Finally, a little relief. More than 20 residents of the Holmes Harbor

Mobile Home Park will pay lower water rates.For years, residents of the Freeland neighborhood

were paying rates based on non-residential uses. And that’s the problem.

“This is not a commercial property. It’s a trailer park,” said 65-year-old resident Gwen Harrell. “Most of the people that live here are retired and live on fixed incomes. We use less water on average.”

Freeland Water and Sewer District commissioners recently approved a resolution to reclassify mobile home parks as residential multi-family properties. Now, base rates and bi-monthly consumption costs will decrease for the 19-unit mobile home park.

The Holmes Harbor Mobile Home Park had been categorized as a commercial property. As such, it was charged one base rate of $62.50. Now, residents will pay a $25 per unit base rate.

Officials said it was a simple fix that was long overdue.

“It only needed that one change,” said District Commissioner Marilynn Abrahamson.

Another change followed the reclassification. Consumption rates will decrease for the mobile home residents, too. Rather than the total usage being charged under one meter, each of the 19 units will be charged based on separate meters.

Previously, the entire mobile park property was assessed as a single unit, and under that category, its consumption exceeded a 1,000-cubic-foot limit. Now that each mobile home will be charged separately, it will likely be well under what is called an equivalent residential unit threshold, and pay a lower consump-tion rate of $1.35 per 100 cubic feet.

Abrahamson estimated the bi-monthly bill will be about $37, a decrease of about $5.

“That is a significant cost-saving to the ratepayer,” Abrahamson said.

Residents’ complaints went nowhere until the water and sewer board changed hands in the November election. After more than two years of complaints, they found a willing listener in the recently-elected Abrahamson.

“We couldn’t get anyone to listen to us before,” Harrell said.

“It was very nice. It was one of those things that she promised.”

Base rates fluctuated across the district. A seven-unit complex paid $62.50 in base rates, while an eight-unit complex paid $125.

A former Langley Middle School stu-dent is in police custody after he made online threats about a staff member.

The student, identified only as a male who was last enrolled in November 2011, threatened a staff member on the online social networking site Facebook. The threat prompted a two-day lockout of South Whidbey School District campuses late last week.

District Superintendent Jo Moccia said she was notified by law enforcement

about comments the former student made about a staff member on Facebook.

“It was a reiteration of a threat made back in the fall,” Moccia said.

The school district’s five campuses were put on perimeter lockout — less urgent than a lockdown — Thursday and Friday. All doors were locked at the school buildings, except the front main doors closest to the main office.

Locking all the doors was a challenge for the middle school, which has seven separate buildings that students use throughout the day.

“In the middle school, it becomes

more difficult because there are more buildings,” Moccia said.

The South Whidbey School District has been reviewing its safety policies and procedures this year. After a few parent notification errors last week, Moccia and administrators will take a closer look at its notification system.

During emergencies, parents are alert-ed by phone and email. An all-call system dials emergency phone numbers parents and guardians provide at the start of the school year until someone answers.

ALREADY? AGAIN?


LANGLEY — Residents on South Whidbey were dis-appointed but begrudgingly dug deep as gas prices broke $4 per gallon this week.

Fuel prices on South Whidbey were well above the state average Tuesday. The average price of a gal-lon of regular gas was $3.87, according to the AAA’s Daily Fuel Gauge Report. That was a 22-cent increase from the statewide average from just a week earlier, and 40 cents higher than a year ago.

Such a spike will affect the way at least a few commuters on the South End get around.

On Tuesday, gas at the Valero on Highway 525 and Langley Road cost $4.05 for a gallon of regular unleaded.

Bill Tulloch, a driver for Good Cheer Food Bank, watched as the price gauge on the pump ticked ever higher while filling the delivery truck. He stopped at $109.

“I understand there’s a refinery down, this and that,” Tulloch said.

“It affects everything. It cer-tainly makes it more difficult to get around. You don’t want to drive very far.”

Tulloch said he drives about 70 miles each day for work, and expects the fuel costs will take a toll on the nonprofit’s budget.

“I don’t know how to cure it,” Tulloch said.

Down toward the Clinton Ferry Terminal, gas costs were highest at the Chevron station. Regular unleaded cost $4.09 a gallon Tuesday morn-ing, with premium unleaded at $4.29.

Higher costs and prox-imity to his home led Don Rodriques to use the Valero station in Langley.

