Suspected wife killer’s arraignment fails again By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
The Greenbank man and pizza joint owner accused of killing his wife and hiding her body in a tarp is having trouble retaining an attorney. Robert “Al” Baker, 62, appeared in court Monday, but left without being arraigned. It was the third time his arraignment has been postponed. He’s facing first-degree murder in the death of his wife, 53-year-old Kathie Baker. Attorney Tom Pacher, who holds the county’s public defense contract, stood beside him in court and explained that Baker’s “circumstances have changed.” The judge put off the hearing for a week to give Baker the chance to see if he qualifies for public defense, which is for indigent defendants. Baker was arrested after his wife’s body was discovered in a ravine behind his house June 9. Baker first tried to retain attorney Craig Platt, who has a private practice in Oak Harbor. Baker’s assets became tied up in court. One of Kathie Baker’s relatives, Jami Hill of Oregon, became the personal representative of her estate. Her attorney, Charles Arndt of Coupeville, filed a petition in Island County Superior Court July 5 for an order protecting
the Bakers’ joint assets. Judge Vickie Churchill signed the order July 30. The motion cites the state’s “slayer statute” as it “applies to deprive Robert Baker of any benefit of decedent’s death.” It lists the joint assets as her life insurance policy, retirement account, their joint checking and savings accounts, their pizza business in Freeland and their home on Silver Cloud Lane in Greenbank. Platt entered his notice of withdrawal Aug. 10. A detective’s report on the case indicates that the motive for the murder may have been another woman. A woman from Alaska was staying with Al Baker at his Greenbank home while Kathie’s tarp-wrapped body was in a ravine at the back of the house, court documents state. Kathie was last seen alive June 2. Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office started investigating her disappearance after Kathie’s boss at Raytheon Corporation in Denver reported that he couldn’t contact her. After finding bloody drag marks in the house and getting contradictory stories from Al Baker about his wife’s whereabouts, detectives See Arraignment, A6

Arraignment for Robert “Al” Baker, the alleged killer of his wife Kathie Baker, was postponed Monday.
Like Hamlet did Claudius, the Island Shakespeare Festival killed a plan to use the field at Langley Middle School. At the behest of the city of Langley, the festival’s organizers met with the South Whidbey School Board. During the school board meeting Aug. 8, the festival group proposed to use the field near the disused track. Only a few blocks and a short walk from Langley’s commercial core of restaurants, inns and boutiques, the flat, grassy area — though a bit worn — seemed an alluring prospect for both parties. However, the festival’s founder and artistic director said she plans to keep it at the StoryHouse Theater at the Chinook lands in Clinton. “We’re not interested in leaving our current location. We’ve been extremely happy at the Chinook lands,” Woods said. “There’s a certain amount of magic of going into the woods and seeing a Shakespeare festival.” The original plan had a target date for next August. That meant the school district and festival group agreeing to rent or lease terms, landscaping the field and building stage and seating platforms. “It was a pretty ambitious timeline anyway, from the process of getting approval of the board to having plans and acceptance of the community,” said Board Chairman Steve Scoles. “To do it in one year and create a permanent structure, it would be hard to do it on such a short timeline.” The news surprised Board Member Linda Racicot on Monday afternoon. She planned to walk with school district officials, an architect and the festival’s representatives to review the field in the near future. Racicot, a former middle school teacher, envisioned a joint-use space. The stage could have been used for professional productions during the festival and also give students at the middle school, which does not have a drama program, a chance to engage in stage work and take in the Bard’s tales.

notable Community shows depths of generosity on Day of Caring
Whidbey General seeks donations
United Way of Island County held its second annual Day of Caring on Aug. 4. Day of Caring has become a United Way tradition in many communities throughout America. It is a day when community volunteers partner with local agencies for a few hours and perform acts of care for folks within the community needing a little assistance and to generally “spruce up” the Island County community, according to a United Way of Island County press release. United Way partnered with the Interfaith Coalition of Whidbey Island on Saturday, Aug. 4, which brought more than 60 volunteers from many different faith communities, including the Christian Reformed Church, City of Refuge Christian Church, First Reformed Church, Grace by the Sea, Grace Community, Living Faith Christian Center, Living Word and Family Bible Church. North Whidbey Lions Club participated in its annual Stuff the Bus Project, which collects donations of school supplies for students. Volunteers’ ages ranged from 2 to 72. Walmart, Ace Hardware and Home Depot donated materials for various projects. Toiletry bags were put together for the homeless, weeds were pulled at CADA’s shelter, paint and stain was applied at Toddler Learning Center and South Whidbey Children’s Center, bark was distributed at City of Oak Harbor parks, school supplies were gathered at Walmart for Stuff the Bus to benefit Opportunity Council and more. United Way’s mission is to “mobilize community resources to measurably improve people’s lives,” according to a press release. By hosting this Day of Caring, the community has an opportunity to band together and “Live United” by serving fellow community members. “With these tough economic times, we can all feel good about reaching out and touching the lives of our neighbors while making our community a better place to work and live,” said Cathy Niiro, executive director for United Way, in the press release.
During August, Whidbey General Hospital holds a food drive to benefit the Gifts from the Heart Food Bank in Coupeville. It is also the month the Hospital’s Employee Council holds the annual Employee Council Picnic and Craft Fair. Last week, those two events merged into a funand food-filled event that supported employees and the food bank alike, said Trish Rose, Whidbey General public relations. During the picnic, the Employee Council rented a “Money Cyclone” with funds provided by hospital employees. They sold tickets for an opportunity to stand in the cyclone and grab as much swirling money as they could in 30 seconds. Between the profits from the ticket sales and the generous donations of employees, this event alone raised $323 for the food bank. The hospital will continue to collect food and cash donations throughout the month of August. Community members may drop off donations in pink bins at the hospital or at the hospital cafeteria. Whidbey General is located at 101 N. Main St. in Coupeville. For more information, call 321-5151. Gifts from the Heart Food Bank has served Central Whidbey Island for 10 years. They distribute food on the second and fourth Wednesdays every month. For more information about the food bank, visit www.giftsfromtheheart foodbank.com.

