Report: Killing was calculated ‘hit’ over $400 impound fee

By JESSIE STENSLAND jessie@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Investigators and many in the Oak Harbor community are struggling to understand how — and why — four young people could have been involved in the murder of a teenage boy last week.

The alleged shooter, Brian Rayford, 20, “carried out a hit” against John JOHNSON “Jay” Johnson, 17, because his friend was upset over a $400 impound fee, according Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

“The catalyst does seem to be the tow fee,” Wallace said, admitting that detectives are as SEE TARGETED, A10

Man jumps from bridge Sunday

By JESSIE STENSLAND jessie@whidbeynewsgroup.com

A 75-year-old Coupeville man died after jumping from Deception Pass Bridge Sunday afternoon, according to Island County Coroner Robert Bishop.

Ralph McCloud stopped his car in the middle of the bridge, turned on his car’s hazard lights and got out. He walked to the west side of the bridge and jumped into the swirling water below, according to the coroner.

McCloud left a note in his vehicle, which was impounded by the Washington State Patrol.

Several people, including other drivers, witnessed McCloud jump off the bridge. The incident was reported to police at 3:20 p.m.

McCloud’s body was recovered from the water about an hour later.

McCloud was part-owner of a small Coupeville bed-and-breakfast called Aerie on Penn Cove.

mma Wezeman loves Cheerios — not honey nut, not multi-grain — the original.

Her favorite snack and her talent have propelled her into the national spotlight.

The Oak Harbor High School sophomore caught the attention of corporate heavyweight General Mills, after she created a photography web log that features the “Os.”

Wezeman, 15, started an Instagram account called Travels_with_ Cheerios in September after a camping trip on the island with her cousins. She was chomping on the cereal and goofing around with her camera.

What she produced is serious work.

“I’ve always liked photography,” she said. “I can’t paint to save my life. But this isn’t about you, it’s about nature.”

She places the cereal in unusual places and photographs the SEE CHEERIOS ART, A14

County approves $1 million to conserve Fakkema Farm

By DAN RICHMAN

drichman@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Much of the Fakkema Farm, 377 acres of forest and high-grade farmland on north Whidbey Island, could be preserved through up to $1 million in Conservation Futures Fund easements under an enthusiastic, unanimous vote Monday by the Board of Island County Commissioners.

Whether the property remains inviolate depends on whether its owners, brothers Hap and Richard Fakkema, decide to accept the money in exchange for giving up timbering and intensive-development rights to part of the land.

The brothers have filed for a logging permit.

“It’s still up to them,” said Whidbey Camano Land Trust Executive Director Pat Powell after the vote. The Land Trust led the effort to conserve the farm, which stretches from Oak Harbor’s city limits west to Swan Lake.

Hap did not return a call seeking comment. Richard couldn’t be reached for comment.

That obstacle didn’t stop the commissioners from celebrating their vote.

“For me, this is one of those moments that makes being a county commissioner worthwhile,” Jill Johnson said.

“This hits all the marks for an ideal conservation project,” Helen Price Johnson added.

The entire treeline in this image would be eliminated if the Fakkemas choose to log their farm rather than accept a conservation easement just approved by the county commissioners.

The easement will protect about 300 acres.

Even if the Fakkemas accept the deal, a few acres — the number and location yet to be determined — will be excluded from conservation for low-density development. The exact amount the Conservation Futures Fund will expend toward the easement depends on how many acres are excluded.

An additional $3 million toward the easement is expected to come from the Navy and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Half the CFF funding will be paid this year and the other half in 2016.

In total, the easement could be worth up to $3.5 million to the brothers.

Fakkema Farm is “the key-

stone property to protect on north Whidbey Island,” the Land Trust wrote in a detailed document.

The land is “extremely important” for protecting both surface and groundwater resources.

Medium- to large-scale development there, or clearing the forest, would “severely impact” the farm’s ability to filter and improve surfacewater quality as it flows into adjacent Swan Lake, according to the Land Trust.

The forest is the largest expanse under single, private ownership in the vicinity, and the property as a whole is “one of the island’s largest and most important farmland holdings, a vital wildlife corridor both east to west and north to south,” the Land Trust wrote.

It is, in short, “a precious gold mine,” said former county commissioner Angie Homola during a recent visit to the property.