Rodriques, a Langley resi-dent, filled up the tank in his small pickup truck and was

full of questions about why prices were so high.

“There’s no rhyme or rea-son,” he said. “It probably has to do with the refineries. It seems like it’s an excuse to raise prices.”

Gas prices last peaked near the $4 mark for regular on South Whidbey in September 2011. Prices also went above $4 in June 2011, and the previ-ous high above $4 was in sum-mer 2008.

The spaghetti was flowing and bellies went home full at the recent Hearts & Hammers benefit din-ner.

More than 500 people filed down the banquet line for salad, bread and spaghetti at the Feb. 10 dinner.

Susan Anderson Tomic spent her first night assisting the group by serving guests the meatless spaghetti dish.

Kevin Lungren, a longtime supporter of Hearts & Hammers, organized two school clubs — Key Club and Builder Club — to wait tables and clean up after the dinner was over.

Jim Scullin, the organization’s presi-dent, credited the dinner’s success to the program’s longevity.

In its 19th year of serv-ing South Whidbey homes in need of repair or work, the dinner is used to rally support for the all-hands-on-deck work day on May 5, the first Saturday of May.

“Folks really look forward to it,” Scullin said.

Hearts & Hammers of South Whidbey brings together hun-dreds of volunteers annually to help repair and rehabili-tate homes of those who are physically or financially unable to do the work alone. In the spirit of neighbors helping neighbors, homeowners receive labor and materials at no cost thanks to the contributions and support of the larger community.

A strong South Whidbey contingent competed at the Destination Imagination regional competition on Saturday at Lake Stevens High School. Three teams represented South Whidbey Elementary School and Langley Middle School this year. “The ‘Stache” who competed in the “Coming Attractions” challenge are Charlie LeWarne, Taylor Dance, Ari Rohan, Sophia Falso, Elizabeth Donnelly, team coach Heather Dubendorf and Miranda Cassee.

“South Whidbey Mysteries” won first place in the “Assembly Required” challenge and will advance to the state tournament in East Wenatchee on March 31. The Mysteries in front are Elli Dubendorf, Ahnkia Burt, Laura Miller and Josie Nichols, and in back, Russell Daly, Dexter Jokinen and Andrew Tangeman.

The “Super Solar Creators” placed third in their division of the “Solar Stage” challenge. “Super Solar Creators” are, in front, Reilly McVay, Ian O’Brien and Thomas Simms and, in back, Aidan O’Brien, Cooper Ullmann, Savannah Cuneo and Levi Ross.

the mobile home park makes it more equitable, Abrahamson said.

“My intention was to provide some relief to the apparent overcharging to the multi-family units, but it became apparent that they were being charged differ-ently,” she said. “There has been no consistency in the rates whatsoever.”

Not everyone will pay less, however.

Smaller multi-family com-plexes may pay more. A proposed rate worksheet shows a seven-unit com-plex will pay $112.50 more in base rates and $11.50 less in consump-tion, per bill. An eight-unit

complex will pay $75 more per bill in base rates, and $11.50 less in consumption.

The Holmes Harbor Mobile Home Park saw the biggest drop. It paid more than $700 per month in base rates and $390 in usage, and will save about $425 per bill.

“The more units there are, the more impact it has one way or the other,” Abrahamson said.

Inconsistent fees drew the vocal ire of one resident at recent commissioners’ meetings.

Keith Tester, who has lived at the mobile home park for

more than a year, asked offi-cials to cancel their contract with their accounting firm after the rate discrepancies were revealed.

“It’s not just about the rates, it’s about the people formulating the bills. They’ve been making up their own rules,” Tester said. “This is just so grossly mismanaged, all this accounting.”

The water and sewer dis-trict will lose about $3,800 per year in revenue from the rate changes. More than $3,100 of that total is from the Holmes Harbor Mobile Home Court alone.

For the mobile home residents, the rate changes took effect this year for the January-February bill.

For other multi-family unit residents, the district commissioners are con-sidering delaying the rate adjustments to the next bill-ing cycle.

Commissioners are also considering crediting the mobile home residents for the high rates of the past few years.

The next water and sewer district board meeting is March 12.

Some of the calls were garbled, Moccia said, and other attempts to alert some parents failed.

“First thing’s first; we maintain safety,” Moccia said. “Then we want to make sure we notify parents.”