Ferry reservation effort boosted Paperwork, vehicle length slow ticketing By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
The standby wait at Coupeville reached two hours one Friday earlier this month while other drivers with the foresight to make a reservation for the ferry that crosses Admiralty Inlet scooted onto the boat. To lessen such waits in the future, ferry officials are hoping more people will make a reservation. To encourage that, plans are in the works to increase the reservation space on ferries serving the Port Townsend to Coupeville ferry route. The ferry system currently devotes half of the vehicle on the 64-car ferries for vehicles that make reservations. Brian Churchwell, deputy reservation program manager for Washington State Ferries, said once the busy summer season wraps up, the ferry system will examine increasing the amount of space to somewhere between 70 percent and 80 percent. The most recent incarnation of the reservation system was implemented in June on the Port Townsend to Coupeville ferry route and the Anacortes to Sidney, B.C., ferry routes.

The Port Townsend to Coupeville (formerly Keystone) route had a reservation system for several years when a smaller 50-car ferry served on the route. The big difference now is motorists have to make a deposit in order to make a reservation. The deposit, which is equal to a senior/disabled fare of a driver’s vehicle, improves the rate at which people who make a reservation actually use it. Churchwell said that with the deposit requirement, 93 percent of the people who make a reservation show up to use it. Last year, the Port Townsend to Coupeville ferry route had a 35 to 40 percent noshow ratio. He added that improvement has allowed staff to better accommodate people who make a reservation. Some people last year would make multiple reservations throughout the day. Susan Harris-Huether, customer service manager for Washington State Ferries, said she knew of several people who would make four-to-five reservations throughout a day
they planned to ride the ferry because they weren’t sure when they would actually show up. The new reservation system, which has tallied 55,000 reservations since going live, has hit some snags since being implemented. People are enduring an extended wait time at the ticket booth, particularly at the Coupeville side of the route. Harris-Huether said that people often don’t have their paper work ready, most importantly a printout containing the bar code reservation. “We’re looking at making transaction times faster in Coupeville,” Churchwell said. In addition, she said people aren’t using the correct vehicle length when making a reservation, especially when it comes to the cheapest, under 14 feet in length fare. Churchwell pointed out that only 5 percent of the cars meet that requirement despite what owners might guess. Harris-Huether said that Toyota Prius owners are the biggest violators. When someone comes to
the ticket booth with a larger vehicle than specified on the reservations, then the ticket agent has to measure the vehicle and make adjustments accordingly. Churchwell also said adjustments will be made in response to businesses who have fleets of vehicles that use the reservation system. The new reservation system is the first of a threephase effort to expand it throughout the system. Ferry officials want the system to better control volumes and encourage use during slow times. The next phase includes expanding the reservation system throughout the San Juan Islands and allowing commercial vehicle reservations throughout the ferry system. Churchwell said informative meetings should take place during the fall and the next part of the reservation expansion should begin in 2014. So far, Clinton to Mukilteo reservations have been exempted due to local opposition, although commercial rigs may be allowed to reserve a space.

Council tries to destroy fun To the editor: The parking restrictions on Second Street in Langley are utterly ridiculous. Mo’s Tavern is one of the few entertainment establishments left in Langley. Is the city council set on destroying another place to have fun in Langley? It certainly seems so. And why is it that one-or-two peevish residents can put their nit-picky concerns ahead of the hundreds of people who want to visit Mo’s for simple enjoyment? Maureen Cooke has already had to battle just to have music played. This is a business establishment that has existed in one form or another for years. These few homeowners should have considered that before buying their properties. Hundreds of people enjoy the music. Two or three don’t. Perhaps the city council could buy them earplugs.

HUB needs help for kids To the editor: On behalf of The HUB Steering Committee, I wish to applaud Clyde and Marcia Monma for their July 28 letter to the Record. With the current economic climate it’s more urgent than ever that we each direct charitable giving locally, and in particular, to not-for-profits whose purpose is serving our youths. There are many excellent organizations aligned with this purpose and I encourage you to give now to the mission you feel most attracted to. Whether you make a gift of cash, or share your time, creativity, and experience by volunteering, you’ll be making an important contribution to the lives and futures of our youths. It was just this kind of community support that revitalized The HUB after closing late in 2011. Serving nearly 7,000 middle and high school aged youths over the past 23 years, The HUB provides a safe, supportive, and supervised setting with a hot meal as a drop-in after school facility. Under the guidance of volunteers and with the financial support of Good Cheer, local organizations and businesses, and many individual contributors, it re-opened last January. While The HUB strives to be open each school day, it currently only has funding for roughly 30 percent coverage in the coming school year. We also need to line up volunteers to cook meals and provide groceries. If you are unfamiliar with us there’s a great article at: www.southwhidbeyrecord.com/ news/126518943.html. If you are a past supporter of the South
Whidbey Youth Connection and The HUB, in the next couple of weeks you will receive an appeal letter asking you to contribute to The HUB. A long time benefactor, Nancy Nordhoff, has generously offered a matching grant as an incentive for you to contribute to The HUB. This gift will double community contributions up to $5,000! If you don’t receive a letter, I encourage you to contribute to The HUB by sending your tax deductible gift to: The HUB, P.O. Box 374, Langley, WA 98260. Hank Hall executive director The HUB
Price Johnson proves leadership To the editor: During my 20 years as a Whidbey Island resident, I have become increasingly concerned about preserving the quality of life in Island County while it moves ahead with responsible growth management. This year’s election for Island County commissioner is not about party affiliation but about selecting the best candidate to give Island County thoughtful and experienced leadership in these difficult times. I want to be sure the candidate I choose understands Island County, its people and our needs. When this happens we will be well represented.

