INSIDE: Falcons’ finale ... Sports, A11

Volleyball team rides out final bus trip

BY BEN WATANABEStaff reporter

The bus ride from Langley to Burlington-Edison covers 65 miles and takes one hour and

45 minutes — each way. That’s a long time for someone who

gets nauseous from car travel unless they drive. Add a bus of singing, chant-ing, sleeping and chatting girls and such is the life of South Whidbey vol-leyball head coach Mandy Jones.

“Sometimes they sing. It’s really annoying,” Jones laughed.

This journey was for the District 1 volleyball tournament elimination match. The winner advanced to the tri-district tournament for a shot at the state 1A playoffs, the loser went home with a fourth-place district finish.

That was South Whidbey’s fate last year on its home court. The Falcons lost a winner-to-state, loser-out match in five sets — the worst loss of Jones’ six-year coaching career.

“I’m still not over it,” she said. The 19 girls of the Falcon volleyball

program, 12 on varsity and seven from

junior varsity and C-team, loaded into the back of the bus. Their coaches sat at the front — mostly for their own sanity — after counting the girls to make sure everyone was aboard and exchanging a quick hand gesture of touching thumbs in the shape of a “W” and saying, “Winner.”

Jones and assis-tant coach Meggan Lubach are both par-ents of young children and are accustomed to racket, but the off-key singing of teenagers can get tiresome.

Riding north, play-ers were quiet and the coaches fought off motion sickness. Sometimes the girls dueled as duets with a pair of girls sharing headphones singing one tune and another duo singing a different tune.

At other times, the bus was silent, save for the whir of traffic that went by. All of the bodies combined with the consistent rainfall made for a muggy bus as the windows collected conden-sation.

Those windows were wiped clean so the players could get a clear view of a supposed haunted house near Coupeville. Legend has it, said Jones,

that a house visible from the highway is haunted by ghosts from a nearby building that used to be a school where several students died. It’s one of those Whidbey Island legends that Jones heard when she was in school, and in turn shared it with her players during a trip to Lynden last Saturday.

From there, the players riding with her told their team-mates, who wanted to glimpse the haunted house on this trip: “Which house is it?” “Oh, I see it!” “Mandy, the curtains are

shut!” By the time the bus gets to Oak

Harbor, the excitement of the bus ride is gone. Players are napping in the back and settling into music on their iPhones.

Despite the importance of the match, the 12 varsity Falcons don’t appear nervous. A loss means the season ends, a victory means one step closer to the state tournament. None of the girls were shaking their legs or biting their nails. There wasn’t even

LONG ROAD HOME

BY JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick may know as soon as next week whether or not he will be facing crimi-nal charges for actions he allegedly took as the city’s planning director nearly two years ago.

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks confirmed Thursday that a secretive investigative process that began in May to evalu-ate whether the allegations against Kwarsick had any merit is now largely com-plete.

He declined to give any hints about what action his office may or may not take but he did say the public

would not be kept in the dark for long.

“I’m hopeful we’ll have a decision in a week or so and it will be publicly announced,” Banks said.

Island County election officials expect a strong voter turn-out for Tuesday’s general election.

Not only is it a presidential election year, but the biggest return days have yet to come and ballot boxes on Whidbey and Camano islands are already being found stuffed with the choices of eager voters.

As of Thursday afternoon, Island County Elections Office officials confirmed that nearly 25,000 voters had already turned in their ballots. That’s just under half of the 50,319 registered voters.

“We’re just a hair under 50 percent returned already,” said Michele Reagan, voter registration deputy for the Election’s Office.

It’s still too soon to know just what areas are yielding the greatest returns as individual precinct data aren’t tabulated until after the election but Reagan said all of the county’s drop boxes are being steadily used.

They are located at Ken’s Korner Red Apple Grocery in Clinton, Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland, at the Elections Office in Coupeville, in front of City Hall in Oak Harbor and at the Camano Island Annex on Camano Island.

This year’s general election ballot includes choices for presi-dent of the United States, a congressional seat, multiple state

The Port of South Whidbey commissioners may be feeling good vibrations later this month as old pilings are removed and new ones installed in a major upgrade of the boat ramp in Langley.

Ed Field, port operations manager, told commissioners Curt Gordon and Dennis Gregoire at a special meeting Tuesday that the piling work could begin as early as Nov. 19. But Field emphasized the exact date will be decided after conferring with Langley officials.

Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick said later he is good with whatever date works for the port. “They have to get that thing done and I’m tickled they’re taking the first step on the marina project,” he said. “It makes perfectly good sense.”

The old “thump, thump, thump” of pile driving is gone thanks to newer techniques that use vibrations to remove wood pilings and install steel ones. That should be good news for people sleeping in nearby homes and inns, as the work must be done at low tide and this time of year, the low tides are expected around 2 a.m.

Eleven wood pilings will be removed and four new steel pil-ings installed. A pair of 25-foot floats, presently under construc-tion, will be installed along the ramp.

“People can keep their feet dry,” while launching and retrieving boats, Field said. Some permits start expiring in late December, so it’s important to get the work done soon. “It’s a huge vibrator with a clamp on it; it shakes the old piles out and vibrates the new ones in,” Field said.

The boat ramp improvements continue phase one of the port’s Langley Marina improvement plans. The first work com-pleted was moving the Phil Simon pocket park from beside the bluff to the beach area.

The first major part of the marina expansion project is yet to come. Field told the commissioners he hopes to have all the permits in order to call for bids in January. A Corps of Engineers permit is being held up by a historical preserva-tion and environmental review by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The port sold more than $800,000 in bonds last year to help fund the project, the total cost of which is estimated at $2.4 million.

The renovation proposes to recondition and reconfigure an existing 400-foot breakwater with pilings, run supporting utilities out to the dock and install a new 80-foot gangway that would connect everything to the existing marina.

Field said the breakwater, to which boats can tie up, will be split roughly in half. If a FEMA grant comes through, two boats will be purchased, one for the police and one for South Whidbey Fire/EMS. They would occupy most of one portion of the breakwater. The other portion could hold transient moorage and visits by larger boats, such as the Victoria Clipper which presently brings summer tourists to Coupeville.

The commissioners ordered two formats for the 2013 bud-get, one with the hoped-for FEMA grant of $1,086,717 and one without it. Gordon explained that no grant means no fire boat.

The commissioners passed the preliminary budget docu-ments Tuesday but adjustments are still being made and they won’t be finalized until after a public hearing Nov. 13.

