Baker gets life for slaying

Whidbey’s Gleaners

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Judge Alan Hancock ensured that 63-year-old Robert “Al” Baker will die in prison for the brutal murder of his wife at their Greenbank home last June. Tuesday morning, the Island County Superior Court judge sentenced the Antarctic scientist and pizzeria owner to 52 years in prison, which was the sentence recommendation from Senior Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme. Baker was stone-faced throughout the dramatic hearing in which he was called a “monster” over and over again. Baker took the stand in his own defense last week and claimed he didn’t know how his wife, Kathie, was bludgeoned and strangled in their bed, dragged through the house, wrapped in tarps and stashed in their backyard. The jury didn’t buy it and found him guilty Monday afternoon of murder in the first degree with aggravating factors. Hancock set the sentencing for the next day. Although Baker’s background wasn’t discussed during the trial, Ohme described his life of deception. Baker was convicted of molesting a stepdaughter — which Kathie didn’t know about — and spent five years in prison in California in the early 1990s. Ohme suggested Baker’s claim to be a physicist was fabricated; he said neither he nor a detective could find evidence that Baker has a degree. Ohme said Kathie didn’t know the real Al Baker. “When Kathie went to sleep that last and final time, she had no idea she was living with a monster,” he said. The focus of the sentencing hearing was on Kathie, who was just 53 years old. Hancock SEE BAKER, A36

$50 million bond for Whidbey General hospital? By NATHAN WHALEN South Whidbey Record

Gleeful Gleaners volunteers Sandi Coutts and Gabrielle Baalke pick apples at a home on Maxwelton Road last week.

Volunteer group picks for the hungry By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Fingers were numb, teeth chattered and jackets were zipped. Yet, holding true to their name, a small band of intrepid Gleeful Gleaners volunteers were nothing but smiles and fun during an apple pick at a Maxwelton Road home last week. Indeed, the frosty temperatures did little to dampen their moods.

“We want to have a good time — that’s why we’re Gleeful Gleaners,” said Margaret Moore, one of the non-profit group’s founders. Armed with nothing more than smiles and nifty metal claws mounted on long wooden poles, Moore and two other women — Sandi Coutts and Gabrielle Baalke — in very short and cheery order had several boxes overflowing with Whidbey-grown apples.

In terms of facilities, Whidbey General Hospital is facing stiff competition from its neighbors. Nearby hospitals in recent years have poured tens of millions of dollars into building upgrades. Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett almost two years ago opened a 700,000-square-foot addition at its Colby Campus while Island Hospital in Anacortes completed renovations in 2007 and 2012. Those expansions include the addition of singlepatient rooms, a main tenet of Whidbey General Hospital’s expansion plan. Hospital officials hope the Coupeville-based campus will be the latest medical facility with single-patient rooms, but the plan is contingent on voter approve of a $50 million bond measure that will appear on the November ballot. The proposal needs to pass by a 60 percent supermajority. If approved, the bond would be paid off in 25 years and cost property owners an estimated 32.2 cents per $1,000 assessed property value. The money would fund construction of a new wing that would include 39 single-patient rooms, transform the current patient wing into clinic space, provide room for future expansion and construct a new parking lot, as the new wing would be built on top of the existing parking area. “I think it would make a big difference for the patient experience,” said Belinda SEE HOSPITAL, A36

Three South Whidbey businesswomen will tempt fate this week when they open a joint venture in the space only recently occupied by the Star Store in Bayview. Sheila Streicek of Tres Gringos, and Vicky Brown and her daughter, Christine Maifeld, of Little Brown Farm, have joined forces and are planning a “soft” opening on Friday, Oct. 18, at 11 a.m. The enterprise will be a bit … different, the trio admits. Streicek, formerly vending from a Ken’s Korner location and at the Bayview Farmer’s Market, will offer her signature Mexican food in a traditional deli-like setting. Cold foods meant to be taken home for reheating, and favorites like her $3 tacos, will all be available. “I opened Tres Gringos to create beautiful food at affordable prices on the island,” Streicek said. But a deli is where the similarities with the Star Store will end. Brown and Maifeld are essentially launching a pop-up business that will offer just about everything under the sun, from cookware and supplies to jewelry and fine art. The only requirement is that it be locally made. “If it’s not from Whidbey Island, it’s not here,” Brown said. Reminiscent of a bazaar or a Bayview department store, prices, like inventory, will be across the board, from $20 earrings to $3,200 galleryquality works of art. According to Brown, the idea was never to try to replicate the Star Store, a venture operated by people who have been in the grocery business

On Friday, the three South Whidbey businesswomen are teaming up to open a joint venture in the space formerly occupied by the Star Store. for decades. “I can’t reinvent their wheel and do it better,” Brown said. “What I can do is what I love and that’s supporting local.” Both businesses plan to target island residents, rather than attempt to claim a slice of Whidbey’s seasonal tourism pie. Hand-crafted island products for island residents is the goal, Brown said. The joint venture is, however, only a temporary partnership. Brown is only leasing her portion of the former grocer’s space until the end of the year, Dec. 31. From there, it will be Streicek’s show.

She is hoping by then to have established a stable base and be able to expand with a larger seating area, though not all the details have been worked out yet. As of Monday afternoon, Streicek and her seasonal business partners were still working feverishly to prepare for the opening later this week. “I haven’t gotten past Friday yet,” Streicek laughed. “I just like making really good food and letting people enjoy it,” she said. “This is a great opportunity.” While Friday is a soft opening, a grand opening is scheduled for Nov. 2.

Neil Colburn walks his dog, Karly, on the public boat launch at South Whidbey Harbor on Monday after the dog was rescued from the bluff. South Whidbey Fire/EMS sent its marine response unit to retrieve the dog from the beach after the bluff was deemed too steep for volunteers to walk down from the Edgecliff neighborhood of Langley.

LANGLEY Former mayor’s dog rescued A frightened and seemingly stuck dog was rescued after a long day of yelping and barking from the Edgecliff bluff

Monday afternoon. Karly, the 4-year-old chocolate lab/pit bull mix, was unharmed after chasing a rabbit down the bluff and getting stuck between the bluff and the beach in Langley. Owner Neil Colburn, a former Langley mayor, heard the dog in the afternoon and eventually South Whidbey

Fire/EMS was called to assist in the pooch’s procurement. “I had to call her a lot before she made any noise,” said Candace Culver, Colburn’s wife. While the dog is normally confined to their yard, he was loose at the time, spotted the bounding rabbit and instinct

took over, Neil Colburn said. South Whidbey Fire/ EMS deployed its marine response vessel to the beach by 3:05 p.m., and by 3:15 the dog was retrieved by volunteer firefighter Brandon Callahan, with fellow volunteer Kim Boenish and Neil Colburn also in the boat. “They were outstanding,” he said of the firefighters and Deputy Chief Mike Cotton. Colburn’s wife, upon hearing the call on Cotton’s radio that the dog was safe and sound, was relieved that NAS Whidbey Island did not send its high-angle, rope rescue team all the way to Langley for her dog. “I’m glad,” Culver said. “I personally didn’t want to see the Navy rappelling down the yard.”

