By Michaela Marx WheatleySpecial to the Record

It’s been half a century since a small group of friends from the St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church got together to spread some holiday “good cheer” to their less fortunate neighbors.

A pair of socks, a toy for the kids and a few food items for their families was what this group shared during its inaugural season of 1962. Little did they know that their idea would morph into a self-sustaining, model food bank that grows its own produce and provides food for an average of 864 families each month.

The idea was simple: In 1962, a small group of friends approached the local welfare department for a list of families in need during the holidays. To their surprise they received 120 names of South Whidbey residents — many of them children. A strike at Boeing had contributed to the tough times, but it was also a more rural Whidbey Island.

“People were helping each other back then,” recalled Richard Clyde, who spent most of his life in Langley running a garage and became a board member in the late 1980s. “People helped each other because there wasn’t anybody else around.”

Recognizing the need, the group formalized its efforts by forming the South Whidbey Good Cheer Inc. in 1963. The organization was led by three strong women: President Marian Howe, who had a talent for starting charitable organizations; vice president Ida deArmand; and treasurer Hanna Tommy Double, who ran the Langley thrift store for almost 25 years and remained honorary board president for the remainder of her life.

Good Cheer celebrates 50th birthday

Sometimes, even a polished cast and your best rod just aren’t enough to bring home the fish.

Clinton resident Don Hoffler had them both Monday evening as he sat fishing from a wooden stool, away from the crowd, at a less visited spot at Bush Point on South Whidbey.

He had “Ol Faithful” with him, a rod he made himself decades before. Yellow duct tape now secure the reel to the old cork grip, but Hoffler swore that he and that pole had landed hundreds of fish together over the years.

Coupled with a cast that he had nearly perfected over a lifetime of fishing, a cast he was more than willing to demonstrate to anyone willing to watch — and bend your ear while he’s at it — his odds of a fresh salmon dinner seemed better than most.

Yet he was one of many that day who left for home with an empty cooler, though he doesn’t begrudge it.

“It’s a lovely sunset area even if you don’t catch any fish,” Hoffler laughed.

Salmon season is in full

swing and Whidbey Island beaches and shorelines are regularly peppered with anglers; some fishing from the beach with rubber waders while others buzz the water-ways in boats.

While fishing appeared luke warm at Bush Point on Monday, and at Keystone

this past Friday, this has overall been a pretty solid year, according to Gary Ando, the fishing expert at Ace Hardware in Freeland.

Humpies or pinks, one of the more numerous types of salmon, only run on odd years, which means that even years tend to be rather slow.

While fishermen have to con-tent themselves angling for the more elusive silver and coho salmon, they have done surprisingly well.

“This year has been excep-tional,” Ando said. “It’s quite amazing, actually.”

It was a busy morning Tuesday at South Whidbey elementary school as the kids, including 80 kindergartners, swarmed the school.

Superintendent Jo Moccia was welcom-ing parents and directing traffic in the hallway for the many nervous children fol-lowed by even more nervous parents.

“The school year is off to a terrific start,” Moccia said. “Students and teachers are excited to be back and we look forward to another great year.”

It was the first day of Kindergarten for Branson Bloom. His parents Jacob and Bristol Bloom flanked him on his way to Suzanne Haugen’s class. Mom was beaming proudly, but Branson was just not ready for interviews. After a hug from mom, he still was not ready to talk.

“It’s a big day,” Bristol Bloom said.

By JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

Efforts to release Penn Cove’s most famous orca from captivity has resorted to name calling.

Orca Network, a nonprofit whale advocacy group based in Greenbank, has submitted “Tokitae” to the Washington State Transportation Commission for consideration as a name for one of two new 144-car ferries under construc-tion.

Tokitae is the Coast Salish greeting for “nice day, pretty colors,” and is the original name of Lolita, a Puget Sound orca that has spent more than 40 years living and perform-ing at Miami Seaquarium in Florida.

Howard Garrett, presi-dent of Orca Network, said the name choice is fitting as it honors both an old Native American greeting and orcas, which are an endangered species and the state’s official marine mammal.

“It goes back thousands of years and four decades,” he said. “It honors both long-term and short-term history.

Of course, it’s also meant to cast light on the famous whale herself. She is the last survivor of approximately 45 Southern Resident orcas cap-tured in Washington during the 1960s and 1970s and Orca Network is one of several advocacy groups that believes she should be released into the wild.

“One of our citizens is being held captive as a circus per-former in Miami,” Garrett said. “We’d like to return her.”

Former state Gov. Mike Lowry declared the whale a Washington citizen in 1995 as the start of a campaign to bring the animal back to Puget Sound. Although it has yet to succeed, it’s a fight that contin-ues to this day.

According to Garrett, in

August the Animal Legal Defense Fund and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, commonly known as PETA, jointly filed a lawsuit against U.S. Department of Agriculture.

It alleges that a division of the agency, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, has failed to address issues with the orca’s holding tank, namely issues concern-ing size and shade.

It is the latest in a string of lawsuits and actions waged on

the animal’s behalf over the years. This is also the second attempt to name a new state ferry after the controversial orca.

Deb Lund, a Whidbey Island author of children’s books, submitted the name in 2010 for the second of three new Kwa-di Tabil class fer-ries being built. It lost out to “Salish” and “Kennewick” but it did strike favor with influential elected leaders in Olympia.

“I thought that was a great

name,” said District 10 Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, who is also chairwoman of the Senate Transportation Committee.

“I am still in support of it,” she said.

Haugen is not alone. Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard have also endorsed the name choice, adding their names to an online petition.

As of Monday, it included a total of 857 signatures from people across 40 states and 35 countries. To add your name you name to the petition, visit www.thepetitionsite.com and search for Tokitae.

Although the naming sug-gestion has obvious support, it could be an uphill battle. The transportation commission has a policy of not naming fer-ries after individuals, though it does consider them on a case-by-case basis.

Whether the transportation commission will view Tokitae as an individual or not is any-one’s guess, but the issue is obviously debatable. For example, while former Gov.

