Bank heist suspect looks for love from behind bars

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record

he stopped at Nichols because he wanted to check out the new boat but also to see how state-funded transportation projects have translated into real jobs.

He likes camping, hiking and fishing. He finds beauty mostly in a woman’s personality. And he wants to fall in love with the right girl.

Fit and tattooed, his photos show that he looks good without a shirt.

There’s just one wrinkle; Christian Shorey is wearing orange these days. He’s a burglary and bank robbery suspect serving time in Island County jail.

Anyone browsing the personals on Craiglist in recent days may have come across Shorey’s posting. He’s up front about his predicament, but asks interested women to send letters and photos to the jail.

If their photos are returned, he suggests the senders forward them to a state prison, in which he may be living for a spell.

Though he’s currently in the clink, Shorey’s search for a heart to steal is not taxpayer funded.

Inmates in the county jail don’t have access to Craigslist or even the

Freeland blueberry farm expects 20,000 pounds from 2015 harvest

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Driving through Freeland on Highway 525, it’s likely you’ve seen the cart and banner advertising Mutiny Bay Blues blueberry farm.

The farm itself is as unassuming as its marketing strategy, with a large old barn and acres upon acres of blueberry bushes situat-

ed on a property just off of Mutiny Bay Road.

But by summertime, the farm will become a bustling hive of activity, expected to produce about 20,000 pounds of berries to be distributed to grocers and farm stands from Clinton to Oak Harbor.

Britt Fletcher, owner of the 16.5-acre organic blueberry farm, is seeking pickers for the upcoming harvest. According to Fletcher, the opportunity could prove ripe with advance-

ment opportunities as his business rapidly expands.

He would know. Fletcher began picking at age 9, earning about 30 cents a flat, and has worked in agriculture on and off since then.

Ken Petry, farm manager, has worked in the agricultural industry since 1979.

“I love blueberries,” said Petry, a sentiment echoed by Fletcher.

Fletcher bought the farm in 2009 and plant-

ed the farm’s first bushes in 2011. Last year, they distributed to South Whidbey restaurants, grocery stores and farm stands including Payless, Red Apple, the Star Store, Clinton Food Mart and Blue Moon Farm Stand.

This year, they’ll be expanding their distribution throughout Whidbey Island in their SEE FARM, A13

Clinton survey ready Sheriff defends lack to start next Thursday of drug education Contributed photo

Sue Sage’s team took first place in the semi-final round.

SWE students take first place in Sno-Isle Libraries challenge semifinals Sue Sage’s “Rampaging Readers” took first place in the semifinals of the Sno-Isle Libraries third grade reading challenge.

During the semifinals, the South Whidbey Elementary School team competed against six other Whidbey Island schools. The competition took place on March 11.

The team scored three perfect rounds and then answered five tiebreaking questions during the course of the competition, earning them the title of champion, according to South Whidbey Elementary School’s website.

The team advanced to compete in the final challenge in Edmonds the week of March 16.

Some 65 residents of the greater Clinton area are due to start field work on a census of the community.

Mrs. Al Olkonen, census chairman, said response of the community has been terrific.

As of last week, 40 had volunteered to help with the census and more are signing up each day.

Mrs. Olkonen said she has heard some disturbing rumors about the census and would like to lay them to rest.

“I have heard that some are opposing the census because they feel it will result in higher taxes,” she said. “This is ridiculous. The main reason for the census is to find out what most people feel are our major problems and to find out if there are talents in the community which are not being used to the fullest extent.”

“It’s just the first step in trying to make South Whidbey a better place to live.”

Sheriff Bud Graves came under fire from the county commissioners last week for his department’s lack of an effort to fight drug use through youth education.

The subject came up during the commissioners’ recent staff session when Linda Morris, Island County Human Services Coordinator, reported to the commissioners that local school districts had received small state grants to bolster their drug and alcohol prevention programs.

Commissioners later asked Graves why his department is not involved in any of the schools’ substance abuse prevention programs.

“I can answer that with a single word,” the sheriff said.

“Money.”

The sheriff added that he is spread too thin and is unable to spare any staff members for educational duties.

Even if they had the money to pay for another deputy, Graves said, his first priority would be to put him in a patrol car on the road.

Island County prosecutor, commissioners argue over outside hire

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said he may file a lawsuit if the county commissioners hire an outside attorney without his approval.

A meeting between the commissioners and Banks became heated Wednesday afternoon as the elected officials argued about the commissioners’ plan to contract with an attorney to provide legal help for the update of the county’s comprehensive plan, which guides growth and development under the state Growth Management Act. The commissioners, however, were unconvinced by the prosecutor’s arguments during the lengthy debate that delved into personal attacks.

“You are portraying this conversation as if we are trying to do something against you,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said. “In fact in our conversation … I said I wanted to collaborate with your office to provide the best legal counsel and support for this comprehensive plan that we possibly can.

