Apple map error includes Whidbey Island, county to lobby for fix By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Hat Island is getting more crowded by the second, according to Apple Inc. Along with Langley, Whidbey Island is also inaccurately listed on the tech giant’s map program for mobile devices. They are currently
listed as being on the tiny isle 1.5-mile-long by half-mile-wide isle, also known as Gedney. Privately owned, Hat is in Possession Sound between Everett and the South End. Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson confirmed Thursday that she was already planning to petition the board to draft a formal letter to Apple seeking redress of
the Langley error when she learned that Whidbey’s location is also misrepresented. “It needs to be corrected,” Price Johnson said. The larger error was pointed out by an eagled-eyed online commenter who was responding to a story published by the South Whidbey Record on Wednesday concerning
Langley’s incorrect listing. The error is on the app “Maps” which comes preloaded into Apple mobile devices, such as iPhones, iPads and the company’s laptop computers. It’s unclear how long either SEE APPLE, A7

Kayakers rest on a Whidbey Beach. Island County will spend $175,000 this year to identify public beach accesses on Whidbey and Camano islands.
County prioritizes beach access By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Beach access advocates have something to celebrate. Island County has earmarked $175,000 to identify the county’s many beach access points and prioritize them for maintenance and signage. The lack of county-sanctioned beach access, along with clearly marked kayak access points have been an ongoing concern for groups supporting public access to the seashore. “I think this is a good thing,” said Sue Ellen
White with Whidbey Island Sea Kayakers Thursday. “We’ve been talking to them for years and it was kind of like they turned a deaf ear to this.” Doubling the funding will allow the county to take a comprehensive look at its many beach access points, determine ownership of uplands and tidelands and prioritize them for future improvements. Beach access advocates pressed county staff at transportation-related open houses last spring on both the North and South ends of the island.

Whidbey General Hospital’s new CEO will earn a base salary of $279,000 per year with a potential annual bonus of nearly $70,000, according to a contract to be finalized March 9. That’s about $100,000 more than the state average for lead executives for critical access hospitals, and about $60,000 more than in neighboring counties, according to state statistics. “Forbes may receive a bonus of up to 25 percent of her salary if she achieves goals mutually agreed upon by the board and CEO,” said the hospital’s board President Anne Tarrant in an emailed statement to the Whidbey News Group. “These goals have not yet been determined.” Geri Forbes, current CEO of Doctors Memorial Hospital, located in Perry, Fla., is slated to step into the job of Whidbey General CEO on April 20. The hospital’s board of directors is expected to finalize Forbes contract on March 9 after a background check is completed, Tarrant said in her email. Forbes was named as the replacement for outgoing CEO Tom Tomasino, who announced this past summer he would not seek renewal of his contract after it ended in October 2015.
“He was willing to stay on the job until October, or resign earlier if the board found a replacement sooner,” Tarrant said in her emailed statement. When the board was close to making a hiring decision, Tarrant said Tomasino submitted a letter of resignation giving a new departure date of April 30, or sooner, at the board’s discretion. Tomasino will be leaving Whidbey General before Forbes starts. Tomasino will not receive a severance payout, but he will be compensated for accrued leave that he didn’t take, Tarrant said. There is no separation agreement between Tomasino and the hospital district, Tarrant wrote. The hospital district does plans to offer Tomasino a consulting contract to assist the transition to a new CEO, Tarrant said, but no specifics have been worked out to date. Aside from earning potentially $348,750 per year, Tarrant wrote, “Forbes will also receive compensation to assist with moving expenses from Florida and to defray the cost of health insurance coverage while waiting to become eligible for health insurance through the district.” Tarrant wrote that this is compensation offered physicians reloSEE CEO, A12

ACLU claims Whidbey hospital violates abortion law By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Whidbey General Hospital is violating the law by not providing abortion services, the American Civil Liberties Union claims. The civil-rights organization sent letters to Whidbey General and two other hospitals and filed a lawsuit against Skagit Regional Health last week in an effort to ensure that public hospitals are complying with the state’s abortion rights law. Hospital officials, however, feel they are satisfying the law by referring woman seeking abortions to other facilities and that the policy ensures the least amount of delay. “We take this issue very seriously and are reviewing the details of the ACLU letter,” a hospital spokesman wrote in a statement. “We are also ever-mindful of the fact that the law protects the religious and moral convictions of employees. What’s more, it outright prohibits hospitals from discriminating against employees or job candidates based on those convictions.” Under the Reproductive Privacy Act, public hospitals that provide maternity services must also provide “substantially equivalent” services for abortion. It also states that no person may be required by law or contract to participate in the performance of an abortion if the person objects to so doing. Whidbey General’s “reproductive healthcare policy,” which