The district has a list of all the failed calls from last week and is reviewing each one. Some are wrong num-bers or email addresses, and others are mistakes within the notification system.

“There are some concerns with that system that we’ll be looking at,” Moccia said. “It’s really important to keep people informed, so that they can make choices as well.”

In different school safety

emergencies, the procedure changes. Moccia said par-ents are allowed to take their students out of school after a notice is sent out. In a crisis, however, the location may not be the school, and relo-cation areas are kept secret to ensure student and staff security.

“Parents are always allowed to come to the school,” Moccia said. “If we’re in an emergency situation, in all likelihood we would relocate the students and have the parents come there.”

“Very few people took their kids out of school,” she added.

Classes resumed normally on Monday.

Fundraiser helps Meals on Wheels

The Bayview Senior Center will host a pan-cake breakfast to benefit Senior Services of Island County’s Meals on Wheels program.

The fundraiser is 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, March 17.

Organizers said the menu includes pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage links, juice, milk, fresh fruit, coffee or tea. Gluten-free pancakes and oat-meal will also be available.

The suggested dona-tion is $7 per person.

There will also be a raf-fle basket sale to benefit the Meals on Wheels pro-gram; tickets are $2 each. Prizes include a chocolate basket, a St. Patrick’s Day basket, a foot spa basket, a wild bird basket and a pancake breakfast basket.

One person hurt in car crash

A three-car crash on Maxwelton Road sent one person to the hospital at

about 9 a.m. Monday. The small pileup hap-

pened near the entrance to South Whidbey Community Park, near South Whidbey High School.

The injured person was not a student, said a South Whidbey Fire/EMS official. All three cars had driven to the side of the road by the time the fire and emergency medical technicians responded, but the damage looked like a rear-end accident.

“It looked like some-body stopped and then they got tail-ended,” said Assistant Fire Chief Paul Busch.

The minor injury was the busiest the fire dis-

trict was all weekend. Despite high wind speeds Saturday, South Whidbey Fire/EMS responded to a couple of calls for downed trees, and only three calls total on Sunday (none were wind-related).

There were no injuries or property damage caused by the wind, Busch said.

Council talks about water rates

The Langley City Council will hold a special workshop meeting next week to talk about water rates.

Water rates were a major issue in last year’s council races, with many

candidates in agreement that the rate structure needed to be changed in a way that encourages conservation. Some claim the current rate structure is unfair because util-ity bills include a large base fee, which makes attempts at water conser-vation meaningless.

The workshop is 3 p.m. Monday, March 5.

City officials said a hear-ing will be held at a later date for public comment on rates.

Deadline nears for proposals

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts in Langley is seeking proposals and script suggestions from directors, artists and com-munity members for its 2012-13 Theatre Series.

WICA is also looking for suggestions of plays that can be presented at the Langley venue. Submit an application at www.wicaonline.com for suggestions of plays, or for new plays, submit a copy of the play, the playwright’s resume, and a self-addressed, stamped envelope if materials are to be returned.

The deadline for

Theatre Series proposals is March 15.

For more information on programs and other events, visit WICA’s web-site or call 221-8268 or 800-638-7631.

HOPE holds volunteer training

HOPE Therapeutic Riding Center will host a two-part volunteer train-ing for its spring quarter next week.

New volunteers are always welcome, and there is no need for horse experience to help stu-dents discover their abili-ties.

The first portion of the training session will be a webinar at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 5, fol-lowed by the hands-on training at 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 6 at the riding cen-ter’s north end location.

New or returning vol-unteers can take the train-ing. Anyone unable to vol-unteer for spring quarter is still welcome to attend the training to prepare for future quarters.

Re: the letter entitled “Let’s not forget about WAIF.”

The Whidbey Animal Guild first contacted Goosefoot, which fundrais-es for WAIF on a regular basis, to see about holding a joint event with WAIF, but the suggestion was declined.

As a result, since Goosefoot is already a major benefactor for WAIF, holding “Fill the Truck” events, and helping WAIF raise money for its new private shelter, the Whidbey Animal Guild opted to organize a similar type event for all the other groups on the island that serve animals or are ani-mal-service based groups. The goal was to raise awareness among the public about the work of others who have also served our community for a long time in very good ways, as well as to recognize emerging groups. Skagit Farmers Supply was kind

enough to agree to allow a similar event to occur.

