Golf carts the runaway favorite identified at Langley charretteBy BEN WATANABE

South Whidbey Record

Adding golf carts to move people between the South Whidbey Harbor marina and Langley’s business district was the runaway people’s choice from a workshop meeting earlier this month.

Public input results compiled by a Langley woman and the information assembled by the city’s director of Community Planning both confirmed that electric golf carts were the preferred method.

Sharon Emerson, a critic of the proposed funicular, gathered copies of the charrette

feedback forms about people’s preference for a way to improve access to the marina. On her site, langleyfunicular.com, she calcu-lated that 48.33 forms favored the golf carts as the top choice.

Michael Davolio, Langley’s director of Community Planning, said 130 matrixes

were filled out and handed to him at the end of the April 14 meeting. He didn’t give a spe-cific number, but agreed that the top choice was golf carts.

In a distant second, the funicular ranked

Freeland bald eagle lives to soar again

By JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey Record

An injured bald eagle from the Freeland area was released back into the wild Thursday.

And after months of recovery at a wildlife center on San Juan Island, the bird couldn’t have made it more clear that it was ready to go home. Secured in a plastic crate covered by a blanket, a handler had barely unlatched the gate when the bird burst out with a clank and took flight over a grassy field.

“Yeah, she kicked the door open,” laughed Vicki Taylor, a rehabilitator at Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

Barber says adieu after 30 years

By JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey Record

After nearly three decades of cutting hair on South Whidbey, Theresa Johnson set down her shears for good this week.

The longtime Freeland stylist officially retired Wednesday, closing her home-based salon on Dorsey Drive. She and her husband are heading for warmer climes and a new life in Hemet, Calif., a small city that’s about a 45-minute drive from Palm Springs. They’ll also spend part of the year in the Lake Stevens area, as fair-weather resi-dents of Lake Connor Park.

South Whidbey man seeks kidney match, donors

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Ben Brager doesn’t look sick, but he is.

Even when he is not ill, he is still sick. Brager, 24, has two autoim-mune disorders, and he will live for-ever with the threat of having colds that leave him bedridden for weeks, joint pain and occasional to regular dialysis.

Good luck getting him to offer up his life story. He’d much rather talk about upcoming plans for a lingcod fishing trip to the San Juan Islands or his September wedding.

The Freeland man who was born and raised on South Whidbey is back home now. Living with granulomato-sis with polyganiitis, an autoimmune attack and inflammation of blood ves-sels, means that his body is attacking itself. In Brager’s case, it has gone after his kidneys and his joints.

Most of his life Brager has had the disorder. He was diagnosed at 12 years old, a terrifying experience for him and his whole family. He ended up leaving the school district to be home schooled, and eventually

The Rotary Club of Whidbey Westside spent more than $5,000 on 40 graph-ing calculators for South Whidbey High School math students in need.

South Whidbey High School made graphing calculators a requirement for all math courses in the 2014-15 school year. Approximately 100 students, a quarter of the total 400 enrolled in these classes, were estimated to be unable to afford the

specialized calculators for themselves.

Clyde Monma, Youth Service chair-man of the Rotary Club of Whidbey Westside and volun-teer Math Team advi-sor for South Whidbey High School, notified the Rotary Club of the need.

“Clyde Monma is one of the most unsung heroes of South Whidbey High School and South Whidbey School District,” said John Patton, South

Whidbey High School principal, at a recent school board meeting.

The Rotary Club of Whidbey Westside worked with the Rotary International to secure a partial matching grant for the program. The project was funded through contributions from the Rotary Club, Rotary International Grant Program and several community members.

The HUB board of direc-tors added someone with a little mystery in their background.

Loretta Martin, the writer and producer of the Langley Mystery Weekend and a former executive director of the Langley Chamber of Commerce, joined the after-school hangout’s board.

The HUB’s direc-

tor, Hank Hall, recently announced her appoint-ment, citing her extensive history in business and on public advisory commit-tees as strengths that will help guide its programs.

“The HUB and its mem-bers are grateful and fortunate that Loretta has chosen to partner with us,” he said.

Skagit Valley College announced its academic honor roll for winter quar-ter 2014, and it includes residents from several South Whidbey communi-ties.

Students from Clinton are: James Canby, Alexa Hess, Shelby Lubchuk, Zane Vanderwood and Noah Winn. Honor roll students from Freeland

are Randal Leese, Rebecca Maher and Jonathan Palmer. Hannah Bond is a Langley resident and honor roll student.

To qualify, students must maintain a grade-point average of at least 3.75 in courses numbered 100 or above while enrolled in at least 12 credits.

Tech center opens doors in Freeland

Three autonomous busi-nesses have teamed up to open a technology support center in Freeland.

Located on the second floor of the Porter build-ing on Harbor Avenue, the center is home to Kennedy Research Group, The A-TECH and Gentle Mac Coaching. Together they offer a wide array of sup-port services, from com-puter and network repair to helping businesses use technology to connect with customers and personal-ized Mac coaching.

The brainchild of

Freeland residents and business owners Joel and Bethany Kennedy, the cen-ter is designed to bring all those different but comple-menting services under one roof, according to a recent news release.

“In the future we may bring more companies and services in, but already we have a well-rounded team,” said Joel Kennedy, in the release. “We’ve got a good dynamic going. We’re

helping people with their technology, and having fun doing it.”

