Whidbey General Hospital says again, partnership not in future By NATHAN WHALEN South Whidbey Record With Whidbey General Hospital asking voters to approve a bond to pay for an expansion, one critic is arguing for hospital leaders to try something different. Mark Borden, one-time hospital emergency room physician turned staunch Whidbey General critic, thinks it would be a godsend if the hospital would partner with a larger company, such as Providence Health and Services.

approval of the larger number. “I think the council will opt for the lower-end numbers,” said Mayor Fred McCarthy. Water rates were changed in 2012 to a monthly base rate of $30 up to 3,750 gallons for residential units. Under the plan proposed by Public Works Director Maria Cablao, a single family residence would pay a fixed, bi-monthly rate of, at most, $88.90 or, at least, $86.38 for up to 8,000 gallons.

Langley budget calls for rate hikes, mayoral raise

Boy and Dog Park stair renovations are part of Langley’s proposed 2014 budget.
Water, sewer and stormwater rates may rise for Langley residents. Utility fees for Langley residents could spike as much as 6 percent next year, according to Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy’s 2014 budget proposal. McCarthy will present the draft plan to the city council Monday, Nov. 4, at City Hall. The included rate adjustment proposes a hike of 3 to 6 percent, and McCarthy is not expecting

“It would make the difference between a crummy hospital with a terrible reputation in our community and a good hospital,” said Borden, a Coupeville resident. He blasted the leadership of current CEO Tom Tomasino, accusing him of dismantling the medical staff. He said the changes outlined in the hospital’s proposal, which includes single patient rooms, are unnecessary. “Voting ‘No’ opens the door on hospital reform,” Borden said. Whidbey General leaders, on the other hand, said such partnerships would sacrifice local control and could lead to a loss of health services and jobs on Whidbey Island. Borden has an acrimonious relationship with Whidbey General Hospital, where he had worked in the emergency room for years. In 2011, his position with Northwest Emergency Physicians, the company

School board considers improvement plans By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record The future was the focus of a series of presentations during the South Whidbey School District Board meeting Wednesday, Oct. 23. Principals from South Whidbey’s elementary, middle and high schools, along with the director of South Whidbey Academy and Superintendent Jo Moccia, outlined their goals and how they plan on moving forward this upcoming year. “We’re in a good place,” Moccia said. “There’s a lot of positive things happening in each of the buildings.” The plans are aimed to focus the vision of the district to ensure the progress of each student. Each school planned to improve testing scores on reading, writing, math and science with the elementary school focusing primarily on reading. For the district, Moccia reiterated two main goals for all students to be career and college ready by 2020, and to completely implement a uniform evaluation system for staff members. High school Principal John Patton said this year’s goals mirror those of the 2012-13 school year. He would like to see improved test scores in reading, writing and math. According to Patton, this year’s sophomore class has slightly lower overall test scores than the previous sopho-
more class. But Patton also said several existing programs continue to improve, such as double blocking classes, where students can get extra help. He said programs to promote belonging, help teachers work with technology, and grouping students at different years together to work in small group study sessions are all existing programs he would like to see improve through the year. At the middle school, Principal Eric Nerison outlined goals which focused on “building the future through healthy heads, hearts and hands” for students. Nerison also highlighted goals of improved parent and student perception of the school and a decrease in bullying. “We want students to report that they enjoy school,” Nerison said, “and that’s a tough job.” Elementar y school Principal Jeff Cravy said his goals focus on aligning reading comprehension for each grade level. The school has put in place two programs

Hospital gives bond second go By NaThaN WhaLEN South Whidbey Record
$250,000 home on Whidbey Island around $81 a year. In addition to the 39 inpatient rooms, plans call for transforming the current patient wing into clinic space and installing a new parking lot that will replace the one lost through construction of the new wing. Rose said the final architectural plans don’t exist yet. Such documents are normally costly and are typically created after a bond is approved. The 31,000-square-foot wing would provide singlepatient rooms for medical/ surgical care, observation of patients, the birth center and intensive care unit, Rose said. The shelled-in space slated for
future use would be located underneath the patient room. A volunteer group, Friends of Whidbey General Hospital, formed last summer and has worked to promote the bond to residents. Volunteers have been plastering signs throughout Whidbey Island and hospital officials have visited community groups informing residents about the project’s details. Ballots were sent to voters last month. As of Monday afternoon, the Island County Auditor’s Office had received just over 9,000 ballots. Voters have until Tuesday, Nov. 5 to mail their ballots or drop them in one of three boxes located on Whidbey.