Lowry was happy to proclaim the whale a citizen more than a decade ago, others today still see her as just an animal.

“I don’t think an orca is an individual,” Haugen said.

Whatever the case, the transportation commission has set a deadline of Sept. 26. A review and public com-ment period will follow and a decision will be made at the group’s Nov. 13 meeting in Tacoma.

Marina upgrades will begin soon

Planned renovations of the Langley Marina’s boat launch are expected to begin this month and may be done before the end of October, according to Port of South Whidbey officials.

Port commissioners unanimously agreed at a special meeting in Freeland last week to hire Friday Harbor-based Mike Carlson Enterprises to do the work. Port Manager Ed Field said there a few last-minute details, but he said the firm is eager to get started.

“They are planning to charge right ahead and be done as soon as pos-sible,” Field said.

The project calls for the installation of two 25-foot floats, a gangway and a 12-foot concrete pedestrian ramp at the boat launch. The improve-ments were originally part of phase one of the larger $2.4 million plan to redevelop the marina, but boat launch work was moved ahead for permit-ting reasons.

Mike Carlson Enterprises submitted the low bid for the project at $128,000. It was one of six firms to submit bids for the work. All but one came in below a hired engineers estimate of $181,600.

Field and port com-missioners alike wel-comed the low bids and expressed hope that simi-lar savings may be found with phase one, which is beginning to show signs of life with progress in the federal permitting process.

“It’s good work and good news,” Commissioner Curt Gordon said.

“It’s a nice dry run for the big project,” Field agreed.

City seeks civil service applicants

Applicants are being sought for two vacan-cies on the Langley Civil Service Commission.

The three-member group performs duties outlined under state law for the selection, appoint-ment and employment of full-time employees with the Langley Police Department, including the chief of police.

It also promulgates rules and regulations for testing, examination and

appointment along with suspensions and discharg-es of police officers and other related matters.

The commission does not meet regularly but on an as needed basis.

Positions carry a six-year term and applicants are selected by Mayor Larry Kwarsick and confirmed by the Langley City Council. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, have lived inside city limits for three years and be registered voters.

To apply, send a let-ter of interest to Clerk-Treasurer Debbie Mahler, City of Langley, P.O. Box 366, Langley, WA 98260.

Start your (soap box) engines

The “Soup” Box Derby will be back for another round Sept. 15. The sound of gravity-powered cars will return to First Street in downtown Langley that Saturday morning. All racing buffs need to get out their tools to start building their machines for the “Soup” Box Derby. Time to wipe the dust and grime off old racers and return them to their peak performance.

The racing staff and organizers, including

Langley Community Club President Tucker Stevens, want all entrants to get started building their vehicles now. Or, at least start creative thinking about what sort of vehicle they want to slap togeth-er a day or two before the race day.

Here are some simple rules each entrant should keep in mind:

Vehicles must be able to stop in less than 200 feet with brakes and not human feet or hands

Vehicles must be easily steered.

Drivers and riders must wear helmets and shoes.

Vehicles may only be gravity powered going downhill. (This rule doesn’t affect Peter Lawyor, since he needs to get his banana racer back to the starting line.)

If you lose a race or heat, you may ask again to race another racer or friend that beat yours.

There are three catego-ries: children 7 and under; children 8-12 years of age; and 13 to 91 years old.

To emphasize the derby’s non-competitive nature, prizes will go to racers for a variety of rea-sons that have little to do with speed. Awards have been given out in the past for most recyclable entry,

the most edible, the most ecological and also the fastest.

The name of the race-way will be changed from 1st Street to “Zippy Raceway” in honor of Zippy Leonard who spent many years with her family racing her dad’s creations. The track will be lined with hay bales which will have signs of the sponsors of the race.

Entry forms are avail-able at Langley City Hall or the Langley Chamber of Commerce. The dona-tion for each entry is $25. For more information, call Stevens at 221-4188

Burn ban lifted in Island County

Island County residents can once again have open fires. The county-wide burn ban was lifted for all of the unincorporated areas of Island County on Aug. 17.

There are restrictions. Burn piles must be less than 4 feet in diameter, and larger piles require a permit. Anyone inter-ested in burning natural debris must first call the Northwest Clean Air Agency at 1-800-622-4627 ext. 4 and may only burn natural vegetative materials like tree limbs, leaves and grass. Burning driftwood is prohibited under the county’s burn-ing rules, as is burning garbage or paper (except enough to start a fire).

For more information regarding the lifted burn ban or burning restric-tions, call South Whidbey Fire/EMS at 321-1533.

Business climate‘crime scene’ greets visitorsTo the editor:

So, I know that it’s not easy to run a city as large as Langley, and it’s a thankless job; therefore I want to congratulate you on one or two of your recent inspirations. There aren’t that many street corners in town, so it was a stroke of brilliance to tear up four of the principal ones just in time for the Labor Day Weekend. Visitors to town can enjoy the gaily colored Crime Scene tape that surrounds them (apropos, if there’s such a thing as a Crime Against Logic), the spec-tacular orange cones, and the rich brown dirt that they’ve mined there.

The mention of dirt calls to mind another subject. As much as I hear sniveling about how hard it’s been to attract new business-es to downtown, you don’t seem to treat the ones you’ve got very well. Mo’s most recent

iteration of her establishment has been quite successful, and an attraction to the community. Mo might not be the Queen of Diplomacy, but there’s no denying that you are treating her poorly. This latest tactic, the ludicrous lawn caper across the street from her pub, stretches your credibility well beyond rationality. Tossing some grass seed on hard-packed gravel in the middle of August and not watering it; then barricad-ing parking on the entire block, smacks of bull to me. If that’s not messing with Mo, tell me what is.

Keep it up, you knuckleheads! The fun around here never stops. I wish the busi-nesses of Langley a busy and profitable weekend, anyway…

ElectionLauderdale is a keeperTo the editor:

I would like to voice my heartfelt sup-port for Jeff Lauderdale for District One Commissioner, Island County. He is great

citizen, honorable gentleman, and an intel-ligent, well-rounded person.

