South Whidbey

By KATE DANIELSouth Whidbey Record

Driving through Freeland on Highway 525, it’s likely you’ve seen the cart and ban-ner advertising Mutiny Bay Blues blueberry farm.

The farm itself is as unassuming as its marketing strategy, with a large old barn and acres upon acres of blueberry bushes situat-

ed on a property just off of Mutiny Bay Road. But by summertime, the farm will become

a bustling hive of activity, expected to produce about 20,000 pounds of berries to be distrib-uted to grocers and farm stands from Clinton to Oak Harbor.

Britt Fletcher, owner of the 16.5-acre organ-ic blueberry farm, is seeking pickers for the upcoming harvest. According to Fletcher, the opportunity could prove ripe with advance-

ment opportunities as his business rapidly expands.

He would know. Fletcher began picking at age 9, earning about 30 cents a flat, and has worked in agriculture on and off since then. Ken Petry, farm manager, has worked in the agricultural industry since 1979.

“I love blueberries,” said Petry, a sentiment echoed by Fletcher.

Fletcher bought the farm in 2009 and plant-

ed the farm’s first bushes in 2011. Last year, they distributed to South Whidbey restau-rants, grocery stores and farm stands includ-ing Payless, Red Apple, the Star Store, Clinton Food Mart and Blue Moon Farm Stand. This year, they’ll be expanding their distri-bution throughout Whidbey Island in their

Governor visits Nichols Bros.By JUSTIN BURNETT

South Whidbey Record

Washington’s top elected official was on South Whidbey yesterday visiting Nichols Brothers Boat Builders and getting his first peek of the Chimacum, the state’s newest 144-

car ferry.Gov. Jay Inslee met with company leaders and

toured the Freeland shipyard for about an hour Tuesday morning. The visit preceded a noon luncheon with the Island County Economic Development Council in Oak Harbor.

Before heading north, Inslee told The Record

he stopped at Nichols because he wanted to check out the new boat but also to see how state-funded transportation projects have trans-lated into real jobs.

Bank heist suspect looks for love from behind bars

By JESSIE STENSLAND

South Whidbey Record

He likes camping, hiking and fishing. He finds beauty mostly in a woman’s person-ality. And he wants to fall in love with the right girl.

Fit and tattooed, his pho-tos show that he looks good without a shirt.

There’s just one wrinkle; Christian Shorey is wearing orange these days. He’s a burglary and bank robbery suspect serving time in Island County jail.

Anyone browsing the per-sonals on Craiglist in recent days may have come across Shorey’s posting. He’s up front about his predicament, but asks interested women to send letters and photos to the jail.

If their photos are returned, he suggests the senders forward them to a state prison, in which he may be living for a spell.

Though he’s currently in the clink, Shorey’s search for a heart to steal is not tax-payer funded.

Inmates in the county jail don’t have access to Craigslist or even the

Clinton survey ready to start next Thursday

Some 65 residents of the greater Clinton area are due to start field work on a census of the community.

Mrs. Al Olkonen, census chairman, said response of the community has been terrific. As of last week, 40 had volun-teered to help with the census and more are signing up each day.

Mrs. Olkonen said she has heard some disturbing rumors about the census and would like to lay them to rest.

“I have heard that some are opposing the census because they feel it will result in higher taxes,” she said. “This is ridicu-lous. The main reason for the census is to find out what most people feel are our major prob-lems and to find out if there are talents in the community which are not being used to the full-est extent.”

“It’s just the first step in try-ing to make South Whidbey a better place to live.”

Sheriff defends lack of drug education

Sheriff Bud Graves came under fire from the county commissioners last week for his department’s lack of an effort to fight drug use through youth education.

The subject came up dur-ing the commissioners’ recent staff session when Linda Morris, Island County Human Services Coordinator, reported to the commissioners that local school districts had received small state grants to bolster their drug and alcohol prevention programs.

Commissioners later asked Graves why his department is not involved in any of the schools’ substance abuse pre-vention programs.

“I can answer that with a single word,” the sheriff said. “Money.”

The sheriff added that he is spread too thin and is unable to spare any staff members for educational duties.

Even if they had the money to pay for another deputy, Graves said, his first priority would be to put him in a patrol car on the road.

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said he may file a lawsuit if the county commissioners hire an out-side attorney without his approval.

A meeting between the commissioners and Banks became heated Wednesday afternoon as the elected offi-cials argued about the com-missioners’ plan to contract with an attorney to provide legal help for the update of the county’s comprehensive plan, which guides growth and development under the state Growth Management Act.

The commissioners, how-ever, were unconvinced by the prosecutor’s arguments during the lengthy debate that delved into personal attacks.

“You are portraying this conversation as if we are try-ing to do something against you,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said. “In fact in our conversation … I said I wanted to collaborate with your office to provide the best legal counsel and sup-port for this comprehensive plan that we possibly can.

“You took offense. Somehow the press was alerted and now we have this highly charged conver-sation,” she added, referring to comments Banks made to

the Whidbey News-Times for a March 11 story.

Banks told the commis-sioners that he would be willing to consider a contract with an outside attorney — if an issue arises neces-sitating “extra horsepower” — but he was concerned that a contracted attorney would be unnecessarily cost-ly since he has two talented land-use attorneys on staff.

