County cops arrest three for felony domestic violence By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record

Ben Watanabe / The Record

Greenbank residents Rob and Leslie Born enjoy the Friday special of fish tacos from Bubba Flame Broiled Burger truck in Freeland on Friday. Not frequent food truck diners, they said they were in favor of Langley allowing food trucks in the city.

Langley considers new rules for food trucks By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Langley may join the hip foodie ranks of Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and New York if the city council approves a newly proposed food truck ordinance. City council members will have their first discussion of the ordinance at Tuesday’s 5:30 p.m. meeting. As the proposal is currently worded, a $100 license would cover the calendar year and

allows food trucks to operate between 9 a.m. and 10 p.m., seven days a week. There are no existing restrictions, however, that regulate the operation of such trucks inside city limits. Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio, who was hired earlier this month, said the upcoming council meeting will likely include talk of setting a seasonal restriction on food trucks. Perhaps between Memorial Day and Labor Day when the city sees a major increase

in business activity. “I’m aware that there’s a potential for food trucks to have an impact on existing businesses,” said Davolio, who previously worked on a temporary food truck ordinance in Rhode Island and found it to be successful. “I want to make sure that there’s a level playing field.” A prospective food truck license holder was SEE FOOD TRUCKS, A16

Lawmakers launch legislative session with unusual bills By Cooper Inveen WNPA Olympia News Bureau OLYMPIA — Would your state lawmaker ever consider decriminalizing heroin possession? Or maybe turning the Supreme Court justices’ elections partisan? What about allowing teenagers to taste alcohol? The 2015 Legislative session is just getting started, but already some proposed bills are likely to

turn a few heads. Sixteen Republicans and three Democrats have sponsored House Bill 1051, which would require Supreme Court justices — but no other judicial officer in the state — to declare a partisan affiliation when running for election. One sponsor, Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, has called the bill more of a poke at the Supreme Court than a genuine attempt to pass legislation. The bill comes in response to the

Supreme Court’s 2012 McCleary decision, which requires legislators to pass fundamental reforms to state education funding. The bill’s sponsors believe the Supreme Court violated the separation of powers by telling legislators explicitly what to do, and therefore “should be considered partisan like the legislature,” according to the bill’s first section. Sen. Jan Angel, R-Port Orchard, has sponsored Senate Bill 5008,

which would amend the state definition of a “beverage” to exclude beer and other malt drinks. The proposal is all about the container, though not the liquid inside. The bill would allow business owners to sell beer in a new type of container with a recyclable lid. That type of bottle is prohibited under current law. HB 1004, co-sponsored by Rep. SEE SESSION, A16

Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated three allegations of felony-level domestic assaults on South Whidbey in a three-week period. In the first case, a South Whidbey man is accused of stomping on his girlfriend and fracturing her spine. He recently appeared in Island County Superior Court. In that case, prosecutors charged 44-year-old Kenneth E. Short, Jr., of Freeland in Island County Superior Court Dec. 19 with assault in the second degree. A judge issued a $5,000 warrant for Short’s arrest after he failed to appear at a Jan. 5 hearing, but he appeared in court three days later, according to court documents. A deputy responded to a report of a domestic assault on Fish Road Oct. 30. The alleged victim reported that she and her boyfriend, Short, were in a mobile home and he attacked her for no apparent reason when she was looking for a movie to watch, the report states. The woman said he threw her to the ground and “stomped her” with his boots on; she was in great pain and had trouble moving, the report states.

Nick Serrano and Jackie Rutherford of Lake Stevens will be married Saturday at Dancing Fish Farm in Freeland. The lucky couple aren’t just tying the knot, but are the winners of the first Win a Whidbey Wedding contest put on to promote Whidbey Island as a winter wedding destination. Island wedding and event professionals, along with tourism officials, teamed up to donate a wedding for one couple and 48 guests, worth over $16,000. Couples nominated

themselves by telling their story and submitting a photo. The public voted and one lucky couple was chosen at random at the Weddings on Whidbey and Events Tour last November 8. The winning couple, Serrano and Rutherford, have been working fast and furiously with Whidbey Party Girls! to hold the January wedding. They’d originally planned to marry in August. “It has been such a whirlwind of wedding planning, but Jackie and Nick are a great couple, perfectly suited to one another, so wedding plan-

ning has been a breeze,” according to Gloria Mickunas, the owner of Whidbey Party Girls! and one of the one of the contest’s organizers. “Having a date coming up so quickly made it easy for Nick and Jackie to really define what was most important to the two of them and what they wanted to have incorporated for their wedding day.” To learn more about the participating wedding specialists, please visit http://www.whidbeypartygirls.com/blog/ win-whidbey-wedding/.

