Letters to Santa, winter wishes BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
LANGLEY — The Record visited with kindergartners at South Whidbey Elementary for some holiday cheer this year. South Whidbey’s youngsters
were eager for the winter break, and more importantly, presents. Kids wrote letters to Santa and winter wishes asking for more family togetherness, Legos, puppies, cookies to rain from the sky, a “rockstar cat,”
a remote control motorcycle, a guitar and nail polish. Here’s what students in Emily Czerwonka’s and Diane Burgess’ kindergarten classes wished for this holiday season.

Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick announced Thursday morning he plans to keep his position despite entering a guilty plea Monday to a gross misdemeanor that resulted in a 15-day jail sentence starting in February. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks reacted quickly and moved to force Kwarsick to step down. He announced Thursday afternoon that he would file a lawsuit against Kwarsick on Friday, claiming he failed to step down from two public offices: as mayor of Langley as well as Coupeville’s part-time town planner. Kwarsick left town before a Langley City Council meeting Tuesday evening for a family vacation. The five council members and most of the large crowd in attendance seemed to support retaining him as mayor regardless of his legal troubles. A South Whidbey Record email inquiry to Kwarsick the next day resulted in a short reply Thursday morning. “I am humbled by the support I have received from people in the community, the staff at city hall, and the council,” Kwarsick wrote. “I plan to continue to serve the city of Langley as mayor.” Banks, speaking by phone late Thursday, said, “I am disappointed in the mayor and the council. The council
Larry Kwarsick is saying they believe it’s OK (to break the law) if he’s popular.” In fact, Banks said, Kwarsick admitted to a gross misdemeanor regarding a city permit, the conditions of which he changed to benefit a relative. The prosecutor wrote in a statement, “Today I initiated Quo Warranto proceeding in Superior Court to enforce Washington’s law that requires a person convicted of malfeasance in office to forfeit public office and be forever barred from holding public office.” Kwarsick pleaded guilty to one charge of “falsifying a city record” in Island County Superior Court. A plea agreement worked out by Kwarsick’s attorney Charles Arndt and Banks called for 364 days in jail suspended (meaning no jail time), a $2,500 fine and Kwarsick’s resignation from office. However, an angry Judge Vickie Churchill unexpectedly added 15 days in jail, saying the mayor violated the public trust. But Banks said that didn’t change the rest of the agreement. “The unmistakable understanding was that Mr. See mayor, A10

Meeting planned to ease Navy jet noise concerns By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter An online petition to stop military exercises at the U.S. Navy’s airfield on Central Whidbey will not succeed, but it may lead to improvements in communication, according to Congressman Rick Larsen. The petition began Dec. 1 and now has more than 1,000 signatures. Organizers plan to send it to Congress and President Barack Obama but the Second District Democrat said this week that their efforts will not result in the closure of Outlying Field. “OLF is not going away,” Larsen said. A longtime member of the U.S. House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, Larsen is a strong supporter of the Navy and its presence in Western Washington. Over the past year Larsen worked to retain plans to make Whidbey Island Naval Air Station home to four squadrons of the sub-hunting P-8A Poseidon aircraft. Larsen disagrees with one of the main tenets of the peti-
tion, that flight operations are inappropriate in Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, which is part of the national park system. “You can easily make the reverse argument because OLF was there before the reserve,” Larsen said. “We need to recognize, the reality is OLF is where it is and the reserve is where it is,” he said. But while the congressman is steadfast in his support for the practice landing strip and the Navy’s mission on Whidbey Island, he said base leaders should be cognizant of the concerns of Central Whidbey residents. To that end, a contingent of local elected officials and community leaders are planning to meet with base officials to discuss the noise issues surrounding the airfield. Expected participants include Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, Oak Harbor Navy League President Jim Slowik and a representative from Larsen’s office. Conard, who is organiz-

Larsen said. He also noted that the base’s presence on Whidbey Island is in no way threatened by the recent controversy at OLF. There are many other bases around the county that are dealing with much tougher encroachment issues, he said. Any claims that the criticism of Central Whidbey residents somehow put the base at risk are “specious arguments,” he said. “The ability to express your opinion is one of the great things about this country and people should not be afraid to do it,” Larsen said. “They just need to know people may have different opinions.”

to those who live with the noise year round. “It would be a positive step,” she said. The base used to publicize its touch-and-go operations at the airfield but that screeched to a halt following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Larsen also supports the return of some type of schedule, though it may not be as thorough as those released prior to 9/11 because the Navy can’t violate its force protection guidelines. People should, however, be able have enough information to plan around the Navy’s flight operations, he said. “I thinks it’s a fair question to ask and fair question for the Navy to consider,”

FIRE/EMS Ten accepted as Fire/EMS volunteers The ranks of South Whidbey Fire/EMS were recently bolstered. Ten volunteer members were approved by the fire protection district’s commissioners at their meeting Thursday night. Vincent Bond, Sean McDougald, Brian Johnson, Elizabeth Majestic, Clark Cameron, Adam Price, Kelly Cammermeyer, Pamela
Uhlig, Herschel Rostov and Jeff Cravy joined South Whidbey Fire/EMS as emergency medical technicians and firefighters — either way, they’re volunteer first responders now.

approval by the Jan. 10 fire commissioners meeting. Palmer’s original contract in 2009 was for a base salary of $95,500, which increases to about $99,000 if the commissioners approve.
SCHOOLS Board members renew positions Lots of things are shaking up in the South Whidbey School District with a pair of levy requests coming in February. But the school board will remain the same. Board members nominated and approved each of their official and unofficial positions at Wednesday’s meeting. Steve Scoles, who has served as a board member for several terms, will chair the board for a second year.

