Commissioner candidate lineup continues with fifth hopeful

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Just a few days after Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson resigned, a fifth candidate has come forward in hopes of replacing her on the board.

Camano Island resident and Republican Aubrey Vaughan, a member of the Island County Law and Justice Council, announced this week that he is throwing his hat in the metaphorical ring.

Though he decided to run months ago,

he is entering the race during an exciting and potentially controversial time.

Next week is the filing period for the general election. With four other candidates running for the commissioner position, Vaughan will almost certainly face a

primary election.

One of the candidates could take office much sooner. With Emerson quitting, the two remaining commissioners will get SEE VAUGHAN, A20

Tim Callison and Robin Black, married for two years, are both seeking the appointment for a single Langley City Council seat.

Langley couple applies for Jerome’s soon-to-be vacant city council seat

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record A marriage will be playfully and publicly tested this summer.

Husband and wife Robin Black and Tim Callison have each applied for the soon-to-be vacant Langley City Council seat currently occupied by Margot Jerome. Win or lose, they each said they would be happy if the other was appointed by the council to fill Jerome’s post.

“We really are fine with either one of us getting it,” Black

said.

Both are business owners. Black runs Connects Marketing Group as its CEO and has lived in Langley for a decade, though her family has long had South Whidbey ties with a Saratoga-area home. Callison came to Langley, he said, for love, and to be with Black after they were married two years ago.

Now they’re ready to jump into the fray of setting policy for the city.

“We’ve been talking about it since it was first announced,”

Callison said. “Since I’m semi-retired, Robin thought I had time on my hands.”

Similar to Jerome, who is leaving the city to be with her husband in North Carolina, Black and Callison said they wanted to be city council members who could make people feel like they were intently listened to and heard.

When they discussed why they wanted the position and why they were a good choice, each could not help but praise SEE COUPLE, A13

Jan Quade and Mary Posz stand in front of the garage sale benefitting Quade. The sale raised more than $1,500.

Whidbey Telecom employees and friends of Mary Quade got together for a good cause on Saturday, May 3, in the company’s parking lot.

The group collected hundreds of items for a garage sale benefitting Quade, a Clinton resident who lost her home in a fire this past April.

The group raised more than $1,500 for Quade.

Lead organizer Mary Posz said the day went well with people stopping by all day to view the hundreds of items for sale. Posz said at

the beginning of the day people dropped off more than six truck loads of items ranging from glassware to lumber.

About 20 people came to volunteer throughout the day. Hot dogs and baked goods were also available.

Quade, who was also at the sale, said it was amazing to see so many people come to the sale and help.

“It’s such a wonderful surprise,” she said.

“I couldn’t have asked for more supportive friends.”

Commissioners to restore five-day county service Select offices slated for reduced hours

“What I like about this proposal is services that were cut.

The new hours will open county a couple of things. … it does address administrative services from 8 a.m. the need in planning and community to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, development, the health department including offices for the treasurer, and public works where they do auditor, assessor and the commis- have complicated processes that they need to go sioners office. over that require The new hours collaboration would go into between departaffect about a month after adopments, and they need some time tion. to do that without The public having the public counters for pubCarol Wilkerson waiting for them lic works, planCamano at the counter as ning and public they do,” Johnson health will reopen said. “So putting on Fridays, but them on that the MondayFriday public schedule will be short- eight to three allows for that quiet ened slightly from the current 8 team collaboration to happen.”

Commissioner Kelly Emerson a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Department heads have argued that stated her unwillingness to align Fridays have provided staff much the Camano Island offices with the needed quiet time to complete tasks hours of the Island County offices without public interruption, and the because she wanted to keep costs 3-4:30 p.m. time period is expected down. The commissioners heckled over opening the Camano Island to allow for that.

By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Island County offices will soon be open to the public on Fridays.

Commissioners Jill Johnson and Helen Price Johnson decided at Monday’s board meeting that the community needs the extra day to access county services. Their agreement provides the majority needed for the proposal to pass, but the formal decision won’t be made until 10 a.m. Monday, May 12.

“Progress … it will be very well received in our community,” Price Johnson said.

County offices have been closed to the public due to staffing cutbacks starting in 2009. Last year’s budget revealed that the county has finally begun to recover from the recession and commissioners have been slowly reviving programs and

“We certainly could use five days a week here on Camano.”

offices at 9 a.m., as they are currently, or 8 a.m. in keeping with Whidbey Island offices.

Johnson finally conceded.