In addition to personal-ized instruction, the plan is to offer classes and work-shops on much-needed subjects such as internet security and password man-agement.

The center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For details, call 360-331-5070.

ness, Johnson said she’s looking forward to retire-ment but that the goodbyes have been tough. Some of her customers she’s had for 30 years, and they’ve become more than just clients ‚ they’re friends. And the feeling is mutual.

“She’s loved by a lot of people,” said Freeland resident Jim Mock, who got his last trim from Johnson Wednesday.

Counting her as a sis-ter, Mock said Johnson watched him get old, joking that he didn’t have a single grey hair on his head when he first started coming to her in the late 1980s. Visiting her about once a month ever since, she’s given him approximately 350 haircuts.

Finding a new barber after so long won’t be easy.

“I’m just going to quit getting my hair cut,” he laughed. “She’s irre-placeable.”

Johnson waved off the compli-ment.

“I’ve got ’em all buffaloed,” she said.

Johnson began her career on South Whidbey as a stylist for Paul’s. She

opened her Freeland salon in the 1990s. Before that she spent time in the

Seattle area working in prestigious salons, serving on the Northwest Hair Fashion

Committee and once traveling to San Francisco to compete in a national competition.

Johnson gave up the fast-

paced city life and moved to South Whidbey, and she’s never looked back. Growing old with customers like Mock, and many others, has been a personally rewarding experience. Like bartenders, she admits she knows “a lot of secrets” and has made true and lasting relationships.

“I chose my profession well,” Johnson said.

She thanked her custom-ers for their many years of support and friendship.

COER files new Navy lawsuit

A citizen’s group that sued the Navy in 2013 has filed an additional action to get the controversial EA-18G Growlers to stop flying in Coupeville.

The Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, filed a motion Monday in federal court asking a judge to rule that the aircraft be forced to stop using a Coupeville landing strip until the Navy completes its Environmental Impact Statement in 2017.

“The EIS isn’t going to be done until 2017,” said COER board member and attorney Ken Pickard on Tuesday. “We’re being irreparably injured every time they fly. We’re not going to wait.”

The Motion for Preliminary Injunction was filed in the United

States District Court, Western District in Seattle.

While Growlers fly at both the Navy’s main Ault Field and its Outlying Field Coupeville, or OLF, the citizens group’s main concern is with the Field Carrier Operations, or touch-and-gos, in Coupeville.

COER said they are con-cerned with the homes, businesses and organiza-tions that lay in the flight path at OLF.

In recent years COER has expanded its origi-nal mission to close OLF and has stated its larger goal is to get the Growler removed from the Pacific Northwest.

Pickard said Monday’s motion was simply one of many fronts on which the group is fighting.

While the Navy is always looking to bal-ance real-life training with simulation and other locations, ceasing use of OLF is “unrealistic,” said Butch Bailey, former Wing

10 commander and presi-dent of local Navy League.

“From a national security standpoint, right now that has to be done,” Bailey said. “OLF is uniquely set up in order to provide that kind of training.”

Shrimping opens, halibut on its way

Spot shrimp fishing is officially open today between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife had previously announced the legal recreational fishing day for the popular prawns in marine areas 8-1, 8-2 and 9 — all of the waters sur-rounding Whidbey Island.

Another day is set for Wednesday, May 13.

The daily limit is 80 spot shrimp and a valid 2015-16 license with shellfish

endorsement is required. Halibut fishing also

opens soon around Whidbey. May 8-9, 15-16, 21-24 and 28-30 are the dates selected for halibut angling in marine areas 8 and 9. The daily limit for the big bottom feeders is one fish with no mini-mum size restriction.

Buses bought, will arrive this year

The South Whidbey School District is buying two new school buses.

Assistant Superintendent of Business Operations Dan Poolman explained dur-ing a school board meet-ing this past week that the district’s Transportation Vehicle Fund has unex-pected expenditures for the 2014-15 school year in the amount of $100,000.

Poolman, who is also in charge of the district’s transportation depart-ment, purchased one new school bus in the begin-

ning of the school year.The district ordered two

more new buses in March. He said the district has

the money available, but he needed board approv-al to increase the budget for the fund.

The Transportation Vehicle Fund was increased from $334,000 to $434,000.

The board approved the request unanimously.

The buses are expected to arrive in time for the start of the 2015-16 school year, as Poolman said they are usually built and deliv-ered within six months of ordering.

Waldorf students honor MayFaire

Students of the Whidbey Island Waldorf School will partake in cen-turies-old traditions dur-ing MayFaire on Saturday.

The free event will take place from 11-3 p.m. Saturday, May 2 at the school.

“They’re celebrating the return of spring and summer on its way. It’s a celebration of joy and the bounty of the summer months,” said Franney Kenney, music teacher.

Kenney added that activities such as orga-nized dancing are a good way for children to learn to work together.

Because the whole school is involved, it’s also a chance for younger students to observe their elder classmates before progressing to a new grade themselves in September.

The festival will feature

an assortment of Irish jigs and traditional American tunes played by Kenney on penny whistle and her brother on fiddle.

Other activities will include jousting, face painting, garland making, beanbag tossing and, of course, the May pole.

Kenney noted that for middle schoolers, the days leading up to the fes-tival afford a good oppor-tunity to learn a bit about its origins and Medieval history.

“It’s kind of amazing to step into a tradition that’s hundreds and hundreds of years old,” Kenney said.