FIRE/EMS Thompson Road property for sale

South Whidbey Fire/ EMS hopes to recover some money by selling off a 20-acre property on Thompson Road. The fire district’s commissioners agreed the district should put the two-parcel property on the market. The 20 acres will not be split, however. “We think it will be more marketable this way,” said Chief Rusty Palmer. It was purchased several years ago for more than $236,000 as a future site for a new fire district headquarters, a training facility and an Island

County Sheriff’s Office precinct. None of those plans came to fruition, however, as the district encountered resistance from residents in the area and the site lacked acceptable access to Highway 525. Record reports at the time said the district paid for the property in two installments: $120,676 for 10 acres of wooded land and $111,000 for the adjoining 9.3 acres. “I don’t think we had any lookers,” Palmer said. “That was when the market was really bad.” South Whidbey’s fire district leaders are expecting to lose money on the purchase. They were encouraged by Christina Parker, a real estate agent and a district volunteer firefighter and EMT, to list the property for between $189,000 and $199,000, about a $37,000 loss. “I don’t think we’re ever going to see the property get back to the inflated value that it was,” Palmer said. “It doesn’t help us to be landholders for the sake of holding land.” The fire district has since purchased property on Bayview Road between Bayview School and Good Cheer. South Whidbey Fire/EMS leaders still have plans to build a district office and training facility there, but are waiting for available funding.

Fire boat builders back on track

First-time fire boat builders at North Cross Aluminum in Freeland are back on track with the South Whidbey Fire/EMS’s fire boat time frame, the district’s chief said.

After one of the company’s workers was injured in a motorcycle crash, the shop was down one employee for a time. That slowed production of a new, $500,000 marine response vessel. The project came back with five change orders totaling $8,000, which Chief Rusty Palmer said he would review before a special commissioners meeting Thursday, Oct. 17. “Any construction project will come up with change orders,” he said. The change orders include different insulated material in the pilot house, a different oil change process and safety fender skirt options. As of Monday, Palmer had not reviewed the change orders with his staff and did not have a recommendation for the fire district commissioners. The project, mostly financed by $350,000 in FEMA grants, has a $30,000 reserve to pay for any unexpected costs. Palmer, however, did not anticipate the boat costing that much. “I wouldn’t expect to spend anywhere near that,” he said. North Cross Aluminum won the bid at $479,000. It was the only company to submit a bid and received the contract in April this year. “They’ve been doing a good job,” Palmer said. The boat is expected to undergo sea trials by Dec. 15. South Whidbey Fire/EMS must have all of its paperwork regarding the boat submitted by the end of January 2014 to receive the FEMA grants.

Village by the Sea change Two new council members ready to make impact By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

At a crux in Langley’s history, between an economic downturn and ongoing plans to turn the Village by the Sea into a booming town, the city council will see two new members added to its ranks this November. Margot Jerome and Thomas Gill are running unopposed in their bids for Positions 2 and 5. Joining them is Councilwoman Rene Neff, an incumbent of eight years, for Position 1. All three promised to listen to Langley’s 1,200 residents and guide South Whidbey’s only incorporated city into a new era of prosperity.

Thomas Gill Gill, 30, is no stranger to Langley’s political scene. He’s pursued council seats several times already, in a past election and by appointment. Having no challenger this November guarantees him his long sought after position and the opportunity he’s been hoping for — the chance to serve the city where he was raised as a councilman. “Giving back to the community is the important part to me,” he said. Gill isn’t new to public service, however, having been a member of the Planning Advisory Board since 2010 and serving as chairman since 2011. In that capacity, he worked on a variety of ordinances, from regulations guiding South Whidbey Harbor’s expansion to rules surrounding Langley’s nightlife and landscaping. “We actually get to make policy,” said Gill of his work on the planning board. As an advisory group, the planning board drafts policy but does not adopt it. That authority is reserved for the city council.

One recent item the planning board successfully oversaw was a rezoning of the Edgecliff neighborhood, a measure that limits growth in a residential zone rife with critical areas like a bluff and wetlands. The city council approved the rezone Oct. 7. Gill said he would like to see sewer lines come to that very neighborhood. It’s been a controversial topic and Gill said he agrees the benefit of past proposals did not outweigh the hefty costs of installation. “It was unfair to make everyone pay for it and not everyone could use it,” Gill said. But the aspiring city lawmaker hopes to have another look at the issue and see if a more affordable solution can be identified. At the top of his priorities is reducing water utility costs. Gill said the city could lower charges by abandoning U.S. Department of Agriculture grants or by creating a water utility district, which could serve residences beyond Langley city limits. Sparking business growth is on the minds of many city leaders, and Gill is no exception. He wants to promote Langley’s infrastructure of high-speed Internet and simplify the city’s business rules in hopes of enticing businesses to relocate to the Village by the Sea. “What bothers me is that we’ve stagnated,” Gill said. At odds with that desire, he said, is the lack of affordable housing. One possible solution is an increase in housing, he said, not necessarily a strategic development of low-income housing. “I can’t even find a place to live in the city (downtown) — it’s all too expensive,” Gill said.

Margot Jerome After 15 years in Langley, Jerome is ready to jump into the political realm. The first-time candidate said she finally answered

I’m calling you Out Underdog! That was a dirty, rotten trick with that newspaper. I await your reply... PUNK!! Signed,

#1 villain bAd dOg

the call to serve, though it took being asked a couple of times. Originally, she laughed at the idea. “It’s a thankless job and we all have to take our turn,” she said. A recent stint in a graduate school program for business management and leadership changed her opinion. Taking those classes, she said, taught her how to govern. “I discovered servant leadership,” Jerome said. She is adamant that she does not have an agenda or list of things to accomplish. Her plan is to listen to Langley’s residents and learn what they want and expect from the City Council. “We can create agenda together,” she said. Jerome’s surname may be familiar on South Whidbey. Her husband, Chris Jerome, is a longtime commissioner for the Port of South Whidbey. Specifically, he represents the Langley area for the port district. The city and port district have established close ties recently through their partnership with the South Whidbey Harbor expansion project, but Jerome said she will be sure there is no blurring of the lines. “I won’t be a conduit for the city and port,” she said. A former travel agent, Jerome went back to school to find a focus. She found it in business management and leadership and now wants to bring those skills to Langley. “Leading has more to do with listening than talking or directing,” Jerome said. Since filing for Position 2, Jerome has attended most of Langley’s council meetings and helped organize the recent Langley Economic Forum. Bringing more than 75 people to the first event and hearing people’s ideas on how to jump-start busi-

ness growth in Langley was the type of communication Jerome said she wants more of. “I love pulling people together,” she said. “You build trust and relationships.” Later, she added: “The right answer is always built by support.”

