Whidbey birds:

Consider yourselves counted

Christmas bird count results in record number BY MICHAELA MARX WHEATLEY Staff reporter

F

AMILIES, LONG-TIME birders, newbies and experts, armed with binoculars, bird guides and checklists went out on a mission earlier this month. Teams of bird watchers swarmed birding hotspots from Greenbank Farm to the Clinton ferry dock to contribute to the 113th annual Christmas Bird Count, locally sponsored by the Whidbey Audubon Society. The morning started quiet and many of the volunteers shivered behind their binoculars on the crisp Saturday. But as skies brightened, the birds were on the move. “We all headed out with our teams, stopping the car at shorelines and parks to count everything we saw,” birder Govinda Rosling said. “We also encourage nocturnal birding, and some folks got up extra early for owling.” Nineteen owls were tallied.

The birders enjoyed the “hunt,” but they froze and endured high winds for those special moments, Rosling said. “Our highlight this year was a Cassin’s auklet — spotted by Diane Kaufman, who had never been in a bird count before, she said. ‘Hey what’s that little black duck over there?’” she asked. The Cassin’s auklet is a species that is more common on the coast, and seldom seen in the inland waters, Rosling explained. “The other gem, was a brown pelican that has been hanging around the ferry dock,” Rosling said. The brown pelican is a species that is expanding its range, at first seen only Oregon and south, then in south Puget Sound, and now here at the Clinton ferry dock. The event drew 68 participants who counted 15,485 individual birds, said Rosling, who compiled the data for the See bird count, A13

Lending network helps businesses on South Whidbey BY MICHAELA MARX WHEATLEY Staff reporter Only about one year old, Whidbey Island Local Lending has started making loans to local projects. “We think of it as recycling dollars,” said Lynn Willeford, one of the co-founders. “A good amount of us make our money on the island. We want to put it back into the island.” The group formed to help people in the community who need loans to start or expand their businesses. It’s an alternative to bank loans. The small loans are ranging from as low as $300 to about $10,000 or more. Borrowers can be start-ups, seasonal businesses such as landscapers or farmers who may need new equipment before the season starts,

WILL follows basic principles. artists or individuals with the next It’s a network of lenders, who use big idea. “We want to encourage young their personal money to back up people with less access to credit projects they believe in.

If investors think the proposal is worthy of funding, they will ask for more detailed information, a business plan and arrange to meet in person. WILL does not give advice; and members know they are responsible for making independent decisions on loans. The loans are formalized in contract form and the conditions are worked out on an individual basis. “There are risks,” Valis said. However, she added, comparable groups have rarely suffered negative experiences as borrowers feel a deeper commitment to their community and neighbors than to a faceless banking institution. The project in Port Townsend has made a huge difference in the community, Valis said. As of January 2012, 20 investors had made 74 transactions for a total of

$2.33 million in loans to local businesses and nonprofits throughout Jefferson County. “Nothing has gone bad,” Valis said. “It’s very personal,” Willeford added. “Many of us have made loans in our community before. This is just more formalized,” she added. Valis emphasizes that the lending network is more like lending used to be based on a solid business plan and personal credibility — sometimes a good gut feeling, rather than credit ratings and numbers. “We are stronger for being person to person and supporting good local business ideas,” Valis said.

notable What’s in the cards? Stacey Guy thinks a lot about destiny. She believes destiny brought her to Whidbey Island. “It was so beautiful when I got here and I felt this extremely strong energy,” she said. “I felt like this is part of my destiny. And everyone should embrace their destiny.” According to Guy, she was also destined to become a psychic. The warm, energetic 24-year-old is a fifth-generation psychic. Guy, who emphasized she is a clairvoyant, not a medium, said she received her “gift” at age 11, but didn’t really come into it until she was 12. “I get a flash of energy and pick up on feelings and emotions,” she described. “Walking into a crowded place was difficult for me. I didn’t like feeling other people’s emotions.” A psychic was the last thing she wanted to be in life. “I didn’t want it. I wanted to do something else,” said Guy. “I just knew I wanted to work with people.” Life became easier once she Kathy Reed / The Record mastered control of her gift and she began to work on Clinton psychic Stacey Guy deals Tarot cards Tuesday at her office. honing her skills, with the help of her grandmother and mothworld ending on Dec. 21, she er, who are also psychic.

shift, and also adapt to the changes.” When you think about it, Guy said, the ability to change is what appeals to everyone in the New Year anyway. She said resolutions are usually things people want to change about themselves or their lives. “If all of us want to change, maybe our world can change,” she said. “When it comes down to it, everybody is the same. We all have the same feelings and emotions, but we just don’t know how to embrace it.” Guy, who declined to be photographed for “religious reasons,” says anyone has the ability to be a psychic. “I feel anybody can do it. It’s about opening your third-eye chakra (a gate leading to inner realms and higher consciousness, according to Wikipedia),” Guy said. “If you embrace it, enhance it, learn to control it and shut it off, you have your gift.” For now, Guy is content offering a variety of services for her clients. A basic palm reading, which Guy recommends for newcomers, costs $10. For $25, Guy will perform a Tarot card reading. A spiritual reading from Guy, in conjunction with Tarot cards, is $35. Guy also does readings for pets. The only tools she uses in her trade are Tarot cards. The only crystals she does use have to be natural, not man made. And no, the office doesn’t have beaded curtains, candles don’t burn in every nook and cranny and there isn’t a crystal ball in sight. “I don’t even know what they’re used for,” she laughed. – Kathy Reed

