Sean DeMerchant pleaded guilty to assault charges in Island County Superior Court.
Freeland man who stabbed his parents pleads guilty By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
A Freeland man who stabbed both of his parents at their Bush Point Terrace home last October has entered guilty pleas in connection with a plea bargain. Sean DeMerchant pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court July 30 to attempted assault in the second degree and assault in the second degree. Both charges are domestic-violence related. DeMerchant is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 24. Under the plea bargain, prosecution and defense will recommend a sentence of eight years and eight months in prison. The judge lifted a no-contact order so that DeMerchant’s parents can go see him in prison. The ordered had been modified earlier to allow them to correspond in writing. The Department of Corrections will conduct a presentence investigation before sentencing, which will also include a sentence recommendation. Such investigations are unusual in cases that don’t involve sexual assault, but was ordered in this case because of DeMerchant’s history of mental See guilty, A9
The sudden and catastrophic erosion that began claiming large chunks of high-bank property from a Langley couple in late July appears to have finally ceased, though the final toll is high and may not be over. Last week, it was recommended that Roy and Rosalie Ballinger begin emptying their two-story workshop due to its proximity to the edge of the massive hole — about 150 feet by 50 feet — that used to be their backyard. While their home remains safe, having to abandon the workshop was a terrible blow for the couple, especially for Roy. Up until last week, he spent a lot of time in the building working on various projects. “I feel very, very sad for Roy,” Rosalie said. The Ballingers’ lives turned upside down about two weeks ago when an underground spring began eroding their backyard. Within a week, they had lost a massive amount of property and their plight was splashed across headlines across the country. Their heart-rendering story even appeared on the ABC television broadcast, Good Morning America.

Langley resident Rosalie Ballinger waves hello to one of the many boats passing by her South Whidbey home. The huge portion of the high-bank property has been consumed by erosion from an underground spring. Things have since begun to calm down; their telephone isn’t ringing off the hook but their property is still the subject of intense public curiosity. During a 40-minute inter-
view with a Record reporter, a small plane continually buzzed overhead and several boats came in close to shore for a better view of the land slide.
The event has been financially taxing as well. It appears their See erosion, A9
Parking changes hit pub owner again By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Parking changes coming down from Langley City Hall are once again causing a fuss on Second Street. Last week, the gravel parking along the north side of the road, between Anthes and Park Avenue, was temporarily closed to address problems from storm water. Although the issue was discussed at a July City Council meeting, Mo’s Pub & Eatery owner Maureen Cooke said she was not informed. She learned of the closure by showing up for work on Wednesday to find a series of “no parking” signs posted in spots that had been utilized by her customers the day before. The move came just weeks after the
city approved a new parking zone on the same block that requires permits after 4 p.m. “They’ve taken the whole street away,” Cooke said. This is one of her busiest times of the year and the loss of parking has been hard on her business. During the first week of the closure, Cooke said she saw her sales receipts tumble “a whopping 28 percent.” Although customers have begun to adjust and are now utilizing parking along Anthes and at U.S. Bank and the Langley Methodist church, Cooke is worried about her elderly customers and questions the See parking, A9

On July 17, Island Transit held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Noble Creek Transit Park, located on Camano Avenue in Langley. Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen attended the ribbon cutting, as well as Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and Councilman Doug Allderdice, both on the Island Transit Board of Directors. Island Transit is committed to putting the “park” in park and ride, and the Noble Creek Transit Park reflects this with landscaping, rain gardens and a walking trail that winds its way through the area, according to a press release. Island Transit involved bicyclists in this project and ensured a bike shelter and pump was included in the final design. Local artists competed to design the shelters, resulting in a truly communityinspired park. “Our heartfelt thanks and gratitude goes to the
community members who stepped forward and participated in developing the vision and design of this project, and who shared their knowledge of native plants, greenery and landscape design, thus contributing to this endeavor. Island Transit extends an especially warm thank you to Sen. Haugen, whose vision made this project possible,” said Meg Heppner of Island Transit in a press release. Noble Creek Transit Park joins seven other Island Transit park and ride lots on Whidbey Island, plus one located on Camano Island. Island Transit park and ride lots offer free, all-day parking in order to take the bus, van or carpool to a destination. For more information, call 321-6688. For bus routes and park and ride lot locations, visit www.islandtransit.org or email info@islandtransit. org.

