TIME TO TALKturkeyEvery year, the Record visits South Whidbey Elementary School to talk turkey — and Thanksgiving — with the school’s youngest students.

FREELAND — Energy was abun-dant in Robert Bruce Knight.

Whether he used it to break out a 30-yard touchdown run or break out in song, it didn’t matter to those who knew him. They just liked to watch Knight shine.

They also liked his hugs.More than 400 friends and fam-

ily filled the sanctuary at Trinity Lutheran Church on Friday night for one more chance to share those expe-riences at Knight’s memorial.

The 22-year-old Freeland man died in a car crash Nov. 12 that also killed Marcel “Mick” Poynter, 20, and Charles “Mack” Porter III, 19.

Knight left lasting memories with those who spoke to the crowd. Eight speakers recalled their fondest mem-ories of Knight and lamented his loss.

His mother, Sharon Knight, recalled the affections of her “little buddy.”

“He always gave me the best heart-felt bear hugs,” she said.

She was a teacher at the elemen-tary school in the town Knight grew up in, Canyon Lake, Calif. As a teacher and a mom, she said she always looked for ways to show him something he didn’t know.

“I was always looking for an object lesson, but in the end it was Robert who was my best teacher,” she said. “He taught me to be strong, a better parent, a better teacher and most of all, not to sweat the small stuff.”

Knight’s father, Bruce Knight, said his son triumphed despite adversity. He talked about Knight’s return from an outdoor therapy camp and a boarding school to play football, and how they traveled to Mexico City to play in a semi-pro game representing Team USA.

“What a priceless memory for a dad with his son,” he said.

COMMUNITY SAYS GOODBYE TO BELOVED

SON, BROTHER, FRIEND

Dozens turn out for Occupy Langley

The Occupy movement set-tled into the Village by the Sea last week.

A couple dozen people occupied the corner of Second Street and Anthes Avenue on Thursday afternoon at a rally that lasted two hours. Their reasons for holding signs in the bitter cold ranged from strengthening community ties to expressing freedom of speech.

“I was brought out just by the feeling of excitement about people waking up and caring about each other and their neighbors and looking to talk to each other,” said Clinton resi-dent Gretchen Lawlor.

Her corner companion want-ed to change the political influ-ence of corporations.

“One of my main interests, although there are many things to change the paradigm that needs changing, is to get cor-porations out of politics and get big money out of politics - to depersonalize corporations so they’re not so powerful,” said Clinton resident Dorit Zingarelli.

Across from Langley Park, US Bank operated as usual with no disruptions. The rally began at 2 p.m., by 4:45 the two dozen supporters had cleared the

park. Occupy rallies in other cities

have been forcibly removed by local law enforcement. In Oakland, Calif. and Washington,

D.C. police officers cleared Occupy camps. Last week there was a highly-publicized incident of officers pepper spraying peaceful Occupy Wall Street

protestors on the campus of the University of California-Davis. The reaction to some of the Occupy rallies in other cities had Lawlor and Zingarelli reassert-ing their constitutional rights.

“It’s our civil right to gather and express ourselves. Freedom of speech, it’s in our Constitution,” Zingarelli said.

Speaking in public was one of the high points for Lawlor. She noticed in some of the other rallies that people had a chance to voice their opinions and con-cerns.

“There’s a lot of us that don’t feel all that comfort-able to speak up,” Lawlor said. “Everyone gets a voice. Everyone’s encouraged to speak up. What they care about is con-sidered.”

Gathering, camping, protest-ing and talking were just the beginning, however. Lawlor said she looked forward to the ideas that would come out of these rallies.

“Just camping in the parks, there’s going to be a lot more than that,” Lawlor said. “It’s going to ripple out.”

Plenty of potatoes have made it to a local food shed.

Knights of Columbus, Langley Council 11357 of St. Hubert Catholic Church had themselves a productive day on the farm recently. The group drove up to Fidalgo Island and bagged 2,000 pounds of pota-toes donated by an island farmer, and then delivered them to Good Cheer Food Bank, Christian Mission Alliance Soup Kitchen and to the South Whidbey Mobile Turkey Unit.

“We love the Knights, and appreciate their generous donation of service at this time of year,” said Kathy McLaughlin, Good Cheer Food Bank executive director.

“It’s great to see our cold storage unit filled with bags of just harvested pota-toes.”

McLaughlin said the extra food is needed as the bank serves more than 800 families per month on South Whidbey.

The food bank is currently provid-ing clients with all the ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal in addition to a house-hold’s monthly food points.

CORRECTION In the Saturday, Nov. 19 edition of the Record, the story “Kindness, laughter, loyalty define three young lives” on page A1 misstated the town the Knight family lived in, Canyon Lake, Calif.

Then he shared his son’s hugs with the crowd. He asked everyone to stand up and hug the person next to them. He asked again, and added the suggestion that they hug them like it was the last time they would ever see them.

“Rob was a hugger,” his father said. “From the very day he joined us, he

hugged. He didn’t just hug us with his arms, he hugged with his whole body.”

Knight was also a musician. He learned to play piano, guitar and drums. His father held aloft his iPod to play a newfound song his son

recorded.The chorus, sung by Knight, went,

“Our fingers they touch, and that is enough, that is enough, because I am in love.”

To Cory Soto, one of Knight’s first friends on South Whidbey, he was the Southern California guy who was always running late.

“He was always on Rob time,” Soto said.

“The way he talked and the way he dressed and, ‘Bro…’ I got that more times, it feels like an explanation.”

Knight was a note-taker, Soto added.

He’d hear something he liked, or he’d think of some poignant idea and write it down.

Soto found some of his notes and shared them.