STATE Licensing expands driving schools Driver training will continue to expand to special driver training schools and school districts next year. The Department of Licensing recently announced the expansion. “This program continues to operate smoothly, so we are stopping testing in several more offices as of the first of the year,” said Alan Haigh, director of the licensing department. “There are even more driver training schools that are ready to conduct drive tests, and we have definitely seen an improvement in the wait times for our

customers that must come and visit us.” As of Jan. 1, 2013, driving exams will no longer be available at the Anacortes, Bremerton, Mount Vernon and Poulsbo, as well as a handful of other DOL sites across Washington. Oak Harbor’s site will remain. To conduct driver tests, driver training schools must be licensed with the state or be part of a statecertified public school driver training program. They have to apply for the authority to administer driver testing, and are subject to audits and record checks. After passing the tests, customers will go to a licensing office to obtain their license. Customers are still required to pay the driver license application fee to DOL. Driver training schools will set the fee they charge for the tests. The program is the final phase of implementing House Bill 1635, which gives the Department authority to contract with private driver training schools, school districts and motorcycle training schools to conduct some knowledge and skills tests. The bill was passed in an effort to reduce wait times in licensing service offices. A list of state-approved driver training schools is available at www.dol. wa.gov/driverslicense/ testing.html.

In our opinion

A refreshing look at Langley Where did we come from? How did we get here? Who built these surroundings? Where might we be headed? These questions all have to do with history, even the latter one because the history of a community has an influence on its future. A lot of communities have little or no dependable history in written form and are the poorer for it. Langley doesn’t have that problem. The first history books devoted exclusively to South Whidbey were written by the late Lorna Cherry in the 1980s. She focused on South Whidbey families, and by reading their histories one acquires an appreciation for the excruciatingly hard work the homesteaders put in and the hardships and pain suffered in the days before modern transportation and medicine. Now along comes another generation of dedicated community members who fortunately won’t let history rest in peace. They’ve followed in Cherry’s footsteps, but with a different approach. The narrative of their new book, “Images of America -- Langley,” is limited but very informative, paying homage to founder Jacob Anthes and various city eras. But is predominantly a collection of vintage photographs. It’s an easy read and a joy to look through. Co-authors Robert E. Waterman and Frances L. Wood put in untold hours acquiring and identifying photos of the buildings and people included in the book, and in accurately describing the landscape. Those involved in upgrading today’s marina will be surprised that Langley had a much longer dock at the foot of Anthes Street nearly a century ago. First Street businesses change through the years, but many of the buildings from the ‘20s and ‘30s are identifiable today. The Masonic Temple, for example, was built in 1948 but now serves as Langley City Hall. Another pleasure of the book is that its history doesn’t stop before any of us were born or came her to live. Photos run into this century, with last-page pictures of the 2005 Halloween parade and a scene from the relatively new Langley Village with Paul’s Barber Shop boasting most visible sign. That, too, is now part of Langley’s history. In 2013 Langley will have a number of events to celebrate its centennial. This new book is one phase of that celebration. Buy it so you can better enjoy the upcoming celebration, and so you can acquire a fresh look at the Village by the Sea’s fascinating history. Shop locally and buy it at The Commons or Moonraker Books.

Cases point to malfeasance To the editor: Did Larry Kwarsick’s fraud while Langley planner constitute “malfeasance” as that term has been defined by the courts? Yes. There are numerous cases that hold that commission of an unlawful act while in the performance of an official duty by a governmental official is malfeasance. This is why the Langley attorney’s reliance on the DUI of the Superintendent of Public Education is irrelevant. The superintendents’s driving was not part of his official duties. But when Kwarsick as planner backdated a document to save a relative and former client money by removing basic environmental protections, he committed malfeasance. He also broke his contract with the city, which required that he not be involved in any developments that he had previously worked on. It would behoove Langley to examine that contract and see what penalties were

provided for such dereliction. Washington law is unambiguous that conviction for malfeasance in office “shall entail … the forfeiture of his or her office …” Let’s use a conservative interpretation of that provision and assume it only refers to Kwarsick’s former job of planning director. Since he’s no longer planning director, does that get him out from under the requirements that he forfeit the office of mayor? The answer is no. The statute, RCW 9.92.120, says: “Conviction of public officer forfeits trust. The conviction of a public officer of any felony or malfeasance in office shall entail, in addition to such other penalty as may be imposed, the forfeiture of his or her office, and shall disqualify him or her from ever afterward holding any public office in this state.” The key phrase is “shall disqualify him or her from ever afterward holding any public office in this state.” “Ever afterward.” Those words include the office of mayor that Kwarsick assumed after being planning director. The final question is whether Larry Kwarsick is still mayor. In a case involving the Snohomish County Sheriff, a Washington Court of Appeals stated,

“We upheld the ouster, making it clear that the office had become vacant and forfeit upon conviction.” The office of Mayor of Langley is now “vacant and forfeit.” The only question remaining is whether Larry Kwarsick will leave willingly or whether a court must order him to do so.