are meant to ensure women have access to those services in the most timely manner possible. Mary Kay Clunies-Ross, a spokeswoman for the Washington State Hospital Association, said hospitals would need a team consisting of a physician, a nurse, an anesthesiologist and a technician to perform the procedure. She said it may be difficult at small hospitals to find members of the team willing to perform abortions. In addition, she said women shouldn’t have to wait for the team to assemble. Clunies-Ross said 99 percent of all abortions are done in a clinic setting and only 13 percent of women in the state live in counties without abortion providers. Clunies-Ross said public hospitals would be caught in a “Catch-22” if the courts side with the ACLU. Hospitals with maternity services would have to provide abortion services but couldn’t require any employees to participate. “For hospitals, the only way out of this conundrum may be to not provide maternity services,” she said, “and nobody wants that.”

it is required to have by law, states that “women who choose to voluntarily terminate a pregnancy will be provided a referral to a provider outside of Whidbey General Hospital.” The question likely to be settled in the Skagit County lawsuit is whether referrals to other facilities constitute “substantially equivalent” services. Leah Rutman, policy counsel for the ACLU, said the group argues that they do not and that the services must be offered by the hospital. Rutman said the ACLU supports women’s right to reproductive health care. She pointed out that the Reproductive Privacy Act states that “every woman has the fundamental right to choose or refuse to have an abortion.” While the ACLU has only filed a lawsuit against one of the hospitals, she said others could be filed if the organization feels it’s necessary. “Our goal is to ensure that women seeking reproductive healthcare services at Whidbey General Hospital have access to the full range of services as provided by law,” the ACLU letter states. Rutman said the ACLU is still investigating Whidbey General’s policy, including where women are being referred to. There is no Planned Parenthood facility on Whidbey Island. A spokeswoman for public hospitals, however, said Whidbey General and other hospitals understand that women have the right to choose to terminate pregnancies and that the policies

A South Whidbey woman had plenty of reason to watch and celebrate The Academy Awards show Feb. 22. Kitty Walker watched the whole program, starting with the red carpet, to see her granddaughter, Hannah Bagshawe, and grandson-in-law. Her granddaughter’s husband? Eddie Redmayne,
who starred in “The Theory of Everything” as theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking. “Wasn’t he excited? Yes, he was,” Walker said in a phone interview with The Record on Friday morning. “When he looked across at her and said, ‘I love you so much,’ he said that at their wedding. They’re a forever couple.” “I thought my granddaughter was absolutely beautiful, which she is,” she added. Walker, in her English accent, laughed often at the attention she has received in Langley at In the Country, the store she has worked at for the past six years. She’s been a South Whidbey resident for 17 years. Walker highly recommended watching “The Theory of Everything” and noticing Redmayne’s performance. “Then you’ll know why he won it,” she said. “He became Stephen Hawking. To this day, I don’t know how he did it.”
CORRECTION In the Wednesday, February 25 issue of The Record, the story “Langley City Council to revisit mayor’s salary” on page 1 incorrectly identified the mayor’s past duties. The position has always included the supervision of department heads. She said to pay close attention to his eyes. “They speak volumes,” she said. “Eddie is humble,” she added. “He’s great.”

at the 5:30 p.m. Monday, March 2, meeting. Selection criteria include the bid to use public space, setting specific hours and days of operation, and the menu. Applicants may also be subject to an interview by the mayor. The fee for the space, if approved, cost $100. Applications for a $100 food truck license, which is different from the RFP process, are available through the city now. Technically, a motorized food truck could operate on private property with only the $100 license. Davolio said his office has only been contacted a couple of times by prospective mobile food truck vendors. “We only need a couple to get this process started for others to see how viable this is,” Councilman Thomas Gill said. Council members asked how food carts, such as a rolling hot dog stand, would be governed. The current rules only regulate motorized mobile food vendors in city limits. “It sounds like we’re going to have a lot to talk about after this first year,” Davolio said. By ordinance, the mobile food trucks can operate during a season set by the city between Memorial Day weekend in late May and Labor Day weekend in early September.

