Forks police nab alleged South Whidbey burglar
Arts board plans plaza party, future work By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record One of South Whidbey’s most wanted is in police custody this week. Christian Shorey, 34, was arrested in Forks on Sunday after allegedly burglarizing a bar. He was ar raigned Thursday in Clallam County Superior Court, and Shorey is facing charges of second-degree burglary and theft in the second degree — both felonies. He’s being held in the Clallam County Corrections Facility in Port Angeles on $10,000 bail. Shorey has been on the lam in Island County for months. He is a person of interest in the September armed robbery of Wells Fargo Bank in Clinton, and is also wanted on a $10,000 felony warrant for Burglary second degree and failure to appear in court. It’s unclear just when Shorey will make it back to Island County to face charges here, but Sheriff Mark Brown said he was confident it will happen at some point. “I can’t see that not happening,” Brown said. “The question is when.” “The good news is he’s in custody,” he added. Shorey was arrested Sunday morning in the Rain SEE SHOREY, A11

Democrat and Island County commissioner candidate Karla Jacks speaks a forum in Freeland Wednesday while Republican Rick Hannold listens.
Candidates vie for voter favor at Freeland election forum
By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record There was more than one surprise at Wednesday’s candidate forum in Freeland where both local and national issues were discussed by general election candidates. Island County commissioner candidate Rick Hannold told the audience that the threat of global warming is largely overstated. “I feel it’s just part of the natural course of things,” said Hannold, a Republican. “You can skew the facts either way depending on who’s paying for the study.”
No matter how you view climate change, said Hannold, the county leaders need to be good caretakers of environmental resources with balanced solutions that aren’t “at the expense of our businesses.” His Democratic opponent Karla Jacks disagreed stating that climate change is a real threat that needs to be mitigated. “We are experiencing global warming,” said Jacks. “I think we need to help promote protections of our cli-

Whidbey wineries gain top honors at Seattle Wine Awards
Whidbey couple celebrates 60 years of marriage this month
Langley’s Ott & Murphy Wines topped the list of Whidbey Island winners at the Seattle Wine Awards this month. Ott & Murphy took a total of eight awards, which included three of the coveted double gold awards for wines created from eastern Washington Rhone grapes. “Washington has an ideal climate for growing these grapes,” said Ott & Murphy manager Bob Thurmond. “We have the benefit of having the varietals, why wouldn’t we make really great wines?” The Seattle Wine Awards is the largest yearly evaluation of Washington state wines. A panel of local, national and international wine professionals gather in April to taste wines in a single-blind format in which grape variety or style is known, but not price or producer. Among the approximately 1,300 wine entries submitted to the prestigious Seattle Wine Awards, Ott & Murphy

standard-bearer for the exceptional wine grapes being grown in eastern Washington,” said managing winemaker David Ott. Ott & Murphy wines are created in small case runs, and include white and red Rhone style blends, as well as a variety of other whites and reds. Other winners included Whidbey Island Winery with four awards, Spoiled Dog Winery with two awards and Blooms Winery with one award. All four wineries are on South Whidbey. “People love them,” said Spoiled Dog Winery owner Karen Krug of her two award-winning wines. Spoiled Dog won gold for its 2012 Deception cabernet franc and merlot blend, and silver for its 2012 Malbec. Krug said that people “either love them or hate” about the malbec because of its smoky complexity. The Deception blend is a smooth, drinkable wine that “is both sweet but not sweet,” Krug said. Wines that earn recognition in the Seattle Wine Awards must achieve professional consensus in order to receive an award. These honors are of the highest recognition a winery can earn in the state of Washington. — Janis Reid, Staff reporter

Brenda and Don Wilkins on their wedding day, Oct. 16, 1954.
Brenda and Don Wilkins will be celebrating 60 years of matrimony on Oct. 16 at a family celebration in Seattle. Both Brenda and Don Wilkins are from London. After World War II, a mutual friend introduced them to each other and they were married one year later on Oct. 16, 1954; they immigrated to Canada the same day. After living in Toronto for several years, the couple relocated to San Francisco and later to Palo Alto, Calif., in the mid1960s where Don opened a hair salon and Brenda remained home with their children Kim and John. When not working and raising the family, the two made time for artistic pur-

