The early numbers are in, and they don’t look good.

Officials with the South Whidbey School District said stu-dent counts late last week show enrollment in the district continues to drop.

The latest tally shows about 30 less students than the district had expected.

“Certainly we’re disappointed and concerned, but were going to look at overall enrollment,” said Superintendent Jo Moccia.

Schools reported a total of 1,459 students across the district, but expected 1,488.

That drop pales in comparison to the overall decrease from last year’s total: 89 students.

Even so, if the enrollment esti-mate holds true until the end of the 2012 school year, it will be the

third largest decrease in district enrollment in the past 10 years.

Most of the enrollment drop was at Whidbey Island Academy and Bayview School.

“That’s really where the majority of decrease is,” Moccia said.

“We’re going to be looking at programs and see if we can find out what those decreases are about and see if it’s something we can do, or if the students simply aren’t there.”

The impact to funding was unknown, though Moccia said the district expects more students to enroll in the coming months.

“Right now, it’s too soon to tell,” she said. “Obviously it’s always better to have more (students) than you anticipated.”

There was an increase in kinder-garten students at South Whidbey Elementary School, though the

A candidate on November’s ballot for the Langley City Council is now also in the running for an appointed seat on the council.

Bruce Allen filed an application for the vacant Position 5 seat on Monday. He joins retired Langley physician Doug Allderdice, who has also submitted an application packet to the city.

If the council appoints Allen to the Position 5 seat, it would be a shortcut of sorts.

Allen was one of three candi-dates in August’s Primary Election for Position 4 on the council, a seat now held by Robert Waterman. Waterman earlier announced he would not seek another term.

Thomas Gill pulled in the most votes for Position 4 in the three-way primary race on Aug. 16, edg-ing Allen and Jonathon Moses. As the two with the most votes in the primary, Allen and Gill will appear on the November ballot.

The winner of the November race for Position 4 will take office in January.

Council members will pick a replacement for Robert Gilman — who resigned from Position 5 on Aug. 1 — at their meeting on Sept. 19.

Allen said applying for the post would give him a better shot at a council seat.

“It could give me a leg up on being on the council earlier than I

More than 400 people came out Saturday for Good Cheer’s third annual Harvest Party & Music Fest, and there was plenty of good food to go around.

At right, guest speaker Graham Kerr of “Galloping Gourmet” fame inspired an apprecia-tive crowd with stories of his first garden, sharing the harvest and healthy, favorite foods. Kerr said he was a big fan of the Good Cheer garden and the work of the local food bank: “This is exactly the city upon a hill the world needs to see.”

Fire District 3 firefighters were called to Rabbit Run Road on Saturday night after a caller reported the inside of a car was coated with a suspi-cious yellow powder.

Emergency responders trained in dealing with haz-ardous materials went to the scene, and Deputy Chief Paul Busch said they discovered a simple case of mischief.

“Somebody shot off a fire extinguisher inside of a car — vandalism,” Busch said.

The call was one of few noteworthy incidents in an unusually slow summer weekend for South Whidbey’s firefighters and EMTs.

In total, from Friday to

Sunday, firefighters answered seven calls. A typical summer weekend has about 20.

“That’s fine with me, though,” Busch said. “I’m not complaining.”

Two of the calls were for illegal burns or fires.

“We just asked them to put it out and advised them there’s a burn ban,” he said.

A burn ban has been in place since Aug. 8. Fires with natural debris are prohibited, but the ban does not include cooking fires in barbecues.

COUPEVILLE — Whidbey General Hospital officials have decided to hold off on sending another bond proposal to voters.

Hospital commissioners unani-mously reversed their previous decision Monday night to place a $50 million proposal to expand the hospital on the ballot next February. It would have been a redo of the bond that failed to reach the 60 percent supermajority in a May 17 special election this year.

Hospital CEO Tom Tomasino cited the troubled economy, the hospital’s poor reputation in the community and inadequate cover-age by local newspapers as the rea-sons for delaying the election. He said the hospital has made great strides in trying to improve care and has won numerous awards.

“We’re just not getting the cover-

age we had hoped for in the press,” Tomasino said. “Our community is often unaware of what we’re doing in the hospital.”

Tomasino pointed out that the majority of voters, a total of 55 percent, voted in favor of the bond proposal in May, though it failed to reach the necessary 60 percent.

He said South Whidbey voters were overwhelmingly in favor of the proposal, while North Whidbey voters were more reluctant.

“On the north end of the island, they have more healthcare choices than in the south,” he said. “That probably played a role.”

Tomasino also discussed a series of bond measures that have failed on the island, as well as growing poverty. He said the hospital has experienced a 65 percent increase in uncompensated care since 2008.

“Our local economy is feeling it,” he said.

Tomasino didn’t return a call for comment Tuesday morning.

Under the pro-posal rejected by voters, bond pro-ceeds would have paid for construction of a new wing at Whidbey General Hospital consisting of 39 single-patient rooms, along with space to expand existing hospital programs. If the bond had passed, it would have cost homeowners an esti-mated 34 cents per $1,000 assessed value for 26 years.

The commissioners briefly discussed the logistics of placing the measure on the 2012 General Election ballot, but they decided not to set any specific date for the eventual election.

“Give us time to work with the community,” Tomasino said. “Give

us the time to work on our reputation.”

The commis-sioners all agreed, though some reluc-tantly.

Commissioner Grethe Cammermeyer said she understands people’s unwilling-

ness to increase their taxes, howev-er small, because “it’s just another drain” in hard times.

On the other hand, the needs of the aging facility are real.

“We’re caught in a Catch-22,” she said. “We end up having to charge more because we don’t have taxpayer support and it may drive them away because we’re more expensive than other hospi-tals. We’re caught in an untenable situation.”

Commissioner Roger Case pro-posed expanding the bond to

$60 million to fund an improved clinic on South Whidbey. He said there’s a real need for an efficiently run “rural health clinic” on the South End.

Likewise, Cammermeyer said maybe they should also consider improvements to clinics on North Whidbey, which are very crowded. She said people might support the bond if they felt “something was being done for them also.”

In an interview Tuesday, Anne Tarrant, president of the board of hospital commissioners, said she doesn’t agree with Tomasino that the hospital has a poor reputation, though she feels that newspapers have not covered positive news at the hospital very well.

Tarrant said the commissioners plan to make changes in the hospi-tal’s public relations and marketing programs; she said no staffing changes in the public relations department have been proposed.

Gas prices on the rise on island

Gas prices are creeping back toward $4 a gallon on Whidbey Island.

The cost for a gallon of regular unleaded was $3.999 in Clinton, Bayview, Freeland and Coupeville early Tuesday.

In Greenbank, a sign at the Greenbank Store said the business was temporarily out of regular unleaded gasoline.

