Freeland city study passes first step with reluctant OK By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Justin Burnett / The Record
Joe Wierzbowski displays a freshly cooked lunch from his food truck in Langley Thursday. The new business has come under fire from neighboring buisness owners and members of the city council.
Food Truck debut leaves some with sour taste By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record For a parked food truck, The Big Wierzbowski’s first week in Langley has been one bumpy road. The new business, the first in a commercial experiment approved by the city council earlier this year, rolled into
town last week on Thursday and it was trouble from the start. With no electricity, firing up the grills meant firing up a generator — people complained about noise. Though the food truck was parked in the spot designated by the city at the entrance to Seawall Park — people complained the truck blocked the view.
The awning is too low, the truck is too long, it’s white and had no decorations or menus, there was no garbage or recycling — the list of gripes from neighboring business owners and even two city council members was SEE FOOD TRUCK, A11

Island County makes strides Heart of Whidbey toward GIS system completion
Nonprofit Events Calendar
By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record It’s a rare moment when all three Island County commissioners are silent and enwrapped. Just such a moment was witnessed as Public Works staff unveiled a first glimpse of the county’s long-awaited Geographical Information System (or GIS) at a recent work session. “This is really cool,” Public Works Director Bill Oakes told commissioners. The system will give the public all kinds of county information — including property ownership, assessment information and zoning guidelines — superimposed over satellite image technology. While not scheduled to go online until the end of the year, commissioners were able to play with an early rendition of the program at a work session this month and they didn’t seem to want to stop. “We should just cancel the rest of the day,” joked Commissioner Jill Johnson.
Public works was allotted $143,000 in the 2015 budget for the development of a GIS system, which includes a coordinator position, equipment and licensing. “I’m so excited, Bill; we’re finally here,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said. “We’ve talked about this and worked on this for a long time.” In addition to putting county planning and assessment data at the public’s fingertips, the Esri GIS system will allow the county to better manage geographical data and improve communication with customers and between departments, Oakes said. “It’s been a long time coming,” Oakes said Tuesday. “I’ve been trying to drag this into reality for a long time.” Roads information, topography and property images will also be available, Oakes said. This will be especially helpful for county staff who will be able to access information immediately that would have taken them a lot of time to
research. For instance, when county commissioners request the number of properties zoned as commercial agriculture, it would take “several worker days,” Oakes said. And if Oakes’ staff needs to know the width of a certain road, they would have to go out and measure it. With the GIS system in place, both these queries could be answered within minutes. Loading the information and keeping it updated will be a shared responsibility of public works, the assessor’s office and planning, Oakes said. While the county is now in the infancy of loading the layers of information into the GIS system, it is the goal of the county to have the virtual “map room” available at the end of the year. “This is one of the coolest things we’ve made available to the citizens of Island County in a really long time,” Price Johnson said.
Commissioners fund department communication upgrades More than $180,000 was approved by Island County commissioners recently for equipment that will enable county staff to better communicate during an emergency. The Public Works Department’s county-wide radio system upgrade project was approved for three different allocations: $26,404 to Aviat Networks for equipment; $55,921 to Hutton Communication for components; and $100,186 to Day Wireless Systems for base radios. Budget Director Elaine Marlow said that much of the project’s labor and other costs
will be absorbed by I-COM’s funding, a tax on telephone service. However, I-COM is limited in what it can spend those tax dollars on, so county leadership stepped in to include the necessary equipment upgrades in its 2015 budget, Marlow said. The upgraded radio technology will be very similar to that used by Island Transit and emergency services. It will also serve as a backup network for the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

NORTH END Body found on beach identified A dead man discovered in the water off a North Whidbey beach Wednesday was an Orcas Island resident, authorities say. Island County Coroner Robert Bishop identified him as David Fleischmann, 66. He worked at the Madrona Bar and Grill restaurant on Orcas Island. Bishop said it’s still a mystery how the man died or how he got into the water. An autopsy is scheduled for Saturday. Bishop said he doesn’t see any obvious signs of trauma. Police found Fleischmann’s car at the Orcas Island ferry dock, but that didn’t solve the mystery. Fleischmann was last seen at noon on Wednesday at the
restaurant, where he usually stopped by at lunchtime to get a Coke, Bishop said. A resident on Whidbey Island called 9-1-1 after finding his body in the surf off Moran Beach on Wednesday at 3:37 p.m. Bishop said he’s had cases before in which people jump off of ferries, but he’s not sure at this point if that’s what happened here or if it’s even possible for the body to have drifted that far in just a few hours. He plans on asking for the surveillance footage at the ferry dock. Island County Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said a citizen on the beach, which is near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, saw the body floating in the surf Wednesday afternoon. The citizen pulled the body to shore, covered it and called 911. Fleischmann lived alone and his only family is out of state.

