Dept. heads plead for new hires

Reps call for changes at state Ferries

By JERRY CORNFIELD

Staff reporter

Washington’s newest ferry went into service Monday amid the concerns of two lawmakers that a flawed design is causing some vehicles to bottom out as they transition from ramps onto upper parking decks.

Under a blanket of blue sky, the Tokitae sailed on its maiden voyage at noon from Clinton to Mukilteo, with no fanfare.

The 144-car vessel, with a capacity 20 cars more than the Cathlamet it is replacing, cost $144 million and is the first of three Olympic-class boats being built for the state at the Vigor Industrial shipyard in Seattle.

Total shipyard cost for the newest boats in the Washington State Ferries fleet is $388 million.

The Tokitae’s much-anticipated entry into service came as two lawmakers alleged they were misled about a problem for some cars with low clearances and long wheelbases. As they reach the upper parking deck, the lawmakers say, some scrape their undercarriage.

Reps. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, and Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor, said senior ferry system managers told them in March at the shipyard that their worries SEE FERRIES, A17

Their target was silver salmon, or coho, which became legal to catch in waters on the west side of Whidbey Island starting July 1.

Oak Harbor’s police chief wants five additional officers, the fire chief wants four new firefighters and the city administrator wants his own administrative assistant.

Wednesday, Oak Harbor officials made their opening salvos in the city’s process of developing a biennium budget by presenting council members with funding requests.

The process is somewhat different this year in that council members will hear the requests and do goal setting before a two-year revenue estimate is developed, according to Finance Director Doug Merriman.

OH’s annual fantastic Fourth filled with fun

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Independence Day is a time of nationwide celebration, and Whidbey Island is no exception.

Oak Harbor has held its Fourth of July parade for decades, and it’s always been a popular event.

“The best part about it is that it is a full day of family fun,” said Kathy Reed, executive director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce.

“Something that the whole family can do together.”

People from all across the island descend upon Oak Harbor for the day’s parade, carnival and nighttime fireworks show, sponsored by businesses and residents in Oak Harbor.

This year’s grand sponsor is Whidbey Coffee.

People are known to plan vacations to Whidbey Island specifically for the Independence Day festivities.

“There just aren’t that many celebrations like ours, especially ones that have a good fireworks show at the end of the day,” said Reed.

The great part about Oak Harbor’s celebration is that the festivities start at 7 a.m. and last until almost midnight, and that “there’s something for everyone,” Reed said.

Visitors go from the fun of the parade to a relaxing day at Windjammer Park and, at the end of the day, “you get to cap it off with a fantastic fireworks show.”

South Whidbey port looks at taking over fair property management

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

Boat launches, marinas and leasing land for a cell tower, but the Island County Fairgrounds?

In a surprise move last week, Port of South Whidbey commissioners voted unanimously to consider taking over management of the Langley property, a job currently performed by the Island County Fair Association.

That decision — approved by commissioners Curt Gordon, Dennis Gregoire and Ed Halloran — was nothing more than a promise to begin a dialogue with county officials, but board members made it clear they are interested.

“There’s great opportunity there as an Island County event center,” said Gordon, president of the board. “It

fits the port’s mission; it fits the port’s taxing authority. It is probably prudent, at least, that we look into this.”

He emphasized that any future agreement with Island County, which holds the deed to the nearly 13-acre fairgrounds, would be limited to stewardship of the property and not orchestrating the annual event itself.

“I want it to be clear that … we want to support the fair, but don’t want anything to do with running a fair,” Gordon said.

That’s just fine with leading fair association members.

Diane Divelbess, president of the group, said Thursday that the proposal was “exciting,” as it might be a solution to the funding headaches that have plagued the fairgrounds. The problem is so severe that the nonprofit association has threatened to back out of its existing lease

with the county to maintain the property and its 27 buildings unless the county agrees to provide the group with more money.

It is not, however, interested in relinquishing its role of putting on the four-day event.

“We have no intention of not managing the fair — we’re good at it,” Divelbess said.

Wednesday’s decision came at the urging of Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson.

Johnson attended the port’s special meeting in Freeland and said recent discussions about the fairground’s future made it clear that Island County should not be in the property management business.

Johnson said she wasn’t there with a formal offer, just a pitch to discuss the possibility of a future partnership.

“What I’m not prepared to

do is propose marriage … but I would like to ask the board if we could seriously date — not a one-night stand, but seriously date,” Johnson said.

Earlier this year, fair visionaries unveiled the Island County Fairgrounds Master Plan, a proposal to turn the facility into an island event center over a 10-year period and to the tune of more than $10 million. The plan called for the demolition of about half of the ground’s existing structures.

“What became clear in that process is that for the fairgrounds to reach its full potential, it needs active management,” Johnson said, adding that the port and its mission for economic development may be just the organization to pull it off.

Halloran questioned the financial viability of the proposal and Gregoire the chal-

lenges of stacking it onto the port’s existing workload, but both ultimately agreed to investigate further.

Gordon, who seemed the strongest supporter of the proposal, argued that the potential for “economic development” — a port’s primary duty — is there, but it’s also a chance to nurture and preserve something precious. “(The Fairgrounds) is one of the few last cultural pieces that South Whidbey has,” Gordon said.

“What that means is you don’t go full throttle just because it makes you the most money,” Gordon said.

“You gotta make sure you respect the unique rural character and environment of South Whidbey Island, and I think we could do the best job of anybody.”

Divelbess said the association is “quite capable” of managing the property, but

not under the terms of its current lease agreement with Island County, which provides $30,000 per year in capital funding.

She maintains the job requires three times that, about $100,000, which is why association leaders recently told the county commissioners they would not renew the existing lease when it expires Sept. 30 unless they are supplied with additional funding.

That ultimatum may have been a precursor to Johnson’s proposal.

