It looked like they were battling a giant python, but in fact Pete Seybert and Paul Nettleton were only grap-pling with a wattle.

One definition of a wattle has to do with a turkey’s neck, which seemed appro-priate for the season. But in this case the wattle is a long, straw-stuffed creation 8 inches around and 25 feet in length that is meant to

protect a working site. With a dike roughly 800 feet in length, there were a lot of wattles to readjust.

“It did its job quite well,” Seybert said. The wattle pro-tected the dike from erosion while capturing sea flotsam to strengthen it further.

At the time early Tuesday afternoon, the skies were blue but Seybert knew that was a trick of nature. “It’s a sucker hole,” he said of the sun, explaining it was shin-ing just long enough to draw

workers outside before the rain hit again.

South Whidbey was drenched by approximately 2 inches of rain late Sunday and Monday, according to the National Weather Service. The downpour finally let up but light showers were com-mon Tuesday.

FREELAND — Ferry rid-ers from Whidbey Island are furious over cancelled sail-ings, the most recent caused by a sleeping captain.

Three high-profile murder cases are scheduled to be held in Island County Superior Court during the first three months of 2013.

Joshua D. Lambert, a 31-year-old homeless Oak Harbor resi-dent, succeeded in getting his double-murder trial moved to March 13.

Lambert, who’s acting as his own attorney, was scheduled to go to trial at the end of this month, but argued to get it post-poned. He got his way in court Wednesday after both sides agreed they won’t be prepared since Lambert’s mental health expert hasn’t completed his report.

Lambert is presenting an insanity defense. He is accused of stabbing to death his paternal grandfather, George Lambert, tying up his great aunt, Kay Gage, and then stabbing to death his maternal grandfather, August Eugene “Sonny” Eisner, on Oct. 3, 2011.

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said Lambert’s trial had to be pushed out by four months because of the difficulty in scheduling a potentially long and complicated trial during the holiday season; in addition, trial dates aren’t available in the early part of the new year because of two other murder trials.

“It will be an intensely busy time for the entire office if these dates hold,” Banks said. “I hope they do hold, though. Every delay impacts many witnesses and victims whose lives are attached to these very important cases.”

Peggy Sue Thomas is schedule to go to trial Jan. 29 for the 2003 murder of Russell A. Douglas. The 47-year-old former beauty queen allegedly helped her boyfriend murder

Douglas by luring him to a secluded spot on South Whidbey, according to court documents.

Thomas’ alleged accomplice, James Huden, was convicted in the murder earlier this year.

Thomas had been scheduled to go to trial in November, but her trial date was continued in order to make time available for the Lambert trial.

Robert “Al” Baker, a 62-year-old Greenbank resident, is scheduled to go to trial Feb. 25 for murdering his wife this summer, according to court documents. The body of 53-year-old Kathie Baker was found wrapped in a tarp in a ravine behind their home.

The Bakers were well known in the South Whidbey communities as the owners of the former Harbor Pizzeria in Freeland.

BY JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

Times are tough and a 4 percent raise for city employees is just too much, the Langley City Council decided this week.

Convening at its regular meeting Monday, the council held its second public hearing on Mayor Larry Kwarsick’s proposed $11.3 million 2013 budget. Among the issues discussed was a built in cost of living increase, which would apply to all of the city’s 13.5 employees.

The rais-es amount to about $31,000. A 1 percent performance bonus is also being award-ed to six workers who earned enough points through a city employee incentive program. They total about $3,550.

Although the raises, which would be employees’ first in two years, saw widespread council support during the first public hearing earlier this month, several council members said they had since reconsidered the amount.

Councilman and mayor pro-tem Hal Seligson said he learned that other junior taxing districts, including the Port of South Whidbey and the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District, were offering its employees no increases whatsoever.

Seligson said he supports a cost of living increase and the incentive-based bonus program, but a raise closer to 3 percent would be more pru-dent as responsible guard-ians of public funds.

“We have a responsibility as fiduciaries to the taxpay-ers,” Seligson said.