“I think keeping the work in house in general is a bet-ter expenditure and keeps the money for other county departments,” he said.

In addition, he argued that the commissioners’ plan to hire the outside attorney is an unconstitutional infringe-ment upon his authority as the county’s elected pros-ecutor.

“It amounts to hiring someone to usurp the authority of an elected offi-cial who’s accountable to the public,” he said.

Banks said if an attorney is hired to do the work of his office over his objection that he would take what-ever legal action necessary to prevent his office from

being usurped.Commissioner Jill

Johnson interjected, asking Banks if he was threatening to sue the commissioners; he answered that he would file a lawsuit against the attorney who was usurping his authority.

“OK, I just wanted to understand who you were threatening to sue,” Johnson said.

Both Johnson and Commissioner Price Johnson said they were cer-tain that Banks was aware of their plan for hiring an outside attorney and they meant for the person to work together with Banks’ staff.

J o h n s o n claimed that Banks’ presenta-tion was “games-manship.”

“You knew enough to be c o n c e r n e d , ” Johnson said. “You voiced your concerns to the press first.”

Price Johnson said she was look-ing for “strategic advice” from an attorney, which she claimed Banks has said his office cannot provide. The commissioners also ques-tioned the speed and qual-ity of the legal services the board receives from Banks.

“Sometimes I just get tired of fighting with you when I just want to find a solution,” Johnson said.

Commissioner Rick Hannold, who largely stayed out of the skirmish, explained that the board doesn’t want to replace the deputy prosecutors, who will remain in the “driver’s seat” during the update.

He said the prosecu-tor’s office has limited r e s o u r c e s and they want “a sub-ject matter expert” to help guide the county through the update pro-cess.

“If there’s a resource

need in a department,” Banks responded, “it seems to me that the best person to make that determination is the person who runs that department. This decision was made elsewhere.”

Big bucks passed to local groups

Over $18,000 in grant money was recently awarded to various tour-ism and economy-stirring organizations by the Port of South Whidbey.

After hearing presenta-tions during the port’s regular meeting earlier this month, the board agreed to provide the following with grant fund-ing:

The Island Shakespeare Festival, $800; South Whidbey Assembly of God/Celebrate America, $1,010; the Greater Freeland Chamber of Commerce, $5,000; the Whidbey Island Arts Council, $2,500; the

Clinton Progressive Association/Mayfest, $800; the Clinton Chamber of Commerce/Clinton Thursday Market, $3,200; and the Whidbey Island Conservation District/Whidbey Island Farm Tour, $1,000. In all, $18,510 was awarded.

The port commissioners annually budget funds to support local economic development and pro-motion of tourism. The funds are awarded in the form of reimburse-ment for expenses for economic development via improvement of local business and tourism, or for capital projects which foster economic and tourism development for South Whidbey, according to a news release.

Part of the requirement for returning applicants is to provide information on

the use and effectiveness of the previous funding. Among the returning applicants in 2015, they reported that the port funds have helped to bring 23,000 tourists (up to 48 percent are from off-island) to Whidbey Island, and/or to provide them with information about South Whidbey, the release said.

City gets first slice from arts sale

Langley saw its first pay day for the sale of public-ly-displayed artwork on Wednesday morning.

In a short ceremony, artist Sue Taves gave Langley a check for $1,380 — a 20-percent share from the sale of her sculpture “Waves.” As one of the first two pieces displayed through the Langley Arts Commission, a citizen board for the city, it was displayed on Second Street for less

than a month. The arts commission

was created in 2014 and is designed to identify loca-tions for city-financed art-work and select the piec-es. Funding for the arts commission comes from an earmarked 1 percent of new capital projects.

In the case of the sculp-tures on Second Street located on the plaza, the road’s redesign in early 2014 gave the commission money for stipends to the artists.

In return, the artists display their work on one of Langley’s busier hubs for a year and have the chance to sell it. Langley gets the first offer to buy and gets 20 percent of the sale.

According to a news release from the arts commission, the group expanded its purpose and vision to acknowledge that the group also has a role in creating place, driving the economy, pro-viding opportunity and building legacy.

Bellingham inventor to visit

Langley will host a successful business product developer from Bellingham on March 31.

Lara Merriam-Smith, inventor of the Bra Barrette, will discuss the journey from idea to sales. As program manager for the Northwest Innovation Resource Center, Merriam-Smith will chat from 10:30 a.m. to noon at City Hall’s council chambers. Her presentation covers product development, prototyping, intellectual property, finding the first customer, branding and more.

Langley’s newest afford-able and intentional commu-nity housing development is scheduled for a hearing exam-iner, its first major step since 2013.

The 10-acre, 16-home proj-ect on Al Anderson Avenue had its status updated to the Langley City Council at its March 16 meeting. According to Upper Langley, LLC lead-ers, they are be ready to break ground.

“We’ve fulfilled everything we need to fulfill,” said Cary Peterson, one of the project’s land partners.

All they need is city approv-al of their site plan, the main document about how the project will be conducted and what it will look like. That determination will come from

a hearing examiner, a third-party professional.

Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio said the hearing would be at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16. Prior to that hearing, the proj-ect will go through Planning

Advisory Board review at its upcoming April 1 meeting.