Rene Neff Seeking her third term, Neff is looking to continue the work she and the city council have established the past eight years. “I’m starting to hit my stride,” she said. “I see the town moving in the right direction.” Neff and Jerome were two of the main people driving the Langley Economic Forum. It was sparked by hearing her daughter remark on Langley’s partial attractiveness to young families such as hers, but was missing a vitality to it. “For years, we’ve been waiting for something to come save us,” she said.

to Langley, where it was housed in a massive tent during its first year. The great challenge ahead, said Neff, is filling empty retail space. Landmark sites — the former Edgecliff Restaurant, Porter Building, Dog House Tavern, Mike’s Place — are all empty. She wants to identify ways to foster development there by bringing in places of interaction and commerce. Neff has a stake in bringing more business to the city. She owns Brackenwood Gallery, on the same intersection as Dog House Tavern and Mike’s Place. “I feel like I’m sort of a catalyst to move this place forward,” she said. She proposed that attracting a business to Langley’s light industrial zone on Coles Road could be the type of growth that sparks the city’s development. “It’s like a petri dish waiting for a few good cells to populate it,” she said.

That type of sentiment moved Neff to ask people how they would change Langley or what they would like from the city. She wanted to be ahead of any changes and find ways to shape the city to its residents’ satisfaction. That means connecting with residents and businesses and steering Langley to be “more robust.” As a resident of 25 years, Neff said Langley has changed dramatically. Since her time on the city council, she has been through four administrations, the most recent being one of her appointees — Mayor Fred McCarthy. Neff touted her history of supporting citizens’ concerns, such as late-night noise on Second Street, supporting Langley Main Street Association with city funds and working on economic development through a nowdefunct merchants’ group and the city council. She was instrumental in enticing Island Shakespeare Festival to move from Clinton

Publisher’s column Filing a frivolous lawsuit is not being a good watchdog By Keven Graves

I believe watchdogs have their place in government. Too many people are apathetic about their government, local or otherwise, and that’s a sad condition of our society. I’ve sat through many a local planning commission or city council meeting and gritted my teeth, minutes ticking away into hours, as someone would inevitably stand up and begin asking a flurry of lengthy and complicated questions. While I may have selfishly wanted to go home after a long day, I remained cognizant of the fact that our process of open government allows for everyone to speak up and be heard. Besides, there were often some good questions asked, ones I hadn’t thought of. Anyone willing to become an active participant in the government process deserves respect. Our government leaders are not, and should never be, immune to tough questions. Bill Burnett has gone beyond government watchdog, acting more like a rabid pit bull. Burnett is wont to complain about government waste, but he sued Island County because Commissioner Kelly Emerson was stripped of her chairmanship through her own actions. In his lawsuit, Burnett sought to have Emerson reinstalled as commissioner. The county’s attorneys issued Burnett a list of what was required to move his complaint forward. Burnett, acting as his own attorney, essentially received some free legal advice at the taxpayer’s expense. The 45-day deadline for Burnett to prepare additional documents and file a brief of appellant in Superior Court passed. Throughout this process, Burnett, a frequent critic of coverage by Whidbey News Group newspapers, failed to return phone calls or talk on the record about his lawsuit. For someone who likes to complain that the newspaper fails to cover issues fairly, Burnett has been conspicuously silent. Burnett had his day in court. His lawsuit is languishing. It’s my guess he saw the writing on the wall and was hoping the matter would just vanish without notice. In filing his frivolous lawsuit, Bill Burnett effectively succeeded in making himself part of the problem rather than part of solution. That’s not being a good watchdog.

Republican party is ‘targeting’ America Editor, I need to get this off my chest. America is being targeted by a terrorist organization. This terrorist organization has a name, actually two names, the Republican Party and the spineless wing of the Democratic Party. There are approximately 60 million Americans that have no healthcare insurance because they can’t afford it.

There are approximately 12 million Americans who are long-term unemployed and these same Republican terrorists fight any jobs bills offered up by the more humane American politicians. These same unemployed people, and their children, are losing food stamps to budget cuts championed by the Republican-led Congress. I guess if you’re unemployed then you and your children won’t need to eat. The elderly that depend on Social Security and Medicare to survive are particularly vulnerable to these terrorists and their proposed budget cuts.

We need to address this at a higher level so this doesn’t happen again.” dan Algeo, 43, Langley

“instead of amplified music, maybe have acoustic-style music. i’d like to see the homeowners and the owners of mo’s sit down and hear each other out. We are all in this community together.”

that President Barack Obama gave today. And boy did he stand up to the right wingers and for America. He repeatedly stated that holding America hostage for a ransom just so the Tea Baggers could get their way and do their job was wrong and Obama wasn’t going to give in to them. Over and over Obama said that the way to negotiate is not to give nothing and expect something. He said that the Democrats had done this in the past, where the Republicans got what they wanted and the Democrats got nothing in return. And he’s not gonna do that now. The law has been passed. “Obama Care” passed in 2010 and has been law since. And now just because a few don’t like it they want to hold the country hostage. Obama said that is not the way to negotiate. Obama said he is not going to give in, over and over. He sounded stronger than he ever has. Way to go, Obama. It was a great press conference, and even though reporters tried to make Obama out as the bad guy, he really shut them down. Not by shouting or flinging insults, but by using logic

and by being in the right. It was great to listen to reporters try to box the president in and somehow make him out to be obstructionist, but no way. The reporters trying this tactic were showing their right-wing bias. I’m not saying that all the reporters were biased to the right. Actually few were showing any bias either way. But the ones that were did not get away with it. Finally a law that the majority of Americans want is not going to be minimized or rendered ineffective by a few who attempt to hold Americans hostage to their ideology. And these Tea Baggers are being shown what they truly are — selfish people who don’t care about democracy. And Boehner is being shown for what he is, a coward, more interested in keeping his job than keeping Americans working. The Tea Baggers and Boehner are obviously more interested in what they want — their incomes — than they are in what the majority of Americans want and need. They are willing to sacrifice the incomes of other people, and ultimately the creditworthiness of the U.S.A., for their own ends. Whew! I didn’t think I was going to go on that long. Cheers, ERIC SNOW Clinton

“i think the police should be called to see if there is a violation. There should be a track record to document all the things going on before city council moves forward with a decision.” Terry metzen, 67, clinton

Falcon senior Nick Bennett sprints through the end zone to his teammates after catching a go-ahead two-point pass with seven seconds remaining against Archbishop Murphy on Friday, Oct. 11. The 22-21 win was the first in South Whidbey’s history against Archbishop Murphy.