Four men cited for exceeding crab limit By Jim Larsen Record editor
Four Bothell men were cited and their boat was confiscated when they were found with too many crab in the Baby Island area of Holmes Harbor July 23. Mike Cenci, deputy chief of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, told The Record on Thursday that two officers were patrolling the area in the daytime incident. The officers questioned the men in the boat about how many crab they had, and they answered 22. That in itself would have been a violation, because the Dungeness crab limit is five per person.
Officers checked the men’s credentials and found only three possessed shellfish licenses. A check of three coolers in the vessel showed they were “jam packed” with crab, Cenci said, obviously far in excess of the limit. The men had parked their gray Humvee in the Holmes Harbor parking area, and it contained 30 crab. The final tally showed 83 Dungeness crab, including three illegal females and three others smaller than the legal size. But the rest were legal-sized males. “They had some really nice crab in their possession,” Cenci said. The men were fishing with eight crab pots, two over the
limit since one did not have a license. And the buoys were not marked, which is another violation. “It’s a decent strategy if you don’t want to be caught poaching crab,” Cenci remarked. The men now face gross misdemeanor charges of unlawful recreational fishing in the first degree. The maximum penalty is a $5,000 fine and a year in jail, plus possible forfeiture of their boat and fishing gear. Cenci said names are not released until suspects are found guilty. Cenci said it’s not known if the men were robbing other people’s crab pots, which is a frequent complaint during recreational crabbing sea-
son. This may not be a great year for crabbers, but Cenci said the number of violations is up. “The compliance rate in the recreational crab fishery seems to be poorer than last year,” he said. Figures are not calculated until the end of the season when the number of contacts is compared to the number of violations. There are, however, more crab in Holmes Harbor than there would have been had the men gotten away with their crime. “We got them before they were cooked so we returned them to the water alive,” Cenci said.

People, Not Politics. Elect
Voters slow in returning election ballots early By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
With the earliest primary in state history, some people involved in political campaigns in Island County are concerned about voter participation for the Aug. 7 primary election. A total of 9,758 mail-in ballots were returned to the county auditor’s office as of Aug. 1. That’s only about 18 percent of registered voters in the county, but was a jump
from Monday when only 5,358 ballots were received. Ballots were sent out to voters more than two weeks ago. Jill Johnson, a county commissioner candidate, said she’s concerned about the possibility of low voter turnout. “It can be hard to get your message out when you are competing with the sun,” she said. It’s undoubtedly an impor-
tant ballot for Whidbey Island voters to consider. Emergency Medical Services is asking for a renewal of a levy to keep ambulances on the roads. For those who live in Commissioner District 1, voters will get the chance to narrow down five candidates to two. The incumbent, Helen
Price Johnson, is facing Curt Gordon, Jeff Lauderdale, Ed Jenkins and Wayne Morrison. In District 2, incumbent Commissioner Angie Homola is facing Jill Johnson, Jim Campbell and Phil Collier. Ballots must be returned or postmarked no later than Tuesday, Aug. 7.

Island County is in desperate need of leadership. While our commissioners argue about the War of 1812 and dog license fees, important issues are being ignored. Families are moving off the island in search of living wage jobs. Businesses are denied permits that could create jobs, and taxpayers are being nickeled and dimed with fees and assessments that do little more than plug holes in the county budget. As a proven non-partisan official in our community for over 25 years, Curt Gordon offers a unique opportunity to elect an experienced leader not beholden to party agendas.

ate for planting on drain fields in Island County will soon be moving from the planning to the planting stage at Greenbank Farm. Over a three-year period, various plants suitable to the Whidbey Island climate and soil and moisture conditions will be tested on the two mock drain fields that represent the most common types used on the island. At the end of the test period, the plants will be partially dug out in order to measure the depth of their roots. This will determine which plants have infiltrated the distribution system. Plants to be tested have been selected by Master Gardeners with the advice of Dr. Carol Miles, WSU Northwest Washington Research and Extension Center, from a list of plants already being used by Island County Master Gardeners on their drain fields. The Whidbey Island Garden Tour has donated $1,300 toward the purchase of the selected plants.

