Obama visits Boeing’s 787 factory line President touts Dreamliner as success story

INSIDE: Thirty years, Island Life, A10

Officials will look at fire levy

BY Brian Kelly South Whidbey Record

EVERETT — He touched down with the pride of the past. Then he soared with the Boeing Company’s faith for the future. In the first visit by a president to the Puget Sound in almost two decades, President Barack Obama toured Boeing’s aircraft assembly plant in Everett to push his plan for investments in American manufacturing and jobs and point to the 787 Dreamliner as a symbol of such success. Standing at the end of the assembly line in the 4026 Building, with a Dreamliner built for United Airlines to his right and two more 787s behind him, Obama recalled his trip to Washington state aboard Air Force One, built in Everett 25 years ago. “It’s flying smooth,” Obama said, adding that he met a Boeing worker during an earlier tour who helped build the airplane and thanked him for a job well-done. “But as wonderful as it is to fly Air Force One — and it is wonderful — it’s hard not to be amazed by the Dreamliner,” he said. With a blue banner hanging behind him reading “An America Built To Last,” Obama touted the benefits of the Dreamliner to a crowd of more than 1,000 airplane workers, Democratic Party members and other dignitaries. “This is the first commercial airplane to be made with 50 percent composite materials. It’s lighter, it’s faster, it’s more fuel-efficient than any airplane in its class. And it looks cool,” Obama said. “The Dreamliner is the plane of the future. And by building it here, Boeing is taking advantage of a huge opportunity that exists right now to bring more jobs and manufacturing back to the United States of America,” he said. The president’s praise found an appreciative audience. And as Boeing goes, so goes Island County. With more than 1,000 of its employees calling home on the island side of the water, Boeing is the largest private employer in Island County. The number of Boeing employees in the county rose from 975 to 1,081 in the past year, according to the Island County Economic Development Council, and the airplane manufacturer has a workforce much larger than the county’s second largest private employer, Walmart, which has 210.

pointed to the jobs that the 787 Dreamliner and the company’s other airplanes would create in Everett and beyond. Albaugh said production will be increased by 40 percent over the next three years. “Every airplane that we sell means jobs here. Here at the Boeing Co. we hired 13,000 new employees just in the last year. And our supply chain supports 250,000 jobs in the United States,” he said. Albaugh also noted that Boeing delivered two brand-new airplanes last year; the 787 Dreamliner and 747-8, the “Queen of the Skies.” “While we were at it, we delivered 477 total airplanes and we

Money and time are running out for South Whidbey Fire/EMS. Fire commissioners will hear their options for a possible property tax levy from Fire Chief Rusty Palmer on Thursday, Feb. 23. “We need to talk about the potential, whether we’re going to go out or not,” Palmer said. “This is just the first step in us getting serious in the discussion.” South Whidbey’s fire district is funded by property taxes. But as property values have sputtered with the economy, the fire department’s Fire officials revenue stream has fallen, too, by about will hear about a levy increase at $200,000.

Where we’re suffering is the operations piece. If we go to $5-a-gallon gas, that’s going to affect us immensely.” The district has considered a levy lift since fall of 2011, when the money problems became apparent. Since then, Palmer has reviewed the options for a levy and hired a public affairs consultant. Costs of the potential levy are still up in the air. The meeting at 4:30 p.m. Thursday will be the first look commissioners have at the choices. “That will be the opportunity to lay out the specific numbers,” Palmer said. “We haven’t decided on a number yet.” The recent success of the levy for Central Whidbey Fire-Rescue did not factor into South Whidbey’s plan, Palmer said, to renew talks about a potential levy.

Kortlever was one of four new officers elected to the board of directors at the foundation’s January meeting. Rose Olson of Camano Island is the newly elected president. She served the past two years as vice president, and treasurer previous to that. Caryl Thorp of Marysville is the new vice president, and Marisa Clayton of Edmonds is the new treasurer. “I’m very excited to be moving forward with this dedicated group of board members,” said Angelique Leone, executive director of the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation. “Each one brings their unique experience and insight and a commitment to enriching the library experience.” The foundation was created in 2000 to raise private funds to enhance the SnoIsle Libraries in Island and Snohomish counties.

notable Foundation receives much-valued grants The Readiness to Learn Foundation has received three gifts totaling $18,000 in the past month. Officials with the nonprofit said the donations will support the Families in Transition program and will provide needed services to homeless children and families in Island County. According to a foundation estimate, there are nearly 1,000 homeless children in the county who need improved access to available educational resources. The foundation received a $3,000 grant from Puget Sound Energy, a $5,000 gift from the Charis Foundation, and a $10,000 grant from the Elizabeth George Foundation. Families in Transition, a grassroots program, last year helped 453 homeless students whose families were experiencing “homeless circumstances,” said foundation executive director Gail LaVassar. “With the help of grants such as these, the Families in Transition program helped students make strides in attendance, homework completion, academic scores and graduation rates,” LaVassar said.