OAK HARBOR Teenage girl dies in car crash A 17-year-old Oak Harbor girl is dead, her twin sister was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and another young woman is in the hospital following an accident near Anacortes on Thursday, according to the Washington State Patrol.
Oak Harbor resident Ira Blackstock, 53, was arrested and booked into Skagit County Jail on suspicion of vehicular homicide and two counts of vehicular assault. The State Patrol reports that Blackstock was driving a 2006 Ford Mustang south on State Highway 20 and lost control at the curve at the intersection with Miller and Gibralter roads.

The driver of the Acura was seriously injured and transported to Harborview in critical condition, according to Trooper Norm Larsen. The driver’s sister, the back-seat passenger, was declared dead at the scene. The State Patrol had not released the names of the girls as of presstime Friday. Another passenger in the Acura, Alysha Pickler, 18, of Oak Harbor, was injured and transported to Island Hospital in Anacortes for treatment. Blackstock was injured and transported to Island Hospital. He was arrested after he was treated and released, Larsen said. Larsen said “possible impairment” may be a factor in the crash, but the
cause is under investigation.

The web design and management company based in Troy, Mich. will be responsible for creating the city’s site and content for a contract worth $13,400-$11,600 in one-time charges and a $1,800 annual hosting and maintenance fee. After five years, if the city wishes, Revize will redesign the site. In Arango’s memo to Mayor Fred McCarthy regarding the selection, he cited Revize’s history of creating municipal web-

Incumbents Simms, Helpenstell consider growth, pool By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Running unopposed, two South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District commissioners will return for fouryear terms. Mark Helpenstell and Matt Simms, both longtime South Whidbey residents have conservative growth on their minds for the parks district. Both are major supporters of building an aquatics center and examining running Holmes Harbor Golf Course.
Mark Helpenstell Filling in for an appointed term, Helpenstell has served the district for two years. The 56-year-old Boeing employee is a bit of an action junky. He coaches youth soccer, has officiated games
Mark Helpenstell and is president of the South Whidbey Youth Soccer Club. Overseeing the parks district is a form of service for Helpenstell. “It’s a necessary thing for the people in our community to give back,” he said. “My primary concern is creating as many opportunities for our youths as possible.” Funding and building an aquatics center is one of his
top priorities. He described himself as a major supporter of bringing a pool to South Whidbey, but tempered his enthusiasm with the understanding that the district is not sitting on a pile of cash with which to pay for the major project. “I would love to coach a swim team,” Helpenstell said. “The financial stresses are going to continue to produce … I’m not sure if they’re challenges or opportunities.” That said, he was supportive of making sure South Whidbey Parks had enough money to properly maintain its current properties and facilities before considering expansion. “I’d hate to take on a new expense at the deficit of existing facilities and programs,” Helpenstell said.
Rotary Westside to host tournament Rotary Westside’s inaugural Whidbey Island Monopoly Championship will kick off this month. The event is open to all ages and runs from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, at WiFire Coffee Bar in Freeland, 1651 E. Main St. Organizers are hailing the three-round Monopoly tournament as an afternoon of fun, matching wits and skill to win cash prize. With experience at the national level, Jackson Taylor is leading the charge to establish an exciting championship event here on Whidbey Island. He finished 16th in the National Tournament in 2009 and is the current Illinois State Champion. Tickets cost $40 and attendees should register in advance at www. rotarywestside.com
Lunch, snacks and beverages are provided for players.
Matt Simms Having served six years as a parks commissioner, Simms remembers the voter rejection of the aquatics center bond. He also remembers the support he heard from neighbors and friends. They wanted a pool then, and they want a pool now. “We have a chance to

he empathized with voters and taxpayers about asking for more money. Adding burden to the district’s staff, which is smaller than when he began as a commissioner, was another thing he wanted to avoid. “We’ve got to maintain that in a fiscally responsible way,” he said. “We’ve stretched people thinner and run the life of capital equipment.”

build out and reach more people with parks and parks programs,” Simms said. Pool plans are alive and well, although modified from the $15 million proposal back in 2008. He is one of the commissioners looking into redesigning the aquatics center and finding funding for a modified plan. A new proposal would likely be between $3 million and $4 million for a pool and rooms for other activities totaling about 20,000 square feet, but not a full-blown recreation center. Recently, he has worked on the district’s comprehensive plan, the guiding document for park business and expansion. He also worked with staff on the upcoming 2014 budget.