“The county knows if we don’t get any money, we’ll pull away from property management,” she said.

Divelbess said having a new landlord might result is some initial “do-si-doing” over event schedules, but that she is hopeful that such an arrangement would be beneficial to all.

What does it mean to be American?

As you make your way to work, to a picnic, or to the park this Fourth of July, take a good look around you. What does it mean to be in America, sharing in a celebration of freedom and opportunity?

Some of us are lucky enough to have never known anything different.

Some of us have had to work hard to earn this freedom.

Soldiers in our armed forces have put their lives at risk for it. And some immigrants have given up all that they know and own to come and contribute to it. There are hundreds of ways to be American, and this Fourth of July is the day we all come together to celebrate our freedom.

Independence Day might mean eating fish tacos and playing baseball, or maybe meeting up with other Eastern European families at the church hall for dancing and a potluck meal. It might mean burgers, potato salad, and strawberry pie in Aunt Ethel’s backyard after a patriotic parade through town. It might just mean doing the day shift at the superstore that chooses to stay open for last-minute grocery shoppers.

Ask around and see what it is that others think makes this country a fine place to live. For some real thought-provoking fun, see what children have to say about being American.

Whether it’s all about having the freedom to choose a career that suits you or being able to defend yourself in a fair court of justice, every answer will shine some light on why we choose to be here.

Happy Fourth of July!

Food drive to decide donkey’s department affiliation

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

A

s part of the North Whidbey Help House’s Christmas in July, the Oak Harbor police and fire departments are holding a competitive food drive.

The food drive is running now through July 31.

The organizations are accepting all non-perishable food donations at the Oak Harbor Fire Department, Oak Harbor Police Department and Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce.

Because it is a competition, donors are encouraged to give their food contributions to whichever department they want to win.

The winners will have a department uniform made for police officer Jen Gravel’s donkey Odie, who will then wear the uniform during Oak Harbor’s National Night Out, scheduled for Aug. 5.

The food drive was organized by police officer Jennifer Yzaguirre.

“We have good competition between us,” Fire Chief Ray Merrill said, adding that he’s confident that his department will win the

competition.

Gravel has other ideas, however. She said that, because people seem to tend to like the fire department more, people will want the police department to win.

Ultimately, she predicted, the donkey will be wearing a police uniform instead of a fireman’s uniform.

“So, hopefully, that will get people to donate more so that law enforcement wins,” Gravel said.

The winner of the competition will be determined by the number of food items donated on behalf of the departments, not necessarily the heaviest amount of items, Merrill said.

There’s no specific goal for how much food is collected in mind, “just as much as we possibly can,” Merrill said.

“We want to get as much food as possible for this food drive,” Gravel said.

Merrill said the winner will be revealed during the National Night Out event when Odie makes his first public appearance in his new uniform.

“I think it’ll be fun,” Merrill said.

“It’s definitely for a good cause.”

Zorba’s gets new owners

By JANIS REID

T Staff reporter

aking over Z o r b a ’ s Restaurant was kind of like coming home for Kevin Olson.

The Bellingham native took his first dishwashing job at 15 years old from longtime Zorba’s Restaurant owner Chris Pantoleon 24 years ago at his Ferndale restaurant.

Olson and his parter, Juanita Robertson, purchased Zorba’s Restaurant and took over ownership June 1.

Pantoleon, who owned Zorba’s Restaurant for 13 years, said his history with Olson made it easier for him to hand over the reins to the business.

“When you know someone a long time, it helps,” Pantoleon said. “It helped selling the place.”

Pantoleon said he was wanting to retire and sell the place for a while, and when Olson and Robertson started working at the Ferndale restaurant again, he saw an opportunity.

The pair had owned and operated restaurants and a bar in Montana and were looking for a similar gig closer to Olson’s family in Bellingham.

For them, Whidbey Island is the perfect fit.

Kevin Olson, of Bellingham, and Juanita Robertson have taken over ownership of Zorba’s Restaurant, which specializes in Italian and Greek cuisine.

“I love it here. I love Oak Harbor,” Robertson said.

“Everybody’s been so nice.”

Prior to her restaurant experience, Rober tson worked in banking.

Robertson said she was drawn to restaurant ownership because she wanted to be her own boss and have her own establishment.

Olson has worked as a cook on and off for years and has a good knowledge

of the Italian and Greek cuisines Zorba’s championed.

The couple said that they plan to keep the restaurant the same — except for a few small changes.

They’ve added a chef salad and oven-toasted subs, and they can now serve spirits in addition to beer and wine. They will also feature specials from Italian, Greek and even American recipes.

“Right now, we’re just

trying to see what sells,” Olson said.

But, “we got all the secret recipes from Chris,” Robertson said. “So everything is basically going to stay the same.”

Olson and Robertson were also able to retain all the original staff, she said.

“We’ve been very happy about that,” Robertson said.

“They have been great, and we’re very lucky to have them.”

When strawberries are in season on Whidbey Island, Colleen VanDyke knows that her phone will start ringing between 7 and 7:30 each morning.

It’s been that way for the 20 years she’s worked at the Prairie Center Red Apple Market in Coupeville as the spring shifts to summer.

She’ll pick up the produce department phone and hear a familiar voice making the same greeting: “It’s Jerry from Bell’s Farm.”

She’s never met the 86-year-old farmer, but feels like she knows him.

“He’s a very, very sweet man,” she said.

Strawberries from Bell’s Farm on West Beach Road have been one of the sweetest agriculture stories in Central Whidbey for more than a half century.

For a season that is exceptional if it lasts a month, the relationship between the berries and those who consume them is short and sweet.

Yet, the love is eternal.

“There isn’t a better berry in the world,” said Lynn Bixler, who moved to Whidbey Island in 1980.

“The California berries do not compare.”

Jerry Bell and his wife LaVonne own the 65-acre farm and share ownership of the strawberry business with their nephew and niece, Frank and Renee Mueller.

