Man proposes marriage during sentencing; judge not amused
Freeland shellfish district’s days may be numbered
By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record
Signs like this one at Freeland Park on South Whidbey may soon be a thing of the past.
Langley will retain a fulltime mayor and the job will continue to pay $53,000. The decision was galvanized Monday when the city council approved the 2014 budget in a 4-0 vote. Councilman Bruce Allen was not present. Fleshed out with the public in several recent meetings, the $11.8 million budget saw few, if any, criticisms. Perhaps the only concern mentioned related to the mayor’s pay, but the issue got little traction with decision makers. Indeed, the topic was not even broached until after the vote was cast and the budget approved. It was then that Councilwoman Rene Neff addressed the issue, and only then to make clear her support of the current fulltime model and Mayor Fred McCarthy. She said she, past councils and a vote of the people have all endorsed the existing model, and that she continues to believe it’s the best path for Langley. “This could be a part-time job but it’s much better as a full-time job,” Neff said. Previous administrations have operated under a mayor/administrator format. The model was switched to just a full-time mayor under Paul Samuelson’s term, cutting the administrator’s position and raising the mayor’s salary from about $31,000 to the current $53,000. The amount is set by city ordinance. Believing the job should be part-time, the model

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record An Oak Harbor man attempted to prove during a sentencing hearing on a meth conviction Monday that he was not too late for love, whatever Def Leppard might have to say on the subject. Jacob Jungwirth, 27, proposed to his girlfriend just before being sent away to prison for 18 months. “Crystal,” who was in the audience, immediately agreed. The stunt didn’t sit well with Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill, and Jungwirth nearly earned himself more time in the slammer. “I was not pleased that the defendant wanted to make a mockery of the criminal hearing and that he directly defied an order from the judge,” she said in a statement to the Whidbey News-Times. “I seriously considered taking the plea offer off the table. In the end, I did not, but there is a certain decorum that I expect in the courtroom.” Deputy Prosecutor David Carman handled the case against Jungwirth and was in court during the unusual moment. He explained that Jungwirth pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of methamphetamine. Under the plea bargain, the prosecution and defense recommended a sentence of 18 months in prison. The sentence was longer SEE PROPOSAL, A24

Audrey Doyle, a Freeland resident, walks her dog, Maxwell, at Freeland Park on Tuesday. State health regulators are considering partially lifting a ban on shellfish harvesting in Holmes Harbor that’s been in place since 2006.
State looks to lift ban in 2014, possibly in April By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record For the second time in less than two years, state water quality experts say the ban on shellfish harvesting in Holmes Harbor may be lifted within a few months. According to Jule Schultz, a public health advisor with the state Department of Health’s Office of Shellfish and Water Protection, the results of a recently-completed study will pave the way for reopening of the area, at least partially. “From this study we’re confident there will be harvesting opportunities a portion of the year,” Schultz said. “What portion that will be is still undecided.” The Holmes Harbor Shellfish Protection District was established by the Island County commissioners in 2006 following the discovery of elevated levels of fecal coliform
bacteria in water samples. County health and planning officials spent years working on the problem, and in 2012 Schultz said the ban on shellfish harvesting might be lifted within a few months depending on an examination of testing results. More than one year later, however, the ban remains in place and it’s vexing county officials. “I’m frustrated that we’ve spent as much public dollars as we have on Holmes Harbor, and we still have a district and a beach closed to shellfish harvesting because we’ve been successful,” said Keith Higman, director of Island County Public Health. According to Schultz, the source of the hold-up was conflicting data. Fresh water outlets were found free of the offending bacteria, but nearshore results continued to show showed high levels of fecal coliform bacteria as of last year.

quality for their class. The assignment required the students to observe pH levels, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nitrates and temperature. Students learned about plankton in class before going to the harbor and will document the health of plankton in the upcoming months, said Sandy Gilbert, a science teacher at the middle school. These are all lessons
children need to hear, Gilbert said. Sixth-grade student Aiden Coleman said the trip was a valuable experience, if only for his palette. “I’ve learned a lot about the sea today,” he said. “And I’ve never been a big fan of seafood.” Six people from Whidbey Watershed Stewards also volunteered to instruct the students on water quality.

