Filter blamed for LMS fire scare Clinton business groups plan for Oktoberfest fall festivalBy BEN WATANABE

South Whidbey Record

Oompah music will blare, brats will sizzle and beer will flow this October in Clinton.

The area’s Chamber of Commerce and the Clinton Progressive Association are meeting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday to begin planning the Clinton Oktoberfest. The fall celebration imitates a German tradition that marks a time for food, drink and dance beyond its origins in Munich, and it could be a welcome boost for the struggling ferry area that has seen businesses close or move.

“It’s early in the process, but I’m hoping we can make it as much fun and get as many people involved as possible,” said Bob Craven, chairman of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, adding that Oktoberfest could “provide a little life to Clinton.”

Several years ago, Clinton held a fall festival. But at some point, Langley began its own October celebration, and Clinton’s ended. Marc Esterly, Langley Chamber of Commerce executive director, canceled Langley’s Oktoberfest last year because the event wasn’t as lucrative as they hoped and did not fit the chamber’s goals.

“It’s just not in our busi-ness plan to do a beer gar-den,” Esterly said.

One of the chief concerns for the Langley fall festival was weather. Come October, some decent days remain but fall’s winds and rains become more prevalent,

Langley leaders seek sand shrimp harvest moratorium

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Langley is seeking to protect one of its natural draws and a major tourism element: gray whale migration.

Sand shrimp, also called ghost shrimp, are at risk by commercial har-vesters, say members of the Langley Shrimp Advisory Committee. Water jets that disrupt tidelands and expose the shrimp leave the grounds altered in such a way, shrimp advocacy members say, that the whales are not visiting Langley as frequently as in years past.

“Whales have a good memory,” said Mayor Fred McCarthy, who

assembled the 17-member commit-tee. “When they come somewhere and there’s no food, they won’t come back next year.”

McCarthy said the city has asked the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, the state agency that manages tidelands and aquat-ics resources, for a two-year mora-torium on sand shrimp harvesting along Saratoga Passage and in front of Langley. He acknowledged that it may impact the commercial harvest-ers —sand shrimp are sold for bait

The students placed

first in the large ensem-ble division against bands from across the United States and Canada.

as outstanding solo work from Jack Hood and Patrick Shive,” said band director Chris Harshman in an email.

Jack Hood received honorable mention in the solo piano category. Mara Bush in the solo saxo-phone category and Mei Mei Hensler in the solo violin category earned high scores with their performances.

The small combo group, including musi-cians Connor Workman, Joe Ballestrasse, Jason Li and Garrett Poteat, was recognized for outstand-ing preparation and response during their clinic.

Students raised money for months before the four-day festival with performances and events such as the Sweetheart Big Band Dance and holi-day poinsettia sale.

An investigation into a Coupeville deputy mar-shal has been turned over to a detective with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, according to Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green.

Hodges Gowdey, a 13-year veteran of the Coupeville Town Marshal’s Office, was charged in Island County Superior Court on Feb. 11 with unlawful imprisonment and witness tampering. The instances are charged as domestic-violence-related crimes.

Police allege that Gowdey, 44, got into a fight in 2007 with his then-girlfriend and handcuffed her on the side of a road; he allegedly later coached her not to tell inves-tigators about the handcuff-ing incident, according to the police report.

Gowdey was released

from jail on the charges after posting a $30,000 bond.

Gowdey’s attorney, Chris Skinner of Oak Harbor, said his client will plead not guilty at his March 3 arraignment.

“We will be aggres-sively defending the case,” Skinner said.

Green said the case was handed over to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office to avoid any potential conflicts of interest.

Detective Brad Pince, who is taking over the case, said he’s looking into new allegations against Gowdey, but he doesn’t know if they will lead to additional charg-es.

The Navy has released an environmental impact state-ment, or EIS, looking at Navy training and testing that occurs throughout the Northwest.

This EIS is not related to the ongoing studies for the P-8A Poseidons, which will be completed in May, or the EA-18G Growlers which start-ed in July.

“We’ve been doing Navy training for some time now and this study helps us to continue that training,” said Lianne Nakahara, Navy Region Northwest public affairs specialist.

A public meeting will be held 5-8 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 26, at Oak Harbor High School during which residents can review documents and dis-plays. There will also be also be a presentation by the Navy

at 6:30 p.m.The EIS document will

be available online as well as in printed form at the Oak Harbor Library.

“It’s a big document so if people want to briefly look through it and ask questions on specific topics, such as marine mammals, pollution or even noise, they can do that,” Nakahara said.

The purpose of the EIS is to determine the environmen-tal impact of the Navy’s mis-sion “to maintain, train and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas,” according to a press release.

That mission is achieved in part by training and testing within the Northwest Training and Testing study area, which also supports the renewal of

federal regulatory permits and authorizations.

The public is invited to com-ment in person at the public meeting, online or by mail at: Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest, Attention Kimberly Kler, NWTT EIS/OEIS Project Manager, 1101 Tautog Circle, Suite 203, Silverdale, WA 98315.

Comments must be post-marked, received online or in person by March 25 for con-sideration in the final EIS.

A 54-year-old South Whidbey man who allegedly tried to bur-glarize the Eagles Aerie was turned in by his own son, accord-ing to court documents.

Prosecutors charged Bjorn

Behncke of Freeland in Island County Superior Court on Feb. 12 with burglary in the second degree, malicious mischief in the third degree and possession of burglary tools.

An attempted break-in at the club on Highway 525 near Langley was reported in the morning of

Feb. 9. Deputy Darren Crownover with the Island County Sheriff’s Office responded.

A security video caught the sus-pect in the act. Crownover wrote in his report that the video shows a middle-aged man with bolt cut-ters walking to the rear door, which is near where the alcohol

was kept.The suspect appears to look at

the camera and then walks away. A short time later, the camera moves.