WHIDBEY Warm weather worries lawmakers Warmer than usual summer weather has Whidbey lawmakers worried about fireworks. Island County Sheriff Mark Brown this week announced a total burn ban, which will go into effect 8 a.m. Monday, June 29. The ban prohibits outdoor burning of natural debris, even with a permit, and open cooking fires except with the use of charcoal or gas barbecue grills. If used, they must be at least 10 feet from natural vegetation. As sheriff, Brown also serves as the county’s fire marshal. The ban follows a lesser restriction passed early this month in which only recreational fires were allowed. Both measures were enacted as safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire during a period of reduced moisture levels, low humidity and warmer weather.
Similarly, the Island County commissioners Tuesday unanimously adopted a resolution that urges the public to voluntarily limit its discharge of fireworks during the Fourth of July holidays. Unlike the burn ban, the resolution is a request and does not carry the force of law.

Highway 525 and Craw Road, east of Coles Road. The surrounding property is dedicated public greenspace. Some trees will be removed from the shoulder of the highway’s right of way to create an opening where a transmission line feeding the substation will cross over the highway. Other trees on narrow corridors within the Puget Sound Energy property will be cleared in August or September to extend existing transmission lines from Coles Road into the new substation. Construction of the substation itself will continue through September. In a news release from Puget Sound Energy, a notice was issued that neighbors may experience increased traffic on Craw Road. Installation of electrical equipment will occur in late 2015 or early 2015.

Longtime organizers Ken, Dana Gilroy to lead Maxwelton parade By RECORD STAFF The centennial celebration of the annual Maxwelton Independence Day parade will be led by longtime organizers Dana and Ken Gilroy. Having lived on Whidbey Island and the Maxwelton Beach community for many years and having made significant contributions to the parade, it’s their time to lead it down the road to open up the Fourth of July festivities. “It seems very fitting to recognize the many contributions of Dana and Ken for this 100th parade,” said organizer Bob Brooks in a news release. “We are delighted that they will receive the thanks of the community for all they have done over the years.” Ken Gilroy has had a Maxwelton Beach residence since 1976, according to the news release prepared by the organizing Maxwelton Community Club. He brings his family members to help out on the parade most years. Dana Gilroy taught in South Whidbey schools for many years before ending as vice principal of Langley Middle School. She first worked on the parade under Joan Mackie Reese and became president of the community club and chief

In 2006, she stepped down as president, but continued as parade organizer until 2008 and remains involved in the event’s coordination. They will ride and wave at the crowd lining the roadway in Ray Gabelein’s vintage red convertible. After the ride down Maxwelton Road, the Gilroys will join past parade grand marshals in the VIP area to share parade experiences and memories, and be recognized for their contributions to the community and continuing the Americana tradition. The parade, started in 1912 but suspended some
years during World War I and World War II, has been otherwise held annually. To celebrate the 100-year history, an exhibit of old parade photos and memorabilia will be set up in the grandstand area. Organizers are extending a special invitation for float or walking entries from other South Whidbey clubs, associations, chambers of commerce and other community representatives. The parade kicks off at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 4 at Maxwelton Beach, Clinton. Creative musical and walking entries are welcomed,
along with bicycles, stilts, etc. For safety reasons, nonvintage vehicles must be no larger than Explorer/Tahoe size. There is a limit of one entry per political party and per candidate. There is no entry fee and no need to pre-register, but organizers would like to know ahead about any large entries. Write up some information about each entry for the announcers. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. at the corner of Maxwelton and Swede Hill roads. Games for kids, teens and adults will follow at Dave Mackie Park. Parade favorites returning this year: Danny Ward on saxophone for the National Anthem, Second Wind drum corps, Megan McClung Marine Corps Detachment for the color guard and flag raising, and Bruce the bagpiper. Free parking is located near the parade route until full, after which free shuttles will operate from/to the overflow lot at Little Brown Church at French Road.

Seattle girl’s design picked for button contest Kate Okerstrom, a fifthgrade Seattle student at Epiphany School, is the winner of the 2015 Maxwelton Independence Day Parade button contest. Each year, an official button design is selected and made. Organizers then sell for $1 and the proceeds help fund the annual event. Kate’s family has owned a house at Maxwelton Beach for six years. “I love being at Maxwelton, exploring the beach and playing fetch with our dog, AJ,” she said in a news release from Maxwelton Community
Kate Okerstrom Club. Design of the button had to reflect the celebration of Maxwelton’s 100th parade and the date. The contest was open to Maxwelton Valley residents’ relatives ages 14 and younger. The winner received $50 as a prize, plus infinite bragging rights for being the centennial button designer. Kate’s favorite subjects in school are art, history, writing and English. Some of her best-enjoyed activities include reading, writing, painting, drawing, sewing and being outdoors.

During general examinations, your pet’s vital functions will be checked. The veterinarian’s examination will include the eyes, the joints, the abdomen, the cardio-respiratory capacity, as well as the lymphatic system. You will probably be asked a few questions about the animal’s dietary habits and behavior too. Any behavioral changes could signal a deeper or developing problem.
If necessary, the veterinarian will also take a blood sample, an X-ray, an ultrasound, or any other in-depth examination. He or she will consult you first about any such intervention and discuss your budget options. The important thing to remember is that if an infection or an anomaly is detected at an early stage, the chances of recovery are much higher.

