Former South Whidbey teacher Eric Hood is suing the City of Langley in Island County Superior Court for an alleged vio-lation of the Public Records Act.
Hood’s most recent lawsuit is one in a string of legal actions stemming from the loss of his job with the South Whidbey School
District in 2010. The new lawsuit involves Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, who was the schools’ superintendent at the time of his termination.
In December 2013, Hood asked the city to turn over any records or correspondences that mention himself and “please search particularly for any records of communication involving Fred McCarthy,” his
request stated.In his lawsuit, Hood claims
that the city withheld documents from this request.
“Denying access to requested public records without claiming an exemption or basis for with-holding the records is a viola-tion of the Public Records Act,” according to lawsuit.
Hood has indicated in corre-spondence with McCarthy and
the City Council that he believes the behavior demonstrates a pattern of deceit in McCarthy’s leadership, both at the school district and in city government. Correspondence from both Hood and McCarthy was includ-ed as exhibits within the lawsuit.
After Hood lost his job in 2010, an arbitrator determined that McCarthy and the school district were justified in not renewing
Hood’s teaching contract. Hood then filed a series of open records requests and later sued the dis-trict when he didn’t receive the documents fast enough.
A judge agreed with him in a decision earlier this year and ordered the district to pay Hood a total of $7,150 for the “district’s untimely production of docu-

An Oak Harbor man accused of com-mitting a botched bank robbery Nov. 28 may be facing more than three years in prison, court documents indicate.
Prosecutors charged Joshua P. Freeman, 32, in Island County Superior Court last month with first-degree rob-bery.
If convicted of the charge, Freeman would face from 31 to 41 months in prison under the standard sentencing range.
Freeman is being held in jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.
Freeman allegedly rode a bus to the bank, donned a mask made out of a shirt and walked across the street afterward, where police found him rifling through the bag of money, according to the police report.
An employee at Whidbey Island Bank on Bayshore Drive called 911 at 10:30 a.m. to report that a masked man walked into the bank with a bag and demanded money.
The robber, later identified as Freeman, walked quickly in with a mask on and told two tellers to give him 100s, 50s and 20s; he didn’t display a weapon and none was found on him, the police report states.
Freeman allegedly left the bank with $5,900 in his bag, saying he was “sorry” on the way out.

Riding in styleHillcrest Elementary School first-grade student Trevor Jones exits a limo after a ride last year, a reward for selling at least 20 items in the Parent Teacher Association fall fund-raiser. Records were broken during the school’s Parent Teacher Association’s fall fundraiser. The students sold about $39,000 worth of items from a fundraising catalog, surpassing the goal by thousands of dollars. Students selling 20 items were rewarded with a limo ride with their principal, paid for by the PTA. Students selling 25 items got to bring a friend along. The PTA rewarded 62 students, sending out groups of about 13 at a time. The PTA is also rewarding the entire school with an IMAX 3-D viewing of movies. After expenses, the PTA raised a total of $16,506.

Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office seized about $23,000 worth of drugs during an early morning raid at Scatchet Head on South Whidbey, according to Detective Ed Wallace.
The sheriff’s office Hard Entry Arrest Team, which is similar to a SWAT team, served a search warrant at a home on the 3600 block of Casey Street in Clinton at about 5:30 a.m. on Dec. 18.
Wallace said the detective found what they believed to be a large amount of meth-amphetamine in the home. The largest bag weighed about a half of a pound. Deputies said they found smaller amounts of the drug elsewhere.
In addition, the deputies seized a large quantity of heroin, as well as LSD and psychedelic mushrooms, Wallace said.
A handgun and a rifle
were also discovered.The resident, Rebecca
McCarthy, 49, was arrested without incident, Wallace said.
McCarthy was booked into the Island County Jail on suspicion of possession with intent to deliver meth.
Wallace said detectives often execute search war-rants early in the morn-ing to help ensure that the
suspects will be home and because of safety concerns. He said they want to be done by the time any children in the home are heading to school.
Boy didn’t have access to gunsBy JESSIE STENSLANDStaff reporter
A 15-year-old Oak Harbor boy was arrested last week for allegedly making online threats to shoot students at North Whidbey Middle School.
Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said there is no evidence that the home-schooled boy actually had access to a firearm, but that such threats are taken very seriously by police.
Officers don’t know what the motive was and are still investigating, Green said.
“We’re not sure what the catalyst was,” he said.
The reported threats
were directed at three stu-dents, Green said.
The police report indi-cates that the threats were first reported to police on Dec. 29. The suspect alleg-edly used a fake name on Facebook and made the threats to shoot students at the school after the holidays.
In addition, the boy is suspected of sending instant messages over Facebook to a pre-teen girl asking her to send nude photos and boasting that he was going to shoot someone at the school, the report states.
The boy was arrested at
his home Jan. 2 on suspi-cion of two counts of mak-ing threats to kill and one count of cyberstalking. His bail was set at $5,000.
Because the suspect is a minor, the newspaper is not identifying him by name.
The case was the second gun-related threat made involving North Whidbey Middle School in the last few months.
On Halloween, a 14-year-old student was arrested after texting a message that he was going to shoot up a school dance.

