Advocates for a unified voice in Clinton will hold a public meeting next week to further discussions about the establishment of a community council. The meeting is being put on by the Community of Clinton organization and is scheduled to take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27, at the Clinton Community Hall at 6411 Central Avenue. Proposed is the formation of a nonprofit group that would act as a singular and unified voice for the area’s central core and its residents, said Sherryl Christie-Bierschenk, a smallbusiness owner and Clinton resident. The idea is to organize the community under a single banner so it can have a say in the area’s future when it comes to decisions made by state and county government and to help provide Clinton with a sense of focus and identify. “Lets create the community we want,” ChristieDavid Welton / The Record Bierschenk said.

ChristieBierschenk, a former chairwoman of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, said she came to realize that Clinton often lacked a consensus or sense of direction when it came to issues of community importance. Hoping to address the problem, she and others worked to set up a three-day conference in January called the Clinton Future Search. More than 70 people attended and together identified eight commonly shared public desires: establishment of a community council, a focus on area beautification, trails and paths, economic development, transportation issues, the construction of a community center, and needed infrastructure and utilities. Committees for each have since been created and some have already produced results, such as the successful, first-ever Thursday market, which was held in July and August. A One Voice committee was also formed and the group this month released a specific proposal on how community council might work. The guiding document can be read at
STORY AND PHOTOS BY BEN WATANABE ere comes the littlest biker gang in town. At 30 strong, the clickclack of changing gears and hum of rubber-on-pavement rises like a symphony tuning up. Then the laughter starts, and the illusion is gone. It’s just a class of Langley Middle School students learning bicycle safety, and in six cases, to ride a bike. “The kids, you see them smiling, they’re trying hard and they’re having fun,” said physical education teacher Rocco Gianni. Thanks to a $23,000 grant, a bunch of volunteers and teachers Erik Jokinen and Gianni, kids at the middle school know how to behave at a four-way stop, proper hand signals and road safety. The South Whidbey school is one of 15 in Washington that are piloting a Washington State Department of Transportation program, which purchased 30 hybrid road-mountain bikes and helmets. The program’s goals are two-fold: teach bike riding safety and promote commuting alternatives to cars and buses. For the two physical education teachers, there’s another crease in the plan: get kids active again. “We want to get them out of their moms’ SUVs and the school buses and onto their bikes, riding to school,” Gianni said. “We’re looking at lifelong activities.” And if the excitement of

Body of missing Business leaders hear from candidates woman found in wilderness By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter The remains believed to be those of a 27-year-old woman last seen a year ago in Freeland were discovered in a wilderness area near Winthrop Sept. 18. The Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office reported this week that two hunters discovered human remains in the Pasayten Wilderness. Officials believe they are the remains of Melissa M. Kerrigan, who had left behind a suicide note. Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office said Kerrigan lived in the Seattle area, but was visiting friends in Freeland in September 2011. The friends reported her missing when she disappeared from their home Sept. 10 without explanation. “They thought she may have been suicidal,” he said. “She left her worldly belongings with friends and took off. It was a pretty good indication.”
Detectives with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated the missing person case. Wallace said they discovered a note she had written to her father; it stated that she was going to the wilderness to end her life, according to a press release from the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office. Kerrigan’s vehicle was found at the Billygoat Trailhead north of Winthrop on Sept. 29, 2011. The area was searched last October, but nothing was found. Hunters discovered the remains about 6.5 miles from the trailhead. Sheriff Frank Rogers with the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office described the areas as having “very nasty terrain with a lot of down fall.” Two deputies hiked the trail with the two hunters and retrieved the remains Tuesday night. They will be sent for DNA testing to verify the identity. Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office notified Kerrigan’s mother, who lives on South Whidbey.

Candidates for state and local races gave their pitches to the business communities on North and South Whidbey this week. The Freeland Chamber of Commerce held its candidate forum and luncheon at the Useless Bay Golf & Country Club. An estimated 45 strong people attended. “That’s an unusual crowd,” said Leanne Finlay, a member of the chamber’s board of directors. “I think people were really interested to hear the candidates. Or they love the chamber.” Narrow in scope, the forum hosted just Helen Price Johnson and Jeff Lauderdale for the position 1 Island County commissioner race. The candidates were quizzed with questions that ranged from the state of the county and their plans to improve its financial position to the need for additional focus on economic development. The meeting did see some fireworks, particularly when the subject of sewers came up, but most of the discussion revolved around the economy. Overall, Finlay said she thought the meeting saw meaningful discussion and was a benefit to South Whidbey voters. “It went really well,” she said.