According to Sheila Weidendorf, enroll-ment director, there are typically about 120 to 180 attendees at the festival each year.

Park Street to get new waterline

A water main extension on Park Street is on its way.

The Langley City Council will vote on the bid submitted by SRV Construction at its Monday, May 4 meeting. The waterline extension will be from First to Third street. Work should be done by June and will effectively loop the sys-tem.

SRV Construction has handled several recent city projects, including the waterline replacement on First Street in 2013 and the Second Street rede-sign in 2014.

graduated as salutatorian. “He was fine one day,

seemed to have the flu for four days until he had a blood draw and it showed kidney failure,” said his mother, Pam Brager.

Brager, a lifelong out-doorsman who favors hunt-ing and fishing (the real fishing, he jokes, not sitting in a boat drinking), studied marine fisheries and eventu-ally entered the world of boat building.

But getting sick regularly affected his attendance and he left his job out of respect for the company.

“I felt like I was being a burden more than an asset,” he said.

“Before, you could start missing a couple days of school,” he added. “Now, you miss a couple days of work and can’t keep a job.”

Since leaving his job and moving home in February, he’s able to be on his parents’ insurance plan. That helps cover some of the bills for his monthly doctor and special-

ist visits and the 15 prescrip-tions he takes, but even with just the co-pays, the costs are adding up.

As a means of lessening the burden, his family set up a GoFundMe account with a goal of $50,000. The amount, Pam Brager said, is a rough estimate based on conver-sations she’s had with her insurance company and from research that would pay for a kidney transplant and recov-ery. To date, $16,045 has been raised in 14 days. Other

people have volunteered to be tested as a possible kidney donor, though the family has high hopes that his father, Todd Brager, will be a can-didate.

“It’s a very humbling expe-rience,” Ben Brager said. “I’m not a big people person.”

The current amount raised online would have covered the cost of his most recent biopsy, he said.

On the website, two pic-tures show one of the side effects of a medication he

takes. It results in a “moon-face” because of the swelling of tissue, but taking the drug was never really a question for him.

“Without it, I’d be dead. You take what you can get,” he said.

Brager, an optimist, said he hardly worries about the procedures, the fundraiser, or much else. Why would he? He said his mom and fiancee do all the worrying for him while he’s busy living his life.

“It’s all gonna work out in the end,” he said.

ResponseLots to learn from similar projectsEditor,

There are two success-ful funicular projects on the West Coast: Dana Point, Calif. and Ketchikan, Alaska. The Ketchikan Cape Fox Tram is 24 years old and was developed to connect Creek Street/downtown with the Cape Fox Hotel/Conference Center and City Civic Center 130 feet above Creek Street.

Powered by a 5 horse-power motor/cable sys-tem, maintenance is low. It undergoes a daily inspec-tion (cleaning), and a half-hour per week inspection of rollers. One cable roller may be replaced per year, and the primary cable is replaced every five years due to weather (standard is 10 years) at a cost of about $10,000. Again, that’s “ …because of our weather con-ditions” (up to 200 inches

precipitation per year), according to a former main-tenance manager at Cape Fox. The car is graphically tuned every five years with maintenance costs approxi-mately $5,000-6,000 per year (costs for interior elevator/manager).

The tram was developed for conference center/civic center connections after the Creek Street Historic District Facilities Plan (1984) identified connection need through planning pro-cess. The tram experiences high-volume use due to the cruise ship industry in Alaska since mid-1990s. The tram did not attract cruise ships nor were they associ-ated with its original pur-pose. Tourist season visitors pay $2-3 per trip, generating up to $70,000 in revenue (not applicable to Langley).

I have ridden and oper-ated the tram many times since 1991 — it is an eleva-tor. Initial purchase costs were higher than expected due to Swiss construc-tion, redundant safety fea-

tures and shipping costs to Alaska.

The Dana Point project was described in a letter to the Langley City Council (Tim Callison, March 2015) wherein his research indi-cated cab replacement due to higher than expected usage and salt water dam-age from surfers — not system failure (see council minutes for more detail).

Marina’s growth an island issueEditor,

I attended the meeting in Langley, re: ideas to move people up and down from the Marina to Cascade Avenue.

The three options that make the most sense are funicular, elevator or trolley-on-wheels. All three choices can have a wheelchair lift.

Communities have a moral and legal obligation to facilitate ADA accessibil-ity for residents as well as guests.

Many people think this people-moving conversation is just a “Langley” issue. It is not just Langley-centric, for a variety of reasons.

Every property owner on South Whidbey has a financial stake in the Marina – we’ve paid for the Port of South Whidbey’s marina expansion, and we want to see the marina continue to be successful.

The $500,000 grant from Island County to Langley is from all taxpayers in Island County, and was generated in part because of the mari-na expansion.

The Wharf Street area is zoned with a commercial overlay to facilitate business

As the South Whidbey Record reflects on 91 years of continuously serving this community, we’re taking time to reflect on what that means, and our role as your local newspaper.

Self-promotion is not a strong suit for community newspapers. We are great at tooting others’ horns, but very rarely our own.

That’s why, in today’s Record, we are launching our new campaign, “We Are Whidbey,” with a full-page ad. During the coming year, we will also be sharing the story of this

newspaper and its amazing staff. In addition to 91 years, here are some other numbers to

consider:21 — That’s the number of people who work for the

Whidbey News Group, receiving benefits, vacation and sick leave. These are people who shop in our community, attend their children’s and grandchildren’s athletic events, volunteer, vote … these are your friends, neighbors and relatives who believe in the role of a community newspaper. These are people with ink in their blood.

