Langley Mayor Kwarsick faces criminal charge Arraignment set for Monday BY JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter The mayor of Langley has been charged with a crime that may spell the end of his career in politics. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks filed one count of “false report by a public officer” against Mayor Larry Kwarsick in Island County Superior Court on Thursday. Kwarsick allegedly broke the law when he was serving as director of community planning in Langley last year. He’s accused of backdating a document to make it appear that it was written by a predecessor. The Notice of Decision improperly eliminated permit requirements on his stepdaughter’s home construction project, according to court documents. Kwarsick is accused of knowingly making “a false or misleading statement in any official report or statement,” under the definition of the charge. If convicted, Kwarsick would have to forfeit his office and would be permanently disqualified from holding public office in the state, according to court documents. The charge is a gross misdemeanor and punishable with up to 364 days in jail and a $5,000 fine. Kwarsick, 65, is scheduled to appear in court for arraignment Monday. Banks said he expects the case will be resolved at that time, though he wouldn’t disclose the terms of the potential settlement. Langley Councilman Hal Seligson, the mayor pro tem, said the council will hold a special meeting Tuesday to discuss how to move forward. He said he plans to ask the city attorney to explain the process of replacing

Board approves two school levy proposals BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter LANGLEY — Money, buildings and student well-being were emotional topics ahead of the South Whidbey School District’s approval of two levies. Parents, teachers, the superintendent and the school board argued over the essence of school funding. They circled and finally hit the issue at hand — what to do with Langley Middle School — and the answer was to keep it as it is, at its own facility, separate from the elementary and high schools and the rest of the district’s operations on Maxwelton Road. The school board unanimously approved the capital/technology levy and maintenance and operations levy Wednesday night. Heading into the business meeting the only obstacle to a
time, but I’m confident we are going to pull through as a community and do the right
5-0 vote in favor was Board Member Jill Engstrom, who objected to the capital/technology levy because the district had not addressed what the funds were planned for, to her liking. “Due to the presentation by Dan (Poolman, assistant superintendent), I’m supportive of it,” Engstrom said. “It makes more sense to me now.” The capital levy figures to bring in $1.2 million annually for the next six years. Poolman gave an approximate levy rate of $50 per $100,000 of assessed property value, but the rate is a moving target as the district will ask, by state law, for the fixed amount of $1.2 million. The rate will vary with property values. A seven-page document was prepared by the district’s administration and presented to the board and the public at the meeting. It laid out maintenance plans for each of the district’s facilities on a six-year timetable. The more urgent the repair or upgrade, the earlier in the levy funding it would be addressed.

thing,” Seligson said. Kwarsick is well-known throughout Whidbey Island. He previously worked as the Island County public works director and the planning director. He is currently under contract as the planning director in Coupeville and was also the contracted planning director in Langley before running unopposed for mayor last year. He runs a land-use consulting firm called Sound Planning Services. The Island County Prosecutor’s Office started looking into the case after current Langley Planning Director Jeff Arango discovered the paperwork irregularity because of a public information request from South Whidbey blogger Skip Demuth. Arango made a whistleblower’s complaint to the Langley City Council. The council, in turn, asked the prosecutor to look into the matter. Banks said he convened a Special Inquiry Judge, but he didn’t end up taking testimony in the secretive procedure designed to protect witnesses. He said the city employees were willing to speak with Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office, so it wasn’t necessary. The special inquiry judge did, however, issue subpoenas for documents and computers at Langley City Hall, as well as Kwarsick’s computer at his Langley home. The case surrounds a property on Minnie Lane that is largely wetland. In 2006 — before he became planning director — Kwarsick was acting as the agent for his stepdaughter, Emmy Atwood, and her husband in obtaining development permits for construction of a home in the sensitive area. As part of the permitting process, the city approved a Wetland Mitigation Plan that Kwarsick submitted. It required a 10-year monitoring plan, annual reports for nine See Mayor, A13

Port signs cell tower lease, declines land sale BY JIM LARSEN Record editor
Two no’s and a yes combined to keep opponents of a cellular phone tower at Possession Point from getting their way at a Port of South Whidbey meeting Tuesday night. The “no’s” were aimed at proposals from Clyde and Marcia Monma, who live near the ridge on which the tower would be sited, to purchase two parcels of land from the port for a combined $250,000. That way they could stop the tower, which they worry about for its visual and possible safety and health effects, while donating the land to an entity that would keep it as park property forever. The Monmas were not present, but were represented by real estate agent Charlene Arnold. She had little opportunity to speak as the commissioners quickly voted 3-0 to approve leasing the cell tower property to AT&T. The land parcels, labeled A and B, run from the top of the ridge to the lower portion, which borders the parking lot at the port’s Possession Beach Waterfront Park. The lower portion was quickly discounted. “We cannot sell that parcel,” Commissioner Curt Gordon told an audience member. “I didn’t believe we could sell the property. That has been confirmed,” added Commissioner Chris Jerome,
alluding to an opinion from the port’s attorney. First, it hasn’t been surplused, and second it has “encumbrances” that give it official uses as park property. As for the upper portion near the proposed cell tower, “that has been surplused,” Gordon said, alluding to a decision several years ago to perhaps sell the forested 10 acres. However, Commissioner Dennis Gregoire, who is the port’s liaison with the county’s planning processes, told the crowd of a dozen or more that the surplus property may have a future port use, particularly since the county is making access to waterfront property a priority. The port could plan accordingly in its update of its own comprehensive plan, he said. Commissioner Gordon concurred. “We need to readdress the fact we surplused this property,” he said. “We need to put it in the (comprehensive) plan.” When the commissioners talked specifically about the AT&T cell tower lease, they wasted no time. Port Manager Ed Field said AT&T had supplied all the necessary paperwork. Gregoire, Gordon and Jerome all voted in favor of the lease, which would bring in about $13,000 annually to the port’s coffers. Gordon argued the money will actually enhance the park, making it financially

