Black Sea boundSouth Whidbey robotics teams sets sights

on Romania for international competitionBy BEN WATANABE

South Whidbey Record

This is the story of a little team of South Whidbey student engineers making a big splash in the world of underwater robotics.

Atlantis Inc. ROV already had a Pacific Northwest regional title when the Black Sea International ROV Competition and Exhibition contact-ed the team of teenagers earlier this month. At the international competi-tion held in Federal Way, Wash., last year, Atlantis won the Biggest Bang for the Buck Award for making a bot that could move, grab, prod, measure and see underwater that cost about $550 and placed 11th among more than 20 teams.

“Learning that it wasn’t just a form letter was a nice surprise,” said Hannah McConnaughey, 17, the team’s public relations lead.

And Atlantis wasn’t invited to just compete at the Black Sea competi-tion held in mid-August in Constanta, Romania. The group, who range in age from 13 to 17, were asked to be the keynote speakers.

“They’ve basically gone from a kitchen table in Freeland on Whidbey Island to the Black Sea.”

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportu-nity,” said Ashley McConnaughey, the team’s chaperone and mother of Atlantis members Hannah and Haley.

For several months each year, for the past several years, Bob and Ashley McConnaughey’s Freeland home has been lost under a pile of PVC joints, wires, metal tubes and documents. The dining room table is covered with ROV materials, all organized in plastic bags and plastic Justin Burnett / The Record

Kidding season begins on South Whidbey

By JUSTIN BURNETT


Yes, they are as cute as they look.

Their cries, their little wagging tails, their bids for attention: it’s the whole package and Vicky Brown, owner of Little Brown Farm in Freeland, sums it up best.

“They are ridiculously adorable,” Brown said. “My problem is every single one is my favorite.”

Brown specializes in goat products and March marks the start of kidding sea-son. The first batch arrived this past Friday and South Whidbey residents have been cooing over Facebook pic-tures ever since.

“Oh....my....God. Cutest thing on the planet,” said one commenter.

“I want them all” and “Cuteness overload,” said two others.

Such sentiments were just a few of the awws and oohs expressed on the farm’s first Facebook post, which as of Monday afternoon had received 135 likes.

Many also expressed excitement and anticipation over what they know comes next. Every year, once the new babies are a few weeks old, Brown opens her doors and allows the public to come bottle feed the infant Nubian goats.

Hours are 3 p.m. daily, beginning April 1, at 1377 Barr Road.

A dozen kids have been born so far, and Brown is expecting about 20 more. That’s usually enough for

Langley to reconsider scrubbing standing ethics committee By BEN WATANABE


Facing questions and pressure from four members of the disbanded Langley Ethics Commission, the city council agreed Monday night to take another look at its ethics code and ethics training.

Ann Medlock spear-headed the effort to get the Langley City Council to reconsider its decision to remove a standing ethics board.

“The commission voted to have one, it was in the code,” Medlock said in a phone interview before the city council meeting. “It was a tight argument, pros and cons.”

“Given Langley’s history, the votes prevailed that we needed an ethics board,” she added.

Earlier in March, the city council approved the amend-ed ethics policy that struck an ethics board from the process, opting instead to handle an ethical concerns within City Hall or, if neces-sary, assembling an ad-hoc committee to review issues outside the city government.

Having the ethics board be part of the city structure was a sticking point for the original ethics commission. In the commission’s letter dated Jan. 29 to Mayor Fred McCarthy, the four com-mission members wrote, “moving the board into Langley’s governmental structure makes it, we con-cluded, not worth doing. Its independence would be

Avery Wilson, of Langley, was presented with the Good Citizen Award on Saturday, March 15. The award, given to Wilson by the Daughters of the American Revolution South Whidbey Chapter,

rewards and encourages good citizenship in the community.

Wilson said she was in shock after learning of the honor.

“I was not expecting that at all,” she said. “I’ve never won anything so

incredible and important in life.”

Wilson, 19, is a fresh-man at Edmonds Community College studying business infor-mation technology, and plans to complete a bach-elor’s degree in either

veterinary medicine or forensic science at

Brigham Young University Idaho.

Wilson said winning the award helps her know she is on the right track.

“It means I do have a purpose in life and I’m doing the right things,” she explained.

The South Whidbey Chapter has given the award each year since its inception in 1994.

