ROV CHAMPSpick up top prize, fame at Black Sea contest

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

Three girls from South Whidbey recently made inter-national headlines.

Hannah McConnaughey, Haley McConnaughey and Annika Hustad’s accom-plishments in underwater robotics earned them an invitation to the Black Sea ROV International Competition in Constanta, Romania. Not only were they invited to com-pete against other high school teams, of which most were “overwhelmingly male” in Hannah’s words, but they left with the first-place trophy for the high school division and as kind-of celebrities enjoying Americans-in-Romania status along the idyllic seaside walkway where the events were held.

After the five-day competition, the Whidbey-based Atlantis ROV (remotely-operated vehicle) squad did educational outreach. During a stop in Istanbul, the girls presented their work and a couple of micro-ROVs to an international school of about 45 students. They left the two small “bots” with the school, hoping to plant the seeds of another underwater robotics club.

“We’re definitely putting Whidbey on the map,” Haley said.

Traveling to Eastern Europe was a first for all three girls, ages 13, 14 and 17. Constanta (pronounced constan-za) also was the first time Atlantis ROV ever competed in

open water. Previously, the South Whidbey-based team practiced in

the Island Athletic Center pool in Freeland and, on occa-sion, in the North Whidbey Park & Recreation District

pool. Past competitions, after all, were held in controlled-environment pools such as the King County Weyerhaeuser Aquatic Center in Federal Way for the MATE (Marine Advanced Technology Education) Pacific Northwest

Regional competition. After this year’s MATE competition, at which

Atlantis finished in second place and missed out on qualifying for the international competition in Michigan, the girls had three months to build an entirely new bot. Given the conditions of open water,

they elected for a bulkier, heavier ROV. That meant sacrificing some agility and maneuverability, and lots of money and worry over its transport from airport to airport.

Rough seas and 12-foot waves cresting onto the beach meant the more robust robot was

a blessing, even if it was curse at customs. Other teams from Romania had smaller ROVs. During the first day, as teams were meeting each other, the McConnaughey sisters recalled other students question-

ing them on their roster — “Where are the boys? — and about the bot’s size.

Island Transit chief ‘retires’Action follows one-hour closed meeting with board

By JESSIE STENSLAND

South Whidbey Record

The embattled executive director of Island Transit quit Friday after a tense meeting with the board of directors and an hour-long executive session.

It was unclear whether the board asked Martha Rose to turn in her keys during the closed-door session, or even whether she retired or resigned. The board members voted unanimously — with Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson calling in — to accept Rose’s letter of resignation.

But afterward, Rose said she was retiring, not resign-ing.

Rose previously said she had no plans to leave, but changed her tune after the Oak Harbor City Council appointed Mayor Scott Dudley to the transit board on a temporary basis. He is filling in for Councilman Jim Campbell, who’s on an extended vacation.

Dudley made it clear dur-ing the meeting and in an interview with a Whidbey News Group reporter Thursday that he would call for her to be fired. He said the city council was also concerned about the financial mismanagement

County to pay $30,000 in fairground repairs

Annual event was held despite dangerous conditions

By JANIS REIDSouth Whidbey Record

The county will fork out nearly $30,000 to repair “potentially” dangerous elec-trical problems at the Island County Fairgrounds.

Facilities Director Larry Van Horn asked the Board of Commissioners for the emergency funding at Wednesday’s work session because “violations of this magnitude” needed to be repaired right away.

The property was cited by state inspectors during a routine inspection prior to this year’s county fair, but the proposed repairs did not come to Van Horn until after the annual event was over.

“He found a number of code corrections that are required, but it didn’t pre-vent the fair from going for-ward,” Van Horn said.

When asked if holding this year’s county fair was dangerous knowing that problems existed, he said, “Potentially, yes, to be frank about it.”

“That’s the purpose of hav-ing the electrical inspection,” he said.

Once the problems were identified, the county had a few weeks to work with inspectors and electricians to develop a plan of action. Van Horn said the problems are both lack of updated electri-cal wiring and hardware, as well as failure to meet

South Whidbey’s Kiwanis Club joined with hundreds across Washington and Alaska to continue funding a three-year fellowship for Seattle Children’s Hospital.

