe complications such as pneumonia, which can lead to hospitalization and death. The Health Department
recommends those who are at high-risk for developing such complications contact a doctor or clinic immediately upon experiencing flu-like symptoms. According to the release, antiviral medications help, but must be prescribed by a doctor and are most effective when taken within 48 hours of the onset of the flu. It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to fully protect against flu, according to the release. Some children under nine may need two doses of flu vaccine. The release states that there are multiple locations from which flu vaccines may be obtained including health care providers, pharmacies and, in some cases, employers. The Department of Health’s online vaccine finder is useful in locating a vaccine dispensary near you. Those interested may also call the local

health department or find a clinic by calling the Family Health Hotline at 1-800-322-2588. The state health department buys all recommended childhood vaccines, including flu vaccine, for kids through age 18. Although the vaccine is provided at no cost, health care providers may charge for the office visit or include a fee to give the vaccine. The health care provider may waive the fee if you ask.

potential to draw people from far and wide generating more revenue downtown, increased sales tax, and more marina expansion; benefiting not only the city but all of South Whidbey. This project takes the kind of vision and leadership it seems the mayor and council are ready to bring to the task.

Saturday, December 27, 2014 • The South Whidbey Record
Wildcats lean on steals to claw out of early hole The first quarter belonged to the South Whidbey girls basketball team against Archbishop Murphy on Friday. Playing in a Cascade Conference game, the Falcons held a 12-6 lead through the first period, only to watch it slip away in the second quarter to a 20-18 deficit and eventually a 57-42 loss. South Whidbey (2-2 conference, 2-4 overall) went with a fast offense to open the game, resulting in the quick lead. But Archbishop Murphy’s defense found its footing and was able to force several turnovers from South Whidbey, resulting in eight points in the final four minutes of the first half. Wildcat junior Megan Wall led all scorers with 19 points and sparked the visiting team’s offense. Wall had several transition layups and steals, including the final basket of the first half. The Wildcats smothered the Falcons out of halftime, holding them to six points while pouring in 13 to take a

Drake each scored 10 points to lead South Whidbey.

