Temperatures that dipped into the 20s and frost on the roads wasn’t enough to stop 178 people from taking a New Year’s swim in Useless Bay Thursday.
Convening for the 11th annual Polar Bear Plunge at Double Bluff Beach Park, the mob of all ages roared into the chilly water with screams and laughter. While some braved it alone, for others it was a family affair.
“We just all follow great -grandma,” said Jessica Cooks, an Oak Harbor resi-dent.
She was one of four gen-erations who participated in the event under the lead of family “matriarch” Barbara Fournier, 74. The Coupeville resident had made the plunge twice before and recruited the rest of family.
They included Fournier’s daughter, Peggy Mitchell, 55; Mitchell’s daughter, Cooks, 38; and Cooks’ daughter, 8-year-old Kayla Cooks. Family friend Kevin Yagle, an Edmonds resident, also par-ticipated. Even Zeva the dog joined in.
“Barbara started it all,” Yagle said, though Kayla may also have been a deciding influence.
“I made them go,” she said, earning a chuckle from the three older women.
Fournier said they are a close family who “celebrates everything together.” The polar bear plunge is just another way to bond, and is quickly becoming tradition.
It’s also highly enjoyable, and serves as a natural foun-tain of youth.
“It makes us feel younger,” she said.
Put on by the South Whidbey Parks and
Recreation District, the annual event is sponsored by the Island County 4-H Teen Leadership Club.
“Jon Gabelein and the 4-H Teen Ambassadors and vol-unteers did a great job orga-nizing the event,” said Carrie Monforte, program coordina-tor for the district in an email to The Record.
Attendance this year was slightly less than 2014’s 190 swimmers, but still saw a healthy turnout. Supporters from the beach numbered 330, and about 40 dogs were also present. And those who did make the plunge came from as far away as Virginia Beach, Va.
According to Monforte, air temperatures ranged from 25-46 degrees during the morning, with the water temperature estimated at 47 degrees. Despite the cool climes, clear skies and no wind led some people to say it felt warmer than it really was, especially after just get-ting out of the water.
But not everyone felt that way.
“It was colder than I thought it would be,” said River Kline, a 7-year-old Freeland resident who made the swim with his father.

South Whidbey woman shares story of homelessnessBy KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record
As patrons of the Island Church of Whidbey soup kitchen finished their meals, lively piano music mingled with the scents and sounds of lunchtime as one amicable young woman nimbly tickled the ivory keys. Like many of the soup kitchen visitors, she is without a home.
Madeline Lusk, 19, comes by the soup kitchen each Thursday in order to receive a warm meal. Until recently, Lusk and her best friend, Graham, a young man whom she affectionately calls her “road dog” were camped out in a tent near Coles Road.
Lusk has been without permanent housing for nearly two years. Graham has been on the streets for nearly seven.
After her parents died when she was 11 years old, Lusk moved in with her aunt in Indianapolis. The rela-tionship was tumultu-ous, Lusk said, and her aunt kicked her out on her 18th birthday.
Lusk’s story is not uncommon amongst homeless youth. According to the National Coalition for the
Homeless, one study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found that
over half of homeless teens interviewed said they had been kicked out by a family mem-ber, or that their family “didn’t care” that they were leaving.
Initially, Lusk stayed in Indianapolis but soon left for Northern California where she
eventually met her com-panion, Graham, whose grandmother had lived in Brookhaven in Langley until about
a year ago. Based on his fond memories of South Whidbey, the pair determined that it would be a favorable next destination.
“Madeline is a pretty intelligent young woman. I think she is going to go far with support,” said Judy Thorslund, chairwoman of the South Whidbey Homeless Coalition. “That’s what they’ve been looking for, that’s why they ended up here on Whidbey Island.”
Lusk said she is “really grateful” for South Whidbey’s initiative to aid homeless individu-als.

The Fishin’ Club’s 2014 Holiday Food Drive was a “huge success,” according to a recent press release.
The club donated an assortment of 50 food items, including a turkey and ham, to 54 adults and children from 13 families on South Whidbey.
The club estimates that the assortment should last each family about a week. Fishin’ Club members delivered the items to the families during the week of Christmas.
Donations from club members, guests, bene-factors, South Whidbey Lions and Payless Foods made it possible for the Fishin’ Club to purchase just over $2,000 worth of food, the release said.
Announced in the South Whidbey Schools Foundation’s 2013-14 annual update, math teacher Louise Fiori was nominated by South Whidbey Academy staff for the Extra-Mile Award.
Fiori retired at the end of the school year in June after 20 years of teaching.
Samples of nomina-tions in the newsletter include, “Ms. Fiori never fails to meet students where they are aca-demically. I have per-sonally witnessed her teach multiple students math skills, even when they had mathphobia,” and “She is a passionate advocate for students. She pulls no punches, believes that students are capable of success, and works hard help-ing the students also believe in themselves.”