Gene Baylous Seals

A warrior until the end, Gene Baylous Seals passed away at Home Place in Oak Harbor, Wash., Jan. 9, 2015. Born Jan. 30, 1922 in Hobart, Okla., his life began at the time of the Dust Bowl and poverty. In the third grade, his family pulled him out of school to pick cotton and follow the crops between Texas and Arizona, doing what they could to survive. Gene joined the CC Camp at the age of 17, and when he was able, the Army. In 1941, his first duty was at Fort Lewis, where he was shipped out to North Africa. Getting caught in a booby trap, his leg was shot and he received his first Purple Heart. From there, with his leg patched up, he was back in the Infantry under General Patton, where he was sent to

the frontlines in the Battle of The Bulge. Christmas day, 1944, Gene was shot again and, when he came to, was in a hospital in England. Because he did not have enough points, he was sent back to active duty. He was involved in freeing the last of the Holocaust survivors and witnessed the horrid evidence of those not so lucky. In 1947, while stationed at Fort Lawton in Seattle, Gene was attending a dance and met the love of his life, Margaret Wildes. They were married Dec. 27, 1947. In 1950, Gene was sent to Korea where, again, God was watching out for him when he narrowly avoided capture. Gene’s world travels continued as he was asked to go on a military mission to Holland. He continued to be stationed in different places, back to Washington and during the Cuban Crisis was sent to Florida to have the Nike missiles ready to launch. The day after he put in for retirement, he received orders to Vietnam but chose to load up his family and return to Whidbey Island and the property on Wildes Road in Clinton. Not being a man to sit around, he went to work at Watermans Mill and in 1966 went to work for the Island County Road Department, where he retired in 1982. Gene was not idle in his

retirement, spending his days cutting wood and delivering many cords around the island, gardening to supply the neighbors with corn and raspberries and always ready to launch his boat and catch a salmon. He was a 32 degree Mason, member of the Nile, American Legion and VFW. He was a gentleman till the day he died, with a strong faith in Our Lord. He will be missed. Gene is survived by his wife of 67 years; two daughters, Margaret (Ed) Rieckelman, of Yakima, and Patty (Scott) Blouin, of Coupeville; three grandchildren, Parker Rieckelman of Richland, Emily Ouhl of Napavine, Sharlie (Seth) Tassie of Coupeville; step granddaughter Amy Rieckelman, of Los Angeles; and numerous nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations are given to the Bayview Senior Center of Island County and Whidbey General Hospice. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 24, at Visser Funeral Home, 432 Third St., in Langley, Wash. A family graveside service will be held earlier that morning at 10 a.m. Visser Funeral Home 432 Third Street, Langley, WA 360-221-6600

WEATHER REPORT | A whole lot of rain today, Sunday and Monday. Then a break Tuesday. Lows near 40.

FIRE/EMS District redoes tender bid For the second time, South Whidbey Fire/EMS is seeking bids for two new water tenders. District commissioners plan to add the vehicles to the fleet this year, and sought bids from manufacturers in 2014. Only one responded, and the quote exceeded the agency’s $300,000 budget. At the urging of district administrators, the board agreed at its regular meeting Tuesday to try again. “I’m confident we can get a tender for under $310,000, just not from these folks,” said Chief Rusty Palmer, referring to the rejected bid. District staff tried changing the specifications of the tenders to get it within the company’s bid, but walked away in favor of trying again with other manufacturers who may have shied away the last time. Deputy Chief Jon Beck, who has led the bid process for the tenders, said he hoped to have a bid proposal deadline of Feb. 10. He also told the fire commissioners that he spoke with three companies that originally had not submitted bids and were now interested. Water tenders are large vehicles used to shuttle