386 — That’s the total number of years members of this staff have worked in newspapers, most of which has been at Whidbey News Group. That’s experience that’s hard to repli-cate. Within those years are thousands of hours interviewing sources, writing and editing copy, taking photos, working with advertisers, building ads, delivering missed newspapers, stuffing envelopes, taking telephone calls, building pages … the list goes on.

21 — That’s the total number of carriers who deliver the newspaper to your homes, often in the pitch black of the wee morning hours, rain, snow or hail. Whidbey Island is expan-sive, and many people live down long, unpaved roads. It’s not a glamorous job. It is on the front lines, though, and they are an invaluable part of this team.

336 — The number of twice-weekly, weekly and monthly publications we print each year. Those publications are The Record, the Whidbey News-Times, The Whidbey Examiner, Crosswind, Whidbey Xtra and Homes Land Islander.

45 — The number of special interest publications that we produce each year, including the Islander, the premier visi-tors guide to Whidbey; Best of Whidbey, a holiday gift guide; sports programs, songbook, Who’s Who and A Taste of

expansion. I hope for a new restaurant, some condos, maybe even a fresh seafood shop.

Between April/May through Sept/October, the population of both Langley and South Whidbey dramat-ically jumps in size, essen-tially doubling. Yet, some-how, the planning decisions for Langley as well as South Whidbey plan only for the six months of low/winter populations ... why?

Whether the final choice is a funicular, an elevator or a trolley on wheels — all three of these ideas have merit, and can serve well.

This decision should not fester into arguments of which idea is right, since there is no way any one idea will make everyone happy.

The future economy looks better every day. Let’s not waste time. Choose

one of the options, study the costs, and get with the program.

As Mark Twain once said, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”

Comparison in leaflet was off baseEditor,

When I attended the April 14 meeting on the proposals for the Langley marina, there were bro-chures being handed out at the entrance to the meet-ing hall and on the tables inside titled “The Langley Funicular… we can make it happen!” Upon reading the brochure I noted the author(s) of the brochure made some claims as to the similarities between Langley and Saltburn by the Sea, which is a Victorian seaside town on the North Sea in North Yorkshire, U.K. I happen

to have been to Saltburn and decided to do some current fact checking as to the claims made in the brochure. Here’s a direct quote from the brochure: “With a population of only 6,000 —  virtually the same as greater Langley and similar demograph-ics, Saltburn also has a greenbelt surrounded by a rural area with charming village shops,” etc. I did not know until I did this search on Saltburn that it even had a “cliff lift” as it’s referred to on the websites for Saltburn. I did walk out on their pier and walk along the beautiful North Sea shoreline and dine at a restaurant or two.

An online search for Saltburn found the follow-ing factual information: as of the 2011 census, Saltburn’s population was listed as 5,958. Langley’s 2013 census population is listed as 1,045. I also noted from several tourist

websites that in Saltburn are the following lodg-ing options: four hotels, seven bed and breakfasts and inns, 13 vacation rent-als of various types, five specialty lodgings (farms, cottages and apartments), a golf club with a hotel, and that currently Saltburn has 40 restaurants, just for comparisons sake between Langley and Saltburn. It seems that other than both places being located next to bodies of water there is little in common.

I find it disingenuous that this brochure’s author did not even do a cursory fact check before pub-lishing it. I encourage all readers who have Internet access to look up this infor-mation for themselves and to view the many photos online of the “cliff lift” and see the size and scope of it in comparison to Langley’s marina.

I have enjoyed the opportunities for leader-ship, adventure, and expe-rience that have presented themselves in my life. Someone once said: “One of the greatest gifts in life is the opportunity to do work worth doing.”

The position of mayor in the City of Langley on Whidbey Island in Washington State has cer-

tainly been an honor and a privilege. My primary goals in accepting the challenges of public service here were to treat everyone I met with consideration and respect, and to work hard at improving the quality of life for others. We in the city can reflect on many accomplishments, systems, and procedures that we have developed over the past couple of years by working together. Among

many great memories are the First Street water project, the Second Street transformation project, sup-porting the Port’s marina expansion project, celebra-tion of the city’s centennial, hundreds of volunteers, implementation of city rec-ognition programs, form-ing the Arts Commission, preserving the ghost shrimp for our whales, and many economic develop-ment initiatives. I am very

proud of our team — the city council, supervisors, city staff, volunteers, Main Street, and the Chamber of Commerce — and their dedication to providing quality public service.

Filing week for elected office and the November General Election is May 11-15. I encourage quali-fied citizens to consider running for mayor for the next four years and look forward to helping with

the transition as the end of my term approaches in December 2015.

Thank you for the many memories and high qual-ity experiences along the way, and the respect and support you gave me dur-ing my term in office. In working together we will continue to make a differ-ence for the citizens and the future of Langley.

Sincerely,Fred

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM A1

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

A brief and emotional pre-game ceremony Wednesday set the mood for South Whidbey baseball’s final home game of the season, a 5-1 win over King’s.

