A N AFFORDABLE HOUSING project has been proposed in Langley that city officials say breaks from traditional

approaches to urban planning and could ultimately serve as a model for future development.

Dubbed Upper Langley, the prospective subdivision would see the construction of 16 single-family lots on 10 acres of forested land on the west side of Al Anderson Avenue, across from the cemetery.

The idea is to create an out-of-the-box devel-opment that will not only be truly affordable, but promulgates a strong sense of community, said Cary Peterson, one of a handful of Langley “land partners” working on the project.

“It’s an approach to living where you don’t have everything in your own house,” Peterson said.

Other land partners include Roger and Emma Bennett, Chris and Christy Korrow, and Jerene.

Under the current design, lot sizes are capped at a cozy 1,000 square feet. That helps keep prices down and emphasizes homes that are environmentally sustainable. It also allows for a lot of innovation when it comes to plan-ning, Peterson said.

Because none of the homes will have garages, a communal parking lot will be con-structed and residents will access their homes

via a path that can be walked or traveled by golf cart.

Other shared community resources will include a commons house, which can be used to house guests, along with sheds, a garden

and open space. A total of four 10-foot by 12-foot cabins will be also constructed for use by interns.

Based on artist’s renderings of the proposed development, about half of the 10-acre property would remain forested open space. Additional portions would be similarly preserved as meadow or grassy areas.

As an affordable housing project, the lots will have certain financial limitations as well. While many details have yet to be worked out, such as lot price and buyer eligibility, some things are clear.

For one, home and property values will be largely perpetual. They may increase slightly over the years but no one will be able to buy and then turn a big profit. The reason is sim-ple, Peterson said.

“What we want to do is create truly afford-able lots,” she said.

Special to the Record

As days get shorter and the weather gets colder, utility bills get bigger. None of us look forward to that. Least of which is Helping Hand, the nonprofit organization that helps people in need cover basic necessities, such as heating, electricity and rent.

This year, Helping Hand has already granted a record number of grants to families, and the winter season, and with it the high-energy bills, has not even arrived yet. The No. 1 request for assistance has been help with Puget Sound Energy bills followed by rent or mortgage payment assistance, said Rosemary Martin, Helping Hand’s executive director.

UUCWI�announces�concert season

Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island’s third annual chamber music series includes six recitals this year.

The first concert of the series is Pianothon, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20. UUCWI is cel-ebrating the arrival of its new piano with a concert showcasing the musi-cal talents, classical and improvisational, of nine Whidbey Island pianists, with commentary by Eileen Soskin.

Local pianists are Nola

Allen (a longtime resi-dent of both Seattle and Whidbey Island who is the resident pianist at UUCWI); Kathy Fox (who has a private piano studio and is the resident pianist and organist at Langley United Methodist Church); Heidi Hoelting (a classical-ly-trained musician and poet who frequently part-ners with Talia Marcus and composes and performs improvisations); David Locke (Parish Musician at St. Augustine’s-in-the-Woods); Robert Marsanyi (resident clas-sical and jazz pianist for OutCast Productions; Porter Matteson (a home-schooled fifth grader

who is also a prolific composer); Eileen Soskin (a collaborative pianist and lecturer); Dianne Vars (a retired college profes-sor and classical pianist); and Sheila Weidendorf (a concert pianist and vocal-ist who is also the music director at WICA).

In addition to jazz and improvisation, fea-tured classical compos-ers include J. S. Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Cage, Chopin, Mozart, Liszt and Schubert. Solo and four-hand piano music is also offered with a spe-cial guest appearance by soprano Kate Matteson singing Irving Berlin’s beloved classic, “I Love A

Piano.”“A Broadway Cabaret,”

the following concert, will be Nov. 9 and 10, with music from seven Broadway musicals per-formed by local artists Matteson, Rich Doyle, Ken Merrell, Gretchen d’Armand and one imported Broadway per-former, Gloria Makino.

On Jan. 19, “Jazz à la Carte: Seattle Fusion and Swing” will feature last year’s fusion quartet, Stop, Thief! with Teo Benson, and a group of young Seattle artists playing and singing French pop and gypsy jazz.

On Feb. 22 and 23, “The Time Traveling Trio”

will play piano trios by Mendelssohn, Fauré, Piazzolla, Bridge and Hidgon performed by Gloria Ferry-Brennan on violin, James Hinkley on cello and Eileen Soskin on piano.

“Wings, Find Air” will be held March 23. This is a song recital celebrat-ing French and American poets and composers per-formed by two Portland artists: Laurie Hungerford Flint, soprano, and Rodney Menn, pianist.

“A Musical B&B: Brahms and British Songs” will be May 11. This will be a chamber music recital featuring Allen on piano, Benson playing violin and

Kathryn Vinson, mezzoso-prano.

All tickets cost $20. Angel Tickets will be available again this year. Anyone on a limited bud-get who wishes to attend our concerts is welcome to request an Angel Ticket, which is underwrit-ten by those who wish to ensure that a lack of funds does not prevent people from enjoying these con-certs.

Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island is located at 20103 Highway 525 in Freeland.

notableIndonesian� teachers�visit

The Friendship Force of Whidbey Island and the Northwest Language and Cultural Center in Langley will welcome a group of educators from Indonesia from Oct. 8 through 10, for a seminar in teaching English as a second lan-guage.