State does not require recycling program To the editor: I am an avid recycler, but I do not support a recycling service for Island Disposal that requires every customer to fund. Sorry to say, recycling is not a Washington state law. Until it is, however, making customers who do not recycle (or those who already do so on their own) pay for a service they do not want is wrong.

Don’t raise our recycling costs To the editor: Currently, we recycle. We have been doing so for over a decade. There are multiple places for the residential community to take recyclable material for drop off. We use Island Recycling, which is less than 2 miles away. My questions to the commissioners are as follows: 1. What is the fee for this service? I thought I read $7.50 per pick up in the Record. At four times per month that is Your Real Estate Consultant

To the editor: “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under Heaven.” So says Scripture, and never has this passage meant so much, as we wipe away our tears and struggle to come to grips with the senseless deaths of six amazing educators and 20 little children who had their whole lives ahead of them.

To the editor: “The sky is falling!” Or is it stray bullets? This is what commissioners Homola and Price Johnson would have one believe based on the revised code regarding shooting presently being rammed through this “lame duck” session. Where is the evidence of any person being harmed by so-called “stray bullets,” in Island County? What proof is there on record of any such incident happening in the last 50 years? Can the commissioners produce facts to back up their claim, or is this

another cause of fear mongering to affect the minds of the people? At a recent meeting, Bill Strowbridge introduced an amendment to add roads, etc., as hazards to all islanders, which was promptly rejected by Price Johnson. That wording was too close to home. I suspect Mr. Strowbridge was trying to emphasize how ludicrous the proposed revision really is and that it should be quashed. Rational thinking recognizes that the odds of being hit by a stray bullet are infinitesimal, while autos, deer, trees falling on one, and much more are common threats to one’s safety. Commissioners Homola and Price Johnson would be wise to act with discretion before making the revision law. It would be the adult thing to do, instead of acting like petulant adolescents with an agenda to get their way regardless of those who objected to the revision. Persons harmed by bullets in Island County were either lawbreakers, or where they should not be.

Now is the time to realize that our “right to bear arms” has to have reasonable, sensible limits or we risk destroying more fundamental rights, to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Other nations have achieved both freedom and safety with reasonable and sensible gun regulations. In 2011, gun deaths in Japan numbered 48, Great Britain 8, Switzerland 34, Canada 52, Israel 58, Sweden 21, Germany 42, while the United States had an astronomical 10,728. It’s time to stop kidding ourselves. Guns don’t make us safe. And guns are expensive. Gun injuries and deaths raise our insurance rates, weigh heavily on our medical facilities, cost our police agencies time and treasure. They don’t pay for themselves. They cost us dearly. Semi-automatic weapons are not meant for killing deer or duck, but for killing humans. To protect our homes we don’t need guns capable of holding enough ammunition to wipe out a single classroom without reloading. Let’s face it — some people should be able to get weapons and some

We have no interest in paying more than 36$ a year, which is our cost today (4 miles round trip x 12 trips a year = 48 miles x 0.65 cents per mile (IRS figure), or about $36 per year).

Viewpoint Good Cheer’s many miracles BY Kathy McCabe As we enter the holiday season — traditionally a time to reflect upon miracles — let me share with you the “everyday miracles” that I witness at Good Cheer Food Bank. The miracle of compassion: Good Cheer volunteers do the day-in, day-out work of running our food bank and thrift stores. These amazing men, women and teens radiate compassion toward neighbors on South Whidbey through their smiles, nonjudgmental attitudes, and helpful hands. Most clients are a delight to serve and incredibly grateful, but some who suffer from mental illness, or who are hardened by a painful life, can be difficult. Yet I have never seen our volunteers be anything but kind and patient. Despite an increase of food bank clients, our volunteers serve others in a way Mother Teresa described as “loving without getting tired.” This week a woman came to the food bank at closing time after our volunteers had already served a long, busy day. She needed food because her abusive husband was being released from jail