Stop Dreaming! Is this the year you’ll
buy a home or are you just dreaming? Although most home purchases begin as a dream, they actually occur as the result of a commitment – in fact, two commitments. The dream phase is vital because it transforms the fantasies of the mind into a picture of reality. It allows a home to take shape in the imagination without cost, boundaries, or limitations. From the dream phase evolves the future home. The commitment stage has two parts. First, a home purchase requires an emotional commitment. Those responsible must be confident that it is the right time to buy. They must have substantial reasons to begin the process, and they must be prepared to take the actions required to bring their dream to fruition. The second commitment is financial. Buying a home requires cash for a downpayment, creditworthiness to secure a mortgage, and the earning power to liquidate the debt. The confidence to make this commitment can be gained by visiting a mortgage lender. By analyzing your financial picture in advance, the lender can offer a loan commitment at a specific interest rate, giving you the buying power needed to make your purchase. Make your dream a reality this year. Take the three steps: dream, commit, and commit. Before you know it, you’ll be moving to a new reality. Really!

The class hypothesized on the relationship between sunshine and aquatic plant growth in the harbor. The students used homemade nets from nylons to catch plankton, which got a little messy at times. “It’s science, sometimes we get a little wet,” said Rick Baker, executive director of Whidbey Watershed Stewards, who volunteered for the day. The class will come back to the harbor in a few months for more data and to see if their hypothesis was correct.

Sea Mar takes over controversial Recovery Services program By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Mark MacNaughton saw the highs and the lows of Island County’s addiction recovery efforts. MacNaughton, formerly the county’s program manager, sat next to Island County Human Services Director Jackie Henderson as county leadership outlined Recovery Service’s mistakes and missteps, and ordered the pair to relinquish management to a private organization. “It was grueling,” MacNaughton said. The contract for Recovery Services was taken over by Sea Mar last week after errors and non-compliant practices became a public discussion earlier this year. Island County Superior Court judges Alan Hancock and Vickie Churchill, Prosecutor Greg Banks and Court Administrator Brooke Powell each said that the problems with Recovery Services were pervasive and that their confidence in the countyrun program was “broken.” A moratorium was placed on the acceptance of any new Drug Court clients until “a reliable and effective treatment provider” was found. Banks said the moratorium was lifted Oct. 11 once the contract was awarded to Sea Mar. “I’m hopeful and optimistic that the treatment will meet the needs of the county,” Banks said. Among errors discovered at Island County Recovery Services, state regulators discovered that MacNaughton allowed his counseling credential to expire for a few weeks, and a public records request revealed Recovery Services was under the close eye of

Commissioners of South Whidbey Fire/ EMS tabled discussion of selling a red 1953 Ford truck, a relic of the district founded in 1950. Chief Rusty Palmer proposed putting the truck on the district’s surplus vehicle list and trying to sell it. The commissioners instead asked for other options, such as a possible restoration and relocation. Having it as a parade vehicle and a centerpiece at one of the district’s stations were ideas floated by the commissioners. “It makes sense. It was the organization’s first vehicle; it has some emotional attachment,” Palmer said.

Schultz said he was sorry for the delay but that he feels it was necessary. “I just wanted to cover my bases,” he said. It’s unclear at this time what a partial reopening would look like, but it’s unlikely it would include select summer months — June, July and August — as that’s when the highest levels of fecal coliform were found. “I would call it a partial summertime closure,” Schultz said. “I’d say that’s what we’re considering.” Also unclear is what

effect it would have on the protection district. It can only be dissolved by vote of the commissioners, and Schultz said he didn’t know whether a partial lifting would warrant such an action. Schultz said he believed the county did a good job cleaning up Holmes Harbor and that the state “appreciates their efforts to control pollution in the area.” As for Higman, he’s anxiously waiting the day when the state gives the all clear because he’s eager to communicate the success story to the public. “I’d love to tell that story,” he said. “But, it’s hard to tell that story with a sign on the beach that says, ‘Closed to shellfish harvesting.’ ”