Jeff’s abilities as a Commander in the United Sates Navy is without reproach. In addition, he has multiple awards from the Navy for his service on nuclear subma-rines. In addition, he has vast experience working with billion dollar budgets, and has commendations to support it.

Jeff has been attending Island County Commissioners meetings weekly for over 2 years. He is well aware of the issues facing citizens. With his education (BS in Mechanical Engineering) he will have a positive influence in helping Island County move forward in planning for our future.

Jeff listens. He listened to citizens of Freeland when we were faced with a $40 million sewer assessment that would have bankrupted many of our elderly and dis-abled. He was a principle contact when we were debunking the faux science and faux engineering we were confronted with in 2011.

Vote for Jeff Lauderdale. He’s a keeper!chELLE BrunkE

The bad and ugly of online comments

A newspaper’s online comment areas, like its letters page in print, ought to be a place for constructive community conversation where people can share opinions about community issues of broad concern, with the goal of fos-tering dialogue and an informed and engaged community.

Unlike with a news story, we do not fact-check online comments posted by readers. We do not have the resources. As a result, readers unfortunately can expect to see inac-curacies, distortion and even outright lies.

Fortunately, the people who read these comments generally are adults who make up their own minds about what they read.

While a few people abuse this forum that is provided – at no charge – by the newspapers here on Whidbey Island, most recognize the value of stating opinions in a way that respects the rights of others to hold views that differ from their own.

Until recently, our newspapers used a system that allowed comments to be posted anonymously, leading at times to an unpleas-ant “barroom brawl” atmosphere that had little positive value to the community.

Our websites now use the social-media website Facebook to manage online com-ments. The change was in response to some anonymous comments that were, at best, inaccurate, and at worst, downright mean and ugly. The idea was that if people were required to use their real names, they would be more likely to be civil and thoughtful.

For the most part, that has worked. Some of the trolls who revel in posting personal attacks on fellow commenters have disap-peared, or at least have reined in their vitriol.

But the change to the Facebook comment management system has brought a whole new set of challenges, with some people complaining that their comments are being “censored” on our websites.

The new system uses filters that check for obscenities and swear words, but those filters have serious shortcomings. For example, while trying to block the word “ass,” “assess,” “asset” and “harass” are flagged.

A newspaper staff person then must log in, read the comment and approve it, resulting in a delay in getting the comment posted.

As a newspaper, and as a business, we reserve the right to manage the content on our websites in a way that we feel encourages an exchange of views and ideas that benefits the community rather than harms it.

BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter

Brad Hankins has spent months in the wilderness.

He crossed one interna-tional border and two state lines. Hankins, a Whidbey Island resident, is in Central Oregon on the Pacific Crest Trail. Today is Day 122 of his journey, and there are a few more weeks left before he will finish his trip.

Back in May, Hankins started at the U.S.-Mexico border. As he trekked the trail, Hankins has hiked hills and climbed rock walls. He ascended peaks, circumnavigated forest fires and met fellow crest walk-ers. Somewhere along the 2,650-mile path from Mexico to Canada, Hankins found a purpose to keep plodding along.

Hankins is raising funds through his sojourn to support the Pacific Crest Trail Association and the American Heart Association. The trail association is a nonprofit whose mission is

to “protect, preserve and promote the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as an internationally significant resource.” And the heart association aims to “build healthier lives, free of car-diovascular diseases and stroke.”

With the help of his mother, Langley resident Fran Abel, he created the website www.heartonthetrail.com, which has a $1 donation

for Hankins to etch hearts, easily wiped away by boots, wind or rain, in the ground along the Pacific Crest Trail. Hankins’ goal is to raise and evenly donate $10,000 — a lot of trail hearts.

“Inspired by the need to improve my physical and mental health, I’ve spent a year hiking, including a heartbreak along the way,” Hankins wrote on the heart onthetrail webpage. “I have

since committed my last three months of hiking to raising money for heart disease (research) and hik-ing trails.”

His health was in a bit of jeopardy in late August. As Hankins made his way through Oregon, forest fires burned along the Pacific Crest Trail and his traveling group was escort-ed through one of the fires. Hankins wrote on Day 113

(Aug. 26) that lightning is the suspected fire starter.

“And we’ve had lots of lightning,” Hankins wrote. “But, given all the signs of inappropriate camping behavior and the general lack of knowledge regarding wilderness camping do’s and don’ts, I have concerns.”

“Lightning or no lightning, both the trail and the hikers would benefit from better outdoor preparation.”

Hiking well-known and lengthy trails is a hobby for Hankins. Earlier this year, Hankins walked New Zealand’s 1,800-mile Te Araroa Trail and finished in April. He had the time only after his architecture firm Design Build Brad went flat as home construction and the housing market dropped.

His journey was far from over. He flew to Mexico and began his conquest of the Pacific Crest Trail. Hankins expects to reach British Columbia by late September or early October, the culmi-nation of nearly 11 months away from Whidbey Island and his home.

Some elements of his home came to him in July. Abel met her son at a few points in California, where she acted as a “trail angel,” leaving cold drinks along the path, picking up trash and taking hikers into towns to resupply.

“I never put together the significance of the word ‘crest,’” Abel said. “They’re really high up.”

In Debra Davies’ first grade class things got underway quickly. Kids were getting to know new desk neighbors.

“I’m a little nervous,” said Shayne Thomas. “But I am excited too.”

After kindergarten last year, Logan Flaherty, is an old pro at this school thing. He was coloring and chatting with friends as he waited for class to start.

“I’m ready!” he said.Down the hall, Hannah

Dowd, a fifth grader, waited in line to ask secretary Gay Bitts a question. Hannah was excited about getting to know her new classmates and said that so far her new teacher and friends seemed very nice.

As the bell rang, it was the parents who had a hard time saying goodbye and then continued to catch up with other parents enjoying the sunshine outside the build-ing.