WN

Page A7

Letters met: Another woman, approaching 60, is a miracle in her own right, having been diagnosed with cancer at 22 and a survivor of 38 surgeries for multiple forms of the disease throughout her life. Last year, she missed one health insurance payment. The insurance company then required an immediate payment of three months in advance at a cost of several thousand dollars. She could not pay it and is now without insurance. Due to the cancer treatments in her mouth and throat, she relies upon a feeding tube in her stomach through which she pours a liquid meal product, to survive. Last week she was running out of this meal product, and had started watering it down to make it last. She came to the Food Bank hoping we could help. When we found several donated cans on our shelves, tears came to her eyes because these donated cans gave her the extra time she needed to figure out a workable solution for the future. Things like that happen in our food bank: A a mother finds gluten-free products for her child with Celiac’s disease, or a senior finds a low-salt or low-sugar product for a restricted diet. And this is also a sort of miracle, because we don’t have the funds to

and she and her children were going into hiding that evening. Our volunteers stayed late and helped this woman with compassion and a renewed sense of energy. Isn’t it a miracle that the more we share, the more we have; the more we empty ourselves through service, the more we are renewed? The miracle of faith: I’m not necessarily referring to religious faith, though that is dear to many of us, but rather an unshakable faith that life will get better. It is more than mere hope; it is a perseverance of the human spirit. I see it in many of the clients we serve. Just yesterday a woman sat in my office — a bubbly, effusive woman — who was widowed several years ago, underwent chemo and radiation for cancer, who was then unable to work and lost her rental apartment as a result, and who now lives in a brokendown bus. Yet this woman didn’t feel sorry for herself. She believed that things would get better, that she would work again, and she was incredibly grateful to Good Cheer, not only for food and fresh produce; more than that, she was grateful for the smiles, the social interaction, and the compassion that she experiences here.

Civility

WAIF slurs not appreciated To the editor: I recently received an anonymous manila packet in the mail filled with slanderous accusations about WAIF. After reading through the pages I understand why you left it unsigned and with no return address. Why would you try to discredit an organization that has accomplished so much for pets and people in need? I have been to the WAIF shelters over the years on many occasions and have always observed hard working volunteers and staff who really care about helpless animals. They are trying to make life better for unfortunate creatures who have lost their homes. I see an exceptional job being done by those who care, it is unfortunate that you do not. I have no idea how you got my name and address but please make no further attempt to contact me.

Perhaps you could try something constructive rather than destructive. Lila Coats Langley

St. Hubert wins applause To the editor: A big round of applause to the people of St. Hubert for their wonderful Lessons and Carols presentation. This old English tradition uses both scriptures and music to tell the history of Christianity from the beginning to Christ’s birth, preparing us for the Christmas season. The readings were well delivered and the church’s choir was excellent. A surprising bonus was the La Bella Coro, an ecumenical children’s choir whose beautifully pure voices, training and professional delivery were a true joy. I look forward to next year!

Whidbey islanders fund the HUB, keeping kids busy Businesses and nonprofits team up to keep youth program successful

Kids like these are why local families, businesses and nonprofits fund the HUB. The youth hangout program gives kids a meal and a safe space to socialize three days a week in downtown Langley. In the back row are Colby Brasher, Lukas Corradini and Phillip Martin. In the middle row are Lars Hetland, Kyrell Broyles, Mikayla Kestle, Carli Newman, Allysa Klob, Gracie Colby and Kayla Aleck.

BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter South Whidbey wanted to resurrect the HUB, so it did. When money disappeared from its parent organization, locals picked up the slack, found funding and got the HUB running one day a week last year. The HUB’s board continued to push for support and was able to expand to several days per week, opening its

doors in downtown Langley for South Whidbey’s young-

sters to eat, play and socialize. “It’s not a small role,” said Hank Hall, HUB executive director. “We’re having a pretty significant response from the kids; they’re getting a lot out of this. We had a lot of partners in getting the HUB back up to speed.” And kids sure like the HUB. On average, 22 youths visited the HUB every day it was open. So far this school

year, the HUB staff served 100 students a total of 860 meals. That’s a dramatic increase from 2011, when the program was open once a week. “Attendance was slight last year when it was open just one day a week,” Hall said. The HUB asked for $5,000 in donations earlier this year, which if met would be matched by Nancy Nordhoff. In total, $10,620 stemmed from Nordhoff’s matching challenge, as money came in from individual donations and contributions from businesses like the Rotary Club of South Whidbey, Windermere Real

Estate, Whidbey Giving Circle, Good Cheer, the Screamin’ Banshee Bakery, the Kiichli Bagel Bakery, Whidbey Cupcakes, Shirlee Read of The Kitchen Door, Betsy and Jay Shapiro for providing the youths a dinner from China City, the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District and others. That was on top of the program’s garden cart raffle in June. A little wagon full of gardening supplies brought in a big payday of $4,200 for the HUB. “It really gave us some life and made this possible,” Hall said. All the money pays for

They monitor the basement of the Langley United Methodist Church, which has acted as the fiscal agent for the HUB and donated the space. “That’s what enabled us to continue fundraising,” Hall said. The HUB had plans to open five days a week as soon as funding is available and was waiting for approval of its nonprofit organization status. Running five days per week would cost about $227 per day and would require an annual budget of $67,000. Since reopening in 2011, the HUB has operated with a total funding base of $28,000.

