CLINTON: AVAILABLE FOR LEASE ‘Ghost town’ feel a concern for community, business leaders

Ben Watanabe / The Record

Barb Taylor checks out one of the vacancies near her business in a shopping center in Clinton. Price didn’t seem to be a deterrent at less than $1 per square foot per month with a water view.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Drive on Highway 525 into Clinton, and the “for lease” signs dot the roadway left and right. There’s space available, high visibility and frequent traffic. Yet Clinton, the southern

gateway to Whidbey Island that sees hundreds of thousands of passersby every year, struggles to fill its ample vacancies. While commerce dwindled, some business owners saw drug deals and other crime increase in the empty parking lots. “We need to have something in these plac-

es, in these empty spots,” said Jason Kalk, owner of Lincoln Computers in Clinton. “If not, the whole ghost town feeling kind of becomes a little bit more ripe for crime and things like that.” Members of the Clinton Community Council, a volunteer board put together to

try and represent the unincorporated area better with the state and county and push for improvements, are looking at traffic mitigation as a key to invigorating the commercial core. Recently, the council has started SEE CLINTON, A20

County proposes Diking District 4 tax; meeting planned for next weekend By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

Justin Burnett / The Record

Maintaining the dike at Deer Lagoon may cost diking district residents next year as the county is proposing an assessment.

Deer Lagoon residents who reside within Diking Improvement District 4 may see their property tax bills increase next year. District officials are proposing a flat $238 assessment for the approximately 200 parcels within the district boundaries. The fee would be levied once; the revenue is expected to last five years, paying for maintenance and recent

repairs of infrastructure. A public meeting to discuss the assessment is at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 10 at the Useless Bay Country Club, 5725 Country Club Drive just south of Freeland. The diking district is unique in that it’s the only diking district on Whidbey or Camano islands that’s under county control. SEE DISTRICT, A20

Sea star populations make slow recovery from disease By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Sea stars around Whidbey Island are making a slow recovery after the effects of a deadly disease wiped out millions of them over the past year. Locals who frequent the shores and sea floor of Puget Sound are seeing a new, healthy population of sea stars. “So far we don’t see wasting sea stars around Whidbey, and we all hope it will stay that way,” said Jan Kocian, a Langley diver. “Of course, the numbers are still way down and certain species of sea stars are still missing, especially the Sunflower star.” Initially puzzled by the phenomena, scientists finally pin-pointed the pathogen causing the sea star wasting disease late in 2014. Called “densovirus,” the illness causes a deflated appearance followed by rapid deterioration, according to the University of California Santa Cruz, which has been recording the phenomena internationally. The symptoms, which were first reported in June 2013 in Olympic National Park, include the appearance of lesions on the sea star’s skin, followed by decay of tissue that leads to its body falling apart and eventually death. From information aggregated from all over the Pacific Northwest, UCSC is also reporting that the tide has turned in some areas for the sea star. However, “sea stars with symp-

In Washington, UCSC has citizen scientists reporting that they are seeing only healthy sea stars and in a few areas, substantial

State waives license for free fishing Each year, thousands of Washingtonians go fishing – legally – without a license. How? By taking advantage of ‘Free Fishing Weekend,’ scheduled for June 6-7. During those two days, no license will be required to fish or gather shellfish in any waters open to fishing in Washington. Also, no vehicle access pass or Discover Pass will be required during Free Fishing Weekend to park at any of the nearly 700 water-access sites maintained by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Anglers will not need a Two Pole Endorsement to fish with two poles on selected waters where twopole fishing is permitted. Anglers will also not need a Columbia River Salmon and Steelhead Endorsement, otherwise required to fish for salmon and steelhead in the Columbia River and its tributaries. “Free Fishing Weekend is a great time to try fishing in Washington, whether

you are new to the sport, have not taken up a rod and reel in years, or want to introduce a friend or young family member to the sport,” said Chris Donley, a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife inland fish program manager. Anglers have been catching daily limits of trout at lakes for the past month, and many rivers will open to trout fishing June 6 throughout the state. While no licenses are required on Free Fishing

Weekend, other rules such as size limits, bag limits and closures will still be in effect. Anglers will also be required to complete a catch record card for any salmon or steelhead they catch. Catch record cards are available free at hundreds of sporting goods stores and other license dealers throughout the state.