Sally Buckingham said Wilson has done remark-able work training a service dog and wrote an exceptional essay for the application.

“It was amazing,” Buckingham said of the essay. “She connected her ancestors who were farm-ers to what she’s trying to accomplish today — pro-moting patriotism in this country.”

“And making it possible for someone to have a normal life with a service dog is very commend-able,” Buckingham added.

The Daughters of the American Revolution meet every third Thursday of the month at 10:30 a.m. at the Puget South Energy payment center, 1794 Main St., Freeland.

Elderly folks lose home in blaze Saturday night“An elderly couple lost all their possessions except the clothes on their backs when a raging fire destroyed their two-story, nine-room home on Heggenes Road late Saturday evening. There was no insurance.The fire victims were Will A. Darling, 79, owner of the house, and his sister, Mrs. Edith Seigman, 83, who made her home with him.”

Local soldier home on leave after South Vietnam tour“A South Whidbey soldier who two weeks ago was helping care for combat-wounded soldiers in South Vietnam is resting at his home this week and look-ing forward to another two weeks of furlough before reporting to his next duty station.The returned serviceman is James Stafford, 19, son of Mrs. Esther Stafford of Langley.”

South Whidbey Hearts & Hammers is looking for some new blood and fresh nails.

The organization’s annual workday, the first Saturday in May, will bring needed repairs to homeowners who physically or financially are unable to complete the work alone. There is no cost to the homeowners, thanks to community donations, volunteers and in-kind donations of material from our local lumberyards and supply retailers.

But the group needs help and is searching for new volun-teers by March 31 so teams can be formed under the direc-tion of house captains. The more volunteers available, the more homes repaired. Volunteers do whatever repairs and renovations are possible within the scope of a one-day work party.

This year the needs range from repairing decks and creat-ing safe access, replacing doors and windows, to cleanup, yard work, floor repairs and trash removal.

Volunteers will gather, rain or shine, on Saturday morning at the South Whidbey High School for breakfast and direc-tions. A photo is taken of the entire group just before every-one heads out to the various homes all over South Whidbey. They gather again at the high school at the end of the day for a delicious, well-deserved dinner and wrap-up of the day’s accomplishments.

Donations are still needed to accomplish the work. Donors and volunteers can go online at www.heartsandhammers.com to sign up or donate.

Volunteers of all levels are welcome, from contractors, elec-tricians and plumbers to carpenters, gardeners and just regu-lar folks who enjoy the satisfaction of helping and the fellow-ship of working side by side with their friends and neighbors.

Sign-up forms are also available at South Whidbey lumber yards and hardware stores. Mail donations and sign-up forms to H&H, PO Box 694, Langley, WA. 98260.

U.S. Navy leaders want to purchase additional EA-18G Growlers and increase Electronic Attack Squadron size.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert told lawmakers March 12 that he sees a “growing Growler need,” according to news reports.

The move, according to the Navy, would both pro-tect the nation’s industrial base and provide it with the electronic warfare capability it will need in the coming decades.

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said that, “today we have the minimum numbers in each squadron,” which is five, and that, “looking in the future, we don’t think elec-tronic attack is going to get any smaller.”

The Navy is seeking to include 22 additional

Growlers in its “unfunded” requirements request for fiscal year 2015. That docu-ment, which must still be approved by military lead-ers, includes items that were not in the military’s original budget request released ear-lier this month.

Greenert calls the request a “hedge and risk-reduction” effort, adding that the Navy is “very mindful of the indus-trial base.”

The federal government is also “working on things

like foreign military sales to keep that [Boeing] line in business,” Greenert said.

Boeing’s production line for the Growler and the simi-lar FA-18E Super Hornet in St. Louis will run out of work in the third quarter of 2016 if the company does not receive additional orders from domestic or foreign militaries.

Australia became the Growler’s first foreign cus-tomer last year, purchas-ing 12 of the aircraft and

initiating a training program through Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

The twin-seat Growler provides the electronic jam-ming capability used in tan-dem with other aircraft to optimize fighting efficiency.

The Whidbey airbase is the only installation where Growlers are home -based. The Navy started an Environmental Impact Statement in July about the Growler’s presence on the island and at Outlying Field Coupeville.

Ted Brown, installations and environmental public affairs officer for U.S. Fleet Forces Command, said he was aware of the Navy’s bud-get priority for the Growlers, but said it would be difficult to comment on how the addi-tional aircraft would affect NAS Whidbey operations until the contract is funded.