Linda Racicot, in only her second year, will again serve as the vice chair and board auditor. Veteran Board Member Fred O’Neal was again appointed to be the board’s legislative representative. O’Neal has planned trips to Washington, D.C. and Olympia for educational rallies. Second-year board member Damian Greene will be the district’s Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rep. Jill Engstrom agreed to re-up as the board’s policy representative. “Most boards don’t have a policy rep,” O’Neal said. “And most boards don’t have policies as robust and up-to-date as ours.”
WHIDBEY Almanac 2013 is taking shape The 2013 issue of the popular Whidbey Island Almanac published by Whidbey Island’s three community newspapers is in the works. The Almanac includes
everything newcomers to the island need to know — and a lot of things old-timers didn’t know or have forgotten. It’s distributed inside the newspapers and over the course of the year at various outlets throughout the island. The Almanac includes an extensive listing of nonprofit clubs and organizations covering all of Whidbey Island. Anyone wishing to be included, or who wants to change information from last year’s issue, should send an email as soon as possible to jlarsen@ whidbeynewsgroup.com. For information about advertising, contact Lee Ann Mozes (North and Central Whidbey) at 360-675-6611 or Kim Winjum (South Whidbey) at 221-5300. The Almanac will be printed in January.

All licensed winter season crabbers have until Feb. 1 to report their catch. State fishing rules from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife requires all sport crabbers to submit catch reports, whether they caught 100 crabs or zero. “By submitting their catch data, crabbers play an important role in managing the Puget Sound crab fishery,” said Rich Childers, the shellfish policy lead for Fish and Wildlife. “We need to hear from everyone who was issued a winter catch card, including from those who didn’t catch any crab.” Should sport crabbers fail to submit a winter catch report, they will be fined $10 when they purchase a 2013 crab endorsement. To submit catch reports, crabbers may send their catch record card to WDFW by mail or file their report on a special website on the department’s licensing website. The mailing address is WDFW CRC Unit, 600 Capitol Way N., Olympia, WA 98501-1091. The online reporting system will be available Jan. 1-Feb. 1 at https:// fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/ wdfw/puget_sound_ crab_catch.html. Puget Sound marine areas will be closed to recreational crabbing until next summer.

In our opinion
Have a merry island Christmas It’s Dec. 22: The first day of our last weekend before Christmas. Time to rush here, rush there, go to the mall, the mega grocery store, wait at traffic lights, purchase just the right gift made in China, mutter curses in silent parking space battles, try to merge when nobody wants to slow down to let your car onto the freeway. As Peggy Lee used to sing, “Is this all there is?” In fact, there is much more to Christmas if you just cool your heels here on Whidbey Island and enjoy yourself. Our shops are still open and they have plenty of stuff to please everyone in the family. A country drive to Langley, Freeland or Clinton is better than Alderwood by a country mile. Shopping all done? Then get out and enjoy your time on Whidbey. How long has it been since you’ve gone to church? Thousands of South Whidbey residents go every Sunday, but thousands of others do not. Christmas church listings can be found on pages 12 and 13 of today’s Record. Bring the kids; rekindle your own memories of Christmas at church, with children replaying the night Christ was born, the sweet sound of choirs with their traditional Christmas music, and just the feeling of peace one finds in such a surrounding, comfortably sitting with family, friends and strangers who suddenly look friendly. Get outside and take a walk. Winter on Whidbey is beautiful, if subdued. There’s plenty of evergreen trees, madronas, salal and evergreen huckleberries. The alders are mostly missing their leaves by now, but you might sport a big, yellow maple leaf clinging to its branch. Watch for birds. Frances Wood, the South Whidbey Record birding columnist, has a website listing 41 Whidbey places to see birds, not counting your own backyard. Go to www.franceswood.net and find out what you’re looking at and listening to. It’s not only cheep, it’s free. Try walking at night time down some lonely lane or road. Keep a light handy in case a car appears, but try walking in the dark. You might hear owls hooting or coyotes yipping, or just the sound of silence, so impossible to “hear” on the mainland. Look for a hole in the clouds, we even have stars. Commune with nature while thinking about what Christmas really means. It’s often an ugly world we live in, and that’s what is endlessly reported on the evening news. But we have peace on Whidbey and it’s easy to find. So relax and have yourself a very merry Whidbey Christmas.
Letters In response Nothing free about recycling To the editor: Island County’s recycling rate is 32 percent. The national recycling rate is 34 percent. Counties with curbside recycling are in the range of 50 percent and above. If we were doing such a great job recycling without curbside recycling, our recycling rate would be closer to that of other counties that do have curbside recycling. Experience has shown that high recycle rates result from very convenient, easy-to-use services. If garbage is more convenient than recycling, then that’s where a lot of good recyclables will end up. Combining recycling service with garbage service and making sure everyone gets a recycling container are keys to success. We have become accustomed to the idea that we have free recycling available to us, so why would we want to pay