water in support of fire engines. South Whidbey Fire/ EMS took care of some other accounting business at its regular monthly meeting, which was the first of 2015. Commissioners approved a string of bid awards. Mapping of the district was scrapped and re-awarded after the original low bidder dropped out, handing the $2,253 contract to Whidbey Mapping Services. Pest control for the district will be handled by Oak Harbor-based Absolute Pest Control for $3,667.97. Overhead door maintenance will be done by Mount Vernon-based Special Door Services for $1,916.38.

SCHOOLS Reader boards may go electric The South Whidbey School District may replace the high school and middle school reader boards. At a school board workshop Wednesday evening, Facilities and Operations Director Brian Miller said both boards are “falling apart,” and are highly difficult to maintain particularly during times of heavy rainfall and strong winds. Miller said he would like to install an electronic reader board for the high

school in particular and is looking into options which may allow for a black backdrop and light lettering in order to ease concerns about light pollution. Langley does not presently allow electronic reader boards, explained Miller, so it would require a variance of some kind for Langley Middle School. The main concern from Langley is that of light pollution. Miller discussed the possibility of putting a small hood atop the board to reduce light pollution. Technically, Miller said, the district is only required to satisfy the requirements set by Island County concerning the high school reader board, but he would prefer to reach an agreement with Langley as well. He noted that he is in discussions with the city and Island County officials, and is exploring options so that the eventual choice can be one mutually satisfactory to Island County, Langley and the school district. Miller suggested the school district may consider something similar to the Whidbey Children’s Theater reader board, which is situated closer to the ground, for the middle school. Molly MacLeodRoberts, a parent present at the workshop, questioned spending $25,00035,000 on a board for the middle school. While it might make sense for the

CORRECTIONS In the Saturday, January 10 edition of The Record, the story “Langley police officer helps save a life with AED” on page 5 contained incorrect information. The cost of an automated electronic defibrillator is about $1,200 and was covered by a grant obtained by Whidbey General Hospital EMS. In the Wednesday, Jan. 14 edition of The Record, the story “Help needed with homeless count in Island County” on page 4 included incorrect contact information. To volunteer for the South Whidbey Homeless “Point in Time” count, call Joanne Pelant at 360-678-7962 or Good Cheer Food Bank’s main line at 360-221-6494. In the Wednesday, Jan. 14 edition of The Record, the story “Improvements needed, but Washington State Ferries ‘still successful’ ” on page 3 a figure reflecting rising fare prices was misstated. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said rates for ferries have increased 100 percent since 2000. high school, the middle school has far fewer students and public events, she said. School bulletins and regular announcements are adequate to cover existing communications needs, MacLeodRoberts said. Jo Moccia, superintendent, clarified that the board is only discussing possibilities at this time and will not make any decisions in the near future. Moccia added that the district does not plan to outmode the reader board form of communication at either school and will continue to explore options.

Nationally acclaimed youth activist Iraq war visits, speaks on South Whidbey veteran One of the nation’s youngest political activists is stopping by South Whidbey to deliver a speech as a part of the 10th annual “Blessed are the Peacemakers” program, an event in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. and the nonviolent protesters of the Civil Rights Movement. The free community event will be held at 1 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 19, at St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods Church in Freeland. The service will also include a narrative text reading from the pulpit, which will provide historical background in regard to the Civil Rights Movement, and music led by Trinity Lutheran Minister of Music Karl Olsen. This year, the program will be focused upon the role of youth and young adults in the movement. King was 26 years old when he became the leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and a spokesperson for nonviolent protest of inequality and injustice. Hundreds of children marched through Birmingham during the Children’s Crusade in 1963 to urge the mayor to talk about segregation in the city. Countless other young people, including Fisk University student Diane Nash who took on the mayor of Nashville in regard to the immorality of segregation, were also pivotal in the movement. Madison Kimrey, age 13, rose to prominence

