Port eyes additional marina parking By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record In their ongoing effort to expand the marina in Langley, Port of South Whidbey commissioners took another small step toward realizing that vision recently when they agreed to consider spending $170,000 on a small parking lot on Wharf Street. At its regular meeting this month, the board voted unanimously after an executive session to approve a purchase and sales agreement with Wharf Street Holding Company, LLC. The deal is not yet finalized and is contingent on the results of additional investigation, but both parties hope to close by Aug. 15. The tiny triangular property is located at the bottom of the hill directly across from the Boatyard Inn. It’s paved and currently used for parking. Commissioner Ed Halloran, who is also president of the board, said in an interview this week that parking is a continual headache for the land-cramped area of the marina, and will become even more troublesome with future phases of expansion. When the chance came up to address at least part of the problem, it was simply just too good to pass up, he said. “It’s an opportunity we felt like we couldn’t do without,” Halloran said. It’s unclear, however, just how much of a deal the property really is. The agreed-upon purchase price of $170,000 is more than three times the Island County Assessor’s Office’s assessed 2015 value of $51,000. While it’s not uncommon for market value to differ some from an actual sale price, the SEE PORT, A20

The first of three steel pieces of an archway is placed into its previously constructed bolts. The archway, titled “Inferred,” is located behind Callahan’s Firehouse, Useless Bay Coffee Company and Langley Village and connects Third to Second Street.
Rainbow arch brings color, connection to Langley By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record Artist Milo White had a bet riding that his and Lin McJunkin’s archway would fit perfectly into its previously constructed bolts. He was right. The $5,000 artistic archway titled “Inferred” was installed Wednesday afternoon without a hitch. Using the help of a
crane provided by Vic Hanson of Hanson’s Building Supply Inc. in Langley, three separate steel pieces were placed carefully by White, McJunkin and a friend. White said the piece is titled “Inferred” because the two outer portions of the archway, which reach upward as if they were two-thirds of a semicircle, appear to run underneath the ground and come SEE ART, A11
Legendary South Whidbey coach dies at 92 By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record
South Whidbey lost a respected high school football leader this week with the passing of “Coach” Jim Leierer. Leierer, an influential man known for his wisdom, faith in God and corny jokes, died Wednesday at an adult care center in Seattle. He was 92. Leierer was a head football coach for Langley and South Whidbey High Schools from 1953-1982 who reached near iconic status in the school athletic community. The Falcons won
numerous league titles during his 29-year tenure, including a second place finish in 1979 at the KingDome. He also coached soccer and basketball and taught science and physical education. He made a lasting impact on his family, friends and players he coached. “He’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime kind of people and touched everyone in one way or another,” said Avery Buechner, a former Falcon football player and 2012 graduate of SEE LEIERER, A14

Making good on its promise to bolster back up volunteers with paid day staff, South Whidbey Fire/EMS has hired three new firefighters. The new additions will start July 11 Two of the hires, Bill Piepenbrink and Alex McMahon, were selected from the district’s existing volunteer ranks. The district also hired Travis Zimmerman, who lives in West Seattle and has been working as a full-time paramedic in Hanford. He will serve at South Whidbey in a lieutenant position. All three are part-time and are expected to work about 30 hours a week. South Whidbey Fire/EMS Chief Rusty Palmer said the district is still looking to fill five more part-time positions but is lacking applications. One more lieutenant position is available, while four more firefighter positions are open. Lieutenants are in charge of fire engine crews. Palmer said approximately $290,000 will be spent on the eight new paid employees annually. That number includes salaries, medical and retirement benefits and unemployment premiums. Palmer said the district is in good financial shape with the new hires, with 48 percent of their budget dedicated to salaries. He said fire departments typically allocate 50-60 percent of their budget to salaries. Deputy Chief Jason Laughren said the district brought on the new hires since most of the current volSEE FIRE, A11

“well maintained.” Bishop said he was approached by someone from the Smithsonian in 1995, who happened to be looking at another piece of outdoor artwork in Langley. The woman said she was driving by the hospital when she saw the sculpture. “She thought it was a significant piece of art and suggested we register it,” he said. The structure was originally located closer to the entrance of the hospital. When the hospital expanded about 15 years ago, the piece was moved closer to the road, he said. When Sept. 11 happened, local residents used the sculpture as a makeshift community memorial, placing candles and flowers at its base. “I happened to be driving by the other day and noticed it was gone,” Bishop said. “I was sorry to see it go.”