The door to the club was dam-aged with pry marks and a com-bination lock was cut off a shed, Crownover wrote.

An employee at the Eagles post-ed a video of the suspect online. Behncke’s son called and said that he recognized the suspect as his father, according to the report.

Behncke denied trying to bur-glarize the club and claimed he didn’t know what the deputy was talking about, Crownover wrote.

Student honors, parking agreement

The South Whidbey School District Board of Directors will meet for their regular meeting today, Wednesday, Feb. 26. On the agenda are several moments to honor recent achievements by students and staff, along with a reading of policy changes and a shared parking proposal.

The board will discuss a proposal from City of Langley Community Planning Director Jeff Arango and Port of South Whidbey Finance Director Angi Mozer to establish a pilot project for shared parking at Langley Middle School. The project aims to create a long-term parking agreement between the groups, beginning with a parking usage count for the 2014 boating season.

Seven policies will be reviewed including the highly capable program, student records, student conduct, emergency treatment, student incen-

tives, confidential com-munications and Title 1 parental involvement.

A public comment peri-od will also be available during the meeting. The board will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the community room at South Whidbey Elementary School, 5380 S. Maxwelton Road, Langley.

Two candidates seek port seat

One more name was added to the running for Port of South Whidbey’s District 2 Commissioner, representing Langley.

Dean Enell of Langley submitted his name to the port on Monday, Feb. 24 contesting Langley resident Ed Halloran for the position.

In application materials, Enell cited his experience in project management and web and computer software development for Boeing. Enell has lived on South Whidbey for 24 years and previ-ously ran for a seat in 2008 against former

commissioner Chris Jerome. Enell is currently involved in groups includ-ing the Island County Planning Commission, Conservation Futures Program and Clinton Ferry Advisory Committee, according to his resume.

The commissioners plan to appoint one of the candidates during a spe-cial meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 25.

The commissioners will interview candidates during the meeting and review the qualifications of each candidate dur-ing an executive session. The commissioners will then resume the meeting and appoint a new com-missioner for the posi-tion previously held by Jerome.

The term will continue from the appointment through the next regular port election in Nov. 2015.

The results of the meet-ing were not available at the time of press.

Money set for training, video

Rather than shell out

$20,000 toward tourism promotion in Langley, the city will spend it six ways on economic develop-ment programs.

The Langley City Council heard the mayor’s proposal to change the fund’s intent from tourism contracts to social media training, business devel-opment, a leadership pro-gram, improving search engine marketing and a promotional video about Whidbey Island.

Mayor Fred McCarthy proposed the change, though it was not trans-ferring money to a differ-ent city fund and did not require council approval.

“It doesn’t require any big shifts in money,” McCarthy said.

Of the total $20,000 set aside in the city’s budget for economic develop-ment, $5,000 will go toward producing a video, “Why not Whidbey?” In the city’s document about the discretionary fund, the video is described as promoting Whidbey as a place for “young people and families to consider relocating their busi-nesses and families to the City of Langley.” Another $5,000 would go toward search engine market-ing and coordinating the city, Langley Chamber of Commerce, Langley Main Street Association, I Love Langley and Whidbey Island Wonderment web-sites.

“If we make this cen-tralized site, we have to include everybody,” said Councilwoman Rene Neff, noting that if the city sponsors or hosts the site, it could not exclude any Langley businesses.

No contracts were ever offered by the city from

the $20,000, which was originally planned to be doled out to applicants, so Langley will not be revoking money from any organizations expecting funding.

Street vacation hearing moved

A public hearing on vacating part of First Street to a private prop-erty owner, originally scheduled for Feb. 19, will be pushed back more than a month.

State rules on when a public hearing can be held for vacation of public property kept the city from holding the hear-ing last week. It will be officially announced for April 7 at the city council’s regular meeting March 3.

The resolution before the city council is to aban-don some of First Street near the Dog House Tavern. The portion of First Street that would be vacated is essentially an access road that goes between the tavern and Hladky Park down to Seawall Park.

The iconic building has structural issues with a sag or jog in its floors. Adding to the back of the building will help correct the sag over time. The deck is built on city prop-erty, and Langley Director of Community Planning

Jeff Arango said owners Charlie and Janice Kleiner had concerns they may jeopardize its historic sta-tus if the deck had to be removed.

Should the street vaca-tion go through, Arango said, most visitors to the tavern’s store front, a pop-ular sight for photos, and to the adjoining Hladky and Seawall parks would not realize a change of property ownership occurred.

“Basically, it’s no different,” he said. “Substantively, people wouldn’t notice much of a difference.”

Whatcom health contract continues

The Island County com-missioners approved the continuation of a Healthy Communities contract with Whatcom County at Monday’s regular meet-ing. The counties share a grant of $35,000 from the state Department of Health which provides the funding to assist in imple-menting regional policies to improve nutrition and physical activity in city and county comprehen-sive plans, improve school nutrition and work toward tobacco-free park policies.

County approves new Coupeville marshal contract


There’s a new sheriff in town.

The Island County com-missioners approved a contract Monday that empowers the sheriff ’s office to run the Coupeville Marshal’s Office.

Sgt. Rick Norrie will step in and function as the new Coupeville Marshal on March 1, but under the guidance and budget of the Island County Sheriff’s Department.

Norrie replaces Lance Davenport, who chose to leave the position because union rules would prevent him from keeping the mar-shal’s position with the sheriff’s department. The marshal’s office has strug-gled with the ability to staff patrols because of repeated turn overs.

Under the approved three-year contract, the town will pay roughly $440,000 to the sheriff’s office in 2015 for law enforcement services. The town currently pays $450,000.

“I think the contract speaks for itself,” said Sheriff Mark Brown. “It’s been vetted by both the county commissioners and

the city. It’s a workable plan and is something we’ll mas-sage along the way.”