The Whidbey club donated about $1,000 toward the $75,000 total, said Ron Myers, a mem-ber of the South Whidbey club and the regional Kiwanis president.

The social club dedi-cated to improving chil-dren’s lives has worked on the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program for years. In the past, the clubs donated blankets for children being treated for various forms of cancer. This is the second time in two years that the Washington and Alaska clubs funded a fellow-ship that brings a doc-tor to Seattle Children’s

Hospital for three years — one working in the hospital with patients, two spent researching.

“There are more than a hundred doctors that apply for the three posi-tions that they open up,” Myers said.

According to an informational sheet from Seattle Children’s Hospital, 1,274 patients from Island County were admitted in 2013. Of that total, 173 were inpatient admissions. Uncompensated care costs totaled $1,042,317, and the Kiwanis want to help take a chunk out of

those costs. South Whidbey’s

Kiwanis will be holding their candy sale fun-draiser in November, the weekend before Thanksgiving, and again the two weeks before Christmas. Their other major fundraiser is the fireworks sale ahead of Independence Day.

Most of the money raised by the club goes to its scholarships for Whidbey Island students, but the club has made it a point to add a line item in its annual budget for the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program.

The Nightcrawlers Garden Club celebrated its 34th anniversary this month.

The club began meet-ing in 1980 with 13 mem-bers. The original plan-ning committee included Janie Gabelein, Karen

Jeffers, Alice Miller, Carol Spangler, Margaret Tagg and Pat Westling.

Today, the club has 26 members and continues to meet in members’ homes or island restau-rants. The group has 10 meetings, which includes

trips to Hummingbird Hill Villa and Garden, and Rocks and Rhodies at the Gibersons’ home.

The club also continues to collect food for the Good Cheer Food Bank each year.

Proposed fee changes are fair, builders say

By JANIS REIDSouth Whidbey Record

County fees for permit and consulting services could see a few changes in the near future, under a pro-posal being considered by the Island County commis-sioners.

David Wechner, director of Island County Planning and Community Development, unveiled Wednesday at the board’s work session changes to county fees for things such as land use per-mits, road maintenance and shoreline work.

While Wechner and local builders said they believe the changes are fair, county commissioners said they want to ensure the fees are not too high.

“We don’t need the price to be too bold,” said Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan.

The commissioners will continue their discussion about the proposed fees at a future work session.

Among the changes are the inclusion of a new $300 pre-application fee, which did not exist previously but Wechner called “an invest-ment.”

“That has a lot of value,” Wechner said. “All the infor-mation you get, help with the application process…

it all puts the goal post in the right spot. It’s the best investment you can make.”

Wechner said these fee increases are “simply trying to cover the costs” in most cases.

“The number of hours we’re putting in is stacking up,” Wechner said.

Staff time for pre-applica-tion meetings can take three hours or more in prepara-tion, research and meeting time and can include staff from multiple departments, Wechner said.

Vaughan said he wanted to make sure that an appli-cant’s time and money isn’t wasted with the pre-appli-cation fee if it’s clear their project will not be approved.

“I want to know what the county is going to do to con-vey that to the applicant,” Vaughan said.

Wechner said he and his staff try to give these “coun-ter denials” when neces-sary to save applicant and staff time. In addition, once through the application pro-cess, the pre-application fee is deducted from the permit cost.

Applicants will need to see a smooth application pro-cess if they are going to pay $300 for the assistance, said Commissioner Jill Johnson. She added that the fees also had to be “palatable” for the community.

“The community is only going to be able to handle so much,” Johnson said. “It has to be in line with our local economy.”

Offering an updated web-site that gives applicants the ability to self research and fill out applications should also be a priority for the county, Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said.

“We don’t have a website that is user friendly,” Price Johnson said. “There’s a lot we can do on that side. And there’s an education process in helping people use the site.”

In order to clarify the fees and the process, Wechner suggested writing an admin-istrative guide to accompany the fee schedule.

“It’s a little fuzzy some-times for folks,” Wechner said.

He also told commis-sioners that he met with Wayne Crider, executive officer for the Skagit and Island Counties Builders Association, and other stake-holders to ensure it was a fee schedule they could live with.