“You took offense.

Somehow the press was alerted and now we have this highly charged conversation,” she added, referring to comments Banks made to

Banks told the commissioners that he would be willing to consider a contract with an outside attorney — if an issue arises necessitating “extra horsepower” — but he was concerned that a contracted attorney would be unnecessarily costly since he has two talented land-use attorneys on staff.

“I think keeping the work in house in general is a better expenditure and keeps the money for other county departments,” he said.

In addition, he argued that the commissioners’ plan to hire the outside attorney is an unconstitutional infringement upon his authority as the county’s elected prosecutor.

“It amounts to hiring someone to usurp the authority of an elected official who’s accountable to the public,” he said.

Banks said if an attorney is hired to do the work of his office over his objection that he would take whatever legal action necessary to prevent his office from

PORT Big bucks passed to local groups Over $18,000 in grant money was recently awarded to various tourism and economy-stirring organizations by the Port of South Whidbey.

After hearing presentations during the port’s regular meeting earlier this month, the board agreed to provide the following with grant funding: The Island Shakespeare Festival, $800; South Whidbey Assembly of God/Celebrate America, $1,010; the Greater Freeland Chamber of Commerce, $5,000; the Whidbey Island Arts Council, $2,500; the

Clinton Progressive Association/Mayfest, $800; the Clinton Chamber of Commerce/ Clinton Thursday Market, $3,200; and the Whidbey Island Conservation District/Whidbey Island Farm Tour, $1,000. In all, $18,510 was awarded.

The port commissioners annually budget funds to support local economic development and promotion of tourism. The funds are awarded in the form of reimbursement for expenses for economic development via improvement of local business and tourism, or for capital projects which foster economic and tourism development for South Whidbey, according to a news release.

Part of the requirement for returning applicants is to provide information on

Among the returning applicants in 2015, they reported that the port funds have helped to bring 23,000 tourists (up to 48 percent are from off-island) to Whidbey Island, and/or to provide them with information about South Whidbey, the release said.

In the case of the sculptures on Second Street located on the plaza, the road’s redesign in early 2014 gave the commission money for stipends to the artists.

In return, the artists display their work on one of Langley’s busier hubs for a year and have the chance to sell it. Langley gets the first offer to buy and gets 20 percent of the sale.

Upper Langley site plan headed to hearing examiner

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Langley’s newest affordable and intentional community housing development is scheduled for a hearing examiner, its first major step since 2013.

The 10-acre, 16-home project on Al Anderson Avenue had its status updated to the Langley City Council at its March 16 meeting. According to Upper Langley, LLC leaders, they are be ready to break ground.

“We’ve fulfilled everything we need to fulfill,” said Cary Peterson, one of the project’s land partners.

All they need is city approval of their site plan, the main document about how the project will be conducted and what it will look like. That determination will come from

Upper Langley, LLC image

This page from the Upper Langley site plan shows the home site configuration off of Al Anderson Avenue. a hearing examiner, a thirdparty professional.

Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio said the hearing would be at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16.

Prior to that hearing, the project will go through Planning

Advisory Board review at its upcoming April 1 meeting.

Putting in the infrastructure — sewer, water, electric, telecommunications — is estimated to cost $420,000.

The group reportedly has

$120,000 in funding secured from people interested in owning lots and is pursuing other “social investors” for shortterm bridge loans.

Owners must meet income guidelines. A majority of the home sites at the walk-in community are tabbed for people who earn less than 120 percent of Island County’s median income — about $60,000, according to recent U.S. Census data. Four, however, will not be restricted by income and the sites cost more ($90,000 compared to $60,000, plus $15,000 that goes toward the commons house).

That covers just the sites, sold under market value.

Actual home construction is up to the site holder who can build up to 975 square feet depending on their means.

Upper Langley’s homes are designed to be “perpetually affordable.” Deed restrictions limit the resale price, meaning that someone can’t sell it for a large profit. Values will only increase 1.5 percent every year per a covenant deed.

So far, Peterson said six people have signed letters of intent to buy a lot.

In 2012, the City of Langley approved a Demonstration Program for Innovative Permanently Affordable Housing Projects. As a means of accomplishing that goal, the city agreed to consider modification of development regulations such as minimum lot size, street frontage, yard setbacks, parking requirements and open space.

Another goal for the designed community is energy conservation. One way the

homes will achieve that is with shared amenities, such as a washer and dryer in the “commons house.” By building smaller homes, energy costs to heat them are less as well.

Some of the logs taken from the property are being milled into lumber that will be used in the homes. Five of the project’s 10 acres will be preserved second growth forest, with only 1 acre used for housing and the rest for community space as gardens and meadow.

Currently the area’s forested land has popular pedestrian trails that snake through Langley’s woods.

Councilwoman Rene Neff was delighted to hear the project’s land partners are considering connecting it to other trails.

“That would be really lovely,” she said.