Navy revising Environmental Impact Study to include more Growlers By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record The Navy says it is revising its Environmental Impact Statement on the EA-18G Growlers to include up to 36 additional aircraft based at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Public meetings to gather public comment will be held in late October. The additional scoping period, which is Oct. 10 through Nov. 24, will push the completion of the draft EIS to spring 2016 with a published decision planned for spring 2017. A draft EIS was originally slated to be released next year with a 2016 decision. The Navy announced in July plans to consider larger Growler squadrons including scenarios that would increase the fiveaircraft carrier Electronic Attack Squadrons to seven or eight. The EIS is looking at Growler operations at both Ault Field at NAS Whidbey and Outlying Field Coupeville. Aside from the “no action” option, the four other alternatives would increase the Navy’s total number of Growlers by anywhere from 13 to 36. The Navy requested funding for 22 additional Growlers earlier this year. That request was placed on hold pending the results of the EIS.
Be heard on Growler noise Public hearings on the Navy’s revised EIS are 4-8 p.m. at the following locations: • Tuesday, Oct. 28, Coupeville High School, 501 S. Main St. • Wednesday, Oct. 29, Oak Harbor Elks Lodge, 155 N.E. Ernst St. • Thursday, Oct. 30, Anacortes High School Cafeteria, 1600 20th St. More information and the revised proposed action can be found at whidbeyeis. com. “While it is unclear whether more Growlers will ultimately be procured, the Navy is electing to analyze the potential for these aircraft in order to be proactive and transparent,” according to a Navy Fleet Forces Command press release. Ted Brown, the Navy’s Installations and Environmental public affairs officer, said that the Navy is simply ensuring that the environmental
impact of the additional Growlers, if approved, is considered. “No decisions have been made, but that is one of the alternatives,” Brown said. “Much of this depends on how many, if any, are funded by Congress.” “But it makes sense for us to analyze the impacts of those options.” During a recent interview with the Whidbey NewsGroup, Congressman Rick Larsen said that, while the Navy will likely be approved for additional Growlers, “the number is going to be somewhere between zero and 22.” It was unlikely that all 22 would be approved, Larsen said. The original scoping examined the impact of two additional expeditionary Growler squadrons and three additional aircraft to the training squadron at NAS Whidbey. In addition to the new squadron alternatives, the Navy also included a section in the presentation documents on the Navy’s requirement to consider its effect on historic properties under Section 106.

earlier this year demanding that an EIS be completed. “One of the things that is the most disturbing things to us is again the absolute disregard of the Navy for the enormity of the impact and their disregard of Camano, Port Townsend, the San Juans,” said the group’s president, Michael Monson. “They really should be having scoping meetings there as well.”

Last September, the Navy began an EIS to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the addition of two new expeditionary squadrons and additional aircraft to the training squadron. Scoping was conducted between September 2013 and January 2014 on that proposed action, and open house scoping meetings were held in December 2013 to discuss the proposal.

OLF Coupeville, where many of the Growler pilot touch-and-go trainings take place, lies within the borders of Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve. A state agency determined earlier this year that more than 1,000 cement blocks placed around OLF had no adverse affect, but then reversed its decision following public outcry. Since that time the Navy has worked closely with the state’s historic preservation officer to mitigate concerns within the reserve. Kendall Campbell, archaeologist and cultural resources program manager for NAS Whidbey Island, said that a Section 106 requirement has always been part of this EIS under cultural considerations of the study. Campbell said, however, that community concerns about the cement blocks

FIRE/EMS Goss Lake gets water hydrant The Goss Lake Park Community Association is celebrating the addition of a new fire hydrant. King Water Company installed it Friday, Oct. 3, on the corner of Pintail Road and Huckleberry Lane, according to Ann Swenson, a neighborhood resident. “I am so grateful for this hydrant, for the time it will save the fire department… ,” she wrote, in an email to The Record. In June, South Whidbey Fire/EMS fought a fire in the community.
Firefighters hauled 28,000 gallons of water from a Freeland station, but despite a good effort the building was still lost, Swenson wrote. A new hydrant might make future efforts easier and quicker, which is not only news worthy, but a comfort as well, she added.
LANGLEY City prepares for legal battles Langley is considering increasing its legal fees budget for 2015. Mayor Fred McCarthy presented a draft budget for next year and noted