Crider said Wednesday that Wechner met with him, other builders, and Scott Yonkman, of Yonkman Construction who also serves on the Island County Planning Commission, for three hours recently.

They all agreed that the fee schedule is fair.

“We don’t like fees, but we

do understand that there has to be a workable solution for everyone,” Crider said.

“We’re glad to see some fees eliminated, glad to see fees reduced, and most increases are not that much.”

Crider also said that the fees should be fair to the individual homeowner as well as the larger construc-tion companies. In most cases, standard single home remodels will not be affected by the fee schedule changes, Crider said.

Other fee changes include the increase in price for a certificate of zoning compli-ance from $625 to $750, a new administrative setback reduction fee will cost $750 and a land use information response would cost $50.

The $500 15-day and $150 renewal determinations for critical areas would be elimi-nated completely.

However, new critical areas fees would be put in place, including $150 for an exemption authorization, $250 for permitted altera-tions and $1,800 for a critical areas variance.

Ebey’s Landing design review services would be reduced in price overall, but a $150 pre-application fee would be introduced.

County planners unveil new fee schedule Police set date for prescription drug take-back event

Island and federal law enforcement agencies will hold a prescription drug take-back event next week.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs will be accepted at the following locations: the Island County Sheriff’s Office, South Precinct, 5521 East Harbor Road, Freeland; the Coupeville Marshal’s Office, 4 N.E. Seventh Street, Coupeville; and the Oak Harbor Police Department, 860 S.E. Barrington Drive.

In cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Administration, law enforcement agencies across the coun-try have worked for years to keep prescription drugs off the street with take-back events. Over 4.1 million pounds — more than 2,100 tons — of pills have been collected, according to a recent news release.

The initiative addresses a public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of pre-scription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs, the news release said.

In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards.

South Whidbey Record

Ongoing property crime and its link to drug use have spurred community leaders to plan a public meeting in Langley next week.

Organized by Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, the meeting will run from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23, at the South Whidbey High School Commons, 5675 Maxwelton Road.

Planning for the event began earlier this month in the wake of a seemingly never-ending series of bur-glaries, which is often attrib-uted to increasing drug use. The problems have been a source of community-wide grumbling for about a year, but concerns have acceler-ated in recent months follow-ing the burglaries of several prominent businesses.

“Over the last month, it’s in about every conversa-tion — at the grocery store, the hardware store — so I

felt the time was right [for a community meeting],” Price Johnson said.

Shortly after planning for the meeting began, an armed robber hit Wells Fargo Bank in Clinton and stole a teller’s car. The suspect remains at large.

The meeting is designed to inform the public about what’s being done about the problems, which are not specific to South Whidbey. Burglaries and drug use are a county-wide problem, Price Johnson said.

Island County Sheriff

Mark Brown is also expect-ed to attend. Currently out of state on vacation, he said in a telephone interview Thursday he felt the com-munity meeting and the education it might provide is an important step in fighting crime.

“The more we communi-cate, the better the system works,” Brown said.

Coincidentally, Brown said he was already scheduled to attend another commu-nity meeting on South Whidbey this month when Price Johnson organized the one set for next week. Also open to the public, it’s planned for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30 at Woodland Hall in Maxwelton. According to Brown, its focus is property crime, namely the ongoing burglaries across the South End and Island County.

Next week’s meeting will address property crime as well, but specifically discuss its relationship to drug addic-tion. Brown said there is a connection between the two, but that it’s not yet certain whether it’s also at the root of more serious crime.

“Certainly property crime is related to drugs, there’s no doubt about that… but whether it’s specific to the robbery, I don’t know that to be the case,” he said.

Information on chemi-cal dependency programs and other resources will be presented for families strug-gling with addiction. Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, who is also chairman of the recently formed Island County Substance Abuse

P r e v e n t i o n Coalition, will speak on the topic.

People are frustrated with the ongoing problems, and the meeting will be a good way to “chan-nel that ener-

gy” and get the community to work together to prevent crime with vigilance and communication, McCarthy said.

Price Johnson agreed, say-ing government simply lacks the resources to do every-thing itself. Community assistance is a must, she said.