Editor’s column

Finding a new Whidbey frontier with Mr. Spock

Response

Langley lift the worst of all financial worlds

By JUSTIN BURNETT

Editor, I wonder how Victoria Clipper passengers who use walkers would feel if they took a funicular or elevator from the marina and found themselves at Fourth Street and Cascade Avenue.

Actually, I don’t wonder, since I’ve worked with that population my entire professional career, almost 40 years now. They would sit down on the nearest bench and ask when the ride to town was coming, since it was too far to walk. When they were finished enjoying downtown, they would ask for a ride back to the marina, since the walk back to the funicular/elevator would be not only long, but slightly uphill as well.

If you are using a walker even a slight incline can be difficult.

In the end, Langley would financially have the worst of all possible worlds: the expense and maintenance of both a funicular/elevator and wheeled shuttle system.

I got a new puppy on Friday, an Australian Cattle Dog. It’s a breed renowned for its energy, dedication, loyalty and intelligence. He has a blue coat, brown feet, a black patch over one eye and will soon have pricked ears.

In recognition of those qualities, and in tribute to the late Leonard Nimoy, we named him Mr. Spock.

Buster, Pirate and Scamp were also strong contenders, however, and might have been better fits. Like all puppies, he’s a regular Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — love and fuzz one second, tearing up the couch and terrorizing the cat the next.

And our nights, good grief what happened to them?

Once blissful periods of sleep and serenity, they’ve been transformed into short bouts of rest interrupted by sharp teeth and frequent potty breaks into the rain. Concerning the latter, we’re doing our best but cold puppy poop between the toes remains a nightly affair.

“Fascinating,” indeed. Perhaps we should have named him Dump Truck.

But life with a puppy is a seesaw. The lows have you digging through your pockets for your receipt, and the highs find you giving silent thanks for the smile they put on faces of your loved ones.

It’s also a process of discovery. We already have a dog, one who loves to run and play but is perfectly content as a couch potato. She’s game for whatever, making her a willing collaborator for personal laziness. As a puppy, but also due to his breed, Mr. Spock doesn’t live in the same universe. We knew when we got him that cattle dogs won’t tolerate sloth, so in preparation for the years ahead we’ve been making forays into some new territory, the realms of regular exercise. Shudder.

This strange and new form of recreation has been eyeopening, taking us to locations I didn’t know existed. For example, there’s this place called South Whidbey State Park on Smuggler’s Cove Road. Old growth forest, a healthy system of trails, access to the shoreline; it’s awesome. And word is it’s entirely publicly owned. Turns out Freeland Park and Robinson Beach are also public, assets of incalculable value where humans and canines alike can stretch their legs.

Who’d have thought there’s life beyond the computer screen, that the heart can beat at more than one speed?

Perhaps Mr. Spock was the right name after all. I might not be venturing where no man has gone before, but he’s certainly showing me a new frontier.

Star Trek rules.

SHARON EMERSON Langley

We need to let go of the ‘us versus them’ dialogue Editor, Ah, a good discussion (Patrick Ryan’s March 21 letter), somewhat inaccurate, but civil. I too echo Mr. Ryan’s call for attendance at the April 14 workshop on the marina/downtown connection in the hope that we have an open and creative discourse on options.

In small towns there are two economic engines: the downtown and industry — we have a downtown and marina/resort district instead. Low-density residential use services generally are subsidized by the other two (American Farmland Trust). My mission is to strengthen each (downtown and marina district) through a safe, convenient, consistent and reliable pedestrian assist — whatever it is, from van(s) to elevator — not as an amusement trick but as an economic infrastructure element. And with that “assist,” yes, I want to support existing uses (Boatyard Inn, port/marina, vacation rentals) and the potential Drake/Langley Inn development and future marina expansion to enhance a quality economic benefit for Langley.

The funicular/inclined elevator has been discussed for many years. It’s not a new idea and is only one of a number of options (I worked with the city/borough of Ketchikan on their Creek Street tram, 1984).

However, I am hoping to see

other constructive options presented and discussed on April 14 so we can let go of the “us versus them” dialogue and use our transportation infrastructure funds effectively.

I still support Paul Schell’s dream of integrating a mechanical lift into new Drake development (original proposal had it on port property which the port opposed) to bolster and strengthen new Wharf Street uses and connections to uptown.

“Do-nothing” is not an option to me. And Bob Prasch, keep that humor rolling in and I hope to see you as a visiting bartender at the Dog House in the near future.

Disasters

Let’s get prepared for a possible Whidbey tsunami Editor, Several times now I have gone back to my computer and watched videos of the

tsunami disaster in Japan and thought about how vulnerable we are here on Whidbey Island for the same thing to happen.

I also wonder how many people are prepared for such a disaster. It has been estimated that even a minor ocean-born tsunami that races in through the Strait of Juan de Fuca will take out the highway and power lines in several places, leaving South Whidbey stranded without power for several weeks.