“Since this request has not been funded, I cannot speculate on when or how this would be addressed,” Brown said. “If and when these aircraft are funded and purchased, the Navy will address their home basing appropriately under the National Environmental Policy Act.”

Hearts & Hammers calls for volunteers

Future art classes to be discussed

The South Whidbey School District Board of Directors discussed the needs of each school and how to improve the dis-trict during a workshop on Wednesday, March 12.

Director and Board Chairwoman Linda Racicot asked to begin a conversa-tion about resurrecting the arts program in the future.

The district currently has one art teacher at the high school and supplements

art education with an art-ist-in-residence program, which invites working art-ists to cover art in class.

Armed with several pages of quotes about the importance of art in education, Racicot said the district is at a place to begin discussing the pro-gram again.

“It’s a part of basic edu-cation,” she said. “Art in this community is impor-tant.”

Superintendent Jo Moccia said the board will continue the discussion in the coming months as the directors review resources with staff and budget options this spring.

Moccia said the district continues to enhance art programs, including the music program this year. She said the district is in a more confident position to bring back the arts than in previous years.

Conduct, field use to be reviewed

On the heels of a controversial ban of a youth soccer coach from South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District fields, the parks commis-sioners will discuss field use, among other items, tonight.

The parks commission-ers meeting begins at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, at the district’s South Whidbey headquarters, 5475 Maxwelton Road.

Also on the agenda is a look at the district’s com-prehensive plan programs, a discussion of going out for a levy in 2015 and a request for proposals for

a district study of its staff compensation and ben-efits compared to other parks districts.

Engineering to be contracted

Engineering work will be done by Kirkland-based PACE Engineering, not by a city employee, the Langley City council decided this week.

At Monday night’s council meeting, the body unanimously approved a contract with PACE Engineering to provide professional services, such as designing projects and reviewing permits. Public Works Director Stan Berryman said there was not enough work to justify a full-time city engineer.

“With the current work-load that we’ve got, it’s much more efficient to do it this way,” Berryman said.

Langley formerly employed a city engineer, who was housed in the Public Works Department.

Rather than a budgeted annual sum, the contract specifies the firm’s senior principal engineer, the costliest position, would be paid $185 per hour.

Berryman said he and fellow engineering servic-es reviewers Jeff Arango, director of community planning, and Councilman Thomas Gill liked the firm’s responsiveness and expe-rience with other munici-palities.

Last year, Langley spent a little more than $71,000 for engineering services contracted with Ryan Goodman. Deputy Clerk Marlyne Ray said most of the money was spent ear-lier in the year when the city worked on the First Street waterline replace-ment.

Mo’s to remain in Langley, owner says

Maureen Cooke, owner-operator of Mo’s Pub and Eatery in Langley, said she has no plans to move her business out of Langley.

Rumors swirled after she reportedly looked into moving to the building last used for Harold’s Gay 90’s Pizza. The yellow build-ing, next to the Texaco station on Highway 525, has its windows boarded up. Cooke said the cost, estimated between $1.3 million and $1.5 million, was too high to move and renovate the building for her popular restaurant and bar.

“We have no plans to move out of Langley at the moment,” Cooke said.

In recent months, Cooke has grown frustrated with neighbors who file noise

complaints with Langley City Hall and claim she has been unneighborly with crowd noise outside the establishment. Rules were put in place to govern how many times per year a business next to a residen-tial area could have live, amplified music.

She said that she and husband Bob Trenchard, the co-owner, are trying to find a buyer for the prop-erty and the pub because she is tired of arguing with the residents.

Diking district leader needed

Island County Diking District 2 is in search for a new commissioner.

Robert Blasko recently vacated Position 2. Current diking district commissioners will review applicants and make a recommendation to the Island County commis-sioners who have the final appointment.

Those interested in the position should send a letter of interest and state of qualifications to: Island County Board of Commissioners, Attn: Pam Dill, Re: Diking District #2 Commission Vacancy, P.O. Box 5000, Coupeville, WA 98239. Applications must be submitted by April 4.

There’s a monstrous opportunity in Langley for children Saturday.

With all the backhoes, drills, rocks and dirt cover-ing Second Street, the city worked with the oversee-ing company, KPG Inc., to allow children to see and climb on the massive rigs.

