News from the Heart of Whidbey Island

The Whidbey

BY REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter

Matt Chambers, pastor of South Whidbey Assembly, describes his first 25 years of service as abounding with

a strong sense of community, yet replete with changes.

When he graduated from Northwestern University in 1987 with a degree in missions, the state religious organization asked him to come to South Whidbey to serve. He and his wife Barbara had no idea where Whidbey Island was.

When they arrived at the church, the congre-gation consisted of 12 people.

“We came there thinking we’d stay two years,” Chambers said. Two years of service are required to partake in overseas missions, which Chambers was eager to do.

“Then two years became five years,” he said.

At 10 years, Chambers said he asked God if that was the time to go over-seas. He said he felt God had given him the heart to go overseas but was say-ing, “This is where I want you.”

Then 10 years became 25 years of community service and expanding and improving the church. The congregation will celebrate a quarter-century of Chambers’ service from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6 at the church, located at 5373 Maxwelton Road in Langley. The community is invited to attend.

When Chambers first joined the church, it was located in the small building in Clinton that now houses Cooper Automotive. In 1989, the church was relocated to Maxwelton Road.

The Chambers founded Island Christian Academy in 1990, where Barbara has taught for

more than 20 years.In 1994, Chambers start-

ed the Celebrate America annual public fireworks dis-play at Freeland Park as a service to the community.

The South Whidbey community has also seen changes over the years.

“When I first came here, the standard church attire was a dress shirt and tie. Now, people wear whatever

they want to wear, including me,” Chambers said.

Twenty-five years ago, there were about 1,500 youths in the community. That number increased to 2,300 but is now back to about 1,400, Chambers said.

“We feel that same impact. It means there’s less young families in general,” Chambers said.

There also was no cable TV or internet when Chambers first came to South Whidbey. Now, everyone is “on” all the time, Chambers said, adding that this impacts stress, marriages, finances and more.

People are busier in general, Chambers said. Twenty-five years ago, a regular church attend-ee went to church 50 Sundays out of the year. Now, that number has dipped to 30, Chambers said.

Regardless, Chambers has shaped the church into a community-centered organization. The goal is to create a church that is so meaningful to the community that even if the community doesn’t agree with its beliefs, they would miss the church if it disappeared, Chambers said.

“The church is so generous, whether they’re giving to Good Cheer or Helping Hand or orphans,” Chambers said. “The church has been great to our family.”

The Chambers have five children, Nathan,

LANGLEY — Kids are in peril. Drug and substance abuse, lag-

ging education and too few extra-curricular opportunities were main-ly blamed at Wednesday’s school board meeting. And parents want the South Whidbey School District to help their children.

That was Tom French’s mes-sage to the school board and Superintendent Jo Moccia at the board meeting Wednesday. He has been part of a group that met with current students, recent graduates, parents with students in the school district and parents who have taken their students out of South Whidbey schools, all to discuss students’ drug use on the South End.

“The content of those conversa-tions was alarming as I began to understand the depth and serious-ness of the substance abuse prob-lem among young people in our community,” French read from a written statement.

French recalled one of his conver-sations in which a drug and alcohol counselor said the South Whidbey School District was denying, “the full extent of the problem.”

Moccia rebuffed that comment, however, and said school leaders and she recognized youth substance abuse is an issue on the South End.

Shakespeare�fest�faces�changes

The 2012 Island Shakespeare Festival presentation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” broke previous attendance records and brought visitors from around the world, accord-ing to a press release.

“Every season I have been delighted with the attendance for Island Shakespeare Festival. This year we saw a one-third

increase over last year — which was double that of our first year — with a total attendance of nearly 3,000,” said Artistic Director Rose Woods. “We had many locals, of course, and we also saw audience members from all over the state; and all over the country — from Tucson, Ariz. to Tampa, Fla. There were even audience members from Canterbury-Kent, England; Edinburgh, Scotland; and Nairobi, Kenya!”

Next summer, Island Shakespeare Festival will present two of the Bard’s immortal works in new productions of “King Lear” and “Much Ado About Nothing,” with a possibility of one of the productions being staged at a venue in Langley itself.

At the same time, Woods made the announcement that the ongoing success of the Shakespeare Festival has led to a difficult decision.

“I have given my

formal notice to step down as artistic director of Whidbey Children’s Theater in March 2013,” Woods said. “This deci-sion was not an easy one to make, but for my own well being, as well as the health of both arts organizations, I feel that there is a risk that creativ-ity and professionalism might be compromised if I continue operating two theater groups at this pace.”

Woods said her depar-ture is bittersweet.

“I have uncountable joys and memories these past years,” she said in a press release. “I’ve been excited to witness con-tinued growth with the children and their fami-lies as well as a newfound appreciation and enthu-siasm in the community for Whidbey Children’s Theater. I think there is much more richness and joy ahead as Whidbey Children’s Theater contin-ues to grow and thrive.”

Even as she departs her successes at Whidbey

Children’s Theater, Woods said she is looking for-ward to a refinement of her artistic vision that will continue to benefit the South Whidbey commu-nity and its visitors.

“Island Shakespeare Festival’s growth has been unprecedented,” she said. “I am excited to put my focused energies there now.”

Langley�gets�new� live�jazz�venue

OutCast Productions is celebrating the finale of their successful first season by adding something new to the program: live jazz on Sunday nights.

Performances are scheduled from 7 to 9:15 p.m. every Sunday, starting Oct. 7 with Langley’s powerhouse Latin Jazz ensemble Bahia.

Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students at the door.

OutCast’s theater at the Island County Fairgrounds is the ideal showcase for Whidbey Island’s world-class musicians, according to OutCast managing partner Sandy O’Brien.

“Jazz programming is a natural way to serve our community, both the perform-ers and the audience. It’s all ages, all local and all live. We’re using student groups as opening acts, and working to create mentoring relationships with the profes-sionals.”

Bookings for Jazz At OutCast are being handled by Scott Small, owner of the Lakeside Percussion Studio in Langley, and drummer for several of the groups sched-uled to perform.

“I approached OutCast about adding a jazz night so our local bands can have a regular gig through the winter. In this business, if you aren’t appearing, you’re disappearing.”

As a teacher, Small expects the new venue to play a key role in developing Whidbey’s next generation of players.

“I want to help my students make the transition from band room to jazz club, from school to the professional stage,” Small said.

The schedule of performers is available at www.outcastproductions.net.

Riding into a brighter future

BY RECORD STAFF

A pair of Greenbank musicians are reeling after their home was burglarized while they attended a popular music festival. Kristi and Keith O’Donnell had their home burglar-ized the evening of Sept. 22 while they were performing at DjangoFest Northwest, which took place Sept. 19 through Sept. 23 in Langley.

“It’s devastating,” Kristi O’Donnell said, not wanting to talk about the burglary. She referred to a posting on her website outlining what was stolen.