Our viewpoint
Complete your civic duty and vote Tuesday Well, after months and months of anticipation, Election Day is finally upon us. On Tuesday, all ballots must be either at the Island County Elections office in Coupeville, in one of several ballot boxes scattered across Whidbey Island, or in the mail and postmarked no later than Nov. 5. While many have had their minds made up since day one and long ago cast their votes, many more have avoided that envelope as if it was something found in a public bathroom. There it has sat for weeks on the mantle or that spot next to the door where one puts their mail. Well, it’s time to pick it up, blow off the dust and take a peek. To remove a bit of the mystery, here’s some of what you’ll find inside. South Whidbey voters will decide on several contested races this year, the first of which is for Position 5 of the South Whidbey School Board. Seeking to fill the seat, in alphabetical order, are Langley residents Betty Bond and Rocco Gianni. Both have extensive backgrounds in education and bring specific strengths to the table. The position carries a four-year term. Also up for grabs is Position 3 on the Port of South Whidbey’s Board of Commissioners. Vying for voters’ favor are Clinton residents Curt Gordon and Ed Jenkins. Gordon, the incumbent, is a contractor and Jenkins is a retired businessman. Port commissioners serve for six years. Last but not least, Position 3 of South Whidbey Parks and Recreation Board of Commissioners is being sought by two Freeland residents, Captn Blynd and Bob Hezel. Blynd is retired but busy in the community and Hezel is the owner of a construction company. Parks district seats carry four-year terms. Finally, Whidbey General Hospital is asking voters to approve a $50 million expansion project. The plan is to modernize the facility with the construction of a new wing with single-patient rooms. For details, see the story on Page A3. There are also a handful of uncontested races in Langley city government — that includes the mayor — South Whidbey Fire/EMS, parks and school districts, and a state initiative concerning the labeling of genetically modified foods. For some, voting is always a difficult task. Ballots seem to weigh 1,000 pounds, for one reason or another, but it’s a weight everyone should heft. Five minutes of misery far outweighs four years of frustration. Vote, it’s worth it.

Letters GMO
Why I’m a ‘yes’ on I-522 Editor, I don’t believe genetic modification is inherently evil — or good. I can’t tell which scientific claim is right or wrong; we are in a data-war world where advocates cite studies to support their side. I have my biases, of course. I use the precautionary principle for new technologies, which says, “If you aren’t sure it’s going to do harm, wait a while.” That’s common sense. Here’s why I think Whidbey-ites should vote “Yes” on 522. My first reason is selfdetermination. Our farmers should have the right to save
seeds and the ability to sell their crops both locally and on the world market. GMOfree gives them their best shot. Local food has trouble competing with industrial food from off island in part because we don’t use GMO seeds that let you safely spray with pesticides or ship perfect but boring tomatoes around the world. We here depend on one another. We know when the chips are down, we’ll survive because we are a strong community. And we want to have a say over what foods we eat. While Yes on 522 doesn’t free us from near total dependency on industrial food, it does send a message to the dozens of corporations who have poured $7 million into the “No on 522” campaign that we like the freedom to choose.
My second reason is transparency. The European Union, Japan, Australia, China, India, South Africa, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Chile and dozens of other countries require GMO labeling. Yes on 522 is simply asking us to join the growing number of countries that require transparency. And more and more countries won’t import our GMO crops. Finally, let’s get real. Labeling foods that have been genetically altered won’t kill corporate profits. Most people like their brands and will buy them with all sorts of chemicals on the ingredient list. Dire warning labels on cigarettes haven’t kept dedicated smokers from lighting up. The right to choose means we know better what we are getting into. We can choose

those hardy individuals who paint the lines on our highways and keep them in such good repair. It seems like such a thankless job and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate you and your hard work. As well my hat’s off to the ferry men and women who keep us connected to the mainland. Sure who likes ferry waits and traffic delays? But I get to drive at night in safety thanks to those freshly painted lines and journey to the mainland in relative ease thanks to these unsung heroes. Bravo and happy Holidays — in advance — to all of you. Sincerely, BRENDA EDWARDS Greenbank

Helpful man checked on us Editor, I would like to thank all the drivers behind me on Friday, Oct. 25, on Highway 525 and Mutiny Bay Road, who passed me as I hit a deer and didn’t stop to see if we were OK.