An outdoor sculpture that’s greeted visitors to Whidbey General Hospital in Coupeville since 1970 was demolished several weeks ago. Officials discovered the sculpture was deteriorating after reviewing a landscaping plan for the front of the hospital, which just changed its name to WhidbeyHealth Medical Center earlier this month, said George Senerth, executive director of Facilities and Plant Engineering. The hospital is in the midst of a $50-million con-
struction project to build a new 39-bed patient wing. It’s scheduled to be completed next year. Of ficials also just unveiled a new sign featuring the hospital’s new name and a directory sign in the
Air Station Whidbey Island. When Senerth took a closer look at the sculpture last month, he said he saw the outer layer of cement was crumbling and the brace that supports the structure rusted. Hospital spokesman Keith Mack attempted to locate artist Michael Park or his family to no avail. The hospital doesn’t plan to replace the sculpture with something else, but the new wing does include a budget for artwork inside. The sculpture was registered with the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Save Outdoor Sculpture program in 1995 by then hospital administrator Doug Bishop. The national program seeks to inventory and protect outdoor sculptures, which the Smithsonian considers an accessible art form and one endangered by vandalism, pollution and neglect. At the time the sculpture was registered, the Smithsonian listed it as

structure was beginning to rust and rot.” The untitled sand-cast concrete sculpture featured quadrilateral slabs of concrete in relief patterns. Three slabs were set into the ground to form a triangular-shaped open room through which people could walk. A bench was outside. The sculpture was designed and created by artist Michael Park along with the help of sculptor Charles Talman. In a 1970 article in the Whidbey NewsTimes, the artist said the sculpture was meant to symbolize “the hopes, concerns and attitudes” of the hospital. Both sculptors volunteered their time to create the piece and the $500 material and installation costs were paid for by donations. In the 1970 story, Park said he wanted to create a “Stonehenge” quality for the works that he estimated would weigh 12 tons and have a diameter of 8 to 10 feet. The work was similar to a structural method Park used in other pieces he created for parks in Colorado Springs, Colo. The article described Park at the time as a young man and five-year resident of Whidbey Island who designed and built homes. At the time, Talman was a sculptor stationed at Naval

Moffatt & Nichol is tasked with inspecting the dock and coming up with repair alternatives over the short and long term. The company will provide options for a two-year and a 10-year fix, along with an estimate and plan for replacement. The project is expected to be completed by midAugust.
LANGLEY City lights could be replaced with LEDs Too bright or just right? That’s the question Langley is hoping to answer concerning LEDs and their potential application in city streetlights.

FIRE/EMS Seven-year-old rescued from tree A 7-year-old girl stuck 80 feet up in a tree in Clinton had to be rescued last week. The incident occurred Friday evening, June 17, at a Guemes Avenue home in Scatchet Head. According to South Whidbey Fire/EMS Deputy Chief Jason Laughren, the young adventurer boldly scaled the tree with a friend shortly before 7 p.m. The girl didn’t count on what it’d be like so far above the ground, however, and though her friend was able to climb down on her own, she froze. Firefighters spent about an hour helping her back to base camp. The rescue was complicated by power lines; they blocked the district’s ladder so first responders had to coax the girl down to about 60 feet. From there she was carried to safety

The technology has been around for years, and the bulbs are championed for their reduced power consumption and longevity. But Berryman told the city council this week that City Hall is approaching the issue cautiously. A single test bulb was installed at a light on Third Street and Park Avenue to serve as a barometer for public acceptance. Bright lights were installed at US Bank in the spring, he said, and the city received several complaints. City Councilman Bruce Allen joked that the issue is akin to grumbling about loud music. “People want to die here,” but this might not be worth getting in a huff over, he said. “The things we get stuck on,” Allen, shaking his head. “I say go for it.” Berryman said the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board is working to install LED bulbs in street lights in every municipality in the state over a three-year period.