The visiting teachers and high school prin-cipals, 15 in all, are in the United States from Jakarta, as well as other Indonesian islands. The group left Jakarta on Sept. 29 following an offi-cial dinner and send-off by the Assistant Cultural Attaché from the U.S. Embassy to Indonesia.

Friendship Force International chose Whidbey Island and the NWLA Cultural Center as the site for a three-day training seminar on techniques for teaching English as a second lan-guage. Margaret Hicks, a university professor from Greensville, S. C., will teach the class at the

NWLA Cultural Center during the first three days of the group’s visit.

The teachers will be hosted in the homes of the local Friendship Force group led by Shirley Hauck. They will explore rural life and the Pacific Northwest environment, visiting Port Townsend, Coupeville and Deception Pass, taking a tour of Boeing, walking in the Saratoga Woods and exploring the Langley art scene.

There will be a potluck welcome dinner at the NWLA Cultural Center from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8. The cen-ter is located at 5023 Langley Road in Langley. The potluck will be followed by inter-national folk dancing. The event is open to the public.

When the teachers return to Jakarta, they will complete the Consortium for Global Education course in English as a sec-ond language techniques online and receive a cer-tificate.

BY RECORD STAFF

The South Whidbey Record has once again won “general excellence” in the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association’s annual Better Newspaper Contest.

This year, the newspaper came in first in its circulation category under the leader-ship of editor Jim Larsen, who was simultaneously editor of the Whidbey News-Times. He took over the Record in March, just in time to submit his pages to the contest.

A total of 73 newspapers from across the state partici-pated in the contest. News stories, photographs and ads are judged in four circulation categories. The awards were announced Sept. 28 at the association’s annual confer-ence in Yakima.

Record staff members received a series of individu-al awards.

Former editor Brian Kelly took both first and second place for Best Crime and Court Story in the group II circulation category. His story, “Thomas goes from devoted mom to accused murderer” won first place and “Marked for death” won second place.

Kelly won first place in the combined group I and II category for Best Front Page Design for the May 21 issue.

Staff reporter Ben Watanabe won first and third place in Best Black and White Sports Photo. His photo “Parks program hits the mark” took first and “Falcon boys and girls take

third at Westling Invite” took third. Also, his photo “Bomb scare shuts down Clinton-Mukilteo ferry” won third for Best Spot News Photo.

Watanabe also won three awards in the news division. He won third place in the

Best News Story — Short category for “Three killed in Clinton crash.” He took third in News of the Weird for “Freeland man’s invention has Whidbey Island buzz-ing” and third place in Best Sports Personality Profile for

“Despite injuries, Buechner voted to all-conference foot-ball teams.”

Former staff reporter Patricia Duff won four awards for writing. She won both first and third place in the Best Education Story cat-egory for “Calyx: A school to nurture the petals of flower-ing childhood” and “Spanish teacher uses technology to inspire pursuit of language.”

Duff was awarded first and second place in Best

Story on the Arts. Her story, “Island Shakespeare Fest’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ opens today,” came in first and “Swimming into love and other transformations” won second place.

Whidbey News-Times assis-tant editor Jessie Stensland, who also contributes to the Record, was named “News Writer of the Year.” Justin Burnett, who writes for both the Record and News-Times, won several awards for the

News-Times, including first place in Comprehensive Coverage in the group III for “Human bones stall project.”

Sundberg snares library board seat

A Langley City Council member has been appointed to fill an open seat on the Library Board.

James Tully recently stepped down from his position on the board and Councilman Jim Sundberg was approved Monday as his replacement. Sundberg volunteered and the city council agreed to his appoint-ment unanimously.

The library board is

composed of six members who are responsible for promoting awareness of the library and monitor-ing all issues related to the facility, from maintenance and landscaping to public use of the building.

The library is part of the Sno-Isle Libraries system and the board meets on a quarterly basis.

Board will attend WSSDA meeting

Board members from the South Whidbey

School District will attend a regional meeting of school district directors next week.

South Whidbey’s five board members will take part in the evening con-ference from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8 in Stanwood. The South Whidbey School Board is part of the Washington State School Directors Association, which has organized regional meetings since 2000 to improve communication, networking and sharing education ideas between neighboring school dis-tricts.

Commons hosts computers

South Whidbey stu-dents looking for a place to plug in and work can

now head to the South Whidbey Commons.

The Commons is partici-pating in the “Computers at the Commons” pro-gram by having comput-ers available for students after school from 3 to 5 p.m. every Tuesday in October. Mentors will be there to help students, too.

To reserve a time, sign up at the Commons locat-ed at 124 Second Street in Langley. For more infor-mation, contact Gloria Maxwell at [email protected] or 221-0127.

Pot cookies land man in jail

A 41-year-old Greenbank man was

arrested after he had a bad reaction to mari-juana cookies and illegally possessed a shotgun in violation of a court order, documents allege.

Troy Nelson pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court Sept. 24 to unlawful possession of a firearm in the second degree and violation of a court order.

A Greenbank woman reported on March 13 that her friend, Nelson, was having a bad reac-tion to marijuana cookies that he baked. She said he seemed unaware of what he was doing and was talking about a tsunami coming, so she handcuffed him to a pool ladder outside and called 911.

