Washington state voters will have a fourth chance to cast their yeas and nays for a public charter school initia-tive this November.

The million-dollar battle has little support from Island County, however, and for good reason. Charter schools are not likely to find their way to Whidbey Island any time soon, even if the measure is passed.

The scaled-down version of the public charter school mea-sure will allow up to 40 such schools in the state. Leaders in the South Whidbey School District think their problems of enrollment decline and funding decrease will likely keep any charter groups away from the South End.

“I would be very surprised if it did (impact the school district),” said Fred O’Neal, South Whidbey School Board member and its legislative representative. “We have a declining student enrollment as it is.”

“The problem on South Whidbey is making it (char-ter schools) financially viable. There just aren’t enough stu-dents.”

And if voters put their money where their mouths are, then the $0 contrib-uted to either the “for” or “against” campaigns regard-ing Initiative 1240 says Island County voters don’t care. Why should they? A report by the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools shows that rural area students are one of the smallest populations to attend charter schools, around 15 percent nationally and 37 percent in Oregon.

“It’s going to be fairly focused and limited in scope,” O’Neal said of I-1240. “It seems that the type of

Charter schools battle skips SW


LANGLEY — The Whidbey Adventure Swim course records only lasted one year.

Granted, the little open water race is only in its second year. That mat-tered little to Scott Lautman, a Burien resident, who finished the 2.4-mile course in record-setting fashion on Sept. 8 just off Langley’s shores.

“It’s there to be broken,” said Lautman, 59, of his 51:40 record.

He was joined by the women’s record-setter, Zena Courtney, in the

2.4 and Bridget Sipher in the 1.2-mile course. Courtney, a Tacoma resi-

dent, finished the four-lap race in just over an hour at 1:00:12. Sipher, an

Olympia resident, set the women’s 1.2-mile time at 31:51.

The three record-setters were joined by 25 other open water racers from across Western Washington this past Saturday. About as many people competed last year as in this year’s Whidbey Adventure Swim. More people swam the full course this year, with 14 in the 2.4-mile race and 13 finishers in the half course. Only one swimmer who registered did not swim the full course, whereas

As tortoise heists go, it was nearly perfect.

They came in as a pair just before closing. One distracted the clerk and, when the coast was clear, the other made the grab. The operation appeared planned down to the last detail and was executed without flaw.

The alleged tortoise-nap-pers overlooked just one thing: Critters & Co. Pet Center in Clinton has securi-ty cameras. Not only was the entire caper caught on tape, but store owners decided to teach the thieves a lesson by posting the video online for all the world to see.

Doh!“It’s the talk of the com-

munity,” said store manager Debbie Wilkie, with a proud smile. “I can’t go anywhere without being hit up about what happened to the tor-toises.”

The three missing reptiles, each about three months old and about three inches in diameter, are believed to have been taken about two weeks ago on Aug. 29. Store clerks say they remember seeing them in their cage that afternoon shortly before closing up shop at 6 p.m.

“They were there when I left, I thought,” said Jessica Dunn, the daughter of the shop’s owners.

She was woken the next day by her mother asking, “Where are the tortoises?” The mystery was soon solved by the store’s security recording. It showed a man and woman who appeared to be working together to steal the tortoises from their cage at the front of the store about 10 minutes before closing.

The man asked one of two store clerks to help him with feeder fish in the back while his alleged accomplice, tak-ing a quick look around to be sure Dunn was also busy with other customers, swiped

the reptiles and made for the door.

“He did the sidetrack-ing and she did the taking,” Wilkie said.

According to Detective Ed Wallace, spokesman for the Island County Sheriff’s Of fice, investigators reviewed the tape and made several attempts to contact the couple but were unsuc-cessful.

Officers ended up mail-ing them criminal citations, which requires both to show up before a judge in Island County District Court.

Failure to appear would result in a warrant for their arrest.

Although the tortoises have not been recovered, Wallace said the investiga-tion is all but over. Valued at $100 apiece, the couple can’t be charged with anything more than a misdemeanor crime as felony theft starts at $750.

“The bottom line is this is shoplifting,” Wallace said. “With our budget the way it is... I know people down there were upset they weren’t arrested and taken

to jail but our jail is full of felons.”

The lack of action by law enforcement has been frustrating for store staff. Shoplifting is a real problem and merchants calling police is one of the few actions they can take to fight back.

“You almost feel stuck, like you can’t do anything,” Wilkie said.

Posting the video online, www.facebook.com/critters.petcenter, was their attempt to take a more aggressive approach toward shoplifters and let would be offenders know it will not be tolerated.

So far it’s had exactly the effect they had hoped for.

The community is abuzz over the incident and other merchants have been alert-ed to the alleged shoplifters, Wilkie said. People have got-ten so fired up that some have even called in to report the couple’s whereabouts in the hopes they might be apprehended.

“People came in just livid mad,” Wilkie said.

It’s an inventive and dras-tic step, but one of the only ones they have. The total dollar value of the crime may not be much when it comes to the law, but it’s a big hit for a tiny mom-and-pop pet shop.

“We’re such a small busi-ness, $300 is something,” Dunn said.

Will Holbert of Freeland will become an Eagle Scout Sept. 16.

Boy�Scout�joins�Eagle�Scouts’�ranks

Will Holbert of Freeland recently completed the requirements for the highest rank in Scouting. At 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 16 at Lakeside Bible Camp, Holbert will be awarded the rank of Eagle Scout by the Boy Scouts of America Troop 57.

Holbert has been involved in Scouting since he was 6 years old when he started as a Tiger Cub in Cub Scouts.

In order to qualify to become an Eagle Scout, a scout must advance through the ranks of Scouting, com-plete an approved Eagle Scout project, volunteer in

their community, earn at least 24 Merit Badges (12 of which are specifically required), serve in a leader-ship position within their troop at each rank and be a member in good standing within their troop.