Jess Bell and sons Jerry and Russ came to Whidbey Island from Toppenish in 1946 but didn’t attempt to grow strawberries until four years later.

“We picked our first crop in 1950,” Jerry Bell said last Monday as he sorted through berries. “We froze out one year. We didn’t have any berries in 1955.”

Bell has seen the familyrun operation go through many changes over six decades. Berries started out being produced for canneries but now are picked daily almost exclusively for the fresh market, though Bell’s Farm has started making its own jam.

During a season that generally lasts 20-24 days, the pace is frantic, and the results can be astounding.

Last year, the farm produced about two-and-a-half tons of strawberries, Renee Mueller said.

This year, berries began ripening a little early, and the season kicked off June 14 at the Coupeville Farmers Market.

Six days a week, kids (who must be at least 12) and some adults arrive on the farm at 8 a.m. and comb the fields, looking for a bright, shiny and red berry about the size of a quarter or bigger.

About five acres of the farm are used to grow strawberries.

“It’s got to be ripe but not overripe,” said Bob Moore, who’s worked with pickers for 16 years.

The pickers, who earn 18 cents a pound, bring their flats of strawberries to get weighed. From there, strawberries are examined carefully by adults, including Jerry Bell himself, then lifted into vehicles for transport.

Dorothy Mueller, Jerry Bell’s niece, will set up a stand on Highway 20 in Oak Harbor as well as the Oak Harbor Farmers Market on Thursday nights and Coupeville Farmers Market Saturday.

Trevor Mueller, Jerry’s great-nephew, delivers orders to stores.

The farm also offers a U-pick option for customers to pick their own berries.

County may help fund weed war

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Island County commissioners will consider this week contributing money to efforts that combat a growing noxious weed problem.

The Washington State University Extension office is requesting funding that would increase the salary for the county’s Noxious Weed Coordinator Janet Stein.

Stein is currently paid through state grants designated for specific programs or certain plants, according to Island County Extension Director Tim Lawrence.

These designated funding sources can be limiting when attention needs to be paid to unfunded areas and plants.

Lawrence said weeds such as tansy ragwart and poison hemlock are getting out of control in some areas.

“She’s done an outstanding job of helping with this effort,” Lawrence said of Stein.

“That’s why its important to have a noxious weed coordinator. But we need to get a better handle on these noxious weeds.”

While strides were made through education and volunteer work to rid the island of these invasive plants, more can always be done, according to Stein.

“Here, it’s really going to take a community effort,” Stein said.

As a smaller county, Island County does not have the inspectors and removal teams that other, larger county’s might have.

So for Island County, Stein said, education is key.

“The thing about Island County is we don’t have a big budget for our program here,” Stein said.

Lawrence said he will be requesting that Stein’s parttime position, designated as a .5, be increased to a .7, giving

Island County residents volunteer to eradicate noxious weeds like poison hemlock. Truckloads are collected from throughout the island every summer.

Stein more time in the summer to dedicate to education and irradiation.

Commissioners will consider the proposal during a work session this week.

Noxious weeds are undesirable non-native plants that have economic, ecological or aesthetic implications, according to the WSU Extension service. Noxious weeds are often highly destructive and extremely competitive with native plants, making them very difficult to control.

The impact of these plants vary, but can be quite damaging.

For a farmer, noxious weeds can ruin crops and grazing lands. For city dwellers, the weeds can overcome gardens and pathways, and decrease home values. They can also destroy valuable natural resources like wetlands and animal habitats.

Depending on which of four classifications noxious weeds fall in, landowners could be required to simply

control the plant or completely eradicate it whenever possible.

Class A weeds are plants whose presence in Washington is still limited.

Preventing new infestations and eradicating existing infestations are required by law.

Class B weeds are limited to certain areas of the state.

Class C weeds are the noxious weeds that are already widespread and control enforcement is allowed on a county level, if desired.

The county’s most common noxious weeds include tansy ragwort, a yellow flowering plant that is toxic to livestock; purple loosestrife, a wild flowering plant that is known to take over and destroy wetlands; spartina, a grass-like plant that takes over shorelines and eradication is required; and Canada thistle, which grows pink flowering pods and can take over farmers’ crops.

While some are more common than others, Island

County’s noxious weed list spans to pages and lists more than 100 plants.

“I think everybody has to be aware,” Stein said.

“Even small lots can be a source of the weed seeds.”

Stein said the noxious plants are often introduced quite innocently, like seeds stuck on clothing or a gardener bringing plants home from a trip abroad.

Landowners can work with the WSU Extension office to implement the correct controls. In some cases, a small amount of state funding can be acquired to assist property owners control or eradicate the weeds.

OUR VIEWPOINT Lawmakers right to seek Ferries shakeup Hindsight is 20/20. But when $144 million in taxpayer money is spent to design and build a new state ferry, you expect a whole lot of foresight.

Currently, with Washington State Ferries, we don’t seem to be getting much of that at all.

Though the new state ferry, Tokitae, finally went into service on the Clinton-Mukilteo run this week, it wasn’t without glitches.

Tenth District state Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, joined Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor, in accusing state ferry systems managers of misleading them in March when they asked about problems with the ferry.

Smaller cars with lower clearance and longer wheel bases apparently scrape the deck when driving up to the ferry’s second level.

Undoubtedly, the recent delay in the start of Tokitae’s service on the Clinton-Mukilteo run probably included unexpected training on how to determine which vehicles will need to be kept to the lower deck.

Problems with design isn’t a new issue for state ferries.

In August 2012, Smith and Seaquist asked WSF officials why the state’s newest 64-car ferries — including the Salish and Kennewick, used on the Coupeville-Port Townsend route — vibrated and consumed too much fuel.

The biggest complaints among riders, however, was that each vessel had a three-degree list — the result of each boat’s single stairwell being located on one side rather than in the center.

