The 2015 election races are starting to take shape days ahead of the official Island County filing week, May 11-15.
Two men plan to seek votes to become the next mayor of Langley, and a possible
third challenger is undecided. Thomas Gill, a Langley city councilman,
and Tim Callison, a Langley resident, both confirmed they will seek the seat in the November general election.
Mayor Fred McCarthy announced in April that he would not run for re-election after filling out a term vacated by Larry

Callison applied to be appointed to a vacated city council position previously held by Margot Jerome. He and wife Robin Black both applied for the position before the council ultimately voted in Black.
“I won’t equivocate, I’m running for

“Barring any unforeseen thing I can’t think of, I’m going to run,” he added.

Teachers, students protest By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record
South Whidbey School District educators protested the state’s lack of funding for public schools with a walk-out on Wednesday.
Teachers, parents, students, administra-tors, retired educators and one school board director, Rocco Gianni, rallied at 1 p.m. at Castle Park before heading to the corners of Maxwelton to picket.
Vice President of Washington Education
Association (WEA) Steven Miller and a sec-ond WEA Fourth Corner representative were also present at the rally.
A complaint filed by the state nurses’ association last month includes a claim that Whidbey General Hospital withheld requested information several times in recent months.
The action filed with the state’s Public Employment Relations Commission, or PERC, comes during the hospital’s regular three-year

State to close SW state park campgrounds
The campgrounds at South Whidbey State Park will be closed this year for safety rea-sons, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission announced Friday.
The action addresses concerns posed by failing and diseased old-growth trees in the campground portion of the 347-acre park, according to a new release.

Scout troop is hoping to help victims of the recent earthquake that laid waste to Nepal.
Troop 43514 is working on a group project for
the bronze award, and decided the community project should be a car wash and bake/craft sale fundraiser.
The troop set out a goal of raising $1,000
through the event sched-uled for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 9 at the Les Schwab Tire Center in Clinton.
“We want to help the Scouts in Nepal that are
working hard to help in their communities clean up and recover from this terrible disaster,” said troop leader Jenny Staats in an email to The Record.
In the news release, the
Scouts noted that while they enjoyed their annual “Encamporee” retreat, the 22,000 Girl Scouts in Nepal experienced “the worst earthquake of their lives.”

State Farm Insurance awarded a $5,000 grant to the Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County (IDIPIC) for the fourth consecutive year, according to a recent press release.
The grant will go towards covering the cost of materials used in IDIPIC’s work with middle school and driver’s edu-cation students.
Besides DUI impact panels, IDIPIC offers com-prehensive safety classes to educate youth about the dangers of underage
drinking, illicit drug use and driving under the influence. Classes range from elementary to high school and beyond.
“Think, Don’t Drink, Drug and Drive” is the name of IDIPIC’s popular safety seminar which has been provided to driver’s education classes since 2002. Recently, South Whidbey High School teacher John LaVassar’s class attended this semi-nar.
The seminar includes a video, discussion on indi-cators of impairment and
a simulation of walking the line with impairment goggles followed by a question and answer ses-sion and quiz.
All Whidbey driving instructors require stu-dents to attend the IDIPIC panel, according to the release. Students must attend with a parent or guardian.
Students who are not enrolled in a driver’s education school are also welcome to attend.
The 5,000th student to attend was Kacie Hanson, a South Whidbey High
School sophomore. IDIPIC is a non-profit
organization and was established in 2009. It is dedicated to deterring DUI driving and under-age drinking through education and increased awareness.
Since its inception, more than 30,000 have attended the DUI/under-age drinking prevention panels which are held in Freeland, Oak Harbor, and at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Rollover crash sends one to WGH
A woman was sent to the hospital Tuesday after a rollover accident on Highway 525.
The crash occurred just before 3 p.m. south of the traffic light at Ken’s Korner
in Clinton. Sgt. Laura Price with the Island County Sheriff’s Office said the sole occupant was transported to Whidbey General Hospital. It’s unclear whether she suf-fered injuries in the crash or went as a precaution-ary measure.
The woman, driving a white Nissan pickup truck, was southbound heading toward the ferry when she
slammed on her brakes to avoid hitting backed up traffic on the highway, according to Price. The driver turned to avoid the vehicles in front of her but began to slide and rolled into a shallow ditch.
Wet roads may have contributed to the acci-dent, Price said.
The truck came to rest on its roof, and one or more motorists stopped to help the woman out of the stricken vehicle. The witnesses left the scene when emergency responders arrived.
The southbound lane was closed for less than one hour following the accident.
Health Heroes to be honored
Recipients of the annual Linda Lee Martins Community Health Hero Awards will be honored as a special meeting 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 12.
The Island County Board of Health join with the Community Health Advisory Board at the Pacific Rim Institute, 180 Parker Road in Coupeville for the award ceremony that is open to the public.
Past recipients, who are selected from a pool nominated by the com-munity, have been Island County residents, organi-zations and businesses.
The award is named in
honor of the late Linda Lee Martens and began in 2000. She died in 2001 from cancer.
Martens has been described as “an ordinary person with an extraordi-nary love for others.”
A longtime community activist, Martens served as the executive secretary of the Health Department and as president of Soroptimist International and was involved in numerous community service activities at the local and national level.
Park Street water work approved
Work to install a new water main line on Park Avenue was approved for SRV Construction by the Langley City Council on May 4.
Public Works Director Stan Berryman told the council that the company’s bid was well under the city’s official estimate of $160,000 for the work. SRV Construction bid the job at $122,300. Six companies submitted bids, with the highest at $268,000.
The water line is between Third and First streets, and the work should be finished by the end of June.

