Thirteen-year-old Langley resident Alex Low (red shirt) and Julie Buktenica (blue shirt) with her dog, Lizzie, were the first to cross the finish line at the Pawz by the Sea 5K run/walk in Langley on Sunday. They began the race at the head of the pack, competing with more than 100 other participants.

The Island County Deputy Sheriff’s Guild claims that county officials don’t understand their own budget and demands that they retain an outside budget expert before any labor negotiations continue.

The 33 commissioned deputies who com-prise the guild have worked without a contract since 2008 in what has been a contentious

process involving two lawsuits brought by the guild.

The contract was submitted for a hearing before a neutral arbitrator.

The guild sent “a strongly worded letter” to the county’s labor contract negotiators earlier this month, criticizing the county officials for claiming they were broke while sitting on a “massive” reserve fund, according to a guild press release.

In response, the Island County Board of Commissioners sent a statement to the South Whidbey Record disputing assertions made in a letter written by Jim Cline, attorney for the guild.

“The claims made in Mr. Cline’s letter are untrue, distorted, or greatly exaggerated. His letter creates an inaccurate public perception of the status of the negotiations, rather than a serious proposal to the county,” the commis-

sioners’ release states.The guild’s skepticism about the state of

the budget comes after the commissioners removed the law-and-justice levy proposal from November’s ballot.

The measure would have funded additional deputies in the office.

Strained labor talks spark debate over county budget

Running with the pack

By LORINDA KAYFor the South Whidbey Record

It was a day for the dogs Sunday when the first PAWZ by the Sea 5K run/walk was held in Langley under an almost clear sky.

Over 100 participants joined the event from all across the Puget Sound region including Kent, Tacoma, Snohomish, Oak Harbor and South Whidbey.

Despite high winds and rain during the weekend, the dog god must have been watching over the crowd as run-

ners were hit with only a brief shower. In fact, the wind was calm and the clouds parted offering a hint of blue sky for the race start.

Dogs small and large, dressed in rain gear and tutus, were running, walking and even carried over the finish line on Second Street. Perhaps the most pampered was the little terrier, Giblet, who rode in a stroller wrapped in a blanket the whole distance, pushed by owner Stephanie Barber of Kent.

But paralyzed Oliver was the dog hero of the day, completing the entire course with his rump cradled in a

two-wheeled cart. Owner Bobbie Mayer of Clinton had to hustle to keep up with his pace across the finish line.

Announcer Scott Ohsman set a festive tone as each run-ner and walker was greeted at the finish line with encour-agement, applause and spontaneous awards. Fashionista winner was Daffodil with her slick yellow rain cape and hood, perfect attire for the day, according to owner Mary Douglas.

Commissioner Jill Johnson, the new member on the board, led the charge to cancel the levy after real-izing that the county has a large reserve fund that’s growing each year.

“The recommended stan-dards for local governments are for about 5 to 15 per-cent reserves and not more than about 16 percent,” Cline claimed. “The county has reserves in excess of 45 percent and will likely hit over 50 percent by the end of this year.”

In August, the commis-sioners reported that the reserve fund is at $9 million, which is 41 percent of the county’s $22-million operat-ing budget. Revenues out-

paced expenditures by $1.6 million in 2011, $1.9 million in 2012 and this year’s pro-jection is for a minimum of $1.5 million.

County officials decided that the excess funds should be used to fill in the budget gaps before the county asks for more funds from the citi-zens. They said a levy may still be necessary someday.

Cline claims the county is insisting on freezing deputy wages, which would leave it “unable to compete suc-cessfully against other law enforcement agencies that are now ramping up hiring and filling their own vacant positions.”

Sheriff Mark Brown said he can’t discuss the guild letter or labor negotiations.

But he explained that he lost 10 deputies and three corrections officers during

budget cuts in 2008 and 2009. The commissioners restored four deputies and a jailer in the 2014 budget.

Guild President Darren Crownover, a longtime dep-uty, said in the press release that he’s glad the sheriff is hiring four new deputies, though he added the office probably needs six more to be properly staffed.

He’s not happy with coun-ty officials’ oversight of labor relations.

“The guild decided it was time to be direct with the commissioners and tell them that we see no point in further meetings until they get their house in order,” he said.

The guild hired Stan Finkelstein, the former director of the Association of Washington Cities, to assess the county’s budget records.

Cline claimed his work with Finkelstein convinced him that the county “does not know what it’s doing.”

Cline claimed that the county withheld financial documents that caused arbi-tration to be delayed.

Bob Braun, the county’s contracted labor negotiator, blames the delay on Cline.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Cline’s litigation tactics have delayed the arbitration again and again. I believe this method of bargaining is cost-ing the union and the taxpay-ers a lot of money that would be better spent on wages and benefits for our deputies,” he said in the press release.

The commissioners declined to discuss any of the specific allegations in Cline’s letter due to the ongoing negotiations and lawsuits.

Clinton driver faces multiple charges after allegedly fleeing wreck

By JESSIE STENSLAND

South Whidbey Record

A Clinton man accused of driving away from the scene of a May 15 accident on South Whidbey is facing several charges in Island County Superior Court.

Prosecutors charged 35-year-old Nicholas J. Sayko with hit and run, DUI and reckless driving. He could face up to a year in jail if convicted of the charges.

Washington State Patrol Trooper David Martin was patrolling on South Whidbey when he received a report of a red Toyota pickup driving off after causing an accident on Highway 525 at Bayview.

Martin saw a red Toyota pickup with heavy front-end

damage drive by on the highway, so he pulled the vehicle over on Lancaster Road.

Sayko jumped out of the truck and refused when the trooper told him to put his hands on his truck.

“He told me to shoot him and I told him no,” Martin wrote.

After making sure Sayko was unarmed, the trooper eventually got him to sit on his tail gate and later arrested him.

Sayko’s blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.124 and 0.128. The legal limit is 0.08.

The collision caused a “minor injury,” the report states.

Accused child molestor could serve six years

By JESSIE STENSLAND


A 61-year-old Clinton man accused of molesting a young girl three years ago may face a lengthy prison sentence if convicted of the charge against him, court documents indicate.

Prosecutors charged Larry E. Godsey in Island County Superior Court Sept. 19 with child molesta-tion in the first degree.