“It is clear that if each individual makes an effort, he or she can make a change.”

“Who cares if people like you, if you don’t like yourself.”

“Who cares if anyone likes you, as long as you like yourself.”

“Put your friends first, they’re your family.”

“Don’t beat up your roommates.”“That’s the thing,” Soto said, “he put

his friends first.”Lisa Zickafoose, a family friend who

lived with the Knight family in Canyon Lake, remembered when she was 12 and he was just a baby. She watched him grow to be “witty, yet sarcastic, good-humored, but often somber.”

“Rob was a dreamer,” Zickafoose said as tears welled in her eyes.

“Spirited and athletic, he was always searching for the next adventure, whether it was cleaning the van with a bucket of wet cement, or locking my keys in the car with the engine run-ning, he knew how to bring the excite-ment of his adventures home to us.”

Knight’s affection, through hugs and laughs, stuck with her.

“He was our little boy, our baby, and his laughter made us a family,” Zickafoose said. “I will forever miss the hugs he freely shared and the kisses I constantly bombarded him with.”

His sister, Jamie Metcalf, remem-

bered him simply as her sibling.“For the past week, I’ve been trying

to find the right words for tonight,” Metcalf said. “But the first thing that comes to mind is that I love my broth-er and he loved me.”

Metcalf is a mother of two sons, a 22 month old and a 3 year old. She thanked Knight for preparing her to be a mom all those years ago.

“Now that I am a mother, I realized that everything that I learned about being a mother to sons I learned from my relationship from my brother, and that is the greatest gift he could have ever given me,” Metcalf said.

Pastor Jim Lindus spoke of a season of weeping that now stretches beyond South Whidbey. Lindus told the story of Lazarus dying before Jesus could reach him and told the crowd to remember the shortest verse in the Bible.

“Jesus wept,” Lindus said, quoting John 11:35.

He used that story to illustrate the frustrations and confusion of those hurt by Knight’s death.

“I’m quite certain God was crying out, ‘Not now. Not Rob, not Mick, not Mack. I had so much more for them to do,’” Lindus said.

“And though we weep, we do not weep alone,” he added. “We have each other, and we will not weep forever.”

The Knights have created a scholar-ship fund in their son’s honor. Donations can be made online at www.trinitylutheranfreeland.org or sent to Trinity Lutheran Church, Attn: Robert Knight Scholarship Fund, PO Box 97, Freeland, WA 98249.

BY BRIAN KELLYSouth Whidbey Record

Island County is refusing to pay more than $43,000 in costs that Freeland officials have piled up in pursuit of a controversial $40 million sewer expansion project south of Holmes Harbor.

County Budget Director Elaine Marlow sent commis-sioners of the Freeland Water & Sewer District a three-page letter last week detailing concerns over how the dis-trict had spent funds from a $3.5 million county grant.

In the letter, Marlow noted the grant funding was restricted to “preconstruc-tion, planning, final engineer-ing and construction startup costs” for the sewer proj-ect, but detailed more than 60 instances where the district had asked for reim-bursement of unauthorized charges.

The unauthorized charges included payments for meals, commissioner salaries, website maintenance and other operating costs, dupli-

cate charges and other bills. Reimbursements to the

Freeland district have been on hold for months, but com-missioners approved a pay-ment of $324,694 to the dis-trict last week.

Freeland officials had sought payments totaling $368,157 from the county.

Last week, Freeland offi-cials said they were expect-ing that the county would not cover all of the district’s costs on the sewer project.

Officials estimated the unpaid bills would run into the thousands of dollars, and said the district would pass the costs along to its water customers.

District Commissioner-elect Marilynn Abrahamson warned the other shoe may yet drop.

“We’re just now scratching the surface on the way the money for the sewer proj-ect has been mishandled. The public will be shocked to find out the full extent of the mismanagement that the ratepayers may ultimately be responsible for,” she said.

County rejects bills from sewer district

Thanksgiving feast at Post 141

For the 17th year, American Legion Post 141 will serve a Thanksgiving feast for the public on the holiday.

The meal will be served from noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 24. All of the usual favorites will be provided, including turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed pota-toes, veggies, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. There will also be a few surprises as members of the post donate a dish to the bounty.

Donations are always appreciated from

those who are able. Reservations are recom-mended and can be made at 321-5696.

Driver faces prison after DUI

A 42-year-old Sedro-Woolley man caught driving drunk on South Whidbey on Aug. 9 will likely be going to prison because of four prior DUI convictions.

William Shuler pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court to felony DUI on Nov. 14.

A DUI is normally a gross misdemeanor charge, but becomes a felony if a defendant has four or more prior DUI convictions over a 10-year period.

Shuler had four prior DUI convictions, all in Skagit County, from 2002 to 2006. Under a plea agreement, the prosecu-tor dismissed an obstruct-

ing charge. Both the pros-ecution and defense will recommend a sentence of two years and three months in prison at a hearing set for this week.

According to court documents, Trooper Chris Merwin with the Washington State Patrol was patrolling Highway 525 on South Whidbey the night of Aug. 9 when he saw a GMC Safari van speeding. He clocked the van with his radar at 70 mph in a 55 mph zone.

Merwin arrested Shuler after he failed roadside sobriety tests. At the jail, Shuler’s blood-alcohol level was tested at 0.114 and 0.119, while 0.08 is the legal limit.

Port asks for ferry meeting

Port of South Whidbey officials have told county commissioners that they’re interested in help-ing start passenger-only ferry service that would connect Langley, Camano Island, Coupeville and Oak Harbor.

Port commissioners sent a letter of support

for water taxi service in Saratoga Passage to coun-ty commissioners earlier this month.