PORT Port considers air space donation The Port of South Whidbey is considering granting an “air space” easement to Paul and Pam Schell who own property adjacent to the port’s Langley Marina. A draft document granting the air space was presented at Tuesday’s port meeting but not acted upon. President Curt Gordon suggested checking with the state RCO office, which helped
F
acquire the marina property, and further legal review before proceeding. The Schells, who have an interest in the nearby Boatyard Inn, are trying to build a house next to the marina. The document doesn’t say how much air space they need, but Ed Field, port manager, said earlier it’s only about 18 inches above the edge of the port’s property. There would be no charge. The draft document states the space would be granted in appreciation of the Schells’ unsolicited donation of tidelands “without the promise of anything of value in return,” in

2009. The donation was made as partners in the Boatyard Inn. Field estimated they gave 50,000 square feet of tidelands to the port to help with the marina expansion effort. If the air space is granted, use of the property underneath would not change. It would remain in use for parking and recreational marina-related activities allowed by state grant funding, according to the document.
FERRY Mukilteo parking unlikely soon More parking in Mukilteo for people want-
ing to walk on the ferry and visit Whidbey Island likely won’t be happening soon, according to Curt Gordon, president of the Port of South Whidbey. He and Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick visited Mukilteo Mayor Joe Marine last month to discuss the island’s parking needs. Commuters and visitors have had trouble finding parking spaces, particularly since Mukilteo took over the former state park next to the ferry terminal. A letter from Marine to Kwarsick dated Nov. 21 said, “We are encouraged by your enthusiasm to look for an interim joint project and share in longterm solutions for parking in Mukilteo that serves

Whidbey Island and the Mukilteo Multimodal Project.” Langley wanted to start with some parking spaces so people could catch a van in Clinton that would take them to Langley. Marine went on to cite the old Air Force tank farm property as future parking once it’s transferred to the Port of Everett. Sound Transit has already installed some parking there and wants more. Marine stated a parking feasibility study will begin in 2013 to study parking for commuters and Mukilteo waterfront and business users. “We applaud the city of Langley for being foresighted enough to apply for a grant for funding an interim solution with van service from Clinton to Langley,” Marine wrote. However, Gordon said the van approach may be long in coming because Langley did not place high on the grant funding priorities list. “They’re not on top and the chance of funding is not really good,” he said. Still, he added, “I’m begging them for a few dedicated spaces” for people wanting to walk on a ferry to visit Whidbey. “It’s maybe five to six years down the road.”

In our opinion
Holidays take to our stages One of the greatest things about living on South Whidbey is our theatrical community and the untold thousands of hours put in by hundreds of actors, dancers, directors and stage hands to bring magic to our holiday season. Where else can one find three fine holiday stage productions within city blocks of each other, if we had city blocks. The amazing Charlene Brown is finishing her 20th year leading “The Nutcracker,” with its final showings this weekend at the South Whidbey High School Auditorium. This incredible production annually features our finest artists of virtually all disciplines and should not be missed. For tickets call 341-2221 or visit www.widt online.org. Meanwhile, “Scrooge, The Musical,” has been entertaining crowds at WICA in Langley, featuring a cast of extremely talented locals dedicated to putting on a show of professional quality. We can always count on WICA Executive Director Stacie Burgua and her talented minions to make the holidays memorable. The final show is tonight so get your tickets early. Visit tickets@wica online.com or call 221-8268. The theater is located at 565 Camano Ave. in Langley. Joining the holiday fun is Whidbey Children’s Theater, founded many years ago by Martha Murphy and still very much contributing to South Whidbey’s cultural scene. These talented children are presenting Roald Dahl’s “Willy Wonka Junior” through Dec. 22, with shows Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. For tickets, call 221-2282. Their theater is located on Anthes Avenue in Langley. We are indeed blessed to have the dedicated people necessary to keep the theatrical arts alive in our community, not only for audiences but for performers. For every child viewer that gets a lifetime of memorable images implanted in their minds, there is another child learning to dance, sing, speak clearly in front of an audience, and work seamlessly with others. The performing arts are an integral part of our community. It’s unfortunate that the Great Recession and the accompanying great migration from our schools has made it hard to keep a high-level arts program continuing in our schools, but the community is helping there, too, with an artist in residence program and other efforts. The arts have had an immeasurably positive impact in this community for several decades now. Help keep it going by attending one or more of our holiday shows this weekend and next.