South Whidbey Record
As of Friday, two proper-ties in Old Clinton that were ravaged by a mudslide this past Sunday remain open to property owners.
Heavy rainfall is pre-dicted this weekend, how-ever, which makes the area extremely dangerous, accord-ing to Island County officials.
“Use extreme caution around this thing,” said Bill Oakes, director of Island County Public Works. “We’re going to get a bunch of rain Sunday and Monday.”
County geological experts are reporting that the slide is still active, but Oakes said he doesn’t believe other homes in the area are under threat. The county does have the authority to red tag buildings deemed too dangerous to enter, but it’s still too soon to know whether the cabin that survived the initial slide will require such a step.
“We’re sitting and waiting to see what happens,” said Andy Griffin, Island County building official.
The slide happened at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday on Campers Row Walk, a walk-in shoreline community accessed off Hastings and South Brighton Beach roads. One cabin was completely destroyed and another seri-ously damaged.
No one was injured, but the event was witnessed by at least two people and heard by several others.
“The home just exploded,” said Kathy Schwenn, a resi-dent who saw the mudslide happen.
The hillside behind the home had been having prob-
lems for a couple of weeks, and Schwenn and a friend, Suzie Hong, decided to sur-vey the damage from the tide flats. They were nearing the area when the bluff sud-denly gave way. The friends watched in horror as the home was obliterated by what Schwenn described as a “hor-rendous tidal wave of mud” roaring down the hill.
“We were just shaking in our boots,” Schwenn said. “It’s just unbelievable.”
Judi Sladky, who lives a few houses down, was nearby at the time but only heard the event take place. She was in her house and felt the ground begin to shake. While initially confused about just what was happening, a peek outside made everything clear.
“I looked out the window and saw the power lines mov-ing and I knew,” she said.
The destroyed cabin was a one-story structure owned by Greg Cox, and the neigh-
boring house, a two-story building, is owned by the Wood family. It was also dam-aged, but remains standing. Neither of the buildings were occupied at the time.
Cox declined to be inter-viewed by The Record for this story.
Frances Wood, who owns her cabin with her siblings, said the mudslide appeared to be the conclusion of what was a two-week-long event. The trouble began shortly after the Dec. 12 windstorm
that wreaked havoc across the South End when a heavy soup of clay and mud began collecting behind Cox’s house. About a week ago, it started flowing onto the Woods’ lot and at some point broke through into the home and covered portions of the floor with up to eight inches of mud, she said.
Wood and fellow family members spent several days digging out the house and had just finished up Saturday
and left town when she was alerted to the disaster. She said she was stunned to hear about the destruction.
“This is more than anyone could have imagined,” Wood said. “It’s just heartbreaking.”
She also expressed grati-tude that she had to leave town the day before, other-wise it’s likely they would have been there still working to clean up.
Jeff Bakeman, another neighbor and longtime friend of the Cox family, said a large maple tree on the bluff behind the homes came down during or right after the windstorm, and appeared to have unset-tled the hillside. Bakeman, who helped Cox remodel the small cabin about 25 years ago, said the buildup and runoff seemed “dicey” and that they decided to let it be, which proved a wise decision.
Had people been working in the area they would have been seriously hurt or killed.
“I’m real happy no one was caught in it,” he said.
Muddy runoff from the hill is a headache in the commu-nity, but this particular area has been especially problem-atic, he said. Bakeman and Wood confirmed an adjacent and empty lot next to Cox’s house used to be home to another small cabin, but it was destroyed by a landslide about 20 years ago.
Despite the problems, no one is planning on picking up roots. The Wood family has had their cabin for nearly a century, and it’s become a generational treasure marked with tradition.
“We’ll go on loving that beach,” she said. “It will take a different form, we just don’t know what that is yet.”