The suggestion comes as the port continues its plans for an expansion of the Langley Marina.

“There are many details that need to be addressed for this endeavor, and we remain open to any and all suggestions,” reads the letter, signed by all three port commissioners. “Since any required capi-tal improvements will like-ly involve a considerable amount of lead time and expense, it is our intent to begin the conversations as early as possible.”

Port officials have asked the county to participate in an informal meeting with other elected offi-cials to develop a work plan for passenger-only ferry service.

County commission-ers were expected to talk about the port’s letter at their work session this week.

County looks for board members

Island County is look-ing for volunteers for two positions on the Island

County Housing Authority Board.

One of the positions is for a resident commis-sioner, and the appointee must be a resident of public housing.

Interested individuals should provide a letter of interest and state-ment of qualifications by mail, email or fax to Island County Board of Commissioners, Attn: Pam Dill, Re: Housing Authority Board of Commissioners Vacancy, PO Box 5000, Coupeville, WA 98239. The fax number is 360-679-7381 and email applications should be sent to pamd@co.island.wa.us.

Application materi-als are due by 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 28.

For additional informa-tion, call 360-679-7353 or e-mail Dill.

Work wraps up on property taxes

The processing of prop-erty tax payments was completed in the county treasurer’s office in record time this year, said Island County Treasurer Ana Maria d. Nuñez.

The speedy finish was made possible by an elec-tronic remittance proces-sor coupled with the new property tax program and the work of a determined staff and a group of vol-unteers.

Nuñez reminded prop-erty owners who have not

paid their 2011 property taxes that an additional 1-percent interest and 8-percent penalty will be assessed on any unpaid 2011 property tax balance as of Dec. 1.

To avoid the additional fees, payment must be paid or postmarked by Nov. 30.

Property taxes can be paid online at www.islandcounty.net/treasurer, in person or via mail. For details, call 360-679-7302.

Workshop covers business planning

The SBA Small Business Development Center will present a free workshop on planning and financ-ing a business next month in Oak Harbor.

The workshop is from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1 at WorkSource Whidbey, 31975 Highway 20.

Crafting a business plan is the cornerstone of any new or existing business, and a good plan guides, directs and ensures that a business goes in the desired direction.

The workshop will also go over a variety of financing options and will provide a reality check for those considering a new or expanded business venture.

To register, call 360-675-5966.

In response

To the editor:We are all saddened by this horrific acci-

dent and I am personally hopeful that perhaps we will all slow down.

I have lived here for several years and Islanders in general are not obeying speed limits. Let us all look in the mirror. Why was she passing another car? As always the driver escapes, but the memory will not. That is very sad!

Rural areas are treacherous, especially after dark, and it is dark. We can blame the roads and other obstacles, but in the end it is our responsibility once behind the wheel of our cars, more so when we have passengers.

Blessings and prayers to the families in this tragedy.

CAROL EDGARClinton

To the editor:After reading Jim Hyde’s opinion I didn’t

know if I should laugh or cry. I can tell you I’m a bit bothered by the fact we have an Occupy Movement group in our beautiful little town.

What am I missing? I’m in what these occu-py loons are calling the 99 percent but I’ve never felt anyone or our government owed me anything. Was I naive growing up with basic values that if you wanted something you worked hard to earn it? If you wanted an education, you studied hard and worked part time, which left little to no time to protest.

I still don’t have a firm grasp on exactly what these occupiers are trying to achieve. Are they disgruntled with Wall Street, banks and corporate America for making large sums of money while making most of our lives easi-er? Why aren’t they marching on Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the U.S. Postal Service, just to name a few? These companies are robbing us blind with billions of dollars in bailouts while their executives are getting huge bonuses and their pensions and retirement plans are far better than average.

There are some corrupt people in all parts of our society and Wall Street, banks and corporate America are not immune. Based on a few bad apples, it seems to me these occupiers are trying to tear apart our capital-ist system and look to our government for entitlements, taking care of them from cradle to grave. Greece and Italy are great examples of socialist governments and how’s that work-ing out?

To all who are involved with Occupy Whidbey, I encourage you to park your Lexus, put down that Starbucks latté, hang up your iPhone and fire up that PC. Get onto YouTube.com and search for “Bill Whittle Three and a Half Days.” He’s the only person I’ve seen that puts this movement into perspective.

TIM SEELangley

Thank you

To the editor:Merci! Gracias! Thanks!The Island County Treasurer’s Office

would like to express its deepest thanks and sincere appreciation to those individuals who came forward to assist us and volunteer dur-ing tax season.

Due to their great attitudes and helpful hands, we were able to complete property tax

payment processing much earlier than in pre-vious years. It is said that “Many hands make light work” and this was certainly proven in our office. We enjoyed sharing our days and meeting the citizens: Pam and Bob N., Bob and Beulah Whitlow, Barbara Radics and Linda Riffe.

Thanks also to those who volunteered but we did not call, only because we were able to finish so early.

Enjoy today.ANA MARÍA D NUÑEZ

Defense spending

To the editor:Our Washington state senators are right

now hearing loud and clear from the Pentagon and defense contractor lobbies.

The Defense Department is fighting to hold onto $500 billion over the next 10 years

— the “sequestration” that will kick in if law-makers fail to reach an agreement on U.S. deficit reduction. As time runs out and there is no sign of a compromise, the Pentagon and its contractor friends have regaled our representatives with tales of the catastrophe that an 18 percent cut to their budget over 10 years will cause.

I, for one, want to see a bigger cut to the Pentagon budget. I’d like to see that money go into more productive endeavors closer to home; investments in renewable energy, rebuilding our infrastructure, much more money spent on education and other pro-ductive efforts that will help to rebuild our economy.