Emerson, however, announced her resignation at the end of the meeting so its unclear if the 8 a.m. time will stand. Johnson and Price Johnson agree that the hours of the Camano Island county services, which will include the commissioners office, public health and planning, should mirror administrative hours on Whidbey, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“It’s important to be consistent across our departments and across both islands,” Price Johnson said.

“With assurance from staff that they won’t lose accuracy or efficiency, I’m comfortable moving it forward.”

The changes will cost the county an additional $37,000 annually, according to Budget Director Elaine Marlow. Commissioners waited for Marlow to present the year’s first quarter returns before deciding the county could afford the change.

The positions represent District 1, South/Central Whidbey; District 2, Oak Harbor; and District 3, Camano Island. Applicants must reside within the area they seek to represent.

Wilkerson said that while she agrees with the move to open Fridays, she disagreed that the county was using two part-time people to fill a fulltime role on Camano. She said it appeared they were attempting to avoid the cost of full-time benefits.

“We certainly could use five days a week here on Camano, it’s a long trip to Coupeville and so we definitely would like to see it staffed here five days a week,” Wilkerson said. “…If we do extend we should consider giving full hours to our staff. We shouldn’t have part-time employees for the purpose of not giving benefits. I don’t think that’s the right thing to do.”

Emerson disagreed with the increased hours and said she wanted to stay away from paying benefits.

“I’m not in agreement there,” Emerson said. “I’m not in favor of making that change with the front office there to add those additional costs in. If that’s the best you can do, I still don’t go along with it.”

The fate of a 4.5acre Bayview property purchased years ago by Whidbey General Hospital for $2 million may be decided at a meeting in Coupeville next week.

Surplus property to sell is listed among the agenda items at the board’s regularly scheduled monthly meeting at 7 a.m. Monday, May 12, in the hospital’s conference room A. Resolution 347 is to be presented by Hank Hanigan, the hospital’s chief operations officer.

Attempts to reach Hanigan for details about the agenda item before deadline were unsuccessful Friday morning.

In 2008, the hospital bought the property from Verlane Gabelein for $2 million. A private appraisal was never conducted, but the Island County Assessor’s Office tallied the value of the property at the time at $618,000.

The plan for the

property, located across Highway 525 from The Goose Community Grocer, was to build a new South Whidbey Clinic. Those plans have since soured and the hospital is considering selling the property.

A discussion last month resulted in the board agreeing to talk about the issue again this month. If the board agrees to sell the property, state law requires that it have three independent appraisals conducted.

The assessor’s office listed the value of the undeveloped lot at $595,890 in 2013.

Post offices collect donated food Post offices on Whidbey Island and across the country are partnering with local food banks Saturday, May 10, to “Stamp Out Hunger.”

Postal customers are asked to leave nonperishable food donations by their mailboxes on Saturday for their postal carriers to collect.

The food will be delivered to local food banks.

During its 22-year history, Stamp Out Hunger has grown to become the country’s largest singleday food drive.

There are donation bins at some of the island’s post offices for customers who have post office boxes.

Second Street costs projected to be $250,000 over budget City planner says Langley has funding in place to cover work

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Facing a projected $250,000 of additional bills for the overhaul of Second Street in downtown Langley, the city’s planning director said it can cover the costs.

Invoices have piled up for the project that included replacing waterlines between Cascade and Anthes avenues, redoing the street and its base, expanding the sidewalks and creating a crosswalk plaza between Callahan’s Firehouse and the South Whidbey Commons. Other work has popped up as the project progressed, such as connecting the Langley post office parking lot to Third Street, replacing the soil on Second Street with a more suitable material, realignment of the Cascade Avenue stormwater line, and moving a fire hydrant into the city’s right of way.

“We have incurred significant extra costs,” said Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango.

The overruns amount to about 11.5 percent of the project’s original $2.2 million revenue budget. Langley is funding more than half of the project with state and federal monies, totaling nearly $1.4 million. About $805,000 worth of city money from Ben Watanabe / The Record the Water Fund, Stormwater Fund and a $412,000 city-council approved bond will cover the rest.

Dog House demolition ban warrants caution

The Langley City Council bought some more time for the hundred-year-old Dog House on First Street this week when it approved a temporary moratorium on the demolition of historic structures.

Slowing the wrecking ball’s date with this historic structure was the right move. The Dog House, despite its current condition, is still considered a treasure by the broader Langley community, and arranging for additional time to find a resolution with the owners makes sense, but the council should tread carefully.

The Dog House was not purchased by a council member. It does not belong to Langley, nor the public.