It is hard to calculate the extent of the damage to our ferry docks, but they might be out of service for the same extended period. This would leave us with small boat travel as our only contact with the mainland.

I wonder how many beach residents are prepared for basic survival after their houses and personal possessions are destroyed.

Lawrence (Larry) Backe

1946 – 2015 A celebration of his life will be held at 11 a.m.

Saturday, March 28, at St. Hubert Catholic Church, 804 Third St., Langley, WA. A lunch reception will follow at noon at the Holmes Harbor Rod and Gun Club, 3334 Brooks Hill Road, Langley, WA. Larry’s family has been informed that a scholarship will be awarded in his name. In lieu of flowers, a donation in memory of Larry may be made to the Knights of Columbus Council #11357 mailing address: c/o St. Hubert’s Catholic Church, P.O. Box 388, Langley, WA 98260. Please note: Scholarship Fund.

Lawrence Edward Backe (Larry) passed away on the last day of his 68th year, March 7, 2015, with his family by his side on Whidbey Island, Wash., after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Indiana, March 8, 1946, Larry spent his formative years in Crown Point, Ind. He graduated from Andrean High School, Merrillville, Ind., in 1964, and received his bachelor’s degree in industrial management from Purdue University in 1968. After working for the Ford Motor Company in Illinois as an accountant, Larry was called to serve his country in the United States Army March 1969 through February 1971.

Larry earned the bronze star medal for distinguishing himself through meritorious service in connection with military operations against hostile forces in Vietnam while serving as an Army first lieutenant, assigned as an assistant operations officer for headquarters company, U.S. Army strategic communications command, signal support agency, Phu-Lam, Vietnam.

In 1971, Larry met his future wife, Janet Smith, and they were married at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Crown Point, Ind., February 1972. Larry resumed his professional career with Ford Motor Company until 1975, when Larry and Janet relocated to Washington state. Larry pursued his passion of cars and his hobby as a mechanic by owning a Shell Service Station in

Lawrence Backe Bellevue, Wash. In 1979 he began his long and distinguished career with United Parcel Service, Seattle, retiring as a regional manager in 2001.

Larry and Janet moved to Whidbey Island after retirement and spent many enjoyable years traveling in their RV, enjoying many dog and beach walks and working on their acreage and home in Clinton, Wash.

As well as a car enthusiast and avid Mariners and Seahawks fan, Larry also pursued his passion of wine making.

Larry served as the scholarship chair with the St. Hubert’s Knights of Columbus Langley Council #11357. Prior, he served many years as the chair for the Knights’ Island County Fair booth. His donation of time and treasure to his faith never faltered and will be remembered by his friends and family as a devout Catholic who valued family, home and friends. His children, son Christopher and daughter Brenna, will remember him as a very loving father who encouraged them to pursue their education and careers but to always value who they are first. Larry’s children, family, friends and neighbors will also remember his sense of humor and his positive, kind and gentle nature to enjoy life and people. His presence will be truly missed every day; however, his wonderful spirit will remain in their hearts always.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, William and Marie Backe.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his children, Christopher, Brenna (husband Jay Allaghi); siblings, sister Rene Backe, Tom (Carrie) Backe, Ray (Peggy) Backe and Loretta (Butch) Kaiser; Janet’s siblings, Vivienne (Bob) Sward, David (Kay) Smith and Mike Smith; many cousins, nieces and nephews; and his adored fourlegged friend, Misty.

Suzanne (Susie) G. Fulle was born March 3, 1929, in Houston. Susie was the daughter of J.R. Goodson and Minerva Dickinson Goodson. J.R. had been in the Texas Rangers and operated a drug store in Galveston, Texas, in the Great Galveston hurricane of 1900. J.R. handed out the contents of his drug store to the survivors of that hurricane. Minerva Goodson was born and raised in the town of Plaquemine, La. Susie was one of 11 children, being the secondto-last child born. Susie attended Rice University in Houston, graduating cum laude. Susie taught school in Houston for two years, and when a neighbor lady walked by as Susie was working in her garden and said she hoped Susie would always be working in her garden whenever the neighbor lady walked by, Susie determined to move to New York City.

She found she had $28 when she arrived in New York and applied to the Columbia University Press for employment and obtained a job. Susie’s sister, Betty, was the librarian at Rice, and she had a good friend, Dr. Bridgewater, who was an influential editor at the Columbia University Press.

Susie met Floyd Fulle in New York while Floyd was attending Columbia Law School. Upon graduation from law school, Floyd migrated to Seattle and obtained a job with the firm of Weter Roberts & Shefleman and proposed marriage by mail to Susie, who accepted the proposal by telegram. Susie and Floyd celebrated Floyd’s departure for Seattle by having a bologna sandwich picnic on the Columbia campus on 116th Street in

Suzanne Fulle New York.

