Generational butcher family to slice out market on South Whidbey By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record

Greg Gilles is known throughout South Whidbey as a respected homebuilder. But there’s a secret about the Maxwelton man that many may not know. His calloused hands and permanently bent index finger aren’t just from swinging a hammer — it’s from years of holding a knife. A fifth generation butcher from Evansville, Indiana, Gilles was strapping on a tool belt of metal and chain long before he ever picked up one filled with nails and tape measures. On his resume are positions at five state and federally inspected plants such as Oberto’s in Seattle. In as soon as two weeks, he’ll be dusting off those knives and slicing into South Whidbey agriculture. Gilles and his son, Nathan, are on the verge of opening 7 Generations Artisan Meats, a home-based butcher business serving Whidbey Island. Nathan Gilles is sixth generation, and his son, 5-year-old Liam, makes seven. “We’re all really excited about it,” Greg Gilles said. 7 Generations Artisan Meats won’t fit the image of the historical corner butcher shop, as it’s not certified by the United States Department of Agriculture for direct sales of unprocessed meats. In other words, one can’t swing by the store and pick up a steak or ribs for dinner. They can, however, sell processed meats such as sausage. When it comes to links, Gilles knows his stuff. They will offer 33 different products, from French, Italian, Polish and Irish sausages to smoked Hungarian links and salamis, and a few recipes from the family book. SEE BUTCHER, A11

Where did the money go and what is Island Transit going to do about it? This was the main question repeated by an angry and confused room full of people at the Island Transit board meeting Friday in the wake of financial mismanagement, service reductions and staffing cuts. “You folks had a pile of money and over a period of time it was gone,” said one resident. “Why are you still here pretending to manage?” Friday, the board approved its staterequired Six-Year Transit Development Plan before going into its regular meeting. Board chairman Bob Clay appeared to struggle to maintain traditional meeting procedure as questions and answers flew between residents and board members. Several of those attending said the board’s sixyear plan was unrealistic given their current finanSEE TRANSIT, A11

Disgraced transit finance director fires back By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record

Island Transit Chief Martha Rose was aware of the transportation agency’s building fiscal crisis for years, and ignored repeated warnings, according to the department’s former finance manager. Barbara Savary, the bookkeeper Rose has publicly blamed for the funding fiasco, fired back against the allegations with a

formal letter to Island Transit’s Board of Directors last week. It tells a very different story of what happened, alleging that Savary warned Rose of the problem on multiple occasions over a period of years and that her concerns went unheeded until the situation became “critical” in 2012. “I am saddened that Ms. Rose has opted to publish false statements … in what is apparently a desperate attempt to retain her own job,” Savary wrote. “I’m truly sorry it has come to this, but I cannot silently accept blame when it is

not due.” Savary’s letter is in response to statements Rose made in June that she fired Savary after it became clear the agency didn’t have enough money to pay its bills. Staffing and service cuts have followed. Rose claimed in a previous interview with the South Whidbey Record that Savary did not properly communicate SEE SAVARY, A20

Users ask for more float length at Possession Beach By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Port of South Whidbey Commissioners sang the same song regarding the Possession Beach boat ramp at a special meeting Tuesday. Hearing comments, suggestions and concerns from eight people in the crowd, the port officials reiterated their focus for redoing the ramp built in 1987: they want to get more use out of the ramp while reducing their maintenance costs. The project is estimated to cost between $350,000 and $450,000. Basically, the redone boat ramp and pilings will replace the existing structures. The main difference, as proposed by the port district’s preferred plan, is moving the floats to the south side of the ramp — the driver’s side when backing in a boat to launch. Another change will be the grade of the ramp itself to help mirror the natural slope of the shore at Possession Beach, the southern-most end of Whidbey Island. Some of the work is expected to reduce environmental impacts. Instead of four groups of four pilings each for the floats, there will be six galvanized steel pilings. The overall idea, Coastal Engineering representative Joel Darnell said, is to make it a simpler permitting process which involves the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Island County, and several departments in Washington state. “This is a boat ramp to serve the users … and it’s been there for 25 years,” Darnell said. Bob Snyder, a Clinton resident, recommended that the port look at lengthening the floats two feet to match the added length of the concrete ramp. Expanding the footprint of the boat launch could be problematic, Darnell said, during the permitting process. Port Commissioner Curt Gordon said the board could look at ways of extending the expansion from the concrete abutment — a fixed structure — to the floats by two feet, thus pushing the floats out two feet farther. Rather than break up the existing concrete ramp, Darnell said the plan is to use it as a base. Several pre-cast, 8-inch thick, tongue-and-groove panels would be laid on top and locked in