State representative District 10 incumbent Norma Smith, R-Clinton, shares a laugh with her challenger, Aaron Simpson, D-Langley, at a candidate luncheon. The Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce held its annual candidate luncheon Thursday at the Elks Lodge. The event saw a healthy crowd who heard from candidates running for a variety of open offices. With seven candidates from four different races all crammed in over a lunch hour, each was allowed just three minutes to speak and take a question or two from the crowd. Most didn’t have time to delve into details, instead talking about their backgrounds and hitting broad objectives. But for many in the
crowd, a quick glimpse was enough. It’s not just what candidates say, but also how they say it that matters, said Helen Chatfield-Weeks, an Oak Harbor resident. Al Koetje, a longtime
former mayor for Oak Harbor, was also present at the luncheon and agrees that despite their shortcomings, political forums play a powerful role in the decisionmaking process of voters.

Letters Animal control
‘Mean dog’ is really a sweetie To the editor: The recent dog incident has soured me a bit about Langley. I followed and felt the alarm expressed about the vicious dog roaming the streets on Facebook’s “I Love Langley” site. Imagine my surprise to learn that this horrible, vicious dog was none other than one of the sweetest and gentlest dogs I have ever known. On the day of the Sixth Street incident, a person came to call on the dog owners and left the gate open. The screams and barking alerted the dog owners that Blanca was out. This was not a dog left to roam the streets of Langley. This was a very unfortunate incident. I am so sorry for the woman who was bitten. She was a victim of an unfortunate incident. I don’t minimize this. However, I feel equally sorry for my dear friends, the dog owners. Painted as irresponsible dog owners, the reality is these two individuals are civically, spiritually and community minded. Both retired, they volunteer in various organizations on the island and have done so since arriving here. The community in which they live and support made them a target for a situation that has been present long before they arrived. An ordinance is in place now. If this incident had involved the beloved dog of someone within the long-time residents of Langley, and it could have been, compassion and humanity would have surely been present even in the midst of rallying around the victim that was bitten. To the people who were so outraged, I ask: Wouldn’t it have been kinder to step back and acknowledge together that something terrible has happened here? How can we work together to address this? Wouldn’t it have been more humane and in the spirit of community to have included the dog owners in the dialogue? When I read the “I Love Langley” postings on Facebook these days, I think, “not so much.” Hestia Laitala Langley resident
Mo’s Pub controversy
Big Brother lives in Langley To the editor: Langley, although struggling against a poor economy, is otherwise a vivacious, creative, picturesque destination location. Identified as “destination” means having businesses that
welcome and entertain guests. A compromise where “no one is happy” would be no solution to the current ordinance, which is neither a compromise nor a solution, but rather a conciliatory bone thrown to the neighbors while throwing a business under the bus. The quality of life on Second Street may not be what they expected 20-plus years ago, but Langley is not the sleepy, lesser-known town it once was. Change happens! Growth happens! When you buy a home in the heart of a community with commercial zoning on your street, you have to expect change. Mo’s Pub & Eatery should be allowed to be successful, expand, renovate, thrive, feed and entertain the community like any other business in Langley. Mo’s has made concessions to develop a good neighbor policy. What would the Second Street neighbors have them do? Prohibit success by closing early? They are a pub. They serve alcohol. It is a gathering place for family, friends and neighbors to hang out, reconnect, relax. It’s what they do. Are neighbors willing to offer Maureen Cooke and Bob Trenchard fair market value? Are they willing to pay revenue taxes lost should Mo’s close? Will they find work for 20-plus employees who will lose their jobs?

What about the “neighbors” on First Street that live over businesses? I have been at Prima Bistro many times at night, with music playing, and people on the rooftop having a great time and making noise. Perhaps their neighbors understand? People choosing to live near airports cannot limit how often, what time or how many planes fly overhead. It is about location, and where you choose to live may determine your quality of life. More regulations will not fix the current neighbor dispute. Restricting future businesses with unreasonable zoning/ordinances seems ill-advised, considering the limited geographic area of downtown Langley.