Helen Price Johnson has a proven track record for re-election that reflects raising a family of four children on Whidbey, operating a family-owned business and serving in many community leadership positions including the board of directors for the South Whidbey School District. As a county commissioner, she brings practical solutions to complex problems. For example, her work led to strengthening county emergency management services, restoring programs to ensure safe and plentiful drinking water, reducing county spending by restructuring departments, streamlining programs to benefit veterans and senior services and reorganizing ferry advisory committees to advocate increased state support for our marine highways. Helen Price Johnson brings a long standing commitment to support the quality of life for all of us in Island County. She listens, and we will be faithfully represented by re-electing her as county commissioner. Gene White Clinton

Independence and the Constitution, there is nothing in either writings that support or even infer that corporations have equal human rights as those specifically directed to humans (“Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”). At the time these documents were prepared there were giant corporations in and near the colonies that received royal charters from the kings and queens of various European countries providing specific freedoms to them above and beyond the freedoms given to the people. The Hudson Bay Group is an example. The Founding Fathers were adamant that these royal charter organizations be excluded from the natural rights of the people. In other words, regarding human rights and freedom, there was to be nothing and no one limiting those human right freedoms. Be assured that corporations and all kinds of “Power People,” those driven to use their powers completely independent of all, will of course use the “human rights” concept to achieve their goals.

Perego Man stumps the experts By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Is it 20 years old or a thousand? Was it carved by Native Americans or white settlers? Perhaps it was made more recently by a local artisan? These are all good questions but, so far, the origins and history of a stone face found submerged in Perego’s Lagoon on the west side of Whidbey Island 15 years ago has local, state and tribal experts all scratching their heads. In fact, the only positive conclusion reached so far about the curious piece is what to name it. “We call him Perego Man,” said a smiling Rick Castellano, executive director of the Island County Historical Society in Coupeville. The mysterious face, which was carved into what appears to be one of the head-sized granite boulders that litter Whidbey beaches, was found in 1997 by a family visiting from Seattle. The boy, whom Castellano could only identify as Anand, was wading through the lagoon at the foot of Ebey’s Bluff when he stepped on something sharp. Looking down, he discovered the barnacle covered face. “It was looking back at him,” Castellano said. As the story goes, the family took the object home but brought it back soon after experiencing a string of bad luck. According to Castellano, the boy’s mother was intent on tossing it back in the lagoon but was persuaded otherwise by a friend, former Coupeville resident John Pawley. He remained in stewardship of the face for many years but Pawley decided to donate the piece to the museum this past

Rick Castellano, executive director of the Island County Historical Society in Coupeville, looks at Perego Man. The stone carving was found in Perego’s Lagoon 15 years ago and its origins remain unknown. June before moving to Oregon. Castellano said he’s always happy to increase the historical society’s collection but this piece has been particularly challenging to identify. “We can usually figure out where something came from … but this one is a mystery,” Castellano said. “It’s a very odd, weird and unusual piece,” he said. Pictures were sent to experts at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Washington in the hopes of shedding some light on the carving but they also had few answers, according to Castellano. While they
thought the piece was interesting, they could not classify or identify it with any particular culture or time period, he said. Theresa Trebon, tribal archivist for the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, has also examined the piece but doesn’t believe it’s from any Northwest tribes or is Native American at all. She did some work for Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve years ago and actually examined the same carving in 1998 for Pawley. She has examined thousands of other Whidbey artifacts as well and nothing looked even remotely like it, she said.
Arraignment CONTINUED FROM A1

“There is a real distinctive Native American signature and I just don’t see it on this,” she said. Trebon does have a theory, however. She said she recently visited Hawaii and thinks the face better represents the stonecarving styles of Polynesians. The theory is not as far fetched as it sounds. Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, sometimes referred to in history as “Kanakas,” were often employed on merchant and whaling ships in the 1800s. They had such a presence in the Northwest that their heritage is still evident today, hence the cities of Kalama and Friday Harbor, both of which are named after Native Hawaiian men. Given that Port Townsend was an international port, it’s entirely possible the stone was carved by a long ago sailor and then tossed or lost in the lagoon. Castellano said the jury is still out and hopes additional research will yield more answers about the carving’s mysterious past. However, he said there is a small part of him that hopes to never find out just where it came from. “It’s one of those things; do I really want to have the answer?” he said. “It would take all the romance out of it.”

The owner of the building has filed a claim against Kathie Baker’s estate for alleged damages and missing equipment. The Bakers were married in 2007 and aren’t believed to have any children. They both worked as research scientists in Antarctica.

Festival CONTINUED FROM A1
“I was quite interested in it, actually. And I felt with a walkabout we could figure out how to use it and keep the field,” Racicot said. “There’s so much property there, I really felt we could be clever about it and find a way to use it in both directions (the school and the festival).” The meeting and news of the festival’s loss of interest in the field were so recent, money had yet to be discussed between the two parties. The school district publishes rental rates for its facilities. Field use at Langley Middle School would cost $11 of $22 per hour, depending on the festival’s classification, as well as $22 per hour for the parking lots. The field does not have lights, however. One of the concerns for Woods was the type of stage and seating. The school district wanted removable platforms, and the festival group wanted a permanent fixture. “It won’t work with a temporary structure,” she said. “It has to be more than a field.” As can be expected from a first meeting between two organizations, there were discrepancies in the plan. An architect’s sketch of the field had landscaping, lots of it, with bountiful hedges. That would not have worked, Racicot said, because students need the field for recreation. “We can’t kill one entire field,” she said. “We were willing to … continue talking about it.” Woods, despite shutting down the field plan for use by next August, kept the possibility open for another year. In the meantime, she said other venues and locations — some in Langley, some not — were courting the festival. “The happy part of this is that there are more than one location that wants us,” Woods said. The festival has steadily expanded its audience at the current venue’s amphitheater. A few thousand people attend the festival annually, and this year has been right on pace with more than 800 visitors to watch the free shows the past two weekends. “We didn’t expect this kind of growth or popularity,” Woods said. Members of the school board said they were open to reviewing the plans again, if the festival organizers were interested. “The board and school district are open to exploring ideas with them,” Scoles said. Langley city officials said they will continue to explore the possibility of relocating the festival closer to the city’s core and hope to reopen talks with Shakespeare Festival folks. “We’ll go back to the festival,” said Rene Neff, a city councilwoman who has been involved in the discussion. “We need to all sit at the table.”