Ask the ExpertAbout Memory Care and Alzheimer’s DiseaseMary Gould, EDKeys to Caregiving
One in four people will be called upon to provide care for someone with memory loss. � is deterioration of a person’s ability creates unique challenges and enormous stress for caregivers.
Studies have shown that a proac-tive program of education and support can minimize stress and provide for a healthier environment for the caregiver and the person with memory loss.Here are key steps for caregivers to take:
• Get a thorough examination: If Alzheimer’s is diagnosed during a neurological and psychiatric exam, often the test results will identify the areas of retained cognitive ability. � is can help caregivers reinforce a person’s remaining abilities.
• Educate yourself: Learn as much as you can about the disease, the latest treat-ment options and how it a� ects daily life. Books, videos, articles and seminars provide information about the causes of memory loss and how to cope with the struggles that memory loss brings.
• Attend support groups: Find a support group where you feel com-fortable. Not only will you receive excellent, practical advice from oth-ers who are going through similar struggles, but you will discover that you are not alone in the feelings and challenges that you face.
• Treasure each day: You will have good days and bad, but in each there will be something to treasure. Coping with life’s ups and downs helps you to remember to give thanks for all the good things, both past and present, giving us strength for today.

ISLAND SCANNER
By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter
To minimize disturbances to traffic flow and local busi-ness, a midnight move is being planned this month to wheel a World War II–era aircraft through the heart of downtown Oak Harbor.
The move of the PBY-5A Catalina will take place over two days, Jan. 24-25, with the bulk of the seaplane’s jour-ney happening in the wee hours of the morning before the city wakes up.
If all goes according to plan, the PBY Catalina will arrive at about 5 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 25, at its destination across Pioneer Way from the PBY-Naval Air Museum.
The aircraft is traveling about two miles from the Seaplane Base at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, where it’s rested near the museum’s former location since June of 2010, when it was transported by heli-copter from Skagit County Airport.
This time, the 15,000-pound aircraft is being towed by a farm tractor.
“Hey, we’re in Oak Harbor,” said George Love, a board member with the PBY Memorial Foundation and retired navy chief petty officer who’s supervising the move.
The PBY-Naval Air Museum moved into the building that once housed
Whidbey Furniture in June, leaving behind the iconic air-craft the museum is named after.
Wil Shellenberger, presi-dent of the PBY Memorial Foundation, secured a lease to display the aircraft out-doors at the former site of Boyer Chevrolet and worked out the necessary arrange-ments with the City of Oak Harbor, Navy and Skagit Valley College, among oth-ers, to ensure safe passage during the move.
Love, who works at the museum, said the seaplane is the constant topic of con-versation among guests and can’t wait for its arrival.
The aircraft was built in 1943 and was once based at the Seaplane Base in Oak Harbor.
“It should help out our museum a lot,” Love said. “There’s a lot of people who want to touch and feel and see that airplane. It’s a piece of history. It used to be based here. It will probably increase the number of people who visit the museum.”
Getting the PBY down-town will involve a “multi-organizational effort” with support coming from many sources, Shellenberger said.
The first step will be the removal of the PBY’s outer wings to allow it to fit through narrow spaces. Faber Crane of Mount Vernon is donat-ing its services along with
10 volunteers who will work together to remove the wings Saturday, Jan. 10, Shellenberger said.
The Oak Harbor Fire Department is allowing the wings to rest on flatbed trucks until the move.
The first move will take place the afternoon of Jan. 24, when the airplane will be towed through the lower campus of Skagit Valley College until just before it reaches Pioneer Way.
There, the PBY will wait
until the move resumes at midnight.
The route travels from Pioneer Way, along Bayshore Drive and back to Pioneer.
“The whole move will be very slow,” Shellenberger said. “Probably the fastest the plane will move at any one time will be 3 or 4 miles per hour.”
Tight squeezes are antici-pated that will require utility companies’ help to avoid over-head lines and tree branches. Puget Sound Energy and
Frontier Communications are providing support.
The tallest point of the air-plane is 20 feet. With outer wings removed, the width is reduced from 104 feet to 42.
The fuselage is 64 feet in length.
One tractor will tow the airplane while another trac-tor will follow, attached by straps, to provide braking when needed.
“We’re talking about a 15,000-pound aircraft,” Love said. “There are a couple of slopes we’ve got to go down.”
About five or six vehicles will be a part of the caravan to provide support and trans-port other heavy artifacts.
Also making the trip will be a 6,500-pound anchor and two 750-pound bombs, Love said.
A fence is being erected to encase the plane and other artifacts. A gate will allow visi-tors in.
That is, after their safe
arrival.“Right now, we don’t know
what the weather is going to be like,” Love said. “We might be doing this with it pouring down or snow. It’s got to be done. When we get all the people involved, you can’t change the schedule at the last minute.”
The PBY Memorial Foundation’s mission is to preserve all aircraft that have been based and flown from NAS Whidbey from 1942 to the present.
The foundation’s long-term goal is to purchase property and build a hangar-style museum in Oak Harbor.
But for now, it just wants to ensure one airplane’s safe passage through downtown.
“Everything’s on track,” Shellenberger said. “The big event is getting the wings off. We also have to finish the fencing. All of the other pieces appear to be in place.”