Times about our current county commissioners. One element of their tenure as commissioners that is not mentioned in these opinions is the fact that, through their actions, our current commissioners have not represented the land owners/property taxpayers. These folks are the majority of their constituents. I, for one, find this difficult to understand. We need commissioners who are willing to be more conscious of the hands that pay the taxes. I have heard three different presentations in the last six months concerning county taxes. Each presentation represented a completely different view of how much money is collected related to population and property owners. This tax picture, related to other counties in Washington state, seems to change depending on the interpretation of the individual speaker. We need straight talk on this issue to help voters better understand the real issues. I am voting for Jill Johnson and Jeff Lauderdale in November. They possess the skills to keep decision making better balanced for us all and will preserve the overall cultural and economic environment of our wonderful community. Robert Hunter Freeland

one of the more complicated lessons for the sixth-graders, judging by the frequency of rolling stops, turns into the wrong lane and forgotten hand signals. “Mr. Jokinen, if he’s up here and I’m going right, can we be neck and neck?” asked student Cody Newman. “First come, first serve,” Jokinen told the rotating groups of eight or so students. “We assume as adults that staying on the right side means something,” he said. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that kids do not know that.” Ben Watanabe / The Record

Volunteers Blake and Lynn Willeford, Erin Simms, Julie Buthenica, Doug Allderdice, Shelly Ackerman and Gil Low assisted the three teachers, the other PE instructor was Kathy Gianni. Before the students can cruise Langley’s roads, they needed the basics of biking, like how to change gears. “Do not change gears without paddling,” Jokinen said to the students, all in a row on their bikes. Little slips the teachers’ preparations, which included explaining what a yield sign means. Students were instructed how to adjust their seat to appropriate height, with knees slightly bent with one foot on the pedal in a down position, and to check helmets using the two-finger rule (two fingers between their eyebrows and helmet, two fingers between their chin and strap). Eighth grade students will be eligible to attend extension rides, including some trail biking, during the school year. A bike trailer, also purchased from the grant, allows the school to take students to biking destinations, like the Centennial Trail in Snohomish County and the Burke-Gilman Trail in Seattle. Keep an eye out for the swarm of bikers around Langley in the coming weeks. Hopefully, they learned to look for drivers, too.

might also serve at large, according to Jack Lynch, a retired land-use consultant who served as the group’s chairman. In large part, he said, the group would work to promote a sense of community vision and pride but also ensure that Clinton has a voice in its future, particularly when it comes to decisions made by county and state governments. “As good as a job as (Island County Commissioner) Helen Price Johnson does, it’s not the same as having a voice of the Clinton community,” Lynch said. Price Johnson, who attended the Clinton conference in January, said she supports the idea of residents coming together under a common voice. Working toward common goals and having a stake in your future is both admirable and important, she said. The formation of such a group does not require the green light of the board of commissioners, but Price Johnson said she is giving the proposal her full endorsement. “It’s a worthy idea and something I’m anxious to pursue,” she said. According to Lynch, the meeting next week is meant to gauge support for the idea and discuss the progress of the various committees. Before a council can be formed, bylaws and articles of incorporation need to be drafted and nonprofit status secured. The hope, he said, is to have a council in place as soon as next spring.

Falcon volleyball rebounds, repels Turks in tiebreaker BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter LANGLEY — A little superstition paid off big for the South Whidbey volleyball team. With weary legs after a fifth-set tiebreaker two days earlier, the Falcons rebounded to beat the Sultan Turks in five sets Thursday. The victory was not a given, as South Whidbey dropped the first and fourth sets, leading the Falcons to feel a sense of deja vu. Victory, Falcon head coach Mandy Jones said, was thanks to some lineup changes and new seating assignments (no lucky socks or rabbit feet). “I’m such a superstitious person that we made some changes about where we were sitting on the bench,” Jones said. Four sets into the match, South Whidbey finally found its offensive rhythm. This time, the Falcons finished the match with a dominating 15-4 tiebreaker to end a two-hour match. “Coming into tonight I just wanted to win, and I’m really happy that we did,” said Falcon sophomore Abby Hodson. Jones changed her lineup, inserting junior Chantel Brown at libero. Jones said she needed Brown’s defense, which the junior provided to the tune of 18 digs. “I thought she did a great job back there,” Jones said of Brown. “The problem is Amelia (Weeks) is also a great passer. But everybody can pass the ball, it’s just a matter of getting back to the basics and not getting riled up or nervous.” From the start, the two Cascade Conference teams traded the lead, with five ties in the first set. Sultan (0-5 Cascade Conference; 1-5 overall) pulled ahead 23-18 on an ace by junior libero Breanna Sangder, the Turks’ largest lead of the set.