CORRECTIONIn the brief “Park Street to get new waterline” on page 4 of the Saturday, May 2 issue of The Record, water main work on First Street was inaccurately attributed. Krieg Construction was respon-sible for the public works project in 2013. In a story entitled “Freeland continues fight for growth in Comp Plan” in the May 6 issue of The Record, the views of Freeland Water and Sewer District Commissioner Lou Malzone were misstated. Malzone does not support the incorporation of Freeland and does support a down-sized version of the community’s potential sewer system.

Pop-up yoga clothing company visits Langley
A slice of the Big Apple will be in Langley next weekend when Half Moon Yoga hosts a pop-up shop featuring the spring collec-tion of Haven Collective, a New York City-based yoga clothing company.
The pop-up shop is from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 16, at the studio, located in Langley Village. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Hedgebrook, the international women writer’s retreat located on South Whidbey.
Founded by Tracy Squillante, the company makes yoga clothing that can be worn from the studio to street, said Joni
Takanikos, in a Monday new release.
“It is made here in the U.S. and the fabrics and style are impeccably beau-
tiful,” she said.For details, call 206-226-

The Langley Main Street Association continues to collect awards from down-town revitalization industry groups.
The non-profit pro-gram received two more awards at the RevitalizeWA conference this week in Bellingham. The Langley Main Street Association won Community Partnership for the group’s work with gardens on Second Street, the Langley Whale Center, electric golf cart shuttle service and downtown banners and Outstanding Special Project awards for the Monsters on Machines event in early 2013.
Both awards and the conference are put on by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation.
During a semiannual presentation to the Langley City Council on May 4, Langley Main Street Association President Janet Ploof spoke of some of the group’s projects and accomplishments. In its third year, Langley Main Street Association continues to grow and thrive thanks to members, dedicated tax dollars and collaboration, she said.
“Main Street has done exceptionally better because of our communica-tion with planning, parks and the chamber,” Ploof said, referring to the two city departments and the business group.
Main Street hopes to have a $90,000 budget, more than double in pre-vious years, thanks to increased membership and B&O tax pledges. That money pays for a part-time
program director, part-time and summer interns.
During the construction work on Second Street in early 2013, Main Street organized a Monsters on Machines day. Working with a local author who wrote a similarly-titled book, the construction crew opened up its heavy equipment for people to inspect and enter, even operating the horns.
Commercial core sales jumped that day, according to Ploof.
Much of the landscaping in the city’s commercial core is handled by and managed by Main Street. Hanging baskets around town are put up by the group, and the edible garden is tended to by its volunteers.
Mayor Fred McCarthy said the city often receives compliments on its foliage.
“We continue to get peo-ple coming to Langley and remarking on the gardens,” he said. “It’s a source of pride for the city.”
Ploof and other Main Street members along with McCarthy and Councilwoman Rene Neff said they would attend the Bellingham conference to accept the awards.

A� er years of diligent service to the men of this South Whidbey community, it has become obvious that there is a certain silent element that keeps this barbershop thriving.
YES, with seniors’ and boys’ cuts running $15, buzz cuts $10, we easily o� er the best price in town.
Between the two of us we have over70 years of hair cutting experience. � at’s even hard for me to believe!
We have the only exclusively MEN’s barbershop around — featuring male barbers. A rare � nd these days.
However, on this auspicious occasion, we want to recognize the WOMEN. � e wives and Mothers behind the scenes who make our wheels turn. From the “Man Cave” aka “Island Headquarters,” please accept this enormous THANK YOU!
How many times I have heard, “� e wife sez if I want dinner tonight, I’d better come home with a HAIRCUT”? Women are the driving force behind our success. � ey are the ones who voice appreciation for the quality we deliver, i.e, “Hey, the boss said that last cut was perfect!”
To be honest, these guys rarely look in the mirror. We’re lucky to get half of ‘em to take their hats o� long enough to do the cut. Without the much-appreciated voice from home, we could be doing a thankless job.
As a matter of fact, if it were not for you caring and attentive WOMEN, we might very well take up shearing sheep. So, for MOTHER’S DAY, we send you an enormous, heartfelt message of deep gratitude to all the women that keep us a� oat.