In addition, the Scout must pass a Scoutmaster conference, a local Board of Review and a district level Board of Review.

Holbert completed his required Eagle Scout project in 2011 by organizing and leading the construction of two scorekeepers booths at South Whidbey Community Park for the Junior Baseball and Softball fields.

He raised funds for the project by cutting and sell-

ing firewood to pay for the materials that were all pur-chased locally or donated.

Hanson’s Lumber, Pro-build Lumber, Frontier Building Supply and Randy Recor all donated materials to the project. The scouts and parents of Troop 57 pro-vided the labor.

Holbert has served as a Patrol Leader and Quartermaster for the Troop and is currently serving as the Senior Patrol Leader for Troop 57.

Last year, he was invited by the troop to attend the Boys Scouts of America National Youth Leadership Training Camp.

Holbert is an honor stu-dent and a sophomore at

South Whidbey High School. He plays youth soccer and is a member of the wrestling and track teams.

Holbert plans to attend college after graduating from South Whidbey High School in 2015 and he plans to study software engineer-ing.

Holbert is the son of Douglas and Deborah Holbert and the grandson of Louise Shields of Tuolumne, Calif. and Ellen Holbert of Columbia, Calif.

Friends and family are invited to attend the cer-emony at Lakeside Bible Camp in Clinton. A dinner and reception will follow the ceremony.

By JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter

Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the harassment of an elderly Coupeville woman who wrote a letter to the editor that spawned a controversy.

Deputy Chris Garden said the letter writer, Caralyn Haglund, was in the sheriff’s office crying because of con-tinuous harassing phone calls and cars driving by her home since the letter was published in the Whidbey News-Times on Sept. 5.

Garden said the behavior is criminal harassment. He urges people to refrain from calling or going to the woman’s house.

“People should grow up and be mature about this kind of thing,” he said. “It’s OK for people to have a difference of opinion.”

Haglund said the situation has been a nightmare for her and her husband. After the let-ter was published, she received harassing phone calls, day and night, until she was forced to turn off her phone. She’s get-ting a new number because she needs to stay in touch with her sister, who is dying.

“My husband keeps watch during the night. We don’t get any sleep and we are just a wreck,” she said. “This is cost-ing me my health.”

A Navy spokesperson said it’s premature for the leadership at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station to comment on the con-troversy.

“The local authorities have the lead on this matter and the Navy will provide assis-tance where needed with their

investigation,” spokeswoman Kim Martin said in a written statement.

Haglund’s letter, “Navy should act like our guests,” has definitely touched a nerve in the North Whidbey community. The letter generated more than 300 comments overnight after it was posted on the Whidbey News-Times website. The publisher of the Whidbey News-Times closed the comments because of exces-sive abuse of the terms of use.

The majority of the com-ments expressed anger at Haglund for writing the letter, which criticized the Navy for jet noise, and at the paper for print-ing it. Many resorted to swear-ing and name calling. Several people posted Haglund’s name and address. Others implied threats.

A person who identified himself as Jacob Martin, IFT for the PCs in the U.S. Navy, wrote, “I personally hope you are raped in your sleep.”

On the other hand, there were plenty of civil, intelligent comments.

“As I can empathize with you about the noise level, I would have to say that we have not forgotten who the island ‘belongs’ to. I am pretty sure it ‘belongs’ to the great state of Washington, which in turn belongs to the United States of America, which hap-pens to pay for those both-ersome jets,” Joseph Richter

wrote. “I, as a crewman on those annoying P-3’s, DO pay taxes here on the island, am registered to vote for the peo-ple who sit in the chairs that grant them power to govern us as Whidbey Island residents. How dare us pesky military people infringe on your ‘private rights.’ The same rights that me and my brothers and sis-ters fight/have fought for.”

“There is no need to bash the Navy for training require-ments they believe will enhance the skills of our mili-tary and ultimately protect the rights of those who verbally bash them,” Randy Fisher

wrote. “Take the issue up the proper channels.”

What really seemed to upset people the most was the final line of Haglund’s letter: “Listen up, Navy: We pay taxes here. I suspect you don’t. We aren’t your guests. In reality, you are ours.”

The noise from Navy air-craft is an issue that has gener-ated a lot of controversy over the years, though never at this level. Just last month, the Island County commissioners’ hearing room was packed with people who were upset about jet noise.

Haglund said she turned

over copies of the online com-ments to the sheriff’s office and the FBI.

“The real sound of free-dom is the sound of freedom

of speech. We should be able to speak without being threat-ened,” she said. “We can dis-agree on an issue, but we don’t need to be disagreeable.”

Board discusses maintenance levy

There is a lot of work to be done around the South Whidbey School District. The problem is, there may not be enough money for all of it.

The South Whidbey School Board will discuss a possible levy increase request to pay for about 30 projects across the district’s three schools and other district facilities at tonight’s meeting. Some of the maintenance issues included technology upgrades and replace-ments, security cameras, painting, track resurfacing

at the high school and middle school, carpet-ing at Langley Middle School and roof and siding fixes at South Whidbey Elementary School.

The school board will also review creating a long-range planning com-mittee. The committee was proposed by District Superintendent Jo Moccia to review programs and services for students, enrollment trends, finances and facilities evaluations. Moccia will be empowered to choose the committee’s 20 members, which include board mem-bers, district staff, teachers and other school employ-ees, as well as community members, students and recent graduates.

The meeting begins at

6:30 p.m. tonight at the board room at the South Whidbey Primary Campus, 5476 S. Maxwelton Road.

Skateboarding passes available

The Langley City Council has formally adopted rules that will temporarily per-mit the use of skateboards in residential areas of town.

The council voted unanimously to approve the ordinance package Tuesday at City Hall. They essentially lift what had been a city-wide ban on skateboards, roller skates or any other human-pow-

ered devices in the city.Bicycles were not includ-

ed in the rule changes as they have always been allowed in all parts of the city.