Make your voice heard, as decisions are being made in “the other Washington” right now. Do you want a bigger Department of Defense? Or would you rather see scarce resources spent on other things?

is a local telephone company that has been serving the South Whidbey area since approximately 1908. During the intervening years, we have worked hard to build a telephone system that provides high quality telecommunications services to the communities we serve. We have done this, notwithstanding the higher costs of serving rural areas in the State of Washington and when few, if any, other telephone companies were interested in serving our communities.

We have served and intend to continue to serve both residential and business customers in our service area with high quality telecommunications services at attractive and affordable rates.

In addition to our basic telephone services, we offer throughout our service area advanced telecommunications services, including Internet access, high speed data services, special calling features, voice mail, and caller ID.

The basic services offered by Whidbey Telecom are comprised of several components. At a minimum, these include:

Monthly Charge1

Residence Business$9.402/3 $16.502

Charge1

No additional charge.

There is no additional charge by Whidbey Telecom to end user customers for the ability to access emergency 911 services.4

There is no additional charge by Whidbey Telecom to end user customers for the ability to call the operator. However, the call may involve a charge depending on the service requested and the rates of the company whose operator handles the call.

There is no additional charge by Whidbey Telecom to end user customers for the ability to place and receive calls through long distance networks of interexchange carriers that offer service through our network. However, the call may involve a charge from the interexchange (long distance) carrier depending on the call.

There is no additional charge by Whidbey Telecom to end user customers for the ability to call Directory Assistance. However, the call may involve a Directory Assistance charge, the amount of which depends on the area called and the rates of the company whose Directory Assistance Service is accessed.

There is no additional charge by Whidbey Telecom to qualifying low-income consumers for toll blocking service. Qualifying low-income consumers are generally those participating in the Lifeline program.

The Company participates in the federal Lifeline and Link-Up programs, as well as the Washington Telephone Assistance Program (“WTAP”). Under these programs, the Company offers to qualifying low-income consumers a discount off of the monthly rate for basic residential exchange service and a discount off of the non-recurring charge to install a basic residential exchange service line. For service on non-tribal reservation lands, the Company’s current discounted monthly rate for Lifeline residential service is $8.001/2, while the installation charge for such service may be discounted under the Link-Up program and WTAP by up to $34.501/2. Additional discounts may apply for service to qualifying low-income consumers on tribal reservation lands.

These services are available to all qualifying subscribers of Whidbey Telecom. The charges for these services are reflected each month on our normal telephone bill, and may be accompanied by charges for other services provided by Whidbey Telecom. The services listed above are those that Whidbey Telecom offers and must advertise in order to be eligible for federal funds that are used to help offset the high cost of serving rural areas and bringing affordable telephone service to residences and businesses in rural areas. Other services are available by contacting Whidbey Telecom’s business office at (360) 321-1122.

1 The charges set forth are subject to change, and in some instances are subject to change without notice. Certain non-recurring charges may also apply to installation or change of service.

2 Applicable federal, state, county and municipal taxes and surcharges, including a federally-mandated end user surcharge per line, are in addition to these amounts.

3 Discounts off of this rate are available to qualifying low-income consumers (see above).4 State and county taxes apply per line to fund the provision of this capability.

BY JESSIE STENSLANDWhidbey News-Times

COUPEVILLE — Island County commissioners voted to increase the county cur-rent expense fund, county roads and Conservation Futures levies by 1 percent last week.

Budget Director Elaine Marlow said the budget the commissioners adopted in October assumed the 1 per-cent increase and would have to be modified if the increases weren’t adopted.

Without the modest hike, she said further cuts may have to be made to pro-grams or the ranks of county employees.

Commissioner Kelly Emerson, the sole Republican on the board, voted against the three levy increases.

She also opposed the bud-

get, and she said it wasn’t appropriate to raise taxes “during one of the worst recessions, if not a depres-sion, in the history of our nation.”

The two Democratic com-missioners voted for the prop-erty tax increases, and point-ed out the cost of running the county increased beyond the 1 percent. Commissioner Angie Homola said adopting the increase was “prudent and fiscally responsible.”

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said the county’s current expense fund makes up only 7 percent of the aver-age property tax bill in the county.

Marlow said a 1-percent levy increase in both the cur-rent expense and road lev-ies translates to an estimated extra 2 cents per $1,000 of

assessed value. That amounts to an extra $6 per year for the owner of a $300,000 home.

For the current expense fund, the 1 percent increase amounts to an extra $76,000 that will be collected next year. The increase will bring in $80,000 for the road fund levy and an extra $6,675 for the Conservation Futures levy.

The estimated current expense levy for collection in 2012 is $7.8 million. The road levy will bring in $8.12 million and the Conservation Futures levy will collect $680,000.

Marlow said the amount of new construction contin-ues to decline in the county. She estimated $75 million in new construction for collec-tion next year while it was $93 million this year.

BY BEN WATANABESouth Whidbey Record

LANGLEY — Soccer is a contact sport to Brianna Haimes.

South Whidbey’s senior center defender remembers one play from the girls soccer season well.

The Falcons were hosting the King’s Knights, one of the top teams in the Cascade Conference. King’s defeated South Whidbey the previ-ous two seasons Haimes was on varsity. The Knights didn’t just beat the Falcons, they trounced them 23 goals to 1 since 2009.

Haimes was ready to change things. She wanted to set an aggres-sive, tough defensive tone.

The Knights got the message, or at least the girl she threw to the field for the first high school yellow card of the 17-year-old’s career.

“I was sick of her grabbing onto my arm,” Haimes said. “So I grab onto her shoulder and arm and throw her down.”

