Jet noise dispute to land in Langley By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Seeking support and hoping to educate South Whidbey residents on its cause, Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve will visit Langley this week. The group, embroiled in a battle over jet noise and U.S. Navy operations at Outlying Field Coupeville, will speak and listen Thursday, Feb. 13, at the Langley United Methodist Church.

Freeland sewer Second Street work progresses, Commons struggles talks return Ben Watanabe / The Record

Workers clear dirt and grade the road near the post office and Langley City Hall on Second Street on Monday, Feb. 10.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Other than an hour without water at the library a couple of weeks ago, work digging up Second Street in Langley has gone well, city officials say. The massive redesign project began last month after years of planning and months of

public preparation. With a $2.2 million budget, the city plans to redo the street itself and, while it’s dug up, replace storm and water lines, slightly reduce parking, expand pedestrian areas, and create a plaza between Callahan’s Firehouse and South Whidbey Commons. Langley’s mayor reported that so far, work has exceeded expectations.

“They’re moving almost faster than we thought they would,” Mayor Fred McCarthy said. Parking along the street, between Cascade Avenue and Anthes Avenue, is greatly reduced. With fewer spots, especially near the library SEE SECOND STREET, A3

Jill Hein received the Jan Holmes Island County Coastal Volunteer of the Year award on Feb. 1.

Jill Hein is the newest recipient of the Jan Holmes Island County Coastal Volunteer of the Year award for 2014. The award honors the work of volunteers who protect and restore marine waters and coastal resources of Island County. She was presented the award Saturday, Feb. 1 at Oak Harbor High School. The namesake of the award, Jan Holmes, was an Island County resident and Washington State University Island County Beach Watcher known for her work as a marine scientist, educator and

steward of the marine environment. The award is co-sponsored by the Island County Marine Recourses Committee and WSU Island County Extension. This is the fourth year the award has been given. Hein was nominated by another volunteer who called her a “powerful environmental advocate and educator,” according to a news release. “She represents the best in a local resident as a steward of the coastal environment; she takes personal responsibility, teaches others and does the work. She is a champion for learning, sharing and translating knowledge into action.” Hein has volunteered as an Island County Beach Watcher since 2005 and has recorded more than 7,000 hours volunteering. She also gives her time to other environmental groups including Whidbey Audubon Society, Coastal Observation, Pigeon Guillemot Research Survey team and Seabird Survey Team, the Orca Network and the Central Puget Sound Marine Stranding Network. Hein has worked on several projects including the Eel Grass Monitoring Project, the “Problem with Plastics” brochure and the Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program for Whidbey Island.

SECOND STREET CONTINUED FROM A1

and City Hall, some of the more frequently used spaces left patrons of the popular Useless Bay Coffee Co., Braeburn and Star Store to park elsewhere around the city. “You can tell that First Street and the on-street parking spaces are filled up,” said Langley Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango. Water service was briefly disrupted for about an hour a couple of weeks back at the Langley Library. Despite the distractions on the street — bulldozers, water pipes, dirt mounds, orange cones in a labyrinth — Library Manager Vicky Welfare said people are still visiting the library. But she was surprised to find many were caught unaware of the major road work. “It’s astonishing to me how many people didn’t know this was going to happen,” she said, noting that the city sent out notices and the library even posted a flyer a while ago. With all of the parking spaces temporarily gone on the commercial stretch of Second Street, city leaders have recommended visitors park at the Langley United Methodist Church and the Third Street lot behind the post office and Langley Village. Useless Bay Coffee Co. recently had a sign on its door and on the front countertop notifying patrons that ample parking is in that lot. Not all is going swimmingly, however. Leaders of the South Whidbey Commons fear the work and major equipment — backhoes, pavers, graders, storm water pipes — parked in front of the cafe may stymie business at a crucial time for the nonprofit and could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back.

With the road of Second Street graded and sidewalks removed, people cross the pebble-lined street last week. Work on the project is on a four-day per week schedule, with Fridays seeing a reprieve from construction. “We may see the end of the Commons,” said Gloria Sherman, a Commons board member. The nonprofit’s executive director echoed those worries. “Right now, it’s looking bleak,” said Cheryl Sagmeister, who was hired as South Whidbey Commons’ executive director a couple of months ago. Net revenue from January 2013 totaled $6,203.68, compared to $4,009.77 last month.