221-5525 www.theclyde.net Tickets $7, under 17 or over 65, $5

Kimrey when she articulated a passionate refute of North Carolina state governor Pat McCrory’s rescinding of voter pre-registration for youth earning drivers permits. She became incensed at the governor’s dismissal of her and other protestors’ requests to discuss the policy change. She contends that Governor McCrory’s actions signify that he is dismissing the political validity of young Americans. Kimrey has since spoken with many national heavyweights, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, and

has been interviewed on programs such as MSNBC and Huffington Post Live. Kimrey’s local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People gave her the Youth Social Justice Award. She was also featured as a speaker in the We Are Women Constitution Day rally on the Capitol Mall in Washington, D.C., and is a Davidson Scholar Young Ambassador and founder of the North Carolina Youth Rocks activist group. Earlier this week, Kimrey spoke at South Whidbey schools, in part to encourage students to attend Monday’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day event. Kimrey encouraged others to become involved in social and political causes for the betterment of the community. Near the end of her speech at Langley Middle School on Thursday afternoon, Kimrey asserted, “We’re the future of the nation. Let’s act like it.” Monday’s event is sponsored by the St. Augustine’s Episcopal Peace Fellowship.

A former U.S. Army soldier, military intelligence analyst and Iraq war veteran drew a crowd of about 100 people at a community forum on war this past weekend. Matt Southworth was the keynote speaker at the event, the theme of which was, “If war is not the answer, what is?” The forum was held Saturday Jan. 10 at Bayview Hall, and was sponsored by the Whidbey Island Friends Meeting (Quakers). According to a Thursday news release, Southworth talked about how his experiences led him to question war, and that actions required of soldiers “take away dignity that cannot be rebuilt.” Southworth went on to

Editor’s column Utilize The Record, it’s your newspaper By JUSTIN BURNETT

Of all the island’s newspapers, ours has the best name. The South Whidbey Record — it has a good ring to it, for several reasons. To start, I love that we’re The Record, rather than a times, examiner, herald or whatever. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all classic and traditional titles, but newspapers are a first draft of history, and nothing speaks to that so clearly as the word

“record.” I dig that. It’s also cool that our title has been spared the “blanderizer,” meaning it’s never been watered down to appeal to a broader audience, specifically taking the “South” out of the name. In fact, the truth is quite the opposite. We were once the Whidbey Island Record, but have since narrowed our gaze to a single community. South Whidbey. That’s who we write about. That’s who we care about. There’s always a bit of overlap, but our primary interest is and always will be what’s happening from Clinton north to the island’s Mason-Dixon line, long delineated by the old phone booth at Classic Road and Highway 525. We’re the South Whidbey Record, or perhaps more precisely South Whidbey’s record. This may be a private business, but it’s the community’s paper, and the purpose of my column today is to remind readers of that often overlooked truth. We’re here for you. Our goal is write about what you need and want to read, including everything from the doings of government to what you, your kids and your neighbors are up to. To that end, we have a few dedicated pages in every issue that people can and should take advantage of, beginning with the People Page on page 2. This is a place for small and large accomplishments alike. Catch a big fish over the weekend? Have a baby, get married or celebrate an anniversary? Tell us about it because your friends and family want to know. And don’t forget to send a picture too. How about an opinion? Well, we have a space for that as well and it runs on page 6 of every edition. Good, bad, political, whatever; I may not agree with you, and if you ask I might just say you’re nuts, but I’ll publish your two cents all the same. The Record’s policy is to run 99.9 percent of all letters, the only exceptions being wild and unfounded claims, stuff like your neighbor is an axe murderer. Finally, our Calendar Page is free floating, but runs in every paper. It aims to highlight free and public events, and anyone can submit. For all the cool stuff happening on South Whidbey, we get far too few submissions so send them in. All three items are best submitted via our website, www. southwhidbeyrecord.com, but they can also be emailed to me directly at editor@southwhidbeyrecord.com. Don’t forget, South Whidbey, The Record is your paper. Use it.