Mayor honors BBBS with proclamations The city of Langley recognized the mentors of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County during a recent city council meeting. The reading of proclamations has become an island tradition during National Mentor Appreciation Month in January.

Family support specialist Marilynn Norby recently met with Walt Blackford, community services manager for Puget Sound Energy, to acknowledge a $3,000 grant from the company in support of the Families in Transition program on Whidbey and Camano islands.

“This new infusion of funds will go a long way toward ensuring that Families in Transition continues its important work.” LaVassar said evaluators found that the students in supported families not

weeks locally. “National Mentor Appreciation Month is an opportunity for us and the community to thank our volunteers for their extraordinary dedication,” said Peggy Dyer, long-time executive director of the organization. “We now have matches that have been together for 10 and 11 years. The Bigs have stuck with their Littles through good times and bad for more than a decade in some cases. These dedicated volunteers are changing our community through their actions in very positive ways,” she added. Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick, who has been a

longtime supporter of the organization, said that the city recognizes the individuals who dedicate themselves to serving as mentors and make a difference in the lives of young South Whidbey residents. During the council meeting, Kwarsick talked about the work that Big Brothers Big Sisters has been doing on South Whidbey for the past 13 years and the impact on its youth. Carol McNeil, Langley’s new first lady, was a longtime board member of the organization. In the proclamation, Kwarsick called on the people of South Whidbey to recognize the importance of mentor-

ing and to serve as mentors in their community. BBBS board members Walt Blackford and Kelly TurnerGibson accepted the honor on behalf of the South Whidbey volunteers who are currently matched. Island-wide Big Brothers Big Sisters served more than 235 children in the past year. “The past two years have been very challenging for our island families. We see more and more requests for our services and the circumstances for many children have become more severe. Our volunteers have been with the families every step of the way,” Dyer said.

KPG is front-runner for Second Street design work BY brian kelly South Whidbey Record

LANGLEY — City officials hope to hire the Seattle-Tacoma design firm of KPG to do the designing and engineering work on the reconstruction of Second Street. The award-winning firm has worked on major projects throughout Puget Sound, including the South Division Street Promenade project in downtown Auburn, Burien Town Square, Bear Creek Parkway in Redmond, and Dumas Road in Mill Creek. Jeff Arango, Langley’s director of community planning, told the city council this week that contract negotiations with the company were underway.

levy CONTINUED FROM A1

While his district will learn from the successes and failures of surrounding fire areas, Palmer said his focus is informing South Whidbey residents about his department’s needs. “We’re obligated to inform people about what the need is so they can make an informed decision,” Palmer said. “It takes time to do that.” “We work for the citizens, so what they want from us is what we need to achieve.” A levy could be put on ballots by May, but Palmer said that is unlikely.

City staff hope to present a scope of work for the project, a contract and budget agreement and plan to the council at its next meeting in March. The project includes the redesign and reconstruction of Second Street between Anthes Avenue and Cascade Avenue. The $2.5 million street makeover project is expected to include more space for pedestrians, stormwater drainage improvements, the placement of utilities underground, landscaping, lighting and public art. Mayor Larry Kwarsick has also announced his picks for an advisory committee that will help guide the project. Kwarsick is planning to appoint Ron Kasprisin, an architect, urban

The primary ballot in August, or a special vote in February 2013, he said, are more realistic. That’s where the district’s public affairs consultant, Liz Loomis, factors in. She was hired to help promote the district and examine the feasibility of seeking a levy. One thing was certain for Palmer — a decision needs to be made, and soon. “I don’t think we can wait until the end of 2013,” Palmer said. “I think it’s going to have to be late this year or early next year.” The fire district, formerly known as Island County Fire District 3, had a levy increase defeated by voters in 2002.