Mudslide claims one Old Clinton cabin, damages a second

A mudslide in Old Clinton destroyed one beach cabin and heavily damaged another Sunday. No one was hurt but one of the structures is a total loss.
Santa water skis on Deer Lake
South Whidbey received an unconven-tional visit from Saint Nick this Christmas.
Jordyn Kelley, a 7th grader and Langley resident, donned a Santa costume and took to the waters of Deer Lake on her water skis.
Towed behind her grandpa Curt Gordon’s boat, Kelley circled the
lake four times in about 20 minutes at noon on Christmas Day.
“I just thought it would be fun for everybody to see and have a good time,” said Kelley.
In addition, Kelley said she thought it may bring back some pleasant memories for her mother and grandpa. Gordon recalled towing her mother around the lake when she was a teen. Kelley’s mother dressed as a reindeer.
“It was amazing that she got up in the first place,” wrote Kelley’s mother Heather Kelley in an email to The Record. “But that she kept signal-ing to go around again was shocking.”
“It was extremely cold. I was in the boat in layers of clothing and was ready to go get some hot cocoa after one lap,” Heather Kelley added. “She just kept going with a big smile on her face waving toward the shore.”
It was a proud moment for her and Gordon, Heather Kelley added. Gordon had taught his granddaughter to ski and was hesitant, but supportive when Kelley asked him to take her for a spin on Christmas.
Kelley said she’s a regu-lar water skier during the summer months, though not typically in winter-
time. On Christmas, she said, her enjoyment over-powered the freezing temperature.
Kelley said about 6-10 observers snapped pic-tures and waved as she circled.
“It’s always fun,” she said.
Farm Tour seeks farms for 2015
Planning for the 10th Annual Whidbey Island Farm Tour is underway and farmers who want to be involved need to apply by the end of the month.
According to a recent Whidbey Island Conservation District news release, the tour will take place this fall, Sept. 12-13, but organiz-ers need to hammer out its list of participants soon. An application deadline of Jan. 31 has been set for those who want their farms to be on the tour or to participate as a vendor or exhibitor.
To apply, visit www.whidbeyfarmtour.com or contact Sarah at 360-678-4708 or [email protected].
The Farm Tour aims to connect the community with Whidbey agricultural businesses by highlight-ing a diversity of farms across the island.
“The tour provides an opportunity for island and regional commu-
nity members to visit Whidbey farms and for farmers to showcase their locally grown products right from home,” accord-ing to the news release.
The tour also provides educational opportuni-ties for visitors to learn about a variety of farm activities, including conservation practices employed by farms to protect our natural resources.
Arts commission to discuss funding
The Langley Arts com-mission will meet to dis-cuss such matters as the replacement of Sue Taves’ Second Street sculpture, the disposition of Second Street one percent fund-ing for the arts and the establishment of the Langley Arts Commission funding acquisition com-mittee.

Construction on the state’s third 144-car ferry has begun, and the job is expected to keep Nichols Brothers Boat Builders workers busy into 2016.
“This is a big, big deal for us,” said Matt Nichols, CEO of the Freeland shipyard. “It takes us a long way down the road.”
As it did with the Tokitae and Samish, Nichols Brothers is contracted to build the vessel’s superstructure. Vigor Industrial in Seattle will complete the hull, and once both are complete, merge the two pieces together. The new ferry, recently named the Chimacum by the Washington State Transportation Commission, is scheduled for completion in early 2017.
The Tokitae is already in ser-vice on the Clinton-to-Mukilteo ferry route, and the Samish is
still under construction but slated for service early this year. It’s
currently assigned to the San Juan Islands ferry route. The Chimacum’s future route has yet to be determined.
According to the state Department of Transportation, Ferries Division, the total budget for the three boats is $395.5 mil-lion: the Tokitae cost $144 million, the Samish $126.4 million and the Chimacum $123 million.
The Legislature funded the third vessel during the 2014 spring session, and the subse-quent contract tallies out to about $26 million for Nichols Brothers and its current employee roster of over 235 workers. That number is climbing due to the ferry contract and other projects at the yard, Nichols said.
First and foremost, the com-pany is building two articulated tug and barges (or ATBs) for
Kirby Offshore Marine. Rather than towing loads from ahead like contemporary tugboats, ATBs are designed to lock into the back of a barge to form a single vessel that pushes from astern.
And at 136 feet long and 44 feet wide, these are large ocean-going ships, Nichols said.
“They are pretty big tugs, prob-ably the biggest we’ve ever built,” Nichols said.
Powered with twin 5,000 horse-power engines — 10,000 total — they are expected to push barges measuring 581 feet in length and 96 feet wide.
The yard is also working on a 24-car, 100-passenger ferry for Wahkiakum County. It’s expected to be christened next week.
Finally, the yard has taken on four repair jobs for ships of vari-ous sizes and service.

Violence Begets ViolenceWhile the horrifi c violence against innocent civilians in Iraq and Syria has led many to call for bombings and military actions, there are no simple solutions for the root causes of this violence. We believe our military reactions are counter-productive because they are generating more bloodshed, continuing a cycle of endless wars and creating future generations of enemies. We are also concerned that these interventions are costing the U. S. billions of dollars at a time when that money is needed here at home for education, health care, veteran’s needs, poverty issues, infrastructure and the environment.
Join us for an opencommunity forum on alternatives to violence inSyria and Iraq.
Keynote address by Matt Southworth, an Iraq war veteran employed by the Friends Committee on National Legislation who will share his story, offer his perspective on what’s happening in Iraq and Syria now and suggest some concrete actions that we can take as citizens.