Editorial
State lawmakers must follow up words with deeds With the announcement last week that Boeing will move up to 1,200 jobs out of Washington, state political leaders, including Clinton’s state Rep. Norma Smith, are saying enough’s enough. They say Boeing’s announcement is part of a much bigger problem for Washington’s economic climate as a whole. They’re calling for action. “It is absolutely essential that we recognize the serious nature, and wider implications, of Boeing’s decision — this goes across all sectors of our economy,” Smith said. “It is incumbent on us as state policymakers to send a strong message that we are aware of Washington’s competitive disadvantages and will enact policies to improve our business climate. And likewise, that we will protect our state’s competitive advantages.” “We need to fight for every job.” Examples of disadvantages include Gov. Jay Inslee’s current consideration of imposing a carbon tax, which would increase the cost of gas $1 per gallon. While Boeing’s announcement is part of a larger, state-wide issue, it will have direct ramifications for residents in Island County, with one of the plane manufacturer’s plants being just a ferry ride away in Everett. Boeing employees live on the island. They contribute to our local economy. Move their jobs away and that directly impacts our local economy. It’s a good thing we have Whidbey Island residents representing us at a state level. Now that the words have been spoken, we need action. We need these representatives to identify the problems, seek the solutions and start acting. We can’t afford to lose any more jobs on Whidbey Island.

Letters Beach access
Quiet lessons work best for visitors Editor, There is a rather peculiar sign on the beach just as you head south from the parking area at the west end of Hastie Lake road. It mentions all the sins you are not to commit on the community’s beaches, like lots of other signs on the Island explaining that it is our beach, not yours. Then it says, “trespassers welcome.” It makes me want to go to each residence and thank the owner. Perhaps this letter will accomplish that. Of course there are the many other signs telling us that we are treading on private property, risking prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. Our beaches are a delightful resource, but with the variety of ownership schemes most of the beaches are not really “ours,” as they are in Oregon. Fortunately those of us who visit the beaches and treat them with respect are usually tolerated and often welcomed. An interesting example is the Rocky Point area, on the naval reservation, with miles to walk and just a few minor restrictions. On our beaches, the visible evidence of events of the deep past is waiting to be seen and imagined. There are even things that happened before the glaciers shaped the island and Puget Sound — it was not dug out by Paul Bunyan and Babe the big blue ox. Given that the beaches are so important to both onand off-islanders, it seems to me that The Record could find value in putting forward
stories about the beaches, the people who find peace there and the people whose homes are there. There are stories in the peculiar sights to be seen across the water, in the cliffs and atop the bluffs. At the same time some quiet lessons in the care of the beaches would be calming to residents who are nervous at the idea of strangers wandering past their homes. FRANK DOST Freeland
Health care
Lobby for Medicare growth Editor, Friends of mine are spending hours trying to sort out which health care insurance plan to choose, and which one they can afford. Folks are frustrated and angry at the complexity and cost of health care. Some have given up trying to unravel an impossible system and are in the ranks of the 47 million uninsured in this country. Some of this frustration and anger is directed at

The Affordable Care Act — “Obama Care” — as being too complex, too expensive and unworkable. These are all justifiable accusations. Unfortunately, any health care “reform” legislation superimposed on the hodgepodge system in place in the U.S. today will not result in a more efficient, effective health care delivery system. The likely result will be greater confusion, inefficiency, complexity and expense. The plus is that with Obama Care, more uninsured folks will be covered. Decades ago, during the time of anti-communist paranoia in this country, the American Medical Association seized the opportunity to terrorize the U.S. population on the dangers of “socialized” medicine and the benefits of private medical care. Since then, all attempts to create a universal, non-profit health care system have been doomed to failure because they have been driven by profit motive and private enterprise, as well as a continuing fear of government involvement in health care resulting from years of brainwashing.
As a country, we have abdicated our moral responsibility to provide health care for everyone. If your house is on fire, the 911 telephone operator doesn’t ask you whether you have homeowner’s insurance. Our fire departments are non-profit, operated by governments and committed to serving everyone. It’s the same with police departments. Some things are best left in the public, non-profit arena. Health care is one of those. Per capita, the U.S. spends more on health care than any other country in the developed world. However, World Health Organization statistics consistently indicate that our overall health and well-being compare unfavorably to other countries, even much poorer countries. With our current system, we have little control over cost, efficiency or quality. We might be better served to actively lobby for the expansion of Medicare to the entire population, rather than to criticize the current attempt to cover more uninsured people in this country.