“To be successful, we’re going to have to pull togeth-er,” Price Johnson said.

The effort to create sewers in Freeland has taken a small step forward.

Last week, Freeland Water and Sewer District commission-ers authorized the creation of a draft purchaser’s agreement for an approximately 24-acre property between Highway 525 and Scenic Avenue. The land would be the future home of a wastewater treatment plant that would serve sewers proposed for about 77 acres of commercial property in Freeland’s urban center.

The land is owned by Jerry Stonebridge, and is directly adjacent to the district’s wells and the affordable housing development Sunny View Village, which is currently under construction.

Commissioner Lou Malzone, who serves as the board’s president, said the purchase of the property is contingent on several conditions built into the agreement, namely the results of future ground testing.

“The hydrogeological study is really the key,” Malzone said. “If the property is suitable, then it becomes, ‘What’s the price?’ ”

According to District Manager Andy Campbell, the ground testing is expected to cost $66,000, an estimate provided by Gray & Osborne, the district’s contracted engineering firm.

The board’s decision also authorized Campbell to seek cost estimates for an appraisal of the property, which must be brought back to the board for action.

Whidbey General COO leaves

There’s more change on the horizon for Whidbey General Hospital.

Chief Operations Officer Hank Hanigan confirmed he accepted a job as chief executive officer of Whitman Hospital in Eastern Washington. Hanigan’s last day is Oct. 11.

“I’ve had a goal for a long, long time to be a CEO,” Hanigan said. “Way back when, I set my sights on that.”

Both Whitman and Whidbey General are critical access and public hospital districts. Whitman Hospital is close to his children in

Spokane, he said.Hanigan has been with

Whidbey General Hospital since February 2010, and he said he’s worked hard to bring about positive change, such as updating medical equipment and helping to

bring patients back.CEO Tom Tomasino is also

on his way out after announc-ing that he will not renew his existing contract, which ends next year.

The PAWZ 5K/run and walk returns to Langley later this month.

For the second time, the event is a fund-raiser for the 4-H Happy Hounds Dog Club and the Good Cheer Food Bank’s pet food program. More than 100 people, many of whom brought their mutts, came out for a fall strut through Langley last year.

This year’s Sunday, Sept. 28, event figures to follow a similar course to last year and is once again open to pets as well as people, both of which are encouraged to don costumes.

Racers will go through Langley, along tree-lined roads, past the Island County Fairgrounds and along the Saratoga Passage bluff.

The top 10 finishers receive prizes. But not only the swift will leave with awards, as prizes will be doled out for most drool, shortest legs, biggest eyes, most active tail and other silly super-latives in honor of the pooch-friendly theme.

The 5,000-meter race begins at 9 a.m. with reg-istration available online at www.PawzbytheSea.com or the day of the race starting at 7:30 a.m. People may also regis-ter by visiting Animal Hospital by the Sea at 114 Second St., Langley. A kids’ run begins at 10:30 a.m. and is open to children 10 and younger.

Registration costs $25 for the 5K and $15 for the kids’ run.

Every racer receives a “goody bag” and a race T-shirt; dogs get ban-danas.

An open house fol-lows the races at Animal Hospital by the Sea with music, champagne and root beer.

Thanks Signage a symbol of cooperationEditor,

The shared vision of Whidbey Island residents of unobstructed access to our public beaches is steadily progressing; this will ulti-mately benefit the local residents, visitors, and busi-nesses.

Island County Public Works and the parks depart-ment are working togeth-er with the Port of South Whidbey to provide strong, consistent support in moving this forward. An economic development grant from the port is providing the financial means for the purchase and placement of improved sig-nage to access these public beaches from the land and the water. The Island County agencies are designing, fab-ricating, and placing these signs at public beaches. This is a great example of public agencies working together for the public good. I wish to thank Island County and the port for their leadership:

Bill Oakes, director of Public Works

Connie Bowers, assistant county engineer

Jan van Muyden, Island County parks superinten-dent

Curt Gordon, Port of South Whidbey commis-sioner

Dennis Gregoire, Port of South Whidbey commis-sioner

Ed Halloran, Port of South Whidbey commissioner

A responsive, cooperative, and effective government coupled with a welcoming and sustainable environment are essential elements in the jewel that is Whidbey Island.