require hiring people to separate recycle materials which individuals now do voluntarily. How does this make any sense? Curbside recycling in unincorporated Island County may have unintended consequences. If this proposal becomes law, some will discontinue Island Disposal service and will make dump runs as necessary to dispose of trash. If a significant number of residents drop residential trash pickup, the cost for residential service could increase for those remaining since the cost of trucks and drivers is relatively fixed. We do not want to leave Island Disposal. We think they provide good service at a fair price, but we will not willingly buy a service that we do not need or want! Dick and Joan Caldwell Island County
Curbside recycling long overdue To the editor: In Washington state the recycle rate is 49 percent. But here on Whidbey Island,
with all our do-gooders and everyone saying we live in such a special place, it’s a disappointing 32 percent. Whidbey is surrounded by counties with curbside. Snohomish County, Skagit County, Jefferson County and San Juan County have all voted for curbside recycling. Camano Island and the city of Oak Harbor have curbside recycling. Coupeville is about to start picking it up at the curb. Why does the rest of Whidbey Island keep voting it down? Curbside recycling is how cities and counties increase their recycle rate. Curbside recycling on Whidbey is long overdue. People think it will be too expensive and I can understand the families that are having a hard time making ends meet. But the ones who have the most garbage for pickup will benefit the most and here’s how. If you put two garbage cans out on the curb for weekly pickup, you are currently paying $25.12 a month. If we get curbside recycling it will cost about $11 more, totaling $36.12 a month. But if you separate the garbage from the recy-

If you need help doing this call the WSU Waste Wise program coordinator who would be happy to help you. Or check out the DVD from the library called “Slash the Trash and Save Some Cash” (part of the Sustainable Living Seminar Series). Recycling makes “cents.” For those who haul your garbage and recyclables to the county collection sites, you can save money on gas and vehicle maintenance. Save the time it takes to sort it and haul it to the dump. It will cost you more for the convenience of having curbside, but you’ll save room by removing all the separate containers in the garage, or worry about the garbage spilling in your car, or lids flying out of the back of your truck, or pay for the gas at about $4 per gallon. All the recyclables will go into one container, except glass. Glass is the troublemaker of recyclables. It’s heavy so it costs more to transport, and it breaks, which clogs the recycling equipment and cuts paper fibers. Removing glass from the recycle container makes the other recyclables more valuable. If you’re a really good do-gooder you will haul your glass to recycle centers separately. Or you could throw it in the garbage. Glass comes from sand. It’s non-toxic and won’t harm the environment unless it’s mixed into recyclables. Curbside recycling has come up for a vote by the county commissioners before, but this time it will pass with your support. And when it does I will celebrate with all of those who voted for it by raising my aluminum can high in salute. Join me on Thursday, Dec. 20, at 1 p.m. at the county commissioners’ meeting room to urge them to vote yes for curbside.

Wrestling falls to Lakewood BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter
LANGLEY — Wrestling coach Jim Thompson hates losing. He was especially flummoxed after his South Whidbey Falcons fell to Lakewood, 52-30. It was the first time in more than a decade that Lakewood defeated South Whidbey. “I’m frustrated,” Thompson said. “It’s just our technique right now. We’re just not very good.” Lakewood started with an advantage. South Whidbey forfeited the lightweights at 106 and 110 pounds. Even in the contested weights, the Falcons didn’t put up nearly enough fight. The Cougars pinned the Falcons in the 120-, 126-, 132and 138-pound bouts. A common mistake was the Falcons rolling onto their backs as they attempted a reversal — a cardinal sin in wrestling, especially under Thompson’s tutelage. “They forgot their moves,” said Falcon senior Pat Monell. “They were timid.” Andy Madsen, a junior, gave the Falcons their first victory in the 145. Madsen wore down Lakewood’s George Treml through two rounds before securing a pin 17 seconds in the third round. “I’m running the arms well and keeping my base a lot better this year,” said Madsen, who has lost only one match this season in the

South Whidbey’s seniors filled out the middle weights. James Itaya lost 13-0 to Lakewood’s Cameron Wheeler. Jake Leonard took a forfeit in the 170.

Falcon junior Jose Chavez was pinned in 2:20 as he attempted to spin out of a hold. “I don’t know what he did out there,” Thompson said. “I have never seen anything like that in my life.