Putting in the infrastruc-ture — sewer, water, electric, telecommunications — is estimated to cost $420,000. The group reportedly has

$120,000 in funding secured from people interested in own-ing lots and is pursuing other “social investors” for short-term bridge loans.

Owners must meet income guidelines. A majority of the home sites at the walk-in com-munity are tabbed for peo-ple who earn less than 120 percent of Island County’s median income — about $60,000, according to recent U.S. Census data. Four, how-ever, will not be restricted by income and the sites cost more ($90,000 compared to $60,000, plus $15,000 that goes toward the commons house).

That covers just the sites, sold under market value. Actual home construction is up to the site holder who can build up to 975 square feet depending on their means.

Upper Langley’s homes are designed to be “perpetually affordable.” Deed restrictions limit the resale price, meaning that someone can’t sell it for a large profit. Values will only increase 1.5 percent every year per a covenant deed.

So far, Peterson said six people have signed letters of intent to buy a lot.

In 2012, the City of Langley approved a Demonstration Program for Innovative Permanently Affordable Housing Projects. As a means of accomplishing that goal, the city agreed to consider modification of development regulations such as minimum lot size, street frontage, yard setbacks, parking require-ments and open space.

Another goal for the designed community is ener-gy conservation. One way the

homes will achieve that is with shared amenities, such as a washer and dryer in the “com-mons house.” By building smaller homes, energy costs to heat them are less as well.

Some of the logs taken from the property are being milled into lumber that will be used in the homes. Five of the project’s 10 acres will be preserved second growth forest, with only 1 acre used for housing and the rest for community space as gardens and meadow.

Currently the area’s for-ested land has popular pedestrian trails that snake through Langley’s woods. Councilwoman Rene Neff was delighted to hear the project’s land partners are considering connecting it to other trails.

“That would be really love-ly,” she said.

ResponseLangley lift the worst of all financial worldsEditor,

I wonder how Victoria Clipper passengers who use walkers would feel if they took a funicular or elevator from the marina and found themselves at Fourth Street and Cascade Avenue.

Actually, I don’t wonder, since I’ve worked with that population my entire pro-fessional career, almost 40 years now. They would sit down on the nearest bench and ask when the ride to town was coming, since it was too far to walk. When they were finished enjoying downtown, they would ask for a ride back to the marina, since the walk back to the funicular/elevator would be not only long, but slightly uphill as well.

If you are using a walker even a slight incline can be difficult.

In the end, Langley would financially have the worst of all possible worlds: the expense and maintenance of both a funicular/elevator and wheeled shuttle system.

SHARON EMERSONLangley

We need to let go of the ‘us versus them’ dialogue Editor,

Ah, a good discussion (Patrick Ryan’s March 21 letter), somewhat inaccu-rate, but civil. I too echo Mr. Ryan’s call for attendance at the April 14 workshop on the marina/downtown con-nection in the hope that we have an open and creative discourse on options.

In small towns there are two economic engines: the downtown and industry — we have a downtown and marina/resort district instead. Low-density residen-tial use services generally are subsidized by the other two (American Farmland Trust). My mission is to strengthen each (downtown and marina district) through a safe, convenient, consis-tent and reliable pedestrian assist — whatever it is, from van(s) to elevator — not as an amusement trick but as an economic infrastruc-ture element. And with that “assist,” yes, I want to sup-port existing uses (Boatyard Inn, port/marina, vacation rentals) and the potential Drake/Langley Inn devel-opment and future marina expansion to enhance a quality economic benefit for Langley.

The funicular/inclined elevator has been discussed for many years. It’s not a new idea and is only one of a number of options (I worked with the city/bor-ough of Ketchikan on their Creek Street tram, 1984). However, I am hoping to see

other constructive options presented and discussed on April 14 so we can let go of the “us versus them” dia-logue and use our transpor-tation infrastructure funds effectively.

I still support Paul Schell’s dream of integrat-ing a mechanical lift into new Drake development (original proposal had it on port property which the port opposed) to bolster and strengthen new Wharf Street uses and connections to uptown.

“Do-nothing” is not an option to me. And Bob Prasch, keep that humor rolling in and I hope to see you as a visiting bartender at the Dog House in the near future.

DisastersLet’s get prepared for a possible Whidbey tsunamiEditor,

Several times now I have gone back to my computer and watched videos of the

tsunami disaster in Japan and thought about how vulnerable we are here on Whidbey Island for the same thing to happen.

I also wonder how many people are prepared for such a disaster. It has been estimated that even a minor ocean-born tsunami that races in through the Strait of Juan de Fuca will take out the highway and power lines in several places, leav-ing South Whidbey stranded without power for several weeks.

It is hard to calculate the extent of the damage to our ferry docks, but they might be out of service for the same extended period. This would leave us with small boat travel as our only con-tact with the mainland.

I wonder how many beach residents are prepared for basic survival after their houses and personal posses-sions are destroyed.

If these things concern you and you would like to talk about them, call me at 360-320-0320 and let’s get prepared.

Finding a new Whidbey frontier with Mr. Spock

Editor’s column

I got a new puppy on Friday, an Australian Cattle Dog. It’s a breed renowned for its energy, dedication, loyalty and intelligence. He has a blue coat, brown feet, a black patch over one eye and will soon have pricked ears.