HealthDeal with the four D’s of doomEditor,
I’m doomed. I exercise, watch my diet, follow my doctor’s advice with medi-cations and tests. I carry emergency supplies, buck-le my seat belt, I’ve made my will and advanced directives. As an atheist, I don’t pray. I live in peace with respectful religious believers of all varieties.
I know I will die. As much as I can, I’m “prepped” for the great leap into nothing-ness.
Those of us with descen-dants, genetic, or adopted, hope they will carry on our values and fulfill dreams we couldn’t, while leaving room for their individuality.
Almost all of us strive in our various ways to leave the world a better place than we found it.
Most of us take it for granted that our species will carry on after we are dust or ash or soil. Sometimes humans are disgusting and despicable, but most of us are idealistic and caring.
Just as it took a while for us to (mostly) discard racism and the other 31 flavors of prejudice and evil error that’s corrupted so much of human history, it’s gradually impinging on our global consciousness that not only each of us as individuals, but all of us as a species are mortal. Not some billion years in the dim future when the sun goes nova. Perhaps by the end of the 21st Century. Some label it “global warm-
ing”; some tag it the “6th Extinction.”
The time to prevent our species’ extinction grows short. More and more people are realizing our plight, and working in vari-ous ways to keep humans from going extinct in the 21st Century. I applaud you for what you are doing. I invite you to attend three meetings to deal with the four D’s of doom — denial, depression, distraction, and delight — from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, May 14 at Freeland Library; from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, June 17 at South Whidbey Fire Station; or from 6:30-8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12 at Bayview Senior Center.

Your April 29 editor’s column, “A Rebirth for Clinton?” questions what purpose a roundabout in Clinton, or a traffic light on Highway 525, would serve, beyond slowing traffic and perhaps causing some of those car drivers shooting off the ferry to take a look around, maybe even stop.

Waiting for candidates akin to Christmas eve
Editor’s column
It’s Friday morning, the sun is shining and next week is filing week.
That might not get a lot of motors running, but for political junkies and journalists it might as well be Christmas. And I gotta tell you this guy can’t wait to open his presents. There are a lot of seats up for grabs, which means this is shaping up to be a big election year for Whidbey Island.
At the risk of ruining my self-imagined public image of professionalism, I admit next week and the months that follow can’t come soon enough. The people, the debates, the shockers and headlines; no self-respecting newsman — the honest ones anyway — can say they aren’t drool-ing just a little over the fun ahead.
The hardest part is waiting, waiting to find out who is running and who isn’t. Most newspapers can’t, which is why they publish stories ahead of time, spoiling the juicy details before filing week actually begins (see page 1). While most people are upfront about their election plans, there are always a few who keep their intentions secret until the very last minute. Sometimes it’s because they haven’t made up their minds, and in other cases it’s because they want to see who is filing before they make a final, and public, decision.
Rubbish. Waiting until the last minute, especially if it’s to better
calculate the odds of a successful bid for office, may be clever political maneuvering but it’s cruel to salivating newspaper editors such as myself. If you’re going to run, run and quit teasing dogs with a bone.
Someone should lobby the Legislature to create an announcement day, which would officially precede filing week. The results, however, would not be posted as can-didates announce, but at the end of the day. That way, crafty political hopefuls couldn’t pick and choose which race to enter based on perceived odds — they’d actu-ally have to be upfront about which position/office they really want — and it would eliminate those who are only running if their friends aren’t.
Again, if you want to run, run. And tell everybody about it beforehand. If not a trial run in transparency, it’s at least a mercy to those who can’t wait to find who may or may not be Langley’s next mayor, city council member, school board director, parks commissioner or whatever.

may well take a while, but there is very good reason for a roundabout right now — to serve us, the residents of Clinton, as we walk the village on our various tasks: a stop at the library, a stop at the post office, perhaps a stop to buy milk and eggs at Clinton Food Mart or cash a check at the bank. You see the roundabout will serve the walking, running and biking residents a great deal; it will slow traffic and we can negotiate without anxiety crossing Highway 525. We might be wanting to walk to or from Cozy’s, or to or from either bank. Or simply we might want to stroll up to DQ for an ice cream cone some warm summer day, or even up the hill to Hong Kong Gardens.
Enjoying the real servic-es our village offers us — on whichever side of Highway 525 those businesses are located and from whichever side we live or are parked — means we must have a safe crossing where yes, traffic is indeed slowed and we can trust that the traffic will notice us.
We residents know the retail services we have in the village of Clinton and we use what we have. A roundabout is essential for our community to walk across Highway 525 with-out fear of those rockets shooting off the ferry. Besides we will make that roundabout beautiful with flowers almost all year long because we will care about this. It will be our round-about.
Sincerely,ELISA MILLER