Appreciation day
Job of police officer carries many risksEditor,
On Jan. 9, 2015, Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc., or COPS, and part-nering organizations will unite in support of law enforcement officers nationwide to promote a National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.
In light of recent negativity directed toward law enforcement nationally, there is a need to show law enforce-ment officers that our citizens recog-nize the difficult and sometimes impos-sible career they have chosen, in public service to us all.
Can you imagine going to work each day and wondering if you’ll survive your shift and see your family that night?
Most people can’t. But in law enforce-ment, this is a fact of life.
Each day, 780,000 police officers across our country put a badge on and go to work knowing they may face extremely dangerous situations. Yet, they go to work anyway.
Being a law enforcement officer is
not just a job — it is a calling. The pay is low, the hours can be terrible and there is sometimes little appreciation for what you do.
Yet, they do it anyway.What the public doesn’t see is the
toll law enforcement takes to keep our communities safe.
On average, between 105 and 203 officers die in the line of duty each year; 50,000 officers are assaulted in the line of duty each year; 14,000 officers are injured in the line of duty each year; and more 300 officers commit suicide each year. There is no other profession in the world, except possibly the mili-tary, where you will find these kinds of statistics.
On Jan. 9, we call our nation’s citi-zens to action in support of law enforce-ment. Those citizens who appreciate law enforcement and are discouraged about the negative attention being given to law enforcement are encour-aged take time on Friday, Jan. 9, to show their support.
Our citizens can show their support in a number of ways:
n See a police officer? Thank a police officer.
n Wear blue clothing in support of law enforcement.
n Send a card of support to your
local police department or state agency. n Share a positive story about a
positive law enforcement experience on social media.
n Ask children in your community write letters in support of law enforce-ment.
n Participate in Project Blue Light. Proudly display your blue light in sup-port of law enforcement.
n Organize an event or a rally in sup-port of your law enforcement officers
n Advertise your support through local media outlets/billboards.

Seahawk fever is back — or did it ever leave?Regardless, the mania surrounding the team is a good
thing.Sports are often over emphasized in our society, but
this is not one of those times. These million-dollar athletes are paying back, drawing the region, including Whidbey Island, together.
In this time of political divide, distrust and decaying etiquette, anything that brings humans closer in a positive manner should be cherished and encouraged.
The days of unlocked doors are gone. Block parties are rare. Late-night strolls alone aren’t advisable.
The Seahawks are providing a healthy common ground we can share.
Green and blue bulbs light up porches, “12” banners flap from car windows and neighbors meet each Sunday to watch the Hawks.
This is more than jumping on the bandwagon of a suc-cessful team. Seahawk spirit has become community spirit.
And we have picked the right team to applaud. The Seahawks are greater than a one-hit wonder. Most teams that win the Super Bowl fail to qualify for the playoffs the following season. The incentives are gone and the financial benefits of the achievement often soften the will.
Not in Seattle.The Seahawks’ work ethic and desire to continue to be
successful, both on and off the field, should be emulated.Richard Sherman rose from a gang-infested commu-
nity to earn a degree from Stanford; Earl Thomas left the Super Bowl victory celebration to study game film; Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin overcame the stigma of undrafted rejects to become star receivers; and the char-ity work of the players touches thousands.
The Seahawks are the good guys — literally. And they are ours.
We come together to marvel at Russell Wilson’s escape acts, Kam Chancellor’s bone-jarring tackles and Marshawn Lynch’s quirks. We rise together to celebrate touchdowns and gripe together about play calling. We cheer a Steven Hauschka kick and jeer a Jim Harbaugh rant.
The keys to these statements are “we” and “together.” And we get to share these moments around Bud Lite, nachos and cowboy caviar.
Yes, these are special times, and the benefits will last far beyond the next game.
Thanks, Seahawks. Twelve is our new lucky number.
Seahawks fever healthy for community spirit