designer and author; Fran Abel, a landscape architect and former councilwoman; local designer Eric Richmond; Planning Advisory Board Chairman Thomas Gill; former councilman Bob Waterman; Des Rock, owner of Useless Bay Coffee Co.; Shirley Owen, chairwoman of the Library Board; Janet Ploof, president of the Langley Main Street Association; and First Street businessmen Paul Sarkis and Fred Lundahl. The mayor also hopes that another city councilman, Jim Sundberg or Hal Seligson, will serve on the committee. Kwarsick also wants to appoint Gene or Tamar Felton from the Star Store. KPG was named to a list of finalists earlier this month that included

The measure would have increased the levy to 90 cents per every $1,000 of property value, but only received a 30-percent “yes” vote. “It’s been well over a decade since we went out and asked the public for help,” Palmer said. “It just depends on the services the community wants and what services we can provide.” The meeting will be at the Freeland station, located at 5535 Cameron Road.

LMN Architects; Barker Landscape Architects; Susan Black Landscape Architects; Makers Architecture + Urban Design; and Cascade Design Collaborative. All of the top choices are based in Seattle. It was hard to make the final selection, Arango told the Planning Advisory Board at its meeting last week. “We ended up with a lot of really good proposals,” Arango said. “The committee, I think, was pretty much unanimous,” he added. Arango also said the firm’s references had been checked, with good results. “I got three outstanding references for them,” he said.

City officials have suggested a broad public outreach to get ideas on the Second Street project. Arango said the design team may use space in one of Langley’s vacant storefronts to pull in passersby for input and feedback on the project. The still-empty Dog House Tavern has been one suggestion. City officials said earlier they expect to have a kick-off for the project on April 1, followed by a design charrette in May and a presentation of design alternatives at the start of July. With time added for possible revisions, the council would then select its preferred design the following month.

CLINTON WSF seeks input on Mukilteo plan Washington State Ferries officials will host a public meeting in Clinton this week to discuss upgrades and renovations to the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal. WSF officials are seeking public comment on the possible problems that building a new terminal — or continuing to use the current one built in 1952 — may pose. The public hearing on South Whidbey is scheduled for 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23 at Clinton Community Hall. Representatives from WSF, the Federal Transit Administration and other

agencies will be on hand to answer questions. A court reporter will record the public hearing comments. WSF says an improved terminal would provide easier access for passengers to use nearby trains and buses, in addition to improving safety and operations for vehicles and walk-on passengers. The environmental study looked at four alternatives: a status-quo, no-improvement option; replacing the existing Mukilteo Ferry Terminal with an expanded terminal; relocating the terminal to the eastern portion of the Mukilteo Tank Farm; and relocating the terminal to the western portion of the tank farm.

Cell tower critic hits 500 mark An opponent of an AT&T cell phone tower on Possession Point has garnered 500 signatures on a petition against the proposal. Clyde Monma, a South End resident who lives near the proposed site of the cell tower, has said the construction of the tower will pose environmental problems and will lower nearby property values. The battle over building a cell tower on the port’s property, the Dorothy Cleveland Trail, has raged for several years. A private buyer was sought for the 14-acre property, but offers were rejected and retracted. A lease was signed by the three port commissioners and sent to AT&T in late 2011. Now, the port is waiting for the coun-

tersignature to make the contract binding. Port commissioners have yet to see a copy of the petition, as well. “He came in at the last meeting and claimed that he had 500 signatures. We asked our port clerk for a copy of the signatures, but he got up and said he’d forward them later,” said Port Commissioner Curt Gordon. “At this point, no signatures whatsoever have been turned over to the Port of South Whidbey,” Gordon said. “We’ve asked for copies in the last two meetings. Both times, he would not submit the copies to us, and still hasn’t,” he added.

National insurance plan needed To the editor: Are your grown children without health insurance? Or, are they paying a large portion of their salary for a health plan that only benefits them if they are fighting a major illness (and, then doesn’t pay it all)? Do you have friends who are going without health insurance because they can’t afford it? Are you priced out of the health insurance market? If you answered yes to any of these questions, do us a favor. Consider supporting a national health insurance plan that benefits all Americans. Please, leave politics aside, just consider it.