Unlike WAIF, which brings in somewhere between $800,000 and $1.5 million a year, other groups do not have thrift stores, government contracts, rent free shelter buildings, and access to major grants and elabo-rate fundraisers. Also, WAIF keeps it animal data private (so other rescues have difficulty obtaining data needed for needs assessments for grants). Other worthy groups that have tried to put collection containers next to WAIF’s have been turned away by a number of stores, which is disap-pointing.

WAG is trying to improve the sys-tem for all groups, including WAIF, by urging governments here to adopt the Asilomar Accords. By using this nationally respected system of animal data reporting, all groups including WAIF can get major grants that are not available now.

Currently, Island County has two separate sheltering entities, and three separate animal control entities. Until we all get on the same page in the way statistics get reported, all groups will suffer from a lack of available grant funding.

So WAG is working hard to play

nice with and for everyone. I hope this answers your questions.

Feel free to visit and join WAG to learn more.

Our OpinionDon’t shift the burden

Citizens should be aware of — and opposed to — House Bill 2801 and the provisions that would allow local governments to cease publishing public notices in their local newspapers. The pre-sumed cost savings to local government is in fact false economy — there is a hidden and very dangerous cost. In trying to save money, local governments would curtail access to the legislative process, and ensure that fewer — rather than more — citizens know what their representatives are up to.

The publishing of public notices in newspapers of record dates to 1789, when the first Congress required publication of its bills, orders, resolutions and votes in at least three generally available newspapers. The founders recognized that government should not be the gatekeepers of its own information. So their purpose was to require government to report its actions to citizens in a medium independent of government influence or control: the newspaper.

It was good policy then, and it remains good policy today.Publishing legal notices in a newspaper of record ensures that

decisions related to public debt, ordinances and laws, zoning, taxa-tion and quality of life — all matters of compelling and perpetual public interest — are made with transparency. Legal notices empower the public to get involved in the process. And they con-tribute to a reservoir of archived material in a form that cannot be altered, changed, hacked, hidden or manipulated after the fact. This would simply not be true of notices published exclusively online.

In publishing public notices in newspapers of record, local gov-ernment acknowledges that government itself carries the burden of keeping citizens informed, and that it will not shift that burden to the citizens themselves to go hunting for information.

To that end, the local, general-interest newspaper remains the vehicle with the widest reach to the widest cross-section of the com-munity. And we can prove it.

Sound Publishing, the owner of this newspaper, alone reaches 700,000 Washington households through our print publications. Our colleagues from newspaper organizations around the state maintain commensurately broad distribution within their own com-munities. This is not “theoretical” reach, a “potential” audience that may or may not find its way to notices posted on a government website. This is actual reach, to readers who are active and inter-ested and engaged in the community around them — and most certainly in local government affairs.

Not all citizens have computers, or smartphones, and not all have access to the web. Indeed, there are cost barriers to entry into, and participation in, today’s world of digital communication.

But anyone — everyone — can at any time go down to the public library or the coffee shop, pick up the community newspaper and find out through the public notices what their government is up to. Affordable, egalitarian and very popular, general interest newspa-pers provide precisely what government needs most — a direct and demonstrable conduit to its citizens.

This issue really comes down to a philosophical question: Should government take its information to the people, or should govern-ment make the people come looking for that information, through a maze of agency and departmental websites?

We believe — and we are confident Washington citizens agree — that government at ALL levels has an affirmative obligation to take its information to the people — to make that extra effort, to ensure that public notices are not just “available,” but also widely seen and widely read.

House Bill 2801 flouts that obligation, and it should be rejected. The Legislature had the wisdom to dismiss similar legislation last session, and should demonstrate that same wisdom today.

Letters

This latest surge above $4-a-gallon gasoline has been attributed to the West’s unrest with Iran over nucle-ar armament, and concerns about Europe’s economy and debt crises. Foreign fuel dependency led Rodriques to suggest seeking a differ-ent source of oil, one clos-er to the shores of North America.

“That’s why it’s impor-tant to be more self-suffi-cient,” he said. “If we have reserves, then we need to tap into them.”

“When you’re getting your oil from Iran or Iraq,

that’s not a good place to be.”

There’s no single reason why gas prices have risen here, said Cassie Devaney, spokeswoman for AAA Washington.