He noted that the consum-er price index, a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market bas-ket of consumer goods and services, only proposed a cost of living increase of 2.8 percent.

Seligson sent out an email to the rest of the council before the meeting that explained his reasoning for considering a smaller raise. It saw support from the rest of the council during the meet-ing.

Kwarsick, whose mayoral salary would not be affect-

ed by the proposed raise, argued politely on behalf of city employees. After first thanking the council for not being opposed to a cost of liv-ing increase outright, he said he believed staff had earned the extra money.

They worked hard over the past year and accomplished a lot, he said.

“I think it reflects that,” Kwarsick said. “You always get what you pay for.”

For example, their efforts concerning the Second Street improvement project bore

f r u i t t h i s month w h e n c i t y officials w e r e aler ted t h a t Langley is being award-

ed a $750,000 state grant for the project.

City staff have also been alerted that they have been recommended by federal reviewers to receive another $250,000 in federal grant fund-ing for the project, though a final decision had not been made as of Monday.

Kwarsick said there is no better way than money to say thank you for all that hard work. He added that this was a chance for a small govern-ment to lead by example by rewarding its employees for work well done and to pay a living wage that will help retain employees.

In the end, the council voted unanimously to sup-port only a 3 percent cost of living increase for 2013. The vote did not address the bud-get as a whole, however, as that will be decided at a final public hearing next month.

Port delays talk about land offer

A purchase offer for some land at Possession Beach Waterfront Park will be discussed by the Port of South Whidbey at its regular meeting Tuesday, Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m.

Clyde and Marcia Monma have offered $250,000 for two parcels of property along the Dorothy Cleveland Trail in an effort to stop construc-tion of a cellular phone tower on port property at Possession Point. The item was originally on the agenda for a special port meeting Dec. 4, but that meeting will instead be dedicated to discussing

the Langley harbor proj-ect and the port’s com-prehensive plan.

The Dec. 11 regular meeting at which the Monma offer will be dis-cussed will be held at the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District office at 5475 Maxwelton Road. The Dec. 4 special meet-ing will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the port office below the China City restaurant in Freeland.

Chief turns to election analyst

In the wake of receiving a 15-cent levy lift, South Whidbey Fire/EMS will turn its attention to the disapprovers.

Fire Chief Rusty Palmer plans to target areas that voted against the levy lift. He will review precinct information from the

general election results with an eye toward pre-cincts with heavier “no” voting percentages. That information will help the fire and emergency response district focus its “public education” in the coming year.

South Whidbey Fire/EMS hired a public rela-tions consultant ahead of the levy vote for $44,000. The district began updating residents from Freeland to Clinton about the district with mail-ers and a social media presence on sites like Facebook and Twitter.

District adds three members

Three volunteer fire-fighters and emergency medical technicians were recently added to the South Whidbey Fire/EMS ranks.

Kenon Simmons, chair-man of the fire

commissioners, welcomed Kyla Graeser, Will Suarez and Robert Armstrong to the fire protection and emergency response dis-trict.

Budget takes hit with property dip

Voters approved a 15-cent levy increase for South Whidbey Fire/EMS. They likely won’t approve of the 3.01 percent decrease in Island County property values.

Fire Chief Rusty Palmer prepared two budgets, with and without the levy increase, for the commis-sioners to review. With the updated property value information, Palmer will adjust the revenue calculations. The fire dis-trict’s budget figures to be about $2.6 million.

The commissioners will meet to vote on the bud-get at 5 p.m. Nov. 27 at the Freeland station.

Superintendent to talk about levy

South Whidbey’s schools leader will update the public on a pro-posed February levy vote Wednesday.

Jo Moccia, superin-tendent of the South Whidbey School District, is scheduled to address the school board at its public meeting Nov. 28. The school district is considering asking voters for a $1.04 per $1,000 of assessed property value levy for maintenance and operations and a 53-cent per $1,000 of assessed valuation capital levy.