A spot check of service stations early this week found the lowest prices in Oak Harbor, with a gal-lon of regular unleaded at $3.799 at the ARCO on Highway 20 and $3.899 at the nearby Safeway.

A gallon of regular unleaded last topped the $4 mark in June on South Whidbey. The previous high above $4 was in summer 2008.

Gas prices across Washington have been

slowly climbing over the past month, according to AAA’s Daily Fuel Gauge Report.

The average cost of a regular gallon of gas in the state was $3.781 a month ago. Last week, the average price was $3.869. By Monday, it had increased to $3.887.

A year ago, the average price of a regular gallon of unleaded gas was $3.016.

In the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett area, the cost of a regular gallon of unleaded gas was $3.886 Tuesday, according to the Daily Fuel Gauge Report. That’s up from $3.873 a week ago, and $3.783 a month ago.

A year ago, a gallon of regular unleaded cost $3.007 in the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett area.

The highest reported price in the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett area was on June 22, 2008, when a gallon of regular unlead-ed was priced at $4.389.

Homeless student policy on agenda

The South Whidbey School Board will meet tonight to talk about the district’s policy on home-less students.

The existing policy was amended to specify homeless students may not be denied or delayed enrollment if they lack typical documentation such as an academic record, a medical record, proof of residency and a mailing address.

Other items on the agenda include policies related to upcoming changes on the board. In November, two new board members will replace Board Chairman Rich Parker and Board Member Leigh Anderson.

Board members are expected to discuss director orientation, and amend the policy to make clear that educating new board members will be the responsibility of the board chairman or a des-ignee, with help from the

district superintendent. New board members will be taught about public meetings, conflict of interests, governing and procedure.

The board will also talk about the process for when a director steps down, and that a written notice of resignation must be accepted by fellow board members.

Other topics on the agenda include policies that reflect recent chang-es in the Americans with Disabilities Act, and dis-trict boundaries for board members.

The board will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the board’s meeting room on the South Whibey Primary School Campus.

Man hurt in motorcycle crash

A Freeland man was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after crashing on his 2002 Triumph motorcycle on Newman Road late Friday.

Keith Nyberg was head-

ing west on Newman Road and went off the road at a curve and hit a culvert, according to the Washington State Patrol. Drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the crash.

Island County Fire District 3 Deputy Chief Paul Busch said it looked like Nyberg went end over end after hitting the culvert about 6:50 p.m. Friday.

Busch said Nyberg was drifting in and out of con-sciousness after the crash and during transport.

Newman Road was closed for three hours as the State Patrol investi-gated the accident.

A Whidbey General Hospital ambulance took Nyberg to South Whidbey High School, and then he was airlifted to Harborview.

He was still a patient at Harborview on Tuesday morning.

Water festival may be cancelled

After 20 years of organizing the popular Penn Cove Water Festival, the cadre of volunteers is trying to find some help

or may even cancel the event.

While the festival attracts throngs of visitors from on and off Whidbey Island, the small cadre of volunteers are burned out after organizing such a large event each year for two decades.

“We’ve always had a problem of getting year-round volunteers,” said Molly Hughes, a member of the Penn Cove Water Festival Association, add-ing that plenty of people are willing to devote time on the day of the event.

After putting together the 20th anniversary fes-tival several months ago, Hughes said exhaustion is taking its toll on board members.

Organizers are now considering canceling next year’s festival, or reducing its size. The reduction in size doesn’t seem viable because it wouldn’t eliminate such costs as insurance, por-table toilets and racers’ costs and prize money.

Hughes is organiz-ing a meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19, at the Coupeville United Methodist Church, and hopes new volunteers will come forward to serve on the board.

Thank you

To the editor:We want to express our deepest apprecia-

tion to our volunteer fire department for their amazing service and rescue of our beloved puppy Angie from what would likely have been a tragic ending.

About a week ago our dog found herself stranded about 50 feet below the edge of our bluff and about 150 feet above the water, trapped along the sheer bluff by some vegeta-tion that must certainly have caught her fall.

We were in a bit of a panic and finally called 911, and were greatly relieved when at least seven of our local volunteers arrived and quite skillfully rigged up and rappelled over the bluff, placing our dog in a fitted harness then hauling her up to safety. All of these folks dropped whatever they were doing and came to the rescue. We were so impressed with their skill and selflessness, and are very grate-ful to them. Thank you so very much.

In response

To the editor:Campaign season is warming up and criti-

cal hopefuls are scrutinizing the incumbents, scratching for loose strands to pull or cracks in the system to exploit, all of which is nor-mally accepted democracy in action.

The responsibility of our voting public, however, is to try to see things from a broader perspective than the slippery sound bites that candidates use to incite emotional responses instead of level headed understanding.

A current issue making the news is criti-cism of our county’s juvenile offender treat-ment program and facilities. It was noted that the facility has recently had less than capacity occupancy. They suggest that it be shut down and offenders sent to other counties for deten-tion and correction. They allege a cost savings or even a profit.

It should be noted that the reported “dra-matic decrease in the number of kids that end up at the facility” is cause for praise of the prin-ciples and programs pursued by leaders such as Judge Hancock, Sheriff Brown, Prosecutor Banks, former Superior and Juvenile Court Administrator Mike Merringer, and appar-ently followed by the current Administrator Brooke Powell, Detention Manager Gerald

Murphy, those administering the drug courts, and those who work for and at their direc-tion.

Particularly for juveniles, justice that is remedial rather than merely knee-jerk-puni-tive requires wisdom, understanding and foresight instead of the simple-minded angry hammer approaches more likely used in uncaring out-of-county facilities. It also costs more at first.

But when one realizes that for decades the national cost of incarceration has typi-cally run close to the average worker’s annual income, one realizes that reducing recidivism and crime rates ends up saving far more than the up-front costs that bring the rates down. Every recidivist “converted” equals a worker’s annual salary saved to taxpayers, to say nothing of the reduced losses to victims. Nationally we have the highest rate of incar-cerations among industrialized nations. But here in Island County we have reversed that, and that deserves applause.

Every offender encouraged to be appre-ciative of our American way of life, given an optimistic opportunity commensurate with their abilities, and turned into an integrated member of society, not only is rescued from a life of misery to everyone including him or her self, but saves taxpayers money by the bushelful.

The value to the offender alone deserves high recognition and respectful apprecia-tion. The program has been a success, and should be praised and protected instead of jettisoned.

To the editor:Last week Whidbey General Hospital gave

10 transcriptionists 60 days layoff notice. Some may say that their layoffs are just an unfortunate sign of our economic times. But at Whidbey General “unfortunate signs” are only for non-administrators.

What would happen to administrators if released without cause?