“There are two stories. Gas prices right now are being affected for differ-ent reasons at the national level and the state level,” she said.

The price of gas at the pump continues to rise at U.S. gas stations that get fuel from refineries on the West Coast, because the crude oil that is being refined there is currently the most expen-sive oil on the U.S. market.

In general, the continuing geopolitical tensions with Iran are a factor. Any threat of disruption to the supply of oil will make prices in the crude oil market rise, she said.

There’s also continued hope that the international economy is getting stron-ger.

“If that happens, the expectation would be that the global market for crude oil will grow,” Devaney said.

In Washington, another important factor is the Feb. 17 fire at BP’s Cherry Point Refinery.

“That has caused some shorter term supply disrup-tions, which has caused the price of gasoline in Washington state to go up,” she said.

Unfortunately for many, gas prices aren’t expected to crest soon. Devaney said gas prices are expected to continue to rise through the spring.

Across metro areas in Washington, the highest average price Tuesday was reported in Bellingham, where a gallon of regular gas was $4.03.

In the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett area, the aver-age price Tuesday was $3.97, an increase of 23 cents from the week before. The average price of a gallon of regular a year ago was $3.54 in the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett area.

Only six states current-ly have higher gas prices than Washington, accord-ing to the AAA; Oregon, New York, Connecticut, California, Alaska and Hawaii. Hawaii has the high-est average price for a gallon of regular, at $4.31, followed by California, at $4.30.

BY Jessie stenslandWhidbey News-Times

A 39-year-old South Whidbey man who allegedly burglarized a Freeland home was caught green-handed, court documents indicate.

Prosecutors charged Eric Rudd in Island County Superior Court on Feb. 14 with first-degree burglary, theft of a firearm and unlaw-ful possession of a firearm in the second degree.

Rudd’s bail was set at $25,000. If convicted of the charges, he could face up to two years and 10 months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Deputy Darren Crownover with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated the burglary that occurred Feb. 12 at a house on Harbor Sands

Lane. A resident reported that someone entered the home overnight and stole a gun, a collection of old coins and a gold ring.

The homeowner showed the deputy the sink, which had green liquid inside. The man said the green stuff had not been there before the burglary and he didn’t know what it was. Crownover noted in his report that it appeared to be green food dye.

The resident said he sus-pected Rudd, and mentioned a dispute involving money.

Crownover and another deputy went to Rudd’s home at the Freeland Inn. Rudd answered the door, but refused to exit the resi-dence or allow the deputies to come inside. Crownover asked him to show his hands. Rudd brought his

hands forward and the deputy could see that his right hand was stained green, which he wrote was consistent with the food dye in the sink.

The deputies arrested Rudd, who then admitted to the burglary, Crownover wrote. The deputies found the gun and other items inside the room and returned them to the owner.

Crownover later asked Rudd about where the green dye came from, but he said he didn’t know. Rudd said he was drunk when he com-mitted the burglary and does stupid things when he drinks. He said the hom-eowner’s father owes him money.

“Rudd said he did not steal to be mean, it was a stupid joke between friends,” the deputy wrote.

You’re Moving!

You’re moving and you’ll need to sell your home. You’ve mentioned it to your friends, and two of them–both in real estate–have asked to represent you in the marketing of your home. Which one should you choose?

The sale of a home is not a matter of luck or friendship. It is “hard work meeting op-portunity.” Marketing suc-cessfully involves a process, not a single activity. List with the agent who under-stands the process and has a history of making things happen. If that individual also happens to be your friend, you may have a � ne match.

To earn the right to represent you, ask the agent to provide evidence of the price recent buyers have paid for similar homes. Expect the agent to tour your home like a buyer looking for improvements that should be implemented. The agent will teach you to present your home in the most favorable light to excite buyers.

Finally, the agent should have a history of implement-ing successful marketing strategies. Ask about his/her methods and timetable. Once you’ve identi� ed the right agent, make your choice and get started.

Sheriff’s Report

gASCONTINUED FROM A1

What are you planning to do with your extra day today? Something special, I hope. After all, it only comes our way once every four years and somehow it just shouldn’t be another routine, ho-hum day.

How many times during the past year or so have you said or thought to yourself, “Gosh, if only I had an extra day, I could get this done,” or maybe it was, “Boy, I sure could use a few extra hours about now.” Well, today’s the day, thanks to Julius Caesar.