The Falcons’ five seniors all took the field and played the whole match, a small departure from the usual lineup this season. Each one had a moment to star, sepa-rate from their introduction announcement and presenta-tion with their parents. When it came time for head coach Tom Fallon to introduce his son, Trent Fallon, the words got stuck in his mouth as he choked up with tears.

“It was a great senior day,” Fallon said.

South Whidbey played slow and steady, scoring each inning except the fifth, getting a pair of runs with two outs and stranding several King’s

runners in scoring position. “You really couldn’t have

drawn it up any better; two-out RBI and throwing guys out at the plate,” Fallon said.

King’s looked poised to sour South Whidbey’s senior day. In the first inning, the leadoff batter knocked a hard-hit grounder to Falcon short-stop Ricky Muzzy, who bob-bled the ball and wasn’t able to get the out. The next hitter ripped a line drive that just slipped out of second base-man Connor Antich’s glove as he dove for it, rolling into left field.

With two on, Falcon senior Mo Hamsa got the next hit-ter to fly out to deep right field. Campbell Albertsen, a senior, caught the high fly ball and launched the ball to home plate where Falcon senior catcher Brent Piehler tagged out the runner for the double play.

“That was a huge momen-tum turner,” Fallon said.

“That was just textbook where he set up, he got behind the ball, got the ball and sent it home.”

South Whidbey took a lead it would not relinquish in the first inning. Muzzy led off with a double to the center-field fence. A grounder by Antich moved Muzzy to third, and he was brought home by a single to shallow center by Hamsa, his only hit on the day.

In the second inning, soph-omore Will Simms scored off a two-out single to center field by Albertsen.

“If we can continue to do that we’re going to be pretty tough,” Fallon said. “To get those clutch hits, it’s a back-breaker for the defense and pumps up the offense.”

Hamsa fanned two batters after beaning one to close the top of the third. Antich led with a single to shallow right-center field. With two outs, Trent Fallon brought him around with a single to left-

center field. South Whidbey jumped

ahead further in the fourth inning. Isaac Sullivan knocked a single to shallow right field and had Josiah Colby pinch run. Colby stole second and reached third on a fielder’s choice by Albertsen. With two outs, Muzzy’s grounder to the shortstop was bobbled, allow-ing Colby to score and Muzzy to reach first. Muzzy scored after stealing second and tak-ing third on the overthrow, when Antich hit an infield single and beat the throw.

King’s got on the board in the sixth with a grounder to the shortstop that brought home Knight junior Jack Kennelly. Hamsa got out of the inning and stranded a runner on first with another strikeout.

In the seventh, Fallon relieved Hamsa on the mound. He gave up a lead-off line-drive single to center field, but got the next three

batters to ground out; not a bad outing for his first time pitching this season after recovering from a preseason

knee injury. He really pitched well for

having basically one leg, Fallon said.

Facing a hapless Lakewood squad, the senior-laden South Whidbey boys soccer team put on a show with a seemingly effortless 8-0 win Wednesday night.

The 10 Falcon seniors shined in their final Cascade Conference home match, controlling the ball and racking up shot after shot, goal after goal. Even South Whidbey’s senior goalie, Charley Stelling, managed to score a goal.

For the seniors, many of whom have played together since they first started in organized soccer, punc-tuating their team chemistry with a resounding win was a perfect end.

South Whidbey, as it had in the previous game, moved at will against Lakewood (0-12-0 conference, 0-14-0 overall). The first goal was scored less than a minute into play. With all

the seniors starting, which has not happened all season, deep reserve Coel Cable fired off a shot that was deflected to senior Kameron Donohoe who headed in the loose ball.

“It felt really good, not gonna lie, especially with the weird goal that I scored,” Donohoe said. “It feels really great in my last game here.”

Cable got his second varsity goal of the season in the 11th minute (the other was scored in the pre-vious meeting with Lakewood). Taking a cross from senior Andy Zisette, Cable lofted the shot over the Lakewood goalie, then barely cracked a smile as he ran to reset in the center circle.

His demeanor belied the mag-nitude of the moment. After being cut from the program his freshman and sophomore years for being out of shape, he worked relentlessly

to cut weight and condition for his junior season when he played junior varsity. Eager to be part of the pro-gram, most of this season’s minutes came in JV matches, but he made the most of his varsity playing time and especially on South Whidbey’s senior day.

“I’m just really happy,” Cable said. “I worked those two years I didn’t get on. A lot of things that I’ve done, I haven’t seen the rewards yet. I’m really happy I finally got to see that with this (match).”

Zisette got in on the action a couple of minutes after having a header goal waved off for an offsides violation. Using his distinct height advantage, Zisette burst into the box from the left sideline and smashed in the ball with his forehead on a cross from senior Jeff Meier.

After a brief ceremony recog-nized each senior and their parents,

South Whidbey got right back to form. Zisette dribbled through three Cougar defenders, drew out the keeper and knocked in the ball past his diving arms in the 45th.

Taking a penalty kick, Stelling blasted the ball low to the goalie’s right. He dove and blocked the shot, but couldn’t collect the ball as it rolled to his left where Stelling chipped it in unguarded.

With limited reserves, South Whidbey’s coaches rotated their starters out and back in to play dif-ferent positions. Kai da Rosa, pulled for much of the second half, moved to a wing position as junior Lucas Fulton took over at striker.

Fulton scored a pair of goals with-in two minutes, in the 65th and 67th. One came on a lofted cross by Cable, the second on a cross from Meier.