Under the proposed con-tract, the sheriff’s office will provide the town with two dedicated employees, Norrie and one deputy who will ear Coupeville Marshal’s Office uniforms and drive Coupeville patrol cars. Though the sher-iff will wield the ultimate authority, town leadership will continue to direct law enforcement priorities. Sheriff’s deputies will patrol and answer calls when mar-shals are not on duty.

“It’s a win for the county and the city of Coupeville,” said Commissioner Jill Johnson. “It provides pre-dictable and top notch cov-erage. It’s a good example of how we can improve law enforcement without spend-ing additional tax dollars. The community and the tax-payer are coming out win-ners on this one.”

Is land County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said the contract is a good way to leverage resources to ensure law enforcement needs are met.

“I commend you both for doing that,” Price Johnson said.

Response‘Higher taxes for some’ article not too greatEditor,

The article in the Feb. 19 edition of the South Whidbey Record had an article on “higher taxes for some.”

It was full of opinions, but had no facts to back this up. I believe the legislators and voters decide whether taxes will increase on the other par-cels.

Not only did you report opinion in a very confusing way, later in the article you appeared to suggest that people would get tax breaks by committing fraud, when I think Mary Engle was talking about the regulatory burden.

I hope that more property owners do take advantage of the new law, if

it comes into being, and grow more food on their farms for us to buy at the local grocers and farmers markets.

Neighborhood wanderer apologizes for meanderingEditor,

Dear residents of Passage View Lane, I apologize for the anxiety my wanderings in your neighborhood have caused.

My trying to see the sun setting among the tree branches only exac-erbated the yearning for sunset sight-ings.

The whole idea of wandering around in your neighborhood was caused by my car being laid up for repairs.

My mechanic friend needs to attend to commuting vehicles first, quite obvi-

ously. As Edgar Allen Poe said, “Quoth the

A compromise for Friday county office closures Editor

With regard to the closure to the pub-lic of certain county offices on Fridays and the push to reopen them, maybe there is room for compromise.

If the office staff has found it useful and efficient to close one day a week, move the day to Wednesday.

That way, one need only wait one day, over a Wednesday, or two days over a weekend, not three days as it is now to conduct county business.

Grass isn’t so green in Seattle, King County

Editor’s column

They say the grass is always greener on the other side of the street, but that’s not always so, particularly when it comes to Whidbey Island first responders.

Never is that so clear as with the ongoing debate in Seattle over the interaction between a city police officer and Stranger editor Dominic Holden.

Last year, Holden was bicycling through the city and stopped to take pictures of a group of officers surrounding a single suspect. Holden was told to leave — he was on public property — that taking pictures was a form of harassment to officers, and he was generally treated with derision for doing his job. The altercation escalated when Seattle police officer John Marion asked how Holden would like it if he came to his newspaper and tried to interfere with his work.

A video of the incident was captured and people can decide for themselves whether Holden contributed to the argument, but the general contempt shown to the reporter is disappoint-ing and, frankly, embarrassing for the King County and Seattle police departments.

Quite simply, they could stand to learn something from Island County’s finest, along with other first responders, espe-cially local firefighters.

In seven years of reporting for Whidbey Island newspa-pers — and I’ve worked for them all — I’ve written about car accidents, house fires, plane crashes, environmental disasters, sunken and beached boats; all manner of criminal crises, including hostage situations, bomb threats, car chases, a man-hunt for a double murderer — the list seems to go on and on.

And through them all, I’ve had just two negative encoun-ters. The vast majority of police officers and firefighters are consummate professionals, and have earned my respect. At two recent and separate car accidents, Trooper Chris Merwin and Trooper Norm Larsen didn’t interfere with my job and took the time to respond to my questions with respect and consideration.

Langley Police Chief David Marks similarly demonstrated himself a man of transparency and a credit to the uniform Thursday at an incident at the middle school. Earlier that same day at an unrelated call, South Whidbey Fire/EMS Deputy Chief Jon Beck treated me with kindness and an explanation of the emergency.

Island County Sheriff’s Deputy Chris Garden, Lt. Evan Tingstad, Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Chad Michael, North Whidbey Fire and Rescue Deputy Chief Mike Brown; this is just a short list of the many fine examples of open and friendly first responders that grace Whidbey Island.

They may not always agree with the news or even like the reporter, but their actions over the years have demonstrated their commitment to open government and a respect for the people they serve.

Reports of a fire at Langley Middle School resulted in a facility-wide evacuation Monday.

South Whidbey Fire/EMS crews responded to the 3 p.m. incident and found “heat and smoke” in an upstairs room of the historic two-story brick building, but no flames, according to district officials.

According to South Whidbey Fire/EMS Deputy Chief Jon Beck, the smoke came from an overhead heating unit that hadn’t been used in some time. It malfunctioned shortly after the building occupants turned it on for a tour of the room, he said.

“It pumped out enough smoke to trip two detectors,” Beck added.

The alarms triggered the evacuation of the old school, which is currently used by Whidbey Island Dance Theatre, along with every other school building, said Brian Miller, director of facilities for South Whidbey School District.

“When an alarm goes off, the whole campus is evacuated,” he said.

Classes were already out for the day, but a bas-ketball game was going on in the adjacent gym. The game was called to a halt and everyone was removed to a safe distance while firefighters investigated the scene. Game play resumed at about 3:30 p.m., a school official said.

According to Miller, investigation revealed that a filter had somehow gotten too close to a heater coil, and that was what caused the smoke. He speculated high winds may have been at fault, causing pressure and dislodging the filter, but that it’s impossible to be certain.

“We’ll probably never know for sure,” Miller said.