Prosecutor vows thorough review of jailhouse death By GREG BANKS
I am conducting a complete review of the circumstances and actions that led to the death of Keaton Farris in the Island County Jail on April 8, 2015. The purpose of my review is to determine whether any crimes have been committed by any persons connected to his care. Many have been calling for me to quickly bring criminal charges against jail staff and others based Banks only on the investigative report prepared by Detective Ed Wallace. To do so now would violate the principles of our criminal justice system, which require a careful and comprehensive review in a case such as this. Decisions to prosecute must be made based upon the admissible evidence and a thorough analysis of the law and procedures that govern our criminal courts. On Monday, June 22, 2015 I received Detective Ed Wallace’s full investigation into the death of Mr. Farris. In addition to Detective Wallace’s report that has been released to the public, the complete investigation includes many hundreds of pages of supporting documentation, as well as computer data and audio and video evidence. I may also require additional investigation by police, including interviews of other witnesses with information relevant to Mr. Farris’ death. I anticipate that my review will necessarily include the coming report from the independent jail consultant hired by the sheriff. It is understandable that many people expect there to be criminal charges based on Detective Wallace’s report alone. Mr. Farris’ death was clearly preventable. However, a criminal charge requires more than a wrongful death due to the actions or omissions of others. While we may or may not file criminal charges, the decision to do so can only be made by examining all of the evidence against the heavy legal and procedural burdens that must be overcome in a criminal trial. At this time, it would be premature to make such a determination because I have not yet analyzed the complex legal issues, nor have I had an opportunity to review the voluminous evidence. I commit to objectively and thoroughly reviewing this case for all potential criminal charges against all potential defendants. I will endeavor to do so free from the passion that is certainly justified by these tragic events. As an officer of the court and the legal representative of the people of Island County, that is how I must perform my duties. I do not have a projected date by which my review will be completed.

Letters Response
Legislature also to blame in inmate’s death Editor, Shocking and deeply disturbing are my first reactions after reading the article about Keaton Farris’s death in the Coupeville jail. The death was attributed to dehydration, with the lack of adequate nutrition as a compounding factor. If the facts, as they have been presented, withstand further scrutiny, then everyone in the Island County’s justice system shares some responsibility for this tragedy, along with the officials we elected to oversee this system. The only good news in this mess (if you could call it that), is Island County Sheriff Mark Brown took responsibility for the events. In some areas of the country, readers would never hear about such an event, much less receive a public apology. In a similar way our state Legislature shares some responsibility for these events. It says a lot about a society in the way it treats its most vulnerable.
Locking up the chronically mentally ill because there are no other options is completely unacceptable. However, the fairy tale that continues to be alive and well in some circles of Olympia is that it is OK to continue to cut social, health, and legal programs and resources needed for the most vulnerable — no matter what the consequences. Under no circumstance do we want to raise taxes to address these most critical needs, even when taxes are at historically low levels. For this “no taxes” group of “decision makers” in Olympia, the sentiment appears to be that the most vulnerable can just “figure it out for themselves” or that the problems will just disappear on their own. In this case, the problem did disappear, but in a way few people would find palatable. DAVE PEARSON Clinton

worst of all possible outcomes, the recent death of Keaton Farris, we see that even in our own county jail such is possible. Neglect, incompetence, lack of oversight/accountability or other similar failures can and must be corrected. Disregard for a human life — any human life — is more troubling and harder to cure.

ing, but it wouldn’t take much research for anyone to discover that ownership of a pit bull requires special knowledge and training that the average person simply does not possess. But, instead they just say, “Oh, what a cute puppy, I’ll take it.” The result is an untrained, often unrestrained and aggressive dog that is a danger to everyone. Laws will be passed to protect others from this unfortunate dog who will likely end up having to be euthanized, as this one was, either before or after it attacks another dog or human. The owner makes a lazy choice and the dog pays with its life. People, wake up! You aren’t choosing a head of lettuce, it’s a life — take the time to educate yourself and make the right breed choice for you and your family. If doing it for the right reasons doesn’t interest you, consider this: your aggressive dog could attack a human and you could end up in prison. If this doesn’t get your attention, please go instead to Wal-Mart and buy a toy dog. LINDA HAUSER Langley
The term “queer” represents a clear generational shift Editor, June 28 is the 46th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in New York City in 1969 which birthed what was originally known as they Gay Liberation Movement that mostly included gay men and lesbians. That movement quickly included bisexuals and transgender people — hence the LGBT community was born. Along with the political movement also came the yearly Pride Celebration and Pride Parade now held every year in June across the nation. Last year Pride came to Whidbey Island. Two different groups sponsored a picnic and dance in Freeland in June and a parade in Langley last August. The founder of the parade group proclaimed last year “she is exhausted by the constant labeling of everything in society, mainly people” but then proceeded to choose a new label — a new name for our Pride movement here on Whidbey — hence Queer Pride was born. It’s clear there is a generational shift at work. The name “gay and lesbian” is out and “queer” is in. Perhaps one day we can transcend labels like the confusing alphabet soup that makes up the acronym of our movement which currently includes LGBTQIA, with intersex and asexual being the newest