“It’s really good to enter into the playoffs getting high numbers and

doing good,” Cable said. “The last couple weeks against the other teams we were able to get results but it was pretty close. It’s nice to have things click together before the playoffs.”

With the match’s outcome well in hand, South Whidbey employed a trick play. Falcon senior Bryce Auburn, one of the team’s stalwart defenders, moved to take a corner kick but faked a switch with senior Davin Kesler, who dribbled along the goal line before passing into the box for Auburn to boot it into the back of the net.

South Whidbey was poised to take the top seed in the 1A District 1 tournament next week. Before the postseason, the Falcons had to face the Sultan Turks on Friday after The Record went to press. Sultan is also a 1A Cascade Conference team and the game will be its final home game.

Owen Boram, Alohi Elliot and Indiana Huey, all age 14, have grown up on camera.

Though the three aren’t Hollywood stars, they are the subjects of an eight-year proj-ect by Langley photographer Michael Stadler.

The project, entitled “Transcending Youth,” fol-lows the progression of a Whidbey Island Waldorf School class from first through eighth grade in a series of portraits.

A selection of each gradu-ating student’s portraits will be displayed in Stadler’s new studio at 222 Anthes Ave. in Langley throughout the month of May.

A reception will take place from 4:30-7 p.m. Saturday, May 2 at the studio.

Stadler explained that the idea was posed to him by one of the students’ parents. Stadler is also the Waldorf school photographer.

About 10 of the original students have remained throughout the process. A total of 17 are graduating from middle school, and about 13 have come and gone throughout the years.

In the beginning, said Huey, he was a bit shy in front of the camera. In one of his first-year portraits, he covered his eyes with his hands, though his smile peeks out beneath.

By the time of their final photo shoots, he said, he and fellow students were equally comfortable and contempla-tive, recognizing the project’s completion.

Glancing through the pho-tos Thursday evening, the students remarked upon cer-tain memories of their own childhood and one another’s. Though Boram said he

hadn’t noticed significant changes by looking in the mirror, they were quite evi-dent when looking through the portraits.

Physically, the students said, the biggest changes have come in the form of hairstyles and weight fluctua-tions, losing “baby fat,” as Boram put it.

Mentally, they said, they gained a greater conscious-ness of the world around

them. “The bubble that we had is

slowly popping,” said Elliot. They were sheltered, she

explained, in part through the Waldorf educational structure. Unlike most of their peers, they didn’t use electronics or social media.

Stadler noted that the changes are visible through their photos. In fifth and sixth grade, he said, there is a dif-ferent look in their eyes.

“You can see something spark, or change,” he said.

Life events such as changes in interests and fam-ily dynamics also contributed the students’ changes in appearance.

As a child, Elliot was heavily involved in the arts, dreaming of becoming a professional ballerina as an adult.

Everything changed, she said, when she picked up a softball in fourth grade.

She’s now playing on the select team for the Snohomish Shock Softball Club and will soon be on her way to the World Series in California.

For Huey, he joked that it was fairly simple, amounting to “time and hormones.”

Boram noticed changes when his two elder siblings graduated from Waldorf and he began to acclimate more socially with peers.

Elliot and Boram noted that the boys began to pay more attention to their appearance in the later years, even becoming a bit competi-tive.

“You guys got pretty suave at the end there,” Stadler said.

“It was amazing how he could capture our different personalities,” Elliot said.

“He captured the things that stayed with us, like our personalities,” Boram said. “But he was also able to implicate the things that changed in us.”

Boram explained that his “stare,” a trait unique to him, remained throughout the years though several other physical appearances changed.

It’s almost like looking into their souls, Stadler said. “It’s you, you’re still there,” he said to Boram.

Stadler, a parent himself, said it has demonstrated to him the brevity of childhood.

“I will always have the vision of their youth in my mind,” Stadler said. “It’s been really touching to watch them grow up on film.”

As Frank Burns approached the gates of Dachau in the early morning hours of April 29, 1945, he had no idea what to expect.

A soldier in the 42nd Infantry “Rainbow” Division during World War II, Burns’ unit had been sent on an overnight patrol with orders to take the camp if any Schutzstaffel (or S.S.) remained within its gates.

This week, seven decades later, the former Clinton resi-dent stood at the entrance once more. The infamous sign reading “Arbeit macht frei,” — a replica of the original which was stolen in October 2014 — serves as a reminder to visitors of the thousands of prisoners who passed through the gates to be worked, starved, beaten and experimented upon until death.

It is the first time Burns, 91, has returned to Dachau, located just outside of Munich, Germany, the birth-place of Hitler’s Third Reich.

As he stood at the entrance, Burns spoke with Berlin-based NPR interna-tional correspondent Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson. The walls, the guard houses are the same, he told her.

He was accompanied by fellow veterans, Holocaust survivors and their descen-dants for a commemorative event recognizing the 70th anniversary of the camp’s liberation and the opening of a new Holocaust museum in Munich.

In addition to the public events, such as the replace-ment of the sign and a ceremony led by Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich in honor of the liberators, Burns and fellow vets were scheduled to have a private discussion with Dachau sur-vivors.

Dachau was the first con-centration camp established by the Nazi regime in 1933 and served as a model for future camps.

By the time U.S. troops overtook the camp 12 years later, more than 206,206 pris-oners of various nationalities, religions, ethnic descents and political affiliations had been held there, according to intake records.

