Temporary ramp fixes installed on new ferry

Funding fallout sinks Snohomish PUD’s

Tidal turbine project

Late audit may result in Transit finding By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Island Transit was late with paperwork related to an audit, which is likely to have findings showing the misappropriation of federal funds, according to Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley.

Snohomish County PUD was planning to use an OpenHydro turbine, similar to this model that was tested in Nova Scotia, for a tidal energy project in Admiralty Inlet near Keystone Harbor on Central Whidbey. The project has been halted for funding issues.

By KARI BRAY The Daily Herald Confusion about a funding agreement contributed to the sudden end of an eight-year, multimillion-dollar tidal energy project near Whidbey Island. The Snohomish County Public Utility District announced Tuesday that it will no longer pursue a research project that would have placed two undersea turbines in Admiralty Inlet. PUD officials said the could not move forward because the U.S. Department of Energy decided not to fund a full 50 percent of the project. Steve Erickson of Whidbey Environmental Action

The robbery was preceded by what police believe was a phony 9-1-1 call. A man’s voice reported the possible shooting of a woman in the Freeland area. As police responded, the bank was hit. Detective Ed Wallace, spokesman for the Island County Sheriff’s Office, said tracing the call was largely a dead SEE BANK CASE, A20

Network, however, said he believes a conflict with the company that owns a fiber-optic submarine cable system was what really doomed the project. Pacific Crossings was laying the groundwork for a lawsuit, he said. “They were not at all pleased with having the turbines 100 meters away from the cable, which is considered essential national infrastructure,” he said. “And rightly so.” Both WEAN and Pacific Crossing filed as intervenors with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission after the PUD submitted a license application for the project.

It’s been nearly a month since the armed robbery of Wells Fargo Bank in Clinton, and while police have yet to make an arrest detectives say they are making progress. The Island County Sheriff’s Office confirmed they have established three “people of interest.” The case is still an ongoing investigation, howev-

er, and department officials declined to release their identities. “We’re still working on leads that may indicate a suspect, but I’m not willing to name anyone now,” Sheriff Mark Brown said. Wells Fargo was robbed at gunpoint Sept. 8. The suspect, wearing a mask, sunglasses and a camouflage jacket, stole an unreleased sum of cash and made his getaway in a bank employee’s car.

about the $500,000 project. Most voiced their displeasure with the cost, lack of need and look of the bridge and elevator, dubbed the Langley Lift. “It’s a self-inflicted aesthetic wound,” said Brian Lowey, a Clinton resident. Of the more than 25 people at the Wednesday afternoon meeting, only two spoke in favor of the project. Pam Schell, widow of Paul Schell who initially proposed the project and offered the city a place to land the elevator and an easement on Wharf Street, defended the plan. She noted that it would make the marina more accessible to mobility-impaired pedestrians and allow better access for boaters to the city. Both of those points were quickly countered. One man said his friend, a paraplegic, was able to get

Claudia Pettis stands behind the minimalist “Veils of Reality” installation at Earth Sanctuary. Earth Sanctuary, a sculpture garden and nature reserve on Whidbey Island, has introduced the first in a series of outdoor minimalist sculptures called “Veils of Reality.” The sculptures were designed by Chuck Pettis, founder of Earth Sanctuary, and his wife Claudia Pettis, a classically-trained and award-winning artist. The pieces use a reclaimed, transformed sacred object as a contemporary mirror uniting the principle of Tibetan Buddhism with modern minimalistic art, according to a recent press release. The sculpture incorporates a black steel square plate with a multi-layer translucent fabric. The steel plate was part of a sacred Tibetan Buddhist fire ceremony conducted by His Holiness Jigdal Dagchen Sakya, head lama of Sakya Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism at the Earth Sanctuary Buddhist stupa monument. “The use of paired opposites creates a balancing force that facilitates transcendental experience, that is, the ability to comprehend phenomena that cannot be explained objectively,” said Chuck Pettis in a press release. “This principle is integrated into all the sacred spaces at Earth Sanctuary.” “If we look hard and long at a pure piece of art, we will be looking at ourselves in a new light,” said Claudia Pettis. “‘Veils of Reality’ encourages viewers to view their lives with new insight and perspective.”