Beck said heater problems have the potential to escalate into full-blown fires, so the fire depart-ment didn’t take any chances when addressing

the emergency Monday afternoon.Three fire engines responded to the call, along

with 14 firefighters, and firehose was rolled out and readied for action. Water wasn’t needed, however, just shutting off the power. Electricity to the building was cut and the heater immedi-ately ceased smoking.

“We were able to get it to shut it off quick

enough that it didn’t do any [smoke] damage,” Beck said.

“The fire alarms did their job,” he said.The incident resulted in the closure of both

lanes of traffic on Camano Avenue for about one hour. Motorists were diverted to Edgecliff Drive, Decker Avenue and Sandy Point Road.

Fire scare spurs Langley Middle School evacuation

By BETTY FREEMANFor The Record

At 11 p.m. when most peo-ple are asleep, Kelly Baugh is grinding fresh red wheat and starting a large batch of bread.

Baugh bakes her bread at Living Green Bakery & Café on Second Street in Langley. On Sunday and Wednesday nights she makes 40-50 loaves of whole wheat bread for Whidbey Island Nourishes (WIN), a South End program that provides nutritious food for families in need.

Though others have now discovered her delicious bread and new bakery, Baugh said, “What I do for WIN comes from my heart. WIN is my first priority.”

WIN began seven years ago when Clinton resident Mary Fisher and a group of South Whidbey women wanted to provide weekend food for children who got free or reduce-priced lunches at school. They initiated the “Backpack Program” which provides weekend lunches to families that sign up.

WIN sends home family-size bags of food with quali-fied elementary school chil-dren on Thursdays to tide them over for the weekend. The lunches contain meat and cheese or peanut but-ter and jelly sandwiches on whole wheat bread, yogurt, fresh fruit, mixed vegetables, string cheese and trail mix. If there are younger children in the home, WIN provides food for them too.

For teens and others with food insecurity, WIN offers complete lunches at Good Cheer Food Bank in Bayview, and a la carte items in coin-less vending machines at South Whidbey Commons in Langley and Clinton Community Hall.

WIN also provides lunch-es for the Family Resource Center, and nutritious snacks for the HUB, Homework Club, Whidbey Island Academy and the South

Whidbey Children’s Center in Langley.

WIN food is prepared by volunteers who work three days a week in the kitchen of the former South Whidbey Primary School.

In 2013, WIN volunteers made 20,000 sandwiches, up from 16,000 in 2012.

At one of WIN’s fundrais-ers in 2013, Baugh’s whole wheat bread was served with bowls of hearty soup. WIN board member Jerry Stiers thought the bread was wonderful, so he approached Baugh about providing bread for WIN.

“WIN has long had a goal of using locally sourced ingredients in its bread,” said Stiers. “We have been buy-ing bread from Costco, but wanted bread with no preser-vatives or added sugar. Kelly Baugh offered to supply us bread at cost, which makes it affordable for WIN.”

Baugh’s whole wheat loaves have just five ingre-dients: freshly ground red wheat flour, honey, salt, water and yeast. Baugh gets wheat from Coupeville farm-er Georgina Silby and honey from Morningstar Honey Farms in Oak Harbor.

WIN’s mission to pro-vide nutritious food for chil-dren resonates with Baugh because she had to learn to find her own food from an early age.

“If I’d had the kind of com-munity support like WIN offers, it would have changed my whole life for the better. All kids need is one person

to help them believe in them-selves,” said Baugh. “Not having to worry about food every day gives kids hope that they can do better.”

Originally from Chicago, Baugh started working in the food service industry 30 years ago at age 11, mak-ing pizza dough in an Italian restaurant.

By age 18 she was the assistant manager of an A&W restaurant. Baugh also worked for 14 years as a prep cook and assistant baker.

In 2001, she received her associate of arts degree in baking and pastry arts from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, then worked as a baker/manager for Great Harvest Bread Company and later for the Lucky Eagle Casino as baker and pastry chef.

Baugh has lived on Whidbey Island for 11 months. As the new owner of Living Green in Langley, she has transformed the space into a café-bakery and lively gathering place for kids and adults, including her own five children, her son-in-law and two grandchildren.

“South Whidbey has become a place for my family to belong,” said Baugh.

WIN’s standing order for 40-50 loaves of bread each week helps the bakery finan-cially, provides employment for her family, and helps kids who need good food do their best.

“It’s a win-win situation,” said Baugh with a smile.

All three Falcons fail to place in top eight spotsBy BEN WATANABE


Bitterness from a couple of referee calls lingered with South Whidbey's wrestlers and head coach three days after they were made at the state tournament.

None of South Whidbey's three wrestlers in the state 1A wrestling tournament placed in the top eight — podium spots — in their weights at the Tacoma Dome over the weekend. But one lost match left Falcon head coach Jim Thompson seething.

Having fallen to the conso-lation bracket on the first day of the 1A tournament, 145-pound Falcon senior Andy Madsen won a loser-out match only to face an even higher stakes match. Should he win, he finishes no worse than eighth place — a spot on the podium and a medal recipient. Lose, and he's out.

And that crucial contest was decided, Thompson said, by a referee. Madsen was whistled for stalling, a one-point penalty assessed when a wrestler does not engage or attempt to pin the opponent, against Warden junior Emilio Pruneda in the second period. Thompson said he let the first call go without complaint, though he disagreed with it.

“I didn't make a big deal of it, but the kid never really did anything,” Thompson said. “He was on his hips.”

With Madsen still leading, Pruneda scored a takedown. Trying to escape, Madsen dragged them out of bounds. Then came the second stall-ing call, and Thompson took flight in the referee's direc-tion.

“I flew out of the chair,” Thompson said.

“You can't explain how bad the call was without sounding like a whiner. It was just a horrible call.”

Starting in the down position with little time left, Pruneda held on for a 6-5 victory and advanced to the second day of the tourna-ment. Pruneda ended up placing third with two victories Saturday.

“There goes Andy's season,” Thompson said.