for it to be collected curbside? First of all, dropping off recyclables at the Bayview Recycle Park, for instance, isn’t free. The fee paid per vehicle is the same whether it is your pickup with garbage from your own home, or a garbage truck holding the garbage from 300 to 400 households. Each vehicle pays $4.49 toward the recycling program. So when garbage service customers use the recycle parks, it is really predominantly the self-haul garbage customers who are paying for the recycling services that the garbage service customers are using. It’s not free, it’s just being paid for you by someone else. Whidbey is an island with an abundance of retreat centers for thoughtful people and lots of coastline that is loved by many, whether for watching, walking, or fishing. Sustainability is on the lips of many locals and visitors alike. Let’s take the next step and do our part with curbside recycling. Sego Jackson Clinton

recycling for those members of our community who opt to pay for it. We do not, however, support an incremental fee for services which we neither want nor would use. Each week in the course of running our other errands, we take our materials destined to be recycled to Jill and Dave Campbell’s Island Recycling. The volume of materials we deliver to Island Recycling each week far exceeds the amount of waste that Island Disposal picks up from us curbside. Should curbside recycling charges automatically be added to our Island Disposal bill we would likely cancel their service altogether. Charging Island Disposal customers for a service they do not want is ridiculous. Comcast is not allowed to automatically charge us for HBO … is that coming next? Andrea Slichter Freeland

You only had ginger ale at the office party but you took some allergy medication a couple of hours earlier, and didn’t pay much heed to the warning “do not operate heavy machinery.” The traffic light is yellow.

both scenarios, one by alcohol, the other by over-thecounter medication. Impaired driving happens here, and it happens here a lot more than people realize. The Island County Sheriff’s Office and Island County Detachment of Washington State Patrol reported a total of 279 DUI arrests in 2011. By the end of November 2012 that combined total was well beyond that at 354. Adding DUI arrests for Oak Harbor, Coupeville and Langley so far this year, with all but four in Oak Harbor, that number climbs to 403. And the holidays will add to that. Those numbers might not seem like much of an increase to some, but experts figure that a motorist can drive under the influence up to 1,000 times before an arrest, and that “first offender” really means “first time caught.” Many hitand-run drivers are also seen by police and researchers as DUIs who don’t get caught. Knowledge is power. IDIPIC panels are not only for DUI/Minor in Possession (MIP) offenders and driver’s education students and their parents, they offer all drivers potentially lifesaving information for both head and heart for “safer kids, safer roads.” Do check IDIPIC’s website for upcoming panel dates, other information or to join its team of 70-plus volunteers.

Pair of Falcon seniors lead scoring feast Leaky defense
costs Falcon boys against Lakewood
BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter The Falcon girls basketball team made one guarantee Tuesday. South Whidbey won’t finish the Cascade Conference season winless after defeating Lakewood 51-40 on the road. “It felt so good,” said Falcon senior Hayley Newman. “We were getting so frustrated with ourselves.” After scoring only nine points in the second half Friday against Coupeville, South Whidbey steadily poured in 33 in the final periods against Lakewood (1-3 Cascade Conference; 3-4 overall). Reliable seniors Ellie Greene and Newman secured the victory. The Falcon co-captains combined for 35 points. Greene, a slasher, cut to the rim for layups and pullup jump shots. The victory was a much-needed bounce back for Greene after going scoreless against Whidbey Island rival Coupeville on Dec. 14. On Tuesday, Greene continued her scoring tear with a game-high 18 points that started Dec. 15 against Overlake where she dropped 17 points. Newman, typically a shooter, scored one three-point shot. As defenders swarmed her every time she had the ball, Newman found room to break for the hoop for layups or fouls. The strategy worked as Newman scored 17 points. Lakewood gained an early lead, 13-12, by the first quarter. South Whidbey (1-3 Cascade Conference; 5-4 overall) responded with lockdown defense, holding Lakewood to seven points in the second quarter. The Falcons dropped 16 points to

From the second quarter, the Falcons kept the lead. But it wasn’t easy. South Whidbey played with a limited roster. Key reserve sophomore Abby Hodson was out of town on a planned absence. Eventually, tired legs caught up with the Falcons, who fought off a fourth-quarter rally attempt by the Cougars. South Whidbey survived four three-point baskets by Lakewood, three of which were made by Cougar freshman Haley Senyitko. “We were up the whole game by 10 or 15 points, then with four minutes left we only have a five-point lead,” Newman said. “We just weren’t closing out on her, and she can hit that open shot.”