additions this year. (I’m afraid next year some folks might start saying LGBTQIA - G.F., as in “Go figure”!) In any event, even for those of us of the Stonewall Generation of the 1970s not offended by the word “queer” itself, many of us can never forget our struggle just to “come out.” Publicly embracing the socially shunned label of gay or lesbian was a personal and political decision we made which put us at great risk of losing our jobs and family connections as well as put us in danger of physical violence and criminal prosecution. I hope that as we move into the future there is room for a diversity of labels and names; that there is room for gay and lesbian and queer also. So in closing as we observe the anniversary of our movement I want to thank all of our non-gay family members, friends, and allies who have cared for and supported us in our struggle for human and civil rights. Happy Pride, every one!

Why should people want to pull over, stop in Clinton? Editor, Downtown Clinton is a small, communitysupporting business center. When I exit the ferry I have a first destination in mind, like home or the vacation rental or a friend’s house. Rarely am I headed to get my nails done, stop at the bank or rent a U-Haul. There are really no impulse stops as we race off the ferry. There are places to come back to and visit, do business or shop. So why put a roundabout on Highway 525 at Deer Lake Road to slow down the traffic? Yikes! Please ’splain to me how that will make it easier for local traffic on a hot — or even stormy — Sunday afternoon with a long, impatient line of ferry traffic waiting and a bottleneck for traffic leaving the ferry. I think I would want to get out of Clinton as fast as possible. So, to offer an opinion on my question, I challenge those pushing to spend tons of money on making me slow down to discover how to make people want to stop in Clinton. Here are a couple of ideas. Let’s feature our assets, such as softball tournaments at Porter field or a fishing derby on Deer Lake. Create an identity for something unique like art or food or gardens or textile arts or the world’s largest pickle. You know, a reason to go to Clinton. Thanks,

By MARK BROWN My thanks to the media for its role in sharing information with the family and our local community; however painful it was — and is — to hear. Tuesday, [jail] Chief De Dennis informed me of his decision to retire from service. To quote Chief Dennis, “Change is good. The jail has new supervisors, new staff, and will soon be getting updated equipment.
There is a Correctional Specialist coming in to review and update the jail processes. I hope his recommendations will be implemented by new leadership. I have chosen to retire effective July 2, 2015.” Following an employee due process hearing, I made the decision to terminate the employment of Lt. Pam McCarty. It is my opinion based on the investigation as presented to me that neither employee had any intent to harm an Island County inmate; that, however, is subject to further review. Both employees admitted the mistakes they made; both employees know the magnitude of what has happened. Moving for ward, Undersherif f [Kelly] Mauck and Interim Jail Chief Chris Garden are — and will be — working to implement new policies and procedures while at the same time ensuring employee understanding of those policies and procedures. Both will be
accountable for operational management of the jail until such time as a new chief is hired. For as long as I continue to serve as your sheriff I will work to rebuild this agency starting with a complete and transparent oversight (top to bottom) of the Island County Sheriff’s Office. With the help of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, I am seeking and getting professional oversight to guide my direction moving forward. As soon as the professional assessments are rendered, I will provide full disclosure to all citizens and county government leaders as to what those recommendations are and how I intend to correct the problems identified. Mark Brown is the Island County Sheriff. The jail in Coupeville and its staff are under his supervision.