Falcons make quick turnaround By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record South Whidbey claimed its first victory of the season, on the heels of blowout losses, in a 41-13 win against Overlake on Saturday. The Falcon girls basketball team rebounded quickly from losses last week to King’s and Cedarcrest, during which the offense and defense struggled. Getting the first win of the season provided some relief for the Falcons’ lone senior. “It felt great,” said Falcon senior Madi Boyd in a text message. Boyd missed practice due to an illness Monday. Against Overlake, South Whidbey’s defense controlled the game. None of the Owl players scored more than four points as the Falcons’ zone defense forced Overlake to take shots away from the basket. While South Whidbey’s defense held, the Falcons scored in droves. Early in the game, both teams struggled. Through the first quarter, the Falcons narrowly led 7-4. But they exploded in the second quarter, pouring in 14 points while holding the Owls to only two. Out of halftime, South Whidbey picked up where it left off. The Falcons scored 13 points in the third quarter and kept the Owls to four. “On offense, attacking the key worked the best because they had a weak-man defense,”Boyd said. Overlake stalled to only three points in the final period, while South Whidbey added another seven for the runaway victory. Getting the first win of the year came at the right time. South Whidbey faced Coupeville, its island and Cascade

Falcon sophomore Morgan Davis pressures Cedarcrest’s Susan Kenney with help from Kacie Hanson, left, and Abby Hodson in the first half of the Cascade Conference game Friday, Dec. 13 at South Whidbey High School. Conference rival school, on Tuesday after The Record went to press. The game affected both teams’ positions for the District 1 playoffs. Only two of the conference’s three 1A teams — the other is King’s — qualify for the postseason. For how well the Falcons played Saturday, they struggled mightily the night before against the Cedarcrest Red Wolves. Cedarcrest tore apart South Whidbey’s defense with outside shots and cuts to the basket, winning 80-37. Previously, South Whidbey had held teams to under 55 points. From the start, the Red Wolves looked to shoot early in their possessions and get the ball up quickly. The pace caught the Falcons on their heels as the Red Wolves surged to a 38-18 lead by halftime.
a win. The Falcons lost to Cedarcrest 80-42 on Friday and 60-50 to Overlake on Saturday. South Whidbey’s offense stalled early in the game, scoring only four points in the first
“It kind of caught us by surprise, especially right at the beginning,” said Falcon freshman Megan Drake. “We coped well but got tired and thought, ‘Oh well, the game’s over.’ ” Cedarcrest stuck with its uptempo offense and harassing the defense in the second half. The Red Wolves nipped at the Falcons wherever the ball went, creating turnovers and easy layups. Three Red Wolves led the way, including Susan Kenney’s game-high 22 points, Kalee Folwer’s 20 and Megan Ditore’s 18. Only Drake scored in double figures for the Falcons with 11 points. Freshman Kacie Hanson chipped in six, as did junior Abby Hodson. Senior captain Madi Boyd scored five points. Sophomore Morgan Davis and freshman Emily Turpin each scored two points, and junior Kristen Schuster scored one.

Six South Whidbey wrestlers made the championship match in their weight divisions at the Iron Sharpens Iron Tournament on Saturday, allowing the Falcons to run home with the team title. In addition to two firstplace finishes by seniors Andy Madsen and Calvin Shimada, nine other Falcons finished in the top three. “The kids were wrestling really well, racking up a lot of points from falls,” said Falcon head coach Jim Thompson. “These guys are going out there a little chippy.” South Whidbey, a school with about 420 students, has had a difficult time for years filling the lower weights. At the tournament at Bellevue Christian High School, the Falcons didn’t field a wrestler in the 106 and 126pound weight divisions. Nonetheless, the Falcons won the tournament handily with 223 total points. Darrington, the secondplace team out of nine, scored 172 points. Leading the way were first-place wrestlers Madsen and Shimada. Madsen is undefeated thus far with six pins in six matches in the
Jordan Corpus scored a gamehigh 21 points. At Overlake High School on Saturday, the Falcons and Owls battled through the first half, with Overlake leading 35-29. But the Falcons rallied in the
152-pound class. Shimada was in a similar situation at the Bellevue tournament with pins in his three 170pound matches. Falcon seniors Tyler Russell, Kyrell Broyles, Jose Chavez and Beck Davis placed second in the 138, 160, 170 and 182 weight divisions, respectively. Broyles was close to winning the championship bout in overtime, but couldn’t capitalize on a few good moves. “He wrestled a real tough kid from Concrete who was a state qualifier from last year,” Thompson said. “He had him on his back but blew it.” Where South Whidbey distinguished itself was in the wrestlers’ ability to bounce back from a defeat and fight for the third-place match. Six Falcons battled in the third/fourth-place match, and five won for a third-place finish: Seth Schille in the 120, Hunter Newman in the 132, Donnie Sutton in the 145, Trevor Miller in the 220 and Pierce Jackson in the heavyweight. Josh McElhinny placed fourth in the 138, but his overall place did not count toward the team’s score because teams could only enter one wrestler per weight.
third quarter to trail only 43-41. Overlake pulled away in the fourth quarter with 17 points to win 60-50. Collins scored a game-high 21 points in the loss, and Asay added 14.

