The birds of prey are expected to return from their southern migration in the next couple of weeks.

Judge rebukes prosecutor for talking to newspaper
By JESSIE STENSLAND
South Whidbey Record
The prosecutor’s case against the chief nursing officer at Whidbey General Hospital is moving forward to a trial on April 2.
Island County District Court Judge Bill Hawkins ruled against the defense attorney’s motion to dis-miss the case against Linda Gipson, who is fac-ing a fourth-degree assault charge for allegedly assault-ing a patient in May of 2014.
At the same time, Hawkins found that the attorney’s claim of prosecu-torial misconduct was not frivolous — as the deputy prosecutor contended — but that the actions did not rise to a level to warrant dismissal.
Hawkins was especially critical of Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks for making comments to the newspaper about the case, saying it was “quite con-cerning.”
“It was not the kind of conduct the court would like to see in the future,” he said. “If it occurs in the future, the court would not hesitate to take action.”
Hawkins hasn’t made a decision yet on whether a video taken of the alleged victim earlier on the day of the assault can be played during the trial.
Hawkins watched the video, which was surrepti-tiously taken by a nurse’s aide, in order to determine if
the recording of the patient moaning and calling out for help while strapped to a bed in a room by herself consti-tutes a private conversation under the law. If it was pri-vate, it might be considered an illegal recording and not admissible.
The woman was suffering from mental health issues and had been restrained in the bed at Whidbey General Hospital for days, accord-ing to court records. In the recording, she is seen restrained and calling out that she wants to get her “needs met” and that the hospital wasn’t the right place for someone with mental illness.
Hawkins asked the prosecution to present evidence at a future hear-ing on whether the patient could be heard outside of
the room and to whom she was calling out, in order to determine if it was meant as a private conversation.
Gipson’s attorney, Andrew Schwarz of Seattle, made extensive claims about improprieties on the part of Coupeville Marshal Rick Norrie, Deputy Prosecutor Jacqueline Lawrence and Banks.
Schwarz argued that comments Banks made to the newspaper were viola-tions of the code of pro-fessional conduct and have poisoned the jury pool. He also faulted the newspa-per for reporting on public documents and public court
hearings.Hawkins agreed that he
was troubled by the state-ments that Banks made.
Hawkins read from a January story that ran in The South Whidbey Record and the Whidbey News-Times in which Banks is quoted extensively. In the story, Banks was critical of the hospital administration for allegedly shielding the investigation of Gipson’s conduct behind a secretive “quality assurance” provi-sion, telling inconsistent stories on the stand and handling misconduct alle-gations differently depend-ing on the employee. He
accused the administrators of “cronyism.”
Hawkins pointed to Rule 3.8, which is “the special responsibilities of a pros-ecutor.” It states that pros-ecutors should “refrain from making extrajudicial comments that have a sub-stantial likelihood of height-ening public condemnation of the accused.”
Lawrence emphasized that Banks’ c r i t i c i s m s were largely d i r e c t e d at hospital admin is t ra -tors other than Gipson, t h o u g h S c h w a r z argued that she and the hospital were tied together. Schwarz noted that Banks was quot-ed as saying that Gipson had declined to be inter-viewed by the police, which was also stated in the police report and reported in the newspapers previously.
Lawrence said that the hospital’s CEO, Tom Tomasino, made com-ments about the case in the newspapers, claiming that Gipson was innocent.
Schwarz has also been quoted, though Lawrence did not highlight that fact. Schwarz said that Gipson is innocent and that Banks and the sheriff’s office are
politically motivated in going after her.
Lawrence argued that the newspaper articles are not likely to taint the jury pool. She pointed out that a recent murder trial was cov-ered by newspapers across the state but that the court didn’t have a problem seat-ing a jury.
Hawkins agreed that it’s extremely rare to have t r o u b l e empaneling an unbi-ased jury in Island C o u n t y c a s e s . Many peo-ple don’t read or remember
details about cases, he sug-gested.
Banks did not attend the hearing. Afterward, he asserted that he did not believe he violated any codes of conduct by com-menting about the hospi-tal administration. He said that, as an elected official, he feels a duty to publicly comment about his con-cerns.
“I think that’s an impor-tant role I have,” he said.