It belongs to Charlie and Janice Kleiner. They own it, because they are the ones who paid for it.

Meddling with their development plans by making code changes, even temporary ones, after those designs came to light is a slippery path. In fact, the six-month ban is probably only permissible because the council raced to make the code change before the Kleiners submitted a demolition permit application.

Generally, new land use laws are applied proactively, not retroactively. It’s a protection for property owners, like the Kleiners, who have purchased property with the understanding that they can do “X” under the existing set of laws. Imagine spending great sums of money on an investment only to have government officials, be they elected leaders or hired planners, later say they don’t like the color or shape of those designs and are going to change the rules. It doesn’t work that way, and for good reason.

That said, the Kleiners have responsibilities of their own, though perhaps not legal ones. Buying a historic property carries with it moral obligations that should not be taken lightly. Whether the city made renovation difficult or not, the Dog House remains a structure of community importance and they should do their utmost to save the building. Call it being good neighbors or simply the right thing to do, but don’t tear it down. At the very least, they should be willing to meet with city officials to try and identify a solution.

The Dog House is a classic example of property rights versus the public good, and it’s no new debate. Coupeville, the second oldest town in Washington and seated with in Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, has coped with this headache for decades, yet demolition remains a prickly issue. The lesson to be learned is that there is no fits-all answer that works in every situation.

Yet hope remains. Langley and the Kleiners have six months to figure this out. May they reach an agreement and see the Dog House renewed. If not, then the city and the public should be prepared to step aside, or put up the money to save the structure.

Commissioners’ near marijuana ban “shocking” Editor, Even more shocking than Kelly Emerson’s resignation is how close our Island County commissioners came to banning marijuana use in Island County.

The people of Washington state voted in favor of the legalization of marijuana, and that law should stand in our county without issue.

No lawsuits, desire to listen Associate’s degree an Concern needed for commissioner alternative to college debt Commandments of Editor, Here are two requirements for our Editor, The editorial cartoon in the May 7 government need study next county commissioner. Number one: No lawsuits against the county.

Number two: The ability and desire to listen to what her fellow commissioners have to say.

Our government is a democracy.

The job of our elected officials is to work with each other in good faith. We, the people, expect them to understand conflicting interests, to find common ground and sensible compromises.

We do not need another commissioner with the methods and goals of Kelly Emerson.

Letter writer, editor, published ‘pure rubbish’ Editor, After reading the “letters to the editor” of the May 3 issue I’m not sure who I’m more angry at with, the imbecile who saw a “Fiber Farm” sign and assumed that since it wasn’t dietary fiber it must be a drug grower or the editor for publishing pure rubbish and endangering every Fiber Farm on this end of the island from idiots who might now think they sell dope.

There are many fiber farms and guess what, they sell fiber from alpacas, llamas, goats and sheep.

STAFF

edition of the South Whidbey Record showed a new graduate squeezed and about to be swallowed by a giant snake named Debt.

Although I chuckled briefly, this scenario is a somber reality for many.

Earning an associate’s degree or even taking some college classes at a community college before going off island to a university is one way for students to save money and decrease the cost of their bachelor’s degree. For example, a year of full-time tuition and fees at Skagit Valley College would run students around $4,200, while that same year at an off-island public university would cost between $8,000 and $12,000, and that’s without the approximately $10,000 for room and board to live on campus or the cost of the commute for those who continue to live on the island.

High school juniors and seniors with at least a 2.25 grade point average can save even more (money and time) by participating in the Running Start program, earning high school and college credit at the same time. Their tuition is covered, and they are only responsible for books and fees.

Earning an associate’s degree is a smart move for many on their educational journeys and a way to lessen the squeeze of college debt.

Sincerely,

Editor, We study the Bible every week. Why don’t we study the constitution every week?

How many times have I read Romans? How many times have I read the Establishment clause?

How many interpretations are there of Romans? How many court decisions interpreting the Establishment Clause?

Gratitude for South Whidbey Hearts, Hammers Editor, It’s that time of year again. Hearts & Hammers was out in full force last Saturday, May 3. I haven’t had need of them for years, but this year my wood shed was sagging badly and this wonderful, competent, reliable group came out and did a fabulous job of shoring it up. They did a bit of landscaping too.

We are extremely lucky to have them. I appreciate their efforts very much. Thank you, Hearts & Hammers volunteers, we sing your praises.

An alleged telephone campaign seeking funding for a drug and alcohol prevention program at Langley Middle School is a scam, South Whidbey School District officials confirmed this week.