It quickly earned the ferry Chetzemoka the unofficial name of “I-lean” among ferry workers.

Smith later expressed dissatisfaction with the reply she received from then-Assistant Secretary of Transportation David Moseley.

In response to Smith’s letter, Mosley explained the list, which ranged from 0.5 percent to 2.0 percent, depending on the amount of fuel and vehicle load, was intentional.

“It is unthinkable that anyone would design a vessel with an intended list,” Smith told The Herald in Everett.

In August 2013, after maintaining that the list was intentional and no ballast was to be added, state ferries added 72 tons of ballast to the Salish.

By April 15 of this year, Moseley had announced his resignation and was gone from state Ferries.

Both Smith and Seaquist are calling on Gov. Jay Inslee to hold Washington State Ferries accountable for what seems to be a pattern of poor planning.

“To ensure improvements in the department, we are strongly advising a major overhaul of upper management in the ferries division in order to restore the public trust,” they said in a letter to the governor’s office.

We believe Smith and Seaquist are absolutely right.

State ferries is in need of new blood and a lot more foresight. For $144 million, taxpayers deserve better.

Why hasn’t the county joined computer age?

Editor, Every year, animals and people have a hard time with the extremely frightening noise of the fireworks.

A lot of veterans can’t deal with what sounds like assault rifles. As Jill Johnson says, this is a Navy island.

Please remember that what you do affects your community. Limit the time and days you shoot them off to the legal hours — or less. Because if you don’t, they may ban them here completely — like they have in so many other countries. Consider buying the ones that don’t go way up past the tree tops, which is a real fire danger, and sound like rockets in a war zone.

There would be less complaints to the sheriff’s office and the fire marshall.

Enjoy the free fireworks displays in Oak Harbor and Freeland.

There is also a big, bright, beautiful fireworks display done in the Rolling Hills area that is not noisy. The real reason for the holiday is to remember our country’s independence.

Editor, I have pondered this for some time now: Why isn’t Island County in the computer age? What is he talking about, you ask?

Each hourly county employee must fill out a paper hourly report to be paid.

Each county employee receives a paper check for their wages. Imagine the handling expense of 22 county departments’ paper forms and paper checks.

When I worked at The Boeing Co. some years ago, a paper form was given the value of $50 for the human handling of it from the beginning to fruition. I don’t have figures for all the county workers who submit paper forms and receive paper checks monthly, but imagine the total savings to the tax payer if this was done via computer.

It’s not that the county employees are ignorant of computers. They use them every day. The problem is in implementing the process of digital timekeeping and digital payment to a bank account. Is this concept too radical to grasp? I experienced this happen while I was in the Navy and then at

Boeing. I believe it is doable for our county.

Climate problem is solvable with change

Editor, I’ve just returned from the other Washington, where I was pleased to meet with our congressman, Rick Larsen.

I traveled with 600 fellow members of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby to our 2014 national conference.

All of us had appointments to discuss climate solutions with our representatives.

I thank Larsen and his staff for graciousness and extra effort in accommodating my appointment after a short-notice floor vote caused schedule disarray. Larsen is working on our behalf to enact legislation that will limit dangerous greenhouse gasses.

I urged him to consider doing this through a revenue-neutral carbon tax.

Under this proposal, fees would be imposed on energy sources at the point SEE HALLAHAN, A7

Independence means curbing dependence REACH YOUR GUEST COLUMN REPS

By DON C. BRUNELL

While much of today’s news deals with America’s decline, there is hope we can stimulate our economy, create manufacturing jobs and pay down our national debt by increasing our manufacturing and energy production.

While goods were once proudly “Made in America,” many of our manufacturing plants are shuttered. When we go to stores today, too often the labels say

“Made in China.”

How do we turn this around? One company at a time.

In January 2013, Walmart announced it will buy an additional $50 billion of U.S. products over the next 10 years in an effort to grow our manufacturing and encourage the creation of U.S. jobs. In addition, Walmart has created a $10 million fund to stimulate U.S. manufacturing.

Walmart supplier Kent International, a New Jerseybased bicycle maker, announced in January that it will move its production from overseas to Clarendon, S.C. Kent will create 175 new jobs, with the goal of assembling 500,000 bicycles annually in the U.S. by 2016.

The focus is on creating American jobs.

Walmart, the world’s largest private employer, employs around 1.3 million people in the United States.

Last year on Memorial Day (2013), the company announced it would offer a job to any honorably discharged veteran during the first year after they leave the service. One year later, Walmart reported it had hired more than 42,000 veterans, with a goal of hiring 100,000 veterans.

Walmart is not alone in its effort to create new U.S. manufacturing jobs.

As U.S. manufacturers become more competitive in the global market, many companies are “reshoring” their production back to home turf.

According to economists at Euler Hermes North America, a leading provider of export and trade credit insurance, American manufacturers are expected to invest $500 billion in U.S. manufacturing this year.

A poll of 200 U.S.-based executives by The Boston

Consulting Group found that 54 percent are considering or planning to “reshore” production, which is up from 37 percent in 2012. One of the most visible recent examples was Apple’s decision to build a new plant in Arizona instead of China, where the company has traditionally placed most of its manufacturing.

Why the turnaround?

Dan North, chief economist at Euler Hermes North America, says there are two main reasons: energy and workers.

The energy revolution was unforeseen even five years ago. Fracking and horizontal drilling have now opened up 100 years’ worth of natural gas reserves and massive new oil finds. As a result, the U.S. pays $3-$4 per mmbtu (the term commonly used by natural gas producers), while the rest of the world pays $10-15.

Thanks to fracking, America’s imports of foreign oil fell to 36 percent in 2013, down from a high of 60 percent in 2006.