Rural recycling gets final thumbs up BY JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter A five-year discussion about curbside recycling for Island Disposal customers came to an end this week. On Thursday, the Island County Commissioners agreed in a 2-0 vote to move forward with the program, which will apply to everyone who subscribes to trash service in rural parts of Whidbey Island. Board members expressed concerns about well-tread issues, ranging from the mandatory elements of the program and the exclusion of glass to the quoted $11.60 per month cost, but ultimately decided that curbside recycling’s time had come. “Doing the right thing is not always the most convenient or the least expensive but I believe that in the long run … (the benefits) far outweigh the cost to this community at large,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said. “I think it’s time to put our foot forward and I’m willing to pay for it,” Commissioner Angie Homola said. Commissioner Kelly Emerson was in attendance but abstained on the basis that the majority of her district is on Camano Island where residents already have curbside service through another hauler. The vote followed a public hearing that was attended by about 25 people. The crowd appeared equally mixed with supporters and critics and people took turns at the microphone expressing their opinions. Many of the naysayers said they were avid recyclers but didn’t like various aspects of the program. One of the more common gripes, and one of the primary reasons a nearly identical program pitched in 2007 did not move forward, was that Island Disposal is requiring it be mandatory for all of its customers. Jennifer Lesko said she is a regular recycler but the everyother-week service will cost her an extra $140 a year (the final cost has yet to be determined) and that’s money she can’t afford. To get out of paying the fee, she said she will likely

cancel her service and self haul. “It makes me feel poorer than I am that I actually have to do this,” Lesko said. Similarly, Island Recycling owner David Campbell said he was not against the idea of a curbside program. In fact, he called himself a recycling “whacko” who’s been doing it religiously for 40 years. Like Lesko, he said his customers commonly complain that they will quit their garbage service and self-haul because they don’t want to pay the extra fee, especially when glass will not be accepted. He and several others, such as Central Whidbey Resident Bill Bradkin, expressed skepticism about recycling statistics and the expected results of an implemented curbside service. Yet, there were many others at the meeting who testified passionately in favor of the program. Coupeville resident Gary Piazzon, an outspoken advocate for the environment, talked about the United States’ role in global warming and the need to take action. “If we can reduce our carbon dioxide emissions … we’re going to do a great deal for our future and our kids’ futures,” Piazzon said. Coupeville resident Cathy d’Almeida said this was first place she’d lived in 20 years that didn’t offer curbside recycling, a fact she said was “appalling.” She was not alone. Several others called it “shocking” and “embarrassing.” But many more said the time for discussing the issue and trying to find a perfect program had come to an end. “It’s time we stop kicking this can down the road,” said Bob Walters, a Langley resident. “We’ve been doing this for years.”

Page A9

Ken Kovalenko, district manager for Waste Connections, parent company of Island Disposal, also addressed the crowd. He pointed out that while his firm is the franchised hauler for Whidbey Island, they are a private business and a curbside service is something of a financial gamble. “I know I’ll lose customers, but I’m willing to take that risk because I believe it’s the right thing to do,” Kovalenko said. He also debunked a claim that the company will have to run “loose” or un-compacted loads of recyclables to off-island facilities. Kovalenko said the recyclables Island Disposal does handle now are bailed at a facility just south of Coupeville. After hearing more than hour of public testimony, the board moved forward with little discussion. Both Homola and Price Johnson acknowledged the shortcomings of the program but were resolute in moving forward. Homola said she’d been taught long ago that when “you soil your nest, you clean it,” and while she will be out of a job by the end of the month, she is ready to pay more each month to do her part in reducing carbon emissions. “I’m willing to do that because I think it’s that important,” Homola said. Price Johnson said she wrestled with the decision but ultimately believed the curbside program is in the best interest of Island County and its residents. She ended with a quote from a constituent. “There is nothing more conservative than conserving resources,” she said. “It’s a clear winner economically and environmentally.” The board’s decision requires Island Disposal to launch the service within one year. The hauler will submit a proposal to state regulators and a final cost will be then be determined.

Wrestling with heart: First-year Falcon fights cardio fatigue BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter LANGLEY — The excitement on Keegan Warwick’s face spread quickly to his teammates last week. He had just pinned his Lakewood opponent and there were lots of reasons for smiling and gasping for air. It was the first match for Warwick, a junior at South Whidbey High School. The victory was his first this season and of his career, and also the first pin. And one motto of South Whidbey wrestling proved very true for Warwick: wrestling takes a lot of heart. For Warwick, who was born with a congenital heart defects that makes him easily fatigued, the pin in the second round was years in the making. Falcon head coach Jim Thompson turned to his squad and to the scorers table, all smile and enthusiasm, and sternly exclaimed, “That kid has a heart condition, and he has more heart than anyone out here.” “That’s my goal this year, go as hard as possible,” Warwick said. “When I pinned the guy, (Thompson) was over-excited because that shouldn’t have happened.” Not that Warwick is a bad wrestler, just his technique is raw in his first year of high school wrestling. When Warwick takes to the mat, however, his coaches said instincts kick take over. Thompson noted the junior’s balance, footwork and quick