Deputy Scott Davis with the Island County Sheriff’s Office arrived and found

Nelson in the basement of the house. He was holding a shotgun with the muzzle near his face. When he saw the deputy, Nelson pleaded with him not to shoot him, accord-ing to Davis’ report.

Davis took control of the shotgun. Nelson said he had wanted to kill him-self. The deputy took him into protective custody and transported him to the hospital. He was later moved to the VA hospital in Seattle.

Davis wrote that Nelson had been living with the woman, in violation of a domestic violence no-contact order issued against him. In addition, the order prohibited him from possessing firearms.

In convicted of the charges, Nelson could face from one to three months in jail.

ElectionsLauderdale served the nationTo the editor:

I am an independent. I am frankly appalled that a thinking American would vote solely based on a “R” or “D” after a name on a ballot. I approach voting like hiring an employee; read the resume, education, job experience, policies and past job performance.

This election I am supporting Jeff Lauderdale for county commissioner. I want to expand on Jeff’s military service which I think many wash over. Among the many things Jeff did in the Navy, he served as the executive officer on a ballistic missile submarine. He performed 17 patrols, each 70 to 90 days. That’s over four years underwa-ter and out of touch. Operating a nuclear reac-tor deep under crushing water pressure and being responsible for more explosive power than mankind has released in our entire his-tory. The Navy only gives this responsibility to the very best (thank God!).

Beyond his submarine experience, he also was the head the Trident Submarine Section under the Chief of Naval Operations where he coordinated planning, budget, dealt with budget shortfalls and was responsible for a $21 billion, six year program. This is the expe-rience we need in Island County.

Jeff’s education, experiences, responsi-bilities, history of service for his country and broad experience far exceed his locally grown opposition. This is America, where I hope we look beyond race, creed, gender or political party and value the individual and his or her accomplishments and what they bring to the table to work for us. First, we are all Americans.

J.H. BRUNKEFreeland

homola knows county valuesTo the editor:

We want to thank Angie Homola for her hard work and common sense, which has resulted in a balanced county budget while retaining core functions like law and justice, public health, and infrastructure.

Angie understands that unplanned develop-ment imposes greater costs on current hom-eowners and reduces their property values. Angie understands that we treasure our island quality of life and want to protect open spaces, clean water and wildlife, for ourselves and future generations. Angie understands that we want a transparent and accessible county government.

She has earned our trust, and we’re voting

for Angie Homola.BILL and CHERYL BRADKIN

county needs Price JohnsonTo the editor:There seem to be a lot of reasons that drive

people to run for political office. Sadly these reasons often do not include any concern for the general well-being of Island County and its residents or, in some cases, any under-standing of the responsibilities of the office for which they are running. Some candidates run so they can represent the interests of a few supporters who have a personal agenda they want implemented. Some candidates run because they like the attention. Some candi-dates run because they love creating chaos out of order.

Yet sometimes a candidate shows up who truly wishes to serve the best interests of Island County; A candidate who doesn’t have a personal agenda: A candidate who will review and analyze each issue and proposal to determine its value to all of Island County, not just a few special interests; a candidate who has proven herself a capable and conscien-tious manager and leader right here in Island County.

That candidate is Helen Price Johnson and

she has been a truly dedicated and tireless public servant within the highest definition of the term. She worked many years on the South Whidbey School Board bringing reason and logic to an oft times difficult and adversarial environment. She has served Island County as a commissioner for the past four years, rep-resenting all the people not just some of the special interests. She has managed to reduce the county’s operating expenses within the current financial limitations and has made the tough decisions necessary to protect our critical water supplies. She has shown herself to be a leader in tough times and to be able to make the tough decisions. And like many of the rest of us, she also has raised a family, nurtured a marriage and managed a business, again, here in Island County. I urge all my neighbors and fellow community members to follow me in re-electing her to county commis-sioner, District 1. Island County needs people like Helen Price Johnson.

GHERRY TAYLORFreeland

Vote the incumbents outTo the editor: In the last three-and-a-half years, Island

County Commissioners Helen Price Johnson

and Angie Homola have demonstrated a bla-tant disregard for the will of Island County voters.

Proposition 1, a huge tax increase pushed by these two Commissioners in 2010, was voted down by a resounding 70 percent of voters. But they simply ignored this mandate and, within weeks, imposed the Clean Water Utility tax that replaced the revenue denied by voters. They also gave themselves a “blank check” in this resolution to tax us as much and as often as they want without a vote.

Price Johnson and Homola are also known for their snarky comments and rude behavior directed toward opponents at hearings and workshops, yet they are more than willing to pander to extremist groups, such as WEAN, whose lawsuits have cost taxpayers millions.

We need reasoned and responsive govern-ment in Island County, so let’s replace these two tax-and-spenders with Lauderdale and Johnson in November.

development, he said.“I would expect thing

will go over fairly smoothly but you never know,” Arango said.

He complimented both the design and ambitions of Upper Langley project, calling them “unique” and that they could very well serve as a model for future projects with similar objec-tives.

“If they are successful in pulling off this project, it would be a great example of how to do things differently to meet community goals,” Arango said.

“This is a group of private citizens trying to do that and that’s pretty rare,” he said.

This is really just the beginning of the project. Before lots can be sold, land partners will have to suc-cessfully navigate the city’s permitting process and then raise money for infra-structure through social investors.

Peterson estimated the entire project will take three to five years to complete.