In recognition of those qualities, and in tribute to the late Leonard Nimoy, we named him Mr. Spock.

Buster, Pirate and Scamp were also strong contenders, however, and

might have been better fits. Like all puppies, he’s a regular Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — love and fuzz one second, tear-ing up the couch and terrorizing the cat the next.

And our nights, good grief what happened to them? Once blissful periods of sleep and serenity, they’ve been transformed into short bouts of rest interrupted by sharp teeth and frequent potty breaks into the rain. Concerning the latter, we’re doing our best but cold puppy poop between the toes remains a nightly affair.

“Fascinating,” indeed. Perhaps we should have named him Dump Truck.

But life with a puppy is a seesaw. The lows have you dig-ging through your pockets for your receipt, and the highs find you giving silent thanks for the smile they put on faces of your loved ones.

It’s also a process of discovery. We already have a dog, one who loves to run and play but is perfectly content as a couch potato. She’s game for whatever, making her a willing collaborator for personal laziness. As a puppy, but also due to his breed, Mr. Spock doesn’t live in the same universe. We knew when we got him that cattle dogs won’t tolerate sloth, so in preparation for the years ahead we’ve been making forays into some new territory, the realms of regular exercise. Shudder.

This strange and new form of recreation has been eye-opening, taking us to locations I didn’t know existed. For example, there’s this place called South Whidbey State Park on Smuggler’s Cove Road. Old growth forest, a healthy system of trails, access to the shoreline; it’s awe-some. And word is it’s entirely publicly owned. Turns out Freeland Park and Robinson Beach are also public, assets of incalculable value where humans and canines alike can stretch their legs.

Who’d have thought there’s life beyond the computer screen, that the heart can beat at more than one speed? Perhaps Mr. Spock was the right name after all. I might not be venturing where no man has gone before, but he’s cer-tainly showing me a new frontier.

Lawrence (Larry) Backe

1946 – 2015A celebration of his life

will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 28, at St. Hubert Catholic Church, 804 Third St., Langley, WA. A lunch reception will follow at noon at the Holmes Harbor Rod and Gun Club, 3334 Brooks Hill Road, Langley, WA. Larry’s family has been informed that a scholarship will be awarded in his name. In lieu of flowers, a donation in memory of Larry may be made to the Knights of Columbus Council #11357 mailing address: c/o St. Hubert’s Catholic Church, P.O. Box 388, Langley, WA 98260. Please note: Scholarship Fund.

Lawrence Edward Backe (Larry) passed away on the last day of his 68th year, March 7, 2015, with his family by his side on Whidbey Island, Wash., after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Indiana, March 8, 1946, Larry spent his formative years in Crown Point, Ind. He gradu-ated from Andrean High School, Merrillville, Ind., in 1964, and received his bachelor’s degree in industrial management from Purdue University in 1968. After working for the Ford Motor Company in Illinois as an accountant, Larry was called to serve his country in the United States Army March 1969 through February 1971. Larry earned the bronze star medal for distinguish-ing himself through merito-rious service in connection with military operations against hostile forces in Vietnam while serving as an Army first lieutenant, assigned as an assistant operations officer for head-quarters company, U.S. Army strategic communi-cations command, signal support agency, Phu-Lam, Vietnam.

In 1971, Larry met his future wife, Janet Smith, and they were married at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Crown Point, Ind., February 1972. Larry resumed his professional career with Ford Motor Company until 1975, when Larry and Janet relocated to Washington state. Larry pursued his passion of cars and his hobby as a mechanic by owning a Shell Service Station in

Bellevue, Wash. In 1979 he began his long and distin-guished career with United Parcel Service, Seattle, retiring as a regional man-ager in 2001.

Larry and Janet moved to Whidbey Island after retirement and spent many enjoyable years traveling in their RV, enjoying many dog and beach walks and working on their acreage and home in Clinton, Wash. As well as a car enthusiast and avid Mariners and Seahawks fan, Larry also pursued his passion of wine making.

Larry served as the scholarship chair with the St. Hubert’s Knights of Columbus Langley Council #11357. Prior, he served many years as the chair for the Knights’ Island County Fair booth. His donation of time and treasure to his faith never faltered and will be remembered by his friends and family as a devout Catholic who valued family, home and friends. His children, son Christopher and daughter Brenna, will remember him as a very loving father who encouraged them to pursue their education and careers but to always value who they are first. Larry’s chil-dren, family, friends and neighbors will also remem-ber his sense of humor and his positive, kind and gentle nature to enjoy life and people. His presence will be truly missed every day; however, his wonder-ful spirit will remain in their hearts always.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, William and Marie Backe. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his chil-dren, Christopher, Brenna (husband Jay Allaghi); siblings, sister Rene Backe, Tom (Carrie) Backe, Ray (Peggy) Backe and Loretta (Butch) Kaiser; Janet’s siblings, Vivienne (Bob) Sward, David (Kay) Smith and Mike Smith; many cousins, nieces and neph-ews; and his adored four-legged friend, Misty.