Actually, Julius sort of “borrowed” the concept from the Egyptian calendar, but he was the one who first came up with the notion of adding an extra day from time to time (the Julian cal-endar) and some 1,500 years later, the Gregorian calendar added that extra day every four years, which is what we continue to do today.

From what I’ve read about Leap Year, it apparently all had to do with the time it takes our earth to revolve around the sun and making the calendar line up with that timing. If we didn’t add that one extra day every four years, we’d eventually be off track with the seasons of the year and crop planting and harvesting, and who knows what else might go awry over the space of a few hun-dred years or so. Yes, I know it’s far more complicated than that, but mathematical explanations are too complex (and boring) for this column.

When I was young,

I always felt sorry for kids who were born on Feb. 29, only being able to celebrate their “real” birthday every four years and having to decide whether to have a birthday party on Feb. 28 or March 1.

As I grew older (and older), I thought how lucky those kids were to be able to say, if asked, “Why, I’m only 15, even though you may think I look more like 60.”

Babies born on Leap Day are called leapsters or leap-ers, and are considered by some to have special talents or characteristics. And, according to members of the Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies, (yes, there is such an organization), we should all use Leap Day “to reflect on our lives and do something special.” Such as propose to your sweetie, perhaps?

One of the main traditions associated with Leap Year is role reversal in the romance department.

During Leap Year, and especially on Leap Day, it’s considered acceptable for a woman to propose mar-riage to the man of her choice, or for a young girl to ask a young man out on a date, and tradition has it that should the man say no, he’s in for big time trouble. Having just spent a week in the company of two 16-year-old girls, and an evening with the added company of two boyfriends, I can tell you that particular Leap Year tra-dition has little or no mean-ing for today’s teens.

So, have you decided what to do with your “extra” day? I’d be willing to bet that for most of us, Leap Day is just another day, which happens to fall this year on a Wednesday, and that we’ll do with it pretty much what we’d do with any other Wednesday. That is, unless you’ve been waiting for this opportunity to pop the ques-tion to some special guy.

If so, good luck with that,

and happy Leap Day to all of you.

RECIPESBecause any special day

is reason enough to have a special meal, here are some suggestions for quick and easy but elegant Leap Day treats.

VEAL SAUTÉ½ lb. veal scallops1 ½ T. butter¼ cup chopped shallots½ cup dry white wine1 T. chopped fresh sage

(or 1 t. dried rubbed sage)1 t. Dijon mustardSeason the veal with salt

and pepper. Melt ½ T. of the butter in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add veal and sauté until cooked through and golden, about 1 min. per side or less, depending on thickness of veal. Use tongs to transfer veal to plate.

Add remaining T. of but-ter and shallots to skillet. Reduce heat to med.-low; cook shallots until softened and browned, stirring fre-quently, about 3 min. Whisk in wine, sage and mustard; simmer until sauce thick-ens slightly (about 3 min.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Return veal and any collected juices to skillet; simmer until just heated through (about 1 min.). Transfer veal to plates; spoon sauce over and serve. (Mashed garlic potatoes and a vegetable stir fry would go well with the veal). Serves 2 but is easily doubled.

How about something rich, delicious and different to drink on a chilly Leap Day

evening?

HOT BRANDY CHOCOLATE

4 cups milk4 oz. quality semisweet

chocolate, broken into pieces2 T. sugar5 T. brandy6 T. whipping cream (for

topping)4 T. unsweetened cocoa,

siftedPour milk into a small

pan and bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Put choc-olate in a small pan and add 2 T. of the hot milk. Stir over low heat until the chocolate is melted. Stir chocolate mix-ture back into the hot milk; add sugar. Stir in the brandy and pour into heatproof glasses. Top each with a swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with a dust of sifted cocoa. Serves 4.

Here’s one unusual but delicious dish that will make an outstanding Leap Day supper for any of your favor-ite vegetarians. The ingredi-ents may sound weird, but it’s a very popular winter supper dish in northern Europe and in many pasta restaurants here, especially in the east.