“I’m pretty proud of that. It was something I wanted to experience in my soccer career before it was over,” she added.

Haimes is not naturally violent — she wants to be a physical thera-pist and plans to pursue a physi-cal therapy doctorate. Contact — shoving, bumping, hitting, kicking — drew her exclusively to soccer.

“I don’t like how in volleyball you never touch the other team,” Haimes said. “I’m an aggressive girl, so I want to get in there and fight to win.”

Receiving a yellow card for her aggression was one of the things she had not accomplished in her career. Haimes knew she controlled the outcome of this unofficial goal that sidelined her for part of that match, a 3-1 loss.

Being named to the second team all-Cascade Conference as a defend-er was another first for Haimes.

“I was so surprised, because only one of the girls (Haimes) from South

Whidbey got it,” Haimes said. “We didn’t make it far and our record wasn’t too great. I’m surprised other coaches recognized me and thought I was good.”

Ben Rusch, her coach, was not surprised at her nomination.

At the start of the season, Rusch considered using her as a forward. That idea was quickly dismissed.

“Once I realized how important she was in the back, I put that thought out of my mind,” Rusch said.

Part of the reason may have been exposure. The Falcon defense had lots of goals to defend, 36 in confer-ence play. This season, King’s scored three goals in each match, the low-est since she’s been a Falcon.

“Without a player like Brianna, I feel they would have scored a lot more goals on us,” Rusch said.

Haimes’ success, and then the recognition of it, has been years in the making.

In her sophomore season, she was an honorable mention mid-fielder. Last year, she was an hon-

orable mention defender. Finally, she made one of the all-conference teams, for which she credits her coaches, including her club team’s head coach Tony Carrillo of Legacy Football Club in Arlington.

This season under Rusch in his first year as a head coach was differ-ent because he is a defender on his indoor team and played defense for the Falcons.

“He is a defender, too, so he knows how to play my position,” Haimes said of Rusch. “He taught me what I didn’t know from other coaches. He was nice and friendly and never got down on us.”

Her high school coach said Haimes has a natural talent for defense, and required little techni-cal advice.

“You can only be so good, and then it’s just a natural thing,” Rusch said. “And she is just a natural.”

One of the qualities that may make her a natural center back is her desire to stop an opponent. Rather than score goals, she wants to prevent them.

“I like that I’m one of the last peo-ple to stop someone from scoring,” Haimes said. “It’s just fun to be back there and not let them score.”

She’s had lots of time to prepare to lead the defense. Since seventh grade, Haimes has been a defend-er.

This season, Haimes was one of four senior co-captains who guid-ed a young team with plenty of new players. Haimes and senior defender Amanda Lutsock helped the other defenders, most of whom were playing varsity for the first time, learn to position themselves and read the offense.

“She was able to read the balls being played behind the defense and put some good hits on the for-wards,” Rusch said.

Her career began as a midfielder when she was 6 years old. Haimes admits she was far from worthy of all-conference awards then.

“I wasn’t the best defender,” Haimes said. “I always stabbed and stuff. I got better at channeling and got better at waiting for the ball. I’m more patient now than I was.”

When she isn’t playing soccer for the high school or for her club team over town, she’s probably working as a referee at matches in Everett, Mukilteo or Lynnwood. Oh, and she is an assistant coach for the Langley Middle School Cougars varsity girls soccer team, too.

As for her other hobbies, her life is a bit like a soccer match late in the second half — it’s on a timer.

“What free time?” she asked.Her schedule is a bit full between

soccer and school since she is enrolled at Skagit Valley Community College through the state’s Running Start program. Haimes is on track to graduate high school with her two-year Associate of Arts degree with a cumulative grade point average hovering around 3 .5.

She hopes to play soccer in college for either a Division II or Division III

school. She is interested in a school in Oregon and all the colleges and universities in Washington, as long as she has a chance to play soccer.

“I don’t want my soccer career to be over,” Haimes said. “I’m good enough to play in college, but it will also just be a good challenge for me.”

The season ended differently than Haimes wanted. The worst part, though, was that it ended at all.

“It is sad that I won’t be able to ever play with these girls again,” Haimes said.

She took pride in the way the seniors led the team this season, devoid of attitude problems and as she said, “drama.” Last year, the Falcon girls soccer team finished with a 2-12 conference record. Some players were suspended and others quit. Thanks to a new coach and a new group of seniors, things changed in 2011.

“We didn’t want drama this year. We just wanted to have fun with it,” Haimes said.

When attitudes soured, she addressed it.

In a match against Sultan, Haimes said junior midfielder Paige Farmer was injured and frustrated that she couldn’t shoot the penalty kick. Haimes told Farmer the team knew she was a great player who was faster than every defender, but they needed her to be healthy.

“We focused on the positives and not the negatives this season,” Haimes said.

The positives came mostly from the players’ attitudes. Haimes also was proud to achieve the team’s goal to improve last year’s record, which the Falcons did by winning four conference matches and six overall.

As for the future, Haimes is wait-ing to see what comes her way, just like she did on the field. Then, she’ll be aggressive and make her move.

Here we are, on the eve of Thanksgiving, wondering how that came to be when Halloween was only last week. Forget that old saw, “Time flies when you’re hav-ing fun” — the truth is time flies whether you’re having fun or not.

Thanksgiving is our own, uniquely American holiday, even though other nations

have tried to emulate it in their own way. It’s a holiday without religious or

sectarian ties, except for those we personally choose to include. I have won-dered from time to time, however, if members of our Indian tribes celebrate Thanksgiving (aside from the casinos, of course) and, if so, in what way? With turkey and all the trimmings, or perhaps, especially in our area, with salmon and other seafood? I’m going to make some inquiries, just to satisfy my own curiosity, but if any of you know, e-mail me at falwalcal@msn.com.