Suzanne G. Fulle

Suzanne (Susie) G. Fulle was born March 3, 1929, in Houston. Susie was the daughter of J.R. Goodson and Minerva Dickinson Goodson. J.R. had been in the Texas Rangers and operated a drug store in Galveston, Texas, in the Great Galveston hurricane of 1900. J.R. handed out the contents of his drug store to the survivors of that hur-ricane. Minerva Goodson was born and raised in the town of Plaquemine, La.

Susie was one of 11 children, being the second-to-last child born. Susie attended Rice University in Houston, graduating cum laude. Susie taught school in Houston for two years, and when a neighbor lady walked by as Susie was working in her garden and said she hoped Susie would always be working in her garden whenever the neighbor lady walked by, Susie determined to move to New York City. She found she had $28 when she arrived in New York and applied to the Columbia University Press for employment and obtained a job. Susie’s sis-ter, Betty, was the librarian at Rice, and she had a good friend, Dr. Bridgewater, who was an influential editor at the Columbia University Press.

Susie met Floyd Fulle in New York while Floyd was attending Columbia Law School. Upon gradu-ation from law school, Floyd migrated to Seattle and obtained a job with the firm of Weter Roberts & Shefleman and proposed marriage by mail to Susie, who accepted the proposal by telegram. Susie and Floyd celebrated Floyd’s departure for Seattle by having a bologna sandwich picnic on the Columbia campus on 116th Street in

New York.Susie is survived by her

husband, Floyd, and their three children, Will Fulle and wife, Rie, who reside in Japan, and their daughter, Laina, who is now attend-ing Mount Vernon High School and residing with Floyd and Susie’s daughter, Laura; Alan Fulle, who is a Seattle artist, having graduated from the UW with a bachelor of fine arts degree; and Laura Westendorf, who is mar-ried to Lyal Westendorf, and they have a daughter, Layla Westendorf (16), and now Laina from Japan, also 16, and a son, Logan (7).

Susie passed away March 7, 2015, after an eight-year struggle with Alzheimer’s. Floyd and Susie were married for 58 years.

There will be a memorial held at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at the Scatchet Head Community Club. A light meal will be served after the memorial service.

Robert Herbert Smith

Robert Herbert Smith was the son of Harold and Lucille Smith and the great-great-grandson of the founder of Whittier, Calif., Jonathan Bailey. He was born in Rosemead, Calif., Sept. 11, 1930; he left this world for a better place

March 8, 2015. He was pre-ceded in death by his son, Lynn Smith, and his wife of 36 years, Jeanne Louise Smith, who passed away two weeks ago to the day. He is survived by his only daughter, Lois Wenzek, of Freeland, and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Bob, as he was known, assisted his father with his business at Rosemead Feed Company, a business that expanded to three locations. During WWII, at age 14, he got a special license to drive a delivery truck. Later he would use those skills to drive for Mt. Whitney Lumber for nine months, where he would haul logs, and later he drive long-hauls. In the early ’50s, he avoided the draft by joining the Navy. His main naval occupa-tion was upon the USS Rendova, an aircraft car-rier, where he had the job of operating the catapult, which launched planes from the ship. Much of his naval experience, 1950-54, was served in the waters off Korea. It was dur-ing this time he married Thelma Bailey, the mother of his two children. The marriage ended with a life-debilitating disease, which later ended in death for Thelma.

He attended high school at El Monte High but graduated from West Covina High, both in the Los Angeles area. After his military experience, he owned a gas station 1954-55. He drove truck line 1956-59, but in 1959, he moved with his family to Strathmore, Calif., in order to work with his father and manage citrus groves. He managed groves in

Strathmore, Terra Bella, Ducor and Exeter, all in central California, between the years of 1959-1990, at which time he moved to Coos Bay, Ore. He loved to boat and got a commercial fishing license, which was mainly used for recreation-al experiences. While in Coos Bay, he and his wife, Jeanne, developed a num-ber of lifelong friendships. They came to Whidbey Island briefly during the late 1990s but returned to Coos Bay. Once again in 2013, they proceeded to Whidbey Island to be with their daughter. They lived in the Mutiny Sands area until the last months of their lives, at which time they moved to the Double Bluff area in order to be close to Lois and Darrell.

He and his wife were both members of the South Whidbey Community Church, where their son-in-law serves as pastor. A graveside service is planned for Bob at 1 p.m. Sunday, March 22, at the Langley Cemetery. He will be interred at a family plot next to his wife.

King’s picked up where it left off as the Cascade Conference champions and state 1A champions in a head-to-head match with South Whidbey on Monday.

The Lady Knights took the top three spots en route to a 115-97 win, based on modi-fied Stableford scoring at Mill Creek Country Club.

“King’s is always going to

be tough,” said Falcon head coach Tom Sage. “It’s just what it is. I thought we’d be more competitive.”

“It was a combination of mental errors,” he added.

South Whidbey was led by junior Tarra Moore, who scored 23 points through nine holes. Freshman Kolby Heggenes scored 21 points. Rosie Portillo, a senior and

two-time state tournament qualifier, scored 20 points.

Riley Yale, a sophomore, scored 19 points, and senior Meaghan de Wolf scored 14 points.

King’s Charis Tsai was the medalist with 30 points, nar-rowly edging her teammate Hannah Roh’s 29.

The loss split South Whidbey’s conference

record at 1-1. In the Falcons’ first league contest on March 19, South Whidbey beat Cedarcrest at Useless Bay Golf and Country Club 112-72.