The event, sponsored by the Langley Main Street Association, the South Whidbey Commons and Moonraker Books, is from 1 to 2 p.m. March 22 on Second Street. Several events are planned.

Children who wear a monster costume get a child-size hard hat. There will be a coloring contest with a Tonka truck as a prize. The Commons has “monsteroni and cheese” planned as a meal, and Greenbank resident and author Deb Lund will read from her children’s book, “Monsters on Machines,” at 11:45 a.m. She will also do an autograph session from noon to 1 p.m. at Moonraker Books on First Street.

Monstrous day planned in Langley

By CELESTE ERICKSONSouth Whidbey Record

South Whidbey students got a first-person account of some of the toughest times of the 20th century last week from a man credited as being the only WWII fighter pilot to sink a Japanese destroyer with machine-gun fire.

Leon Sher, an Oak Harbor resident, visited Mark Eager’s Advanced Placement U.S. history class at South Whidbey High School to talk about his experience living through the Great Depression and serving in the Pacific Theater dur-ing WWII.

Sher was born in 1924 in San Francisco. His father worked as a

supervisor at a cleaning plant, but eventually lost his job.

“We ate what we had — a lotta beans,” he said of that time.

His family later moved to Oakland, Calif., and started a dry cleaning business. From the deter-mination of his mother, the store eventually brought in the profitable business to clean officers’ uniforms.

At age 13, Sher went to work at a shipyard, drawing keel plates for cargo vessels, and at the same time worked in a library, earning 35 cents per hour.

“You have to be involved and protect yourself as much as you can. You folks have to make the decision of what to spend money on.”

Sher joined the army one month

after he turned 18. On Feb. 7, 1943 he was called up and sent overseas to Hawaii in the Army Air Corps, a date he will never forget.

During his Army time, Sher pri-marily operated a P-51 for missions lasting up to 11 hours. At 19 years

old, he earned his wings and gold bars as a second lieutenant. He flew during the invasion of Iwo Jima and holds the distinction of being the only WWII fighter pilot to sink a Japanese destroyer with machine-gun fire.

Sher described the moments leading up to the event to the class. During a flight he saw a large vessel just over the horizon near Osaka.

“I thought, ‘I’ll spray ’em a little,’ ” he said.

As he got closer he noticed peo-ple moving bags of black powder to the bottom of the ship. He realized if he could start a fire it would work better than shooting.

“The whole ship went up in flames,” he said.

Sher also took photos of the after-math that were run in a Time Life book. He was paid $750 for the photos.

Sher said he hopes the students learn from his experiences and appreciate what they have, espe-cially when it comes to money.

“Lack of action can steer us toward another depression — it could happen,” he said. “They’ve got to be prepared and they are at the point where they’ve got to think about these things.”

ThanksGrateful for dining support of schools Editor,

I write on behalf of the South Whidbey Schools Foundation. We want to express our gratitude for all who par-ticipated in “Dine Out Wednesdays for South Whidbey Schools.” The program was launched in February and runs through March. Details can be found at SWSFoundation.org

The Dine Out program generated over $1,000 for schools in February alone. It also generated a noticeable increase in Wednesday diners at par-ticipating restaurants, which include Gordon’s on Blueberry Hill, Hong Kong Gardens, Café Langley, Freeland Café, Patron Mexican Restaurant, Mo’s Pub & Eatery and Mukilteo Coffee Roasters Café in the Woods.

Thanks to all who chose to dine out on Wednesday at these establishments, and a special thanks to the participat-ing restaurants. They deserve special

recognition for being willing to take a risk and engage in this new program to help the schools. Their willingness to participate and the public’s willingness to engage in the program created a win win for both. Thank you all.

Sincerely,CHRIS GIBSON,

Board president, SWSF

Appreciative of island’s emergency respondersEditor,

I never imagined it would happen to me, but on Feb. 13, I was the one carried unconscious out of the woods on a back-board. With a concussion and a broken wrist, I am healing well, but that was as close to a serious accident as I ever want. I will ride my sweet horse again, but though I am a good and experienced rider, if I had not been wearing a helmet, I would be dead.

Honestly, I remember very little. I remember Jim Towers, who was run-ning in the woods, helping. Some won-derful person called my husband, who was there quickly and that made me so

much more comfortable. I am told that the South Whidbey emergency medical technicians found us by triangulating to my good friend (and now my hero) Chris Whitney’s phone.