Susie is survived by her husband, Floyd, and their three children, Will Fulle and wife, Rie, who reside in Japan, and their daughter, Laina, who is now attending Mount Vernon High School and residing with Floyd and Susie’s daughter, Laura; Alan Fulle, who is a Seattle artist, having graduated from the UW with a bachelor of fine arts degree; and Laura Westendorf, who is married to Lyal Westendorf, and they have a daughter, Layla Westendorf (16), and now Laina from Japan, also 16, and a son, Logan (7).

Susie passed away March 7, 2015, after an eight-year struggle with Alzheimer’s. Floyd and Susie were married for 58 years.

There will be a memorial held at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at the Scatchet Head Community Club. A light meal will be served after the memorial service.

Robert Herbert Smith Robert Herbert Smith was the son of Harold and Lucille Smith and the great-great-grandson of the founder of Whittier, Calif., Jonathan Bailey. He was born in Rosemead, Calif., Sept. 11, 1930; he left this world for a better place

Page A7

March 8, 2015. He was preceded in death by his son, Lynn Smith, and his wife of 36 years, Jeanne Louise Smith, who passed away two weeks ago to the day.

He is survived by his only daughter, Lois Wenzek, of Freeland, and a number of grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

Bob, as he was known, assisted his father with his business at Rosemead Feed Company, a business that expanded to three locations. During WWII, at age 14, he got a special license to drive a delivery truck. Later he would use those skills to drive for Mt. Whitney Lumber for nine months, where he would haul logs, and later he drive long-hauls. In the early ’50s, he avoided the draft by joining the Navy.

His main naval occupation was upon the USS Rendova, an aircraft carrier, where he had the job of operating the catapult, which launched planes from the ship. Much of his naval experience, 1950-54, was served in the waters off Korea. It was during this time he married Thelma Bailey, the mother of his two children. The marriage ended with a lifedebilitating disease, which later ended in death for Thelma.

He attended high school at El Monte High but graduated from West Covina High, both in the Los Angeles area. After his military experience, he owned a gas station 195455. He drove truck line 1956-59, but in 1959, he moved with his family to Strathmore, Calif., in order to work with his father and manage citrus groves.

He managed groves in

Robert Smith Strathmore, Terra Bella, Ducor and Exeter, all in central California, between the years of 1959-1990, at which time he moved to Coos Bay, Ore. He loved to boat and got a commercial fishing license, which was mainly used for recreational experiences. While in Coos Bay, he and his wife, Jeanne, developed a number of lifelong friendships.

They came to Whidbey Island briefly during the late 1990s but returned to Coos Bay. Once again in 2013, they proceeded to Whidbey Island to be with their daughter. They lived in the Mutiny Sands area until the last months of their lives, at which time they moved to the Double Bluff area in order to be close to Lois and Darrell.

He and his wife were both members of the South Whidbey Community Church, where their sonin-law serves as pastor.

A graveside service is planned for Bob at 1 p.m.

Sunday, March 22, at the Langley Cemetery. He will be interred at a family plot next to his wife.

King’s claims top three spots in girls golf match King’s picked up where it left off as the Cascade Conference champions and state 1A champions in a headto-head match with South Whidbey on Monday.

The Lady Knights took the top three spots en route to a 115-97 win, based on modified Stableford scoring at Mill Creek Country Club.

“King’s is always going to

be tough,” said Falcon head coach Tom Sage. “It’s just what it is. I thought we’d be more competitive.”

“It was a combination of mental errors,” he added.

South Whidbey was led by junior Tarra Moore, who scored 23 points through nine holes. Freshman Kolby Heggenes scored 21 points.

Rosie Portillo, a senior and

two-time state tournament qualifier, scored 20 points.

Riley Yale, a sophomore, scored 19 points, and senior Meaghan de Wolf scored 14 points.

King’s Charis Tsai was the medalist with 30 points, narrowly edging her teammate Hannah Roh’s 29.

The loss split South Whidbey’s conference

record at 1-1. In the Falcons’ first league contest on March 19, South Whidbey beat Cedarcrest at Useless Bay Golf and Country Club 11272.

In that match, Moore was the Falcons’ leading golfer after scoring 27 points through nine holes. She was also the match’s medalist. Portillo finished with 25

points. Senior Grace Stringer and de Wolf tied for third overall with 21 points each.

Heggenes scored 18 points.

South Whidbey and Cedarcrest meet again next week, Tuesday, March 31 at Blue Heron Golf Course in Carnation. The Falcons’ next home match is at 3 p.m.

Kindergarten information night geared to help parents prepare

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record South Whidbey Elementary will host a new kind of kindergarten information night this year.

Parents of incoming kindergarten students have traditionally attended an information night which included an orientation to school policies and an informative handout. This year, parents will have the opportunity to meet and hear informative presentations from a variety of school staff members including kindergarten teachers, the librarian and occupational and speech therapists.