Burglars got away with instruments, recording equip-ment, electronics and personal items that included the ashes of O’Donnell’s mom.

The instruments stolen include a Heritage H575 Archtop Jazz Guitar, a Gibson Tal Farlow, a Heritage electric guitar, a Louden O10c acoustic guitar, an electric bass, and a ukelele.

Also stolen were a computer, hard drives, a mixer, micro-phones, amplifier and other items along with a collection of 25,000 songs plus original material.

O’Donnell is a member of Trio Nouveau, a jazz band that performs around the Puget Sound area. She left a message on the website to the thieves that they can return items by leaving them in the open shed with the green roof.

People with information about the stolen items should call the Island County Sheriff’s Office at 360-321-5111, according to the website.

The Island County Historical Society and Museum faces an uncertain future, as next year’s Island County budget takes shape.

If proposed figures are approved, the historical museum would be stripped of about 60 percent of the money it currently receives from the county — about 6 percent of the museum’s $120,000 annual operating budget.

At the commissioners’ meeting on Monday, several people spoke in favor of main-taining funding for the muse-um and its archives. None spoke against.

The commissioners are considering reducing the money earmarked for the museum from the $12,000 it received this year to $5,000. The museum has asked for $15,000 for next year.

“If we have to shut down the museum, it is not going to be like turning off a light switch and turning it back on,” museum supporter Georgia Gardner said.

“To try to get it back would be an almost insurmountable hurdle.”

Yet, the museum has not always received a five-digit county contribution. Even with a reduction, the amount would still be greater than the average $2,500 per year the museum used to receive before 2009.

Like all nonprofits whose private contributions dropped as a result of the economic recession, the museum and historical society needed a financial boost in order to keep its doors open.

The county commissioners had agreed to provide addi-tional funding — money that was pulled from the county’s reserve account.

“My concern is that although I think it is appropri-ate for the county to help sup-port (the museum), the abil-ity to do so has to be based on the revenue stream,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said. “Dipping into the savings was to bridge the gap, but it is not sustainable.”

Johnson acknowledged that the museum has done a good job of fundraising and the success of the museum depends on the community.

But for Rick Castellano, executive director, the muse-um is doing as much as it can to raise money — including selling hot dogs and pastries at events — and tapping into volunteer support.

“Any good museum can-not continue without sub-stantial support from the gov-ernment,” Castellano said. “To bridge the gap, I can’t envision us doing more than we’re doing. We are provid-ing more services with less resources.”

County ‘scrapbook’The museum not only has

an educational mission, with some 2,000 children visiting each year, Castellano said. It also is a tourism draw that has a positive impact on local businesses.

Volunteers catalogue the thousands of photographs, documents, maps, paintings and artifacts entrusted to the care of the volunteer archi-vist, Joan Peters. These are materials used by community

members and visitors each Monday for personal or pro-fessional research projects.

Kay Foss, who with Judy Lynn produced a photo-graphic history of Coupeville titled “Images of America: Coupeville,” said that with-out access to the museum’s archives, the book would never have been written.

She cited the importance of the building’s contents. Foss asked the question that many have pondered: what would you save, if your house were to catch fire?

The answer, for her, would be the scrapbooks.

“You can’t give up the scrap-book of the county,” Foss said to the commissioners.

SWHS seniors gain lunch liberty

South Whidbey seniors have the opportunity to leave campus for lunch.

The school board approved the student body’s proposal for senior off-campus rights at Wednesday’s business meeting. Elli Madsen, Falcon senior class president, presented the proposal to the school board and answered a few questions from board members.

Vice principal Scott Mauk said only 25 seniors applied for and received off-campus rights. Approved seniors are given a sticker for their student identification or Associated Student Body card, which is checked before a senior may leave the Maxwelton Road

campus during lunch. Having someone monitor the seniors and the park-ing lot has been difficult, however.

“With secretarial time being winnowed down, that’s very challenging,” Mauk told the board.

Board Member Linda Racicot asked Madsen where seniors go dur-ing the 30-minute lunch break. Madsen said most head for the Dairy Queen in Clinton or Pickles at Ken’s Korner Shopping Mall, and a smaller num-ber drive into downtown Langley.

Costs to come at next levy meeting

Leaders with the South Whidbey School District have started the process to seek a levy in February.

At a workshop in September, the school board members, princi-pals, district superinten-

dent, teachers and par-ents met to discuss some of the work needed to repair facilities around the district. Maintenance staff and the superintendent have researched repair and replacement costs with many of the issues such as leaking roofs, cracked and warped sid-ing, leaky pipes and field drainage, among dozens of other maintenance problems.

District Superintendent Jo Moccia said the costs will be presented to the board at its next work-shop Oct. 10.

“We will have some dol-lars connected to many of the items proposed for repair and mainte-nance,” she told the board Wednesday night.

Teachers, district choose evaluation

This year, 20 volunteer teachers will be evaluated by the Danielson model.

The South Whidbey School District is piloting a teacher and principal evaluation system with a grant from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Last year, the teach-ers union and District Superintendent Jo

Moccia reviewed three options and were allowed to choose from three models. The two parties agreed on the Danielson model, named for its author Charlotte Danielson, which looks at a teacher’s empirically documented responsibili-ties and duties. Danielson evaluations are based on a four-tier system, rather than the previous model of satisfactory or unsatis-factory.

As part of the upcom-ing teachers contract negotiations, how to use student performance as a criteria in the evaluations will be discussed.

By the 2013-2014 school year, all teachers and prin-cipals will be evaluated in the district and across Washington.

Council to discuss 2013 budget

The Langley City Council will discuss the 2013 budget at its next meeting Monday, Oct. 1.

The city council will also discuss a grant to purchase radar traffic signs. The Langley Police

Department has requested funding for two electronic signs, which cost about $5,600 each. Police Chief Randy Heston proposed that both signs would be placed in school zones and near bus stops. In the proposal, Heston touted an added benefit would be the signs’ traffic analyz-ers to review traffic control and safety standards.

Council members will also vote on authorizing Mayor Larry Kwarsick to sign the rural mobility grant application, which would give Langley bus service on Sundays.

There will also be a peri-od for citizen comments, which are requested to be less than five minutes.

The Langley City Council meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, located at 112 Second St.

Chamber members to meet, dine

Freeland Chamber of Commerce members are reminded and invited to attend the chamber board meeting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4 at China City. Anyone interested in joining the chamber or seeking more information may contact [email protected] or 331-1980. Annual member dues cost $145.

Public to be heard about budget

Island County commis-sioners have worked on

the 2013 budget all month and are ready to hear the public’s input. There will be a commissioners meet-ing at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 1 in the commission-ers’ hearing room in the courthouse annex build-ing, located at 1 N.E. Sixth St. in Coupeville.