ThanksCrew made good on namesake eventEditor,
I just want to once again thank Hearts & Hammers for all of their help. They were terrific — Dave Love, Richard Epstein and the crack crew at South Whidbey Plumbing.
They have big hearts and big hammers.
Please volunteer to help others.
MERLA HALBEISENLangley
Proud to be part of helpful communityEditor,
On Saturday, May 2 I had the privilege of seeing the Hearts & Hammers group in action. As an American Red Cross volunteer I was involved in a project we have which is designed to place smoke detectors in as many homes as possible. As part of the project I vis-ited 10 of the 30-plus Hearts & Hammers crews which were working on people’s homes that day on South Whidbey.
I couldn’t have been more impressed with the level of professionalism and care the workers were giving the people who needed help. Everyone I came across was cheerful and happy in what they were doing.
These weren’t small proj-ects like raising mail boxes, these were major home improvements. In at least three homes I saw com-plete floors being installed; at one a crew was installing thousands of dollars worth of laminated flooring. I saw roofs being repaired. I saw trained professionals giv-ing their valuable time and labors to people in need.
I have always felt that the true mark of a person is how they treat the people who can give nothing in return. The crews I met certainly passed that test, and they made me feel proud to be part of the South Whidbey community.
KIRK LACEWELLLangley
Response Ideas should focus on harbor projectsEditor,
In the wake of the char-rette, it is evident that Langley residents have little interest in supporting a funic-ular to ferry people from the
harbor to town (page one story, May 2). By contrast, there seems to be much enthusiasm for the Port of South Whidbey’s future (and ambitious) plans to expand the marina. Perhaps now is an opportune time to con-sider what the city might do to create economic opportu-nities down at the harbor.
Langley harbor used to be a significant boating desti-nation, partly for the local fishing but mostly because it was a convenient fuel-ing stop for those leaving Seattle and heading north to the San Juan’s. It is only in recent years that we have come to consider Langley’s merchants as the draw for tourists. Back in the day, Barney’s Marina tended to this boat traffic, offering fuel, tackle and boat repair/stor-age facilities.
If the city wants to encour-age boat-related economic activity (tourism, but also local boaters), it should work together with the port to help bring a fuel dock back to Langley. A fueling facility, combined with a small bait shop, snack shack and parts
store, would draw boaters to, and provide additional eco-nomic opportunities around, Langley’s harbor.
This is not an easy fix. Floating fueling stations have become expensive, due to heightened environmen-tal and regulatory require-ments. Indeed, this is the rea-son why there are fewer fuel-ing docks serving a growing fleet of boats. If the city and port could work together, however, they might over-come these challenges. After all, if Langley can afford something as whimsical as a funicular, we should be able to fund an important part of the local transpor-tation infrastructure. Better yet: this sort of project would
serve residents, merchants and tourists alike.
By building a marine fueling infrastructure, and encouraging local entrepre-neurs to connect to it (fuel, bait and tackle, snacks, groceries…), Langley can become even more attractive to both local and transient boaters.

Andy Zisette scored two goals to power South Whidbey boys soccer past Sultan 3-0 in the 1A District 1 tournament Wednesday.
Despite previously roll-ing through the Turks, the Falcons struggled. South Whidbey’s formidable offense that had previously scored 25 unanswered goals against Sultan in Cascade Conference play this season was largely off the mark.
“We were expecting to just walk in here and score like we’ve been playing against these guys. We didn’t and we overestimated ourselves,” said Falcon junior Lucas Leiberman, who scored the game’s first goal. “That’s just in the head. Getting in front of the goal, it’s nerve-wracking.”
Leiberman opened the game with its first goal in the 17th minute on a cross from senior Jeff Meier. The ball bounced across the box past several players to Leiberman’s foot, who sent the ball rolling into the net.
After the match, Leiberman took the opportu-nity to unveil a large banner with the help of teammates asking a girl to the school’s prom dance and also hand-ing her a bouquet of roses. She said “yes.”
“We’re used to scoring on this team and it was expect-ed that we’d come in here and get it done,” Leiberman said, referring to the short, demure celebration after his goal. “I was happy but it wasn’t anything special.”
As in most matches this
season, South Whidbey tal-lied an astounding number of shots: 28. Most, however, were not of the quality co-head coaches Joel Gerlach and Emerson “Skip” Robbins are accustomed to seeing.
Several Falcon shots sailed high, even those that came from inside the 12-yard mark.
Sultan’s defense slightly shifted, said Falcon players,
from previous matches. The Turks defenders excelled at deflecting near-certain goals and clearing the ball from the box.
Zisette scored his first goal in the 32nd minute off a deflection. Afterward, he barely cracked a smile and later said it was an odd score for him.
“I just took a little lefty ball and it bounced so slowly
I thought, ‘He’s gotta get that,’” Zisette said. “There was just so much traffic he couldn’t see it.”
Early in the second half, South Whidbey seemed to secure the match. Meier crossed the ball to Zisette, who slammed it to the net in the 51st minute. The Falcon senior has been flying high in the past few matches, scoring 10 goals in six games.
“I’m feeling pretty good,
really confident the last cou-ple of games,” Zisette said. “When I shoot, I know it’s going to be, hopefully, a goal.
I used to be wishy-washy about shooting.”
Victory sent South Whidbey to the 1A District 1 cham-pionship
match against league rival King’s on Saturday, May 9. The Falcons swept the Knights this season, but both matches were close at
2-0 and 2-1. The game will begin at 11 a.m. at Sultan High School.
Saturday’s victor punches their ticket to the 1A state tournament. The loser has to win two matches to advance.
Despite the struggles against Sultan, Leiberman said the Falcons will be ready to take on the Knights.
“We know if we play the way we did today, it’s not going to be the same out-come Saturday,” Leiberman said. “If we come out with intensity, keep our heads, we can have the same outcome we’ve had the previous meet-ings.”