By comparison, typical sidewalks are 4 inches thick. The concrete panels would have a flat-top and V-grooves for traction, which will also use the current to help move sand off its surface. “We want to work with the waves, let the waves do the action,” Darnell said. Despite a desire to redo the ramp, a port employee said people are able to launch at low tides already. Wayne Nance, the Possession Beach boat launch manager, said the benefit of moving the floats to the south will help buffer northbound waves and make it easier for people to launch and tow their boats. “I’m always helping folks trying to get their boat on,” Nance said. The 32-foot wide ramp, Darnell said, is technically wide enough for two boats to simultaneously launch, and if the port ever decides to install a second set of floats to the north of the

Fraudulent divorcee sentenced for forgery By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record A man who forged signatures so he could divorce his wife and marry his girlfriend was sentenced this week, according to court documents. Navy man Thomas Mayhew, 34, was charged with one count of offering false instrument for filing or record and one count of forgery. He received 30 days in jail at his sentencing.

Mayhew was found guilty of forging his wife’s and a judge’s signatures on the documents because he wanted to marry his girlfriend in Las Vegas, the police report said. Mayhew was charged Feb. 7 after an employee at the Island County Clerk’s Office reportedly noticed irregularities when Mayhew submitted a divorce decree and a parenting plan. County Clerk also saw discrepancies and

it appeared that Mayhew had written Clerk Debra Van Pelt’s name instead of the judge’s name. Mayhew’s wife told investigators she was shocked he had tried to file divorce paperwork and that her name was, in fact, forged. The wife found a wedding invitation in his truck that showed he was planning to get married in Las Vegas that week, the police report states.

Mayhew admitted to forging the signatures in a statement to the police. He said he panicked and didn’t want to lose his girlfriend, but thought his wife wouldn’t agree to a divorce.

ramp, it would have room. Port officials hoped to have any changes to the plans ready by Aug. 22, after The Record went to press, before sending it off for permit review. Darnell said the Corps of Engineers process could take as long as a year.

grounds for the annual fair and other events. Its leaders said the costs to maintain the property were too great. The Island County commissioners have asked the Port of South Whidbey to consider running the nearly 13-acre property, which includes a campground/parking lot. Port districts are tasked with economic development, and South Whidbey port leaders are in the process of considering the costs and benefits of running the fairgrounds. The city council unanimously approved a motion to support the city’s future involvement and “place at the table” for the Island County Fairgrounds, which is largely within Langley city limits. “The city should be involved,” said Councilwoman Rene Neff.

Planning board rejects retail move outside downtown City council previously supported change By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The Langley City Council and Planning Advisory Board are at odds over the expansion of retail zoning to areas beyond downtown. City zoning limits retail to the city’s commercial core, largely bound by Anthes and Cascade avenues to the west and east, and First and Third streets to the north and south. The idea, as discussed by city council members Monday, is to keep a vibrant commercial area and limit the disruptions to residents. For example, a high-traffic store may mean regular noise of cars and people, whereas a doctor’s office is less busy. At last month’s city council meeting, however, a business owner’s request prompted the council to pursue a zoning change. In the late July city council meeting, Sarah Boin requested changing the neighborhood business zone — areas largely for low-impact, low-traffic services such as real estate offices, doctors, and restaurants. She contended that if

That task began with the planning board, an advisory group to the city council, which previously rejected the idea and maintained that denial after Tuesday’s Planning Advisory Board meeting. Over the past few decades, the building that now houses the popular Sundance Bakery has seen its fair share of busy businesses. At times, retail operated there without much

Dogs and cats tend to interact more with people and are more apt to put up with spirited kids.

Depending on how the council interprets the planning board’s advice, Boin may not be able to open, dashing her plans to run the store next to the site of her husband Patrick Boin’s upcoming restaurant, the Salish Kitchen. Some planning board members were concerned that the other neighborhood business areas could be developed into strip malls and divert commercial attention to the edge of town.