Try a trash can next time, pleaseEditor,

A big thank you to whom-ever pitched their trash — three large drink cups and a sack of lunch debris — into the empty garbage can in the back of my pickup yes-terday. I appreciate that you did not throw it out your window as you were driving on the island.

Gratefully yours, RICHARD CURDY

ResponseChildren’s Center made a differenceEditor,

Our family had the privi-lege of being part of the South Whidbey Children’s Center preschool family for the past year and a half. As my daughter has now graduated from the center and entered kindergarten, I would like to share a few thoughts about my experi-ence.

From the daily rain-or-

shine outdoor play times to the small group meet-ings, the Children’s Center has made me feel confident in my daughter’s ability to not only succeed but to thrive in kindergarten. My daughter loved working on her ‘yellow book’ this past year, working one on one with her teachers to tell and illustrate her own stories. Creative games made counting and begin-ning math skills a fun and exciting experience, and Wednesdays with Music Dave expanded her knowl-edge of musical instru-ments as well as her joy for music.

All of the academic activ-ities were wonderful and exceeded expectations. However, the area in which I feel the Children’s Center is most superior in is that of fostering social skills and friendships. Without reservation, I can say that each teacher my daughter had worked hard to both understand her and nour-ish her unique personal-ity. They gently nudged her when they knew she was ready and quietly held

her hand when they saw she needed more time. Her teachers invested their time in understand-ing who my daughter is and how she works, and developed ways to help her break out of her shell and find her voice. As a result, my daughter transformed from a somewhat hesitant, quiet person to someone who is comfortable vol-unteering answers in a group setting and leading friends in imaginative play. Most importantly, she is a happy, self-assured child who loves school and her friends.

The Children’s Center has been a place where my daughter has been loved and valued and, because of our time there, I was confident and excited for my daughter to begin kindergarten. I know she has been given the best foundation for the future at South Whidbey Children’s Center and I am forever grateful for that.

Best,LINDSEY HENSRUDE

Atlantis ROV set an example for us all

Editor’s column

Whidbey Island was put on the global map this summer, and it wasn’t accomplished with a sales pitch, expensive visitor information campaigns or pricey renovations of public facilities.

It was done with good old-fashioned hard work and American ingenuity. A bit of community assistance helped pave the way, but the success of three young South Whidbey entrepreneurs at an internation-

al robotics competition in Romania this summer is really theirs and theirs alone.

Haley McConnaughey, Hannah McConnaughey and Annika Hustad showed us, indeed the world, that American still have what it takes. We make cool stuff that works.

Henry Ford changed everything with the development of the assembly line, NASA put men on the moon and Steve Jobs created the iPhone, a nifty little device that’s in way too many people’s pockets.

The team’s underwater robot, made of PVC pipes and old boat parts, won’t change the way humans live but it proved the design best suited for navigating and complet-ing a series of tasks in the Black Sea.

Incidentally, competing teams scoffed at the size of the Americans’ design — apparently we really are a society of super-sizers — but in the end Atlantis ROV members were the ones smiling, and holding a first place trophy in the high school division.

Perhaps there is something to be said about the old adage, “Go big or go home.”

The team’s success was made possible with financial help from the community. The trip to the Black Sea wasn’t cheap — $15,000 — and was covered with contributions from friends, neighbors and inspired South Enders via a fundraising effort.

Talk about money well spent. Atlantis ROV’s success on an international level not

only captured the attention of media outlets across the globe, from a national Romanian paper to stories in the Washington Post and Seattle Times — exposure that sim-ply can’t be bought — but it serves as a reminder to us all of what hard work, perseverance and imagination can accomplish.

Way to go ladies — you’ve made Whidbey Island and your country proud.

Cami JetvigCami Jetvig, 42, of Fargo,

N.D., died Saturday, Sept. 6, 2014, as the result of a car accident in Orlando, Fla., while on vacation with her family.