None injured by house fire
A fire significantly dam-aged a Clinton home Thursday afternoon.
South Whidbey Fire/EMS firefighters respond-ed to reports of a home on fire on Central Avenue in Clinton, less than 500 feet from the fire protec-tion district’s Clinton sta-tion. Firefighters respond-ed quickly to knock down the flames that Deputy Chief Jon Beck said may have started in an upstairs
bedroom. A woman and two
children were home at the time, he said, and all escaped unscathed.
Within minutes, the blaze was extinguished and firefighters spent nearly an hour checking for flare ups and securing the two-story home with cedar siding.
“The whole upstairs has significant damage,” said Beck, adding that there was smoke damage throughout both levels of the home.
From the street, the back upper corner of the house was visibly charred. A haze covered Clinton’s
commercial core for about 30 minutes during the fire, reaching as far north as Bob Galbreath Road.
The first fire truck to arrive ran out of water while running two hoses to attack the flames. A second truck connected to a hydrant at the end of the block to continue the flow.
Beck said 18 firefighters responded to the call.
Neighbors and onlook-ers peered over fences, from porches and win-dows as the fire was extin-guished.
Districts agree to join golf teams
A select number of Coupeville School District students will have the opportunity to participate in the South Whidbey School District’s boys golf
program, according to a cooperative inter-local agreement.
The South Whidbey School District board of directors approved the Cooperative Inter-local Agreement Interscholastic Golf Program at a recent business meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 25.
The agreement states that cooperative student programs of this kind pro-vide a more efficient and economical basis for man-aging and implementing certain sports programs and helps districts to avoid unnecessary dupli-cation of expensive pro-grams, such as golf.
Two students from the Coupeville district who meet necessary require-ments will be allowed to participate as a part of South Whidbey’s team.
The agreement will be effective for the present 2014-15 school year as well as the 2015-16 school year.

Neighbors watch as South Whidbey Fire/EMS firefighters monitor a Clinton home after a fire ravaged it Thursday afternoon.
Herzberg, to cover some front desk duties. That will allow deputy clerk Cheryl Knighton to set up a sys-tem of naming and labeling and to instruct employees on a simpler way of identifying and saving documents.
Currently, not all digital files and documents are saved on the city’s net-work. When a request comes in, such as one Mahler is working on now that asked for all of the city’s financial reports and budgets between 2008 and 2015, she has to go to each com-puter to look for documents that may pertain to the request, print them out and assemble them.
“That’s just a lot of sitting at the copier scanning,” she said.
“They’re a pain in the butt, but it’s information that the public is entitled to and we want to get it to them, we just need an easier way,” she added.
The staffing change was already budgeted for 2015. Mahler told the council she expected the increased
hours, which will bump Herzberg from 10 to 22 hours per week starting April 1, to cost $11,500.
No other positions or departments are impacted by the staffing increase because it was included in this year’s budget. Mahler expected she would need to keep the positions through the year. The mayor, despite Mahler informing the council that Langley used to have a position to deal with records before the recession, said the city would not add a full-time position solely devoted to records requests.
“What we’ve added should be the right staffing level to handle what disclosure requests may come in in the future,” McCarthy said.
Langley will also look into how it can better host public documents. Mahler said the city has discussed setting up a public computer from which people can come to city hall to search records. The city has not, however, gone so far as to investigate what future record-keeping software or a public computer terminal may cost.
essary headache, resulting in complaints from open government advocates, additional records requests and objections from parents who are threatening legal action for alleged breaches of student privacy laws, all of which have been covered in a series of newspaper sto-ries. It’s taking away from her duties as superintendent.
“I’ve got important things that really need to be done, and this is distracting,” Moccia said.
In December, district officials began including in online school board agendas a specially created document that named requesters, the information they asked for, and the time and esti-mated cost of fulfilling the request. Officials claimed it was in response to rising legal fees associated with records requests.
The policy quickly came under fire, however, as a retaliatory measure against Eric Hood, a for-mer teacher who has sued the district for alleged records violations and was subsequently labeled
by school board members and officials as an abusive requester. He is blamed for racking up about $400,000 in legal fees.
Hood, who has declined requests for comment since January, released a state-ment this week noting a 2011 email in which Moccia com-mitted to an environment of transparency and strict com-pliance with the state Open Public Records Act.
“Four years and hundreds of thousands of squandered dollars later, our school dis-trict leaders may yet learn to respect student privacy, be transparent, and act civ-illy, but only if compelled by law,” wrote Hood, in the statement.
Mark Helpenstell, a par-ent who claims the inclusion of his name and records
request on the district’s online document was a vio-lation of the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, said removing names is a step in the right direction. The district has already changed the descrip-tion of his request to say only “student records.”
He contends, however, all the entries from 2014 should be removed entirely. The first document online listed requests over the past calendar year, but only one of Hood’s and those in December contained cost or time estimates. School offi-cials say the inconsistency is because that informa-tion largely wasn’t being tracked until the document went live, but Helpenstell said that if financial infor-mation is all the district
is interested in then the 2014 entries such as names should be removed.
“If you’re doing it to pro-vide data, you haven’t done that,” Helpenstell said. “If you’re trying to embarrass people by publishing names and descriptions, then I’d say they’ve accomplished that goal.”
“Those records should be stricken entirely,” he said.
Director Linda Racicot, school board chairwoman, was aware of Moccia’s planned recommendation as she helps set the agenda; she meets with the superin-
tendent and one other board member once a week. The idea, she said, was to come up with a solution to bal-ance financial reporting and voiced concerns.
“I’m very hopeful we can make it a non-issue,” Racicot said.
Also on the agenda is whether or not to post online recordings of school board meetings, a measure Racicot supports, improvements to the district’s records request process and responding to media requests.