several changes, including a major decrease overall — revenues and expenditures — because the city will not undertake any major capital projects such as the Second Street redesign that began in January and ended in June this year. The 2015 budget also includes a $15,000 increase in its legal fees in anticipation of litigation over the firing of a former Langley Police Department officer and a sewer dispute at a home off of Fourth Street. In all, $50,000 is penciled in for legal fees. A 2 percent cost of living adjustment and a 1 percent merit raise were also included in the mayor’s draft budget. In all, the increase would amount to less than $22,500. McCarthy reinstated the city’s offer to cash out unpaid sick leave for retiring employees. “It’s an incentive for people who have really good attendance,” he said
at Monday’s city council meeting. Other highlights from the mayor’s draft include buying a new police car, a $5,000 phone system for city hall, work on the Langley Chamber of Commerce/visitor center bathrooms, a grant writing contract, and historic preservation plaques.

Demolition, renovation equal options at Dog House START HERE
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Renovating the Dog House Tavern is a possibility, and so is demolition for the owners of Langley’s historic building. Owner Charlie Kleiner said he will speak with city officials next week to discuss possibilities for the Dog House. The closed door faceto-face will come on the heels of the first reading by the city council of Langley’s new standards for the demolition of a building on or eligible for the National Historic Register or Washington register. The rules were submitted by Jeff Arango, the city’s director of Community Planning, after months of work on Oct. 6, which is ahead of the November deadline attached to an emergency demolition moratorium adopted by the council this past May. “We’re willing, as before, to renovate the building,” Kleiner said in a phone interview with The Record Thursday. He and wife Janice Kleiner live in Issaquah, and purchased the landmark building years ago with plans to turn it into a mixed-use structure. “If the building isn’t savable, we’re going to have to come up with some other plan … I can’t take demolition off the table. Pretty soon, it’s going to demolition [demolish] itself.” Originally, they looked at renovation and restoration, but felt like the city wasn’t cooperating. It sparked an inquiry by the couple about demolition, and city officials responded with the moratorium.
Ben Watanabe / The Record
The Dog House Tavern’s street-facing windows are adorned for the fall season, but is otherwise empty. Its owners have resumed talks with the city. Relations deteriorated between the owners and City Hall after the Kleiners withdrew their request for a street vacation — a bid asking the city to forfeit a publicly owned right-of-way. They wanted land next to the Dog House to make their property line straight and remove the burden of having an easement under the exterior stairs and deck on the structure’s western exterior. Tangling the issue further is that the hilly area is a public access to the shoreline which is more strictly regulated as to how it can be developed and altered. Langley, as a municipality, is not allowed to give away public land without fair compensation, which could either be monetary or in a land swap, such as one proposed by Langley. City officials agreed to give up the easement under the stairs for equal property on the waterside of the building next to Seawall Park. The Kleiners refused, believing it was an
unequal trade. “We still have a disagreement over that,” said McCarthy, referring to the Kleiners’ original request for city property. In the months since the Kleiners asked the city about the demolition process in April, McCarthy has played peacemaker. He reached out to the Kleiners with a greeting card that had a drawing of the Dog House, letting them know the city was greatly interested in seeing restoration or preservation of its well-photographed facade. “The attitude is much more positive on both sides,” McCarthy said. On the Kleiners’ side, frustration still exists. Charlie Kleiner said he remains in the dark about what the city wants them to do with the building or how they could incorporate its features into new construction. Places like Banff, Alberta, have a clear look, he said, which Langley lacked. “They don’t have a theme,”
Kleiner said. Part of the demolition moratorium was designed to address just that lack of specificity. New rules keep Langley’s 30-foot plot look, even if several properties were bought and rebuilt into one structure, the First Street and waterfront facades would be staggered to look like several separate spaces. Some of the major provisions in Langley’s new demolition code also address how demolition permits would be approved. The ordinance prohibits various methods of “demolition by neglect,” requiring owners to engage in regular upkeep and maintenance to prevent the building from falling into disrepair, thus qualifying for demolition. McCarthy acknowledged some issues with the Dog House Tavern building exist. “If you look at it, you can see the roof goes up and down,” said McCarthy, though he added that he was unwilling to agree with Kleiner’s assessment that it’s “ready to fall over.” Kleiner said he and his
wife still want to move forward with some kind of development of that building and property. If nothing can be done, however, he said that they are considering something else in Coupeville.
“I hope that our future is Langley,” he said. “I’d just like to find out sooner than later if we’re going to realize that goal in Langley or move over to Coupeville.”