Funicular plans deserve more consideration Editor, I am writing in support of a pedestrian-assist between the marina/Wharf Street area and downtown/ Cascade. As a design professional, volunteer facilitator for former mayor Paul Samuelson’s Wharf Street Master Plan strategies (12 months with property owners, port and city officials), a volunteer summer shuttle driver and Design Review Board member, I have observed the difficulties that pedestrians (young families, seniors, physically challenged visitors, boaters with supplies, etc.) have experienced and expressed regarding traversing Wharf Street to downtown. The journey needs to be accessible to all, not just the “fit.” There are two main options: a mechanical assist (vertical or inclined elevator or funicular) and a shuttle vehicle. Both require hardware purchase, operations and maintenance costs and trained drivers on regular schedules (shuttle), and Island Transit is out. Given some view blockage with a vertical elevator/bridge, the funicular offers the best promise for a pedestrianassist transport. The shuttle van requires purchase or lease, fuel, maintenance, certified/insured drivers, regular schedules and city ownership. Both can be assessed by the city with accurate specifications and cost estimates for informed decisions rather than the emotional and informationlite dialogue that is trans-

piring. Support and encourage the city’s continued advancement of a pedestrian-assist mechanism based on sound science and accurate costs. The marina was the historic economic engine for Langley and is emerging as a key economic benefit for the future, yet is constrained due to a lack of land area for parking, maneuverability, boat trailers etc., as development activities continue. Let’s move forward in a reasonable way, with accurate facts and feasibility analysis — forward, not in emotional circles. RON KASPRISIN Langley

Self-righteous statements of auditor don’t fly Editor, The reality of how another report prepared by our agency personnel that sits in a drawer in Olympia adds to “transparency and accountability” and “in meeting the expectations of the people they serve” as claimed by state Auditor Troy Kelly escapes me. If the report actually mattered, the state would bear

the expense of mailing a copy of it to each of our customers in my sewer district. In addition to the annual report, the state Auditor’s Office conducts an on-site audit of our district every three years that costs our rate payers thousands of dollars. All our meetings and records are open for the public to see and the names and telephone numbers of all our commissioners, who pay the same rate as all our customers, are listed on our monthly billing. If someone wants to know why our legal expense has doubled in the past 10 years, they need only to look at the ever increasing number of regulations and requirements the state loads on our operation. The state Auditor’s Office has some sincere people who are trying to do a good job. But it isn’t about transparency and accountability. It is about increasing the number of state employees and eventually forcing all of the employees of these small districts with one or two people to join the state employees union. I suspect the unpublished agenda is

for the state to eventually run all local agencies. If you think that is a bit extreme, please investigate how all the money in first federal stimulus package, which was nearly $1 billion that was supposed to go for “shovel-ready jobs” for public agencies, ended up in the state employee retirement pension fund. Selfrighteous statements about what a great job the state Auditor is doing spending taxpayer money deserves some pushback from these little agencies.

Navy aircraft landing field that has existed since the 1940s. Then we are shocked to learn of the gross mismanagement of Island Transit, resulting in the firing of top management due to the squandering of public funds. This happened shortly after completion of a multimillion dollar transit complex, complete with questionable amenities with expensive price tags. Then more recently we learned of management lapses at Whidbey General Hospital involving failure to file financial reports in violation of state law. This happened after a passionate appeal by hospital management for a $50 million bond issue (loan) for new construction, in spite of continued deficit spending for their operating budget. After voter approval of the bond issue, one wonders if the public is getting its money’s worth? What ever happened to accountability? It seems that some public officials are either so arrogant or irresponsible that they can no longer be trusted to do the right thing. The next question, of course, is where was the oversight from boards of directors and county commissioners? Is anyone minding the store? DAVID HOWE Greenbank

Mayor’s beat Langley mayor ruminates on “A community for a lifetime” was “Centennial Year.” In 2014 the theme was “A Year of Economic Development.” Having a theme for the year brings us back to our goals and objectives when the strategic improvements and initiatives that we plan are challenged by the immediate demands of emerging needs. So what was behind choosing the theme “A Community for a Lifetime” for 2015? To start, it resonated with the council because in their view Langley has it all. Langley is a city of choice for many people for very different reasons. Some people travel the world, achieve a high degree of professional and financial success in their life, and then decide to retire in the most desirable place they have ever visited or lived. Quite often the resulting choice is Langley.