Later he added: “It was a hor-rible way to end a season for a kid who worked hard all year and should have placed at state. He deserved to place at state.”

Bad breaks Kyrell Broyles, also a

senior in the 145-pound class, saw a pair of state-ranked opponents in his first two matches. Despite his goal to win at least one match and surpass his older brother's mark at the state wrestling tournament, Broyles lost both bouts. But Broyles' story, according to

his coach, was more than going two-and-out.

“Those results didn't nec-essarily tell the true story,” Thompson said.

In the first-round match, Broyles barely lost to sec-ond-ranked Quincy senior Isias Jimenez, 9-6.

“When that kid came off the mat, he didn't even want to shake our hands,” Thompson said, adding that escaping with a victory took all the graciousness out of Jimenez.

Fighting to stay in the tournament, Broyles took on seventh-ranked Stephen Spading, a senior at Kalama

High School. At one point in the match, Broyles had Spading on his back and tried to get his shoul-ders to

the mat for a pin that would end the match. But Spading fought for nearly 30 seconds, Thompson said, and avoided the fall.

Leading 7-4, Broyles allowed five consecu-tive points on a one-point escape, a two-point reverse and a two-point near fall to Spading, who won 9-7.

Spading won his next two matches, before losing to fourth-place Zillah senior Cristian Francisco, to finish in sixth place.

Fizzle finish Pierce Jackson, a Falcon

junior in his first state tour-nament, lost the opening two matches and was eliminated from the tournament by Friday night.

Jackson had the difficult task of taking on fourth-ranked Chewelah senior Dustin Olson in the first round. Olson pinned Jackson in the first period in 1:25.

The loss pitted Jackson against 10th-ranked Matt MacDonald, a junior at Ilwaco High School. Neither wrestler put up much of a fight, as the match was won by MacDonald on a pair of penalty calls, 2-0. MacDonald lost the following match 2-0 to Forks senior Jake Claussen.

The Granger Spartans won the team title. None of the individual champions was from District 1, the dis-trict South Whidbey belongs to along with schools from the Northwest Conference.

Soccer club starts signups

SportsSportsSportsSour end for South Whidbey wrestling season

Bookish brutes Five South Whidbey High School wrestlers were

named to the state 1A all-scholastic team. To qualify, the wrestler needed a winning overall record, had to reach the district tournament and maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average.

South Whidbey’s all-scholastic wrestlers are Beck Davis, James Itaya, Andy Madsen, Calvin Shimada and Tyler Russell.

South Whidbey wrestling, which was given an all-scholastic team award, will celebrate its season with a banquet Thursday night at the high school.

“You can’t explain how bad the call

was without sounding like a

whiner. It was just a horrible call.”

Jim Thompson Falcon wrestling coach


Oak Harbor resident Rob Rodgers and his family of four had health insurance up through September when he was laid off from his infor-mation technology job. They turned to the Washington Health Plan Finder for cov-erage, now available under the Affordable Care Act, and similarly to national reports he didn’t have much success.

“We tried the website and had a horrible, horrible time,” Rodgers said.

After attending a public meeting on the Affordable Care Act conducted by the Island County Opportunity Council last year, Rodgers and his wife were able to connect with staff and get signed up for one of the low cost health plans through the Health Plan Finder. When Rodgers was laid off from a second job within months, he was able to con-tact the Opportunity Council

and switch their plan to an expanded Medicaid pro-gram. Rodgers said any gap in insurance would have been stressful.

“It’s a relief,” Rodgers said. “My wife is a breast cancer survivor and she has annual check-ups she needs.”

The state’s Health Plan Finder is Washington’s response to the Affordable Care Act, known commonly as Obamacare, a federal law that requires all Americans to have health care coverage. Obamacare includes several provisions that help low-income residents get cover-age for their medical bills.

While the official closure of the open enrollment peri-od is March 31, applicants must qualify for a program or pay their initial premium by March 23 in order to be covered by the deadline.

One of the biggest chang-es is the provision that state Medicaid programs can be extended to a wider demo-graphic. In the state of

Washington, the extended Medicaid program is called Apple Health, which is offered at no cost if the appli-cant or family has low or no income, and now includes dental coverage.

To date, more than 1,800 Island County residents have enrolled in the Apple Health program and hundreds more have found insurance through the Health Plan Finder.

Rodgers said without the new health programs, and the help from local advisors, their health care prospects would have been a “nightmare.”

“It’s been a big help,” Rodgers said.

Not all applications handled by the Opportunity Council have been resolved this quickly.

Oak Harbor resident Shelby Welch, a 22-year-old with a pet-sitting busi-ness, spent months trying to enroll in a health care plan starting in October. Welch said she spent 4-5 hours at a time on the phone trying to get though on the Health Plan Finder’s 800 number. She also was unable to get through to a person at the Opportunity Council because they were initially short-staffed and untrained.

The Opportunity Council originally looked into the new insurance plans as an additional service to add to the council’s many pro-grams, according to Lisa Clark, director of the Island

County Opportunity Council. “We attended an interest

meeting, and then figured out that we were the only ones from Island County who attended,” Clark said.

For that reason, the Opportunity Council sudden-ly became the lead agency on the project and two staff-ers went through a Sept. 17 training session, just a couple of weeks before open enroll-ment began Oct. 1. Tryphena Adams, who was hired in early October, became the

council’s lead in-person assis-ter and has since helped hun-dreds of people through the application process.

In keeping with national reports, Clark and Adams ini-tially experienced numerous errors and system problems, causing delays and requir-ing applicants to reschedule appointments many times.

While she watched her friends get “right in” and complete their applications, Welch seemed to experience every problem imaginable. This included system errors, computer slow-downs and staffing issues.

“This is one of the most frustrating and stressful things,” Welch said. “I’m a story of a glitch.”