The chief human resource officer, Carolyn Pape, chief operating officer Hank Hanigan, chief financial officer Joe Vessey, director of quality and patient safety Teresa Fulton and the chief nursing officer would receive a very nice package right out the taxpayers’ checkbooks. You and I would give them: nine months salary and benefits, (including medical, dental and vision coverage) and up to $10,000 in outplacement services to assist them in “employment opportunities.” Apparently CEO Tom Tomasino with his quarter-million-dollar plus annual package

gets an even sweeter deal.If austerity measures are required then

they must be shared at the top. But at Whidbey General Hospital there is a “them,” the employees, who get dumped on the street — and there is an “us,” the administration, who gets the golden parachute.

One thing that doesn’t exist at WGH is a team. This administration is generous in feathering its own mattress, but is unwill-ing to pay employees for years of overtime underpayments. And why over the past six months have there been resignations from one administration position and six depart-ment managers? These are resignations with no good byes. They just packed up their paper clips and were out the door.

With a little over two years of Tom Tomasino’s “leadership,” the fabric of Whidbey General Hospital, a critical community asset, is unraveling. He has brought us labor law vio-lations, Medicare billing infractions, a failed bond measure, a derailed ADP payroll system and an increase of administration positions from three to five. Now he is gutting the hos-pital’s managerial core, which on a day-to-day basis holds it all together.

It is time to end this failed on-the-job-trainee CEO experiment.

LANGLEY — In a battle of the birds, the Falcons came out with their feathers unruffled.

Thanks to South Whidbey’s doubles teams, Falcons boys tennis won its first match of the season against Anacortes on Friday.

A come-from-behind win by freshman Noah Frank gave the Falcons a 4-3 edge against the visit-ing Seagulls.

Frank, South Whidbey’s third singles player, lost the first set 1-6 to Caleb Wigen, then saved a match point in the second set tie-breaker to win 7-6 (8-6). He closed the third set 6-3 for his second win of the season.

“Twice he has shown steady composure and gutsy play in a tough matchup,” said South Whidbey head tennis coach Karyle Kramer.

In doubles, South Whidbey’s top team of juniors Hayden Nichols and Kyle Simchuk defeated Seagulls duo Brant Johnson and Tristan Massey, 6-3, 6-4.

Cameron Baldwin and Charley Stelling beat Anacortes doubles team Riley Ochs and Ale Phillips in three sets. Baldwin, a Falcons junior, and Stelling, a freshman, won 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

The third doubles match was also decided in three sets. South

Guy Sparkman powers a forehand against Reed Welch on Monday. As South Whidbey’s number one singles player, Sparkman is 0-3 on the season after losing against Anacortes on Friday.

South Whidbey’s offense broke through Concrete’s defense early and often in a 54-34 rout on Friday.

At halftime, the Falcons led the Lions 44-14. Coming off a 17-0 shutout loss against Bellingham the week before, finding the end zone felt good for South Whidbey’s starters.

“It was really good for us to get that (win) as a team,” said senior safety and co-captain Avery Buechner. “That’s just us playing like we should.”

He said the team was aggressive on offense, defense and special teams, and played relentless throughout the game.

“All the skill position guys, just about, scored,” Buechner

said. He credited the offensive

and defensive lines for put-ting pressure up front.

“Our D-line just blew them up,” he said.

Aaron Curfman scored three touchdowns. Buechner had a 25-yard touchdown run.

South Whidbey kept its offense mostly on the ground, with only three passes that Buechner could recall. One of those passes resulted in one of Curfman’s scores.

The Falcons had starting quarterback Nick French in the game, after he sat the first one out with an ankle injury. There was little need to throw, Buechner said, because the Falcons’ starting tailback and offensive line did most of the work.

“Sam Lee just ran the ball hard,” Buechner said. “Our O-line had their D-line on skates.

“Nick French being back was huge.”

Once the Falcons built a comfortable lead, South Whidbey’s coaches sat most of the starters during the sec-ond half.

All-conference kicker junior Cameron Coupe did not play. His ankle was exam-ined Tuesday and Buechner hoped they’d have Coupe back on the field soon.

“We’ve all got our fingers crossed,” Buechner said.

It was South Whidbey’s final non-conference game before the beginning Cascade Conference play against Granite Falls on Friday at Waterman Field.

Part of the credit goes to junior runner Lilli Stelling. She finished the two mile course in 12 minutes, 42.07 sec-onds, which put her in seventh place among junior girls. It was her career best two mile time.

All of South Whidbey’s junior girls finished with career bests. Nora Felt ran the course in 14:03.48; Bonnie Klamm finished in 14:17.3; and

Anna Hood finished in 15:30.94.

The three South Whidbey senior girls were close to their career best times.

Jessica Cary finished in 14:21; Marina Kovic ended her two-mile run in 15:16.56; and Taya Jae was done in 15:32.74.

The lone Falcons fresh-man finished in 15:03.26 for her first high school cross country meet. No South Whidbey sopho-mores raced at the invite that included schools from several classifica-tions around Puget Sound such as Everett, Bellingham and Oak Harbor.

The boys team fin-ished in 21st place among 30 teams. First-year cross country runner Noah Moeller, a senior, was the Falcons’ best racer. He finished 16th out of 95 racers in the senior boys division in 11 minutes, 15.50 sec-onds.

South Whidbey’s other senior boys finished in 54th and 85th places. Will Zink, team captain, completed the two mile course in 12 minutes, 16.09 seconds. Michael Cavendar crossed the finish line in 13 minutes, 20.17 seconds.

Junior Jhamil Bader-Jarvis ran his second-best two mile time in 12:14.97.

Five Falcon freshmen set their marks, too, because it was their first high school cross country meet. Cole Zink had South Whidbey’s second-best time with 11:55.90 and finished 14th among freshmen competitors.

The other fresh-men finishers: Andy Zisette, 12:46.08; Anders Bergquist, 12:46.43; Truman Hood, 12:48.95; and Anthony Kovic, 13:45.51.

Sehome won the invite in both the boys and the girls races.

briefly

Whidbey junior Chase Collins and freshman Trent Fallon beat Garret Manion and Matt Irving, 6-3, 1-6, 6-2.

Anacortes’ top singles player Jared Wigen defeated junior Guy Sparkman, also a co-captain, 6-4, 6-3.

“Guy hasn’t found his rhythm yet,” Kramer said. “Both losses so far have been to guys he can beat. He’ll need to get more aggressive overall to beat the best players on other teams.”

Number two singles Jack Hood lost 6-2, 6-1 to Michael Kim. South Whidbey’s fourth singles player, Jonathon Peterson, lost 6-4, 6-0 to Campbell Torres.