Property tax check problems To the editor: I paid my property taxes in April 2012 for the full year by check. It’s a checking account I rarely use and don’t monitor whether the checks clear because I have a carbon copy. I recently received a reassessment notice for 2011 taxes which prompted me to call the assessor’s office. At this point I was notified that I had 30 days to pay the back taxes. I also was notified that my taxes had not been paid for 2012. I explained that I had paid it by check through the mail and upon checking with my bank the check was never processed. I ended up with fines and penalties, which I have paid. I also paid the back taxes for 2011 with a penalty, which I argued against both with no result in my favor. I recently talked to another couple and they too had the same problem with their check not being processed and incurring penalties! Is this an Island County Assessor’s way to make up for the shortfall in taxes? I encourage everyone to respond to this letter if it has happened to you! Robert Logue Oak Harbor
Ambulance user pleased To the editor: In the nine years I’ve lived here, I have done the emergency run at least four times. It’s high drama, but too real when it’s me! If I’m going to be the star of that show, I want it to be first class. At a minimum, I want: 1. Speedy arrival after I call 9-1-1. 2. To be treated with dignity, even when I’m in a most undignified position. They don’t laugh, they don’t patronize and at least one woman is on the team. 3. Tender care when I’m in distress. Tough decision-making when the situation is tense. 4. Keep cool, drive safely, team support from emergency doctor and the hospital ER. 5. Caring attention during the 30-minute drive from my home to the hospital. To regularly deliver such basics under stress is normal for our EMTs and paramedics. They are a well-oiled team, long experienced working together — some for 25 years or more. And while they work with me, others are jockeying to planned locations to give ambulance coverage elsewhere while mine is in action. On our sprawling two-lane island, such synchronization is essential — and we get it 24 hours a day.
In the last “Pulse” hospital report, on page six, you get a full picture of costs it takes to support the whole system and a bar chart showing increasing demand for services each year for the last 11 years. The number of calls goes up each year, but income from the tax levy remains the same each six years. It takes careful management to be able to regularly pull that off. I want all of us to continue to have this quality of service every day. Please vote yes for the tax levy to continue at the same amount. Theo Wells Freeland
‘Outsider’ should be seen To the editor: I highly recommend a viewing of the play currently showing at WICA called “Outsider,” written and directed by Gail Fleming. We enjoyed it last Friday and I will choose the words provocative, surprising, reflective and musical to answer “How was it?” The acting is strong, and the set, which moves between enticing woodland nooks, an office and a living room draws the audience into ongoing intimacy with the characters.

port of the Citizens United decision, agreeing that “money is speech.” What Lauderdale left unsaid: More money means louder speech; more money overwhelms individual campaign contributions; more money spawns more lobbyists; more money buys more politicians. This is a nonpartisan issue. Average Americans, regardless of their political views, lose when big money corrupts our elections. Mr. Lauderdale and his political ally Kelly Emerson need to listen to what a growing number of citizens are saying: Corporations are not people, and money is not speech. Helen Price Johnson and Angie Homola voted to support the amendment, and I congratulate them on doing what is right to maintain our democracy! Beware self-serving politicians who support this very dangerous ruling by a politicized, activist Supreme Court. Paulette Becker Langley

Election needs more coverage To the editor: Regarding the July 21 article, “District 1 candidates face off in Clinton,” I am sorely disappointed. I know as much now as I did before reading the article, which is very little. Being new to Whidbey Island/Clinton, my family and I would love to do our civic duty and wisely choose a county commissioner, however, this is next to impossible given the type of coverage of the candidates, not to mention Washington state’s new system of publishing candidate information online. When there are more than two candidates willing
to step up to the plate and be counted, does anyone need the same political song and dance? As for navigating online to the Washington state election website to learn about the candidates, how many voters use a computer, 70 to 75 percent, which translates into 25 to 30 percent who do not use a computer? I venture the percentage of uninformed “alleged computer literate” voters unable to navigate to the candidate web data is equal or greater to those who do not use computers. Do the candidates represent those who can afford a computer or practical understanding to surf the web? This is an election to vote for an Island County commissioner whose responsibility and service to all the community must be solid in content and integrity. The county commissioner’s role is to facilitate and provide a firm foun-