Sultan was led by Rennelle Addington with eight points, Emily Castillo’s six, Kerrin Reynolds’ four, and Aranza Gonzalez’s two.

Much of the month of May will see a wave of golfers at Useless Bay Golf & Country Club on South Whidbey dur-ing its military appreciation weeks.
For the past decade about 150 active duty military men and women annually tee off, completely free of charge. This year, the club’s golf com-mittee opted to offer free golf during non-peak times from May 4 to May 22.
Typically a members-only course, the pristine greens get non-member visitors from NAS Whidbey Island, Naval Station Everett and, new this year, Coast Guard members in the area.
“It’s just our way, mem-bers of the Useless Bay Golf Club, to show our apprecia-tion for their sacrifices,” said club committee member Tim See, himself a Vietnam War veteran.
“You can spot them: the short haircuts,” See laughed. “They’re out there hacking away.”
Military appreciation is the only time the course is ever played free of charge, said club Head Pro Brion Lubach, other than when South Whidbey High School hosts meets and tournaments.
On a sunny morning Thursday, a trio of men sta-tioned at NAS Whidbey took advantage of the free round with a morning tee time.
Driving, chipping and put-ting their way along the 11th hole, chiefs Eric Rice, James Lawhon and Ray Hass were visiting the private club for
the first time. “I don’t get to golf very
much, so this is a really great opportunity,” Rice said. “And it’s a really nice course.”
In addition to golf, the armed forces visitors are treated to a free lunch or dinner at the clubhouse’s res-taurant.
Useless Bay’s golf commit-tee advertises with the near-by military bases, but Lubach said the club is happy to host any active duty service men and women who make a tee time and show up with their
military identification. “If you’re active duty, bring
it on,” he said. The club’s golf committee
solicits the club members for donations to cover the greens fees and meal costs, just as they do for their student scholarship contributions.
The work and a little club member patience is worth it, See said.
“What’s really nice is when we see the military folks come out; they’re so appre-ciative,” he said.

Frederick S. OlsonApril 4, 1930-April 1, 2015.
Fred was well known to many in our community, a member of St. Hubert Catholic Church who also attended Langley Methodist Church with his wife, Carol, who survives him. He is survived also by his daughter, Jennifer Olson; his son, Matthew Olson; his grandson, Alexander Olson; three stepchildren, Stanley
Case, Marguerite Case and Charles Case; and five step-grandchildren.
On the beautiful sunny Thursday, April 9, at St. Hubert’s, his funeral Mass
took place and was followed by a reception at Langley Methodist Church and by internment with Navy military honors at Sunnyside Cemetery overlooking the prairie in Coupeville.
Fred wrote a biography, truly a life story, which he wished to share with his friends and family upon his death. We hope you will send an email to [email protected] to request this “biography.” Carol thanks you.
If you are considering a tribute for Fred, please include Enso House or a charity of your choice.

In keeping with their father’s vision, the Waterman sisters have offered $50,000 in matching funds to the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation.
The Waterman Medical Foundation has provided more than $800,000 in donations to the hospital since its establishment in 1980. Bud Waterman, the organization’s founder, died in 1981.
“He’s always had a very generous spirit,” his daughter Debra Waterman said. “Even though he’s been gone for 35 years, his legacy still affects the community.”
While the Waterman foundation has tra-ditionally disbursed around $20,000 twice a year to the hospital, they decided to up the anti for the fall contribution to give the hospital an opportunity to raise both money
and awareness.“They’re using it as a challenge grant,”
Waterman said. “It gives them something to go out and talk about and provide exposure to their foundation. We’re hoping it will provide more atten-tion for the hospital.”
An established Whidbey family, the Watermans opened the Waterman Mill Co., Inc. in 1950 on South Whidbey. The mill suc-cessfully operated in Langley under the Waterman name for 40 years.
“If you live in a community, you have to support it to the extent that you can,” Bud Waterman was quoted as saying in a foun-
dation news release. Since the announcement of the match-
ing challenge last week, the hospital’s foundation had already gathered $6,500 in individual donations by press time, according to Whidbey General Hospital Foundation Executive Director Helen Taylor.
“Individual donations make all the difference for great healthcare on Whidbey Island,” Taylor said.
“Quality healthcare close to home is a vital resource for our com-munity. We need to support and build our community hospital.”
All contributions to the Whidbey General Hospital Foundation are turned around
directly to enhance health care on the island, according to a foundation news release. Bud and Margaret Waterman’s daughters Debra Waterman and Linda Weiss are continuing their parents’ tradi-tion of support by making it possible to double the impact of each donation up to $50,000.
Donations can be made as a onetime gift or as a monthly pledge. The total amount will be matched by the Waterman Medical Foundation in support of Whidbey General Hospital.
“The family still supports having a local hospital and we value it highly in our com-munity,” Waterman said. “We’re excited about this challenge.”