After becoming extremely frustrated with the process, Welch went to the council’s

walk-in hours and camped out until she could make an appointment. That’s when she met Adams.

“The only positive thing was Tryphena,” Welch said of Adams.

Welch said despite her frustrating experience, she has seen the state and local agencies improve staffing and problem solving, mak-ing the process increasingly easy. On a recent phone call to the state’s 800 number, Welch said she waited less

than five minutes.

“It’s ten times bet-ter than O c t o b e r t h r o u g h J a n u a r y, ” Welch said.

Based on her income, Welch quali-

fied for Apple Health.

Long time South Whidbey resident Denise Hubert was uninsured the last time she had a medi-cal emergency and ended up paying costly medical bills out of pocket.

So the Affordable Care Act was good news for Hubert. An avid reader, Hubert had picked up bits and pieces from the news about Obamacare, but still had a lot of questions and was unsure how to proceed.

“I was delighted to go to the public meeting,” Hubert said. “When I heard you could get in-person assis-tance, I thought that was even better.”

During an appointment with Adams, Hubert too experienced a series of errors on her application and it took a little work before Hubert was able to view what types of insurance she might be eligible for.

When an Island County resident logs onto the Health Plan Finder, they will have three insurance options if they don’t qualify for Apple Health. These plans are LifeWise, the Group Health Cooperative and Premera

Blue Cross. Each available insurance offers three tiers of coverage — gold, silver and bronze — offering a vari-ety of deductible and pre-mium levels.

Depending on the appli-cant’s income and family size, they may be eligible for tax credits that can be applied to qualified plans.

Based on the information entered into the system, the Health Plan Finder will direct applicants to the areas that apply, including Apple Health and the tax credit program.

Hubert, who describes herself as a patient person, said the delays were under-standable given that it was a new program that the country is figuring out as it goes. Hubert, who works as a contractor for a small firm, was able to qualify for Apple Health.

“It was a little frustrating but it’s not related to any one person,” Hubert said. “And it had a good ending. I’m certainly glad to see it for this country. Healthcare has not been extended to everyone and it does my heart good to see that [change].”

This week, Clark said that the state has worked out a lot of the errors that were initially popping up and that the Opportunity Council, which has since partnered with Whidbey General Hospital, has more staff and is better equipped to deal with difficult cases. While the learning curve has been sharp, feedback from the community has made the process worthwhile. The Opportunity Council has helped more than 600 resi-dents and families through the application.

“It’s been almost over-whelming to see the response from people who have not had health insur-ance before,” Clark said. “The profound relief and excitement … it has been pretty amazing.”

Denise Hubert South Whidbey resident

By RON NEWBERRYWhidbey News Group

When Janelle Castro interviewed for the out-reach manager position at the Whidbey Camano Land Trust last spring, she shared an idea that she thought would be a natural fit for Island County.

Castro got the job and soon put into action her idea of a photo contest that she hoped would appeal to Whidbey and Camano islanders and bring atten-tion to the land trust.

The result was the Whidbey Camano Photo Contest that got under way last month.

Amateur photographers were prompted to sub-mit outdoor photos from Whidbey and Camano islands, with the best 13 images to be selected by a panel then published in the 2015 Whidbey Camano Land Trust calendar.

So far, between 100-200 photos have been submit-ted, Castro said, with no more than five allowed per individual.

Photographers have until May 1 to send in their entries.

“I started a similar proj-ect at a land trust in New York that I worked for and it really took off,” said Castro, referring to the Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust in Watertown, N.Y. “I ran the contest and developed the calendar there for several years. By the last year there, we were receiving

over a thousand photos.”With Whidbey and

Camano islands known for their scenic beauty, trans-ferring that idea to her new home seemed natural.

She’s received images from all over Island County, including shots taken at Deception Pass State Park on North Whidbey and at the Iverson Spit Preserve on Camano.

“There are so many beau-tiful places on Whidbey and Camano,” Castro said, “and that’s why people love it so much. There are so many recreational opportunities. I think living in such a stun-ning place, it’s only natu-ral to capture those spe-cial places and memories. What better way than with a photo contest.”

The Whidbey Camano Land Trust is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. A big part of the land trust’s mission is to pre-serve important natural habitat, scenic vistas and working farms for future generations.

Photos don’t have to be taken on property protect-ed by the Land Trust. Any outdoor image on Whidbey or Camano will do, with or without people in them, Castro said.

The idea is to illustrate the islands’ beauty and uniqueness. Recent photos are encouraged.

Castro has received entries from full-time and summer-time residents and from those who camped or were just passing through.

Most photo entries appear to have been taken by a camera, which Castro recommends as opposed to a phone, because file size is important.

To be considered for a month or cover photo, the photo must be at least 300 dots per inch (dpi). Many smaller images also will appear throughout the cal-endar.

“I’m trying to encourage people to send me the high-est resolution of photos pos-sible,” she said.

Photo submissions may be emailed to Castro at [email protected] All submit-ted photos are subject to unrestricted use for any purpose by the Land Trust, according to contest rules.

To view contest guide-lines or to upload a photo, go to the Whidbey Camano Land Trust website at www.wclt.org and click the “Get Involved” tab.

If you have any questions about the contest, Castro also may be reached at 360-222-3310.

“I’ve received some wild-life photos,” she said. “I absolutely encourage peo-

ple to submit more of any type of photo as long as they’re outdoors. They can have people in there enjoy-ing the land or water. It’s

open to anybody. You don’t have to be a professional. You just have to be excited about the photos you are taking.”

Langley’s 30th annual mystery weekend came to a close Sunday as residents and out-of-towners cracked the case of “The Deadly Deed.”

More than 1,000 people joined fictional detec-tive I.B. Fuzz to solve the murder during Langley Mystery Weekend, a live murder-mystery produced by the Langley Chamber of Commerce. The complex story, by Loretta Martin, wove together 24 characters

as suspects in the murder of fictional Italian citizen Carmelo Geaherdelli.