Before the major destruction/construction project began, the Commons was in trouble financially. On average, the cafe grosses between $250 and $350 per day, a bit below what it costs to run the cafe. “This place doesn’t yield thousands of dollars, especially in the wintertime,” Sagmeister said. Training young people on Whidbey

Island in customer service, brewing coffee and even creating a resume and cover letter are parts of what the Commons does for the island’s youths. Sagmeister noted several programs she has planned, such as a partnership with middle school students to tend a produce garden for the Commons and donating day-old pastries and snacks to the homework club, are in jeopardy. “We’re slimly getting by,” she said. “I don’t have any reserve to implement some of these programs.” She addressed her concerns with KPG, the company in charge of the construction, and said she was heard by the project’s leader. But Sagmeister said not having a sidewalk or easy access to the cafe has kept people, especially elderly Brookhaven residents, from stopping by and ordering food. Meanwhile, the Commons’ next door neighbor seemed to have adjusted well to the road work. Star Store owner Gene Felton said customers were, for the most part, understanding. Felton also praised the construction crew for being courteous of the store owners and customers. “These guys have been really professional,” he said. “They were in here the first day asking what our delivery days and times were, when our peak times were.” Connections to the new waterline will begin Feb. 18. Businesses will be notified before any disruption of service, according to an email update from Arango. Disruption was planned in the late afternoon for restaurants and coffee shops with the hope that it will have less of an impact. Direct notice will be given before the service interruption is set to occur.

SOUTH END Possession Pt. body identified

LANGLEY Fair changes to be presented

The Island County coroner confirmed that a body discovered on a beach near Possession Point State Park last Thursday belonged to 35-year-old Brandon Smith of Clinton. The cause of death was accidental saltwater drowning, Island County Coroner Robert Bishop said. Smith was last seen Tuesday morning as he was going to work, Bishop said. The senior park aide reported finding the body at 2:31 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6 on the beach outside of state-owned housing. Bishop said Smith’s body, which was fully clothed, came in with the tide. Smith’s vehicle was found at the nearby park.

Drastic changes proposed for the way the Island County Fairgrounds look and are managed will be presented publicly at 7 p.m. Feb. 18. The meeting at the fairgrounds’ Coffman Building will cover proposals to create a new governing agency that will handle the countyowned property and facilities and a more than $10 million, 10-year plan to demolish, build and consolidate the 27 structures to 12. Some of the animal barns and stables would be torn down and rebuilt into large, open, covered spaces that can be configured according to an event’s needs with adjustable pens. The historic Pole Building is slated to remain.

PORT One submission for open position An initial search for a new Port of South Whidbey commissioner has yielded just one result. The application deadline for the District 2 seat formerly occupied by Chris Jerome passed last week and Langley resident Ed Halloran was the only one to submit a resume with the district. The port’s remaining commissioners, Curt Gordon and Dennis Gregoire, planned to review applications Tuesday, Feb. 11, during the district’s regularly scheduled monthly meeting, but with only one candidate, the port’s plans remained unclear earlier this week. Gordon said Monday the board may interview and appoint a candidate

CORRECTIONS The story “South Whidbey crashes send two to hospital,” in the Saturday, February 8 issue of The Record, left a word out of a quote that changed its meaning. It should have read, “It was lucky [Lund] did not have her wheels turned to the left.” The story “State court turns down SW murderer’s appeal,” in the Saturday, February 8 issue of The Record, attributed the wrong judge. James Huden was sentenced by Judge Vickie Churchill. at the Tuesday meeting — held after press time — but that it may also choose to delay. The commissioners set an initial deadline for Friday, Dec. 7, but Gordon said the submission period is not technically closed until April, or until an appointment is made. Jerome resigned on Jan. 14 and the commissioners have 90 days from that resignation, by April 14, to fill the position. Halloran has lived in Langley for 10 years and is the owner and president of a management consulting company called HALCO Management Systems. He is also active in youth and adult sailing camps with the South Whidbey Yacht Club, and in other groups including the Rotary Club of Whidbey Westside and The HUB, according to his application material. “I’m active in studies for

marina improvements,” he said. “This is good way to give something back.” Halloran previously lived in California where he served on multiple committees and worked in the aviation industry for more than 40 years, primarily in management positions. “I think I’m qualified to make objective determinations and make the right decisions,” Halloran added. Gordon said he will be considering what strengths the candidate would bring to the commission and look to get a sense of the person’s history. Commissioner Dennis Gregoire said he hopes the candidate is familiar with the Comprehensive Scheme and Strategic Plan, documents the commissioners have updated for this upcoming year.