Noise complaintChristmas Day gun shots disturbed the peace Editor,
I live off Al Anderson Ave. in Langley. On Christmas morning, I was sweeping my driveway in prepara-tion for receiving guests. Suddenly I heard, “blam!” Then “blam!” Then “blam, blam!” The sound of gun-shots was coming from the Rod and Gun Club to the west. On Christmas Day! Why? Why disturb the peace of Christmas? Please think about the day, if not your neighbors.
FRANK SHIRBROUNLangley
ResponseFunicular can change Langley’s environmentEditor,
A few support a funicu-lar because it would be fun, draw visitors, provide alter-native access to the marina without driving down to it and/or generate revenue to offset operating and maintenance expenses. No one suggests how much it would cost to provide one or more perceived benefits. No one suggests users pay. Who would pay and how much?
Some thoughts for those in favor to use or modify with facts, not just off-the- cuff generalities about ben-efits.
Most mention the $500,000 grant to help con-struct it. No one mentions the city council’s $800,000 estimate in its official plan-ning documents that was
discussed at a recent council meeting. They unanimously agreed not to change the $800,000 because costs exceeding the grant would have to be funded from other unknown sources (taxes?).
I don’t know what it would cost to maintain and operate. If it was as little as $8,500 a year (not like-ly), would that much addi-tional sales tax be collected from visitors who would not otherwise come to Langley? Langley receives 1 percent sales tax. Most groceries are not taxed. If additional taxed sales due to a funicular were $1 mil-lion, for example, Langley would receive $8,500 after the state’s 15 percent admin-istrative fee. Does anyone think additional taxable sales from having the funic-ular would be that much? If the average spent by each additional visitor was $20, 50,000 transactions would equal $1 million. If 40,000 of those transactions were from visitors arriving by car and there were two purchas-ers in each car, it would take 20,000 additional cars
to visit Langley with those purchasers, mostly in the summer months, say 3,500 or more cars each summer month or an average 120 additional cars a day, prob-ably more on weekends.
Where would they park? Do residents want that many more cars and people in town? If it costs more than $8,500 to operate or an additional $300,000 to build the funicular, are residents ready to subsidize that as a priority over other city needs? For many years!
Where are advocates’ let-ters describing how they see total impacts as a posi-tive for Langley residents?
CHARLIE PANCERZEWSKIMukilteo
Langley funicular comparison is not apples to applesEditor,
Eric Levine says that the funicular project is most comparable to the one in Dubuque, Iowa. But Dubuque is a town of 50,000, 50 times as big as Langley. Their funicular is advertised
as an amusement ride. It has a ticket seller, costs $3 and is open only seasonally.
If you build an amuse-ment ride attraction, you have to control access or you will get people treating it like... well, like an amuse-ment ride. Think local kids riding up and down all afternoon long. You have to either hire someone to mon-itor it or have an automated ticket system to discourage joyriding.
If you are going to use people, you have to pay them and build and maintain a warm dry place for them to work. More view block-age and costs. Besides, if you are going to hire some-one, you might as well use a golf cart.
The automated way is hard to do — just ask the ferry system or the New York City subway. Turnstiles are easy to jump. An automated system would be expensive to build and maintain and have other costs like needing some-one to collect, count, and

The Record turns the spotlight on itself
Editor’s column
A few weeks ago, a Record reporter suggested we take a different tack for a New Year’s resolution editorial. Instead of doing the regular piece about what we think government can do better, how about some self-reflection for a change? Where did the newspaper fall short in 2014 and what can we do to improve?
I believe my first thought was, “Well you can start by going back to your desk and focusing on finishing up that Langley story.” New Year’s resolutions
are like fresh fish: if you don’t eat it right away, it begins to stink, usually within just a few days.
Personally, I loathe them. Yet honest self-inventory is the keel upon which all personal improvement is built. One of a newspaper’s primary functions is as a government watchdog, hence our annual opinion pieces on the need for transpar-ency, but we can and should turn the spotlight on ourselves.
First and foremost, The Record’s single greatest aim should always be bent toward one thing — producing quality jour-nalism, the kind that really matters. Small newspapers lack the financial resources of large metropolitan dailies. Simply put, we’ll never be able to afford to send a reporter to the South Pacific for in-depth pieces on climate change or have a small team work for six months on a single investigative piece. Record staff writers are usually working on two to three stories a day.
But, our handicap is not absolute. It requires better plan-ning on our part, and the fortitude and perseverance to work on the big stories while we’re filling the paper with the day-to-day stuff of life on South Whidbey. We do a good job producing a cross-section of news, but we can do better when it comes to investigative pieces. Our readers deserve no less.
On a similar note, our glasses could use a cleaning for we were late on the biggest story of the year — the financial crisis at Island Transit. We’ve covered the issue in depth, but the truth is that was only after agency officials came clean. That should not have been the case. The construction of a $22.4 million new headquarters was our cue to take a close look at the organization’s books. We may not have uncovered the deep-seated financial problems that led to Island Transit’s near collapse, but at least we wouldn’t have been caught with our pants down.
Finally The Record, like all newspapers, needs to remain flexible to a continually changing industry. Readers increas-ingly rely on online media to get their news, including social media. We could do a better job adjusting to this shift, myself especially. It’s time to put away my personal aversion to such applications and work to better satisfy reader needs.
So there it is, our pledge to keep our nose to the grind-stone and keep the fish smelling fresh. Happy New Year.