By REP. DAVE HAYES
A few weeks ago, a Tacoma newspaper reported that the Washington State Patrol and some other law enforcement agencies will not issue tickets for moving violations to Washington legislators during a legislative session. The State Patrol cites a provision in Washington’s constitution, enacted in 1889, which reads: “Members of the Legislature shall be privileged from arrest in all cases except treason, felony and breach of the peace; they shall not be subject to any civil process during the session of the Legislature, nor for 15 days next before the commencement of each session.” The law was written back when legislators traveled for days across the state to reach the Capitol, sometimes on horseback, and it was intended to prevent them from being obstructed from their participation in the Legislature. Times have changed quite a bit in 124 years. While this exemption may have been valid a century ago, today it projects an image of elitism about our state Legislature — even though I’m convinced no one in the Legislature would take advantage of it today. In fact, some legislators stopped for speeding have asked the officer to write them a ticket, only to be rejected. As a state legislator and
Rep. Dave Hayes a patrol sergeant with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department, I believe no one should be above the law, especially those who write the laws. That is why I am proposing legislation. During the pre-filing period in December, I plan to introduce a bill that would eliminate traffic ticket exemptions for state legislators. The measure I have drafted would clarify that the issuance of a traffic citation to a legislator is not a “civil process” under the state constitution. This is important because the interpretation of “civil process” is confusing and is why the State Patrol won’t write tickets to legislators, while other law enforcement agencies, such as the Olympia Police Department, do. The bill I am proposing would clarify that state legislators who violate traffic laws may receive a ticket, regard-

Volleyball splits district matches By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Playing in the doubleelimination District 1 tournament, South Whidbey volleyball is on the brink of elimination. South Whidbey split its first two matches, sweeping Friday Harbor before being swept by top-seeded Lynden Christian on Wednesday. “We were playing as a team, we were all in sync,” said Falcon senior Meagan Longdon. The Lyncs (14-2 overall) have played in the state volleyball tournament the past 16 years, and are assured a spot in the state-qualifying tri-district tournament. Facing the district’s top team, South Whidbey put up a fight in the first and third sets. The Lyncs seized an early 10-3 lead on eight straight points. But the Falcons fought back to 20-20 until the Lyncs rattled off five unanswered points. Lynden Christian quickly took the second set 25-13. South Whidbey again forced a late tie in the third set at 20-20, but the Lyncs pulled ahead to claim the match. The Falcons were led by juniors Abby Hodson and Anne Madsen with seven kills each, senior Mackenzie Hezel with 13 digs and six kills, senior Chantel Brown with 12 digs and Longdon

Girls soccer offense overpowers Borderites Something changed for South Whidbey girls soccer when it reached the playoffs Wednesday. The Falcons rolled to a 4-0 off-island win over the Blaine Borderites. It was the most goals scored in a single game by South Whidbey this season and the first postseason win in several years. “This is a big milestone in the girls soccer program,” said Falcon senior Maia Sparkman. South Whidbey cruised with an early lead and rode the hot feet of Sparkman, who recorded her second hat trick of the year with three goals in the 1A District 1 playoff match. Two of Sparkman’s goals came on assists by sophomore Kendra Warwick. Falcon junior Isla Dubendorf scored South Whidbey’s fourth goal. Making timely tackles and trapping the Borderites was South Whidbey’s defense. Senior Katie Sibley, sophomore Annie Lux, sophomore Anni Field and goalie Cassie Neil combined for the shutout victory, only the fourth of the season for South Whidbey. South Whidbey traveled north to face Meridian, the topseeded team in District 1, on Friday afternoon, after The Record went to press. The Falcons can secure a spot in the tridistrict tournament with a victory over the Meridian Trojans, or with two wins should South Whidbey lose Friday.