Whidbey Adventure Swim turns another lap for second year BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
Anyone looking for a brisk, a very brisk, swim and race in September can end the search. The Whidbey Adventure Swim will return for its second run Saturday, Sept. 8 in the open saltwater of Saratoga Passage. Just off the shore from Seawall Park in Langley, a few dozen bold souls will slip into the chilly, 58-degree water for either the 1.2- or 2.4-mile race. “There are very few open water swims in conditions like this in the sound,” said Jeff Jacobson, one of the registered swimmers. “It could get windy and choppy. It changes, it’s always different. A pool is always the same. You get out of it and into the water, the conditions are always changing.” The cold temperatures and unpredictable nature of open water limit who can and will compete in the Adventure Swim. Race organizers state on the registration website and forms: “These swims are not for the inexperienced.” Risks like hypothermia or drowning inherent to

briefly Whidbey man wins Race the Reserve Whidbey Island reigned at the Race the Reserve half marathon this weekend. James Stellar, a 35-year-old Coupeville man, claimed firstplace in 1:24:07.5. He was followed by a string of island residents from Oak Harbor to Clinton. Some South Whidbey runners finished well in the 100-person race at Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve in Coupeville. Donald Heggenes of Freeland took 18th place, Chris DeForest (Clinton) was close behind for 19th, Brenda DeForest (Clinton) took 41st and Terry deJager placed 61st. The race also had 10-kilometer and 5-kilometer races. South Whidbey High School senior cross country and track and field runner Lillianna Stelling, of Langley, finished third in the 10K in 47:37. Anna Leski, a 13-year-old Freeland

Langley resident Grethcen Bodine placed 27th, Nisa Heggenes, of Freeland, placed 30th. Roy Gordon, of Langley, finished 45. In the 5K, 14-year-old Daniel Thornley placed 23rd in 29:04.1. Racers from Clinton include Reta Worden, Adelina Baker and Kellie Baker, Daniel and Jacob Winn, Katie Martin and Christi Messner. Freeland resident Bob Duffy finished in 70th place. A total of 260 people competed in the races, which fund Coupeville High School’s graduation celebration.
British invade Langley soccer fields On the heels of the London Olympic Games, the British Soccer Camp has landed on South Whidbey. As a part of the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District programming, the soccer camp draws about 100 players who take the fields at the Sports Complex this week. The Challenger program flies British coaches across the United States to work with
the South Whidbey Fire/ EMS water rescue crew will scan the area. On land, an aid squad from Whidbey General EMS will be ready to assist, just in case. “This is a very challenging course with water temperature expected to be 60 degrees or less,” Fankhauser said. “And
although this event was planned around slack tide, swimmers can expect current flow during the race.” Swimmers begin on the beach at Seawall Park. They wade out into the cool, still morning water. When the horn sounds, the once glassy surface becomes a mess of splashing and thrashing that ripples along in a triangle. Some of the swimmers enjoy wild waves, even if they are not the preferred racing conditions. “Rollers can be a lot of fun,” Jacobsen said. Chilly water drew Jacobsen for therapeutic reasons. He said it alleviates some pain in his joints, much like an ice bath for athletes. Jacobsen, 68, has had lots of practice in cold, open water since his days as a teenager in Lake Michigan. “Because I’m dealing with arthritic problems, swimming in cold water is great for those problems,” he said. Last year, the course records were set at 27:58 in the 1.2 mile by Steve Polucha, and 55:10 in the 2.4-mile race by Rick Ferrero. Sheila McCue set the women’s record for the 2.4 mile in 1:16:24. Unlike last year, there is
no limit to the number of possible swimmers. As of Aug. 13, only eight people were registered, which organizers said was similar to last year’s amount before a flood of entries arrived in the two weeks before the swim. Fankhauser said he expected at least 40 swimmers, which would be an increase of 14 from the inaugural Whidbey Adventure Swim last year. “There seems to be a flurry of people at the last minute and we are accepting day-of-race registration,” Fankhauser said. Registration costs $40 and is due Sept. 3. Late and dayof entries cost $50. In addition, swimmers are required to be a United States Master Swimming member or purchase a one-day membership for $20. All swimmers get a race T-shirt and are entered into a raffle with prizes from Whidbey area businesses. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., and there is a mandatory meeting before the race at 9:30. To register, go online to http://ow.swhidbey.org/ whidbey-adventure-swim/ registration. For more information, email Fankhauser at info@swhidbey.org.

Har vey Alexander Wainio, “Sandy” 65, born in Everett Wash. November 26, 1946, passed away in Post Falls, Idaho, July 6, 2012, from complications following surgery. Sandy grew up in Greenbank Wash. on the family farm his Finnish grandparents immigrated to in 1918. He was the beloved only child of Arve Alexander Wainio and Helmi Olkonen Wainio. His childhood included many days fishing with his dad at Lagoon Point, with a photo of him holding a 33# King salmon caught in 1959. Sandy graduated from Coupeville HS in 1965, where he excelled in basketball and baseball. After high school Sandy joined the Air Force. He left the military as the sole surviving son, coming back to Greenbank to care for his mother, after his father died of a heart attack in 1966. His mother Helmi passed away in 1972. Growing up Sandy was very close to his Aunt Ellen’s kids in Langley, cousins Gayle, Carol, Ron and Sharon Cattron. They shared summers, spending weeks together and many family occasions. Sandy was more of a brother to the Cattron kids, and he and Ron shared that special bond that only two boys can share. They got into mischief but they weren’t always caught. Sandy introduced cousin Sharon to one of his best friends Ray Edwards. It worked well for Sandy as he and his “cousin in law” Ray spent decades together hunting elk, deer, birds, golf balls, and bowling championships. Sandy’s love of baseball continued while attending Everett Community College where he played baseball, and later playing softball