This number did not include the thousands of Russian prisoners of war who

were executed en masse at the site.

The memories of the camp left their mark on Burns. His daughter, Clinton resident Gail LaVassar, said he kept his experiences largely to himself, though there were times when he briefly men-tioned them, such as when a long ago house fire claimed the life of a neighbor. When he told her of the tragedy, he said there were some smells from the war that he would never forget, LaVassar recalled.

Though her father said little else about his wartime experience until he was in his 70s, Burns always told his children to avoid watch-ing war movies or television shows which glorified the act.

Her father has always been humorous and easy-going, she said, except when the topic is war. It was too

painful for him to talk about, LaVassar’s mother had told her.

Burns was first exposed to war on Dec. 7, 1941. He was 17, a high school senior liv-ing in Honolulu when Pearl Harbor was attacked.

He volunteered for the Coast Guard, taking supplies by boat to the leper colony of Kalaupapa.

After graduating from high school, Burns moved to Seattle, where he met his future wife Dorothy and completed the first two years of an engineering degree at the University of Washington before being drafted in April 1944.

About four months later Burns shipped off to France, arriving in Paris on Aug. 25, 1944, the day the German garrison had surrendered, liberating the city from German occupation.

Not long after his arrival,

Burns and fellow soldiers and companions Arnold Goss and Stan Weisberg found themselves in a “crash infantry-training course” and were sent to the front lines with the 42nd Infantry (Rainbow) Division.

The group replaced those lost in heavy fighting at Schweinfurt and embarked on a march through Germany, walking 20 miles a day while dodging sporadic shots.

It was during this time that Burns first saw the corpses of German soldiers.

In an interview with The Record prior to his departure for Munich, Burns recalled his surprise at how similar the deceased looked to him and his friends, Goss and Weisberg.

“We were fighting other humans,” he recalled. “The ones that weren’t humans were the S.S. They were

behind the German soldiers, driving them.”

The Rainbow division was one of three, including the 45th Infantry and 20th Armored to liberate Dachau April 29, 1945.

By the time the 42nd arrived that morning, an earlier-arriving division had taken the camp, capturing or driving out remaining S.S.

Burns was instructed to stand guard at the gates until medical units arrived to administer aid to victims.

All he could see over the high walls, recalled Burns, was a smoke stack, which was part of the crematorium.

When service units arrived and opened the gates, Burns glanced in to see carts filled with the corpses of Dachau victims.

He said he has been contemplating that moment quite a bit as of late, while working on a speech for the memorial. Survivors speci-fied questions they’d like the GIs to answer, including how the soldiers felt when they encountered the victims’ bodies.

Burns’ emotions are no

less complex now than they were 70 years ago.

“That was one of the ques-tions asked of everybody who participated,” Burns said. “Everybody said, ‘I don’t remember how I felt.’”

“My theory is that you’re in this state of battle,” he said. “You’re extremely intense, and you’re more worried about keeping your-self alive than what happened to these poor people.”

“The other side of that is that… it is the primary memory of the war, seeing those people, the dead,” he continued. “The ones that were alive were just barely alive.”

Although Burns did not personally encounter any Dachau survivors that day, U.S. soldiers discovered more than 30,000.

“It’s something that’s been on my mind since then,” Burns said of that day in 1945.

LaVassar, who is in Seattle caring for her mother while Burns is away, wrote in an email to The Record that she gets chills when hearing of the gratitude the Dachau survivors are expressing to Burns and thinking of the lives he saved.

“My dad is a very humble man. In his conversations and writings he portrays himself simply as a soldier following orders,” she wrote. “I feel in awe. Mostly, I feel fortunate that he survived the war and I am proud that his contributions helped to bring freedom to the people detained at Dachau.”

wildlife, providing them with medical care until they are healthy enough to be released back into their origi-nal habitat.

At least 4 years old and believed to be a female due to its size and weight — about 12 pounds — the eagle was rescued in February by Freeland resident Melissa Russell on her property on East Harbor Road.

“It was hopping around [on the ground] and it just didn’t seem right,” Russell said.

She called a neighbor, Terry Ryan, and they con-tacted veterinarian Dr. Dave Parent. He and an assistant were there within the hour and collected the wounded eagle, though not without some challenge.

“This one wasn’t real happy about to be picked up,” Parent said.

The bird had been scalped, lost at least one primary feath-

er from a wing and suffered injuries to one of its feet. It’s believed they were sustained during a fight with another bald eagle.

Once back at Parent’s Freeland clinic, he provided some initial treatment, such as an exam and X-rays, and contacted Wolf Hollow. A short time later, the bird was relocated to Wolf Hollow and spent the next few months recovering from its injuries.

The eagle, which Russell has since named “Whidbey,” was fed a regular diet of veni-son, rats, herring and salmon. Taylor said they attempted to feed it other fare as well, such as quail and cod, but the bird wouldn’t touch it.

“She was very picky,” Taylor said.

Whidbey was the third bald eagle rescued from South Whidbey this year alone. Another was found by Keith and Annette Jacobs last month at their home above Double Bluff. It was trans-ported to Wolf Hollow as well and is recovering.

Russell, Ryan and Parent were among a small crowd that assembled to watch Whidbey’s release . It was also documented by a Whidbey TV crew, and can be viewed on local channel 1/501.

matrixes. Fractions were estimated based on matrixes that had more than one top choice, indicated by a num-ber ranking system.