Falcons score go-ahead two-point pass to beat Wildcats By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record History was made Friday night on Waterman Field as South Whidbey football defeated Archbishop Murphy for the first time. Trailing by one point with just seven seconds left in the game, South Whidbey’s play callers put a rally on the line. The Falcons could have kicked the extra point and tied the game with hopes of winning in overtime. But on South Whidbey’s homecoming night, momentum had swung its way and the Falcons went for two. Miraculously, it worked, sending a filled grandstand into a frenzy. Archbishop Murphy tried a couple of deep throws as the seconds ticked away, but both fell incomplete and time expired. Hearing the final whistle, South Whidbey’s students and even some parents rushed the field, surrounding the Falcon players. “It’s unbelievable beating Archbishop Murphy for the first time,” said Falcon senior Nick Bennett, who caught the go-ahead two-point pass. “With all the alumni here seeing us beat that team for the first time. I’ll always remember this one.” After a turnover-addled first half, the teams were tied at seven points apiece. South Whidbey managed its first-half score at the trailing seconds on a stalwart run

Falcon junior lineman Pierce Jackson (73) falls on a loose ball and recovers a fumble by Archbishop Murphy in the second quarter Friday, Oct. 11. by senior quarterback Nick French, who dragged defenders a few yards into the end zone before senior Cooper Nichols booted in the extrapoint kick. Out of the homecoming ceremony halftime, in which French took part, South Whidbey had to kick off to Archbishop Murphy. The Wildcats marched downfield on a nearly five-minute drive and scored. Wildcat quarterback Nolan Rogge punched in a 2-yard run, followed by kicker Mason Bailey’s extra point, for a 14-7 lead in the third quarter. South Whidbey’s offense

failed to get a first down and punted to its own 46-yard line on the next possession. The shortened field allowed Archbishop Murphy to score after a deep pass by Rogge to Ryan Dorney at the 1-yard line. Wildcat running back Taylor Gibson pounded in the short touchdown for a 21-7 lead with 3:06 left in the quarter. The Falcons answered on the ensuing possession, putting together an 11-play, 47-yard touchdown drive. French threw a quick toss to senior Kale Reichersamer near the goal line who stretched out for the end

zone pylon as he was tackled by two Wildcats. That goal brought the crowd to life with mere seconds left in the third quarter. South Whidbey’s defense put Archbishop Murphy deep into its own territory. Falcon senior Nick Bennett recorded his second sack of the day, dropping Rogge at the Wildcats’ 15-yard line and forcing fourth down with 25 yards to convert. Both teams traded turnovers on downs with their next possessions. South Whidbey’s defense stiffened on the next play, causing a turnover on downs when

Falcon senior quarterback Nick French throws a pass against Archbishop Murphy on Oct. 11. Archbishop Murphy failed to convert on fourth and short on its own 37-yard line with 2:42 remaining. The Falcons converted a fourth down on the power running of Kohl Hunter. A few plays later, South Whidbey was bailed out of an incomplete pass on third down by a roughing-thepasser penalty which spotted the Falcons on the 7-yard line. French threw to Reichersamer who was tackled at the 2-yard line. South Whidbey called a timeout with 29 seconds left. The

Falcons called a similar play, but the Wildcats were on Reichersamer for no gain. With seconds ticking away, French took the shotgun snap and ran in the score up the middle. South Whidbey sent its kicking unit on the field for the extra-point attempt. Falcon junior Parker Collins took the snap, then the formation broke and several receivers ran into the end zone with Collins rolling out toward the Wildcats’ sideline. He threw the ball, wobbling in something that was definitely not a tight spiral, but Bennett bailed him out with a leaping catch and the two-point conversion, giving South Whidbey a 22-21 lead. “Best flopping duck to win a game, I’ll take it,” Collins said. Bennett added, “Parker just lobbed it, I was like ‘I gotta go get that.’ I went up and caught it. I don’t think I have any water in my body to start crying, but I wanted to start crying. It was amazing.” The emotional, come-frombehind win sets up a winnerto-the-playoffs game with Whidbey Island rivals South Whidbey and Coupeville on Friday night at Coupeville. As 1A teams in the Cascade Conference, South Whidbey is playing for the secondplace spot behind King’s. Coupeville will face King’s on Oct. 25.

Tour brought fungi fun to South Whidbey By SARA HANSEN South Whidbey Record On a misty morning Sunday, people gathered on South Whidbey to learn more about the fungi around them. “They have a certain mystique about them because of their deliciousness and their dangerousness,” Maureen Freehill said. Freehill was a mushroom enthusiast for a while. She took a class in the 1980s at The Evergreen State College and was hooked. When she heard about the “Walk and Talk with Fungi Tour” at the Whidbey Institute in Clinton she signed up immediately. Approximately 20 people attended the morning event Saturday, Oct. 12, which was presented by the Whidbey Camano Land Trust. The land trust planned to host one walking tour, but because the first class filled up within four hours, the nonprofit added a second tour, said Janelle Castro, the organization’s outreach and communications manager. “It’s the right climate of warm and wet for mushrooms right now,” said Castro. “I was blown away by how many different types of fungus were out last Friday.” The land trust partnered with the Whidbey Institute to use its trails for the tour. Leading the tour was Ida Gianopulos, a Whidbey Camano Land Trust conservation assistant. Mushroom foraging is a popular tradition in Gianopulos’ family. She’s been searching for them since she could first walk — her mom is Swedish and it’s a very popular activity in that culture. “I’m not an expert,” Gianopulos said. “I’m an enthusiast. I enjoy sharing that with others.” Gianopulos is an ecologist,

so she looks at how different elements of the environment fit and fight together. “Fungi are a dominant force in our Northwest conifer forest. Without them these forests would not exist,” Gianopulos said. Right away Gianopulos found an example on the trail: brown rot fungi. This fungus grows on dead trees and consumes the cellulose inside, which is the complex structural sugar that makes up the cell walls of plants. The only thing left when the fungus is finished is the lignin — the molecule that makes up wood and that no living organism can consume. The rot fungi have special enzymes that can dissolve it to make way for their cellulose consumption. “It never breaks down,” Gianopulos said. “It crumbles and creates the forest floor.” That’s why these woods have soft floors and absorb so much moisture, Gianopulos said. Another type of fungi that is all around the forest is mycorrhizal fungi. It lives symbioti-

The mycelium, which fungus is much bigger than is the living body of the the fruit it actually produces. fungus, forms sheaths on a Gianopulos said. It’s hard to tree’s roots to take the simple sugars it needs to survive. In return, it stretches into the forest, bringing nutrients and water the tree wouldn’t receive on its own. Certain types of mycorrhizal fungi are associated with certain types of trees. For example, Oregon truffles are found growing under Douglas firs, Gianopulos said. Another way to identify mushrooms is by their smell. Some smell like fish, cleaning products, or dried fruits, Gianopulos said. Chanterelles sometimes smell like dried apricots.

tell how far the mycelium stretches in the forest. Mushrooms also contain chitin, which is also found in arthropods and crustaceans. Gianopulos said this is what makes fungi different from plants. There were also examples of fungi fighting along the trail. One of the logs contained three different types at war with one another, and Gianopulos said that if the log were to be cut open, you would see a black line where the battle was raging. Each fungus releases chemicals which create a zone line that repels the other. “They are not happily coexisting,” Gianopulos said. “They are tolerating each other and staying on their side of the log.” Gianopulos offered a few tips for mushroom foragers.

