Widow, police, experts testify in Huden trial BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
COUPEVILLE — The widow of Russel Douglas, who was murdered in December 2003, testified Wednesday in Island County Superior Court. Brenna Douglas addressed her relationship with her then-estranged husband, a period which she descried as strained at times. She took the stand along with a handful of Island County law enforcement officers and forensics experts in the trial of James Huden, who Island County prosecutors allege was the triggerman who shot Russel Douglas in the head the day after Christmas more than eight years ago.
In his opening statements, Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks argued Huden’s motive for shooting Douglas was to satisfy his own troubled past, one with an abusive stepfather. Huden, dressed in a striped gray suit and wearing his hair in a pony tail, rarely looked up from the table and his notepad, which he appeared to be writing in during testimony. “This is about an assassination,” Banks said. “This case is about the assassination of Russel Douglas the day after Christmas.” “He didn’t even know Mr. Douglas,” Banks said, referring to Huden.

LANGLEY — Money will be tight next year in South Whidbey schools. Well, there are apps for that, and there will be plenty of iPads and iPods to swipe and compute on in the South Whidbey School District. Despite losing a handful of teaching positions to declining enrollment and dwindling revenues, the South End’s capital funds for technology are primed to be spent. The district’s technology director, David Pfeiffer, briefed the school board on an iPad project at the June business meeting. That brief became a full-fledged report Wednesday night during the school board’s budget workshop, and the various tablet and handheld device costs total $986,000. Funds collected from the technology levy approved by voters may only be spent on technology-related expenses such as computers, software, network infrastructure and certification. The almost $1 million for technology purchases will also pay for a couple of oneyear contracts for teachers who will be “repurposed” to the technology department, said District Superintendent Jo Moccia. One of the benefits of purchasing the handheld devices is entirely financial, she argued. The idea is to eliminate costly and outdated textbooks that require lots of money, space and replacement. “I don’t want to carry textbooks any more,” Moccia said. “I don’t want to buy textbooks any more.” The school board members applauded the presentation and praised a handful of teachers who represented the technology integration panel. Those teachers

are responsible for learning how to use and regulate the devices in their classes, then share that information with their colleagues in a peer-to-peer professional development plan. Fred O’Neal, board member, a bit of a techie in his own right, lauded the project and its flexibility to have students and their families directly alleviate a class need. These days, lots of students have smartphones and iPods or iPads. “The lines are getting blurrier and blurrier between what’s a computer and what’s a phone and so on,” he said. “We need to have a policy in place, and as far as I’m concerned, that policy only goes one way and that’s that students can use their own devices.” The first grade-wide implementation of the touchscreen iPad tablets will be seventh grade. Seventh grade students will have access to the second generation iPad, not the newest version. A pair of secondand third-grade classes at South Whidbey Elementary School will be the pilot program for iPod use. Moccia said she would like to use the other two classes that will not use iPods to compare test scores. Threat of theft or loss was already considered by Pfeiffer and the teachers.

Museum of Flight program accepts student
Dubendorfs enjoy anniversary in Maui
The Washington Aerospace Scholars program announces that Isaac Hall from South Whidbey High School will be participating in one of the four WAS Summer Residency sessions held in June and July at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS) is a competitive educational program for high school juniors from across Washington State. Hall is among the 160 students who qualified for the program from 297 students who applied in November. To qualify for the residency program, they spent five months studying a NASA-designed, distancelearning curriculum via the Internet and have been selected to attend one of the four residencies hosted at The Museum of Flight in Seattle this summer based on their academic performance on the distancelearning lessons. During the residency experience, they will collaborate with the other students on the design of a human mission to Mars. WAS scholars are guided by professional engineers, scientists, university students and certified educators as they plan these missions. The program is designed to inspire students to pursue degrees and careers in science, technology, engineering and math but the students are divided into teams which also require them to learn about mission management, budgets, the legal aspects of space exploration and medicine. In addition to the design of the human mission to Mars, they and the other WAS scholars will also participate in a number of hands-on engineering challenges. These challenges include design, construction and deployment of robotic rovers, model rockets, lander devices and payload lofting systems. Summer residency participants will also receive briefings from experts in the fields of engineering, science, physics, medicine, project management, risk management and space exploration, such as Dr. Bonnie J. Dunbar, NAE, retired NASA astronaut. They will also visit Everett for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Boeing Commercial Airplane assembly plant, (including the new 787), tour Aerojet’s Redmond facilities, and the engineering laboratories at the University of Washington. All room and board are provided to students free of charge by the Washington Aerospace Scholars Foundation. Washington Aerospace Scholars will accept applications in early September for the 2012-2013 program; visit www. museumofflight.org/was for an application. For details, contact 206-764-5866 or waaerospacescholars@museumofflight.org or follow the program on Twitter: @WASMission2Mars.
Shirley and Keith Dubendorf celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last month among the palm trees and gentle breezes of Maui. Their three boys, three daughter-in-laws and six grandchildren accompanied them for this joyous occasion. Shirley and Keith were married June 23, 1962, at University Christian Church in Seattle near the University of Washington, from which they both graduated. They spent most of their married life in the Northwest, with the exception of a one-year move to New York, where their second son, Darin, was born. Keith worked for Boeing as an engineer for more than 20 years before retiring and Shirley spent many years working in the laboratories of Children’s and Stevens hospitals. They raised their three boys in Edmonds, where they had a view of Whidbey Island. It seemed quite appropriate for them to retire to Whidbey where they built their dream home on the shores of Holmes Harbor. Shirley was no stranger to Whidbey before

