one cookie at a time

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Santa and his fleet of elven workers would be mighty proud of Gerry Betz and Larry Lowary, the masterminds behind the popular Tree-Top Baking.

The baking duo, who only sell at the Bayview Farmers Market, treat the holidays like every other week during the market season.

Early mornings, late nights, long days, tired feet and aching backs are all part of the baking world for the bakers and business owners. Ahead of their final market day of the year, Dec. 20, their entire day was spent on a host of holiday treats: cookies, tortes, rolls, breads.

“Our day starts at 4 a.m. Friday and ends 3

p.m. Saturday,” Betz said.

“We don’t think Christmas is any harder than the rest of the year,” he added.

When they began the baking business out of their Clinton home eight years ago, they never imagined the full-scale production they have now. Their first market had 120 products.

When they set up at Bayview Farm & Garden for the final holiday market this year, they’ll have about 1,200.

“This was not intended,” Lowary said.

Perhaps not intended, but with plenty of intention, Tree-Top Baking has become a smash success at the market, and one of the lasting bakeries on South Whidbey. During a SEE COOKIES, A9

The leadership of Island Transit is going to be very different in the new year.

The majority of board members have been replaced and will be working with a new interim director.

The new group of leaders will also have a lot on their plate in the coming year as the agency struggles to rebuild its finances, bring back routes, negotiate to continue bus connector services to other counties and deal with the possible unionization of drivers and dispatchers.

Kenneth Graska, the interim director, attended his first board meeting Friday morning. He will replace Coupeville Councilman Bob Clay, who as chairman of the transit board has been the SEE TRANSIT, A5

Notable South Whidbey Elementary PTA raises over $400 with annual Holiday Market

Photo contributed by South Whidbey Elementary School PTA

Aurora O’Neill, age 3, and Kenzie Johnson, age 2, pose for a photo with a handmade rendition of Olaf from the Disney movie “Frozen.”

South Whidbey Elementary School’s Parent Teacher Association raised just over $400 during its second annual Holiday Market Dec. 13.

The bazaar-style market featured handmade local goods from 24 vendors,

most of whom reside on Whidbey.

According to PTA president Kymy Johnson, this year’s event featured everything from character hats to up-cycled furniture, driftwood decor, ornaments, photography and painting. The school’s

Winter Festival was also incorporated.

“We really wanted to focus on buying local, buying handmade, supporting community members,” Johnson said.

About 100 people came by to shop, she added, guessing that there likely

would have been more had there not been a heavily destructive storm the night prior.

The PTA will use the funds to sponsor things such as art supplies for the volunteer art docent program. Johnson explained that the school district no longer has a formal art program due to budget cuts. The PTA has established a program in which parents and volunteers like Johnson and others stop by classrooms twice a month or so to lead artistic activities.

The PTA also raises funds to help acquire buses for school field trips. Johnson said kids were once able to take public transit to places like the outdoor classroom on Maxwelton Road, but with Island Transit’s recent cuts, students must use school buses instead.

In addition, the PTA holds free family fun nights with movies and games and, whenever possible, provides grants for classrooms and teachers. The PTA has also purchased the script for the school’s annual musical.

Johnson said the musical is unique because, aside from its entertainment value, it also incorporates the school’s 7 Habits with lessons in subjects like anti-bullying.

Tree thinning important for forest health, logger says

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The crunch and crack of trees being felled and cleared echoed through the chilly, wet air of the Trillium Woods on Friday morning.

About 20 people donned boots to traipse through a section of the Freeland forest’s 654 acres as part of a tour to see how the Whidbey Camano Land Trust manages the land. Led by Mike Janicki, owner of Janicki Logging & Construction which was brought in to “thin” the woods, the visitors asked about the practice of selecting trees for thinning, reflected on the property’s history and pondered its future.

During the current operation, Janicki said they were working on 130 acres and would take about one-third of the trees in the area. Most of the trees were headed to pulp mills, as they were too young and small to be made into lumber. Forest health was at stake, said Janicki several times, pointing to different areas to highlight the good and bad.