SMALL ADS WORK! (This one got your attention, didn’t it? Call 877-316-7276 to place your ad)
A group of Canada geese recently caused the closure of a popular swimming hole on North Whidbey Island. Island County Public Health announced earlier this month that the western part of Cranberry Lake, located on the Whidbey Island side of Deception Pass State Park, is closed to swimming until further notice. Health officials closed the popular swim site because of persistently high levels of E. Coli bacteria that has been recorded in that part of the lake, according to the Island County Public Health. Red advisory signs and caution tape will be posted at the swimming area to discourage swimmers from taking a dip. “We don’t want people to risk even going in there,” said Jack Hartt, manager of Deception Pass State Park. It appears that a high population of Canada geese, commonly referred to as Canada honkers, is the cause of the elevated E. Coli levels. Hartt said the population of the honkers has increased in recent years. He estimated that between 50 and 80 geese currently live at Cranberry
Lake. The droppings the geese produce has been a problem for park staff since each bird produces between one and three pounds of doo each day. He said staff cleans the manure from the beaches, but they don’t have any way to remove it from the water. Big piles of the poop remained at the edge of the deserted swimming hole Friday morning. The Island County Health Department is advising people to avoid swimming, wading or water play where water could be swallowed, get into the mouth nose or eyes. Contact with fecal contaminated bacteria can result in gastroenteritis, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections and other illnesses. The risk is greatest for young children, the elderly or anyone with a compromised immune system. Jill Wood, Island County environmental health director, said staff monitors swimming areas in the county on a monthly basis during the summer months. When staff noted the high concentrations of E. Coli when they took a sample at Cranberry Lake, they notified park staff of the situation and took a
ObituarY Stephen Earl Holmes
Stephen Earl Holmes born on May 21, 1940, passed away on July 22, 2012. He grew up in Yakima, Wash. and later attended University of Washington. His career began as a commercial pilot for Hughes Air West, then Republic, and finally retired from Northwest Airlines. Steve spent many summers on Whidbey Island with his family as a youngster, and eventually moved here to live on Whidbey Island for more than 20 years. During this time he contributed much time and effort, giving back to the community he so enjoyed. He owned Toby’s Tavern in Coupeville for about 10 years and then moved on to become an active volunteer with the “Central Whidbey Lions Club”, “The Master Gardeners’ Club”, and the “Langley Soup Kitchen”. He loved cooking and createdspecial soups there, devoting many hours to help meet the mission of the soup kitchen. Steve was always there
to assist his deceased wife’s many projects with the Island County Beach Watchers Organization and support her through her battle with cancer for over 7 years. As a neighbor and friend to many, Steve could always be counted on to lend a helping hand whenever needed. Steve also became a talented wood carver and caster of bronze masks; he also recently started guitar lessons and was working to master the guitar. Steve is survived by his sons: Brad, Bret, and Todd and his beloved golden Lab, Chester. He was preceded in death by Jan in December of 2011. He also leaves behind numerous friends who will miss him greatly. Services for Steve will be held at his home, 1944 Fircrest Ave, Coupeville, WA 98239 on Sunday, August 19 from 2pm to 5pm with a potluck dinner. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Central Whidbey Lions Club or Island County Beach Watchers Organization.
second sample to confirm the results. After the confirmation test, the closure was announced. The announcement marks the first time health officials have closed a freshwater swimming area in Island County because of E. Coli, Wood said. “We hope we can get a solution as quickly as possible,” Wood said. She complimented the efforts of park staff to proactively manage the closure. Health officials will monitor the bacteria levels at Cranberry Lake on a weekly basis. The closure of the west side of Cranberry Lake to swimming comes during the busiest time of the year at one of the busiest state parks in Washington. That swimming area is a popular attraction for campers and visitors. Only a narrow sandy beach separates it from the chilly waters of Puget Sound. “It’s going to be a real frustration to people coming up here expecting to find a swimming beach and not finding one,” Hartt said. The closure will affect the park system’s revenues and it will also affect the concession stand that operates near the swimming area, Hartt said. He noted that the lake is still open to boats and fishing. As for finding a solution to the bacteria problem, that could prove to be difficult. Hartt said staff is looking at options, but doesn’t have a solution yet. One option would be to make loud noise to scatter the geese, but that would disturb visitors. Gary Piazzon, member
of the Whidbey Audubon Society, said the best way eliminate a goose problem is to get rid of lawns, which are a favorite spot for the honkers because it gives them great visibility to spot potential predators. Cranberry Lake isn’t the only place on Whidbey Island that has had a goose issue. Plans were in place at Honeymoon Lake last spring to euthanize four adult geese and three goslings. That incident angered local bird enthusiasts and prompted a petition drive to try and save the geese. Eventually someone snuck into the area and removed the geese. Piazzon recommends against forcible relocation. Interacting with the geese could be dangerous and they also may have health problems that could threaten other geese populations. As for the water quality, Hartt said there isn’t much that can be done right now. The lake does drain toward the south, but the water level is currently low and it won’t drain quickly. He’s concern the swimming closure on the west side of Cranberry Lake will remain in effect through the summer. Hartt pointed out that the east side of Cranberry Lake can be used for swimming; however, it is also a popular fishing spot and it would take some cooperation for both activities. The east side of the lake doesn’t have a designated swimming area; it just has a pier which is popular with local anglers.

Fund opened to help Whidbey Island farm animals BY RECORD STAFF
Whidbey Island’s animal control officer is asking animal lovers to donate to a fund dedicated to helping abused or neglected farm animals. Animal Control Officer Carol Barnes said she recently served a search warrant and seized two horses from a North Whidbey man after determining that the animals were being denied adequate food, nutrition and veterinarian care. The mare and gelding

appeared emaciated and malnourished. Barnes said she’s investigating the case which may result in animal cruelty charges. The horses are currently at a secret location and are doing OK. “Thanks to Robert Moody, the large animal vet, and his staff for their care and compassion,” Barnes said. The trouble, she said, is that the county doesn’t have any program or funding to care for horses or other large animals that have to be taken away from owners.