In response

Business is part of city life To the editor: Recently the Record ran a front-page article with the headline, “Pub draws a crowd — of complaints.” Fortunately the letter I sent in response was too long and the Record was unable to run it. Brian Kelly suggested I do a rewrite that he could run. I used the word “fortunately” as I am now happy it didn’t. At the time I felt it necessary to try and answer some of the complaints described in the article. I now have a different perspective. In the past week-and-a-half since that article appeared the pub has received a wealth of positive comments and gestures of support. In fact, the Friday after it ran, we had our best Friday night since the summer and a number of people who came in said they came in specifically because of the article and the “complaints.” Before saying anything else, I would like to take a moment and thank all those who have shown their support. Beyond that huge feeling of gratitude, as I reflect on this positive reaction, I have come to understand that the issue is not between our neighbor and us. It is way bigger than that. To me it goes to the very heart of what seems to plague Langley. For the last few years, or even longer — though the recent recession has brought it into sharper focus — all we talk about is how to revitalize Langley. The real question is what defines a city or

town or berg — or whatever. I am not here to attempt a definition, only to say that it is not something that you roll-up every night and put away. It is retail stores, it is restaurants, and it is day life and night life. It is Choochokam, Mystery Weekend, DjangoFest; it is a farmers market in the middle of Second Street every Friday afternoon in the summer. It is delivery trucks, it is noise and difficult parking. Some just seem to want all the fruits of active commerce without any of the trappings or consequences. As if they expect tons of tourists (visitors) to shop our stores from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., eat in our restaurants from 5 to 8 p.m. and then leave the island returning us all to the peace and serenity of country life. In paragraph five of that article the Record says “the pub is widely acknowledged as one of the city’s premier success stories during the current economic downturn.” It is clear from the positive comments that we are doing something hugely right. We are sorry that Ms. Lagerquist chose to live next door to the commerce zone and we have done all that we can to minimize her issues, but ultimately I believe she needs to recognize that we are not the villain, we are simply a part of the fabric of urban life — not rural.

Letter writer was very wrong To the editor: In the Feb. 8 issue of the South Whidbey Record, Mr. Norman’s letter to the editor displays some serious misunderstandings, which we hope are not widespread. Let’s look at a few facts: The Freeland Water and Sewer District (FWSD) commissioners discovered in April, 2011, that the “defined benefits” eventually published in the Macaulay Report would not support their plan for a $40 million sewer - at least, not without a lot more grant funding. The FWSD commissioners then decided to “leave on the table” their resolution to form a local improvement district, or LID. (The formation of a LID by resolution would NOT have required a vote of the property owners concerned - all it would have taken is two out of the three commissioners.) The commissioners did not (yet) kill the $40 million sewer. They just left it in limbo while they continued to seek more grants and loans to fund it. Between April and the election in November 2011, the FWSD commissioners also continued to spend money on engineering resources to plan and build the $40 million sewer. Late in 2011, former Commissioner Knickerbocker said that (since its

inception) the district had spent something like $5.5 million to $7 million on the sewer project. Does that sound like “just something they had looked into?” After the election, at their meeting of Nov. 14, 2011, the incumbent commissioners finally voted to scuttle the LID. Until that moment, the possibility of large, arbitrary, unaffordable, and undemocratic assessments still threatened property owners in the FWSD. So Lou and Marilynn — the new commissioners elected in a landslide — did not run on a “false platform.” They and their supporters were responding to real threats, which still existed on the day of the election. (The above timeline can be verified by going to the FWSD website, www.free landwsd.com/, clicking on “Reading Room,” and then scrolling down to the 2011 minutes for May through December.) When the incumbent commissioners finally surrendered to the groundswell of public opinion, they did so graciously, showing respect and courtesy for the newly elected commissioners and their mandate. In the end, this entire episode may have been a lesson, not just in civics, but also in civility. LEW RANDALL, PRESIDENT Freeland Advocates for Informed Responsible Solutions

After down year, Falcon boys hoops seniors share their struggles Senior moments: Highs and lows for Falcon tandem

South Whidbey’s two seniors from the boys basketball team took some time to reflect on the past season, and their careers. Zach Comfort, the 6-foot8 forward, was a reserve the past two seasons before becoming the Falcons’ go-to scorer this year. Sam Lee, a 5-foot-10 point guard, spent most of his career as a backup. When he did enter games, his job was to score rather than pass. He found a solid mix this year after a slow start when the team turned the ball over about 20 times per game to start the season. This year, Comfort averaged 15.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 4.3 blocks. The Falcons’ second-leading scorer was Lee with 10.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 3.6 steals.