Falcon sophomore Abby Hodson blocks a tip by Turk sophomore Lalia Gonzalez. Hodson was assisted by sophomore Anne Madsen, who scored four blocks. “It was a little bit frustrating because we were so close and we already fought this hard,” said Falcon junior setter Meagan Longdon. “I think that it took us longer than it needed to be to connect with one another and get up to the momentum of the game.” Three straight kills pulled South Whidbey within two points at 23-21, when Turk head coach Sarita Whitmire-Skeith called a timeout. It worked, as sophomore hitter Anne Madsen served low into the net, a rare missed serve compared to the Falcon’s four aces. Sultan sealed the set with a short tip, 25-21.
Limiting mistakes was crucial to the Falcons’ quick turnaround. Against Lakewood on Tuesday, South Whidbey committed 59 errors and missed 20 serves. During practice Wednesday, Jones showed her team those figures, hoping that once the Falcons saw the volume, they would be compelled to change the trend. The Falcons cut their serving faults in half, missing nine serves against the Turks. South Whidbey had to rally from a four-point deficit early in the second set. The Falcons rattled off five unanswered points on a Madsen tip, a block by sophomore Abby
Hodson, an ace by Mackenzie Hezel, a Madsen block and a Turk error. The Falcon fans stomped and bellowed their rally cry: S, S, S, S-Dub during South Whidbey’s five-point run. “Our theme tonight was passion because I don’t feel like we’re showing a lot of passion why we’re playing this sport,” Jones said. “I told them ‘Talk is cheap; actions speak louder than words.’” The Falcons fought off the Turks and extended their lead out to 17-11. The Turks scored four points, three on Falcon errors, before the Falcons put the set away at 25-20.
Momentum seemed to swing South Whidbey’s way in the third set. Sultan hung around, forcing six ties until South Whidbey broke the game open with five consecutive points to 21-16. Three Turk errors handed the Falcons a 2-1 edge in the match. For the Falcons, it was a positive turnaround from the Tuesday match when they struggled to finish points — an issue that was drilled during practice Wednesday. Sultan outlasted South Whidbey in the fourth set. Tied at 13-13, the Turks pulled ahead six points, four of which were on Falcon errors. Jones saw old habits return to her players: poor communication, positioning and passing. And the Falcon players acknowledged the problems. The hitters were late to the sets, which led to net balls and long shots. “I think it’s our passing and our communication, that’s what’s been missing,” said Longdon, who finished with 24 assists. South Whidbey made a late push to recapture the lead. The Falcons chipped at the lead a point or two at a time, but couldn’t close the gap before Sultan won the set 25-21 and forced a tiebreaker. That funny feeling of reliving a moment crept back for Jones, and she was none too pleased. “I thought I am not going to five and losing again. I can’t do it,” Jones said. “I knew if we could get the serve we could hold onto the lead.” And the Falcons did just that. On the second point, Longdon dropped an ace for a 2-0 lead. Nerves rattled the Turks, who committed three errors, capped by an ace by Hezel, who also scored a team-high 16 kills, for a 6-1 lead. South Whidbey ran away with the fifth set, winning 15-4.