South Whidbey struggled against Bellingham, a Northwest Conference perennial favorite, Monday afternoon. The varsity matches finished in less than 90 minutes of play with Bellingham

winning 7-0. The Red Raiders returned its top

doubles team that finished fifth in the state 2A tennis tournament last year. Juniors Auden Schilder and Shane Miller made quick work of first-time doubles pair Hood and Simchuk in a 6-1, 6-2 win.

“It seems like we got the strat-egy down a little bit too late in the game,” Simchuk said. “They were really good at volleying.

“I was playing a little sloppy today. Kramer was telling us not to hit it to Clinton and to keep it on the court.”

Simchuk was previously paired with Nichols, and Hood played second singles, so it was an adjust-ment for both players.

“He has new strengths and weaknesses that Hayden didn’t have,” Simchuk said. “I missed Hayden today at the net, but Jack was good on his serves and returns.”

Kramer also changed her second doubles team, combining Stelling and Peterson, both freshmen.

Bellingham’s more experienced Chad Cheldelin, a sophomore, and Dustin Watson, a senior, won 6-4, 6-4.

The only doubles team that remained intact, Collins and Fallon, lost to Sam Ferguson and Jacob McIntosh, 6-1, 6-2.

Sparkman lost to senior Reed Welch, 6-0, 6-2.

“I was happy with the results since the last two matches haven’t gone the way I hoped,” Sparkman said.

After the first set, he met with both his new Coach Kramer and his previous coach, Tom Kramer. During the break, the coaches urged him to take risks and become the aggressor by stepping into his shots and moving the ball from side to side, instead of getting into baseline rallies with Welch.

The result was winning two games, which Sparkman said was vast improvement from his previ-ous two matches.

“Mr. Kramer said to take this chance to use this as practice.”

Baldwin, playing singles for the first time this season, lost to Bellingham junior EJ Troutman, 6-0, 6-0.

Nichols, also a first-time singles player, lost to Bellingham junior Brad Dale, 6-1, 6-3.

South Whidbey’s only unde-feated player, Frank, lost to Riley Fulton, 6-3, 6-4.

The Falcons travel to Bellingham to play Sehome on Friday, a late match added last week to the schedule.

Offense overpowers Friday Harbor, Mount Baker in girls soccer winsBY BEN WATANABE

South Whidbey Record

South Whidbey’s girls soc-cer team is two steps closer to improving last season’s dismal 2-12 record after defeating Friday Harbor and Mount Baker.

On Saturday against Mount Baker, the Falcons overcame the Mountaineers 2-0 on goals from freshman outside midfielder Samantha Baldwin.

Her goals came on polar ends of the clock.

The first score was early in the first half as she broke free down the side; the sec-ond mirrored the first, only late in the second half.

“She’s a real good fresh-man who plays club over town,” said South Whidbey head coach Ben Rusch. “She was working real hard all game and basically ran the other team down.”

For the second game in a row, South Whidbey’s defense played a shutout. Conditioning was a point of emphasis for Rusch during the summer and the pre-season, and it paid off as the Mountaineers struggled to keep pace with the Falcons’ forwards and mids. Keeping the ball on Mount Baker’s half of the field allowed the defense to be well rested when the ball came their way.

“Everyone held their shape and position so well,” Rusch said.

Getting the first win was a good start for Rusch. At the season’s first game against Friday Harbor, South Whidbey won 2-0.

“We, during the pre-season, have been working on a winning mentality,” Rusch said.

“They were really excited, they were really upbeat. I thought it was a good first game.”

Falcons junior Lindsey Grimm scored the first goal in the first half. Playing outside midfielder, Grimm chased down a loose ball near the halfway line for a

breakaway goal. Her speed and aggressiveness moved her from goalkeeper last season to midfielder, forward and defender this season.

“She really can play any-where on the field,” Rusch said.

Makenzie Peterson scored the second goal.

Teammate junior Paige Farmer stole the ball and played it inside, passed to another midfielder then dropped the ball to Peterson, a senior co-captain and cen-ter midfielder, for the score.

In the second half, the Falcons defense kept the Wolverines away from junior keeper Ellie Greene, which Rusch said limited her saves

to only a few. “For the most part, our

defense held Friday Harbor outside our side of the field,” Rusch said.

Friday Harbor’s best opportunity came on a penal-ty kick, which the Wolverine player missed wide.

Senior defenders Brianna Haimes and Amanda Lutsock were crucial to stop-ping the Wolverines’ offense and maintaining the shutout.

“They control the defense and when a ball crosses over midfield they deal with it quickly,” Rusch said. “They make the challenge hard so they make the player not want to come back again.”

With the first win over,

Rusch reflected upon the efforts his team put into practice.

“It feels pretty good to know that what we’re doing out at practice is getting through to the girls and they’re implementing it on the field,” he said.

The Cascade Conference season opener for the Falcons was an away game against Granite Falls (1 win, 0 draws, 1 loss) on Tuesday.

South Whidbey’s confer-ence home opener against Sultan (0-0-1) is at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15.

In typical Pacific Northwest fashion, we’ve gone from moaning over our lack of summer weather to mild complaints about how hot and dry it has been this month.

Lawns are brown, gardens are gasping for water, and even our tomatoes finally decided to turn red. I’m not, however, putting away all of my green tomato recipes just yet.

Although I’ve heard the term “Indian

summer” used a number of times in reference to this marvel-ous

period of weather we’ve been experiencing, technically this is not what’s happening. Why? Because we’ve not yet had our first frost. While there are more than a few variations of the term “Indian Summer,” almost all refer to a period of exceptionally warm (70 degrees or above), hazy weather that comes unexpectedly after a frost.

According to most accounts, the term came into use during Colonial times, when native Indians regularly carried out raids on the intruding colonists. The raids typically ended when the first snows of fall appeared, because the snow made it easier for the retali-ating colonials to track the Indians back to their camps.

However, following the early snowfall often came an unexpected period of sun and warmth, during which the raids would resume. Thus, Indian summer came

to be the term the colonists used for these unexpected summer-like occurrences.

Maybe. There are other historians who believe it was simply a term the colonists used to describe the time in the fall when the Indians were harvesting corn and squash, their fall crops. As an aside, this is when our forefathers also discovered the many wonderful uses for corn, or maize, given to them by friendly natives.

I grew up living next to an Indian reservation and many of the kids from the reserva-tion were schoolmates, as well as playmates. If a hot, sunny, dry spell came along after school had started, which always brought about the whining worst in us, we all called it Indian summer, with no idea why. If it hap-pened after school started, it was Indian summer and we only knew that we wanted to be out in it, not squirming in

a hot classroom.That’s still the way I feel; if

it’s sunny, bright and beauti-ful, we need to be out in it, not squirming in front of a hot computer, which is why I’m ending this column right now and heading for the beach. The tide just turned and is on its way in, which makes for great mucking about on the flats, and we all know these days will be gone too soon. Unless, of course, there’s an Indian summer in our future.