South Whidbey had little trouble scoring against Lakewood en route to 58 points. The Falcons’ challenge, and ultimately their failure, was stopping the Lakewood Cougars. Lakewood ran away with the Cascade Conference game Tuesday, 71-58, the second-most points allowed by the South Whidbey boys basketball team this season. “Defense is not our concern at the moment. We’re holding teams pretty well,” said Falcon junior Brandon Asay. “Lakewood is the exception to that.” Just when things seemed to turn a corner for the Falcons on the heels of their first win streak, the Cougars came to Langley and mauled their way on the back of Ryan Alford, who scored a game-high 27 points. Alford drained three three-point shots, the only shots beyond the arc Lakewood scored. “He was breaking us down one-on-one, which is not only the fault of the person guarding him but the help defense, too,” Asay said. “He was able to attack our defense which was kind of crumbling under their attack.” Most of Lakewood’s 71 points came inside the paint, where South Whidbey’s front court of forwards Angus Jones and Nick French, 6-5 and 6-2, respectively, was challenged. French scored a team-high 20 points, his second 20-point game in a row (he had 20 against Overlake on Dec. 15). In the previous two wins, South Whidbey had held opponents to 37 and 51 points. Keeping teams under 50 points, one Falcon senior said after downing Coupeville on Friday, was critical to winning. The importance of defensive stops was not lost on South Whidbey (1-3 Cascade Conference; 3-6
Ben Watanabe / Record file
Josh Bishop, seen here Dec. 14 against Coupeville, scored 14 points in a loss to Lakewood on Tuesday, Dec. 18. overall). It was just hard to execute. “The type of defense we play doesn’t matter if we don’t have intensity,” Asay said. “We’ve got to pick that back up.” The Falcons led 12-8 after the first quarter. But the Cougars roared in the second with 24 points and held a 32-25 lead at halftime. Defensively, the Falcons tightened a bit in the third quarter and held the Cougars to 15 points while finding a few more points themselves. By the final quarter, the Falcons trailed only four points. But the Cougars are closers and flourished with another 24-point quarter to go up by double digits. Poor free throw shooting and turnovers again plagued South Whidbey, Asay recalled. Time will heal those wounds and improve the team as it familiarizes itself with the offense. “As the season goes on, we’re finding ourselves in rhythm,” said Asay, who scored 11 points. “The struggle is some players’ unfamiliarity with the offense … we tend to take our shots a bit too early.” Falcon senior Josh Bishop came off the bench and scored 14 points, including a trio of three pointers.

State park reopens after aggressive dogs caught Abandoned dogs seized after attacking hikers BY JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter Fort Ebey State Park on Central Whidbey was reopened this week after two aggressive dogs were finally caught after running loose in the area for five days last week. Carol Barnes, the Island County animal control officer, is now asking for the public’s help in identifying
the person who abandoned the dogs at the park. She encourages anyone who knows who may own the dogs to call the dispatch center at 360-679-9567 and request to contact animal control. Barnes said a resident of the Pebble Beach area north of the park called her Saturday morning to say the dogs were in his yard. She said Phillip Cook, the resident, was able to feed the dogs and they didn’t act aggressively towards him. Barnes said she and Cook lured the dogs into her minivan with cookies

and kind words. “I really appreciated his assistance,” she said. “I’m not sure we would have been able to catch them without his help.” Officials have been searching for the dogs since they attacked two hikers on a trail in the park Tuesday, Dec. 11. A man was bitten by the larger of the two dogs and had to have stitches; the woman locked herself in a restroom and called for help. Park rangers immediately started looking for the former pets and found that someone had left a bag of dog food, presumably when the dogs were abandoned. The dogs were aggressive toward the rangers and had to be peppersprayed.
Whidbey resident Phillip Cook took this photo of the wayward dogs that caused the state to close a park. He fed the dogs and helped catch them. After a couple of days, the dogs started roaming

She said the dogs will not be available for adoption because they attacked the hikers, which means they will be euthanized. “It’s a tragic outcome,” she said. “Unfortunately, the dogs have to suffer as a result of an irresponsible owner.”