South Whidbey Elementary School had

540 students registered as of Tuesday morning, Moccia said.

The old tried-and-true Buzz Bomb is still produc-ing and Ando recommends green or pink. But it’s a new lure, however, that’s the real buzz among anglers this year. Made in Sequim and dubbed the Rotator, it seems to be as attractive to fisher-men as it is to salmon.

“It’s almost getting cult-ish,” Ando said. “I can’t keep them in stock.”

Whatever you use, the best time to fish from shore is around high tide, Ando

said. Salmon are always running but they tend to get closest to shore around that time. He suggests new fisherman follow the simple guideline of hitting the beach an hour before until an hour after the high tide.

As always, anglers should consult the state rules for season dates, fish types and catch limits. They can be picked up for free at most stores where fishing supplies are sold or downloaded from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s website at wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/ regulations.

Chelan had a big first quar-ter against South Whidbey in its football season opener.

The Goats scored 15 points on two touchdowns and a safety and were poised to prove they were a rightful 1A title contender.

Then South Whidbey showed its qualities, and they were many. The Falcons scored on their first drive and added three more trips to the end zone in the third quarter for a 28-15 road victory.

“Kids played well,” said Falcon co-head coach Mark Hodson.

South Whidbey traveled by charter bus to Chelan on Friday morning. The trip was planned to be an overnight experience that helped the team bond, Hodson said, and allowed parents and other community members to extend their summer vaca-tions with the Labor Day weekend.

“We had a great trip.”The 170-mile trip was fruit-

ful for the win column, too. The past few years, South Whidbey opened its foot-ball season against a small-er school like Concrete or Friday Harbor before rolling into its eight-team Cascade Conference competition. This year, the 1A Falcons faced the Chelan Goats, who finished in third place in the 2011 1A football state tournament.

Chelan controlled the game early. The Goats scored on their first possession.

South Whidbey answered with its own first-possession scoring drive that resulted in a touchdown catch by junior receiver Kale Reichersamer from junior quarterback Nick French.

“I thought Nick was throw-ing a really nice ball,” Hodson said.

The Goats proved true to their mascot’s nature and held their ground. South Whidbey’s kicking team flubbed the ensuing kickoff

that gave Chelan great field position, Hodson said, and resulted in another touch-down, though without an extra point conversion.

On South Whidbey’s next possession, Chelan forced a safety for a 15-7 lead. Part of the problem, Hodson said, was a reformed offensive line that is tasked with more pass protection this season. When coupled with Chelan’s blitz-heavy defense, South Whidbey needed a little time

to steel itself. “We were able to get every-

body on the same page,” Hodson said.

Those were the last points the Goats would gain. South Whidbey’s swarming defense stifled Chelan and allowed the Falcons to take to the air.

Both teams held pat in the second quarter as they headed into the locker rooms at halftime.

By the end of halftime, South Whidbey had figured

out its assignments and schemes, and Chelan was caught for a loss.

The Falcons came out gunning in the third quarter. After allowing two trips to its end zone, South Whidbey’s defense went to work. Falcon junior Nick Bennett recov-ered a fumble and ran it back for a touchdown.

“We made some good adjustments in the second half,” Hodson said.

“I like how the defense

bounced back in the second half.”

After keeping Chelan in check, South Whidbey’s retooled, quick offense took over. The Falcons marched down field and French con-nected with Reichersamer again for his second receiv-ing touchdown on the night, which was followed with a two-point conversion by Reichersamer.

“I thought that our pass game worked really well,” Hodson said.

With the Goats looking for the Falcons to throw, South Whidbey leaned on its senior running backs Pat Monell and Aaron Curfman. The one-two punch of strength and speed helped South Whidbey extend its time of possession and keep Chelan’s offense off the field and led to a rushing score for Curfman.

The Wenatchee World reported Chelan head coach Darren Talley said his defen-sive line tired as the game wore on because the Goats were short on substitutes.

“I really liked how in the second half we were able to be physical in the run game,” Hodson said.

South Whidbey’s rush offense continued to eat minutes away in the fourth quarter, in which neither team scored. At the end of the game, the Falcons were positioned to try for another score on the Goats’ 5-yard line with less than a minute remaining, but chose to take a knee and let time expire.

Double, a retired social worker, ran the thrift store opening it on Friday after-noons. The store brought in some funds for Good Cheer, but it also served as a help closet for families in need. There wasn’t a food bank yet. But Double would hand out food vouchers.

Min Dexter, who became a volunteer in 1978 after retir-ing from the Star Store, said that the crew at the Star Store sometimes reported that the vouchers weren’t used for nutritional food but for candy and soda pop. Double did not like to hear that, so she started walking clients down to the store.

“You better believe, people started buying good food then,” Dexter said.

Dexter reflected on how much Double would have loved the offerings for clients today at Good Cheer.

“She would have loved the garden, the fresh vegetables,” she said about the garden project that was started in 2009 and provides food bank clients with seasonal fresh foods.

Good Cheer moved into its best-known location on Anthes Street in Langley in 1969. With the move to a larg-er location, an in-house food bank was established to han-dle the increased need and slowly, throughout the 1970s, Good Cheer shifted its focus to feeding people. Howe and Double led Good Cheer for many years. Double was the face of the Langley Thrift Store until nearly 1980, when she reluctantly retired.Growing stages

Joy McClellan was the executive director from 1981-

1996 and she meant business.When she started out, the

thrift store made $50 a day on a good day, donations came in slow, yet the need was great, she recalled. McClellan put her head together with those of other long-time helpers and convinced the board of direc-tors to expand.

“First I was the only paid employee. Then I finally got an assistant,” she said. “Then we talked our board into not renting out the space that Porter Insurance had held and expanded instead. Next, we talked them into building a walk-in freezer. It just kept growing so fast. Upstairs was added in 1992.”

They needed to grow in the early 1980s, she said. Continuing Boeing layoffs affected the community and the population was growing.

The food bank wasn’t by any standard what it is today, McClellan said.