Prowlers, Growlers likely used in ISIS air strikes By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record

A senior Air Force officer and a federal lawmaker both have said in the past week that electronic attack aircraft based out of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island are likely being used in Syrian and Iraqi air strikes. Congressman Rick Larsen, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, said in an interview last week that while he couldn’t say for sure, it was his understanding that electronic attack aircraft are routinely used in air strikes of that nature. In a press briefing this week, F-22A pilot Maj. Gen. Jeffrey L. Harrigian told reporters that 74 percent of the air strikes are being conducted by the U.S. Air Force and that U.S. Navy electronic attack aircraft are likely assisting, according to SeaPower magazine. Harrigian would not say specifically how the Growlers and Prowlers are being used, but noted that “as you look at the packages that have been put together, there have been electronic warfare assets as part of the packages, depending upon what kind of targets they were going after and where those targets are located.” In August and September, more than 240 air strikes were made against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), SeaPower reported. Navy aircraft participating in the strikes are F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft from the carrier USS George H.W. Bush, Harrigian said. Electronic attack support in the air campaign is being provided by Navy and Marine Corps EA-6B Prowler

Dan Wood, an electronic countermeasures officer, explains the capabilities of the EA-6B Prowler, parked behind him. aircraft and a squadron of EA-18G Growler electronic aircraft is en route to the region onboard aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson. The Navy is currently in the process of transitioning all their electronic attack squadrons from the Prowler to the Growler, although Prowlers will still be flown by the Marine Corps. NAS Whidbey Public Affairs Officer Mike Welding said he couldn’t identify which squadrons are currently deployed to the region because the military action is in progress. Requests for more specific information about which

Prowler and Growler squadrons are and will be deployed to the region from Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet were forwarded to a participating air craft carrier for input. A response was not received by press time. Harrigian said the use of airpower against ISIS “will be a persistent and sustained campaign,” according to SeaPower. “We see airpower as one of the fundamental components of the comprehensive strategy,” Harrigian told reporters. “We also recognize that airpower alone will not destroy ISIL.

A Growler squadron comes in at Ault Field earlier this year. this current phase, airpower has been decisive in a couple of key areas: preventing the massing of forces on a large scale, degrading ISIL’s command-and-control capabilities and working to impact ISIL’s finances. “The bottom line is: airpower’s targeted actions are disrupting ISIL’s command and control, logistics and infrastructure, and their freedom of movement.”

WHIDBEY Police warn of phony currency

Candidate forums have election Q&A

Saturday, October 4, 2014 • The South Whidbey Record

WEATHER REPORT | Sunny skies ahead! But expect cold mornings and evenings in low-50s. Highs near 65.

The Island County Sheriff’s Office is warning people and businesses on the South End to be on the look for funny money. Sgt. Laura Price said police received at least two reports this week of counterfeit money being used at South End businesses. Brown pens designed to detect phony bills confirmed they were fake, she said. So far, the counterfeit currency received has been $20, $50 and $100 bills. Fake money used at businesses should be confiscated and the police notified, Price said. Also, merchants should try to get a name and description of the person who used them. To make a report, call the sheriff’s office via 9-1-1.

Orcas coming into Sound for salmon Hot on the tails of spawning salmon, experts expect orcas to be in Puget Sound this month. After spending most of the summer in the San Juan Islands, Southern Resident orca pods venture into Puget Sound for the fall and early winter months, Orca Network announced in a news release this week. They

typically travel down Admiralty Inlet to south of Vashon Island chasing chum salmon runs, which start around Oct. 1. Orca Network, a Langley-based advocacy group, has added a new online map of north and central Puget Sound to make observing whales from landbased viewpoints around Puget Sound easier. The new map is available at www.orcanetwork.org/ Viewpoints.html.

Candidates hoping to earn an elected position and firearms initiatives in the November general election will participate at two public forums this month. Sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island and Sno-Isle Libraries, the first is set for 6-9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 20103 Highway 525 in Freeland. Candidates for the following offices have been invited to participate: Island County treasurer, Island County District 3 commissioner and 10th District state representative. A second forum is 6-9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, at the Elks Lodge, 155 NE Ernst St. in Oak Harbor.