Meanwhile, it’s turkey time in most American homes, with all the usual side effects; sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, green beans, mashed potatoes with giblet gravy, stuffing, fruit or green salad, pumpkin or pecan pie with ice cream or whipped cream, followed

by that overstuffed feeling and the need for a nap. This all takes place, typically, in the company of family and friends, and frequently with the added ingredient of foot-ball games.

There are, of course, many, many things we can be thankful for this November, in spite of the general malaise that has hit us hard over the past two or three years. Many aspects of what we consider the “good life” have shifted for the worse, and far too many people may be both hungry and homeless tomorrow, which should be cause for shame in this nation. But the fact that one of our two nasty wars is drawing to an end and thousands of young men and women will soon be taken out of harm’s way is cause enough to be thankful.

I’ll also remind myself tomorrow to be thankful that I live where I am free to vote as I please or voice my dis-satisfactions without fear of recrimination, and try to not to think about all the rheto-ric, smearing, name-calling and empty promises we’ll have to put up with during the coming months.

This is also a good time for me to say “thanks” to all of you readers who email and call me with comments, recommendations and reci-pes. As any writer will tell you, we all crave hearing from readers, and yes, even when the comments aren’t necessarily favorable. I’d like to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving; may your day be filled with good food, fam-ily and fine friends.

RECIPESFortunately for vegetari-

ans, there are so many excel-lent traditional side dishes that usually accompany turkey on Thanksgiving Day, it’s easy to forego the turkey. Potatoes, both sweet and white and usually mashed, are expected but if you’d like to come up with something just a bit different, try this outstanding potato combina-tion recipe.

TWO POTATO SAUTE2 lbs. white-skinned pota-

toes, peeled and cut into ¾-inch pieces

1½ lbs. red-skinned sweet potatoes (now commonly called yams), peeled and cut into ¾-inch pieces

7 bacon slices, diced (I know; this spoils it for veg-

etarians, and you can leave it out but it won’t be as rich and delicious; another sweet potato recipe follows that vegetarians can enjoy)

¾ cup finely chopped onion

½ cup chopped red bell pepper

¼ cup whipping cream3 T. chopped Italian parsleyBring a large pot of salted

water to a boil; add white potatoes, cover pot partially and cook until almost tender (about 10 min.; don’t over-cook). Use strainer or slotted spoon to transfer potatoes to a large bowl.

Cranberries, a tart Thanksgiving dinner staple, were real sweet for Lori Cavender.

Thanks to House of Prayer and its Cranberry Fest for the fruit, Ryan’s House for Youth is anoth-er couple thousand dollars closer toward opening.

“Almost every bit of money is going to building the shelter,” said Cavender, executive director for Ryan’s House, a homeless youth shelter on South Whidbey.

Cavender received a check from House of Prayer for $1,760. The nonprofit was chosen by House of Prayer’s pastor Glen Horn and its elders. For the past six years of the church’s fundraiser, money from the sales was donated to an interna-tional humanitarian cause exclusive-ly. This year, the church’s leaders wanted to help a Whidbey cause, and caring for homeless youths was the benefactor.

“It is the uniqueness of that proj-

ect,” Horn said. “There are lots of worthy projects — it’s just that this \ targeted and met the kind of needs at home that we were looking to help overseas.”

Volunteers from House of Prayer trudged through the bog just a mile north on Highway 525 to pick the cranberries. One of the Cranberry Fest committee chairs, Donna Frederick, said four people were responsible for picking 142 8-ounce bags of cranberries, which sold out by noon — doors opened at 9 a.m.

She estimated 300 people visited the tiny church’s fellowship hall to buy fresh cranberries, cranberry relish, cranberry mustard and cheesecake.

Altogether, they raised more than $3,500, with half going to Ryan’s House and half going to drought relief in eastern Kenya and Somalia.

“It’s just God’s people in the world doing stuff,” Horn said.

Cavender has been busy promot-ing Ryan’s House and its cause;

assisting, and advocating for, home-less youths. She recently returned from the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth conference in Pittsburgh, Penn.

“We need to continue to get the story out that these are good kids born in bad situations,” Cavender said.

One way she’s planning to make the group more visible is a mobile

support van that will visit locations in Langley, Coupeville and Oak Harbor. The van is stocked with toiletries, sleeping bags, gloves, scarves, hats, blankets and snacks, almost all of which were donated, which Cavender was grateful for and said unused soap and shampoo from hotels are great giveaways from the van.

Two rows of seats were removed for storage of the gear. One row remains so youths can get rides if they need them.

The van is in the parking lot across from Langley United Methodist Church from 3 to 4 p.m. Mondays; in Coupeville on Tuesdays; and in the Oak Harbor Walmart parking lot Thursdays.

Cavender’s tireless work on Ryan’s House got Frederick’s atten-tion, which was one of the reasons she suggested the charity.

“We really wanted to donate to something local,” Frederick said. “It’s a real need. She’s just spending her life on it.”

While waiting at the Clinton Ferry dock, I caught sight of a large bird swishing in the strong wind just off the unused loading dock. At first glance the bird looked like a Bald Eagle, but the flight pattern was odd and erratic.

On second glance I real-

ized this “bird” was a fabric decoy suspended on a wire. I presume it was installed to ward off the flocks of star-lings, gulls, cormorants and other birds that roost on the dock’s superstructure.

This “scarecrow” appeared to be working, since the dock was relatively free of unwanted wildlife. (I hesitate to type those words, “unwanted wildlife.”)