MANAGING BROKER CERTIFIED RESIDENTIAL SPECIALIST

GO SHOPPING! Ever notice how you feel good browsing through a full-service department store? Mannequins are impeccably dressed with the layered look. Belt buckles are polished brass and pants are a perfect, tailored fit. Colors are coordinated, and everyone in the “group” has a smile as they sit motionless in a casual setting. The price is usually full retail. Selling a home parallels that department store situation. You can take the discount store approach, offering your home “as-is” at below market prices, or you can merchandise it properly and attract a full retail purchaser. Merchandising begins with a walk-through of your home to uncover needed repairs and other improvements. Your agent, playing the role of the interested buyer, makes a list of items in need of attention, then asks you to complete them before showing the home to prospects. Merchandising involves more than repairs, though. It sets the stage for buyers, making them feel at home. From fresh flowers to the dining table set for a king’s banquet, every room in the house is “staged” for maximum buyer appeal. Your agent will explain details such as proper lighting, furniture arrangement, and the absence of pets. Complete information about the home should be displayed, along with a property profile buyers can take with them. Why not merchandise your home when you sell? It can bring ready buyers, eager to pay for the image you create.

helping them and ringing them up. Bell, who has owned the little-bit-of-everything store for five years, credited the shop’s recent rescue from the brink of closing to its willingness to serve customers. “I’ve had people come to my house 7:30 at night because they had a leak,” Bell said. She had an uncertain and frightening choice before her this summer. “Did I think I’d be successful?” Bell asked. “I had no idea. I just knew I had to try something.” The owner of the iconic shop in Clinton moved the store to the Ken’s Korner Shopping Center in July. She had watched business dip $23,000 between October 2012 and June 2013 — unprecedented in her time as the store’s owner. Bell was reminded of words that her grandmother used to say to her: be big. “I knew that if I stayed down there, I’d have to close,” Bell said. She went bold, uprooting a Clinton fixture and relocating to the shopping center at a major traffic hub. Ken’s Korner was an ideal location at the crossroads of Clinton, Langley and Freeland, and already had a draw in the Red Apple grocery store. Moving the shop was one of the biggest risks she has taken since she purchased the store from Mary Harwell, wife of Jim Harwell for whom the store is named, in April 2008. “Business is a gamble,” Bell said. “I love adventure. You have to open those doors when you can and experience life.” Since following her gut instinct and moving the shop, foot traffic and sales have increased. She didn’t want to divulge how much sales improved, but orders are up 35 percent from 2012. One of the store’s greatest assets is the staff. They work hard, are plenty competent and genuinely care about customers, Bell said. Bell works seven days a week and only takes off Tuesday and Thursday mornings. On those days, longtime Jim’s Hardware employees MaryAnn Davis and Linda Alexander open the store and answer people’s questions about everything from salmon tackle to threaded rods. “All three of us grey-

Becky Bell haired old ladies love being back there helping people,” Bell laughed. There are also volunteers like BikerBob Akers, who repairs windows and set up the store’s point-of-sale system; Jim Engstrom and Larry Corradini, who helped set up the new shop’s shelves and are the resident fishing experts. “And they help me drink my coffee,” Bell laughed. Being a woman in the hardware business was a daunting task at first, she said. Along the way, however, she learned a great deal about her store’s products and their functions. When someone comes to the register with something she doesn’t know, she asks the customer more about it. Posing the right questions has helped her stay on top of consumer trends, too. When someone asks for a specific product and Jim’s Hardware doesn’t carry it, Bell is sure to order it when she can. “I’m always learning,” Bell said. “That’s what makes doing this interesting.” Bell credits her store’s success to following her gut to relocate, even though it was difficult and risky. Hiring and retaining the right employees and following her desire to run a communitydriven shop is a big factor as well. Then, there’s the customer-focused service at Jim’s Hardware, a legacy Bell wants to live up to. As a third customer entered the shop looking for a toilet plunger, Bell sees him bring one to the register and warns him that it can be a bit stiff. When he tried, with some vigor, to push down the plunger, Bell noticed it received a crack. She grabs him a new one, rings him up and sends him on his way, a good 20 minutes past closing time.

Performing arts leaders develop central Langley location Stacie Burgua

By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record In recent years, several South Whidbey non-profit groups have coalesced around Langley Middle School. It wasn’t exactly a planned coming together, but it’s proving fortuitous to galvanize the city’s reputation as the performing arts hub of South Whidbey. While the partnership is still young, the enterprising women who lead these organizations are already looking for ways to work together and capitalize on each others’ strengths. Whidbey Island Center for the Arts, Island Dance, Island Shakespeare Festival and, most recently, Whidbey Children’s Theater now call the campus home.

Executive Director Stacie Burgua has led Whidbey Island Center for the Arts since 2000. She joined the group in 1997 and has watched it grow over the years into an organization that has its own performances, learning programs and is creating new partnerships. As a non-profit organization, the business model is different from for-profit ventures but in the end the goal is the same — to grow and be successful. It takes work and dedication, but setting up shop in the right location is a big ingredient in the recipe of success. “We have a remarkable community that shows how much this center means to them,” Burgua said.

At Prima she wears many hats - PR and marketing, communications, finances, community relations, and general oversight of the restaurant.

Rachel Clark, Jenn’s sister, has been involved with the restaurant off and on since the beginning, however Rachel and her husband Lucas made the permanent move to the island and as Prima’s managers in 2010. In 2013, a formal partnership between the Jurriaans and the Clarks was made, with Rachel and Lucas becoming shareholders in the company and creating an expanding family business. Rachel’s role at Prima is a huge one - she is responsible for all things in the bar (ordering, costing, menu creation) as well as scheduling and management of the front of the house along with Lucas.

Years ago, a friend told Shirley Hendricson that she would eventually own her own business. Shirley, of course, thought she was crazy. But this year the friend’s prophecy came true as Shirley took the leap from customer to business owner. Wild Birds Unlimited, purchased in July from long-time owners, Joel and Linda Mooney, has reopened in its new “nest” in Freeland, a larger space with plenty of windows for bird-watching. After 17 years of living and working on the island, Shirley is now a first-time business owner. The team at the Wild Birds store is committed to promoting natural bird habitat and healthy bird feeding practices. The new store is truly all about the birds – and the bird watchers.

Lindsey Shannon

Look, any licensed realtor, broker can ask you what you’re looking for, and show you a bunch of properties, or, if you’re selling, pull comps to set a price and do the marketing (MLS, flyers, Open Houses, Internet, etc.) … But what I try to do is get to know you as a person, as a family, as someone with dreams and plans and needs. I understand that buying and selling real estate is a BIG decision, and you want someone who’s knowledgeable and supportive to talk it over with. I try to make sure that you end up in a place that makes the most sense for you, financially and emotionally, now and in the future. Chances are that once I get to know you, I can come with questions, issues and possibilities you hadn’t even considered, so that, at the end of the day, you’ll feel positive and confident that you made a good decision. You want information; that’s what this web site is all about http://www. viewwhidbeyhomes.com/ Go ahead and poke around – I’m sure you’ll find lots of useful stuff, and when you’re ready, please give me a call at 360-672-1512 or send me an email at whidbeyhomes@yahoo.com Let’s get to know each other.