The bad areas were dark, too dense, or not diverse enough in the type of tree growing. A single species, he said, could lead to an entire area being wiped out because of an insect infestation or disease.

In healthy areas, undergrowth existed, tree limbs grew down and critters could crawl because light was able to reach the ground.

“This is kinda like creating old growth as fast as we can,” Janicki said. “On its own, it would take 200, 300 years.

With help, it’ll be close to 100 years.”

Purchased four years ago through a massive community effort to save the property from development, the money was raised through a

“It’s a perfect example of partnering with the community,” said Ida Gianopulos, conservation associate with the land trust, who referred to parts of the forest as “unhealthy,” “stressed” and “way too dense.”

Some spots of the forest were planned to rot, in part at least. Janicki pointed to an alder that was growing with

three tops and said that they would chop off two of the tips and leave the remaining stumps to wither away. They will eventually turn into habitat for birds and other woodland creatures. An important distinction existed for Janicki, however, in that the more rare or even endangered species rely on older, larger trees.

birds that are at risk, we need big trees,” he said.

The large machines appeared nimble through the trees. A harvester sliced through stumps for a demonstration near the road, grabbed the felled tree,

stripped it of its limbs and branches, then cut it into manageable logs. Those were then picked up by a loader or forwarder to be sent to a pulp mill.

In five years, Trillium will again get a thinning, Janicki

said. The spacing was important to let the root structure get a firmer grip to withstand the Freeland area’s strong winter winds.

“These alders just cannot withstand the winters here,” he said.

SCHOOLS Directors stick with roles The South Whidbey School District board of directors voted last week to maintain their respective positions.

The annual organizational meeting took place last Wednesday at South Whidbey Elementary School. It was a chance for board members to vote on which of their colleagues would act as chairperson, vice chairboard auditor and legislative representative for the upcoming year.

The members voted unanimously that Linda Racicot shall remain chairwoman, Steve Scoles shall remain vice chairboard auditor and Rocco Gianni shall remain legislative representative, a position he took over upon former board member Fred O’Neal’s resignation this fall.

The two remaining positions, Washington Interscholastic Activities Association representative and policy representative, did not require a vote. Damian Greene elected to remain Washington Interscholastic Activities Association representative and the newest board member, Julie Hadden, elected to take on the role of policy representative.

FREELAND Former banker gets year in prison A former manager at the Freeland branch of Whidbey Island Bank who embezzled from a cash drawer was sentenced to prison Friday.

Shawna Brown pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of bank embezzlement for stealing $162,000 over a threeyear period.

A judge in U.S. District Court in Seattle sentenced Brown to a year and one day in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The extra day allows her to qualify for “good time,” which could cut 15 percent off her sentence.

The sentence is less than the 15 months recommended by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Brown was a customer service manager who supervised tellers at the branch. The U.S. Attorney’s sentencing memorandum describes the “lengthy scheme“ in which Brown thwarted the bank’s internal controls and created fake documents on a daily basis to avoid detection.

Brown stole cash from her cash drawer from 2010 until she was caught

in August of 2013.

The theft was discovered in August of 2013 when an injury forced Brown to miss work and other employees uncovered the scheme. She admitted to the crime in interviews with the FBI and the FDIC.

COUPEVILLE Navy buys 54 acres near OLF Last week the U.S. Navy paid the Town of Coupeville $800,000 for development rights on 54 acres of property near Outlying Field.

The deal, which was facilitated through the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, is one of three acquisitions completed with the Navy this year.

The Navy now holds restrictive easements, which halts further development, on seven properties around Outlying Field.

Pat Powell, executive director for the Land Trust, said her organization often works with other groups where there’s a property that meets the goals of all parties involved.

Two easements were first acquired on properties in Smith Prairie along Parker Road in 2006 and 2011.

And earlier this year, the Land Trust helped facilitate the purchase of restrictive easements on two properties just south of OLF. “We’ll continue to partner with them where it fits the Land Trust’s goals,” she said.

In the instance of the Town of Coupeville property, it is 54 acres that includes forest land on Keystone Hill. The prop-

erty has a deep aquifer that the town uses as the primary water source for its utility system because the location has better withdrawal and water quality than the town’s other wells.