Roehl Round-Ball Classic returns The third annual Tom Roehl Round-Ball Classic is set for Saturday, Dec. 22. The all-island tournament raises money for the Tom Roehl Memorial Scholarship. In November, there was the Tom Roehl Turkey Bowl, a fiveon-five football tournament
LANGLEY — There was an unscheduled clinic on how, and how not, to play basketball Tuesday night. Cedarcrest’s girls team pressed South Whidbey from the opening play and never quit. The Red Wolves drove to the basket and were rewarded with 20 trips to the free throw line, where they hit 14. South Whidbey turned the ball over almost every way it could: offensive foul, five-second violation and the classic poor pass. The result was a 64-26 shellacking that made the referees initiate the running clock mercy rule in the fourth quarter. “We didn’t play our best defense,” said Falcon senior Annalies Schuster, who scored six points. “Just not full effort.” While the Falcons’ offense sputtered, so went their defense. A common play for the Red Wolves was to grab a rebound off a missed Falcon shot, throw across midcourt to the outlet guard for an easy layup. It worked well enough for Red Wolves junior guard Kalee Fowler, who poured in a gamehigh 20 points. Fouls dictated the game early. A pair of fouls put Falcon point guard Madi Boyd on the bench. By the end of the first quarter, South Whidbey trailed 17-7 and wracked up eight team fouls. South Whidbey tried to fight back early in the second quarter. The Falcons scored on back-to-back possessions and kept the Red Wolves scoreless on three shots at the hoop. Sophomore Anne Madsen drove to the basket and nailed a layup to cut the lead to single digits. Schuster stole the ball on defense that led to senior Hayley Newman being fouled on a layup attempt. Newman, who scored a team-high eight points, converted both free throws. Falcon senior Ellie Greene took a charge on defense that seemed to inspire her teammates. Schuster banked in a layup off the square on a baseline pass that cut the lead
that raised $500 for the scholarship fund. The goal with the basketball games is to raise another $1,000. Organizers of the Roehl Classic thanked Jason Joiner and Windermere Property Management, Schisel Construction, Harada Physical Therapy and DCG engineering, Sherman Farms, Ashley’s Designs and R&R Tree Service. Team registration can be found at www.sports4e.com/ seasons/2012-tom-roehl-roundball-classic and is open until Dec. 21. Teams are asked for a donation of $125 which can be made online. Games run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 22. The length of each game will vary depending on the number of teams that register.

Falcon sophomore Anne Madsen runs into a pair of Red Wolves defenders on Tuesday. to six points. But the Red Wolves’ fierce rebounding and defense wore down the Falcons, and 19-13 was the closest South Whidbey came to the lead. “It’s just that their shots went in and ours didn’t,” Schuster said. At halftime, the Falcons had committed 18 turnovers against the Red Wolves’ three. Cedarcrest returned from the break determined to throttle South Whidbey and continued its press defense and transition offense. The Red Wolves scored 23 points in the third quarter. The Falcons mustered only six. The referees instituted the running clock mercy rule at the start of the fourth quarter. Only time outs and injuries stopped the clock, and mercifully for South Whidbey, the final buzzer.
The tentative scheduled is for three, 15-minute games for seeding, then 25-minute games in a single elimination tournament. Individuals without a team are asked to email nroehl@ tjroehl.com. For additional information related to the scholarship and events, visit www.tjroehl.org.
Hitch a ride to snowy activity The SnowRider has returned to take skiers and snowboarders and other snow-loving folks up to the mountains. The bus is scheduled to take people up to Stevens Pass on Saturdays from Jan. 5 to Feb. 23. As part of the South
Whidbey Parks & Recreation District, organizers described the program as one that focuses on safety with chartered buses, drivers in winter conditions and chaperones. Youths 10 years and older are welcome to ride along, too. The season fee costs $310 plus tax through Dec. 15, or $290 if catching the bus from Everett. That fee covers only the travel, and lift tickets are additional, but discounted between 20 percent and 40 percent through the SnowRider program. Reserve a spot on the bus online at www.swparks.org or call Carrie Monforte at 221-6788.

There’s still time to prepare something special WHIDBEY RECIPES
Margaret Walton
There always seems to come that moment in time, leading up to Christmas, when you know it’s not all going to get done, or at least not the way you hoped, imagined and planned it. That moment is just around the corner, I think; too many things on the list, too little time to make them all happen. For example, I just crossed “chocolate truffles” off my To-Do list, reluctantly. For many years, during the
last 10 days or so before Christmas, I’ve made dozens of chocolate truffles to give to family when we gather for Christmas. It’s a time consuming, painstaking procedure, but one I love and look forward to every year, as do the recipients. Never mind the reasons, but I’ve come to the realization that those truffles are out this Christmas. That doesn’t mean, however, that the notion of giving something homemade to those closest to my heart

is abandoned. I have long believed that something special you take the time to make as a Christmas (or Hanukkah) gift is far preferable to something you dashed out and bought because you had to find “something” for whomever. That’s precisely why I have one file reserved solely for recipes I consider worth making as gifts for people I care about a great deal. Not just Christmas gifts, but birthdays, anniversaries, special occasions of all kinds. Most of them are for such things as candies of various sorts, special occasion cakes and cookies, unusual breads, “different” jams and jellies (jalapeno marmalade made it into the file this past summer), and of course, any unusual cheesecake, my number one favorite food. When I decided “no truffles this year,” out came that file and in it, right on top of the fat pile, was a recipe I’d asked my niece for after
I ate the contents of a small gift box she left me with after our family gathering this past summer. She, too, is a practitioner of the “homemade gifts are the best presents” school of thought. As it turned out, she found the recipe in a bon appetite magazine (how did I ever miss it, I wondered) and uses it frequently. I’d forgotten about it until, desperate for inspiration for my homemade Christmas giving, I opened that file. The point of all this? Don’t give up; there is still time to make something special for someone special, even truffles.
RECIPES Here it is, my niece’s truffle recipe, via bon appetite; these are sturdier, much faster and easier to make than my hand-dipped, dark chocolate truffles and equally as delicious (well, almost). And this recipe makes enough truffles in just one