Commissioners met seven times in September to work on the county’s budget for the coming year. The budget has an estimated $67.1 million in revenues, 25 percent of which will come from property taxes, with an equal expenditure bud-get. Maintenance and operations are expected to increase this year to $23.7 million, about 36 percent of the county’s total expenditures. Interdepartment and transfers costs are pro-jected to shrink, however, from $9.1 million to about $8.3 million.

A second hearing, if needed, is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8.

Former lawyer gets four years

Peter Allen Moote, a for-mer attorney in Freeland, was sentenced to four years in prison for embez-zling about $2 million from clients from 1990 until 2011.

The 64-year-old man pleaded guilty in March, and was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ricardo Martinez last week in Seattle. Moote admitted he embezzled client funds through a fraud scheme in which he represented clients with personal inju-ry, sexual harassment, dis-crimination and other civil suits. He negotiated set-tlements on behalf of his clients and would accept settlement checks for his clients, only to transfer the money into his per-sonal or firm’s accounts. Moote resigned from the Washington State Bar in November 2010.

Martinez ordered Moote to pay restitu-tion to his clients. The specific amount will be determined Dec. 7 at a hearing. A Department of Justice release said the Washington State Bar Association’s Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection has paid Moote’s victims about $800,000, thus far.

Electionshow can they claim they didn’t raise taxes?

To the editor:With each edition of the South Whidbey

Record, I read letters to the editor that praise Helen Price Johnson and Angie Homola.

If Island County’s finances weren’t such a serious matter, the letters would be entertain-ing. But the high taxation and high spending by these two members of the county commis-sion is breathtaking. This while they and their surrogates deny that either has increased taxes while they have been in office.

Well, reality is a nasty thing. I remind readers that there is a direct

relationship between a property’s assessed value and combined millage and the amount of taxes paid. I keep a spreadsheet of the assessed value and combined millage by tax year for our home in Freeland. Taxes are calculated by multiplying the assessed value of your property by the millage. The product of that calculation is the amount of tax you are obligated to pay.

During the nearly four years that Price Johnson and Homola have been in office, the value of our home has decreased by 10 per-cent. You would think then that the amount of property tax that we would pay would also be 10 percent less.

Well, it was not. In fact, during that same period, our taxes increased by 12 percent. That means that the amount our taxes increased didn’t just make up for the 10 per-cent assessed value loss, they were actually increased by Helen Price Johnson and Angie Homola by an additional 2 percent. All of this during an ongoing recession.

So, I ask my fellow Island County taxpay-ers, why would Price Johnson and Homola want you to believe that they didn’t raise taxes when they did? Maybe they think that, just as there is a direct relationship between assessed value, millage and taxes paid, there is also a direct relationship between admitting the truth, that taxes were increased during their term in office, and their re-election.

Sometimes ‘change’ is good, sometimes less so

I’m seeing political ads that say “it’s time for a change.” Those made me wonder if change is always good. Sometimes. But now? I don’t think so.

I like what I have been seeing lately. I like that I see “SOLD” signs on houses in my neighborhood. I like that I see many new “Now Hiring” signs on businesses. I like see-ing ferries plying our waters and know they are built in Washington, creating jobs right here. I like traveling Highway 20 knowing there are far fewer deaths because of the rumble strips.

I like knowing that my friend’s granddaugh-ter, who has health issues, can be covered on her parent’s medical insurance until she is 26. I like knowing that children born with con-genital health issues will no longer be denied health coverage because of “pre-existing con-ditions.”

I like knowing that we have elected offi-cials, and candidates for public office, who care about the environment and want to pre-serve farmland and public spaces.

I like reading on the front page of an Everett newspaper that, according to a recent poll, more than half of Americans consider themselves better off than they were four years ago.

Change? It depends. I want more of what we have: Elected officials who practice

bipartisanship, who maintain their principles even when attacked and who are forward thinking. I don’t want to go back to an era when over 50 percent of seniors lived in pov-erty without Medicare, when women, gays and minorities were second-class citizens and when social services were minimal. I espe-cially don’t want to go back to the policies that created this awful recession in the first place.

Change could mean going backwards. I want to go Forward. That’s why I am vot-ing for Mary Margaret Haugen, Tom Riggs, Angie Homola, Helen Price Johnson, and Aaron Simpson.

Alleged ‘voters guide’ was highly partisan

Last week included in our local paper was a handy “2012 Informed Voter Guide.” But in small letters was “Paid Advertisement” and the fact that it was published by The Freedom Foundation.

For those who are not civics geeks, The

Freedom Foundation is a very conservative group with unknown financing. They often work with the Cato Institute — a libertarian Koch brothers funded right-wing think tank.

The Koch brothers (each worth $20 billion) are two very conservative billionaires who fund right-wing causes and lobbying efforts. Most of their money comes from oil, gas and coal — but they own many other busi-nesses. Far from just being “climate change skeptics,” they are involved in many issues regarding regulations and taxes. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United deci-sion, we may never know who funds these types of “guides.”

They have a clear agenda and you should keep that in mind when presented with some-thing that tries to look like a balanced tool. They are far from nonpartisan or balanced.

Berries could once again be an abundant fixture at the Greenbank Farm.

The owners of a small Central Whidbey farm are hoping to lease land from the publicly owned farm so they can plant berry bushes that will comprise a U-pick opera-tion open to the public.

Five Acre Farm, on Highway 20 between Coupeville and Greenbank,

wants to lease 7.5 acres of land and plant rows of logan-berries, strawberries, rasp-berries and blueberries on the farm of the one-time larg-est loganberry producer in the United States. The small farm would also request an option to lease an additional 7.5 acres.

Five Acre Farm started growing vegetables in 2009. Since then it has expanded to 12 acres, owner Damon Gibson said, with produce sold at local farmers markets and other venues.

After seeing the abundance of blackberry bushes grow-ing at the farm, he thought the U-pick proposal would be a timely project.

The commissioners for the Port of Coupeville, the entity that owns the farm, tabled the proposed U-pick project during a recent meeting.

The Greenbank Farm has expanded its agricultural operations in recent years. Most notably, a farmer train-ing center opened. A small loganberry patch remains at the farm along with a public garden.

Port of Coupeville execu-tive director Jim Patton said he would like more elabora-tion about the location Five Acre Farm wants to use for the berry fields, how the land will be irrigated, what kind of parking will be provided and how the berry proposal will affect the Greenbank Farm’s organic certification.

There are also concerns about how the additional berry fields would affect the amount of water available at the farm.

Judy Feldman, manager of the Greenbank Farm, said she doesn’t know yet how much water is available, and wants to make sure the plants used will thrive at the Farm.

The Greenbank Farm is supplied by a spring located on the other side of Highway 525.

Gibson noted that the farm’s water right allows use up to 129.5 acre feet per year, 21 gallons per minute to irrigate a maximum of 125 acres.