Detective Laura Price with the Island County Sheriff ’s Office investi-gated the case after receiv-ing a referral from Child Protective Services.

The father of the alleged victim claimed that Godsey molested his daughter when she was less than 12 years old, Price wrote in her report.

Initially, the father said he didn’t want the detec-tive to interview the girl, but hoped she would heal and get help through ther-

apy. The man claimed that Godsey admitted to molest-ing the girl, apologized and promised to leave the island and get sex-offender treat-ment, the report states.

Price wrote that Godsey was still on the island months later and hadn’t sought treatment.

A relative of Godsey’s reported that he confessed to his church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and was excom-municated, but could return after seeking treatment, the report states.

After learning that Godsey hadn’t followed through on his promise, the girl’s family decided to let her be interviewed. She told the detective that Godsey molested her on more than one occasion, Price wrote.

If convicted of the charge against him, Godsey could face more than six years in prison under the standard sentencing range.

After an hour of constantly refreshing several weather forecasts on smart phones and laptops, Soup Box Derby organizers called off the beloved Langley race early Saturday morning.

It was one of the only races canceled since the Langley Community Club and Langley Men’s Club took over managing the race.

“We’ve done that kind of a race with a little bit of water and they slide,” said Tucker Stevens, president of the both clubs. “We sat there about 6:30 to 7:30 in the morning and knew it wasn’t going to change.”

The Soup Box Derby will not be rescheduled in 2013. One of the major difficul-ties in planning the race for another weekend is the flex-ibility of the race volunteers’ schedules.

“The following weekends,

they’re going to weddings, visiting relatives,” Stevens said. “You can’t get the same

group back again … We regret it. Oh gosh, we regret it.”

That left several racers without a course to roll down Saturday morning. Though

one intrepid team took the wedge-shaped racer spon-sored by Village Pizzeria and claimed Soup Box Derby vic-tory as the only racer to roll down First Street. A video that was posted on Facebook by Ross Chapin shows “The Midnight Outlaw and The Fire Flys” racing in style with flames painted on the sides and actual pyrotechnics — two lit Roman candles — from the sides.

The race, which has run annually for the past 11 years, is one of the main fundrais-ers for the community club. As a service group, the Langley Community Club uses sponsorship revenue to benefit public areas in South Whidbey’s only city, such as buying new playgroup equip-ment at Generation Park.

Next year, the club plans to schedule the race in August with the hope that rain and wind won’t be as likely in the summer. All sponsors

who donated to the race will not be asked for money next year, and all sponsorship dol-lars will be kept by the com-munity club for use toward Langley projects.

“They’ve got a free ride for next year,” Stevens said.

Exact dates of the 2014 race have yet to be decided. Stevens said the Langley Community Club was working out the details with other organizations in the city because sum-mer weekends are typically booked for various events, such as Choochokam and DjangoFest Northwest.

Bergen Rose combined two passions — paintings and textiles — to create multi-dimensional images. Sara Saltee, an assemblage artist, combines tiny objects into thoughtful, textural assem-blages of differing dimensions. Photographer Michael Stadler’s collection of surreal images are a composite of puzzle pieces put together as photographic illustra-tions.

The Whidbey Island Writers Association has an inspiring task — to help self-described non-writers develop into writers.

The association’s mission is to help sharpen the skills of writers of all ages, said Dorothy Read, member of the association and Spirit of Writing contest leader.

“We want to take them from where they are and help them grow,” she said.

The group has many resources available with their new Bayview location including classes, contests and conferences. Their upcoming 15th annual con-ference, the 2013 Whidbey Island Writers Conference, will be held from Oct. 25 to 27 in Coupeville.

This year the conference is placing emphasis on young writers, an effort led by Nicole Persun, and work-shops that define the female voice and songwriting. Workshops are held at Coupeville High School.

One of the most distinc-tive aspects at the event are “chat houses” that will happen at a handful of homes near Coupeville. Each is limited to 20 participants, to provide one-on-one time with presenters.

Conference Director Kim Cottrell said one of the

goals of the conference is to provide the most cutting-edge information to writers.

“In today’s changing environment where every-thing is so electronic, it’s important to stay on top of it,” Cottrell said.

Having critiques and interacting with writers who have that experi-ence and know how to make their pitch, is a popular topic

at the conference, she said.Cottrell is excited about

Write Night on Saturday

evening at Jenne Farm, 538 S. Engle Road, in Coupeville. The event will feature a live concert by Ian Moore, keynote speaker Karen Finneyfrock and a poetry slam. The evening, open to the public for $20, benefits the group’s newly developed Youth Writing Program.

Freeland resident Hannah McConnaughey, 16, has been to the confer-ence twice and is planning to return this year.

“It’s so inspiring to hear success stories,” she said. “The presenters especially have so much great advice … it’s almost overwhelm-ing.”

McConnaughey hopes to build on what she has learned in previous confer-ences and contests through the Whidbey Island Writers

Association as well. In 2011, she entered an adult writ-ing category in the Spirit of Writing Contest as a 13-year-old. She wanted crit-icism and feedback without being judged on the basis of her age.

Her work paid off — she received positive feedback praising her use of vocabu-lary along with construc-tive criticism. She said the contest helped expose her to new works and writers while developing her own style.

“I have no limits,” McConnaughey said.

For details on the confer-ence, visit www.nila.edu/wiwc/ Submissions for the Spirit of Writing Contest are due Oct. 13. For more infor-mation on the contest, visit www.nila.edu/wiwa_spirit_contest.htm

YOURBACKSTAGE

CREW.

“I wish you’d stop yak-king about zucchini and give me some help with eggplant. I’m tired of egg-plant Parmesan.” That’s one of the more blunt requests I’ve had in the past couple of weeks for eggplant recipes.

Fact is, eggplant is one of those garden vegetables — it’s actually a fruit, but never mind — that just ‘don’t get no respect,’ as Rodney Dangerfield would say. I have many friends who say they just don’t bother to grow or buy it because it’s dull, boring

and bland unless you turn it into Eggplant Parmesan, which then makes it fat-tening and a dish you don’t feel like eating often.