That not only reduces our dependence on volatile – and often hostile – foreign oil producers, it creates American jobs. The American Petroleum Institute estimates that by 2024, domestic energy development could add nearly 1.4 million new jobs in various U.S. industries.

The second major factor leading to the reindustrialization of America is the people who work in manufacturing. U.S. workers are among the world’s most productive. They are a primary reason that Boeing, the world’s largest assembler of airplanes, invests in our state.

The bottom line is American manufacturing and energy development can propel our economy and job growth if politicians and government regulators allow it.

The resulting tax revenues would help reverse the surging $17.5 trillion federal debt, giving us the opportunity to start paying off our nation’s credit card.

Energy independence, a revitalized economy and new manufacturing jobs in America – something to think about this Independence Day. n Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver.

of extraction based on how much carbon pollution they create.

Revenues would be returned directly to households as monthly checks. Lives would be saved as dirty fuels are left in the ground, reducing soot, mercury, sulfur and carbon pollution.

Net jobs in most parts of the country would increase as low-carbon energy industries expand.

Border adjustments would eliminate any advantage imports made in heavy-polluting countries would have over domestic products.

This policy would leverage the power of free markets to turn our economy toward clean energy without growing government and without burdensome regulations.

For this reason, a string of highprofile Republicans has recently endorsed our approach, including former Secretary of State George Schultz and former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulsen.

I believe the climate problem is solvable and that you and I can make a difference. I invite you to join the Citizens’ Climate Lobby.

Our approach is nonpartisan.

The Whidbey chapter’s next meeting is 9:45 a.m. July 12 at Ciao Restaurant on Main Street in Coupeville.

Community

Thanks to those who helped with gardens Editor, From 8 a.m. until about 2 p.m., on Saturday, June 21, 27 generous people converged on the gardens in front of the Island County Museum.

Their only pay was the promise of a barbecue hot dog lunch — and the satisfaction of enjoying the fruits of their labor, a beautiful showpiece of a garden, freshly weeded, clipped, raked and mulched for all to admire.

While it might be too cumbersome to list all of their names, they indeed all know who they are, and they all now know one another. My hat’s off to them, and I offer my sincerest gratitude for all their hard work.

We even met some new friends who came all the way from Bremerton to

join the fun. They kept commenting on what a wonderful community we have. I could not agree more.

Special thanks are in order to Vickie Chambers and Janet Burchfield of the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Association for their help and encouragement in coordinating this very successful work party. They saw a need, and they acted on it.

Congratulations, and thank you for making a difference.

important. While she stipulated that the person being quoted must be quoted accurately, she made no reference to the accuracy and veracity of information contained within the quote. So, let’s assume that the importance thereof was equal and implicit.

That said, I encourage Ms. Spraitzar to engage in the very activity she professes. In the same letter in which she alleges the misquotation, she also said, “Michael (Monson) has taken a lot of heat, as have I and others, for speaking up for the health, safety and wellbeing of our communities.”

Based on the premise of her letter, and in point of fact, she, Mr. Monson and other COER members have not taken a lot of heat for speaking up for the health, safety and well-being of our communities. They have taken a lot of heat for engaging in behavior which has repeatedly been shown to be tactless, vitriolic, deceitful or selfcentered in a bid to further personal agendas under the guise of speaking out on behalf of the health, safety and well-being of our communities.

I commend Ms. Spraitzar for her demand for accuracy. Even in its infancy, it has had a ripple effect.

Teens experience abuse too

OBITUARIES

The Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Review has been studying domestic violence–related homicides in our state since 1997. The research shows how early many abusive relationships start. Nine percent of domestic violence homicide victims were under 21 at the time they were killed, and 31% of homicide victims in studied cases were under 21 when they started dating the abuser.

Several met in high school or middle school.

Researchers found that education about dating violence in schools was not sufficient and often started too late. In their first experiences with dating, these young people did not get critical information about what a healthy relationship is or practical tips on what to do if someone was abusing them. Their parents also did not have the information they needed. Many tried to help, but did not know about resources—like their local domestic violence program—that could help them in their efforts.

We can do better. Teens need information, safe options, and support. Dating violence is a complex issue with no one, simple answer, but it is simple for each of us to play a role in teaching teens about healthy relationships.

For teen dating violence support, find the domestic violence program in your community at wscadv.org, contact the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline at 1-866-331-9474, or text “loveis” to 22522.

Coffin

Barbara Cynthia “Cindy” Coffin

Cindy Coffin passed away at her home in Oak Harbor on June 18, 2014 at the age of 57, surrounded by loved ones, after a nine-year battle with cancer.

She was born on April 24, 1957 in Summerside, Calif., to John and Barbara Coffin.

Cindy grew up in a military community. Her father was a career U.S. Marine Corp colonel. She graduated from high school in Alameda, Calif.

Following graduation, she attended the Vidal Sassoon Beauty Academy.

After her daughter started school, Cindy began her career at Whidbey Island Bank, where she made many lasting friendships. She was dedicated to the bank for the past 24 years, serving as a compliance officer at the time of her death.

Cindy loved decorating her house for every holiday, especially Christmas. Her favorite pastimes were sitting on the deck with her family and enjoying the sun, vacationing in tropical paradises, making her garden beautiful and, of course, shopping.

Cindy was a loving and inspirational person, touching the lives of everyone who knew her. She was always content making others happy.

Cindy is survived by her husband, Steve Dickemann; her daughter, Amberly Coffin; her father, John C. Coffin; her two brothers, John W. Coffin and Kenneth Coffin; and her two sisters, Vicki Skilbeck and Debbie Branco.

9/10 teams lead Little League clubs in district play NW baseball, CW/SW softball teams win twice in tournament

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Little League District 11 play began last weekend, and the 9/10 North Whidbey baseball team and the 9/10 Central/South Whidbey softball team paced the race with a pair of wins.