“There were certain things you couldn’t get. We didn’t always have everything. We traded with stores when we needed fresh milk or when somebody had a baby and we needed baby food. Then we’d call around,” McClellan said.

The thrift store also wasn’t bringing in much, said long-time volunteer Marilyn Thomas.

“We never made any more than $20 a day. If we did, it felt like we did something big,” she said.

Dexter agreed.“Boy, if we had $100 then

we had really done some-thing. And if somebody came in with a big donation of items, all the volunteers would hurry to be first in line to sort. We were a long way from the piles that you find at the place in Bayview,” she said, referring to the state-of-the-art distribution center at Good Cheer’s Bayview site.

Dexter and Thomas are also amazed by the newly ren-ovated Langley Thrift Store, which is slated to bring in more than $355,000 annually.

Those early efforts paid forward. McClellan said it still warms her heart that there were so many who gave back once things improved for them.

“There were many people who, when they got back to work, all came back and donated,” she said. “That’s what made us so strong. This is what makes Good Cheer such a good place.”

Today’s executive director had similar experiences.

“We have many clients that are also volunteers,” McLaughlin McCabe said. “One story that is the most memorable to me is when a child left a note on my desk that read ‘Thank you for being here for us. We would be very very down on money

without you. So we want to help you and we will work in the garden!’”

Richard Clyde, who became a board member after his late wife — an avid Good Cheer volunteer — passed away, said the organization grew with the community.

“I saw the need for Good Cheer,” Clyde said. At the time he joined the board, it was a community quickly changing, he said — more focused on tourism and spe-cialty stores and less of the neighbor-helping-neighbors community he had known in earlier years. “It felt like peo-ple helped each other less.”

Clyde also said while many merchants and residents sup-ported Good Cheer, some were critical as the thrift store sold at low prices and the food bank gave away food.

“Some looked down on it. They didn’t have sense to see that people would come back later when they got back to work and spend their dollars in town,” Clyde said.

Looking at the accomplish-ments of recent years, includ-ing moving the food bank to the Bayview site, Clyde said it’s the determination of staff and volunteers that keep the organization thriving.Investing in the future

With so much history behind them, the current team of leaders hope to elimi-nate hunger in the commu-nity within the next 50 years. Since McLaughlin McCabe has taken over in 2002, Good Cheer has made great strides toward this goal.

Additional thrift stores were added, “Good Cheer

Two” in 2002 and “The Rack: in 2007. The Bayview facility was purchased and renovat-ed in 2007 — just in time.

“At our old site in Langley, our food bank served an average of 11 families a day. When we first opened at our new site we were serving an average of 33 families a day,” McLaughlin McCabe said.

This coincided with the Nichols Brothers shut down in 2007; the food bank was ready to support the need when South Whidbey’s num-ber one employer had a mass layoff.

This summer, as the com-munity is still recovering from the recent recession, Good Cheer served more than 60 families a day.

While supporting the com-munity through some tough times, the Langley thrift store was renovated. The com-munity garden bears fresh vegetables and fruit for cli-ents and the food bank itself has the look of a grocery store rather than a food bank with the food point system allowing clients to shop with dignity and more targeted to their need.

“Our community is so blessed that 50 years ago the founders of the local Food Bank named it ‘Good Cheer,’” McLaughlin McCabe said. “The name itself implies optimism, hopefulness, and joyfulness. With the same spirit in which Good Cheer was first created that same spirit continues to thrive and has led us to where we are today.”

Special to the Record

Good Cheer is kicking off its 50th birthday celebration with a party for the whole community. The fourth annual Good Cheer Harvest Party & Music Fest is from 2 to 6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 8, at the Good Cheer Bayview Campus.

The theme of this year’s event is “celebration of the harvest.” The nonprofit orga-nization is inviting the com-munity to enjoy the gardens and celebrate the group’s 50 years of service to South Whidbey. Good Cheer was founded in 1962 and was the first service nonprofit on the South End.

“I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off Good Cheer’s 50th birthday celebration,” said Kathy McLaughlin McCabe, Good Cheer’s executive director.

In celebration of the har-vest, local chefs will prepare delicious dishes, and each recipe will highlight an ingredient picked from a Good Cheer garden.

The Celebration of the Harvest food booths will include Kym Saephan of Whidbey Rice, and Dan Saul, the Soup Man at CMA’s soup kitchen. Bobby Cressman, Good Cheer’s food bank apprentice, will head up a group of Good Cheer volunteers including Sydney Hoffman, Chuck Flannery-Jones and others to showcase new recipes high-lighting the garden harvest.

The Taco Bar will return again this year and soda floats will be for sale. Good Cheer volunteers will receive a ticket for a free drink and

taco.Throughout the event,

cooking demonstrations will show people how to create delicious meals with garden produce.

Local musicians will keep the festival rocking, including Karin Blaine, Pete Keating’s Dandelion Family String Band, Piper Reva and Janie & Joe.

Whidbey Island’s Conductor of Fun, Jim Freeman, will emcee the festivities.

The event will begin just as the Bayview Farmers Market is coming to a close.

“So do some shopping at the market, and then come on over to Good Cheer,” McLaughlin McCabe said.

The day will be filled with

a variety of activities for the whole family. Activities for children include a chil-dren’s story booth hosted by Sno-Isle Library; Garden Art Family Fun with Allie Urbanek, garden apprentice; as well as tile painting, gar-den bingo and Good Cheer Olympics.

A gardening class entitled Growing Groceries will be taught by Good Cheer gar-den volunteer coordinator Cary Peterson, and will start at 1 p.m.

Special guest Ed Hume,

author, gardening personal-ity, and founder of Ed Hume Seeds, will make an appear-ance. The seed company has been a supporter of the Good Cheer garden, provid-ing packets of seeds to help get the garden started, and to share with food bank cli-ents. Hume will be on hand to sign books, including his newest title, “Gardening with Ed Hume: Northwest Gardening Made Easy.”

At 4:15 p.m., guests can get the scoop on worms and learn how to make great ver-micastings.