Falcons flow on offense, finish strong over island rivals BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
South Whidbey was coming off three consecutive losses. The Falcons’ offense struggled in those matches, and its defense was blasted for 17 goals in three games. Against the Wolves, the Falcons (1-2 Cascade Conference; 1-3-1 overall) finally got the offense rolling. Pressure early put the Wolves on their heels. A corner kick in the 8th minute by Falcon junior Maia Sparkman dropped for senior Paige Farmer to kick in the goal. Perhaps preoccupied with
COUPEVILLE — South Whidbey’s defense made the mistake, and its defense made the stops Tuesday against Whidbey Island rival Coupeville. The Falcons rebounded from a defensive lapse in the first half and shut out the Wolves for a 3-1 win Tuesday. “We were winning the ball and a lot of the possession was going our way,” said Falcon head coach Ben Rusch.

the previous score, a few minutes later the Wolves got a breakaway goal after Wolf senior forward Madison Tisa-McPhee dribbled past her defender, drew Falcon senior goalie Ellie Greene out and evaded Greene’s slide with a tap to the left and big kick into the net. “Ellie came off the line a little bit late,” Rusch said. Coupeville persisted as the aggressor for the next 15 minutes. The Wolves had a pair of shots on goal that just missed the net either high or wide. Then South Whidbey remembered it was in a rivalry match. The Falcons finished the first half with another five shots, three of which were saved by Wolf keeper McKayla Bailey. The Falcons came out firing in the second half. South Whidbey’s defenders held their shape and cleared the ball to the midfielders and forwards, who pressured Coupeville’s defense in the middle and along the side-

Falcon sophomore forward Kiana Murray entered the game and quickly scored a through ball from senior Hayley Newman. Late in the match, Sparkman scored on a free kick over a wall of Coupeville players. “It was a really physical game,” Rusch said. “We were getting knocked around a little bit.” Lakewood flipped the score on Thursday, beating South Whidbey 3-1. “It was a game we could
have won,” Rusch said. South Whidbey struck first in the 20th minute. Grimm threw in the ball past the defenders, which allowed Murray to get a good look and score her second goal of the season. Lakewood scored in the final seconds of the first half. The Cougars barraged Greene in the goal, and on the second deflection kicked it in for a 1-1 tie at halftime. In the second half, the Cougars added two more
goals. “People were getting hit and kicked and pushed,” Rusch said. “They were just relentless.” South Whidbey played without four starters: senior Sienna Schaal, junior Jaime Rodden, Farmer and freshman Kenda Warwick. Rusch said he will work on coaching the Falcons to pressure the other team up the field and not allow the other team to possess the ball.

quick turnaround against Coupeville for a 4-1 victory. Only two days after losing to the Wolves 3-2, the Falcons reshuffled their lineup for a near sweep against their Whidbey Island rivals. “I’m happy that lots of our players are getting varsity experience,” said
Falcon head coach Karyle Kramer. “JV teams are mostly playing doubles, learning and improving and winning quite a bit as well.” Falcon senior Guy Sparkman returned to first singles and defeated Nathan Lamb, 6-4, 6-3. Moving down from first singles, sophomore Charley Stelling lost a third set tiebreaker to Aaron Curtin. Coupeville’s No. 2 singles player won the first set 6-3. Stelling rebounded in the second set and forced the tiebreaker, which Curtin won 10-8. In doubles, South End cousins Taylor Simmons and Jonathon Peterson beat Coupeville tandem of Ben Wehrman and Jason Knoll, 6-4, 6-1. At second doubles, Falcon seniors Cameron Baldwin and Mitchell Hughes defeated Wolves Brian Norris and Brandon Kelley, 3-6, 6-4, 10-8 tiebreaker. Falcons Jack Hood and Nathan Riley dropped Wolves Ben Etzel and Sebastian Davis, 6-3, 6-4.

Genealogical Society’s website earns best in state honor

BY CANDACE ALLEN Special to the Record The Genealogical Society of South Whidbey Island won the 2012 Best in State award for its website. Forty societies competed for the honor, which was presented at the Washington State Genealogical Society’s annual convention on Sept. 8 in Port Townsend. Web designer Nancy Hepp of Clinton created the site’s design using sepia colored 19th and early 20th century photos, many from Genealogical Society members’ family collections. Bob Richardson, president of the society, added much of the site’s functionality. “I wanted the site to be easy to read and attractive, generating with people a curiosity and engagement with the past,” Hepp said. “Use of the photographs and related stories lends itself naturally to getting people to ask, ‘What about my family?’” For Hepp, genealogy is more than lists of names and dates. It’s the stories that bring it alive. The society has collected and scanned virtually all obituaries of Island County residents from the 1890s through December 2010, at which time the local newspapers began publishing obituaries online. Search access to the collection of 23,447 obituaries is available at www.gsswi.org. The website uses phonetic matching of names, which increases the