This week, the Langley City Council decided to risk a bit of color by agreeing to fund the temporary placement of public art on Second Street. They were right to do so. Many cringe at the very thought of tax dollars being spent on the superfluous, but cultural expression through public art has been a mainstay of civilization for thousands of years, and the cost, in this case, is hardly excessive. Imagine how much dimmer the world would be today had the Greeks and later Romans decided that such extravagance was unworthy of public investment, or if Michelangelo’s frescos didn’t decorate the Sistine Chapel, or more recently that the United States turned away France’s gift of the Statue of Liberty, which is perhaps one of the grandest displays of art in the world today and is renowned the world over as a symbol of freedom and liberty. For that matter, there are masters right here on South Whidbey who have left an indelible mark on Washington: what would Pike Street be without Rachel, the bronze pig created by Clinton’s Georgia Gerber? It’s one of the signature features of a market that has put Seattle on the map. Of course public art isn’t perfect, and the selection of it can be a tiresome and occasionally controversial headache. The difficulty lies in subjectivity; what appeals to one may simply be an eyesore to another. The solution is to make the process public, and that’s just what the city did. The Langley Arts Commission called for submissions, reviewed those that came in and forwarded its recommendation to the city council. Those decision makers then endorsed the suggestion of that citizen group, successfully divorcing themselves from the selection and acting only as overseers. As public art projects go, this is also one of the more clever approaches. The two works to decorate Langley’s recently renovated Second Street are being essentially rented for a period of one year for $600 each. The city has the option to buy them later, but if it’s not a good fit they’ll be gone by this time next year. It’s a nifty way of addressing the prickly issue of subjectivity while also giving both emerging and established artists a chance to shine and represent their communities. Public art is a vehicle of expression and of a society’s time and role in history. It’s a worthy expense, especially for $1,200.

Editor, There’s something really amazing about the concern our county treasurer is suddenly having for taxpayers. This week citizens who use the DOXO online email platform received “courtesy” second-half tax payment reminders from “Maria Nuñez, CPA”, who just happens to be an incumbent who (surprise) is being challenged in a reelection bid next month. Who’s challenging Nuñez? None other than former chief deputy Wanda Grone, someone who has close knowledge of how things ran (or didn’t run) the past few years under Nuñez’s leadership. The fact that Ms. Nuñez is, all of a sudden, concerned that voters know their second-half taxes are due is strange because the past three years she’s been in office, no such notices were sent. And even more interesting, these notices show a favoritism for DOXO users, because mailed notices were not sent to the majority of voters who are not using DOXO. No doubt Ms. Nuñez is a good woman — a daughter, wife, and mother to two children. She’s just not the right person to continue as Island County treasurer. A lot has been said about her paid absences (time away which she defends as her right) but the fact is she has been away from the courthouse more than any other Island County elected official or department head during
her four-year term. This matter plus questionable decisions — on investments and staffing (such as the abrupt firing of deputy Grone when she threw her hat into the ring) — make it clear it’s time for her to step aside and let someone without all this baggage take over and run the department. Nuñez now claims she’s had a bad year and she promises to restructure her office and improve communications if reelected. This is too little, too late. Maria Nuñez has had four years to do a good job. With the election approaching, now is not the time to do it right in a second term. Island County deserves new leadership in this office. I urge voters, Republicans and Democrats alike, to join me in casting ballots for the most qualified candidate — Wanda Grone, CPA.

Drop the Langley Lift negativity Editor, The upgraded Port of
South Whidbey marina in Langley has been a slow, and well managed project. It’s incredible the many layers of local, state, and federal regulations there were to wade through on this waterfront project. The Port of South Whidbey did a great job with all that wading. Thanks. The discussions about a lift to move people up and down the bluff have brought out intensity, but not intensity regarding the needs of disabled folks. The need to move people up and down the hill isn’t because “people are too lazy to walk,” or just to help boaters and gear, it also is because we are a community of people of all abilities. All abilities should have decent, safe, independent access to public facilities, including public parks, beaches and marinas. A lift or funicular is the simplest solution to support independent public access for people of all abilities. There is no safe way for non-driving disabled people to get to the waterfront park and marina district without help from others. Independence is something most of us take for granted; we don’t have to