The easement allows for a trail stretching along the property’s entire northern boundary, from western Oak Harbor to West Beach Road, though the trail’s creation has not been funded. The easement precludes logging the property and building as many as 63 home sites, both of which the Land Trust said are likely to occur if the Fakkemas do not accept the easement.

The Fakkema brothers have clearly not abandoned the idea of logging the property. On Sept. 21, their engineering firm asked the county in a letter to grant them an indefinite extension on furnishing details about their July 31 loggingpermit application.

The extension, they said, would give them time to have their land appraised — a necessary step before accepting the conservation easement — and “would allow [them] to make a more informed decision on how to move forward with this application.”

Former Planning Director Dave Wechner on Sept. 23, by email, approved an extension of indefinite length, said Public Works Development Coordinator Bill Poss.

The commissioners on Monday also approved three other CFFfunded acquisitions or projects: ■ A Land Trust-backed bid for

MS 271 FARM BOSS®

$

$165,000 toward protecting from development 30 acres of productive farmland along Lone Lake’s south shoreline. The properties to be purchased make up an important northsouth corridor between Lone Lake and Deer Lagoon, the Land Trust said.

■ Island County’s Parks and Recreation Department’s bid for $85,000 to protect 4.8 acres adjacent to the Island County Parks property of Camano Ridge, on Camano Island. This is known as the Dillon property.

■ A request by the county’s noxious weed control board for $37,900 to suppress weeds in 2016 and 2017 at Camano Island’s Iverson Preserve. Weeds to be controlled on the property, which was bought in 1999 with CFF money and thus must be maintained in the same manner, include Scotch Broom, Canadian thistle, bull thistle and poison hemlock.

The commissioners postponed until Dec. 9 further discussion on the Land Trust’s bid for $30,000 toward keeping open for agricultural and open-space use two properties, totaling 56 acres, on the north side of Dugualla Lake, northeast of Oak Harbor.

The land includes or is adjacent to working farmland, a freshwater lake and critically important habitat.

The Navy may contribute toward the purchase because it wants to remove development rights to the area, which lies just east of a major runway at Ault Field.

Yoga instructor with Parkinson’s is helping people with disability

By DAN RICHMAN

drichman@whidbeynewsgroup.com

There’s a new yoga teacher in town, and she specializes in movement for people with disabilities. Renee Le Verrier, 54, has Parkinson’s disease and literally wrote the book on yoga for movement disorders.

“Yoga can build strength, increase flexibility and help with balance for everyone,” said the Oak Harbor resident. “With illness or injury, it becomes that much more essential. It can counter the weakening, stiffness and imbalance of disease.”

Le Verrier teaches yoga classes designed for those with Parkinson’s, MS, lupus, fibromyalgia or stroke recovery. Blending modifications with the use of physical supports, the classes convene on Mondays from 1:30 to 2:45 p.m. at the Lotus Tea Bar &

Custom Engraving

Studio in Oak Harbor.

The initial class is free; subsequent classes are $8 each.

“It’s definitely not a getrich-quick scheme,” she said.

She donates most proceeds to disease-research organizations. Her husband works as a computer engineer.

Le Verrier moved to Whidbey Island in September from the East Coast, along with her husband and 13-year-old son.

She said she came mainly for the weather.

“With Parkinson’s, exercise is important for keeping symptoms at bay, and the snow out East kept me inside,” she said. “I like all four seasons, and Whidbey seems ideal.”

Before relocating here, she taught in a Parkinson’s program at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 2012 she published “Yoga for Movement Disorders,” a 129page spiral-bound manual that one clinical reviewer called “a clear, illustrated text.”

pany now owns more than 51,000 homes, it said in the press release.

Forest City owns and manages 1,499 houses serving NAS Whidbey, base spokesperson Tony Popp said Monday.

Popp said the base does not expect any changes as a result of the sale.

“The services provided to you today and rent allotment process will not change, so there will be no interruption or inconvenience to you,” the companies pledged in a Nov. 13 letter sent to Forest City tenants.

Chamber: Increased ferry use a boon for island businesses Ridership on the two ferry lines serving Whidbey Island is steadily increasing, meaning that more tourists are coming to the island and that islanders are finding jobs on the mainland, said Chet Ross, president of the Greater Freeland Chamber of Commerce.