OBITUARY John Joseph Sheppard March 15, 1921 – August 1, 2012 John Joseph Sheppard Jr. was born in New Orleans, the eldest son of John Joseph Sheppard, Sr. and Helen Bernice Minning. He was the first in his family to attend or graduate from college, receiving one of the first state-sponsored scholarships in the nation and graduating from Tulane University with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Following graduation he relocated to Seattle, Washington, where he had a 42-year career with Boeing Aircraft Company: He began as a flight test engineer on the development team for the B17 and B29, and concluded as Engineering Static Test Laboratories Manager for the Boeing Aerospace Division, where he worked on the Minuteman, Apollo, and Lunar Rover projects. In 1942 he briefly returned to New Orleans and married Rita Margaret de Russy, his childhood sweetheart, best friend and partner for 65 years. Together they returned to Seattle where they raised their family. He had a lifelong love of the waters and seashores of Wash., first as an avid boater cruising Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands, and later as a waterfront resident of Sandy Hook on Whidbey Island, where he retired in 1984 to enjoy a wonderful and active retirement with
John Joseph Sheppard Rita until her death in 2007. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, relishing above all the many happy times spent with his family at Whidbey Island. In their retirement he and Rita cruised much of the world, enjoyed golf, beachcombing, clamming, crabbing, and just sitting on the deck together gazing at the sunsets over his beloved Cultus Bay. John was a traditional, rugged individualist who valued his independence. He lived on his own at Sandy Hook until his brief final illness. He is survived by his brother Howard in Louisiana, sons Steven (Susan) and Kenneth (Linda), as well as grandchildren Kyle Sheppard, Kelsey Garner (and Eric), Paul Sheppard (Jennifer Hohnstein), Anne Sheppard (Bagheera Latimer), and great grandchild Noel Garner. John lived a long, productive and rewarding life, and will be fondly remembered as the patriarch and foundation of the Sheppard family in Washington.

Jazz in the Whidbey woods

Musician, singer and songwriter Maureen Girard performs at her CD release concert in 2011. Girard will host a House Concert series featuring Women in Jazz beginning Saturday, Sept. 29 at her Langley studio.
Maureen Girard puts jazzy spin on house concert series By KATHY REED Staff reporter Tucked away in a little corner of the woods just outside Langley is an old chicken coop. Although it’s been a very long time since this coop has seen any chickens, you could say it’s seen its share of songbirds. Remodeled years ago, the long, narrow space is now home to 88 Keys Piano Studio and Performance Space. Two grand pianos sit side by side at the far end, which is where you’ll usually find owner and musician Maureen Girard. “Music is the truest expression of myself,” she said. “It’s who I am, what I’m meant to be.” Girard, who began playing the piano even before she began taking formal lessons at age 7, has never stopped trying to perfect her craft. She won a scholarship to study at Willamette University in Salem, Ore., after a professor heard her play and suggested she audition. She transferred to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, where she made connections with Seattle musicians who are still friends today. Those connections, as well as her considerable talent, led to an invitation for Girard to
appear at the first ever Seattle Women in Jazz Festival to be held in April 2013. In celebration of the Seattle event, Girard, who has done “House Concerts” at her studio for several years, has put together her own Women in Jazz series, the first of which will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29 at 88 Keys Piano Studio. The House Series will begin with, appropriately enough, the Maureen Girard Trio, featuring Girard on vocals and piano, Thomas Marriott on trumpet and flugelhorn and Brian Kirk on drums and vibes. Other artists to be featured in the series include jazz pianist Karin Kajia and vocalist Emily McIntosh in October and award-winning jazz vocalist Gail Peters in November. An especially sweet treat next spring will be vocalist Sue Bell, who will give a Valentine’s House Concert on Feb. 16. “These are people you’d see in the finest jazz clubs,” Girard said. “It’s the highest standard of music out there.” And the most varied. Jazz can include bits and pieces of many different genres of music. “Jazz is very broad,” said Girard. “I don’t just play jazz, either. It can be classical, country,
blues. I play many different styles.” A big part of what Girard does these days is teach. She sees about 25 students a week, a responsibility she takes seriously. “It’s so amazing. A good teacher in your life can make a difference,” she said. “I still keep in touch with students I had 20 years ago.” Girard, who credits that professor who heard her play long ago with fueling the fire for music already inside her, said she can also teach her students tenacity. “Don’t give up, I tell them,” Girard said. “I’ve taken the opportunities I’ve been given and run with them and worked hard. “I decided long ago that I would either make it as a musician or die trying,” she continued. “That’s a good quality to have, I think, and to pass along.” In the same spirit, Girard is planning a future workshop for women and girls in jazz, although a date hasn’t been set. “I’m an advocate of empowering women and girls. I’ve been able to use the skills I have to express myself,” she said. “It’s a great thing to be able to share with other people and my students.” Anyone interested in sharing the jazz