Quake education shakes it up
Rebecca Olson / The Record
Members of the 4-HD Video Club finish filming for their earthquake disaster preparedness video that will debut Aug. 16-19 at the Whidbey Island Fair. They are filming a segment about what to do if caught on a beach when an earthquake strikes. From left to right are Isaac Cash, Dustin Scharwat, Avrey Scharwat and Patrick O’Brien.
4-H’ers take on earthquake disasters in educational video to debut at fair By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter
While other teenagers are playing video games and vacationing, a handful of Whidbey Island teens are preparing for an earthquake and tsunami of epic proportions. When the Red Cross asked the 4-HD Video Club to make a video preparing Whidbey Islanders for the possibility of an earthquake and tsunami that would isolate the island from the mainland, club members leaped on the idea. Despite the severity of the danger and the seriousness of preparing for such an event, the 4-HD Video Club found time to have a little fun while educating islanders. The group will show their 45-minute earthquake disaster preparedness video at the Whidbey Island Fair from Aug. 16 through Aug. 19 in Langley. Showings will be at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily in the Fine Arts Room in the Pole Building of the Island County Fairgrounds. Headed by Robert Elphick, a geophysicist who worked mostly in the oil and gas business studying the subsurface of Earth, the 4-HD Video Club is unique to the 20 4-H clubs on Whidbey Island because it focuses
on technology rather than animals. In the two years the club has existed, members have put quick-response codes on the Coupeville Wharf that, when scanned with a smartphone, lead to historical information, created high-tech posters for Whidbey Island Nourishes and made a number of videos, including an interview with a World War II veteran. “A lot of people think that 4-H is just animals … it’s important to realize there are clubs out there like ours that are teaching them about technology,” Elphick said. The Red Cross approached the group nine months ago and asked them to create a video that would prepare the community for disasters. The group latched onto the idea of earthquake preparation and started learning everything there is to know about earthquakes, Elphick said. Four club members invested a number of days per week over the past nine months to put the project in action: 12-year-old twin brothers Dustin and Avrey Scharwat, Isaac Cash, 13, and Patrick O’Brien, 14. Their educational journey into earthquakes took them to the University of Washington seismology laboratory. As part of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network,
the seismology lab monitors earthquakes across the state. Despite the abundance of information, the kids already knew it all, thanks to Elphick, said Paula Scharwat, coleader of the club. The first half of the video focuses on the geophysics of earthquakes, with special attention to the Cascadia Fault, which stretches from Vancouver Island to northern California. The second half of the video explains what Whidbey Island families can do to prepare for a disastrous earthquake and tsunami. To create their video, club members put together a storyboard more than 50 pages long using Mac computer software, which Elphick, a member of Macintosh Appreciation Group of Island County (MAGIC), is devoted to teaching. The teens created moving animations and diagrams for their video and filmed sequences around the island. Club members filmed interviews with Eric Brooks of the Department of Emergency Management, as well as members of the Red Cross and the Island County Amateur Radio Club and more. Their video covers topics like how to secure a house for an earthquake, how much food and water to store
View the video The 4-HD Video Club’s 45-minute earthquake disaster preparedness video will air at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16 through Sunday, Aug. 19 in the Fine Arts Room in the Pole Building at the Whidbey Island Fair, located on the Island County Fairgrounds in Langley.

The club found out that only three days of supplies would be available from local grocery stores. They also filmed sequences detailing what to do if you find yourself in a dangerous location during an earthquake, such as near trees, and how to do “duck, cover and hold” for protection during an earthquake. “We are now experts and it shows in the movie,” Elphick laughed. “I’ve learned a lot of things that I never See 4-H Video, A13