Neither the district nor a school partner is involved in such an effort, said Superintendent Jo Moccia, and residents who receive calls requesting money for the phony effort should report the incident to police.

“None of us know anything about it,” Moccia said. “I would warn people to not accept phone solicitation when they don’t know the person on the other end.”

The bogus campaign came to light this week when a Langley man, Mike Swap, was contacted by a person who claimed to represent the Langley Police Department. According to Swap, the man said he was collecting

money for a drug and alcohol prevention program at the middle school.

The caller was friendly and convincing, said Swap, but as a victim of a past scam he was highly suspicious and a quick call to Langley police confirmed his fears.

“They said the department doesn’t do that,” Swap said. “The officer said phone scams are common, and that even he’s gotten calls at home.”

Police Chief Dave Marks confirmed the department is not involved in any such effort on behalf of the school district, nor is he personally aware of any such program at the school.

“I’ve never heard of that, and I don’t think I’m that out of the loop,” said Marks, with a chuckle.

He added that if his department was collecting money, he has yet to see the dividends.

“I haven’t seen the check yet,” he said.

According to Marks, if Langley

police were collecting for a community or school program, the effort would be highly publicized in various forms of media, such as in the newspaper or on the city’s website.

The chief said this was the first complaint concerning the phony school program he knows of, but that telephone-based scams are pretty common. Many claim that a person has won money, but require a small payment upfront before the cash is released.

Another common hustle, often accomplished by email and targeted at the elderly, is when a person claims they are a loved one in trouble and in need of financial assistance, said Sgt. Laura Price with the Island County Sheriff’s Office, South Precinct.

“It goes something like, ‘Hi grandma, I’m in jail and need bail money,’” Price said.

Whatever the scenario, residents should be extra cautious whenever

an unknown person requests money, according to Price. Never agree to give cash without first doing a bit of research. Ask for a contact number, a website or business address, then follow up with a bit of investigation. Swap did the right thing by calling police to verify the call before agreeing to send any cash, she said.

As a general rule, people should never give out personal information, especially over the phone because it’s a tool “legitimate organizations” seldom use for solicitation purposes.

“Personally, I would steer clear of the phone,” Price said.

Swap said he came forward in hopes of warning South Whidbey residents of the scammers. They sound nice and propose a worthy cause, but people should not be fooled, he said.

“I just don’t want to see people get taken, especially for something so convincing. ... These guys are just crooks,” he said.

Deep Sea owner lands in hot water with fines, charges

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record The Department of Ecology levied a $301,000 fine against the man whose crab boat caught fire and sank in Penn Cove in 2012, causing an oil spill that temporarily shut down nearby Penn Cove Shellfish.

It’s just the latest bad news for Rory Westmoreland, a 51-year-old scrap-metal dealer with a history of running afoul of environmental rules, according to the state agency.

Westmoreland is facing a misdemeanor charge in Island County District Court for allegedly abandoning the 128-foot Deep Sea crab boat.

And on Friday, he pleaded not guilty in King County Superior Court to charges by the Attorney General’s Office that he abandoned about 40 barrels of hazardous waste in property from which he was evicted in 2012, the Attorney General’s Office reported.

The state charged Rory Westmoreland with one count of violating the hazardous waste management act, a felony, and another grossmisdemeanor count of unlawful dumping of solid waste without a permit.

Dick Walker, a member of the spills response team, characterized the $301,000 fine as “very large for the Department of Ecology.” He said Westmoreland was fined

for three reasons: for failing to report an oil spill, for failing to clean up an oil spill and for the oil spill itself.

The fire response, oil spill response, and the salvage of the boat from the floor of Penn Cove were performed by a team of public agencies, as well as the Coast Guard.

State agencies, including the Department of Ecology and the Department of Natural Resources, spent more than $2.8 million on the incident.

Walker said the Department of Ecology recovered $1.56 million in spill response expenses from the National Pollution Fund Center; he said the federal government is going to go after Westmoreland to recoup

the money.

On the night of May 12, 2012, the Deep Sea caught fire — in what was later determined to be an arson — while illegally anchored on stateowned aquatic lands, according to the Department of Ecology. Westmoreland had the boat towed to Penn Cove in December 2011; Walker said Westmoreland wouldn’t say what his plans were for the boat, though officials suspect that he planned to scrap it.

Firefighters attacked the fire that night and the next day, but it rolled on its port side and sank on the evening of May 13.