The lifted ban, which still prohibits the use of skateboards in commercial areas, is only temporary. The council’s decision specifies a one-year trial period; if problems occur during that time the council may choose not to make them permanent in 2013.

The trial period was a concession from council members worried about public safety. A strong recommendation for the use of helmets and other safety gear was also included in the temporary ordinance.

ElectionsPrice Johnson has experience

To the editor: I am writing on behalf of the candidacy

of Helen Price Johnson for re-election for District 1 Island county commissioner.

Helen is knowledgeable, caring, a good lis-tener with an open mind on issues, and some-one who is able to make tough decisions when required. Being a good county commissioner requires the ability to juggle numerous issues at the same time while applying clear think-ing and fair consideration to all sides. Helen has these abilities. She has honed these skills over her years as a businessperson, as a com-munity volunteer, as a South Whidbey School District school board member, and in her first term as an Island County Commissioner.

Helen had to address an Island County bud-get situation over the past few years that few people would have had the courage or apti-tude to tackle. Each of the last four years have brought increasingly difficult program prior-ity issues that have created painful cuts in all county agencies, including public safety and prosecution of offenders. This is no popularity contest. With Helen’s leadership, the county balances its budget each year and seeks cre-ative ways to make up for less revenues and keep priority programs and services alive.

What more can we ask from a county com-missioner? We need a person who is hard working, a good listener and open-minded when it comes to making decisions. These are the characteristics that define Helen.

I hope all of you will join me in voting for Helen Price Johnson for District 1 Island County Commissioner.

GoP empty on contentTo the editor: I have watched these political conventions

since I was a kid (LBJ & Goldwater). I cannot remember one as mendacious, banal, super-ficial and down right empty of any content as this one was. (That includes the conven-tions for Reagan, Dole and even Mondale!) Stunning lies and cornball sloganeering were the high points. Why have them at all? To “introduce the candidates to the nation?” Oh please!

Anyone under 30 probably doesn’t know that these party conventions used to be about voting on the party’s candidates and putting together the “planks” of their “platform” that they would run their candidates on.

They used to make speeches about the dif-

ferent candidates and speeches for or against different positions that they wanted included or stripped from the party platform. They used to argue, bargain, form coalitions and make heated deals to get things in or out of the platform or to win over delegates.

They used to vote on platform “planks.” They famously used to roll call state after state for the delegates to give their votes and they were tabulated until one of the candidates got the nomination. Occasionally there were even “upsets” and... yes, surprises.

What what was this Republican thing that went down in Tampa? At this convention they never gave any specific information about just how they were going to do anything. They couldn’t because they never stated anything that they intended to do, with the exception of three things!

Do away with Obamacare. Cut taxes on businesses (translation: corporations) and reduce regulations on businesses (again read: corporations).

They never gave any specifics about their platform or what they were running on. Nothing specific about foreign policy. Nothing specific offered about health care. Nothing at all about bringing jobs back into the country. No responsibility taken for the collapse of the economy under Bush/Cheney.

Nothing about reigning in massive wall

street criminal activity. Nothing about building any infrastructure. Nothing about women’s issues. Nothing about veterans issues or the wars that the Republicans started. Nothing about immigration. Nothing specific about education or student loans. Nothing specific about energy.

Nothing about their intentions to privatize the U.S. Postal Service, social security and Medicare/Medicaid. Nothing about their can-didate’s vast financial holdings or his secret tax returns. Nothing specific about anything. They didn’t even give a general overview of what was in their Republican party platform!

All we got were provably outright lies about Obama, vague generalities, banal sloganeer-ing and tearjerker sidebar stories that had nothing at all to do with either the candidates or the unmentioned party platform. We got an infomercial for Bain Capital and one for the Olympics with something about 9/11 mixed in. We got the jumbled and tasteless musings of a big Hollywood star (who cares?).

The whole thing was a FOX News info-mercial. (I was watching on C-Span so I avoided any of the unnecessary “commen-tary” by pundits and “expert” interpreters). Nonsense was repeated over and over as fact. Things like “Obama spends too much.” The president, any president, cannot spend any-thing, not a penny. Only congress (like this

Republican-dominated congress) can spend the government’s money. Presidents can either sign or veto their proposals. That’s it. (By the way, Gitmo Gulag is still open because Congress refused Obama’s request for funds to shut it down.)

For the love of liberty, citizens wake up! Wake your families and friends up. The last time we had a “businessman” in the White House it was Hoover which gave us the first Republican Great Depression. The govern-ment isn’t a “business” to be run for a profit!

If people swallow this simplistic, inaccurate garbage being peddled by the billionaires like Boss Rove, the Koch brothers (John Birch Society), Rupert Murdoch (Fox and the Wall Street Journal etc.) and all of their dozens of front groups (CATO Institute, Heritage Foundation etc.) then it will exhibit and prove that the Oooo Ess Aye is number one, alright. The stupidest country on the planet, TEABAGISTAN!

last year two swimmers were pulled from the course for not meeting time standards in the first lap.

“They’re all regular swim-mers,” said Jean Fankhauser, race organizer.

Fankhauser was pleased to announce everyone who entered the water for the races completed the course.

“It goes with what we’re trying to do — the race is a challenge,” he said.

Clear skies and calm seas met the swimmers in Saratoga Passage. A harbor seal also inspected the curi-ous thrashing and paddling

of 27 swim-mers, eight kayaks, three support boats and a hand-ful of paddle boarders.

As the race wore on, the current changed from relatively slack to an incoming tide. Swimmers said they felt the resistance on the longest leg of the triangle course that headed back toward the shore. The long leg also brought swimmers directly into the sun’s glare, further disorienting them.

“I found myself way off course at times,” said Langley resident Jason Hunt, 35, who competed in last year’s inaugural 1.2-mile race, too. “Maybe I swam the longer distance, even though I wasn’t supposed to.”