Crabbing season to open soon in select Washington areas Summer crabbing season will start early in some areas of the state next week, but Whidbey Island crabbers can expect a July opening. Crabbing in Marine Area 13, which is south of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, begins June 1. Most other areas of the Sound will open for recreational crab fishing July 2, although two areas around the San Juan Islands open later in summer to protect molting crab. Recent test fisheries indicate that crab in southern Puget Sound are in hard-shell condition, allowing for an early start to the fishing season in that area, said Rich Childers, shellfish policy lead for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Sport crabbers in that area have fallen short of reaching their catch quota in recent years, so we can afford to give them more time to fish during the upcoming season,” Childers said. “Over the next couple of weeks we will continue to conduct test fisheries in Puget Sound, where we could open a few other areas to sport crabbing earlier than currently scheduled.”

since early May, they haven’t seen any signs of star wasting disease. “The signs are good,” Seablom said.

Crabbers should check the department’s website for any announcements, Childers said. Marine area 8-1, which encompasses Deception Pass to East Point, and area 8-2, which encompasses East Point to Possession Point, open July 2 through Sept. 7. Crabbing is allowed Thursdays through Mondays each week; closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Crab fishers may not set or pull shellfish gear from a vessel from one hour after official sunset to one hour before official sunrise. All shellfish gear must be removed from the water on closed days. Childers reminds Puget Sound crabbers that they are required to record their harvest of Dungeness crab on their catch record cards immediately after retaining crab. Separate catch record cards are issued for the summer and winter seasons. The daily limit for crab fishers throughout Puget Sound is five Dungeness crab, males only, in hard-shell condition with a minimum carapace width of six and one-fourth inches. Fishers may catch six red rock crab of either sex per day, provided those crab measure at least 5 inches across. Seasons for the upcoming fishery are posted on WDFW’s crab fishing website at http://wdfw. wa.gov/fishing/shellfish/crab.

WEATHER REPORT | Foggy mornings today and Sunday clear up by midday. Showers Monday, Tuesday.

WHIDBEY Beware of IRS phone scammers South Whidbey residents should be wary of an ongoing telephone scam involving phony federal and local authorities, according to island police. Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office confirmed this week recent reports of residents being contacted by the Internal Revenue Service. People are told they owe money or are being sued, and then are asked for personal information and money. Despite sounding convincing, they are not legitimate notices or alerts. “The IRS doesn’t work like that,” Wallace said. Langley resident Debra Moore was one of those recently contacted.

She was left a message and directed to call a Whidbey Island number. She followed the directions, but it was quickly apparent something wasn’t right; background noise was not what one would expect at an official IRS office, and the man hung up on her when she questioned his request for personal information. Moore said the scam was deplorable. Not only does it prey on people’s trust in a federal agency, but the initial message was both convincing and alarming. “It’s just a mean thing to do,” she said. Such scams can be common around tax time, police said. The sheriff’s office has also gotten similar reports of people being contacted by claimed law enforcement officers, Wallace said. Following the same pattern, they ask for personal information and money.

PORT No movement on AT&T cell tower A controversial deal with the Port of South Whidbey and AT&T for a cell tower may soon be defunct. Port commissioners this week agreed to issue the mobile phone company a notice of default on the contract due to years of inaction. “We’re in a position now that we don’t feel they are going to fol-

low through with this,” said Commissioner Curt Gordon, in a telephone interview with The Record on Friday. The contract was to lease port property on the ridge above Sandy Hook to AT&T for construction of a cell tower. The deal, which was signed several years ago, peeved residents who didn’t like the idea of tower near their homes and an area trail. According to Gordon, the agreement required that the company begin construction within five years, but despite working with three subcontractors, it has yet to make any progress securing county permits. The port’s letter gives the cell company 60 days to make some headway, Gordon said. While he maintained improved cell coverage is something the port desires, it just didn’t make sense to tie up property that won’t be utilized. “There’s no sense keeping a lease with people aren’t going to do anything,” he said.

restrictions in May, and agreed then to consider the issue further. A two-week limit with a possible extension every six months was proposed by Langley Police Chief Dave Marks and Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio. The council is expected to vote on the ordinance amending a section of Langley Municipal Code at its regular meeting on June 1. Also on the agenda, a land swap is proposed for a remodel of the Star Store entrance on Second Street. In a memo from Public Works Director Stan Berryman, part of the existing Star Store structures are on the McLeod Alley right of way. To have room for the improvements, the store’s owners are asking for an equal land exchange that would require a right-ofway vacation by the city. “As the vacation will result in a significant improvement of the Star Store with no loss of public right of way, the staff recommends approval of the resolution and the vacation,” Berryman wrote in the memo. Additional business licenses are being proposed for the city. One is for a seasonal license of 90 days, which would cover food truck vendors. Temporary business licenses would be for up to 10 days and renewed up to another two 10-day periods each year.