Options viewed for highway intersections near OLF $1.5 million available for improvements BY NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter About 50 residents, transportation officials and community leaders discussed options being considered to alter several intersections on Highway 20 between Island Transit’s headquarters and Outlying Field. The Washington State Department of Transportation came up with a list of eight options to alter the intersections around Old Smith Prairie, Parker and Morris roads, which is also the area Island Transit wants to place a secondary access to its new headquarters currently under construction. The options stem from concerns residents had about Island Transit’s plans to alter the intersections in the area to make room for a secondary access. Residents were concerned the alterations would make the area more hazardous for drivers. “I’m pretty sure the highway department has listened,” Bob Clay, Coupeville town councilman and Island Transit board member, said. He recognized the difficulty in coming up with a plan that meets everybody’s needs. From January 2005 to April 2012, 42 collisions have taken place on Highway 20 from Jacobs Road to Morris Road. Of that amount, 11 accidents have happened at Morris Road and two at Old Smith Prairie Road. The Dec. 13 evening presentation was a followup from a meeting that took place in August. Transportation officials organized the meeting to get comments from residents about the options being considered. Transportation officials noted that funding isn’t available to complete the projects. Those options include: • Re-align Parker Road and add new left turn lanes on Highway 20 at Morris Road and the New Parker Road. Close the intersection at Old Smith Prairie Road and install Island Transit’s secondary access. Estimates range between $2 million and $2.9 million. • Aligning Parker Road to Morris Road while closing the intersections of Parker and Old Smith Prairie roads
and install left turn lanes while providing Island Transit’s secondary access. Estimates place the cost between $1.8 million and $2.6 million. • Aligning Morris Road to Parker Road while closing the intersections at Morris and Old Smith Prairie roads and install left turn lanes while providing Island Transit’s secondary access. Estimates place the cost between $2 million to $2.9 million. The first three options incorporate Island Transit’s need for a secondary access to its facility. • Add a left turn lane at the existing Island Transit entrance on Highway 20. Safety improvements at the Morris and Parker roads intersection would still have to move forward and doesn’t address Island Transit’s need for a secondary access. Cost for the option ranges from $1.4 million to $2 million, but doesn’t include the costs for improvements at Parker and Morris roads. Todd Harrison, assistant regional administrator for the department of transportation, also presented four additional options that he described as low on the fea-
sibility scale. Two of those options considered purchasing the private Plum Creek Road and establishing a right of way through the transfer station. However, county officials wouldn’t want traffic going through the facility, the department of transportation would have to contend with conservation easements and it doesn’t address Island Transit’s needs. Harrison said the costs concerning the Plum Creek Road options were unknown. The department of transportation showed two options for roundabouts, but those were costly and still didn’t meet Island Transit’s need for a secondary access. The meeting stemmed from the transit agency’s original plan to install a secondary access, close the intersections of Old Smith Prairie and Morris roads and install a new intersection between the two. A public meeting concerning the area last took place in August. Martha Rose, executive director for Island Transit, said the secondary access is a requirement for the occupancy permit.

However, the department of transportation was able to obtain an additional $1.5 million to address problems at the intersections

OBITUARY Diana (DeDee) Ross
DeDee went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ November 15 2012, after a lengthly battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving husband Bob and their children. DeDee was born April 24, 1945 in Vallejo, Calif. and was put up for adoption along with her twin brother Richard. Their adopting parents Richard and Barbara Benofsky, raised the twins in Lafayette, Calif. DeDee met Bob, her future husband in 1960 and they were married August 10, 1964. They had three daughters and one son in California. They moved to Whidbey Island in 1972. There they raised their four children in Langley and attended the Langley Christian Missionary Alliance church. In 1978 DeDee started working for the preschool at the church, and in 1991 became the director of the school, retiring in 2005. One of her greatest joys was serving the Lord through teaching the children for 29 years. When her husband retired in 2006, the next 6 1/2 years were spent just enjoying being together, going to town, traveling and being with their children and nine grandchildren. DeDee was preceded in

doors.” The City Council met a day after Kwarsick admitted to a crime and was sentenced. Mayor pro-tem Hal Seligson called the meeting to gauge the feelings of the council and public about Kwarsick’s situation. He left no doubt who was still in charge. “Larry Kwarsick until such time as he should step down is the mayor,” he said. He later explained that didn’t mean he though the mayor should not resign. It appeared to be mostly a meeting of Larry Kwarsick’s friends, as those urging him to remain as mayor drew applause and those who took verbal shots at the judge who sentenced him to jail were supported by clapping and scattered cheers. Councilwoman Rene Neff said, “He hopes he can remain mayor.” Banks’ belief that

Kwarsick would immediately have to step down as mayor was questioned Tuesday night by Langley City Attorney Mike Kenyon. He said the law is fairly clear that a public official who commits a felony must leave his job, but not so with lesser crimes, such as gross misdemeanors. “There’s no statute that mentions a misdemeanor shall forfeit office,” Kenyon said. He noted Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn admitted to driving while intoxicated. He not only kept his job but was reelected last fall. “Should the mayor stay?” the city attorney rhetorically asked the crowd of some 40 people stuffed into the tiny council chambers, with others listening from outside an open door. “It’s not my job to say that either way … but there’s no challenge in court right now to have him

removed from office.” Banks filed the challenge on Friday. An audience member asked about a recall election, but Kenyon said that applies to “malfeasance while in office.” Kwarsick’s offense, he said, “occurred before Larry was mayor.” As the city planner, Kwarsick doctored a relative’s permit to ease environmental oversight of a home built near a wetland, then backdated it to make it appear a predecessor wrote it and replaced it in city files. While admitting the issue isn’t entirely clear, the attorney said Kwarsick may remain as mayor until “a court says no.” Kwarsick’s crime was uncovered by a blogger, Skip Demuth, with help from local environmentalist Marianne Edain. City planner Jeff Arango filed a whisteblower complaint to notify the council of the deed, and after mulling over the situation the council asked the prosecutor’s office to decide if a crime had been committed. Tuesday night, Councilwoman Neff read a long statement defending Kwarsick. Although he changed an official document, “very little harm was done by Larry,” she said. “It was not a permit; the house was already built. It simply ‘collapsed’ the wetland mitigation process ‘to one year, not seven.’” “I have no idea what was going through Larry’s mind when he chose to alter this