Dog House appraisal outlines parameters for land swap By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The long awaited land appraisal for the Dog House Tavern is finally complete, and the solution to reopening the Langley landmark may be a “reduced value” property swap. Tavern owner Charlie Kleiner said in a phone interview that he and wife Janice Kleiner sent the appraisal to the city Feb. 24. “I have an engineer waiting, I have an architect waiting,” Charlie Kleiner said. “I’m just waiting for a building permit. We are held up on this property issue.” According to the appraisal by Jim Dodge, senior appraiser at Everett-based Macaulay and Associates, there are no known real estate transactions to compare with. Dodge wrote that because the proposal between the Kleiners and the city is for an exchange of property rather than money, “a specific value estimate is not necessary.” The Kleiners have asked the city for ownership of the 500-square-foot, 50-feet by 10-feet space under the building’s western exterior stairs and deck. The city owns an easement on the property for people to get in and out of the restaurant area of the building. The First Street door is for the lounge, which excludes

In exchange, the city would get property to add to Seawall Park, which the owners argue is worth more than the section under the stairs. Langley has requested that, if the city agrees to trade that property to the Kleiners, it remain undeveloped and that the stairs and deck remain intact. But Kleiner says the city’s requests seem more like demands. “They’ve got us over a barrel,” he said. “They tell us we’ve got to preserve that deck and staircase, we’ve got to preserve it.” Langley and the building owners have gone back

Healthy pets make happy homes More than a few doctors and psychologists have counseled patients to get a pet for company, and there are ample scientific studies to show why. Psychology Today reported in July 2011 that pets were “friends with benefits” and that caring for them and even thinking about them makes us happier and healthier. In one of the studies cited, pet owners were found to have more selfesteem, be more physically fit, less lonely, and more socially outgoing. The same pet owners reported feeling less fearful and less preoccupied than non-pet owners.

Movement is Medicine
It is also interesting to note that many of the people in the study reported feeling “supported” by their pets as much as they did by fellow humans. Contrary to what one might conclude, the study relates, people do not turn to pets because their human relationships failed. Rather, these animal-human relationships are an extension of their abilities to relate to others all around. Conversely, people who experienced difficulties in human relationships reported having a harder time relating to pets. Further along these lines, in a laboratory study in which subjects were induced to feel rejection, pet owners claimed to feel better, despite the rejection, when thinking of their best friend or of their pet. The obvious conclusion is that our pets help us to feel better, more valued, and useful.

Our viewpoint
Commitment to public beach access is well placed Improving public beach access in Island County took a big step forward this week. County representatives on the Sub-Regional Transportation Planning Organization on Wednesday agreed to earmark an additional $90,000 of federal transportation money for a total 2015 budget of $175,000 for the identification of existing public beach access. In so doing, the county demonstrated its commitment to preserving and maintaining a vital and seemingly ever shrinking public resource. Well done Island County, well done. In particular, Island Beach Access, a tireless citizenbased group of access warriors, and county officials such as Public Works Director Bill Oakes, should be recognized for their efforts. Island Beach Access members like South Whidbey’s Mike McVay have for years fought to maintain public beach accesses that have been claimed or absorbed by private property owners. Likewise, Oakes argued strongly Wednesday for the additional funding and made clear his belief that beach access is something worth spending money on, and perhaps fighting for when necessary. Indeed it is. Washington lawmakers decided long ago to sell much of its shorelines to private landowners, and those today who can’t afford a place on the water have been paying the price ever since. While states like Hawaii and Oregon have kept their beaches public, protected by law, the vast majority of Washington residents’ access to the water is limited to a few shoreline parks and slivers of property found at the end of public roads. And as the world’s population continues to grow, and more and more people clamor for their own piece of heaven, island real estate only becomes more valuable and harder to acquire. Identifying what the public already owns, and improving it for the public’s use is the goal behind the funding decision, and it couldn’t be a better one. Such resources are simply too rare, too precious to forget about or ignore, not when growth and development will only increase with time. Will Rogers once said, “Put your money in land, because they aren’t making any more of it.” He couldn’t have been more right, and Island County’s public and private advocates for beach access deserve our thanks.