A unique blend of sound and vibrational therapy and physical bodywork... a deeply nurturing, relaxing, and rejuvenating experience for the body, mind, heart and soul. Just entering the warmth and beauty of Barb’s massage studio, looking out to the water and mountains, your massage begins. Laying on the luxurious vibro acoustic water table with speakers inside the table, musical vibrations and warmth of the water in the table rise up through your body. You feel like you’re floating on air, and your whole body says “Ahhh...” With 28 years of skill and experience as a massage therapist, Barb’s healing touch can easily be recognized and felt through the nurturing essence of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi bodywork. What’s truly amazing, and sooooo relaxing, is also being massaged from the inside out by physical vibrations and harmonic tones of Tibetan Singing Bowls played directly on the body. Stress easily melts away, muscles let go, mind chatter disappears, as you sink deep down inside—and then re-emerge with a sense of inner peace and an inner glow that you take out the door with you. “An unforgettable, transforming experience that you’ll truly love~~I guarantee it!”

Over the years, the center launched a series of art shows where local artists feature their work, and added more music festivals and performances. Burgua hopes that embracing new ideas, programs and partnerships will result in continued growth for the center. She said she wants to see new dimensions of performances with creative minds coming together to form innovative theater. “It will be fun to see what unfolds,” Burgua said. The center will be collaborating with Island Dance in their first production together in April. “I love having (Island Dance) next door,” she said. “It’s a very

made one of its biggest changes to date — moving into the old middle school auditorium. Led by Executive Director Cait Cassee, the theater has made much progress transforming the old school building into offices and classrooms, she said. The organization moved into the space in July. The theater needed a space with more financial stability for them to manage. The space will help bring more programs and classes to students, she said. The move also brings a lot of opportunity to work with the school district and develop new after-school classes for students to attend. Cassee said she was excited to work on classes for students who need more to do after school. This is Cassee’s first year as executive director after being involved with the theater for seven

years as a parent volunteer. Cassee said she wears a lot of hats in her role as director, from communicating with the board and staff to juggling the day-to-day operations of a small organization. Cassee has seen the program grow to include off-island participants this year. Again, location is key. The theater is between WICA and Island Dance on the middle school campus. This is a happy situation that is a sign of good things to come, she said. “Collaboration is right around the corner,” she said. From recent economic forums, Cassee said it is clear that performing arts has a powerful economic impact on the Langley community. “The theater exists because the community sees it as a valuable resource,” she said.

Why do women work in your hardware store? “They are the best people for the job and the roles they fulfill. Women are multi-taskers, they are perceptive and ask good questions.” That’s what Diane Ellingson, owner of Freeland Ace Hardware for 17 years, feels. What do her women staffers think? They agree. We are skilled individuals, do-it-yourselfers, who get out of our safe zone and try things. We’re constantly learning and passing along tips. We are fixers with well rounded knowledge. Communicators, teachers who can dissect the problem and simplify the process. We have a creative perspective in relation to home décor, color, design and trends. We remain sensitive, patient, empathetic. “We are emotionally available” says Heidi Jarvis from the Garden Center. As well as energetic and confident. “At home, I try to repair things myself before asking for help. Working at a hardware store has been a great education” says Kari 331-6799 Gerow, store manager.

Gleeful Gleaners Gabrielle Baalke, Margaret Moore and Sandi Coutts unload boxes of apples for Whidbey Island Nourishes last week after harvesting them from a home off Maxwelton Road.

Of course, when you’re working to fill hungry bellies with healthy food that would otherwise go to waste, a little chilly weather is nothing to fret about. Hatched in 2010, the allvolunteer organization was created to do just that — collect organic fruit on private property and give it to groups such as Good Cheer Food Bank & Thrift Stores and the South Whidbey Bayview Senior Center. So far it’s been quite a successful endeavor, bringing in an estimated 12,500 pounds of fruit in the first three years. Volunteers have already hit 27 properties this year and expect to end the 2013 season with a haul of more than 7,000 pounds. In all, that will total 19,500 pounds of perfectly good, healthy, organic food grown right here on Whidbey

Chris Blasko Serving the community is a family tradition

Don’t tell the kids, but when Santa rides through the neighborhoods atop the red South Whidbey Fire/EMS fire engine, he gets a little help. Four years ago, this fourth-generation Whidbey Islander climbed atop the big sleigh, turned on the flashing red lights and called out to children by name. He likes traditions. His great grandfather, Leon Burley, was Whidbey’s first school bus driver, and his grandfather, Robert Burley, and great uncle, Lincoln Wildes, were among the first official firefighters at the Maxwelton Fire Station. Chris has wanted to be a firefighter since grade school. That’s why in 1998 he undertook training with South Whidbey Fire/EMS and began his life as a volunteer firefighter. “The feeling you get from helping someone out during one of the worst moments of their life is hard to describe,” said Chris. “Being a volunteer pays back in spades. There’s nothing like it, and I strongly encourage others to take part.” For more visit:

Private property owners tend to be Gleaners fans as well. Some are retired and can’t pick fruit anymore ,and group volunteers provide them with some of the rescued bounty. For others, such as Michael and Lori McGibney of Freeland who have Asian pears, apples, plums and several other fruits on their land, it’s simply too much for one couple to eat. Giving it to the Gleaners was an easy choice. “It’s a great way to give back to the community but, more importantly, the food doesn’t go to waste by going to people who can use it,” Michael McGibney said.

Madyson Hunter and Benjamin Nerison bask in the glow of being selected as South Whidbey High School’s homecoming queen and king Friday night. The seniors were busy during the homecoming football game against Archbishop Murphy, as Hunter is the cheer squad’s captain, and Nerison performed with the band.

The Falcon blue velvet crown fit nicely atop the head of South Whidbey High School senior Benjamin Nerison on Friday night. More importantly, it matched well with the blue on homecoming queen Madyson Hunter’s cheer outfit. Their smiles beamed from the stage at Waterman Field during the football game’s halftime celebration Oct. 11. Hundreds of people packed the grandstand and dozens lined the railing, inching up to get as close as possible during the homecoming ceremony and coronation. The court’s finalists included Jack Hood, Nick French, Madi Boyd and Maia Sparkman. South Whidbey High School’s homecoming featured four floats. Each was decorated with an aroundthe-world theme by the four grades. The freshman class rolled out in an African safarithemed float, complete with a silhouetted backdrop of giraffes among massive banyan trees and elephants. Sophomores featured a Parisian theme, including an Eiffel Tower of white lights, paper mustaches and berets.

Benjamin Nerison takes a quick “selfie” with dad Eric Nerison, the principal at Langley Middle School, after the South Whidbey High School senior was crowned homecoming king Friday, Oct. 11. The junior class went south, about as far south as the globe will spin, to Antarctica. Several students were dressed as penguins. South Whidbey’s seniors opted for a warmer environment and had a junglethemed float, with paper vines and fake parrots.