Overtime goal sends South Whidbey soccer to next round of playoffs Despite a near 60-minute lull in regulation play, the South Whidbey boys soccer team scored when it mattered in a 2-1 overtime win at Meridian.

The Falcons needed an 83rd minute goal from junior striker Kai da Rosa to secure a spot in next week’s 1A tri-district tournament. Which seed South Whidbey ends up with remained to be determined based on results from a match against the District 1 top-seeded Mount Baker squad (6-10-1 overall) on Friday, after The Record went to press.

“It was nice to get past that,” said Falcon co-head coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins. “I hate that first game — loser out — so much pressure.”

Despite having a better record, South Whidbey had to travel to Meridian (4-13-0 overall) on May 7.

For the first 10 minutes, Robbins said the Falcons looked like they would cruise through the match as they took a 1-0 lead on a goal by junior Andy Zisette off a deflected shot.

Meridian answered with a goal near the end of the first half to tie the game.

Out of the halftime break, South Whidbey continued to have problems passing and moving the “It was nice to get past ball upfield to its that. I hate that first forward and outside midfielders. Robbins game. Loser out, so said the Trojans much pressure.” appeared to have his team scouted out, Emerson “Skip” Robbins, coach and were always South Whidbey boys soccer aware of where da Rosa was on the field.

“They had Kai wrapped up tight,” Robbins said.

“Sometimes they had three guys on him. And we still tried to send the ball centrally too much.”

Eventually, that play worked, albeit in the sudden death, five-minute overtime when da Rosa knocked in a deflection for the game-ending goal.

“Kai’s in the mix always,” Robbins said. “He doesn’t give up.”

South Whidbey’s simplest path to the state tournament hinged on beating Mount Baker and winning the first-place match on Saturday. Out of the tri-district tournament featuring 10 teams, the top six qualify for the 1A state tournament, and the topseeded team from District 1 only plays one match May 17 in the tri-district championship game.

Ex-college coach takes over Falcon football

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Chris Tormey has a lot of name recognition around Western Washington.

That’s what happens when you’re part of the 1991 Division I national championship University of Washington football team, for which Tormey was an assistant coach under legendary Huskies coach Don James.

The bright lights, million dollar stadiums, blue chip recruiting and teams of more than a hundred top athletes are all over for Tormey.

Now, Tormey is in charge of the South Whidbey Falcons, a program that has less than 100 players between its varsity and junior varsity teams. Despite the major change from the limelight of college sports to the spotty lighting at Waterman’s Field, Tormey said South Whidbey is the right place for him.

“I think it’s a great match for me,” he said. “I’ll be a little bit out of my comfort zone the next couple of weeks.”

For the past three decades, Tormey has coached Division I college football teams like Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Hawaii, Washington State and Wyoming.

He describes his professional coaching odyssey in an understated manner.

“I’ve had a few jobs over the last 35 years,” he said.

His last job was at Wyoming, where he was the defensive coordinator until the end of the 2013 season. Since then, his wife took a job with the Oak Harbor School District and they moved to Coupeville. For years, Tormey said, they wanted to make Whidbey Island their home.

Tormey is one of the first out-of-district football hires in decades. Previously, the head coaching job was split between Andy Davis and Mark Hodson, both teachers at South Whidbey High School, who decided to step down to spend more time with their families after a dozen of years calling plays. Legendary

Ben Watanabe / The Record

Chris Tormey, a Division I college football coach for 35 years, takes over the South Whidbey Falcon football team as its head coach.

South Whidbey coach Jim Leierer still visits the team during its early fall practices and continues his tradition of taking a picture of each player so he can pray for them.

South Whidbey is also a football program built on traditions: rows of players walking out hand-in-hand past the grandstand onto Waterman’s Field, the singing of the fight song after each game — win or lose — to the fans, and “ohana,” Hawaiian for family, and a term that’s been used to rally teams for all of Davis and Hodson’s tenure.

Even though he’s the new kid on the block, Tormey said he doesn’t have plans to do away with any traditions and that he respects that they are the foundation which many teams are built upon.

“I’m open to whatever works best in terms of helping our guys become the best they can be,” Tormey said.

His first official act as the head coach

Cedarcrest claims UBGCC golf meet South Whidbey had one of its better performances on the course at Useless Bay Golf & Country Club,

will be a meeting after school for all interested football players Monday, May 12. Hiring the rest of the coaching staff will follow, and Tormey said he wanted to meet with anybody interested in coaching the Falcons. One of the big changes he expects is the transition from coaches focusing on a single aspect — defense, special teams, linebackers — to being in charge of every player.