LANGLEY City reloads on I-594 support Langley is unholstering its previously proposed support for Initiative 594 in a procedure to be considered by the Langley City Council on Monday, Oct. 6. Specifically, the city leaders will discuss the standard practice for resolution requests. At the last city council meeting, people vehemently spoke against the city considering the mayor’s proposed support of I-594. Earlier this year, the city considered a citizen’s requested support against coal trains. The new practice is for the city “not to take formal positions (pass resolutions) on matters that don’t directly involve the conduct of city business,” according to language in the proposal. The council is also scheduled to discuss Langley’s emergency ordinance restricting the demolition of historic

WhidbeyTV partners with high school in new program By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

South Whidbey High School students now have the opportunity to learn camera operation techniques with real-life application thanks to an independent study mentor program developed by WhidbeyTV. Presently, the group consists of five students who film football games, usually with the assistance of a WhidbeyTV staff member on lead camera. But according to Jeff Greene, graphic design, video production and yearbook instructor at South Whidbey High School, the plan is to eventually film additional events and subjects such as public service announcements, boosters and theater and band performances as well as more sport activities including basketball and volleyball. Greene said students learn set-up, operation and filming techniques. WhidbeyTV then processes and edits the footage before placing it on the South Whidbey School District station. “This is stuff that we can’t do in a classroom,” he said. “We’re trying to teach a real world lesson and experience; and hopefully they’re having fun.” “I think it’s a great opportunity,” said Joe Davies, one of the student program participants. Davies said he would like to pursue a career in acting after high school and is intent upon gaining knowledge of various facets of the media busi-

ness. Elli Sandberg noted that although she is unsure what specific career she will pursue, it will almost certainly have to do with media, computers and technology. The digital media program is helping her to obtain the necessary skills prior to graduation. Cedar Rossel said he would like the opportunity to film the jazz band and perhaps even create a documentary-style reality show. Greene explained that prior to the WhidbeyTV collaboration, the high school’s only options for sharing its video productions were YouTube or streaming. With the new program, students are able to gain experience using professional equipment and seeing their work broadcast on a local network. “It’s phenomenal,” said Greene. Patricia Friedman, director of programming and production at WhidbeyTV, noted that the company believes strongly in community involvement and cooperation. “What’s so great about this is it is a win-win situation,” she said. “We could have three people come out and shoot this, but it wouldn’t support the community as much as mentoring and inspiring and getting the kids to feel like they are knowledgeable and empowered to go out and create content.” She added that the goal is to create an avenue for communication both between the Whidbey community

aware that there are a lot of talented people on this island who have experience behind the camera. … This is also a call out to say if there are people who are interested, by all means, reach out. This is only the beginning of this mentor program, and we have a lot of phenomenal people on this island.”

Editorial Loss of tidal turbine project a loss for all Years of work, millions invested, and in the end it appears the financial currents of affordable energy proved too much for Admiralty Inlet. This week, the Snohomish County Public Utility District announced it has scrubbed its research project exploring tidal energy in the waters between Fort Casey on Central Whidbey and Port Townsend due to unexpected financial problems with its partner, the federal Department of Energy. What a shame. One of the great topics of the world today is the use of fossil fuels, their link to global warming and the ever increasing focus and development of sustainable and renewable energy sources. Puget Sound would have become the only place in the Pacific Northwest — and one of the few on the planet — where the potential of tidal energy was being explored, all on the west side of Whidbey Island. Beginning in 2006, the project proposed to install two 414ton turbines on the sea floor, which would have provided enough electricity to power about 100 Whidbey homes. The idea was to study the potential of tidal turbines as a longterm energy source. The price tag was initially estimated at $20 million, with funding being split equally between the utility and DOE. That plan came crashing down this summer, however, as costs mushroomed to $38 million. The terms of the agreement between the two parties are in dispute, but essentially DOE officials say the deal was that Uncle Sam would pay up to $10 million, no more. Utility leaders said Tuesday that the partnership was crucial, and that it couldn’t justify the project without additional financial assistance. The fallout comes after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued Snohomish PUD a license in March, and after the power company had already invested about $3.5 million. DOE’s lack of financial support for the project is unclear as agency officials declined multiple requests for an interview this week with The Record’s news partner, The Daily Herald. Also, the decision flies in the face of President Barack Obama’s outspoken position on renewable energy. Just this week in an address at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, the president emphasized the importance of investing in clean energy technologies as a machine for job creation. Snohomish PUD’s tidal turbine project was the real-life embodiment of such statements, and to see it crumble under a lack of commitment from federal partners is unfortunate. Western Washington was one of the handful of communities ready to put its money where its mouth is, and instead of becoming a beacon of light in the shade of renewable energy we’re left with a tide of regret.