The 50th Anniversary Dessert Contest is set for 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Create a pie, a cake, cupcakes and cookies and enter it to win. All entries receive a $10 Good Cheer Thrift Store gift certificate, with a grand prize going to the winner.

An auction and raffle will round out the fun.

“Our staff and volunteers worked hard to make this yet another great event for all of South Whidbey,” McLaughlin McCabe said.

Admission is free.For questions or to vol-

unteer, call Shawn Nowlin, Good Cheer’s outreach coor-dinator, at 221-0130.

Raven Rocks features Double Bluff

Raven Rocks Gallery is proud to fea-ture Tom Trimbath’s final installment of his five-year photo essay of the natural environment of Whidbey Island, “Twelve Months at Double Bluff.” The show runs through Oct. 2.

In the artist’s words, “South Whidbey is treated to a pocket of a park that stretch-es out of sight and retreats to nature. Double Bluff’s cliffs form the western wall that borders Useless Bay, a place that may be useless to mariners, but that is very useful for natural, native and current residents … I treat digital photography as if it was film. I don’t crop, colorize, add or subtract … Each photo is a phrase in a paragraph. Every month of images is a paragraph in a 12-month-long chapter. The chapters will be combined into a book that is a story of place.”

Join Trimbath, owners Mary Jo Oxrieder and Windwalker Taibi and the gallery artists for the opening reception during the First Friday Artwalk and Wine Tasting from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7.

Raven Rocks Gallery is located at Greenbank Farm. For information and gallery hours, call 222-0102.

Art, music, wine are at Taste for Wine

The “Cellar Room” at Taste for Wine features three artists through Oct. 1. The show includes photography by Marian Myszkowski, who captures moments in time through the lens of her camera. Not easily categorized, her subject matter is anything that captures her eye. The show will also feature original oils and prints of local scenes in magnificent color, including Admiralty Head Lighthouse and Deception Pass by SR Thomas Jr., and prints of acrylic paintings by George Jennings, a Seattle artist. Jennings com-bines images in an art deco style.

The Sunday Live Music Series, with musicians playing from 3 to 5 p.m. every Sunday afternoon, continues with a per-formance by Alyse Black, a Northwest singer of wide renown on Sept. 9. For more information, call 321-0515.

“Double Bluff Beach,” photo, by Tom Trimbath.

By REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter

Just before its move to a new location, Island Dance hosted a choreographer, dancer and actor who was featured in “Titanic,” toured with Cher and is set to perform for the Queen of England.

Aaron Cash taught a week-long workshop for 15 intermediate to

pre-professional students at Island Dance this month. From Brisbane, Australia, Cash is trained in classical ballet and tap. He created the Cuban dance show Ballet Revolucion, which blends ballet, contemporary and jazz styles, crescendoing to a “very explosive and sensual” frenzy.

“It’s a very powerful expe-rience,” Cash said.

Ballet Revolucion has taken him to London and Germany and he will perform for the Queen of England in November, for which he said he is excited.

After meeting him at a festival in Long Beach, Charlene Brown, co-owner of Island Dance, and Susan Sandri of Whidbey Island Dance Theatre asked him to teach in Langley. This is the first workshop Cash has done for Island Dance, but he has worked with Whidbey Island Dance Theatre in the past.

Cash used his versatile dance background to get the students of Island Dance moving to a variety of styles. He taught them ballet in the mornings, the founda-tion of dance, he said, and expanded to lyrical, jazz, musical theater and more. The workshop culminated in a performance for parents.

“He’s such a unique teacher because of his back-ground,” Brown said. “So it’s always pretty cool that he takes some time to come to us… The knowledge that he can bring to our dancers is always really neat.

“And just the sheer fact that he’s such a great guy… He really connects with the kids. He makes them feel really special, because they’re not all going to be professional dancers but they all love to dance and move,” Brown added.

“I love coming up there

and working with the kids,” Cash said. “They got a taste of a lot of different styles of dance.”

“By the end of the week, I saw confidence and I saw movement skills I hadn’t seen in them,” Brown said. She was pleased that shy dancers were able to feel self-assured, thanks to Cash. “Because of the confidence he gave them, they went out on the floor and moved like I haven’t seen them in a very long time.” He also chal-lenged the pre-professional dancers.

From the workshop, Cash said he hopes the students took away “just a lot of dance and to keep working at it and not get discouraged. At the end of the day, it’s about your love of dance.”

Since age 8, it’s constantly been about love of dance for Cash. When his mom took him to dance classes, at first, he hated it. Then he took part in his first dance con-cert and “I just remember at dance rehearsal, it was like someone turned a switch on me and I could smell the girls’ hairspray and I thought this was what I was going to do for the rest of my life,” Cash said.

And he has done just that. In his youth, he started danc-ing with Clarrissa Hill and was one of the original Tap

Everywhere I go, I see them: the apples of autumn. Three of my neighbors have trees, loaded with ripe and ripening apples, many already falling to the ground, to the delight of the ever-present deer. And along the drive I take from our end of the island to anywhere else,

apple trees dot the wayside, all currently heavy with fruit.

This year, unlike our reluctant tomatoes, apples seem to be thriving, obvi-ously soaking up the sun and making the most of our unusually long, warm, dry spell. I’ve spotted everything from crab apples to Granny Smiths to Golden Delicious, as well as some unknowns, all plentiful, and either ready or close to ready to harvest.

The one apple tree I’ve not yet found anywhere on our island, however, is a Gravenstein, still and for-ever my favorite apple for all-‘round use. One of my beloved grandmothers had a Gravenstein apple tree in her yard, and every year about this time my aunt Betty and I gorged ourselves on those

apples, filling our pockets before we went off to play make-believe in the woods behind Grandma’s house. No other apple tastes quite the same.