document. I do believe he was doing what he stated, ‘just getting it finished up.’” Neff cited a list of Kwarsick’s accomplishments that she believes outweigh his crime. Kwarsick supporter Carol Kerly said the situation was “blown completely out of proportion,” and commended Kwarsick. “His passion and what he wants to see happen to this little town is contagious,” she said, prompting applause. Several speakers lauded the progress Kwarsick has made after one year in office, including upcoming Second Street improvements and work on the marina expansion and associated projects, while others said he deserves a second chance. “It’s not like we’re all clean here,” said Councilman Bruce Allen, striking an almost religious tone. “It’s just that Larry’s was a public one.” Allen tore into Judge Churchill, saying he and other council members who attended Monday’s sentencing spent two hours watching the judge deal with a variety of convicted criminals, from domestic abusers to drug violators. “She was very compassionate, and then it was Larry’s turn and her demeanor changed completely,” he said. “You could see there was a bias in there. Is there anything we can do?” A woman in the crowd added, “The judge, I think, was horrid.” Allen retorted, “I don’t think it was a fair trial.” But by as the end of the week neared, Kwarsick’s support among council members was getting shaky. Councilman Jim Sundberg, who spoke in court Monday asking for a lighter sentence for Kwarsick, changed his tune in a call to the Record Thursday afternoon. “My position is I’ve reread the RCWs and ordinances and he can not remain as mayor,” Sundberg said. Hal Seligson, the mayor pro-tem, clarified his position Friday, saying “he should have resigned; I actually expected he would resign.” He said he was more vague Tuesday because “I admire him as a person,” and he thought Kwarsick would decide to resign after his brief vacation. Seligson replied in the affirmative when asked if he thought a majority of the council would now recommend that Kwarsick resign.

Lots of needs met, thanks at Good Cheer Food Bank BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
Even amid rising need at the Good Cheer Food Bank, staff had plenty to be thankful for. They had 180 volunteers who stocked the food bank and worked at the thrift stores. They had fulfilled thousands of requests for food. And they helped children buy gifts for their families from the Good Cheer thrift shops. South Whidbey Assembly of God hosted and prepared a banquet of chicken, vegetables, rice and cheesecake for Good Cheer’s volunteers Saturday. Espresso was avail-
able from Whidbey Coffee, too. “It was such a nice treat for Good Cheer volunteers who often are taking care of someone else, to be pampered and fed,” said Shawn Nowlin, Good Cheer’s community outreach coordinator, in a press release. And Good Cheer needs happy volunteers this month. As of Dec. 19, 700 families had shopped at the food bank, and the food bank manager predicted that December’s service record could be broken this year. “We’re well on our way for December,” said Good Cheer

Whidbey is dreaming of a green Christmas Simple tips lead to sustainable practices at holidays Instead of hoping for a white Christmas this year, keep it green. A few easy tips can make the holidays merrier for nature, too. “Our community, economy and environment depend on us making sustainable choices every day.
It is especially important this time of year when there is an increase in traveling, shopping, heating, eating and disposing. Here are some little things you can do to be green this holiday season, and together, we can make a big
difference,” said Melody Kuschnereit, coordinator for Sustainable Whidbey Coalition. • Consider a real tree, which can be recycled or better yet, a live tree that can be planted outside after the holidays. Indoor
varieties are also available, which can liven up your home year round. • Get creative with wrapping. Use twine around paper bag wrapping, with a pine cone and an evergreen twig for a festive, rustic “bow.” Put gifts in reusable containers, wrap them in fabric or use boxes, paper
and bows saved from last season. Paper bags and newspaper comics also make for creative wrapping paper. • Salts commonly used to de-ice sidewalks can be very harmful to plant and animal life. Look for safer de-icers made from calcium magnesium acetate, potas-
sium chloride or calcium chloride. • Consider shopping online, if you really can’t find everything on your list locally. To have 10 pounds of packages shipped by overnight air uses 40