Both Patton and Feldman said the water right doesn’t translate into the amount of water available for irrigation.

“We don’t have any idea what is coming out of the spring,” Patton said.

Similar concerns about expanding agriculture were expressed in 2010, when a proposal for a tree orchard was axed. People were con-cerned about water usage and that a conventional agriculture operation would threaten the farm’s organic certification, which took three years to obtain.

27, Amey, 25, and Robin, 22, and adopted twins, Kelly and Kyle, 14, from Cambodia. With the twins, Chambers said the church was extremely helpful.

A unique aspect of South Whidbey churches is that they are all like family.

“We have a great working relationship with the churches on South Whidbey, so the camaraderie with the other pastors is a unique thing. We have this mutual support and camaraderie and friendship and you actually like each other and support each other. That’s not always been a real-ity, but it’s unique on South Whidbey,” Chambers said. He described the camaraderie as one of the highlights of the past 25 years.

The pastors studied the same Scriptures to teach in their churches for six weeks, then on the seventh week, they drew names out of a hat and preached at different churches. The pastors also get together monthly to pray.

“It’s really just praying for the community. Praying for

businesses, praying for the school district, praying for the economic situation, praying for some of the families that are struggling, people that are battling chemical addictions,” Chambers said.

“Part of our idea behind churches is we want to be part of the community and we feel we are part of the community,” Chambers said.

South Whidbey Assembly has a booth at the Whidbey Island Fair each year to raise money to support orphans, they put on Celebrate America, they donate to the Good Cheer Food Bank and more. Chambers has embarked on short overseas missions to Uganda, Romania and other countries and has included other South Whidbey church members in these missions.

After 25 years at South Whidbey Assembly, Chambers has no plans to leave.

“Here’s where I’m at. I’m supposed to pray for the com-munity,” Chambers said. He recited a Bible verse from Jeremiah 29:7: “And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare.”

LANGLEY — This South Whidbey volleyball squad is no Cinderella.

Sure, the Falcons have a couple of come-from-behind wins like Thursday night’s five-set tiebreaker victory against the Granite Falls Tigers. But this Falcon team just can’t seem to sweep.

South Whidbey cruised in the first set and seemed poised for a short match against Granite Falls (3-4 Cascade Conference; 3-4 over-all). Then the Falcons fell silent on the court and struggled to cleanly pass while the Tigers shored up their defense and limited their errors to win the second and third sets.

Finally, the Falcons found some rhythm, rallied in the fourth set and ran away in the fifth to win the match. After winning the final point, the Falcons (3-4 Cascade Conference; 3-5 overall) looked more relieved than thrilled with victory.

“We’re pretty thrilled,” said Falcon junior Mackenzie Hezel. “I think we’re just tired. We’re just glad that those five games finally paid off.”

“I don’t know why we do that. A win is a win.”

The Falcons may be exhausted. Last week, South Whidbey played three five-set matches in five days, then hosted a 16-team tourna-ment Saturday and played five shortened best-of-three matches. A pair of starters, senior Hannah Calderwood and sophomore Anne Madsen, were battling illness this week, too.

“It’s hard to give 110 percent when you’re not feeling great,” said Falcon head coach Mandy Jones.

South Whidbey looked like it

was in control and ready for its first three-game sweep in two weeks. The Falcons jumped out to a 3-0 lead, and the Turks never came within three points of the lead again as South Whidbey won the first set 25-16.

“As long as we held onto the ball and kept serving, we were fine,” Jones said.

Granite Falls took an early lead in the second set, 13-8. South Whidbey crept back and tied the set 14-14 on a block and a kill by sophomore hitter Abby Hodson, who totaled eight kills, two blocks and two aces. Falcon junior hitter Carlee Mills aced her serve and

senior hitter Aly Chapman scored a kill for the Falcons’ first lead, 16-14. Then errors, six in a row, mounted against South Whidbey and put Granite Falls ahead 20-16 before Jones called a timeout.

“Our passes were tight and we couldn’t get them over the net,” Jones said. “It’s coming out of nowhere. We practice serve-receive all the time, every practice. I don’t know what it is.”

A little rest and regrouping looked like it worked. The Falcons scored the next two points on a kill by Chapman and an ace by Anne Madsen, who finished the night with five. Errors persisted for

South Whidbey, including a missed dig on a simple pass by Tiger setter Kimmy Martinez, as Granite Falls pulled away 25-19.

The frustration of losing the second set put South Whidbey in a funk to start the third. The Falcons opened with four errors before Mills dropped a tip pass over the Tiger blockers. Granite Falls led 8-3 before Falcon senior hitter Hannah Calderwood led a five-point run with a block and a kill to tie at 8-8. From there, the two teams traded the lead seven times, when Calderwood’s kill put the Falcons ahead 23-22. Tiger sophomore set-ter Miranda Prausa dropped a tip

past the Falcons to tie 23-23, and back-to-back Falcon errors cost them the third set 25-23.

“When we got a good pass in, we could not put the ball down to save our lives,” said Falcon junior setter Meagan Longdon, who tallied 29 assists, five aces and two kills.

Granite Falls was poised to win and secure a winning conference record in the fourth set. The Tigers roared to a 5-1 lead on three aces, including two by Prausa who fin-ished the match with 16 assists and six aces.

There was some fight left in the Falcons, however. South Whidbey went on a 7-1 run to pull ahead 8-6, capped by back-to-back Hodson kills and consecutive Madsen aces. The Tigers weathered the storm and waited for the Falcons to make mistakes, which they did on three straight points to return the lead to Granite Falls at 10-8. South Whidbey regained the lead at 17-16, and held on to win 25-20 and force a tiebreaker.

“Once we got on, we were fine,” Longdon said.

Granite Falls won the first point on a Prausa ace, but gave away its serve on a hit into the net. Hezel scored a kill — one of two in the fifth set — for the Falcon lead, and South Whidbey ran away to a 15-6 victory. The Tigers lost six points on errors, and the Falcons relied on two kills and a block by Calderwood to seal the match.

“My hitting was just on. I’ve worked as hard as I can in practice and tonight it paid off,” Hezel said.

South Whidbey recovered from a 3-2 loss to Archbishop Murphy on Tuesday in Everett. The five-set tiebreaker Thursday puts the Falcons’ two-week set total at 25.

BY BEN WATANABEStaff reporter

LANGLEY — Maia Sparkman found herself in the right place at the right time.

In the second sudden death overtime period against Sultan on Tuesday, that place was just outside the goal and a little to the right. The South Whidbey junior midfielder chased down a long shot by freshman Kendra Warwick. Turk goalie Julianne Tran moved out of the goal, reached for the ball and had her gloves on it.

But the ball slipped out of her grip as she hit the turf, and Sparkman was there to shoot it into the back of the net for a double overtime Falcon victory, 3-2.