Letters Response

A tax-supported transit is defensible, smart Editor, Regarding Mr. Rose’s letter on Sept. 17 advocating fares for riding Island Transit, I am concerned with his final statement: “Nothing is free.” Really? Are you seriously advocating that only those who pay for police or fire protection receive their benefits? Schools, libraries, roads, bridges, parking lots, emergency health care, parks … the list of public services is long. Nothing should be free to use? I do not share your vision. I have been a regular Island Transit rider ever since I came to Whidbey 12 years ago. I would be able and happy to pay a fare if that’s what’s needed to keep the transit system going, but I’m even more happy to support free transit for all if that’s what

will get more people to ride a bus. Use of transit reduces congestion, pollution and the number of parking spaces needed, plus it increases safety, reducing the need for emergency services. All these are benefits to those who never ride a bus. This is why tax-supported transit is not only defensible, it’s smart. And that’s before we even consider the benefits of enabling those who cannot drive to be productive (employed), participating members of our community. NANCY HEPP Clinton

thankfully, uncharacteristic of your commentary. I cannot imagine anyone more regretful of the cuts in services and staff than Martha Rose. Whenever I or my guests have ridden the bus over the past nine years, we have appreciated the notable courtesy, friendliness, cleanliness, and efficiency of our Island Transit system. I believe such extraordinary and consistent service starts at the top. Martha radiated customer service as the top priority, and she deserves respect for her many years of intelligent dedication to this community. Though she did contribute to its existence, I also cannot imagine anyone better equipped than Martha to pull the transit system out of its financial crisis. I was grateful that the board was allowing her to quickly pursue this, until the bully came along. Let’s get on with what is best SEE LETTERS, A7

for the public, especially for those most dependent on public transportation. I am not so sure that this will happen now with the political posturing and the demoralization of employees, as well as the inevitably slow process of search and training. “Transit ser vice cuts implemented across …” Whidbey island? No, these have been articles about Metro in Seattle for the past several months. The financial management of public transportation is extremely challenging, especially when the public is divided about its importance. We have been blessed indeed to have had exceptional management for such a long time. My heart goes out to both Martha and the transit staff as they wait with the rest of us to see if their “baby” remains so well tended. Thank you all for your excellent service.

Nuñez claims are outright lies Editor, I am writing this letter to address the outright lies that my wife, Ana Maria Nuñez, your Island County treasurer, is not dedicated to her work and the citizens of this county. As a 23-year veteran, I’m fully aware of what it means to be dedicated and I can honestly say Ana Maria exemplifies that. She works evenings and weekends when needed. The staff knows they can contact her if there are questions or issues that they feel need her attention or clarification. This past spring, Ana Maria was diagnosed with cancer. Though we recently went through this illness with her sister and mother, we were overwhelmed when faced with it ourselves. She scheduled her surgery so as not to be absent when month-end reporting needed to be completed. She returned to work half-days the following week because she knew the office was short staffed. She scheduled her daily treatments and appointments in the afternoons so she could work daily. So I ask you, is this the behavior of a person that is out of the office 50 percent of the time as alleged by her opponent? Do not believe the misinformation that is being said

by her opponent. Attend the upcoming debates in October and get the facts so that you may make a more informed decision come November. Her accomplishments serve as proof of her commitment.

Langley Lift idea not without merit Editor, As reluctant as we are to wade into the controversy over the Langley Lift, as merchants and property owners in Langley we feel obliged to state our support for some sort of conveyance to bring visitors up from the marina to town. This ought not turn into a squabble between those trying to make a living in Langley and those who live here and shop elsewhere. We all ought to believe in sensible economic development and it is sensible to find some way to help visitors get up the Wharf Street “Hill of Death”. For over a decade, we have been active in promoting events in Langley such as Mystery Weekend, Whale watching, Choochokam, the fair; and DjangoFest. Increasing attendance to those events is good for all of us. Now that we have a splendid marina, we could increase attendance at our town events if we found some way to get visitors up that darned hill from the marina. Some of us recall when the Victoria Clipper brought visitors to our events. What most do not know is that the Victoria Clipper would only come to Langley if we provided shuttle buses to carry their passengers up the hill. In recent years, the Victoria Clipper has refused to schedule stops in Langley, giving as their reason for going on to Coupeville for lunch, the unwillingness of their passengers to walk up our steep hill. Even when the whales they are watching are con-

centrated around Langley, it is hill-less Coupeville who benefits, not us. Shuttle buses won’t work. We have been active in the launching of the Langley Main Street Association-run electric shuttle which has been hauling a few folks up the hill for over two years. Our experience is that no matter how cute and useful this limited service might be, it is no substitute for a genuine and permanent system for visitors. Our view is that there ought to be some design for a lift/funicular/escalator that would fulfill this important economic development need without detracting from our spectacular view along Cascade Avenue. Even a Star Trek teleporter needs a transporter room at both ends. Let’s just make sure the place to which Scotty beams us up is as unobtrusive and attractive as possible.