“Hopefully, there will be a big rush and every-thing will be done in two years but lets be realistic,” she said.

work with PSE on future payments. We expect the demand for assistance with power bills to increase as we move into the cooler months.”

Helping Hand provides immediate financial assistance to residents of South Whidbey when basic services of life and well-being are in danger of being discontinued and makes referrals for longer-term assistance.

Helping Hand serves the work-ing poor, the unemployed and under-employed or homeless, single parents, seniors, the chronically ill, and others who find themselves facing sudden financial hardship resulting in an inabil-ity to pay for basic services.

More than 850 servedUsually the help provided is in the

form of small grants paid directly to util-ity companies to keep heat and electric-ity from being turned off, or to landlords to prevent eviction, but there are many smaller needs which their volunteers respond to.

Martin said that so far Helping Hand has served more than 850 people this year — about one third of them were children. The number of people serviced is up about 25 percent from last year.

Martin explained that many of the cli-ents are people who work hard to make

ends meet and all it took was a sudden life change to knock them off and into a downward spiral of poverty.

“We have so many stories that I am not sure where to begin,” Martin said. “The 77-year-old grandmother support-ing her grandchildren and needing heat-ing assistance; the young homeless cou-ple who needed formula for their baby; a disabled man whose service dog ran away when fireworks were going on and he needed money to get the dog back from WAIF; the family with both parents unemployed who needed help with pay-ing rent; landscapers who couldn’t begin work because of the wet spring who needed help with rent, utilities and car insurance; the homeless man who showed up cold and wet at St. Hubert Catholic Church on Thanksgiving day and needed a place to stay.”

“The stories go on and on,” she added.

Martin also stressed that there are limits to the aid the organization can pro-vide. Financial assistance is restricted to $400 per household per calendar year,

except in rare situations.The organization has been helping

people on South Whidbey for 32 years — and hopes to be around for many more.

“Sometimes we can help them but sometimes we can’t because the people have reached their yearly limit with us or we simply don’t have the funds,” Martin said.

Helping Hands is also proud of the fact that nearly all of its funds are paid back out into the community. Only 12 percent of the money donated to the organization is used to pay overhead costs, which consists of rent, phone, office supplies, insurance and a small stipend for the executive director.

Helping Hands fundraising letter will be mailed out soon and Martin urges residents to help their neighbors through a small donation.

“The biggest need we have is money, donations of gift certificates for propane

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.

The Cascade Conference wasn’t without a powerhouse for long.

Lakewood, one week after pummeling the league’s pre-vious top team Archbishop Murphy, piled on points against South Whidbey in a 42-13 blowout. The Lakewood Cougars led 13-0 by the first quarter, then gouged the Falcon defense for 29 points in the second quarter for a 42-3 lead by halftime.

“It was a closer game than the score showed,” said Falcon junior quarterback Nick French.

“If we could have gotten our offense rolling a little earlier, we would have had a little more points at the half.”

South Whidbey’s only points in the first half came on a field goal by senior Cameron Coupe. The all-conference kicker booted a 26-yard score that cut Lakewood’s lead to 21-3 in the second quarter.

On Lakewood’s next drive, the Cougars (1-0 Cascade Conference; 4-0 overall) scored a quick fade route. Back up to their own 1-yard line, Cougar quar-terback Kolby Schueller threw to Brandon Stott, who broke a tackle for a 99-yard touchdown and a 28-3 lead. Lakewood hammered South Whidbey’s defense from the air, scoring two more passing touchdowns from Schueller to Justin Peterson that put the Cougars ahead 42-3 by halftime.

“We had opportunities, we just didn’t capitalize on them,” said Falcon co-head coach Mark Hodson.

“We were just beat by a better team.”

The Falcons’ offensive struggles continued. South Whidbey managed a total of 226 yards, but only 43 rushing yards on 27 carries. French, who has rushed for 292 yards through the first four games, was stuffed and sacked for -7 yards against Lakewood.

“They’re a good team with a couple big boys up front,” French said.

South Whidbey’s running woes forced the Falcons to take to the air. French found some success passing for 141 yards on 13 com-pletions. Falcon receivers Uriah Beason and Coupe led the way with 60 and 70 yards, respectively. South Whidbey’s receiving corps was depleted with the loss of

starting junior receiver Kale Reichersamer, who is out for the season with a broken col-larbone. Receivers like first-year football player Andrew Holt, a 6-4 senior, helped stretch the field — just not enough to recover from an early, double-digit deficit.

“They’re just good ath-letes,” French said. “They can run after the catch.”

The Falcons’ only touch-down came on a 1-yard run by senior fullback Aaron Curfman, followed by Coupe’s extra point kick. South Whidbey shut out Lakewood in the second half as the Cougars ground out the clock and subbed in their second-string players.

“Our defense came out in the third quarter and sent them a message,” French said.

Coupe scored the final points of the night on another field goal from 27 yards out.

The home game was the Falcons’ second double-digit loss in a row after last week’s 49-15 road defeat by the King’s Knights.

South Whidbey (1-2 Cascade Conference; 2-3 overall) will try to upset a reeling Archbishop Murphy team during the Wildcats’ homecoming Friday, Oct. 5. With the Wildcats on a two-game losing streak and a coaching change, the Falcons are poised to beat the old conference power-house for the first time in several years.

“It’s time for a little payback on Archbishop Murphy,” French said. “We know they’re still a good team.”