Eggplant did have a very bad rep-utation for a very long time because it’s a mem-ber of the nightshade family, which includes its poisonous relatives Belladonna — deadly nightshade — and Jimson weed. Tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers are also members of that family, but nobody shuns them for that relation-ship. However, if you were to attempt to eat a very young, unripe eggplant or its leaves, you could end up very sick, so keep that in mind as we talk eggplant.

As far as is known, egg-plant probably originated

in China sometime about five or six centuries B.C.,

and is found in most cultures throughout the world. Ratatouille in France, Melanzana Parmigiano in Italy, Szechuan dishes in China, moussaka in Greece, in many curry dishes in India, Baba

Ghanoush throughout the Middle East, escabeche in Spain, often combined with lamb on skewers in Turkey, and frequently in soups, stews and casse-roles in Britain — where it is called aubergine, by the way.

What are its redeeming virtues? At first glance, not many. It’s not high in any particular vitamin content, but it does offer a healthy amount of calcium, magne-sium, potassium and phos-phorous. It’s also high in soluble fiber (especially if you leave the skin on), and has virtually zero choles-terol. Also in its favor, egg-plant lends itself to almost every cooking method — roasted, baked, broiled, grilled, braised, sautéed — and it also plays well with many other vegetables in soups and casseroles.

There are several variet-ies of eggplant, from wee

little white globes to our familiar large, dark-skinned Western globe. In most of our supermarkets, long slender Asian varieties and the Western globe are the types most frequently found in the produce sec-tion. The Asian eggplants are a bit sweeter and more tender-skinned, better for stir-frying or grilling, while the globe lends itself to roasting, baking and brais-ing.

Oh, and should you hap-pen to be stung by a scor-pion, apply raw eggplant to the area immediately to reduce swelling and draw out venom.

You see? Eggplant deserves some respect, folks.

RECIPESFirst, if you’re still grill-

ing, here’s a very flavor-ful, easy way to enjoy the slender Japanese eggplant. This recipe will serve 12 for your autumn picnic, but is easily cut in half for your family meal.

GRILLED JAPANESE EGGPLANT WITH FETA

12 Japanese eggplants, stemmed and halved lengthwise

1 T. salt1/3 cup chopped, drained

oil-packed sun-dried toma-toes

¼ cup fresh lemon juice2 T. olive oil, plus more

for grilling

2-4 garlic cloves, minced (to taste, obviously)

1 T. chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus extra sprigs for garnish

1 T. chopped fresh mint, plus extra sprigs for gar-nish

1 cup (packed) crumbled Feta cheese

Place eggplant halves in a large colander and toss with the salt. Let stand ½ hr. then transfer to paper towels and pat dry.

Stir tomatoes, lemon juice, 2 T. of the oil, gar-lic, chopped parsley and chopped mint in a med. bowl. Mix in the cheese and season with salt and freshly ground black pep-per to taste. (You can do this ahead and chill until ready to finish, if desired.)

Prepare the barbecue on med.-high heat. Brush eggplant liberally with oil and grill until tender, probably about 3 min. (watch, because it can burn quickly). Place on a platter, cut side up, and spoon on the feta/tomato topping. Garnish with parsley and mint; serve. Serves 12.

As long as we’re talking about grilling and eggplant in the same sentence, how about an eggplant pizza you can do on the grill? Before you say, “no thanks” and sign out, let me just say this is not only an easy way to have a vegetarian pizza, it’s delicious and dif-ferent. I’ve also done this on my smaller indoor grill.

GRILLED EGGPLANT/PEPPER PIZZAS

4 oz. soft goat cheese (chevre)

¼ cup dried tomato pesto or basil pesto (purchased; whichever you prefer)

2 med. green, red and/or yellow sweet peppers

8 slices, ½-inch thick, eggplant

2 T. olive oilSalt and black pepper,

to taste2 six-inch purchased

pizza shells, 6-inch (I use Boboli)

In a small bowl, stir together the goat cheese and pesto; set aside.

Cut peppers lengthwise into quarters. Remove and discard stems, seeds and membranes. Brush pep-pers and eggplant slices lightly with some of the olive oil; sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper. Brush the tops of the pizza shells with remaining olive oil.

Place peppers, eggplant slices and pizza shells on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over med. coals (or on med. heat). Grill the shells for 2-3 min., or until toasted, turning once halfway through grilling. Grill the eggplant slices for 6-8 min., or until tender, turning once halfway through. Grill the pepper quarters for 8-10 min., or until softened and slightly charred, turning once halfway through grill-ing. Remove shells and vegetables from the grill as they are done. Coarsely chop the vegetables and set aside.

Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly onto the pizza shells; top with the grilled vegetables. To serve, cut pizzas into quarters. If desired, you can serve with additional grated Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top. Serves 4.

Storyteller takes stories to Tennessee

Jill Johnson, local sto-ryteller and performer, traveled to Knoxville, Tenn. recently to per-form at the “Haunting in the Hills” Storytelling Festival at the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.

“Haunting in the Hills,” now in its 21st year, is one of the largest free

outdoor storytelling festivals in the U.S., with audiences of 2,000 to 3,000 people.

In addition to the festival performances, Johnson and four other featured tellers trav-eled all over eastern Tennessee and Kentucky to tell stories to stu-dents. In three days, the five tellers gave 62 performances and presented to more than 1,200 students from pre-kindergarteners to high school seniors.

“We were exhausted, but it was a wonderful experience,” Johnson said.

After the festival, Johnson returned to Jonesborough, Tenn., her former home and site of the National Storytelling Festival. She performed an excerpt of her one-woman show, “Rebecca: the story of Rebecca Ebey” at the International Storytelling Center as a guest (and for-mer member) of the Jonesborough

Storytelling Guild. Johnson won the

Huebner Grant from the National Storytelling Network two years ago for research on her Rebecca story. The grant, funded by the Jonesborough Storytelling Guild, was named for Carole Ann Huebner, a Guild teller and Johnson’s close friend.

“I wanted to bring my story of Rebecca Ebey home,” said Johnson.

Everyone was a winner on Sunday, but first across the finish line was Alex Low, 13, from Langley who completed the course in 23:30, just ahead of Langley Middle School coach Don Zisette, who placed second for the men.