Editorial

Growl your opinion at Langley jet meeting It appears the roaring controversy over jet noise up north will touch down on South Whidbey this week. Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, the private advocacy group lobbying to shut down U.S. Navy operations at Outlying Field Coupeville, will hold a meeting and presentation at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, at Langley United Methodist Church, 301 Anthes Ave. This hotly contested issue has seen endless debate in Coupeville and Oak Harbor, and public opinion is largely divided into two camps: those who support the Navy’s mission at the airstrip and those who don’t. What’s South Whidbey’s opinion on the matter? That remains something of a mystery and it shouldn’t be. No matter what side of the coin people fall on this seemingly distant but important issue, this is a meeting the public should attend and make their voices heard. Complaints about jet noise over Central Whidbey are nothing new. Coupeville residents have literally griped about the issue for decades. What’s changed is the Navy’s transition from the EA-6B Prowler to the Growler aircraft. These new jets have the same mission — electronic attack — but critics under and around the flight path maintain they are louder than their predecessors. Coupled with a rise in operations in recent years, it’s no surprise that disgruntled residents have raised their arms in protest. The advocacy group holding the meeting, referred to as COER [pronounced core], was formed in 2013 and they have been battling for silence ever since. While they have seen some victories, such as the Navy’s agreement to temporarily cease operations last year, the group is on the ropes in the arena of public support. Newspaper comment sections show strong and clear support for the Navy, and to date, no Whidbey Island elected body has vowed to back the group’s cause. Most recently, COER appealed to the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, but their request for support was rebuffed as well due to the group’s policy to stay out of political issues. The group has drawn healthy and like-minded crowds at meetings in Coupeville and Port Townsend, and no doubt members are hoping for a similar turnout in Langley. South Whidbey should not disappoint, at least concerning attendance. It’s unclear just how the closure of OLF, no matter how unlikely, would affect Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, but the base’s influence on the economy — about 10,000 jobs — cannot be ignored. This is an issue with the potential to impact everyone in Island County, and this is South Whidbey’s chance to learn more about the group’s cause and weigh in. Whether that voice will be one of support, one of disagreement or one of indifference is unknown, but whatever it is, it should not be one of silence.

Keep those wheels straight and us safe Editor, February 6: I drove my Prius down the island, heading for the ferry to present to writers in Seattle. Kristi Etzell was my passenger, and we waited to make a left turn onto Double Bluff to pick up Anne Belov. As oncoming traffic sped by from an earlier ferry, I commented about the approaching opening and how we would just wait, to be safe. Within a couple of seconds, we were rearended. The skid marks extended 100 feet. My passenger went to the hospital to get checked out, I refused, had Anne drive, did my presentation in

Seattle, and went to the hospital later. To the person who passed us on the right (and you may not even be aware of your contribution to this): There are reasons it’s not legal to pass on the right at an intersection. If I hadn’t known to keep my steering wheel straight and NOT turned to the left in preparation of a turn [see the correction on page 4], Kristi and I may not be here or would have had more severe injuries. To the young woman who hit us: Keep your eyes open for all possibilities. Anticipate them. Keep appropriate distance between you and the car in front of you. And when you’re making a left turn, never turn your wheel in preparation of the turn. Thank you for your compassion, apologies, and remorse. We could tell you were devastated. Be grateful.

To our amazing Whidbey responders: At the time, I couldn’t even come up with names for those of you I know personally, so I’ll spare trying to now and speak to you all as one. You cheered us up, kept us warm, made sure we were safe, got traffic moving, and when you heard I was refusing the ride to Whidbey General and going to Seattle, you even went back in the car to fish out the ferry ticket you remembered seeing.

decisions: As word of my accident gets out, I hear of other accidents at that intersection. I hope that adding turn lanes at Double Bluff is on the list of upcoming projects. February 7: It was a sore birthday for me the next day, but a grateful one. February 8: Thank you to the kind couple who tried to get our dog when they spotted him loose on Smugglers Cove Road. They had stopped traffic, and others were there helping. And to the truck driver who barreled past the waving arms urging you to slow down, who then ran over and killed our sweet schnauzer Ollie: Look outside yourself. Your impatience broke the hearts of many, including kids who have already had enough loss in their young lives. And back to that couple, who

tried to get vet care and eventually brought Ollie back home to us — we didn’t even get your names, but we’ve talked about you, thanked you over and over, and hope you know how grateful we are. We know why we live here, and yes, part of it is Whidbey’s beauty, but a greater part is the spirit of this community. My presentation in Seattle was well received. My body will heal and my heart will heal. When steering wheels are in our hands, let’s be where we are. And let’s be the people we are meant to be. DEB LUND Greenbank

Rep. Larsen’s reply was not representation Editor, I just had to write in regarding the article “U.S. Rep. Larsen outlines 2014 agenda” in the Jan. 29 edition of The Record. Larsen touched on his key objec-

tives like raising the minimum wage and how “the United States must invest in transportation infrastructure and education to create jobs and grow the economy in the long run.” I couldn’t agree more. These asides were the preliminary political verbiage to keep democratic-leaning voters voting for Larsen. The real meat of the article was in the balance of his “agenda” which included his real passion, the military machine, and to this he was candid. Referring to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, Larsen said, “things are in a good place” for the base. More planes and Growler squadrons, etc. “It’s all good news for the North End (of Whidbey)” Larsen said, to which I would add, brace yourself Whidbey Island and environs for the deafening sound of freedom. I had the opportunity to ask Congressman Larsen this question once: “In America today education is being cut, funds to repair our

infrastructure are cut, food, heat and housing assistance for the poorest Americans is being cut; in America when citizens take to the streets to protest being robbed by “banksters” the police come out in full force to beat and brutalize these citizens so they’ll get off the streets and out of the news; veteran services are being cut yet as a country we spend about a trillion dollars a year on “defense” so what I would like to know is what, precisely, are we defending?” To this Larsen said, “well this guy in North Korea is crazy so we have to watch out for the area … and … uh … this is just too complex a question to handle here right now.” That is not an answer Mr. Larsen, that is a dodge. I thought that my question was simple and earnest yet it elicited a “political tap dance” around it and in the second congressional district we call this representation. DAN FREEMAN Clinton