“The details of the … restrictive easement allow for the continued use of the land for additional wells, and for future addition to the existing water treatment plant,” said Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard. “Restricting any further development preserves the forest, open space, water quality, aquifer recharge and wildlife habitat in this area.

“This preservation is consistent and very complementary to the town’s purpose for the land … the primary watershed for our water utility.”

Because the town first purchased the Keystone Hill property using a grant acquired to support the town’s utilities system, the $800,000 will go back into the town’s utilities fund, lowering the impact of a pending rate increase next year.

OAK HARBOR Accused robber facing 3 years An Oak Harbor man accused of committing a botched bank robbery Nov. 28 could face more than three years in prison, court documents indicate.

Prosecutors charged Joshua P. Freeman, 32, in Island County Superior Court Dec. 3 with firstdegree robbery.

If convicted of the charge, Freeman would face from 31 to 41 months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Freeman is being held in jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Freeman allegedly rode a bus to the bank, donned a mask made out of a shirt and walked across the street afterward where police found him rifling through the bag of money, according to the police report.

An employee at Whidbey Island Bank on Bayshore Drive called 9-1-1 at 10:30 a.m. to report that a masked man had walked into the bank with a bag and demanded money.

The robber, later identified as Freeman, walked quickly in with a mask on and told two tellers to give him hundreds, fifties and twenties; he didn’t display a weapon and none was found on him, the police report states.

Freeman allegedly left the bank with $5,900 in his bag, saying he was sorry on the way out.

The first officer to arrive saw Freeman walking east along Highway 20 and go behind a condominium complex before crossing the street to kneel next to a pillar near the former Whidberry business, the report states.

The officer asked one of the victims to come out of the bank and look across the street at Freeman. The woman identified him as the suspected robber, the report states.

Freeman was still kneeling behind the pillar, digging into the backpack when the two officers walked up to him.

Freeman allegedly admitted to robbing the bank, the report states.

Freeman said he and his girlfriend were sick from heroin withdrawal.

He said he couldn’t take it anymore and decided to rob a bank, explaining that it was something he had thought about doing before, the report states.

“Freeman states he was going to use the money to get well by buying heroin,” the report says.

“Freeman states he had been going through withdrawal for the last two days.”

Safeway sold, will become Haggen Oak Harbor’s Safeway store will become a Haggen store as part of a larger deal involving 168 grocery stores across eight states.

The nearby Albertson’s store in Oak Harbor will likely remain unchanged, according to a spokesman for the company.

Haggen announced Friday that all Safeway employees will have the opportunity to work for the Haggen store once the transition is complete.

The purchase is subject to approval by the Federal Trade Commission.

Albertson’s LLC is currently in the process of acquiring Safeway through a merger. As part of a divestment process, the 168 Safeway and Albertson’s stores have been sold to four buyers.

Haggen, a Bellinghambased company, is purchasing 146 Albertson’s and Safeway stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley said he welcomes Haggen, but he — like many people — is concerned about the fate of the Albertson’s.

“We as a society like competition,” he said.

“Why? Because it usually means better prices.”

Haggen is purchasing the Oak Harbor Safeway, but the Albertson’s isn’t on the list. Brian Dowling, a spokesman for Albertson’s, said that means it will remain the way it is.

acting director for the last few months.

Graska said he’s spent his first five days on the job meeting the employees and he’s impressed.

“You have the most committed, cohesive group of transit professionals I have come across,” he said.

It was the final meeting as transit board members for both Island County

Commissioner Helen PriceJohnson and Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley.

Price-Johnson’s fellow commissioners voted this week to replace her on the board.

Commissioner Rick Hannold attended the meeting Friday as former commissioner Aubrey Vaughan’s replacement.

Commissioner Jill Johnson will take Price-Johnson’s seat next month.

Johnson said the decision to replace Price-Johnson was in response to public feed-

back.

“There’s an overwhelming desire from the public to see change in leadership on the board,” she said.

Price-Johnson was named as an alternate in case either commissioner can’t attend.