Remmen also earned an associate of arts and sciences degree from Everett Community College, where she was enrolled in the college’s Ocean Research College Academy (ORCA) the past two years. A Running Start program, the program places students in a collaborative environment and leads them out into the field to conduct research. Remmen said that once a month, students would go on boat trips for longitudinal studies called the “State of Possession Sound.” From a National Science Foundation funded research vessel, the Phocoena, Remmen observed seabirds, marine mammals and collected data on fecal coliform, plankton and heavy metals found in sediments. As a finale to the year, students would conduct independent research projects on either social sciences or

Remmen chose to study fellow ORCA students and their sugar intake on a daily basis. She compared that data to the general population and American Heart Association’s recommendation for sugar intake. Remmen found that ORCA students consumed more than the association’s recommendation, but were
not above the general population. Remmen said she got into the program with hopes of majoring in marine biology, but eventually shifted to political science due to a newfound interest in law. She’ll enroll at Western Washington University next fall with over 90 college credits and will major in environmental policy.
NO WALKS IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY
WATCH FOR SYMPTOMS
Watch for signs of heat stroke: heavy panting, excessive drooling, weakness, tremors or disorientation. React quickly, if necessary.
STAY COOL
Use a spray bottle to lower a small pet’s body temperature. A little water on the head and legs can refresh larger animals.
“It was an amazing experience,” Remmen said. “It might have been scary at times and I had to work extremely, extremely hard but I am so proud of myself and my peers who were able to go through it. I would just recommend it to anybody who wants college experience in high school.”
During the summer, people are not the only ones who can suffer from the heat; your pets can also be affected. Here are some safety tips to help you prevent heat stroke and ensure your four-legged friends stay healthy and happy.
Avoid exercising your dog in hot weather. Opt instead for a walk in the late evening or early morning.
HYDRATION
Prevent dehydration by making sure your dog or cat always has access to fresh water in sufficient quantities.
IN THE CAR
Never leave your pet alone in the car or in a poorly ventilated room, even if the windows are slightly open and it’s only for a few minutes. Also, if you go on any long trips, stop at least every two hours to give your pet some fresh air and a drink.
AVOID HOT SURFACES
Be careful during heat waves; hot sidewalks can injure animals’ paws.
SHADE IS A MUST
TRIM LONG HAIR
Make sure your pet has access to a shady spot at all times; adjust the length of the leash as needed.
If you have a long-haired pet, have its coat trimmed to help it stay cooler.