Wrestling sends 12 to regional Falcon girls end season with a win Madsen wins 145-pound class By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Finishing in third place at the 1A District 1 wrestling tournament was just what South Whidbey coach Jim Thompson envisioned. Sending 12 wrestlers to the regional round, the state qualifier, surpassed that hope, even if he was a bit let down that the Falcons did not best second-place Mount Baker. “I kind of expected it, but I was hoping upon hope that we’d give Mount Baker a better battle,” Thompson said. “For the little island guys here to finish in third place is pretty cool.” South Whidbey will be well represented at the bidistrict tournament featuring schools from District 1 and District 4 on Saturday, Feb. 15, at Blaine High School. Andy Madsen, a senior, was the top finisher for South Whidbey. He won the 145-pound class by beating teammate Kyrell Broyles, also a senior. While other schools elected to have one of their wrestlers forfeit when they faced a teammate, South Whidbey’s went head to head. “Kyrell would have killed me if I didn’t let him wrestle,” Thompson laughed. Two Falcons finished

Donnie Sutton tries to escape a pin in his first match at the 1A District 1 wrestling tournament Feb. 8 at Sedro-Woolley High School. The Falcon senior needed two breaks in the match to deal with a bloody nose. He missed out on advancing in the 138-pound class. as runners-up — juniors Trevor Miller in the 220 and Pierce Jackson in the 285. Both were set to automatically advance as their weights had three other entrants and the top four from each weight qualified for the regional tournament. Jackson’s 9-2 loss in the firstplace bout came against a wrestler who pinned him last year in the district tournament, and Thompson noted that three of those points came on penalties. “I was pretty proud of him,” Thompson said. “He had the No. 2-ranked heavyweight in the state that finished third last year.”

A trio of Falcon seniors finished in third place. Beck Davis will move on in the 182, and Calvin Shimada advances in the 170. James Itaya recovered from an early pin in the 152 to place third. Shimada and Jose Chavez faced off in the third-place bout, with Shimada claiming victory. Thompson noted that Chavez gave up some pounds to his teammate after failing to qualify for the 160. Shimada went through a grueling three-period bout in his first match, a pin in 5:59 — literally the last second of the match. “There were a lot of points I could have given up,” he said. “Those are long and wear you out the rest of the day.” SEE WRESTLING, A9

Falcon senior Madi Boyd drives through the key for a layup against Archbishop Murphy on Friday, Feb. 7 in South Whidbey’s final home game of the season.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Snapping a seven-game losing streak was the priority for the South Whidbey girls basketball team Monday night. The Falcons secured their third win of the season, beating the Granite Falls Tigers 56-53 at Granite Falls High School. Winning the season finale capped a down year for the Falcons, who suffered from a case of inexperience with a freshmen-laden squad and only three varsity upperclassmen. South Whidbey rebounded from an earlier loss on the team’s senior night Friday honoring lone senior Madi Boyd. Archbishop Murphy ran away with the

game 52-37, though only after South Whidbey started the game with a flurry of hustle and shots made. The Wildcats held the lead from their first possession, a three-pointer by sophomore Megan Wall, the night’s leading scorer with 28 points. From there, the ‘Cats sprinted to a 13-0 lead with 3:20 left in the first quarter. But the Falcons settled into their zone defense, forcing the Wildcats to pass along the perimeter and look for an entry pass near the basket. Trading missed outside shots, the Falcons finally — and perhaps fittingly — got on the board on a layup drive by Boyd, who scored a team-high 13 points. Falcon junior Abby Hodson followed suit with a banked jump shot, and sophomore Morgan Davis drilled a buzzer-beating three-pointer to close within six points. With momentum favoring South Whidbey, the Falcons closed in on the gap with another Hodson jump shot to trail 15-11. Following the shot, Archbishop Murphy’s head

coach Cassie Snyder called a time out and implored her team to cease the barrage of three-pointers — most of them missed — that had let the Falcons creep on the lead. Message received. The Wildcats hit a short baseline jump shot, a layup, missed a couple of low post shots and scored a layup on their following four possessions. At the end of it, Archbishop Murphy held a 10-point lead. South Whidbey whittled that down to 23-15 on a Megan Drake layup, but was unable to score after a Kristen Schuster steal in the final minute before halftime. On Archbishop Murphy’s first possession of the second half, it regained its doubledigit lead on a pair of free throws by freshman Sam Hayward. The Wildcats followed up with a steal and a quick Wall layup.