knew before and I really enjoyed doing this,” Avrey Scharwat said. Not only did he learn about local faults but he also used software to create animations of the faults and a three-dimensional image of Deception Pass Bridge. “I learned a lot this year,” Cash said, adding that he learned how to use a variety of new software programs. Paula Scharwat said that the boys enjoyed learning the computer programs so much that they’ve put their new skills to use for their own enjoyment and create fun videos in their free time. “I really enjoyed going to the University of Washington and learning about all the earthquake stuff they do there with the seismograms. I thought that was really cool how they have a network all over the world,” O’Brien said. The club members will use what they learned for their next project, which Elphick said will be video and photos of Venus and Saturn through a telescope. That is, if other agencies don’t approach the club for assistance first. From the Northwest Language Academy to the South Whidbey History Society, the teens have been busy using their skills to benefit their community. “So they see the quality of work 4-H’ers are doing
and get asked. But it’s great community service that all of them are learning to do to give back to the community,” Paula Scharwat said. But the quality of work is the product of the club members putting tons of quality time into the project, with a few meetings per week during summer vacation, and Elphick’s leadership. “Robert’s a good leader. He teaches us a lot, and he gave me a waffle cone today,” Dustin Scharwat said. “Robert has a good sense of humor and he keeps the kids involved,” Paula Scharwat added. As a mentor for the boys, Elphick shares his knowledge — and his sense of fun. As the boys rushed outside to film a scene teaching what to do if you find yourself on a beach during an earthquake, Elphick followed with the camera. “So how dirty can we get these kids,” he joked as the boys willingly threw themselves in the sand to film the scene. As they put the finishing touches on their video before showing it at the fair, Paula Scharwat said she’s excited to see teenagers creating such worthwhile, talented work. “It’s amazing the quality of work that can be done by teenagers,” she said. After viewing the club’s video at the fair, visit them at their booth to see the other projects they’re working on.
Pedestrians and bus riders may have a safer way to cross Highway 20 on the eastern edge of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. In its plans to re-align the intersection of Highway 20 with Parker Road, Island Transit officials hope to someday dig a pedestrian tunnel, known as the Kineth Passage project, that will go underneath the busy highway. It isn’t known yet exactly where the tunnel will be located and officials haven’t yet found the money needed to pay for the walkway beneath the highway. While some Central Whidbey residents were concerned about the safety of a new intersection of Parker Road and Highway 20, some also questioned
the need for a tunnel. Louise Harvey, who owns the Countryside Inn, located near the Island Transit headquarters, questioned during an Aug. 6 meeting whether such a tunnel is a good use of taxpayer dollars given that the state claimed at the same meeting it can’t afford to install a left-turn lane from the highway onto Parker Road. Harvey said she already has problems with trespassers and loiterers coming onto her property from nearby bus stops. Island Transit plans to re-align the intersection of Parker and Old Smith Prairie roads and Highway 20. Officials want to close the two intersections and install a new road in the middle. They also want to add a “bike and ride,” several parking spots and a kiosk informing visitors about Ebey’s Landing National
Historical Reserve. Several nearby residents are critical of the changes because it lacks a left-turn lane from the highway onto Parker Road. The proposed tunnel underneath Highway 20 would help connect nearby trails and provide a safe place for pedestrians to cross the busy highway. The proposed tunnel’s exact location isn’t known yet, Island Transit director Martha Rose said. Island Transit recently tried and failed to get grant money to pay for the approximate $1 million cost for the new tunnel but it isn’t known yet when and if such a project could be funded. “It is a dream of the future,” said Coupeville Town Councilman and Island Transit board member Bob Clay. The Regional
Transportation Planning Organization in late 2011 drafted a letter of support for Island Transit’s attempt to get federal funding to pay for research planning and engineering for the Kineth Passage tunnel. Plans for the tunnel are in the conceptual stages. Donna Keeler, regional transportation planner for Island County, said she hasn’t seen any drawings yet for the proposed tunnel. “Without knowing the design or full scale of the project, it’s hard to tell whether review and approval from the public works department would be required (in addition to approval from the state),” Keeler said in an email. “The county planning and community development department may also need to look at it.”
Seattle’s Best Coffee founders return to Whidbey Founders began with Coupeville’s ‘Wet Whisker’ By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
The founders of Seattle’s Best Coffee will be returning to Coupeville where their business got a start. Jim and Dave Stewart will attend an event, titled “From Coupeville to your Cup,” beginning at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 30 at the Coupeville Recreation
Hall on the corner of Alexander and Coveland streets. The Stewarts once operated the Wet Whisker, which is located in the Front Street building that is the current home of Kapaw’s Iskreme. Paul Whelan, whose family has owned the building for decades, said the event is a chance to remember a business that helped revitalize a struggling downtown. Whelan noted that the Wet Whisker enjoyed opening day sales of $17.26.
“We want to keep this history alive,” Whelan said. People attending the event will learn how the business started, its eventual but temporary expansion into Oak Harbor, and what the Stewart brothers have been up to since selling their Seattle’s Best Coffee business, which is currently owned by Starbucks. Their first employee and several family members will be on hand for the event. Local historian Judy Lynn, who has been developing an oral history of
Whidbey Island, will interview both Stewart brothers to add to the collection of interviews. People can also sample coffee-inspired desserts, enjoy some ice cream and listen to coffee and ice cream themed music. Naturally, people can enjoy some coffee, too. The evening is sponsored by the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association, the Island County Historical Society and the Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce.
Fund opened to help neglected, abused farm animals By RECORD STAFF
Whidbey Island’s animal control officer is asking animal lovers to donate to a fund dedicated to helping abused or neglected farm animals. Animal Control Officer Carol Barnes said she recently served a search warrant and seized two horses from a North Whidbey man after determining that the animals were being denied adequate food, nutrition and veterinarian care.
The mare and gelding appeared emaciated and malnourished. Barnes said she’s investigating the case which may result in animal cruelty charges. The horses are currently at a secret location and are doing OK. “Thanks to Robert Moody, the large animal vet, and his staff for their care and compassion,” Barnes said. The trouble, she said, is that the county doesn’t have any program or funding to care for horses or
other large animals that have to be taken away from owners. Barnes has set up a fund at Whidbey Island Bank. To donate, just ask for the WI Farm Animal
Assistance Program. “Fortunately, we have a great number of animal lovers here on Whidbey Island,” she said.
CORRECTION In an Aug. 4 article titled “Island Transit cuts ribbon for park,” Island Transit’s phone number was incorrectly stated as 360-321-6688. The correct contact numbers for Island Transit are 800-240-8747 or 360-678-7771. The Record regrets the error.

taken out of storage such a short time ago. Question is, will it be long enough for blackberries to turn black, tomatoes to turn red, and zucchini to proliferate enough to sneak onto a neighbor’s porch? There are a few other fun days coming up in August you won’t want to miss, such as Toasted Marshmallow Day on the 30th, and Race Your Mouse Day on the 27th.
something you do just because you want to, not because you have to or feel you ought to. Perhaps by the 27th, I’ll have enough zucchini to sneak some on my neighbor’s porch, just because I want to.
RECIPES Even though it’s not official, August is almost always Chilled Soup Month around our house. Soup is a favorite meal any time of the year, but chilled soup is a special treat on warm August evenings (which, according to the National Weather Service, will soon be waning). I happened to be in the waiting room of a doctor’s office a few weeks ago perusing the old magazines, and found this recipe for a delicious zucchini lemon soup. Yes, it’s also good hot, but chilled and accompanied by corn bread or sourdough
bread and a green salad, it is the taste of summertime.
ZUCCHINI LEMON SOUP 2 lbs. young zucchini (or other available summer squash), cut into ½-inch thick pieces 1 sweet onion, chopped 1-2 cloves garlic, minced 1 T. chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish Kosher or sea salt, about ½ t. or to taste ¼ t. each, ground cumin, ginger and coriander ½ t. ground turmeric 1 T. canola or other vegetable cooking oil 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock (always use homemade, if you have it) Juice of 1 lemon, or to taste Fresh snipped chives, for garnish See recipes, A15

far from its customary oversupply. Whether you blame it on the virtually non-existent spring we had, or the fact that hot, sunny days took so long to arrive, whatever the reason, zucchini will be a bit late this year, folks. As if that weren’t enough of a reminder of our too short August summertime, we’d no sooner begun to comment on how hot it is and head for beaches and boats in droves, than our ever informative weather service tells us summer is about to be on its way out. Say what? It’s true, unfortunately. According to a spokesperson from the National Weather Service, local temperatures typically begin to decline on or about the 17th or 18th of August, with decreasing highs and chillier nights.