What went wrong this year? Zach Comfort: We didn’t reach our potential and didn’t start playing together until the end. Sam Lee: We most surely had an enormous lack of confidence going into this season. I would say that we simply were not ready to play to our fullest potential, and that we may have settled for being, at best, an average team sometimes. Turnovers were the bane to our success, plain and simple. What went well? Comfort: We ended on a high note and left the team for next year with

positive attitudes. Lee: We learned a ton, not only about the game of basketball but about how to face adversity as an entire group. I couldn’t be more proud of those younger guys stepping up to face a challenge head on. When it comes to competing and fighting until the end, those guys deserve all the credit. I have faith they will be a tough team to beat next year. How has your play improved over your Falcon career? Comfort: My play

improved each year, and then jumped in-between junior and senior year. Lee: I think I can now have the confidence to say I am a true point guard. Not only that, I believe I’m a basketball player. Instead of being the guy who is athletic enough to play the sport, I have become an allaround threat in the passing and scoring game. I am very pleased with my progression as a player. What is your go-to move? Comfort: The turnaround jump shot from

through actions and not so much verbally. Leading is leading, and if I’m tagged as one, I’ll do my best to follow through. Best advice you’ve heard: Comfort: Play like you’re tall. Lee: Play within yourself, under control and with intent — Coach Scott Collins, freshman year. Which player was the most difficult to defend? Comfort: Hands down, Zach Gordon (AMHS). Lee: Zach Taylor (Cedarcrest). What was your favorite or most memorable moment with Coach Pope? Comfort: When I had to run an entire practice for missing a day of school, and then I had to play against Zach Gordon the next day. Lee: Him doing snow angels on the floor with 30 seconds left on the clock in the final game at Seaside last year — classic Coach Pope. Down by two points, who should have taken the final shot? Comfort: I probably would have taken a three. Lee: Whoever is the most confident, and whoever we all trust to make it. If I were the coach, I’d give it to Zach. What happened to an in-game dunk? Comfort: I don’t know. Sam never gave me an alley-oop. Lee: That is Zach’s problem, ask him. I’m still mad about it.

Clinton 9-year-old shares his love of birds on ‘BirdNote’ BY patricia duff

BirdNote at WICA

South Whidbey Record

Nine-year-old Corbin Klaft said he likes the chickadees that visit his backyard birdfeeders, though the Great Blue Heron that lives high in a nearby tree bugs him a little bit. “He flies by our house and makes a really annoying sound — like geese but 10 times louder,” Corbin said. “I call him the living alarm clock because he used to wake us all up. That big blue heron thinks he’s a rooster,” he added. The South Whidbey Elementary student recently became interested in birds when he built a birdhouse to hang outside the Glendale Beach home where he lives with his family. “It all started when I hung the birdhouse, but the birds didn’t come,” Corbin said. He enlisted the help of his grandfather, Langley resident Phillip Mendoza, who showed Corbin the trick of hanging some bird feeders with just the right seeds to attract birds. “Then the birds started coming like crazy! What I mostly got was chickadees and towhees,” said the budding birdwatcher. News of Corbin’s newly discovered hobby was heard by Chris Peterson, the executive producer of “BirdNote,” a daily radio show about wild birds and their habitats that can be heard each morning at 8:58 a.m. on its flagship station,

When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 10. (Pre-show art reception starts at 6:15 p.m.) Info: Tickets cost $20; call WICA box office at 221-8268 or 800-638-7631.

Corbin Klaft stands in front of the bird feeders that hang outside his room; a perfect spot for viewing birds. 88.5 FM KPLU, and other on public radio stations across the country. Corbin was one of a group of 12 folks interviewed for a special BirdNote series inspired by the enterprising birding activities of Whidbey Islanders. Corbin’s show will air at 8:58 a.m. on KPLU on Friday, Feb. 24. In celebration of its Whidbey Island stories, Whidbey Island Center for the Arts will present “Come Celebrate Whidbey with BirdNote,” an evening dedicated to locals who have inspired stories for BirdNote at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 10.