deposit money regularly. You also have to monitor the area with cameras to prevent theft and vandalism. If you charge money, many people might decide they’d rather walk, so the thing will sit idle.
By the way, the Victoria Clipper is scheduled to go to Coupeville six times next spring. It’s also coming to Langley five times, even without a funicular. I guess they don’t consider it so criti-cal after all.
I would like the city to have a meeting to explain why the funicular is need-ed. The reasons given still don’t make sense to me, but maybe if I had a chance to ask my questions that would change.
SHARON EMERSONLangley
Let’s get on with the funicular project alreadyEditor,
The funicular is some-thing long overdue that will be a worthwhile and attrac-tive addition to the city.
1. It would be useful for elders and disabled persons to make it to the marina with ease.
2. It would be an efficient way for boat operators to carry gear to and from the marina.
3. It would be a great means for visitors (including many from our own South Whidbey area who simply don’t come to Langley any-more) to visit the marina with a pretty view to and from.
4. With plenty of parking at the Island Community Church, it would save using the lot at the marina.
5. Finally, the business it would bring to Langley’s
economy would be one of the biggest reasons to build it.
So let’s get on with it.ERICA EDEN

Felicia Ananda Williams
Felicia Ananda Williams passed away peacefully
Dec. 9 in Mount Vernon, Wash., with her friends and family by her side. Felicia fought a long battle with dementia and Sundowners disease, which forced her to leave Whidbey Island in 2007.
Born Nov. 12, 1937, in Spokane to Gladys and George Weigle and known until 1988 as Faye Joan Weigle, she changed her name to Felicia Ananda Williams to reflect her love of the Hispanic culture. From 1981, Felicia was a resident of Whidbey Island, where she will be remem-bered as a gifted and enthu-siastic Spanish teacher at South Whidbey High School. She lived most of those years on Useless Bay
near her older sister Shirley Cross. She was well-known for her hiking and kayak-ing, cheerful voice and love of the Island.
Her five years in the Panama Canal Zone (1969-75) changed her life. There, her love of the Spanish language and culture blos-somed. She became a Spanish teacher after earn-ing her master’s degree. She took a one-year sab-batical leave from teaching in the mid-1980s to travel alone through Central and South America with little more than a backpack, often sharing bus rides with chickens. Sadly, she never found time to publish her diary of her adventures. At every opportunity, she
returned to Latin America to practice her Spanish and mix with the people.
In her later years, she taught Spanish at her home and part time at South Whidbey High School. She will be remembered for her love of life, her affection and generosity toward her students, her hearty laugh and her delight in exploring new things.
There will be a memorial gathering in the summer at Artist Point near Mt. Baker arranged by the family. This memorial will be dependent upon the road condition, and will most likely be in August. Please email [email protected] if you would like to attend this memorial service.
Thomas Shorey III
Passed away peacefully Dec. 25, 2014, Thomas was born Sept. 21, 1927, in San Bernardino, Calif.
He met his wife, Elsie, while attending college and serving in the Air Force.
He was a career product development engineer at Boeing, with many patents to his name. Thomas was an avid outdoorsman, skilled archer and bow maker, member of Trinity Lutheran Church and a longtime Whidbey Island resident.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Elsie Shorey, and survived by son, Mark Shorey; daughter, Diana
Boettger; and grandchildren, Sumner Shorey, Emilie Boettger and Eli Boettger.
As requested by Thomas, there will be no service.