Langley Lift would block view shed Editor, I am against permitting for the Langley lift. I have lived in the area for 30 years and the panoramic view along Cascade Avenue as you come into Langley is one of the delights of the area. I hear tourists and locals alike marvel at that view when I am at work in downtown Langley. Why blight it with anything at all? If the view weren’t important why would the trees be trimmed? Why would the sign be there identifying the mountains in the panoramic view? This view is enjoyed by everyone using that road. The elevator would accommodate a small percentage of those people. View blockage was one of the reasons most people were against Richard Francisco’s venture. Boaters who dock at the marina do walk up to visit Langley. I hear fewer boaters grouse about the walk than I do locals who can’t park directly in front of the

store they want to shop in. One of the great things about Langley is that you can walk everywhere if you want. Paul and his wife have contributed beautiful things to Langley. If a memorial to Paul is needed, let’s find another way to show appreciation than with a project that will divide the community and help only a very few. Let’s not forget that we now have taxi service and that the Main Street Association is voluntarily manning a shuttle from the marina up to and around the downtown corridor during the season. Why not use the available funding to purchase an enclosed van for the winter and inclement summer weather and employ local people as drivers? DEBORAH EIMERS Langley

Dudley a champion for transit change Editor, It is time to start basing our opinions about government agencies on facts, not emotions. In a recent letter to the editor, a writer speculated that Scott Dudley sounds to her like a bully. He is an official from Oak Harbor trying to bring accountability to a badly mismanaged Island Transit. The problems there are deep and run from the top down. Scott Dudley is anything but a bully. In late 2011, Dudley learned that a man in Vancouver needed a kidney to save his life. He donated a kidney in 2012 to save the life of a stranger. Perhaps it’s time to speculate that the problems at Island Transit deserve such a champion to clean them up. And a public willing to face facts.

Elections

‘Un-GOP’ Congress this November Editor, As we approach another election, it is incumbent on us in the electorate to be sure we don’t allow the Grand Old Party to continue to GOP-up the government. In the last six years the GOP has used every devious ploy to keep the government from running properly, from not confirming presidential appointments to filibustering every piece of progressive legislation put before it, even legislation that was first proposed by them. They do this, not for the sake of the people, but just to embarrass the president at the expense of the people, which their leadership has clearly stated. The GOP continues to use this ploy not only on the national stage but also in state and local government. This is a terrible waste of taxpayer revenue, having a government that we pay for accomplishing nothing. The GOP makes sure your tax dollars are wasted. We must not let this continue. They try, in every way, to suppress voter turnout. They use the mega-dollars of their corporate overlords to buy elections with misleading ads. Fortunately, so far, corporations can’t vote, but people can. I implore every registered voter to vote in this election, and un-GOP our government at every level. Be an ever loving GOP-stopper and vote Democratic. Sincerely, JOHN C STONE Coupeville

Falcons avoid third five-set match, beat Cougars By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Avoiding another five-set match was right next to winning on the South Whidbey volleyball team’s priority list Tuesday night. Early, it seemed it might not go the Falcons’ way. South Whidbey corrected its course after quickly losing the first set, and went on to win 15-25, 25-19, 25-16, 25-20 over Lakewood. “We just weren’t fired up,” said Falcon senior Anne Madsen, who had team highs of 15 kills and 19 digs with three aces — a quarter of the team’s total 12 serving aces. “We were a little bit frazzled. But we came back together and showed how South Whidbey plays.” “We knew we didn’t want to go to five sets,” she added. Exactly which rotation and lineup works is still a matter of tinkering for Falcon head coach Mandy Jones. South Whidbey’s six starters were not the same closers, with junior Morgan Davis and sophomore Kacie Hanson on the floor with seniors Abby Hodson and Madsen, and junior setter Katherine Read and junior libero SEE VOLLEYBALL, A9

VOLLEYBALL CONTINUED FROM A8

Sara Bryant. “I think we finally found a set rotation to close the game,” Madsen said. Bryant, usually relegated to the last line of defense, saw an increased role in the offense. She played behind all-league liberos in previous seasons and saw limited court time with the varsity squad. Jones said she developed a pair of plays designed solely for Bryant, who recorded five kills from the back row against Lakewood (2-4 Cascade Conference; 2-4 overall). “It’s something I had to look at because she’s such a strong hitter,” Jones said of her libero. Bryant was integral in the Falcons’ defense. After losing the first set, largely on the heavy hand of Lakewood senior Katie Anderson, who scored a game-high 21 kills and added 10 digs, Jones moved Bryant to the left corner to dig Anderson’s shots.