Robert Giswold
Robert “Bob” Miller Giswold
July 1, 1948 - June 1, 2015 A wonderful husband, father, brother, uncle, friend and dentist and hiking, cycling, windsurfing and ski buddy, cosmologist, philosopher and pilot of his destiny and life, Bob will continue to inspire us to forever challenge ourselves to keep learning and live our lives with audacity. Born July 1, 1948 in Seattle, Robert Miller Giswold was the son of William Giswold and Marjorie Miller Giswold. He grew up in Kirkland, on the shores of Lake Washington, with his parents and sisters, Kathy and Cindy. He graduated from Lake Washington High school, then attended Western Washington College. However, uninspired by school and struggling with his grades, he decided to take a semester off to experience something new by exploring Europe with only his backpack and a Eurorail pass. It was an experience which would prove formative and sculpt his life philosophy. While in Eastern Europe, he was faced with hardships including near starvation, isolation, and life-threatening experiences that began the shaping of his new outlook. But it was while in Turkey that he had a realization. He observed destitute elderly men running to make deliveries with 100-pound bundles on their backs. Seeing them sweat and struggle under the bulk of such heavy loads, earning barely enough to live, he awoke to the realization that he was fortunate to have so many opportunities that these men would never have. He returned to college with renewed drive to succeed in his studies and proactively pursue his vision for his life with audacity and determination. Upon his return to Western, he started dating Sara Sakura, a fellow biology major. He charmed her with his Flemish pot roast dinner, sense of humor, enthusiasm
for life, and beautiful skiing technique. Having turned his grades around, Bob received his bachelor’s degree in 1970, fully prepared for a career in biochemistry. However, with few job prospects during the oil crisis, he followed his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps and decided to continue his education and attend the University of Washington School of Dentistry. Sara attended Dental Hygiene School at University of Washington at the same time, and they were set to be a fantastic team. They were married in July 1974. In his first years as a dentist, Bob practiced beside his father, Bill Giswold, DDS. Then, Bob and Sara took a chance, and built their own dental office in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Luckily their new practice was a success and Bob was very happy that he had chosen dentistry as his profession. It fit his personality perfectly: it required lifelong learning, was a constant challenge and he loved the many personal interactions he had with his patients. After a few years of city living, Bob and Sara decided it was time to continue pursuing their dreams and move to the country. Whidbey Island was the perfect place to build their “log cabin” and raise their growing family. It had all they desired; beautiful views of the water and mountains, creative community spirit, and best of all, it was close to Sara’s mother, Grandma Alice. After the move they continued to work in Seattle, but 16 years of commuting and enduring increasing traffic took their toll. They sold the Capitol Hill practice and opened a new office, Saratoga Dental, in Langley in 1994. Unsure if the practice would do well, they were just happy to be living the life they had imagined for themselves. Together Bob and Sara nurtured their blossoming dental practice while continuing to work on their dream home to accommodate their growing family. Bob and Sara had two children, Kelsi Nikkiko Giswold born in 1979, and Braden Hiroshi Miller Giswold born in 1982. Devoted to instilling in his children his same love for life and adventure, Bob made sure that outdoor sports and frequent travel were top on the list for the Giswold vacations. First were countless ski trips to Winthrop and Whistler starting when the kids were just toddlers. Then windsurfing vacations in Hawaii, the Colombia River Gorge and Baja followed. Summers were spent hik-

ing, cycling and windsurfing. Travels included Europe, China, Ecuador and Brazil. Bob was constantly on the hunt for new and fun ways to add adventure, excitement and challenge to the family’s vacations. As the number of sports he enjoyed grew, his days working shrunk. Soon, his daily life was better than he had ever dreamed. The few days he spent at the office, he was challenged by exciting, advanced dental procedures, and when he was not, he was furthering his dental education, cycling, skiing, or windsurfing with his wife and kids. Life was good! Seeing their parents’ joy and satisfaction with their profession, Bob and Sara’s children also pursued health care careers. Their daughter, Kelsi, is a certified Soma Neuromuscular Integration practitioner. Their son, Braden, took over the dental practice at Saratoga Dental in 2012, and is now the fourth generation dentist of the family. Nothing made Bob more happy than seeing his children enjoy their work, pursue lifelong learning, and continue the athletic lifestyle that he modeled throughout their upbringing. Bob’s most profound experience was being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer in August 2014. Faced with his mortality, he tackled the challenge head-on, determined to learn all he could about cancer and death, and to be master of his thoughts and spirit through the journey. He maintained a positive attitude, not letting his diagnosis prevent him from enjoying his planned cycle tour of Slovenia and Croatia, annual windsurf trip in Baja, or a guided backcountry ski trip in Canada. Bob always had a scientific mind, and with this new challenge he expanded his focus from the physical world to include the emotional and spiritual worlds as well. His studies in Ayurveda, psychotherapy, energy medicine, and Eastern philosophy combined with his scientific studies in cosmology, quantum mechanics and biology to paint a harmonious picture of life and death, and prepare him for his next journey. He faced cancer and death as yet another undertaking, an important life experience. By the time death was imminent, he was totally at peace and without fear. Bob passed away in the early morning of June 1, 2015. A week before his death, in his last email he reflected to close friends: “I find life to be richer than ever, introspection and gratitude being the focus. “Perhaps I’m experienc-
ing my true, innate nature. I have no ego and I have no need to compensate for anything. There’s no insecurity. I don’t sense panic or fear in my family. The whole family has a sense of wellbeing. … I am proud of us. We have all embraced this notion of my eminent passing with grace. Our goal has been to make this experience positive, rather than negative. And although the emotions are just under the surface, we can navigate through and with them, not letting them be the focus. We can laugh and joke, I can even sign checks! … I can joke about this. There is no stress. I’m very grateful! “I hold you all very closely, you will remain ever-present in the next realm. I love you very much. This power will drive my spirit forward in my journey. “Thank you, Thank you! “I’ll see you everywhere. — Robert ‘Bob’ Giswold” An intimate celebration of life will be held on July 1 with family and friends. The family would be honored if you would like to say a prayer or chant “Om Mani Padme Hum” for his spirit and in his memory. In lieu of flowers, donations in Bob’s name can be made to: Island Beach Access at islandbeachaccess.org, Healing Circles of Langley at heal ingcircleslangley.org or your favorite charity.

where they built their home and farm. They raised their children Nora and Shawn. She enjoyed the island life and its community. She found joy in gardening, canning and sewing, which she loved to share and give as gifts. She helped at the voter polls, Pregnancy Aid, substitute teaching at the local schools and helping at the Island County Fair where she officiated the 4-H horse competitions. At the fair, she also liked to participate, showing her finest sewing projects as well as special canned goods. Family was very important to Peg. She is survived by her loving children, Shawn and Nora; her grandkids, Jessica and Anthony; her loving brother, Tom Flood, his wife, Jill, their children Tom, Tim and Kelly King and their spouses; and great-nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind countless friends and family members she has met throughout the years here and abroad. We know that Peg is at peace now next to her loving husband. Please join her family for a celebration of life at 1 p.m. on July 6 and St. Hubert Church in Langley. There will be a small reception to follow in the parish hall. A private burial will take place at the Langley Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the St. Jude Hospital or Wounded Warrior Project.