Steely nerves, positioning and a little luck combined for Falcon freshman Annie Lux to knock in a header that beat Granite Falls.

South Whidbey won its sec-ond double overtime match in three days on Saturday against the Granite Falls Tigers, 1-0.

Against the Tigers (4-3 Cascade Conference; 5-4 over-all), the Falcons had to hold on in the regular time. Both teams’ defenses asserted themselves and kept each oth-er’s midfielders and forwards away from the goal behind the stalwart play of Falcon senior goalie Ellie Greene and Tiger goalie Courtney Young.

A 0-0 score at the end of regulation forced a five-min-ute, sudden death overtime. With mostly even time of pos-session, Falcon head coach Ben Rusch said, the Falcons (3-4 Cascade Conference; 3-5-1 overall) and the Tigers couldn’t got a goal.

“Really, it was more of a real soccer match, back and forth,” Rusch said. “Teams attack and counter-attack, that’s how soccer is really played, not overcommitting.”

In the second overtime, Falcon junior midfielder Maia Sparkman - South Whidbey’s hero from Thursday - had one final play. The Falcons received a corner kick, but the ball had rolled down from Waterman Field as stoppage time began. Sparkman sprint-ed for the ball, back up the slope and placed the ball on the corner. Usually, Sparkman said she visualizes where she wants to kick the ball, takes a couple of deep, calming

breaths and boots the ball. Not this time.

“I didn’t have any time for it,” Sparkman said.

Sparkman sent the cor-ner kick to the far post of the Tigers’ goal. Lux cleanly headed it in behind Young, who was in front of the far pole, between Sparkman and the goal, with less than a minute left in overtime. The goal, Lux’s first of the year and Falcon career, won the match for South Whidbey and avoided a shootout.

“I don’t even know how it went to the back post, but I’m so glad someone was there to finish it,” Sparkman said.

South Whidbey’s players admitted they were mentally ready for a shootout. Their coach was ready and confi-dent, too, because he had scouted the Tigers a week earlier during a match they lost in a shootout. In that match, the Tigers made two and missed two penalty kicks, which cost them the game. That doesn’t mean Rusch looked forward to the penalty kick possibility.

“Shootouts are always stressful,” Rusch said.

cross country girls run away with meet title

The Falcon girls cross coun-try team continues to show why it’s one of the best in the state. South Whidbey won the 1B, 1A and 2A girls team title at the Twilight Cross Country Invitational meet in Marysville.

That is largely thanks to a career day by senior Anna Hood, who improved her best

5,000-meter time by 41 sec-onds and finished in 22:07 at Cedarcrest Golf Course. Hood crossed the finish line for 45th place in the 1B-2A division.

Some of the South Whidbey’s best times over the years have been at Cedarcrest Golf Course, which features a downhill final stretch.

The Falcon girls were led by senior runners Lillianna Stelling and Nora Felt. Stelling placed fourth and posted her best time of 19:13, a personal record improvement of 43 seconds. Felt finished 19th in 20:33, her personal best time by almost one minute. Mallorie Mitchem, a freshman, finished close behind Felt for 20th place in 20:35.

Bonnie Klamm, a Falcon senior, finished in 22nd place in 20:54. She improved her 5K time by 10 seconds from her seventh-place finish at the South Whidbey Invitational meet Sept. 15. Emma Lungren was the fifth Falcon to cross the finish line and did so in 21:46 for 38th place and her personal record.

Anna Justus, a Falcon fresh-man, was the final varsity run-ner and finished in 23:53.

South Whidbey’s boys team was highlighted by a string of sub-20 races. Sophomore Cole Zink sprinted away from his previous best 5K time to a sixth-place finish and set his new record at 16:45. Gavin Imes, a

junior, also set a personal record of 18:03.

First-year varsity runner Chris Anderson, a freshman, was the third Falcon finisher (18:12). Sophomores Anders Bergquist (18:54) and Truman Hood (19:08) set personal best times. Sophomore Andy Zisette (19:28) rounded out South Whidbey’s varsity runners.

The Falcons were without senior runner and team cap-tain Jhamil Bader-Jarvis. South Whidbey has its final Cascade Conference meet Thursday, Oct. 4 at the Carnation Golf Course in Duvall.

Sheriff Mark Brown has to look for a new corrections officer who would be willing to work for one year.

The Board of Island County Commissioners approved a $67 million budget after a public hearing Monday night. That approval included fund-ing for the single position, but Brown said it could be dif-ficult to find someone willing

to go through the academy before starting his work at the jail for a position that will last a single year.

“I just don’t know how prac-tical it will be,” Brown said in an interview after the public hearing. He had originally submitted a budget request asking to fund three correc-tions officers and 10 depu-ties; however, that number got pared down to the one corrections officer.

Commissioner Angie Homola said in a Tuesday morning interview, that fund-ing for the corrections officer provides flexibility should the county ask the voters to approve either a sales tax or a property tax initiative some-time in the future.

She doesn’t want to allocate dollars from the general fund when another funding source would come available. That money could serve other

needs in the county’s general fund.

She wouldn’t say whether a sales tax or property tax proposal would be offered or a timeline as to when that would happen.