Angie HomolaRe-elect

Island County Commissioner District 2 (D)

I Support Smart GrowthBy Angie Homola

In 2005 and 2006, the City of Oak Harbor wanted to expand its boundaries or “Urban Growth Area” (UGA), which is a required step toward city annexation. Citizens in opposition came out in droves. Due to overcrowding, the Fire Marshall shut down the � rst meeting. Public testimony and surveys of O.H. Chamber of Commerce members indicated overwhelming opposition to expansion until there is a proven need. People understood that big box stores hurt existing small businesses and reduce median household incomes. They also knew that expanding outward consumes productive farm and forestland and increases emergency service and utility taxes while driving down values and resale ability of existing properties. People were tired of the Build- or-Bust � scal model that bene� ted a few to the detriment of many. As an architect, I knew we could do a better job of balancing the built and natural environments, so I ran to be your District 2 County Commissioner, and you elected me in 2009.

On Smart Growth:The Growth Management Act (GMA) was adopted in Washington State in 1990 because the Legislature found that “uncoordinated

and unplanned growth pose a threat to the environment, sustainable economic development and the quality of life in Washington” (36.70A RCW). The GMA requires most cities and counties to create and periodically update extensive “Comprehensive Plans” which guide development under these 14 goals: sprawl reduction, environmental protection, economic development, affordable housing, property rights, open space and recreation, regional transportation, concentrated urban growth, public facilities and services, permit processing, early and continuous public participation, shoreline management, historic lands and buildings, and natural resource industries.

Cities must prove that they have run out of room before they can “grow” in area. Counties are responsible for allocating growth appropriately. My opponent, Jill Johnson, states, “Cities know what’s best and the County should let them decide”. That is not how state law works. I support law abiding and � scally responsible decisions that will encourage long term economic vitality and prevent blighted communities, unnecessary tax increases and diminished quality of life.

If Counties do not follow the law, they wind up in costly lawsuits. In the last update, Oak Harbor indicated it had 106% capacity for growth through the year 2025; a � gure based on a disputed methodology and old population forecasts. Since then 4,000 fewer people are projected. Therefore, the County Commissioners did not accept the expansion request. Oak Harbor appealed to the Growth Management Hearings Board, an action my opponent supported, which lost on all 16 issues it raised. That’s a good indication that those of us opposed made the right decision about expansion. But the City has appealed to Superior Court with the outcome pending. My opponent supports this costly action too. This is a waste of taxpayers’ money and poor planning policy. We need to grow “Better, not Bigger”.

My goal is to bring the County and its cities together to plan wisely for what we want our islands to look like in 30 to 50 years. During the recession we cut 32% of the Planning Department’s budget, which now receives $162,000 of the General Fund. We cut 12% of the Sheriff’s budget, which now receives $5.5 million of the General Fund. Contrary to my opponent’s claim that permits are down and fewer planners are needed, in fact permit numbers are holding steady. Many are for remodels that are time consuming and bring in less revenue. Counties and cities are not allowed to use permit fees for long range planning even though this is a mandated function. Island County has one of the lowest staffed Planning Departments, per capita, in the state (our Sheriff and other departments are in the same boat). We must begin working on the next planning update now to meet the mandated deadline. We should have 5-6 planners to do this work. We currently have 2.

If we don’t like laws we need to change them, not ignore or break them. I have lobbied for regulatory relief that streamlines and simpli� es regulations while keeping important protections in place. As islanders we have unique characteristics that are best addressed collectively for solutions that protect jobs and the environment. Our local builders care about our community and work hard to protect their investment and to make sure they will have ongoing business. We need to make every effort to support them � rst over outside developers.

Planning is just one area where county government plays an important role in citizens’ lives: there are many other critical functions, with law and justice remaining the top priority. I took an oath to abide by the law in overseeing the County’s budget, health, welfare, safety and growth. I strive to meet all of these mandates and to provide accurate information on the status of public services so that you can make informed decisions about what you want your County to look like in the future.

Some seem bent on painting me as an anti growth tree hugger. I hope this explains my support for smart growth. As for trees: they produce oxygen, � lter carbon dioxide, prevent erosion and � ooding, reduce noise and wind, and provide food and habitat. They deserve a hug.

I would be honored by your re-election vote – Angie Homola

Drunk disrupts chief’s lawn order

Langley Police Chief Randy Heston had an unexpected visitor at his South Whidbey home this past weekend.

At about 7 p.m. Saturday, a man driving a 1992 Buick Century on Zig Zag Lane off Langley Road took a wrong turn down Heston’s long grav-el driveway. He passed two marked police cars before ending up in the police chief’s yard.

Heston was off duty and at home at the time of the incident. He quickly called the police and the man was taken into cus-tody by an Island County Sheriff’s Deputy on sus-picion of driving while under the influence.

“Of all the yards to drive through,” remarked Heston, in reference to the driver’s poor luck.

While the incident has a tone of humor and has earned the police chief a little friendly teasing from fellow law enforcement officers, Heston said this was a dangerous situation that could have turned out much worse.

“He missed my propane tank by about 2 feet,” he said.

Heston hopes this will serve as a reminder to the public that driving under the influence is both dangerous and illegal. He urged people to take cau-tion this holiday season and drive responsibly.

“Public safety is number one in our books,” he said.

Time change no bother to ferries

Daylight savings time ends early Sunday morning, Nov. 4, but the lost hour won’t affect Washington State Ferries on Saturday.

“The full sailing day of Saturday, Nov. 3, starts and ends on Pacific Northwest Daylight Savings Time,” states a news release. There was never a threat of confu-sion on the Whidbey Island runs when daylight savings time ends at

2 a.m. Sunday. The last sailing Saturday night (technically Sunday morn-ing) is from Mukilteo at 1:05 a.m., nearly an hour before the time change kicks in.

Meanwhile, islanders are reminded to set their clocks back one hour before retiring Saturday night. The sun will rise at 6:59 a.m. Sunday, an hour earlier than Saturday.

In responseVote like the Mongolians To the editor:

I recently read a Time Magazine arti-cle about Mongolia. “Voter participa-tion ... has at times broken 80 percent. Herders think nothing of traveling by horseback for days to reach a polling station.” We barely broke 50 percent voter turnout in the last primary and all we have to do is put a stamp on an envelope. Why is this?

Other states are actively trying to suppress voter participation. We live in a state where we are encouraged to vote. And still voter participation is low. Why?

Democracy is more than politics. It requires everyone to participate. The last Island County commissioner election was won by 284 votes. Almost 1,200 Island County voters who identify with the Democratic party did not vote in the last election. That means that every vote has the possibility of being

a tie breaker. Every vote is important. Your vote is important!