Solar blight in Greenbank To the editor: In shop class, when I was a kid, we were taught to measure twice before cutting that board. Yes, I had to learn that lesson a couple of times more before it sank in, but now I think about it every time! The same can be said about planning ahead. I do believe in renewable energy and resources, and I am a firm believer in recycling; but everything has its place. Solar panels look fine on rooftops, industrial settings, on school or municipal buildings. In pastures, on historic farms — not! I could hardly believe my eyes, as I re-read for the second and third time, the article about Greenbank Farm and its solar project. I remember very well the energy crisis of the 1970s, when everyone

I have had to read carefully the details of the finances of this money-making enterprise; and when does it break even, and when does it make money, and I missed the stated lifespan of the panels, and who gets the opportunity to buy it at the end of its lifetime. As a wise congressperson said, “We have to pass it to see what’s in it.” The way it looks to me, the private investors get their profits before the “port” gets anything. Does that sound like Solyndra, anyone? As far as I can see, the only people making any money on this deal are the installers, and they will be long gone when the questions are asked years from now. Beware the governmental business complex! If I could, I would tear out everything right now, and chalk it up as a bad experiment; but I know it’s too late and at least I have had my say. Shame on me for not speaking sooner! So what will I do? Well, I’ll park up the road, put on my blinders, and try to enjoy what’s left of wonderful Greenbank Farm. And when the weakened winter sun skims the horizon, the rains come, and when the clouds block the sun for days on end, I’ll wonder whose idea was this anyway. I do hope it makes money, but will it all be really worth it in the long run? Harvey E. Lambeth Jr. Clinton
Langley panders with parking To the editor: Driving into Langley this morning I noticed all the no parking signs coming down Second Street. Along the west side of the street they all said “residential only.” I cannot imagine what the geniuses on the council thought they were doing other than listening to the constituents who scream and whine the loudest.
Where do they think all the people who go to Mo’s Pub will park? Why, fight in Langley for downtown parking spaces, of course. How will this solve the intractable problem of parking? This certainly seems to me to be a political form of cowardice in caving in to those people who are yelling the loudest with driveways and some garages for their vehicles. I hear constant moans about the loss of revenue from tax receipts being down and shake my head when I see this kind of pandering to a few individuals who make the loudest complaints. Shame on you, city council, for this extremely illadvised and poor decision equalling the truck loading zone a few months back. What’s wrong with you people and where is the common sense of the common good here? Bud Hoelscher Langley
Fed up with Langley politics To the editor: Oh, Langley, please get over yourself. I am canceling my subscription to this paper and choosing a more island friendly attitude, the Whidbey Examiner. I am at my end with the whining and complaining of miseries of Langely politics. What has happened to a wider, more comprehensive view of news on our island? Added to this is the small minded behavior exposed by the treatment of the musicians at the beloved Choochokam Festival. This attitude is a devastating blow to the community spirit and most assuredly to the entrepreneurship of the courageously struggling businesses. Shameful. Could someone please tell me who the sister city is to Langley? Perhaps L.A.? Johanna Marquis Freeland

Now, I read that the most sophisticated system ever, built in the desert where there are over 300 days of sun, may not be as profitable as envisioned. I almost wrote months ago to warn about constructing an untested solar experiment at Greenbank Farm; and then they came, the ugly black panels taking form like a blight on the landscape.

Whidbey native competes in Olympic dressage Adrienne Lyle places 35th in Grand Prix in London BY JIM WALLER Whidbey News-Times
Whidbey Island native Adrienne Lyle finished 35th in the dressage Grand Prix at the London Olympics Friday, Aug. 3. Lyle, 27, aboard Wizard, finished with a score of 69.468. Great Britain’s Charlotte Dujardin led the field of 50 with an 83.663. Lyle, who was born in Coupeville, grew up on South Whidbey and graduated from Bellevue High School, now lives in Ketchum, Idaho, where she trains horses and riders. Dressage is often called “horse ballet” or the equivalent of gymnastic’s floor exer-