Damage serious after SUV strikes Coupeville Linds By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
A portion of Linds Pharmacy in Coupeville was closed to the public for several days this week because of damage it sustained from a parking SUV. The accident occurred Wednesday morning and prompted authorities to close about half the store out of concern for the building’s structural stability. Although the damaged wall has since been partially repaired, the store is being required to get the OK of a professional structural engineer before reopening the closed section. “We’re having someone come out today,” said Store Manager Adam Lind, on Friday morning. “Hopefully we’ll be opening up this after-
noon.” According to Coupeville Marshal Lance Davenport, the accident occurred at about 10:55 a.m. when a Coupeville woman lost control of her 2000 Nissan Pathfinder and crashed into the front of the building. The vehicle jumped the curb and struck the storefront with enough force to partially push in the wall and leave doubts about the structural integrity of that part of the building. Although no one was hurt, it scared the bejeezus out of Lind. He was walking nearby the impact point at the time of the collision. “At first I though it was an earthquake, but then I looked over and saw the wall coming down and the front of a Nissan Pathfinder,” Lind recalled.
Town Council permits arts festival The Coupeville Town Council recently approved a special events permit for the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival from Friday, Aug. 10 through Sunday, Aug. 12. The festival is prompting several road closures during the weekend. The closures begin the evening of Aug. 10 and include Coveland at North Main Street, Front Street at the intersection of Center Street, Grace Street at Front Street and Eighth Street and Coveland east of the entrance to Christopher’s, which will move to the post office during festival hours. Several no parking zones will be in effect during the festival. Those areas are Seventh Street between North Main Street and Alexander, Alexander
between Seventh and Eighth streets, Willkes between Seventh and First streets and areas identified by the Coupeville Public Works Department to protect town infrastructure. Scheduling of personnel for event security is ongoing and the Coupeville Festival Association will cover the costs.
Island County Building Official Andy Griffin was called in to inspect the building. While the job would normally fall to Coupeville’s official, he is out of the office and Griffin was asked to fill in. His inspection did not result in good news for the business. “From the tape on, it needs to stay closed,” said Griffin, in reference to yellow tape that had been strung to isolate the area. Unfortunately, that represented about half the store and all of pharmacy’s Hallmark card section. Card sales make up a big part of the business, Lind said. “We sell a lot of cards,” he said. By Friday, Lind estimated the loss of sales in the hundreds of dollars. He could not yet say how much the damage to the building will run but hopes everything will be covered by insurance companies. On the day of the collision, Griffin said he didn’t think the building was in danger of coming down but recommended that people stay out of the area until a girder truss that supported that part of the building was either repaired or secured. Lind had contractors show up that day to conduct

structural repairs. Coupeville Building Inspector Bob Snyder was able to look at the building Thursday. Just to be sure everything is OK, he required a professional analysis. The driver, identified as Carol Franklin, declined to comment. However, she did say that she was not wearing the best shoes for driving and that her foot slipped off the brake pedal. Davenport said he does not believe excessive speed was a factor in the accident, despite the destroyed wall. “It’s a good size vehicle,” the marshal said. “It doesn’t take a whole lot of force to do that kind of damage.”