In that match, Moore was the Falcons’ leading golfer after scoring 27 points through nine holes. She was also the match’s medal-ist. Portillo finished with 25

points. Senior Grace Stringer and de Wolf tied for third overall with 21 points each. Heggenes scored 18 points.

South Whidbey and Cedarcrest meet again next week, Tuesday, March 31 at Blue Heron Golf Course in Carnation. The Falcons’ next home match is at 3 p.m. Thursday, April 16.

The Housing Authority of Island County will open its Section 8 waiting list next month for the first time in over six years.

Beginning April 1, the public can apply to get on the list at a variety of loca-tions throughout Island County. The application window lasts 60 days, clos-ing May 31. Applications will be available at the following places once the period opens:

Good Cheer in Langley and Helping Hands in Freeland; the Island County Veterans Resource Center in Freeland; Island County Human Services, Senior Services of Island County, Compass Health Whidbey, Sunrise Services and the Housing Authority of Island County Office in Coupeville; and the

Opportunity Council, CADA and the Senior Information and Assistance Center in Oak Harbor. Additional locations include Habitat for Humanity in Freeland and Oak Harbor; North Whidbey, South Whidbey and Camano Community Clinics; and the Stanwood/Camano Senior Center.

According to the Housing Authority’s web-site, the organization owns and manages 110 public housing units for senior citizens or persons with disabilities or handicap-ping conditions, which are subsidized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Through the HUD Section 8 Program, the Housing Authority admin-isters 274 vouchers. These vouchers are used to subsi-

dize program participants’ lease payments for pri-vately owned apartments and houses located within the Housing Authority’s service area.

Applications received before April 1 or after the May 31 deadline will not be accepted. Being on the list is not an indicator that families will receive assis-tance in the near future; the agency is serving families that have been on the list for over six years. The opening provides an opportunity for families to get on the waiting list that has not been available since March 2009.

Applicants are encour-aged to read the cover letter thoroughly as incom-plete applications will be returned, which can delay the process. Each week

after the mail is received on Thursday, a lottery will be conducted to place those families that applied during that week on the waiting list.

Note that the Housing Authority office is closed on Fridays. Faxed applica-tions will not be accepted. Applications may be mailed to the Housing Authority Office, 7 N.W. 6th

St., Coupeville, WA, 98239, or dropped off in person.

South Whidbey Elementary will host a new kind of kindergar-ten information night this year.

Parents of incoming kinder-garten students have tradition-ally attended an information night which included an orientation to school policies and an informa-tive handout. This year, parents will have the opportunity to meet and hear informative presenta-tions from a variety of school staff members including kindergarten teachers, the librarian and occu-pational and speech therapists.

The orientation will take place at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 21.

Principal Jeff Cravy explained that parents will spend 10 minutes at each station, talking with each of the staff members.

In addition to gather-ing a wealth of informa-tion about the school and kindergarten in general, parents will receive helpful advice on ways in which to prepare themselves and their child for school.

The occupational therapist will

teach parents the best methods of helping their child hold a pencil

for writing, while the speech ther-apist will discuss resources for parents who may have concerns and the librarian will discuss the importance of reading at home.

“This will hit the pre-K readi-ness skills we

need them to have,” Cravy said.

Cravy explained that the orien-

tation will help to foster a connec-tion among the school, students and the home. This will be espe-cially helpful due to the increasing requirements for kindergartners to do work, such as reading, at home.

“We want it to be more of a part-nership with parents,” Cravy said.

It is the district’s goal to have all incoming kindergartners registered by the end of May. Early kindergarten registration is essential for planning, Cravy said, and allows him to ensure he has adequate staff and resources to accommodate the number of students.

Everyone prefers smaller class sizes, said Cravy, but it is diffi-cult for children to move classes once the school year has begun because bonds have already been formed with classmates and teachers.

Having a good idea of the num-ber of incoming students before-hand helps to ensure children will be set in a smaller class at the beginning of the year without the need to move.

Curiosity and excite-ment abounded on board the Mystic

Sea whale charter boat Sunday afternoon as pas-sengers rushed to the railing and windows to spy their first whales of the day, a group of five transient orcas making their way past the Mukilteo Ferry Dock.

For some, like passengers Kevin and Janet Craig, it was their first sighting of a whale in the wild.

The couple had just moved to Oak Harbor from Indiana about six months ago.

“We’re still like tourists,” Janet Craig said, laughing.

The couple said they had little prior knowledge about marine species, but were enjoying seeing them in their natural habitat.

“I really enjoyed it, it was neat,” Janet Craig said.

The sighting came within about half an hour of the boat’s 11 a.m. departure from the South Whidbey Harbor at Langley, and would be followed by a hand-

ful of additional sightings throughout the next three hours at sea.

The Mystic Sea departs from the South Whidbey Harbor at Langley for sight-ings of gray whales from March 7 through May 10. Orca season will run from May 15 through October 4, though some lucky groups such as those aboard Sunday’s cruise will have the opportunity to see both spe-cies in a single outing.

“We don’t get much bet-ter than orcas and grays in one day,” said Mystic Sea Captain Monte Hughes.