“As a head coach at a high school, you have to wear every hat,” he said.

South Whidbey’s school board directors will make the hiring official at its next business meeting when they approve the May personnel report.

But since South Whidbey High School Athletic Director Kelly Kirk received what he called a surprise email and phone call from Tormey last week, the job vacancy has basically been filled, and the coaching contract was signed May 9.

but Cedarcrest still took the three-way league meet Thursday.

Cedarcrest’s boys golfers scored a meet-low 214 strokes through nine holes, par 35. South Whidbey finished in second place with 251, led by Anton Klein’s 44 strokes. Sultan placed third with 258 strokes.

South Whidbey’s golfers were aided by 49 strokes from Ian Saunsaucie, 51 by Jon Rasmussen, 53 by Austin Drake, 54 by Thorn Helmerson.

Klein and Cedarcrest’s Luke Stupfel tied for third place overall with 44 strokes. naltraining.net www.onetooneperso

Simply perfect Pair of pitchers combine for flawless game

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Tom Fallon would have struggled to script a better start to the South Whidbey baseball team’s postseason than the five-inning, 10-0 win over Blaine on Tuesday.

The Falcons made quick work in dispatching the Borderites to the consolation bracket in the 1A District 1 tournament. Games last seven innings, but a 10-run mercy rule ended the bout early thanks to stellar pitching from senior Colton Sterba and junior Charlie Patterson. The pitching duo combined for a perfect game — no hits, no walks, no errors and no runs scored — with Sterba striking out four batters in three innings and Patterson fanning two.

Having thrown less than 50 pitches, Fallon thought both

Sterba and Patterson should have plenty of arm strength and rest to throw the rest of the district playoffs.

Sterba was calm and collected after he accomplished a major feat in the baseball world and ended his high school playing career at South Whidbey High School’s baseball field.

“We kind of expected that we would win this game, but we didn’t expect it would be so crisp and clean,” he said.

“That was good.”

“Once I had confidence in my defense, I was able to throw it over the plate, no worries,” he added.

That steely demeanor worked for him on the pitching mound. From the onset, Sterba’s control was on point, or as he described it, “throwing strikes.” He got one strikeout in the first inning, which also saw South Whidbey take the lead it would not relinquish.

Ricky Muzzy, a sophomore, knocked a double into the outfield to lead off

the game. Sterba brought him home on a RBI single up the middle of the infield.

That was all the scoring they needed, though more followed.

After a quick 1-2-3 top of the second inning, including a pair of strikeouts for Sterba, the Falcons tacked on four more runs. The scoring rally happened with two outs and loaded bases. Sterba drilled a line drive to deep left-center field that scored two runs.

Brent Piehler followed with a two-run shot to shallow right field.

South Whidbey’s no-hitter seemed to be at risk in the third inning. Blaine sophomore Jared Vogee ripped a shot to right-center field, but Falcon senior Jake Sladky ran it down for the out.

By the fourth inning, South Whidbey held a 6-0 lead and was four runs and a few outs from finishing the playoff game early. The Falcons started with a pair of pop flies by Piehler and senior Nick Bennett. Kings

Mo Hamsa, a junior, lunges for home plate in the third inning against Blaine on May 6 in the first round of the 1A District 1 baseball tournament. of the two-out rally this season, the Falcons found their spots against Borderite pitcher Myles Peltier. An earlier error on a fly ball hit by Sterba had put a runner on first base, and a passed ball moved him to second. Mo Hamsa knocked a single that brought in Sterba. A fielder’s choice by Sladky let both runners reach base safely.

CJ Sutfin, a senior, pulled a single past the third base-

man to bring in Hamsa and load the bases.

Blaine made a pitching change and put Vogee on the mound. He hit Falcon junior Trent Fallon, scoring a run. Muzzy pulled a two RBI single by the drawn-in third baseman to put South Whidbey ahead 10-0.

“It’s more about the energy of the team and the way things are going,” Muzzy said. “[Assistant coach Bill]

Patterson calls it fast-break offense.”

In the fifth inning, Charlie Patterson closed the door on the Borderites with a strikeout, a fly out, and a ground out.

South Whidbey was scheduled to play Friday Harbor at Meridian High School on Thursday, but the game was rained out and rescheduled for Friday, after The Record went to press.

Celebrating

Mothers

Two centenarians recall the wonders of motherhood

By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record

W

hen it comes to motherhood, both Eileen Wilson and Alta Brodie of Freeland consider themselves grateful to have been blessed with loving children and families.