San JuanREHABILITATION CENTER
911 21st Street, Anacortes,WA • 360-293-7222www.sanjuanrehab.com
The staff and residents of San Juan Rehab (Anacortes) send the warmest of wishes and thanks to IHOP in
Mount Vernon for making a recent breakfast “the most wonderful time of the year”. Preparing seating for 17 people, including 10 wheelchairs, was no small task at 9:30 am on a busy weekday. But the restaurant staff not only did that, but dished up plates of patience, humor and various breakfasts for the whole group, with not a frown or hint of confusion, of which we created plenty! Andrea, our main server, was just a jolly, smiling elf who chatted with residents and showed the most caring heart. And apparently, Santa was in the restaurant that day too. In the spirit of the holidays, a table of complete strangers picked up the tab and quietly left before our group could extend our appreciation for their generosity.
Getting out and about for a holiday breakfast is a huge treat in itself. With the help of these caring individuals it became one of the highlights of the season, one which will be remembered long after the Christmas lights are taken down.
As I was raking the leaves on my property in Friday Harbor. I became very tired and had an over-whelming feeling of exhaustion. That wasn’t like me and I became concerned. I immediately thought of my multiple mini strokes in 2011. As a result of that I became a devote Vegan. I then equated my exhaustion with a possible heart issue so I called the Cardiologist’s offi ce in Mount Vernon requesting an appointment. After I explained my symptoms and reason for the call the young man on the line calmly told me to hang up and call 911. Before I knew it, the EMT’s were at my door and a helicopter was waiting to medevac me to Skagit Valley Hospital. Dr. Paliwal, Cardiolo-gist, was in the Emergency Department and he ran a series of tests which determined that I needed to have surgery. They sent me to Providence Hospital that day and I was introduced to Dr. Joseph Austin, Cardiovas-cular/Thoracic Surgeon. That day I had a double bypass with a valve replacement of bovine tissue. I have been at San Juan Rehabilitation center for 3 weeks now and I am feeling better and gaining my strength every day. I could not have recovered as quickly at home. My progress is the result of the wonderful empathetic staff at San Juan. Specifi cally Jason, kitchen staff member, who makes sure that all of meals are within the Vegan guidelines. He comes to my room daily to ask me what I would like to eat and he makes it to perfection. The Therapy Staff are a cohe-sive and consistent team and the Care Partners are all compas-sionate. As a retired College English Teacher I have devoted my time and energy to writing projects. I am excited to go home and begin writing a 30 minute play based on my experi-ence at San Juan Rehabilitation and see it come to life in an actor’s workshop. ~ Jim McCormick

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITORjournalism at its best.
The Truthout article is several pages long, making some interesting claims, theo-ries and hypotheses.
If all are to be believed, we should be up to our knees in dead birds and the rest fly-ing around aimlessly, cell phones and their transmission towers should be banned, and all communication should be done with two cans and a string.
None of which is going to happen. There are also statements of how much
flying and how often this may occur. Just because an estimate of how many
flights, days and training hours is allocated does not mean they will be there training everyday.
Claims are made that flight levels will be at higher altitudes, which is correct, and, yes, mountains do rise, and unless the access road goes to the top of the Olympics, they will be within authorized flight space as they are now.
I would also like to see some pictures of the person’s house who claimed the Navy was flying low-level supersonic flights and blew out their windows.
As far as my noise statements, I too live under the flight path and have for more 40 years.
When it’s “our turn” to be blessed with the sound of freedom, you live with it. No one forced you to buy in the flight path.
I appreciate the fact that the command-ing officer of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station is trying to appease those who are skeptical of the Navy and their intentions, but no matter how much information they publish, nor how open they are with flight schedules, there will be those who want the base closed and its financial security for the thousands who work there and those that benefit from the base gone.