Annual ridership in 2014 on the Mukilteo-Clinton

route increased by 1 percent, to 3,949,636 passengers, over the prior year, according to the chamber.

The Freeland chamber cited figures provided by the Washington State Ferries.

Ridership on the Coupeville-Port Townsend route increased by 6 percent, to 723,045, during the same period.

Hearing on tax increase set for Dec. 7 The public can weigh in on proposed property tax increases during public hearings set for 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 7.

In 2016, the county wants to collect an additional $20,107 over this year’s take, spread among the entire base of Island County property taxpayers, in its currentexpense levy. That represents a 0.25 percent increase over this year’s current-expense tax levy.

The county wants an additional $83,948 for its road levy and an additional $6,916 toward the Conservation Futures Fund. Each of those numbers represents a one percent increase over this year’s tax. In addition to

those amounts, the county plans to collect tax on new construction.

The meeting will be held in the Commissioners Hearing Room, located downstairs in the Courthouse Annex Building, Room B102, 1 NE 6th Street in Coupeville.

The income levels determining senior and disabled exemptions from property tax for 2016 changed with the passage of SB 5186, but those eligible for the exemption will automatically be placed into the appropriate level, the county’s assessor said in a press release. For more information, visit www. islandcountyassessor.com/exemptions/ seniordisabled-exemption/

Award given posthumously to Larry Cort Former Langley planner Larry Cort, who died Oct. 28 at his Coupeville home after a yearlong diagnosis of brain cancer, was issued a posthumous Mayor’s Excellence Award by Mayor Fred McCarthy during Monday night’s city council meeting.

The ritual would have been familiar to Cort, who spent most of his career as a

planner on Whidbey Island.

Cort was Coupeville’s town planner for years, then served as the planning director of Langley for about four years from 2006-2010, taking a brief jaunt as a senior planner in Maple Valley in 2007 before returning to Langley in 2008.

He then went to Oak Harbor as a project special-

ist before becoming the city administrator.

“He was always a gentleman the times I worked with him,” McCarthy said. “Even in contentious issues, he took the high road.”

The pin and certificate, said McCarthy, will be presented to his wife, Lisbeth Cort, at a memorial service in December.

IN OUR OPINION Giving Larsen kudos for connection with district We don’t often give career politicians a pat on the back, but we must give credit where credit is due.

Congressman Rick Larsen recently held a series of public meetings on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the last of which was in little old Clinton — a tiny corner of his Second Congressional District.

By themselves, a few town hall meetings are nothing to get worked up about. Elected officials are supposed to ask what we think. But Larsen has become something of a regular visitor to Whidbey Island.

According to Larsen’s office, during the past three years alone, he’s met with constituents, visited businesses or organizations, vetted proposed policy or checked in with voters at in-person meetings or town halls a total of 23 times.

While one may not agree with all of his positions, and his say-it-like-is demeanor takes getting used to, when it comes to being accessible to constituents, a pat on the back is well deserved.

The Second District, which Larsen has represented since 2001, includes all of Island and San Juan counties, along with a swath of the Interstate 5 corridor stretching from Everett to Bellingham.

In all, approximately 650,000 people live within the district’s boundaries.

Larsen is one of Washington state’s 10 congressional representatives. The district also has two senators.

Do you remember the last time Sen. Patty Murray or Sen. Maria Cantwell visited Whidbey Island? Gov. Jay Inslee has a better track record, at least since his election.

Our 10th District state lawmakers have done better. Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor; Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton; and Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano, typically hold in-person or tele-town hall meetings every year, usually in February and March. They’ve likely made other appearances on Whidbey that we’re not aware of and deserve credit.

Nobody does as good a job of tromping their district than Larsen.

One could chalk up it up to the fact that members of Congress serve two-year terms — the same is true for state representatives — making it vitally important that they check in regularly with voters, but such arguments carry little weight in our opinion. What matters is that he shows up.

All lawmakers, be they state or congressional, lead busy lives, but Larsen makes it a priority to connect with those he represents.

For that, he earns kudos.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tax mail

Rally

Volunteers helped expedite processing

Asking world leaders for climate justice

Editor, A resounding thank you to the group of volunteers that assisted our office by processing tax mail in 2015.