batch for you to give as gift boxes or bags to anywhere from 6 to 10 people, depending upon your generosity with the contents.
BUTTERFINGER TRUFFLES 10 oz. semisweet chocolate (don’t go higher than about 62 percent cacao), chopped 1 T. unsalted butter 1 cup heavy cream 1 ½ cups chopped Butterfinger candy bars 4 t. unsweetened cocoa powder (please use a top quality powder) Chopped roasted unsalted peanuts or peanut halves (niece also occasionally uses chopped toasted almonds) Put chocolate and butter in a bowl. Bring cream to boil in a small saucepan; pour over the chocolate/butter and let stand for 1 min. then stir until the chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in the chopped candy; cover and chill until firm, about 2 hrs. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Using a melon baller, scoop ¾-inch balls (or heaping teaspoons) of the chocolate, rolling the balls quickly between your palms to make them smooth, and place on the cookie sheet. Put cocoa powder into a small bowl; roll the truffles in the cocoa powder to coat them, return to baking sheet, then sprinkle with chopped nuts or peanut half. Refrigerate and chill until firm. Store airtight between sheets of waxed paper and keep chilled until ready to use. Makes about 80 truffles. Note: For gifting, put truffles into small paper or foil candy cups; put in small boxes or in those decorative cellophane bags and tie with appropriate ribbon. If you’re having a holiday party, these are a very nice little gift to hand to your guests as they leave. As long as we’re on the subject of candies for gifts, let’s talk about just about everyone’s beloved sweet, caramels. This recipe for hazelnut caramels was given to me by my son, who made them almost every year on his birthday, which was Christmas Eve, but had trouble giving them away because he loved caramels more than any other candy. They’re not difficult; the recipe makes a lot of caramels (good for gifting), but you do need to have an accurate See Recipes, A9

candy thermometer. These keep well in airtight containers, so you can make them this evening and have them for any occasion over the next 3 weeks.
HAZELNUT CARAMELS 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) 1 ¼ cups (packed) golden brown sugar 1 cup sugar 1 ¼ cups dark corn syrup 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 1 cup coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts (husked, of course) Coarse sea salt (optional) Line a 9-inch square baking pan (with at least 2-inch sides) with heavy duty aluminum foil, extending the foil over the sides of the pan. Butter the foil. Melt the 1 cup butter in a heavy large saucepan over low heat. Add both white and brown sugars, corn syrup and condensed milk; stir until the sugar dissolves. Scrape the seeds from inside the vanilla bean into the mixture; add the bean itself. Attach your candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan and increase heat to medium; bring mixture to a boil and cook for 8 min., stirring frequently. Use tongs to remove the vanilla bean and discard it. Continue cooking the caramel mixture until the thermometer registers 242 degrees, stirring frequently. (It shouldn’t take much more than another 5-7 min.). Remove from heat; stir in hazelnuts. Quickly pour caramel into the prepared pan (don’t scrape the inside of the saucepan; save it for licking in a few minutes). Cool the caramel until almost firm, about 1 hr. At this point, you may sprinkle the caramel lightly with coarse sea salt if you wish (salted caramels are the current “rage” in candy now), but don’t be heavy handed. Using a buttered heavy, large, sharp knife, score 8 lines lengthwise to about a depth of ¼-inch in the caramel, then score 8 lines the other way. Using the foil as a lifting aid, lift the caramel out of the pan. With the same buttered knife, cut the caramel along the scored lines into individual pieces. (Be sure your knife is sharp.) Wrap each piece in colored or decorative plastic wrap, twisting ends closed. Makes 81 caramels, unless cut larger. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

on Thursday that cell towers go through the site review process. Once AT&T applies, a yellow sign will be posted to notify the public, who will be given a time period for comment. Pederson said cell tower approval is an administrative process, so the county commissioners will not be involved in the decision. The site could well be in a geological hazardous area, he said, which would require further studies from AT&T. Approval is a long process and an appeal of any decision is possible through the Island County Hearing Examiner. Bruce Buls, who lives near the cell tower site, expressed his disappointment at Tuesday’s meeting. “Public opinion has always

been against it,” Buls said, alluding to public hearings and petitions. “It’s almost insulting what you’re allowing AT&T to do. The park’s going to suffer, property values will suffer.” Arnold, the realtor, later said it was impossible at this time to calculate any impacts on property values. “You can’t ever please everybody,” Gordon said. “By signing the lease this is the best chance the trail is going to be there for years.” The port commissioners were not without allies. One woman said it was “selfish” to oppose improving cell phone communication on the island, and a man said it is important that cell phones work in case of accidents or other emergencies.