Clinton violinist accepted to Juilliard Clinton resident Mira Yamamoto has been admitted to the prestigious Juilliard School. Yamamoto was one of 10-12 undergraduate violinists accepted to the school for the 2015-16 school year. Langley resident Gloria FerryBrennan, with whom she began studying Suzuki Method violin lessons at age three, was also accepted but chose to attend Curtis Institute in Philadelphia instead. Juilliard offers degrees in dance and drama, but its music division is by far the largest and most diverse, with approximately 600 students from more than 40 countries. “I was super touched by all of the texts, emails and messages I got from my friends, family and teacher,” said Yamamoto, in a recent press release. “I received so many messages of affirmation and support on the days leading up to my audition, and every one of them helped.” Yamamoto’s first music teacher

Yamamoto has a lengthy resume that ranges from her first solo performance with a professional orchestra at age 9 to having studied with the Professor of Violin at the University of Washington, Ronald Patterson, and attending the Heifetz

International Music Institute, where Yamamoto was selected to perform on NPR’s series “Stars of Tomorrow” at age 16. “These students have been diligent and dedicated in the pursuit of learning violin and music,” Good said, according to the release. Good added that both of the girls have had the support of their families and community throughout their lives. Yamamoto concurred, saying that her mother was a “superhero” cheering her on through the audition process in New York. Yamamoto will leave for Manhattan in August. “I want to solo with every top tier orchestra in the country, win some competitions, sign a recording contract (or a few) and after that I’d like to spread music to underserved communities; places that don’t get live music on a regular basis,” Yamamoto said.

Bayview-planted Taproot architect gets magazine spotlight Matthew Swett and his work as the architect and owner of Taproot Architects will be featured in a national publication. The June issue of Fine Homebuilding magazine will include a story on a home in Coupeville he designed to be “net zero and neighborhood friendly.” According to a news release, the Penn Cove home has a 5 kilowatt photovoltaic solar array to require less energy as a 5-Star Built Green home. Swett and partner Sarah Birger founded Taproot Architects in 2001 with an office in Bayview across the street from Good Cheer Food Bank. Taproot also recently received an award from the Everett Historical Commission. Swett

Editorial

Clinton is in our hands

What does the future hold for downtown Clinton? Are its economic glory days gone forever or will it see a commercial resurgence and a return to prosperity? It’s a question community leaders have struggled to answer for years, and they’ve made strides in identifying solutions and long-term strategies to combat the area’s steady economic decline. But, ultimately, we believe no effort can succeed without the ongoing support of area residents and property owners. Clinton’s fate rests in all of our hands. Functions such as Clinton Future Search Conference, and organizations like the Clinton Community Council and chamber of commerce have worked hard to turn things around. They’ve not only brought the conversation of revitalization to the forefront, but their efforts have seen the birth of the seasonal Clinton Thursday Market, and the forging of partnerships and levied support from government, such as the Port of South Whidbey. While the port is currently working on a market study to identify industries most likely to succeed in Clinton, many of the collective efforts so far have focused on slowing ferry traffic — fancy flashing radar speed signs and lately the community council’s hopes for a roundabout on Highway 525, the busy state route that bisects the town. Improving the area’s walkability is a worthy goal indeed, but it’s not a fix-all solution. To be successful, commercial property owners and area residents must play a greater role in their own salvation. Downtown is currently peppered with vacant storefronts, some of which are in key locations, and nothing could warn prospective business owners away more than a string of empty commercial spaces. They’re a cancer, a warning sign that screams “Don’t invest here, Clinton is closed.” Getting property owners to the discussion table and finding ways to help them attract new businesses is an essential key to unlocking the area’s economic success. Clinton has been graced recently with some brave new businesses, however: Blueschool Arts, Make Whidbey and South Island Crossfit, which recently moved from Freeland, to name a few. If South Whidbey residents want to see the area rebound and return to a state of commercial relevance, the courage of entrepreneurs must be answered with community patronage. A business that relies on charity support will never survive — they must have something people want — but we all make choices about where to spend our hard earned dough. So if you care about Clinton’s fate, choose to get a brew or burger at Cozy’s, buy a car at one of the used car lots instead of heading to Everett, or learn some cool moves at Armstrong’s Taekwondo. Working to slack the ever-constant 30-minute ferry traffic tide will undoubtedly make a difference in Clinton’s economic recovery, but the future also depends on each and every one of us.