Editor’s column A centennial is a good reason to celebrate By JUSTIN BURNETT

1914 was a big year for the world. Tensions in Europe were high, and the assassination of an Austrian archduke and his wife lit the match for what would become World War I, a bloody conflict that wrought death on a scale previously unimaginable. More than 15 million people died the globe over. Yet despite the horror unfolding in the East, a tiny community on Whidbey Island was doing something great, not something to be remembered by the world but something that matters. The Freeland Improvement Society commissioned the building of Freeland Hall. While it may seem insignificant, the construction of a single building, it is not. Gathering places like the “big brown building on the hill” aren’t just jumbles of wood, they are the places where history is made. For 100 years, people have convened under that roof to celebrate birthdays, mourn the loss of loved ones, get married, plan picnics or weigh important issues of the day, such as the First Thursday Club’s discussion of “the harm of wearing long skirts.” Times and topics change but the building has remained and continued to serve as a gathering place for Freeland to ponder its future. In many ways, it’s been one of the vehicles that has made Freeland the community it is today. Most small communities have them (the Methodist Church in Langley, the recreation hall in Coupeville, etc.) and they all serve the same vital function of community building. Cherish them, for they aren’t just “historical structures” — they are a part of who we are. Freeland will pay homage to this important structure this weekend with a celebration of the hall’s 100th birthday. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, and include a range of activities: games, a raffle of locally made goodies, a beer and wine garden, hot food and a carnival that will include a bounce castle, cake walk and dunk tank. Admission is free and a shuttle will be run every 15 minutes from Trinity Lutheran Church to the hall and back, beginning at 10:45 a.m. until 6 p.m. Freeland Hall is managed by the Holmes Harbor Activities club, and organizers hope the celebration will raise a bit of cash for future events and, most importantly, bring the community together. Well, that sounds pretty good to me. Count this Freeland resident in.

Falcon football takes flight under Tormey One angler’s silvercatching playbook By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

The first days of South Whidbey Falcon football under new coach Chris Tormey are in the books. Despite being new to the Falcon program and even to leading high school sports, Tormey is far from a novice. Over the past few decades, he has been an assistant for legendary University of Washington coach Don James and a head coach at the University of Idaho and Nevada, among other professional coaching jobs at Hawaii, Washington State and Wyoming. Early on after being hired in June, Tormey found the high school job to be different from the world of NCAA Division I athletics. “It’s been a lot of fun, a real refresher for me,” he said. “At the college level, you just show up and coach. Meet with the players and get to the field,” he added. Falcon football season opened, along with all of Washington state, on Wednesday. South Whidbey has less than two weeks to prepare for its first game, a continuation of its island rivalry against Coupeville, despite the Wolves’ departure to a different league. Until then — Sept. 5 — the Falcons are busy getting into shape or, for some, further chiseling their physique

Facing a new coach, a new system and a new set of players stepping into vital positions, the Falcons are taking their time before jumping into play drills. Tormey said much of the knowledge has already been shared with players during spring practices in June and at optional conditioning sessions this summer. “I’ve really been pleased with the preparation,”

He’s expanded it to a simple two-word saying that every blue-and-white faithful can understand: Falcon pride.

Athletic packets were due Aug. 21 for athletes to participate on day one, but may be turned in late to the high school’s athletic office. Forms can be downloaded at www.sw.wednet.edu/Page/542 or picked up at the athletic office, 5675

Trying to build the family bond, Tormey is taking the team some 25 miles north to Central Whidbey for an overnight stay at Camp Casey. The time, said Tormey, will be used for more workouts, team bonding, individual goal setting and leadership development. “We don’t have anything radically different in terms of the theme. We can rely on the tradition.” Ben Watanabe / The Record

Strolling along the Possession Beach Waterfront Park in Clinton on Thursday, James Hauser holds a 5-pound silver (coho) salmon he caught from shore. He said he was taking it to a friend. Live herring was the 15-year-old boy’s bait of choice, and other anglers should take heed. He claimed to be a coho master, saying he landed 39 last summer, most of them being caught from the beach. Silver salmon fishing is picking up around Whidbey Island, with a second-hand report from The Fishin’ Club President Kevin Lungren that Lagoon Point beach anglers are seeing regular action.