depend on anyone else for mobility. Many people with physical disabilities cannot ride in the Main Street golf cart because that golf cart is not American Disabilities Act, or ADA, accessible. My brother became a paraplegic at age 44. It has changed his life dramatically. His struggles for independent mobility have made me much more aware of how lacking Langley is in regard to ADA accessibility in buildings and for the waterfront. Whatever gets built will be a fantastic benefit for ADA accessibility. The need is real. Langley volunteers or public staff cannot bear the risk and burden of assisting people up and down Wharf Street — it is too steep. One tip of a wheelchair on the hillside could have devastating consequences to both pusher and rider. The design and details of the lift can be worked out. Let’s get it done in a positive way, and not be so negative in outcry. LEANNE FINLAY Freeland

Sheriff cans detective following sexual harassment charges MARK Deputy is also under investigation for assault
ethics, the conduct policy and the oath of office. He said the office has regular training about sexual harassment, which Nieder participated in as late as last March. “We hold our employees to the highest standard,” he said. Nieder was also investigated for allegedly assaulting a citizen while on duty this summer. The Skagit County Prosecutor’s Office has yet to make a charging decision in the case, Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said. Mauck said that the assault was in connection with a June 3 traffic stop. Nieder stopped a motorcyclist in Oak Harbor. Mauck said the motorcyclist was “mouthy” and Nieder allegedly pushed him off his motorcycle. The man complained to the sheriff’s office the next day. Another law enforcement officer at the scene largely corroborated the allega-
By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record The deputies’ guild is seeking arbitration on the Island County sheriff’s decision to fire a detective accused of sexual harassment. John Nieder, a 13-year veteran of the office, lost his job this summer after another employee in the office accused him of inappropriately touching her and making sexual and belittling comments, according to Undersheriff Kelly Mauck. “It was really a text book case of sexual harassment,” Mauck said. The administration has no tolerance for such discriminatory harassment, added Mauck, as it violates the department’s code of
tions, Mauck said. Nieder was placed on paid administrative leave the next day. In order to avoid a conflict of interest, Mauck asked the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office to investigate. Banks asked the Skagit County prosecutor to make a decision on whether to charge Nieder with fourth-degree assault. Mauck said an employee made the sexual harassment allegation against Nieder June 10. He asked the county’s human resources department to look into it; the investigation substantiated the allegations, Mauck said. Sheriff Mark Brown fired Nieder, effective July 21. The termination was based on the sexual harassment allegations. Nieder appealed to the sheriff; Brown denied the appeal. The guild advised the sheriff this week that it wanted arbitration for

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 11:50 a.m. — A caller on Highway 525 said Wells Fargo Bank in Clinton was being robbed. The caller was hiding, and said the robber had a camouflage jacket on. 5:05 p.m. — A caller on Cultus Bay Road reported finding a stolen vehicle involved in the bank robbery. 7:46 p.m. — A state trooper reported being in pursuit of a motorcycle on Surface Road and Highway 525.

Nieder, which is their right under their contract. Mauck explained that an independent arbitrator will decide whether to uphold the termination, modify the termination or reinstate Nieder. Nieder has one letter of reprimand in his file, but it wasn’t related to harassment, sexual or otherwise, according to the undersheriff. Mauck said there hasn’t yet been an internal investigation into the assault allegations. He said that won’t happen until after any criminal case is resolved. Mauck said the sexual harassment allegations are an isolated, albeit embarrassing, incident for the department. He said he and the sheriff take a hard line on the issue. “It is not pervasive in any shape or form in our department,” he said. “This is quite the exception.”

Tennis lineup shakeup reverses course against University Prep By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record With an eye on the district tournament starting in less than two weeks, South Whidbey boys tennis had a major shuffle of its lineup against University Prep on Tuesday. The change worked wonders as the Falcons reversed their earlier 2-3 loss in September with a 3-2 win Oct. 14 on their home court. All of South Whidbey’s match wins came from doubles, as the singles were swept in straight sets. Certainly the most exciting and perhaps the most surprising match came at second doubles. The pairing of South Whidbey junior Jacob Nelson and freshman Hank Papritz resulted in a tight 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 win over Prep’s Hyunane Kim and Griffin Voth, which handed South Whidbey the team victory. Playing together for the second time that week, Nelson and Papritz fought off Kim and Voth’s power as both players were able to largely avoid the net player with crosscourt strokes and lobs, forcing long rallies. Notably, the normal toptwo South Whidbey singles players, seniors Charley

Steady serves and aggressive net play pushed them ahead.