On the first day, suspicions were scattered amongst the characters as clues were gathered from more than 30 participating businesses.

For Evan Mahnken of Bellevue, the top suspect was one of the 49ers club members. The club claimed ownership of the deceased Geaherdelli’s properties.

Mahnken is no newbie to Langley’s mysteries. This was his sixth year participat-ing in the event with his family.

Mahnken spent some time questioning Geaherdelli’s son, Dino, regarding his whereabouts the night of his father’s murder in front of Good Cheer Thrift Store. The son dodged Mahnken’s questions in front of a grow-ing crowd of passers-by, but revealed to Mahnken he did not know how his father earned his fortune.

The mystery has become a tradition for the family which visits restaurants and the South Whidbey area during the annual mystery weekend.

Kirkland resident Zach

McKenna’s primary suspect was character Max Lawless, who represented a real estate developer interested in Geaherdelli’s assets.

“I don’t know why, he just seems creepy,” Zach explained.

Zach, 12, sought clues from the scene of the crime at Langley Library and tried to make sense of the evi-

dence he saw: a feather, pen, folder and blood.

This was Zach’s third time participating in the event. Zach said he liked how the community came together to solve the mystery. He hoped to solve the crime after being really close last year.

“In fact, I almost got it,” he said.

For his mom, Cerise Vablais, the event was a chance to get together with friends from as far away as Nevada. Together they enjoyed visiting Langley stores as they retrieved clues for the mystery.

Karen Shetler, owner of Mykens Pet Boutique, said having the event and clues located in her store made for a busy two days.

“It’s a great weekend, it’s nice to have this spark dur-ing the winter,” she said.

She added being dog-friendly helps people and pets feel more welcome in the store. Over the years

Shetler said she recognizes people who come back for the event, but more often rec-ognizes the dogs rather than the owners. The boutique has been part of mystery weekend since 2006, with Shetler even playing char-acters.

Rachel McDougald, who played the widow, Mrs. Candace Geaherdelli, has been participating in the event for 20 years with her family. Her first year she was pregnant with her son Sean, who also was part of the event as Geaherdelli’s son, Dino.

In her part, McDougald plays a widow who is upset from the commotion of deal-ing with lawyers surrounding her husband’s death.

One of her favorite parts of the event is the rumors that develop over the weekend.

She said it’s fun to see how the story morphs as the weekend progresses. After people get the clues and have a night to talk over the story-line with others, McDougald said people sometimes come back thinking up “bizarre things and plot twists” that aren’t part of the story.

Last year she remem-bered a rumor began that suggested her character’s favorite food was Jello and a hint in the mystery. But it wasn’t part of the script and people thought it was a clue, she said.

Overall, McDougald enjoyed interacting with people and giving them clues to the storyline.

“I’m just having fun lying to people,” she said.

Hawks, a Whidbey birder with interests in the estate, claimed he got in an argument with Geaherdelli and hit him with binoculars. Geaherdelli then fell and hit his head on a bronze otter sculpture.

Participants determine the culprit at Langley Mystery Weekend

Island County law library officials are asking the county to grant them $3,200 to cover a 2013 deficit and approve an increase in filing fees from $17 to $20.

Librarian Tom Karras has also offered to reduce his hours by five per week, which would reflect a sav-ings of $4,000 per year in the library’s budget.

In previous years, Karras accepted a cut in pay to assist the library.

“It was really the librar-

ian who saved the day,” said Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchi l l , who chairs the Law L i b r a r y board of trustees.

Churchill told the c o u n t y commission-ers during a work session Wednesday that the law library’s budget declined in recent years because of a decrease in the number of filings, and an increase in the number of people ask-ing for fee waivers.

The library has already

cut down on a number of books and resources over the years but has reached

a point w h e r e they don’t feel more should be dropped, Churchill said.

T h e l i b r a r y

would like to retain the Westlaw book collection at a minimum, she said.

State law requires that each county with a popula-tion of 8,000 or more have a county law library. For counties the size of Island County, the required five-

member law library board of trustees consists of the chair of the board of county commissioners, one of the Superior Court judges and three members of the coun-ty Bar Association.

The board of commis-sioners agreed that the measure should move forward to a regular meet-ing, but staff was directed to research how the fee increase might affect other budgets connected with the statute.

The law library is open to the public and the legal community to access mate-rials for legal research.

Legal materials must be used in the library and are

not available for check out by the public due to the small size of the library col-lection. Library staff can assist visitors with locating materials, but cannot give legal advice.

The library also offers three computers that are available for legal research databases.

Churchill mentioned that it has been a number of years since the tech-nology in the library has been updated and the fee increase, coupled with the librarian’s hours decrease, may allow the board of trust-ees to build up a reserve for technology improvements in the future.


GO SHOPPING!Ever notice how you feel good

browsing through a full-service department store? Mannequins are impeccably dressed with the layered look. Belt buckles are polished brass and pants are a perfect, tailored fi t. Colors are coordinated, and everyone in the “group” has a smile as they sit motionless in a casual setting. The price is usually full retail.

Selling a home parallels that department store situation. You can take the discount store approach, offering your home “as-is” at below market prices, or you can merchandise it properly and attract a full retail purchaser.

Merchandising begins with a walk-through of your home to uncover needed repairs and other improvements. Your agent, playing the role of the interested buyer, makes a list of items in need of attention, then asks you to complete them before showing the home to prospects. Merchandising involves more than repairs, though. It sets the stage for buyers, making them feel at home. From fresh fl owers to the dining table set for a king’s banquet, every room in the house is “staged” for maximum buyer appeal.

Your agent will explain details such as proper lighting, furniture arrangement, and the absence of pets. Complete information about the home should be displayed, along with a property profi le buyers can take with them.