Editorial Sculpture no Picasso, but public should have been asked Art is like beauty — its qualities are often in the eye of the beholder. That’s only true, of course, when there’s actually something to behold, and that’s no longer the case at WhidbeyHealth Medical Center, the Coupeville facility formerly known as Whidbey General Hospital. A rather unique-looking sculpture that decorated the hospital’s entrance for more than 45 years, and ironically one that was registered with the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Save Outdoor Sculpture program, was recently bulldozed. It’s a shame. And not just because a rather old piece of art was lost, one that was donated to the hospital, but because no one knew about it until after the fact. Hospital officials say the piece, created in 1970 by Michael Park along with the help of sculptor Charles Talman, was destroyed because of safety concerns. Made of large sandcast concrete slabs, a metal brace inside the structure had begun to “rust and rot.” The outer layer of cement was also beginning to crumble, a hospital official said. These do not sound like insurmountable obstacles to us, especially for a hospital district currently engaged in a $50 million expansion project. It seems improbable that the small army of experts nearby couldn’t have fabricated a new support. But more disturbing is the fact that the public had no idea this piece of art was being considered for destruction until after the fact. It’s unrealistic to believe that all public art can or should be preserved in perpetuity, but it seems more than reasonable to at least ask the people holding the purse strings what they think. Case in point, Langley is considering a business owner’s request about whether or not to remove the old pine tree at Boy and Dog Park on First Street. Similarly, it’s going to lengths to give the public a taste of what life might be like under LED street lights. The city has installed a test bulb and asked for public feedback before summarily making the switch to the nearly 100 lights scattered across town. Such steps may seem unnecessary or downright silly to some, but they are not. It’s a demonstration of respect to the people elected officials have sworn to represent, and a statement that says, “We care what you think enough that we’re willing to ask.” In our book, that’s something to be applauded. Hospital officials may not have considered this piece a Picasso, perhaps even a blemish on the district’s future facility and new name, but members of the public may have had a different opinion. They should have been asked.

Superintendent raise seems unjustifiable
Response
Editor, We’re wondering how the South Whidbey School District can justify giving the superintendent another large salary increase while at the same time letting teachers go. We understand her job is important, but teachers have such an impact on young people. We’re especially sad to learn that Mr. Delmedico, the band teacher at Langley Middle School is one of those teachers being let go. Our grandson is in the middle school band, so we’ve seen firsthand what a wonderful job Mr. Delmedico is doing. We’ve been to his concerts and fundraisers, and are so impressed with his energy and enthusiasm. And, the music he elicits from the students is amazing. Their performance

Military pay not as bad as you might think Editor, I would like to respond to Jim Thompson’s letter of June 11, decrying the unfairness of a $15 minimum wage to our military. Quite frankly, at first I was shocked to think that our service members put their lives on the line for only $18,000 a year compared to a fry cook making $31,000 a year at $15 per hour. So I decided to do a little math myself. Unlike the fry cook, a single E1 private in Oak Harbor receives a basic allowance for housing that starts at $891 per month, or $10,000 year. The E1 private will also receive complete healthcare coverage and medical

care at no cost. At $31,000 year, the fry cook is only eligible for a high deductible health insurance plan that will cost at least $181 per month, thus reducing their annual income by at least $2,172 (if they do not actually need any healthcare). Thus, using Mr. Thompson’s figures plus numbers from government tables for housing and health insurance, the E1 private makes the equivalent of $31,242 without taking into account any other benefits of military service, such as college education options. And while the E1 private is guaranteed full pay for his/her enlistment, the minimum wage employee has no such guarantee, and likely does not even get to work 40 hours per week. Also, I’d like to point out that an E1 private often enters the military fresh out of high school with the same set of “minimum skills” as a fry cook. Mr. Thompson makes two critiSEE MORE LETTERS, A7

The caller was not ready to report it as a theft but would like to speak with police. 1:27 p.m. — A caller on Chris Mar Lane in Freeland said he just had a confrontation with a neighbor about a dog defecating in his yard.
9:54 a.m. — A caller at Dan Porter Park in Clinton said a female was there with a syringe and looked like she was getting ready to “shoot up.” She took off when the caller pulled up. 6:53 p.m. — A caller on Guemes Avenue in Clinton advised that her daughter is stuck about 80 feet up a tree.

cal assumptions regarding the motivation of either the service member or the fry cook when he assumes that all fry cooks desire a job requiring “minimum skills,” or that all service members join the military for the altruistic reason of serving our country. Even in his day, not every enlistee volunteered out of a desire to serve our country, and the same is still true today. Perhaps our country’s service members would be better served if Mr. Thompson advocated for them to receive better wages and benefits rather than grinding the poor beneath his boot-heel.