Falcon boys look to reset Six South Whidbey wrestlers Losing two games in four days hit the South Whidbey boys basketball team hard. The Falcons fell in double overtime to the Archbishop Murphy Wildcats 63-58 in Everett on Dec. 19, then lost to La Conner 51-35 on Monday. “Right now, it’s time to reassess what we do, see what we can add or subtract from and go from there,” said Falcon head coach Mike Washington Sr., in his first year at South Whidbey. Facing the 2A Cascade Conference Wildcats, the Falcons held a 28-23 halftime lead. Led by senior Parker Collins’ 17 points, including four three-pointers, South Whidbey lost its way in the third quarter when it was held to only three points. Only senior Mo Hamsa also scored in double digits for the Falcons. “We played really well that game,” Washington said. “I have no complaints,” he added. “I told the kids we
were going to make them beat us from the perimeter.” South Whidbey (1-3 Cascade Conference, 3-4 overall) has yet to win consecutive games, despite opening the season with a 27-point win over Coupeville. Several of South Whidbey’s games have been decided by 10 points or less, including a pair of wins. The most recent close-call win came Dec. 20 against Friday Harbor, when the Falcons beat the Wolverines 46-42 behind 18 points from Collins, including three three-pointers. Washington said the Falcons played uninspired for three quarters and fell behind 40-30. Midway through the third, the Falcon offense found its spark and closed the game on a 16-2 run. He credited the Falcons finding Collins, who had struggled to get the ball earlier, and junior Ricky Muzzy for hitting free throws late in the game. Against La Conner on
Monday, South Whidbey was quickly routed. “They were good. They hit threes, they rebounded well, they had post-up moves,” Washington said of the La Conner squad. “We just didn’t score,” he added. The 35 points were a season low for South Whidbey. Collins, the team’s leading scorer and main shooter, was held to a season-low 12 points. Any time he scores less than 20, Washington said, it’s a problem. “In order for us to win, he’s gotta be over 20,” the Falcon coach said. During Christmas week, the Falcons were only taking the holiday off. Otherwise, they were in the gym to try to reduce their turnovers, improve the offensive efficiency and continue to work on a team-first attitude, Washington said. “We don’t blow teams out, so every possession is important for us,” he said.
show mettle in Lynnwood A few Falcons claimed top-four places at the Lynnwood Classic wrestling tournament Dec. 20. Wrestling in a largely 4A and 3A tournament, South Whidbey finished near the bottom of the 11-team bracket. “It was close,” said Falcon head coach Jim Thompson. “The kids all got at least two matches. It was worth it.” South Whidbey junior Madison Evans finished in third place in the 170-pound division. He had to settle for third place as the champion of the consolation bracket after losing his second-round match. Evans pinned his next two opponents for the third-place honor. His coach said Evans made careless mistakes in the first two bouts, but was able to recover in the final two. “He still does goofy stuff,” Thompson said. “I was really mad at him.” Teammates Will Holbert and Hunter Newman fought in the 132-pound consolation bracket. Holbert, a senior, lost his first-round match, pinned his opponent in the second round, then fell to Newman, a sophomore who pinned his first-round foe, fell in the second round, and pinned in the third-place match. Josh McElhinny, a senior, pinned his
first opponent, lost 10-8 in the second round, then lost in the consolation finale and settled for fourth place. Sophomore Jack Nielsen wrestled up a weight class at the 145. He won two bouts sandwiched by a loss. Trevor Kleinfelder, also a Falcon sophomore, was eliminated after two losses but won a pigtail match in the 160. Logan Madsen lost in his opening bout to a grappler from Archbishop Murphy who had defeated him in a Cascade Conference dual meet the week prior. Thompson said Madsen was close to pinning the Wildcat, but was out of bounds and lost. “It was just a bad draw, but he battled him,” Thompson said. Mariner won the team title, followed by Bothell in second place and Lynnwood in third place. South Whidbey’s wrestlers had Christmas week off before being expected to return in fighting shape Dec. 29. The Falcons’ next competition is the Everett Classic at Everett High School on Jan. 3.

“We have microclimates all over the island,” she added. “Whether they’re hobby farmers or full-on farmers, it helps them.” Ground temperatures from the Petersons’ farm, which according to the station’s online readings is at 166 feet of elevation, will dictate how and when farmers plant crops.

With the convenience of Internet access and even a smartphone app, the Petersons and other South Whidbey growers can check detailed information from their hyperlocal weather station. “We don’t have to even look out the window to see what the weather’s like anymore,” John Petersons said. “We can just pull up the web site.” Online at weather.wsu.edu/awn. php, a map pops up with the 158 station sites, four of which are in Oregon.

He explained that the osprey’s natural nesting place, snags atop tall mature trees, has been largely annihilated due to such trees being felled and young trees not being permitted to mature. Walters said that about 50 percent of Washington’s ospreys have become accustomed to nesting atop power poles instead of tree snags since they were raised in nests built upon such artificial structures. “My experience working

The Craw Road location was selected because of its seclusion from general traffic, openness to the elements and removal from possible danger.

All eight light poles at the high school field will be retrofitted with raptor nest excluder devices to inhibit osprey from perching or nesting there.

The bottom of the nesting box will be a lattice of plastic; there is also a four-inch plastic border to help contain the nest. A cedar perch,situated
Extension sought space with the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District, but found that securing the station from vandalism or damage was too difficult. “The soccer balls might have presented a problem,” Bennett said. Installing a new station cost $10,000, which is generated entirely from within the community of each device. Maintenance to service the station after the first year costs $1,500 per year. That cost, Bennett said, would likely be covered by fundraising campaigns organized by the Island County Extension. “It takes some money to do this,”

An anti-predator guard constructed of aluminum sheeting will be situated on the pole about 10 feet off the ground to prevent ground predators from climbing to the nest.

Fankhauser, was a career meteorologist and she has fond memories reading barometers and reading wind speeds with him as a child.