I remember being handled with gentle and professional care. I felt so held and safe. The care I received on the scene, in the ambulance, at Whidbey General Hospital, and in ambulance number two to Harborview, was excellent. The most wonderful paramedics and EMTs kept me informed, kept me warm, washed mud out of my eye, and were truly kind.

I cannot say too much good about my top notch crew.

Thank you, again and again.CHRISTINE NYBURG EPSTEIN

Tomorrow is the first offi-cial day of spring, and for me Thursday can’t come soon enough.

These past few weeks of rain have seemed infi-nite, and the thought of a warmer season is more than welcome. A bit of sunshine will dry out more than my soaked shoes, so to speak.

Thankfully, the signs of a waking Whidbey Island are already beginning to show. Monday’s break in the weather spurred The Record’s news staff to take a

stroll down Main Street in Freeland and we were rewarded not just with blue skies and sunshine, but with the sight of blossoming plum trees.

I’m a bit of sucker for their flowers, which range in shades of white and pink. In a world of deep green, they are bit of light and I guess that’s why I like them so much.

It’s also funny how once you notice one, the rest suddenly become visible. Whidbey Island is peppered with cherry trees and their glow is everywhere.

Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens in Greenbank is hold-ing its annual spring nursery plant sale at 9 a.m. this week-end, March 22-23, and it’s a must-not-miss for gardeners, flower lovers and anyone who is just plain sick and tired of Old Man Winter.

Animals are hearing the knock of spring as well. Last week, Little Brown Farm in Freeland had its first batch of spring kids [see story on page 1]. The dozen Nubian mini goats are a fun bunch and it is indeed hard to resist giving one a scratch on the head.

The farm will open its doors to the public next month and allow families to swing by and take a turn at bottle feeding the little guys.

Feeding time is 3 p.m. daily, beginning April 1. The event is free, but visitors are encouraged to show their financial sup-port by also shopping at the farm’s store. Try the Cajeta, a type of Mexican caramel sauce — it’s great in coffee.

Also worth a try is the Whidbey Audubon Society’s birding field trip at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 22, at Greenbank Farm. Such excursions are pretty cool, even if you’re not a regular birder. It’s a great way to get out with the kids or just to try something new. The event is free and forecasters are predict-ing favorable weather.

Spring is a great time of year, as it’s the annual renewal of the world. Get out and enjoy it — Whidbey Island offers many ways to do so.

against another elected offi-cial was extremely inappro-priate and unprofessional. I would hope that she has thought long and hard about her terrible mistake and will then apologize to both of the elected officials involved in this debacle, particularly Treasurer Ana Maria Nunez.

What I find particularly troubling about this spectacle though is the distinct pos-sibility that Commissioner Johnson’s outburst was moti-vated by nothing but raw partisanship. Looking at the political party affiliations of the players involved could well lead to the inevitable conclusion that Johnson is looking ahead to a future election cycle. Is she trying to help her political party gain one seat or retain anoth-er seat? If she apologizes publicly and sincerely (i.e, no fake apologies please) that will go far to dispel such a motivation on her part. If she refuses to apologize, then I for one will conclude that she is doing nothing but abusing her position as commissioner to advance her party’s politi-

cal agenda.By the way, the next time

Johnson “orders” or “directs” or otherwise tries to “com-pel” another elected official to appear before her to answer to some charge that Johnson has decided on her own to lodge against that official, she should receive the royal raspberry salute in response. She acts without authority whenever she decides to put on her dictator hat and play Napoleon for a day, and she should be responded to in kind.

And before anyone starts accusing those individuals who are critical of Johnson’s actions as engaging in parti-san muckraking, they need to actually watch the video of the meeting. If they do they will learn that Nunez did her job. There was nothing incorrect about the tax state-ments that her office sent out. The software that she uses is the same software that is used by treasurers of all counties throughout the state. Johnson knew that before she dragged the trea-surer into a public forum to flog her. So, if anyone has turned the issue into a politi-cal one, it is Johnson.

KEEP TALKING!Ever have a disagreement

and felt like just walking out? Ever hang up the phone abruptly - cutting off the other party from responding? To sell your home successfully, be prepared to keep talking - no matter what a prospective buyer’s position may be.