Meeting called on sex offender BY JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
The Island County Sheriff’s Office will hold a public meeting Thursday, Dec. 20, to discuss a Level 3 sex offender who’s moving back to the community. Christopher Mazdra, 34, will be residing on NE Sixth Street in Coupeville after being released from prison. The sheriff’s office has labeled him as a Level 3 sex offender, which means he’s considered a high risk to the community. Sheriff Mark Brown and Coupeville Marshal Lance Davenport will be at the meeting, which will begin at 6 p.m. at the Coupeville Rec Hall, 901 NW Alexander St. Mazdra was convicted of three counts of rape of a child in the third degree and, in a separate case, one count of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes in 2006. Mazdra engaged in sexual

Christopher Mazdra and inappropriate relationships with underage girls that he met on the bus, at the library or through instant messaging, according to a release from the sheriff’s office. He had a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl when he was 24. At his sentencing hearing, his mother explained that Mazdra has a developmental disability and identified with teenagers. The judge sentenced Mazdra under the Special Sexual Offender Sentencing Alternative, commonly known as a SSOSA. The sentencing alternative allows first-time sex offenders to avoid all or most of a prison term by agreeing to go through special sex offender treatment in the community and abiding by strict conditions meant to safeguard the community and change any bad habits that could lead to future offenses. The court revoked Mazdra’s SSOSA last year after he violated the conditions by being in a place minors congregate, going on the Internet without permission and having a sexual relationship with an adult woman without permission of his treatment provider or a Community Corrections officer.

Diver helps retrieve car after pond plunge BY JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
David Sharpe / dsharpephotography.com
A diver had to swim 35 to 45 feet down into a pond Monday morning to find a submerged car.
A diver had to swim down about 35 to 45 feet Monday morning to get to a car that had plunged to the bottom of a Central Whidbey pond over the weekend. Trooper Jesse Greene with the Washington State Patrol said the driver, a Port Townsend woman, slid the car into the pond Saturday morning on her way to the Coupeville ferry dock. She was able to escape
before the 2003 Subaru Baja sank to the bottom of the water-filled quarry. According to Greene, the woman was driving south on Highway 20 and failed to negotiate the curve at Keystone Avenue. She was unfamiliar with the area and the roads were slippery from an earlier hail storm. The car slid across the road and into the pond. The woman swam ashore and called 911. This wasn’t the first time
that someone drove a car into one of the ponds in the area; Greene said he was told the last time it happened was four years ago. The deep ponds were once gravel quarries, he said. The woman’s insurance
company hired a diver to locate the car at the bottom of the pond and attach a cable to winch it out. “The diver said it was colder than the ocean,” Greene said.
Freeland accountant looks into Greenbank Farm finances BY NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter Port of Coupeville hired an accountant to investigate financial allegations made by a former chairperson of a volunteer committee. Chuck Edwards, a Freeland accountant, is reviewing allegations made by Georgia Gardner, a Coupeville accountant, about apparent errors, omissions and/or inconsistencies in the tax and payroll records of the Greenbank Farm Management Group. Gardner is currently a Whidbey General Hospital commissioner and she is a former state legislator. According to a motion approved by the commis-
sioners for the Port of Coupeville, Edwards will review correspondence written by Gardner, interview Gardner and trustees for the Greenbank Farm Management Group and provide findings and recommendations for the port commissioners by the end of the year. The investigation stems from a resignation letter written by Gardner in October that outlined her concerns about the management group’s finances. She had been serving as the chairwoman for a volunteer group, known at as the Greenbank Farm Executive Planning Group, tasked with examining the publicly
owned farm and developing recommendations about how it will be managed in the future. “We think this is a very good development,” said Michael Stansbury, president of the farm’s management group. In an interview after the meeting, he said staff have conducted a review of the farm’s finances but haven’t found anything that would cause Gardner’s concerns. He added that he’s tried repeatedly to contact Gardner, but hasn’t talked to her yet. Jim Patton, executive director for the port, said he hopes the investigation will address concerns raised.
Edwards’ work has to be complete by the end of the year in time for a special meeting at which the volunteer group will present its final report. That special meeting where the planning group will give a report and recommendations is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 2 in the Coupeville Library.

This is the cover of Barry Gough’s “Juan de Fuca’s Strait: Voyages in the Waters of Forgotten Dreams.” The book is available for purchase at Island County Historical Museum in Coupeville.
A tale rich with adventure, dreams and exploration forms the history of Juan de Fuca’s Strait in a new book by a Canadian author. The famous strait connects Puget Sound to the Pacific Ocean and serves as a dividing line between the U.S. and Canada. Barry Gough recently presented and signed his new book, “Juan de Fuca’s Strait: Voyages in the Waterway of Forgotten Dreams,” at the Coupeville Library. “Any book signing like this that’s adding another historical resource to the library of local history is valuable,” said Rick Castellano, executive director of the Island County Historical Museum. The book begins in 16th

Another detail Castellano found interesting was that Juan de Fuca was Greek, but he took a Spanish name because he was exploring for Spain. “This promises to be a very enriching program because the history of this area runs so deep,” Castellano said. “I’m just excited he’s coming here and we have another book to add to our research library.” “Juan de Fuca’s Strait” is available to purchase at the Island County Museum in Coupeville.