Old school’s new life prompts edible memories If you’ve been driving in and out of Langley lately, on Langley Road, you may have noticed the unusual amount of activity in and around the old Langley High School building, perhaps wondering
what was going on. After years of standing empty, used as a storehouse for all manner of unused and/or unwanted “stuff,” the old school has found a new life. Kids scurry in and out,

surprised at what you’d find. Ballet slippers, tights and tutus, leotards, sweat pants, tank tops and tap shoes. Yes, tap shoes. That’s what’s in my locker right now, and yes, I’m happily back in a schoolroom attending classes, tap classes, in the old Langley High School. Five or six weeks ago, Island Dance Studio agreed to lease the building from the school district, and after a lot of hard work from a lot of people, the classrooms have been transformed into studios where dancers from the age of five to … well, never mind how old some of us are, can learn and practice. One of the women in our adult tap class told me, with a huge smile, that she is now dancing in the same room where she tried to learn math from a teacher named “Coach” Leierer, more than 20 years ago. (I promised I wouldn’t say exactly how many years ago.) Mr. Leierer was obviously not

only a math teacher but athletic coach as well, and also taught driver’s education, which I’m told he still does, by the way. On Aug. 6, first day of tapping in that room, Teddy (whose in-school name was Theresa) wore her Langley High School letter sweater, looking as if it was only yesterday that she last wore it, and it seemed the perfect touch for opening day of the “new” old school. I’m sure you’ve read, as I have, that dancing is one of the top doctor recommended exercises, not just for its physical benefits, but for the mental challenge as well. Learning dance steps and routines, it turns out, is excellent exercise for your brain, so if you’ve ever wanted to put on tap shoes and make all that noise with your feet, think about going back to school, Langley High School. There is an adult beginner class just starting, and I can guarantee you’ll be addicted to what I call the “tapping high.” There is no better cure for the doldrums, blues or general malaise than an hour or more of dancing.
It’s not all about dancing, however; classes in yoga, tai chi, gymnastics, break dancing (for guys) are going on at various times, and preparation for the annual presentation of “The Nutcracker” has already begun. Registration is still open, by the way, should you be interested in any of these. Call 341-1282, or stop in at the school office, straight down the stairs from the entrance, for more information and/or to sign on. If any of you reading this today are alumni of Langley High School, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that it is back in action, doing what it was built for so long ago, providing a cheerful place for students to learn. Please feel free to pop in and have a look around and, yes, wear your letter sweater, if you’re so inclined.