During late fall and winter many species of birds gather into flocks. Last Saturday I led a group of Whidbey Audubon members to Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. While there, we experienced the phenomenon of thou-sands of Cackling Geese, smaller, darker cousins to the more familiar Canada Geese, flying in the air and settling to feed on the large open fields. Up north of us, another large flocking spe-

cies, the Snow Geese, will soon gather for the winter.

Small birds also flock in winter. Chickadees and kinglets bounce through trees while softly signaling to each other to maintain their flock of perhaps eight to 20 birds. Bushtits, another under 5-inch bird, form into bunches while feeding in shrubs.

Shorebirds cloud togeth-er; starlings murmur into close flocks. And other birds like robins, sparrows and gulls form loose, gangling groups.

If the bird flocks are small or off in a salt marsh, we don’t mind and usually just enjoy them. But when the flocks descend in large num-bers onto our field crops and structures or pack tightly

into trees to rest during the day or roost at night, we become alarmed. And those birds turn into “unwanted wildlife.”

We go to great lengths to scare these densely flocking birds out of our fields or off our structures. We’ve added spikes or strings, shot off firecrackers and cannons, even blared music or preda-tor calls.

It was years ago, while studying ornithology, when I began to appreciate that along with food and water birds need a safe place to rest during the day and roost at night. This is particularly true during winter after their busy spring northbound migration, summer breeding and fall southbound migra-tion.

I was assigned to watch the behavior of one bird for hours at a time. I chose a Bald Eagle, which perched daily in a cottonwood tree near where I lived.

Each winter morning at around 10, the bird flew into the tree and sat for two to four hours where I monitored how much time it preened or snoozed or just rested and digested. That big eagle required a large amount of resting time each day, not unlike the quiet time I require each day, working, reading and digesting.

Seabirds and ducks can find protected bays and rest on the water. Sparrows, wrens and other small birds can snuggle into protected trees and eaves of houses.

But some of our larger birds must settle onto human-made structures and therefore become unwanted. I hope we can be generous in allowing the birds to share our lives and our structures.

Nature or messiness: Sometimes we must choose, but let’s do so after consider-ing both sides.

1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Butter a 9x13 baking dish. Whisk together broth, flour, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large saucepan, until well blended. Bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Add potatoes and bring back to a boil. Transfer half the potato and broth mix to the prepared dish. Sprinkle with ¾ cup of the cheese, then top with remaining potato/broth mix. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 30 min. Remove foil, sprinkle

with remaining cheese and continue baking, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and the top has browned, about 45 min. Cool slightly before serving. Serves 8-10.

Because of an unfortunate incident involving green beans when I was a teenager, I’ve had a long-standing aver-sion to them, and especially to that awful Thanksgiving dish, the dreaded Green Been Mushroom Soup Onion-Topped Casserole.

I’m happy now, however, to tell you that a couple of months ago, in Cook’s Country magazine, I found a recipe that cured my fear of green beans. I thankfully share it with you here.

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

trimmed¼ cup waterSalt and pepper, to taste¾ cup dried cranberries

(I use Craisins)4 oz. crumbled

Gorgonzola (or blue cheese of preference)

¾ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

Melt butter in a skillet over med. heat. Add shal-lot and cook until softened, about 1 min. Add beans; increase heat to med. high and cook, stirring occasion-ally, until beans are spotty brown but not fully cooked, 8-10 min.

Stir in water and ½ t. of salt; add the dried cranber-ries, cover, reduce heat to med.-low. Cook until beans are almost tender, 3-5 min., then remove lid and cook until liquid evaporates and beans are tender, about 1 more minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to serving plate or dish, top with crumbled cheese and sprinkle with walnuts. Serves 8.

BY PATRICIA DUFFSouth Whidbey Record

Nineteen and counting.Whidbey Island Dance Theatre’s 19th sea-

son of “The Nutcracker” opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9 in the auditorium at South Whidbey High School.

Co-director and choreographer Susan Campbell Sandri said this year’s famous Christmas ballet, set to the charming music of Tchaikovsky’s beloved “Nutcracker Suite,” has a few exciting surprises added to the yearly extravaganza that invites more than 50 guest artists to join the company dancers.

“Our loyal fans will be surprised to see Godfather Drosselmeyer’s amazing new abili-ties this year. Look for him in new places,” she said.

“There are also new faces and characters in the ‘Living Room,’ new costumes in ‘Snow’ and all new choreography ‘Underwater,’” Sandri added.

Sandri said the ballet blends traditional and imaginative new choreography to tell the tale of Clara’s enchanted Christmas Eve when her mysterious godfather’s magic leads her into a wonderland of fantasies. Clara jour-neys to lands where snowflakes and flowers dance; where fairies, mermaids and even a dragon perform. And, of course in the end, a handsome prince comes to her rescue.

The role is a dream for every young danc-er, and this year 16-year-old South Whidbey High School junior Elliauna Madsen gets to dance the role of Clara.

Madsen began her dance studies at age 3 and became a member of the Whidbey Island Dance Theatre company in the sev-enth grade. She now claims the company rank of soloist in ballet and as a principal in contemporary dance.

Madsen said the role of Clara requires strong acting skills in addition to sharp danc-ing skills and her main goal is to embody the

character of Clara in everything she does onstage.

“I don’t want to be boring, so I’ve been working on changing it up,” Madsen said.

“You really just have to keep the emotion in your face and your body at the same time, because if you don’t, it just looks awkward.”

Madsen will also dance the part of the Flower Faerie, which is one of her favorite parts.