Resist a ruinously pricey albatross Editor, Langley Mayor Fred McCar thy says the Langley-to-marina transportation method is required to be “the best possible solution for moving ... boaters with their gear in sufficient numbers to be both a safe and efficient form of transportation.” The mayor claims to have backed away from a funicular/elevator solution, but by framing the issue this way he is making a blatant attempt to guarantee that either the funicular or elevator is chosen. I know I’m repeating myself, but it’s important. There is absolutely no evidence that there are enough local boaters mooring at the marina to matter or that local boaters would do anything other than use their cars to move their stuff. Which do you think boaters would do: Drive their cars to the marina, dump supplies, park their car and walk back to the docks or use a funicular/ elevator? To do the latter, one would need to: • Park in downtown Langley, presumably at the church • Find a cart (presumably at the church) • Load up their supplies • Lug the cart to the funicular access point 400 feet away • Wait for the funicular/ elevator • Ride the funicular down • Unload their cart and wheel it to the marina • Load their supplies
onto their boat •Take cart back to the access point •Take the cart back to the parking lot •Repeat for further loads •At the end, take funicular back to marina and go boating •Reverse the process when getting back to the marina. It’s ridiculous to imagine anyone would do this. By making it a requirement, the mayor shows that he remains determined to saddle the city with a ruinously expensive albatross. The mayor never met a publicly funded grandiose idea he didn’t like. Remember the $10 million fairground event center? So far we’ve resisted him. I hope that continues. SHARON EMERSON Langley
Sound Waters was a big success Editor, Sound Waters is a oneday conference designed to bring together experts and citizens across Island County to share how we can live in harmony with our marine environment. Celebrating its 20th year on Feb. 7, more than 600 people attended this event

error has existed, but it may have been as long as three years. Apple used Google maps for its mobile navigation programs until 2012 when it began using its own system. Riddled with errors, Apple Maps made international headlines and prompted a public apology from company CEO Tim Cook. Apple’s iPhones claimed about 42 percent of the smartphone market in 2014 and, according to some reports, are so popular that nearly one in four Americans have one in their pocket. Repeated requests to Apple’s media department concerning this story and Wednesday’s

were not returned. Calculating any economic impacts from the foul-up are difficult to quantify, said Ron Nelson, executive director of the Island County Economic Development Council. Last year during July, August and September, Langley raked in $3.6 million in food and accommodation sales, and Island County $28.4 million. “Would it impact those numbers? Yeah,” Nelson said. “But how much I don’t know.” Price Johnson agreed, particularly considering the scale of the errors. “I wonder how many people are using Apple Maps if it’s that off,” she said. She owns an iPhone but said she doesn’t use the Maps program, preferring instead second party downloaded apps such as Google Maps. She speculated that she’s not alone, that many Apple customers use navigation programs with more reliable reputations, and indeed several online commenters echoed her sentiments. Yet, Nelson and the commissioner said the issue needs to be addressed. Nelson said his office would be sending Apple a letter asking it to fix the problem, and Price Johnson plans to bring the matter to the board at its Tuesday meeting next week. She also encouraged the public to contact Apple themselves. A private company, Apple has no obligation to make the fix, she said, but more requests won’t hurt. “If they aren’t responding to newspapers, maybe they’ll respond to more people reaching out to them,” Price Johnson said. Issues can be reported from mobile devices within the Maps program: once a location is selected, push the encircled “i” icon at the bottom of the page, select “report a problem” and then follow the onscreen instructions. You can also email Cook directly at tcook@ apple.com

Falcon coach takes job with CFL Montreal Alouettes By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Falcon football head coach Chris Tormey is one and done at South Whidbey High School. Tormey accepted a job as the linebackers coach for the Montreal Alouettes, a Canadian Football League. Despite a long career as a college coach, this is Tormey’s first stint working with professionals. “It kind of came out of the blue,” Tormey said in a phone interview Thursday morning. “But I’m really excited.” The Washington native said he reports to the team for the start of the season in late May and plans to split the year between Montreal and Whidbey, where he and his wife bought a home last year. Tormey came to Whidbey following his position as the defensive coordinator for the University of Wyoming’s football team. He was fired in the midst of the 2013 football season due to the team’s performance. The Falcons were searching for a football coach when athletic director Kelly Kirk got a surprising email from Tormey inquiring about the job. In Tormey’s only season at South Whidbey, the Falcons struggled to a 2-5 finish in Cascade Conference
play and went 2-8 overall. That record represented the worst finish in at least five years for South Whidbey, which consistently finished 4-6 or 5-5 in league games. The record painted an incomplete picture, however, as three of the losses came on a combined 13 points. A cadre of Falcons made the all-Cascade Conference lists, and senior running back Deven Damerau was voted the league’s co-offensive most valuable player. “The program really turned over after last year,” said Falcon athletic director Kelly Kirk. “We lost a dozen or so seniors and every one of them was critical to what was going on.” “He and his staff really did a great job of coaching kids up,” he added. In between coaching at a Division I college and a 1A high school, Tormey had attended a coaches convention and left his resume with the Alouettes. They hired someone else, and Tormey joined the Falcons. Earlier this year, the Alouettes came calling, interviewed Tormey and offered him a contract. It was a tough choice. “I had to make a decision to stay or whether to go,” Tormey said. “It