My grandmother never wasted food of any kind, and she was not about to let any of those apples lie on the ground to rot. It was up to Betty and me to pick up any fallen apples, every day after school, always with the provision that we could eat as many as we wished. And, because we were smaller, lighter and more agile, we were also recruited to pick the apples at the very top of the tree, where the step ladder didn’t quite reach. It amazes me, now, to recall how easily and nonchalantly we shinnied up that tree,

perched in the uppermost branches, giggling all the while, and plucked those jewels.

The apple pies, apple-sauce, cobblers and melt-ingly delicious apple butter my grandmother made from our gleanings were beyond anything I’ve yet to concoct in my kitchen, no matter which apple variety I’m using, and I’m not exactly a green hand at all of that. I still say, there’s no apple quite like those.

When I inquired of apple growers, some years ago, as to why I could no longer find Gravensteins, I was told that they fell from favor because they were more susceptible to various apple plagues and were replaced, over the years, by more resistant

varieties. I understand, and yes, there are so many gor-geous apples on the market and on the trees now, I shouldn’t complain. All I can say is, I miss the unmistakable crispness, juiciness, and especially the unique flavor of my child-hood apple.

“Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples….” (Song of Solomon 2:5); make that a chilled bottle of Greek Retsina and a plate of freshly picked Gravensteins, if you please.

RECIPESI have so many apple reci-

pes, as I’m sure many of you have, as well; for crisp, cob-bler, pie, cake, dumplings, apple butter, applesauce, etc., so I dug deep into my too fat apple file to come up with two or three a bit different, perhaps something you’ve not tried to do with apples. Here are some possibilities.

There’s nothing that goes quite so well with apples as cheddar cheese (especially on pie), so maybe you’ll find this apple/cheddar salad tempting. It’s certainly a change from Waldorf salad.

APPLE CHEDDAR SALAD

1 T. unsalted butter1 cup pecan halves or

pieces1 T. sugarPinch of salt¼ cup white wine vinegar¼ cup extra virgin olive oil2 t. chopped fresh chives1 T. sugar1 t. kosher saltPinch of cayenne (about

1/8 t.)½ cup heavy cream1 crisp sweet apple, such

as Braeburn, cored and sliced

1 bag salad mix of your choice

Sharp white cheddar cheese, shaved, in an amount to your preference (don’t be stingy)

1. Melt butter along with sugar and salt in a small sauté pan over med. heat; add pecans and toast about 3-4 min. Set aside.

2. To make the vinaigrette, in a bowl, combine the vin-egar, olive oil, chives, sugar, salt and cayenne. Whisk in the cream (do not whip).

3. In a salad bowl, toss together the apple, salad mix; add the sugared pecans and about 1/3 cup of the vin-aigrette, reserving the rest

Dogs. Kenny Ortega, world-renowned choreographer of “Dirty Dancing,” “High School Musical” and more, cast Cash in Cher’s Love Hurts Tour. He thrived and was featured as one of Cher’s lead dancers for 10 years.

He has also starred in TV shows including “24,” “90210” and “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” along with movies like “Titanic.”

Cash said he “of course” plans to come back to Langley.

“I love coming up there,” he said, adding that this was his first experience of Langley in the summertime and it was unforgettable.

The workshop was a nice way for Island Dance to end its time at Ken’s Korner Mall. After moving to the old Langley High School on the corner of Camano Avenue and Edgecliff Drive, the studio opened this week to begin a new season of classes.

After 15 years at the mall, Brown said she was reluctant to move. But when her business partner, Sharla Matthews, heard that the South Whidbey School District was sizing down, “she had her eye on this building,” Brown said.

“We’ve struggled with the amount of rent we’ve been paying,” Brown said. “I love teaching dance and offer-ing dance to all ages and it looked like a way we could stay around a lot longer.” If Island Dance moved, the rent would be considerably cheaper, “a big enough dif-ference to have done this huge transition,” Brown said.

The new studio is 9,000 square feet, which is larger than the previous studio, and the space is in a differ-ent configuration, with large rooms instead of the smaller rooms at Ken’s Korner Mall.

“So we’re working really hard to make this look like a dance studio by the time the kids come in,” Brown said last week.

While Brown said this was a huge move for her emotionally, she’s optimis-tic about the doors it has

opened.“It just seemed that we

could possibly offer more classes and stay in business and keep tuition as it is,” Brown said. Island Dance will partner with the school district to do classes free of charge for students. Home schooled students will take classes during the day and learn three genres of dance, Brown said.

So far, the community’s reaction to Island Dance’s new space has been encour-aging, Brown said.

“They (visitors) are just kind of thrilled seeing the building come back to life and seeing kids in it again… So far, it’s been nothing but positive,” Brown said.

for another use or to add if the salad seems to need more.

4. Garnish the salad gener-ously with the shaved cheddar and serve, or chill until ready to serve. Makes about 10 cups salad.

Is there any better combina-tion than apple and caramel? I doubt it; this recipe is one I adapted from one of my grandmother’s (she didn’t have access to ready made caramel and made her own; I use Mrs. Richardson’s Butterscotch Caramel topping, to which I am addicted). If you have kids, these will be gone within 24 hours.

CARAMEL APPLE SQUARES

¼ cup butter, softened1 cup (packed) brown sugar1 ¼ cups flour, divided (see

instructions)1 cup old-fashioned oats

(don’t use instant)1 t. cinnamon½ t baking soda½ cup finely chopped

pecans3 cups chopped unpeeled

apples¾ cup caramel topping (see

comment above)Vanilla ice cream (or your

preference), for topping, along with additional caramel top-ping, if desired

1. Grease bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking pan. Beat but-ter and brown sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer on med. speed until well mixed. Beat in 1 cup of flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda and pecans until well blended and mixture is crumbly. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan; reserve remaining mixture for topping.

2. Spread apples over the mixture in the pan. Heat the ¾ cup caramel topping and ¼ cup flour to boiling in a saucepan, stirring constantly. Boil about 1 min., stirring constantly, until slightly thick-ened. Drizzle over the apples, sprinkle with remaining crum-bly mixture.

3. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 35 to 45 min., or until top is golden brown. Cool 30 min. before serving. Top with ice cream and addi-tional caramel topping. Makes

16 squares.