“The current was coming against us on that long leg. So you think you’re going fast, then you look up and you’re farther and farther away.”

The longer distance belonged to Lautman. Spectators could identify the race’s winner by his

d i s t i n c -tive swim-m i n g s t y l e , w h i c h l o o k e d like an attack on the water’s surface as he plowed ahead of

the pack. A former collegiate swimmer at the University of Washington, Lautman said he has taken to open water swimming in recent years as health issues limited his ability to exercise.

“Open water is a kick,” Lautman said. “I’m a real for-tunate guy that I wasn’t a runner or biker.

“It is a lifetime sport.” His open water resume

spans the globe. Lautman swam the English Channel, a 21-mile crossing, as well as the width of the Panama Canal, about 600 yards. Though he’s been in some of the world’s most famous open water races, he praised finding a course like the Whidbey Adventure Swim.

“It’s a beautiful course,” Lautman said. “That’s one of the cool things in an open

water swim, there is no black line to follow.

“You go to some of these things and they’re really big with 600 people. This one is really neat because you get to meet everybody, the local swimmers, the guys that put it on.”

Once the swimmers com-pleted the final lap, they head-ed for shore at Seawall Park.

Coming out of the water, though the waves were small, swimmers still felt disorient-ed and a bit wobbly as volun-teers helped them out of the water and up the barnacle-covered concrete steps.

In the 1.2-mile race, the second and third-place finish-ers were Lisa Herzinger of Langley in 32:23 and Wendy Neely of Federal Way in

34:15. In the 2.4-mile race, the second- and third-place swimmers were Stephen Freeborn, a 57-year-old Federal Way resident, in 58:09 and Charles Boulduc, a 44-year-old Vancouver, British Columbia man, in 58:29.

GO SHOPPING!Ever notice how you feel good

browsing through a full-service department store? Mannequins are impeccably dressed with the layered look. Belt buckles are polished brass and pants are a perfect, tailored fi t. Colors are coordinated, and everyone in the “group” has a smile as they sit motionless in a casual setting. The price is usually full retail.

Selling a home parallels that department store situation. You can take the discount store approach, offering your home “as-is” at below market prices, or you can merchandise it properly and attract a full retail purchaser.

Merchandising begins with a walk-through of your home to uncover needed repairs and other improvements. Your agent, playing the role of the interested buyer, makes a list of items in need of attention, then asks you to complete them before showing the home to prospects. Merchandising involves more than repairs, though. It sets the stage for buyers, making them feel at home. From fresh fl owers to the dining table set for a king’s banquet, every room in the house is “staged” for maximum buyer appeal.

Your agent will explain details such as proper lighting, furniture arrangement, and the absence of pets. Complete information about the home should be displayed, along with a property profi le buyers can take with them.

Why not merchandise your home when you sell? It can bring ready buyers, eager to pay for the image you create.

LANGLEY — Cedar Park proved it could run.

South Whidbey proved it could throw.

The football pendulum ulti-mately favored the Eagles’ persistent ground-and-pound offense over the Falcons’ air-it-out options in a 35-21 road win.

“We competed,” said Falcon co-head coach Andy Davis. “A couple turnovers and it’s a different story.”

South Whidbey relied on a couple of timely turnovers in the first half to tie the game 21-21. Cedar Park played exactly how South Whidbey’s coaches anticipated, with a run-heavy attack that favored counters to disguise which running back had the ball.

“Their blocking schemes were really well done,” said Falcon senior Pat Monell, a defensive lineman and run-ning back. “They’re a real physical team, big kids. They have that offense down to pre-cision, very little mistakes.”

The game was a see-saw early. South Whidbey kept Cedar Park from getting a first down in Falcon territory on its opening drive. Then the Falcons charged downfield with Monell, senior fullback Aaron Curfman and junior quarterback Nick French leading the way.

Curfman ran for a first down on a punt fake that set up a French touchdown run and South Whidbey’s only lead.

And it did not last long. Cedar Park junior Leif

Wildon returned the follow-ing kickoff 80 yards for a tying touchdown, then he kicked in the extra point kick.

In the second quarter, French hit junior receiver Nick Bennett with a deep pass. The wideout slipped

behind his Eagle defender for a 50-yard touchdown catch to tie the match at 14-14.

“It’s really rare to catch one of those passes,” Bennett said. “You’ve got to be look-ing, everything has to be perfect.”

Despite knowing which plays the Eagles would run, the Falcons couldn’t stop them in the second half. On the other side, the Eagles stifled the Falcon offense and didn’t allow a point in the final two quarters, while scoring two more times on runs by junior Andrew Rickman. The Eagles’ other scorers were

senior quarterback Josh Ionesi and a catch by Wildon in the second quarter.

“They had a lot of blockers, you can’t see where the ball is going,” French said. You have to trust your reads.”

French, though impres-sive with a rushing touch-down and a pair of passing scores, was often forced to run and lost the ball three times. Some of center Nate Hanson’s snaps to French hit the dew-covered turf at Waterman Field. The Falcon quarterback was left to pick up a wet ball.

“It’s just circumstance,”

French said. “Nate did an amazing job blocking tonight. The ball was wet and I had a hard time holding onto it.”

South Whidbey’s coaches called the frequency of prob-lems with the center-quarter-back exchange an anomaly.

“That’s not the norm at all,” Davis said. “It’s a hard skill. At the same time, Nate is a great lineman for us, at the same time he’s battling with guys a lot bigger than him.”

Injuries also hindered the Falcons’ bid to start the season 2-0 after beating the Chelan Goats 28-15 one

week earlier. Junior receiv-er, kicker and cornerback Cameron Coupe did not play in the second half, junior Kale Reichersamer left in the sec-ond quarter with his arm in a sling and Monell played sparse minutes in the second half.

“I jammed my thumb and popped my shoulder a little bit,” Monell said. “I can’t close my hand very well. I went in if I needed to, but if I didn’t need to I let other people go in.”