Fred McCarthy

By Fred McCarthy Langley mayor This is the theme that came out of the city council’s planning meetings as it prepared a budget for 2015 through a series of workshops and public hearings. In 2013 our theme

Some people grow up here, leave the island for school, training, or travel and then return for the community and values they remembered when they grew up here. Other people carefully list all of the qualities they want in a community: a beautiful environment with breathtaking views, water access and inviting beaches, old growth woodland trails and open farm fields, interesting and welcoming residents, the arts and entertainment, a child-friendly city, high performing public schools and quality private school options, low crime rates, a friendly communityoriented police department, access to high quality health care, interesting community events, cultural experiences, fare-free public transportation, reasonable cost of living, the oppor-

tunity to volunteer or contribute, other people with similar interests, quality relationships, privacy and respect for others’ property, and the place to make a difference. When they compare this list with communities to consider, Langley often comes to the top. Langley and its environment tends to bring out the best in all of us. So I invite you to remember our city theme for 2015: “A Community for a Lifetime” and work together to shop locally, support our local businesses, volunteer in the community, and bring about as many improvements here as possible to help make our theme our reality in 2015. Sincerely, Fred

Clinton glass artist’s work to be featured on national TV By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Glassworker Dennis Meszaros is buzzing with enthusiasm over one of his latest projects. The Clinton resident recently assisted with the build of a honeycombshaped treehouse in Woodinville, Wash., as a part of Animal Planet’s TV series “Treehouse Masters.” Meszaros, who has been working with glass for over 20 years, operates his glassworking business out of his home studio in Clinton. For the show, he completed the entry door, door fixtures and cabinets for the house using hand-blown glass. “I feel very fortunate,” Meszaros said of working on the show. “It was a really beautiful experience.” The episode will air Jan. 29 on Animal Planet. The show follows treehouse master builder and Washington resident Pete Nelson and his crew as they tour the country building spectacular canopy abodes for individuals looking for extra play space or a place to hide away. “It’s a great family show. It’s funny, it’s quirky, it’s silly,” said Meszaros. “But the end result is the beauty of this amazing structure they built in the tree.” The show’s website contains a calendar, where those

bees, believing them to be an integral part of the ecosystem. The honeycombshaped treehouse represents her entomological affinity as well as her creative personality, with many unique elements in interior design which complement the surrounding outdoor artwork. Some of the treehouses span two or more trees and are quite large, with the largest to date scaling 750 square feet. The Woodinville house is smaller, and sits in a single tree.

“It’s a place for an artist to go and escape,” said Meszaros. The “Treehouse Masters” team includes builders, carpenters and interior designers, and employs local professionals to help with certain aspects of the builds. “They’re like a traveling gypsy caravan that travels from state to state building these amazing treehouses,” Meszaros said. “They’re all a family. They made me feel very welcome.” Meszaros’ friend recom-

He credits both his craftsmanship and personable nature for his hire, and said he is still in contact with several of the crew members with whom he became friends. It was especially exciting for him and his family, he said, because they have been fans of the show since it first aired in May 2013. It also afforded him the opportunity to show his kids that what he does for a living can be pretty cool. “They were stoked,” he said. For Meszaros, glasswork

is as much about creativity and artistry as it is about ensuring the satisfaction and happiness of customers. “Treehouse Masters” was no different, he said, remarking that Alison Farmer has invited him to join her for tea in the tree. When not working with treehouse masters, Meszaros creates corporate awards, windows, custom shower enclosures, custom art glass design, fused and cast glass, custom door pulls and “pretty much anything in glass.”