The South Whidbey Record has hired JoAnn Baker as its new marketing consultant.
Quick to smile and already making connec-tions on the South End, Baker comes to The Record a veteran newspaper sales associate with a decade of experience at urban publi-cations such as the Seattle Times and Seattle Met mag-azine.
“We’re thrilled to have on our sales team a consultant with so much experience,” said Keven Graves, publish-er of Whidbey News Group, which includes The Record, Whidbey News-Times and Whidbey Examiner. “JoAnn is truly dedicated to help-ing her clients succeed and grow.”
Before getting into news-paper sales, Baker worked in the customer service and food and beverage indus-tries, largely in manage-
ment roles.Baker, who describes
herself as a true believer in newspaper advertising, said South Whidbey is home to some great busi-nesses, such as Tom and Janice Zellars’ Thrive Vegan Cafe in Freeland. They’re all about health, but people wouldn’t know it unless they go inside. Baker said she’s eager to roll up her sleeves and help businesses like theirs succeed with tai-lored and effective advertis-ing strategies.
“Instead of just buying an ad, we’ll do some marketing to tell their story,” Baker said.
Baker is currently a Coupeville resident, has one son who she says is her pride and joy — he’s a Kirkland resident who works in aerospace sales. This is her first time liv-ing on Whidbey, and she’s fallen in love with island life.
“I just love it here,” she said.

For Tigran Arakelyan, music was the best medicine.
As a child growing up in Armenia, Arakelyan suffered a severe bout of bronchitis which rendered him unable to sleep or breathe adequate-ly. After trips to specialists in Ukraine and Russia, Arakelyan’s parents brought him back to Armenia, where a doctor suggested strength-ening the lungs through use of a musical instrument such as a trumpet or flute.
It was then that Arakelyan’s healing process, and his future career as a flutist, began.
“It’s weird and not very medical but it somehow worked,” Arakelyan said. “Not to say that the other stuff I did in different coun-tries for my health didn’t, but music was a part of it.”
Prior to its medicinal use, music had already been an integral part of Arakelyan’s life. His father played cello while his mother played a kanon, a traditional Armenian stringed instru-ment.
Upon immigrating to the United States at age 11, Arakelyan continued with his craft and played as a part of the Pasadena Community Orchestra at age 15.
Today, he is in his second year as musical director of Whidbey Island Community Orchestra.
The orchestra was estab-lished in 2007 and is com-posed of members ranging in ages as they do in skill level. Some are beginners while others have decades of expe-rience. The youngest mem-bers are still in high school while several of their elders are retirees. But regardless of age or background, all of the musicians share a com-
mon love of music. Arakelyan said that he
appreciates the fact that, though most orchestra members have occupations unrelated to music, they consistently dedicate time to their passion.
Music is “all I do,” Arakelyan said, adding that he wishes, at times, that he had an additional, unrelated craft as the orchestra mem-bers do.
Conducting a community orchestra with such an array of skill sets, he said, is both challenging and enjoyable.
Though some mem-bers have come and gone, Arakelyan has observed several of his musicians progress and bond over the past two years.
He has also ensured that
the orchestra plays modern selections in addition to clas-sic pieces.
Last year, the orchestra held the Young Composer Competition. The winner, Jon Brenner, had his piece per-formed by the musicians.
Though Arakelyan noted the importance of continuing to play the works of revered composers such as Strauss, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Johannes Brahms and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the incorporation of new pieces is as beneficial for musicians as it is for budding composers.
Musicians will get the opportunity to play some-thing fresh, divergent from the standard classical canon.
He also ensures commu-nity orchestra members have
the chance to play alongside professionals on occasion. Recently, the orchestra fea-tured Langley resident Gloria
Ferry-Brennan as a solo violinist.
In addition to the Whidbey Island Community Orchestra, Arakelyan is musical director for the Federal Way Youth Orchestra and the University of Washington Campus Philharmonia. He is also the assistant conductor of the Whatcom Symphony Orchestra. He received the Armenian General Benevolent Union Performing Arts Fellowship for two consecutive years and is a doctoral stu-dent at the University of Washington.
“Musicians willing to play in public are a sector of the population, and conduc-tors are a very thin slice of those,” wrote Jim Lux,
president of the board of directors of Whidbey Island Community Orchestra, in an email to The Record. “And of all the people at University of Washington, Tigran is one of very few functioning at the conductorial level he is.”
The Whidbey Island Community Orchestra will perform at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 10 at Trinity Lutheran Church and at 7 p.m. Friday, May 15 at Coupeville High School Performing Arts Center.
The performances will include works by Strauss, Sibelius, Queen and The Beatles as well as music from the television series “Downton Abbey.” Guest cellist James Hinkley will perform a solo piece.
Admission is free.