Peterson will emcee the evening along with BirdNote theme music composer Nancy Rumbel and John Kessler, producer of BirdNote and KPLU’s host of “All Blues.” The audience will be treated to the story of how Dr. Mark Borden of Coupeville converted his horse fence to a hotel for swallows; how Heidi Hoelting of Clinton discovered 17 variations in the song of a sparrow; and how author and South Whidbey Record columnist Frances Wood and friends are tracking the habits of Pigeon Guillemots on Double Bluff Beach. The radio shows will also reveal

what Corbin has in mind for the birds of his backyard and what the Whidbey Camano Land Trust is doing to encourage the restoration of bird habitat. Corbin is well into his love affair with birds by now and said, since he lives by the beach, he doesn’t see any woodpeckers, but he has really enjoyed seeing all the towhees and the many eagles. “There are tons of eagles by our house,” Corbin said. “Once we saw an eagle swoop down on what looked like a seal who was getting a fish. There was a battle between the eagles and the seals over the fish,” he said. Back at his Grandpa Phil’s house in Langley, Corbin said, “The birds go berserk over there. There’s one little teensy problem — actually it’s a big problem — hawks! They sweep down and eat the little birds.” Corbin is most certainly hooked on looking out for what flies in the skies. The same kind of infectious love of birdwatching has made BirdNote a sensation. Founded by Peterson eight years ago, BirdNote is heard by

more than a million listeners and all of its more than 1,000 shows may be heard at www.birdnote.org. BirdNote keeps its headquarters on Whidbey Island, is recorded in Seattle and derives its bird sounds from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, N.Y. As executive director of Tune In to Nature.org, the organization that produces BirdNote, Peterson continues her deep interest in creating ways for people to learn what birds reveal about the complexity of the natural world. Having been the director of Seattle Audubon for nine years, she is keen to see the Audubon movement grow. The WICA evening will begin with a reception featuring birdrelated fine art at 6:15 p.m. preceding the performance. Also featured will be the photography of Craig and Joy Johnson, live music by Trio Nouveau, singer Kate Wright and guitarist David Licastro. “The people, the birds and the places of Whidbey have some amazing stories to tell. Join us to celebrate them and come early for the art,” Peterson said. Corbin has a good reason why folks should listen to him on the radio. “The more that people know about me, the better,” he said. Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts by phone, 221-8268 or 800-638-7631. Reservations are recommended. For more information, visit www.wicaonline.com.

From spinach to vegetables, what gets given up for Lent Today, as I’m sure you’ve noted, is Ash Wednesday. If you’re not Christian, it matters little, although similar periods of fasting and inner evaluation also occur in other religions. In some countries, Ash Wednesday is considered a national holiday, with businesses and government offices closed; in Canada and the United States, it is not observed as a holiday, but most

WHIDBEY RECIPES

Margaret Walton

churches hold special services to mark the day, which is the beginning of the Lenten season. For practicing Christians, the 40 days of Lent typically include some form of fasting or going without certain foods, along with recognizing one’s sins and resolving to be a better person. Ashes, usually the residue of palms burned after being used on Palm Sunday the previous year, are symbolic of sorrow for sins committed as well as a reminder of our mortality. During my growing up years, as Ash Wednesday approached, we kids always asked each other, more or less jokingly, “What are you giving up for Lent?” even though many of us were not regular church goers, let alone Catholic. More often than not, our

answers were things such as “spinach” or “vegetables,” even though we knew full well our mothers would not let us give up any such thing, for Lent or any other reason. My mother instead regularly suggested that I give up candy, which was, for me, not an option. Whether or not you observe Ash Wednesday or Lent, it is nevertheless as good a time as any to take stock of where you are and, perhaps, what you are, as you make your way along this road we all travel, from birth to death. As the saying goes, “can’t hurt, might help.” If someone asked me today what I’m giving up for Lent, my first thought would be “nothing,” because I’m a lapsed Christian, if there is such a thing, and am not

observing the ritual Ash Wednesday. But, it still causes me to give a good deal of reluctant thought to habits, traits, actions, ideas that may have crept into my daily life that I’m not particularly happy about and should consider giving up, and not just for Lent. No, I’m not going to bore you with the list, but yes, I do have a thing or two I have, after all, decided to try giving up during Lent, in the hope that whatever replaces them will be a lasting improvement. Candy — which for me means dark chocolate — is not one of those things.

RECIPES These days, who knows what “fasting” means; going

without take-out or fast food for 40 days? No dessert? Lay off the latte or caramel macchioto? Go without the two or three diet sodas? Some eat fish, but no red meat; others forego all but vegetarian meals. Personally, during the Lenten season and because it’s also the perfect time of year for it, I think SOUP! Hearty, good for both body and soul, a bowl of soup can make any Lenten meal a feast. This peppy shrimp soup looks complicated; it’s not, and you can make it meatless (using only seafood) if you wish.