South Whidbey boys withstand late Lakewood surge By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Despite losing a 10-point lead, South Whidbey’s boys basketball team held on for a 66-64 win over Lakewood on Tuesday night for the Falcons’ second straight win. The team survived a furious Cougar charge in the final four minutes and secured its first winning streak of the season. With four minutes left, a pair of Ricky Muzzy free throws put the Falcons up 61-52. Lakewood hit a trio of three-pointers and made a layup with a free throw to cut the lead to two points with five seconds remaining. The Cougars tried to force a turnover on the ensuing inbound play, but Falcon head coach Mike Washington called time out before the five-second violation to reset the offense and avoid the penalty. Out of the huddle, the Falcons got the ball to senior Parker Collins who was promptly fouled. Usually sure-handed at the line, Collins missed the first shot of a one-and-one attempt, giving Lakewood possession with three seconds on the clock. Lakewood head coach Anthony Wiederkehr called a timeout to draw up a play, but South Whidbey’s defense forced the Cougars to put the ball in reserve Sean Dawson’s hands for a threequarter court heave that sailed wide as time expired. “We knew they were going to go on a run,” said Falcon junior Donovan Miller, who finished with nine points on three three-pointers all in

Falcon freshman Lewis Pope drives to the hoop against Lakewood on Tuesday, Jan. 13. the first quarter. “We just had to play good defense in the fourth quarter, and they started hitting the fourth quarter. That’s why it was a close game.” South Whidbey opened the match with torrid scoring. Miller hit the first shot of the game, a corner threepointer, and followed it up with another one a minute later. His last and final shot was a three from the top of the arc to put South Whidbey ahead 12-6. “We just kind of ran our plays,” Miller said. “I was

open so I got it.” “I’ve been working on setting my feet.” Lakewood made several runs, including a five-point stretch in the final 30 seconds of the first half. Trailing 10 points, Lakewood connected on a pair of free throws and a last-second layup to cut the lead to eight points. Out of the break,

Chandler Sutton, a South Whidbey senior, beats Lakewood junior Matthew Keen to the rim for two of his game-high 21 points. Lakewood got into a groove from the perimeter with a pair of three-pointers by senior Hunter Fritz, who scored all 12 of his points in the third quarter. South Whidbey refused to panic and continued to drive to the hoop. The Falcons’ first 10 points in the third quarter came on layups. Defensively, the Falcons’ lanky players hounded the

Cougars, including a pair of blocks by senior Chandler Sutton, though none were perhaps as important as one late in the game. “That’s ’cause he said hands up, and he meant it,” said Sutton, who led all scorers with 21 points. Tuesday’s game was a continuation of Sutton’s emergence as a second scoring threat for South Whidbey.

Previously, the Falcons relied heavily on senior Parker Collins, who finished with 19 points. The pair combined for 50 points the night before and accounted for 40 of the Falcons’ 66 points Tuesday. “Coach has been motivating me a lot to work on my grades,” said Sutton of his playing time and increased on-court production. “The past three seasons I really struggled with my grades. I’ve just been working in class and getting really focused to get out here.” Later, Sutton added: “Coach’s intensity in practice is pretty crazy some times, but definitely practice helps a lot.” Free-throw shooting continued to be an issue for South Whidbey, which went 12-for-20 at the line including missing a pair of late one-andone tries. Lakewood hit 12 of its 16 attempts. Heading into Friday’s game at Sultan, which carried postseason implications because the Turks are 1A along with the Falcons and the league leading King’s Knights, as well as Cedar Park Christian, South Whidbey’s players said defense would be the emphasis in practice and in the Cascade Conference contest. “It feels good when you got two wins, a streak,” Sutton said. “We didn’t have a win on the road at all … Hopefully we can keep that momentum going.”

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

thrilled at the news. In November, the owner of the Lunch Box food truck spoke with Mayor Fred McCarthy about potentially setting up in the city. At the time, Langley was without a planning director but some work had been done on an ordinance to permit food trucks on city streets. Janae Cameron, who owns the Lunch Box but is probably better known as half of