The first dog to com-plete the course was Lizzie with owner Julie Buktenica of Langley with a time of

24:19. Lizzie keeps in great shape running with the middle and high school cross country teams.

Placing second for the women was Nikki Kirchhauser.

The short course for the kids’ run was completed by the only runner of the day, Alesei Stalpaert, and his dog Scipio of Freeland who received a personal escort through First and Second streets by Langley Police Chief Dave Marks.

Event organizer Louise

Long has 20 years experi-ence with race marathons. She serves as the race and e x e c u t i v e director for the Seattle M a r a t h o n Association.

“This was an abso-lutely won-derful day,” Long said. “There were lots of runners and dogs, no dog fights and no runner fights.”

Jean Dieden of Animal

Hospital by the Sea hosted the event, enjoyed the expe-rience and definitely wants

to continue next year. “It was so enjoyable to

put on an event and see so many people having fun.” Dieden said.

She added that it was great to watch people walk or run through a beauti-

ful town and get to know the many people who came to help out.

“I want to thank all the volunteers

and Langley Main Street for co-sponsoring the day,” Dieden said.

The event raised money to benefit the 4H Happy Hounds Dog Club and Good Cheer Pet Food Bank. Over 40 volunteers, including the children from the Happy

Hounds Club, and Perfect Time Events began arriving at 4 a.m. Sunday morning to set up for the day. The course started and finished on Second Street.

Everyone at the finish line was handed a bottle of water and dog treats, as well as a T-shirt and good-ie bags. The top 10 men and women completing the course received gifts and recognition for their efforts.

As a result of Congress’s inability to pass a budget by the Sept. 30 deadline, hundreds of Department of Defense employees at Whidbey Island were fur-loughed Tuesday as part of a country-wide government shutdown.

Of the approximately 1,200 civil service workers at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, employees related to safety, life and wellness will be exempted, said base spokes-man Mike Welding. It was unclear how many of the base’s 1,200 contractors will be affected.

Many essential federal services island-wide will not be affected, however, includ-ing the U.S. Postal Service, Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.

“Let’s just hope for a quick resolution to this,” said Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kathy Reed. “When you take people’s pay away for no good reason, it hurts everybody.”

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said the shut-down adds to the frustration of island governments who have been trying to recover after the economic downturn and sequestration.

“People across the county will be impacted if this con-tinues,” Price Johnson said. “I think it would be better for them to promote stabil-ity instead of manufacturing crises.”

As of press time early Tuesday, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives

continued to send a short-term spending bill back and forth with no agreement. Republican leadership has refused to pass a spending bill without defunding or delay-ing the Affordable Care Act.

“I am disappointed that the Senate and the House could not come to a reasonable compromise tonight,” said Washington Republican Rep. Dave Reichert. “A govern-ment shutdown is not in the best interest of the American people, whom we have prom-ised to serve. But, I will not give up fighting for them.”

Democratic Congressman Rick Larsen accused House Republicans of “playing chick-en with the government and our economy.”

“When veterans’ phone calls go unanswered, when school children are turned away from national parks, and when scientists working on the flu vaccine are told to go home, Americans will at least know who broke their government,” he said.

While not all Department of Veterans Affairs services will be shut down, many of the programs will be affected.

“VA medical centers, clin-ics and other health services have advance appropriations for 2014 and will remain open,” VA spokeswoman Victoria Dillon said Monday in a news release.

The VA has funds avail-able to make sure claims and payments are processed, and

pension, education and voca-tional rehabilitation programs will continue through late October.

There are currently funds available to ensure claims, processing and payments in the compensation, pen-sion, education, and voca-tional rehabilitation programs will continue through late October, Dillon said. But after that, claims process-ing and payments in those programs will be suspended once the funds are used up. Also, the Veterans Benefits Administration will not be able to keep paying overtime for claims processors — a result of efforts to tame the controversial backlog of dis-ability compensation claims.

All VA medical facilities and clinics will remain open and fully operational, providing inpatient and outpatient care, surgeries, prescriptions, den-tal treatments, extended care, mental health care, veterans’ centers, nursing home care and special healthcare ser-vices for women vets.

The VA also says it will continue to provide military sexual trauma counseling, home loan processing, voca-tional rehabilitation payment processing; compensation and pension claims process-ing, application processing for headstones, markers and medallions, notification of death-benefit actions, and ful-filling orders for prosthetics.

But the shutdown will mean

suspension of the Veterans Benefits Administration Education Call Center; the VA Inspector General hotline; VA Consumer Affairs email, web and phone contacts; con-gressional liaison veterans’ queries; and VA job applica-tion functions. Recruiting and hiring will cease, the depart-ment said.

Interments of veterans in national cemeteries will con-tinue, but at a reduced sched-ule.

At Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve, two full-time national park employees were furloughed because of the shutdown, said Lisbeth Cort, interim Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve manager on Tuesday. About 21,000 park employees were furloughed around the coun-try, she said.

“We’re answering the phones, but we’re curtailed with everything on the park service side,” Cort said.

Because of the partner-

ship with the trust board, Cort said the office is able to remain open, unlike other parks across the country. For those who have received rehabilitation grants, they are still able to get assistance. All projects headed by the nation-al park employees, such as trail maintenance, signage and the Ferry House reha-bilitation have stopped, Cort said.

“Tonight I join with so many Washington families in being frustrated and disappointed that House Republicans

have shut down the federal government over a crisis of their own creation,” said Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat. “Shutting down the govern-ment over a law that has — and will continue to — pro-vide Washington families with access to affordable health care is the height of irrespon-sibility, and Washington state families deserve better.”

The last federal govern-ment shutdown occurred 17 years ago and lasted three weeks, according to news reports.

Terry WelchReaching out through science, travel and flash mobs.

Ohana. It means “family” in the Hawaiian language, and it’s how a former South Whidbey firefighter colleague described to Terry Welch what the experience would be like. That was more than 12 years ago. “He was right, and I still feel it everyday. There is a strong connection with the community, too, that’s so important.” If the multi-faceted Welch could be described as being about any one thing, it’s connection to her community. She’s been a science teacher at Coupeville Middle School for 17 years. Her journey to that role, as well as firefighting, came through a series of experiences spanning over several years. Welch grew up in Chicago, and then went to college at Colorado State University, where she earned a degree in forestry. During the summers, she worked for the Bureau of Land Management as a firefighter. For more visit:

Langley marina work progresses

The first phase of the South Whidbey Harbor expansion at Langley has entered a new stage as crews near the comple-tion of pile installation.