Band should have been paid To the editor: Regarding the Choochokam board vs. the closing band (South Whidbey Record, July 11): We understand from the Record article that the board had informed the band three times that they must play only their own music. It would seem to us that with the band paying no heed to the admonitions of the board that after the second warning, but at least after the third, they should have pulled the plug on the band. Amazingly, the board allowed the band to continue on to close the show. The board continued to use the band through the contracted period. The band thereby met its obligation and therefore their pay was an obligation. Had the board stopped them after the second warning, the pay could have been denied. But the board needed them, used them; what would they have done with all those angry folks who were seriously enjoying themselves? There should not have been an issue in the obvious obligation of payment! Personally, we would love to see more of our incredibly talented local folk back on the scene, booths as well as music.

It’s no time to raise taxes To the editor: I am certain that most homeowners on Whidbey Island know that their home values have declined since 2008. Imagine my surprise when I opened our property tax assessment and found our property tax bill had gone up in 2012. Yes, it seems our Island County commissioners have voted to impose a Clean Water Tax. Since we live on a golf course and have a sealed sewer system that processes our sewage and charges a hefty monthly fee; and since we have a water treatment plant that purifies all water coming in to our house for which we pay a hefty water bill; I was appalled that we would have our property taxes raised in the middle of a severe recession. Since we are low-income seniors, we must look for something else to cut, such as our food budget. But then I realized we have tax-and-spend Democrats running the county who think it is good government to raise taxes. They get a warm fuzzy feeling when they can take more of our money and create some new government-knows-best project. There is a time and a place for everything, and now is
not the time to raise taxes. Let’s wake up, people, and vote Helen and Angie out in November!

Lauderdale’s best for county To the editor: There are five people running in the race for Island County District 1 County commissioner. Who is the best candidate? Jeff Lauderdale is by far the best candidate. Island County is very fortunate to have a person of his integrity, experience and dedication running for this position. Lauderdale uses the basic principles of business, engineering and science to make decisions. This is the kind of decision making that taxpayers desperately need today; not political based decision making. We have all witnessed the millions of dollars wasted on the $40 million sewer proposed for Freeland that Helen Price Johnson promoted. Further waste of our tax dollars were her fruitless trips to Washington, D.C., where she

advertised Freeland as the “dirtiest beach in Washington.” Her statements were based on false presumptions and incomplete data, but her charade served her personal goals well. She fully advocated the huge assessments and yearly tax on Freelanders for a sewer system that was never even justified in the first place. A taxation that potentially would have evicted my low and fixed income neighbors. When I asked her face to face what is going to happen to my neighbors who cannot afford the assessment fees or annual taxes, her reply was “what normally happens to people who do not pay their taxes?” Evictions! Those evictions could have meant fixed income modest homes being replaced by million dollar waterfront homes. Very expensive homes that would set the pattern for more tax money flowing into Island County coffers. Very expensive homes that custom home builder Price Johnson Construction is very familiar with. Is there a conflict of interest here … or just high prices? In contrast, Jeff Lauderdale wants tax money used effectively. He understands how to properly examine issues from a scientific and engineering standpoint based on his degrees in engineering. He can prioritize how

trial CONTINUED FROM A1
The scene as depicted in photographs displayed to the jury was innocuous until the pictures showed the driver’s seat of Douglas’ Geo Tracker that he was found dead in. Island County Coroner David Bishop, the county’s elected coroner for 17 years, explained some of the details of his photographs. As each photo was shown on the projector screen, Huden took to his notepad, only
glancing at the enlarged images. Blood covered Douglas’ shirt, ran down his jeans and across his right thigh. The keys were still in the ignition, the manual window on the driver’s side was rolled down about one-third of the way. Blood was smeared on the top of the steering wheel and on the seat belt near the retractor. Bright red blood drops were on his left and right hands, his left in his lap, his right dropped to his side near the engaged emergency break. So much

blood had exited the wound in Douglas’ forehead that it saturated his clothing on the seat and pooled, Bishop said. “It’s pooling because the material there is saturated,” the coroner said. Blue-framed sunglasses Douglas was wearing when he was shot were splintered by the impact. Fragments were found inside the car: a lens on the passenger seat, half of the frame on the driver’s floor board, a piece on his shoulder, and another lens half on the rear driver-