Nelson chats with actor Bruce Dern on the set of “Nebraska.”
At first glance Bob Nelson might seem like a regular islander, working on his lawn or enjoying the scene at Ebey’s Prairie. But Nelson will step out of the shadows this year and into a tuxedo. Nelson wrote the screenplay “Nebraska” and it’s been nominated for five Golden Globe awards, including best picture and best screenwriter. It’s up against screenplays for “Her,” “Philomena,” “12 Years a Slave” and “American Hustle.” The award show will take place Jan. 12. The film and Nelson’s screenplay are also nominated for numerous awards, including six nominations from the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, six nominations from Film Independent Spirit Awards, and two nominations for the film from the Screen Actors Guild. Nominees for the Academy Awards will announced on Jan. 16, 2014. Nelson can still hardly believe it. “It’s purely delusional,”

Wilson said the film brought back memories of her family, including one moment in the film when two characters are discussing moving to a farm. Wilson said that was an actual event, where she and Nelson’s father discussed just such a move. She said to his father, “No way would I ever milk cows,” and Nelson picked up on that memory in the film. “I never did have to milk cows,” she said. Nelson also took her to the premiere of the film, which she described as “awesome.” “I’m very proud of him and all that he’s accomplished in his life,” she said. “Hopefully there will be many more.”

true love? then leave the partridge in the tree
WHIDBEY BIRDING Frances Wood
“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree.” And two turtledoves, three French hens, four calling birds … .’Tis the season of gifting. While wandering through one of our local holiday bazaars, I was amazed to see the large number of gifts picturing birds. Birds on plates, birds on ornaments, birds on boxes of stationery, bird Christmas cards. Perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised, given the pounding into our brains of that original 12-gift Christmas song. That partridge in the song actually would be a rather
inappropriate gift for a true love, since the partridge exemplifies abandonment of faith. The partridge is known to desert its young, leaving them to fend for themselves. Far better to stick with the two turtledoves, which symbolize conjugal fidelity. A recent conversation with Margaret, who works in the Star Store’s women’s clothing section, reminded me that we’d do well to pay attention to the kinds of birds depicted on our gifts.

Margaret reminded me it would be best not to give a crow, or owl, to my 95-yearold mother-in-law. The term “old crow” tells it all, as does this old British saying: “A crow on the thatch, soon death lifts the latch.” Colorful yellow and black goldfinches are often the subjects of bird motifs.

larly returning home. If you have clergy to buy for, remember that bad priests become ravens and bad nuns become crows, at least according to French folklore. Although the golden eagle symbolizes bravery, I would never give my older brother anything with even the hint of that bird. The female golden eagle typically lays two eggs, the second egg a couple of days after the first, allowing the older eaglet to grow faster. If food supplies are low, the older sibling may kill and eat the younger one. Images of hummingbirds are very popular, but you might want to hold back, at least for a holiday gift. These birds are harbingers of rain in native Mexican custom. Coots were once considered birds of beauty and intelligence and they are often included in royal coats of arms. It was deemed the most prudent of all birds, staying in one place rather than gad-