Adrienne Lyle cise on horseback. The horse and rider execute a series of moves that make the horse look like it is dancing and are rated by a panel of judges on a scale of 0 to 10. At the Olympics, the top 11 riders and seven teams advance to Grand Prix Special Tuesday, Aug. 7, to decide the team medals. The
United States is fifth after the Grand Prix. Team scores are the average of the top three riders from the country. Lyle was fourth out of four Americans. Teammate Steffen Peters (Ravel) was sixth at 77.705, Tina Konyot (Calecto V) 27th at 70.456 and Jan Ebeling (Rafalca) 30th at 70.243. The United States is one of only five countries which qualified both a team of three and an individual for the Grand Prix. Lyle, one of three USA Olympic rookies in the dressage, said before the games she “is living every little girl’s dream.” She added, in an interview for Dressage-news.com, “I want to be able to just take it all in. This is so much more than just a horse show. No one can ever take away from you this experience that transcends everything else.” At 27, Lyle is young for
an Olympic equestrian where many of her competitors are twice her age. Her teammates are 53, 50 and 47. Peters is the only Olympic veteran, qualifying twice. As a teenager, Lyle joined a local pony club and competed in eventing before changing to dressage. She earned berths on teams that medaled at the 2002 North American Junior Dressage Championships and the 2004 North American Young Rider’s Championships. Lyle began her horsetraining career seven years ago when her parents, Greg and Ann Lyle of Clinton, purchased a condominium in Ketchum. There she began training with Debbie McDonald, a former world champion and Olympic medal winner, and Wizard in 2006. She and Wizard first came into prominence when they won the Brentina Cup and National Intermediate I

tive Grand Prix titles. “My journey over the past seven years…when I first met Wizard has been incredible,” Lyle told Dressage-news. “The Thomases (owners of Wizard) and McDonalds have given me more than I ever could have hoped for.”

A kitchen can also serve as a healing place It’s been a tough week, a strange, confusing, terrifying and very discouraging week. As remote as we are from the recent Colorado massacre, it’s impossible not to feel within ourselves some of the pain and suffering everyone involved there must be going through. We may never find out or understand what triggered such insanity in the previously brilliant mind of a seemingly promising young man, but the questions this event has raised may be with us for a very long time. Equally, if not more disturbing, however, was reading in an article in Time magazine that more U.S. military personnel have died by suicide since the war in Afghanistan began than have died fighting there, and that the current suicide rate among all veterans is one every 80 minutes, every day and night, around the clock. That’s appalling, and even more appalling is that military personnel do not know why this is happening, nor do they seem able to prevent it. Statistically, according to the article, 95 percent of the suicides are male, and the majority of them are married, which means they are leaving behind devastated wives, and possibly children. But,

in spite of billions of dollars the Pentagon is devoting to mental health issues in the military services, nothing thus far has stopped the alarming number of selfinflicted deaths. Once again, what is it that triggers such despair in the minds of our previously mentally and physically strong, healthy people? No one has yet to come up with an answer to that question, and existing treatment options are having little effect as of now. Such accounts leave me feeling helpless, discouraged, and I wonder what, if anything, can be done to prevent both unimaginable tragedies such as the Colorado horror and the unacceptable loss of so many fine military men
f
who feel compelled to end their own lives. Has there ever been a time quite like this in our past history in this country? I have no answers, only a tattered faith that if we, each and every one of us, reach out with love, patience, and an open ear to every person in our lives, we may be making a difference, unbeknownst to us, to someone near to us who is temporarily lost and in hidden pain.
RECIPES When I’m feeling down, discouraged, upset with some of the human race, I retreat to my personal healing place, the kitchen. Yes, I know that sounds silly in the face of what I’ve just said above, and yes, it’s certainly the last place many of you would go for a lift, but for me, creating something delicious, comforting, perhaps unusual, is calming and strengthening. It’s what I know how to do, so I do it, and if it’s also something I can share with a neighbor or friend, so much the better. Again this year, I have freshly picked sour cherries available, thanks to Gil Nyerges, a reader who calls me every year to tell me
when the cherries on his tree are ready to pick. When I finish this column, I’m going to combine them with a favorite ingredient, ricotta cheese, to make an unusual tart that I’ll share with a surviving veteran of one of our too-frequent wars.
SOUR CHERRY RICOTTA TART 1 1/2 cups flour (allpurpose), plus a bit extra for dusting 1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces, plus a bit extra for greasing the tart pan 1/2 cup superfine sugar (also known as cocktail sugar, and it does make it easier) 1 egg yolk Grated zest of one lemon 2 cups sour cherries, pitted 4 T. water 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese Sift the flour into a mound, make a well in the center and add the butter, half the sugar, the egg yolk and lemon zest, mixing well with your fingers or fork until mixture is soft, moist and holds together. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 1 hour. Put cherries into a saucepan with the water and remaining 1/4 cup sugar;