RECIPESIt’s never easier to eat

fresh fruit and vegetables than during these marvelous harvest days of late summer. Only a couple of weeks ago, we were complaining about how long everything was taking to ripen and become edible; now we’re dealing with an abundance that has us scrambling to enjoy it all before it ends. Green beans,

for example. For reasons I won’t even go into, they’re my least favorite fresh veg-etable, but right now they’re almost as ubiquitous as the zucchini, and we’re eating them on a daily basis. In my ongoing search for ways to make green beans palatable, I came across this recipe in a recent Cook’s Country magazine; it’s now on my list of vegetable favorites.

GREEN BEANS WITH CRANBERRIES, WALNUTS & BLUE CHEESE

2 T. unsalted butter1 shallot, sliced thin2 lbs. green beans,

trimmed¼ cup water¾ cup dried cranberriesSalt and pepper, to taste4 oz. crumbled blue

cheese (I use gorgonzola because I always have it in

the fridge)¾ cup walnuts, toasted

and chopped Melt butter in a 12-inch

skillet over med. heat. Add shallot and cook until softened. Add beans and increase heat to med.-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are spotty brown (5-8 min., depending on size of beans; don’t overcook).

Stir in water, ½ t. salt and cranberries. Cover skillet, reduce heat to med.-low and cook until beans are crisp tender (probably another 2-3 min.; again, don’t over-cook). Remove lid and cook until liquid evaporates, about 1 more min. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve beans topped with crumbled cheese and walnuts. Serves 8, but is easily adjustable for 2-4.

Indian summer? We need to chill out a little bit first

BY PATRICIA DUFFSouth Whidbey Record

It’s a universal worst nightmare scenario.

A community member is killed by a violent gang for no reason other than their ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.

It happened to a local immigrant in a small village on Long Island in New York in 2008 and, since then, that village has never been the same.

That year, a series of attacks against Latino residents of Patchogue, N.Y. culminated with the hate-crime killing of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorian immigrant who had lived in the Long Island village for 13 years. Seven local teenagers were arrested for the attack and one was charged with murder.

“Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness” is a documentary by filmmaker Patrice O’Neill that fol-lows the town’s mayor, the victim’s brother and Patchogue residents for two years as they openly address the underlying causes of the violence, work to heal divisions and begin taking steps to ensure everyone in their village will be safe and respected.

In honor of a national week of action against hate crimes, the Freeland Library will host a screen-ing and discussion of “Not In Our

Town: Light in the Darkness” at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18 at the library. The discussion will be facilitated by B.J. Elliott, a long-time resident of South Whidbey and participant in “Women in Black,” a world-wide network of women committed to peace and actively opposed to injustice, war and other forms of violence.

While starkly revealing the trauma of hate, the film provides a blueprint for people who want to do something before intolerance turns to violence.

“We want people to see the film and get some feedback about their reactions to it,” Elliott said.

The film explores a broad spec-trum of hate crimes, she said, and how to prevent such attitudes from ever taking root. There are ques-tions she hopes the film will spark.

“Would it happen here? What are people willing to do to prevent it from happening?” Elliott asked.

“The film raises a lot of ques-tions and feelings. It’s a reaction to the sadness the families felt after the boys ended up in jail for their crime. These things can happen just out of boredom or from lack of parental guidance.”

Elliott said that even though the South End is a community in which most people feel safe, there is always the possibility of hate anywhere. The recent closing of the South End Youth Connection’s

“The Hub,” an after-school drop-in center for teens, worries Elliott.

“There needs to be somewhere to give the kids a safe place to be,” she said.

Such safety measures start with educating the public about the undercurrents of hate that may go unchecked no matter where one lives.

The “Not In Our Town” cam-

paign combines public television broadcasts sponsored by PBS with grassroots events, educational out-reach and online activities to help communities battling hate to talk to — and learn from — each other.

O’Neill is the executive director of the Working Group, the creators of “Not In Our Town,” and the series’ executive producer. With support from Google, her team

designed an interactive map at www.NIOT.org with flashing hot spots in different colors delineating towns where hate crimes have just occurred, and others where com-munities are taking action against hate. Clicking on a hot spot pro-vides information about the crimes and activities taking place there and the related actions people are taking against those crimes.

By sharing and uploading evi-dence of successful public activism through cell phones, videos or texts, a town can convert its color and join the NIOT community. Other aspects of the site include a video advocacy toolkit, online resource sharing and a national calendar of events.

The screening in Freeland is part of the “Not In Our Town National Week of Action,” held from Sept. 18-24. During the Week of Action, communities across the country will use the film to find ways to prevent hate crimes and anti-immigrant violence.

For more information about the event, call the library at 331-7323. The Freeland Library is at 5495 Harbor Ave.

Malcolm D. Ferrier

Malcolm D. Ferrier of Langley died peacefully at his home on Sept. 6, 2011 at the age of 80.

He died in the pres-ence of his wife of 55 years Wendy, his sister Elspeth and her husband Gilbert, Kit Ketcham, the minister of the local Unitarian church and Laurie, the hospice nurse.

Malcolm and Wendy Ferrier moved to Langley in the mid 1990s and were active members of the com-munity, involved in social, political and commercial affairs and the arts. Malcolm helped found the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island and was instrumental in getting its new building constructed, as well as writing its history.

Malcolm had an active and productive career in science, technical writing, publishing and digital data management systems before retiring to Whidbey Island. He worked for Atomic Energy of Canada, American Nuclear Society, RR Donnelly, Encyclopedia Brittanica and Mitchell International, among other entities.

As a volunteer he worked with Common Cause, the Hemlock Society and other progressive organizations,

various church organizations and locally as a math and sci-ence tutor in public schools on the island, as well as a golf instructor for the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District. He founded the golf foundation Keepers of the Game to ensure the gentle-manly traditions of golf are honored by all.

Malcolm David Ferrier was born in India in 1930 to Scottish parents and lived there until riding a steamer to Scotland to go to board-ing school at age 6. He was evacuated to Canada during the war where he lived with a family in Toronto and later returned to Scotland and attended Dollar Academy and the University of St. Andrews, where he received degrees in chemistry and geology. He met his wife Wendy Gates at St. Andrews and they emi-grated to Canada where they had four sons.

The family moved to sub-urban Chicago, Ill. in 1962, to San Diego, Calif. in 1974 and to Sydney, B.C. in 1990, before retiring to Langley.

Malcolm was a gifted ath-lete, speaker and performer.

He played rugby in his youth and competed in golf and tennis throughout his adult life, captaining the St. Andrews golf team and win-ning a number of age-group tennis tournaments into his 40s in Hinsdale, Ill. He played the lead role in a production of “A Man Called Peter” and performed and instructed Scottish Country dancing for a number of years in Illinois and California.