She said Friday that she understood the decision wasn’t personal or punitive, but that “elections have consequences.” Hannold won the election in November; he and Johnson are both Republicans.

Price-Johnson said she

would like to continue helping the transit agency. She pointed out that the new board won’t have any representation from unincorporated South Whidbey or Camano Island.

The Oak Harbor Council voted this month to replace Dudley with Councilman Rick Almberg in the new year.

Some of the council members criticized him for going to Coupeville and Langley to ask other councils to change their representation on the board.

Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said he expects

Page A5

to continue on the board in 2015. Clay didn’t address the issue.

The board approved the agency’s $12-million budget for 2015. The budget shows a $60,000 increase in working capital.

Clay gave his final debriefing as acting CEO. He said the agency’s drivers and dispatchers are working towards becoming unionized, but it’s still very preliminary.

He and Price-Johnson discussed plans to bring back an important South Whidbey

route in April.

They both also talked about the discussions that regional transit leaders and state lawmakers have had over the connector services.

The state’s funding of the connector between Camano Island and Everett ran out this year; the funding for the route between Whidbey and Skagit ends this summer.

“I’m bound and determined to find some way to provide some level of service at least between Oak Harbor and Mount Vernon,” Clay said.

Editorial What The Record wants for Christmas Holding to newfound tradition, the crew from the South Whidbey Record is giving readers a peek into our souls with the publishing of our personal Christmas lists. Without further ado, here they are.

Kim Winjum, associate publisher

What do I want for Christmas? I have no idea. I’m a giver, not a taker. All I want to do is give stuff to other people. It’s what I find the most joy in over the holidays.

But, if one must, I’ll never turn down a bottle of my new favorite perfume, Chanel Number 5.

Ben Watanabe, reporter

Dearest Santa Claus, This past year, I was probably more naughty than nice.

Given my afternoon in traffic court this fall, I’m not sure I can justify being on the good list after driving with a broken taillight for months.

Saint Nick, you delivered me quite the gift during another visit to the courthouse when I officially became a brother to a sister through adoption. Having my family grow is a tremendous gift, and one that will continue to be valued through noogies, watching “Frozen,” playing Pokemon, and celebrating her successes and encouraging her through failure.

That said, a lump of coal is to be expected, though a Maserati would be splendid.

Kate Daniel, reporter

For Christmas this year, I’d like my family members to have better health in the year to come.

I’d also like more time to accomplish more things, things like learning a new language and procuring a collection of Victorian-era medical instruments and books of old fables.

Nancy Waddell, proofreader

Enough money to be able to donate to all the good causes on Whidbey Island.

A replacement for the beautiful weeping willow I lost in the recent windstorm.

Rebecca Collins, creative artist

What I wish Santa would bring to me: An endless supply of squeaker toys, plush toys and chewy toys for my dog.

Fair weather for all my hiking trips.

And a poultry coop that is safe from all predators (my ducks were all claimed by raccoons this year).

Justin Burnett, editor

As for me, I still need a bathroom scale that works. Mine was off by another 5 pounds this year.

WICA’s ‘Wizards of Weepy Isle’ was truly amazing Editor, Combining a glorious display of her art works with an intellectually and emotionally inspiring play, Piper Reva produced a truly amazing evening show with “Wizards of Weepy Isle.”

With a storyline which is on the one hand intimately personal — her own journey to and discovery of the magic of this island — with universal human experiences, feelings, and truths, all together created for the audience a state of benevolence, satisfaction, and psychological purification. Was it all magic?

The imaginative staging included a shipwreck from an unknown beach, a video hookup from a faraway realm to the Wizards, a real, old-time school desk for the Leopard Mouse from who knows where, and even a stu-

dent of French from the Northwest Academy of Languages recruited to disperse the programs.

The two youngsters, Kiah (Cloud Girl) and Isaiah (Lightning Boy) were a marvelous counterpoint to the Wizards. The various storylines were integrated in an entrancing manner indeed, as well as complementing the ethereal songs of our favorite singer.

Now, will the real Piper stand up?