Without two of South Whidbey’s top pass-catchers out of the game, Cedar Park’s

defense focused on French and junior receiver Nick Bennett.

“Kale’s a huge asset,” French said. “Really, we’ve only got three (receivers) that have been in a varsity game with experience.”

Bennett felt the defense hone in on him. During kick-offs, Cedar Park’s coaches told kicker Wildon to kick away from Bennett.

“At the beginning of the game I was open a lot,” Bennett said. “Then they were all pointing at me say-ing, ‘Guard No. 2.’”

Cedar Park scored late in the third quarter and late in the final period to close out the game.

South Whidbey hosts con-ference opponent Granite Falls (0-2 overall) on Friday night. Last year, the Falcons torched the Tigers 36-6 in the Cascade Conference opener.

environments they’re talking about are better suited for bigger schools.”

Last year, District Superintendent Jo Moccia had district staff review U.S. Census data. She and the school board wanted to know if they were losing students to transfer, or if there were less students liv-ing on South Whidbey. They found a handful of students within the school district’s boundaries from Greenbank to Clinton transferred to other districts like Mukilteo, Coupeville or Oak Harbor. Some were home schooled, and others attended online school. But, com-pared to 10 years ago, there were just less school-age children living on South Whidbey.

O’Neal, who has pushed for South Whidbey to aggressively seek new education techniques, rejected the idea that larger school districts across the ferry route could pull students from the South End.

“It’s just so darned inconvenient and expensive to go to the other side,” O’Neal said.

Money has flowed for the pub-lic charter school fight. Charter schools are different from the cur-rent kindergarten through 12th grade, at least in the ways the initia-tive was worded, in that they would be organized and governed outside the authority of school districts. One

group in support of I-1240, League of Education Voters, stated that charter schools will be sub-ject to the same aca-demic standards as public schools, but “are free from many other regulations so they have more flex-ibility to set curricu-lum and budgets, hire and fire teachers and staff and offer more customized learning experi-ences for students.” Charter schools would not have tuition, but would be allowed to select which students are admitted, unless a lottery system is enacted. Public schools, unlike a business or private school, enroll students regardless of test scores or academic performance.

“As public schools, we accept everyone and meet them where they are,” Moccia said.

Nonprofit organizations would run the schools, though not nec-essarily just one group for all 40 charter schools, but funding would come from school district’s main revenue — public taxes that are doled out per student.

The effectiveness of the different set of schools has been a national debate in recent years. A report from Stanford University stated that of 16 charter schools it reviewed, 37 percent of students delivered learning results “that are signifi-cantly worse than their student

would have realized had they remained in traditional public schools.” The report also showed 17 percent of students showed “superior education opportuni-ty.” South Whidbey’s schools chief was hired away from a district in New York

that did not have a charter school in its boundaries, but Moccia said she was familiar with the system.

“Quite frankly, they weren’t very effective for the most part,” she said, noting one nearby school in particular that she saw become a “for-profit school.”

“Kids did not perform well.” Washington’s organized edu-

cators, both the teachers union Washington Education Association and the school district leaders orga-nization Washington State School Directors’ Association, opposed the charter school measure. O’Neal echoed arguments made by the directors’ association and the teach-ers union that the charter school initiative takes too much authority for publicly-funded education out of voters’ hands because they could not vote on a school board for the charter school.

“Charter schools aren’t the answer. The answer is innovation,” Moccia said.

More than $4 million has been

raised in sup-port of I-1240, according to the Washington State Public Disclosure C o m m i s s i o n figures as of the morning of Sept. 11. Only $58,000 was raised against the public charter school measure. Much of the money for both sides of the initiative has been raised in King County, with $3.2 million donated for I-1240 and $57,000 against it, though donors in Arkansas chipped in $600,000, as did people in California with $100,000 and $50,000 came from New York.

This is the fourth time since 1996 that Washington has voted on a public charter school measure. All three previous attempts were rejected by voters, with 58.3 percent voting “No” to Referendum 55 in 2004. Support certainly exists in the state, however, with more than 350,000 signatures on the petition to add I-1240 to the November ballot. On South Whidbey, the desire to educate differently did not surprise O’Neal.

“People are looking for alterna-tives,” he said. “People are looking for a different approach than the 150-year-old paradigm than the one we’ve got.”

“One of the big attractions of (public charter schools) to a lot of

people is you’re free to innovate, free of the con-text of bargaining agree-ments.”

In the South Whidbey School District, there are now three public alternatives. All three are housed under the umbrella of South Whidbey Academy, an alternative kindergarten

through 12th grade school with three programs: kindergarten to fifth grade, sixth to eighth grade and ninth to 12th grade.

“Our alternative school setup has been our laboratory, and it contin-ues to be,” O’Neal said.

“We’re going to prepare inde-pendent learners. At an earlier and earlier age, we’re going to start encouraging them to take control of their learning.”

One of the premises of the public charter school debate is that cur-rent public education is inadequate in Washington. O’Neal, as a van-guard of public education on South Whidbey, flatly rejected that notion. Sure, he admitted, not every stu-dent is being reached and propelled to academic success, but schools are on their way to that end.

“I think we do a pretty good job,” O’Neal said. “My kids went through the South Whidbey School District and they were excellently prepared for college and had the foundation they needed.”

“Farming feeds my soul,” says Linda Bartlett, co-owner with Valerie Reuther of Rosehip Farm near Coupeville.

Bartlett and 17 other Island farmers share some of that soul food along with techniques for growing real food at the free, 7th annual Whidbey Island Farm Tour, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 15-16.

The 2012 Farm Tour brochure is your guide to a weekend of agri-cultural fun and learning. Pick one up at local libraries, Chambers of Commerce, visitor centers, farm and garden stores, or download it from the official Farm Tour web-site, www.whidbeyfarmtour.com. The brochure contains a map of the Island with directions to each farm and details of each farm’s products.