CHOCOLATE NUT PASTA

12 oz. dried tagliatelle or fettucine pasta

1 t. butter (for greasing the baking dish)

6-7 T. fresh white bread-crumbs, divided (see instruc-tions)

Salt, for the pasta waterFor the sauce: 6 T. butter¼ cup confectioners’ sugar

4 eggs, separated¾ cup ground roasted

hazelnuts3 oz. quality semisweet

chocolate, grated½ t. ground cinnamonFinely grated rind of ½

lemonBring a large pan of lightly

salted water to a boil; add pasta and cook for 6 min., or according to pkg. instruc-tions, until tender but still firm to the bite (al dente). Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.

Beat together the butter, half the sugar and egg yolks until frothy. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and remaining sugar until stiff, then fold them into the

butter mixture. In another bowl, mix the hazelnuts, grated chocolate, 4 T. of the breadcrumbs, cinnamon and lemon rind; stir this into the egg mixture. Add the pasta and stir gently to mix.

Grease an ovenproof dish with the teaspoon of butter and sprinkle with remain-ing breadcrumbs (2-3 T.), tapping dish lightly to coat the bottom and sides. Tip out any excess. Spoon the pasta mixture into the dish and bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 25-30 min. Serve immedi-ately, with a tomato salad, a fresh fruit salad, or salad of choice. Serves 4.

Local Artist Series begins at WICA

PATRICIA DUFFSouth Whidbey Record

The colorful carousel of art con-tinues to go merrily around on Whidbey Island.

Once upon a time in Langley the community turned out an arts council. The arts council turned out a center for the arts. The center for the arts built a stage. The Rural Characters band created a fund-raiser on that stage. Funds from that annual foot-stompin’ musical event in turn makes WICA’s Local Artist Series possible.

It is this circle of artistic life that reflects the revolving community of artists on South Whidbey and, this year, the series offers the stage to four local women artists — a dancer, a violinist, a singer and a storyteller — who perform on four consecutive Fridays in March.

The circle continues its orbit.

MOTHER MARTADancer and choreographer

Marta Mulholland presents “Island Rhythms,” a benefit performance at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 2 on the WICA mainstage. Mulholland calls it an entertaining and inspiring evening of rhythms, dance, drum-ming, songs and poetry in honor of Ethiopia and international adoption.

“This is a benefit performance to help bring a child from Ethiopia into our family,” Mulholland said of the event.

“In some ways, adoption is anoth-er world — the process, the travel, other cultural experiences — and yet it’s so intensely familiar to any-one who longs to bring a child into their family. That is what has motivated me to put together this performance — that and my love of the arts,” she said.

Mulholland compared her adop-

tion process to the creation of a performance and the fact that nei-ther would be possible without the support of a community. In adop-tion it is the support of friends and family. In the artistic process, it has been the community of her fellow artists who have made the circle of this benefit for her family’s adoption possible.

Joining Mulholland onstage are Judith Adams, Sommer Albertson, Katrina Collins, Eric Conn, Donita Crosby, Elizabeth Grant, Dyanne Harshman, Leslie Larch, Lars Larson, Dana Moffett, Ron Rossel, Graham Vanderwood, Wade Wilcox, Peter Yanz and Leslie Yingling.

When she started creating the show, Mulholland didn’t realize it would evolve into her feelings about Ethiopia, and adoption.

“But I did want to include ele-ments of Africa, which are found in Sarungano’s songs and stories from Zimbabwe and Wade, Eric and Ron’s world rhythms and dance music,” she said.

Raffle tickets will also be available for a basket packed with Ethiopian treasures. Raffle tickets can be purchased by emailing Mulholland at [email protected], and at WICA during the performance and cost $5 for two or $10 for five tickets. All proceeds from the basket will go toward the Mulholland family’s adoption. Raffle ticket holder need not be present to win.

For more information about the service the family is using for their adoption, visit www.childrens houseinternational.com.

Tickets for “Island Rhythms” are $12 for all seats. Call the box office at 221-6268 or visit www.wicaonline.com.

GLORIOUS GLORIAFifteen-year-old violinist Gloria

Ferry-Brennan continues to wow audiences with her uncanny ability to perform well beyond her years. She graces the WICA mainstage at

7:30 p.m. Friday, March 9.Ferry-Brennan will perform

the program she is preparing for the Johansen International String Competition in Washington, D.C. on March 21. She was one of 12 violin-ists in the 13-17 age group selected to compete in the semifinals of that competition. She will play the entire Beethoven Violin Concerto, Poulenc Violin and Piano Sonata, Bach’s Partita No. 3, Szymanowski Nocturne and Tarantella, and a new work commissioned for the com-petition.