ding about. However, unless your beloved spouse is versed in this tradition, I’d steer clear-given the more modern opinions, such as “crazy as a coot.” So what to give your spouse? You could search for the depiction of a blackbird on a pillow. German legend suggests that placing the heart of a blackbird under the head of a sleeping man would cause him to tell his innermost secrets. If someone you love has rheumatism you could try the feathers of a turkey vulture, which are supposed to be an effective cure. For this to work be sure to mention in the card that the feathers must be worn in one’s hair. To encourage this somewhat odd behavior, just remind them that the feathers will also provide protection against a scorpion’s bite. Probably the most commonly depicted bird of all is the chickadee. You’re safe with this one,

believed to be a sign of spring and also it will call to warn of impeding danger. The noted naturalist John Burrows wrote, “the chickadee has a voice of unspeakable tenderness and fidelity.” The perfect holiday wish for anyone on your holiday shopping list. I expect there will be an abundance of chickadees showing up on the tallies for this year’s Christmas Bird Counts. The north end count based around Oak Harbor will be held on Saturday, Dec. 21. The South End count, located from Greenbank south to Clinton, is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 27. If you’d like to participate, check the Whidbey Audubon website or Facebook page for more information.

than usual, Carman said, because of Jungwirth’s criminal history, which includes a prison sentence for assaulting a different girlfriend three years ago. As is the practice, Churchill asked Jungwirth if he had anything to say before she sentenced him Monday. He apologized for his actions and said he had found the love of his life. He then asked his girlfriend to marry him, according to the deputy prosecutor. Carman said he didn’t realize that
the woman was sitting directly behind him until she spoke, agreeing to the marriage proposal. She was sitting in the row that’s reserved for lawyers and court personnel for security reasons. As Carman said, the judge was not amused. She pointed out that jail staff cautioned defendants not to even look around the courtroom during the hearing, let alone communicate with anyone in the gallery. “The courtroom has a certain purpose, and marriage proposals during criminal hearings are not part of it,” Churchill wrote. “The defendant in question was entering a guilty plea to two serious felonies.”
Churchill warned him that the hearing wasn’t the proper place for a marriage proposal, but was willing to let it go. “However, in full defiance of that warning and without any sense of how generous the plea offer was, he again turned to the audience and spoke again to whom I suppose was his fiancé,” she added. Carman said no rings were exchanged during the memorable proposal, mainly because the groom-to-be was shackled.

budget CONTINUED FROM A1
flopped back under Larry Kwarsick in 2012, but state rules prohibit changing elected officials’ rate of pay during a term and the ordinance remained the same. The appointment and later election of McCarthy saw the issue arise again, as he sought to revert back to the full-time status. Seeking to end the issue once and for all, Neff went a step further from her statements of support Monday with a proposal to make the current $53,000 salary permanent. The job is a lot of work, she said, and challenged anyone to follow McCarthy around for day. She added that Kwarsick was able to work part-time by shuttling duties to the former public works director. “I think it was a lot,” she said. Councilman Jim Sundberg seconded Neff’s support, saying the concerns about the mayor’s pay “don’t really hold up well” when stacked

up against the last mayoral appointment process. “The difficulty was choosing among highly qualified people,” he said. “There is quite a talent pool in our community.” Neff and Sundberg are the two council members who selected McCarthy during the appointment process earlier this year. Only three of the five members of the council were allowed to vote as councilmen Hal Seligson and Bruce Allen were also seeking the appointment. Former Councilman Doug Allderdice voted for Seligson. Seligson, who did not seek reelection in November and served his last night on the council Monday, called the initial $31,000 mayor’s pay a placeholder and suggested the creation of a compensation commission. Recently-elected Councilman Thomas Gill agreed with the existing fulltime mayor model but was less sure about making the pay increase permanent, due to the prohibitions state law places on changing the rate during a term. The problem is taking it back if need be, he said. “We can always raise the salary but we can’t lower it,” Gill said. In the end, the council moved to discuss the matter further during a council retreat planned for early 2014. A good portion of the city’s budget is tied to the major overhaul of Second Street in the commercial core. Utilities will be replaced, the street redone and the sidewalks will be widened for about $2.1 million starting in January. The hope of city leaders is to create a better functioning space for people to shop, eat and relax in Langley.