Your generosity in donating your time to help us open mail in April, May, October, and November allowed us to complete our processing by a few days after the payment deadlines.

Your labor created efficiencies by allowing Treasurer’s Office staff to post payments faster, and deposit money in the bank sooner.

Thank each of you for returning year after year to spend time with us, trade stories, and for allowing us to honor you with an appreciation breakfast: Bob and Beulah Whitlow, Maddie Rose, Margaret Vasquez, Lionel Peoples, Janet Ballard, Jean Salls, Carrie Merkley, Maggie Packzkowski, Elisa Rabine, Janet Gardner, Pamela Kaiser, and in memoriam, Betty Gewald.

Editor, We hope you can join us at 12:15 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 29 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland for the Whidbey/Paris Global Climate Rally.

The degradation of creation and its impacts are a moral crisis, which is why the Greening Congregations of Whidbey are having a rally in solidarity with people all over the planet.

Millions will be joining their voices in a plea to the world and its leaders for climate justice prior to the U.N. Climate talks convening in Paris on Nov. 20.

It is critical that meaningful action be taken there.

We share the same planet. A planet whose life support system, vitality of its land and ocean, are threatened by human activity.

All major religions, including the 80 represented at the recent Parliament of Religions in Salt Lake City, are agreed with the Rev. Billy Graham that, “The growing possibil-

ity of our destroying ourselves and the world with our own neglect and excess is tragic and very real.”

As Pope Francis said, “The work of the Church seeks not only to remind everyone of the duty to care for nature, but at the same time she must above all protect mankind from self-destruction … it seems to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation. When it comes to protecting our common home, we are living at a critical moment in history.”

One way to “protect our common home” is by taking Interfaith Power and Light’s Paris Pledge. You will find it on their website.

The Greening Congregations of Whidbey includes St. Hubert’s Catholic Church, St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods Episcopal, Trinity Lutheran, Langley United Methodist, Whidbey Quakers, Unity of Whidbey and the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island.

Littering

Don’t treat the highway as your personal dump Editor, Nobody likes to see trash strewn along our scenic roadways on Whidbey.

Often it’s unintentional.

Someone, however, has decided that it’s OK for them to dispose of their personal garbage along the highway.

I’m referring to a section of State Highway 525 between Cox Drive and Houston Road. Someone is tossing neatly tied shopping bags full of personal garbage out, primarily on the northbound side.

As a daily commuter, I watched the bags accumulating and decided that I could no longer pass by without taking action. I have stopped three times now and gathered more than six full trash bags of this person’s garbage.

Yet, it continues. You can tell a lot from one’s garbage.

This person fancies Fresca soda, as nearly each bag has empty cans, and they shop at Safeway and Red Apple.

This is completely inexcusable and is a direct insult to all of us who call Whidbey home.

I have asked for assistance from the sheriff’s office and was told that it’s not a priority for them. If anyone reading this thinks they know the culprit, please tell them to stop immediately.

Christian Reformed Church and it was there that he met a young woman, Henrietta (Etta) Balda. They were married on Sept. 2, 1952, and celebrated 62 years of marriage prior to Etta’s passing earlier this year on Jan. 14, 2015.

Elmer served in the army during the Korean War and then worked for Western Farmers Co-op delivering fuel oil until he retired at the age of 55.

Elmer was busy in retirement. He enjoyed doing custom field mowing for customers up and down Whidbey Island. Elmer was often seen with his tractor and mower loaded on the trailer behind his latest model of pick-up truck, headed to his job for the day.

Elmer and Etta enjoyed traveling. They took trips to Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand, and cruised through the Panama Canal. They also enjoyed being “snowbirds” and taking their RV to the southern United States in the winter for more than 20 years.

TARGETED CONTINUED FROM A1 baffled as anyone by the apparent senselessness of the crime.

Detectives arrested Rayford, David Nunez Jr., 19, and Kitana Hernandez, 19, Friday afternoon.

The fourth suspect, Derek Reeder, 16, was arrested that night.

None of the four suspects has a felony criminal history or a history of violence. They all went to Oak Harbor schools; Reeder is a junior at Oak Harbor High School. Their Facebook pages are filled with “selfies,” photos of family and friends, and posts from friends; it all appears to be typical for young adults.