Workers from Neptune Marine have completed 13 out of 14 anchor piles in the harbor and will move to prepare moor-ing lines for the reposi-tioning of the floating breakwater, according to an update from Port Operations Manager Ed Field.

Work on the break-water will take place in the next few weeks. The breakwater will be rotated and repositioned, and eventually separated in two segments.

Over the next two weeks, work to install a new water main, electric ducts and other utilities will begin onshore.

The marina will be busy and Field advises the

public to be cautious of workers and equipment. The project is scheduled to be completed late this year or early 2014.

Dill wins library painting job

Freeland resident Craig Dill of House Painting by Hand has won the con-tract to paint the Langley Library.

The low bid was sub-mitted at $13,700, above the city’s budget to repaint the building, but “significantly lower” than the next lowest bid. Hand painting the building will minimize any impact to the library’s clients because Dill will not have to tape off the doors, which is often done when buildings are spray painted.

Mayor Fred McCarthy said the city received three bids, though Langley originally received none after send-ing out seven requests for proposals earlier this summer.

That issue led Public Works Director Maria Cablao to propose Langley simplify its con-

tracts to make it easier for smaller, more local contractors to apply.

Cablao proposed hold-ing the work until spring 2014, to which she said Dill tentatively agreed.

Council members approved the contract 3-0.

State rewards wastewater plant

Langley’s Wastewater Treatment Plant is one of Washington’s best at keeping the state’s water sources clean, according to state regulators.

Washington’s Department of Ecology honored Langley’s plant with the Outstanding Wastewater Treatment Plant Award for 2012. In a letter from the agency to Mayor Fred McCarthy, dated Sept. 12, the department commended Langley for “the superior performance of its waste-water treatment plant. The outstanding record of the City of Langley Wastewater Treatment Plant places it among the top municipal wastewa-ter treatment plants in Washington.”

Langley was one of

107 perfectly-performing wastewater treatment plants across Washington. They are considered the primary way to protect lakes, rivers and Puget Sound from contamina-tion. Since 1995, Langley plant has won the award nine times, including five times in the past six years.

Runway Reopens at NAS Whidbey

Runway 14/32 at Ault Field at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station has now reopened following the installation of a new arresting gear system. The runway was closed Aug. 5.

Aircraft that use Runway 14/32 take off and land heading either northwest or southeast. These approaches and departures will have flights going over eastern Oak Harbor, northern Camano Island, Anacortes and other parts of Fidalgo Island.

Now that both runways at Ault Field are open, there should be fewer flights using runway 7/25 which has landing approaches and depar-tures with flights over western Skagit County, Mount Vernon, the La Conner area, northern Island County and Lopez Island.

Field Carrier Landing

Practice or touch-and-go operations at Outlying Field Coupeville remain temporarily suspended until the end of the cal-endar year. Touch-and-gos will continue to be conducted at Ault Field, which impacts other air-craft landing and takeoff operations.

Comments or com-plaints can be directed to [email protected] or 360-257-6665.

High winds result in little damage

Strong winds with gusts up to 40 mph on South Whidbey knocked down a few tree limbs but did not damage any homes over the weekend.

“It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be,” said South Whidbey Fire/EMS Chief Rusty Palmer.

His department responded to three calls for blown-down trees Saturday and seven Sunday. Only two were tangled in power lines — the others had fallen across roadways. Some people briefly lost power, he said.

There were no injuries. There was, however,

one scare off Double Bluff Beach. Palmer said someone called in a kite surfer who tried to take advantage of the blustery beach but was having trouble on the water. By the time South Whidbey Fire/EMS arrived, the kite surfer was on shore and unharmed.

“The wind was really howling,” Palmer said.

THIS IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Dear Neighbor,

I am writing you as President of Citi-zens of the Ebey’s Reserve for a Health-ful, Safe and Peaceful Environment (COER). COER is a WA non-profit corporation situated in Central Whidbey Island, and is dedicated to the closure of the Navy Outlying Field Coupeville (OLF). The OLF is a 1942 emergency landing strip designed for aircraft of that era but is currently being used by EA18G Growlers and EA6B Prowlers based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (NASWI) for field carrier landing practice (FCLP).

At the outset let me state that COER has one and only one goal: to close OLF Coupeville.

The OLF immediately abuts Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, a 24,000 acre “National Park” which was established by Congress to protect and celebrate this culturally and historically significant area. The Town of Coupe-ville, the center of Ebey’s Reserve, is the second oldest town in Washington State and is a showcase of Victorian era architecture. Ebey’s Reserve preserves and demonstrates a way of American coastal frontier life that no longer exists. Ebey’s could be described as the Pacific Northwest’s version of Williamsburg, Virginia. Ebey’s Reserve is also an im-portant migratory bird habitat. Military flight operations conducted over this sensitive area are destroying thisNational treasure.

Navy operations are also severely dam-aging the lives of thousands of people who live in and around Ebey’s Reserve. Our children play baseball and soccer directly under the Navy flight path with jets less than 500 feet overhead. Jets fly over our hospital. It is undisputed that Navy FCLP operations are completely incompatible with residential develop-ment, and yet they are ongoing over residential areas of Central Whidbey.

In a 2005 Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared by the Navy with regard to bringing the Growlers to Whidbey Island, and again in a 2012 EA prepared in conjunction with bringing additional squadrons, the Navy inaccurately repre-sented the impacts of such deployments upon Central Whidbey. Those EAs rep-resented that overall noise levels would be reduced, largely because there would be fewer operations conducted at the OLF, and consequently there would be a reduction in adverse impacts upon the local communities. As the Growlers be-gan to transition into Whidbey however, those representations proved false.