“Usually I’m not the one that goes up for the follows,” Sparkman said. “I knew we didn’t want to go into penalty kicks … It was just a lucky goal, I guess.”

A pair of defensive lapses put the Falcons (2-4-0 Cascade Conference; 2-5-1 overall) in the two sudden deaths.

In the overtime periods, the first team to score wins. On Tuesday night at Waterman

Field, South Whidbey scored the “golden goal” in the final two minutes of the second

period and avoided a shoo-tout.

Sultan (1-6-0 Cascade Conference; 2-7-0 overall) played catch-up almost all 80-minutes of regular time. Falcon senior forward Paige Farmer scored within the first two minutes for a 1-0 lead. The goal was Farmer’s third this year and gave her the most on the team, albeit only for another 15 minutes.

“The goalie came out too soon, and I just kind of toe-punted it in,” Farmer said.

South Whidbey repelled an offensive onslaught by Sultan, which tallied three shots on goal in 10 minutes. A quick transition from defense to offense caught the Turks on their heels. Falcon junior

defender Katie Sibley had pushed past midfield, where she stopped Sultan’s attempt to clear the ball and lofted the ball across the middle. That’s where Falcon sophomore Kiana Murray sprinted past the defender, dribbled the ball to the middle and booted it in for a 2-0 lead in the 19th minute. Murray and Farmer are tied as the Falcons’ lead-ing scorers with three goals each.

“We have a great setup now; we have two forwards,” Murray said. “We’re commu-nicating more now.”

Holding an early lead has been a problem for South Whidbey, which allowed a tying score against Coupeville shortly after leading 1-0. After that match, Falcon head coach Ben Rusch said his team struggled to stay aggres-sive once it scored and led the match.

Such was the case against Sultan.

The Turks pressured the Falcon defenders with a slough of shots. And though several were saved by Falcon senior goalie Ellie Greene, eventually Greene’s dives fell short. A sliding kick by Turk senior Jessica McCann kept the ball away from the Falcon defenders and passed it to Turk junior forward Siera Strauss, who tapped it into the back of the net in the 20th.

“There was some lacking effort, I would say, in the first two halves,” said Falcon head coach Ben Rusch.

There were more opportu-nities for the Falcons in the first half to extend their lead. South Whidbey’s problem was that two goals were called back by the field umpires.

Murray had a breakaway, one-on-one goal called back on an offsides whistle. In the final two minutes of stoppage time, Farmer dribbled between two defenders, drew Tran off the goal line and kicked the ball around her and into the net, but the field ref had blown his whistle to signal the end of the half, voiding the score.

Leading 2-1, the Falcons opened the second half play-ing defensively and it cost them. Turk senior Carley Nelson drilled a one-on-one shot against Greene into the right pole, which bounced the ball back into the net for a 2-2 score in the 65 minute.

Both teams locked down defensively and neither gained an edge before the regular-time whistle sounded. South Whidbey started the first overtime with the ball, but failed to get its offense a quality look after the ball was promptly intercepted on a pass to the sideline. In the second overtime, the Falcons pressured the Turks with a barrage of crosses and shots, until finally Warwick sent one from 20 yards out that hit Tran’s gloves and fell to her side, where Sparkman knocked it in for the win.

“I wanted to score and win the game,” Warwick said. “(Tran) didn’t have very firm hands, so we wanted to hit those hard shots.”

“I’m so happy right now. My day is made.”

On Thursday, South Whidbey crossed the ferry to challenge undefeated Archbishop Murphy (7-0 Cascade Conference; 9-0 over-all). The Wildcats remained perfect after defeating the Falcons 8-0.

Ben Watanabe / The Record

Jazmen Griggs, a sophomore defender for Sultan, gains position for the ball against Falcon senior Paige Farmer. South Whidbey won the double overtime match, 3-2. Falcon junior Madi Boyd waits near the sideline to trap the ball.

Last year, 15 incidents of students caught with drugs or drug paraphernalia were reported.

Most of the cases involved marijuana, though prescrip-tion drugs were also confis-cated. All of those students were offered substance abuse counseling, Moccia said.

In spring, Moccia and South Whidbey High School Principal John Patton met with Island County law enforcement and the prose-cutor’s office to discuss drug use in the schools.

“We’ve done anything but ignore it,” Moccia said. “We were concerned with being able to count on law enforce-ment on that issue.

“He is right, it is a commu-nity issue that involves com-munity concern.”

Drugs in decline, survey says

In Island County, reported frequency of alcohol, ciga-rette and other illegal drug use declined from 2008-2010.

The Healthy Youth Survey, which is administered to sixth, eighth, 10th and 12th grade students every two years, showed that in 2010, one in four 10th graders and one in three 12th graders consumed alcohol in the past 30 days of the survey.

A total of 1,939 surveys were collected.

Alcohol remained the drug of choice among students in sixth, eighth, 10th and 12th grades.

About 4 percent of Island County 12th graders report-ed using “other illegal drugs” within the past 30 days; 1 percent used hyperactiv-ity drugs and 6 percent used prescription pain killers.

Nationally, drug use is higher according to a 2011 Center for Disease Control and Prevention survey. The specificity of its survey is

greater, too, with cocaine, inhalants like glue or aerosol cans, heroin, methamphet-amines, steroids and pre-scription drugs (the highest at 25.6 percent using it with-out a doctor’s prescription) each given its own percent, rather than lumped together as “other drug use.”

French insisted that he did not want to blame the school or parents for a perceived increase in substance abuse.

Rather, he wanted to acknowledge there is a problem, then work with the school board and administra-tion to find a solution.

“… One thing that is clear is we need to find a more effec-tive approach to this issue, be willing to face the brutal facts and accept responsibil-ity for doing something more effective,” French said. “In short, our current trajectory is simply not working.”

Better youth engagement

One of the suggestions to curb youth drug use was to better engage students in school and offer more activi-ties.

French highlighted his support of Falcon athletics and the music program, but noted that other students are missing groups or activities, “that hold and capture their interest and passion, which leads to boredom and apa-thy.”

Despite reading a laundry list of the district’s short-comings — less programs, less teachers, less students

— French was short with a solution.

“I’m not coming to the table with an answer, but I’m coming to the table with an invitation,” French said.

South Whidbey schools have a kindergarten through 12th grade substance abuse prevention curriculum. Teaching students to make healthy, wise decisions, Moccia said, is the main focus. A health course at Langley Middle School is charged with covering drug and alcohol use and its nega-tive health effects.

“It’s not something we’re ignoring,” Moccia said. “It’s not just something we can handle all by ourselves.”

“There’s no one answer to it. Our hope is to prevent

students from making those poor choices to begin with.”

Board Chairman Steve Scoles said he was on pre-vious board committees to evaluate student health and drug use, and admitted that drug and alcohol counseling had been reduced. Scoles asked French if there was something different that could be done for students.