9/10 Baseball Coach Mark Tanner has labeled his North Whidbey team the “Cardiac Kids.”

The nickname came after two heart-thumping wins in the District 11 tournament at Sedro-Woolley’s Kiwanis Fields Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29.

North Whidbey dumped Sedro-Woolley 9-6 Saturday and Central Whidbey 10-9 Sunday.

North Whidbey moved on to the semifinals against Burlington-Edison Tuesday; results were not available at press time.

Central Whidbey rebounded to rip Anacortes 10-3 Monday. (No details were

submitted.)

CWLL faced SedroWoolley in a loser-out game Tuesday. If it won, it plays the loser of North Whidbey-Burlington at 6 p.m.

Wednesday, July 2.

North Whidbey scored five runs in the first inning in both games, saw those leads evaporate, bounced back to win in thrilling fashion behind clutch extra-base hits by Colton Byars and then held on as their opponents threatened in the final inning.

Against Sedro-Woolley, North Whidbey led until the host team tied the game at 6 in the fifth inning and was poised to take the lead.

Sedro-Woolley had the goahead runner at third base with one out in the fifth, but North Whidbey survived by picking the runner off to end the threat.

In the top of the sixth inning, Oak Harbor’s Byars ripped an inside-the-park home run to spark a threerun rally.

Sedro-Woolley wasn’t

through. It put two runners on with two outs and blasted a shot to deep center field that was hauled in by Joe Winnenberg for the final out.

To add to the drama, the game had a 45-minute lightning delay.

Cody Duchnowski pitched a scoreless sixth inning for the win in relief of Jackson Biggs and Byars.

Ben Green guided the offense by going 3-for-3; Duchnowski finished 3-for-4.

In Sunday’s game, North Whidbey again scored five first-inning runs. By the third inning, Central Whidbey tied the score at 6, then in the fourth inning went up by two.

Oak Harbor regained the lead, 9-8, with three runs in the bottom of the fourth.

Coupeville countered with a run in the fifth to tie it.

With two outs in the bottom of the fifth, Byars slugged a triple, scoring Biggs with the eventual winning run.

Central Whidbey turned up the stress level by putting two on with no outs in the sixth. Tanner turned to Jordan Ronning to quell the threat, and Ronning retired the side in nine pitches.

Ronning received defen-

The Sedro-Woolley runner and North Whidbey catcher Nick Krantz check the umpire’s call in the 11/12 District 11 baseball tournament Saturday in Langley. Sedro-Woolley won 10-4. sive help from catcher Colton Richardson, who nailed a runner trying to steal third, and first baseman Sean Day, who made a diving catch to end the game.

Byars and Richardson each had two hits.

9/10 Softball The Central/South Whidbey team is one win from earning a trip to state.

At the District 11 tournament at South Whidbey, it defeated North Whidbey 22-5 Saturday and Sedro-Woolley 12-2 Sunday to secure a spot in the championship series.

Both games went only four innings because of the 10-run mercy rule.

Central/South Whidbey faced the winner of Anacortes and South Skagit, the survivors in the losers’ bracket, Tuesday. If Central/South Whidbey won, it qualified for state. If it lost, the two teams play again at 6 p.m. Thursday to determine the state representative After losing to Central/ South Whidbey, North Whidbey fell 27-3 to South Skagit Sunday and was eliminated.

In CW/SW’s win over North Whidbey, Kaia Richmond, Coral Caveness and Chelsea Prescott each reached base five times and scored five runs.

Prescott also earned the pitching win.

Madison Grimaldo scored two runs for North Whidbey; Abi Anderson, Abby Ries and Paige Liddle also crossed home plate.

In Sunday’s action against Sedro-Woolley, Prescott paced Central/South Whidbey by snaring another pitching win and sparking the offense with a grand slam in the second inning.

Mollie Bailey drove in two runs and scored another.

In North Whidbey’s game with South Skagit, Grimaldo rapped two hits, including a double.

In the circle, Andersen struck out three in two innings, and Emily Wilson and Emily Steinke each recorded a strikeout in an inning of work.

Steinke paced the defense with two “amazing” catches in the outfield, according to coach Tashina Tosh.

“All girls did amazing; we are a young team focused on returning strong next year,” Tosh said.

11/12 Baseball Central Whidbey opened District 11 play at South Whidbey by slipping past Sedro-Woolley 2-1 Sunday.

Sedro-Woolley earned the right to face Central Whidbey, which had a bye in the first round, by defeating North Whidbey 10-4 Saturday.

North Whidbey bounced back in the consolation

bracket, drubbing Anacortes 11-1 Monday.

Central Whidbey met Burlington in the semifinals Tuesday; results were not available at press time.

Noah Meffert and Ulrik Wells scored for Central Whidbey in its squeaker over Sedro-Woolley, and Meffert and David Prescott provided stellar defensive plays.

Reliever Matt Hilborn closed out the game to preserve the win.

In North Whidbey’s loss to Sedro-Woolley, it surrendered six runs, all with two outs, in the top of the second inning and could never recover.

Sedro-Woolley pushed the lead to 10-1 before North Whidbey plated three runs in the sixth.

Austin Boesch tripled and scored North Whidbey’s first run in the fourth inning and singled during the three-run sixth.

Against Anacortes, North Whidbey received offensive help throughout the lineup.

The win earned North Whidbey another shot at Sedro-Woolley Tuesday in a loser-out game.

North Whidbey slugged four extra-base hits, including a home run by Trevor Sheils.

Cody Byers ripped a triple, and Aiden McCarthy and Boesch added doubles.

Sheils also picked up the LITTLE LEAGUE, A10

Capturing the behaviors of bald eagles is something Clinton wildlife photographer Paul Lischeid has done on a weekly basis for more than a decade.

Eagle abundance on display

When farmers cut their fields on Whidbey, bald eagles put on show

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

When grass fields were cut near Michael Crump’s house in Oak Harbor in early June, he got a bird’seye view of a spectacular nature show.