The commissioners approved the Island County budget, along with a 1 per-cent property tax increase to the county’s current expense levy, roads levy and Conservation Futures Fund. They voted 2 to 1 with Commissioners Homola and Helen Price Johnson sup-porting the budget and tax increases and Commissioner Kelly Emerson voting against the proposals.

Budget director Elaine Marlow described the docu-ment as a “status quo” bud-get.

The commissioners did hash out some issues about current funding.

The Island County muse-um had originally asked for $15,000. That money had been originally slashed to $5,000, before the commis-sioners settled on $8,000.

The remaining money will be made up from tourism dollars with the understand-ing that the Trust Board of Ebey’s Landing will ask for less when 2 percent tourism dollars are awarded, Price Johnson said.

“I want to thank you for really trying to hammer this out,” Island County Museum director Rick Castellano said during the meeting.

The commissioners also approved the hiring of a new planner even though the money the county earns from building fees and land use decisions are budgeted to decline by $69,000.

Price Johnson said the new planner came from a recent

performance audit complet-ed by the state, because the department is being restruc-tured and staff reviews of such documents as the com-prehensive plan and shore-line master plan.

Emerson voted against all of the proposals. She said she sees revenue problems in the budget and the commission-ers needs to stop raising fees and taxes. The county will have a revenue problem if it keeps pushing families, busi-nesses and investors off the island.

Homola took time to defend the recently instituted Clean Water Utility, which provided money for a hydrogeologist.

While the commissioners approved a balanced bud-get Monday night, Marlow warned that given current trends it will be difficult to approve a balanced budget by 2016.

Sheriff adds officer in newly approved Island County budgetTax�increase�

Island County property owners will see a slight bump in their property taxes in the coming year.

In addition to approv-ing the budget, the three-member Board of Island County Commissioners also approved a 1 percent tax increase to the county’s current expense levy, county roads levy and Conservation Futures Funds.

During a Monday evening public hear-ing, Commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Angie Homola voted for the increases while Commissioner Kelly Emerson voted against the increases.

The tax increases will bring in an additional $163,274 to the county’s $67 million budget.

The current expense levy would get an addi-tional $76,402, county roads would get an additional $80,170 and the Conservation Futures Fund would receive an additional $3,702.

During the public hear-ing, Homola lamented the voter approved initia-tive in 2002 that capped property tax increases at 1 percent unless other-wise approved by a vote of the people.

“We’ve been unable to follow the inflationary rate for 11 years,” Homola said adding in an inter-view after the meeting that in the late 1990s, a Republican board of commissioners made a 6-percent tax increase.

BY BETTY FREEMANStaff reporter

As the sun set on a sunny September Thursday, about 70 Clinton residents and busi-ness owners gathered at the Clinton Community Hall for a potluck dinner and a healthy serving of optimism about the future of their “town.”

The Sept. 27 meeting chan-neled energy from a group of Clintonites who mobilized at a Future Search conference last January and are current-ly working cooperatively to boost and beautify Clinton.

Eight action committees were formed at the confer-ence, including beautification, trails and paths, economic development, transportation, community center and infra-structure, utilities and a steer-ing committee.

The economic develop-ment committee’s report was given by Carol Flax, man-ager of the Clinton Thursday Market, which in its first season attracted about 2,200 people in July and August to the donated green behind the Dairy Queen.

“We just jumped in and did it,” said Flax. “Vendors were generally really happy with the upbeat energy of the markets, and we hope next year’s markets will attract even more local people as the word gets out.”

“Our big plan for next year is to include a beer garden,” said Flax, a notion that was met with general approval from the audience.

Next to speak was Maury Hood, from the paths and trails committee, whose big news was that the committee had succeeded in identifying with the county the trail they

most want to improve — the path between the ferry dock and Ken’s Korner. The trails and paths committee seeks additional input from bike riders and hikers to identify other Clinton-area trails they want improved.

Sine Hough, of the beautifi-cation committee, started her report by saying, “I want to make a difference!” Her com-mittee is looking for volun-teers to help plant hundreds of spring bulbs in Clinton on Oct. 27, national “Make a Difference Day.”

“Show up between 9 a.m. and noon that day and help us plant a swath of gold lead-ing into Clinton,” said Hough. “We have lots of ideas and a huge amount of desire, but we need more ‘Beautification Buddies’ to help us.”

In addition to the commit-tee reports, a proposal for cre-ating a Clinton Community Council was discussed. The proposed council would be a non-elected body of con-cerned citizens who want to have a say about county and state issues that affect the quality of life in Clinton.

“At first, when we dis-cussed the idea of a commu-nity council, we called it the ‘one voice’ committee,” said Jack Lynch, who serves as the group’s chairman. “But now we understand that it shouldn’t be limited to just one voice, but should include

many points of view from those who share common concerns about our commu-nity.”

Lynch suggested view-points that could be repre-sented on the Community Council, including interest groups such as the Friends of the Clinton Library and Whidbey Watershed Stewards, business repre-sentatives from the Chamber of Commerce, high school students, and the Clinton Progressive Association. Suggestions from the audi-ence included St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, South Whidbey Parks & Recreation, the Maxwelton Community Club and political parties.

Steering committee mem-bers did a lot of research in other counties that have unincorporated “towns” with area councils. Many of these groups in San Juan, Kitsap and King counties focus their efforts on representing their area’s concerns with land-use planning and review, public safety and public facility sit-ing.