You don’t need a horse. You don’t need to travel for days to cast your vote. You just need to lick a stamp and walk to the mail box. Please do it.

Port doesn’t run parksTo the editor:

The Oct. 31 editorial is inaccurate, biased and rude. Who wrote it, and did they even have one full conversation with the Port of South Whidbey? I bet not, since the editorial is so incorrect. And why are they making Bill Oakes into being the saint in this case?

First of all, the port is not in the parks business necessarily, although they are very interested in working together with the county as well as the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation people to make sure this beach works for the people and visi-tors of Whidbey Island, as well as all the public budgets involved.

The Robinsons have made a grand offering to all of us, let’s not allow the newspaper to lead by petty misinforma-tion.

Fun winery experienceI had the opportunity to enjoy won-

derful entertainment at Bloom’s Winery Tasting Room at Bayview Center. This week, local musician Siri Bardarson was playing an electric cello and sing-ing. She was frequently accompanied by friends with guitars, a mandolin and mouth harp. Siri sings with a bluesy, jazzy, getting down voice and plays her cello in unimaginable ways to create intoxicating sounds that I didn’t know were possible. The smell of an old, smoky jazz bar permeated my thoughts as I enjoyed the eclectic music.

If you have a chance to experience Siri, don’t miss it! And thank you to Bloom’s Winery for the entertainment and the future musical experiences every Sunday afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. Let’s support this wonderful business!

In our opinion

A lot of people have mailed in their ballots for the Nov. 6 election but many still have not. As of this week, only about 40 percent of the Island County ballots mailed out in the middle of October have been returned to the Auditor’s Office.

There are only two work days left to mail in a ballot, and on Tuesday, Nov. 6, make sure it’s post-marked that day or your vote won’t count. As they say, if you don’t vote you can’t complain.

On South Whidbey, important issues are at play. Will South Whidbey Fire/EMS receive the levy increase it needs to operate at the present service level? Will District 1 Commissioner Helen Price Johnson be given a second term in office, or will Jeff Lauderdale take over? A lot has happened eco-nomically and politically over the past four years, and how the next four years goes on Whidbey is largely up to voters. If Price Johnson is retained, it will suggest voters feel she’s worked hard. If her Democratic cohort from District 2, Angie Homola, beats challenger Jill Johnson, who like Lauderdale is a Republican, it will be an even more resounding vote of confidence that the incumbents have done well in tough times. If the Republican challengers win, it’ll mean the incumbents didn’t quite measure up and voters want change.

Beyond Whidbey’s special circumstances, issues are plentiful and incredibly important. Obama or Romney? Inslee or McKenna? Cantwell or Baumgartner? Haugen or Bailey? The differences between the two major parties has seldom been greater, so this year it’s particularly important which individuals win. No party is sure to hold its majority at either the state or national level.

Washington voters will also face a host of ballot measures that could result in measure changes. Should charter schools be allowed? Should mari-juana be legalized? Should same sex marriage be approved? Do voters still want to require a two-thirds vote in the Legislature before taxes can be raised? All these and more are important issues, and some are very emotional. Again, only people who vote will have a say in the results.

Whatever your political preferences or your stand on any particular issue, it won’t make any difference if you don’t vote. Be a participant in democracy, not just a bystander, otherwise the system won’t work as designed. Send in your ballot and help make sure only the best men, women and ideas win.

Cast a ballot, express yourself

In responsePort was never offered waterfront

To the editor: I realize that the Opinion

editorial in the South Whidbey Record allows the editor to speculate but, after reading the Wednesday, Oct. 31 copy, I think it’s time for a few facts.

1) The Port of South Whidbey was not offered 300 feet of waterfront property at Mutiny Bay.

2) The port does not and has not ever had an obligation to help maintain the Mutiny Bay boat launch. Island County has sole responsibility for that.

3) Island County had been trying to acquire this same property for easement reasons for many years, even before it belonged to Frank Robinson.

4) At a regular meeting on Oct. 9, the port asked Commissioner Dennis Gregoire to confer with county commissioners to see what role the port might play in future development of the property.

5) My follow up conversa-tion with a South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District commissioner revealed that parks was interested in pos-sible involvement in the prop-erty as a shoreline park and that Bill Oakes had claimed that the smoothest transition to ownership would be to Island County, then development and management options could be discussed with other agencies.

Bill Oakes is probably one of the most capable and knowledgeable people with Island County and Helen Price Johnson has expressed eager-ness to receive this gift, but really, the real hero here is Frank Robinson.

Oh and by the way, regard-ing the “pipe dream” of building a parking garage in Mukilteo, many folks thought Tim Scriven was pushing a pipe dream when he enlisted me to help him start building a park on Maxwelton Road back in the ’80s. Sure glad we chased that one.

CURT GORDON president

South Whidbey Port Commission

ElectionLauderdale offers us a safe portTo the editor:

Two years ago, after bud-get cuts, then-Commissioner John Dean declared, “every-thing that remains are equally high priorities.” This proved that he didn’t understand what the word meant. The present incumbents who are up for

re-election concurred with Dean. They have since shown no improvement in their under-standing.

It doesn’t mean to retain all programs at ineffectual levels. It means that the most impor-tant programs, such as public safety, are funded adequately in order. When the money runs out (or even sooner), a prudent administration would give people in the island’s many communities a chance to perform on a more local level.

Instead of raising taxes, put services up for contract or sale. Clear away the regula-tory fences that keep commu-nity-based initiative out —- the restrictions, taxes, permits, fees, licensing, filings, delays, etc. Get out of the way of the community-activated rule of “customer satisfaction.” This means less spending, less intrusion into community affairs, less domination of civil society.

Services would be tailored to what customers want, not to a bureaucratic one-size-fits-none. Stop obstructing communities’ natural incentives for mutual aid (aka trade and business),

and people will go to work instead of waiting for govern-ment to transfer other peoples’ money. As a side benefit, peo-ple will become tax producers instead of tax consumers.

Jeff Lauderdale understands that Island County government needs to change direction. Reflecting on his experience as a retired submarine com-mander, he has said, “Moving forward is not enough. Ships that go aground are invariably moving forward.” He always brought his ship safely into port; the present incumbents’ ship of government is still tak-ing on water.

I’m voting for Jeff.MelDON ACheSON

If levy fails, tough decisions awaitTo the editor:

We face a critical vote this election in the South Whidbey Fire/EMS levy lift proposition, a request by our local fire dis-trict to raise property taxes by 15 cents per $1,000 valuation, an average increase of $45 annually for a $300,000 house. Twenty-three years ago when the last levy increase occurred, voters approved $1 per $1,000. Since 1989, inflation has eroded that $1 to an effective rate of 61 cents. If voters approve the levy lift now on the ballot, the fire district tax rate will increase to 76 cents, much less than the $1 rate approved by voters in 1989.