requested regarding mem-
ber nurses included in the hospital’s “internal investi-gation of allegations against Chief Nursing Officer, Linda Gipson, stemming from her interactions with a patient.”
Gipson was acquitted last month of assaulting a mental-ly ill patient last May. Several nurses who were in the room at the time testified against Gipson.
The WSNA claims that it attempted to obtain the investigation-related docu-ments since November, but the hospital, “to date, has not produced the documents.”
A Thursday meeting between the Whidbey News Group publisher and edito-rial staff with the hospital’s new CEO, Geri Forbes, was
canceled via email early Thursday. Another meeting date had not been scheduled at press time, though the hospital staff expressed their intention to schedule another meeting date in May.
Patricia Duff, the hospi-tal’s interim public relations liaison, emailed a statement to the newspaper Thursday about the WSNA complaint.
“The hospital has a well-established history of honor-ing our nurses and we strive to maintain positive and mutually respectful relation-ships with all members of our staff,” the email stated. “It is not uncommon for these sorts of complaints to be lodged during contract negotiations in any industry
and the appropriate individu-als will address allegations in a timely and thoughtful manner.”
The hospital’s chief qual-ity officer, Teresa Fulton, who gave testimony during Gipson’s trial that conflicted with testimony given by the hospital’s former CEO, Tom Tomasino, has since resigned.
The nurses’ complaint also states that Whidbey General Hospital administrators failed to hand over documents con-cerning the “termination of (nurse) Terrie Owens.”
The WSNA alleges that it requested in October that the hospital “explain the evi-dence that supported the termination of union mem-ber Terrie Owens.” The com-plaint claims that the hos-pital responded that it “had relied on Ms. Owens’ ‘Patient Charts’ and two ‘Patient Safety Net Reports.’ ”
The hospital apparently provided some documents in November, but the WSNA claims that those were illeg-ible and “did not include a significant portion of the medical records.”
In an email last week, how-ever, Duff said that Owens “is currently an employee of the hospital.”
The nurses association is asking PERC to find that “the hospital violated its duty to bargain in good faith” and require the hospital to “cease and desist from violating” the collective bargaining laws.
WSNA’s negotiations with the hospital are scheduled to resume May 4-5, according to the association’s website.
“We need smaller class sizes. We need to stop toxic testing. We need decent health care,” said Val Brown, spokesperson for the South Whidbey Education Association, to the protesters.
Speakers touched on
subjects such as large class sizes, lack of cost of living adjustments for teachers, low wages, lack of funds for edu-cational materials, the prob-lem with standardized testing and the hours of unpaid work educators put in yearly.
Reganne Brown, a junior at South Whidbey High School and the school board’s stu-dent representative, gave a
speech illustrating a student’s perspective on issues like the controversial Common Core State Standards test and large class sizes.
Many educators nation-wide have expressed opin-ions that the test sets unrea-sonable expectations for students, essentially setting them up for failure.
“This test was the most ridiculous test I’ve ever taken in my life,” Brown said of Common Core.
Although math isn’t her strong suit, Brown said, she consistently manages to earn “A”s and “B”s in class.
The Common Core test, however, threw Brown and fellow students off their usu-ally academically adept game with material such as pre-calculus, a subject not taught in standard junior-level math curriculum.
It wasn’t “common core” at all, Brown said.
She added that the test took up three days of classes as well as several hours of study time.
Brown emphasized that South Whidbey School
District teachers have had a positive impact, preparing
her for post-graduate life “emotionally, socially and scholastically.”
“This program will turn our teachers into robots,” she concluded.
Rachel Kizer, a fourth-grade teacher at South Whidbey Elementary, spoke of the lack of appreciation and understanding legisla-tors have for educators’ work.
“The Legislature doesn’t know there is no test in the world that can possibly mea-sure your lifetimes of learn-ing and what you all bring to the classroom every day,” Kizer said to the crowd.
“We are here to stand up for what’s good about edu-cation, to stand up for the kids we cherish like our own and we are here today to stand up for you,” Kizer said. “You, the educators who are a most unique and precious resource in a child’s educa-tion. Not a textbook, not a classroom, not a computer, but you.”

SometimeS a cat tinkling in the wrong place isn’t too big of a deal. But a cat that frequently pees somewhere it shouldn’t can threaten an entire household’s sense of domestic tranquility. Although it may not feel like it, your cat is actually on your side in this: cats are fastidious creatures who really don’t want to urinate outside their boxes.
If you’re often finding pee where it doesn’t, stop by and tell us about your cat. We can help you identify the cause and understand the science, and help you find an effective, natural solution.*

100th Maxwelton Fourth of July parade
This year marks the 100th Maxwelton Fourth of July parade, and organizers are extending a special invitation for float or walking entries from other South Whidbey clubs, associations, chambers of commerce and other community rep-resentatives.
The parade is 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 4 at Maxwelton Beach in Clinton.
The Independence Day celebration has always been an event for the South Whidbey community, hosted by mem-bers and volunteers of the Maxwelton Community Club, according to a news release.
“For this special year, we want to encourage other communities to help us celebrate this island classic,” said Bob Brooks, parade organizer-in-chief.
All past parade grand marshals are invited to sit in the VIP area, share their parade experiences, and be recognized for their neighborhood contributions.
Creative musical and walking entries, and children of any age on bikes are wel-come. For safety reasons, non-vintage vehicles are limited to 5,000 pounds gross vehicle weight (Explorer/Tahoe size); inquire about unusual entries and vehicles. There is a limit of one entry per political candidate or party.
Entry is free and pre-registration is not required, but organizers would like to know about any large entries.
Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. at the corner of Maxwelton and Swede Hill Roads. The short but lively parade ends at the turn-in to the Dave Mackie Park boat ramp.
Volunteer help is welcome and need-ed. Call the Community Club at 360-579-2030 or email [email protected] for details.