More needs to be done by Larsen on gun violence Editor, This is an open letter to Congressman Rick Larsen, a Second Congressional District Democrat. In a blog post from Thursday, you wrote that, “The shooting in Orlando broke my heart…. The feeling was depressingly familiar. I felt it in 2008 after the shooting spree in Skagit County. I felt it in 2012 after the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. And I felt it in 2014 after the shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School.” Congressman, the question isn’t whether we all feel sadness over the deaths in Orlando, Oregon, Skagit County, Newtown and Marysville. All of us certainly do, and we are sure your sadness is genu-
climbed up on her own but is now too scared to come down. 8:20 p.m. — A caller on Four Eagles Lane in Greenbank advised she saw a message on a computer from a son to a father that said “mission accomplished” concerning a recent fire.
SATURDAY, JUNE 18 6:41 p.m. — A caller on Cultus Bay Road reported a female who is trying to kick in his door.
SUNDAY, JUNE 19 Noon — A caller at Ken’s
Well then, let’s see some action, Congressman. Do something. I may oppose you on it, I may not. It all depends on what you do. As you also wrote: “But for my constituents, hundreds of whom have contacted me since last Sunday, hearing their elected officials express heartbreak is not enough. Nor should it be. Rightly, the people of Washington’s Second Congressional District and the American people at large are demanding that Congress do something to address gun violence.” You’re right. Now let’s see you do something about it. Let’s see you sponsor your legislation to address gun violence. Then you and I can have the debate the voters of the Second District want and deserve. We’re waiting.
ine, your compassion real. The question is: What have you done about it? In the same blog post on Thursday, you wrote, “That is why I am continuing my efforts in Congress to pass commonsense gun safety legislation.” What efforts? Since you have been a member of Congress, you have sponsored no legislation whatever to, in any way, address the issue of gun violence. You wrote: “I am calling on members on both sides of the aisle to work with me to ban military-style assault weapons, lift the ban on federally funded research into the causes of gun violence and strengthen our system of background checks.” You had ample opportunity to sponsor legislation to address your concerns about gun violence in 2008, when you were a member of the majority in the House. You failed to do so. You had ample opportunity to sponsor legislation addressing your concerns about gun violence after the Sandy Hook school shootings in 2012. You failed to do so. You had ample opportunity to sponsor legislation in 2014 after Marysville Pilchuck. You failed to do so. Now you want to “ban military-style assault weapons, lift the ban on federally funded research into the causes of gun violence and strengthen our system of background checks.”

School district to replace deteriorating scoreboards By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record Time is up for South Whidbey High School’s three-decades-old scoreboards at the main athletic field and gymnasium. School officials say new ones are sorely needed, and began discussing cost and funding options with the school board at its regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday. Maintenance Director Brian Miller provided information on the deteriorating state of the scoreboards and later presented several options for replacing them. Miller said new but similar scoreboards could cost $45,000. Another option includes fancier digital and video scoreboards, but they come at a steeper price tag of $183,050. The purchase would be contingent on secured funding in the form of signed advertising contracts, he said. The main field scoreboard would be first priority. The district currently has $25,000 set aside in its capital projects budget to pay for

for short-term advertising are still being worked out, Miller said in a phone interview Friday afternoon. “If we can secure contracts that cover 75 percent of the difference, that would be enough to go forward and we would continue to market that difference,” Miller said. “We could work this any way that makes sense to the district that we feel we could sell and work with the community.” “Basically the idea is to find a limited number of relatively high donations from business or commu-
ing plan proposed by Miller and community member Jon Chapman at the meeting. The plan would allow businesses to purchase long-term advertising on the back of the football field’s press box and main gym wall, and short-term advertising on the video scoreboards. The revenue would be used to make up the difference in cost for the video scoreboards. For long-term advertising, payments could be made over three to four years and buy advertising space on the stadium or gym for 20 years. Payment plans