“I haven’t seen anything to get excited about in a long time,” French said.

French and the youth task force will meet some time in October, and encouraged the school board, principals and District Superintendent Jo Moccia to attend. Moccia, Scoles and other board mem-bers said they planned to join the forum.

Bernice Vaughn Liddell

Bernice Vaughn Liddell slipped away quietly at Careage of Whidbey, on Sunday evening surround-ed by family after a short illness. She was almost 91 years old, and leaves behind a legacy of loving kindness, energetic work ethic, a keen sense of humor, and above all, loving family connec-tions.

She loved watching her grandchildren play music, dance, sing, and compete in sports events. She rode a four-wheeler with them on a farm in Othello, her gray hair tied in a bandana from the wind.

She was raised in the farm lands of Colorado County, Texas. Born to Barney William Vaughn and Hattie Kramer Vaughn, she was one of nine children. Her father passed away when she was only thirteen.

She earned a BS degree at University of Houston, which allowed her to teach elementary school for many years. She received a mas-ter’s degree, at University of Wash. She always encour-aged her children and grandchildren to get all the education they could, and read, read, read.

She and her husband, Scott, were married during World War II. They lived their later years surrounded by family in Bellevue, Wash. He preceded her in death after 56 years of marriage.

She loved the Lord Jesus

Christ, quietly walking His path, loving and serving oth-ers as He would.

She is survived by three siblings, Evelyn Jelly, Bea Gustin, Gordon (Willie Lou) Vaughn, and her children Richard (Myrna) Liddell, Pamela Murray, David (Debbie) Liddell, and Laralee (Albert) Davis, with 17 grandchildren, and 53 great grandchildren, plus beloved nieces, nephews and many others.

She endured years of Alzheimers, and was some-how still able to express her gratitude and happiness.

The family expresses their thanks to Careage of Whidbey in Coupeville, for their tender care of Bernice these past few years.

Services will be held at the South Whidbey Ward LDS church, (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) 5425 Maxwelton Rd., Langley, WA : 11 a.m., Saturday, September 29, 2012. Interment will be at Langley-Woodman cem-etery afterwards. Viewing at the LDS church from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. prior.

Indian Point on southwest Whidbey Island will remain forever wild. The Whidbey Camano Land Trust announced Tuesday that it has purchased two different properties totaling 64 acres at Indian Point to ensure it will be pro-tected for generations to come.

“Indian Point is one of the last stretches of wild land left on Whidbey Island,” said Land Trust Executive Director Pat Powell. “It hasn’t been touched in over a century, which is a long time on the island. It has never been developed.”

The new Indian Point Preserve includes 28 acres of upland with more than 2,100 feet of eroding bluffs along Admiralty Inlet and 36 acres of beach boasting a flourish-ing marine intertidal area with eel grass and shellfish beds, according to a release.

“This spectacular waterfront property will remain wild for the benefit of fish, wildlife and people forever,” said Land Trust President Tom Cahill.

The purchase was made possible by a national coast-al grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Washington Department of Ecology, a Conservation Futures Fund grant from Island County, a 60 percent dona-tion of land value from landowners Greg and Ann Lyle and cash donations from individuals.

“The Indian Point property presented a rare opportunity to preserve a fragile and beautiful forested shoreline and bluff,” said Helen Price Johnson, chair of the Board of Island County Commissioners.

As the shoreline’s steep, 200-foot high feeder bluffs erode, they deposit sediment and nutrients into the tide-lands and eelgrass beds below. This sediment drives eco-logical processes for over five miles of shoreline and tidal flats, helps to shape landforms and build the coast’s beach-es while maintaining the habitat required for eelgrass, for-age fish beds, juvenile Chinook salmon and shellfish.

The land above the bluff is home to a rare maple forest and is recognized as a Washington State Natural heritage protection priority. A smattering of old-growth Douglas fir and other native trees provide habitat for a variety of birds, songbirds trilling alongside bald eagles, osprey and peregrine falcons.

Powell said the trust will give occasional guided tours of the Indian Point Preserve while the beach will remain open.

“The property has an extensive sandy beach which a lot of people love to use,” she said. “That will be forever open to the public.”

The end of a driveway in Freeland is an unlikely place for a

shelf of books, but in the shade of the trees at 4500 S. Smugglers Cove Road sits the first Little Free Library on Whidbey Island.

Housed in a glass-fronted, eye-catching purple and green wooden house, a neat row of books waits for new owners. From the historical world of “To Kill a Mockingbird” to the magic of “Harry Potter” and the

current events portrayed in “The Kite Runner,” Mildred Erickson keeps her Little Library stocked with a healthy variety of titles.

At 93 years old, Erickson, a retired high school teach-er, has collected a number of books over her lifetime.

“I need to try to get them into the community in some way and I thought this would be a good way to do that,” Erickson said.

Little Free Library is a worldwide movement encouraging volunteers to set up miniature libraries so people can borrow or trade

books. There are Little Libraries all over the United States, Europe and some in Africa and Asia.

“That’s the point: spread-ing literacy and the love of reading. To help people to remember there are books as wells as Nooks,” Erickson laughed. “I’m not particularly interested in their leaving books. I’m interested in them taking books and passing them along to friends.”

Another goal of Little Free Library is to “put up more (libraries) than Andrew Carnegie did, and we have exceeded that,” Erickson said. There are more than 2,500 Little Libraries around the world.

Since Aug. 18 when Erickson opened her library, 10 or 12 books have disappeared, and she received a few different titles in return. While she might read a Mary Higgins Clark title left in her library, Erickson frowned at the idea of reading the James Patterson novel she found. It’s difficult to compete with her all-time favorite book, “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” She emphasized that readers don’t need to return

or trade books; they are free to the community.

What she does enjoy receiving in return are notes. She displayed a hand-ful of handwritten thank you notes from patrons locally and from Bellevue and Wenatchee.

“I love your idea,” one note read, while another said that the writer is also the steward of a Little Library on the mainland and left a contact number.

“This is my fun. It’s kind of a personal connection,” Erickson said of receiving notes. She has since added a notepad and pencil to her Little Library to encourage further communication.

Getting her Little Library started was simple, Erickson said. Stewards must register at www.littlefreelibrary.org and can download plans for building a library, or get creative on their own. Erickson’s daughter, Barbara Zander, learned about Little Free Library from a friend who created one.

“They thought it would be a good way to distribute some of my books that I’m trying to get rid of,” Erickson said.

Zander’s husband, Tom Zander, an architect, built the Little Library and Barbara, an artist, painted it.

“That’s what the neigh-bors like — the fact that it’s a little spot of color right there,” Erickson said.

Erickson has received a lot of positive feedback since she put up her Little Library. On the day she set it up, her mailman, Sam Wolfe, took five books for himself and his wife.