But if we don’t agree to the 15 cent increase, your fire district will be forced to make tough decisions which will mean:

Service cut backs, creating increased response times for

emergency medical calls, fires and downed trees. The result: All of us will lose — the public and our first responders.

No purchase of a ladder truck to replace the 32-year-old vehicle recently scrapped. A truck mounted ladder enables firefighters to aim hoses at sec-ond- and third-story fires more easily. Without a ladder truck, our district will be down rated by the state which will result in increased insurance premi-ums for home and business owners.

Delay replacing two fire trucks and two EMT vehicles: While the district can forgo pur-chasing new equipment, the cost to maintain the old increas-es and reliability decreases, which potentially can increase response times.

Closing one fire station: While a long-term possibil-ity, we should approve the 15 cents now. If not, the district will have to dismiss volunteers who report there, and that will result in longer response times for us all.

In today’s difficult economic times, I understand it’s difficult to contemplate any increase in taxes. But the South Whidbey Fire/EMS levy lift proposi-tion is an exception because it is essential. We insure our homes, our cars and our lives. So consider the 15 cents a form of life and fire insurance by giv-ing our fire district the funds it needs to support our EMS and firefighters. If we do, they will continue to be there when we need them.

I invite you to join me in voting “Yes” for the South Whidbey Fire/EMS levy lift.

Letters

BY RECORD STAFF

There appears to be nothing wrong with the Greenbank Farm’s book-keeping.

At least that is according to Judy Feldman, executive director of the farm’s man-agement group.

She responded Monday to a story in the Oct. 24 South Whidbey Record. It was reported that Georgia Gardner, a Coupeville accountant with years of public service to her credit, claimed there were prob-lems with the farm’s financial statements. Gardner refused to elaborate beyond a letter she penned to the man-agement group’s board of trustees.

Saying she was speaking on behalf of the Greenbank Farm Management Group, Feldman said that Gardner’s letter was vague and frustrat-ing.

“For an organization that strives to be effective and transparent, this is extremely frustrating in that we have no specifics to respond to,” she said.

“We have looked through everything we have, worked

with our CPA, and asked as many hard questions as we could think of,” Feldman said. “We are proud that we are constantly reviewing and improving our accounting systems just as we are proud that we have always cor-rected oversights as we were made aware of them. Even so, we have not found any-thing of the scope or severity that Ms. Gardner refers to.”

The Port of Coupeville owns the commercial areas of the publicly-owned farm.

Feldman pledged the man-agement group will fully cooperate with a committee looking into its operations.

“We believe we deserve to hear what the specific concerns about our financial accounting might be so that we can respond. If there is an oversight, we want to fix it. Our community should feel confident and know that we are working in good faith with the port and their review panel,” Feldman said.

any talk of the game or their opponents. That was exactly what Jones and Lubach wanted: confident players.

“They’re either really confident or they don’t care,” Jones said. “I’m hoping they’re confident.”

After the match, a three-set loss for South Whidbey, players exchanged hugs and cried. Their season was finished, and for the two seniors, Hannah Calderwood and Aly Chapman, their Falcon volleyball careers were done as well.

A handful of varsity players rode home with their families that made the trip. The rest were treated to a quick stop at a McDonald’s — a rare event for those living

on South Whidbey, where the only fast food franchise is a Dairy Queen. That’s what lead one girl to say, “I’ve never been to Wendy’s,” as the bus traveled through Burlington, pass-ing several fast food restaurants.

The ride home was noisier than the jour-ney there. It’s a phenomenon Jones and Lubach noticed all season — girls were quiet on the way to a match, then raucous after a loss.

And it culminated with one of the more cliche moments of any bus trip. As the bus approached Maxwelton Road, the girls sang.

“Thank you Mrs. Bus Driver, bus driver, bus driver. Thank you Mrs. Bus Driver, thanks for the ride. The journey was bumpy and the seats were all lumpy, but thank you, Mrs. Bus Driver. Thanks for the ride.”

buSCONTINUED FROM A1

Greenbank Farm asks for specifics

BY JIM LARSENRecord editor

The Port of South Whidbey took a step into the future Tuesday by allowing Commissioner Chris Jerome to fully participate by telephone all the way from Montreal, Canada, where he was attending a business conference.

Commissioners Curt Gordon and Dennis Gregoire were physically present at the meeting listening to Jerome’s com-ments from afar. Jerome was allowed to vote on items, on condition that such long distance voting is legal. The commis-sioners were unsure at the time.

However, they went on to change the port’s bylaws dealing with quorums, which was that a majority (in this case two) of the commissioners must be present to conduct business. “A quorum shall consist of a majority of those persons holding the office of port commissioner,” states the old bylaw.

The commissioners added to the old bylaw that a quorum exists if a commissioner is participating by phone, the comput-er program Skype which allows visual contact with the absent commissioner, or some other electronic connection. Jerome joined Gordon and Gregoire in supporting the motion.

The commissioners had nothing to worry about in allowing the physically absent Jerome to participate in the meeting, according to one of the state’s leading authorities on the Public Open Meetings Act.

“It is legal,” Tim Ford, the state attorney general’s ombuds-man on open government, told the Record on Wednesday. “Nothing prohibits using Skype or other technology.”

Ford said it would even be legal for all three port commis-sioners to hold a meeting from different locations as long as there’s a place where the public can hear what’s going on.

On Tuesday, that place was in an office below the China City restaurant in Freeland.

“If it’s a completely virtual meeting there has to be a place to view it,” Ford said. “The public has a right to view.”

Such “virtual meetings” are becoming more common as technology advances. The city of Oak Harbor recently passed an ordinance allowing absent council members to fully partici-pate in its meetings electronically.

Langley also passed a “remote ordinance,” but it hasn’t yet been implemented.

“We haven’t pulled the trigger on it,” Mayor Larry Kwarsick said Thursday. Kwarsick said the city needs to acquire technol-ogy to implement the ordinance, and that a primary purpose of Langley’s ordinance is to allow the public to view council meetings without actually attending. However, the ordinance also allows council members to participate from elsewhere.

“There have been no remote votes yet,” Kwarsick said. Langley isn’t interested in conference phone calls, but in

computer visuals that will allow absent council members to see other members, the public and any “visuals” that may be presented during discussion.