THAI LEMON SHRIMP SOUP 1 lb. uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined

(reserve shells for broth) 3 cups water 2 cups bottled clam nectar 1 onion, sliced 8 slices fresh ginger (as close to quarter-size as possible) 6 T. fresh lemon juice 2 jalapeno chilies, split lengthwise (remove seeds and membrane unless you want the added “heat”) 2 bay leaves 1 T. grated lemon peel ½ t. whole black peppercorns 1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk ½ lb. wafer-thin boneless pork loin chops, cut into thin strips (optional if you’re going without meat; you could substitute scallops, or more shrimp) See recipes, A9

1 skinless boneless half chicken breast, cut crosswise into thin strips (also optional if you’re going “meatless”) 1 T. fish sauce 2 T. garlic chili sauce 3 cups hot cooked white rice ¼ cup chopped green onions ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro Cut shrimp in half lengthwise, cover and chill. Combine shrimp shells, water and the next 8 ingredients (through peppercorns) in a large saucepan. Cover and simmer for 30 min. Strain the broth and return to saucepan. Add coconut milk to the broth. Bring to a simmer. Add pork, if using; cook 3 min., then add chicken, if using, and shrimp. Simmer just until shrimp (and pork and chicken, if using) are cooked through, only about 3 min. Stir in fish sauce and garlic chili sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide rice and soup among 4 warmed bowls; sprinkle with onions and cilantro and serve. The very word “chowder” carries a connotation of comfort food and, during Lent, fish is often the alternative to meat. So, a fish chowder on a chilly February evening just may be a very welcome

Arrange sliced onion on top of the rosemary, then place the salmon, skin side down on top of the onion slices. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover the salmon with the remaining rosemary sprigs and arrange the lemon slices over the rosemary. Drizzle olive oil over all. Sprinkle lemon slices with salt. Roast the salmon in a preheated 500-degree oven until just cooked through (DON’T OVERCOOK!) Depending on the thickness of the fillet, it could be anywhere from 10 to 20 min., but just until salmon flakes when you test it with a fork but is still barely opaque. Transfer salmon to a warmed platter; serve with the roasted onion and lemon slices. Serves 4. Margaret Walton can be reached at falwalcal@msn. com.

It was something like out of one of those old movies. Judy Garland or Andy Rooney would shout, “Hey, there’s a barn! Let’s put on a show!” That’s almost exactly what happened back in 1982 when Texas transplant Martha Murphy began a theater school for children in Langley. In the beginning, classes were held in Murphy’s living room, church basements and the library, and even on the stage above the Dog House Tavern on First Street. “My vision was to give local kids a creative outlet to express themselves through group activities including theater games, acting and singing, something

I had done all my life growing up in a big family in Dallas,” Murphy recalled. “I wanted to help children grow into self-confident, selfexpressive young people who would find empowerment through their theatrical experiences.” Whidbey Children’s Theater will celebrate its first 30 years with an anniversary benefit “Standing Ovations,” a gala dinner and auction that starts at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 3 at Fireseed Catering and Event Gardens. Murphy’s vision took on a life of its own and the community began to take notice and a larger space was needed. Eventually the classes, showcases and the annual haunted house moved to the See benefit, A11

Marsanyi is also impressed by the alumni who keep coming back to the little theater to give back, such as the members of SlapHappy, who perform a benefit concert annually. “Being back on Whidbey, I feel like I wanted to give back however I can, because

Managing director Shelley Marsanyi said she is impressed with the longevity of the theater and the dedication of its community. “One thing I find amazing is that Martha usually has at least one second generation

Third Street Barn, which Murphy purchased with her husband in 1989, while the Clyde Theatre became the favorite venue for the larger productions. In 2004, Whidbey Children’s Theater was organized as a nonprofit thanks to a group of active parents led by Peggy Juve who founded the first WCT board of directors and became its first president. Soon after, the theater moved into its current home in the Porter Building at 222 Anthes Ave. Through the years, WCT has presented countless productions which have given thousands of children the opportunity to experience the collaborative process of theater during the school year and through the summers. Matt Bell is all grown up now, but still remembers his initiation into the WCT family. In ninth grade he was in “Oklahoma,” which was performed at the Clyde, and then it was on to “The Music Man” when he was a sophomore. The new stage, later named the Martha Murphy Mainstage, was just being built that year. “That was where SlapHappy happened,” Bell recalled, referring to the a cappella singing group he created with three other WCT boys. “It was a space where we