Camille “Cami” Julia Hoss was born Oct. 17, 1971, in Seattle to Robert and Merrilou (Archer) Hoss. Cami grew up on Maxwelton Road and grad-

uated from South Whidbey High School in 1989. After high school, Cami attended Arizona State University. On July 10, 1993, she mar-ried Chad Jetvig in Clinton and moved to Fargo, where they have resided since. Together they have three daughters, Madison, Elle and Makenna, who are Cami’s pride and joy.

Cami owned and oper-ated a drive-thru coffee business called NorthStar Coffee. She then owned the Daily Perk Coffee Shop for over 17 years. About three years ago, Cami opened Yuppy Puppy Dog Hotel and Daycare in Moorhead, N.D. More than anything, Cami loved being with her husband and daughters. Cami enjoyed family activities and vaca-tions, spending time with friends and relaxing at the lake. She will be greatly missed by all.

Cami is survived by her husband of 21 years, Chad

Jetvig; three daughters, Madison (17), Elle (10) and Makenna (10) Jetvig, all of Fargo; her parents, Robert “Bob” and Merrilou Hoss, Phoenix; sister, Terri (Kenneth) Hobbs, San Diego; three brothers, John (Trisha) Hoss, Issaquah, Todd Hoss, Woodinville, Wash., and Rob Hoss, Lynnwood; and several aunts, uncles, nieces, neph-ews and cousins.

Cami was preceded in death by her grandparents, Julia Hoss and Amos Hoss and Camille and Richard Archer.

Cami was laid to rest Friday, Sept. 12, 2014, at Riverside Cemetery Mausoleum in Fargo.

A public celebration of Cami’s life is planned for 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, 2014, at Useless Bay Golf and Country Club.

Cami Jetvig

Cross country teams take second at King’s

South Whidbey’s boys and girls cross country teams fin-ished in second place at the first Cascade Conference meet of the year at King’s High School

on Wednesday. The Falcon girls were led by

junior Mallorie Mitchem and senior Emma Lungren. Mitchem ran the 2.1-mile course in 15:21; Lungren in 15:55. South Whidbey’s boys were led by senior Cole Zink. He finished in second place overall in 12:41.

Eagles, Tigers trip up Falcon soccer girls

South Whidbey girls soc-cer is still looking for its first

win of the season after a 4-0 loss against Granite Falls on Thursday.

Granite Falls broke from a 1-0 halftime lead and held South Whidbey scoreless.

Earlier in the week, the Falcons lost 5-2 to Cascade Conference-newcomer Cedar

Park Christian on Tuesday. South Whidbey led through the early minutes of the second half, until Cedar Park’s Arielle Van Pursem scored the first of her two goals.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

In Arthurian legend, a seat at the fabled Round Table called the Siege Perilous would destroy any knight who tried to occupy it.

Only men worthy of find-ing the Holy Grail could fill its seat. Thus, there was regular-ly an empty chair until a man ready to go on the quest of quests — in Arthurian myth it was Perceval and Galahad — joined the court.

South Whidbey High School’s boys basketball program finds itself in a similar situation. Since 2005, the Falcons have had six dif-ferent head coaches, with previous head coach Scott Collins leaving for another position, first at Oak Harbor

High School and then Mount Vernon High School.

Enter Michael Washington Sr., who could be South Whidbey’s Holy Grail knight or at least someone who can hold the position. He was hired Tuesday and says he is

here to stay. “I will not leave after a sea-

son, after two seasons, three seasons,” Washington said. “My plan is to be there as long as they’ll have me.”

Washington joins the Falcons after leading the Oak Harbor varsity boys for the past eight seasons. He resigned in April because he felt he wasn’t ready to give everything the program needed.

During his tenure with the Wildcats, a 3A team in the WESCO league, he led them to consecutive district tourna-ments from 2011-2013. At the end of the 2013 season, the Wildcats were the second-place team and finished with a winning record for the first time since 1998.

Washington works as a life

skills and special education teacher at North Whidbey Middle School. He coached 22 WESCO all-league selec-tions, including nine who went on to play collegiate sports.

After a summer away from spring basketball and camps, he found himself missing the coach’s whistle. Spending time in the gym with his sons Michael Jr. and Drew, who are both playing basketball in college, also fueled his fire to get back on the court.