The workers began at around 7:30 a.m. Thursday and continued working through Friday morning.
Kaiser noted that osprey have been nesting upon man-made structures since 1905, when they made their home atop a telegraph pole, prompt-ing area residents to provide them with a platform fash-ioned from a wagon wheel to prevent the pole from top-pling.
The nest platform pro-vided by Osprey Solutions is composed of lightweight, high-strength aluminum alloy supported by a frame of angle aluminum. The bottom is made of a lattice of plastic and a four-inch plastic border. A cedar perch, situated down-wind and parallel to the nest area, provides a safe place for the mature osprey to guard their nestlings from aerial predators. An anti-predator guard is situated on the pole about 10 feet off the ground in order to prevent ground predators from climbing to the nest.
“We’re optimistic that it’ll go well and the birds will like their new home, and their new view,” said Miller.
Miller and others will inspect the nest periodically to remove any materials that may harm the birds, such as fishing wire.
In order to prevent osprey or other birds from nesting on any of the light poles in the future, the crew installed nest inhibitors.
According to Miller and Swartz, students at the high school are enthused at the idea of eventually procuring a web camera to situate on the post near the nest, in order to learn more about the bird’s behavior.
The district and Whidbey Audubon Society have been unable to purchase one as of yet, but will accept a donation if anyone in the community would like to contribute.

ResponseThe time to voice opinions on a Langley lift is nowEditor,
I agree with Ron Kasprisin’s March 14 assertion that, “continuous, vocif-erous and intense support” for the Langley funicular is suspect. The city and a few others, including Kasprisin himself, have tried for years to push this project through with little public awareness or participation. In 2008, Kasprisin facilitated several months of closed-door meetings with the city plan-ner, Larry Cort, and Paul Schell to plan development of the waterfront featuring mechanical assist to Cascade Avenue and determining changes to zoning codes regarding height restrictions and setbacks from the bluff to support it.
I disagree that Langleyites should withhold opinion until the new city plan-ner, Michael Davolio, provides his rec-ommendation to the city council. That is not how a democratic process works. Davolio is requesting we provide our inputs at the public meeting, set for April 14, so he can use them in reaching
a conclusion. Kasprisin indicates the new city planner does not need input from the community to form an “objec-tive” opinion. The former city planner, Jeff Arango, did not want community input. We have yet to see how important public input is to Davolio.
The city planner works for the mayor and alongside many city council mem-bers that strongly support the funicular and are eager to see it come to fruition. If the city planner recommends a funic-ular, the proposal goes to the council for vote. With Mayor Fred McCarthy and this council, the funicular will proceed.
It is wrong for Kasprisin to say that the city planner should decide what is best for Langley because the planner is “experienced, knowledgeable, and objective.” Who decides “objective”? Is that possible? The community should not step back and entrust this important decision to the planner and city leaders. Each of us has experience, knowledge, and the ability to reason. Our conclu-sions are equally important and should be considered crucial to the city.
Most already have an opinion of the funicular, whether they want to fund it, if they think it is needed and will provide great benefit to the city and whether
they think the risks are acceptable. The public meeting is the best and possibly only visible opportunity that individuals will have to provide input to the city planner before his recommendation.
Speak soon or forever hold your peace. Mark your calendar April 14.