As revealed by our group through inde-pendent scientific testing, human beings perceive the Growler as much louder than the Prowler. Decibel measurements at various locations around the OLF revealed highly dangerous noise levels from Growler operations. Instead of the promised fewer operations, flight operations at the OLF were expanded, reaching intolerable levels in 2011 and by 2012 they were 300% of 2008 operations. Because the Navy would not directly address our concerns, we were obligated to file a NEPA action in Federal court. Recently the Navy con-ceded the validity of this NEPA action and agreed to reopen the 2005 and 2012 EAs. However, the Navy is now seeking to bring in even more Growlers as part of this newly agreed-to EIS process.

The Navy’s misrepresentations have se-verely damaged its image and reputation in our community and elsewhere (as attested by the hundreds who view our website and blogs).

On Whidbey Island there is a growing discussion for total base closure. There is a movement on the north end of Whidbey Island to relocate all Growl-ers to a secluded unpopulated training facility. Further, people in other areas of the country impacted by military flight noise and training are watching our progress, asking us for help in their areas, taking lessons from what we are doing here. We are clearly having an impact with our single issue: closing OLF Coupeville.

It is undisputed that our cause is gen-erating tremendous public awareness. However, our objective to close the OLF has, not surprisingly, been mischaracter-ized and demonized. Business interests in the City of Oak Harbor to the north are afraid that closing the OLF might result in the loss of NAS Whidbey Island and have initiated a counter-pub-lic relations campaign. As a result our Whidbey Island community has become divided in an ugly way. A campaign has been started in Oak Harbor to boycott all Coupeville businesses, whether they support closing the OLF or not. Worse, threats of violence have been made against American citizens on record in support of closing the OLF merely for exercising their Constitutional Rights of free speech and seeking government re-dress. This is not how Americans should treat each other and is further damaging the image of the Navy and of our federal government.

I must emphasize, the members of our organization are not anti-Navy and are

not trying to close NASWI. I repeat COER is limited in its focus to one issue, one very small part of the Navy’s overall operations: closing the OLF.

As we see the situation, the U.S. Navy has always had and wants to maintain a sterling reputation and be honored rather than mistrusted and despised. It cannot flex its muscles and ignore its severe effects on its neighbors simply because it has the power to do so. The large con-troversy brewing here is without doubt tarnishing the Navy’s reputation.

People in four counties around NASWI are losing tens and probably hundreds of millions in property values due to Navy over flights. With current sequestration and defense budget cuts the cost to the Navy of compensating all those who are impacted by NASWI jet noise is poten-tially enormous and would devastate the historical culture and current economy.

Instead, our group wants to work with the Navy to structure a closure and transfer of OLF Coupeville. If the Navy agreed tomorrow in a binding manner to close the OLF, COER would close up shop and dissolve. Until then, we will be relentless and continue to grow our cause and protect our Whidbey Island communities and our historical way of life.

The Navy has many options and alter-natives beyond maintaining the negative status quo with its impacts on our phys-ical and mental health, property values, safety, and business growth. Claims that the Navy has no alternative other than to use the OLF are an obvious distor-tion, as proven by the fact that the Navy suspended all operations at the OLF last June in anticipation of our lawsuit. There are no FCLPs being conducted today at the OLF; yet training goes on.

Similarly, claims that an OLF must be within 50 miles of its main base also ring false when one considers that the Navy in Virginia Beach tried to move its FCLP to a new OLF in the lowlands of North Carolina, over 100 miles to the south.

We believe it makes more sense for the Navy to close the OLF and

conduct FCLP training at a safe, modern facility. Suggested alternatives are building a parallel runway at NASWI or moving the Growler squadrons to a different location altogether. We under-stand that the Navy facilities at China Lake, a remote unpopulated location, would welcome the Growlers with open arms. NASWI could continue to be the home base for the new P-8A Squadrons thus maintaining the Navy’s position in the Pacific Northwest without negative-ly impacting the residents of Whidbey Island and surrounding areas.

On the other hand, battling to continue the use of the World War II era OLF does not make any rational sense. The OLF is not safe for the pilots who train there, for the people of Central Whidbey who live there, and certainly not for the thousands each year that visit Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve.

This should not be a test of wills. The operations at the OLF are a serious cri-sis that needs to be addressed rationally. It is time for someone in a position of authority to stand up and acknowledge that a different solution must be found.

Continuing or, worse yet, expanding Navy flight operations at the OLF is simply not an option for Central Whid-bey and is guaranteed to result in years of federal litigation. We are requesting that each of you put aside any precon-ceived notions and work with us to find a solution to this problem before this social and cultural divide worsens. If we work together we can come up with a solution. We at COER stand ready.

Thank you.Ken PickardPresidentCitizens of the Ebey’s ReserveSeptember, 2013

Just a few weeks ago, the focus of this column was a tribute to Whidbey Island’s awesome September weather. Thirty days of sunshine, warm temperatures and healthy doses of Northwest fog.

How quickly things can change.

The weather rolled in and summer came to an end just like that, leaving us to scratch

our heads and wonder, “Can it really be over already?”In fact, fall arrived with all the delicacy of an angry

rhinoceros, unexpectedly claiming two greatly anticipated South Whidbey events — Children’s Day at Community Park and the Soup Box Derby in Langley. Both are annual affairs and were scrubbed by organizers because of stormy conditions on Saturday.

Both decisions were probably for the best, but that doesn’t make the disappointment any easier to swallow. Being robbed of those summer pastimes was a bitter pill indeed.

Volunteers put in thought, time and energy only to have their visions of a great 2013 event drenched by fall down-pours.

Of course the public lost too, especially those intrepid thrill seekers who had planned to race their way into his-tory at the Soup Box Derby. They sweated for months, some perhaps all year, building the perfect hotrod that would wow the crowds and successfully roll across the finish line on First Street.

For a newspaperman, who was looking forward to his first derby ever, news of the cancellation early Saturday morning was met with dismay. Page one had for weeks been planned around an imagined photograph of a fear-less racer. He or she would have been wearing bomber goggles, of course, and their eyes would have only just been visible over the rim of a wobbly steering wheel. Perhaps a red sash would have billowed behind them in the wind.

Images of Amelia Earhart come to mind and the ambi-tion would have been to capture a moment that might move readers to smile or, even better, inspire them to build their own Soup Box racer.

But it was not to be. While one team did refuse to capitulate, shaking their

fists at the heavens and making a run down First Street in defiance of the weather — see page 11 for the story — the rest of us will just have to wait for 2014.