“It’s the right place, the right time, and it’s the right circumstances,” Washington Sr. said. “The principal is great, the [athletic director] is great.”

“I’m at my happiest when I’m in the gym,” he added.

Washington is known as

being an even-tempered coach. Whidbey News-Times sports editor Jim Waller, who coached with him as an assistant for five seasons and has covered Wildcat sports for five years, couldn’t recall Washington ever receiving a technical foul. Washington, however, remembers both technical fouls he’s been called for. One was for being out of the coach’s box, and the other, he says, was delib-erate. He let the referee know he was displeased with the overly hostile nature of an opposing team’s crowd until he received the penalty.

Already, Washington has connected with some Falcon players via social media and organized an open gym Friday after school to meet more students.

“The goal is to get them to accept me, to understand that we’re going to work hard,” Washington said. “We’re not going to win every game, but not lose every game.”

Later, he added that his main expectation was bor-rowed from Proactive Coaching, a Camano-based sports seminar.

“I have one rule for my kids I’ve had for many years, and I got it from Bruce Brown: Don’t let your team-mates down,” Washington said.

The Oak Harbor resident and retired Navy man said he is working with the school to sort out practice times, but that he’s able to hold boys practices earlier than they have in past years, which typi-cally ran from 5 to 7 p.m.

Former Oak Harbor coach to lead Falcon boys hoops

Michael Washington Sr.

be like, ‘Why is it so big?’ ” Hannah said. “It turned out to be a huge advantage because we weren’t buffeted around.”

Five tasks were assigned to the teams in Constanta. They had to pull out a rod of a simulated mine and bring the “defused” mine to shore, race through a series of gates in a time trial, return a 12-pound treasure chest to shore, and bring a neutral-buoyancy mannequin to shore. The latter task drew the head-line of a local TV station in Romania that, “Three young United States had Constance robot who saves people from drowning,” as translated by Google. They were also fea-

tured in a national newspa-per in Romania with a photo of the three girls and their bot “12” (so named because of its Seattle Seahawks colors and the girls’ home location in the Puget Sound area).

Robotic roots Atlantis ROV used to

have boys. The most recent of which was Christopher Wilson, who had to back out because of the nearly full-time commitment of 35 hours per week.

Chris left after the MATE regional competition, leaving Atlantis as an all-girl outfit; it was the McConnaughey sis-ters and Annika, who joined the team last year.

Hannah, a homeschooled senior, is preparing to find a college to pursue a business degree. She reflected on how as a young child speaking frightened her, but robotics competitions’ public presen-tation portions broke her stage fright.

“I was the shyest little kid,” she said. “I didn’t like talk-ing to grandparents on the phone, my parents on the phone.”

Eventually she became the team’s spokeswoman and public relations expert.

Robotics continues for Annika and Haley. They’re teammates on the nine-member, South Whidbey Academy-sponsored team, Robotics Anonymous.

Haley described the new team as having Atlantis’ ambition of winning the Pacific Northwest Regional title and advancing to the international competition. The work, she said, will be easier with more people than the small Atlantis squad.

“It’s a new experience with new goals, she said.”

Many thanks Atlantis was able to

travel to Romania because of donations and fundrais-ers. As a thank you to their supporters, the team is hosting a celebration from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 11 at St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods Episcopal Church, 5217 Honeymoon Bay Road, Freeland. They will have a slideshow of their adven-tures and discuss their expe-riences.

“should have been replaced years and years ago,” Van Horn said.

Van Horn assumed his new role as facilities director in May, after the previous director was out for nearly two years with an injury.

“It’s been a lack of focus that has let things get where they are today,” Van Horn said.

The $29,338 contract has been awarded to Clinton-based electrical contractor Jerry Beck and Company Inc. County commission-ers have placed the item on the consent agenda for Monday’s evening meeting.

Van Horn said, if approved Monday, work should begin immediately and will take a few weeks to complete.

“We have to do it,” Commissioner Jill Johnson said.

She added that Van Horn notified commissioners of the extent of the electrical problems a couple of weeks ago, and that the county was cited by the state’s Department of Labor and Industries.