wasn’t easy.” Tormey is himself a former collegiate linebacker at the University of Idaho before becoming an assistant coach at the University of Washington. Taking another opportunity to work with between six and eight players professionally at his old position was a chance he couldn’t miss. “At the end of the day, I had to be true to myself,” he said. During his brief time with South Whidbey, Tormey oversaw a weightlifting class and the afterschool strength and conditioning program. Since his resignation from the Falcons, his former assistant coach Alex Heilig has taken over the reins. Tormey also credited the school district’s leadership and the high school’s administrators for supporting Falcon athletics. “If it’s a priority at the administrative level, (success) is going to happen eventually,” Tormey said. Kirk said he planned on hiring a coach by the school’s spring break in April. Stability in the coach and campaigning for the program are traits he’s looking for. “I tell this to all the coaches. You have to be a pied piper for your sport,” Kirk said.

Hip-Hop dancers Smash Brothaz to perform at WICA

Kate Daniel / The Record
The Vanderwoods practice a dance in the studio at Island Dance.
By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Graham and Zane Vanderwood may not have danced themselves out of the womb, but the two brothers do appear to have been born to moonwalk, pop and glide. The Vanderwoods, as well as their sister Andrea Burr, were born to a danceteacher mother. Each began dancing at South Whidbey’s Island Dance Academy at around age 5, and each has continued to practice the art form into adulthood. “When everyone else in your family is dancing, it just seems like a natural progression to
begin as well,” said Zane Vanderwood. The Vanderwoods established Smash Brothaz, a hip-hop dance duo which incorporates a medley of old school and contemporary favorites from MC Hammer and Michael Jackson to Calvin Harris and Kendrick Lamar. Zane Vanderwood explained that he could not recall the specific instance in which he and his brother decided upon the name. He speculated that it came about in part because of the fact that they often played the popular video game Smash Bros while growing up. “We’re really good at

Smash Bros,” Graham Vanderwood said. Next week, the brothers will take to the stage of Whidbey Island Center for the Arts along with a group of fellow dancers for a onenight performance. The event is part of WICA’s Local Artist Series. Each year, the organization chooses four local artists or groups to perform onstage free of all rental expenses. The group or artist then receives the profit of ticket sales for the evening. Smash Brothaz held auditions in September, inviting dance enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels to try out for the show. Though the turnout wasn’t quite

two will be performed by a guest group, Contagious, from Lynnwood. South Whidbey dancer Melyssa Smith may also be joining to perform two of her solos. Graham Vanderwood noted that he is usually not too impressed with contemporary hip-hop videos, and said that he and his brother try to incorporate more of a storyline, “something original, more interesting,” into their dances as opposed to solely showing off their moves. For the first segment of the show, the brothers will be dancing to a story nar-
rated by their friend Jon Bryant. They explained that the story is about the brothers’ trip on a time machine. “You’ve never seen anything like that,” Graham Vanderwood said. “Even the fact that one of our dances is to old Zapp and Roger music is different. People never use that stuff.” Zane Vanderwood will be heading off to college in the fall, and explained that this will likely be the last time Smash Brothaz will perform for quite some time. “I hope it’s not the last time we do this, but it could be the last time for quite a while at least,” Zane Vanderwood said. Though he said he would like to pursue dance professionally, he explained that he doesn’t believe it to be a feasible career choice. He is planning to major in economics, but will continue to dance as a hobby. “It gives me a separate identity to a certain extent. And it gives me something to do,” said Zane Vanderwood of the art form. “I’m pretty introverted. …I think if I didn’t have dance, I would never leave home so that’s also a plus.” “It brings you something to look forward to in life,” Graham Vanderwood said. He added that being without his brother will be difficult, though both said they have been focusing on the show and trying not to think too much about it. “I’m lucky to have Zane around,” Graham Vanderwood said. “There’s nobody else that can fill his shoes.”