Winter classic ‘The Nutcracker’ returns

It worked. The Falcons went from having little offense in the first set - only scoring five kills - to jumpstarting their plays to victory. Lakewood put up quite the fight in the fourth set. The Cougars roared back from a 14-9 deficit to force a 16-16 tie. Both teams never pulled away much until South Whidbey (2-4 Cascade Conference; 3-4 overall) recovered from a pair of mistakes and tied again at 19-19 on a deep tip to the corner by Hanson. An unlikely block from Davis put the Falcons ahead for good and kept the ball in South Whidbey’s serve for a Hanson ace. Madsen scored a kill and an ace, before Davis got a kill to push the Falcons’ lead to the brink. On Thursday, South Whidbey handled the winless Sultan squad 25-11, 25-14, 27-25. The victory was a big one, as the Falcons need to finish atop the league’s 1A schools to secure a high seed in the District 1 tournament. Sultan dropped to 1A this year, creating four such schools in the Cascade Conference along with King’s, Cascade Christian and South Whidbey.

CivilWar veteran receives headstone,memorial unites family By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Janet Howard Zuvela’s grandmother never spoke of her family. She speculates that perhaps, buried somewhere deep in the annals of family history, lies a secret, a quarrel, or a figurative skeleton in the closet responsible for her grandmother’s silence. It was only four years ago that Howard Zuvela walked into her best friend’s kitchen and, unbeknownst to her, encountered one of her maternal relatives, Wickliffe Guy Newell III, for the first time. “She didn’t know she had a family … when we all showed up just a few years ago, she was overwhelmed,” said Wickliffe Guy Newell III. Since then, Howard Zuvela has embraced her newfound family and has hosted regular reunion barbecues, relishing in the group’s inclusivity. On Tuesday, Sept. 30, Howard Zuvela and several fellow Newell relations and friends gathered to pay respects to their ancestors interred at Bayview Cemetery in Langley and to express gratitude for the recent installation of their great-great grandfather’s marble headstone — his grave had previously been unmarked. Among the family members were several residents of Skagit and Island County including Audrey Spencer Newell of Clinton and her sister

Laurie Newell as well as fourth and fifth generations of Wickliffe Guy Newells. “It’s an amazing thing, I met all of this wonderful family,” said Howard Zuvela. Howard Zuvela’s grandmother’s father, Wickliffe Guy Newell I, was born on May 22, 1846, in Trumbull County, Ohio. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he attempted to enlist in the 7th, 8th and 23rd Wisconsin regiments but was rejected due to his young age. When he turned 18, he finally succeeded, enlisting as a private. According to Daniel Newell, his great-great grandfather was nothing if not persistent. Wickliffe Guy Newell III noted that in 1865 his greatgreat grandfather became a scout for the Buffalo Bill Wild West show and the wagon trails full of European settlers. Eventually, he and his wife Mary Ellen relocated first to Colorado and later to Whidbey Island where he built a fish hatchery near Maxwelton Road, established a post office and Masonic lodge and worked as census taker for Island County. He died Jan. 30, 1932 in Everett. Wickliffe Guy Newell III said he learned of his namesake’s life story through the family’s stories and research on the Internet — the same way by which he and Howard Zuvela were able to connect, with the additional aid of mutual friends and acquain-

He first began trying to find his greatgreat grandfather’s burial site about seven years ago. Armed with the knowledge that his great-great grandfather was buried at one of two Pacific Northwest Bayview Cemeteries, he mounted his bike and rode to Whidbey where he visited Langley City Hall and informed staff of his desire to find his ancestor’s grave, which he supposed would be located at Langley’s Bayview Cemetery. Much to his surprise, he said, he received an answer almost immediately; a former mayor of Langley was present and said he had gone to school with members of the Newell family. Due in part to work by the Genealogical Society of South Whidbey Island, records regarding Bayview cemetery graves had been established. Moments later, the two

were driving to Bayview Cemetery where Wickliffe Guy Newell III laid eyes on the place where his great great-grandfather had been laid to rest; a numbered marker rose from the ground, no name was present. “I always wanted to make sure he had a nice headstone so family could go there and find him,” said Wickliffe Guy Newell III. With help from the Department of Veterans Affairs, a veterans memorial program, Visser Funeral Home and friends in Island County, Wickliffe Guy Newell III saw to it that his ancestor received a proper marble headstone in mid-September of this year. “I felt a lot of relief; it felt pretty good,” said Wickliffe Guy Newell III, adding that it appears that many individuals are unaware of their deceased relatives’ burial