By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record South Whidbey residents put the pedal to the pavement during a community bike ride on Sunday. The ride, put together by The Hub and Occupy Your Bike, aimed to promote healthy lifestyles for people of all ages. The event followed a week-long bicycle

education training course by volunteers for students at the Langley Middle School. Students learned bike skills, such as changing tires, maintaining bikes and road safety. The group of about 25 rode from the middle school to Dave Mackie Park along Maxwelton Road. This was the second time the bike group has

completed the 7.5 mile ride. Derek Hoshiko, an organizer for the bike group, said he wants the event to help build resilient relationships with people in the community. “It’s important to have respectful discourse with drivers and cyclers and maintain a respectful dialogue,” he said. Hoshiko said he wanted to show students that they don’t always need a car to get to school. “We advocate the use of bikes for transportation, not just for sport,” he said.

Hoshiko’s wife, Tatiana Hoshiko, helped set up the picnic in the park afterwards. She is aspiring to be a strong bicyclist and the group helps her achieve that, she said. “They’re really positive, supportive and never competitive,” Tatiana Hoshiko said. Langley resident George Henny attended the ride with his son Liam, who is in the eighth grade. Henny said he enjoyed the ride and watching his son take the lead throughout the route. It’s important to develop relationships

Role model for firefighting and fishing Being a single mom of two kids while working full time is not for the faint of heart. But then add intensive training to become a firefighter and EMT to that already busy life and you wonder how volunteer Heidi Beck manages it all. As it turns out, she does an amazing job at everything. She even recently married Jon Beck, Deputy Chief with South Whidbey Fire/EMS. “Now we’re a husband and wife team going out on calls.” While she would be a natural role model for any young woman, she had two role models of her own, both of whom have inspired her throughout life. Beck’s dad, Richard Husom, was a firefighter when she was a little girl and remembers him getting emergency calls and rushing out the door to help those in need. And growing up on Whidbey Island, Beck would go fishing with her grandfather, Frank Deffries, on Bush Point near the Admiralty Lighthouse. For more visit:

Tour to bring brides, big bucks to Whidbey island By SARA HANSEN South Whidbey Record The wedding and event markets are growing, and businesses on Whidbey Island are looking to take advantage of it. Gloria Mickunas, owner of Whidbey Party Girls! is co-producing Weddings on Whidbey and Events Tour on Nov. 9. There’s no way to get a taste of the entire island in a single day, she said, but this cumulative tour helps visitors come close to that experience. “It’s not Clinton, Oak Harbor, or Langley competing against each other; it’s about everyone working together,” Mickunas said. “My community is Whidbey Island.” Tobey Nelson, Weddings on Whidbey and Events Tour co-producer, said if more event business comes to the island it will have a trickle-down effect for everyone in the area to benefit from. “We wanted to make a big enough pie to eat our fill, and have enough to share with others,” Nelson said. Nelson is also the owner of Vases Wild, which is a studio that offers floral services on the island. The tour starts at the historic Crockett Barn where people will check in. Each venue will have an array of different vendors, from caterers to the rental companies, who will be available for questions. Other venues include Garrison Hall at Fort Casey Inn, Ciao, Bayleaf and Captain Whidbey Inn. Shuttles will be available to take participants to and from the different venues. “Where on the island do you want to be, what do you want it to look like, and what do you want to have?” Mickunas asked. “That’s what people can find out on this tour.”

Photo by Vail Studio

A couple poses for a photo at Fort Casey, which is a popular spot for weddings and events on the island. Mickunas says the wedding season is from February to November, not just 10 nice weeks in the summer. This event will showcase the island’s offerings year-round. “Our community needs this,” Mickunas said. “A February wedding can make a big difference.” Whidbey Island is a great location for destination weddings because of the proximity to Seattle. When visitors have to travel to the San Juans, it can be quite a trek. “We need to brand and educate the community that Whidbey Island is the closest place to far away,” Mickunas said. “We are so alive and vibrant, and we get less rain than Seattle.” The event is also sponsored by the Island County Economic Development Council. Seattle has very successful wedding shows,

and this will help showcase what this area has to offer, said Sami Postma, executive assistant for the council. In coordination with the event, The Whidbey Island Wedding and Event Guild is also being formed, Nelson said. That will give businesses a chance to work together and keep bringing event business to the island. Many island vendors are excited for this marketing initiative to happen. “This is a springboard for the industry to blow up here,” said Ali Vail, owner of Vail Studio.

Erik and Ali Vail are a husband and wife photography team. They live in Oak Harbor and would love for more business to come to the island. “Unfortunately we’ve had to advertise as Seattle photographers because that’s where the market is,” said Erik Vail. “The island is a hidden gem for weddings.” Every destination wedding matters, regardless of the size, Mickunas said. If 200 people are coming to the island for a wedding, that translates into car rentals, dining out at restaurants and

lodging that all goes back into the community. The national average budget for a wedding in 2012 was $28,427, according to a Real Weddings Survey released by TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com. It’s the second year in a row that number has increased since the economic downturn in 2008. “This industry is a growing industry and we don’t want to miss out on this opportunity,” Mickunas said. One of the caterers participating in the event is Vincent Nattress, who graduated

from Coupeville High School in 1986. He moved back to the island in 2009 to raise his family. He loved growing up on the island, and wanted his two daughters to have that same experience. Upon returning to the island, he and his wife started a catering company called Cultivar. His menus are inspired by the seasons. Promoting weddings and events on the island is important because it affects everyone, Nattress said. “We spend thousands of dollars on employees, and on the food we buy from farmers, and we’re a tiny catering company,” Nattress said. This a great opportunity for vendors to network. Most of the time at events they just have enough time to exchange cards and that’s all. Now, they can work together to bring more business to the island, Ali Vail said. Even though they photograph weddings for a living, the Vails said they still get butterflies and shed a few tears at every one they shoot. “We fall in love with every couple, so my favorite wedding is always the last one I shot,” Erik Vail said. The tour is from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Nov. 9, and features more than 45 local vendors. Tickets must be purchased ahead of time. Regular tickets are $20 each, and for those who want to beat the rush, VIP tickets are $35 and allow people to view venues one hour earlier. For more information visit weddingsonwhidbey.net

“Blithe Spirit” concerns novelist Charles, who invites eccentric clairvoyant Madame Arcati to his house to conduct a séance. She inadvertently summons Charles’ first wife, Elvira, who has been dead for seven years. The Madame leaves after the séance, unaware that she has summoned Elvira. Only Charles can see or hear Elvira, and his second wife, Ruth, does not believe Elvira exists. The ghostly Elvira makes continued and increasingly desperate efforts to disrupt Charles’ current marriage. She finally sabotages his car in the hope of killing him so that he will join her in the spirit world, but it is Ruth rather than Charles who is killed. Now Charles has two playful spirits on his hands. Tickets cost $15 for youths and matinee performances, $18 for seniors and military members, and $22 for adults.