Museum in downtown Bellingham was the perfect venue on Thursday, May 7, for some well-deserved recognition and appreciation. A representative group of Langley Main Street leaders and volunteers rose from their seats on three separate occasions and accepted beautifully framed certificates and the applause of their peers for their transformational efforts in Langley. The event was capped by, as the lights dimmed and the museum director fired up the ceiling-mounted lightening bolt generator, sending arcs of electricity around the room and bringing a box of fluorescent tubes of inert gas to life in time with the driving music. It was nothing short of

spectacular to end a memorable day in this manner. I recall the inspirational speakers, passionate presenters, and tours of obscure and quirky Bellingham businesses in the Alley District. Three messages keep resurfacing in my consciousness. They called it the “The Triple Bottom Line: 1. People, 2. Environment and 3.

15-inning state playoff pushes SWHS toward title

South Whidbey baseball players celebrate after winning a 15-inning game against Seattle Christian in the first round of the state 1A tournament May 23 in Anacortes.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record History will be made when South Whidbey baseball plays for the state championship. The Falcons defeated the Cashmere Bulldogs 3-0 on Friday morning to advance to the state 1A championship game on Saturday, May 30. It is the first time in South Whidbey High School history and in recent memory that the baseball team reached the title match. South Whidbey took a first-inning lead after junior leadoff hitter Ricky Muzzy singled and was scored on a RBI single into right field by senior pitcher Mo Hamsa. The Falcons padded the lead in the fifth with freshman Taylor Brown pinch running for senior Trent Fallon and scoring from first base on a hit by junior Charlie Patterson. The

third run came in the seventh on a squeeze hit by sophomore Connor Antich to score sophmore Will Simms. Facing the top of Cashmere’s order in the seventh inning, Muzzy gave up a double but stranded the Bulldog runner there with back to-back outs to secure their entry to the championship game. “There was a bit of a celebration,” Falcon head coach Tom Fallon said in a phone interview after the game in Yakima on Friday. The win was a major departure from the victories that got them there the previous weekend. Having already survived a 14-inning epic in the previous playoff series, adding one more inning in the opening round of the state 1A baseball tournament was just another game

for South Whidbey this past weekend. South Whidbey won a 15-inning battle 6-5 with Seattle Christian in the first round. In the second game in Anacortes on May 23, South Whidbey took a first-inning lead and held on 3-1 over Cascade Christian to reach the semifinal round. Being a game away from the championship bout is the furthest any South Whidbey High School baseball team has ever reached, according to the team’s head coach who played for one of the first squads back in the early 1980s. “It’s definitely an accomplishment,” Hamsa said Wednesday during the team’s final home practice. “I’m enormously proud of the coaching staff and these guys. Beginning of the year we weren’t winning many games, and people not on the team were doubting us and saying,

Madsen single sends softball to state By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Lots of children dream of their shining moment, that chance to be a hero. When the moment came for Anne Madsen, she delivered, and now her South Whidbey softball team is headed to the state tournament for the first time in recent memory. The Falcon fastpitch squad won three of four 1A bi-district games May 21 and 23 to punch its ticket to the state tournament, the first time South Whidbey has qualified in more than a decade. And they did so in dramatic fashion. Playing for the final berth against Nooksack Valley with the game tied at 2-2, Madsen hit a game-winning blooper. The ball dinged off the bat and fell between the pitcher, shortstop and second baseman to score Aria Ludtke and send South Whidbey to Richland for the

state tournament. “I’m like, ‘I have to make it to first,’” said Madsen during the team’s last home practice of the season Wednesday before heading to Richland on Thursday. “I honestly did not realize that was it. I thought we were going to have to go back out there, then I realized everybody was cheering and was like, ‘Ahhhh!’” With that hit, South Whidbey punched its ticket to compete for the state title. “It was scary, but I believed in Anne,” said Falcon freshman pitcher Mackenzee Collins. “Anne’s a great hitter.” The win represented a remarkable turnaround in the postseason. South Whidbey finished near the bottom of the Cascade Conference standings with a 5-13 record in league play and 7-13 overall. “We all needed to find where we are

most strongest at and really use it for the team,” Madsen said. “They’ve all done really great, especially without having a break with subs.” South Whidbey’s performance at the end of the regular season and in the playoffs was another story. In the final two weeks of the regular season, the Falcons won three out of four games. They won their first-round game in the 1A District 1/2 tournament 5-0 against Forest Ridge behind the pitching of freshman Mackenzee Collins, who struck out 17 batters and allowed only one hit and a pair of walks. “Those last games, I think it was more, kind of, our attitude,” Collins said. “We all wanted to win, it was more we didn’t expect to. When we started to get going, it was like, ‘We can do this.’” Three Falcons went 2-for-3 at the SEE SOFTBALL, A9