paper, they’ve agreed and we feel confident that we’ve reduced our risk.” Chapman said after the meeting that the scoreboard was brand new when he was a freshman at the high school, and that helping the football program is one of his incentives for undertaking the project. He added that he’s also a track and field junkie and was inspired by King’s High School’s state-of-the-art scoreboard systems while watching his son, Carl Henry Chapman, competing for Langley Middle School. “We have a new track here and I think they’re maybe talking about a new football field in the near future, so the scoreboard needs to be replaced,” Jon Chapman said. “I think people just see it and think it’s time for it to be replaced.” South Whidbey High School Athletic Director Paul Lagerstedt said the need to replace the main field’s scoreboard became apparent during the Falcons’ opening football game in September, as the scoreboard failed completely just prior to halftime. Miller said the main gym’s scoreboard had frequent problems with an increasing number of lights that became damaged or corroded and cannot be replaced. Widespread agreement amongst the board of directors was evident that the
scoreboards needed replacing, as they authorized Chapman and Miller to move forward with more information-gathering. Chapman will provide the results of his community business contacts at the district’s next workshop in July.

SUMMER FUN FOR WHIDBEY KIDS By KYLE JENSEN South Whidbey Record
School is out, the sun is shining and summer is officially here. While the adults still have to work the same schedules, the little ones need to be sent to summer camp where they can be kids and learn from the South End’s many childhood educators. South Whidbey is home to a range of summer camps that are available throughout the season and offer something different from program to program. Whether your child likes to play in the dirt outside or learn an instrument, the opportunities are plentiful. Specialized camps are littered throughout the island, such as musical programs with Island Strings, Bible camps and sports camps. But at Full Moon Rising Farm, kids have the space to get down and dirty in the heavily wooded areas Kyle Jensen / The Record surrounding Double Bluff.

And it seems to be working. Washington Early Achievers, a statewide research-based program that provides resources to child care providers, gave Whidbey Island Children’s Center a level four out of five rating. According to an early achievers pamphlet, the rating is given to programs that create rich learning environments and curriculum while including parents in their child’s learning process. “I’m a big believer in the curriculum and self-directed play,” parent Stephanie Lorber said. “The center feels like family and is super helpful in terms of parenting advice and situational help such as relationship skills.” The 35-year-old children’s center has programs for kids aged 1 to 13. Contracts are signed on a twelve-month basis other than the summer programs for school aged children, which run through the summertime. Located on Sixth Street near Cascade Avenue, the children’s center engages kids in activities such as field trips, music, picnics and walks to the beach. The center has adopted a tree down the street from their building that they visit regularly to learn about the changes it goes through as it ages and the seasons transition. The engaging curriculum has won over generations of families. “We’re on our second generation of families,” Barker said. “A lot of our parents and teachers came here as little kids, and now they’re sending their kids our way.” The children’s center can hold 49 kids on any given day.

out the other end. Though there is still a little work left to be done, such as applying powder coating on the glass, White and McJunkin were visibly relieved and excited to see the archway successfully installed. “Relieved is probably the best way of putting it,” White said. “It’s one of my babies, that’s for sure. It feels good to have it get home.” The archway is considered by Langley Arts Commission Chairman Frank Rose to be another step in revitalizing the area behind Callahan’s Firehouse, Useless Bay Coffee Company and Langley Village known as Clyde Alley into a pedestrian
corridor ringed with art by local artists, similar to what is currently displayed on Second Street. The construction process took five to six months from start to finish. White was in charge of creating the steel frame while McJunkin fitted “cells” scattered across the archway with colored glass that will react differently to sunlight throughout the day. Originally expected to be completed in April, White said delays occurred due to glass molds not fitting into the already-crafted cells on the steel archway. The glass was molded using Computer Numeric Control, or CNC, machining. “We kept testing to figure that out and finally got to the point where we’re comfortable with the results,” White
WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM
said. “We’ve been doing pieces similar to this, but nothing this large.” “This is a larger piece and more ambitious by a long shot,” he added. McJunkin was slightly nervous during the installation phase of the archway, which she said is the part she has “nightmares” about. All of that washed away once the crane lowered the components of the archway. “I’m so excited,” McJunkin said. “This is the biggest thing we’ve done together so far. I’m so grateful for Frank [Rose] and the commission for giving us this chance.” McJunkin said that few people have put glass and steel together due to issues with expansion and contraction during the glass making process and the installation itself. She said a ceramic mold helped prevent the issue from occurring, along with proper sizing of the glass. Spectators stood idly by as the archway was installed. Among them was Gary Piper, owner of Piper Properties. He’s lived in Langley since 1969. “Hazel [Clyde] would be happy,” Piper said, referring to Hazel and Norman Clyde who built the Clyde Theater and other establishments after moving to Langley in 1925. “I love it. I think that’s a