driver’s seat. “I feel very strongly that he was seated where he was at the time of the wound,” Bishop said. Banks outlined the state’s case by its witnesses and what they would tell the jury. Key to Banks’ argument that Huden shot Russel Douglas as a form of homicidal catharsis was introducing the perception that Douglas was in some way abusive to his family. The nature of Brenna Douglas’ relationship with her deceased husband was critical for Banks. She had filed a restraining order long before the Dec. 26, 2003 murder, and told friends and family that her husband was verbally and physically abusive. He threw chairs in their Furman Avenue home in Langley, she said, and yelled at her and their two children, at the time 5 and 9 years old. “He had a lot of issues and wasn’t always the best at dealing with them,” Brenna Douglas said. Huden’s attorney Matt Montoya cross-examined Brenna Douglas. He questioned whether she told anyone of reconciliation efforts between Russel and herself in the months prior to the murder. She said she had not told others about their attempts to repair their marriage. The day Russel Douglas was murdered, he left his family to run errands, Brenna Douglas said. When he didn’t return by nightfall, had not called and did not answer his cell phone, she assumed he returned to his apartment in Renton, where he resided while they were separated.

“He never came back,” Banks said. A pair of Wahl Road residents, Diane Bailey and Nicole Luce, established the discovery of the vehicle Russel Douglas was found in. Neither witnessed the crime, but both saw the yellow Geo Tracker sport utility vehicle owned by Douglas. He was found slumped over the steering wheel on a driveway off Wahl Road. Bailey testified she saw the car drive down Wahl Road, then come partially up her driveway, before it backed out and went west. Bailey also said she did not see who was driving or how many people were in the car. “The windows were tinted, I couldn’t see anyone,” Bailey said. Luce said she spotted the car pulled off a driveway of a neighbor’s property. She and her partner Janet Hall walked along the beach Dec. 27 and returned home by crossing a neighbor’s property. Parked off the driveway was a sport utility vehicle. Luce said in court she could not remember the color. A handful of law enforcement officers and forensics experts testified Thursday during the trial’s second day in court. A few officers who had responded to the initial call that there was a dead man in a car off Wahl Road in Freeland described their arrival and process of evaluating the scene and evidence. The trial is expected to extend into next week, possibly lasting as long as 10 or 12 days.

Eventually, students will earn the right to take the iPods and iPads home, so they can utilize the devices beyond the classroom. One high school English teacher explained her plan to use the devices for online lectures that can be accessed remotely and at each student’s discretion. The catalog of free information through podcasts and University on iTunes also opened scores of teaching possibility. “We really need to start facilitating the idea that learning is any time, at any place,” O’Neal said.

Fair weather brings droves to new Langley Half Marathon routes BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
A lot of sunshine and a couple of new courses brought hundreds to the Langley Half Marathon last weekend. About 100 more people participated in the events. Race organizer Matt Simms said the increased number of racers resulted from the 80-degree weather and the addition of a 4-mile and a 7-mile course, in addition to the 10 kilometer run/ walk and 13.1-mile half marathon. The two middle distances were added late in the season, about six weeks before the race July 8 in Langley. “Typically in the past we’ve had someone come who’s trained in the half marathon distances and they come with someone who either doesn’t come along or is a spectator,” Simms said. “We told people they can run them, they can walk them. As soon as we did that, we had people signing up.” That included about 50 people who registered the morning of the race. A total of 264 racers competed overall: 133 in the half marathon, 29 in the 10k walk, 58 in the 7-mile
and 44 in the 4-mile. For Simms and the other crew of volunteer organizers, any increase in the number of competitors is welcome, and when it bumped by 100 they were thrilled. Given their limited ability to finance a marketing campaign, Simms attributed the event’s success to its reputation and course that takes participants from downtown Langley through trails and roads to Saratoga and back. And when they return, the Choochokam Festival greets the racers with its music, food, arts, shopping and, as was the case this year, sunshine. “It’s not like we have a staff of people looking at how we can better market the race,” Simms said. “There’s a nice, mutually beneficial relationship that comes with Choochokam and the city of Langley.” All the heat can slow competitive racers seeking personal best times. That and the “gently rolling hills,” which despite the race website’s advertisement, are about as gentle as a back scratch on the barnacleSee Marathon, A8

But the ball was misplayed into a three-run, three-base error. Meanwhile, North Whidbey’s pitcher blanked the South Whidbey hitters. He threw five innings and struck out nine batters while yielding three hits and two walks. South Whidbey threatened in the third when it put the first two runners aboard, but North Whidbey’s starting pitcher threw his way out of the jam. Kody Newman and Louis cracked back-toback singles, a two-out walk loaded bases. Kody, Louis, Mitch Grady and Cody Wilkie had the only South Whidbey hits. Cody led off the sixth inning with a line drive inches from the top of the fence. He hit it so hard, he got only a single.