“I would like to encour-age others to get their books out in front of their houses and let the passing parade take them,” Erickson said. “I’ve been encouraged by what’s happened so far.”

Books of poetry, beloved copies of Ernest Hemingway and treasured novels by Charles Dickens wait in Erickson’s basement for their chance to find new homes through the Little Library.

“This is one of the nicest things I’ve done… That and to ride in a Porsche were the two exciting things to happen to me,” Erickson laughed.

“When Eve upon the first of Men, The apple press’d with specious cant, Oh! What a thousand pities then, That Adam was not Adamant!” –Thomas Hood

And what did Adam say, when asked about biting into that forbidden fruit? Why, he blamed Eve, of course. “The woman whom thou gavest

to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.” (Genesis 3:12)

Adam, couldst thou not have just said, “No, thanks?”

In fact, nowhere does the Bible say that the forbidden fruit Eve gave to Adam was an apple; only that she gave to Adam and he ate of the fruit of the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden. And we all know what happened after that, of course. Or not.

Yes, I’m off on the subject of apples again, but not just Gravensteins now. It’s that time of the year and beautiful apples of every sort are to be found everywhere — farm-ers’ markets, supermarkets, roadside stands and local backyards. We all, I think, have a favorite summertime fruit that we wait for each year and enjoy during its too short season, whatever

it may be. But apples are the comfort food of the fruit world, ripening as we’re losing summer, and stay-ing with us as we head into winter.

Can you stock up on these jewels of the fruit kingdom, storing them for winter use? Yes, if you have a spot where you can keep them very cool (without freezing) with a fair-ly high amount of humidity. (Remember root cellars?) A cold, damp basement would be a good place, although they are becoming almost as scarce as root cellars in today’s homes. The crisper drawer of your fridge is also good, but obviously you can’t conveniently keep a lot of apples there.

If you want apples for cooking later in winter, you can freeze some now, while they’re comparatively less expensive and readily avail-able. Peel, core and slice the apples, put into airtight quart containers and freeze; they

can then be kept for months and will make a fresh-tasting, delicious apple pie, crisp or cake. If you want to preserve their appearance (they’ll brown a bit otherwise), sprinkle the apple slices with a mixture of half a tsp. of ascorbic acid and 2 T. water. Toss gently to distribute the mixture on the slices, then seal containers and freeze. (Or use ½ t. lemon juice mixed with 2 T. water and do the same.) If you have a dehydrator, you can always dry the apple slices to be used in many baked treats in mid-winter.

A few of our many apple varieties that freeze well are Cortland, Granny Smith, Gravenstein, Rome Beauty, Winesap, Macintosh, Pippin and Jonathan. Don’t try freezing with Red Delicious or Yellow Transparent (probably my least favorite apple, except for pie). And crabapples, by the way, also store well in that cool, dark

place and freeze well.Not all apples are created

exactly the same as far as crispness, texture or flavor, but all are a good source of fiber, some potassium and Vitamin A, with only a trace of or no fat, and about 80 calories, depending on type and size.

So, gather ye apples while ye may (with apologies to Robert Herrick and his rosebuds), and let the apples of October comfort you and yours through the long, cold months of winter.

RECIPESNot only did I end up

hearing from three different readers about where I could find Gravensteins, I also had a number of requests for more apple recipes. I have so many, it’s difficult to pick and choose, but I’m more than happy to pass two more along to our readers now, and probably more to come. And I hope any of you who plan to make or did make the caramel apple squares from the first apple column noticed the correction to the recipe in last Saturday’s

column, with the corrected butter amount, ¾ cup butter, not ¼ cup, with my apologies for the typo. Here’s another great recipe that gives you that wonderful apple/cara-mel combo.

CARAMEL APPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

2 apples, peeled, cored and cut into ¼-inch slices

½ lb. caramels (unwrapped, of course)

½ cup plus 1/3 cup apple juice, divided (see instruc-tions)

2 T. butter1 cup flour1 t. baking powder¼ t. salt3 eggs¾ cup sugar1 t. vanilla Arrange apple slices in a

well-greased 9x13 baking dish or pan. In a saucepan, combine the caramels with the ½ cup of apple juice; cook over med. heat until smooth, stirring frequently. Stir in butter, pour the

Be gentle with yourself

People are used to the messages that remind us to “buck up, be respon-sible, be tough.” They may not be so familiar with the reminder to “be gentle with ourselves.”

Rev. Joanna Gabriel will explore the spiritual importance of this softer advice at 10 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 30 at Unity of

Whidbey, 5671 Crawford Road, Langley. Musical inspiration will be pro-vided by Dinah Stinson with support from Tadd CharetteNunn. Quin Serra will be the platform assis-tant. All are welcome. Visit www.unityofwhidbeyisland.org for details.

St. Hubert starts inquiry classes

Classes are now forming

for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults pro-gram at St. Hubert Catholic Church, 803 Third St., Langley.

The people of St. Hubert are Easter people. Come find out how they cel-ebrate Easter all year long. Anyone interested in find-ing out more about being a Catholic Christian should contact the parish office at 221-5383 or [email protected].

UUCWI blesses the animals

The gifts we receive from “the critters” and our deep connection to all life will be playfully and seri-ously honored during the 10 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 30 service at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation

of Whidbey Island, 20103 Highway 525, Freeland.

Anyone is invited to bring the animals who share their lives to the service. But only bring pets that are comfortable with other people and friendly to other animals. For safety, dogs should be on a leash, cats in car-riers, horses, goats and camels should be haltered, as should alligators, etc. Weather permitting, a por-tion of the service time will be out on the lawn.

Children’s religious class-es and child care are avail-able. Go to www.whidbey.com/uucwi for information.

Judgment Day is examined

Pastor Darrel Wenzek’s 10 a.m. message Sunday,

Sept. 30 at South Whidbey Community Church is entitled “The Day of Judgment,” examining II Peter 3:7-13, which says the world will be destroyed by fire.

Adult Bible study begins at 9 a.m. and refreshments will be served.

South Whidbey Community Church is a non-denominational church that meets weekly at Deer Lagoon Grange hall, 5142 Bayview Road, Langley. Call 221-1220 for more information.

Get to know God

If you ever thought you were so far from God it would be impossible to find Him, or if you ever thought God was simply tired of “putting up with you,” then you don’t know the God of the Bible. He desires more than any-thing to have you at his “banquet,” always looking (as we should) to fill the empty chairs.

Pastor Dwight Ford will discuss the parable of the empty chair during the 10:30 a.m. worship service Sunday, Sept. 30 at The Island Church, Sixth and Cascade streets in Langley.

Family hour classes for every age begin at 9:15 a.m. and child care is available for children up to 3 years old. Sunday services are now streamed live and past sermons are available on the church’s Facebook page as well.

Call 360-221-6980 or go to www.langleycma.org for information.