As the season progresses, Thompson expected the grappling part to catch up with Warwick’s work habits. “He does not like to stop in that wrestling room,” Thompson said, adding that Warwick’s competitiveness carries onto the mat. “It just kills him when he has to stop. You can see it in his eyes. We’ve got to say, ‘You have to back off.’” The condition is old news to Warwick. He was born with a heart murmur and

Size disparty costs grapplers BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Avoid a few mistakes here and there, and South Whidbey had a chance against much larger wrestling programs at the Seahawk Duals in Anacortes. Bad form, being undersized and forfeits in the 106 and 113 pound divisions cost South Whidbey’s wrestling team against three of its dual meet opponents. The Falcons came away with one victory against the Archbishop Murphy Wildcats, South Whidbey’s Cascade Conference opponent. “After I get so aggravated and so down, I remember we’re so young and come back next year with the same kids,” said Falcon head coach Jim

had surgery when he was a toddler. The surgery basically shut down one of his heart valves, which causes the fatigue and left him with a scar that runs half the length of his torso. “It’s just there. It doesn’t work or anything,” Warwick said of the valve. “It takes a lot out of me because it’s trying to pump blood to my body but not getting to my legs or I get dizzy or lightheaded.”

UNTESTED As a first-year grappler for

Thompson. “I’ll only lose two starters.” One of those starters, senior Jake Leonard, did not wrestle because of an illness. The other, senior Pat Monell, won all four matches. Monell highlighted the Falcons in the 220 with three pins and one received forfeit. Thompson also noted strong matches by juniors Andy Madsen (132) and Kyrell Broyles (152) and sophomores Steven Smith (120), Pierce Jackson (285). Smith lost one of the matches that could have helped swing South Whidbey’s fate. Against La Conner, Smith was ahead 6-2 with less than 60 seconds left. He attempted to tilt, but was rolled onto his back and pinned with 6 seconds remaining. “It was one of those, ‘What did you do?’ matches,” Thompson said. Broyles was another of the Falcons’ “what-if” matches. He lost a close decisions to Oak Harbor and La Conner, 7-6 and 13-12. In the La Conner match,

the Falcons, Warwick is still untested. He had not experienced an all-day tournament, which South Whidbey has a full slate of this season. Thompson made it a scheduling priority last year to find tournaments that included JV wrestlers. That means as the season continues, Warwick will endure anywhere from three to five matches in a day. At a maximum of six minutes per match, excluding an extra period, Warwick could be on the mat for 30 minutes. For wrestlers with fully functioning hearts, that’s a

Broyles traded reverses, takedowns and near falls, but ultimately lost by a single point. Madsen scored two pins against Archbishop Murphy and Anacortes, but lost La Conner and Oak Harbor. Between the dual meets, junior varsity wrestlers competed in a pool-play tournament. Each of South Whidbey JV grapplers had at least two matches. Ideally, Thompson said, the young Falcon squad saw the importance of offseason weight training and its correlation to success on the wrestling mat. “Sooner or later it’s going to dawn on these kids that they have to put in the effort in the offseason or it’s just for fun,” Thompson said. The all-day tournament served as a challenging send off as the Falcons head into a short winter break. South Whidbey will return to practice the day after Christmas and have another all-day tournament at Chief Sealth High School on Dec. 29.

daunting task and one well understood by Warwick. “I’m more tired than most of the guys,” Warwick said of himself after the first round. “By the second match, I’m just trying to stand up.” Wrestling for a full three rounds each match isn’t in Warwick’s or his coach’s plans. “I said, ‘Hey if you go out there and pin the kid we don’t need to worry about it,’” Thompson said. His coaches and teammates know about the condition, but there aren’t any special allowances in the mat room. During practice, Warwick said he had felt some of his sparring partners take it easy. It’s a courtesy he has not extended to his teammates. “Some of them, they don’t always go to their max,” he said. “I don’t know if they’re going easy on me or easy on themselves, but I try to go as

hard as I can.”

FAMILY MATTER Wrestling is in the Warwick family. His older brothers Brett and Kurt both wrestled for Thompson in the Falcon program. Brett was a four-year grappler, and Kurt was on the team his senior year. Their father, Shawn Warwick, wrestled during his senior year in high school, too. Joining the Falcon team, Keegan Warwick said, was “to continue the family legacy and be the man I want to be, like my older brothers.” Clearing his annual stress test at Seattle Children’s Hosptial was easier than his parental checks. His grades needed to be maintained at an acceptable level in his parents’ eyes. “I had total support, I still have full support,” Warwick said.

To qualify for the drawing, hunters must submit a report for each black bear, deer, elk, or turkey tag they purchased and for each special hunting permit they received in 2012. All hunters, whether successful or not, are required to submit hunting reports for those species by Jan. 31. Hunters can report by phone (877 945-3492) or https://fishhunt.dfw. wa.gov.