get up and sing in front of everyone. It truly is magical,” she added. Woods said she sees the positive effects of the rehearsal process on children. They become supportive of each other, practice discipline and respect, and cheer each other on. “By performance time, everyone is absolutely part of the same experience,” Woods said. “Everyone helps back-

all felt safe to be ourselves; where I felt like I belonged, which, with moving from Waldorf to public school, was really what I needed,” Bell added. Shows that are musical, dramatic, funny, serious, historical, seasonal, original and topical all have been produced on the tiny stage and on a tight budget. The company survives almost entirely on donations, volunteerism and sponsorship. However, no child has ever been turned away from the magic of making theater at WCT for lack of funds, and the scholarship program is one the company is proud to call a success. In 2007, Whidbey Children’s Theater was the recipient of a National Youth Theatre Youth Award and its current artistic director, Susannah Rose Woods, received a grant to write an original work in 2011. Woods wrote, directed and produced the children’s musical, “Inside Frampton and Outside the World,” and is currently in rehearsals for another new work she wrote titled “Wingspan.” Woods said, for her, there isn’t anything quite like seeing a child being transformed by the experience of theater. “I love when children come to WCT for the first time,” she said. “There is a kind of awe and a bit of fear and wondering if they’ll fit in. Within one hour of being with the other ‘seasoned’ theater children, all shyness is gone, they are laughing, fearless, willing to

took orders for 805 more,” Albaugh said. “Every airplane that we sell means jobs here. Here at the Boeing Co. we hired 13,000 new employees just in the last year. And our supply chain supports 250,000 jobs in the United States.” Another highlight, he said, was the selection of Boeing to build the next Air Force refueling tanker, a project

that will mean work at the Everett plant for decades to come. “I think the president was probably pretty happy we won it, too, because we kept 40,000 jobs here in the United States,” Albaugh said. “I don’t know about you, but I didn’t like the idea of the U.S. Air Force flying around in French airplanes.” Albaugh also said production will be increased by 40 percent over the next three years. “We’re building tomor-

row’s airplanes today,” he said. “That’s something the competition can’t say.” With the local unemployment rate at 8.8 percent, the outlook was welcome news. Even so, Obama detailed present problems on the ground that the middle class has endured for years. The economy. Unemployment. Outsourcing. “A lot of communities that used to rely on a lot of factory jobs, they saw those shrink. They saw those get shipped off overseas. Too

many factories, where people thought they’d retire, left home,” Obama said. “Too many jobs that provided a steady, stable life, a middleclass life for people, got shipped overseas.” “The hard truth is, a lot of those jobs aren’t going to come back,” the president added. “And in a global economy, some companies are always going to find it more profitable to pick up and do business in other parts of the world. That’s just the nature of a global economy.

“But that does not mean that we’ve got to just sit there and settle for a lesser future,” Obama added. Obama said the economic tide is turning, however, and he sounded a familiar refrain from other campaign stops. “Over the last 23 months, businesses have created 3.7 million new jobs, and American manufacturers are hiring for the first time since 1990,” Obama said. “Boeing is an example of that. But to keep it going, the last thing we can afford to do is to go back to the very same policies that got us into this mess in the first place. We can’t go backwards. We can’t go back to an economy that was weakened by out-

sourcing and bad debt and phony financial profits.” Obama trumpeted proposed changes to the tax code, and tax breaks for U.S. manufacturers. “No American company should be able to avoid paying its fair share of taxes by moving jobs and profits overseas,” he said. “My attitude is every multinational company should have to pay a basic minimum tax. You should not have an advantage by building a plant over there, over somebody who’s investing here and hiring American workers. “And every penny of that minimum tax should go towards lowering taxes for companies like Boeing that choose to stay and hire here in the United States. “It is time to stop rewarding companies that ship jobs overseas. Reward companies that are creating jobs right here in the United States of America,” Obama said. Obama’s speech — which was followed by campaign stops on Seattle’s Eastside — was well-received by Boeing workers in Everett. “I was very enthused about what he talked about, keeping more jobs here, trying to get the job base back in this country so that we can have more tax revenue,” said Vennie Murphy, a Boeing machinist. “He’s trying to get the jobs back into this country,” added George Braun, also a member of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District Lodge 751. “Like he was saying, all the work that’s done here at Boeing creates jobs for subcontractors in this country. And that’s where we want to keep these jobs — in this country,” Braun said.