Yes, they are all the real Piper. And fortunately she was not lost at sea, but survived the wreck and is with us both in person and in our minds and hearts forever.

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts is to be thanked and admired for providing her with the space as well as considerable backup help with the whole production. VIVA WICA. It will be great to see more of Piper Reva’s productions in the future.

Editor, “Diary of Anne Frank” at the Whidbey Children’s Theater is an amazing production.

My husband and I were emotionally stunned by the performances of the 15and 16-year-olds doing “Diary of Anne Frank” at Whidbey Children’s Theater.

These young people conveyed all of the feelings of these Jewish people forced to hide away from the Nazis for two years.

I feel great appreciation for Michael Morgen who directed and staged this production, and to all of the cast members who delivered powerful performances.

It plays this weekend, Thursday through Saturday at 7:30, and Sunday at 2 p.m. Don’t miss it!

The funicular for Langley deserves exploration Editor, When I first learned of the Langley funicular, I did not support the concept.

However, after considering the varied opinions, I am now positive on the idea and further exploration of the plan.

Once the decision has been made to buy a new home, the first step is setting a goal. What style of home is preferred?

How soon will the purchase be made? How old should the home be?

How large is the right size? What amenities should the home offer?

Get the picture? If a home buyer doesn’t have a clear picture of the right home before beginning the search, it is highly unlikely that a purchase will result. As someone once said, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere... else.”

The wise home buyer will also determine his or her financial limits before beginning a home search. Imagine finding the perfect home, then being informed that you do not qualify to buy it.

Visit a mortgage lender first, get a loan commitment, then make your buying decision with confidence that the home you select will be yours.

Wrestling team wins head-to-heads, loses to forfeits

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record South Whidbey wrestling had the grapplers, but lacked the numbers to defeat Archbishop Murphy in a dual meet Thursday night in Everett.

The Falcons won four of the six head-to-head matches, but had to forfeit seven bouts because there were no wrestlers from South Whidbey at those weight classes. Archbishop Murphy forfeited three matches.

“We won four of the six headto-head matches, so I was pretty happy about that,” said Falcon head coach Jim Thompson.

“When we have small teams like this, I tell the kids, throw the forfeits out and let’s win the head to heads.”

South Whidbey traveled with seven eligible wrestlers for the Cascade Conference contest. The Falcons won the 132, 138, 145, 160 and 220-pound bouts, though the 220 was a Wildcat forfeit.

The first Falcon victory came in the first actual bout of the night at the 132. Sophomore Hunter Newman pinned Wildcat Sam Skranak in the second period.

His victory was followed by another for South Whidbey when senior Josh McElhinny defeated Archbishop Murphy’s Reagan Gordon 8-3, despite being ill.

“He was kind of struggling,” Thompson said. “It was actually closer than that.”

Jack Nielsen, a Falcon sophomore, was bumped up a weight class to the 145. Giving up at least 5 pounds, Thompson said, the Falcon was able to pin Wildcat Jacob Lucas at the end of the first period.

Madison Evans, a junior, pinned Wildcat Kyle Malone in the second period in 3:42.

Overall, Thompson said the Falcons were good on their feet, from the top position after resets and at escaping. But for the grizzled coach of more than a decade, all he saw were points of improvement across the board.

“Nothing’s standing out yet,” he said. “We’re still early. All I’m seeing is stuff to work on. We’re still making mistakes.”

One of the issues for South Whidbey this season is its small team. With less than a full roster, the Falcons rarely have multiple wrestlers in a single weight class, making live practices more challenging to simulate a match.

“When you’re small, you don’t get the matchup you’d like in practice,” Thompson said.

Yet the Falcons press on. With

This is the entire South Whidbey High School wrestling program, which numbers only 11 this year, one of the lowest in the tenure of head coach Jim Thompson, pictured at left. The Falcons lost their first dual meet because they had to forfeit several weight classes. the holiday break approaching, South Whidbey had work ahead of it in the form of two tournaments featuring mostly 3A and 4A schools. South Whidbey High School is 1A, meaning the student population is significantly smaller.