In responsePort sale is impracticalTo the editor:

The following views are mine alone as an individual Port of South Whidbey Commissioner, and do not represent the Port of South Whidbey:

At the PSW meeting last week, Clyde and Marcia Monma presented the port with an offer to purchase two uplands parcels encompassing the Dorothy Cleveland Trail adjacent to the Possession Beach Park. The upper parcel they have offered to purchase was surplussed by the port, but the lower parcel is considered critical to the beach park operations and so was not surplussed. In other words, the land they have offered to purchase is not for sale, and even if the port wanted to sell it, we could not legally do so without a lengthy public process.

I would also like to reiterate that it is false to frame the question as cell tower or Dorothy Cleveland Trail. The proposed cell tower would have mini-mal impact on the trail or the uplands around it. The port has every intention

of maintaining the trail, the uplands and public access to them before, dur-ing and after cell tower construction. What is at stake here is whether the port should continue to simply own and maintain an uplands park (for which it has no mandate in state law), or should instead retain the property in public hands, generate much-needed revenue, and provide improvements in rural tele-communication and emergency com-munications (which is a port mandate under state law), all while maintaining the park and trail for the public to enjoy.

Chris JeromeClinton

Port should show namesTo the editor:

An email from Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Chris Jerome claims that “many constituents and the emergency services have told us the proposed tower will benefit the community.”

I have submitted to the port a peti-tion with over 500 names of individuals who have expressed their opposition to the port’s decision to lease a sec-tion of the Dorothy Cleveland Trail parklands to allow AT&T to construct a cell tower. These names were collected via an online petition website (www.sos-sw.monma.com), from Friends of the

Dorothy Cleveland Trail, neighbors and other users of the trail. Every effort was made to correctly identify which town each person resides.

I formally request that Commissioner Jerome provide a list of specific names of the “many constituents” who support his position. In particular, I request that he provide a printed copy of all of the emails he has received for or against the port’s decision to lease the property, as well as support for or against our offer to purchase the entire DCT park.

This public information should shed considerable light on the relative levels of public opinion regarding his actions. I am certain that his statement will prove to be unsupported by the facts. Absent significant evidence to the contrary, I respectfully request that Commissioner Jerome cease making statements that are questionable and misleading.

I request that he provide this infor-mation prior to the port meeting on Dec. 4, where the commissioners will be discussing our proposal to purchase the DCT parklands.

In our opinionSpend Christmas shopping locally

What community newspapers have been preach-ing for years seems to have caught on. There is now a “Small Business Saturday,” which takes place nationwide today, Nov. 24. This follows “Black Friday,” which is allegedly the biggest big city shopping day of the year. Now that many chain stores are opening Thanksgiving, maybe we should call that one “Stuffing yourself Thursday.”

In communities such as South Whidbey, it’s small business every day of the week and during the holiday season particularly. Perhaps a visit to Toys ‘R Us is unavoidable to purchase something special for tykes brainwashed by TV ads, but for the rest of us, it’s all available right here on South Whidbey Island.

It goes without saying that Langley is our shopping mecca, with two entire streets lined with interesting shops and things to see, eat and drink. Business doors are decorated for the holidays, the tree lighting ceremo-ny tonight and other gala events are scheduled through the season, including the parade Saturday, Dec. 1 at 11 a.m.

Just don’t confine your holiday shopping to Langley. Freeland is teeming with businesses offering the practi-cal — hardware and food gifts —- to specialty antique and crafts stores, and even a place to decorate your own plate or pot for someone special. When driving through Clinton, the secret is to just slow down and see what they have, from a beautiful doll shop to a place where you can sip coffee while perusing the book shelves.

Also keep an eye on the newspaper’s calendar list-ings and ads for special sales at Bayview featuring arts and crafts, as well as a terrific plant nursery, bicycle shop and other small businesses. The Greenbank Farm bustles all holiday season with arts, crafts and specialty foods for sale.

The list of South Whidbey’s unique small businesses is endless. Look at the brochures at the ferry dock, do some Googling and dig out the Holiday Gift Guide included in the Nov. 21 South Whidbey Record.