Emergency work done, Clinton pier reopens By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
After weeks of emergency stabilization work, the Clinton fishing pier has been reopened for public use. The Port of South Whidbey Board of Commissioners met for their regular meeting Tuesday and gave the green light to reopen the pier, which is located on the side of the Clinton ferry dock. Work on the small facility began last month. A wooden walkway compliant with the American with Disabilities Act that led down to one of the two 25-foot floats had become so waterlogged and rotten that it was damaging the joint connecting the floats. At the time work began, it was unknown whether the floats themselves would need to be taken out of the water for repairs. That would have necessitated a lengthy permit process and considerably extended the facility’s closure. However, that turned out

not to be needed. According to Ed Field, operations manager for the port, more than three tons of wood was hauled away by the contractor, Rex Lukinich of Greenbank Metal Works. The floats are now accessed from the ferry dock solely via an 80-foot aluminum gangway. Lukinich was also able to fabricate a new steel hoop to secures the floats together and anchor it to a piling. The gap between the two floats, a large portion of which had previously been covered by the old wooden structure, is now covered by a heavy rubber mat.
“It’s basically a big piece of conveyor belt,” Field said. He emphasized that the new steel hoop structure is exposed, and traversing the bouncy dock can be “exciting” during storms and when large waves are present. The public should use appropriate caution when using the dock, he said. According to Field, the port hasn’t been billed yet for the job so he couldn’t provide a total project cost. However, the contracted work did go through a formal bidding process and Lukinich was the lowest bidder with his work estimate of $8,750.

Dorothy Saran passed away on June 28, 2012, with her family by her side. She was the matriarch of our family and will be dearly missed. She was born in Seattle on Nov. 1, 1921, to Barney and Bertha Konick, Russian immigrants. She was raised on Queen Anne Hill, along with her younger brother Willis. She grew up during the Depression but because her father owned a grocery store her family didn’t suffer as others did. She was raised in an intellectual household, always dedicated to liberal causes. Her earliest political cause was collecting money for Spanish Civil War relief in downtown Seattle when she was a teenager. Dorothy studied music at the University of Washington. Her parents had planned on her being a pianist. That plan changed when she and Marshall Saran met at a dance and soon after he called her to go on a picnic (he assumed correctly that she would prepare the food). By the end of that day they knew they were meant for each other and spent 67 wonderful years together, raising kids, traveling camping, entertaining, and going to jazz festivals. Son Michael was born while Marshall served in World War II. Craig was one of the first post war baby boomers and Mark was born 3 years later. She supported our Dad while he was establishing his business. Later, after her sons were old enough, she went to work in a number
of executive positions, her favorite being the Registrar of the Religion School at Temple De Hirsch – Sinai. Her life revolved around family, friends and synagogue. She was beautiful, stylish, elegant, a great cook and a wonderful hostess. Dorothy and Marshall enjoyed taking the family camping at different Washington State Parks almost every weekend during the summer, until they arrived to find all the campsites taken. They decided that it was time to buy a piece of property for a summer home. They purchased a lot with a large trailer on Lake Goodwin and then built an outside bunkhouse and bathhouse for their kids and their friends. The family along with friend spent many years enjoying swimming, waterskiing, boating, and evenings around the campfire. Dorothy loved spending the summers there while Marshall commuted to Seattle. One of her great joys at Lake Goodwin was not having a phone, and she could never be convinced to get one. Dorothy and Marshall retired early and spent the next 25 years on their fiveacre property and home on Whidbey Island. She loved living there, and enjoyed her many friends, music groups and book groups. Their home on Holmes Harbor became a gathering place for friends, relatives, children and grandchildren. Many family events and holiday meals were enjoyed there. Her grandchildren particularly have vivid memories of spending weekends and summer days there going to the beach or rushing downstairs in the morning for granny to fix them their favorite breakfast, her buttermilk pancakes. Dorothy and Marshall returned to Seattle for their last few years. They were both truly part of America’s greatest generation. Dorothy supported her sons, encouraged them, and insisted they learn and do certain things that they would value, even if they didn’t want to do them at the time. She exposed them
to classical music, drama, dance, roller derby, movies, chasing fire engines in a 1958 VW convertible and gave them a feel for where they belonged in the world. She was a great card player and gave no quarter, except perhaps to her grandchildren. She never tolerated any kind of racial slur or joke being uttered in their home. She was a feminist before it was popular and led a women’s support group that has met for almost 40 years. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Marshall. She is survived by her brother Willis Konick(Paul Jezik) sons Michael Saran (Gayle) and their daughter Jennifer Waller (Jason) and their children Griffin and Truman; Craig Saran (Joani), their sons Ian Saran, Kyle Saran, Adam Diskin (Hilary) and their children Hannah and Jolie, Lee Diskin (Lori) and their children Carly, Jack and Eli, and Matt Diskin; Mark Saran and his children Annie Sitzenstock (Chris) their son Noah (Dorothy’s 1st greatgrandson), Joshua Saran, Ian Boushey, Joe MickHager (Chasidy) and their children Desiree and Cruz, Carney Fletcher( Dave) and their daughter Ava, foster daughter Marilyn Jorgenson (Marc) and her daughters Jessica (Eric) and Lia, and loving nieces and nephew, particularly Lisa and Lara Konick. The family would like to thank her caregivers for extending the quality of her life, especially Ian, Josh and Carmen. Dorothy and Marshall were longtime members of Temple De Hirsch-Sinai and founding members of Temple Beth Am. A celebration of her life was held at The Center for Urban Horticulture, 3501 NE 41, Seattle, on Friday, July 13. Donations in Dorothy’s memory may be made to the National Organization for Women, P.O. Box 1848, Merrifield, VA 22116-1848.