“This year we’re really encour-aging farmers to offer multiple activities on their farms, from scavenger hunts for kids to edu-cational opportunities for learn-ing the ‘how-to’ of good farming practices,” said Sarah Cassat of the Whidbey Island Conservation District and spokesperson for the 2012 Farm Tour.

If farm critters are your thing, check out the grass-fed beef cattle at 3 Sisters Farm in Oak Harbor, see a raptor up close at Pacific Rim Institute near Coupeville, watch

a demonstration of saddle-seat riding at Wildwood Horse farm in Oak Harbor, or nuzzle an alpaca at one of the five alpaca ranches on the tour.

Cassat said local farmers have a goal of “showing what happens when produce, meat or fibers come from the farm, and how farmers can produce value-added products for steadier, year-round income.”

Several farms offer hayrides or

self-guided tours of their opera-tions and most will offer demon-strations or tutorials for folks want-ing to learn new farming skills.

“Greenbank Farm will have multiple learning stations, includ-ing a self-guided tour of their Community Supported Agriculture farm and new rain garden and a family scavenger hunt,” Cassat said.

Rosehip Farm will showcase its sustainable farming practices that

utilize hand tools over tractor use.“The educational opportunity

of the Farm Tour is important to us. We want to show what a small-scale grower can do and give con-crete ideas to home gardeners,” Bartlett said.

Like many local farmers, Bartlett has a high standard for growing nutrient-rich food without chemicals.

“We strive to exclude pests by using crop covers, aim for good crop rotation, and use soil building techniques instead of using even allowable chemical solutions,” Bartlett said.

Wilbur and Julieanna Purdue of Prairie Bottom Farm in Coupeville feed 37 local families through their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm, and hope to educate more people about their weekly produce-providing service. Their lucky CSA customers not only get several pounds of seasonal vegetables every week, but they can also pick flowers and herbs at the farm, and have a chance to buy their Thanksgiving turkeys from the farm’s free-range flock.

“We want to educate people about how small family farms can grow a variety of crops sustainably, and to show how to build up a farm in small increments without going into debt, such as our barn project-in-progress,” said Wilbur Purdue, pointing proudly to his new barn, where bean-thrashing

will be demonstrated on the Farm Tour.

In the near future, the Purdues hope to finish a produce-washing room and a cooler room for veggie storage to the barn.

Both Prairie Bottom and Rosehip Farms are CSAs, have booths at the Coupeville Farmer’s Market and provide produce to local restaurants through fellow farmer Georgie Smith’s distribu-tion service.

“Our farm community is col-laborative,” Bartlett said. “Not only is the community supportive of farms through buying at the markets and farm stands and eating at restaurants that serve locally-grown food, but the farmers collaborate with and buy from one another.”

Many farmers on the tour work with one another year-round, said Bartlett. For example, Rosehip Farm’s store sells bio-dynamically-grown grains such as kamut, barley and spring wheat from local growers. Both Rosehip and Prairie Bottom farms will sell potatoes and Rockwell beans from Willowood Farm during the Farm Tour.

“We want people to know what’s available right here in their own backyard,” said Purdue, surveying his productive acreage.

“We farmers are happy to be a part of feeding local families and to see children coming to know a farming way of life,” Bartlett said.


Ethel WatersAlways in character, Ethel

Waters left this earth with grace, dignity, and on her own terms, dying peacefully at her daughter and son-in-law’s home on Saturday, Sept. 1, 2012. Born on July 1, 1921 in Aintree, England, Ethel came to the United States with her parents when she was eight years old. Her father was a former choirmaster and she grew up surrounded by music. She studied ballet and performed in San Francisco. She wrote about having had her fill of sausage rolls, lemon tarts, and English humor.

Her interaction with us was laced with that humor, still present until the end of her life. A little bit of a rascal, shortly before she passed, she told her daughter, “I’m resting and drinking ‘Old-Fashioneds’ and then I’m going dancing.”

Ethel was preceded in death by her husband of almost 70-years, Bob Waters. For over 30 of those years they lived on Whidbey Island. When Ethel retired from Santa Barbara City Schools as Executive Asst to the Superintendent, they built their dream home (green before its time) by a pond in Clinton and planted an amaz-ing garden, which this for-merly big city girl learned to manage and preserve all it produced. After they no longer could care for its sprawling acres and resource-consuming repairs, they sold the home and moved to the “big” city of Langley. The garden’s bounty continued to be enjoyed at the new owner’s Italian restaurant. Bob also built her a sewing room, a sunroom, and a pan-try with ample counters to support the many arts and craft projects she learned

or revived after moving to the Northwest. Many of her crafts, including beautiful tea cozy sets she labored over last Christmas, were donated to the church and other fund raising events.

Always active in retirement, when she came to the Island, she organized the Silver Sneakers exercise program through Skagit Community College. Many of her new Island acquaintances joined the program, forging friend-ship bonds that continued over the next twenty-six years. Bob and Ethel both had beautiful voices. A friend recently shared that when they joined St. Augustine’s they asked if the church could use a couple of “old hacks” in the choir. They then pro-ceeded to change the qual-ity of music enjoyed by the congregation and took the choir to a new performance level. Ethel also joined the Langley Community Club as historian and treasurer for many years. She saved the club from disbanding in the late nineties by orchestrating a change in Board leadership. Because of her initiatives the club survived, the treasury is sound, and projects active.

Ethel became known as the “Queen” of SHIBAs, the Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisor program she helped establish in Island Co, after having been intro-duced to the program in CA. Initially she was the only advi-sor trained to consult with folks in South Whidbey and helped many who were con-fused by continuous changes to Medicare benefits. As the program extended to all types of insurance programs and expanded to include people of all ages, she recruited and trained additional SHIBAs. She received a Merit Award for Exceptional Volunteerism from Medicare and was hon-ored by CMS and WA groups, including a statewide nomina-tion for volunteer of the year and Langley’s Hometown Hero Award. She published a monthly article in the Senior Center Newsletter, retiring from that job at age 86.