Obituaries
Donald Norman Wilkins
Donald Norman Wilkins
Donald Norman Wilkins, 83, of Greenbank, Wash., died Feb. 13, 2015, at home after a brief illness. Don was born Jan. 17, 1932, in London, England, to Agnes (Gray) and William “Jack” Wilkins. Upon leaving school, Don was given this reference by the school headmaster: “A lad who has worked to the best of his ability, his strong subjects being on the practical side. He is a well-built boy who is usually quiet.” With that resounding approval, he went off into the world. After a year at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Don sought excitement and world travel on the high seas. He joined the Merchant Navy and became one of the now infamous “Vindiboys.” His early maritime adventures sparked a lifelong passion for sailing. During one of his visits back to London, he attended a dance at the Ritz ballroom and met Brenda Mumford. They were married Oct. 16, 1954 and immigrated to Toronto, Canada, the same day. By the mid-’60s, Don and Brenda had settled in Palo Alto, Calif., and were busy with their two children and running a small business. Continuing his interest in theater, Don served as president of several theater groups, including the Palo Alto Players. He also performed and directed in many community theater productions throughout the Bay Area. In the ’70s and ’80s, Don teamed with fellow countryman and actor Brian Lucas, performing British sketch comedy, twice winning the San Francisco Comedy Intersection Award. Don and Brenda retired to Whidbey Island in 1997,
allowing Don to devote even more time to theater pursuits. He directed more than a dozen plays for Whidbey Playhouse and Whidbey Island Center for the Arts. Don also wrote a memoir, “Lest We Forget,” comprised of 50 stories of his years as a child in World War II in London. More recently, he had performed excerpts from the memoir as a theater fundraiser. He also enjoyed sharing his stories in writing classes at local elementary schools. Don will be remembered best as a great storyteller and entertainer. Whether sharing a story with his grandchildren about his time at “Hogwarts” (Don went to primary school at the abbey that served as a location for the Harry Potter movies), performing magic tricks for decades of birthday parties, spinning a tall tale with his theater compatriots or simply making a stranger laugh, Don always had an unwavering outlook and a joke for every occasion. Don is survived by his wife of 60 years, Brenda; his daughter, Kimberley, and son-in-law, Robert Haskitt, of Snoqualmie; son, John, of Everett; and grandchildren, Chris Wilkins, Tristan Wilkins, Hayley, Griffin and Gemma Haskitt; brother, Alan Wilkins; and other family still in England. He is predeceased by his parents and older brother Jack. All who knew Don are invited to a celebration of his life March 29, 2015. Please send an email to apintfor Don@gmail.com for location and time. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Don’s name to WAIF (Whidbey Animals Improvement Foundation), P.O. Box 1108, Coupeville, WA 98239-1108.

She is survived by her husband of 36 years, Robert Smith; her children, Lois and Darrell Wenzek, of Freeland, Steve and Katy Hagar, of Denver, Colo., and Doug Hagar, of Fort Knox; she was preceded in death by a son, Lynn Smith. She is also survived by a number of grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She delighted in being referred to as “mom.” She was the kind of person who loved to be involved with the people around her and did not mind when they called her “mom.” Mom was a picture of health for most of her life. She would comment about how she was going to live to be 100. She would sometimes even ask the doctors who cared for her if they thought she might make it that far; the answer was always, “A person in your health should have no problem.” The last few months of life were troubling for her; she had a fall that caused an infection in her leg, which needed to be treated. Shortly after that, she spent a couple nights in the hospital with congenital heart failure; a prescription seemed to restore her to a measure of health. Soon, she discovered a greater nemesis to her health, and within weeks of the discovery of pancreatic cancer, she succumbed to the cancer. As a child, she moved to Whittier, Calif., where she met her future husband, Robert; ironically, they played together as children. They both proceeded in different directions, even though Jeanne worked at Whittier Citrus, an occupation she would eventually share with her husband in central California, where she would keep the books for the groves and pull irrigation lines, using a four wheeler. She graduated from Whittier High School and attended beauty college. After her training, she would work as a beautician and even taught beautician classes in Fresno. Most of her beautician career was spent at a place called “Cut and Curl,” in Visalia, Calif. She also had a small private studio from which she worked out of her home in Exeter, Calif. In 1990, Jeanne and her husband, Bob, called an end to their labors in the grove. They moved to Coos Bay, Ore., in 1990. She enjoyed firing ceramics, collecting Indian art and boating with her husband. She became quite a fisherwoman. In 1997, they decided to move
closer to their children on Whidbey Island, where they eventually built a house at Lagoon Point. While on Whidbey, Jeanne worked as a real estate agent for John L. Scott but mainly for Windermere. They greatly missed their many friends in Coos Bay and moved back in 1999. Once again, they took up fishing and traveling, including a number of cruises. Another great occupation was working with women’s groups in three different churches in Coos Bay. She not only prepared Bible study materials, but was intimately involved in the lives of many in her study groups. They too came to know her as “mom.” The last three years of her life were spent back on Whidbey Island in order to be closer to her daughter. She lived at Mutiny Sands and the Double Bluff area briefly. While here, she became a member of the South Whidbey Community Church and spent time with family and friends. The memorial service will be at 1 p.m. Monday, March 2, at 5700 Double Bluff Road, Freeland.