Margaret ‘Peg’ Moore
Margaret ‘Peg’ Moore, a longtime South Whidbey resident who had relocated to Covington, Ga. to be close to her daughter and grandkids, passed away peacefully on June 8. Peg was born in Chicago, Ill., on January 5, 1939, to Thomas and Frances Flood. The family moved to Long Beach, Calif. where she graduated from St. Anthony High School and attended nursing school. Peg met her husband, Harold Moore, and married him in 1960. They traveled the world and eventually settled in Clinton on Whidbey Island,
Katherine Duce Wood, age 98, finished her journey on this earth June 6. She passed away peacefully, with her family near. Katherine was born in Cardston, Alberta, Canada on June 23, 1916 to Thomas and Fannie Knowlton Duce. One of a large family, Katherine’s summers were spent on the Alberta prairies and in swimming holes of nearby creeks. The family moved to Everett when Katherine was 16. There, she finished high school and attended nurse training. In 1938, she married Stanley M. Wood of Marysville, a dashing young man whose life was as vibrant and busy as her own. They lived in Marysville for the next 12 years, where Stanley built a cabin cruiser and summers were spent cruising Puget Sound with their young children. In 1953, they moved with their four children to Whidbey Island and purchased the old
Katherine Wood Hohl Farm on Saratoga Road (now known as the Saratoga Woods Preserve). The family raised their own beef and pork and grew their own vegetables and fruit. Katherine was a keen observer of nature and enjoyed working in her gardens, listening to the eagles call along Saratoga Passage, and daily walks in the woods, always on the lookout for wild mushrooms. Katherine, an avid reader and life-long learner, was instrumental in bringing the first Sno-Isle Bookmobile to Whidbey. She was also a president of Island County Homemakers. Her husband, Stanley, with the help of three sons, built an airstrip on the farm. Katherine, always ready for adventure, spent many years flying with him in their small planes, with many trips to Alaska. They also flew to Mexico in his home-built plane. She loved to explore history, culture and architecture, and made several trips to Europe. After her family had grown, Katherine took up painting and became an accomplished artist. She won awards in juried shows for her watercolors. She was also active with Ladies of the Beach, walking many of the island beaches. In 1992, they sold the farm and moved to Orcas Island, where they enjoyed sailing throughout the islands. After Stan’s passing in 1996, Katherine moved back to Langley to be near family. Katherine was preceded in death by her husband, Stanley, and a son, John, in 1964. She is survived by her children, Marian (Rodger) Bergquist, Bill (Cheryl) Wood and Jerry (Joanne) Wood; 10 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild as well as numerous nieces and nephews. To these, she leaves a legacy in her love of family, cultivation of flowers (particularly rhododendrons) and in her art. Her hallmarks were industry and enthusiasm for life. There will be a private family celebration of her life. Remembrances may be made to the charity of your choice.

consideration. While it was hardly a resounding endorsement of the effort and certainly no guarantee of a green light, organizers said later the decision was better than nothing. “It’s progress,” said Chet Ross, president of the Freeland Chamber of Commerce and one of the driving forces behind the request. Partnering with the Island County Economic Development Council (or EDC), of which Ross also serves on the organization’s board of directors, the chamber is seeking $70,000 to pay a private consulting firm to determine just what it would mean if Freeland became a city. Among a laundry list of questions, the study would identify details ranging from potential boundary lines and tax ramifications to government structure. Ross and Ron Nelson, executive director of the EDC, presented the plan to a clearly wary council of governments. It was actually the second time members heard the request; Nelson made an initial proposal last month, but

Both long range planning documents, the changes
will resolve several substantial growth related issues, from redefining Freeland’s urban growth area boundaries to creating development regulations and a capital facilities plan. Though the council’s May response was clear, and Ross said before Wednesday’s meeting that he’d worked on a new presentation to satisfy the voiced concerns, the same questions came up and council members appeared less than satisfied. “My question still remains,” Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson said. “How can you make an economic feasi-

bility study without knowing the boundaries?” Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard echoed those sentiments, saying there are certain things that should be determined before moving forward with such an effort. “You can’t have an incorporation study until you know the details,” she said. “It’s like the sewers, people want to know what it’s going to cost.” Similarly, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson voiced strong concerns that launching an incorporation study now would “derail” the county’s current planning efforts. She’s been struggling to get them done for years, she said, and the deadline is June 2016. Incorporation is an old and controversial discussion, and people might zero in on that conversation, she said. “If we were to move forward on this right now, my worry is the focus would be on incorporation,” Price Johnson said. Ross disagreed, saying he believed the two efforts could move along in harmony and without conflict, that they “would probably come together very nicely” by the time both are concluded. Nelson agreed, saying the consultant hired to perform the study on behalf of the EDC and the Freeland chamber could work in concert with the county’s planning department to ensure the end products didn’t conflict. “I don’t see these things as exclusive, as an either or conversation,” Nelson said. Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Curt Gordon joined the chorus of concerns from his colleagues, however, saying there appears to be “crossover” with other capital project efforts, namely sewers.