Letter writer says he’s not an abusive requesterEditor,
School Board legislative representa-tive Rocco Gianni spoke in support of a bill that hinders access to public records. To make a case for deterring records requesters, he testified that a “former teacher’s” records requests cost the district $500,000 and that Superintendent Jo Moccia, who he characterized as an “expensive secre-tary,” wasted time perusing and redact-ing records. He called the situation “not morally ethical” and “a crime against children.”

City, schools headed in the right direction
Editorial
Today is the last day of Sunshine Week, a nationwide cel-ebration created by journalists to shed light on our country’s state and federal freedom of information laws.
And if you haven’t noticed The Record has been writing quite a bit about transparency recently. In this very issue are two stories about officials at two Whidbey public entities — Langley and the South Whidbey School District — who are looking to improve their responsiveness, their efficiency and dedication to the Washington Open Public Records Act.
For this, our hats are off to them.At the school district, directors are expected to consider
several improvements in transparency next week, from resuming the practice of recording board meetings and post-ing them online to administrative changes that could enhance staff’s efficiency in responding to records requests. And per-haps most importantly, the board will consider a change in a controversial policy of identifying requesters on the district’s website. A description of the information sought and an esti-mate of the time and cost to fulfill the request would remain but names would be replaced with a non-identifier, such as a number or a letter.
District officials have maintained the practice was meant to keep the board informed about the cost of public records requests, which hover around $400,000 since 2011. But with those expenses revolving nearly entirely around a single person, one who’s been labeled an abusive requester by school leaders, critics have rightly cried foul, saying the policy appears more like retaliation than a means of keeping the board informed. Indeed, it’s hard to claim this was about finances when names do absolutely nothing to communicate matters of dollars and cents.
Under state rules, the names of requesters are in fact public records, so it seems backward to argue that the district should stop broadcasting those details in the name of transparency. But that’s just what needs to happen. The board’s original intent is irrelevant. What matters is that people feel less free to ask for information, and a policy that does that is contrary to the spirit of our sunshine laws.
Langley’s situation is less complicated. City hall has seen a rise in requests and the records officer is swamped. To address the issue, Langley is spending money on additional help, and looking to streamline its processes.
This is the right way to handle the issue. Rather than pur-suing measures that dissuade the public from exercising its right to ask for records, the city is focusing on how it can bet-ter perform its state-mandated obligations.
Despite the differences in how Langley and the school district approached the problems associated with records requests and arrived where they are today, it’s encouraging that both are looking to improve transparency. Government is a tough and often thankless job, and officials who are willing to accept public feedback, make changes where needed and sharpen the tools of their own accountability demonstrate why they deserve our trust.

lawmakers and The Record, where costs were recently estimated at $400,000, omit or misrepresent the following facts, all verifiable by public records:
I, “the former teacher,” requested records concern-ing myself that were allegedly secretly kept by a former dis-trict superintendent.
I requested records con-firming that the district over-counted enrollment at tiny Bayview School in 2010-2011, a purported misunderstand-ing that required it to return approximately $100,000 to the state.
It required me to request some records.
It “inadvertently” and inten-tionally destroyed unknown numbers of records while responding to my requests.
It disclosed the names of students to me who failed to qualify for its Highly Capable Learner’s program, and the “tier” placement of approxi-mately 100 HCL students,
though I didn’t request such information.
It disclosed hundreds of records to me long after Moccia claimed she had completed a “thorough” search, only after my repeat-ed requests, and only after I sued it for violating the state’s Open Public Records Act.
It knew its insurer didn’t cover PRA lawsuits, and thus spends money meant for stu-dents to pay lawsuit costs.
Moccia testified under oath that attorneys — not Moccia — reviewed and exempted records.
In short, the district paid its Seattle attorneys hun-dreds of dollars an hour to ineptly respond to my legiti-mate records requests — a judge later ruled against the district for the untimely pro-duction of documents — and
wasted “$500,000,” accord-ing to Gianni, unsuccessfully defending its violation of the records act.
“Expensive secretaries” indeed. Instead of admitting wrongdoing, it maliciously appeals to public opinion and urges greater governmental secrecy. Worse, it retaliated against records-requesting parents by publicizing their children’s confidential infor-mation, another violation of federal law. Using children as shields has triggered more legal actions and attracted the attention of civil rights organi-zations. The district continues to enrich its attorneys with taxpayer money intended for students.