When a buyer chooses your home, the fi rst step is a formal written offer. If the offer is satisfactory, the offer becomes a binding contract. Often some aspect may not be acceptable, in which case you have two choices. You may choose not to respond or you may make a “counter-offer,” a written counter-proposal. No response is the equivalent of “hanging-up.” It may leave them angry and confused.

To make the most of every offer, always keep the conversation moving. Make a counter-offer, even if it involves little movement from your initial position. This assures the buyers that you are taking their offer seriously, even though your position may be somewhat rigid.

If the buyers are committed, your counter-offer may be accepted. If not, it may trigger another counter-offer. No matter what, keep the conversation in motion. A satisfactory transaction is the likely outcome.

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM A6

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Aggressive defensive play led the way in the South Whidbey boys soccer team’s first victory against University Prep on Monday.

In the non-league match at South Whidbey High School, the Falcons needed nearly 60 minutes before finding their first goal. Co-head coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins credited the rear defenders — seniors Calvin Shimada and Jack Hood and juniors Anders Bergquist and Bryce Auburn — for allowing only two shots on goal in the entire match.

“Our back four did great,” Robbins said.

“I’ve always taken pride in strong defense,” he later added, also mentioning that the team spent its first week of practice solely on defense.

Part of the problem early, Robbins and co-head coach Joel Gerlach said, was that the Falcons crowded around

the ball, making it hard to find open players. In the first half, South Whidbey attempt-ed five shots on goal.

“Guys were getting in each other’s way,” Robbins said.

Gerlach said one goal was waved off on a handball call by the field referee.

By the second half, the offense spaced itself better and found more avenues for passing and through balls for looks at the University Prep goal. Robbins highlighted passing by Lucas Lieberman and runs by Kai da Rosa as marked improvements in the final 40 minutes. Eventually, one broke through for Bergquist, who pushed up from the defensive half of the field and scored late in the match.

South Whidbey had eight days to prepare for its Cascade Conference opener against King’s on Tuesday, March 25, one of the 1A schools in the league that will help determine playoff seeding.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

A string of untimely mistakes lifted the Coupeville Wolves baseball team 8-4 over the South Whidbey Falcons in the Cascade Conference opener Monday.

Through four innings, South Whidbey looked to have victory in its mitts. The Falcons led 3-0 behind bril-liant pitching from senior CJ Sutfin and a couple of hits by junior Mo Hamsa and Sutfin that brought in three runs in the third inning.

“Early season jitters, maybe,” said Falcon head coach Tom Fallon of what cost his team the lead. “Our communi-cation was lacking a little there.”

Sutfin got the Wolves to hit infield grounders and fly balls early in the game while also ringing up two strike-outs. But he also sent three runners to first base on a pair of walks and a hit-by-pitch.

Still, the defense held through four innings. Then came the fifth that start-ed with the beaning of Korbin Korzan, followed by a single through the right side of the infield. Falcon assistant coach Bill Patterson took Sutfin off the mound and brought in senior Colton Sterba from third base.

“It just snowballed from there,” Fallon said.

Facing his first batter of the game, Sterba gave up a momentum-swing-ing hit. Josh Bayne drove in Korzan on a single to right-center field and advanced to second base on the Falcon center fielder Jake Sladky’s throw to third base. Sterba walked the next bat-ter, which was followed by a fielder’s choice grounder to Falcon shortstop Ricky Muzzy, whose throw went past second baseman Trent Fallon and allowed to runs to score. Coupeville and South Whidbey were tied at three runs apiece, and the Falcons had not gotten an out in the fifth inning.

The Wolves took the lead on an errant throw to first base that bounced off the infield before Sutfin could grab

it, allowing two more runs to score. South Whidbey was able to tack on

one more run, but could not keep pace with Coupeville’s eight scores. The Wolves had six walks and three hits on the Falcons, who had six hits. Hamsa led, going 2-3 with a RBI, and Sutfin went 1-2 with two RBI.

The loss dropped South Whidbey’s overall record to 1-1, after the Falcons defeated the Blaine Borderites 4-2 on Saturday. In the season opener, Hamsa recorded the victory pitching three innings. He was aided by relievers Charlie Patterson, Brent Piehler, Sutfin and Sterba, who each pitched one inning. South Whidbey gave up seven

hits and three walks to Blaine. And although the Falcons tallied nine hits, they left 10 runners on base. Sladky’s 2-for-3 performance at the plate with a RBI led against the Borderites. Piehler was 2-4 with a double, and Trent Fallon went 1-4 with a double and a RBI.