“It was a solid match for them,” Kramer said. “And it also gave us a glimpse of what we can work on if we decide to play them doubles at districts in a couple of weeks.” South Whidbey’s third doubles team of senior Trent Fallon and junior Elijah Mathew recovered from a first-set loss to beat Prep’s
third sets, winning 25-14 and 25-12. The Falcons held on in the fourth set, 25-21. Anne Madsen, a Falcon senior, chipped in 10 kills and 17 digs, followed by junior libero Sara Bryant’s 15 digs and five kills.

HOMELESS CONTINUED FROM A1
Island County, like many others, conducts an official annual count of homeless people each January — 119 this year. Individuals must consent to being counted, however, which means that the numbers gleaned from the annual count are comparatively low to the actual numbers, said Catherine Reid, Island County’s housing program coordinator. Veterans and those suffering from mental illness are somewhat more likely decline being counted, she added. “Veterans are pretty proud people, rightfully so, so they tend to stay away from our count,” said Reid. Reid noted that organizations such as food banks and shelters are able to offer a more accurate count of those without permanent shelter.
Fighting the cold With winter soon approaching, Thorslund and fellow South Whidbey Homeless Coalition members are determined to implement a temporary “hypothermia shelter” by December, which will be open to those in need during
nights where the temperature reaches below freezing. At a coalition meeting Monday, board members confirmed the shelter will be located at Langley Methodist Church and has been approved by city officials. According to Reid, a hypothermia shelter is Island County’s “greatest need” in assisting and protecting those without a home. Presently, the only shelter, temporary or otherwise, for the homeless on South Whidbey is a one-room apartment which is let out by a local church. In Oak Harbor, Marjie’s House, a transitional home for women and children, is often full. Although there are also shelters located in nearby towns such as Marysville, Everett and Mount Vernon, these are also often devoid of vacancies, especially during the winter. Residents of South Whidbey who are in need of housing are also often unwilling to leave the island they call home, said Thorslund. The Coalition has an even bigger project in the works and is attempting to secure a $200,000 farmhouse in Freeland which would provide a number of homeless people with their own private rooms and standard house-

hold amenities. The home will be known as a house of hospitality. Coyla Shepard, a Coalition board member, said at a meeting Monday that $33,000 was secured in pledged donations towards the purchase of the home, but in order to seal the deal, the coalition will need to come up with at least one quarter of the total as quickly as possible.
Places to go According to Thorslund, the “basic rent” for a South Whidbey unit is approximately $925 whereas the rent elsewhere in the county averages at about $850. For those struggling to make ends meet, the price can simply prove too much to bear. “We’ve got it going on

down here,” Thorslund said of South Whidbey. “We have such beauty and such amazing, creative people. Those are the people we are looking for [to help], the people that have a heart to help their neighbors.” She noted that there are several organizations that help homeless individuals with needs such as electric bills, food and clothing on the South end. Thorslund herself also volunteers with Good Cheer and assists with monthly meals at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland, where those in need are provided with food, blankets and hygiene bags. Thorslund said the issue that remains unresolved is that of shelter. The South Whidbey Homeless Coalition will hold its first major fund-

Freeland resident proves himself worthy of knighthood By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record When Nicholas Zefferys stepped to the front of the room to formally introduce himself at a recent Rotary of South Whidbey meeting, his acquaintances were unprepared for the tremendous series of events their “quiet,” and “unassuming” fellow member would unfurl. Zefferys, like many South Whidbey residents, first moved to the island in search of post-retirement respite from the bustle of King County; he shares a part-time home with his spouse, an author and fellow adventurer, Marlene Zefferys, near the shores of Mutiny Bay and is active in local non-profit organizations; and, every year, the couple leaves the chilly Puget Sound for someplace warmer. But Zefferys’ second home, and his life outside of Whidbey, is far from average. In Kuala Lumpur, where Zefferys has lived and worked for the past 24 years, he is a knight. King Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail, the 7th Raja of Perlis and 12th Yang di-Pertual Agong, bestowed the honor upon him at the recommendation of the former prime minister. According to Zefferys, he was the first “foreigner” to be knighted. “I was quite surprised, quite shocked actually,” said Zefferys, speaking via Skype from Kuala Lumpur, adding that when he first received the letter, written in a Malaysian language, he was in disbelief. In Malaysia, his title is Datuk. “I was blown away … He is very quiet, very pleasant. He doesn’t put himself forth as anything special at all,” said Karen Franklin, treasurer of the Rotary of South Whidbey, recalling the moment Zefferys presented his multitude of accomplishments. “He just mingles with everybody and is a really nice person. …You never would have known that he had had such a fantastic experience.” As a part of the Rotary Club induction process, each member must give a formal presentation to introduce themselves. Often these