I wanted one of my grandkids or great-grandkids to find out [where Wicklifee Guy Newll I and other ancestors were buried].” Surrounding Wickliffe Guy Newell’s grave are nine

other Newell family members, some of whom have also been interred without proper headstones. According to family members, plans are in the works to ensure that all of the deceased, including Wickliffe Guy Newell’s first wife, receive their own markings.

ing pieces to keep cars from bottoming out. At the top, the metal trapezoids reduce the angle for cars transferring from the ramp to the deck. Cars with low clearances were reportedly scraping as they were sent to the second-level car deck. Once the problem was identified, Washington State Ferries workers were tasked with sending vehicles with higher clearances to the top and keeping cars, mostly sedans, on the bottom. Potential problems with the ramp design were raised by state legislators after hearing from ferry workers in February, months before the Tokitae went into service. State Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, after learning that cars indeed were bottoming out on the Tokitae, called for an immediate fix and massive changes in ferries leadership.

TRANSIT CONTINUED FROM A1

Washington State Auditor’s

“The ramps are simply systematic of what we’ve been dealing with since as long as I’ve been in the Legislature,” Smith said Friday in a phone interview. “It shouldn’t have been that difficult when your crew members … are giving you feedback on operating performance,” she added. “The management needs to listen and weigh it carefully.” One Tokitae crew member said the plates are working, confirming a ferries division news release. Shane Thrasher said during a Friday morning sailing from Mukilteo that the Tokitae’s crew is able to load the boat the same as others, without sorting cars as diligently based on their undercarriage. Cost estimates for the design, fabrication and installation of the eight prototype inserts for the Tokitae total $66,000. Another $100,000 is figured for the permanent installation, which will be done in December when the Tokitae is pulled out of service for

Temporary changes have been installed on the upper car ramps of the Tokitae this past week to prevent cars from scrapping the floor. a scheduled maintenance period. All of the money spent on fixing the ramps will be covered in the contingency of the original contract with Vigor Industrial.

The temporary plates were installed to simulate the transition without cutting into the ferry’s structure. Washington’s second Olympic

class vessel, the Samish, is currently under construction and will have its ramps modified for an estimated $242,000, according to Ferries Communications Director Marta Coursey. Any other Olympic ferries will not have added costs for incorporating the changes. Three Olympic class ferries are contracted to be built by Vigor for $387.5 million. “It didn’t have to be that way,” Smith said. “We could have saved dollars if there was a culture of openness to good ideas within the agency.” The new ferry will dock at a new location in a few years. In late August, Washington State Ferries received the Federal Transit Administration’s Record of Decision about the proposed new Mukilteo terminal. An open house about the project and its environmental impact mitigation and construction is scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8 at the Rosehill Community Center, 304 Lincoln Ave., Mukilteo.

LIFT CONTINUED FROM A1

from South Whidbey Harbor up to the city with the help of Port of South Whidbey’s harbormaster. Nell Anders, who identified herself as an avid sailor, said fellow boaters would neither need nor use the elevator. She described the sailing community as people who would come up for a meal or to grab snacks from the grocery store, but would not be lugging anything unwieldy around that would necessitate an elevator rather than strolling down Wharf Street. “This makes no sense,” she said. “There would only be a couple of bags of groceries, and they would carry those downhill. Down hill.” For years, Langley has looked at connecting its commercial core to the marina. Currently, it’s accessible only by Wharf Street, a narrow road with a single sidewalk up a steep hill. With the recent expansion of the dock space and further expansions planned in the years to come, the port district and the city are looking at ways to make it easier for people to get from their boats to parking areas atop the bluff and around Langley. Grant funding for the project was secured from Island County’s Council of Governments. At first, about $242,000 was earmarked for the city to widen Wharf Street, the only vehicle access to the marina. That was scrapped in favor of a pedestrian transport, initially a funicular — a pod on a track that clung to the bluff and moved adjacent with it, rather than straight up and down. City officials previously reported that the cost of the funicular was too high at around $800,000. Eventually, the funicular idea was abandoned when the private partner group that used to own the property at the base of