“The feedback we got from our research is that commu-nities and government orga-nizations feel these councils serve a very useful purpose,” said Lynch.

Attorney Doug Kelly, a

30-year resident of Clinton, said, “Change is inevitable, but if we can get this commu-nity council up and running, we’ll have representation when the county comes in to make changes here.”

Those who want to be a voice on the Community Council should contact Jack Lynch at [email protected] or visit communityof clinton.org.

“We need a sense of place, and to know where Clinton begins and ends,” said Kelly. “Knowing where you are helps you know who you are.”

Jay (Joyce T.) Richards

Jay Richards was born on November 18, 1926 in the Seattle area, the third child of Gerald and Noeline Etcheverry Close. Her father was a career Army officer which was the cause of many moves. While attending Seattle University in 1942 a mutual friend introduced her to her dear future husband, Al Richards, who was a Merchant Marine cadet shipping in and out of Seattle. They were married on July 6, 1946 and settled in Al’s hometown of Spokane, WA. Their four children were born and raised there. They were her pride and joy. Family was always the cen-ter of Jay’s life. She used her skill of sewing, knitting and hand crafts to create warm, attractive and welcoming homes. Home cooking and cookies from the oven, col-orful flowerbeds were a pas-sion. She was very much involved in her church and her children’s school activi-ties as well as the Camp Fire Association. As the children grew, she joined Al in his love of golf. This brought many dear friends into their lives. She was on the 9-Hole Ladies Board at the Spokane Country Club for 14 years and when they retired to Whidbey Island in 1986, she started the Ladies 9-Hole Group at the Useless

Bay Golf & Country Club. Whidbey Island was Jay’s heaven on earth. Every day began with a walk on the beach with her beloved Corgi. Jay is survived by her loved husband Al, daughters Joyce (John) Garland, Pam (Gerard) Guinasso, Leslie (Tom) Stachecki and son Matthew (Bonnie) Richards and 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by both parents and her brother and sister.

A rosary will be held at 10:45am with a Requiem Mass at 11:00am at St. Hubert’s Church located at 804 - 3rd Street, Langley WA, 98260 to follow on October 8, 2012. At Jay’s request her remains will be cremated. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Nature Conservancy or the local Humane Society, her two favorite causes. A celebra-tion of life to follow at St. Hubert’s Church hall.

Sumi�artist�shows� at�Schouten

After a 10-year hiatus to raise her daughter, respected sumi artist Angie Dixon’s first exhibi-tion of new work will be at the Rob Schouten Gallery during October.

This show combines the tradi-tional expression of Asian brush and ink painting, sumi painting, with Dixon’s use of traditional materials in non-traditional ways.

“The expressive quality of brush and ink captivated me while in college at the University of Washington where I studied art with George Tsutakawa and then with visiting masters from Japan who taught sumi paint-ing and calligraphy… When I went to the People’s Republic of China in 1984, where Asian brush and ink painting origi-nated in the Tang Dynasty, I was given yet another perspective on creating images with brush and ink. The common thread through all these teachings was a profound respect for nature and the forces of creative ener-gy,” Dixon said.

Also featured is the hand-blown glass art of Robert Adamson and Janis Swalwell, who have pursued their love of handblown glass for over 40 years. Working from their own studio and hot shop on Whidbey, they continue to explore sculptural directions in contemporary art glass, includ-ing blown, pate de verre, cast and deeply carved forms.

This exhibition will open in conjunction with First Fridays at the Farm Art and Wine Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5. The artists will be in attendance and all can enjoy the music of Baby Bahia. Refreshments will be served.

Rob Schouten Gallery is located at the Greenbank Farm. For details, contact 222-3070 or [email protected].

Artists offer a glimpse of their worlds, demonstrate and explain their creative pro-cesses, and sell their artwork during the 16th annual Whidbey Island Open Studio Tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6 and 7.

The free two-day tour brings art lovers from all over to the island, when 55 paint-ers, sculptors, photographers, potters, glass blowers, woodworkers, jewelers, weavers and textile artists open their stu-dios to the public at 45 different locations island-wide.

The Whidbey Island Open Studio Tour is a cooperative effort by artists and the Island Arts Council. A brochure with descriptions and photos of the artists’ work, a map and detailed directions to each tour stop can be accessed at island artscouncil.org. Bright yellow tour signs will guide visitors, and the brochures also include a QR code to help find studios.

“Everyone’s excited to share their work and welcome people to their studios,” said textile artist Janis Saunders, tour artist coordinator.

The tour can be experienced in a num-ber of ways. Organize your itinerary by location, genré or areas of interest.

From Clinton to Greenbank, 30 studios will be open. North of Greenbank, 15 stu-dios are listed. A bonus of the tour is the chance to explore the island’s rural back roads, finding unusual living spaces and resourceful artists blending their artistic lives with pastoral surroundings.

Observing artists creating also enriches the Open Studio Tour experience. Most offer “artist in action” demonstrations.

Glassblowing, which is nearly always a team effort, is exciting to watch.

Glassblowers on the tour include Rob Adamson and Janis Swalwell at Island Art Glass, and Joi and Dan LaChaussee, located near each other in Langley, off Newman Road.

Adamson said, “We’re going to have our first annual glass pumpkin sale during the tour, and in the hot shop we’ll be making garden art and fish.”

Sherren Anderson makes fused copper foil glass art in her Clinton glassworks.