Cowkids converge on M-Bar-C Ranch By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter
It was a scene out of the Wild West: pistols flashing and cowboy boots stomping, country music and horses to ride. With all the smiles lighting up the M-Bar-C Ranch, it was hard to see that the children didn’t often get the opportunity to just be kids. That’s the gift that the M-Bar-C Ranch in Freeland strives to offer. “We give children a day of western fun. It’s not therapeutic riding,” said Dale Kerslake, M-Bar-C Ranch volunteer and program coordinator. “We’re really about a place for kids facing serious challenges to come be a kid for a day and just be kids.” The ranch is operated by the Forgotten Children’s Fund, a Seattle based children’s charity. It sits on 52 green acres, offering plenty of room for the 20 horses --- which include a couple of miniature horses --- and a replica of a Wild West town the perfect size for young imaginations. Out of 68 days of operation during the summer, Kerslake said the ranch will be hosting groups for at
least 50 of those days. Along with special needs kids, the ranch also holds horse camps for youth and adults. The nonprofit is entirely volunteer run, with a number of adult volunteers and the help of 18 youth interns from all three school districts who learn how to handle horses while donating their time. The horses are donated, too, and are specially trained professionals. “They know what they need to do,” Kerslake said, adding that they’re “bomb proof.” The most frequent visitors to the ranch are special needs kids, many of which are very animated. Kerslake came to the ranch in 2008 to participate in a horse camp and get back into riding. Despite living on the island for 12 years before that, she’d never heard of the ranch. When she realized the ranch’s goal of helping special needs children, she got involved at the ranch because she wanted to see these children be happy. “You see these smiles,” she said, mentioning burn victims and children who suffered from domestic violence as other kids the ranch
has positively affected. The ranch also hosts parent-to-parent support groups, which are important because the whole family comes “to just enjoy the ranch, ride the horses and have a picnic lunch,” Kerslake said. Often, the focus is on the special needs child in a family, but these groups bring the entire family together. “Our goal is to give them the best day ever. To see them laughing and running around and forget the serious problems they’re facing,” Kerslake said. Wednesday, a group of about 15 special needs children and teens and their chaperones from a Seattle Parks and Recreation camp showed up at the ranch to the welcoming smiles of youth interns and ranch volunteers. From their hugs for volunteers they recognized and excitement at meeting the dog, it looked like it could become their best day ever. Kerslake greeted the guests with a “Howdy!” and led them to the flag pole to be sworn in as honorary cowboys and cowgirls. Today is “a chance to roam free and follow the cowboy way.
Welcome to the M-Bar-C Ranch. Yeehaw!” Kerslake finished. The excitement was tangible as the children raced to change into cowboy garb. They entered the barn as ordinary children and emerged as cowboys and cowgirls, plastic guns strapped to their hips and cowboy boots stomping the ground. The group also included some cowgirl princesses wearing colorful dresses. Even the chaperones donned handkerchiefs. Then it was horse riding time. Many of the kids had never ridden horses before, while some had experience. A trio of ranch volunteers and interns surrounded each horse as a guest climbed on from a raised platform. Training the horses to allow riders to climb on at that height is difficult because horses believe anything above them is a predator, but those horses were the very picture of patience. With encouragement from the volunteers, the kids adjusted to their horses and began to smile as each horse was led around the yard. Most even stopped to pet Patty, a huge draft horse used to pull wagons.
After a few rides each, the children converged on the Wild West town, bounding through Doc’s Barbershop, a bank and even a jail with a cell. Amid shouts and laughter, the town transformed into a western battle of epic proportions. Plastic pistols were drawn in standoffs --- and a few swords, too. The cowboys cleaned up the town, tossing the bad guys in jail just in time for the lunch bell and a meal of hotdogs, an old West classic. “The kids are having so much fun,” Kerslake said as she prepared for lunch. After lunch, the kids planned to make necklaces, keychains and do other crafts, “and just let them run around and expend all that energy,” Kerslake added. Memories from the day on the ranch were the kind of memories that could raise a child’s spirits and keep a smile on his or her face for a long time to come. Kerslake pointed out the ranch’s motto, adding how important its meaning is for the ranch: “The best thing for the inside of a kid is the outside of a horse.”