Unitarian Universalists to offer Religion notes sexuality education program Unity embraces the unknown

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Freeland will host a ninemonth sexuality education program for seventh, eighth and ninth-grade students starting next month. The program, entitled Our Whole Lives (OWL), is non-religious and all-inclusive, according to director Ginger White. Learning objectives include an understanding of justice, feelings, sex and sexuality as well as respect for oneself and others. “It is a very comprehensive and progressive class in human sexuality,” said program instructor Gene Berg, whose two sons took part in the program in the early 1990s. “It was just great for them. They were a little indifferent about going to Sunday School but once they got into this they bonded with their peers and it was like magic to them, just wonderful,” said Berg. According to White, a major component of the course is learning to communicate about sexuality in a healthy and respectful manner. Ruth Richards, program instructor, noted that there will be a mixture of talks and activities. “It offers the kids opportunities to do a lot of exploration on their own terms, at their own pace. There is huge emphasis on acceptance,” Richards said. “If someone is afraid to say something, they are not going to be forced to. On the other hand if they really want to say something, it is invited.” Berg and Richards emphasized that, although there is a basic structure to the class, the students lead discussions with guidance from the instructors. “It’s so much beyond sex,” White said. “It’s about helping them develop their [religion-neutral] values and their principles and their ideas about what sexuality is and what feels right to them and what doesn’t so that they can make good choices.” The class consists of approximately 27 90-minute sessions, most of which take place on alternating Sunday mornings and evenings along with three

Rev. Joanna Gabriel will explore how conscious beings come to understand that they discover their true selves by meeting life head-on at 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 24, Unity of Whidbey, 5671 Crawford Road. Gabriel wonders how we can allow ourselves to be fully present to this life when much of our energy and focus is about trying to be safe and protected against the unknown, and the unknown shows up anyway because life is about expression and expansion in all its forms. Tadd Charette Nunn will provide the musical inspiration and Karen McInerney will be the Platform Host. All are welcome.

These are gourmet quality products, meant to rival high-end shops in Pike Street Market, but with real-world prices, Gilles said. “I don’t want to be in the food business unless the average person can afford to buy our products ... it’s not a luxury item,” he said. But direct sales are only one part of the business model. 7 Generations will also offer mobile butchering services to island farmers, and they’ll be the only Whidbey-based company to do so.

cial situation. It was unveiled in June that Island Transit had completely depleted its reserves after the completion of its new state-of-the art transit hub and didn’t have enough money to pay its bills. Several routes were cut or limited and 22 staffers were let go. “I find this to be extremely optimistic,” said Transit Board member Jim Campbell of the six-year plan. “Something can go to hell in a handbasket real fast. We don’t have a plan if it fails.” Executive Director Martha Rose assured the board and residents that federal and state grants would help the agency stabilize, but many voiced skepticism that her plan would not pan out. Rose said that grant money that will start to materialize in 2015 will “go a long way in getting us back on track.” However, at least one grant will not be applied for until November and is not completely guaranteed, according to Rose. “What are the chances for actually getting (the

Page A11

Rose grants)?” asked Gary Ray. “Is this a pipe dream or is it realistic?” “It’s very realistic,” Rose answered. Board member Jim Sundberg seconded Rose’s optimism, stating that it’s possible that in watching the budget, Island Transit could be in better shape than what is currently projected. “If we are more successful than we thought, we may be able to restore services sooner than we thought,” Sundberg said. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she wanted to reopen the agency’s service cut deci-

sions because the board was not allowed to provide direction. Price Johnson said the unincorporated parts of South Whidbey, which lies within her district, are “carrying the brunt” of the service cuts. And with the school year starting, Price Johnson said that South Whidbey families rely on bus services for after-school programs. “I’m not comfortable about this,” Price Johnson said. “I don’t believe that we as a board have had those discussions on a policy level.” Restoring any cuts to paratransit service for the disabled is at the top of the agency’s priorities, Rose said, and that she is working one-on-one with clients to make sure they get to their critical appointments. “We want them to get their services, and we’re bending as far back as we can,” Rose said. Some board members said they were confused by the financial documents placed before them during the meeting.

what’s going on,” Clay said. “The board was not made aware of the irregularities that have been uncovered. For a period of time, our expenses exceeded our revenue. How that was done, we don’t know.” Rose maintained that she was “not aware” of the financial problems. Rose fired former finance manger Barbara Savary after the financial problems came to light. Sandra Kuykendall, who preceded Savary in the role, returned recently to Island Transit. “The whole budget

process was misstated to the board and Martha,” Kuykendall said. “They were under an assumption that was not true.” The state audit started last week and will continue for approximately 30 days, Clay said. He added that at the completion of the state audit, he would like the board to consider a forensic audit as well. The board’s newest appointed member, Island County Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan, was absent.