over and over stall forward progress. “We’ve been told by the county since 2007, every year, that timing is wrong,” Ross said. “The timing is always wrong.” He noted in a later interview that it’s not just him driving the effort for incorporation; the chamber’s board of directors voted unanimously last year for him to propose the study. Ross also told COG members that it’s unlikely the entire $70,000 requested would be needed. Estimates are between $45,000 and $55,000, he said. It would take about four months to complete. The news raised the eyebrows of Johnson, who said that allotting more than is needed raises questions. She also addressed a question by Nelson, who’d asked if people outside of Freeland would be able to weigh in during incorporation and comprehensive planning discussions. That also seemed to take Johnson by surprise. She assured Nelson that they would, as they are residents of Island County and have a rightful say about Whidbey’s future. “We call that open government,” Johnson said. Although the council seemed dead set against the idea, largely for timing reasons, Johnson proposed moving the issue forward to the commissioners strictly so additional conversation could be had, particularly with county planners. They might shed light on whether a study could move forward without significant interruption of the ongoing planning effort. The decision was supported with a 7-0 vote.

championed as an economic development project, but many of the benefits Ross and Nelson claim might be realized through incorporation might be accomplished with a sewer system alone. “Is this a sewer issue or a municipality issue?” Gordon said. Nelson said it’s impossible to be “100 percent” sure about anything, but the goal of the study is to answer such questions with the assistance of professionals. “We’re asking for experts to help us get these answers so we can make an informed decision,” Nelson said. Unsatisfied, Gordon went on to quiz the EDC leader about an earlier “cryptic” comment Nelson made concerning handcuffed commercial growth. “I know a very large business that’s interested in investing in Freeland, but it can’t because of a lack of infrastructure,” said Nelson, at the start of his presentation. Nelson didn’t identify the business, citing privacy reasons. Though Gordon didn’t press, he asked if the infrastructure issue was sewers. Nelson acknowledged that it was. “So when you brought that up as a city issue, it was really a sewer issue, wasn’t it?” Gordon said. Johnson said she can understand the passion behind the incorporation effort, the desire for autonomy and self governance, but that the county has a “freight train moving to meet a June deadline,” which makes this a matter of timing. Price Johnson agreed, saying a discussion for Freeland incorporation may be in the future but this is a challenging time for the conversation. Ross expressed frustration with the county’s reluctance to endorse the incorporation movement, saying officials

HOSPITAL CONTINUED FROM A1
In its application, the hospital presented a modified design that featured changes to previously proposed parking lots, additional pedestrian walkways, landscaping more consistent with hospital surroundings and building modifications that designers felt reflected the area’s historic integrity. “We’re glad to see we were heard at the pre-app and you made the efforts you did,” said Harry Anderson, commission chairman. “This has been a very long process and I know how difficult it is.” Hospital staff were able to address commission member concerns about preserving a tree line that separates the hospital from Careage of Whidbey by eliminating an additional parking lot and finding space for parking in other areas, said Marianne Manville-Ailles, a contracted planner for the Town of Coupeville who was hired to work on the project. Because of the parking modifications, two spots were lost, but the total amount of parking is still within requirements.

And based on a small sample Thursday at noon, people seem to like the food. “I got the Big W,” said Pat Bitts, a Clinton resident, between a mouthful of Wierzbowski’s signature lunch of kielbasa and sauerkraut and fries. “It’s delicious.” “We think this is a really good addition to Langley,” he added. Bitts was there grabbing a bite with the Men’s Out to Lunch Group, a small club of friends who regularly get together for tasty island food. Their loosely appointed leader, Dan Saul, wholly endorsed the food truck and Wierzbowski’s culinary skills. “Really nice,” said Saul, who got
prohibitive. Instead the landing pad will be moved closer to Main Street, which Anderson said he thinks some people will still be concerned with. The location and flight path, however, have been approved by the FAA. The area will be fenced and the additional landscaping should obscure the space from the road some, Anderson added. Hospital staff celebrated the approval as one of many milestones it must make through the permitting process. Manville-Ailles said the project has already received
a lentil quinoa burger for himself and Portobello mushroom meal for his wife. Others, however, aren’t so impressed — with the new business anyway. According to Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, city hall has received about a half a dozen complaints since The Big Wierzbowski first set its parking brake last week. Many of the largest grievances have been addressed: the generator is off and the truck is now wired into power for which Wierzbowski will get a bill, the view blockage was addressed by moving the vehicle a few feet west on First Street — it’s now in front of the Dog House — Wierzbowski has a printed menu
SEPA approval and has another hearing next week for additional permits. The project will go before the Coupeville Planning Commission at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 30; the hospital applied for a conditional use permit and variance.