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM A6
Obituaries
Felicia Williams
By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record
Elizabeth Austen jokes that her mid-life crisis came a little early.
Nearly 20 years ago, the Shakespearean trained actor and former thespian put down her stage makeup and picked up a pen, trading her acting and dance theater career for the life of a poet.
In February, 2014, Austen was appointed Washington State’s poet laureate and is in the middle of serving a two-year term.
Austen has committed to reading poems and leading workshops for aspiring poets and poetry lovers in all of the state’s 39 counties. She travels to schools, libraries and arts centers to share her work and that of fellow Pacific Northwest poets.
“What I’m trying to do is give people who maybe are poetry-curious an experience of poetry that is engaging and relevant to their lives and hopefully some tools to explore poetry a little bit fur-ther on their own,” she said.
Austen will be in Langley next week to share some of her poetry and discuss her book “Every Dress a Decision.” Afterward, Langley resident and Seattle Times columnist Val Easton will interview Austen.
The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 9, at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts. Tickets cost $15.
The following day at
10:30 a.m., Saturday Jan. 10, Austen will lead a poetry workshop, which is “designed to engage partici-pants’ imaginations, life his-tories and sense of empathy through language,” accord-ing to a recent press release. The class will include a read-ing of a few contemporary poems, one of which will be selected as a model for class participants to write their own first drafts. No previous writing experience is neces-sary.
The cost of the workshop is $30.
Austen’s “intuitive decision” to leave her theatre career and devote her creative energy to writing was catalyzed in part by the unexpected death of her brother. Her extensive performance training and expertise lent her a deep understanding of poetic lan-guage, both in its written and oral forms. Writing acted for Austen as a sort of vessel through which to access and address her subconscious and the world around her.
Since childhood, Austen had sought to express herself through ritual lan-guage. Reared in a devoutly Catholic household, she recalled that many of the first poems she memorized
were prayers, inspiring her earliest writing to mirror the voice and tone of Biblical verses.
“I fell in love with the pos-sibility that language could be so powerful that it could change bread and wine into the body and blood of the savior,” she said.
Though she noted that she is no longer religious, poetry has become for her adult self what religion was for her as a child.
Many of her pieces are reflective. Some are a means of restitution, said Austen,
for past wounds. Others are an outraged response at injustice or inequal-ity. Several, including one of her most
famous, “The Girl Who Goes Alone,” are about courage, either physi-cal or emotional.
“The girl who goes alone says with her body ‘the world is worth the risk,’ ” the poem concludes. The piece, Austen said, is about the ways in which girls are conditioned to fear being alone, whether on a hike through the wilderness or in the world in general.
“It was inspired by a desire to reclaim the ability to go out and make our own way in the world and not have certain doors closed to
us because we’re women,” she explained. “It’s also try-ing to grapple with the way I, as a woman, have had to internalize some of those messages.”
Of “The Girl Who Goes Alone,” Easton asserted that it is essential reading, or lis-tening, for every woman.
“Her poems are almost like a speaking voice,” said Easton, in an telephone interview with The Record. “It’s like she’s talking direct-ly to you in her poetry so you can understand it both as the words you hear and on a deeper level.”
Easton first saw Austen read at a local church last spring and said she was impressed by Austen’s com-manding stage presence and vulnerability.
Easton added that she is also a big fan of the title of Austen’s book, “Every Dress a Decision.”
Austen explained that the title is inspired by the idea that women, and to an extent men, are treated and perceived vastly differently based upon the way they present themselves to the world.
“Poetry brings up core issues. The subject of poetry is often [things] like loss, like spiritual yearning, like our sense of injustices,” said Austen. “I end up hav-ing conversations with people about what it is to be human.”
In addition to her work as poet laureate, Austen has
been leading workshops for the staff at her work-place, the Seattle Children’s Hospital, for about five years. The classes are a means of allowing care providers to express and care for them-selves.
“That’s what convinced
me that people are hungry for what poetry offers them,” said Austen. “A lot of people just don’t know how to access it.”