Why not merchandise your home when you sell? It can bring ready buyers, eager to pay for the image you create.

“It was really the librarian that saved the day.”

Vickie Churchill, Island County Superior Court judge

The Whidbey Island Writers Association announced the winners of the Celebrate Writing 2014 Contest for Students.

Sixty public, private, and homeschooled students between third and eighth grades submitted fiction, non-fiction/personal story, and poetry entries.

Whidbey writers selected winners Feb. 9 and made comments on each piece submitted by students.

No entries were submit-ted for grade five fiction or grade seven non-fiction/personal story, but Cate Asp and Riley Grace Borden tied for the eighth grade fiction prize, and fifth-grader Brenna Richard earned an award in two separate cat-egories for her grade level. In addition, two sets of sib-lings, Lucia and Francesca Costello, and Brenna and Maura Richard, were prize-winners this year.

— but said there were plenty of other places around Puget Sound to collect sand shrimp where nearby communities don’t depend on whales for tourism.

“Our whole goal is not to stop that whole fishery,” McCarthy said. “We as a city — opening a whale center and Whale Bell Park, hav-ing the whale parade — our whole identity is tied to the

visits by the whales. If we don’t act proactively to main-tain their feeding grounds, we fear there may not be as many coming on their migratory trips and stopping here.”

Attempts to learn the iden-tities of the shrimp harvest-ers from the city were unsuc-cessful.

Langley’s shrimp com-mittee includes whale advo-cacy heavyweights Howard Garrett and Susan Berta, founders of Orca Network, and Fred Lundahl, a busi-

ness owner and founder of the future Langley Whale Center. Garrett said he has not noticed a decline in whale visits, but he said whale visits are not moni-tored — it’s done mainly by whale watching tours and reports to Orca Network.

“It’s pretty much the same each year,” Garrett said. About 10 gray whales migrate through Saratoga Passage every year as early as late January and as late as early March.

Cruising through the sedi-

ment rich waters of Puget Sound, gray whales pre-dominantly feast on sand shrimp which burrow into tidelands. The whales take massive scoops of the silty bottom, then filter out the sand and keep the shrimp. Near Langley, gray whales have been seen close to shore where the shelf drops dramatically. It is a scene immortalized in the main promotional photo of the Langley Whale Center, by Jill Hein, an Orca Network member, of a gray whale spy-

hopping mere yards away from people on the beach near Sandy Point.

“They’re here specifically for a very localized but very dense population of these shrimp,” Garrett said, add-ing that over 50 percent of the gray whale diet through Puget Sound is sand shrimp.

A fight for the sand shrimp beds took a dire turn when one resident informed the committee that stakes were placed around one tideland area known to attract whales. The stakes would keep out the whales, which could not navigate through them or above them. McCarthy said a call was made to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, which told the shrimper to remove the stakes.

“That was the most egre-gious offense we heard of,” McCarthy said.

Langley submitted its moratorium request Feb. 10 and had not heard back from the Department of Natural Resources.

The state’s role in the city’s request was unclear. Commercial sand shrimp harvest permits are issued by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Toni Droscher, a spokeswoman from the Department of Natural Resources, said the agency issues rights of entry to state-owned tidelands that last five years. Only five rights of entry are issued on both sides of Saratoga

Passage, and each entry is between 1,000 linear feet and 2,000 linear feet. DNR is a land manager, which includes state-owned aquatic lands.

“We do have a mandate to allow for certain uses of public benefit,” she said. “We also have to ensure that this resource will exist for future generations.”

It is possible that a pri-vate tideland owner leases their aquatic property to commercial harvesters. However, if the state issued a two-year moratorium on sand shrimp harvesting in Saratoga Passage, that would negate both the right of entry and the commer-cial permit. Langley’s mayor said the aim was not to put the commercial shrimpers — one of whom lives on South Whidbey and one on Camano Island, he said — out of business, but to relo-cate their work.

“We think there’s plenty of other places to harvest these shrimp,” McCarthy said. It might not be as convenient as coming to Langley to get it. But other places aren’t counting on the whales com-ing for a tourist attraction and a city identity.”

The shrimp advisory committee sent a handful of studies on the impact of water jets to sand shrimp beds and gray whales to the Department of Natural Resources to aid its review of the city’s request.

making an outdoor activity like beer drinking, Bavarian music and stein races less enjoyable.

Those are all problems that may seemingly be avoid-ed in Clinton. With the help of the Clinton Progressive Association, the event will center around the Clinton Community Hall, which has a commercial kitchen and ample space for indoor entertainment. Its parking lot may also be converted into an open-air tent beer garden.

“As with any event, you start small and build on it,” Craven said.

“We want it to be a good time for the community and for people to enjoy them-selves. We want it to be for residents of the area, not just visitors.”

Drawing visitors and tour-ists, however, is a driving force for planning Clinton Oktoberfest. Bringing peo-ple to Whidbey Island in the “shoulder” seasons of spring

and fall, Clinton’s chamber chairman said, is a tourism push for the county.

“We don’t have any trou-ble getting people over here in summer,” Craven said.

Clinton hopes to use some of the county’s two percent hotel/motel tax to pay for the two-day party, tentatively planned for the first Friday and Saturday in October.

Ideally, the festival would bring tourists to stay over-night on South Whidbey. Though not a single con-ventional hotel or motel exists in Clinton, Craven name-dropped several rental properties and bed-and-breakfasts in the area. He also hoped visitors would stay in Langley or Freeland.

“We’re happy if people want to stay in Langley as well,” Craven said. “We’re not trying to compete with Langley, we’re trying to do things that are mutually ben-eficial.”

The meeting, though technically a gathering of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce and Clinton Progressive Association, would welcome guests with ideas about Oktoberfest.