The orientation will take place teach parents the best methods of helping their child hold a pencil at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 21. for writing, while Principal Jeff Cravy the speech therexplained that parents will spend 10 minutes apist will discuss “We want it to at each station, talking resources for be more of a with each of the staff parents who may members. have concerns partnership with In addition to gatherand the librarian parents.” will discuss the ing a wealth of informaJeff Cravy, importance of tion about the school principal reading at home. and kindergarten in South Whidbey Elementary School “This will hit general, parents will the pre-K readireceive helpful advice on ways in which to ness skills we prepare themselves and need them to their child for school. have,” Cravy said.

The occupational therapist will Cravy explained that the orien-

tation will help to foster a connection among the school, students and the home. This will be especially helpful due to the increasing requirements for kindergartners to do work, such as reading, at home.

“We want it to be more of a partnership with parents,” Cravy said.

It is the district’s goal to have all incoming kindergartners registered by the end of May. Early kindergarten registration is essential for planning, Cravy said, and allows him to ensure he has adequate staff and resources to accommodate the number of students.

Everyone prefers smaller class sizes, said Cravy, but it is difficult for children to move classes once the school year has begun because bonds have already been formed with classmates and teachers.

Having a good idea of the number of incoming students beforehand helps to ensure children will be set in a smaller class at the beginning of the year without the need to move.

Housing Authority of Island County opens low-income housing wait list

Why w a i t to s ave m on n i g h t for a f re e qu o te o

The Housing Authority of Island County will open its Section 8 waiting list next month for the first time in over six years.

Beginning April 1, the public can apply to get on the list at a variety of locations throughout Island County. The application window lasts 60 days, closing May 31. Applications will be available at the following places once the period opens: Good Cheer in Langley and Helping Hands in Freeland; the Island County Veterans Resource Center in Freeland; Island County Human Services, Senior Services of Island County, Compass Health Whidbey, Sunrise Services and the Housing Authority of Island County Office in Coupeville; and the

Opportunity Council, CADA and the Senior Information and Assistance Center in Oak Harbor. Additional locations include Habitat for Humanity in Freeland and Oak Harbor; North Whidbey, South Whidbey and Camano Community Clinics; and the Stanwood/ Camano Senior Center.

According to the Housing Authority’s website, the organization owns and manages 110 public housing units for senior citizens or persons with disabilities or handicapping conditions, which are subsidized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Through the HUD Section 8 Program, the Housing Authority administers 274 vouchers. These vouchers are used to subsi-

dize program participants’ lease payments for privately owned apartments and houses located within the Housing Authority’s service area.

Applications received before April 1 or after the May 31 deadline will not be accepted. Being on the list is not an indicator that families will receive assistance in the near future; the agency is serving families that have been on the list for over six years.

The opening provides an opportunity for families to get on the waiting list that has not been available since March 2009.

Applicants are encouraged to read the cover letter thoroughly as incomplete applications will be returned, which can delay the process. Each week

after the mail is received on Thursday, a lottery will be conducted to place those families that applied during that week on the waiting list.

Note that the Housing Authority office is closed on Fridays. Faxed applications will not be accepted.

Applications may be mailed to the Housing Authority Office, 7 N.W. 6th

Welcome the whales

As grays and orcas make their way through Puget Sound, sighting opportunities are plentiful

Kate Daniel / The Record

A California Sea Lion rests on a buoy.

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

C

uriosity and excitement abounded on board the Mystic Sea whale charter boat Sunday afternoon as passengers rushed to the railing and windows to spy their first whales of the day, a group of five transient orcas making their way past the Mukilteo Ferry Dock.

For some, like passengers Kevin and Janet Craig, it was their first sighting of a whale in the wild.

The couple had just moved to Oak Harbor from Indiana about six months ago.

“We’re still like tourists,” Janet Craig said, laughing.

The couple said they had little prior knowledge about marine species, but were enjoying seeing them in their natural habitat.

“I really enjoyed it, it was neat,” Janet Craig said.

The sighting came within about half an hour of the boat’s 11 a.m. departure from the South Whidbey Harbor at Langley, and would be followed by a hand-

ful of additional sightings throughout the next three hours at sea.

The Mystic Sea departs from the South Whidbey Harbor at Langley for sightings of gray whales from March 7 through May 10.

Orca season will run from May 15 through October 4, though some lucky groups such as those aboard Sunday’s cruise will have the opportunity to see both species in a single outing.

“We don’t get much better than orcas and grays in one day,” said Mystic Sea Captain Monte Hughes.

Jill Hein, a member of Beach Watchers’ and Orca Network’s board of directors, serves as the volunteer naturalist aboard Mystic Sea Charters once a week.

Hein makes her rounds giving educational talks and answering questions from curious passengers.

Though members of the resident orca pod have been spotted in the waters of Puget Sound year-round, gray whales and members of the transient orca population have begun to make their journey north from California through the Salish Sea to Alaska.