There’s little indication of fights, threats or crime in those pages.

In a telephonic hearing Saturday, the judge found probable cause to hold all four suspects on suspicion of first-degree murder. The judge ordered Rayford and Nunez be held without bail. Hernandez and Reeder were ordered held on $500,000 bail each.

Johnson died at Harborview Medical Center Friday morning as a result of the gunshot wound to

the head, according to the police report. Johnson — a blond-haired, handsome teenager — went to school in Oak Harbor and had a network of friends and family in the community.

A family friend set up a GoFundMe page to help Johnson’s grandmother with medical and final expenses.

“The world lost the coolest kid on earth on Nov. 13, 2015, when 17-year-old John “Jay” Skylar Johnson was murdered in his home by people he thought were his friends,” the page states.

“Four offenders have been apprehended, and justice will be swift.

“Jay will be best remembered by his quick wit, his compassion for life, and a love for his family and friends. Jay had a way with words; he could uplift anyone around him with his compassionate words and empathy for others.”

Kelly Tormey, spokesperson for the Oak Harbor school district, said counselors were available Monday for students having trouble dealing with the tragedy.

She said things seemed to be pretty calm at the high

school Tuesday.

Early in the morning of Nov. 11, a friend of the Johnson family called 911 after finding the young man unconscious and bleeding

at his home on West Green Valley Road on North Whidbey.

Johnson was taken to the hospital, where doctors discovered he had a gunshot wound to the head.

Detective Ed Wallace was called in to investigate.

Johnson was airlifted to Harbor view, but never regained consciousness.

Detectives could not find a gun at Johnson’s home.

The young man’s 15-yearold girlfriend contacted detectives and explained that she had been video chatting with him just prior to the shooting on the night of Nov. 10. They were interrupted by a knock at the door.

that Nunez was upset with Johnson over an impound fee. Johnson had borrowed his car and it was impounded by the Washington State Patrol.

Rayford, Nunez and Reeder hatched a plan to either beat or shoot Johnson, Wallace wrote.

Reeder kept asking Rayford to let him “do it” but Rayford kept possession of the gun, the report indicates.

After his arrest, Rayford admitted to shooting Johnson.

Wallace’s report indicates that Hernandez drove Rayford, Reeder and Nunez to Johnson’s house; Rayford and Reeder walked up to the house together. After speaking with Johnson briefly at the front door, Rayford pulled a .22-caliber handgun “out of the pocket of his hoodie, pointed the

gun at Johnson, closed his eyes, turned his head and pulled the trigger,” Wallace wrote.

Rayford didn’t see where he shot Johnson because he and Reeder ran back to the car, the report states.

Nunez and Hernandez later threw the gun into the water, Wallace wrote.

In an interview with the detective, Reeder allegedly admitted that he was in the car on the night of the shooting but claimed that Rayford went to the house alone, came back and said “it’s done.”

Wallace wrote that Nunez sanctioned the “hit” and poses a threat to witnesses because he demanded in texts that they remain silent and referred to them as “loose ends,” the report states.

“The Island County detectives did an amazing job of swiftly solving the case, locating all four defendants and taking them into custody without incident,” Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said.

“The safety of the witnesses who informed on the alleged perpetrators was a paramount concern for us.”

Banks said prosecutors were also shocked that “some chippy dispute” over an impound fee could result in murder. He pointed out that Hernandez has no criminal history and Nunez has only a misdemeanor history with such minor

crimes as trespassing in the windmill at Windjammer Park.

Rayford was in juvenile drug court two years ago but was kicked out after he allegedly led police in Kittitas County on a chase in a stolen car and a stolen gun was found in the car, according to the prosecutor.

His record, however, doesn’t show any convictions in that county.

Reeder recently entered juvenile drug court; he had faced theft and minor in possession charges, according to the prosecutor’s office.

The victim and the suspects all went to Oak Harbor schools.

Tormey said Johnson was at the high school last year; he was doing an online program through the Coupeville School District this year, according to a school official.

Nunez graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 2014; Hernandez graduated in 2015.

Rayford went through the 10th grade, according to Tormey.

Banks said he will charge the suspects today.

If charged with murder, Reeder, a minor, will be charged as an adult in Island County Superior Court, he indicated.