“When you wrestle the bigger schools, what you run up against is that the programs are bigger,” Thompson said. “So they have the advantage of a lot of good kids in the room.”

“There was a time when it was fun to go to those bigger tournaments,” he added, as the Falcon roster was once larger.

South Whidbey competed in the Lynnwood Classic tournament Dec. 20, after The Record went to press, and will compete in the Everett Classic on Jan. 3 to ring in the new year.

Five Falcons finish in top three at Bellevue Christian tournament South Whidbey had five wrestlers finish in the top three spots at the Iron Sharpens Iron tournament this past weekend.

Hosted by fellow 1A school

Bellevue Christian, several small schools competed for individual and team titles Dec. 13.

South Whidbey senior Josh McElhinny again had to settle for second place, the second time in two weeks. The 138-pound Falcon was pinned in overtime

by Darrington’s Shane Kennamer in the Bellevue championship match.

Darrington won the team title, according to the Daily Herald, a sister paper to The Record, with five first-place wrestlers and a pair of second-place grapplers.

South Whidbey placed ninth.

Four other Falcons finished in third place, winning the consolation bracket. At 132 pounds, sophomore Hunter Newman recovered from a first-round loss and won his way to the consolation title, getting revenge on the grappler who beat him earlier.

Also in the 132, Falcon senior Will Holbert placed fifth.

Madison Evans, a junior, placed third in the 182-pound division.

Logan Madsen, a sophomore, participated in the round robin tournament and won all three of his 182-pound matches.

visit at their fully-licensed 320 square-foot bakery, mere steps from their home overlooking Possession Point, they rattled off a list of other bakeries that existed when they started. Their advantage, they said, was not having the same overhead of a brick-and-mortar bakery and shop.

“A bakery survives on disposable income,” Betz said.

Instead, they relied on market sales and special orders for their business that operated seven months of the year.

Next year, production will scale back. Betz and Lowary said they will not be at the market every Saturday.

“We’re not gonna be at the market every week,” Lowary said. “We want a life.”

They made 12,429 Christmas cookies of 18 different kinds packaged into boxes and wrapped with a bow. The festive treats are mostly shortbread-based cookies, though some are chocolate, and many of

them have sprinkles on them in green and red.

Betz, a career baker who eventually moved into front-office bakery work before retiring and moving to South Whidbey, has a dirty secret. He doesn’t like Christmas cookies.

“They’re not my favorite cookie,” he said before pointing out that Lowary

is happy to eat sweet treats indiscriminately.

“He’ll eat anything with sugar in it.”

Lowary didn’t disagree.

“Pretty much,” he said.

“I do have a sweet tooth, unfortunately.”

Neither of them take part in consuming much of their product. That’s more out of health reasons than not liking the taste, though.

“We really don’t eat much of the stuff … or else we’d be 3,000 pounds,” Betz said.

In addition to the Keebler elf-esque volume of cookie creation, Betz and Lowary put together cinnamon rolls, tarts and tortes. By the end of the market, they hoped to have sold every last confection, though any that remain are donated to Good Cheer Food Bank.

break from early mornings, though a deep cleaning of their bakery remained.

Beyond that, they anticipated a bit of rest.

“In the winter time, this is a pretty sleepy place,” Betz said. “It’s kind of a sigh.”

“I find it unacceptable that we can’t get snow and ice off the streets,” said Haldeman, whose therapy office is on First Street.

Snowfall Nov. 29 was promptly followed by freezing temperatures.

Compacted by cars, the melting snow quickly turned to ice before the city, whose employees were enjoying a holiday vacation or were also snowed in, was ready.

“When the ice hit, it was like freezing rain… As soon as it hit it froze on the surface of the road,” Mayor Fred McCarthy said in a later interview.

“This cold, ice, freezing rain really wasn’t predicted,” he added.

The city asked Island County Public Works to treat the roads, but found that Third Street was too slick and barricaded the road.

“When they went out to scrape it, it was frozen to the ground. At that point in time, we figured that our challenges were more than we could respond to,” McCarthy said later.

The mayor agreed with Haldeman, in part, that it was unacceptable for