cook over low heat for 20 min. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease and dust the tart pan with that bit of extra butter and flour. Put the ricotta cheese into a bowl. Drain the cherries and stir them into the ricotta. Halve the dough and roll out one piece on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4-inch thick round. Place in the prepared tart pan and sprinkle the ricotta mixture on top. Roll out the remaining dough, cut into strips, weave into a lattice on top of the tart. Arrange remaining dough strips around the side and press lightly to seal. Bake for 45 min., remove from oven and allow to cool. Serves 6. I do understand that many of you don’t have the luxury of kitchen time that I now have, but still might like to take your mind off everything you can’t fix by making something outstanding that you can fix, quickly and easily. This pie, topped with all the fresh berries currently available, may help.
ICE CREAM PIE WITH BERRY TOPPING 1 quart vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
Spoon the ice cream into the crust, smoothing the top. Squeeze the chocolate sauce in straight lines over the pie, spacing about ½-inch apart. Draw the tip of a knife through the chocolate lines, making a chevron pattern. Sprinkle with almonds and freeze until firm. (This can be made a day ahead; keep frozen, then let pie soften slightly before serving.) Just before serving, bring all berries, water and brown sugar to simmer in a med. saucepan over med.-high heat. Cook until sauce thickens, stirring gently, for about 4 min. Remove from heat. Cut pie into wedges, place on plates and spoon warm sauce over. Serves 6.

logic behind the closure. “I just find it ludicrous and absurd,” she said. According to Challis Stringer, director of Public Works, the gravel parking area is in a public right of way and was closed largely to address what was becoming a pricey storm water problem. Because the area is located on a hill, heavy rains cause the gravel covering the parking spots to wash into a nearby drain. A recent inspection found the underground pipe choked with rock and sediment, she said. “It’s completely compacted with gravel,” she said. Having a professional clean out the pipe costs about $1,500. This has been an ongoing problem for years, she said, and the city can’t afford to pay for continued cleanings every time the drain gets clogged. There is currently no money to pave the area, so city officials are hoping grass will serve as a stopgap. The area has been sprinkled with seed and it should take about six weeks for it to mature, Stringer said. At that time, the parking area will be reopened. However, if it doesn’t work and the area becomes muddy and causes further clogs, Stringer said the city will have to take further action. “If it gets torn up, we’ll close it permanently,” she said. Or, at least until money can be found to pave the area. It’s unclear when those funds might be available. Pub owner Cooke isn’t buying it. Along with the recent implementation of the permit-
www.Southwhidbeyrecord.com
parking zone, she can’t help but start to feel like she’s being picked on. “It’s been one thing after another since we opened last year,” Cooke said. “We’re taking it as harassment,” she said. This is a terrible time of year to lose parking and Cooke is calling on city officials to find a way to mitigate the problem. “Right smack in the middle of summer is just not right,” Cooke said. “There has to be some kind of compromise.” Mayor Larry Kwarsick emphasized that no one at City Hall has it out for the pub. On the contrary, he said it attracts a host of customers and is a valuable business that adds to the city. However, as an evening enterprise, its location in a largely residential area makes for some tricky problems. He said the permit-parking zone has been in the works for a long time and is an attempt to balance business and residential concerns. As for the gravel parking, he said that’s a temporary problem and hopes the issue will be resolved soon. He said the city is willing to compromise by allowing some commercial parking in the permit areas but only after property owners are notified and only until permanent parking signs can be installed. He made it clear that they could arrive “any day” so the mitigation may be extremely short lived. He also noted that, as Cooke pointed out, people are starting to adjust. The problem is already beginning to sort itself out. “We’re glad people are adapting,” Kwarsick said. “We’re willing to adapt but we also need to stay the course.”