Crump watched from his front yard as bald eagles swooped into a vast field of freshly cut grass and tried to dig their talons into small critters injured or killed from the tractor’s blades.

Oftentimes, the eagles would fly off with nothing but grass in their clutches.

Other times, a small rodent or snake would disappear with them into the air.

If it were just one or two eagles on display, diving into the field or hanging around in nearby trees or on rooftops, Crump might not have taken much notice. But he counted 26.

“It was breathtaking,” he said.

This sort of eagle show plays out repeatedly in late spring and early summer in the central and northern reaches of Whidbey Island as farmers cut their fields and expose the creatures that hide within the tall grasses.

One particular stretch of high activity occurs along State Highway 20 between Hastie Lake and Monroe Landing roads outside Oak Harbor, where vehicles pull off the road to view the spectacle.

“We call them eagle jams,” said Steve Ellis, former president of the Whidbey Audubon Society.

Paul Lischeid, a wildlife and landscape photographer from Clinton, estimated between 35-40 eagles in the fields near the Blue Fox

Drive-In when he pulled over and started clicking pictures in early June. He said there were about six standing on the roof of a house.

“It seems like there are more eagles now than there were before,” said Lischeid, who’s lived on Whidbey since 1989. “You don’t realize how many we have here until they start cutting the fields.”

Once listed as a federally endangered species, the bald eagle’s population rebound is evident on Whidbey, where an aerial survey conducted by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife in 2005 revealed 47 nesting pairs of eagles on the island. Since that study, that number has risen to about 52 or 53 pairs, according to Ellis.

Nationally, the bald eagle population had dipped to 417 nesting pairs by 1963, according to surveys, before the Endangered Species Act protected the bird and helped boost the numbers to

nearly 9,800 pairs by 2007, when the eagles were delisted.

On Whidbey, the sight of a bald eagle is often a daily occurrence for many residents. For those who live near farmland come late spring, it’s a matter of how many.

“It must be the sound of the tractors,” Lischeid said.

“You are ringing the dinner bell,” said Matt Klope, a U.S. Navy wildlife biologist from Oak Harbor. “You’ve got to realize, eagles are basically lazy.”

Eagles swoop in and compete for meadow voles, rabbits or other small creatures.

Sometimes, they make their move 10 feet from where the tractor had passed, Crump said.

“It’s spectacular to see,” Lischeid said.

It’s also a little unusual, according to Jim Watson, a research scientist with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife who has studied eagles extensively.

Watson said eagles mostly live near shorelines or lakes and commonly eat fish and larger mammals, not small rodents.

“It’s the kind of behavior you’ll see very often with soaring hawks like red-tailed hawks following a tractor this time of year,” Watson said. “It’s a little more unusual with bald eagles.

Obviously, they’re taking advantage of what’s available.”

“It’s a learned behavior,” Ellis said.

Young eagles are joined by adults in the pursuit of the easy meal. And make no mistake, the younger eagles that still haven’t developed the white heads are bald eagles and not golden eagles, as they are commonly mistaken for, Klope said.

He’s lived on Whidbey Island for 25 years and hasn’t seen a golden eagle on the island yet.

“They’re very, very rare,” Klope said. “They’re not rare in numbers, just rare locally.”

FERRIES

CONTINUED FROM A1 were unwarranted.

But ferry workers contacted them last week to say part of their training on the vessel involved learning how to keep cars with low clearances from going up the ramps.

Ferries managers “told us in March they had looked at it, there was adequate clearance and there was not a problem,” Smith said.

“We were simply misled. If the proper analysis had been done, this would never have happened.”

Capt. George Capacci, interim ferries chief, said Monday he’s tried to be as transparent as possible with the lawmakers since they first raised the concern earlier this year.

“I don’t think it’s a problem,” Capacci said.

Deck hands responsible for loading and unloading cars are experienced at figuring out which vehicles can handle the transition without trouble and which might have trouble, he said.

On the Tokitae, the upper end of the ramps are sharper than those on other vessels, and that might increase the potential for scraping, Capacci said.

Testing was done by driving cars with different clearances on the ramps. In one test, he rode in a Ford Taurus with three others and handled the ramp without dif-

BUDGET CONTINUED FROM A1 projections completed until the end of July, Merriman said revenues appear to be strong.

Sales tax receipts are “a little sporadic,” but average around a 3 to 6 percent increase each month compared to the same month last year.

Mayor Scott Dudley said he hopes the exercise will help council members to set priorities.

“This is just the infancy stage of the budget process,” he said.

Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green admitted that he was “reaching for the stars” in requesting an additional police sergeant and four more patrol officers.

The total cost in salaries and benefits would be about $485,000 a year.

“It may not be an overnight thing,” he said. “I get that.”

During an interview, Green explained that he would like another sergeant position to oversee his new community

ficulty, he said.

Capacci said he put in a change order to create a smoother ramp on the Samish, which is under construction, and the third as-yet unnamed vessel on which work has not yet begun.

“I do not think it’s a fatal flaw,” he said of the Tokitae design. “I think it’s one of those grooming issues you deal with when you bring a new vessel into service. “ “There are things we do to vessels during the life of a vessel to make it better.”

A spokeswoman for Gov. Jay Inslee said that, if it is a problem, the boat builder is responsible for getting it fixed.

“The governor is aware of Reps. Seaquist’s and Smith’s concerns about whether cars can safely board and unboard the vessel. WSF has sent results of test vehicles showing no problems boarding or unboarding the vessel,” spokeswoman Jaime Smith wrote in an email.

“Ultimately, the governor will hold the contractor accountable for delivering a safe vessel — any modifications to the design of other vessels is something Vigor would need to address,” she wrote.