Conard ties 10 same-sex knots BY JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter Ten gay couples became some of the first in Island County to take advantage of Washington’s new same-sex marriage laws Sunday when they tied the knot at a private ceremony in Langley. Officiated by Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard, the weddings were held at the home of one of the nation’s best known gay couples: Grethe Cammermeyer and Diane Divelbess. They were one of the couples who wed. Cammermeyer said it was a memorable day to begin with but it was made that much more special thanks to Conard. She prepared for the ceremonies by calling each of the couples in advance to learn a little about them so each service would be a little
more personal. “She did such a beautiful job with all them,” Cammermeyer said. An Uzbeki wedding horn, loaned by Langley resident Fred Lundahl, and drinking glasses with the date and “Married in Washington” blazoned on the side, also helped make the day memorable. Amazingly, all of the ceremonies were conducted over a short two-hour period, from 1 to 3 p.m., and were then followed by Cammermeyer’s and Divelbess’ annual Christmas party. Adherence to a regimented schedule allowed everything to go smoothly and on time, said Cammermeyer, who is a retired colonel with the Washington National Guard. “It was a military operation,” she joked.

years and restoration work to be completed over several years. After two members of the planning department quit, the city approved a contract with Kwarsick as planning director on Jan. 3, 2011. Under the contract, Kwarsick was supposed to recuse himself from all matters related to his clients, according to the report written by Detective Wallace. While he was planning director, he allegedly wrote a Notice of Decision, backdated to Dec. 20, 2010, that stated all wetland mitigation work on his stepdaughter’s project was completed after just one year; the document also eliminated a development restriction attached to the deed on the property. He filed the notice and wrote a notation closing the file, according to Banks. Kwarsick didn’t return calls for comment. He previously said he didn’t intentionally backdate the document, but forgot to change the date while finishing up the work of the former planner, according to the whis-

Plus, it would require moving long-tenured high school teachers and a “cultural and philosophical” shift by the district. “When I look at it, with a new set of eyes outside the history, I can’t get my mind around putting a middle school program there,” Moccia said. School leaders are counting on voter approval of the M&O levy, which makes up 28 percent of the district’s $15 million operating budget. Voters will be asked in February to extend the M&O levy for another three years, along with the capital/technology levy.

Muggles was an adult and so originally we didn’t transition him over to raw until we really thought we were going to lose him. He was getting old and was definitely showing his age… or so we thought. After about thirty days of eating raw Muggles was a new dog. He was jumping around and playing like a puppy. We just couldn’t believe the difference. And still today he’s still acting like a new puppy. And the only difference in his life was his diet.
Today people are looking at their own health just like we should be looking at our pets. We know that we can’t have a healthy lifestyle without proper nutrition, so how can our dogs? More and more we are looking for whole foods to create a healthy lifestyle and Commonsense Raw Dog Food provides just that for our dogs.
Commonsense Dog Food is natural and proven through the most extensive trials done on any raw frozen dog food being produced on the market today. The results have been significant, the diet is safe and proven for all stages of dogs. And our dogs are proof positive that it’s the best thing for them. If you love your pets as much as we love ours it’s only natural that you would feed them Commonsense Raw Dog Food.
What to do for Hot Spots, Fleas & Anxiety Hot spots can cause both you and your dog or cat irritation and grief. The most common causes of hot spots are numerous: fleas and/or mites, matted hair, allergies (including food), and even boredom and anxiety can cause your dog or cat to create hot spots. Try and determine the cause of the hot spot and treat the symptoms. Has anything changed your pet’s life? Food? Less activity/ play time? Try and make sure your pet is on a low carbohydrate, premium food as many of the fillers can cause skin irritation-wheat and corn are the major offenders. Check your pet’s body for
signs of fleas — flea “dirt” will be little black specks and you may even see fleas. A bath and then a flea control regimen will help with these pests. In the case of anxiety or needing more stimulation, create more one-on-one time with your buddy. If this isn’t possible find a neighbor or friend to walk your dog or get an interactive toy to alleviate anxiety. There are puzzle toys that you can hide treats in to encourage your pet to work a sequence and retrieve the treat. There are great sprays and ointments to help alleviate the hot spot symptoms. Check with your veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.

Promoting peace, person by person “Give the World the Peace of Your Mind” is the title of Rev. Patty Becker’s talk at 10 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 16, at Unity of Whidbey, 5671 Crawford Road. One of the overriding themes of the holiday season is peace. Christmas cards, carols, decorations and ornaments proclaim peace on earth. Tapping into world news reveals peace is not the current condition on our beautiful planet. In fact, quite the opposite. Join Rev. Becker as she shares a practical
message on how each of us can take simple actions every day to promote peace. Be an instrument of peace and change the world with your joyful noise. Heidi Hoelting will provide the musical inspiration and Karen McInerney will be the platform assistant. All are welcome to attend. Visit unityofwhidbeyisland.org for more information.