For unique gifts that please everyone there are few better places to live. Save gas, ferry money, frustration, and keep your tax dollars working locally. Shop South Whidbey and have a very merry Christmas indeed.

No doubt about it, Jesus is the one

The world needs a Messiah; The Old Testament details exactly what we should look for. “No Doubt Jesus is the Messiah,” is the title of Pastor Darrell Wenzek’s 10 a.m. sermon Sunday, Nov. 25. At 9 a.m. Stan Walker leads an adult Bible study in the book of Genesis. Refreshments are provided at both services.

Unitarians face the contradictions

Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island, 20103 Highway 525, meets at 10 a.m. Sunday,

Nov. 25. “Living with Contradiction” by Rev. Bruce Bode will describe truth as not necessarily consistent, and to be con-sistent is not necessarily to discern truth. Bode will draw upon physics and neuroscience to examine how we deal with para-dox and contradiction. Children’s classes and child care will be available. Visit www.whidbey.com/uucwi.

The blessings of the moment

“All Good Gifts” is the subject of Rev. Joanna Gabriel’s talk at 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 25 at Unity of

Whidbey, 5671 Crawford Road. During the busy holiday season, it is easy to get caught up in the stress with little energy left to really relax into the expe-rience of gratitude and peace also available during this time. Rev. Gabriel will look at the consciousness of this holiday season and the blessings available in each moment. Visit www.unityofwhidbeyisland.org.

Friends meet in Freeland

Whidbey Island Quakers, newly renamed as “Whidbey Island Friends Meeting,” hold a regular

meeting for worship every Sunday from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist building, located at 20103 Highway 525, Freeland.

This time of silent wor-ship together may include spoken messages or shar-ing of spiritual journeys. On the first Sunday of each month, an additional time of singing at 3:30 p.m. pre-cedes the worship service. Visit whidbeyquakers.org.

Church presents ‘Monumental’ film

“Monumental” is the story of America’s begin-nings. It will be shown at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28, at the Island Church (CMA), Sixth and Cascade, Langley. Kirk Cameron takes viewers across Europe and the United States as he discov-ers America’s true national

treasure — the people, places and principles.

Turn from the material world

When Jesus was tempt-ed by the offerings that the material world had for him — food, power and wealth — he told temptation, “… Get thee hence, Satan: for it is writ-ten, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve” (Matthew 4:10). With those words, Jesus was free of temptation.

The Christian Science service demonstrates at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 25, how you can negate the influences that create and feed the fear that God is not the only power and creator. The service is at 15910 Highway 525. All are welcome.

Tip-off for Falcon home basketball games will be a little earlier this season.

South Whidbey athletic director Scott Mauk said agree-ments were reached with the referees association and Cascade Conference schools to start varsity home games at 6:45 p.m., about 15 minutes earlier. Six of the other seven schools in South Whidbey’s conference have to travel by ferry, and the winter schedule eliminates 9 p.m. sailings from Clinton to Mukilteo. In years past, schools and athletic officials have missed the 8:30 p.m. sailing and are forced to wait another hour.

“They were missing that one boat by a few minutes,” Mauk said. “Now they can comfortably make that boat and not have to wait that extra hour.

“We appreciate that they come here and we’ll do anything we can to keep them coming.”

It will also benefit South Whidbey’s students. Finishing Tuesday night games earlier will mean an earlier bed time.

“Or they can do homework,” Mauk said. Though the new start time is finalized for this season,

it may not be permanent next year. Mauk acknowledged that parents working over town may struggle with the new tip-off time.

“If this becomes something where there’s lots of feed-back on South Whidbey, we’d look at it,” he said.

The main concern was to continue to host and have competition. Friday Harbor High School struggles with its athletic scheduling as a conference independent.

South Whidbey, however, was approached by an inter-national competitor. The Falcon basketball teams will face a club of 20 students traveling with 11 adult chaperones from Penrith, Australia this season.