‘They might not be that good this year.’ We responded, we heard that and came back with ‘This is our team, and we’re going to win games.’ ” Things looked bleak for South Whidbey in that first game. After giving up three runs, largely on errors, in the seventh inning, Seattle Christian scored another to take the lead and claim victory. Seattle Christian players celebrated on the field before an umpires gathering reversed a call to extend the game to extra innings. “I thought it was over, then they called me back out,” said Muzzy, who was on the mound at the time. “It was an emotional roller coaster, to say the least.” Fallon spoke with the umps about the SEE TITLE, A9

Klein finishes 14th in 1A

Girls golfers take second place

Falcon boys golfer Anton Klein finished in 14th place after recovering from a rocky firstround start in the state 1A tournament May 27-28 in Pasco. Klein, a junior, shot an 80 the first round and recovered with a 74 on day two. His second round score alone would have put him in the top 10, but the higher first-round card of 80 strokes bumped him lower in the total. Klein was joined at the state tournament by teammate Thorin Helmersen, who shot a 92 on the first round and missed the second-round cut by eight strokes.

South Whidbey girls golf narrowly missed out on a team title at the state 1A tournament Thursday and finished in second place. The Falcons were paced by junior Tarra Moore’s 168 strokes, including a team-best 81 strokes on the second day. Rosie Portillo, a three-time state tournament golfer, shot an 84 on the first day and followed with 86 on day two. Falcon freshman Kolby Heggenes was the model of consistency with an 88 each day. Grace Stringer, a senior, shot a 91 and a 95. South Whidbey was edged out of first place by Cascade Conference rival King’s.

Early scores dump boys soccer from state By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record A pair of goals around the 20-minute mark put Bellevue Christian ahead in the second round of the state 1A boys soccer tournament against South Whidbey, and the Falcons were unable to tie the game in Covington at Tahoma High School on May 23. Falling behind that deeply and quickly was unusual for South Whidbey, which had previously allowed only two goals in the postseason and only eight in the regular season through 16 matches. “ll of sudden 25 minutes into the game, we're two goals down, which has not happened except for maybe against Archbishop Murphy,” said Falcon cohead coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins. “It was a very uncharacteristic defensive mistake,” he added.

call, one in which the ball went out of play and should have stopped the runner from reaching home. The umps agreed, halting Seattle Christian’s premature celebration and extending the game past the seventh inning. Fallon said the timeout allowed the players to refocus from nearly blowing a 5-1 lead in the final frame as they went into extra frames. “It’s hard to even relive,” Fallon said Wednesday after a deep sigh. Muzzy held Seattle Christian scoreless through

South Whidbey answered near the end of the first half on a cross by senior Jeff Meier to senior Davin Kesler. “Davin just willed it in basically,” Robbins said. Trailing 2-1 going into the second half, Robbins said the Falcons were confident they could come back. South Whidbey took a free kick about 30 yards out from its own goal, with keeper Charley Stelling booting the ball. Bellevue Christian won the ball, noticed Stelling was still well off the goal line and booted a 40-yard shot past him. “It brushes the tops of his fingers and goes in,” Robbins said. “It was a great shot but wasn't a shot a kid's going to hit with any consistency. That was the nail in the coffin.” Changing the formation with about 20 minutes remaining to get another goal, the switch worked. Falcon senior

Hamsa, threw six innings before moving to first base, led with a single. The Seattle Christian starting pitcher was pulled — after 12 innings on the mound — and Falcon senior catcher Brent Piehler sacrificed to move Hamsa to second base. A defensive interference call sent Hamsa to third base. Charlie Patterson, a junior outfielder, reached first base and intentionally got in a pickle during a quick jump to second base. Hamsa used the diversion to score, giving South Whidbey the

forward Kai da Rosa dribbled through several defenders and passed to senior defender Bryce Auburn for the Falcons' second goal. “They’re deer in the headlights at this point,” said Robbins of Bellevue Christian. “Unfortunately, not enough time left.” South Whidbey (11-3-0 Cascade Conference, 17-5-0 overall) wrapped its season in the second round of the state 1A tournament for the second time in a row. The Falcons started with injured senior Andy Zisette on the field, Robbins said, but he was quickly pulled after noticing discomfort in his hip. “There was never any quit in these guys. Never,” Robbins said. “It’s going to be a long time before there's a team at South Whidbey of this caliber,” he added.