Falcon senior Haley Viers tries a tip kill past Granite Falls senior Miranda Prausa during South Whidbey’s final Cascade Conference game of the year. South Whidbey won 3-0 on Senior Night, the final time the Falcon seniors will play at home. with 22 assists. “I was reading their blockers really well and switching up the plays so they couldn’t track Anne,” Longdon said. In the first-round match, South Whidbey bumped Friday Harbor to the consolation round in a 25-17, 25-14, 25-14 win. Cruising in the first match boosted South Whidbey’s confidence heading into the contest with the top-seeded Lyncs. South Whidbey faces
Mount Baker in a loser-out match at 4 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2, at Lynden Christian High School. Earlier in the season, the Mountaineers (5-11 overall) lost 3-2 to Friday Harbor and were swept by Lynden Christian. The winner of the match will advance to a third/fourthplace match later Saturday in which both teams qualify for the tri-district tournament. “We are all very excited,” Longdon said. “It could be
our last game as seniors, it could be our next step to state.” She added that the Falcons practiced hitting around tall blockers, something for which Mount Baker’s team is known. Scoring against blockers has been an issue at times for South Whidbey, though it appeared to improve at the end of the season, especially in a 3-0 win over Granite Falls on Tuesday.

Falcons bounced from tennis playoffs South Whidbey sent three players to the 1A tri-district boys tennis tournament, and all three were sent home without qualifying for the state tournament Tuesday. Only junior Charley Stelling advanced in the winner’s bracket. In the first round, Stelling defeated Cascade Christian’s N. Pierce 6-2, 6-0. After a quick win, Stelling faced a tougher match against Charles Wright Academy’s Griffin Welsch, who won the first set 6-2 and was poised for a quick win. Stelling varied his shots from baseline groundstrokes, dropping alternate topspin lobs, slices and drop shots to win the second set 6-4. Welsch, who advanced as the second-place singles player, outdueled Stelling in the third set, narrowly winning 6-4. South Whidbey’s doubles team, senior Jack Hood and junior Jonathon Peterson, lost in straight sets in both matches. University Prep’s combo of Bayard Blair and Sam Thomsen cruised in a 6-2, 6-2 win over Hood and Peterson. Blair and Thomsen went on to win the top seed from the tournament. In the consolation round, South Whidbey fell after a tough bout against Vashon Island’s Steen Jennings and Josh Tillman. South Whidbey boys tennis ended without qualifying for the 1A state tournament for the third year in a row.
A life built on ships, yet solidly on the ground Twenty-seven years is a long time to volunteer for one organization, but for Jim Towers, captain of stations 34 and 35 of South Whidbey Fire/EMS, it’s in contrast to a life spent living and working around the world. Towers was born in the UK and lived in Canada and Australia. As a merchant seaman and shipbuilder, he traveled the globe—the Americas, Asia and Europe—and even worked in the Arctic for a while. But in 1986, when he settled down on Whidbey Island, he decided to try his hand at firefighting after hearing the organization was looking for volunteers. “I really like helping people through what can be a very bad day for them, whether it’s a fire, accident or medical emergency. It feels great to be there for them.” Towers commutes to Seattle, where he works full time as chief engineer for a shipbuilding company. For more visit:

Saratoga Orchestra launches conductor search By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Swoon to the sounds made by a few of South Whidbey’s finest musicians. The Saratoga Orchestra of Whidbey Island is kicking off its season with “Nature’s Dream” this weekend. The season, which begins Sunday, Nov. 3, will feature a new element to each performance — the competition for the new artistic director and conductor. The first three performances of the orchestra will be conducted by the final three candidates for the position. The number was whittled down from 15 applicants to three last year — Julia Tai, Chao Li and Anna Edwards. The chosen candidate will begin during the 2014-15 season. Audience members will be able to weigh in on the decision by filling out a questionnaire during each perfor-
mance, an aspect Executive Director Larry Heidel is excited to include. “We will be presenting fresh faces at the orchestra,” he said. “I’m hoping people will come out to see that.” The conductor search follows the announced retirement of founding artistic director and conductor, Legh W. Burns. In the first production of the season, Tai chose pieces of music reminiscent of nature in “Nature’s Dream.” “When I program an orchestra, I always think about themes; pieces of music have similar picture imagery,” Tai said. “I wanted a theme of nature because Whidbey has beautiful surroundings.” The program features Mendelssohn’s overture to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Mozart’s Piano Concerto #21, K. 467 and Symphony #6 Op. 68 “Pastorale” by Ludwig van Beethoven. Brought to you by:
Tai is currently the music director of Philharmonia Northwest and founder and co-artistic director of the Seattle Modern Orchestra. She said she was excited about working with the orchestra. “It’s always fun to connect with an orchestra I don’t know very well, personally and musically,” she said. Robert Swan, a concert pianist, will be featured as the soloist during the performance. Swan has performed throughout the United States, England, Taiwan and Korea with major orchestras. Tai said she also looks forward to getting to know people on the island. She hopes her performance helps to enrich people’s experiences with nature. “I want to get their imagination going and see where the pieces of music brings them and how they connect,” she said. The next two performances of the season will feature
Li on Jan. 26 and Edwards on March 9. Heidel finds each candidate is strong in their own way, but all are a “new strain of the modern conductor.” He is looking forward to engaging with the audience base and community with the conductor decision. Each candidate will host a meet-and-greet event with community members on their upcoming performances. During the busy conductor search, the orchestra will also put a hold on its usual Christmas program and Young Artists Concerto

One memorable Halloween, the last with Dad
Margaret Walton
The scariest, yet funniest, Halloween of my long life happened just three years ago, and every year when Halloween rolls around my memory banks fill my head with that day and evening. We’d made a difficult decision to move my dad, just short of his 101st birthday, into a care facility where we knew he’d be better cared for than we could any longer manage. In the turmoil of making all the arrangements, meeting with doctors, nurses and caretakers, moving some things into his room, etc., I’d simply not noticed that the day we’d arranged to have him moved happened to be Oct. 31, Halloween. The van from the nursing facility arrived to pick him up, and imagine my surprise
The scheduled visiting school kids, all dressed in various costumes, arrived and began moving around the room from person to person, smiling and saying “trick-or-treat” and getting a piece of candy from each, except from my Dad, who continued to slowly suck on and enjoy each carefully unwrapped piece. The little kids would walk up, looking at Dad expectantly, and he’d smile and say, “Hello, and who are you supposed to be?” They’d quickly move on. After some sing-along entertainment and one or two other short skits about Halloween, it was finally time to take Dad to his new room, the room in which he would spend only another couple of months before quietly leaving us. He was escorted to that room by a male attendant, dressed in costume, who would stay with him for a time to be sure he got settled, knew where things were and how to find his way around. It was time for me to be on my way. I kissed him and told him I’d return soon. When I left the room, Dad was sitting in a large reclining chair, his big hand being held in the two hands of The Devil, who was talking softly
to him, smiling and nodding his horned head. I could only wonder what was going on in Dad’s head on that, his last, Halloween.
RECIPES Halloween is, for most kids, all about the treats, and if you’re inclined to make some of your handouts for the little doorbell ringers, you might consider these delicious treats. But you may be reading this after Halloween, so let me assure you, these are welcome any time, whether you’re a kid or an adult.
PEANUT BUTTER FINGERS 1 cup butter, softened 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar 1 cup sugar 2 ½ cups creamy peanut butter, divided (see instructions; don’t use reduced fat p.b.) 1 egg 1 ½ t. vanilla extract 2 ½ cups quick-cooking oats 2 cups flour 1 t baking soda ½ t. salt
For frosting: 6 T. butter, softened 4 cups confectioners sugar ½ cup powdered cocoa 1 t. vanilla 6-8 T. milk
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until smooth. Add 1 cup peanut butter, the egg and vanilla. Mix well. Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture. Spread into a greased 15x10 baking sheet or pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 13 to 17 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool slightly on a wire rack, then spread with remaining peanut butter and allow to cool completely. To make the frosting: In a bowl, combine butter, confectioners sugar, cocoa and vanilla; add enough milk to bring the mixture to spreading consistency. Spoon over the peanut butter layer of the bars and spread evenly. Cut into bars after the frosting sets a bit. Makes about three dozen bars. The perfect combination of salty and sweet; these won’t last long whether it’s Halloween or just a treat for the family any day or night.
PEANUTMALLOW BARS
1 cup chopped salted peanuts ¾ cup flour ¾ cup quick-cooking oats 2/3 cup packed brown sugar ½ t. salt ½ t. baking soda 1 egg, lightly beaten 1/3 cup cold butter Topping: 1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow creme 2/3 cup caramel topping 1 ¾ cup salted peanuts In a bowl, combine the peanuts, flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and baking soda. Stir in the egg. Cut the butter into the mixture until crumbly. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 pan and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for eight to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Spoon marshmallow creme over the hot crust, then carefully spread evenly. Drizzle with the caramel topping and sprinkle with peanuts. Pop them back in the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack and then cut into bars. Makes three dozen.