“It’s more soft and relaxed. It’s kind of fun to just act pretty, basically. It’s a good contrast

to what is happening before that,” she said, referring to her scene in which she must battle not-so-nice mice.

“I’m afraid of the mice,” Madsen said. At least that is the acting part that has been her biggest challenge. Be afraid of the mice with-out repeating yourself, she said.

“It’s really important to know how to act,” she added.

The snow scene is another favorite section for the dancer.

“I like doing difficult things and that scene

is very hard. It’s a good challenge and it’s intense. I like it,” Madsen said.

Madsen’s Nutcracker prince is Ty Molbak, whose first ballet role was Frederick in the company’s 2006 production of the Christmas ballet. At that time, Molbak’s New Orleans family was displaced by Hurricane Katrina and had come to live with his island grandparents. Molbak is now a pre-profes-sional, Los Angeles-based dancer and Sandri said she is thrilled to have him back on the Whidbey Island stage.

Several alumni of the company, who went on to professional careers in dance and elsewhere, return this year to the produc-tion including Chelsea Matthews-Jensen as the Snow Queen, Avery Grant as the Faerie Queen, Brittany Falso as a demi-soloist and Snowflake, Nicole Falso as the mermaid and Rat demi-soloist and Graham Vanderwood as the Nutcracker. Lars Larsen returns as Godfather Drosselmeyer and Jennifer Bondelid will play Aunt.

Madsen said of all the dancers who’ve returned she’s particularly excited about alumna Katelyn Candelario, who will dance in the snow scene and as a flower.

“I looked up to her when I was little,” Madsen said.

“I still think she’s amazing. She’s really good at portraying what she’s trying to show and has a really unique way of moving.”

Those who will help these dancers highlight the best of their gifts are the choreographers. They include artistic direc-tor Charlene Brown and artistic director Sandri, with guest choreographers Bondelid, Leigh-Anne Cohen-Hafford, Matthews-Jensen, Susan Vanderwood and Graham Vanderwood.

‘Big, the Musical’ comes to Langley

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts presents “Big, the Musical” from Dec. 2 through Dec. 17.

The show is 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays.

The 1987 hit movie bursts onstage in this vibrant, funny and touch-ing musical about a Whidbey Island kid who wishes to be “big” and suddenly has his wish granted.

One morning shortly before his 13th birthday, Josh (who plays in Little League and has just started to discover girls) wakes up a full-grown man. His mother mistakes him for an intruder and chases him out of the house. Josh makes his away to Seattle, where he becomes an “Idea Man” at a toy company and has to reconcile his childish sense of wonder in the adult world of office poli-tics and romance.

The Whidbey Island Center for the Arts pro-duction is directed by Robert W. Prosch and features Megan Besst, Anthony Caldwell, Jim Carroll, Adrian Cook, Jameson Cook, Jamie Cook, Paul Dickerson, Kim

Dunkley, Olivia Dunkley, Liam Henny, Annika Hustad, Kari Hustad, Mikkel Hustad, Arthur Keast, Carson Keeley-Orr, Jordan Kelly, MacKenna Kelly, Sheri Kelly, Skye Kelly, Clara Larson-Clifford, Juliana Larson-Wickman, Melanie Lowey, Hannah Mack, Keith Mack, Melinda Mack, Sarah Parker, Savannah True Randall, Margeaux Scholz, Aleah Stacey, Kathy Stanley, Tristan A.B. Steel, Ken Stephens, Sarah Swanberg, Andy Walker and Alyssa Woodbury.

A brown bag prologue to “Big, the Musical” is

1:15 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4.Tickets cost $12 to $16

and are available by calling WICA at 221-8268 or 800-638-7631.

Festival on the Danube at NWLA

The Northwest Language Academy presents its Winter Festival on the Danube from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10 in Langley.

Take a journey down the “River of Time” in the next offering in the NWLA’s Language of Food series, which explores cuisines and cultures from around the world. For

this installment, NWLA will explore the diverse cultures on both banks of the Danube River. This ancient international waterway spans centuries, landscapes and traditions as it flows from Germany’s Black Forest through Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine and Romania before emptying into the Black Sea.

The afternoon cooking class from 2 to 5 p.m. will focus on traditional win-ter pastries and sweets from the Danube region. Learn the techniques for a variety of deli-cious treats like German Weihnachtsplätzchen and Christstollen, Hungarian Smákökur, Austrian stru-del and Kaiserschmarr’n and Bulgarian koledna

pitka.The evening event will

begin with a traditional eight-course Eastern European feast, includ-ing specialties such as Viener Gulyásleves (gou-lash soup), Lecsó (mixed vegetable stew), Gulyás (goulash), schnitzel, Uborka Saláta, spaetzle, Kenyér (traditional bread baked fresh) cooked by Hungarian chef Janos Toldi and others. With both meat and vegetarian options available, guests will be able to warm up with the rich and hearty fare of the Danube region. Dinner will be paired with a selection of regional wines from Bulgaria and Hungary.

The Forras Hungarian Folk Band will open with the village music of Hungary and Transylvania, and songs of Romanian

and Romani origin.Guests will also be

entertained by the Kisbetyárok Family Dancers.

For the final portion of the program, NWLA will explore the ways in which such folk traditions came to inspire and influence well-known classical com-posers, with Eileen Soskin on piano and Gloria Ferry Brennan on violin. Dean Paton, founder of Seattle’s Valse Café Orchestra, will demonstrate how the music of Brahms, Bartok and Kodaly evolved from the peasant music of the region and lead the audi-ence in a series of tradi-tional Vienna waltzes.

For reservations, con-tact 321-2101 or info@nwlanguageacademy.com; the cooking class is $35; the dinner and perfor-mances are $65.