Ethel loved to connect people from very disparate backgrounds and interests and help ease their pain and improve their lives. She wrote beautifully and creat-ed poetry for the family and close friends. She recently confided that due to finan-

cial hardship when her father died, she had to turn down a scholarship from Stanford in creative writing.

She loved to entertain and play games, including crib-bage, pinochle, and most card and domino games. A card group evolved and met monthly for many years. A few weeks ago she taught the priests of St. Augustine to play a domino game called Chicken Feet. They loved it and taught their friends. Had she lived longer she might have converted the entire con-gregation! She volunteered and was for many years the treasurer of Episcopalian Church Women (ECW).

Everyone who came in con-tact with Ethel, experienced her differently, however all agree she was exceptionally caring and nice. The woman who helped care for her these past few weeks described her as the “essence of loveliness” and was grateful to have been a short part of her life. We all learned from her. One grand-daughter recalls the extraor-dinary range of her curious mind and creative spirit, having been the recipient of her endless patience while learning sewing, quilting,

card games, flower drying and arrangements. Another recalls fondly, learning to cook chocolate pudding pie.

Ethel was preceded in death by her husband, Bob and son, Bob Jr. and leaves two daughters, Kathryn Stevens (Tucker) and Ginger Waters (Robbie Rath), a blended family of grand children and great grandchildren, many of whom got to visit with her this summer. She will be dearly missed by her family and all of those whose lives she touched.

Services will be held Sept, 14, 2012 at 3:00 PM at St, Augustine’s in-the-Woods, 5217 So. Honeymoon Bay Road, Freeland, WA 98249. In lieu of flowers, Ethel asks that donations be sent to any of the following:

St. Augustine’s Building Fund or Bayview Senior Center, 14594 SR 525, Langley, WA, 98260 or Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation des-ignated for Langley Library Branch and mailed to 104 2nd St., Langley, WA 98260.

He and Lynn Willeford, owners of the Clyde Theatre, sit in a pair of the original chairs, which have since been replaced. At center, Lynn and Blake Willeford care more for this can than the money inside. The can has been collecting money paid for tickets to the Clyde Theatre since 1937. At right, the Clyde Theatre has been a fixture in downtown Langley since 1937, and its 75th birthday is Sept. 16.

T he first step into the Clyde Theatre in Langley yields a nose full of the scent of popcorn, whether a movie is playing or not. Blue velvet

curtains darken the entrance to the theater, where rows of chairs face a screen that has reflected movies from “Gone With the Wind” to “The Bourne Legacy” and thousands in between over the past 75 years.

When the Clyde Theatre opened in 1937, the first movie to show, “You Can’t Have Everything,” starring Don Ameche, cost 25 cents to attend. While the prices have changed since then, the Clyde’s place as the center of a community has not.

The Clyde is celebrating its 75th birthday with a party beginning at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 16. Head to the Clyde in downtown Langley from 1 to 3 p.m. to see a compilation of historical videos, a slideshow and a video of the performances done at the theater over the years created by Blake Willeford, who owns the theater with his wife, Lynn Willeford.

Western Heroes will provide music for a street dance from 3 to 4:30 p.m., in front of the Clyde. Free pop and popcorn are pro-vided — as long as you get out and dance, Blake said.

After the dance at 5 and 7:30 p.m., the Clyde will show its regular movies.

“All Clyde patrons are invited,” Lynn said.Norman and Hazel Clyde built the

theater in 1937 at the height of the Great Depression. Blake bought it in 1972, and he and Lynn said they plan to keep managing the Clyde until they die, when their son, Brook, will take over.

“So it’s been like a front row seat to the community for years, from the days when Hazel Clyde used to drive around picking up kids for the Saturday matinee all over the island,” Lynn said, adding that now, the Willefords are seeing second and even third generations patronize the theater.

“We kind of delight in telling kids how their parents acted at the movies in the old days,” Lynn laughed.

But interacting with today’s youths is no laughing matter for the Willefords. They take responsibility for teaching youths how to behave in the community by pulling them aside and talking to those who need it, Blake said, adding that they even befriend many of the attention-hungry youths.

“We’ve always wanted it to be a part of the community,” Blake said of the Clyde. They try to choose movies that will please Langley’s unique audience.

“It’s an eclectic community so we need to have an eclectic program,” Lynn said, add-ing that when she hears an equal number of complaints that the Clyde shows too many independent movies or too many Hollywood

movies, she knows they’re doing just right.The Clyde shows 110 to 120 movies per

year.“So multiply that by 40 years and that’s

how many movies Blake and I have seen,” Lynn laughed. She and Blake met after Blake purchased the theater and Lynn worked there as a sweeper. She “swept” her way to the top, Blake joked.

At the entrance to the theater is the snack stand, gleaming with shiny candy wrappers and smelling of popcorn.

“We’re pretty sure this is the highest grossing per square foot place in Langley,” Blake laughed, gesturing at the 3 feet-by-3 feet snack stand.

Magic�Change�JarA special part of the stand is the Magic

Change Jar, where patrons can make their change magically multiply for good causes. The Willefords match the amount of change in the jar, and Island Athletic Club and Lindsay Communica tions also match the money, then the amount is donated to a com-munity cause. The current recipient is the Whidbey Camano Land Trust. They recently donated $1,300 to the Readiness to Learn Foundation’s Back-to-School drive.

The Clyde has a long history of com-munity service. It raised $8,600 in one night for victims of Hurricane Katrina and raised

$16,000 for phone cards for soldiers in Iraq at the beginning of the war.

“It’s not like we’re doing anything unusual for here,” Lynn said, adding that the com-munity is very generous and members often volunteer to match donations.