In a deep pot, sauté the squash, onion, garlic, cilantro, salt, spices in the oil over med. heat, until the vegetables are golden and tender, about 7 min. Add 2 cups of the stock and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 min. add remaining stock and continue to cook until the vegetables are very tender, about 5 min. more. Puree the soup with an immersion blender, or in food processor or blender. If the soup is too thick for your preference, add ice cubes (this will both thin and help chill the soup). Add the lemon juice. Taste and add more lemon juice and salt/pepper, as needed; the soup should have a refreshing lemony tang. Chill well and serve cold, garnishing with chopped chives and/or cilantro. Serves 6. If it’s August, it’s sweet corn time, and right now it’s as good as it gets. This recipe for Chilled Corn Soup is quick and easy and takes full advantage of fresh, sweet corn.
CHILLED CORN SOUP 2 T. olive oil 1 sweet onion (or white onion) finely chopped ½ cup finely chopped celery Salt and pepper, to taste 5 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock, or use half stock and half water 3 ½ cups fresh corn kernels (cut from about 4 large ears) ¼ cup loosely packed fresh thyme sprigs Juice of half a lemon (or to taste) Heat oil in a heavy, large saucepan over med. heat. Add onion and celery; sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and sauté until almost tender, about 5 min. Add the stock/water, corn kernels and thyme. Bring to boil, reduce heat to med.-low and simmer until corn is very tender, about 25 min. Cool slightly; remove thyme sprigs. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth, adding the lemon juice as you puree. Pour through a strainer set over a large bowl, pressing on solids in the strainer to release liquid. Discard solids in
strainer. If soup is too thick for your taste, thin with more water or stock by ¼ cupfuls, until desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Cover and chill until cold. Note: If you’re fortunate enough to have fresh cooked crab meat available, adding it to this corn soup makes it outstanding! The most well-known chilled soup is, of course, vichyssoise, and it’s still at the top of my chilled soup list. But, adding some of that fresh sweet corn we talked about above takes it to a new level.
CORN VICHYSSOISE 2 T. extra virgin olive oil 2 med. leeks, white and light green parts only, coarsely chopped (about 1 ½ cups) 5 ears shucked corn, kernels cut from the cobs and cobs reserved 1 cup coarsely chopped peeled potato 4 cups vegetable stock Salt and freshly ground black pepper (or use white pepper if you don’t want black specks in your soup) 1 T. fresh lemon juice Sour cream or crème fraiche, for topping Finely chopped fresh chives Heat oil in a large heavy pot over med. heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 min. Add corn kernels, reserved cobs, potato and stock. Season lightly with salt and pepper, increase heat to high and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover with lid just lightly ajar, and cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 35-40 min. Discard corn cobs; let soup cool slightly. Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until very smooth. Set a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and strain soup, discarding solids. Chill soup until cold. If too thick, thin with cold water by ¼-cupfuls until desired consistency is reached. Stir in lemon juice; taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve, topped with a small dollop of sour cream or crème fraiche and a sprinkle of chives. Serves 4.

Have a picnic, help the reserve at the ferry house By Record Staff
For the first time since 2010, the historic Ferry House, located in Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, will open briefly to the public. The Ferry House will open to the public Saturday, Aug. 18 as part of a fundraiser for the Ebey’s Forever Fund. It will provide a chance for residents to take guided tours of the historic building and enjoy a picnic with local food and music, said a news release. General admission tickets cost $75 for the event that goes from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Ferry House was built in 1860 on the donation land claim of Isaac Ebey. The building served boat traffic between Port Townsend and Coupeville, as well as a post office and a rendezvous point for mariners anchored at Penn Cove, Oak Harbor and Port
Townsend. Officials opened the ferry house to the public in 2010 when Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve received a Partners in Preservation grant. That grant helped fund a stabilization project and rebuild the structure’s front porch. Admission tickets for the day include a dinner by Serendipity Catering, local music and a raffle. Docents from the Jacob Ebey House will lead tours of the house from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The docents have expanded their understanding of the Reserve’s history through the documented experiences of the Ebey family. A limited number of “Golden Tickets” are available. It addition to the picnic, people will also participate in an intimate tour of three buildings on the National Historic Register: the

The Ferry House will open to the public Aug. 18 for tours. The Coupeville landmark hasn’t been open since 2010. Comstock Barn built in 1939, the Engle Water Tower built in 1911 and the Sheepherder’s House built around 1900. Golden tickets are $200 per person or $350 per couple.

Highland Games feature throwers, pipers BY NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter
Nathan Whalen/Whidbey News-Times
Barry Kirk and Joiem Kawas participated in a piping competition during the Whidbey Highland Games.
For several hours Saturday, everybody visiting the Greenbank Farm turned a bit Scottish. Caber tossing, bagpiping and dancing were some of the events that drew hundreds of people to the Whidbey Island Highland Games. In its 14th year, the games showcase a variety of Celtic-
themed athletic events including the caber toss, which features poles that range from 13 to 17 feet in length; the Scottish hammer; putting the stone, which weighs 17 pounds; and throwing weights for height and distance. The athletic games drew competitors from across the Puget Sound region, who compete through a circuit of Highland Games that take place every

weekend throughout the summer and fall. Jessica Larson, president of the Whidbey Island Celtic Society, said the Whidbey Island games aren’t the largest Scottish-themed event in the region, but it’s been described as the one with the most heart. Bagpipers and drummers also spent the day in competition. They also teamed up for massed performances. Groups that performed were the Clan Gordon Pipe Band, the Kenmore and District Pipe Band, the Northwest Junior Pipe Band and the Washington Scottish Pipe Band. Larson estimated approximately 1,500 people came through the gates into the Highland Games. Folks could watch highland dancers, weapons displays and the Cascade Comet Dogs. Larson also claimed
success for the children’s activities, which included smaller scale throwing events to help spark their interest in the games and an appearance by the popular Balloon Fairy from Bellingham. The money raised from the highland games benefits the Whidbey Island Celtic Society, which organizes the games as well as several educational activities throughout the year. The Whidbey Island Highland Games took place on a busy weekend that included the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival, the Oak Harbor Car Show and the Fidalgo Avenue Block Party and Pig Roast. Larson said people were able to attend more than one of the events making for a fun two days. “We’re always hoping people can make it the whole weekend,” Larson said.