At 102, both women now have three generations under them and have witnessed the lasting impact of a mother’s love on her children.

Passing on the music

Eileen Wilson had her first child, Pat, in 1940 after

waiting seven years with her husband Edgar. They were living in Oak Harbor at the time while Edgar worked as a mechanic at the military base. Wilson remembers her husband wanted a girl and was delighted to find out Pat’s gender.

Wilson remembers chuckling at her husband’s wish and telling him, “You want a girl? It’s just like reaching in a grab bag — you take what you get.”

An only child, Wilson found herself passing on her love to another only child, and Pat was a happy baby, she recalled.

Later, Wilson took in a foster daughter, Delores,

who had raised herself until the age of 12 in a bad home, Wilson said.

“It wasn’t always easy, but I had a good caseworker and she helped me out,” Wilson recalled.

Both daughters are now retired and have children of their own. Wilson has two grandsons and six greatgrandsons.

Wilson was a church pianist for 20 years, often accompanying people and teaching her own lessons.

She tried to pass that knowledge on to Pat at a young age, but the interest wasn’t there.

“I didn’t want to force her,” Wilson said.

Marilyn Lueken and her son Daniel, 5, visit Lueken’s mother Alta Brodie nearly every day at her Freeland residence.

When she reached high school age, Pat wanted to play the trumpet and started taking private lessons to play in the school band.

Unsure how long her daughter would continue her lessons, Wilson made sure the trumpet she bought was affordable. But Pat stuck with it and Wilson didn’t have to push her daughter to practice.

Pat continued to play the trumpet for a number of years. Pat’s sons and grandsons — Wilson’s greatgrandsons — used the trumpet as well.

“That trumpet earned its money,” Wilson remarked.

She’s watched her daughter, Pat Rothwell, raise her own children and every once in a while sees traits of herself and Edgar in her.

“She’s stubborn just like her father and mother,” Wilson said. “But she’s a very good daughter.”

Wilson has enjoyed becoming a grandmother and great-grandmother, saying “The boys are very good to me.”

She also feels fortunate to have great children who have stayed out of trouble.

“All you can do is talk to them and guide them. That’s about all,” Wilson said.

“They can take your advice or not.”

Teaching lifelong skills

Alta Brodie had five children with her husband Alexander. Brodie was born in Everett and spent most of her life living in Marysville before moving to Freeland earlier this year. Her middle

daughter, Marilyn Lueken, who has been on the island for 14 years, describes her mother as active while she was growing up.

Brodie led a 4-H group, gardened, canned and frequently participated in neighborhood activities.

“She was a hands-on mother,” Lueken said.

One of the distinct memories Lueken still has is working in the family garden.

“We needed them to garden and they needed to work,” Brodie said of her children.

Brodie taught all of her children how to garden, a skill they still use today.

“None of us appreciated gardening at the time, but all of us children have had a garden as adults,” Lueken said. “It’s a lasting skill.”

Lueken said she hopes to teach her son Daniel, 5, how to garden. Brodie said she still likes the time outside and is proud to see her children carry on the gardening tradition.

Brodie now has 10 grandchildren and eight greatgrandchildren and enjoys frequent guests at her home in Maple Ridge. It’s a testament to her emphasis on spending time with her family. Brodie and her husband spent many vacations camping with their family around the state’s beaches.

“I wanted to do things together,” she said.

Lueken remembered one trip in particular where Brodie took her entire 4-H group for a day trip to Seattle. The family only had a truck for transportation, so they built walls and a roof

“We all piled into the truck,” Lueken remembers.

“What an adventure.”

Both Lueken and Brodie had a hard time remembering exactly what activities took place, but that didn’t bother Brodie.

“We had a good time and that’s what’s important,” she said.

Lueken still visits her mother on a daily basis, with her son Daniel carrying out one of the most important lessons she remembers from her mom — to love each other.

the other.

“I think she’s equally qualified,” Callison said of Black. “She’s personable, intelligent.”

At the top of their joint and individual hope for Langley is the need to foster growth in its residential population and business district while carefully guarding its “smalltown atmosphere.”

“It’s a tightrope walk,” Black said. “You want the town to grow without losing its quaintness.”

They’re a couple who mainly work from home — the very type of “knowledge worker” Mayor Fred McCarthy is hoping to draw more of into the city. Both Black and Callison said their business experience and personal characteristics would add a different and helpful voice to the council. Black described herself as an “activator” who takes a plan and sees it through, while Callison called himself a “creator” who crafts an idea.