Theresia Martin Korvin
Theresia Martin Korvin, 90, was born Nov. 12, 1924, in Egyhazaskozar, Hungary. She passed away peacefully in her sleep March 1, 2015, at Summerhill Assisted Living on Whidbey Island.
Theresia was one of
six children born into an incredibly loving and
happy family. She married John Korvin in 1944, and their son, Johnny, was born the next year. They fled Hungary and lived in a displaced persons camp in Germany, where two daughters were born. Magdalena was born in 1948 but passed away at 6 months from pneumonia. Their daughter Maggie was born in 1950. In 1952, they were sponsored to the U.S. by Fremont Baptist Church in Seattle. This amazing congregation helped them find a home, suitable employment and
learn the language. In 1956, their son Willy was born and their daughter Beth in 1962. They raised their family on Phinney Ridge in Ballard. Our mom was a gifted teacher and worked for many years at Greenlake Elementary with children with special needs.
After retiring, Theresia lived in Anacortes and Mount Vernon but settled on Whidbey Island for the last 12 years. Theresia loved everyone, and if you knew her for a moment or a lifetime, you knew it!
She was little in stature but BIG in heart. She loved unconditionally, was positive under the tough-est conditions and never complained. She had a strong faith and always felt she had a blessed life. Our mom could cook a feast for 100 with little notice and would drop everything when a grandchild visited. Simply said, she was amaz-ing! “Her spirit will live forever in her family and all the good she brought this world, and in her words, “RIGHT ON!”
Our mom was preceded
in death by three children, John, Magdalena and Maggie, and grandson, Joshua. She is survived by her husband, John; son, Willy (Robyn, Grey and Levi); daughter, Beth (Gary, Lake and Leo); daughter-in-law, Consuelo (Auzha, Crystal, Starr and Genny ); and many great-grandchildren.
Theresia’s family would like to thank everyone at Summerhill for making her last year so comfortable and full of joy. We will be celebrating her life at a future date.

Cedarcrest shuts out sluggers, girls tennis rebounds
Read about the Falcon baseball team’s contest against Cedarcrest and South
Whidbey girls tennis’ matches against Friday Harbor and Coupeville by visiting the sports section of www.southwhidbey record.com.
Two Falcon boys recorded hat tricks against their island rivals, the Coupeville Wolves, in a non-league soccer game Thursday night.
Playing in Coupeville, South Whidbey took a quick start and rolled to a 9-0 win. Falcon seniors Jeff Meier and Kai da Rosa each scored three goals. Lucas Leiberman, a junior midfielder, scored a pair of goals. Lucas Fulton, a junior reserve forward, scored a goal on a header.
“I could not have been more pleased,” said Falcon co-head coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins. “I think it was the best game I’ve ever seen South Whidbey play in my four years.”
“It was just a beautiful thing to watch. It was soccer the way the game was meant to be played … We’re definitely off to the right start.”
Robbins credited the offense’s speed for
creating 39 shots on goal, which he believed may be a school record. More than that, he was thrilled at how the offense worked together to score from different points on the field.
“Other teams might look at Kai and say he scores a lot of goals, but we got a lot of scores from the right mid, the attacking mid,” Robbins said.
“When everything’s clicking and we’ve got everyone involved, it’s a pretty impres-sive team,” he added.
As has happened in past meetings between the two Whidbey soccer squads, play was at times mired by physicality. Each team had a player issued a yellow card, essentially an official warning by the referee.
“It got a little chippy at times, but you kind of expect it between South Whidbey and Coupeville,” Robbins said.

South Whidbey was on both ends of lopsided games this week after routing Friday Harbor 12-0 Tuesday and being drubbed by Granite Falls 14-1 Thursday.
The Falcons clobbered the Wolverines after taking an early lead, 3-0 in the third inning March 17 for South Whidbey’s first game of the season. South Whidbey poured in more scoring in the fifth inning thanks to a pair of home runs. Callie Patterson, the Falcons’ senior second baseman, knocked a three-run homer that was later fol-lowed by senior catcher Anne Madsen’s two-run blast.
Mackenzee Collins, South Whidbey’s freshman pitcher, kept the defense mostly on its laurels as she recorded 13 strikeouts.
“That’s what I want, to make my fielders not have to field,” said Falcon head coach Tim Collins, also Mackenzee’s dad.
“She’s still a 14-year-old girl and there are 18-year-old girls that hit the ball,” he added, referring to other teams’ players in the Cascade Conference.
That seemed to come true as South Whidbey suffered its first loss, and a short one due to the 10-run mercy rule, against Granite Falls
on March 19. Collins again started in the circle for South Whidbey, but gave up nine runs in five innings. Eight of the scores came in the third inning, a disastrous outing for the Falcons.
Bella Northup, also a Falcon freshman, took the ball in the sixth inning and gave up another five runs.
South Whidbey’s hitting was largely stymied, howev-
er, as the Falcons recorded only three hits against the Tigers.
Batting was a concern for the Falcons’ coach despite the team’s success and nine hits against Friday Harbor. He cited South Whidbey’s nine strikeouts as being wor-risome heading into confer-ence play.