1916 - 2012 Norman G. Wittenbrock passed away on July 30, 2012, in Seattle after living a long and rich life. Norman was born in Terre Haute, Indiana on June 16, 1916, to Elsie and George Wittenbrock. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Rose Poly Technical Institute in 1938 and his Master’s degree in Inorganic Chemistry from Brooklyn Poly in 1940. During WWII, he served in a chemical battalion in the Aleutian Islands. In 1944, he married the love of his life, Helen Louise Wittenbrock, in Seattle, Washington. In 1946, Norman and family moved to Richland, Washington, where he began work at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. They spent much of their life in Richland, where they raised their three sons, David, Stevan and Paul. During his time in Richland, he worked for DuPont, General Electric and Battelle Pacific NW Labs. In the early 1970’s he
accepted a two year posting to the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria. Norman retired in 1981, and he and Helen moved to Whidbey Island, Washington. Helen died in 2004, and Norman spent the last years of his life in Renton, Washington. He will be remembered as a devoted husband and loving father. He loved to work with his hands: a lifelong model railroader, he also built a hydroplane and ski boat for his sons and a lakeside home in Idaho. Norman is survived by his three sons and spouses: David & Shirley, Stevan & Debra, and Paul & Kathy, and grandchildren Diana, Sandra and William. Norman will be put to rest next to Helen at Tahoma National Cemetery. A memorial service was held Thursday, August 2. In lieu of flowers, Norman asked that a donation be made in his name to the Chemical Engineering Department, Rose Hulman Institute of Technology, 5500 Wabash Ave., Terre Haute, IN.

South End hikers trek to Washington’s summit

SWHS teacher leads Mount Rainier climb BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
It was a long way to the top of Mount Rainier, in more ways than just elevation and distance, for a group of hikers from
South Whidbey. Biting cold, whipping wind and altitude sickness greeted the eight climbers at the summit the morning of Sunday, July 15. Standing at the top of Washington, at 14,411 feet, the group had reached the culmination of planning that spanned nearly two years. “The wind was like 65 miles per hour, so even though it wasn’t extremely cold,

the wind made it so,” said Greg Ballog, the trip leader and a science teacher at South Whidbey High School. Ballog led fellow district employee Kevin Lungren and his daughter Emma, three Falcon alumni and their two friends on the venture. The three Falcon alumni were Amy Barrow, Jen Baker and Reuben Baker, who brought their non-Whidbey friends Owen Jones and Colin White. The group dubbed the excursion “Redemption 2012” after a missed attempt at the state’s tallest peak last summer, when an ankle injury kept the full team from making the journey. Trouble struck the group during the ascent, for which the climbers embarked at midnight and witnessed the Aurora Borealis phenomenon. Altitude sickness caused by low oxygen levels in high altitudes above 8,000 feet affected a few members, even leading one to a bit of dehydration and hypothermia. Ballog recalled seeing her lips turn blue, and promptly put her in a naturally made cave in the glacier to shield her from the wind, wrapping her in coats and sleeping bags. A drop of only a few degrees in core body temperature can lead to hypothermia, which led a couple members of the fellowship to experience shivering and mental confusion. “The people that hadn’t been up there before kind of learned their limits,” Ballog said. “It’s going to be uncomfortable,” he said of the journey. Ballog, who has taught Advanced Placement biology at the high school for several years, used his experience and knowledge to check the climbing team during its summit attempt. He used a pulse oximeter to check blood oxygen levels, but also to motivate some of the climbers when they weren’t sure they could continue. “It’s fun,” Ballog said. “I love seeing people push themselves.” “A lot of times complaints come from
fear,” he added. Nevertheless, the group stood atop Washington and nearly three miles above the shores of Whidbey Island. Lungren, 54, and his daughter Emma, 15, spent the summer preparing for Rainier. They hiked Mount Adams earlier in July and iterated a motivational quote of sorts during the challenging moments. “If you want something you’ve never had, you have to be willing to do something you’ve never done,” Lungren said. One thing that Lungren praised about hiking was its physical effects. In the past year and a half, he shed about 30 pounds from walking with a weighted backpack and hiking around Washington. “The biggest thing has been my personal conditioning,” Lungren said. Ballog, an experienced mountaineer of 40 years, encouraged his group to physically prepare by March. His time-tested method of exercising included walking around some of the South End’s hilly areas wearing a loaded backpack for an hour and a half, three days a week. The group did some potentially life-saving preparations, too. Lungren and some of the group went to Stevens Pass and practiced self-arresting, which is a technique invoked when sliding down a glacier or snowbank to stop or slow the descent. They also worked on rope training, how to tie ropes together for safety when crossing a glacier that can be pockmarked with snow-covered crevasses. All the work went into one moment that lasted about one hour atop Mount Rainier. “Everybody feels accomplished,” Ballog said. “Even though there were a lot of people up there, it’s a pretty individual thing.” Then there were the binding elements of the trip: an island and a mountain. On the summit, the two finally came together. “It was a neat, South Whidbey High School-themed trip,” Ballog said.