They’re also a couple that enjoys the perks of living in Langley. They enjoy walking into town to see a movie at the Clyde Theatre, to have dinner at Village Pizzeria or a drink at Mo’s Pub & Eatery, just down the hill from their Second Street home that will be featured in the upcoming Whidbey Island Garden Tour.

They say it’s hard to imagine the vetting process of a city council appointment creating a wedge between them. They often work from home together — successfully — and then there’s a wedding vow they uphold each and every day to share a dance. Thursday was no exception, as just prior to their interview with The Record, they fulfilled that promise to the tune of old jazz and blues, which was

still playing from a speaker in their living room.

One of their hopes, if either is appointed, is to see a city parking plan in the summer months. As residents close to downtown, they said they know parking space becomes a premium, and hoped to see an expanded shuttle/cart service to the Catholic church.

“We want to drive traffic and people here, but not crowds,” Black said Bringing people to the city for its views and cultural events like Choochokam and DjangoFest Northwest creates experiences, Black said, and that will bring people back.

Neither have previously run for a publicly elected position. Each said that if appointed, they would run for the city council seat in the upcoming election and the other would not enter the race.

Though the pending appointment process will be sure to have an air of contention for the husband and wife, win or lose, they will remain committed to the city and each other.

“I’m very competitive, but I’m fiercely competitive of my husband too,” Black said.

CANCER

This is a good week to recover some self-esteem. A situation puts you in the spotlight and provides you with the tools to develop some new objectives.

LEO

If you’re thinking about moving, you start taking some steps in order to get a head start. Or, instead, you might begin making plans to renovate your home.

VIRGO

Traffic is problematic and communicating seems complicated. Try to find alternative routes to get to your destinations, and recharge your telephone before leaving home.

LIBRA

You should finally get the green light to embark on a project or a training course. The financing will materialize, and you will be closer to securing a comfortable retirement for yourself.

SCORPIO

You may decide to conquer the world in some way! You’re determined to advance your cause and improve your fate. This is a new departure for you.

SAGITTARIUS

Patience is necessary. You have the impression that you’re just marking time and are always having to wait for others. Make some time for yourself; a step backwards is sometimes necessary in order to advance.

CAPRICORN

At work, you are responsible for an important meeting or an event that brings together the entire company. Expect to work for a large and enriching client base.

AQUARIUS

One of your projects requires particular attention. Delays are possible all around — you’re put on hold when making calls and you seem to choose the wrong lineup as well.

PISCES

The summer vacation will soon be here and you should already be planning what you want to do in order to secure availability. Make reservations now for day camp for your children.

VAUGHAN CONTINUED FROM A1

to choose a replacement from a list of three put forward by the Island County Republican party. If they can’t agree, the governor gets to decide.

Contributed photo

Camano Island resident and Republican Aubrey Vaughan, a member of the Island County Law and Justice Council, announced this week that he is throwing his hat in the metaphorical ring.

Vaughan said he hopes to be a strong advocate for

Camano Island, which he feels is underrepresented

in county government; his district also covers North

Whidbey.

And he wants adequate funding for law enforcement.

Vaughan said he’s been active on the Law and Justice Council, even though it’s a 120-mile roundtrip for him.

“I’ve been very vocal on the council,” he said. “I ask the tough questions.”

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown, who co-chairs the council, said he was impressed with Vaughan.

“He’s a very thoughtful, insightful citizen who has volunteered to step up to the plate,” he said. “I think he’s done well in representing District 3.”

Vaughan was in favor of the proposed law-and-jus-

tice levy, though it never made it to the ballot; the commissioners were able to backfill much of the cuts to the sheriff’s and other offices that were made during the recession.

He said he believes that the property tax levy may still be necessary someday, though he hopes a stable funding source can be found without raising taxes.

He said it’s important that the county is as efficient as possible in delivering services, and he places a high priority on ensuring that the county is an affordable place to live.

Vaughan and his wife, Ellen, moved to Washington to be closer to their son, who worked at Microsoft.

They drove from Corpus Christi, where he worked as a supervisor for L-3 Aerospace at the Army Depot, in a fifth wheel with five cats and a parrot.

After scouring the Puget Sound region, they fell in love with Camano Island and bought a house there three years ago.

At age 65, Vaughan has had a long and varied career. He was a “criminal investigator and peace officer” for the Nueces County Sheriff Office and the Texas Attorney General’s Office, he said. He worked for Halliburton in the oilfield services and eventually retired.