Langley couple helps doctor revive a community
Contributed photo
Two Mayan children pour clean water from a pump installed with the help of Rotary of South Whidbey, John and Marie Plakos and the Anacortes Rotary Club.
By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record The Mayans call him a saint. The doctor, Sergio Castro, has spent the past 51 years tending to the peoples’ medical, educational and basic needs. Each day, Castro traverses the terrain of Chiapas, Mexico, to apply salves to badly burned bodies and administer medicines to patients suffering ailments ranging from diabetes to ulcers. He treats around 5,000 patients a year.
Castro’s patients have no money with which to pay him, though he would not accept it if they did. Castro says it is against his principles to profit off of the suffering of others. He has no income; his practice is funded entirely by donations from fellow humanitarians like Langley residents John and Marie Plakos, members of the Rotary of South Whidbey, who met the doctor at a fundraiser in 2011. On Nov. 15, John Plakos, a retired cultural attache, became the first non-medical person to accompany Castro

on his morning rounds. He visited seven different homes where, having been introduced as the person who funded the medicine, he was welcomed warmly and permitted to videotape the treatments. “I felt that Sergio’s message should be known to the world,” said Plakos, who has developed a short DVD of the experience. “He’s been doing this for over 51 years with no help from the government or the hospitals.” During Castro’s regular morning rounds, Plakos
recalled meeting and observing the treatment of a woman with a severely burned upper body and a man whose diabetes had necessitated the amputation of his leg. Though some treatments were surely painful, Plakos said, Castro’s patients remained at ease, relaxed perhaps in part by the doctor’s expert bedside manner, a medley of light-heartedness and sincere compassion. “It was a dramatic experience for me, one that I will never forget,” said Plakos. “I felt really honored.”
Intimate & Elegant New Year’s Eve at Ott & Murphy Wines
Plakos and his wife, Marie, have collaborated with Rotary International to donate repeatedly to Castro’s cause and have visited Chiapas on multiple occasions to provide hands-on assistance. In addition to his daily medical rounds, Castro has built 32 elementary schools and installed a handful of clean-water wells for the Mayans with the help of donors such as the Plakos. The modern Mayans — the indigenous people of Mexico — live in destitution amongst the ruins of their ancestors, a society of people dating back to 1800 B.C. who were revered for their advanced knowledge of astronomy and agriculture, poetry and mathematics and, perhaps most famously, calendar-making and architecture. There is some speculation as to what caused the initial decline of the Mayan civilization; but the Spanish conquest of the 1500s abruptly vanquished what was left. “A tragedy is that the Maya civilization was one of the world’s most advanced civilizations, only to be destroyed by Cortes in two years,” said Plakos. Since then, the Mayan people have been relegated to the underclass, shunned and disregarded by the Mexican government. Maya in Chiapas are largely isolated. Most are unable to find work and do not have a source of income. If a Maya seeks treatment at a hospital in Mexico, they are likely to
be turned away or ignored, said Plakos. Mayans living in Chiapas make up 4 million of the 118 million person population of Mexico. The average life expectancy in Mexico is 78 years while, for the Maya, it is 44 years. The poverty level in Mexico is 14 percent, for Maya 70 percent. About 46 percent of Maya have running water, but 90 percent or more of the water is contaminated. Initially, Plakos said, Castro was inspired to begin serving the Mayans when he was helping farmers install irrigation systems and was approached by a man whose son had been badly burned. “He did what he could,” said Plakos. “He started using the medicines that the Mayans had used for thousands of years, and from that point on it just sort of snowballed. Word circulated.” Believing that anyone who is ill or hurt should receive help, and knowing the hospitals and government would not provide it, Plakos began his work. Patricia Ferrer, a registered nurse from Arizona, has donated at least two weeks a year for the past nine years to assist Don Sergio with treating patients. “I don’t know how he has been able to continue with such a heavy load,” she once confided to Plakos.