result in falling trees and limbs,” the news release said.
The closure was sup-ported by Save the Trees, a non-profit organization that has worked on conserva-tion campaigns at the parks since 1977. Group officials called the move a “neces-sary step.”
“The campground was opened in the early 1960s amid the mature and old-growth trees, which gave campers a wonder-ful wooded and secluded experience,” said Sue Ellen White, vice president of Save the Trees. “But the interaction of these old trees with human activity over the past half-century may not have been the best for the forest and some of the big trees are failing. It’s no longer a safe situation
for campers.” The closure will likely
have an economic effect on South Whidbey but it may also open opportuni-ties for education and day-use activities at the park, according to organization leaders. Calyx School is currently at the park and offers an outdoor learning curriculum for elementary students.
Attempts to reach state parks officials for additional comment were unsuccessful Friday before press time.
Campers with reserva-tions for the 2015 season are urged to telephone the state parks camp-ing reservation center at 1-888-CAMPOUT (1-888-226-7688) for assistance in transferring reservations to a campsite in another park or to receive a full refund for cancellation.
The park remains open for day use. Director Hoch said State Parks will begin a site-planning process late this summer or early fall to determine the future of the campground portion of the park, according to the news release.
council appointment: Sharon Emerson. She has been a persistent presence at city council meetings and other big-issue gatherings at City Hall, but may be best known for her consistent criticism of the funicular between Wharf Street and Cascade Avenue.
In an email to The Record, she said she was still unde-cided if she would run for either city council or mayor
in Langley. Black and Councilman
Bruce Allen both said they will seek re-election this fall.
Gill sought elected office in Langley prior to winning the city council position unopposed in the November 2013 election. He said via email that he plans on running for mayor.
One of the city council positions will be up for chal-lengers. Jim Sundberg, who has served since 2012, will not seek re-election. Retired from his career, Sundberg said stepping away from public office meant he’d finally be able to enjoy all of those free-time benefits while allowing someone else to take the reins.
“The city’s in good shape and there’s lots of talent in the city, so there’s room for continuing the advanc-es we’ve made to date,” Sundberg said.
“It’s been an excellent council to work with,” he added.
Three of the four South Whidbey School District director positions up for election will have the incum-bent run. Linda Racicot and
Damian Greene, both fin-ishing out their first terms as school board directors, said they are seeking re-election this November. J u l i e H a d d e n , who was a p p o i n t e d to the post vacated by Fred O’Neal in 2014, will seek elec-tion to fill out his term. Only Steve Scoles, the most tenured school board director, will step away from the district.
“I’ve been there for 13 out of the last 20 years, so it’s time to move on and let the new folks come along. I’m happy to wrap up,” he said.
The retired general con-tractor spends some of each year out of state, which is a challenge to then attend the twice-a-month board meetings. He said he’s proud that the board opted to keep Langley Middle School open four years ago.
“I feel really good about the school district, the superintendent and the
direction we’re on, and that we did not close the middle school,” Scoles said. “That was an issue.”
South Whidbey Fire/EMS will lose one of its longest-serving commis-sioners. Mike Helland announced Thursday he would not apply for elec-tion. Spending time with family after 18 years — three terms — as a fire protection district commis-sioner became more impor-tant this time around.
“It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve the South Whidbey community,” Helland said. “I never went in there with the interest of becoming a career politi-cian. I feel I’ve made a con-tribution to the evolution of SW Fire. It needs some new blood. It doesn’t need sav-ing or anything like that.”
Who may replace him
was a mystery to Helland, though he said he has told several people they should consider if they are will-
ing to serve on the fire board.
“There’s no greater calling than to serve your neigh-bor in their time of need,” he
said. Both Port of South
Whidbey commissioners up for election are seeking to fulfill shortened terms. Ed Halloran was appointed to fill-in for Chris Jerome, who left South Whidbey when he took a job in North Carolina in early 2014. Jack Ng was appointed in the position abandoned by Dennis Gregoire in February this year.
Freeland Water and Sewer District Commissioner Eric Hansen said he’ll seek voter approval for another six-year term. He has served the water and sewer district the past eight years, plus a two-year stint prior to that.
Holmes Harbor Sewer District, which governs sew-
age system at the Holmes Harbor Golf Course, will have one new commission-er. Longtime commissioner Stan Walker said that he’s ready to step down after 14 years on the board.
“It’s time for other people to take care of that,” Walker said.
Also on the Holmes Harbor board, Bob Miller said he plans to run again after recently being re-elected to the Washington Association of Sewer and Water Districts board of commissioners for another three years.
“I’m staying involved,” he said.
At least one of the two parks commissioners’ posi-tions up for a vote this fall will see someone new next year. Joel Gerlach, who was elected in 2012, said he did was not running again, cit-ing his business as a con-tractor for pulling him away from South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District board duties. Don Wood, whose position is also up for election, did not return requests for comment by press time Friday.