The grays will depart for

Kate Daniel / The Record

A pod of orcas swims in the waters near the Mukilteo Ferry Dock.

Alaska some time between May and early June. In the fall, more orcas are expected to arrive in the waters around Whidbey. There will also be plenty of opportunity for sightings of humpbacks, orcas and minke whales during the summer, particularly farther north near the San Juans.

For Whidbey Islanders like Orca Network codirector and co-founder Howard Garrett and fellow marine mammal enthusiasts, it is quite an exciting time of year.

Garrett explained that about 10-12 grays, the more “mysterious” of the two species, are expected to be coming through Puget Sound this year.

Garrett noted that these whales are more elusive in their behavioral patterns, and the nature of their relationships with one another is relatively unknown.

Hein explained that the grays are “stopping in for a snack,” and had been feasting on shrimp in the mudflats near Everett.

By the time they reach the sound, she said, they haven’t

eaten for four to five months.

“The gray whales know the buffet table is full of their favorite shrimp lining the shores,” Garrett said.

Orcas, which Garrett described as more charismatic and popular, have welldocumented social patterns.

Family bonds remain for life; babies stay with their mothers and grandmothers, and pods work together. The whales also transmit their cultures which determine their diets and mating practices, according to Garrett.

“We know a whole lot about them, their ages and relationships, so that gives us much more to appreciate about them,” Garrett said, adding that the orca’s ability for all-encompassing cultural transmissions from one generation to another is “quite fascinating and unprecedented in wildlife biology.”

The Southern Resident population eats almost exclusively Chinook salmon, and has been placed on the endangered species list. The oldest member of the pod, “Granny J-7” is estimated to be about 104 years old.

Whale charter boat opera-

tors like Hughes decide the direction of their daily whaleseeking course based upon information from numerous sources, including on-shore whale-watchers, Orca Network and marine traffic radio communications.

Hughes noted that he and his passengers have spied at least one or two whales on each of his cruises thus far this year.

Sunday’s excursion was unusually fruitful, with five orcas and three gray whales spotted.

Aside from the transient pod near Mukilteo, Patch and #22, two gray whales, were seen near Glendale; a third unidentified gray was also spotted off of the Clinton Ferry Dock; and a fourth was just off of Hat Island. In addition, passengers got a glimpse of a California sea lion and numerous birds.

Hughes asked the group of 58 passengers to assist in spotting the whales, a task everyone seemed happy to oblige.

“When you yell ‘Whale!’ everyone goes to one side of the boat,” Hughes said with

a chuckle.

For those looking to spy a whale from shore or aboard a private boat, Garrett said there are over 120 designated spots from Olympia to Possession Pass that are ideal for sightings. The San Juan Islands are also an ideal location. Boy and Dog Park, Cascade Avenue and Seawall Park in Langley, Shore Meadows in Freeland, Possession Point, Possession Point State Park, Greenbank and Penn Cove are all recommended. Orca Network also has a complete list of points available online.

The City of Langley and Orca Network will invite everyone to celebrate whales at the Welcome the Whales Festival on April 18-19. On April 19, Orca Network will also host a fundraising cruise aboard the “Mystic Sea” from 3-5 p.m. Tickets for the cruise cost $75 per person.

of the Kwa-di Tabil class; and the Tokitae, the Samish and the Chimacum of the Olympic class.

The Tokitae is in service on the Clinton-to-Mukilteo ferr y route, while the Samish and Chimacum are still under construction.

The Samish is currently slated for service in the San Juan Islands, and the Chimacum’s route has yet to be determined.

hopeful that a fourth 144car ferry will be funded in 2015, but that there are still a few hurdles to overcome.

“We have a fair shot of getting it done this year,” Inslee said.

“I feel much better than I did six months ago,” he added.

Company leaders also emphasized their statecertified apprenticeship program. Higgins said it’s currently funded in-house, but that any state assistance would be welcome.

Gov. Jay Inslee gets a breakdown of Nichols Brothers’ water treatment system from Fran LaFond.

WHIDBEY ISLAND ARTISTS Greeting Cards Justin Burnett / The Record

Gov. Jay Inslee walks with Matt Nichols, vice president of Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, during a tour of the Freeland yard on Tuesday.

GOVERNOR CONTINUED FROM A1

“We want to see actual job creation in our state, and Nichols is a bright spot,” said Inslee, referring to the yard’s role in building half a dozen state ferries since the retirement of the steel electrics in late 2007.

The Chimacum is the latest of three 144-car Olympic Class ferries built jointly

by Nichols Brothers and Vigor Industrial in Seattle.

The hulls are fabricated by Vigor and the superstructures by the Freeland shipbuilder. Construction of the 144-car ferry began early this year.

Shepherded by an entourage that included CEO Gavin Higgins, Vice President Matt Nichols, and various company and state officials, Inslee was introduced to project team leaders and yard workers.