Transit
Need to expand IT service to BoeingEditor,
Community Transit is planning on install-ing a high tech frequent service SWIFT bus route from Bothell to Boeing Everett.
This is good news for Whidbey.Island Transit can expand service on the
Island Transit No. 1 so that, every 30 min-utes, it gets on the ferry boat and goes from Oak Harbor to Boeing, intersecting with the new SWIFT service.
Already there is a large number of Boeing employees using van/carpools. More important, it means that now the entire island will have access to the entire Sound Transit System for Snohomish, King and Pierce counties.
Plus it will give excellent North-South Transit service for the entire Island with 30-minute service all the way to the last ferry run.
What the island needs to do is talk to the state Legislature and, yes, even consider a small local tax increase. The benefits of such an expanded No. 1 Island Transit will reduce unsafe traffic congestion and offer a new, low-cost alternative to people who can’t drive or can’t afford to drive cars.
It would also stimulate tourism on the island.
It is good for business. When people spend less money on gasoline, that means they have more to spend in local stores. Having the bus get on the ferry boat would free up some parking slots for drivers.
Expand the No. 1 Island Transit bus route. Have it get on the ferry boat, go to Boeing and tie into the rest of the rapid transit system of Eastern Washington.
It is worth it. Martin Nix

4 Wildcats reach wrestling finals
Producing four finalists and two champions, the Oak Harbor High School wrestling team placed eighth in the 30-team Everett Clas-sic Saturday, Jan. 3.
Jeremy Vester (138 pounds) and Jackson Con-stant (285) won individual titles, and Christian Bertram (126) and Mark Johnston (152) placed second.
Oak Harbor dominated the 285 division. In addition
to Constant’s win, Tyler Ad-amson and Sam Zook tied for third.
As a team, the Wildcats scored 92.5 points; Everett won with 158.
It was pretty much all-or-nothing for the Wildcats.
Oak Harbor was the only school to send four wres-tlers to the finals.
However, only one other Oak Harbor wrestler out-side the finalists and the 285 trio won a match. Nate Mecom (182) picked up one win in the consolation bracket.
Oak Harbor also did not enter wrestlers in three weight classes.
“We are going to look to our underclassmen to step up more in the coming weeks and help us climb to a higher spot,” coach Peter Esvelt said.
Oak Harbor (3-3) opens Wesco North action this week with its first home match at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 8, with Marysville-Pilchuck (5-3).
Bad 2nd quarter sinks Coupeville
A miserable second quar-ter haunted the Coupeville
High School boys basketball team in its 46-36 loss a La Conner Friday, Jan. 2.
Coupeville led 8-5 after the opening frame, then the Braves outscored the Wolves 17-6 in the second period to go up 22-14 at halftime. From there, the margin stayed about 10 for the remainder of the game.
“We had the opportunity to win,” coach Anthony Smith said, “but we didn’t take advantage of it.”
The Wolves had 18 turn-overs, many off unforced er-rors, according to Smith.
Wiley Hesselgrave and Aaron Trumbull each scored 10 points for Coupeville; Dalton Martin had seven;
Risen Johnson three; and Joel Walstad, Matt Shank and Aaron Curtin two each.
Shank added nine re-bounds; Curtin had seven rebounds and three steals; and Walstad had six re-bounds and two steals.
Coupeville (3-6) hosts island rival South Whidbey (3-6) at 5:15 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12.
Turnovers hurt Wolves in loss
Make mistakes against a good team and it will cost you.
The Coupeville High School girls basketball team found that out in a 63-31 loss at La Conner Friday, Jan. 2.
The Wolves had five more turnovers than points in the first half as the un-defeated Braves raced to a 37-13 lead at the break.
The teams were tied at 6 midway through the first period, then La Conner’s press started to take its toll on Coupeville. The eighth-ranked Braves finished the period on a 10-0 run and continued to roll in the second quarter, outscoring Coupeville 21-7.
While the Wolves were committing 18 turnovers in the first half, the Braves had only three.
The Braves (9-0) led 51-20 heading into the final period.
One bright note, Coupe-ville outrebounded the Braves 29-28 with Makana Stone grabbing 11 boards.
Stone also led the Wolves in scoring with 13 points. Kacie Kiel had six, Hailey Hammer four, Julia Myers four, Monica Vidoni three and Bailey McKenzie one.
The Wolves (6-4) enter-tain South Whidbey (2-4) at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12.

Dakota Powers won two individual events and swam on two winning relays to lead Oak Harbor over Monroe.
By JIM WALLERSports editor
Powered by wins in nine of the 11 events, the Oak Harbor High School swim team topped Monroe 98-68 at John Vanderzicht Pool Monday, Jan. 5.
Dakota Powers and Micah Geist paced the Wildcats with four wins each.
Powers won the 100-meter free-style (1:01.47) and 100 breaststroke (1:22.29), while Geist took the 100 backstroke (1:08.14) and 200 indi-vidual medley (time not reported).
The pair teamed with Eric Jensen and Derek Volk to capture the 200 medley relay (2:07.29) and with Volk and Joe Gorman to win the 400 free relay (4:22.52).
Gorman was also a double win-
ner in individual events, taking the 200 free (2:17.77) and 400 free (4:52.91).
Volk added a win in the 50 free (28.24).
“We only had 13 eligible swim-mers, which was disappoint-ing; however, I was much more impressed with the team spirit and effort displayed in the meet,” coach Erin Bull said. “Due to the speed of the meet, some athletes had a hard time recovering between events.
“We had quite a few personal records in the 50 free. Our next goal is to work on endurance and maintaining.”
Oak Harbor (3-2) takes on Stanwood (0-3) in its next meet, which is also the final home meet and Senior Night, at 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12.