For years, I made Waldorf salad every Thanksgiving, because it was expected. Then I discovered what apples mixed with Gorgonzola cheese could do for my life.

GORGONZOLA APPLE SALAD

4 cups unpeeled, diced red apples

2 cups cantaloupe balls (yes, I know it sounds an odd com-bination; just try it)

2 cups sliced celery½ cup sour cream1/3 cup mayonnaise2 oz. (more, if desired)

Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled, (or use blue cheese, if pre-ferred)

Lettuce leaves

1. Combine apples, canta-loupe and celery in a large bowl.

2. Combine sour cream, mayonnaise and Gorgonzola cheese in a small bowl; add to apple mixture and toss lightly. Serve on lettuce leaves on individual salad plates or on a platter lined with lettuce leaves. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Form a PartnershipTrue or false? Once you have

chosen an agent to represent you in the sale of your home, and have signed a listing, you should get out of the way and let the agent fi nd a buyer.

False. Selling a home requires involvement by owners as well as the agent. Sellers are responsible for two areas: 1.) pricing the home fairly with attractive terms, and 2.) providing a home in marketable condition. The agent is responsible for preparing and implementing a marketing plan to attract suitable buyers.

Fair pricing is critical because most buyers comparison shop, eliminating homes priced above market value. The agent can provide details of recent sales in the local market, as well as pricing of similar homes currently for sale. This can be used to arrive at a price that refl ects the value offered by the home.

Offering a home in marketable condition is critical to a successful sale. Buyers expect to purchase a home in excellent condition. By performing a walk-through inspection, the agent can provide sellers with a list of needed improvements. It is up to to sellers to present a positive fi rst impression.

The agent crates an imaginative marketing plan that targets buyers groups most likely to purchase the home. Advertising and promotion attracts their attention. The home is thus positioned to appeal to the widest possible segment of purchasers.

“Giraffe Island Rookery,” oil painting, by Wendy Wees.

Whimsy and color fill Schouten

During September, Rob Schouten Gallery will fea-ture the imaginative paint-ings of Wendy Wees.

“Her colorful and whim-sical oil paintings are an absolute delight,” said gallery owner Victory Schouten. “The paintings in this exhibit cleverly play with the idea of birds and birdhouses in completely original and magical ways.”

Also featured is the

handblown glass art of Robert Adamson and Janis Swalwell, who have pursued their love of handblown glass for more than 40 years. Adamson has served as technical and assistant director at Pilchuck Glass School and founded The Glass Eye Studio in Seattle with Swalwell.

This exhibition will open in conjunction with First Fridays at the Farm Art and Wine Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7. The artists will be in attendance and

all can enjoy the music of the Muse & Eye.

The gallery is located at the Greenbank Farm. For details, call 222-3070.

Landscape, blown glass at Museo

Lisa Snow Lady will be showing new works in acrylic on panel at Museo during September. These works explore landscape and architecture in and around Langley, South Whidbey and the Puget

Sound area. Takuya Tokizawa will exhibit works in blown glass featuring a series of brightly colored blown glass vessels with loose and organic con-tours. The show opens with an artists reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8. The exhibit will run through Sept. 30.

For details, call 221-7737.

Brackenwood has print show

Brackenwood Gallery presents its annual Print Show. The work of renowned print artists will be on display from Sept. 8 through Oct. 1.

Printmaking is an ancient art form going back thou-sands of years. However it wasn’t until the 19th cen-tury that artists were able to produce limited editions. The fine art prints in this show offer a variety of printmaking techniques.

Bridget Fischer said her newest work was inspired by a “profound appre-ciation of nature and land-scape.” Her monotypes, which are one-of-a-kind hand pulled prints, have a painterly quality. Fischer’s work is typically abstract and has a contemporary feel. Dona Reed utilizes a linoleum relief block print-ing technique. Her prints are typically black and white animal motifs.

Buffy Cribbs’ prints are both linocuts and etchings. Thematically, Cribbs’ new prints are illustrations from a literary work she is cur-rently working on. Francy Blumhagen hand colors her relief prints, which feature native birds. Diane Divelbess has two relief prints for this show. Her use

of strong geometric shapes and earthy colors, printed on kozo paper, make these large prints really pop. Briony Morrow Cribbs’ etchings are from her recent MFA show. Briony Cribbs said, “This menag-erie is an exploration of the categories ‘human’ and ‘animal’ and the intersec-tions between the two.”

Bruce Morrow’s prints include etchings, block prints and one dry point print in which he scratched a detailed drawing of the inside of a barn onto the surface of the plate. Morrow hand colors his prints. Michel Tsouris’ etch-ings will be printed on both paper and wax. Tsouris’ theme for this work was “ways of getting home.” As always, her work is full of mysterious details.

For details, call 221-2978.

Industrial glamor is at Artworks

Black and white film photographer John Olsen will be Artworks Gallery’s featured artist for September. His exhibit, “Industrial Glamour,” will be featured at the First Friday reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7. Guitarist Quinn Fitzpatrick will pro-vide live music.

“I am drawn to black and white photography using film and darkroom printing techniques because I feel the results are more expres-sive of my own personal effort,” Olsen said. “I like the demanding authority of a heavy camera, and the final-ity of committing to a piece of film, especially when it’s the last in my bag.”

Over a four-day period at the Deeley Motorcycle Exhibition in Vancouver, Olsen focused on artistic detail work and organic shapes, marveling at the genius of these machine builders. Olsen said he also tracked down other exam-ples at motorcycle shows, as well as searched through garages on Whidbey.

Artworks Gallery is at Greenbank Farm.

Sullivan, Kuehn show in Langley

September’s featured artists at Whidbey Art Gallery are landscape pho-tographer Craig Sullivan and stone sculptor Travis Gerard Kuehn.

September’s Artwalk is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8 with art-ists’ receptions at partici-pating galleries.

Whidbey Art Gallery is located at 220 Second St. in Langley. For details, visit www.whidbeyartists.com.