Boys hoops season put on the ropes Falcons to host loser-out game By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Ben Watanabe / The Record

Pierce Jackson, right, fights for a hold in the first 285-pound match at the 1A District 1 wrestling tournament Feb. 8 at Sedro-Woolley High School.

WRESTLING CONTINUED FROM A8

Three more Falcons finished in fourth place, the last qualifying spot for the regional tournament: freshman Seth Schille in the 113, freshman Hunter Newman in the 126, and senior Tyler Russell in the 138. “The kids wrestled great,” Thompson said. “I’m real proud of them.” Blaine won the District 1 team title.

South Whidbey’s wrestlers had little time to savor their hard-fought victories. Practices in the days leading to the regional tournament were planned to be technique days, Thompson said. Rather than run and condition, they would focus on their attacks, escaping from the down position and footwork. The top four wrestlers from the regional tournament qualify for the Mat Classic state wrestling tournament in Tacoma.

Facing the season’s end, South Whidbey’s boys basketball team will have one more shot Wednesday to keep playing. The Falcons fell to the Meridian Trojans 76-62 on Monday in the first round of the 1A District 1 boys basketball tournament at Meridian High School. It was the second time this season Meridian manhandled South Whidbey; the first was the season-opener, a 59-43 victory on the Falcons’ court. Losing came with a silver lining of sorts. South Whidbey (4-10 Cascade Conference, 5-15 overall) will host Nooksack Valley (0-12 Northwest Conference, 0-21 overall) at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12. South Whidbey failed to capitalize on decent nights from its top scorers. Junior Parker Collins scored a game-high 24 points, including four three-pointers, and senior Brandon Asay added 14 points.

Meridian (6-6 Northwest Conference, 12-10 overall) took a lead in the first quarter and stretched it to a 38-31 halftime advantage. The Trojans grounded the Falcons to 13 points in the third quarter while stretching their lead to 55-44. Both teams favored outside shots. South Whidbey scored 10 three-point field goals; Meridian hit 11, including three from Alex Martin, who scored a team-high 21 points. It was the Falcons’ fourth loss in a row, which came on the heels of South Whidbey’s first winning streak of the season. South Whidbey lost its last Cascade Conference game of the season in a rout to Granite Falls, 91-77. It was the most points South Whidbey allowed in a game all season, but was also the most points South Whidbey scored in a single game.

District playoff South Whidbey’s boys basketball team will host a loser-out 1A District 1 tournament game at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12 at South Whidbey High School. The Falcons host the Nooksack Valley Pioneers, who have not won a game. The Tigers may have roared past the Falcons behind 11 three-pointers, but they allowed Collins to score a game-high 27 points. Whereas South Whidbey found success from beyond the three-point arc in other games, it cost them dearly against Granite Falls. The Falcons scored only two three-pointers in their final league game, both from senior CJ Sutfin.

rise to 24 points by the fourth quarter. With 90 seconds left, Boyd displayed the passing ability that led her dad, who served as the team’s home game announcer, to dub her the “Duchess of Dribble” during pregame introductions, with a baseline drive and pass to Davis for a short jump shot. Boyd followed with a foul, hitting both free throws with 39 seconds left when Falcon head coach Andy Davis pulled her out for a curtain call of sorts. “That’s how you finish,” her father said over the speakers.

Jean Agnes Bjorn

Jean Agnes Bjorn, 87, passed away peacefully on Feb. 7, 2014, at Swedish Medical Center in Edmonds, Wash., due to complications from COPD. She was born to Alexander and Agnes Veilleux in Bellingham, Wash., on Sept. 24, 1926. The Veilleux family eventually moved to Arlington where she lived with her three older sisters: Rosie, Kay and Corinne. Jean was a graduate of Arlington High School, Class of 1944, and attended Seattle College (now Seattle University). She married Phillip Henry Bjorn on July 24, 1946, and they built a home in Arlington, Wash., where they raised their two children: Timothy John and Susan Kay. While in Arlington, Jean enjoyed gardening, playing golf and bridge and being an active member of the Lady Lions service organization. She and her husband eventually moved to Whidbey Island where they owned and operated Langley Building Supply. The couple celebrated

their 50th anniversary in 1996, and after her husband’s passing in 1999, Jean remained at the home they built on Useless Bay Golf Course until several years ago. Most recently, she was a resident of Fairwinds Brighton Court in Lynnwood, Wash. While there, Jean enjoyed the friendships she made, along with her beloved cat Pawsy. She leaves behind her two children: son Tim Bjorn and his wife Nancy of Everett, Wash.; daughter Sue Frause and her husband Bob of Langley, Wash.; six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held in her honor at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland. Remembrances may be made in her name to Good Cheer, P.O. Box 144, Langley, WA 98260.