go-ahead run with only three outs away from moving on. “The place went ballistic,” said Fallon, who praised the largely pro-South Whidbey crowd at the Anacortes field, a hop, skip and jump from their home turf. With Patterson on the mound, Seattle Christian got a runner on base with a walk, a single, and a pair of balks to score the tying run. Fallon said the number of balks called in the game was unusually high. Tied at 5-5, neither team threatened until the 15th inning. Patterson led with a single and reached third on some grounders and steals. With one out, sophomore Austin Sterba fought off fouls,

and hit a two-strike squeeze that scored Patterson for the go-ahead run. Fallon put Will Simms on the mound in the 13th and kept him there in the final frame. Facing Seattle Christian’s top batters, Simms got them to hit into a grounder, a pop fly to center, and a grounder at third base to seal the win. “We went absolutely nuts,” Fallon said. “It was absolute mayhem.” Every Falcon player on the field recorded a hit in the 4 hour, 30-minute game. Most high school games, by contrast, last at most a couple of hours, maybe close to three, and wrap after the seventh inning.

Falcon doubles fall at bi-district The top doubles team from South Whidbey fell in the bi-district girls tennis tournament May 21 in Seattle. Falcons Isla Dubendorf, a senior, and sophomore Bayley Gochanour lost in straight sets to be eliminated from the tournament after the second round. First, Forrest Ridge’s Christina Chia and Amanda Hines won 6-1, 6-1. Falcon head coach Karyle Kramer said the score wasn’t indicative of the on-court performance, however, citing several games that went to deuce. University Prep’s Heidi Reynolds and Annie Labell ended South Whidbey’s season with a 6-1, 6-2 win.

plate: junior Leah Merrow, and seniors Chloe Huffman and Anne Madsen. Ludtke, who played her first season of organized fastpitch in 2014, hit a two-run double. Errors cost South Whidbey in an 8-4 loss to Mount Baker in which not one of the Mountaineers’ runs was earned. Another loss and the season would have ended. South Whidbey rebounded in the elimination bracket against Lynden Christian. Overcoming three errors, the Falcons won 3-2 to play in the winner-to-state contest against Nooksack Valley. Both teams’ pitch-

ers were stellar. Collins threw all seven innings and allowed six hits with a pair of walks against eight strikeouts. The Pioneers’ pitcher gave up three runs on five hits against nine strikeouts. Bouncing back from a rough-and-tumble regular season, South Whidbey softball boarded a bus Thursday morning bound for Richland, the site of the tournament. South Whidbey faced Seattle Christian Academy at 10 a.m. Friday morning. The results from the game were not available by press time. Win or lose, the Falcons were scheduled to play another game that afternoon against either La Center or Connell.

Congregation bid couple adios By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record When Bill and Donna Humphreys stepped into the sanctuary of Langley United Methodist Church for the first time, they were welcomed by an unexpectedly familiar sight. The sole stained glass window was one which had previously been located in a chapel at the University of Washington, the Humphreys’ alma mater. The couple had recently relocated with their family from the mainland and were considering having an “island year” residing on Whidbey while Humphreys searched for a college job. The sight of the familiar window was one of a series of fortuitous coincidences the Humphreys experienced over the decades, as their island year expanded into nearly four decades.

It was one of his last, as he and wife Donna, who sings in the choir, are moving to New Mexico in June. together.” Prior to becoming the Langley United Methodist Church, the chapel was known simply as Langley Community Church, a source of inspiration for Humphreys’ community-building dreams. “When Langley was a little tiny Village by the Sea, this was the church,” Humphreys said. “I like that idea — it wasn’t designated to any particular denomination.” He and other members of the church have continued that legacy of inclusion and acceptance, he said. “I’ve always felt like this is still the downtown community church,” Humphreys said. During his tenure, Bill Humphreys brought the church into the community with on-stage performances from the high school

to Whidbey Island Center for the Arts. He also directed community groups. Collaborators ranged from Michael Nutt and Claudia Walker to the Grammy winning duo Tingstad and Rumbel, who have played an annual fundraiser for the church since 1985. In addition to inviting a diverse group of individuals to join in their music, both Donna and Bill Humphreys have consistently incorporated broader social issues into their musical performance selections. Donna Humphreys also emphasized this during her time as the Chair of Christian Education, bringing international events to the church with lessons in cultural and social consciousness with performances such as “Cool in the Furnace.”