Hospital CEO Geri Forbes said the hospital is hoping to break ground on the project in mid-to-late summer. Once construction has started, construction is anticipated to take 18-24 months to complete.

Sweet songs for dying days By KATE DANIEL Whidbey News Group For those preparing to pass life’s final threshold, a group of Whidbey women offer a musical gift of transcendence and healing. The Threshold Singers do not consider themselves a choir, nor do they consider their work a performance. The singers, of whom there are 15 in the Whidbey Island chapter, are all volunteers. Their work is deeply personal, and free of charge. They most often sing at the bedsides of the dying, in homes and at care facilities, including Enso House and Careage of Whidbey. They also sing to caregivers and family members of those who are preparing to die, some of whom learn the songs and sing along. “Music can be a transcendent experience,” said Anne Zontine, one of the members present at the June 18 Rest Easy at Healing Circles Langley, one of a handful of public presentations by the group. “I think we are working with the idea of what death means in our lives and in our culture and helping people to have the death experience be something that is positive and gentle, looking at it in more of a transformative way,” said Zontine, adding that instead of a negative transition, the experience can be made more positive, for the dying as well as their loved ones. The group is the Whidbey chapter of an international organization with locations ranging from London to

The women are all members of the Threshold Singers, a group which sings at the bedsides of the dying. California. The National Threshold Choir Organization has approximately 500 songs in its database, some of which are folk songs, passed through the generations, such as a Nigerian song in honor of elders. Others were written specifically for the bedside. The Threshold Singers are not associated with any religion, though they sing hymns or other religious melodies, as well as other favorites, upon request. One man requested “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” the women recalled. The cadence and tempo

of the song also differs based upon the client’s preferences. Christa Straub explained that, when a person is in the process of dying, the singers often hum rather than use words. At other times, clients request a more upbeat tempo. Straub noted that, in the final days of a person’s life, much of the focus is upon medical needs. The music offers a respite from the chaos, for the clients as well as their caregivers. Some of those who’ve been visited for some time begin to learn the songs themselves and sing along. “It’s very sweet,” Straub said. Music is particularly effective due to the fact that hearing is one of the last human faculties to be lost in the dying process, Effie
Brown said. Brown, who is experienced in hospice care, noted that the medical community is, slowly, beginning to recognize palliative care as a viable option. “In the same way we’ve reclaimed the birthing process, in our home and in our families, that’s the same way we want to reclaim the dying process,” Brown said. “We’re passionate about the work.” The group began when three women from North Whidbey, who had been gathering and performing in Anacortes, decided to start a local chapter approximately five years ago. Today, the group is composed of women from all areas of the island, including Freeland, Coupeville and Oak Harbor, and is always welcoming of new members.

Zontine noted that many begin working with the group as they navigate their own grief. “We find that when we sing with each other, it is a very nurturing and nourishing thing for us, as people that are participating,” Zontine said. “When we sing with others in a circle like this, we find that it is a very meditative time for people to go to another space with their consciousness.” At a recent rehearsal at the home of Brown, the women instructed their newest member, Susan Hanson, to lie down in a recliner, eyes closed and shoes removed, to relax and experience the songs from a client’s perspective. It is one of many ways in which the women ensure they are as familiar with the clients’ experience as pos-
sible. Several of the singers have worked in healthcare, often in hospice. Each is required to attend six months to a year of training at Whidbey General Hospital prior to their first bedside singing experience. The training helps the women to prepare to enter environments in which clients are in the process of dying. During personal, bedside visits, the women typically sing in groups of two or three, always requiring that a caregiver be present. The bedside visits are confidential, and are often made upon referral. “My sense is that music is a universal language that goes directly to the heart of the person,” said Effie Brown.

TURN YOUR JUNK INTO
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: ARIES, TAURUS AND GEMINI.
Week of June 28 to July 4, 2015 ARIES
Time is a scarce commodity, so you have to be very organized in order to finish everything you’d planned on doing. You may also attend a fabulous event with some friends.
TAURUS
If you’re looking for a job, someone close to you could steer you in the direction of an amazing career. You undertake a project that’s close to your heart, even if it’s only a little trip.
GEMINI
Try to find some time for a vacation this summer. You have all the necessary tools to start your own business, and several people will be able to give you their support.
CANCER
You build harmony everywhere you go, bringing smiles to many people’s faces. You find all the solutions necessary in order to settle a debt or even buy a property.
LEO
You’re able to complete some important negotiations or a transaction that has been dragging on for ages. Don’t be afraid of change; it can only be to your benefit.
VIRGO
You end up being the centre of attention in one way or another. Expect some warm applause when you accomplish a brilliant exploit.
LIBRA