In the meantime, volunteers will plan, racers will tinker and aspiring newspapermen will dream of pictures as enjoyable as the fleeting September sun.

HospitalHospital bond deserves supportEditor,

Until I started getting information about the upcoming bond issue, I really didn’t have any idea how many of our medical resources here on the island were dependent on our hav-ing a healthy hospital.

I was on the advisory board for the South Whidbey Community Clinic for many years, so I did know that the invaluable south and north island community clinics are a part of Whidbey General Hospital. But I hadn’t thought it through. WGH also provides our ambulance and EMT service, birthing

center, cardiac rehab, physi-cal therapy, home health and hospice, and out-patient cancer therapy. It supports a number of medical practices and a significant number of doctors on the island.

If WGH cannot keep up with quality care for its medi-cal/surgical patients, all this goes away. I understand there are those who say, “Who cares? Another hospi-tal can take them over.” But we wouldn’t necessarily get the same kind of locally- con-trolled care. As founder of Friends of Friends Medical Support Fund and the person who answered the phone for its first ten years, I knew that I could find a sympathetic ear at WGH — someone willing to work with us — when a bill was about to go to collections.

Does that happen in larger hospital systems?

I realize that voting for the bond will raise our property taxes a little. But I also know that Island County citizens pay less for their local hos-pitals than any other county in the state. That tells me that the folks at WGH really know how to stretch the dol-lars we do give them and still provide quality care.

Medical care today real-ly requires single-person rooms for a variety of rea-sons — among them infec-tion control, privacy, quiet for healing, and space to allow families to spend more time with their loved ones.

FerriesFerry-line-cutter story struck chordEditor,

Your front page article from September 21 on ferry-line cutters struck a chord. I am a part-time resident, and I am fed up with the line cutters.

I can really empathize with those who commute every day. I have thought for several years now that the new policy is ineffective and causes frustration and worse. I know when some-one cuts in front of me — I see red. I now have the cut line phone number entered in my iPhone, but I also

know it does absolutely noth-ing when I make the call.

Will it take a shooting before better laws, policies and enforcement are put into place?

In my opinion, eventu-ally that is exactly what is going to happen. If not in Mukilteo or Clinton, then at some other ferry dock. This needs to change and I hope my letter helps make some difference, whether it gets published or not. Please pass it on to state authorities who have the ability to change things.

ResponseNo more pizza man headlines, pleaseEditor,

Gosh, give pizza a break. “Pizza man murder on Whidbey” — he was not a notable ‘pizza’ man.

Surely we can focus on something more positive. Perhaps you could offer the pizza restaurants on South Whidbey a promo so folks can regain confidence in pizza.

I can see it now — head-line: We have great pizza here. And a photo of a great pizza and comments from all the great pizza eateries. You could do some research and describe the economic support all the great pizza restaurants provide for our community.

Murder photo and article should be on the last page, or like the 10th man on a base-ball team — left out.

Copy editing needs improvementEditor,

I’m basing this letter on an assumption. That assump-tion is that reporter Jessie Stensland and Judge Alan Hancock both know the dif-ference between partial and impartial jurors.

That being the case the fol-lowing quote is obviously an editing oversight: “He said any impartial jurors will be weeded out during the jury selection process.”

It appears to me that you really need to edit your paper’s content rather than depend on the writers to edit their own.

Just my 2 cents, our mile-age may vary.

THOM PERMENTERSeattle

Fire chief missed point of letterEditor,

I’m pleased the fire chief responded to my recent let-ter, questioning the spend-ing habits of that department over the last 23 years. I’m equally pleased with the ser-vice they provide in our com-munity.

I guess we could argue over semantics, as the chief does in his rebuttal, such as whether an increase in sala-ry is not really that, but just a cost of living adjustment. Or we could argue how many years the adjective “several” is reserved for, but let’s get

to the meat. My point in that letter was

that the revenue of our fire district has increased dra-matically over this span and that its spending practices seem based more on the vol-ume of that revenue rather than what I consider com-mon sense and the needs of this community.

Ironically (and unknow-ingly), the chief might just agree — with respect to that lusted-for new administra-tion building, he states “The board renewed a contract to redesign our proposed Bayview administration building to downsize and make it affordable.”

Is that the criteria – can we afford it? What happened to, “Do we need it?” But he goes on to say, “The station is on hold and not under consideration at this time.” Is not the cart in front of the horse here?

Why do we need a fire

boat whose upkeep and out-fitting will dwarf its $500,000 acquisition? Why have we spent over $5 million to build or remodel five fire palaces over the last 20 years? Why are we sitting on two expen-sive parcels of property they refuse to sell? Does it really make sense to duplicate emergency medical service? Doesn’t an efficient dispatch system warrant some bucks?

My answer is because they want to grow far beyond the needs of this community, and with a revenue that has mushroomed from $600,000 in 1990 to $4 million in 2013, they are doing just that. Where’s the brake pedal?

DEAN ENELLLangley

Cyclists have equal rights to roadwayEditor,

All sports have gear spe-cific to the sport. To edu-

cate you, Michael, the tight shorts are like the elderly’s support hose. They help reduce leg cramping and lactic acid build-up as well as padding for the less than generous saddles. The cute little helmet should be obvi-ous. Protection as well as ventilation.

I have logged thousands of miles on a bicycle as well as over a million miles as a Class “A” CDL semi-truck driver without a charge-able accident or harm to a motorist, so I understand both perspectives.

I, too, have received the finger from some of your motoring friends while driv-ing my truck just for being in their space on your road.

The side of the road is where the broken beer bottles reside after being tossed out of a passing

motorist is window. The responsible cyclist can use the roadway then move over to allow vehicles to pass.

Haven’t you noticed how few motorists signal any-more? With cell phones, putting on makeup, eating, reading, etc., wouldn’t you think God would have given us a third hand?

I pay taxes on two houses and several vehicles. My taxes and yours, sir, end up in the same pot. Your tax dollars don’t hold anymore esteem than mine do.

The issue here is much deeper. We have become a self-centered people. Our needs have become more important than the other guy’s.