Ronald Andrew Buzard passed away surrounded by

family Feb. 2, 2015, after a brief illness. He was 83 years old. Ronald Buzard was born the second of four children in Seattle June 17, 1931, to Lyman and Frances Buzard. Ron graduated from Seattle Preparatory School and completed his Catholic education at Seattle University. A career in the Air Force ignited a love of flying, and he owned two Mooney airplanes during his lifetime. Ron’s impressive sales career started early with the family-owned Bar S and Cudahy Meats, continued into retail swimsuit sales, transitioned to real estate sales and concluded in vacation ownership. His sales accomplishments span decades: He sold lots at Holmes Harbor Golf Club, Ocean Shores and Sudden Valley in the 1960s and 1970s; he was developer of The Glen at Maple Falls; and he was integral to developing Thousand Trails and American Adventure. In the early 1980s, Ron completed a lifelong dream, opening “Buzz’s Wharf,” his own restaurant complete with piano bar located at beautiful Bush Point on Whidbey Island. Ron’s career culminated at Trendwest Resorts with his good friend and longtime colleague Bill Peare. Together, their team grew the company exponentially, becoming Trendwest/ Worldmark shortly before going public. Ron served as the vice president of sales and broker of record, overseeing sales and real estate operations for the entire company. Ron’s integrity, mentorship and passion for customer service inspired the Ron Buzard Service Award, awarded annually to the Trendwest sales office with the highest customer satisfaction rating. Ron loved being surrounded with family and friends. His favorite places were Whidbey Island, where he and wife Lori retired, and
Maui. Some of his most treasured memories are family trips to Hawaii with his wife, daughters and grandchildren. His tight-knit group of friends — known as the “Golf Group” — used golf as an excuse to travel together several times a year, playing golf on beautiful courses and fully enjoying life. Ron was loving, wise and respected by all who knew him. He “never met a stranger,” and those fortunate enough to call him a friend were lucky indeed. Ron loved to build things, as evidenced by his custom shop and extravagant tool collection. As soon as the sun started shining, you could find him on his John Deere mowing his beautiful lawn or driving his golf cart to and from the beach in pursuit of Dungeness crab. Ron is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Lori Longwood Buzard; daughters, Lori Buzard Reece, Mindy Buzard Babb, Catherine Crosslin, Kelly Crosslin Frere (husband Chris); beautiful grandchildren, Isabella Babb, Gracen Babb, Bailee Frere and Brooks Frere; numerous nieces and nephews; brother, Cliff Buzard (wife Diana); and sister, Mary Coupe (husband Tom). He was preceded in death by his brother, Gene Buzard. A memorial and remembrance for Ronald Buzard will be held at noon Friday, March 20, at St. Hubert Catholic Church in Langley on Whidbey Island. Reception to follow at Useless Bay Golf & Country Club. Memorials may be made in Ron’s name to The Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation (WAIF), www.waifanimals. org.