Zefferys received his title Datuk, from the King of Malaysia, as others received their respective titles. presentations include a note of remarkable achievements. Franklin noted that she was not aware of any stories similar to Zefferys’ in Rotary of South Whidbey. “Although the focus of his talk was historical and geographical, what came across to me in his story is how very much we are all the same,” said Franklin in an email to The Record. “Kings, rulers of nations, so-called ‘important’ peoples and their subjects, we all have the same basic drives and desires; food and shelter, the technology to achieve them, but most of all the need for love and acceptance.” Initially, Zefferys had been sent to Malaysia to begin a new fiber-optic-based telephone company with a $1 billion dollar budget to be spent over five years. Due in large part to the success of his work, he was elected President of the American Malaysia Chamber of Commerce, becoming close with the prime minister at the time. A newly anointed knight, Zefferys, not one to shirk responsibilities, became

Zefferys explained that, at the beginning of his tenure
on this task force, the World Bank rated Malaysia as 26th on the list of several countries in terms of ease of transactions. By the end of five years, the task force had bumped the nation to number six. “We would have countries
from around the world come in and ask what we did [to improve] and I would explain to them how we approached things,” he said. Afterward, Zefferys was appointed to implement a new economic model and justice system for the country. These, too, proved hugely successful. “It was very ambitious, but very rewarding,” he said. “We effectively laid out the plans for the future of the country.” The former judicial system, he explained, was not working between a backlog of unresolved cases and a court system wanting for justice. “Justice was not being doled out,” he said. “The first thing [a country] has to have is law and order that people trust.” Through a series of interviews with legal professionals, the bar association and head of the judicial system and implementation of a new court system, Zefferys said he and his cohorts were able to make a notable difference. “Malaysia can really claim law and order now,” he said.
He explained that, as a part of the new economic model, a project which is still underway, the group addressed the issue of the previous 20 percent poverty rate, employing more effective hiring and training methods for the betterment of employees and businesses, raising the minimum wage, decreasing the amount of labor outsourcing and bettering the education system. The group will continue with this work until 2020. His career in communications and work in building a broad-world view began after his term in the Navy came to an end in the early 1960s. While many of his fellow sailors and officers re-enlisted for the Vietnam War, Zefferys headed to the library of the South Methodist University to request all of the books on Vietnam. To his surprise, there were none. Soon afterward he accepted work as a civilian contractor for the military, building tropospheric scatter communications systems for the United States military. It was there, in Thailand and Vietnam, that Zefferys said he realized the immense potential of South East Asia, and became determined to help the region’s citizens achieve it. “It was a most extraordinary, eye-opening learning experience,” he said. “I saw how the future [opportunity] for this part of the world is massive.” In addition to his work in Malaysia, he has served on the board of several companies and has assisted in government projects with Singapore, Philippines, Myanmar and others. Although Zefferys is “deeply entrenched” in Kuala Lumpur, he and his spouse will be permanently leaving their home in Malaysia for Whidbey in order to spend more time with their children and to tend to an ailing family member. Despite the difficulty of leaving, Zefferys said he is looking forward to spending more time with family and catching up on United States affairs. “[Nick’s] story fluoroscopes how very much we need each other,” said Franklin. “I left the meeting with renewed insight.”