“We’re really stoked,” Mauk said.

BY BEN WATANABEStaff reporter

LANGLEY — Winter sports at South Whidbey High School bolstered their ranks this year.

Though the school shrank in enrollment, six more stu-dents will suit up for the Falcon girls basketball, boys basketball and wrestling teams this season.

“I’m thinking it’s a lot,” said Scott Mauk, who is in his second year as the Falcon athletic director.

“It takes years of coaching to build a program. I have great head coaches and fabu-lous assistants.”

Boys basketball will roll with three teams — varsity, junior varsity and C-Team — after making extensive cuts. Wrestling, which has long grappled with being a small school and missing some of the light weights, looks ready to field the 113-pound and 120-pound divi-sion with a large group of freshmen and sophomores (wrestlers who haven’t gone through coach Jim Thompson’s weight training regimen).

South Whidbey was pro-jected to lose about 60 stu-dents from last year’s enroll-ment. Still, comparative fig-ures from October 2011 to this year show an increase of 10 students from ninth to 12th grade, excluding South Whidbey Academy stu-dents. Male students moved between wrestling and bas-ketball, and Mauk reported some athletes turned out for

winter sports for the first time or after sitting out last year.

“Kids talk and they will vote with their feet,” Mauk said. “Sports are not manda-tory. They won’t show up if they hear bad things about a coach.”

F a l c o n boys basket-ball saw the largest growth, though only three more play-ers. Given Falcon coaches can only play five at a time, minutes may be hard to come by across each team.

Wrestling saw a two-athlete increase, which Mauk said may grow to 30 grapplers

total. G i r l s

basketball increased by one Falcon this year. Falcon girls basketball head coach Andy Davis said he would keep nine Falcons

on varsity to start, then bring a couple girls up from JV as the season — and the players — progressed.

The girls team finished 8-12 overall and was eliminated

from the district tournament in the first round. Falcon wrestling missed out on the state 2A tournament for the second time in the past three years after a long stretch of sending at least one grappler to the Tacoma Dome. South Whidbey’s boys basketball team finished 7-13 overall, including only four Cascade Conference wins and missing qualification for playoffs.

“Kids are wanting to play because they’re being led by good people,” Mauk said. “It’s not a win-loss thing.

“The teams were competi-tive, but the kids are going to the program because they want to have fun.”

Wednesday night at St. Hubert Catholic Church in Langley. Head cook Al Jones had already cooked 17 turkeys, deboned them and taken them to the Langley United Methodist Church to be refrigerated over night.

“We’ve got lots of help,” Taylor said. St. Augustine’s and Trinity Lutheran were also involved, as well as many others who just want-ed to help. Sixty or more vol-unteers helped organize and deliver the meals Thursday.

“There’s a lot of people helping make Tommy’s dream come true,” he added.

The Mobile Turkey Unit has extended its reach con-siderably over the years.

One special delivery meal was made to a Navy pilot shipping out to Afghanistan in the next few days. His wife in Southern California had called the Mobile Turkey Unit last week. She said it was the first Thanksgiving that he hadn’t been home with her and their two young kids, so the MTU made the special delivery.

Another driver called Taylor at St. Hubert’s to say

that 14 homeless people were waiting at the Bayview Valero. “This was the first time we’ve had people wait-ing at one of the service stations we deliver meals to,” he said.

At 8 a.m. volunteers ringed the walls of the com-munity room at St. Hubert’s while Fr. Rick Spicer said

a blessing on the effort. Then the food assembly line began. They completed assembling the meals by 9:30 a.m., when the first driv-ers arrived. Final cleanup was completed by noon, though most volunteers were gone to start their own Thanksgiving meals by 11 a.m.

“This was the first time the event was held at St. Hubert’s and it went very smoothly. We are all looking forward to next year and would welcome a few more people on the organizing committee,” said one of the organizers, Laura Canby.

New this year, trees, wreaths for auction on South Whidbey

BY REBECCA OLSONStaff reporter

Uniquely decorated trees and wreaths may be in the forefront of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County’s 14th annual Festival of Trees gala and auction, but what really shines are the life-changing relationships the event funds.