Spa manager Marilyn Strong said that high quality products and a commitment to aligning mind, body and soul is at the center of the facility’s new treatment menu.
New treatments, winter retreats debut at The Spa at the Inn at Langley BY MICHAELA MARX WHEATLEY Staff reporter
W
ith a view of Saratoga Passage and the aroma of essential oils on your skin, nothing beats a spa treatment this time of year. The Spa at the Inn at Langley offers just that. In fact, they are debuting a whole new menu of innovative treatments and in the new year, the spa will also premier “holistic wellness packages” for guests — all in collaboration with other local businesses, spa director Marilyn Strong said. The facility has undergone a transformation in the past year. The Spa opened its doors this spring after undergoing major renovations. The space, previously occupied by Spa Essencia, has become a more airy, rejuvenating oasis for wellness, complete with a relaxation area, steam room and three treatment rooms, one of which is outfitted for side-byside treatments for couples. Walls came down, rooms were updated
and the color scheme is embracing the spa’s new tagline: The Spa — where forest meets the sea. The update is reflecting owners Pam and Paul Schell’s vision of the Inn at Langley as a retreat rather than just a hotel, and they took a hands-on approach in the recreation of the space by picking out color schemes and more, Strong said. “The Spa is much more integrated with the inn,” she explained. The place is now an extension of the inn instead of an independent business. “Paul and Pam have always seen the inn as a retreat,” she said. “Before they built this place they came here to rejuvenate and renew themselves.” Strong added that this is also the goal for guests. The Spa’s
new menu focuses on high quality treatments and the providers use only pure, organic, socially responsible and environmentally conscious product lines. The Spa offers hot stone massages and aromatherapy treatments. Guests can enjoy the steam room and experience the flow of a facial or body treatment. Bringing in once again the
theme of earth and sea, they are using the ila and the Sea Flora product lines. Meaning “earth” in Sanskrit, ila is said to reflect the power of nature as a source of wellness, utilizing organic, wild-harvested
plant and mineral incidents. The Sea Flora line is made from seaweed products harvested by hand in the Canadian Pacific Ocean. The new team of six massage therapists and two aestheticians has recently gone through extensive training with the new product lines, promising a great experience and updated treatments, Strong said. “These new treatments will be the heart of our upcoming three-day Winter Wellness Retreats which will be offered starting in January,” Strong said. The retreats not only include massages, as well as wellness and beauty treatments, but offer opportunities for guests to take Pilates or yoga classes at Island Pilates and Yoga in Langley with Leslie Larch or Amanda Murphy. Strong is also looking into recruiting locals to provide guests with services
such as nutritional consulting and people who may introduce guests to meditation and other holistic practices. With nearby destinations such as the Earth Sanctuary or the Whidbey Institute, as well as local parks and the beach, the Inn at Langley plans to offer a spa experience that can’t be duplicated elsewhere, Strong said. For locals and visitors of the inn alike, Strong hopes The Spa is a place where people find their center. “The goal is to have some place where people can connect as much or as little as they want,” she said, adding that preventative wellness becomes more and more an alternative to medical spa treatments. Customized packages fitting the needs of the guests are part of that. Strong said she hopes many Whidbey residents will come to check out the offerings at the spa. This month, the spa is running a special that gives locals 20 percent off treatments. The Spa gift certificates will also make for a great holiday gift, she added. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 221-3022 or email spa@innatlangley.com.

Cutting through the pain for Christmas cheer
WHIDBEY RECIPES
Margaret Walton
There are times when words fail, when there is no way to express the sorrow, emotions, confusion and yes, anger that comes with the full realization of man’s ability to destroy. I was at my computer,
working on a lighthearted, Christmas column for this week; the TV was on in the next room, and I heard the breaking news broadcast about the shooting at the Sandy Hook school in Newtown. There’s no need for me to reiterate what everyone now knows, but I hope readers will understand why I couldn’t return to the column I’d been doing, full of idle chit chat about Christmas and happy, fun-filled holiday celebrations. There has already been so much said, written and broadcast about the events of that black day and the people and parents of Newtown, anything I could say or write would be superfluous. And, as I said in the beginning, there simply are times when

words fail. This is one of those times. I can, however, at least give you the special holiday recipes I’d chosen for the column, because we who are left stunned, bewildered, angered and frightened over the events of the past week will undoubtedly continue with our holiday plans. But, if our celebrations include small children, there will almost certainly be mixed emotions as we watch their excitement opening presents and think, even momentarily, of those other children, and their families.
RECIPES Our family tradition dictates that, whatever else may show up for dessert at Christmas, there must be a steamed pudding. So many of my forebears originated in England, Scotland, Ireland and Iceland, it’s no surprise that I cannot recall a Christmas, ever, without steamed pudding, almost always plum pudding with hard sauce. Imagine what fun it was, as the years passed, to discover how many variations of steamed pudding there are, and what fun it is to surprise my families with a new version.

of the mold. Cover the pot; simmer 1 ½ hrs. A skewer inserted into the center of the pudding should come out clean. Remove pudding from water bath and uncover. Let cool in the mold for 10 min. before unmolding onto a plate. Cool completely, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 24 hrs. in the refrigerator. About an hour before final steaming (for dessert servings), remove pudding from ‘frig; discard plastic wrap. Set the plate with the pudding on a rack over simmering water; cover loosely with foil and steam 20 min., or until heated through. Whip the cream until it begins to thicken, then add powdered sugar and vanilla; continue beating until soft peaks form. Garnish each slice of pudding with whipped cream and a sprinkle of the remaining chopped ginger. Serves ten. Note: No matter which pudding recipe I use each year, I always make some traditional hard sauce to serve as desired, because often it’s the thing about Christmas pudding the little ones look forward to most.
TURTLE PUMPKIN PIE
Speaking of kid-pleasing dessert, how would you like a pumpkin pie recipe that is perfect for a last-minute “Help, I’m running of time” crowd pleaser. Just don’t tell anyone how you did it; they’ll never guess.
Because I have an aversion to marshmallows, due to childhood overdosing, I long ago gave up on the traditional sweet potato/marshmallow casserole present
¼ cup plus 2 T. caramel topping, divided (see instructions; I recommend Mrs. Richardson’s Butterscotch Caramel topping, to which I’m addicted) 1 ready-made Graham Cracker Pie Crust ½ cup plus 2 T. pecan pieces, divided 1 cup cold milk 2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) Vanilla Instant Pudding 1 cup canned pumpkin 1 t. ground cinnamon ½ t. ground nutmeg 1 tub (8 oz.) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed, divided Pour the ¼ cup caramel topping into the crust; sprinkle with the ½ cup pecans. Beat the milk, pudding mix, pumpkin and spices with a whisk until blended. Stir in 1 ½ cups of the whipped topping. Spread mixture into the crust. Refrigerate 1 hr. Top with remaining whipped topping, remaining caramel topping and pecans just before serving. Serves 10.