Christian Scientists explore God’s light

Autumn brings a dimin-ishing of sunlight, especial-ly in the Northwest. That makes letting the radiance of Spirit shine in our lives even more significant. The glory of each day bright-ens our relationships, our work and our sense of wholeness.

The Sunday, Sept. 30 service at the Christian Science Society focuses on the light associated with God and the metaphori-cal darkness that would claim to diminish our abil-ity to walk in God’s light. Services begin at 10:30 a.m. The church is located at 15910 Highway 525, Langley. All are wel-come. Call 321-1630 for details.

Quakers hold worship service

Whidbey Island Quakers meet every Sunday from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist building, located at 20103 Highway 525, two miles north of Freeland. Their hour of silent worship together may include spoken meditations or sharing of personal spiritual journeys. For more information, visit www.whidbeyquakers.org or email Toni Grove at [email protected].

Love makes a family

The touring exhibition “Love Makes a Family” will be on display in the fel-lowship hall of the United Methodist Church in Langley from Sunday, Oct. 4 through Sunday, Nov. 4.

The display was created by the Family Diversity Projects of Amherst, Ma., and is a photo-text exhibit presenting portraits of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their families. By allow-ing viewers to come face-to-face with LGBT people, Love Makes a Family makes visible the love and caring in these families, contributing to the process of dismantling the destructive power of prejudice and intolerance, church leaders said.

These proposed ordinances would increase the 2012 levy for taxes collected in 2013. Sum- maries of the proposed Ordinances follow.RCW 84.55 .010 pro- vides that a taxing juris- diction may levy taxes in an amount no more than the limit factor multiplied by the highest levy of the most recent three years plus additional amounts resulting from new construction and improvements to property, newly constructed wind tur- bines, and any increase in the va lue. Under RCW 84.55.005(2)(c), the limit factor for a taxing jur isdiction with a population of 10,000 or over is the lesser of 101 percent or 100 percent p lus in f la t ion .

The proposed increase for the County Current Expense Taxing District C-114-12 is a percent- a g e i n c r e a s e o f 1 % ($76,402) from the previous year’s levy, in addition to any amounts resulting from the addition of new construction and improvements to property, any increase in the value of state assessed property and refunds. The proposed increase fo r the County Road Taxing District C-115-12 is a percentage increase of 1% ($80,170) from the previous year’s levy, in addition to any amounts resulting from the addition of new construction and improvements to property, any increase in the value of state assessed property and refunds.

Special to the Record

The Legion Riders will rev up their bikes this Saturday for a good cause.

The motorcyclists of the American Legion Post 141 in Langley are inviting bikers and the rest of the community to a bike ride, barbecue and music. And the whole party will ben-efit Good Cheer food bank.

Any motorcyclist can participate, said Gay Turner, one of the organizers. People register as they arrive at the post at 14096 State Route 525 in Langley. The riders kick off their stands by 10 a.m. for a 2-hour ride on Whidbey Island.

Upon their return, the public is invited to join them for a barbecue at the post, a motorcycle show — with tro-phies in six categories — and live music.

All money raised will go to Good Cheer and people who bring cans of food will get dis-counts on burgers and other goodies.

“We also have an impres-sive raffle,” Turner said. There will be great prizes and raffle tickets are just $1.

“American Legion came to us and said this is what we would like to do and we will do all the work,” said Kathy McLaughlin McCabe, Good Cheer’s executive director. “There is nothing better than being a beneficiary of a fundraiser and not have to do anything. We are so grateful and appreciative.”

Turner said the Legion Riders were excited to see who will come out for the ride. They have advertised the event with other bike clubs, legion posts and motorcycle shops off-island, and they invited many local riders.

The Legion Riders are a relatively new group. They

formally organized only three months ago, but they have plans to make the ride an annual event, Turner said.

Over the summer the group participated in a number of local and regional motorcycle runs. Turner said riding is about both a shared love of motorcycles and patriotism.

To become a member, riders need an affiliation with the American Legion as a member of the post, the Legion Auxiliary or Sons of the American Legion. Riders need a bike 350 cc’s or better, which must be registered and insured.

Riders need a motorcycle license.

mixture over the apples.Sift together the flour,

baking powder and salt.Beat eggs until light and

fluffy; gradually add sugar, then vanilla, then remaining 1/3 cup apple juice.

Fold in the sifted dry ingredients, 1/3 at a time. Pour the batter over the apple/caramel mixture. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 min. Remove to a rack and allow cake to cool.

Loosen cake around sides with a knife then turn out upside down onto a serving platter. Serve cake topped with a dol-lop of whipped cream or ice cream of choice (but-ter pecan is delicious), or drizzle each piece as served with a bit of Mrs. Richardson’s Butterscotch Caramel Sauce. (Be careful; it’s addictive!)

Apples go so well with so many things, tasty in savory dishes as well as desserts; they’re truly one of our most versatile fruits, as this “perfect for October” sup-per dish proves.

APPLES AND BRATS

1 t. caraway seeds1 t. fennel seeds1 T. Wondra flour (you

probably have some on a shelf in the pantry some-where; it dissolves quickly and is great for sauces and thickening mixtures, such as the juices in this dish)

½ t. ground black pepper4 cups sauerkraut (prefera-

bly the packaged fresh ‘kraut in the cold counter) rinsed, drained and squeezed dry)

1 large onion, halved lengthwise then thinly sliced crosswise

3 large apples (such as Golden Delicious) peeled, cored, thinly sliced

6 whole smoked bratwurst, pierced liberally with a skewer

4 bay leaves1 cup beef broth2 T. dry vermouth2 T. ketchup (or use a

smoky barbecue sauce of choice)

1 ½ T. butter, melted Place caraway and fen-

nel seeds in a small plastic re-sealable bag and crush the seeds with a mallet. Add flour and pepper, shaking to blend mixture. Spread the

sauerkraut over the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish then sprinkle 1/3 of the flour mixture over it. Arrange the onion slices over, sprinkle with half the remaining flour mixture (yes, it’s not much but you don’t need much, remember, fennel and cara-way are strong flavors) and lightly salt.

Spread half the apple slices over onion layer and sprinkle with remaining bit of flour mixture. Place the bratwurst over the apples, then arrange remaining apple slices around the brats. Tuck in the bay leaves.

Mix broth, vermouth and ketchup in a measuring cup; pour the broth mixture even-ly over the dish and cover tightly with foil. Have oven rack positioned in center of the oven and preheated to 400 degrees. Roast the dish for 45 min., then uncover and brush with melted butter. Continue to roast, uncovered, until the edges of the apples and brats begin to brown, about 20 min. lon-ger. Remove from oven and serve. Serves 6.

Note: Serve this with pumpernickel or hearty whole grain bread and hot and spicy mustard. It’ll warm the cockles of your heart, as they say.