Port takes a gamble planning for FEMAINSTANT grant G BY JIM LARSEN Record editor The race is on to obtain permits necessary to complete phase one of the Port of South Whidbey’s Langley Marina enhancement project during 2013. Trouble is, while the port commissioners are snorting at the gate they have little idea what the other horses are doing. A smaller horse, the city of Langley, came through earlier this week with its building permit, said Ed Field, port manager. “There were eight conditions but nothing’s a deal breaker,” he told the commissioners at Tuesday’s meeting. “I am appreciative. It’s one half of what I needed. The other half I ain’t got yet,” he added in his folksy manner. “It’s on somebody’s desk waiting to be written.” He was alluding to the long-expected permit from the Corps of Army Engineers. Field said a representative from the office of Congressman Rick Larsen visited the marina Monday and would try to influence the Army Corps to hurry. He also suggested contacting Sen. Patty Murray. “We need that permit,” Field said. He’s anxious to

prepare bidding documents for the $1.75 million improvement project but is wary of proceeding without the Corps permit. After much discussion, the commissioners decided to “gamble” by paying consulting engineer Reid-Middleton to begin preparing the bid documents before the Corps comes through with the anticipated permit. That will allow an extra 10 days so Fields can meet his desired goal of sending the project out to bid in late January, with a bid opening around Feb. 15. Construction in the water can’t be done during the “fish window” that begins July 1, but Field said there’s plenty of work that can still be accomplished, including refurbishing a 400-foot breakwater and yanking out old pilings and decking. An even darker horse in the permit race is the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA. Field recounted a complex discussion with a FEMA official which left the commissioners shaking their heads and
twisting their pens. FEMA could provide money to purchase a fire boat and sheriff’s boat, but might have stricter dock construction requirements. The FEMA grant for the boats is estimated at $175,000, or 10 percent of the project cost. Field seemed ready to forget about it, but Commissioner Curt Gordon urged patience. “Why would you not want to take that money?” he asked. “You can kind of see the logic; there’s a $175,000 swing. That’s a hell of a gamble, maybe we should take another look at that.” Field said a FEMA deci-
sion may be known by the middle of January. In the end, the commissioners decided to begin work on a pair of bid documents, one with federal FEMA requirements and one without. “Separate the boats as a separate project,” Gordon told Field. “If they don’t get funded we don’t build ‘em. But the fire district would really like that boat.” The sheriff has expressed less interest, he said. It was estimated that $15,000 may be spent on the pair of bid documents before the Corp and FEMA decisions are known. If the permits are both received no
money will be lost. But if FEMA falls through, much of that preliminary work will be for naught. “It’s a $15,000 gamble till January,” Gordon said. “We may be out $20,000,” estimated Commissioner Chris Jerome. “But it’s better State Farm®

Pearl Harbor survivor Cecil Calavan bows his head in prayer following a wreath-laying to commemorate the 71st anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Harbor Survivors Association Chapter 5, Jim Stansell, said. “But honor and remembrance seems inadequate; we can’t give back what was lost.” At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Stansell was a Seaman 2nd Class aboard the USS Hull, a destroyer which had just returned from a mission at sea and was tied up to the USS Dobbin to get power. Stansell, then 17 years old, heard they were under attack as he was preparing to go to church and rushed topside, only to see a Japanese plane so close he could see the pilot’s face. The Dobbin cut the Hull off from power so its power guns were useless. Virtually helpless, all the crew of the Hull could do was watch the attack. Stansell saw
the USS Arizona blow up; he saw the USS Utah roll over; and the USS Nevada sink and run aground. “A great America and a great Navy in many cases were built around the holocaust of that day,” Stansell said. “We do remember those lost with our thoughts and our prayers, and I can only say ‘God Bless.’” The remarks were followed by a traditional wreath-laying in Crescent Harbor. Gayle Vyskocil, widow of Pearl Harbor survivor Lt. Cmdr. James Vyskocil, tossed the evergreen wreath into the water. Other survivors tossed in white carnations as the wind whipped around them. A 21-gun-salute and the playing of “Taps” brought the quiet ceremony to an end.

said Cmdr. Lew Callaway, Executive Officer of VAQ-129. “Pearl Harbor proved America had the will to win,” he continued. “Men raced into battle even when their ship was sinking.” Callaway said those who made the ultimate sacrifice at Pearl Harbor and those who fought in its wake went on to show America was a force to

Gray skies were but a reflection of the somber mood at a Pearl Harbor Remembrance ceremony at Crescent Harbor Marina on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s Seaplane Base. The traditional remembrance service was put
together by Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129 and included community members, local Pearl Harbor survivors and active duty personnel. Although the weather didn’t cooperate, the rain didn’t dampen the emotional spirit of the message that has lived on since that infamous day. “Freedom is the price and each generation pays its due,”