when it was being driven by a stunningly dressed Cleopatra, and when her assistant got out to help my father into the van, it was a tutu-clad Blue Fairy smiling at my dad, the golden halo attached to her head bobbing as she nodded and spoke softly about where they were going. To say he looked confused would be a major understatement. Yes, everyone from the facility was dressed in costume and Dad was about to attend their big Halloween party. We entered their large community hall and were greeted by a nurse wearing a chicken costume with a large red rooster comb on her head. She got my dad comfortably seated where he could see and hear the planned entertainment, and gently placed a large plastic Jack-o-Lantern filled with wrapped candies in his lap. It was for him to pass out when visiting school kids came around to trick-or-treat. He smiled at her, looked into the pumpkin and proceeded to slowly pull out the candies, one by one, unwrap them and pop them into his mouth, grinning at me. I tried to explain, but I could tell he thought it was a very nice welcoming treat for him.

Adam Conley Following his calling
Adam began the life of a first responder as a firefighter in a rural fire department in Dixon, Missouri. His dad, who retired from the U.S. Navy, was living in Washington State. Adam, wanting to be closer to family, eventually moved to Langley. While working as a truck driver, he started training as a volunteer firefighter and then an EMT for South Whidbey Fire/EMS. But it’s in his blood to help community members—he also works as an EMT for Rural Metro Ambulance. “South Whidbey Fire/EMS can help people get the training they need or to update skills. We will help you become the best at handling any situation. He and his wife Melissa Conley serve together. “This may sound like a cliché, but when you love your job like we do, you really don’t feel like you work a day in your life. Being a volunteer first responder on Whidbey Island is where we belong. This is our calling.” Adam also loves trout fishing, but hasn’t yet caught one at his favorite lake—much to his frustration.

Whidbey General Hospital contracts with for emergency room doctors, ended. Since then he has been working at Swedish Medical Center. He is also running what he describes as a patient advocacy website. Whidbey General Hospital is asking voters to approve a $50 million bond that will fund construction of a new wing located on the south end of its Coupeville campus. That wing will include 39 singlepatient rooms and space for future growth. The proposal needs to pass by a 60 percent supermajority

for approval and ballots need to be postmarked by Tuesday in order to be counted. The idea of having another entity run the hospital isn’t new. Capella Healthcare in 2011 wanted to take over operations, but following a lengthy public meeting where a majority of residents criticized the plan, the five-member, publicly elected board of commissioners rejected the for-profit company’s proposal. “Our preference would be to stay independent,” said Anne Tarrant, president of the Whidbey General Hospital board of commissioners. She said the board is concerned the hospital could lose services off island and jobs if Whidbey General partners with another company. “When someone affiliates, they are going to look at economies of scale,” Tarrant said. She added that the hospital also runs primary care facilities and rural health clinics and the future of those could be called into question if the hospital partners. Other hospitals in the region have affiliated or

The current bond is identical to the proposal hospital leaders took to voters two years ago. Back then, 55.49 percent of the voters approved the bond election, which was short of the 60 percent supermajority required for approval. Since then, Rose said in an email that “citizens, doctors, nurses and administrators have spoken to neighbors about the benefits of the bond and how it will improve quality of care on our island.”