ISLAND LIVINGWHIDBEY
By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter
Sometimes, just a single snap-shot in life can provide a bigger picture.
Nancy Cedar remembers such an expe-rience in the summer of 2013 while cleaning at the Greenbank Store & Grille when two customers caught her attention.
“There were two gals, probably in their mid-30s to early-40s, and they had big smiles on their faces,” Cedar said. “One of them was kind of wandering around and she stopped at a place on the floor.”
Cedar re-enacted how the woman pressed her feet on a section of hardwood, causing the floor to squeak, and will never forget what she heard her say.
“She turned to her girl-friend and said, ‘It squeaks in just the same place it squeaked when I was a little girl.’ Together, they were in such joy at that moment.”
It is experiences like those that only reinforced to Nancy and Brian Cedar that their decision to come to Whidbey Island and rescue an island institution was the right move.
Even though at the time they didn’t fully understand what re-opening the general store and restaurant inside a historic, iconic building would truly mean to residents of Greenbank and other island communities.
When the Cedars bought the business in December of 2011 and planned for a grand re-opening two months later, their intentions were to scrap the store and expand the res-
taurant to include downstairs dining.
That plan lasted about a week.
“We bought a restaurant,” Nancy Cedar said. “What happened is during the reno-vation, we left the door open so people could come in to talk to us.”
And talk they did, with one recurring, powerful senti-ment: asking if they could kindly keep the store open,
too.After all, the
Greenbank Store, built in 1904, had been around for more than a century, moving from the waterfront to its present-day location off State Highway 525 in the 1930s.
Brian Cedar jokes as if there were no choice in the matter when initially present-ing his restaurant-only
concept to locals.“We were quickly told by
people who live there, ‘That’s not what you’re going to do at all,’ that we were going to have a store here,” he said.
The Cedars are happy they listened.
Their commitment to the store, restaurant and commu-nity has been rewarded with strong business in their third year of operation.
They admit they struggled mightily their first year, gained traction the second and “made a living” in a bus-tling third year.
They bought a home on Whidbey in 2014.
“We have a viable business after three years,” Nancy Cedar said. “But we work ferociously hard. This is our life now. We are really com-mitted to this.”
“The people here have been just incredible in terms of their support of this place,” Brian Cedar said. “Many of the people who are here grew up with this place being their store. That’s what we’ve tried to create, not only in the restaurant, but in the store itself, a feeling that this is your store.”
The building carries a rus-tic charm, featuring a general store and deli downstairs and restaurant and bar upstairs.
Historic Greenbank photos cover the walls, as well as images of family and citizens dear to the Cedars and the community.
Brian Cedar is the head chef in the restaurant that provides a lunch and dinner menu that consists of “com-fort food in a comfortable environment” with popular items such as fish and chips, half-pound hamburgers and “Cookie’s Special Reuben Sandwich” to go along with dinner dishes that feature pasta, seafood and traditional meats.
Cedar once owned a small restaurant in Hawaii and worked in several restaurants
in his younger years but hadn’t worked in the industry for three decades until now.
He and his wife were semi-retired and living in Sammamish when they start-ed looking for a restaurant venture and were on their way to visit a prospective site in Coupeville when a vacant and near-empty Greenbank Store caught their attention from the highway.
“I looked over and thought, ‘How sad that that old store has been shut down, because it is such a soulful place,’ ” Brian Cedar said.
The Cedars bought the store and upstairs restaurant called the 1904 Public House
from Kate Buzard and Amy Wheeler; however, they still lease the building from long-time store owners Tom and Mary Coupe.
When the Cedars held a grand re-opening on Feb. 29, 2012, the Coupes were their featured guests.
“We thought leap year was a wonderful day to open because it was such a leap for us,” Nancy Cedar said.
However, the landing has made it worth it. During the busiest time of the year in the summer, the store and restaurant employ as many as 20 people.
The Cedars have settled into life on Whidbey and
now can’t imagine being any-where else. They have two daughters who work in the business; Robin Cedar, the assistant store manager, and Julietta Cedar, who assists in various tasks and is the fam-ily artist.
Julietta, 24, who is autistic, has been warmly embraced by customers.
“Our community is abso-lutely charmed by her,” Nancy Cedar said.
As the Cedars are with their new community.
“There are so many people who come up and say, ‘We are so grateful you are here,’ ” he said. “It chokes me up a little bit.”
There’s a lot more history in store