Emerson, in her online post, said she viewed the results being an overwhelm-ing show of support for wheeled transportation and

a rejection of fixed infra-structure.

Combined, about 70 per-cent of the matrix responses preferred either golf carts, wheeled trolley, bus, widen-ing Wharf Street or doing nothing.

Davolio, h o w e v e r , said he viewed the responses as citizens being cau-tious and diligent.

“ P e o p l e want to tread carefully and not spend a lot of money until there’s a clear need,” he said in a phone interview Friday morning.

Comments on the golf cart-preferred forms ranged from those stating that grant money should not be spent at all to wanting more infor-mation about operations/maintenance costs of a funic-

ular. Some new ideas were pre-

sented from the responses. Davolio noted that a handful of people were interested in the city pursuing a combina-tion of building an over-water

boardwalk connecting the marina and Wharf Street to S e a w a l l Park, then having an elevator or funicular to connect to

First Street. Convincing Island Transit to expand its service to the marina was also offered as a possible solution.

“We’ll look at all that as well,” Davolio said. “That’s the beauty of having this kind of session. People come out and have their own ideas.”

“People are also saying,

‘Maybe there’s a short-term solution while we’re looking at a longer-term solution,’” he added.

Adding complexity to the projects is the need for the city to provide Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant service, should the city pay for any of the options. A business such as ZipCar could open, said Davolio, that would not need to be ADA-compliant and could connect boaters to the city.

The next step in the process is a report to the Planning Advisory Board at its next meeting, scheduled for 3 p.m. May 13. Davolio will relay his findings of the charrette, and the board could make decision about what projects to recommend to the city council. Davolio said he will likely update the council at its May 18 meet-ing on the board’s discus-sions, or possible decision.

Catch ‘Anne of Green Gables’

Whidbey Children’s Theater will present “Anne of Green Gables” in its fourth production of the season next week.

The play follows Anne Shirley, a “fantastically unique” and strong-willed redhead, as she navigates a

new life after being adopted by Matthew and Marilla.

Melanie Lowey will direct the show, which is based upon the 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery.

The show opens at 7 p.m. May 8 at Whidbey Children’s Theater. It will run at 7 p.m. May 9, 15 and 16 and at 2 p.m. May 10 and 17. The May 16 performance is a specially priced family show

for which all tickets cost $8. For all other performances, tickets cost $8 for students, $12 for seniors and $15 for adults.

The play is recommended for ages 4 and older. No babes in arms or late seating.

Visit wctmagic.org for tick-ets and information.

Hanna pastels on displayThe Rob Schouten Gallery will pres-

ent the works of award-winning pas-tel artist Annette Adrian Hanna in a show entitled “Beauty in the Moment — the Pastels of Annette Hanna.”

The show opens with a reception from 5-8 p.m. Friday, May 1. The works will be on display through June 1.

Hanna primarily resides in New Jersey but often spends summers on

Whidbey. “My main interests are people and

the landscape,” Hanna said, according to a recent press release.

She has been awarded for her works in a variety of media, but favors pastel. Hanna remarked that she enjoys the outdoors and plein-air painting.

“The beauty of the landscape, to me, has a very spiritual quality,” said Hanna, in the release. “I can go to the

same location in different seasons or find a different viewpoint, and it becomes an entirely different paint-ing.”

Hanna is a member of several national and regional pastel societies. She has been featured in American Artist Magazine, the Best of Pastel II, International Pastel Artist maga-zine and the Best of America, Pastel Artists, among other achievements.

Worship with Whidbey Quakers

“We are a people that follow after those things that make for peace, love, and unity,” accord-ing to early Quaker Margaret Fell.

Whidbey Island Friends Meeting (also known as Quakers) holds its regular gathering for worship 4 to 5 p.m. every Sunday at the Unitarian Universalist building, 20103 Highway 525.

The group meets in silent worship together and worship may include spoken mes-sages.

For details, visit www.whidbeyquakers.org or email Tom Ewell at tewell@whidbey.com.

Awake and alive with Easter joy

A Taize prayer ser-vice is from 7-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 6 at St. Hubert Catholic Church, 804 Third Street, Langley.

The community is invited to gather in prayer and song — awake and alive with the spirit of Easter joy. Bring your neighbors, friends, and family members to pray, sing, listen to Scripture, light a candle for your personal inten-tions, and to pray for peace and reconciliation.

All are welcome. Taize will not be

held June-August. It will resume the first Wednesday of the month, beginning Sept. 2. For details, email Laurie Julian at ljulian@whidbey.net.

Condemn not, Judge not; forgive

The Christian Science Society will hold service at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, May 3 at 15910 Highway 525 just north of Bayview and across from Useless Bay Road.

Jesus’ instructions to judge not, to condemn not, and to forgive pro-vide the foundation for the service. That recipe for mercy provides the solution to all belief in sin and everlasting pun-ishment.

For details, call the Christian Science Society at 360-321-4080.

Like gardens, lives have seeds

Unity of Whidbey will hold regular service at 10 a.m. Sunday, May 3 at 5671 Crawford Road.

The title of the ser-vice is “Like a Seed.” Like spring gardens, people’s lives contain many seeds, but it turns out that each seed does not, and cannot, reveal how it will manifest in its mature form. What seeds are people plant-ing, both consciously and unconsciously? What will grow in their lives as a result?