from Langley in Saratoga Passage. “Sue’s work is a beautiful sculpture,” said Frank Rose, chairman of the arts commission and an artist. “Nice stone, nice work, and very pleasant to look at.” Lloyd Whannell’s “Sun Catcher” embodies its celestial namesake with a massive steel ring bringing form to its basalt central piece that looks like an inverted keyhole with dotted marks on its polished black surface to look like solar flares licking out into the darkness of space. “Lloyd’s is a thing you have to look at and everyone will appreciate in their own way,” Rose said. Each artist receives a
$600 stipend for displaying the work in Langley, which is covered from the Second Street redesign budget. Langley city leaders agreed to adopt a 2-percent-for-the-arts policy with its capital projects as a way of getting the city into an already existing culture of putting work on display around town. It’s an idea that, with the first two sculptures’ installation coming in a couple of weeks, has

strong support from the Langley Main Street Association and businesses. “I think it’s really a benefit, especially for the artists,” said Janet Ploof, president of the Langley Main Street Association. “Artists who do big things have a harder time displaying [works].” “It’s another thing that unifies the town,” she added. “You can walk around town going from art piece to art piece.” Other projects are in the works for the Langley Arts Commission. The group discussed at its Oct. 9 meeting finding a way to add more sculptures to the Langley Village area just off Second Street, but ran into insurance and easement issues, Rose said. Having been formed only earlier this year, the arts commission is defining its five-year plan. One of the top items is identifying other sites around the city for public art, for which Rose said the top location is Seawall Park. The group is also working on an inventory of currently existing public art and sculptures in Langley. “Ocean Waves” and “Sun Catcher” will be prominently displayed in the plaza on Second Street between Callahan’s Firehouse and the South Whidbey Commons.

SHOREY CONTINUED FROM A1
Forest Mobile Home Park near the south end of Forks. City police were investigating the burglary of the nearby Blakeslee’s Bar and Grill the evening before, and observed Shorey acting suspiciously at a trailer. Officers obtained a search warrant and found Shorey, $2,000 cash and alcohol from the bar inside, according to the Forks Forum. A second person may also have been involved in the crime, but the investigation remains ongoing. The suspects in the burglary allegedly attempted to disable security cameras at the bar, but failed and footage and shoe prints tied Shorey to the crime. In a South Whidbey Record story last week about the Clinton Wells Fargo bank robbery investigation, Brown said detectives had established three people of interest in the case but declined to release their identities for fear of driving them into hiding. Now that Shorey’s been
apprehended and is in police custody, Brown confirmed Thursday that Shorey was indeed one of three people of interest. At least four members of Shorey’s immediate family told detectives they believed it was his voice on a recording of a phony 9-1-1 call that preceded the bank heist. Police believe it was a diver-
sionary tactic to draw officers away from Clinton, giving the robber more time to hit the bank and make a getaway. Shorey’s father, Matt Shorey, said his son’s whereabouts have been unknown to the family for some time, and that he also was grateful the man is finally in police custody.

The Ecumenical Greening Congregations of South Whidbey are sponsoring a showing of the film, “Toxic Hot Seat,” which addresses the “ubiquitous presence” of chemical and flame retardants in furniture, carpets and the human body. The film will be shown from 1-3 p.m., Oct. 19 at the Clyde Theater in Langley. Fire departments are concerned with the presence of these toxic chemicals because of their outgas during fires, endangering firefighters. If the fumes of these chemicals are inhaled, they may be deadly. “Toxic Hot Seat” was produced under the auspices of the WA State Toxics Coalition and is a part of an ongoing statewide campaign to educate the public about the danger posed by
toxic chemicals used to produce fire retardants. The Washington State Toxics Coalition and a host of other environmentally-minded organizations such as the Environmental Priorities Coalition, has introduced and lobbied for new legislation that would ban the current chemicals and substitute these with suitable alternatives. The legislation was supported by firefighters and the Washington House of Representatives but failed to pass in the Senate in 2014. Chemical industry personnel lobbied heavily against the proposed change; the legislative fight will continue in 2015. Employees of the Washington Toxics Coalition and of the local fire district are expected to speak at the screening. NORA DURAND

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.

Petrish also supports a measure he calls “clawbacks,” which would force companies to repay tax incentives if they break promises to keep jobs within the state. Looking at the budget “piece by piece” is going to be the only way the state is going to be able to come up with funding for education, Hayes said.

Hayes said he is not a supporter of a state-wide minimum-wage increase to $15 because it would “create an even worse business environment for Washington State.” Petrish said he would support the $15 wage but would also support a law that would allow workers at large corporations to unionize and negotiate their own wages. “I am 100 percent in support of the worker,” Petrish said. Neither of the 10th