“I hope to share my love of music with the WICA audience,” said the modest young artist.

She also said the audience can

expect to experience a range of moods with this program, from soothing to edgy to dramatic.

This past Sunday, Ferry-Brennan performed the first movement of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto at Benaroya Hall in Seattle with the Seattle Youth Symphony and then was off to Maine later that day where she will play on National Public Radio’s “From the Top.” The prestigious NPR program features talented musical students from around the country, for which per-formers receive monetary awards for up to $10,000 to help offset the often-prohibitively expensive costs of studying classical music at a high level. Her performance will be

broadcast on NPR later in March. Check it out at www.fromthetop.org.

Admission for Ferry-Brennan’s performance at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts is by donation.

MODERN KARINIndie folk singer-songwriter

Karin Blaine will sing a solo concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 16 on WICA’s mainstage.

“I describe my live performances as a ‘Liza-Minelli-meets-Bob-Dylan-meets-Dick Cavett’ kind of experi-ence,” Blaine said, describing her-self as part diva, part poet, and part smart aleck.

Blaine is celebrating the release of her new recording, “Modern Day Living,” and will feature songs from her new project which will be on sale at the performance.

“We’re all craving connection with others and with ourselves,” Blaine said.

“My live performances and origi-nal songs are my attempt to satisfy this modern day ‘jones.’”

Blaine made the record at Sound Trap Studios in Freeland with sound artist extraordinaire Robbie Cribbs. A seasoned performer, Blaine has performed at Seattle’s Bumbershoot, the Northwest Folklife Festival, Seattle’s Out-To-Lunch Concert Series, the Woodland Park Zoo con-certs, and at ClubPassim in Boston and the Crypt in New York, NY.

With one voice and one guitar, Blaine said she sifts through the infinity of human experience and delivers emotional connection in her songs that hook up listeners with

with the puzzles, pain and the beauty of being human.

“Live performance is the most creative thing I do as an artist,” Blaine said.

“It’s kind of like a jazz solo between me and the audi-ence — an exchange; imme-diate, real, maybe even risky; never ever to happen again in the same way.”

JILL AND REBECCAStoryteller Jill Johnson tells

the story of Rebecca Ebey in her premiere performance of “Rebecca,” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 23 on WICA’s mainstage.

Johnson stumbled across the diary of Rebecca Ebey at the Island County Historical Society Museum in Coupeville. After three years of gathering the story of Rebecca’s journey from Missouri to what was then called the Oregon Territory

during the Great Migration of 1851, she has created a full-length theatrical production made vivid through the voices of the people met by Rebecca and her family along the way. The show includes authentic Oregon Trail music, chore-ography, photographs, sound effects and lighting.

“The production has been fueled by my growing excite-ment at the power of this story,” Johnson said.

Johnson said the story revolves around Rebecca Ebey, her husband Isaac and their two young sons who all

settled on Ebey’s Landing in Coupeville in 1852.

“I’ve read lots of pioneer

journals, but this one is unique. It reveals so much about Rebecca and the early

settlement of Whidbey.” A grant from the National

Storytelling Network helped Johnson complete her research at the Special Collections Library at the University of Washington into the correspondence between the Davis and Ebey families. In September 2011, Johnson wrote:

I can see it now … the land. It stretches out — bands of green, yellow, and black: squash fields, hay stubble, and black earth, ringed by forest and shore. For centuries Native Americans gathered camas root and nettles on this prairie and then burned it… year after year, layer after layer of ash, rich in nutrients, which became the farms and fields of Ebey’s Landing. I stroll down the road, munching apples from a tree near the Ferry House. The wind whistles in my ear and I can hear the surf

sounds below. Rebecca heard those same sounds; yesterday was the 158th anniversary of her death. Now … for just a moment … it is almost as if we share this landscape together.

Although the production is a one-woman show, Johnson said it would not have been possible without the many people who helped her to bring Rebecca Ebey’s story to life and to whom she is eternally grateful.

“I hope the audience will grow to like and respect Rebecca as much as I do and come away with new ideas about what it meant to be a pioneer settler on Whidbey Island,” Johnson said.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for youths, seniors and military. Call the WICA box office at 221-8268 or 800-638-7631 for tickets or visit www.wicaonline.com.