Kwarsick doesn’t see a time when a Langley city council meeting will consist of five computer screens featuring differ-ent faces sitting on a table in City Hall. “I have some reserva-tions,” he said. If there’s a particularly controversial topic he would prefer that council members be physically present to deal directly with the public. “I set the agenda and I can decide when to use it,” he said of remote participation.

Although times are changing regarding who is really con-sidered “at” a meeting, the U.S. Congress and Washington State Legislature still require in-person voting, but that could also change some day, according to Ford.

“They’ll just have to make their own rules,” he said.

Amid the houses built with the help of Habitat for Humanity, work is under way to help current homeowners struggling to maintain their home.

Habitat for Humanity of Island County is developing a pro-gram to make exterior repairs to homes owned by people who can’t tend to their abodes’ upkeep.

“The intent is to try to help people do exterior repairs to their homes to keep them livable,” said Calvin Hewitt, executive director. He said the program has completed three projects so far, but a lot of work remains concerning the con-figuration of the program.

Officials are still working out details about how the Home Preservation Program will work. Such details include how it’s going to be funded, how an applicant will be involved and how much “sweat equity” a person would have to provide. Hewitt said the support could be anything from helping with repairs to providing a welcoming environment for volunteers and

serving them coffee. The eligibility requirements to participate in the upkeep

program will be similar to Habitat’s house program, which includes demonstrating a need, residency of Island County and an income that is 25 percent to 50 percent of the median income of Island County.

Although organizers are hashing out the details, volunteers have already completed a ramp replacement and a deck replacement. They are scheduled to replace another handicap ramp later in October.

The charitable Habitat for Humanity home improvement program is at least the third one operating on Whidbey Island.

Hearts and Hammers on South Whidbey and Central Whidbey hold a project day each May. During that time, scores of volunteers descend upon homes on Central and South Whidbey Island to make repairs in one day. Until Habitat’s program started, there wasn’t a similar program operating on North Whidbey Island.

Hewitt said he’s talked to people from both Hearts and Hammers groups. He said Habitat’s program isn’t intended to compete with the two groups. However, Habitat may be able to step in during an extensive project or should a need arise at other times of the year.

Habitat for Humanity is still building houses in the area. Volunteers and owners have built 32 houses since 1999 and 10 houses have been constructed since 2010. The organization currently has a home being built in the Frostad Pond develop-ment near Oak Harbor.

When a person is selected for a house, he or she has to contribute 500 hours during the home’s construction.

For information about Habitat for Humanity, call 360-679-9444.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSEDEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact for the Transition of Expeditionary EA-6B Squad-rons to EA-18G Growler at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Oak Har-bor, Washington.

The U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) gives notice, per the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), Council on Environmental Quality regulations in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 1500-1508, and Navy NEPA regulations in 32 CFR Part 775, that an Environmental Assessment (EA) has been released and a Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI) has been issued for the proposed re-alignment and transition of Expeditionary Electronic Attack squadrons to Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington.

The Navy released the Draft EA on July 27, 2012 and received public comments on the document from July 27 to August 31, 2012.

The EA evaluates the potential effects of implementing three action alternatives and a No Action Alternative to support the transition of the Expeditionary Electronic Attack (VAQ) squadrons at NAS Whidbey Is-land from the aging EA-6B Prowler to the newer EA-18G Growler in the 2012-2014 timeframe. The EA considered potential environmental impacts on airspace and airfield operations, noise, land use, threat-ened and endangered species and other biological resources, water resources, air quality, cultural resources, socioeconomics, and environ-mental management that would be associated with an increase in the number of aircraft, personnel transition, new construction or renovation of structures, and airfield operations necessary to accommodate the transition of Expeditionary VAQ EA-6B Prowler squadrons to EA-18G Growlers. The U. S. Navy determined that the proposed action will not significantly affect the environment.

Since this action would not entail significant impacts to the environ-ment, the Navy has determined that the preparation of an Environmen-tal Impact Statement is not required. The EA, including the FONSI, can be viewed and downloaded at on the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest web site: https://portal.navfac.navy.mil/portal/page/portal/navfac/NAVFAC_WW_PP/NAVFAC_EFANW_PP. Copies of the EA and FONSI have been dis-tributed to the following libraries:Oak Harbor Library, 1000 SE Regatta Dr., Oak Harbor, WA La Conner Regional Library, 614 Morris St., La Conner, WACoupeville Library, 788 Alexander St., Coupeville, WA Anacortes Public Library, 1220 10th Street, Anacortes, WA

Richard V. Jackson

Richard V. Jackson, or “Dick” to his family and friends, passed away quietly at home on October 26.

He was 90. Dick was born in Juneau, Alaska in 1922, the youngest of the three sons of John and Ina Jackson. Following high school in Juneau, he attended the University of Washington, receiving a B.S. in mechanical engi-neering. He joined the Navy in 1944 and served as an ensign on the USS PCE-884, a “weather” ship based out of Guam.

After the war, Dick returned to the University of Washington, earning a B.S. in civil engineering in 1947. He then taught civil engi-neering at the University of Alaska for two years, working for the Morrison-Knudsen Construction Company (“M-K”) during the summers. After receiving a Master’s Degree in civil engineer-ing from Cornell University in 1951, he went to work for M-K on a tunnel proj-ect in Venezuela. That sum-mer, he met Norma Jean Perez, daughter of his office manager and a student at UCLA. They were married in Caracas in 1952.

In 1953 they moved to Seattle, where Dick worked in M-K’s regional office. All their sons Richard Jr., Kurt, David, and Jeffrey were

born there. Dick’s career later took him to Dallas, El Paso, back to Seattle and finally to Portland. Following retirement in 1987, Dick and Norma moved to Whidbey Island, where they enjoyed traveling, Elderhostels, hik-ing and spending time with grandchildren. In July they celebrated their 60th wed-ding anniversary with family and friends.

Dick is survived by Norma; Richard Jr. and Barbara; Kurt and Ann and their daughters Emily and Sarah; David and Karen and their sons Mark and Scott; and Jeff and Marla and their sons Ethan and Matthew.

A memorial service will be held 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 at Langley United Methodist Church, 301 Anthes Ave. in Langley.

In lieu of flowers, dona-tions may be made to the music program or the endowment fund of Langley United Methodist Church.

CLINTON!

BY BEN WATANABEStaff reporter

B U R L I N G T O N - E D I S O N — Lynden Christian cast a long shadow before South Whidbey even stepped on the court.

And for good reason. The Lyncs boasted five players at

least 5-foot-11 and used their height advantage to great effect in the District 1 volleyball match Tuesday. Lynden Christian relied on its hit-ters to stuff South Whidbey all night in a three-set sweep, 25-20, 25-17, 25-9, knocking the Falcons out of the playoffs.