When Langley resident Fred Lundahl first passed through Turkey on his way to the Caucasus of Central Asia, he was equally impressed by the architectur-al beauty of the Hagia Sophia and the genuine welcoming nature of the nation’s people.
It is this same warmth that inspired Josette Hendrix, director of Northwest Language Academy and Cultural Center in Langley, to name the next installation in the organization’s Language of Food series “Hosgeldiniz,” which means welcome in Turkish.
Language of Food aims to connect individuals through cross-cultural community gatherings featuring food, conversation, cultural presen-tations, music and dance.
This month’s event will feature Turkey, a country which Lundahl describes as, “a modern, social media-conscious population overlay-ing one of the most ancient civilizations in the world.”
Hosgeldiniz takes place at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 28, and will begin with a bazaar filled with Turkish imports including jewelry, clothing accoutrements and figurines. This will be fol-lowed by a feast of Turkish cuisine and performances of music and dance. The dinner and event costs $65.
The Turkish Honorary Consul of Seattle Ufuk Bey Gokcen and Recep Demir, Turkey’s commercial atta-che will both be present, as will Dilek Tezcan Anderson and Yasemin San of the Turkish cultural organiza-tions Turckcha and Tacawa, according to the Northwest Language Academy website.
Anadolu Youth Dancers, a group of Turkish American children from the Seattle area, will perform. Bob Beer and Izumi Fairbanks will play Turkish folk music on kemane, kemenche and Pontic lyra and baglama (tra-ditional string instruments) and drum while pop group Sehr-i Seattle will perform a medley of popular modern Turkish songs. The Mutrib Orchestra, a group of musi-cians from the Mevlevi Order of America, will play both classical Turkish music and Sufi songs, including
ilahis, and will demonstrate turning. Audience members will be encouraged to join in learning some basic turning gestures as well as the call and response of ilahi.
Preceding the evening’s festivities, Süreyya Gökeri, co-owner of Seattle’s Cafe Turko, will lead a cooking class from 2-5 p.m. The class costs $35, which includes a recipe book. Hendrix explained that the dishes will consist of traditional recipes which individuals can make at home.
One week prior, on Sunday, March 22, Lundahl
will join Graham Umit Dogan, owner of the boutique travel agency Treasures of Travel, for a presentation and discussion.
Dogan will also offer tips on traveling to Turkey for those who are interested. Admission to Sunday’s event is by donation at the door.
Hendrix said she hopes that each of the events will present an opportunity to facilitate a discussion that will illuminate a more “human view” of current events, including Turkey’s unique position on the world stage.
Lundahl, who owns the
downtown Langley shop Music for the Eyes, has trav-eled to Turkey 20-30 times since his first visit several years ago. He and his wife make the trip annually, acquiring new goods for the shop, visiting with friends and exploring new places.
Despite their frequent visits, Lundahl said he and his wife still have places they have yet to explore, due to the country’s numerous ancient historical sites and natural beauty.
Just last year, Lundahl noted, archaeologists dis-
covered a 14,500-year-old temple, which was featured in National Geographic as an astonishing and important find.
The ancient city of Troy was also located in the area now known as Turkey, according to the World Heritage Centre.
“We’re proud of stuff that is 300 years old,” Lundahl said. “They are proud of stuff that is 3,000 years old.”
He added that the Hagia Sophia, the architectural wonder which so impressed him upon his first visit,
embodies the evolution of Turkey and its ancient roots.
The building was built in 537, and served as a Greek Orthodox patriarchal basilica. It was converted to a mosque following the fall of the Ottoman’s conquest of Constantinople, and pres-ently is a museum.
“It is so awe-inspiring,” he said.