Jill Hein, a member of Beach Watchers’ and Orca Network’s board of direc-tors, serves as the volunteer naturalist aboard Mystic Sea Charters once a week. Hein makes her rounds giving educational talks and answering questions from curious passengers.

Though members of the resident orca pod have been spotted in the waters of Puget Sound year-round, gray whales and members of the transient orca popula-tion have begun to make their journey north from California through the Salish Sea to Alaska.

The grays will depart for

Alaska some time between May and early June. In the fall, more orcas are expected to arrive in the waters around Whidbey. There will also be plenty of opportunity for sightings of humpbacks, orcas and minke whales dur-ing the summer, particularly farther north near the San Juans.

For Whidbey Islanders like Orca Network co-director and co-founder Howard Garrett and fellow marine mammal enthusiasts, it is quite an exciting time of year.

Garrett explained that about 10-12 grays, the more “mysterious” of the two spe-cies, are expected to be com-ing through Puget Sound this year.

Garrett noted that these whales are more elusive in their behavioral patterns, and the nature of their rela-tionships with one another is relatively unknown.

Hein explained that the grays are “stopping in for a snack,” and had been feast-ing on shrimp in the mud-flats near Everett.

By the time they reach the sound, she said, they haven’t

eaten for four to five months. “The gray whales know

the buffet table is full of their favorite shrimp lining the shores,” Garrett said.

Orcas, which Garrett described as more charis-matic and popular, have well-documented social patterns.

Family bonds remain for life; babies stay with their mothers and grandmothers, and pods work together. The whales also transmit their cultures which determine their diets and mating prac-tices, according to Garrett.

“We know a whole lot about them, their ages and relationships, so that gives us much more to appreciate about them,” Garrett said, adding that the orca’s ability for all-encompassing cultural transmissions from one gen-eration to another is “quite fascinating and unprecedent-ed in wildlife biology.”

The Southern Resident population eats almost exclusively Chinook salmon, and has been placed on the endangered species list. The oldest member of the pod, “Granny J-7” is estimated to be about 104 years old.

Whale charter boat opera-

tors like Hughes decide the direction of their daily whale-seeking course based upon information from numerous sources, including on-shore whale-watchers, Orca Network and marine traffic radio communications.

Hughes noted that he and his passengers have spied at least one or two whales on each of his cruises thus far this year.

Sunday’s excursion was unusually fruitful, with five orcas and three gray whales spotted.

Aside from the transient pod near Mukilteo, Patch and #22, two gray whales, were seen near Glendale; a third unidentified gray was also spotted off of the Clinton Ferry Dock; and a fourth was just off of Hat Island. In addition, pas-sengers got a glimpse of a California sea lion and numerous birds.

Hughes asked the group of 58 passengers to assist in spotting the whales, a task everyone seemed happy to oblige.

“When you yell ‘Whale!’ everyone goes to one side of the boat,” Hughes said with

a chuckle. For those looking to spy a

whale from shore or aboard a private boat, Garrett said there are over 120 desig-nated spots from Olympia to Possession Pass that are ideal for sightings. The San Juan Islands are also an ideal location. Boy and Dog Park, Cascade Avenue and Seawall Park in Langley, Shore Meadows in Freeland, Possession Point, Possession Point State Park, Greenbank and Penn Cove are all rec-ommended. Orca Network also has a complete list of points available online.

The City of Langley and Orca Network will invite everyone to celebrate whales at the Welcome the Whales Festival on April 18-19. On April 19, Orca Network will also host a fundraising cruise aboard the “Mystic Sea” from 3-5 p.m. Tickets for the cruise cost $75 per person.

For more information on the festival or the sighting network, visit orcanetwork.org.

As grays and orcas make their way through Puget Sound, sighting opportunities are plentiful

“We want to see actual job creation in our state, and Nichols is a bright spot,” said Inslee, referring to the yard’s role in building half a dozen state ferries since the retirement of the steel electrics in late 2007.

The Chimacum is the lat-est of three 144-car Olympic Class ferries built jointly by Nichols Brothers and Vigor Industrial in Seattle. The hulls are fabricated by Vigor and the superstruc-tures by the Freeland ship-builder. Construction of the 144-car ferry began early this year.

Shepherded by an entourage that included CEO Gavin Higgins, Vice President Matt Nichols, and various company and state officials, Inslee was introduced to project team leaders and yard workers. One of those meetings was a reintroduction to an old friend: Fran LaFond, the yards’ storm water admin-istrator. The governor, LaFond and Nichols all went to school together as kids.

After some reminiscing, which included Inslee ask-ing why they looked so much younger than him-self, LaFond gave him a tour of the company’s onsite water treatment system. It removes copper and other toxic chemicals in parts per billion, as opposed to parts per million. It’s a source of great pride for the com-

pany.“There’s no other ship-

yards doing this,” Higgins said.

Inslee was impressed, saying such investments in the environment are vital for salmon recovery and a cleaner Puget Sound. He said later it was a highlight of his visit to Nichols.

“To have one of the best systems in the world right here is something to be proud of,” Inslee said.

In an earlier interview with The Record, Higgins said the governor’s visit was likely a first for the company in its 50-year history, making it a rare opportunity to show off the high-quality work and craftsmanship produced at the Freeland shipyard.