Sandra Whiting will demonstrate how to make handmade books and printmaking in her Sweetwater Farm studio in Clinton. Mary Ashton makes handmade paper, books, prints and textiles focusing on the process and natural materials in the Marcy Johnson studio in Greenbank.

Textile artists, from weavers to silk painters, include Barbara Zander and Mary Burks in Langley, Anne Davenport in Freeland and Janis Saunders in Coupeville.

“I’ll be demonstrating Japanese kumo-himo braiding for the tour,” said Saunders.

Interested in photography? The 2012 Tour boasts five photographers from Clinton to Coupeville, including Tom Trimbath, Zoe Osenbach, Lorraine Healy, Don Wodjenski and M. Denis Hill.

Pottery makers include Dan Ishler in

Oak Harbor, Carol Bauer of Freeland and Jodi Cable of Clinton.

If sculpture interests you, visit Dan Freeman’s mixed media studio in Clinton, Johnathan and Jandellyn Ward’s metal shop in Greenbank, or Gerald Pike’s “ceramic archaeology” studio in Oak Harbor. Greenbank artist Ron Ward cre-ates encaustics as well as bronze sculp-tures.

Fine woodworkers on the tour are Rob Hetler in Greenbank and Bruce Launer in Clinton.

Jewelry artists include Tammi Sloan in Langley, who makes jewelry from eco-friendly metal clay, Barbara Mundell in Freeland, whose silver and gemstone fabri-cated jewelry expresses botanical themes, and Lynn Copeland in Oak Harbor.

Some artists have more than one specialty, such as Marcy Johnson of Greenbank who is a weaver and a metal jewelry maker. Mary Ellen O’Conner in Coupeville creates metal jewelry in addi-tion to silk painting.

The tour offers 21 painters scattered around the island. Some artists share studio space with others for the tour, so visitors can view works of multiple artists in one stop.

Oil painter Libby Berry and her daugh-ter, illustrator Bonnie Christensen, wel-come painter Leogene Brown to the New Renaissance Artists studio in Freeland.

Sumi painter Angie Dixon pairs with fused glass artist Richard La Londe in Freeland, as do painters Cary Jurriaans and Gordon Enberg in Langley.

Painters Sue Owen and Nancy Anderson share display space at Blue House Gallery in Useless Bay Colony. At the Pacific Northwest Art School in Coupeville, painters Barbara Marks and Jennifer Bowman show their works.

Other painters on the tour include Pat Brookes, Joy Dennis, Pete Jordan, Kent Lovelace, James Moore, Kay Parsons, Gary Schallock, Mark Skullerud, Linda Stahoski Webster and Mike Wise.

Several artists combine eclectic materi-als to create unique art.

Lynda Rickey of Langley makes multi-media collages assembled from handmade and commercial papers, fabric, paints and fibers. At the same studio on Saratoga Road, Barbara Zander displays abstract constructions combining hand-dyed paint-ed silk and metal.

Kim Tinuviel of Freeland describes her work as “an artful orchestration of cameras, computers, wax, metal, stone and assorted mixed media.”

Patty Picco of Coupeville creates mixed-media works, utilizing encaustic techniques, collage, photography and print-making.

Kathleen Otley’s woven willow and metal wall art is in a class by itself. Steve Nowicki’s name for his shop in Oak Harbor says it all — Shock ‘n Awe Metalworks.

Be awed by the array of talented visual artists on Whidbey Island and show your support for their creative work on the Open Studio Tour.

BY BEN WATANABEStaff reporter

Shaina Nielson has been on a lot of horseback rides.

The 16-year-old from Langley rode well at the Whidbey Island Fair and qualified for the fourth time to compete at the state 4-H riding competition in September. Nielson, a junior at South Whidbey High

School, did well enough at the Island County 4-H riding events that she won a belt buckle for best showman-ship, in which the rider is judged for leading and handling the horse. She also had the overall performance high point.

“I like to call it ‘you sit there, ride around and look as pretty as you can,’” Nielson said.

For whatever reason, though, her horse’s and her performance at the state competition was a little off. Nielson missed out on plac-ing at the state fair with her horse Bentley, which she leased from former Island County 4-H’er Alissa Coupe.

“I think it was a combina-tion of us being nervous,” Nielson said. “It definitely wasn’t the best show I’ve ever had.”

Last year, Nielson and Bentley put on quite a show at the Island County Fair in Langley. Bentley was a late replacement after her longtime horse died, and the two have been performing together since July 2011.

“It was so much fun,” she said.

Nielson took part in the senior performance week-end of the Puyallup Fair. She was judged on an assort-ment of riding and eques-trian events, including riding and horse judging, which was her best competition

with a 10th place finish. As a judge, Nielson scored the kids’ events based on things like the horse’s movement, the rider’s posture, among other marks.

“Without any notes, that’s going off what’s in your head,” Nielson said.

“I’ve always wanted to judge horses. Horse judging is just one of those things I would really love to do.”

More than riding, Nielson loves caring for the big beasts like Bentley. Nielson is taking veterinary techni-cian courses at Sno-Isle Technical Center and wants to be a veterinary’s assistant. As for riding, she may com-pete in jumping or senior performance next year, but it will be a different steed than her 18-year-old white gelding.

“It’s sad to see him go to someone else, but I know he’s going to do well with who he’s with now,” Nielson said.