Nancy and Brian Cedar, owners of Greenbank Store & Grille, are realizing the rewards of hard work after three years in business.
With the iconic store remaining a part of the Cedars’ business plan, locals in Greenbank couldn’t be happier. The store includes a deli, where sandwiches are prepared by Jan Faulkner and others. Upstairs is a restaurant that serves lunch and dinner. During winter, the restaurant is open Thursday through Sunday with dinner only served on Thursdays.
A painting by late Greenbank artist Glen Russell rests on a wall outdoors.
Three years after Greenbank Store purchase, establishment is thriving
p.m. Everyone who shows up in their Seahawks gear is invited to be in the aerial photo.
“We’re just trying to get all the Seahawk fans that are local together and have a good time and show our support for the team that we all love,” Sanders said. “We thought that would be a good way to keep it local and show our support to our community here.”
Robyn Kolaitis, owner of Whidbey Party Store, said she is preparing for added business that Seahawks suc-cess will bring to her store.
“We’re stocked up already. We’re ready,” Kolaitis said. “We hope to see some par-ties this weekend.”
Kolatis said her store is ordering additional
Seahawks-themed items for the coming weeks in antici-pation of the football team’s continued advancement toward the big game.
“We actually sold out of green and blue balloons, the Seahawk balloons, the foot-ball balloons last year,” she said.
“Twelfth man flags just flew out the door.”
Many people wait until the last minute to place bal-loon orders, Kolatis said.
Last year, she and her two employees spent the entire Saturday before the Super Bowl filling balloon orders.
Last year was “crazy, fun and busy,” she said.
Oak Harbor’s Albertson’s store also carries a supply of Seahawks gear. Manager Eugenia Jones said she’s noticed that sales of T-shirts and scarves is already pick-ing up speed.
It’s not the case yet with the party supplies. She said many people wait until the
last minute to buy those items.
The store, however, is ordering playoff gear and new National Football Conference championship gear.
“Last year was crazier than this year,” Jones said. “We couldn’t get the boxes open without people hover-ing around us.”
“I’m excited to see so many groups get into it again this year,” Kolaitis said.
Penny Perka, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County, beneficiary of Louie-G’s rally proceeds, said she is excited for the postseason games and what they mean for the community.
“I’m excited,” she said.“I’m excited for the year. I
like the idea that people are excited about the Seahawks and also, they’ve taken their excitement and … are sup-porting local charities and kids.”
The first police officer to arrive at the bank saw Freeman walking east along State Highway 20 and going behind a condo-minium complex before crossing the street to kneel next to a pillar near the former WhidBerry business, the report states.
The officer asked one of the victims to come out of the bank and look across the street at Freeman.
The woman identified Freeman as the sus-pected robber, the report states.
Freeman was still kneeling behind the pil-lar, digging into the backpack when the two officers walked up to him.
Freeman allegedly admitted to robbing the bank, the report states.
Freeman said he and his girlfriend were sick from heroin withdrawal. He said he couldn’t take it anymore and decided to rob a bank, explaining that it was something he had thought about doing before, the report states.
“Freeman states he was going to use the money to get well by buying heroin,” the report states. “Freeman states he had been going through withdrawal for the last two days.”

ments.”McCarthy said Tuesday
that Hood’s determination to find fault with the decision is “beyond persistent — it’s obsessed.”
McCarthy said he believes that the school district under his leadership “provided him everything we were legal-ly advised to do” but that Hood’s repeated requests likely became a “source of frustration” for the district.
McCarthy said Hood’s pattern of filing ongoing requests is a good exam-ple of how school districts and city governments can become “beleaguered” with
filling some public records requests.
“It’s amazing how much time it takes when you feel like you’re doing the right thing,” McCarthy said. “It consumes tons of peoples’ time.”
Hood’s lawsuit also takes issue with a “secure confiden-tial file” kept by McCarthy that Hood believes contains the documents he requested. Hood claims in his lawsuit that “the city silently with-holds all records” contained in the “confidential” file.
In a December 2013 email sent by McCarthy to the City Council, McCarthy said that most of Hood’s requested documents are “in a secure confidential file” that he maintains but that he would
release the documents “with-in a reasonable timeline in January 2014.”
McCarthy also told City Council members via corre-spondence to keep in mind that any “communications on this matter may be discover-able in the future.”
Given Hood’s history for requesting documents, McCarthy said Tuesday that keeping a file contain-ing documents concerning Hood is simply a proactive step in dealing with someone litigious. He added that all documents contained in that file have been given to Hood and all future documents will also be available.
Hood declined to comment.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity 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 de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

By JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey Record
Asking the South Whidbey School District for public records comes with a new price tag these days — your name, the information sought and the time and cost to fulfill the request posted for all the world to see on the district’s website.
Beginning late last month, such details were included in a specially created document
linked to online school board agendas.
The move comes in the wake of years of litigation with a single Clinton man, a former teacher who officials say has cost the district hun-dreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees and who has besieged administrators with what school leaders charac-terize as broad and time-con-suming information requests.
Top district officials deny
the online posting policy is retaliatory, but rather is meant to keep the school board informed about the burden requests, both legiti-mate and superfluous, place on employees.
“It’s really just to give the board the transparency of knowing where staff is spend-ing its time and resources,” said Jo Moccia, district super-intendent.
School board members
add, however, that there are problems with the state’s Open Public Records Act, specifically that its lack of limitations make it ripe for abuse.
Making public who is asking for documents and the cost to district taxpay-ers, is a way to address the issue. Those with reasonable requests have nothing to hide, they say.
“I find it to be the per-
fect response … If someone has a legitimate request they should own it,” Director Linda Racicot said.
“We’re just making peo-ple responsible,” echoed Director Rocco Gianni, a board member and an advo-cate for the inclusion of such information online.
“With rights come respon-sibility,” he said.
Legal expensesThe move is tied into
ongoing litigation with Eric Hood, whose employment contract was not renewed by the district in 2010. Hood sued, claiming he was let go without cause and later sued again for alleged pub-lic records violations. He is presently fighting two sepa-rate battles with the school district, one in U.S. District Court and another in Island County Superior Court.
Most recently, he filed suit against Langley and Mayor Fred McCarthy in Island County Superior Court for alleged public records act vio-lations. McCarthy is Moccia’s predecessor and was school district superintendent in 2010 when Hood’s contract was not renewed.
Hood declined to be inter-viewed for this story, or the story about his lawsuit with McCarthy.
Racicot, Gianni and Moccia also declined to talk about the ongoing litigation, but each noted that the cost of such legal battles and complying with records requests over the past four years has been expensive and played a role in the decision to create a special document highlight-ing who is making requests and their cost.
The exact figure remains unclear, but according to Moccia, the district’s legal bills are “in the neighbor-hood of $400,000.”
“That’s not all one case, but much of it is Hood,” she said.
The legal budget for the 2014-2015 school year alone is $175,000, all of which is general fund money that could otherwise be directed toward students.
An old problemSouth Whidbey’s chal-
lenges with the state’s record laws are nothing new, as small junior taxing districts and large municipalities alike have grappled with the prob-lem for years.
While most are able to keep up with the demand placed on resources, in rare and extreme cases it’s led some public agencies to near collapse. The tiny Eastern Washington town of Mesa
considered bankruptcy or disincorporation in 2009 after a judge ruled it had violated the state’s records laws, according to the Seattle Times. Fines made up nearly one-third of the town’s annu-al budget, the newspaper reported.
It’s enough of an issue that in 2012 the Legislature considered a bill to limit the reach of the open public records act and lessen the burden on struggling govern-ments. Among its sponsors was Mary Margaret Haugen, the former and longtime state senator in District 10.
Open government advo-cates objected, saying the proposal would dull the effec-tiveness of the records act to the benefit of government officials.
The bill was not passed.
S. Whidbey’s solutionWhile legislative changes
have yet to occur, South Whidbey school officials say they aren’t alone in their decision to publicly identify requestors.
The district has had the policy framework in place since early 2014 but only moved forward after Gianni suggested they use the same reporting form as the Monroe School District. Also, it waited until district attorneys had confirmed the practice was legal and didn’t breech state privacy laws.
Officials with the Coupeville and Oak Harbor school districts did confirm that neither identifies people who make records requests, but that they aren’t afflicted with large and numerous records requests.
“If we get four in a year, that’s a lot,” said Janet Wodjenski, public records officer for Coupeville. “Some years we don’t get any at all.”
She added that she could see how someone with a “bee in their bonnet” could cre-ate a large workload and that she doesn’t see any problem with including such informa-tion in online board agen-das because of the possible impacts to district business.
Lance Gibbon, superinten-dent in Oak Harbor, didn’t weigh in on whether such a practice was appropriate, but he did say he can see how large requests could be problematic.
Despite few requests, last year an out-of-state company asked for information con-cerning district supply orders for commercial purposes. It amounted to 54,000 pages of records, all of which had to be reviewed by an employee.
“It took one person five days of work,” Gibbon said.