Joanne Hannah

Joanne Hannah, 86, passed away Feb. 4, 2014, a month after suffering a

major stroke. Born and raised in Seattle, she first came to Whidbey Island when she was just two weeks old, staying summers and holidays throughout her childhood at her family’s property on Brighton Beach in Clinton. An avid gardener and ardent lover of Whidbey Island history, Joanne touched many lives with her joyous spirit and energy, sharing with everyone her love of people, nature and life. Born Aug. 12, 1927, she graduated from Seattle’s Lincoln High School in 1945 and attended the University of Washington where she earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism and was a member of Chi Omega Sorority. Her career began at SAFECO where she worked in personnel management, eventually gaining responsibility for interviewing all women job applicants. After a few years she began what was to be a distinguished career in social work for the State of Washington Department of Health and Human Services. While there, she returned to the University of Washington, earning her master of social work (MSW) degree. A wellrespected social worker, she spent many years working in the fields of aging and child welfare services in the public and private sectors. She and her husband Pat (Lowell P.), who were married in 1956, began living on Whidbey Island part time in 1975. In 1999, after both were retired, they moved to Whidbey permanently where she became active in many island organizations. Joanne was a member and past board member of the South Whidbey

Grace Lenox

Grace Elizabeth Milton Bull Lenox, 84

Our beloved “Blue” died on Feb. 5, 2014, after a brief illness. She honored her children by allowing them to help care for her at Careage of Whidbey in Coupeville. When Blue departed, she was with her dear friend, Jamie Huden. Blue was born on Feb. 23, 1929, in Essex, England and arrived in Minneapolis, Minn. on Jan. 1941 as a refugee of WWII. She was adopted by Rewey Belle Inglis, attended West High and the University of Minnesota, and in 1951 married Phil Lenox. She joined Phil in France

while he was in the Army. She taught reading to GI’s before returning to Minneapolis to start their family. They raised four children, bees and many goats while living on a hobby farm at Lake Independence near Maple Plain, Minn. Blue worked for many years at Snow Crest Ski Area and also as a real estate agent for Burnet. Phil and Blue moved to Whidbey Island in 1995. She loved to travel, garden, cook, ski, weave and play tennis, bridge, and cribbage. She adored her friends and spent time with her family on holiday rendezvous. Blue is survived by husband Philip, daughters Deb (Jim), Mary (Gumby), sons John (Serena) and Brook (Kelly), five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, cousin Adelma, nieces and nephews and loyal friends. A celebration of her life will occur later this spring. Memorials preferred to Save the Children or Smile Train. A big squeeze to all the staff who cared for her at Careage in Coupeville.

Merrell was inspired by the music for this story. He describes the music as infectious and said it was fun to watch the cast interpret the material. Eileen Soskin, music director, said one of the biggest challenges of putting the musical together was figuring out which songs to use. Soskin and Merrell worked together to narrow down a large list into categories for each couple ranging from love songs to songs of marital discord. From there, Merrell wove a plot. “There were so many beautiful songs from the ’30s I’m happy to say we were able to (use),” she said. The music is a familiar tune for d’Armand, who plays Ginger in the estranged age. She enjoys

bringing her classical music background to the mix. Growing up to these songs, d’Armand said she never thought she would be performing them on stage. “I was thinking I wouldn’t be able to play these parts until my next life, but this is a lot of fun.” Her act includes many “juicy and flirty” songs such as “Stormy Weather” and “You’re An Old Smoothie.” One of her favorite moments in the play is when the estranged Fred, played by Asplund, finishes the song “I’m Old Fashioned” and the two share a moment of tenderness that leads to their getting back together, she added.

Polygraph results land hopeful police officer in court By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record

Jessie Stensland / The Record

Dylan G. Jefferies stands in court with lawyer Jennifer Bouwens. Jefferies pleaded not guilty to 17 counts of possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

A man applying to be a reserve police officer in Langley lied on a polygraph exam, but ended up admitting to having child pornography on his home computer, according to court records. Dylan G. Jefferies, the 27-year-old applicant, pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court on Monday to 17 counts of possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Three counts were firstdegree charges, the most serious, and the rest were second-degree. Jefferies, a Freeland resident and former South Whidbey Fire/EMS volunteer, went through a polygraph exam in 2011 after he applied to become a reserve

police officer with the city of Langley. The polygraph examiner advised the police chief that Jefferies showed deception on a question regarding illegal sexual activity; Jefferies allegedly admitted to the examiner that he had images of child pornography on his home computer, according to the report on the case. Jefferies, however, claimed in a letter to a state investigator that the polygraph examiner refused to accept his answers and coerced him into making a statement he did not agree with. Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office was called in to investigate the case. He’s a forensic computer expert. Wallace obtained a search warrant and seized a computer and a hard disk drive from Jefferies’ home.

