South Whidbey Record
A breezy, 90-minute ceremony Thursday belied the long, winding path
seven South Whidbey Academy graduates took to earn their diplomas.
A tradition of the program from its former Bayview School days is to have
an advocate, someone in the school who has helped them, speak on their
behalf and present each student individually to the school board and super-
intendent for graduation. At the alternative school’s graduation held in the
former primary school gymnasium for the first time, after years at Thomas
Berry Hall, the students’ stories of struggle and perseverance were shared.
David Pfeiffer, the school’s director, spoke of how the students took respon-
sibility for their education and did all of the work that was required for them
to walk across the stage, shake a few hands and receive their diploma.
“We have no magic formula for pouring knowledge into their heads,” he
said. “We haven’t figured it out … They have to want it, they have to go for
it.” Teacher Charlie Snelling, who will retire at the end of the month after a
decades-long career in education, wished the students luck as they continue
their learning and maturation away from the “protective custody of public
Team prepares to weigh historic anchor
By JUSTIN

If it’s what a team of
treasure hunters hope, an
artifact connected with the
Pacific Northwest’s most
famous European explorer
will leave the seafloor for
the first time in over two
centuries next week.
State regulators have
issued Anchor Ventures,
LLC, a permit to raise an
anchor they believe was
lost during Captain George
Vancouver’s legendary
exploration of Puget Sound
in the early 1790s.
The plan is to raise the
1,000-pound relic from shal-
low water in Admiralty Inlet
on Monday, a date team
members say holds special
significance.
“June 9 is 222 years to the
day [the anchor was lost],”
said Scott Grimm, a Seattle
resident and member of the
team.The recovery is the cul-
mination of years of work
by Grimm and Doug Monk,
a Port Angeles commercial
diver and boat owner who
found the anchor while div-
ing in 2008. Just where it
came from is a matter of
some dispute, but research
has led them to strongly
believe it’s the fabled stream
anchor lost from the HMS
Chatham [pronounced
chat-uhm] on June 9, 1792,
the 80-foot survey brig that
accompanied Vancouver on
the HMS Discovery.
“I think everyone on the
team is fairly confident,”

Justin Burnett / The RecordTim Storey reacts to seeing his house on fire Monday.
Blaze burns Freeland home, none injuredBy JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey RecordA fire seriously damaged a secluded two-story Freeland home on
Monday.Located on Evenstar Lane off Honeymoon Bay Road, the blaze is
believed to have started shortly before 3 p.m. Firefighters arrived quickly and were able to douse the flames before they got out of control, but not before the upper story was severely burned.
“The whole house is destroyed, as far as smoke damage,” said Tim Shorey, the homeowner.In the construction industry, Shorey built the home himself in 2006. He said the roof and ceiling insulation would need to be replaced, along with bamboo flooring that was soaked when the fire was extinguished. Despite the damage, Shorey said the house might have been a total loss had it not been for the quick action of his neighbor, Marcella Zarifis, who saw the flames and called 9-1-1.
“Thank God,” said Shorey, crediting her with saving the house.Evenstar Lane is a private road in a wooded area, and the Zarifises
are his only immediate neighbors. According to Chad Michael, dep-uty chief of Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue, had she not been home or the fire happened at night, the end result may have far worse.
The district covers an area peppered with country homes, many of which are similarly secluded. Vigilant neighbors are vital partners in island firefighting, Michael said.“For us with so many rural homes, that’s critical,” he said.
Zarifis said she first noticed smoke coming from the deck area at about 3:10 p.m. Located next to an outdoor barbecue, she didn’t think

Langley selects Black, againBy BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
For the second time in two weeks, Robin Black was appointed to the Langley City Council after another city council vote Monday. Black was nominated by Councilman Bruce Allen, who was absent for the first vote on May 19, and voted in by councilmen Jim Sundberg and Thomas Gill. Despite briefly considering withdrawing her name from consideration, Black said she was pleased to have been sworn in June 2 on round two. “I’m really excited about it,” Black said. “There’s a lot of big issues at stake in the coming months and I’m glad to be a part of them.” The appointment process had to be redone after the city learned it erred in its procedure by allow-ing former Councilwoman Margot Jerome to vote on her replacement. Her resignation had ambiguous language that allowed for her to continue serving until the end of May or until the council found a new council member. But state law pro-hibits an outgoing council member from participating in a vote for their replace-ment.
Last month, Sundberg voted for Black which led to a tie vote. Gill and Neff voted for Sharon Emerson, and Mayor Fred McCarthy cast the tiebreaking vote for Black. Gill changed his vote Monday, and Neff decided to abstain from the vote as a way to express she was