Arson suspect pleads to ‘reckless burning’ BY JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter A 28-year-old man suspected in a series of arson fires in a neighborhood near Langley pleaded guilty to a lesser charge Monday as a part of a plea bargain. Ryan T. Parish was originally charged with two counts of second-degree arson. He pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court to reckless burning in the second degree. The judge agreed with the recommended sentence from the prosecution and defense and sent him to jail for 90 days. Eric Ohme, the senior deputy prosecutor, said in court Monday that the prosecution didn’t have enough evidence to pursue the arson charges against Parish. A deputy with night-vision goggles caught him burning leaves and garbage, but there was little to tie him directly to a series of five arson fires in the Whitehorse Lane neighborhood last fall. In addition, Parish’s attorney, Peter Simpson of Coupeville, said his client will receive mental health counseling under the terms of plea bargain. Parish’s mother spoke at the hearing, promising that she will keep a close eye on her son. The fires in the small neighborhood occurred last September and October. The arsonist targeted fences, a

Ryan Parish stands in court Monday next to his attorney, Peter Simpson. He was sentenced to jail for reckless burning. portable toilet, a brush pile and a car port, which sustained significant damage. Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office suspected Parish because he had reported one of the fires and has a juvenile history of arson, according to court documents. A deputy conducted a late-night stakeout in the woods near Parish’s home Oct. 19 and caught him setting fire to a large pile of trash bags.

Joel Connelly, a columnist for the Seattle PostIntelligencer, has a cabin on South Whidbey and was one of the victims. He wrote a victim impact statement detailing the good work that Parish did gardening and caretaking for him. He describes him as a shy young man who came from a very challenged background and has “an almost puppylike need for praise.” “Ryan Parish needs a

break, even if he is convicted and punished,” Connelly wrote, adding that he hopes Parish receives counseling and skills training.

A 34-year-old Oak Harbor man suspected of burglarizing the Ebey Bowl in Coupeville with his girlfriend was recently sentenced to jail. Jason M. Bowen pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court Monday to criminal trespass in the first degree, theft in the third degree and escape from community custody. Deputy Prosecutor David Carman said in court Monday that Bowen was originally charged with burglary, but the prosecution had “proof problems” with the evidence. In addition, Carman said Bowen’s co-defendant, 23-year-old Jasmine Seaward, has disappeared and he was relying on her testimony. She didn’t appear for a Nov. 5 hearing and is currently wanted on a warrant. Judge Vickie Churchill

followed the recommendation worked out in the plea bargain and sentenced Bowen to two months in jail. She also ordered him to pay restitution to the Ebey Bowl. The burglary at the bowling alley on Terry Road was reported on May 29. A deputy found a back door had been forced open. Stolen items included beer, liquor, candy, a laptop computer and hundreds of dollars. A detective with the Island County Sheriff’s Office identified the two suspects through surveillance video. Bowen was on community custody, which is basically probation, at the time of the burglaries. Detectives sent out a press release asking the public for help locating him after the burglary. Bowen’s criminal history includes a 1999 bank robber y conviction, according to court records.

Unless steps are taken to preserve rural buildings, they’re going to disappear,” Goodall added. In order to be considered, agricultural buildings need to have been built prior to 1960. While there are no restrictions made on the nominated barns’ owners, Goodall said the intent of the Heritage Barn program is to honor the building and to encourage preservation. “A positive result of getting a building named to the registry is that the owners will then be encouraged to preserve and take care of them,” said Goodall. “Some of the barns on Ebey’s Prairie have been named to the state historic register, and

group. Even though the weather was cold and very windy, 648 more individual birds were counted than last year. “The most abundant species this year was the pine siskin: we tallied 3,332 of these little guys,” Rosling said. Historically it was a holiday tradition known as the Christmas “side hunt.” The goal was to choose sides, head into the fields with a gun to kill and then pack feathered and furred quarry back to be counted. The side with the most dead birds won. The tradition morphed when Frank Chapman, an ornithologist and officer in the National Audubon Society, offered an alternate tradition. He, along with other conservationists, decided that rather than kill birds, it was better to count them. The first Christmas Bird Census took place Dec.

25, 1900, when 27 citizen scientists counted birds in 25 places from Toronto, Ontario to Pacific Grove, Calif. It’s very satisfying to be part of the longest-running survey of animal populations of any kind, said Frances Wood, a birding expert and the author of a Record column on the topic. “It’s interesting to see how populations of birds change, sometimes the numbers go up, sometimes down,” Wood said. “And then it is exciting to count a very unusual bird, like the brown pelican down at the ferry dock.”