It took two tasings and several officers to take down a Freeland man who was charged last week with assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.
Kyle Landry, 32, who has a history of drug use and domestic violence according to court records, was taken into custody after he alleg-edly violated an anti-harass-ment order at a Freeland home Dec. 18.
The reporting Island County Sheriff’s Office dep-uty observed Landry pac-ing back and forth from his truck, at times with a large folding knife in his hand, according to court docu-ments.
When Landry contin-ued to become agitated and make death threats, the deputy reported that he was “very concerned this contact was going to end in lethal force.”
Landry challenged the deputy and “stated sev-
eral times that he would kill me or I had to kill him,” according to the deputy’s statement in the court docu-ments. He also reported that Landry flipped the deputy off several times.
When Landry did not respond to officer’s com-mands to get on the ground and continued to threaten violence, the deputy said he called for backup and sev-eral deputies responded.
A total of six officers approached Landry, who “made fists and took a fight-ing stance,” the deputy reported. Two taser deploy-ments had “little effect on Landry” who came at the deputies swinging, the report states. Landry then
grabbed another deputy by the protective vest and twisted it “violently,” causing a rug burn-type injury, court documents state.
Landry was reportedly taken to the ground where he continued to fight the deputies for several minutes.
The reporting deputy said he injured his left wrist and that two chunks of skin were removed from his right hand as a result of the scuffle.
The knife was found in Landry’s car.
The third-degree assault charge carries with it a maximum sentence of five years, though the average sentence ranges between three and five months, and up to $10,000 in fines.
Louise DeGuise Prewitt
Louise DeGuise Prewitt passed away peacefully on Christmas Day morning 2014 at Providence Hospital in Everett, Wash., following a brief illness. She was sur-rounded by her loving family.
Louise was born to Adrienne and Charles Greenidge in Utica, N.Y., April 25, 1937. After spend-ing her early childhood in upstate New York, she and her mother moved to the Pacific Northwest to be close to family. Her father was an architect (which piqued her early interest in design and systems, and she used that innate talent for everything from building a home, throw-ing a dinner party or forming a new community organiza-tion), and her mother taught physics and calculus at Seattle Central Community College.
Louise attended schools in Seattle and Michigan, and in 1964, she married Bob Grant. She worked the night shift in the Emergency Room of Seattle’s Virginia Mason Hospital as an X-ray technician so she could tend to her children during the day. Living in Issaquah at the time, Louise was on the look-out for a weekend place on Whidbey Island — what she referred to as a “sweeper” — a place you could just sweep out. The Grants bought a house on Langley’s Edgecliff Drive in 1969, where Louise created a warm and inviting gathering place that was also home to a variety of dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rab-bits and llamas.
Louise was the hostess with the mostest, whether entertaining a small group of gal pals or dozens of friends and neighbors during a sum-mer soiree at her beautiful home overlooking Saratoga Passage. She doted on her
family and friends, and all were welcome. After Bob Grant passed away in 1989, Louise continued to make her home on Edgecliff Drive and married Dan Prewitt in 1992.
Louise was an outdoors person, loving to schuss down the slopes at Ski Acres or spend sunny weekends in the San Juan Islands. While pregnant with Christy, she spent six weeks on horseback in the outback of Patagonia, South America. The Grants also spent a considerable amount of time in mining camps in the Cascade Mountains, and, true to form, Louise still managed to cook her famous feasts even over open fires and propane stoves. Throughout the years, she enjoyed cheer-ing on her beloved sports teams, which included the Huskies, Ducks, Mariners and Seahawks.
During her 45 years on the island, Louise helped shape Langley and the community into what it is today. Her list of activities and accomplishments is as expansive as her spirit of generosity: South Whidbey Co-Op Preschool founding member; South Whidbey Community School co-found-er; Island Theatre (directed “Barefoot in the Park”); South Whidbey Senior Center Meals on Wheels volunteer; Island County Fair Board of Directors; Good Cheer Board of Directors (where she got her start volunteering for the Food Bank); League of Women Voters of South Whidbey (former president); Langley Chapter of PEO (former president); Langley United Methodist Church member.
On the professional front, Louise’s big heart was also a key component. She served with the American Red Cross 1982-1999 as family services officer and govern-ment liaison, responding to major disasters in the United States (Alaska, California,
Florida, Hawaii, Oklahoma City and numerous other locations) and its trust ter-ritories of Guam, Samoa, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
More recently, she and her husband Dan trav-eled the world with the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to Rwanda, Kuwait, Tanzania, Russia, Bangladesh and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Louise spent a lifetime in service to her family, friends, community and people in need all around the globe. She gave her entire heart to those she loved and leaves behind a legacy of selfless compassion and commit-ment and world that is so much richer because of her having lived.
Daughter Christy summed up how much her mother was beloved on Whidbey Island this way: “If everyone who loved my mom rushed toward the ferry all at once, the island would tip.”
Louise leaves behind her husband, Dan Prewitt; children, Kurt Grant, Christy Grant and Barbara Vincent; stepchildren, Kim Eckhoff and Robert Grant; and grandchildren, Kiley Grant, Shayna Grant, Avery Grant, Elizabeth Grant, Colin Eckhoff and Trevor Eckhoff.
The family extends a heartfelt thanks to the ICU staff at Providence Hospital, who displayed such profes-sionalism and kindness as they cared for Louise.
A celebration of Louise’s life will be held in the spring-time in Langley — when the flowers are in bloom, eagles are soaring on high and the gray whales are back to their feeding grounds in Saratoga Passage.
Remembrances may be made in her name to Good Cheer at www.goodcheer.org or P.O. Box 144, Langley, WA 98260.