“We’re getting so many different forms in so many different formats,” Clay said. “It’s all confusing. I want something that doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out. That’s been part of the problem.” Sundberg agreed that the board needed to focus on “summarizing data that makes it more clear for us and the public.” Clay explained that while the board still does not have a clear picture of what happened, they are in the process of finding out. “I don’t think the board is 100 percent aware of

Greg Gilles confirmed that he will continue to operate Kamera & Gilles with his business partner, Dennis Kamera. He said they’ve earned a good name in the county by working hard and treating people fairly, values he plans to apply to 7 Generations. “It’s all about doing a good job,” he said.

the agency’s money troubles and had been dipping into investment reserves secretly to cover expenses. But according to Savary, who could not be reached for direct comment, that “is patently false.” “Over the course of the last few years, I became increasingly uncomfortable with decisions made at Island Transit and the effect these decisions were having on the budget,” wrote Savary, in the letter to the board. “I repeatedly informed her that changes and cuts needed to be implemented to avoid the exact situation that now befalls Island Transit.” As a result, Savary was already “looking for other opportunities” when the budget shortfall became public. Rose also was aware the agency was using investment reserves to cover expenses, according to Savary. Island Transit obtained an $18 million federal grant for the new facility that was completed this year, and needed to come up with $4.4 million in matching funds. Savary claims that only about $1 million of the original $6.2 million was used to cover budgetary shortcomings, with another $5 million that she claims was used to finish the new transit facility and purchase new vehicles. “These expenditures were published in the budget and approved by Ms. Rose,” Savary wrote. “I explained to Ms. Rose that without a change in practices, our reserves would be completely depleted by May 2013.” Island Transit’s investments were at zero as of July and Island Transit had to obtain a $1.5 million bond to raise the necessary match plus $800,000 for operating costs. In her letter, Savary said Rose initially asked her to take a demotion but Savary decided instead to give a twoweek notice. During her last two weeks, Savary claims that Rose asked her to stay on, but that she declined. Then before the completion of her final two weeks, Savary claims she was handed a termination letter by Rose and was denied accrued vacation pay. Savary also countered Rose’s claim that she had left unpaid bills in her desk after her departure. “There is no basis for making this statement,” Savary wrote. “I have never knowingly put invoices in my desk. Following my departure, I was contacted on several

occasions by Island Transit staff for assistance on various issues. Never once was I asked about invoices found in my desk.” Rose “created liability” for Island Transit when she made false statements, Savary wrote. For that reason, Savary said she has consulted with lawyers but did not indicate if she plans to sue the agency. Lydia Ferguson, who drove a bus for Island Transit for 15 years until April, said she has a hard time believing that Rose wasn’t aware of the agency’s finances. “There was nothing, not one penny, that Martha didn’t know about,” Ferguson said. “She was very much in control of everything and anything that happened at Island Transit.” Ferguson, an Oak Harbor resident for 25 years, said she left Island Transit of her own choice, but experienced some health issues and was using her Family Medical Leave Act time prior to deciding not to return. Ferguson admits she wasn’t super close with most of the office staff, but she saw and heard what was going on. “I simply don’t understand how she can say that she wasn’t aware,” Ferguson said. “It was Martha’s way or the highway.” Ferguson added that she honestly believes Rose’s intentions were good and that she is committed to Island Transit, but that hubris may have gotten in her way. “I think her heart’s in the right place,” Ferguson said. “She just wanted so much for it she forgot about what’s right and wrong.” Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who also serves on the transit board, said she has been advised by legal counsel not to comment on the “possible litigation” in reference to Savary’s letter. However, Price Johnson maintains that finding out what happened is important and looks forward to the results of the audit. “My main focus is moving forward—correcting the structural deficiencies, restoring Island Transit’s fiscal health and preserving this vital service for our community,” Price Johnson said via email. Rose said Tuesday that she had not seen Savary’s letter and had no comment. Island Transit, with a $12 million operating budget, is an independent agency overseen by a board of directors. It offers fare-free transit and is funded by a nine-tenths of 1 percent sales tax and grants.