What makes the Willefords unique is all the fun they have helping their community. Recently, they held a ladies night at the Clyde and showed the movie “Magic Mike.” As a rare treat, the women were allowed to “hoot and holler” during the film, Lynn said. Then she sent Blake around the theater with the Magic Change Jar for donations. Lynn told them that since they couldn’t give bills to the movie’s starring actor Matthew McConaughey, they could put it in the jar for a good cause.

“We had women all over the theater wav-ing money in the air,” Lynn laughed. In 10 minutes, they collected a few hundred dol-lars — mostly in ones, Lynn said.

Another can also holds the history of the Clyde. Now covered in rubber bands, the old can that was originally used to collect ticket earnings is still in use.

“We don’t know how much money went through that can…. It got misplaced the other night and we cared less about the money than about the can,” Blake said.

same for years. Kären Grossman has been selling tickets every Thursday night for the past 35 years with free popcorn and movies as her pay.

“All the ticket sellers just do it for the love of it,” Grossman said, adding that she’s done this for longer than anything else in her life and has always loved the community aspect.

With fond memories too numerous to count, Grossman picked one Halloween as her favorite moment. Thirty years ago, when Halloween would fall on a work night, Grossman said she loved it “because so many people in the town at that time would get dressed up, whether they were going to the Clyde or going to the Doghouse to play pool.”

The only employee who’s been at the Clyde longer than Grossman is

projectionist and documen-tarian Mark Dworkin, who has worked there for 40 years.Changes

The theater has seen many improvements over the years, from new drapery in the 1980s to seismic ret-rofitting in the 1990s. When the Willefords replaced the chairs and offered the old ones to the community, “peo-ple were fighting over the chairs,” Lynn said. A few old rows of Clyde chairs can still be seen around Langley.

The room that has seen the hugest changes is the projection room. The Willefords funded the weighty cost of switch-ing from film to digital in December 2011. Lynn recalled giving away pieces of film as bookmarks and community members’ excite-ment as they held pieces to the light in search of a strip with George Clooney or a cartoon. Now, the empty reels sit on the stage behind

the movie screen, alongside the colossal projection equipment.

Without that equip-ment, the projection room is like a mansion for Blake. He was able to fit a desk and comfy chair beside the server. Instead of chang-ing reels by hand, Blake simply plugs a hard drive containing the movie into the server and he can set up timing and previews on a computer. He doesn’t even have to be in the booth for the movie to start and stop. No more scratched films, no more broken film flooding the projection booth and no more work to get incor-rectly marked reels back in order by the length of the actor’s beard — something the Willefords had to do for

“Enemy Mine,” starring Dennis Quaid.

“So my work here has been greatly dimin-ished,” Blake said. “Now if something goes wrong, there isn’t a lot to do:

reboot.”The switch also makes

it easier to transform the movie screen into a stage for speakers and PowerPoint presentations. A stage expan-sion can be added and the movie screen can be raised, opening the theater for live performances. Martha Murphy, founding director of Whidbey Childrens Theater, started the theater on the Clyde’s stage in 1982 and remained there until 2005.

“I always felt like the Clyde was like an extension of our homes. It felt like being at home being on the stage at the Clyde. Everybody loved

being there,” Murphy said, adding that she applauds the Willefords for maintaining the historical integrity of the theater.

“I think of Langley as a theater town and that is com-pletely because of the access given early on by Lynn and Blake to do live theater on the stage,” Murphy said. “Going to a movie at the Clyde Theatre is one of the great experiences of living on South Whidbey.”

“It’s a fun business, we have a good time,” Blake said. “It’s not like being a dentist.”

“Part of what’s important about the Clyde is it is still small and family owned. There’s a personal connec-tion with Lynn and Blake and people who work there,” Grossman said. “It’s just such a comfy place to be, whether you’re by yourself — a lot of people come alone and you can visit with your friends and neighbors.”

“If people really care about the Clyde and having it there, at least if everybody went to a movie once a month on the South End, the Clyde would probably be there forever, too,” Grossman said.

By JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

Parking-related costs for new and existing businesses in Langley’s Central Business District got a whole lot cheap-er last week.

The City Council Tuesday voted to adopt what officials have dubbed “sweeping changes” to the city’s existing parking rules in the hopes of

supporting local businesses, promoting infill development and attracting new commer-cial interests to the Village by the Sea.

Mayor Larry Kwarsick said the rule changes are a departure from the norm, especially for small com-munities, which commonly struggle with a lack of park-ing in downtown areas.

“This is an outside of the

box approach to give small projects … an opportunity to come into the community,” Kwarsick said.

The changes eliminate the parking requirement for each business up to 5,000 square feet, though hotels, motels and marinas are exempt as they require on-site parking in order to function.

Also discarded was a hefty fee charged to business

that couldn’t meet the city’s required number of parking spaces. For each space it couldn’t provide, merchants had to pay the city $5,000.

City officials champion the reduced regulation as offering greater flexibility for off-site parking agreements between businesses and landowners. It allows the city to also waive all or part of the parking requirement based

on a site spe-cific parking study.

The chang-es are being applauded by merchants.

“We applaud the efforts of those who have worked hard to bring about this needed change,” said Dog House owner Charlie Kleiner, in a Wednesday news release. “Under the previous rule, we would have incurred an assessment for the parking offset that would have caused us to scale back our plans to utilize the basement in the

O l y m p i c Club ‘Dog H o u s e ’ building.”

T h e results of a downtown p a r k i n g study per-formed by the planning department in 2011

provided the foundation for the ordinance changes. It revealed peak parking demand at about 67 percent, which left about 180 spaces available during peak occu-pancy.

According to city officials, it was also part of a larger and ongoing effort to sup-port economic develop and businesses in Langley. They range from reductions in building and water service connection fees to plans for the redevelopment of Second Street and a street cafe ordi-nance that stands to bolster food-service businesses.