kitchen with a gorgeous view at Bush Point. She has shared recipes with me over the years, all good, but this one is over the top. If you’re diabetic or trying to lose weight, don’t even read this recipe. I don’t make it often because I can’t stop eating it when I do.
TEDDY’S SNICKER SALAD 1-2 Snickers candy bars 2 (or more) dark chocolate Heath Bars 1 container of Cool Whip 2-3 crisp tart apples, such as Granny Smith, cored and chopped bite size Pinch or two of cinnamon and/or nutmeg (to taste) Other optional ingredients, such as coconut, diced maraschino cherries, small pineapple chunks, etc. Freeze the candy bars ahead of salad making time. When ready to make salad, put candy bars in a plastic bag and pound with a rolling pin or meat mallet, into small pieces. Put cool whip in chilled salad bowl; add cinnamon/nutmeg, candy bar chunks, apple pieces, and any other ingredients of choice. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve. Back when Home Ec. was still being taught in high school, one of the first things we all learned to make in the cooking classes were muffins. In one very old file, in my possession I still have my handwritten basic muffin recipe from Home Ec. I promise, the recipe that follows is not that recipe (although the old one isn’t so different from this one, except for a couple of ingredients.) This is one way to make good use of one or more of your zucchinis.
ZUCCHINI MUFFINS 2 cups sugar 1 cup vegetable oil 4 large eggs ½ t. vanilla 1 t. baking powder 1 t. baking soda 1 t. salt 1 t. cinnamon 3 cups unbleached allpurpose flour 2 cups grated or finely chopped zucchini 1 cup chopped walnuts ½-1 cup raisins (dark or golden), or currants; or Craisins, your preference Line muffin tins with papers or grease cups.

tins; this recipe makes two dozen muffins. You can make as few as you wish, however, and refrigerate the batter to use within the next 4-5 days. In large mixer bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla about 1 min. at high speed, until mixture is smooth and somewhat lighter in color. Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, beating to combine. With mixer on low (so you don’t flour your entire kitchen), gradually add the flour, beating just until smooth. Add zucchini, nuts and raisins or currants. Divide the batter among prepared muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven 25 to 30 min., or until a tester inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Remove tins from the oven and allow to sit a couple of minutes, then gently lift and tilt muffins in the cups so the bottoms don’t get soggy. As soon as they’re cool enough to handle, remove to a rack to cool. Makes 24 or so muffins.

I hate it when this happens, but thanks to a reader who made the wonderful caramel apple squares recipe that appeared a couple of weeks ago, then emailed to say there seemed to be a problem, I realized the amount of butter was incorrect and I failed to note it before publication. With apologies to any of you who made these and wondered why they didn’t turn out quite right (tasty but dry), please try again with ¾ cup butter, instead of the ¼ cup in the paper’s version. As reader Julie Joselyn said, “more butter is always more better.”

Saturday, September 22, 2012 • The South Whidbey Record
Country club fundraiser has teacher hearing music BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter USELESS BAY — A few hours of live tunes and dancing has one South Whidbey Elementary School teacher hearing music again. Kimmer Morris, the elementary school music teacher, just increased the school’s music budget 12 times. And it’s all thanks to a recent fundraiser at Useless Bay Golf & Country Club, which brought in $1,839 to support kindergarten through fifth-grade students learning music. “I was pleased the members were extra generous,” Morris said. “I got to dance all night. It was a really fun time.” Even country club members who did not attend the “Concert on the Green” called in after hearing the band One-Eyed Jack. That’s a credit to both the members and the
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Kimmer Morris accepts a check from Bill Davis, the general manager of Useless Bay Golf & Country Club. A fundraiser brought in almost $1,900 for the elementary school music program. club’s social committee, chaired by Dave Johnson and assisted
by Paul Schuller. The committee planned the event, paid for the
band and publicized the night with fellow members to help revitalize a shrinking music program — its non-employee budget was cut to $250 this year — at the elementary school. “This way they can get the piano tuned now, buy a couple instruments,” said Bill Davis, the club’s general manager. The increased budget will pay for more than a tuned piano. Morris said those funds will cover the costs of xylophone maintenance, new xylophones, a music magazine subscription with CDs, a talent show at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts and time to organize a trip for fifth graders to see the Seattle Symphony. “That’s hours and hours of permission forms,” Morris said. About 100 people attended the fundraiser. Country club member
Gary Roth built and dismantled the stage for the event on the patio near the practice putting green, which was roped off so heels wouldn’t puncture the neatly manicured turf. “We’re trying to do more things for the community,” Davis said. If the fundraiser wasn’t a start, then its youth programs certainly were. The country club has opened its pool the past few summers to the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District for swimming lessons taught by Kristi Eager. Useless Bay also hosts South Whidbey High School’s golf teams as a practice facility and at least two meets each spring. Next year, Davis said he would again like to host a music fundraiser. For now, Morris was beaming about the extra music funding.