Religion Notes God’s gifts and Christmas carols Christmas is a time for giving, in order that we might celebrate the gift that God gave. Pastor Darrell Wenzek’s message this Sunday, Dec. 23, at the 10 a.m. service is titled, “The Gifts God Gives.” Old fashioned Christmas carols will be the music of the day. Stan Walker will lead an adult Bible study in the book of Genesis at 9 a.m. South Whidbey Community Church is an independent Bible Church that gathers to worship God, study His Word and encourage each other. Join them at the Deer Lagoon Grange Hall, 5142 Bayview Road, on the way to Langley. For more information call (360)221-1220.
Quakers meet in Freeland Whidbey Island Friends Meeting, also known as Whidbey Island Quakers, holds weekly worship services every Sunday from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist building, located at 20103 Highway 525 about two miles north of Freeland. This time of silent worship together may include spoken messages or sharing of spiritual journeys. On the first Sunday of each month, an additional time of singing at 3:30 p.m. precedes the worship service. As Margaret Fell, a 17th century Quaker wrote: “We are a people that follow after those things that make for peace, love, and unity; it is our desire that others’ feet may walk in the same.” For more information, visit www.whidbey quakers.org or email Toni Grove at tgrove@whidbey. com.
Talk addresses light, darkness “Season of Darkness, Season of Light,” is the talk by Dennis Reynolds at the Sunday, Dec. 23, 10 a.m. service of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island. This is the season of long nights and short days. It is the time when we cre-
ate festivals and celebrations that kindle light in our homes and in our hearts. We strive to push back the darkness, yet perhaps the darkness offers its own gifts.
Lifted on a wave of love In addition to the holiday gatherings of family and friends and traditional celebrations, Unity of Whidbey members make themselves available to be lifted up on a wave of love and light as never before. Celebrating the Christ presence born again in our hearts, Rev. Joanna Gabriel will explore how we can use the power and significance of this sacred time to begin the spiritual journey anew. The service is at 10 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 23. All are invited to join their Christmas Eve Candlelighting Service at 5 p.m. Dec. 24. All are welcome. Visit Unity of Whidbey’s website: www.unityofwhidbey island.org.

Details emerge on man who killed grandfathers BY JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter Suspected double-murderer Joshua Lambert led detective to a hidden shotgun for $50 and offered to write a confession for another $50 and a cup of coffee. Those details are included in a Motion in Support of Admission of Defendant’s Statements that Island County
Prosecutor Greg Banks filed in Superior Court last week. He’s asking the judge to allow him to present at trial a number of allegedly incriminating and unusual statements made by Lambert. Lambert, a 31-year-old homeless Oak Harbor man, is facing two counts of firstdegree murder and one count of kidnapping for allegedly murdering his two grandfathers and tying up his great-
aunt in October of 2011. He is acting as his own attorney and is claiming he’s not guilty by reason of insanity. His trial is set for March 12. On Dec. 21, 2011, Lambert sent a letter from his jail cell to Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. He suggested he may know the whereabouts of a sawed-off shotgun missing from the home of one of the victims. He offered to pro-
vide information in exchange for $50, Banks wrote in the motion. Lambert drew a map to help the detectives find the gun. The next day, the detectives brought Lambert to the wooded area in Oak Harbor to help look for the gun. They eventually found it nearby and Lambert got his money. A month later, Lambert sent another unsolicited letter to Wallace, offering
Joshua Lambert to provide “a written confession to the 2 murders for $50.00 and a cup of coffee and maybe another folder like the one that the discovery came in, but the folder is negotiable,” Lambert’s letter states. He sent another letter the next day offering to testify in court that he committed the alleged homicides for an additional $50, the motion states. A few weeks later, Lambert provided the prosecution with a five-page, hand-written confession. Wallace said Lambert got the money and a cup of coffee.
In addition, Banks wrote that he plans to present statements that Lambert allegedly made to an Oak Harbor police detective and the jail chief. After the Oak Harbor police arrested him in the middle of N. Oak Harbor Street Oct. 3, 2011, a detective asked him whether he had any weapons, needles or anything sharp on him. Lambert allegedly stated that he had some needles, but that he believes he dropped or lost “the knife,” Banks wrote. A few weeks later, Lambert allegedly told the jail chief that he had “killed people,” the motion states.