The Fair Association has for years asked the county for assistance with the prop-erty and have been consis-tently ignored, according to Sandey Brandon, director of the Island County Fair Association.

Brandon concedes that part of the problem has been the lack of a facilities director, but that the county didn’t prioritize the prob-lems as well.

“Larry Van Horn is trying to play catch up,” Brandon said. “The prob-lems are nothing new and

nothing the county didn’t know about.”

Brandon said the Fair Association is in a sort of catch-22 because some facilities are not at a high enough standard to rent out and get a return on an investment for capital improvements.

“We can’t give them what they want so they’re unhap-py,” Brandon said.

While it was unclear who is ultimately responsible for the oversight, Johnson said she thinks due to lack of funding and electri-cal expertise, the Island County Fair Association, which manages the prop-erty, has been doing repairs “piecemeal to keep it going.”

“The county was not engaged in the mainte-nance of the property so it sat on the side and was neglected,” Johnson said. “Nobody wanted to take ownership of the problem.”

Johnson, who has been hesitant to fund the Fair Association’s requests for additional funding to prop-erly maintain the property, said Wednesday that she has “hit a wall” and will like-ly push to cut back future funding for the property.

“It highlights how many county resources are going to this facility,” Johnson said. “I know the fair is valuable … but in terms of all the things the county is tasked to do with limited

resources, this conversation is getting more serious all the time. This benefits one part of the county.”

Price Johnson, who has been a champion for the fairgrounds located within her district, said the fair-grounds are important not just for the annual county fair, but for the programs and businesses that use the facility year round.

“The property highlights how expensive some basic maintenance can be,” Price Johnson said Friday. “The downside is without ade-quate revenues this is the kind of thing that happens.”

Vaughan and Price Johnson made the point that because small invest-ments have not been made over the years, the county is now having to make some large, more costly repairs.

“It will only cost more the longer we wait,” Price Johnson said.

The Fair Association told the county earlier this year that they need additional funding to properly main-tain the facility.

Commissioners had already approved $30,000 in July for maintenance of the fairgrounds through next year. The fair association also received $30,000 for capital improvements. The county is considering a new management company for the property.

The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.

of the agency, which was why they appointed him to the position.

“They had no prob-lem siccing me on Island Transit,” said Dudley, who has a well-earned reputa-tion for firing people.

He said he would start going after board members if they didn’t agree to force Rose out.

“This is not a glitch. This is not a small mistake,” he said. “This is mismanage-ment at its worse.”

Dudley, who may be run-ning for reelection next year, announced this week that he spearheaded the creation of a new group, Citizens for a Better Island Transit. The first meeting was Thursday night.

Rose said she had planned on leaving Island Transit once the new facility was built, but then decided to stay on to help weather the financial emergency that came to light this sum-mer. The board was forced to lay off employees, cut routes and take out $2.3 mil-lion in bank loans to cover a deficit.

Rose said it became obvi-ous that her continued pres-ence was causing a distrac-tion. Many in the commu-

nity, including the Whidbey News Group, had called for her to leave the agency. She said in an interview that it didn’t make sense to battle with people who had politi-cal and personal agendas.

She said her retirement amidst such criticism was a terrible way to leave after 25 years, but that it won’t take away the joy she’s experienced in helping to build a nationally recog-nized agency.

“It’s been the love of my life, other than my chil-dren,” she said.

Much of the meeting was focused on Rose’s leader-ship and questions about financial issues.

“I am amazed at this

board’s patience with the Island Transit manage-ment,” said audience member Jeff Lauderdale. “Despite clear indicators of unacceptable performance, you continue to rely on your current director’s advice and counsel.”

Dudley was outspoken in questioning the financial information and sparred with Rose and Sandra Kuykendall, the former finance manager who was brought back to help with the books. Dudley stopped speaking several times to glare at the two women, who were whispering to each other.

Dudley interjected when Rose called him “Scott.”

“It’s Mr. Dudley,” he said.The board decided to

meet next week to dis-cuss the transition plan for management. In the meantime, Coupeville Town Councilman Bob Clay, as chairman of the transit board, is CEO of the agen-cy.