Happy motoringDAVE HENDRICKSON

Falcon boys tennis sweeps Wildcats

South Whidbey boys ten-nis rolled against Archbishop Murphy on Friday, winning all five varsity matches.

The Falcons swept the Wildcats, who are in their first season with a boys tennis team. Both of South Whidbey’s

singles players won their matches in two sets, while the Falcons’ first and second dou-bles teams won in three sets.

Charley Stelling, a Falcon junior, beat Houston Schmutz 6-4, 6-3. Falcon head coach Karyle Kramer said Stelling took a while to find a strategy against Schmutz, a sophomore.

At the second singles posi-tion, Falcon junior Jonathon

Peterson defeated Wildcat sophomore Ryan Castillo 6-4, 7-5. Castillo led 3-0 in the first set and 4-1 in the second set before Peterson rallied to win both.

Falcon juniors Beau Blakey and Campbell Albertsen teamed for the top doubles spot. They battled Archbishop Murphy’s Quinn Stanley and Prieuer Pretorius for more than

two hours before finally win-ning 7-6 (7-5), 6-7 (7-2) 6-4. Lobs proved the difference, Kramer said, as both Blakey and Albertsen are proficient at getting the ball over the vol-leyers.

Trent Fallon and Andy Zisette, both Falcon juniors, ral-lied from a first-set loss to beat Dan Pzilnski and MJ Paric 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.

In the third doubles match, Falcons John Cary and Austin Drake defeated Ben Tucker and Bryan Lucas 6-1, 7-5.

Illness kept several players from the match, including senior Jack Hood.

South Whidbey and Archbishop Murphy face each other Wednesday.

For almost six minutes, South Whidbey’s football team led Cascade Conference rival King’s.

Then the magic disap-peared as the Knights chipped away yardage and time, keeping the Falcons’ defense on the field for most of the first half. The formula proved effective for King’s which won 35-14 after taking a 21-7 halftime lead. King’s holds the league’s top spot at 2-0 against conference teams and 3-1 overall.

Things started quickly for South Whidbey. The Falcons jumped ahead less than one minute into the game on an interception returned for a 50-yard touchdown. Falcon senior safety Nick French prowled the line of scrim-mage, watched King’s quar-terback Koa Wilkins drop back and throw to his left. French jumped the route, snatched the ball, broke one tackle and sprinted down the sideline for South Whidbey’s only score in the first half.

After that, King’s was in control. The Knights dominated possession and answered with a score almost five minutes later on a four-

yard run by senior Chris Yand.

South Whidbey, however, was forced to punt after a penalty and failed to gain a first down on its second pos-session.

The Falcon defense held tough on the next series, forc-ing a turnover on downs at their 10-yard line with the Knights in scoring position.

King’s ran a committee of backs to great success as the

Knights marched down the field to open the second quar-ter, including Yand convert-ing a fourth down. That set up a deep throw from Wilkins to junior receiver Ryan Fransen who leaped over Falcon cor-

nerback Charlie Patterson for the score.

Wilkins scored an 11-yard touchdown run with 1:31 remaining before halftime that put King’s up 21-7.

Out of the break, South

Whidbey and King’s had consecutive possessions with turnovers, including a fumble recovery by Falcon junior Deven Damerau. The Falcons couldn’t get a first down, however, and again punted.

The teams were stalemat-ed until Yand ripped a 51-yard touchdown with 3:30 left in the third quarter.

It didn’t take all the wind out of the Falcons, however, and South Whidbey respond-ed with its last scoring drive. French heaved a deep toss to senior receiver Nick Bennett who shook off a couple of defenders before being tack-led at the Knights’ 21-yard line. That set up another long pass by French, this one to senior receiver Uriah Beason who slipped behind the sec-ondary and cleanly caught his first touchdown of the season.

King’s stretched its lead to 35-14 early in the fourth quarter on another touch-down throw from Wilkins to Fransen.

South Whidbey fell to 1-1 in conference play and 3-1 overall.

The Falcons face the Lakewood Cougars (1-0 Cascade Conference; 4-0 overall) on the road Friday.

Six years of work culminat-ed at Lagoon Point last week when contractors wrapped up dredging work at the commu-nity’s small, private marina.

Up to 26,000 cubic yards of material was successfully dredged from the small-boat facility and redeposited along the beach to improve fish for-aging habitat.

The community still has years of environmental moni-toring work ahead but the heavy lifting is largely done, said Louise Abbott, presi-dent of the Lagoon Point Community Association.

“We’re just happy it’s done,” she said.

It’s been a long and dif-

ficult project, both logistically and socially. Permitting alone took about six years and the project has been a source of division among the commu-nity’s 465 lot owners, Abbott said.

Permitting headaches per-sisted right up until last week. The homeowners association was required to get federal, state and county permits but a hiccup in the county per-mit became apparent after the dredging contractor had mobilized on site.

According to Brad Johnson, a senior planner with Island County Planning and Community Development, the homeowners association was issued a permit from the department nearly two years ago but certain conditions were not met.

An included eelgrass sur-vey and mitigation plan was “not consistent with the origi-nal permit” and the problem took about six days to rectify.

“They ultimately complied with all our requirements,” Johnson said.

The green light to begin work was granted on Sept. 16 and work proceeded fairly quickly after that, said Andy Messer, chairman of the com-munity’s dredging commit-tee.

The project, which has been under discussion for a decade, was also a source of

fiery debate among residents. Hand-painted signs are speck-led throughout the neighbor-hood with messages such as, “Can you moor your boat at Lagoon Point? Vote no,” and “Stop the dredging scam.”

Three property owners with signs in their yards were contacted for this story but all declined to comment.

The underlying objection, however, is that the project will only benefit those with boats but is being funding by the entire homeowners asso-ciation.

Messer said there are 149

lots along the canal and not all are developed or have boats.

Some others also expressed concerns that the dredging work may under-mine or cause problems with bulkheads on waterfront lots.

Messer added that much of the criticism died away after the work began. Neither he nor Abbott could say exactly how much the project will

cost.“It’s less than $1 million but

by the time we tally it all up, it will be more than half that,” Messer said.

Conditions of the home-owners association’s dredg-ing permits require sev-eral years of environmental monitoring and that will be an unknown and ongoing expense, he said.


Controversial dredging project comes to close