Making New Year’s resolutions worth keeping
WHIDBEY RECIPES
Margaret Walton
Well, thus far we’ve made it past the first day of winter, through Christmas, and are now heading toward that final countdown on New Year’s Eve. As usual, I’m unable to understand where it all went so fast, but ‘twas ever thus. By the time you’re reading this, you’ve no doubt made your New Year’s resolutions list, and are, of course, resolved to keep them all. Sure, and if you look out the window, you’ll see a pig flying by. Personally, my primary resolution is only to get up every morning and keep moving. Other than that, I’ll just keep doing what needs to be done and enjoy friends and family as much and as often as possible. Frankly, I’m not sad to see the end of 2014; the year held a few unpleasant surprises, a couple of which I’m still dealing with, so as far as I’m concerned, 2015 will be a clean slate and a fresh start. Not that I’m a Polyanna

who thinks it’s all going to a bed of roses (after all, roses have a lot of thorns), but putting the unpleasant stuff behind and making an effort to begin 2015 in the company of people I love and planning our ongoing get-togethers will be a good way to begin. As you’ve no doubt guessed by now, if you are a regular reader of this column, any gathering in our house will also involve food; always food. It is the tie that binds, the glue that holds us together, and I can’t recall any event in all of my decades on this earth, that a gathering of friends and/or family has not also included a meal of some sort. Some may be hastily thrown together, others carefully planned weeks ahead, but there shall be food. And, come to think of it, that’s as good a resolution for the New Year as any other I can come up with, so I hereby resolve that come what may, there shall be tasty, nutritious, interesting, plentiful food at all gatherings of two or more people in which I am involved. Happy New Year to all our Record readers and, as we’re doing that countdown
New Year’s Eve, let’s raise our glass of cheer in a toast to good health, good food, beloved family and good friends.
RECIPES You probably have your own fat file of favorite holiday recipes, but I’ll share a couple of mine anyway. And since we’re talking party time, I can’t think of anything I’d love to see on my New Year’s Day party buffet table more than this Gorgonzola cheesecake, two of my favorite things combined.
SAVORY GORGONZOLA CHEESECAKE ¾ cup walnuts, toasted and ground 1/3 cup finely crushed zwieback 2 T. butter, melted (no substitutions, please) 1 carton (15 oz.) ricotta cheese 3 eggs ¼ cup milk 6 oz. (about 1 ½ cups) Gorgonzola cheese, finely crumbled 1 t. snipped fresh basil
1 t. finely snipped fresh rosemary Rosemary sprigs, for garnish (optional) For the crust: Combine the walnuts, crushed zwieback and melted butter. Press onto the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. For filling: In a bowl with an electric mixer on low to med. speed, beat together the ricotta cheese, eggs and milk just until combined. Add the Gorgonzola, basil and rosemary, beating at low speed just until nearly smooth. Place springform pan in a shallow baking pan to catch any drips. Pour the filling into the pan and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven about 40 min., or until the center appears nearly set when gently shaken. Remove from oven; cool for 15 min. on a wire rack, then loosen the crust from the sides of the pan and cool 30 min. more. Remove sides of pan, cover and refrigerate the cheesecake at least 3 hrs., or overnight (which makes this an excellent do-ahead appetizer). To serve, cut into wedges and if desired, garnish with fresh rosemary. Makes 20
servings (unless you cut the wedges too thick). Note: Can be made ahead, wrapped in freezer wrap and frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in refridgerator before serving. Here’s another very special party appetizer that you can make ahead, and this one is full of crab meat, which makes it outstanding.
CREAMY CRABBY BRIE DIP ½ cup diced onion 5 t. olive oil, divided (see instructions) ¼ cup dry white wine ¾ cup canned artichoke hearts, chopped 1/2 cup heavy cream (c’mon; it’s a special holiday dish) 1 wheel (13 oz.) Brie cheese, rind removed, cubed 1 t. Dijon mustard 1 t. lemon juice Minced zest of half a lemon ½ t. Worcestershire sauce Cayenne pepper, to taste (don’t make it too hot) 2 T. minced fresh parsley 2 t. minced fresh tarragon (or 1 t. dried)