“They were huge,” said Falcon junior hitter Mackenzie Hezel. “And we needed to work around them and tip into the doughnut where their players weren’t.”

South Whidbey’s offensive leader agreed that Lynden Christian’s size was a major factor in the loss.

“They’re all like seven-foot tall,” said Falcon senior Hannah Calderwood. “I’m pretty sure that was it.”

All season South Whidbey counted on its hitters, of whom Calderwood is the tallest at 5-foot-9, to score kills and blocks. Against the Lyncs, the Falcons’ blockers were nullified, including Calderwood who finished the match without a block. The size disparity also played into South Whidbey’s struggle to score kills, often hitting soft tips that Lynden Christian kept alive with digs and passes that transitioned into more points.

“Them seeing that big block just put up a big wall for them, and they had a really hard time getting past it,” said Falcon head coach Mandy Jones.

“We’ve got to hit hard every time, or tip hard and not give it back to them. We’ve got to do something

different, something more aggres-sive.”

The first set was the most com-petitive for South Whidbey. As they had all season, the Falcons came out flat and fell behind early, trailing six points much of the set. South Whidbey made a run from a 19-12 deficit. Hezel scored a kill to win the serve, then rattled off three straight aces on her first jump serves of the season.

“I was placing it where their weak passes were or where there were holes,” Hezel said.

After the third ace, Hezel lost the serve with a hit into the net. Still, South Whidbey’s offense rolled into

its rhythm and sophomore Abby Hodson, moved from right to mid-dle hitter, scored a kill to cut Lynden Christian’s lead to three points.

The Lyncs tallied a few more points on kills by junior middle Hannah Wynstra (seven kills) and senior outside hitter Cassie Mulder (nine kills) to reach game point. But the self-described “scrappy” Falcons chipped away two more points on a Calderwood kill (10 kills) and a Hezel tip (nine digs, eight kills and three aces).

“We’re not as, for lack of a bet-ter word, skilled,” Calderwood said. “But we’re quite a team and we have so many other qualities that can

shine, and those came out tonight — not enough for us to win, but enough to make it a game.”

Lynden Christian started the second set with a four-point run. The closest South Whidbey came to tying was early in the set at 7-4 after Hodson scored an ace. From there, the Lyncs extended their lead to as much as 12 points at 22-10. Their offense seemed to improve as the match wore on with kills by five dif-ferent players and only five errors.

“We worked on stopping the Falcons’ strengths and we really worked on minimizing our errors,” said Lync head coach Kim Grycel.

The third set belonged to the

Lyncs. Lynden Christian jumped out to a seven-point lead — only one on an error — as South Whidbey failed to reach double digits.

“The blockers weren’t getting there fast enough, weren’t getting set and weren’t watching the angle of the hitter’s shoulder,” Jones said.

Once the match ended, leaving South Whidbey with a fourth-place District 1 finish but short of a tri-dis-trict berth, some Falcons’ emotions overwhelmed them. Players smiled through tears for photos with their teammates and parents. Despite los-ing, Calderwood was proud of the progress the team made from 2-5 to an 8-6 finish.

“We get mad at each other, but at the end of the day we’re all friends and we’re there for each other, and that can get us through a lot,” Calderwood said.

BY BETTY FREEMANStaff reporter

Chilly Sunday nights promise to heat up with sizzling jazz at the OutCast Theatre at the Island County

Fairgrounds in Langley through December.

OutCast Productions has a permanent home in the historic Pole Building at the Fairgrounds. The intimate, 60-seat theatre, co-founded by K. Sandy O’Brien and Ned Farley, has produced several cutting-edge plays since 2010.

Now the cozy venue plays host to Sunday night jazz concerts featuring local musicians, both well-known names and up and comers.

O’Brien cooked up the jazz con-cert idea with her drum teacher Scott Small, who also plays percus-sion in a number of local bands. Both Small and O’Brien love the idea of showcasing the outstanding talents of students and alumni of Whidbey Island schools along with those of professional musicians.

“There’s a bunch of world-class musicians on Whidbey Island who are laying low and wearing beige who perform in big cities else-where,” said Small. “We want them to perform here so we can hear them, too. Plus, what a boost for young musicians to play alongside these masters.”

The first concert at OutCast on Oct. 6 featured South Whidbey High School senior Sean Leisle playing solo jazz guitar and paying homage to musical master Eric Clapton and others. He warmed up the audience for Latin jazz played later by Bahia that had audience members swaying to the conga beat.

Joining Leisle and Bahia for a few tunes was upright bass-ist Keegan Harshman, 20, who mesmerized the audience with his flying fingering and command of his instrument. Backing up the younger play-ers on drums was Scott Small, who also played with Bahia later.

The first concert was a benefit for local musi-cians Kristi O’Donnell and Keith Bowers, whose home was burglarized in late September. Original music by Bowers and several valuable instruments were stolen, along with other irreplaceable personal items. The benefit netted $600.

The second concert Oct. 14 featured the South Whidbey Jazz

Collective, a group originally formed as a reunion of the award-winning 2009 South Whidbey High School Jazz Ensemble.

“Several of these young musi-cians are now rising stars in the professional music community,” Small said. “Keegan Harshman, son of South Whidbey High School band director Chris Harshman, anchored the group on bass, with Eric Vanderbilt-Mathews doing double duty on keyboards and sax, joined by 2011 graduate Sydney Hauser on sax.”

“I rounded out the group on drums,” Small said. “I have a great time work-ing with these young players because they are so quick and flexible.”

The South Whidbey Jazz Collective will return to the OutCast stage Sunday, Nov. 11 and Dec. 9.

The Oct. 21 concert featured Small again, this time playing with his son Jonathan, a gifted bassist who is studying performance and composition at Cornish College for the Arts in Seattle.

“It’s the first time in almost two

years that I had to work with Jon because he’s been so busy studying jazz at Cornish,” said Small. “He was a good player when he started college, so I expected something really spectacular from him at this concert.”

The Small Jazz Orchestra plays original treatments of jazz stan-dards, plus original compositions by Jon Small.

The Oct. 28 concert featured Coupeville Middle/High School band teacher Jamar Jenkins on guitar and local sax player Ryan Rogers playing sultry, smooth jazz.

“Jamar Jenkins, aka ‘Mr. J.,’ has roots in jazz funk that go all the way back to the legendary Seattle band ‘Cold, Bold and Together,’ the group that launched Kenny G’s career,” Small said.