Commercial properties are slated to pay between $57.80 and $58.90 every two months, plus a 49-cent or 47-cent charge per 100 gallons. Langley’s sewer fund is pegged to bring in nearly $373,000 in revenue, mostly from service rates. Expenses to operate the city’s treatment plant and sewer lines, however, is estimated to exceed its revenue by almost

$54,000. One of the issues stemming from Langley’s stable population, about 1,000 people for the past decade, is that neither sewage nor water use has increased. That has led to the city flushing the system more than originally anticipated and a less-than-optimal utilization of the treatment/compost facility on Coles Road. “We’ve seen a significant drop-off in the amount of septage being brought here,” McCarthy said. “It was a good sustainable idea, but right now that fund needs some

many families walked over to Island Church’s 22nd annual Harvest Carnival in Langley. The carnival featured more than 40 games ranging from the silly to skillful.
Children played darts, tested their strength at the “Ring the Bell” game and practiced their memory skills with a game of cup stacking. “Everyone wins here,” said event organizer Yvonne Klopfenstein. “It’s fun family time.” The carnival provides a safe place for families to come together and be together on Halloween, she said. “It’s fun to see families play together and do activities,” Klopfenstein said. Senior Pastor Dwight Ford said the event provides good outreach for the church and is also an alternative to trickor-treating. “This is another way to get people into the church,” he said. Ford said he wants to show
help.” Among the line-item increases in the city’s budget is the mayor’s salary, $31,200 plus benefits. That figure is a reduction of the mayor’s salary, a remnant from former mayor Larry Kwarsick’s administration who argued for a salary cut and cutting the position to part time. McCarthy is looking to reverse direction, keeping the job full time and increasing the mayor’s salary by 41 percent to $53,000 and $7,904 in benefits. In all, administration expenses are scheduled to jump from $34,800 in 2013 to $78,728 next year — that includes the changes to the mayor’s salary. The proposal appears to have support from at least one city council member. “I’m a strong supporter of a full-time mayor,” Councilman Jim Sundberg said. “I don’t think $53,000 plus benefits for a full-time mayor is unreasonable, especially if you divide it by the amount of time spent working.” City operations in Langley are likely to be much the same if the draft 2014 budget is any indicator. Langley’s total budget is estimated to be $11,481,362, about $100,000 more from the $11.3 million 2013 budget. Documents for the city’s General Fund show a nearly $20,000 dip in revenue and a similar drop in expenses for the coming year. That may be based on “conservative” estimates, totaling nearly $1,715,935, according to Sundberg. “We’ll know a little bit closer to the end of the year if that expectation is accurate,” he said. “I think we’ll probably not have a rev-
people who don’t attend that the church can be a place to have fun. The event included 140 volunteers to help with security and managing games. Klopfenstein estimated about 700 to 800 people attended this year. She said it’s hard to give an exact number because of the many entrances into the carnival. Sally Berry, a food kitchen volunteer at the event, said she was having a fantastic time this year. She served hot dogs, chips and soda at the event. Profits from the meals benefit the church’s youth group. “It’s so cute to watch the kids in costumes,” she said. “Everyone is just so cute, it’s hard to choose a favorite.”
enue problem going into the new year.” Sundberg noted, however, that Langley may use a 1 percent increase for inflation. A major hope for the budget is from intergovernmental revenue such as grants, which will help fund the city’s overhaul of Second Street. Langley’s police budget will be relatively similar, with a $5,000 increase. That could change, however, as acting Chief David Marks reviews the department’s police staffing needs. The Langley Police Department has enough money budgeted for three fulltime officers and a chief, but it could be cut to two officers and a chief next year, depending on Marks’ evaluation. What officers stay with the department are expected to receive a 2.8 percent pay increase along with the rest of Langley’s employees. McCarthy said he revised Langley’s evaluation process for raises, which will likely qualify most of City Hall’s staff for a 1.8 percent wage bump, in addition to a 1 percent cost of living adjustment. “My expectation is that the majority of employees would get the merit increase,” he said. Intergovernmental revenue will likely be around its large estimate of $189,000 because the Langley City Council agreed to seek $175,000 in non-voter approved bonds earlier this year to help fund street and utilities work on Second Street. McCarthy said it is his hope to save enough money from those bonds to make either repairs or renovations to the stairs at connecting Seawall Park and Boy and Dog Park.