Malcolm was a vocal par-ticipant in local social issues like land-use, preservation, green building and other environmental causes on the island. He helped form the local Philodox discussion group and was known in his intellectual and social circles for his direct manner and eccentric and occasionally ribald sense of humor.

Malcolm published numer-ous articles, papers and docu-

ments in his business career and also published an autobi-ography (originally released as “70 Glorious Years” and now being updated as “80 Glorious Years” by his fam-ily members) and “The Handbook of MIRG,” which includes a series of life les-sons intended to pass on to subsequent generations of Ferriers and others, and whose name derives from his self-chosen grandparent title MIRG, or Most Illustrious and Resplendent Grandparent.

Malcolm suffered from a rare kidney ailment in his late 60s that lead to perito-neal dialysis and eventually resulted in a kidney trans-plant donated from long-time island resident Deana Brown. While given only a year to live when originally diagnosed, Malcolm’s last 15 years were a testament to his physical and mental fortitude, as well as his personal involvement in his medical care.

Malcolm is survived by Wendy; his sons Neil, Fergus, Andrew and Grant; and by his two cats and two alpacas, Thurso and Dounreay.

Genevieve Van Voorthuysen

Genevieve Van Voorthuysen, longtime South Whidbey resident, passed away on Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011 in Seattle, where she had lived for the past 10 years. She was 93 years old.

The second of five children born to Daniel and Ethel Bailey, Genevieve (Gennie to those who knew her) was born in Dooley, Mont. in 1918.

She greatly enjoyed grow-ing up in Havre, Mont., where her father served as a U.S. Customs Agent.

In her teens, Gennie moved with her family to El Paso, Texas, where her father was the U.S. Customs agent in charge of the entire southern U.S. border. She

graduated from El Paso High School.

In the mid-1930s, the fam-ily moved again, this time to Langley and the home on Edgecliff Drive, which Gennie’s father had pur-chased for his parents. Gennie attended Bible school and held several jobs while living with her sister, LaBerta, in Seattle. During World War II, while Gennie’s two broth-ers were in the Army, they brought a buddy, Pfc. Fred Van Voorthuysen, home to Langley with them on a fur-lough. He and Gennie were married on March 3, 1942.

After Fred was honorably discharged from his military duties, he and Gennie moved to Langley, where they raised five children and remained for the rest of their married life.

During her 70-plus years in Langley and later in Freeland, Gennie absorbed much of the history of the area. Fred’s parents lived in Oak Harbor, and his knowledge of the north end of Whidbey Island combined with Mom’s awareness of the south end strengthened their sense that the island was their home- sweet-home and they came to consider themselves among the “old-timers” in Langley.

Through the years, Gennie focused her energy on all of the things that go with rais-ing children.

She was a great homemak-

er; she canned the garden produce grown by Fred. With him, she hosted amazing din-ners for her extended family at Thanksgiving, Christmas and other times of the year. She was fascinated by and loved God’s creation. She was interested in history and followed the news avidly.

Underpinning everything else, and undoubtedly the most defining aspect of her life, was Gennie’s Christian faith. She was saved as a youngster in Montana, and her faith grew, providing joy, comfort, strength and wis-dom throughout her life. She conducted devotions with her children every morning before school, and instilled an awareness of God’s love, his provision and his pres-ence in their lives.

One of her great joys came in the years when her chicks had almost all left the nest. She joined with several other women from the area in an Aglow prayer group which frequently met in her home.

In addition to long-time friends from her neighbor-hood and church, the many friendships she made in the Aglow group and the fellow-ship she shared with them were happy topics of conver-sation long after she moved from Langley to Seattle in 2001. During the years fol-lowing that move, she always loved to hear the news about Langley and her friends

there.Gennie was preceded in

death by her mother and father, all of her siblings, her husband and her grand-daughter, Sarah Joy Van Voorthuysen.

Surviving her are her five children: Virginia Steiner (spouse, Hal); Lucinda Moyer (spouse, John); Daniel Van Voorthuysen (spouse, Joy); Vicki Schepman (spouse, Stuart); and Anne (Heidi) Tschider. Also surviving her are her six grandchil-dren: Jacob Moyer (spouse, Stephanie Bessire) and Clinton Moyer (spouse, Leann Pace); Lindsay Marquiss and Madelyn Van Dyke (spouse, Kail); and Schuyler and Gabriel Schepman; and her three great-grandchildren: Lauren Valentine (of Leona Valley, Calif.); Asher Moyer (of Seattle); and Clementine Pace (of Winston-Salem, N.C.).

Genevieve was able to remain at her Seattle home until her death, the result of complications of kidney fail-ure. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Visser Funeral Home Chapel in Langley.

The family requests that gifts be made in Genevieve’s memory to Swedish Hospice Services in Seattle or a favor-ite Christian charity. Friends and family may leave condo-lences at www.visserfuneralhome.com.

PLAN AHEAD!Once the decision has

been made to buy a new home, the fi rst step is set-ting a goal. What style of home is preferred? How soon will the pur-chase be made? How old should the home be? How large is the right size? What amenities should the home offer?Get the picture? If a

home buyer doesn’t have a clear picture of the right home before beginning the search, it is highly unlikely that a purchase will result. As someone once said, “If you don’t know where you’re go-ing, you’ll probably end up somewhere... else.”The wise home buyer

will also determine his or her fi nancial limits before beginning a home search. Imagine fi nding the perfect home, then being informed that you do not qualify to buy it. Visit a mortgage lender fi rst, get a loan commit-ment, then make your buying decision with confi dence that the home you select will be yours.

Sheriff’s Report

only tastes good, but uses two of those fresh vegetables that are currently in a state of over-abundance.

GREEN BEANS & ZUCCHINI IN BASIL SAUCE

For the sauce: 1/3 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves; use more if you really love basil

1 green onion, coarsely chopped

2 T. fresh Italian parsley2 T. drained capers1 T. fresh lemon juice2 t. Dijon mustard2-3 garlic cloves (or to

taste), peeled3 T. extra virgin olive oilVegetables: 1 T. olive oil1 lb. green beans, stem

end trimmed1 med. zucchini (or about

12-14- oz.; not that hidden whopper)

3 T. water

2 T. fresh Italian parsley leaves, for garnish

To make the sauce: Blend the first 7 ingredients in a blender or food processor until finely chopped. With the machine running, gradu-ally add olive oil. Process until a coarse puree forms. Season to taste with salt and pepper; cover and refriger-ate until ready to use. (This sauce is excellent with many other fresh vegetables, such as grated or shredded kohl-rabi, jicama, cabbage, fresh peas, etc.)