Religion notes Transcendantalism Peter’s lessons and Emerson’s aunt on corruption The transcendentalist movement, whose chief spokesperson was Ralph Waldo Emerson, had a significant impact on Unitarianism and American philosophy. That renowned speaker, minister and writer was deeply influenced by a less known woman — his aunt, Mary Moody Emerson. Dennis Reynolds will explore the roots of transcendentalism, a process that can help deepen the exploration of the nature of divinity and the divinity of nature. Child care is available, but there will be no religious exploration classes in August. The service is at 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 5, at the Unitarian Universalist Cogregation of Whidbey Island, 20103 Highway 525, just north of Freeland. Check www. whidbey.com/uucwi for more details.
The Apostles showed concern for the church; Peter continues that concern in his second letter. Pastor Darrell Wenzek’s 10 a.m. sermon Sunday, Aug. 5, from II Peter 1:1-4, captures the theme of the book with the title, “Escape the Corruption.” At 9 a.m., Stan Walker leads an adult study in the book of James. Refreshments are provided both hours. South Whidbey Community Church is a non-denominational Bible church which gathers to worship God, study His word and encourage one another. Visit www.whidbeychurch. org or call 221-1220. They meet at the Deer Lagoon Grange Hall in Langley.
Be prepared for whatever it is
Whidbey Island Quakers meet every Sunday from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist building, located at 20103 Highway 525, north of Freeland. For details, visit www. whidbeyquakers.org.
Do you get the feeling that we are building up to something? Are you clear that you are wellprepared for whatever it is? Where does God/Spirit fit into it? Join Rev. Joanna Gabriel Sunday, Aug. 5, at 10 a.m. at Unity of Whidbey, 5671 Crawford Road, for an engaging look at these very interesting times. Tadd CharetteNunn will provide musical inspiration. Sam Glass will be the platform assistant. All are welcome. Visit www. unityofwhidbeyisland.org for more information.
Liberty exists in the Lord’s spirit As citizens of this country, we pride ourselves on freedom, yet, increasingly, people feel their freedom slipping away due to fear and worry over public safety, the economy, sickness and security in relationships. However, in II Corinthians, we read “… where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” The powerful meaning behind that promise and how it applies to our lives today is the topic of the Christian Science service at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 5 at 15910 Highway 525, just north of Bayview and across from Useless Bay Road. Everyone is welcome.

What did the sixth generation islander like the best about participating in the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation district’s annual skim boarding program? “I liked the learning,” he said, though surfing the tide flats was pretty fun too. Layman was one of 17 students that participated in Skim Skool, a district pro-
gram put on by the founders of Langley-based Jack’d Skimboards. According to Auston Reisman, one of a handful of company owners, this week’s instruction was the third and final two-day camp of the year. Students spent about half of the first day learning the fundamentals of skim boarding and the other half finetuning their newly acquired skills. Day two is “open
skim,” a chance for more practice. It’s also the perfect time for a pizza party. While the school is largely about passing on a fun sport to the next generation, Reisman said it’s really about having a good time while learning something new. “That’s what we’re all about; having fun, growing the sport and sharing it with as many people as possible,” he said. Emmett’s mother, Molly Layman, said her son has tried his hand at skim boarding before. Reiman and others from Jack’d Skimboards are often at Double Bluff, an ideal place due to the huge tide flats, and they never shy from sharing a few tips with her son. “The guys are super supportive,” Layman said. She passed on kudos to the parks district for sponsoring the program. “Parks and rec is a fabulous part of South Whidbey,” she said.