Wednesday, October 16, 2013 • The South Whidbey Record

Supporters give fond adieu to long-time lawmaker “I would not be where I am today without this woman” — Helen Price Johnson

By SARA HANSEN South Whidbey Record People began to cheer when former state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen entered the room. “We are here for a single purpose, to thank Mary Margaret Haugen for serving this community,” said Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. Approximately 100 residents from all over Whidbey Island descended upon the Coupeville Recreation Hall Wednesday to thank Haugen for her decades of service representing the 10th Legislative District, which represents Island County and parts of Skagit and Snohomish counties. With all of her political accomplishments — the creation and passage of the Growth Management Act, requiring health insurers to include mammograms as basic coverage, funding hundreds of projects through gas tax increases, creating the Office of Farmland Preser vation and the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation just to name a few — Haugen still found time to connect with her constituents. “She has a remarkable

Former state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen gets a hug from a thankful supporter Wednesday, Oct. 9, at the Coupeville Recreation Hall. For her 30 years of service, islanders presented her with a hybrid rhododendron named after her. gift to make everyone she comes into contact with feel like the most important person in the room,” Price Johnson said. Even with her busy schedule, she would always remember birthdays, anni-

versaries, and find the time to send out thank you cards. Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard and Price Johnson both agreed Haugen served as mentor for them when they started serving in local government. Both said they

sought her advice. “I would not be where I am today without this woman,” Price Johnson said. “She is a personal mentor for me.” Haugen was called to the stage and presented with a

surprise to honor her years of service: a rhododendron named after her. Frank Fujioka, a hybridist at Meerkerk Gardens, created the hybrid rhododendron and registered it internationally with the

Royal Horticultural Society in May. When selecting a rhododendron to be named after Haugen, Fujioka said he had a few thoughts on what qualities it should embody. “I wanted it to bloom heavily and for it to be reliable,” Fujioka said. The rhododendron Haugen received is the 10-year-old parent that was used for the first Mary Margaret Haugen hybrid rhododendron. Touched by the gesture, Haugen dabbed her eyes with a tissue and cracked a joke about her sensitive nature. “My five older brothers used to say my bladder was behind my eyes,” Haugen said. Haugen graciously accepted the rhododendron and said she could not thank everyone enough for their support over the past 30 years. “I couldn’t have done it without you,” Haugen said. “I was your advocate in Olympia.” She also spoke about supporting the bill to legalize gay marriage in the state. Haugen said her grandchildren told her they believe it was one of the most important things she has ever done. “The people on this island challenged me, and I couldn’t have done it without them,” Haugen said. Haugen said she is proud of her political career and it was the constituents who made that possible. At the end of the ceremony, people mingled and visited with Haugen, catching up like old friends over coffee, pie and ice cream. She made her way around the room, making sure she talked to everyone who came to honor her. “I miss the people most,” Haugen said about her days in public office.

said he agreed with Jami Hill, Kathie’s niece, that she should no longer be called Kathie Baker, but referred to her by her maiden name or just “Kathie.” In comments and letters read in court, friends and family members described Kathie as a beautiful, kind, loving woman who was a respected scientist. A colleague wrote that she was the

first meteorologist to work for Raytheon Corporation; she and Baker worked at the science station in Antarctica. Friends and family traveled from across the country to watch the trial and speak at the sentencing hearing. “Kathie was the shining light of our family,” Kathie’s brother David Hill said. He described his sister as being “deeply in love” with her husband and that the family had accepted him with open arms. “In my opinion, he’s a

monster,” he said. “He does not deserve any leniency.” Amy Grafinger described the loss of her best friend. “There’s no way for me to sit here and tell you everything that Kathie meant to me,” she said. “She was an incredible person who thought about other people, who was generous and kind.” Jami Hill, said the family had suffered terrible tragedies recently, and Kathie had helped her “put the pieces together.” “Her love lit the world,”

she said, adding that, “watching her joy was tremendous.” Struggling through tears, she also said Baker was considered part of the family and had attended funerals of her father and other family members. “Knowing what the family has suffered, he selfishly still decided to take another life,” she said. Baker declined to make a statement before he was sentenced.

Hawkins, who has been a nurse at Whidbey General Hospital for 30 years. The biggest complaint patients have, she said, is having a second person in the room and being asked to move from room to room. She added that the current rooms are extremely cluttered for patients, especially when families are visiting. “It can get overstimulating for patients,” Hawkins said. She added the single rooms would lead to more satisfaction, and it would give patients more privacy and a better place to sleep.

Providence’s tower expansion was larger than Whidbey General’s plans. The new tower gives the facility 491 beds between its two Everett campuses located on Colby and Pacific avenues. It also has room to add an additional 112 rooms, but Providence would have to get state approval through the Certificate of Need before that could happen, hospital spokeswoman Cheri Russum said in an email. Tom Brennan, chief strategy officer for Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, said the tower was built for a 50-year life span. The new tower included mostly private rooms and some semi-private rooms. While the older buildings do have double rooms, Brennan said staff works to keep one patient per room as much as possible. “Patients would prefer a private room,” Brennan said. He noted that there is room for families to visit their loved ones too. “We want to make sure the family feels comfortable,” Brennan said. Providence’s rooms provide better infection control, better noise control and equipment to help hospital staff. Brennan noted that the rooms have lifts in them to help move patients. Even a patient that weighs 150 pounds can cause an injury if an employee attempts to lift them alone. Whidbey General Hospital officials have noted the importance of having lifts in rooms. Currently employees have to wheel lifts into hospital rooms. Hawkins said the current rooms aren’t big

enough to accommodate equipment. Providence’s new tower also improved technology, gave doctors larger operating rooms, and allowed for the transition to a level II trauma center. The expansion in Everett cost approximately $448 million and was funded by the Providence health system and through public debt. Anacortes’ Island Hospital opened a 70,000-square-foot building containing a full-service lab, diagnostic imaging, emergency care center and a floor dedicated to acute care and intensive care nursing that featured private rooms, according to Island Hospital spokesman Dennis Richards. 2008 saw the opening of renovated birth center, lobby and support areas. Island Hospital’s expansion was funded by a $30.5 million general obligation bond that voters passed with a 79 percent majority. Island opened a new medical arts pavilion in 2012 that included a cancer care center and a physical occupational and speech therapy department. The new building cost $10.3 million and was paid for with hospital revenues, which was also helped by a New Markets Tax Credit program, according to Richards.

Leveling the field Whidbey General Hospital Board President Anne Tarrant said the hospital’s proposed expansion will help level the playing field between the Coupeville-based hospital and neighboring facilities. She said the singlepatient rooms will provide better privacy, will be safer for employees and provide better infection control. Voters will decide on the hospital’s future during the November general election, which marks the second time hospital leaders will send the proposal to voters. Two years ago, 55.49 percent of the voters approved the bond, which was short of the 60 percent supermajority needed for approval. Tarrant said the current and previous proposals are identical. She said the expansion will meet the hospital’s current and future needs. “We just want to take care of our patients and not fight an antiquated facility,” Hawkins added.