Justin Burnett / The Record
Newly appointed Whidbey General Hospital Commissioner Georgia Gardner, left, shakes hands with Commissioner Anne Tarrant, board president, District 2 seat at a special meeting in June. She was one of six candidates seeking the position. She replaces Paul Zaveruha, a doctor at the hospital who resigned this past April for personal reasons. Gardner, who grew up in Coupeville, is a certified public accountant. Her resume also includes eight years as a Blaine city councilwoman and five years as a Washington State representative for District 42. Anne Tarrant, president of the board, said in an interview following Monday’s meeting that the appointment process was an interesting experience and was very satisfied with the commissioners’ selection.

“I think she will be a great asset to the board, particularly with her background in finance,” Tarrant said. Gardner, who weathered her first meeting with practiced and polished poise, said she may be new to hospitals but that wasn’t her first rodeo in the arena of elected public office. However, she said she did get some coaching from hospital staff before the meeting on methodology and procedure. Gardner said she sees many financially related challenges evolving for hospitals in coming years and is eager to roll up her sleeves and get to work, especially for an organization that is so essential to her hometown. “I’m an island girl,” Gardner said. “I was here before Whidbey General Hospital and I want it to be the best hospital it can be.”

1 NE 6th Street, Coupev i l l e, Wa s h i n g t o n , t o consider adoption of Ordinance C-84-12 Changing Fees and Other Provisions of Chapter 6.08 of Island County Code and Resolution C-85-12 Adopting a Fee Schedule As Provided by Chapter 6.08 of the Island County Code, Dog License and Control. Summaries of the proposed ordinance and resolution follow. The proposed ordinance C-84-12 would establish dog license fees and other fees by resolution, rather than the current practice of listing fee amounts in Ch. 6.08. Additionally this proposed ordinance would amend all current references to a county pound to include contracted dog shelter facility and stipulate the contractual requirement for such facilities to maintain written records of dogs received into the shelter facility. The proposed resolution C-85-12 would adopt fee amounts authorized under Ch. 6.08. Annual Dog License fees, which were last changed in 1999, would be increased as follows: the proposed Annual License fee for each unaltered dog from $25.00 to $33.00, and for a neut e r e d o r s p aye d d o g from $7.00 to $10.00. B o a r d i n g fe e fo r i m pounded dogs would increase from $7.00 to $10.00 per day. No increase is proposed for Impound, Surrender and Adoption fees. The following fees would be eliminated: Late Penalty for license after April 30, Group License fee and Discount for dog owned by person 65 years and over. The full text of the proposed Ordinance and Resolution may be obtained by calling (360) 679-7397, or dropping by the office of Island County Clerk of the Board during normal office hours. Interested persons may appear at the public hearing and g i ve t e s t i m o ny fo r o r against the proposed Ordinance.