Bahia will be back Nov. 4 and Dec 3, and Jenkins and Rogers will

reappear Nov. 25 and Dec. 23. In between repeat performers,

the concert series welcomes singer Eleanor Fye and Friends on Nov. 18, and virtuoso jazz guitarist Troy Chapman on Dec. 16.

Concert profits benefit the musicians, with a small fee to use OutCast Productions’ lighting equipment. Admission costs $10 for adults, $5 for students. A listing of performers and concert dates can be found at outcastproductions.net.

“We want people to come and see all the bands,” O’Brien said. “The jazz series will be a success if we can establish a loyal, regular audience for these concerts. And what I love most about this idea is having a student act to open each performance.”

“It’s a real, professional gig for these young musicians,” Small said.

OutCast Productions attracts local jazz musicians to brighten winter evenings with concerts every Sunday

Kwarsick, who has remained largely mum about the details of the allegations leveled against him, has maintained from the begin-ning that he does not believe he did anything wrong.

“My whole career I’ve lived on strong principles of integrity and I think I’ve honored that the whole way through,” Kwarsick said.

He did confirm, however, that he has hired an attor-ney.

“It’s not something I had been hoping to do but … That’s the reality,” Kwarsick said.

A former Langley plan-ning director and the cur-rent part-time planner for

Coupeville, Kwarsick was just four months into his first term as Langley mayor when he became the subject of a whistleblower complaint.

Langley’s current plan-ning chief Jeff Arango alleged in a memo to the City Council that Kwarsick had altered previously com-pleted planning documents for a family member’s home in early 2011 shortly after he was hired as city planner.

The City Council dis-cussed the complaint behind closed doors in a string of special meetings before referring the issue to the prosecutor’s office for fur-ther review. That was five months ago.

According to Banks, the investigation that followed used a combination of meth-ods to gather information,

from traditional police prac-tices to use of the special inquiry judge process.

A tool outlined under the Criminal Investigatory Act of 1971, the process can be used to compel people to tes-tify and gather documents or non-testimonial evidence without having to acquire search warrants.

The process is overseen by a special inquiry judge and is closed to the public.

“Everything is effectively sealed while it’s going on,” Banks said.

However, a judge can open records of the proceed-ings later if asked. Banks said he plans to make that request once the investiga-tive process is concluded so the public will know just what transpired.

While this could be just the start of Kwarsick’s legal troubles, the mayor said he is hopeful of a favorable decision and is eager to put this behind him. However, he said he hasn’t had any communi-cation with Banks and has no idea how the prosecu-tor will proceed.

“I certainly hope for the best,” Kwarsick said.

offices including the race for governor, sev-eral county positions and a handful of state and local measures.

On the federal side, incumbent Democrat Rick Larsen is being challenged by Republican Dan Matthews for the District 2 congressional seat.

In the state Legislature, incumbent Norma Smith, R-Clinton, is hoping to retain Position 1 against political newcomer Aaron Simpson, D-Langley, while Tom Riggs, D-Camano and Dave Hayes, R-Camano, are vying for Position 2.

Incumbent Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano, is also fighting to keep the District 10 Senate seat against challenger Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor.

In Island County commissioner races, Republican Jeff Lauderdale is hoping to unseat Democrat Helen Price Johnson in District 1. Republican Jill Johnson is attempting to do the same to incumbent Democrat Angie Homola in District 2.

Along with several state initiatives and ref-erendums, South Whidbey voters will decide on a South Whidbey Fire/EMS levy lift propo-sition. The request is to raise the levy rate from about 61 cents to 76 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to pay for existing operations.

Reagan said the largest daily returns occur the day before, the day of and the day after the election. Presidential years historically yield the greatest voter turnout. If the pattern holds true, participation should near 90 percent.

General elections in 2008, 2004 and 2000 all saw returns of about 89 percent. That stacks up to voter turnouts of 62 percent in 2011,

77 percent in 2010 and 60 percent in 2009. With all that presidential fervor, it’s been

busy around the elections office lately but things have gone pretty smoothly so far.

“We’re very pleased,” said Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider. “The work flow is going well, there have been no issues and people are participating.”

Crider praised the team of about 10 volun-teer and temporary employees that come in every year to help during election time. Some have been coming in for decades, she said.

“Their experience enables us to process the ballots and do the work in rapid time,” Crider said.

Mail ballots must be postmarked no later than Tuesday, Nov. 6, to be counted. If using a drop-box, ballots must be inserted by 8 p.m. Tuesday.

BY BETTY FREEMANStaff reporter

Whether she’s traveling, gardening, cooking or spend-ing time with her grand-children, Beth Whitman of Freeland is always thinking about quilting.

“All year long, I take time to quilt,” said Whitman, who has been quilting since the 1970s.

Whitman finds patterns and designs in nature, from tumbling ocean rocks to tree trunks, in architecture and in places she visits. She always has a lot of quilting projects going at once, whether she’s looking for designs, collect-ing fabrics or as she said,

“organizing a quilt in my head.”

A trip to Norway in June 2009 inspired her to make a series of quilted wall hang-ings and one large quilt based on the beauty she found in manhole covers.

In Norway, metal manhole covers are works of art, depicting historical scenes or coats of arms for the cities they serve. Whitman took photos of 12 different manhole covers she dis-covered in Bergen, Oslo and on a cruise up the coast of Norway. When she got home, she had them enlarged, researched the coats of arms and colors of each town’s architecture, and proceeded to create several

wall hangings and one big quilt over the span of a year.

Whitman won a second place award for her large quilt depicting manhole cover designs, “Norge Portals to Deep Spaces” at the prestigious Association

of Pacific West Quilters Show in Tacoma in August.

“Norge Portals” also juried into the La Conner Quilt Festival in October, under the umbrella of the La Conner Quilt and Textile Museum.

“Just jurying in to the La Conner Festival was the challenge for me, not the awards,” said Whitman.

Award-winning quilts judged as the “Best of the Festival” will stay on dis-play in La Conner through December.

“Norge Portals to Deep Space” and the other man-hole cover quilted wall hang-ings are appliquéd quilts. Whitman transfers patterns onto grid paper from tracings of her enlarged photographs. Then she traces her design onto fabric and fusible web-bing to iron the appliqués to the background fabric.

Batting and backing fabric complete the quilt “sand-wich,” and the actual quilt-ing is done with a long-arm machine, giving the design depth and texture.

She does more wall hangings than bed-sized quilts, and enjoys changing her home’s décor with the seasons, always involving several of her handmade projects. Currently she has a fall theme going, with leaf-patterned quilts and pump-kin colors, and one whimsi-cal quilt showing a cat in nine different Halloween costumes.