Cut zucchini in half length-wise, then cut each half lengthwise into strips about 1/3-inch wide. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over med.-high heat. Add beans and zucchini strips; stir until coated. Sprinkle with salt and 3 T. water. Cover and cook vegetables until just crisp-tender, stirring occasionally (about 4 min.). Uncover, cook 1-2 min. longer, until vegetables are tender. Stir in enough basil sauce to coat vegetables gen-erously. Season to taste with

salt and pepper; transfer to a bowl or plate, garnish with parsley and serve. Serves 6.

This next recipe is a veg-etarian’s dream as well as a great way to utilize some of that fresh broccoli, the green beans and best of all, fresh from the garden tomatoes.

PASTA WITH FRESH VEGGIES

8 oz. penne or ziti pasta (about 3 cups)

2½ cups broccoli florets1½ cups green beans,

trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup ricotta cheese¼ cup snipped or chopped

fresh basil (more if you like)1 T. chopped fresh thyme1 T. balsamic vinegar1 T. olive oil2-3 (or more) cloves gar-

lic, minced

½ t. saltSalt and freshly ground

black pepper, to taste11/3 cups chopped, seeded

tomatoes (red, orange or yel-low or a mixture)

Shaved Parmesan or Romano cheese

Fresh Italian parsley leaves, or basil leaves, for garnish

Cook pasta according to package directions, adding green beans with the pasta about halfway through cook-ing time (if your beans are a bit thick, you may need a bit more cooking time) and adding broccoli for about the last 3 min. of cooking. Drain well and return all to the hot pan; cover and keep warm.

In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, basil, thyme, vinegar, oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Gently stir in tomatoes.

Add pasta mixture to the tomato mixture; toss gently to combine. Top with cheese, garnish with parsley or basil and serve. Serves 4.

The base monthly rate for Langley sewer custom-ers will go up $2.49 per month under a fee increase proposal now before the city council.

The increase will affect residential and business cus-tomers, as well as bed-and-breakfasts. The 11-percent hike will push the monthly fee from $22.51 to $25.

City officials said the planned increases are “few and very modest.”

Other increases are also planned in monthly stormwa-ter utility rates for property owners, where fees have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

The fee for owners of a developed, single-family resi-dential property will increase from $23.70 to $24 a month.

For residential multifam-ily, the increase is $28.65 to $29; residential undeveloped, $12.27 to $13; commercial

developed, $32.73 to $33; commercial undeveloped, $12.27 to $13; acreage developed, $28.65 to $29; pri-mary residential (with com-mercial) $23.70 to $24; and primary commercial (with residential) $32.73 to $33.

Two categories will see slight decreases: residential multifamily (more than two units) a drop from $49.10 to $49; and public facilities, also $49.10 to $49.

Fees for permits in the city’s planning department will also rise.

The largest increase is planned for fees related to preliminary binding site plans, where fees will rise between $1,080 to $2,980, depending on the number of housing units.

Other permit hikes include annexation permits (up $880 to $3,000); clearing and grading permits (up $40 to $300); shoreline condition-al use permits and shoreline variances (both up $1,080 to

$1,500); and variances (up $460 to $1,500).

Fees for other permits will drop, including critical area permits (down $20 to $400); lower-classification rezones (down $100 to $200), and accessory dwelling unit per-mits (down $350 to $200).

The city’s planning depart-ment will also completely eliminate the fee for a com-prehensive plan amendment, which once cost $1,400, as well as the $200 fee for a written code interpretation.

The utility and planning department fee changes have received an initial approval from the city coun-cil.

The council is expected to take a final vote on the new fee schedules at its meeting Sept. 19.

Water rates are currently under review, and a proposal for a new rate schedule may be finished before the end of the year, said City Treasurer Debbie Mahler.

COUPEVILLE — A jury in a civil trial found that a state senator’s husband battered his wife’s former campaign manager and should pay her $50,000 in damages.

The verdict was announced Friday after-noon, culminating nearly two weeks of testimony and arguments. Defendant Basil Badley and his wife, Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, weren’t in the Island County courtroom to hear the jury’s decision.

Coupeville resident Courtney Jones and a number of her support-ers in the courtroom wept after the verdict was read. Jones worked as Haugen’s campaign manager in 2008. She filed the lawsuit against Badley in 2009, claiming that

he had kissed and groped her during a dinner at the couple’s home while the senator was away.

It took the jury about six hours to decide the two-part verdict. In the first part, they answered “yes” to the ques-tion of whether Badley com-mitted the battery of Jones.

In the second part, the jury found that Jones was entitled to $6,000 in econom-ic damages and $44,000 in emotional damages.

Afterward, Badley’s attor-ney, Tyna Ek, said simply that she was surprised by the verdict.

The lawsuit went to trial as a “sexual assault and battery” charge, but Judge Alan Hancock ruled after the plaintiff rested their case that the evidence didn’t support the “sexual assault” part of the claim and left it as a battery case.

Both Jones and Badley took the stand during the trial and described their ver-sion of events.

Jones described tearfully Badley repeatedly kissed her, licked her face and groped her as she physically and verbally resisted.

In his testimony, Badley admitted to kissing Jones and touching her breast, but said he immediately stopped when she pushed him away.

Badley, a 75-year-old for-mer attorney, appeared frail in court until he took the stand. He was feisty and occasionally funny under unrelenting questioning by Breen, who sarcastically grilled Badley about his drinking, his apology email to Jones and whether he considers himself “a dirty old man.”

Badley admitted that his actions were wrong.

Jury finds in favor of Haugen’s campaign manager in civil suit

BY PATRICIA DUFFSouth Whidbey Record

It’s got plenty of kitschy charm to offset the bad taste left by one too many episodes of “The Jerry Springer Show.”

It’s “The Great American Trailer Park Musical,” which opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16 at the Fine Arts Building at the Island County Fairgrounds in Langley.

This will be the second offering from OutCast Productions and direc-tor Ned Farley said it fits the com-pany’s pledge to offer theater on the edge, with just a bit of raucous enter-tainment thrown in for good measure.

He also said he couldn’t resist a musical about trailer park life.

“Sometimes you do theater for the pure fun of it,” Farley said.

This musical has all the ingredients for plenty of Cheese-Wizzy shenani-gans.

With music and lyrics by David Nehls and a book by Betsy Kelso, here’s a show that never takes itself too seriously and revels in its own trashiness, satirizing everything from TV to musical styles.

Set in North Florida’s most exclu-sive “manufactured housing com-munity” (a tacky collection of mobile homes) the themes of this musical cover some of life’s most important issues, including spray cheese, road kill, hysterical pregnancy, kleptomania, flan and disco.

The plot, in other words, is not too complicated.

When Pippi, a stripper on the run, comes between the Dr. Phil-loving,

agoraphobic Jeannie and her toll-collector husband, neighbors Betty,

Lin and Pickles team up to save their friend’s marriage.