With the current evidence, the murder is not a death-penalty-eligible case, Banks said.

STRAIGHT TO THE HEART

Building relationships key to Brasch’s coaching success

By JIM WALLER

Her success as a coach landed her in the Northwest Nazarene University Athletic Hall of Fame; her compassion for her players landed her in the hearts of those she coached.

Brasch, who retired in 2011, coached volleyball at NNU from 1989-2000 and served as associate athletic director from 1998-2007.

She held a variety of other administrative and teaching positions while at NNU, and returned as an assistant volleyball coach for seven seasons after stepping down from the head job.

Here’s a quick look at what she accomplished as the head coach of the Crusaders: Most wins by an NNU volleyball coach, 264.

Conference titles in 1981, and, at one point, the Wildcats won 84 straight league matches.

Her teams won six district championships and earned six state tournament berths, placing fifth at state in 1988.

She finished with a 15761 10-year record at OHHS; 130-28 over the final seven seasons.

Oak Harbor failed to win the Wesco crown in 1985 when Brasch went on a sabbatical to earn her masters degree in counseling.

The Everett Herald dubbed Brasch “The Wizard of Whidbey” while naming her the All-Area Volleyball Coach of the Year in 1984. She was selected as the Western Conference Coach of the Year in 1984 and 1986.

In 1988, she coached the Western Washington team in the all-state series featuring the state’s top players.

At Brasch’s induction to the NNU Hall of Fame, several letters from former players were read, all noting that it was the relationships that Brasch developed with her players that are remembered today long after the wins have faded.

Brasch’s impact while in Oak Harbor was similar.

Tawyna (Richard) Brewer, winner of multiple state titles while coaching at BurlingtonEdison High School, played for Brasch at OHHS. “Darlene probably had the single most impact on me personally and professionally,” Brewer said by email.

Brasch by the numbers at Northwest Nazarene University 264 coaching wins, most in NNU volleyball history 3 Cascade Conference championships 4 national NAIA tournament berths 2 top-four national finishes 2 Cascade Conference Coach of the Year Awards

at Oak Harbor High School 7 consecutive Western Conference championships 84 consecutive wins in conference 6 Northwest District championships 6 state tournament berths 2 Western Conference Coach of the Year Awards “She is the reason that I chose coaching and teaching because she taught us so much about caring about one another, how to be a great teammate and, most importantly, to have high moral standards.

“Throughout my career I have used much of what she has taught me with my own teams. She made me love volleyball, and to this day I am forever grateful for the wonderful opportunity she gave me and the powerful influence she had on me. The relationships we formed with our teams during those highschool years are still present to this day.”

Pape leads Wildcats at state swim meet Sophomore Jillian Pape’s 13th place in the 50-yard freestyle led the Oak Harbor High School swim team’s effort at the state 3A meet at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way Nov. 13 and 14.

Pape swam the 50 in 25.35 and added a 20th in the 100 butterfly in 1:02.01.

Pape also competed on two relay teams that finished 22nd.

and Erica Sugatan in the 200 medley relay (1:59.78); and Mariel Empinado, Black and Sugatan in the 200 free relay (1:49.14).

Black was the only other Wildcat to swim in an individual event, placing 21st in the 100 breaststroke (1:12.06). The sophomore also finished 21st last year (1:13.98).

Senior Marissa Morris qualified for the meet, the fourth in her career, but was unable to compete because of family obligations.

Brasch said, “Thinking of my years as a teacher and volleyball coach in Oak Harbor brings tears to my eyes realizing how truly blessed I was to coach so many wonderful young ladies. It was a joy to be a part of such a supportive community, parents and fans.”

Her goal was to win, she said, but, more importantly, that her players enjoyed volleyball and each other and left the program as “better individuals — athletically, academically and spiritually.”

“My greatest joy is the relationships I developed with my players and am thankful for Facebook where I have the privilege of continuing to stay in touch with so many of them,” Brasch said.

“It makes me proud to see former players become successful coaches who carry on the tradition of winning due to the philosophy of putting the emphasis on caring, trusting and having confidence in each other ---- including their coaches ---- which brings about the wins and championships.”