The field, though soggy around the fence from heavy rain over the previ-ous weekend, appeared well-groomed, and was a source of pride for Fallon. Before the season began, he said the team held three work party days and notched 270 hours cleaning the dug-outs and infield.

“We had a lot of commitment and pride from the kids,” he said.

compromised and, in situa-tions such as those that have arisen in the past, it would be of no use.”

The Langley City Council agreed to hold a workshop with the remaining ethics commission members early next month after discuss-ing its concerns with the formation of a standing ethics board. Councilman Jim Sundberg said he wor-ried about confidentiality if the ethics board’s meetings were public, which could put a whistleblower in an uncom-fortable position. There were also questions about the ethics board’s authority or possible judiciary functions, which were addressed by ethics commission member Ursula Roosen-Runge.

“I think it is a challenge,” Roosen-Runge said. “It’s not impossible.”

“If it got to the level of being criminal, we would

refer it,” she later added. Finding members to fill

a board that did not meet regularly was also a concern. Several Langley committees have vacant positions that have been difficult to fill.

“Our concern was that it’d be hard to find people to join a board that doesn’t do anything,” said Councilman Bruce Allen. “They’d be bored to death.”

Medlock, who read a three-page statement to the council about its need to reconsider the formation of a standing board, outlined the commission’s vision for the group. She said the ethics board would be advisory by giving the mayor and city council an opinion on ethics issues, train city staff and elected city officials, meet “only when needed,” and would be available to explain the ethics policy.

McCarthy, the city council and the four ethics commis-sion members tentatively agreed to a 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, April 9 work-shop on the ethics policy.

ETHICSCONTINUED FROM A1

South Whidbey band unites to benefit youth at Ryan’s House

By CELESTE ERICKSON


For six musicians, the issue of youth homelessness on South Whidbey united them. What resulted was the Rainey Music Project, a group of musicians playing for Ryan’s House for Youth.

The band will perform this

Saturday at South Whidbey High School with the funds going toward Ryan’s House — a non-profit organization dedicated to island youth.

Lead singer and guitarist Rainey, her stage name, put the band together for the purpose of helping youth who are homeless. She wants to help students who are trying to go to school and be the best they can be.

“Kids are our future,” she said.“I’m always working for the

unseen,” she added. Rainey wrote the song “This

Can’t Be Right,” after she was impacted by a teenager who was homeless in Seattle. She gave the teen money, but later thought, “Money doesn’t help, they need a place to stay.”

Lori Cavender, executive direc-

tor of Ryan’s House, said she was thankful for the band making Ryan’s House a beneficiary of the concert and for their efforts.

Cavender said Rainey is a talented musician and is grateful the band is sharing these stories in such a special and beautiful way.

The concert will benefit 10 students who are currently living with host families, Cavender said. In addition to the 10 students, Ryan’s House provides a safe environment for students at risk and aims to build a shelter for youths on the island.

Cavender hopes the show brings understanding to the issues young people are going through when they find them-selves without a home. The con-cert will also help the organiza-

tion move forward with the shel-ter, which is something Rainey wants to see in the future.

“I’m worried so much about these kids,” Rainey said. “Everything told me to do some-thing for them. The only thing I know how to do is sing.”

Rainey met many of her band members through other benefits and called on them to perform for Ryan’s House. They rehearsed for months lead-ing up to the con-cert, and wrote 20 original songs for the show. Rainey hopes to eventually record some of the songs.

The group also includes Rich Rorex on guitar, Robert Marsanyi on keyboard, Dave Willis on bass, Alan Brown on drums and Eric Vanderbilt-Mathews on saxophone.

“They are such wonderful peo-

ple, so talented and inspirational,” she said.

She said the combination of each musician’s personality makes for a distinct rock group.

“It’s really quite special,” she said.

She said that efforts put into the youths will come back into the community tenfold as they

grow into adulthood.

“They will come back with nothing left to lose, or come back as productive members of society. We need to take this seri-ously.”

“We need everyone to come out for their future, and the future of our com-munity,” she said. “The commu-nity can’t afford to abandon these children.”