the Clinton-based Turnco Wood Goods, was thrilled to learn the city was considering letting mobile food businesses set up shop. “We’d love to do it,” said Cameron, later commenting on the relatively low licensing cost for startup food vendors compared to farmers markets. “A hundred dollars, I think that is really reasonable,” she added. One restaurant owner was curious about the city’s course, but wanted to see what would happen before endorsing or rejecting the inclusion of food trucks in Langley life. “The issue for me always is we have brick-and-mortar stores and associated costs,” said Paul Sarkis, owner of Village Pizzeria. “However, food wagons are pretty popular. … Sometimes it’s almost too busy flow-wise.” “It’s a sign of the times,” he added. As proposed, food trucks would be confined to one of six areas in downtown. Each zone is about 200 square feet, or the equiva-

lent of three diagonal parking spots. Five of the six zones are on Second Street, and the other is down Anthes Avenue, north of First Street toward Seawall Park. Of the six zones identified by the city planner, he said the initial launch of the licenses may open only two: in a loading zone near US Bank and a parking space just north of Langley Park. Parking is a concern for the city. Though Langley city leaders have maintained in the past that parking is not the problem it is often perceived to be, Davolio said when he first arrived it was hard to find a place to park in the downtown area. It can be a headache, but also a barometer for the economy. “If there’s a demand for parking, that’s a good thing,” he said. “It means business is doing well.” Hoping to avoid any clashes with corner setups and enterprising children, the city included an exemption for lemonade stands. They can set up shop anywhere they want.

that she suffered a “right L3 transverse fracture,” the report states. In another case, deputies were called to a domestic assault at an apartment in Clinton Jan. 1. A woman reported that her boyfriend, Michael Dirlam, choked her until she couldn’t breathe and punched her in the eye and ribs, according to the deputy’s report. During the assault, the woman yelled for her friend to take her son to safety and call the cops, the report indicates. Prosecutors charged Dirlam in Island County Superior Court Jan. 9 with assault in the second degree, domestic violence. A judge set his bail at $10,000 Jan. 8. Then on Jan. 7, deputies responded to a report of a domestic assault outside a home in Freeland. The alleged victim reported that her fiancé, Russell Berenda, attacked her inside his truck when they were parked

Larry Springer, D-Kirkland, and nine others, would allow community colleges and universities to hold alcohol tastings for those over the age of 18. It would also allow people between the ages of 18 and 21 to taste alcohol in relevant courses, such as viticulture. Rep. Sherry Appleton, D-Poulsbo, co-sponsored HB 1024, which would remove the felony classification from drug possession charges, reducing them to simple misdemeanors. The bill is set to be presented to the House Public Safety Committee on Jan. 16, but Appleton believes it’s too early to predict how the proposal will do. “I expect that moving this through the Legislature will

in the driveway. They had been at the Freehand Cafe and had an altercation, according to the police report. She claimed Berenda choked her and she couldn’t breathe, so she kicked the windshield out of his truck. After she locked herself in the truck and refused to leave, he broke the windshield of her BMW, the report states. The alleged victim then opened the door. Berenda allegedly dragged her out by the hair, pushed her down so that her face was in the gravel and stole the diamond engagement ring he had given her nine months prior, the report states. During the investigation, Berenda admitted that he had kicked out the window of her car because she had kicked out his truck’s window, the report claims. The deputy wrote that he found the $6,000 ring in Berenda’s front pocket and released it to the woman. Prosecutors charged Berenda in Island County Superior Court Jan. 12 with assault in the second, theft in the first degree and malicious mischief in the second degree.

be a big challenge, and I can’t predict whether we’ll make it this year or not,” she said in an email. “What I hope to accomplish is to improve on the situation we now have, which finds us with people still incarcerated in our state for simple possession.” Appleton’s identical bill last year never made it to the House floor. But proposing the same bill multiple times is not uncommon in the Legislature. “All ideas need to start somewhere,” said independent pollster Stuart Elway. “If they know it’s not going to pass this time, maybe next time or five years down the road it’ll gain traction. There’s a lot of [bills] that take two or three sessions before they ever make it further along.” Among other interesting bills is a measure to out-

law breed-based dog bans, which some dog owners believe unfairly target certain breeds without the science to back up the bans. Another proposed bill would create an advisory committee to set East Asianmedicine standards. The fate or future of any of these proposals rests with the legislative process that opened Monday in Olympia.