“I don’t think it ever hurts to have the governor come through,” Higgins said. “It’s a testament to the business.”

Tuesday’s visit wasn’t just a tour, however; it was a chance for company lead-ers to speak with the gov-ernor about several critical issues. First and foremost, they expressed their hopes for the passage of the gov-ernor’s transportation bud-get, which called for the construction of a fourth 144-car ferry.

“Of course we’re very keen for the state Department of Transportation to continue to improve its vessels, its fleet,” Higgins said.

Since 2008, the state has funded the construc-tion of six new ferries: the Chetzemoka, the Kennewick and the Salish

of the Kwa-di Tabil class; and the Tokitae, the Samish and the Chimacum of the Olympic class.

The Tokitae is in service on the Clinton-to-Mukilteo ferry route, while the Samish and Chimacum are still under construction. The Samish is currently slated for service in the San Juan Islands, and the Chimacum’s route has yet to be determined.

Inslee said the Senate’s adoption of a transportation budget makes him more

hopeful that a fourth 144-car ferry will be funded in 2015, but that there are still a few hurdles to overcome.

“We have a fair shot of getting it done this year,” Inslee said.

“I feel much better than I did six months ago,” he added.

Company leaders also emphasized their state-certified apprenticeship program. Higgins said it’s currently funded in-house, but that any state assistance would be welcome.

Internet, according to Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Wallace said someone else must have posted the infor-mation for Shorey.

Shorey, 35, made head-lines on Whidbey Island last year after Island County Sheriff Mark Brown named him as “a person of inter-est” in the robbery last September of Wells Fargo Bank in Clinton.

At least four members of Shorey’s immediate family told detectives they believed it was his voice they heard on a recording of a phony 9-1-1 call that preceded the bank heist, according to the South Whidbey Record.

The call is believed to have been intended as a diversion-ary tactic to lure deputies away from Clinton.

The bank robber wore a black mask, gloves and a camouflaged jacket over a black hooded sweatshirt. Brandishing a black semi-automatic handgun, the rob-ber approached a teller and demanded cash and the keys to an employee’s vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.

Shorey was arrested in Forks in October after alleg-edly burglarizing a bar there. He was then transferred to Island County, where he is charged with two counts of burglary in the second degree; he’s accused of breaking into the Bayview Valero gas station twice last October.

Surveillance video in both instances showed a masked man stealing cigarettes, lot-tery tickets and other items.

Tattoos on the masked burglar allegedly matched Shorey’s, according to a deputy’s report.

No charges are filed in the bank robbery case yet.

first “commercial pick.” In the future, Fletcher plans to expand even further, though he said he intends to remain a local farm, and only sell within a 100-mile radius.

There are 12 varieties of berries currently grow-ing, though they have three main strands: Duke, Draper and Liberty. The rest are test rows, which Fletcher will observe and examine to determine whether or not to plant more of them in the future.

“It’s science as well as a bit of art,” Fletcher said.

In addition to the berries, Fletcher keeps his own bees, which produce honey and pollinate the crops.

As the operation expands, Fletcher said he plans to establish a sorting shed which will include a com-mercial kitchen. The kitch-en may be used to make chocolate-dipped berries, and to produce honey, both

of which will be sold to local establishments.

Due to the business’ rapid growth, Fletcher and Petry noted that there is likely to be plentiful opportunity for advancement for pickers who decide to stay on for multiple summers. Fletcher surmises that he will have openings in everything from management to sales in years to come.

In addition to the ben-efit of hard work, pickers receive minimum wage and a chance to sample the ber-ries for quality assurance.

There’s no picking before 9 a.m. or on rainy days; the season begins around the second week in July and ends around the second week of September.

Education is essential to the farm’s operation, and Petry noted that he and other workers recently attended “blueberry school” at Oregon State University, where they learned about subjects such as plant devel-opment.

Fletcher has also estab-

lished two scholarships for individuals to use either towards a college degree or for vocational training. Each scholarship is worth $2,500. One will be available for a worker at the farm, and the other will be available to any Whidbey Island resident.

More information will

be available on the farm’s soon to be released website, Fletcher explained.

Those who would like to apply for work may do so at any time by emailing the farm at petrycustomfarm-ing1993@yahoo.com.

Form a PartnershipTrue or false? Once you have

chosen an agent to represent you in the sale of your home, and have signed a listing, you should get out of the way and let the agent fi nd a buyer.

False. Selling a home requires involvement by owners as well as the agent. Sellers are responsible for two areas: 1.) pricing the home fairly with attractive terms, and 2.) providing a home in marketable condition. The agent is responsible for preparing and implementing a marketing plan to attract suitable buyers.

Fair pricing is critical because most buyers comparison shop, eliminating homes priced above market value. The agent can provide details of recent sales in the local market, as well as pricing of similar homes currently for sale. This can be used to arrive at a price that refl ects the value offered by the home.

Offering a home in marketable condition is critical to a successful sale. Buyers expect to purchase a home in excellent condition. By performing a walk-through inspection, the agent can provide sellers with a list of needed improvements. It is up to to sellers to present a positive fi rst impression.

The agent crates an imaginative marketing plan that targets buyers groups most likely to purchase the home. Advertising and promotion attracts their attention. The home is thus positioned to appeal to the widest possible segment of purchasers.