The Christmas Bird Count is a national event and is the longest-running wildlife census in the country, now in its 113th year. Across the country, thousands of volunteers take part in the adventure that has become a holiday tradition among bird enthusiasts. Each of the participants who annually brave rain, wind or snow, to take part in the Christmas Bird Count makes an enormous contribution to conservation. Audubon and other organizations use data collected in this wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations — and thus help guide

conservation action. “I’ve participated in various Christmas bird counts for at least a couple decades,” Wood said. “One year my husband and I initiated a Christmas Bird Count on the northern shore of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Another year we helped set up a count on the west coast of Ecuador. I’ve done them bundled with five layers of clothing, as this last Saturday, or in shorts, T-shirts and sandals as the one in Mexico.” Data from the bird count has been used in countless research articles that influence local, state and national conservation legislation. Therefore, the birders must produce reliable data. “No matter where they are held, the same format and protocol is used,” Wood explained. “I remember during the one in Ecuador at around 2 p.m. the leaders all wanted to quit for siesta and then start again the following morning to finish out the allocated hours.” But Wood kept them on track.

“I explained that we had to keep going, we only had one 24-hour period,” she said. “We decided on a compromise — it really was very hot that day — a quick siesta and then back to the counting.” Luckily, there was no sign of slowing down for local bird counters. The Whidbey group worked hard from 8 a.m. through 4 p.m. and some had gotten up before dawn to inventory the nocturnal birds. The group gathered at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland after a hard day at work to record the number of birds counted, get warm, share experiences and eat. Although the event has been a tradition for over a century nationally, the South Whidbey circle is a new established area, only in its second year, Rosling said. There are other circles around Whidbey Island, including Port Townsend, Edmonds and Everett. North Whidbey birds were counted Dec. 22. Not that South Enders

hadn’t been keeping an eye on local bird populations, Rosling said. South Whidbey has a very skilled and enthusiastic group of bird watchers. “It just so happened that a South Whidbey circle hadn’t been established until 2011 when I applied with National Audubon to initiate an area for South Whidbey,” she said.

Wetland dampens trail planning BY JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter An unexpected discovery has driven up the cost of Freeland Trail and will likely delay the project’s completion. Public Works Director Bill Oakes alerted the Board of Commissioners on Wednesday that a wetland had been identified on the northern section of the planned path along Highway 525.

It was not only a surprise for project planners but it will also affect the total price tag and the project’s timeline. “It’s caused extra work both in design and (wetland) mitigation,” Oakes said. The trail, which will mirror paved paths such as Rhododendron and Kettles Trail on Central Whidbey, will stretch about one mile through Freeland, from the intersection at Main Street to Bush Point Road. They are all part of a larger and long-range county parks plan to build a trail system that snakes along the state highway from Deception Pass to the Mukilteo ferry dock. Segments are to be completed as funding becomes available. As for the latest portion in Freeland, the trail is planned to run along the south side of the highway, providing a pedestrian pathway through town and to a Island Transit park and ride planned at the intersection at Bush Point Road. The surprise wetland is located in the fields across the high-

way from Nichols Brothers Boat Builders and has forced the project to be divided into two phases, Oakes said. The section between Main Street and Cameron Road will be built first and the rest will follow once the county’s hired consulting firm, Otak, has made the necessary design and permitting modifications. Oakes requested an approximately $37,000 amendment to Otak’s contract to address the changes. The increase, which will be voted on by the board Monday, Dec. 24, raises the maximum contract amount to $165,000. Oakes said the inadvertent discovery will require the construction of a trestle that spans the sensitive area. Those costs have yet to be determined but will likely delay completion. According to Oakes, the entire project is expected to run about $1 million. About $800,000 of the tab will be paid with federal grants and the remainder with county road funds. While only about $600,000 of the federal funds have been acquired, Oakes planned to have the rest secured in time for construction on Phase 1 to begin this summer. The hope is that the wetland mitigation planning will be completed in time for construction of both phases to be seamless but there is a good chance phase two will be delayed.

a bank to start the South Whidbey Clinic in the 1970s. “We walked in there. Steve with his pony tail and beard. Two long-haired hippies,” she said. The banker asked them to meet them at the Dog House for a pitcher of beer and by the end of the evening they had secured $40,000 to start the clinic. “But the banking industry has changed. These days local banks have to look at numbers,” Willeford said. “We’re filling a niche.” “This is going back to were we started. We’re going back so be can go forward,” Valis added. Founders Shapiro, Valis, Willeford and her husband Blake strongly believe that investing on Whidbey Island is much more gratifying than investing in the stock market. And they have found many who agree with them.

They had their first meeting last May and soon after the network had 13 couples and five individuals ready to make loans. The group worked out procedures and rules to protect lenders and borrowers and to protect the privacy of those who apply. Applications have begun to trickle in and Valis, who backed one of the first loans, said it is a gratifying experience to aid a promising business. “By using our resources we can make Whidbey Island a more vibrant and connected community” she said. Willeford encourages anyone interested in becoming a member of WILL to contact Alina Frank at eft@ whidbey.net. Willeford said anybody can be a lender as long as they are willing to make a loan and respect confidentiality. To connect with lenders, email Steve Shapiro at shapiro@whidbey.com.