One of those meetings was a reintroduction to an old friend: Fran LaFond, the yards’ storm water administrator. The governor, LaFond and Nichols all went to school together as kids.

After some reminiscing, which included Inslee asking why they looked so much younger than himself, LaFond gave him a tour of the company’s onsite water treatment system. It removes copper and other toxic chemicals in parts per billion, as opposed to parts per million. It’s a source of great pride for the com-

pany.

“There’s no other shipyards doing this,” Higgins said.

Inslee was impressed, saying such investments in the environment are vital for salmon recovery and a cleaner Puget Sound. He said later it was a highlight of his visit to Nichols.

“To have one of the best systems in the world right here is something to be proud of,” Inslee said.

In an earlier interview with The Record, Higgins said the governor’s visit was likely a first for the company in its 50-year history, making it a rare opportunity to show off the high-quality work and craftsmanship produced at the Freeland shipyard.

“I don’t think it ever hurts to have the governor come through,” Higgins said. “It’s a testament to the business.”

Tuesday’s visit wasn’t just a tour, however; it was a chance for company leaders to speak with the governor about several critical issues. First and foremost, they expressed their hopes for the passage of the governor’s transportation budget, which called for the construction of a fourth 144-car ferry.

“Of course we’re very keen for the state Department of Transportation to continue to improve its vessels, its fleet,” Higgins said.

Since 2008, the state has funded the construction of six new ferries: the Chetzemoka, the Kennewick and the Salish

Internet, according to Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Wallace said someone else must have posted the information for Shorey.

Shorey, 35, made headlines on Whidbey Island last year after Island County Sheriff Mark Brown named him as “a person of interest” in the robbery last September of Wells Fargo Bank in Clinton.

At least four members of Shorey’s immediate family told detectives they believed it was his voice they heard on a recording of a phony 9-1-1 call that preceded the bank heist, according to the South Whidbey Record.

The call is believed to have been intended as a diversionary tactic to lure deputies away from Clinton.

The bank robber wore a black mask, gloves and a camouflaged jacket over a black hooded sweatshirt.

Brandishing a black semiautomatic handgun, the robber approached a teller and demanded cash and the keys to an employee’s vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.

Shorey was arrested in Forks in October after allegedly burglarizing a bar there.

He was then transferred to Island County, where he is charged with two counts of burglary in the second degree; he’s accused of breaking into the Bayview Valero gas station twice last October.

Surveillance video in both instances showed a masked man stealing cigarettes, lottery tickets and other items.

Tattoos on the masked burglar allegedly matched Shorey’s, according to a deputy’s report.

No charges are filed in the bank robbery case yet.

first “commercial pick.” In the future, Fletcher plans to expand even further, though he said he intends to remain a local farm, and only sell within a 100-mile radius.

There are 12 varieties of berries currently growing, though they have three main strands: Duke, Draper and Liberty. The rest are test rows, which Fletcher will observe and examine to determine whether or not to plant more of them in the future.

“It’s science as well as a bit of art,” Fletcher said.

In addition to the berries, Fletcher keeps his own bees, which produce honey and pollinate the crops.

As the operation expands, Fletcher said he plans to establish a sorting shed which will include a commercial kitchen. The kitchen may be used to make chocolate-dipped berries, and to produce honey, both

of which will be sold to local establishments.

Due to the business’ rapid growth, Fletcher and Petry noted that there is likely to be plentiful opportunity for advancement for pickers who decide to stay on for multiple summers. Fletcher surmises that he will have openings in everything from management to sales in years to come.

In addition to the benefit of hard work, pickers receive minimum wage and a chance to sample the berries for quality assurance.

There’s no picking before 9 a.m. or on rainy days; the season begins around the second week in July and ends around the second week of September.

Education is essential to the farm’s operation, and Petry noted that he and other workers recently attended “blueberry school” at Oregon State University, where they learned about subjects such as plant development.

True or false? Once you have chosen an agent to represent you in the sale of your home, and have signed a listing, you should get out of the way and let the agent find a buyer.

False. Selling a home requires involvement by owners as well as the agent. Sellers are responsible for two areas: 1.) pricing the home fairly with attractive terms, and 2.) providing a home in marketable condition. The agent is responsible for preparing and implementing a marketing plan to attract suitable buyers.

Fair pricing is critical because most buyers comparison shop, eliminating homes priced above market value. The agent can provide details of recent sales in the local market, as well as pricing of similar homes currently for sale. This can be used to arrive at a price that reflects the value offered by the home.

Offering a home in marketable condition is critical to a successful sale. Buyers expect to purchase a home in excellent condition.

By performing a walk-through inspection, the agent can provide sellers with a list of needed improvements. It is up to to sellers to present a positive first impression.

The agent crates an imaginative marketing plan that targets buyers groups most likely to purchase the home. Advertising and promotion attracts their attention. The home is thus positioned to appeal to the widest possible segment of purchasers.