Together, the couple has also joined fellow church performers in taking on musical conquests such as the Brahms Requiem and “The Passion Mime,” a dramatic music production depicting Christ’s crucifixion. The choir has recorded approximately 22 tapes and CDs throughout the years and performs regular special events in addition to the weekly Sunday services. “As I approach my 75th birthday, I am certainly fortunate to have served the Langley United Methodist Church as the director of music for so long,” Humphreys wrote in his letter of departure, which he read to the congregation during a recent service. “Few church musicians are blessed with such a long and happy tenure.”

Mobile poultry processing comes to Whidbey

Ron Newberry / Whidbey News Group

David Bauermeister, executive director of the Northwest Agriculture Business Center, provides a tour of a mobile poultry processing unit that he brought to Coupeville.

By RON NEWBERRY Whidbey News Group The feathers that stuck to the side of a steel work platform were a clear indication that this was no ordinary semi-truck. “It can be pretty messy,” David Bauermeister said. Bauermeister was standing next to a chute near the rear of a trailer unit where chicken feathers tend to fly when business is good. He was showing off the Nor thwest Agriculture Business Center’s latest bit of innovation on wheels, the Mobile Poultry Processing Unit. As the NABC’s executive director, Bauermeister got to play the dual role of guest speaker at a recent Whidbey Island Farm Forum in Coupeville and truck driver from the unit’s resting place in Burlington. It was the first time he’d taken the rig to Whidbey and is hopeful it won’t be

the last. “It’s a good fit for Whidbey Island,” Bauermeister said. Several speakers came to share information at Nordic Hall, but it was clear that many of the roughly 30 attendees, some aspiring poultry farmers, were most eager to hear what Bauermeister’s unit was all about.

Obituary

Vincent Novarra

Vincent Perra Novarra Vincent Perra Novarra passed peacefully on May 24, 2015. Vincent was born to Frank and Rose Novarra, at Fort Casey, on Whidbey Island, in 1928. He enjoyed growing up in the rural community of Whidbey Island. When he turned 19, he joined the U.S. Air Force, where he served for a total of seven years. He then returned to live in Seattle, and started working at Simmons Garage as a mechanic, in Clinton, where he eventually retired. When he married his love, Betty, in 1979, he returned to Whidbey Island, where he remained until his death. In his days on Whidbey, he could be found serving at St. Hubert Catholic Church in Langley, as well as just being outside, working on something, always having another project to do.

He is preceded in death by his parents, two sisters and one brother. He is survived by his wife, Betty Novarra; brothers, Ralph (Noella) Novarra and Francis (Alice) Novarra; sister, Shirley (Gordon) Simmons; son, Don (Becky) Tuff; daughter, Debbie Stockholm; six grandchildren, 11 greatgrandchildren, several nieces and nephews, and many life-long friends. This simple announcement cannot begin to explain the life of this wonderful man, who will be greatly missed. Its simplicity echoes the life of Vincent, a man whose simple guiding principle was to do the right thing, and care about his family, friends and community. Services will be held at St. Hubert Catholic Church. Donations can be made to a charity of your choice.

Island County Sheriff’s Office seeks Calif. sex offender’s whereabouts By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record The Island County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating a level 3 sex offender last seen on South Whidbey. Del E Cohen left California and came to Washington in January of this year without properly advising California of his move and not properly reporting to Washington authorities, according to a public alert issued by the sheriff’s office this week. Cohen, 20, was arrested by Langley police in March for failing to register, and is now no longer at his stated address. “We do not know where he is, and have been told by family he may have gone back to California,” wrote Sgt. Laura Price, in an email to the newspaper. Cohen is not currently

Del E Cohen wanted by the department, but department officials say a warrant for failing to register is forthcoming. Also, while Cohen may be longer be in the state, officers needed to know when and if he returns, said Detective Ed Wallace, spokesman for the Island

360-679-4003 • 877-679-4003 www.seatacshuttle.com

County Sheriff’s Office. “We just want people to be aware that if he shows up back here, we want him,” Wallace said. Cohen was found guilty in 2011 at the age of 15 of two counts of sexual battery and two counts of indecent exposure, according to court records. He assaulted a female adult riding a bicycle by grabbing her buttocks. He also assaulted a female adult riding a bicycle by “talking to her with sexualized language and then kissed her on the lips, also touching her buttocks and chest,” according to the news release. Cohen also assaulted two female adults by exposing himself. And in 2014, he was convicted of peeking into a building and masturbating.