Wallace found many images and videos that appeared to be child porn. He submitted the suspected files to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to determine if any of the child victims are known; the group reported back that nine of the image files and eight videos are known child porn victims. A double murder, multiple sex assaults and a catastrophic computer failure delayed the case for about two years. Wallace wrote that he “shelved” the case temporarily due to the high-priority investigations. Then the department’s computer storage device failed and he lost eight terabytes of work. Wallace rebuilt the case last year after the department purchased a new storage device. In addition to child porn, Wallace found “questionable”

BE THE 1st CHOICE!

Pricing your home to sell can be hard. Price it too low and you leave money you need on the table, price it too high and wait… and wait… and wait. Base the price you set for your home on two factors: Accurate, detailed information about what buyers are paying for homes like yours, and your timetable for selling. Your real estate agent has readily—available pricing information that carefully compares price, terms, and condition of homes recently sold. If your timetable to sell is short and you need to move out of state within two months, avoid putting a 12-month price-tag on your home. Likewise, if you’re planning to build a new home when this one sells, a six to nine month price may be just perfect. Remember, buyers base their purchase offers on the value offered by each home. Make your home the ﬁrst choice for a successful sale!

February is a short month with a long list

WHIDBEY RECIPES

Margaret Walton

February may be short compared to all the other months, but it’s certainly not short on days of importance. One day just for a furry animal to tell us we’re no way finished with winter, followed by two presidential birthdays, a day devoted to nothing but thoughts of love, Steve Jobs’ birthday (when did his birthday start making the calendar, I wonder), and assorted other notable February happenings. If you’re reading this before the 19th, for example, be sure to buy yourself a box of Cracker Jacks to munch on that day, because that’s when the very first prize appeared in those iconic boxes. All of my “kid” years, I loved not only the sugary, caramel-coated popped corn, but eagerly waited to see what prize I’d find inside, always hoping for a ring. I’m not sure what eventually became of the shoebox full of Cracker Jack prizes I accumulated, but I suspect Mom disposed of my collection when I left for college. And yes, I still buy myself a box of Cracker Jacks now and then; no, I don’t

keep the prize (unless it’s a ring). As for the birthdays, we’ve lumped Washington’s and Lincoln’s together now, celebrating them both on President’s Day, but there are numerous other February birthdays of note to acknowledge. How about a Gypsy Rose Lee birthday celebration (I can imagine lots of fun costume ideas for that one); and consider turning on all those new-fangled light bulbs you’re forced to use now in honor of Thomas Edison’s birth 167 years ago. Personally, on Feb. 26, Johnny Cash’s 82nd birthday, I’m going to play all of my Johnny Cash records and CDs, one after another, all day long and into the night. I did love that Man in Black; still do. As I said in the beginning of this February ramble, there’s not a day this month that doesn’t have some event to commemorate. John Glenn orbiting the earth as we watched, glued to our TV sets; the official birth of the Boy Scouts; and now the entire month devoted to African-American History and Women’s Cancer Awareness. And, by the way, the last day of February marks the official recognition, in 1854, of an upstart new political party. The Republican Party. Celebrate, or not? I’m not touching that one with a stick.

RECIPES There are many kinds of love — parental love, puppy love, true love, lost love, everlasting love, long-distance love, teenage love, etc. etc. — and if you’re reading this before Valentine’s Day, you may be planning some sort of celebration of and for your love. For me, this always means coming up with a special meal to show my love how much I care. If

Valentine’s Day has already come and gone, so what; a special meal to show you care is welcome any day of the year, right? Here are a couple of my celebration favorites. I fell in love with this first simple but outstanding treat during travels in Italy, where it is very popular but never exactly the same from one place to another. You can come up with your own variations, as well.

ITALIAN JAM TART 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened ½ cup sugar ¼ t. grated lemon zest (or ¼ t. vanilla) 1 ½ cups flour Pinch of salt 1 to 1 ¼ cups fruit jam (berry, apricot, cherry; this is where you get creative and if you make your own homemade jam, use whatever your love likes; fig preserves is big in our house) 1. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer with the whisk attachment to beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is very light in color. Add the lemon zest or vanilla and blend well. 2. In a med. bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add this to the butter mixture and mix by hand just until the dough is thoroughly combined (if it seems too stiff, add a bit of water). Take a scant ½ cup of the dough and pat it out onto a plate and put it in the freezer. (See note below re the more traditional method of assembling the tart.) 3. Press remaining dough evenly into and up the sides of a nine-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. If the dough seems too soft, put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before pressing into the pan. Refrigerate the tart