The island-wide Festival of Trees culminates at 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge. Tickets cost $85.

This entertaining formal event, featuring uniquely decorated trees and wreaths and several auction items, benefits children on Whidbey Island by partnering them with positive role models through Big Brothers Big Sisters, a nonprofit organization.

“The 14th annual Festival of Trees is not just a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters, but also a community celebration,” said

Peggy Dyer, executive director. “The themes of the decorated trees, wreaths and garlands are so unique and creative each year as designers begin thinking of and shop-ping for their ideas early in the year so they are able to get everything that they may need.”

Along with the gala and auction, Festival of Trees includes several fam-ily activities throughout the weekend. The Teddy Bear Character Breakfast includes two sittings at 9 and 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 at the Elks Lodge in Oak Harbor. Tickets

cost $5 for youths 12 years and under and $10 for 13 and older.

Trees will be on display at a free com-munity open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge. The public is welcome to view the deco-rated trees before they are delivered to their new owners.

A new addition to the Festival of Trees this year will be beautifully decorated trees and wreaths now on display in 12 business

locations throughout Freeland, Langley and Clinton. This twist is

meant to bring the beauty of the event into a more public setting, Dyer said.

Community members are encouraged to tour all the trees and wreaths and bid on these between now and Nov. 29, when the highest bidder will be notified.

Dyer has assisted in leading the event for the last 14 years. In her departing year with the agency, she said she hopes to leave a lasting legacy that continues to encourage community members to become a part of the program, in whatever capacity they can give.

“Big Brothers Big Sisters is built off the strength of our community. Our partners, volunteers, spon-sors and community members are crucial in the growth of our youths. With the support of our community, all things are possible in giving our youth a better future,” Dyer said.

To make reservations to attend the Festival of Trees gala or the Teddy Bear Character Breakfast or for more information, visit www.bbbsislandcounty.org or con-tact 360-279-0644 or [email protected].

Cathlamet didn’t realize it.”Ferry workers often sleep

overnight in bunks on the ferries when their schedule demands it.

When the sleeping captain was noticed, the Cathlamet had to immediately turn around to put the captain back on the Kittitas to keep it on schedule as much as pos-sible, Coursey explained.

“We were running about 20 minutes late,” she said.

“You can’t make this stuff up,” said Couch, who has been riding the ferries for 40 years.

“What a waste of fuel and time,” Sipe said in an email after Wednesday’s early morning problem.

Advisors hear complaints

Earlier this month, a hand-ful of early morning sailings were scrapped when a ferry crew member missed work. On Monday, Nov. 19, the 5:10 and 5:35 a.m. sailings were cancelled because of a “crew-ing issue,” according to an alert by Washington State Ferries.

With Clinton-to-Mukilteo ferries often filled with cars and walk-on passengers in the weekday morning runs, the cancellations caused quite a delay at the start of Thanksgiving week, leaving Whidbey Island residents with lots of gripe and little thanks toward the ferry sys-tem. Crewing-related cancel-lations have also occurred on the Coupeville-to-Port Townsend route.

Cancellations in November and October were a hot topic at a recent ferry advi-sory committee meeting in Freeland. Committee mem-bers Dave Hoogerwerf and Dean Enell, who represent the Clinton committee, heard five commuters’ wishes and frustrations.

“I ride the ferry every day,” said Clinton resident Catherine Billera. “It really irritates me when people are making decisions for people who take the ferry every day and they’re not taking the ferry every day.”

Billera walks on the Clinton ferry, then catches the Sounder light rail train to Seattle for work. Her hus-band Tony Billera occasion-ally crosses Puget Sound, but he rides his motorcycle and has avoided some of the prob-lems faced by drivers when the holding lot fills and a car line snakes from the ferry ter-minal up Highway 525 toward Dairy Queen.