to consider a roundabout in the intersection of Deer Lake Road and Highway 525 to slow traffic and make it safer for pedestrians. The

council was also responsible for getting the Washington State Department of Transportation to address the overgrowth along the bluff that was covering part of the sidewalk to the ferry. The council’s president, Jack Lynch, wrote in an email

while on vacation in Croatia that traffic and lack of sewers are hindrances to higher density development. Speaking only for himself and not for the council, he also noted the lack of development and “aggressive marketing” plans by property owners hurts commercial growth. “This takes leadership on the part of owners,” said Lynch, a retired career community planner, in the email sent Friday morning. “Government can provide tools to spur certain types of development and even, in some cases, provide assistance in the form of infrastructure needed to support development, but government cannot be the developer.” In recent years, some fixture tenants in the lower Clinton area relocated or closed shop. Jim’s Hardware bolted for Ken’s Korner Shopping Center and Wild Birds Unlimited moved to Freeland a couple of years ago. Anchor Books & Coffee closed its doors in late 2013. “The rest of the places on the highway are well filled except for those spots,” said Kalk, adding that Clinton

Auto and Cooper’s Auto have been in the same spots for decades. “If those get filled, people will probably start looking around the corner to get in on the action.” Only recently has the space previously occupied by Jim’s Hardware been filled, with Britt’s Pickles expanding some of its production to part of the space in March. Anchor Books’ former space, 2,000 square feet located a ways away from the ferry holding lot where the ferry traffic queues regularly, still sits empty. Commercial rent in Clinton spans from close to 65 cents per square foot to nearly $1.50/sq. foot. Spaces in the shopping center where Jim’s Hardware was, just off Highway 525 and Deer Lake Road with a water view and parking lot, is closer to the lower end of the cost spectrum. A handful of 900-square-foot and 1,200-square-foot spaces, each with its own bathroom, costs $750 or $995. Leanne Finlay, a Windermere real estate agent, said in an email commercial rental costs in Langley, Freeland and Greenbank are between $1

and $1.50 per square foot. “This is some of the cheapest rent on the island,” said Barb Taylor, owner of Clinton-based South Island Properties. “You’re looking at way under a dollar per square foot, like 65 cents, with no triple net rent.” Taylor relocated her business from north of Bob Galbreath Road back to the shopping center because of its visibility, low rent and view. Clinton is a walkable place with just about everything within a short jaunt’s reach. “We love it because we can keep our car in the parking lot, walk down the hill, get on the boat and go to Ivar’s, walk to the bank, walk to the post office, walk to the park,” she said. “Food Mart will order whatever we ask.” Traffic, however, remains on the tip of lots of tongues in Clinton as the source of much consternation. Every 30 minutes, motorcycles, trucks, cars and freight roar up the hill and speed through Clinton. Electronic radar signs installed a couple of years ago have helped, but people still speed off the boat. “By the time you get up to

Dalton (Realty) there’s time to make a turn,” said Taylor, who moved her business from that area back down closer to the ferry into the business center where she started her property management company nearly a decade ago. For all of the visible vacancies, some of the recent additions have gone less noticed. Britt’s Pickles and a Crossfit gym opened in the same center behind the Clinton Food Mart. South Island Properties moved back in to the same complex. Make Whidbey moved into the Dodge Building across from Cozy’s Roadhouse. Blueschool Arts, a studiogallery-instruction space on Harding Avenue tucked just off the busy roads, opened in late 2014. Lynch said the Island County Comprehensive Plan update is the prime opportunity for Clinton to focus on a direction for itself for development “consistent with the rural character that everyone wants to see continues.”

DISTRICT

According to Oakes, the last assessment was passed in 2005. It collected a flat fee of $196 and was designed to fund operations for 10 years. “So the coffers are empty,” Oakes said. The new assessment would fund annual infrastructure maintenance, but would also pay back a 2014 loan taken from another county fund. It was emergency money that paid for new 24-inch tide gates and water inlets on the east side of the lagoon at the

dike — the inlets had failed and the gates had holes and needed replacement, he said. The process for approving the new fee requires the county to establish a board of appraisers. Members include Oakes as the county engineer, the county’s chief deputy appraiser and one county resident. That board is responsible for holding the public meeting, then making a recommendation to the county commissioners, who will ultimately approve or deny the proposal. The decision can only be made at a public hearing, which includes a chance for formal public comment. Commissioner Price Johnson said this was a nofluff request that will pay for “basic” maintenance, and pay back the loan. Water in the lagoon is below sea level, so the dike and gates perform a vital function of protecting homes from flooding or other damage. “It’s important that we have the resources to make sure they’re maintained to protect private property, and public property as well,” Price Johnson said. The June 10 meeting is informal, meant to provide residents with information about the proposal and gather public comment. Residents are encouraged to attend and ask questions.