lot of work and a very unique piece of artwork. I was amazed that it fit right on.” Rose was also impressed to see the archway come to life. “I think this is a state-ofthe-art technique in mating irregular glass to steel,” Rose said. Mayor Tim Callison said he was able to walk through the archway on his way to a community arts meeting Thursday morning. “I loved the archway,” Callison said.

unteers have full-time day jobs, which can impact response time. He was clear that they were not brought on to replace the volunteers, rather to supplement them. “There was a definite need to bring them on,” Laughren said. “We still have a good response time during the night but we just need a little bit more during the day.” The district is also considering bringing on full-time employees in the future, according to Palmer. The paid hires were a necessary step, said Palmer, and each was selected carefully. “They were well established within their departments and are well groomed to become the next generation of leaders within our department,” Laughren said.

LEIERER CONTINUED FROM A1
South Whidbey. “You can’t define how big his heart was because you’re never going to meet someone like Coach Leierer again.” For many, Leierer’s strong relationship with God was evident. Jon Chapman, a 1985 graduate who played for Leierer in his final year with the program, said Coach was also personable and caring for the students he came across. Though he was around athletes frequently, Chapman remembered Leierer often walking up to students who weren’t jocks. “It didn’t matter who the kid was. He wanted to make an impression on that kid and show that student he cared about them,” Chapman said. “That was where he was living out his faith. He cared for every kid in that school district, no matter what their background was.” Leierer graduated from high school in Enid, Okla. in 1943 and played football for the Navy from 1944-45, which exempted him from overseas service. After the Navy, he played football for Tulane University in New Orleans as a linebacker. He later transferred to Seattle Pacific University, where he met his wife Iladeene. Leierer took over Langley’s football program in 1953.

“Coach” Jim Leierer (second from left) died Wednesday in Seattle. An influential coach for nearly three decades, he will be missed. Standing beside him are Charlie Davies (far left), Don Wills (second from right) and Jon Chapman (far right). Success didn’t come easy to Leierer in his first few years at the reins, said his son, Stephen Leierer. But, as the years went on, the team’s success grew. Mick Heggenes, who coached South Whidbey for 19 years after Leierer stepped down, played for Coach when the Falcons went undefeated in 1969.
Langley was unable to show its worth in the postseason, however, as a playoff system had not yet been implemented, though Heggenes was confident the team could have played with the best in the state. Heggenes found Leierer as constantly being a man of his word. “He was a stallion, physically,” Heggenes said. “If
somebody did 40 push ups, he’d do 45. He was always there to push you to the next level. There are so many things I admired and appreciated about him. He modeled everything that he coached and preached. He didn’t ask us to do anything different than he would do himself.” Though Leierer stepped down from the helm of the