One of the proposed solu-tions to long car lines — and it’s not exactly novel — is an overnight parking lot in Mukilteo. At ferry advisory meetings across the water, however, construction of a large lot near the Mukilteo ferry terminal has been reject-ed by citizens. However, Port of South Whidbey President

Curt Gordon is still pursuing a parking garage in Mukilteo, working with that city and other agencies.

Deborah Trainor recently moved to Clinton and works over town. She tried utiliz-ing an Island County Transit van pool. It didn’t last long because Trainor’s schedule delayed her fellow carpool rid-ers — something she wasn’t comfortable with. Lines on the Mukilteo side delayed her return home by two hours, sometimes even three hours.

“When I do have to drive in and drive back, it is horrible,” Trainor said. “It’s just terrible. I don’t know what can make it better.”

Ahead of a Nov. 29 visit by David Moseley to Freeland, assistant transportation secre-tary of ferries, ferry commut-ers are geared to give him an earful. The cancellations — which Moseley has assert-ed are not union organized — are sure to dominate the conversation. Adequate park-ing and the proposed new

terminal are also likely top-ics. The ferry system selected the site for the new Mukilteo terminal, estimated to cost b e t w e e n $120 mil-lion and $130 mil-lion (only $90 million is in the state’s bud-get for the project).

The new site will move the terminal to the site of the disused oil tank farm pier, less than a half-mile north-east of the current terminal and directly across from the Mukilteo rail station.

The new terminal may include 67 additional day park-ing spaces, though no over-night parking is planned. Six

bus bays are also part of the Elliot Point 2 concept, which would make the Mukilteo terminal a true transit hub.

“I’ve always been a firm advocate that the termi-nal in Mukilteo requires three-legged planning: bus-ses, ferries and Sounder,” Hoogerwerf said.

Ferry advisory commit-tee members were adamant

that commuters’ concerns will be well received by Moseley. History is on their side. Several years ago when Washington State Ferries began implementing a reser-vation system, Moseley vis-ited Clinton and arrived to a packed house clearly opposed to starting reservations on the Clinton-to-Mukilteo run, as is already being done on the Coupeville-to-Port Townsend run.

“And they listened,” Enell said. “There’s no reservation (system).”

spot with Island County Public Works. In the past, elaborate plans to significantly raise the height of the short, aging dike fell through, but now work is being done to finally hold back the sea water from Holmes Harbor. With an extreme high tide Monday morning, water was seep-ing through the dike across the road, flooding the wet-land and open fields on the

other side, and covering the intersection with Woodard Avenue with about 2 feet of water. Most drivers saw the water and “Road Closed” sign and turned around, but others plowed through, not minding water halfway up the doors.

Seybert said the dike was built in 1903 to separate the marsh from the sea, in the process creating enough dry land for Spencer’s Store, a landmark at the end of Holmes Harbor for many years. But in recent years

the dike has failed to protect Shoreview from flooding and resulting road closures.

Work to upgrade the dike actually started last January to protect the intersection. Various types of rock were brought in to raise the level of the dike, and the wattles helped capture sea debris to further fortify the struc-ture. “It’s basically a shoulder repair for the road,” Seybert said. The job was about half done before Monday’s storm hit and flooding reoccurred.

Fay Rimer (Alexander)

and her brother Donald Alexander were walking their dogs around and through the water. They were raised in the old Peterson house just up the hill starting in 1956 and flooding is not new to their eyes, but Rimer said the deep water at the intersec-tion and extra flooding in the fields alongside the marsh didn’t happen in the past.

“It never flooded where it is now,” she said. Her little Yorkies, Gidget and Fidget, and brother Don’s Chihuahua, Zippy, had fun

running along the edges of the puddled road but showed no desire to plunge into

deeper water.Rimer said she’s glad to

see the county is making the dike higher and stronger. “It’s going to be a wet winter,” she predicted.

A “Road Closed” sign at the corner of Shoreview Drive and Woodard Avenue in Freeland doesn’t deter all drivers. This driver took the risk and the car emerged safely on the other side.