“I initially was attracted to the script because of the title — how can anyone pass up a musical about trailer park life,” Farley said.

“However, after reading the script, which is tightly written, well-paced and just pure fun, and then hearing the soundtrack, which is fantastic, both Sandy and I knew we had to put this into our line-up somewhere,” he added.

Farley refers to K. Sandy O’Brien, the producing director for OutCast Productions. Farley is the company’s artistic director, and O’Brien also plays “Betty” in the show.

“This show is very over-the-top in

Mona Newbauer, K. Sandy O’Brien and Megan Besst rehearse a scene from “The Great American Trailer Park Musical.” The show opens Friday, Sept. 16 at the Fine Arts Building at the fairgrounds in Langley.

Tara Hizon plays the role of Pippi.

its acting style,” she said. “It pokes fun at the trailer park by its use of character which is sometimes cartoonish.”

But, as every conscien-tious actor is want to do, O’Brien is sympathetic, even toward these broadly drawn characters.

“What comes through for me is that a lot of people who get designated as ‘trailer trash’ are just people trying to make a living, have a life and pull themselves up by their bootstraps,” she added.

O’Brien said although the motley crew of characters is a loony bunch and although the play is long on laughs rather than providing any important message, every theater production offers a little food for thought.

“Mostly this production chews it up and spits it out,” she said.

One of those “loonies” is played by first-time perform-er Mona Newbauer, who said she is having a blast pre-tending to be someone else. Taking the role of “Lin” has given her a new perspective on life in the park.

“In a trailer park there are no secrets,” Newbauer said. “Friendships run deep and drama runs rampant.”

To soften some of that beer-slugging drama, Nehls has created a bouncy, appealing score with plenty of twang and corn pone in songs with titles such as “This Side of the Tracks,” “It Doesn’t Take A Genius,” “The Great American TV Show,” “Flushed Down the Pipes” and “Road Kill.”

An off-Broadway hit in 2005, the play was described by New York critics as “more fun than a chair-throwing episode of Jerry Springer set to music” and “It’s like ‘The Honeymooners’ meets the ‘The Best Little Whorehouse

in Urinetown.’”Producing a fun campy

romp such as this one has served the young company well by attracting some new volunteers, which is always the challenge for every the-ater company, O’Brien noted.

“We truly have some standouts in this production and we have been fortunate to have some of our Oak Harbor theater friends come down to give us a lift. They’ve been the frosting on the cake, or in trailer park terms, the side dish of grits,” she said.

Farley said he likes the idea of presenting something funny and purely entertain-

ing after debuting the com-pany with “Yankee Tavern,” a conspiracy theory thriller.

“Where better than our second show, which we know will have audiences leaving the theater with their toes tapping and their laugh-ter in full swing,” Farley said.

“It is purely and simply a crowd-pleaser, with just the right amount of irreverence necessary.”

The cast includes Megan Besst as Pickles, Gabe Harshman as Duke, Tara Hizon as Pippi, Gail Liston as Jeannie, Newbauer as Lin, O’Brien as Betty and Brian Plebenak as Norbert. Set design is by Heather

Mayhugh, lighting by Alex Wren, sound by Jeff Fisher and musical direction by Scott Small. The musicians include Cynthia Kleppang on keyboard, Sean Lisle on gui-tar, Troels Oxenbad on bass and percussion by Small.

The play runs for three weekends through Oct. 1. Friday and Saturday per-formances are at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $18 for adults, $14 for seniors 62 and older and youths younger than 18, and are available in advance at www.brownpap ertickets.com. Only a limited number of tickets will be available at the door.

Island County would become part of a new con-gressional district under a proposed plan unveiled Tuesday by former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton of the Washington State Redistricting Commission.

The proposed 10th District would stretch from the San Juans to the east edge of

Okanogan County in Eastern Washington. It would mean the end of the current bound-aries of the 2nd District, and would push Congressman Rick Larsen into a smaller 2nd District while many of his constituents would find themselves in the newly cre-ated 10th District.

The 2nd District cur-rently includes Island, San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom counties, and portions of

Snohomish and King coun-ties. The revised 2nd District would include a portion of Snohomish and King coun-ties.

Gorton’s plan was one of four presented in Olympia this week.

“I am very pleased to pres-ent a redistricting proposal that I believe first and fore-most follows the require-ments laid out for the com-mission in the redistricting

law,” Gorton said in a state-ment to the press.

Larsen said Tuesday the proposed plans for new districts are a first step. Negotiations will follow, and it’s unlikely the final map that’s eventually adopted will follow the lines set out in any of the proposals made Tuesday, he said.

“I’ve said from the very beginning that I think Bellingham and Everett will

be the bookends [of the 2nd District] ... when all is said and done,” said Larsen, D-Everett.

Larsen said he’s confident that he will remain in District 2 when the final map is approved. In all four proposals made Tuesday, Everett was still included within the 2nd District.

The new congressional district boundaries will take effect with the November 2012 Congressional and leg-islative elections.

A public hearing on the proposed maps for the redis-tricting effort will be held Oct. 11 in Olympia.

RECORDSOUTH WHIDBEY

overall enrollment was similar to last year’s figure.

Langley Middle School and South Whidbey High School numbers were consistent with the 2010-2011 school year, at about 380 and 510 students, respectively.

The district’s student population has declined every school year since 1999-2000. Then, the district was robust with more than 2,200 students.

The largest decrease of 161 students was from the 2008-2009 to the 2009-2010 school years.

thought if they select me,” he said.

“It doesn’t affect the other campaign in the least,” Allen said, explaining that his name will stay on the ballot even if he is appointed.

“It’s not going to change my running at all,” he added.

Allen, 70, retired at the rank of command sergeant major after 30 years in the Army. He was also a depart-ment manager for Safeway and is currently working at Mo’s Pub in Langley. In his application packet, Allen noted his extensive volun-teer work in Langley and stressed the need for the council to work collabora-tively on common goals.

Gill also said Allen’s move for an appointment won’t change things.

“This won’t affect my cam-paign,” Gill said, noting that Allen’s name will still appear

on the ballot. “I don’t really have any feelings about it one way or another.”

Allderdice, 68, served on the city council from 2000 to 2006.

He was first appointed to the seat to fill out the term left vacant by former council-man Ed Parr, and Allderdice resigned his post due to his workload as a physician dur-ing his second term.

Allderdice could not be reached for comment Monday; he was out of town on a bike trip.

In his application for the council seat, filed on Sept. 12, Allderdice noted his previous service on the council. “That experience should help me to get up to speed fairly quickly if appointed,” he wrote.

Allderdice came to Langley from Spokane to run a family physician’s prac-tice with Dr. Steve Shapiro in 1978. He left his Langley practice to become an emergency room doctor in Everett in the mid-1980s.