Sarungano members Leslie Breeden, Dana Moffett, Dyanne Harshman and Donita Crosby rehearse recently on the marimbas. The South Whidbey band that specializes in African instruments visited Zimbabwe in April to perform and donate instruments in a country where traditional customs are being restored.

Bringing back the beat South Whidbey band aids in restoring music to country stripped of its customs

By BEN WATANABE Whidbey News Group

The storytellers of Sarungano have quite the tale to tell.

Dana Moffett, Leslie Breeden, Donita Crosby and Dyanne Harshman went to Zimbabwe earlier this year, largely thanks to donations and fundraising on South Whidbey, to perform with the African country’s traditional instruments and donate several to an orphanage.

They have become ambassadors of music, trying to aid in the restoration of a custom stripped from the land’s native people.

“It is important for them to have the music and their traditional music,” Moffett said.

Under colonial rule, many of the native customs and traditions, including the music, was outlawed.

Slowly it is being restored, but in a country with high unemployment, spending money on music is not a top priority.

That’s where the women of Sarungano — a Shona word for sto-

ryteller — filled a gap in April. About $1,800 was raised through donations prior to their trip, and all of that was spent securing instruments and lessons.

Inside Moffett’s studio, the band keeps a poster made by the children from the Child Future Africa orphanage and music school that received the instruments and music lessons.

There are several pictures on it below the word, “Tatenda!,” which is Shona for “Thank you!”

That spirit of thanksgiving is what Sarungano wanted to extend to the people who made it happen at an event last weekend. Sarungano put on a presentation of slideshows and stories Saturday at Black Box Theater in Langley as a show of appreciation for what was accomplished through South Whidbey’s goodwill.

Two different instruments were donated to the orphanage: mbiras and marimbas. Mbiras, sometimes called “thumb pianos,” are made of a wooden board with attached metal

The marimba is like a xylophone.

Sarungano purchased eight handmade mbiras from a musician they knew in Zimbabwe. All of them were donated to children in an orphanage, and instruction from professional musician Jacob Mafuleni was covered by the funds.

Lessons cost about $100 per month, and the mbiras were $75

each. In the United States, an mbira can cost as much as $350. The South Whidbey women said they hope to continue financing lessons and purchasing instruments for the orphanage and music school.

“We’re hoping it can be an ongoing project,” Moffett said.

During the two-week trip, the women performed at a wedding and toured schools and the capital city of Harare.

Moffett, who teaches mbira and marimba from her home studio outside of Langley, said it was a surreal experience to perform in front of the people who inspired and taught her.

That experience was shared by her fellow Sarunganoans.

“There were people who couldn’t believe there were four middle-age white women who could sing in Shona,” said Breeden, who made her first trip to the mbira’s homeland.

Added Crosby: “We’ve been told it’s an inspiration to them to have a group of women playing their traditional music.”

She used the hashtag #cheerios and that caught the attention of Kevin Hunt, who manages social media for General Mills, based in Minneapolis.

South Whidbey woman, 71, pleads not guilty to killing sister

By JUSTIN BURNETT

jburnett@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Clinton resident Linda Thomas has pleaded not guilty in a California court to murder and other charges for the slaying of her sister last month.

Thomas, 71, appeared in Richmond Superior Court Tuesday morning facing a slew of charges, including murder with three special enhancements, attempted murder and two counts of elder abuse.

She waived her right to a speedy trial and entered not guilty pleas to all the charges, according to the Contra Costa Times.

The newspaper also reported that, although Thomas is eligible for the death penalty under California law, prosecutors will not seek it.

Calls to Deputy District Attorney Rachel Piersig, the state’s prosecutor in the case, and Wayne Anderson, the

public defender serving as Thomas’ legal counsel, were not returned by press time.

The longtime South Whidbey woman is accused of shooting her sister, Zonna Thomas, 69, just after midnight on Oct. 17.

Court documents say she traveled to her sister’s home in Rodeo, a small city in the San Francisco Bay Area, the day before, and may have also planned to kill herself.

Among her belongings were ammunition for the .38 caliber handgun used in the killing, zip ties, duct tape and laminated instructions for her burial wishes.

The Record has confirmed that Linda Thomas came into the newspaper’s Freeland office in September to submit and prepay for her own obituary. She left instructions not to run the obituary until notified by a funeral home of her death.