The ferry agency’s response to their concerns spurred Smith and Seaquist to ask Inslee to appoint an independent panel of experts to “conduct a thorough and transparent investigation” of ferry operations and labor-management issues. They also want the governor to put new people in place — even before a new ferservice department, which includes the community service officer, the animal control officer, the school officer and the traffic control officer.

In addition, he would like to see another patrol officer in each of the four patrol squads.

Statistics from the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs for 2013 show that the Oak Harbor Police Department has about the average number of commissioned officers per 1,000 population when compared to other cities with populations between 10,000 and 25,000.

Oak Harbor’s rate of commissioned officers is 1.45 while the average is 1.44. Oak Harbor has a population of 22,000 and 32 officers.

Yet Green said he recently applied for COPS grants and learned that the federal government considers his officers are actually policing a population of 37,000 to 40,000, when the Navy base, the schools and tourists passing through are considered.

Under that population, the rate of commissioned officers falls far below average.

“WSF must be held accountable,” the two wrote in a letter to Inslee on June 27. “To ensure improvements in the department, we are strongly advising a major overhaul of upper management in the ferries division in order to restore public trust.”

A spokeswoman for the governor said any leadership changes will have to wait until a new director is hired to run Washington State Ferries.

Capacci was one of two finalists for the job when

he pulled out last month.

Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson decided that rather than hire the other finalist, she would restart the search.

“Once the new director is in place, we can have a conversation about what he or she needs to have a team and structure in place that works,” wrote Smith, Inslee’s spokeswoman.

Likewise, Fire Chief Ray Merrill requested two new career firefighters to start in 2015 and another to come on in 2016.

Each additional firefighter would cost $90,000 a year in salaries and benefits.

Merrill pointed out that the department has had the same 10 career positions since 1997, while call volumes increased by 26 percent and the rate of fire inspections increased by 69 percent since that time.

He warned that response times are going to drop below the four or five minute threshold if he doesn’t get more help.

City Administrator Larry Cort said he would like to have an executive assistant.

That position and four others remain on the staffing chart but weren’t filled in order to balance the budget two years ago.

Dudley said filling the position should be one of the top priorities.

Sheriff: Learn the rules before lighting fireworks When celebrating this Fourth of July remember that shooting off fireworks isn’t a free-for-all. Whether you live in the county or within town or city limits, each jurisdiction has its own set of rules.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown advises that prior to lighting fireworks, citizens determine if they are even allowed.

Both Island County and City of Oak Harbor follow fireworks guidelines set by Washington state law.

Only legal fireworks are allowed including sparklers, cylindrical fountains, cone fountains, ground spinners roman candles and smoke devices.

Illegal fireworks include missile-type rockets, sky rockets, fire crackers, salutes and chasers.

City of Oak Harbor also regulates where citizens can light fireworks, requiring they only be discharged on private property.

Fireworks are not allowed on city property, including parking lots and are not allowed on public beaches.

Each jurisdiction also has regulations on when people can light fireworks

Per state law, Island County and City of Oak Harbor allow fireworks starting June 28.

Fireworks will be allowed Wednesday, July 2 and Thursday, July 3 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

On Friday, July 4 they are allowed 9 a.m. to midnight.

Fireworks are only allowed to continue one day after Independence Day from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, July 5.

Town of Coupeville has a much tighter window for fireworks regulations.

According to Coupeville Town Marshal Rick Norrie, fireworks within town limits are only allowed 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday, July 4.

Brown also advises citizens to remember the simple rules of fireworks safety and regulations: n Don’t shoot fireworks at others n Don’t light fireworks on unstable or unlevel ground or objects n Don’t lean over fireworks when lighting n Don’t discharge firecrackers, bottle rockets, sky rockets and missiles outside of tribal land boundaries n Don’t hold fireworks

when discharging n Don’t alter or take apart fireworks “Please be respectful of those that are bothered by loud noise and/or are concerned about their pets being overly frightened when hearing the blast of fireworks discharging,” Brown said in a prepared statement.

“It is my sincere hope that we can celebrate our national holiday and still be good

Any king salmon, or chinook, that were caught needed to be released.

“I think we’re probably more like practicing right now and testing the line for the kill,” Cruz joked.

“Last year, I started July 1 and didn’t get my first catch until July 21. It didn’t stop me from coming.”

The blue skies, calm waters and Olympic Mountain range view made for a picturesque backdrop. Salmon were seen rolling at the water’s surface not far from shore and one leaped out of the water about 200 yards out. They chased bait fish that leaped from the water as well.

“Billy, a jumper,” Cruz shouted to a fisherman nearby.

No one, however, was hooking into a fish. There was a temporary interruption when scuba divers from Walla Walla University’s satellite campus on Fidalgo Island surfaced near the beach. The faculty and students were doing research related to octopuses and ocean acidification, said biology professor Kirt Onthank, who gave a fisherman a Buzz Bomb he found on the sea bottom and apologized for surfacing near the anglers.

Onthank said he didn’t see any salmon from the depths below but added that the divers “were below where the salmon are.”

Onthank said he often notices dog fish when salmon are present but didn’t see any of those either.

Silver salmon season will continue into the fall in Marine Area 9 from Admiralty Inlet to Possession Point with king salmon fishing starting July 16 in the area. Anglers are allowed to keep two silver salmon per day.

Complicating matters for anglers, Whidbey Island is surrounded by four different marine areas with four different sets of rules. The breakdown of rules and seasons is shown in the Washington Sports Fishing Rules on the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website as well as in pamphlets available in various stores.

Silver salmon fishing won’t start on the east side of Whidbey Island until Aug. 1.

Recreational crabbing starts in waters around Whidbey Island July 3.

Crabbing will be allowed Thursdays through Mondays each week through Sept. 1.

The state’s pamphlet also covers rules regarding shellfish harvest.

Info- 360-202-7336 Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. 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. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g 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.