A trip to Hawaii inspired Whitman to try her hand at making intricate Hawaiian appliqued quilt designs. A voyage to Russia set her on the quest to create a quilt depicting nesting dolls (matryoshka), using fabrics with floral patterns woven with gold.

“I’ve spent a year just collecting fabrics for the Russian quilt,” said Whitman.

Like many quilting enthu-siasts, Whitman has a vast stash of fabrics just waiting for the right project.

“Creating my own designs has helped me develop my own style,” said Whitman. “Quilting develops my right brain creativity and helps me to learn about myself — what I like and what I can do.”

Next generationWhitman teaches quilting

at Island Fabric and Sewing Center, utilizing skills gained from 31 years of teaching middle school math in Snohomish. She’s also using her teaching skills to work with her four teenage grand-daughters each summer on

making quilts to give away to charity.

“As we’ve worked togeth-er over the past few years, I can see each one learning patience as they learn to quilt,” said Whitman.

Passing on quilting skills to another generation brings back memories of her own grandmother teaching her to sew when Whitman was 12.

Along with sewing skills, the girls are learning to take care of others in the com-munity. Since starting the summer quilt-making project with their grandmother, the four girls have made 20 to 25 lap quilts to give away — to returning veterans, to cancer patients in Whidbey General Hospital’s Medical Ambulatory Clinic program, and to the neonatal ICU at the University of Washington Hospital.

Whitman has started a tradition of giving each grandchild a quilt to mark his or her high school gradu-ation, letting the child pick the colors and design. With 13 grandchildren, she’s got a lot of family heirlooms to complete as well as her art project quilts.

“I’m very passionate about quilting,” said Whitman, with a smile. “It’s a very positive thing in my life.”

Unity talks of bumpy roads

“Bumps in the Road” is the title of the talk at 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 4, at Unity of Whidbey, 5671 Crawford Road.

Autumn, when a mis-step can mean a muddy shoe, brings to mind all manner of possible set-backs and pitfalls. When we reap the fruits of our less-than-enlightened choices, what kinds of responses are available to us? What stance, what attitude, can best serve us, our fellow humans, and our Creator, in the face of this life’s inevitable obstructions or disap-pointments?

There is a joy to be obtained even in lessons learned — a message from speaker and song-writer Doug Benecke, with music by Benecke and friends. Donna Vanderheiden will be platform assistant. All are welcome. Visit Unity’s website: www.unityof whidbeyisland.org for more information.

Gospels and the Old Testament

The Gospel means “good news.” The apostles drew much of its content from the Old Testament. Pastor Darrell Wenzek’s message at the 10 a.m. service Sunday, Nov. 4, is titled, “See What They Said,” which examines original New Testament preaching. A Communion service will also be observed. At 9 a.m., Stan Walker continues the study of the book of James. Refreshments are offered at both services.

South Whidbey Community Church is an independent Bible church which meets to worship God, study His word and encourage one another in the Christian life. They meet at the Deer Lagoon Grange Hall at 5142 Bayview Road, on the way to Langley. Visit their website at www.whidbeychurch.org or call 221-1220. Coming up at 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, is a continuation of the church’s four-year Bible

survey with the book of Isaiah at the pastor’s home.

Browns featured by Universalists

“Gratitude and Communion” with Effie and Mark Brown will be featured at 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov 4, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 20103 Highway 525, Freeland.

The Browns and other members of the con-gregation will explore themes of gratitude for the gift of life, the bounty of the earth, and the renewed commitment to a world of peace, justice and love. Inspired by the traditional Eucharist, this service includes readings and sharing the fruits of the earth as an expression of gratitude and a chal-lenge to care for the less

fortunate. Values-based, non-creedal children’s religious exploration classes and child care will be available. Check www.whidbey.com/uucwi for more information or call 321-8656.

Addressing the ‘myth’ of Adam

On Sunday, Nov. 4, the Christian Science church service focuses on the myth of Adam as the first human life. “The parent of all human discord was the Adam-dream, the deep sleep, in which originated the delusion that life and intelligence proceeded from and passed into matter.” (Science and Health).

The Bible advises that it’s time to wake from such delusion: “…now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now

is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” (Romans 13:11)

Everyone is welcome at this service that analyzes the differences between the good God created and the myth (second creation) that we are separate from spiritual perfection. Services begin at 10:30 a.m. at 15910 Highway 525, just north of Bayview and across from Useless Bay Road. For more information, call 321-1630.

Quakers change to ‘Friends’

Whidbey Island Quakers are newly renamed as “Whidbey Island Friends Meeting,” showing their closer ties to regional and national Quaker groups.

They hold regular meet-ings for worship every Sunday from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist building, located at 20103 Highway 525 about two miles north of Freeland.

This time of silent wor-ship together may include spoken messages or shar-ing of spiritual journeys. On the first Sunday of each month, an addi-tional time of singing at 3:30 p.m. precedes the worship service. As the 17th century founder of Quakers, George Fox, wrote in his journal: “Walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in everyone.”

2013 OAK HARBOR COMREHENSIVE

PLAN AMENDMENTSCALL FOR

APPLICATIONSThe City of Oak Harbor is init iating its annual Comprehensive Amend- m e n t P r o c e s s . T h e amendment process begins with a call for applications from the public requesting changes to the Plan. The requests are then compiled into a docket that is reviewed by the Planning Com- mission and City Coun- cil. The City Council ap- proves a final docket in March 2013. Request for changes can be made to any as- pect of the Comprehen- sive Plan. However, the application requirements differ for private amend- m e n t s a n d p u b l i c amendments. An example of a private amendment is a request to change a land use des- ignation for a property and an example of a public amendment would be a request to change the density requirements for a par ticular zoning district. For more information on public amendments please contact city staff. Information regarding this can also be found in the Oak Harbor Municipal Code Chapter 18.15.060.Applications are now being accepted fo r the 2013 Comprehensive Plan Amendments. The application for pr ivate amendments (land use changes) is current ly available at the City Hall and on the City’s website. Land owners can request changes to their property’s land use des- ignation as part of the amendment p rocess. The deadline for applications is December 3, 2012 5pm. The process to consider a m e n d m e n t s t o t h e Comprehensive Plan is a year long process. All applications received will be placed on a docket wi th other mandatory and discretionary items. The docket will then be reviewed by the Plan- ning Commission and the City Council through a public hearing process before approval. The process is designed to provide opportunities for public par ticipation at var ious stages of the process.Please contact Cac Ka- mak, Senior Planner, at (360) 279-4514 if you have questions.LEGAL NO. 435306Publ i shed : Wh idbey N e w s - T i m e s , S o u t h Whidbey Record.