BEACH ACCESS CONTINUED FROM A1
Residents told county officials that creating an effective kayak trail would be great for the area’s economy and provide protections to public beach access points. “The one thing everyone overlooks is the economic benefit of that,” said Mike McVay with Island Beach Access. “Everything the chamber puts out brags about our beaches.” Originally funded at $85,000, an additional $90,000 was made available through federal transporta-
tion dollars and approved by the county’s Sub-Regional Transportation Planning Organization Wednesday. Island County Public Works Director Bill Oakes said counties often struggle to obligate enough federal projects to satisfy the state and are charged to go back and try to find additional qualifying projects. In response, the county has tried to incorporate additional possibilities, such as the extra $90,000 intended for non-motorized transportation. “The federal government wants us to spend the money,” said Todd Carlson, a planning and engineering ser vices manager
CLASSES ON WHIDBEY
for the state Department of Transpor tation at Wednesday’s meeting. However, “local governments have a harder time spending it than state governments,” he said. Oakes made the case that using this for beach access allows the county to address a long-standing community concern. “The old vision was truly going to be an update of the existing plan,” Oakes said. “It’s time to update and I’m saying that rather than using the plan to put a check in a box, let’s use it to fix a problem we all have. Getting people to the water in an island community is important. I think it’s a good investment.” Oakes said county-owned properties have good acces-

sibility to the water, and parking possibilities would go to the top of the list for improvements. While a couple elements of the project must still get past Island County commissioners, Oakes said he felt confident that it would receive support. Commissioners Jill Johnson and Rick Hannold both sit on the Sub-RTPO board and voted in favor of the project, and Commissioner Helen Price Johnson has been a longtime champion of beach access. Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, who also sits on the Sub-RTPO board, said that a number of people on the South End of the island are passionate about retaining beach access and he made a motion in support
of the update. The Sub-RTPO, comprised of representatives from Island County’s governmental bodies, approved the updated transportation element with two abstentions and one dissenting vote by Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley. Dudley voted against the increased funding because he said he believes the county is simply scrambling for a reason to spend extra tax dollars and that the board can “choose to give back money we don’t use.” “My concern was it looked like we felt compelled to find something, anything to throw money at,” Dudley added Thursday. “It’s creating justification in finding a place to throw $90,000.” Oak Harbor Councilman Rick Almberg, who
abstained from voting, said he wasn’t sure the beach access was the best use of the non-motorized funding. The second abstention was Navy liaison Jennifer Myers, who always abstains. Johnson, who chairs the Sub-RTPO, pointed out that the project could cause “potential conflicts” with adjacent property owners. In addition, Johnson was concerned that new information on “cloudy titles” will force the county to “look the other way” if they don’t have the resources to follow through on the legal ramifications. The county is currently in litigation regarding a public access point on Wonn Road, where a neighbor claims to own the tidal lands.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN.
Week of March 1 to 7, 2015 ARIES
If you’re the least bit dissatisfied with your professional life, it won’t take much for you to start looking for another job that is better suited to you.
TAURUS
You have lots of things to settle at home or within the family. When the tension has eased, you soon get over any hard feelings you’ve been carrying towards family members or your lover.
GEMINI
If you go on a shopping spree, you’ll have lots of questions about your new belongings. You have some travelling around to do before you’re completely satisfied.
CANCER
This week is filled with pleasure. You may get your hands on some money, which allows you to splurge a bit.
LEO
There’s quite a bit of action going on around you. It would be good for you to get out of the house just to have a break in your routine. Some self-assertiveness on your part helps you recover a sense of harmony.
VIRGO
You’re fairly distracted. Perhaps this is because you’re a bit tired. If that’s the case, you simply need to rest and recharge your batteries.
LIBRA
You end up with a pile of work to deal with at the office. This motivates you to be better organized and improve your efficiency.
SCORPIO
Fun is on the agenda, but soon enough you’ll be involved in something much more serious. A promotion is in the air. You begin a new life with a promising future.
SAGITTARIUS
You’re fairly excited at the idea of going on a trip soon. You finally manage to find the necessary time and money to treat yourself to a well-deserved vacation.
CAPRICORN
There are moments in life when you just want to cringe. This is a sign that you need to make some changes.You’ll soon be full of smiles.
AQUARIUS
You have to make some compromises so you can re-establish harmony at home as well as at work. You finalize some agreements that lead to lots of responsibilities.
PISCES
This week is devoted to work. If you’re looking for a job, you find a challenging position with great future prospects.
portant to listen to your inner voice, which will guide you in the right direction.