“He probably taught half of South Whidbey how to drive,” Chapman said. But he was never far from Falcon football. Leierer often led prayers at the 10-yardline before Friday night football games. He also pulled athletes aside to speak with them individually, where he would provide words of encouragement or ask the player if he could do more for the team. Leierer also watched countless games from afar alongside Heggenes and other former athletes and coaches. “When he first came here, he was the guy who could beat probably anybody on the team in the Oklahoma Drill,” Stephen Leierer said. “In the last 10 years, he kind of became the Godfather.” Mark Hodson, who coached South Whidbey’s football team for 14 years, thought it was profound that Leierer could be referenced with just a single word: Coach. “For Jim Leierer, you didn’t have to have the name associate with it,” Hodson said. “Because it was the title of Coach. If you’re on South Whidbey and you said, ‘I talked to Coach yesterday,’ 100 percent of people know who you’re talking about.” “His mission, his crusade in life never ended. He was still trying to pass around those concepts of work hard, brotherhood, teamwork and sportsmanship. Those were things that weren’t just ideas — they were his very core of being. When you bleed that stuff, it’s hard for it not to come out.” He is survived by his wife, Iladeene, four children and seven grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, people are asked to donate to the Jim Leierer scholarship fund. A memorial service will be announced on social media or an advertisement in The Record, the family said.

difference was enough that port officials insisted on a property valuation, said Angi Mozer, the district’s executive director. Different from an appraisal, which is typically conducted by a real estate agent, a valuation is done by a certified valuer. Thorough and detailed, it examines all the particular’s of a property and issues. Mozer said the result
should give the port a good low of $37,000 in 2002 to a idea of the real value. If com- high of $64,166 in 2014. Its missioners aren’t satisfied purchase history is more varied.

Mozer said she was the primary negotiator for the port and was aware of the property’s varied value/sales history. The agreed-upon purchase price was the result of much dickering, she said. “We basically came to a middle ground with the stipulation that we’d definitely be getting a valuation,” Mozer said. Island County Assessor Mary Engle said sale prices and true market value — the number the department shoots for — is always

a bit different. A big factor is that county assessments are always one year behind, which can be an eternity in certain market conditions. For example, the market is heating up and real estate prices are beginning to climb, so it’s no surprise that there’s a bigger difference than normal, she said. “It’s a seller’s market right now and people are paying way more than market value,” she said. Another challenge in assessing undeveloped commercial property, especially those on or near the shoreline, is that they don’t change hands often. The county uses that sales history as a tool to assign value, so when there’s a lack of data it makes it tough to come up with a solid number. In this case, Engle said the property’s value has stayed consistent largely for that exact reason. She added that although the same property sold for $318,000 years ago, a single sale isn’t enough to influence an entire market as value changes affect all such properties. Despite the circumstances, Engle said she’s standing by the department’s assessment. “We have no reason to change it,” she said. The state Department of Revenue recently ranked the office’s market value assessment accuracy at 96.2 percent. Harold Hertlein, the department’s commercial appraiser, also noted that the official property identification number on the port’s purchase agreement is for
a lot that doesn’t comprise the whole paved triangle. It’s about .078 acres and part is overlapped by another lot with a permanent easement owned by the Boatyard Inn. Hertlein estimated that only about six parking spaces could be used for the property. That’s about half what port officials had been hoping for. When asked about the difference, Halloran said a dozen spaces would be better, but less isn’t the end of the world. Parking is an issue and will continue to be so, and even six spaces will make a dent. Also, even if parking wasn’t in the cards that space may prove useful for other unseen needs for the greater and long-range expansion project, he said. “We bought it as a placeholder in the grand scheme,” he said. Halloran added that he was more concerned about the property’s past within a marine area. Work on the last phase of the expansion yielded a dirty surprise for the port when soil was found to be contaminated with diesel. Concerned the district may be buying more trouble, the board agreed that an environmental assessment would also be a prudent step before signing a check. “That was mandated by all three of us after we talked around it,” he said. Mozer estimated the price tag of both the valuation and environmental assessment at not more than $4,000. The hope is to complete both before Aug. 15 so the board can make a final decision.