Horse Liniment Erases PainHIALEAH, FL – An ingredient oftenused to treat inflammation in racehorselegs is now back on the market in itsoriginal doctor recommended clinicalstrength formula. According to a national drug survey,the formula at one time became so pop-ular that it rose to the top of pharmacysales for topical pain relievers. But thecompany marketing the product at thetime changed the formula and salesplummeted. One of the inventors of theoriginal formula has brought it backunder the trade nameARTH ARREST and

says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dualmechanism whereby one ingredient re-lieves pain immediately, while a secondingredient seeks out and destroys thepain messenger signal before it can besent to the brain. Considered a medicalmiracle by some, ARTH ARREST isuseful in the treatment of a variety ofpainful disorders. ARTH ARREST is available with-out a prescription or call 877-581-1502.Now at:

most crowds, but in a pinch priority is given to children.

“The adults have to wait and be grown-ups about it,” Brown said.

“Which they don’t always do,” added Christine Maifeld, with a knowing smile.

Maifeld, 24, is Brown’s daughter and helps her mom operate the cer-tified dairy farm. With their herd of about 30 goats, the farm produces a variety of products, from cheese and yogurt to specialties such as Cajeta, a type of Mexican caramel sauce.

Opening the farm to the public is extra work, but it’s worth it for several reasons. For starters, it’s an excellent marketing tool and great way of getting customers to her

on-site store, which is hidden away a few miles south of Freeland off Wahl Road.

Feeding the goats is free, but customers are encouraged to “bring their wallets,” Brown laughed.

It’s also a means of educating the public about agriculture and where meat comes from. A few of the baby goats are kept or sold as pets, but the majority — nearly all of the males — are sent to a slaughter-house for the farm’s grass-fed meat program.

It’s not always easy for the two women, as they spend many hours raising and caring for the kids, but it’s an aspect of farming and con-suming meat that they feel is impor-tant to share with the public.

“Some people don’t like our meat because they’ve met it,” Brown said. “But knowing where your food comes from is important.”

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

storage tubs. “It warms your heart to see

a 12-year-old soldering,” Bob McConnaughey said.

On Friday, the last day of assembly before the first pool practice, the teens busily worked on propulsion, the manip-ulator, the t e a m ’ s i n f o r m a -t i o n a l board that e x p l a i n s its mission statement, b u s i n e s s and bot specifications, and its payload tool to extract a gelatinous agar. Seeing the PVC tube punch through the red cup of agar successfully delighted the team’s new-est and youngest member, 13-year-old Annika Hustad.

“It does work,” Annika exclaimed.

The team, which once had five members but lost two to other endeavors, is down to four. Sisters Hannah and Haley McConnaughey and Chris Wilson, 17, have been part of Atlantis since its incep-tion. This year, Chris was voted the team’s captain, but he is also the bot’s pilot and one of the top engineers —as evidenced by his tinker-ing with copper tubing to be used as a conductivity tester as part of the ROV compe-tition mission. Making the bot smaller than previous years for a mission that will simulate the investigation of an old shipwreck through a 60cm-by-60cm hole was a major challenge. But Wilson said the hardest part of build-ing the bot was finding the right propellers and propel-

ler shafts — the bot’s brass parts.

Up to the team’s first pool practice at Island Athletic Center — one of the team’s sponsors — Atlantis was working to extend the propel-lers away from the motors to reduce drag, Wilson said. Haley was busy trying to find the best way to allow

the manip-ulator, a c law- l ike device that can grab o b j e c t s , to rotate. For all the c o m p l i -cated engi-n e e r i n g , fabricating,

designing and writing that goes into the bot, some tasks are accomplished with the simplest tools. For example, taped to the front of the tiny bot is a common retractable tape measure, the kind found in household utility drawers.

“We found the simplest way [to measure] is a tape measure,” Haley said.

Getting to the Black Sea competition will be no sim-ple task, as the team must raise the money to go. Ashley McConnaughey estimated that each plane ticket will cost about $2,000. For a team that built a bot out of donated materials from South Whidbey hardware and thrift stores, that’s big bucks and takes a quest for sponsorship to a new level.

Team Atlantis needs finan-cial assistance to get to the Black Sea International ROV Competition, and the team’s website — designed by Hannah and the crew — has its sponsorship prices listed and a donate button at the bottom of its sponsorship page www.atlantisrovteam.com/sponsors2014.html