crust for 15 min. 4. After chilling the crust, remove from ’frig and spread the jam filling you’ve chosen evenly in the crust, starting at the center and working out. The jam should be thinly spread and it shouldn’t look like a pie filling. Remove the reserved dough from the freezer and crumble it into small pieces over the jam. 5. Bake the tart in a preheated 350 degree oven (on rack in center of oven) for 25-30 min., or until topping is golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a rack, then remove tart from sides of pan. Cut into wedges to serve, with or without whipped cream or a small dollop of creme fraiche. Note: In Italy, this tart is traditionally made with a lattice top; divide the dough into two balls, one slightly larger than the other. Refrigerate the balls about a half hour, then roll the larger ball out to make pastry crust in tart pan. Follow directions as above but use other ball, rolled out, to cut out lattice strips to place over the jam filling, lightly brushing the strips with a bit of cream before baking as above instructions. In my house, love and chocolate go hand in hand. I’ve eaten many versions of Chocolate Decadence over the years; this is one of the best.

CHOCOLATE DECADENCE 1 lb. dark chocolate (70 percent, more if you like; sweet or bittersweet but not unsweetened) 1 ¼ sticks unsalted butter (no substitutes, please) 4 eggs 1 T. sugar 1 T. sifted flour 2 cups whipping cream 1 T. powdered sugar

1 t. vanilla Chocolate curls, for garnish 8 oz. fresh or frozen raspberries, pureed and strained 1. Cut out a circle of parchment paper to fit an 8-inch round cake pan. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler; set over gently simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the top of the double boiler. 2. Combine eggs and sugar in top of double boiler and set over gently simmering water. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and mixture darkens and is barely warm to the touch. Remove from heat; beat on high with electric mixer until eggs have tripled in volume and are the consistency of lightly whipped cream (5-10 min.). Gently fold in flour. Carefully stir 1/3 of the egg mixture into the chocolate to loosen, then fold chocolate into remaining eggs until thoroughly combined. 3. Turn batter into prepared pan and bake until the cake is soft in the center but crusty on top, about 15 min. Let cool completely in pan, then freeze the cake overnight. (It can be kept in the freezer for up to a month.) 4. About an hour before serving, whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Invert cake onto a serving plate (if it doesn’t want to come out, spin it over heat on the stove top briefly to loosen it). Spread 2/3 of the whipped cream over the top, mound chocolate curls in center and pipe rosettes of remaining whipped cream around edge of cake. Refrigerate until about 15 min. before serving; serve with raspberry puree on the side to be added as desired. Serves 8-10.

The loose plan is to hammer out details of the project, approach and gain the support of downtown property owners, and approve a general plan sometime this summer.

The district’s interest in building sewers is due to potential benefits to the water system and increased commerce. Sewers may reduce the nitrate levels in the district’s wells, a nagging worry for district officials, but would also provide the infrastructure for new development and density increases on properties within the commercial core. The district is also mandated by the Growth Management Act of 1990 to plan for future growth, but Campbell reiterated that nothing forces the district to move forward, despite the potential benefits. “We’re required to plan, not build ... but, it would be a good thing from Freeland water.”

JET NOISE CONTINUED FROM A1

dents. “They’re affected,” Monson said of people on South Whidbey. “So we’ll do our song and dance any place … There were enough that said, ‘Will you please come down and explain what’s going on.’ This was by request.” COER’s scheduled appearance was a surprise to some city leaders, including longtime Councilwoman Rene Neff. The visit, however, was not announced at City Hall, nor has public support been sought by COER from the city. “We haven’t even discussed it actually,” she said. “And no one has come to the council meeting to discuss it either … We’re not directly involved.” Langley’s role in a fight 22 miles north was not made clear by Monson, nor clearly understood or even accepted by Neff. The published flight path has the jets flying in loops over Central Whidbey and a bit south of Coupeville, well away from the Village by the Sea. But Monson, who set up a phone line for peo-

ple to voice their complaints regarding jet noise, maintained that calls were made from Greenbank, Freeland and Langley. Most recently, COER made a stop in Port Townsend to hear their concerns about jet noise and a proposed increase in Field Carrier Landing Practice operations at OLF Coupeville. “Lo and behold, calls were coming in from everywhere,” Monson said. “They were coming in from Port Townsend, from La Conner, from Langley, from Lopez Island. Despite his claim, Neff said she did not plan on attending the meeting. She isn’t, however, apathetic to Central Whidbey citizens’ and business owners’ concerns. Neff said she heard from friends around Coupeville that were upset with jet noise as they hosted weddings and other events. She instead referred to her duties to Langley and its residents. “Personally, at this point, I don’t know that it’s my place to take a position on that issue,” Neff said, later adding, “On the other hand, if the Navy went away, that would be a huge, huge loss.”