Linds will be moving next door to the space between our current pharmacy and Flowers by the Bay. We are currently working with our landlords regarding an expansion of the current space.
We are working closely with Rite Aid to make sure there is a seamless transfer of all your prescription information and needs. You can be confi dent you will be taken care of by the same folks who have been helping you for so many years at Linds. They’ll be wearing new outfi ts, but the same people will be providing you with the professional care you have learned to expect from Linds Freeland Pharmacy.
As we have established our partnership with Rite Aid we have found them to be fair and cooperative. We are sure your relationship with Rite Aid will be equally satisfying.
These positive changes will provide you with more options and choices: Prescription service from the pharmacy staff you know and trust utilizing the most current pharmacy technology, more categories of merchandise to choose among from Rite Aid, and the same service and goods you have always enjoyed at Linds. We hope you share our excitement as we venture into this new era.
As always, thank you for your loyal patronage and friendship.Sincerely,

FREELAND PHARMACY
has been working to establish a warming center at the Langley United Methodist Church. The center will be open when the temperature drops below 35 degrees, offering homeless indi-viduals shelter and safety. As of Wednesday, Susan Gilles, a member of the South Whidbey Homeless Coalition, said they are still working to sort out insurance details before they will be able to open, weather permitting.
Lusk has never stayed in a shelter. She explained that find-ing a secure spot to rest in a rural area like South Whidbey is a far different process than finding such a place in a city. But the onset of winter means a compounded struggle regardless of location.
The first summer, Lusk said, was somewhat enjoyable. She quickly determined that Indianapolis was an unsavory place for a young woman to roam alone and traveled to California where she relished her newfound freedom.
With the onset of colder weather and shorter days, Lusk said, the enjoyment quickly dissipated.
South Whidbey’s first major snowfall left Lusk, Graham and all of their belongings entirely soaked and freezing. Sleeping was next to impossible, she recalled. Afterward, a friend offered Lusk and Graham a place to stay as freezing tempera-tures and harsh storms signaled imminent danger.
Along with the threatening winter weather, said Lusk, living on the streets brings a host of other adverse situations, such as theft and harassment.
In part, Lusk speculated, she believes some individuals behave rudely because there is no one to care for them.
“If you’re that low and out on the street, not many people are out there trying to help you with anything, let alone mental issues,” she said.
Depression, she said, can set in quickly.“How can you take care of your depression when you can’t
even feed yourself?” she questioned. “Homeless people have to work to live, not just work for a living but work to live, period. It’s not easy.”
Despite such challenges, Lusk said she has also received several gestures of kindness from people on South Whidbey and beyond. When she became stranded alone in the Midwest with appendicitis, hospital staff ensured she received more than an emergency appendectomy. Lusk had been hitchhik-ing back to California after a trip to visit her brother when she felt excruciating pain. When she explained her situation to hospital staff post-surgery, the staff paid for Lusk’s prescrip-tion, bought her groceries, gave her $300 for a bus ticket to California and booked her a motel room for the night.
The staff’s generosity, Lusk said, was entirely unexpected and immensely appreciated.
Others often do what they can, she said, by purchasing her shoes, underwear, socks or foodstuffs.
Traveling, hitchhiking or being on the streets may be regarded as a hazardous decision. But Lusk contended that she has learned more about humanity in the past two years than she ever did in school.
She said that though stereotypes abound — that homeless people are “lazy or careless or a waste” — many individuals she met had simply lost their way, whether due to crises or an inability to cope with the pressures and stress of life.
“People just need care. Nobody cares about them, so they don’t care about themselves,” she said. “They just need to feel like they’re not a waste, and then you’d be amazed at what they could do.”
Lori Cavender, executive director at Ryan’s House for Youth, was notified of Lusk’s situation and has been working to connect both Lusk and Graham with support services. Cavender is presently working to place Lusk with a host family. As of Tuesday, Cavender said Lusk is in the process of getting to know a potential host while she continues to stay with her friend.
“They’re both totally open to being teachable, to move for-ward, to get out of that trap that the street has,” said Thorslund of Lusk and Graham.
Lusk graduated from high school with an honors diploma and said she would like to attend college. Cavender said she will be helping to make that possible.
“I have no idea what I want to do for the rest of my life…except not be homeless,” said Lusk. “I’ve watched people die in the last two years, lost everything I owned, had some pretty hard times. But all things considered, I don’t think I’m too messed up because of it. I think I’ve kept my head up pretty well.”