Neither man was in favor of the city approving or pursuing the project. the bluff dropped its development plans for the Drake building. The Schells ended up buying the lots and have development plans for a four-story building adjacent, but not connected, to the Langley Lift. It would have a street-level restaurant and three stories of suites for rent as a waterview inn. Langley secured another $260,000 in Rural Economic Development money for use in its pursuit of pedestrian access down the bluff. One man at the planning board meeting chastised the city for seek-

ing to use it like “free money,” when it came from taxpayers. The funicular, which hasn’t been considered in months and was largely the pursuit of former mayor Larry Kwarsick, resurfaced at the Sept. 30 meeting. Eric Levine, a Langley resident, said the city could get a top-of-the-line model from Hill Hiker, a Minnesota-based company, for under its budget of $500,000 and have money leftover for a maintenance fund — the topic of which was a sticking point for several people in the crowd: How would the city

fund its regular maintenance and use? Questions were also raised about why the city was not instead choosing to invest in the Langley Main Street Association’s electric golf cart shuttle program. Planning Board Member Aaron Simpson, who is also on the board of the Main Street Association, said getting volunteers to run the shuttle has been difficult, especially during the busy summer months. During summer, the association has hired an intern to run the shuttle that loops around Langley’s commercial core, including the marina. Simpson also defended the Langley Lift’s utility as a general benefit to residents and visitors. He noted that even as a young, able-bodied male, it’s an undesirable stroll up and down the Wharf Street hill. After nearly 90 minutes discussing the Langley Lift, and with several people having spoken multiple times and interrupting one another, Simpson called for an abrupt shift of topics to the city’s Comprehensive Plan update. His motion was seconded by Board Member Roger Gage. That prompted all but a few people to get up and noisily leave in the middle of the board’s action. Sue Walsh, the board chairwoman, said the Planning Advisory Board would need more time to consider the issues before giving a recommendation to the city council. Next for the project, Arango will present the project to the city’s Design Review Board. Previously, Arango said the Council of Governments has requested progress on the project by year’s end, or Langley could lose the funding. The city will continue to accept public input on the view assessment, which may be submitted in writing to City Hall, Arango’s email jaran go@langleywa.org or online at design langley.org.

Be the icing on their cake... THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: CANCER, LEO, AND VIRGO.

Week of October 5 to 11, 2014 ARIES

You need some rest and relaxation. A few friends inspire you to embrace new trends. You enjoy shopping, and seeing what’s out there leads you to adopt a new look.

TAURUS

At work, there is a good chance that you’ll be given a big promotion. You increase your customer base considerably, all while improving your work and family life balance.

GEMINI

If you have young children, you feel more reasonable and responsible than usual. You get organized and start to cultivate a more active social life by participating in group activities.

CANCER

A spur-of-the-moment trip with loved ones is decided upon. You feel the need for a more active social life, but you must balance that desire with spending quality time with family or spouse.

LEO

You are inspired by some kind of training course that is quite out of the ordinary. You are able to decipher certain information or translate a message that has left other people scratching their heads.

VIRGO

You are often able to restore harmony after a disagreement or a quarrel. You could succeed in getting rid of some bad habits as well.

LIBRA

Try to participate in the various activities that your friends suggest this week. The need to move and a competitive spirit will help you to get back in shape fairly quickly.

SCORPIO

You are given new responsibilities at work that require you to review your wardrobe. You are more relaxed about meeting people, and they notice you have a great presence.

SAGITTARIUS

It is definitely hard to get you out of the house this week. You devote all your energy to family. Some of your relatives may rely on your generosity.

CAPRICORN

Germs tend to spread quickly at this time of year. Protect yourself in order not to irritate your airways, especially as you’re more sensitive to allergens than usual.

AQUARIUS

Even if there is some confusion in the air, you are able to express whatever comes into your head. This clarity brings you lots of answers and you are quite reassured about certain topics.

PISCES

There is plenty of action ahead this week. Your work and your money occupy much of your thoughts. You also think about your career, if your current one isn’t living up to your expectations.

LIBRA, SCORPIO, AND SAGITTARIUS.

The opportunity to make a difference is right in front of you. SAGITTARIUS

SAGITTARIUS

After careful consideration, you make some significant changes in your life. You thoroughly review your priorities and decide on a future that better suits you.

You are suddenly popular. You are guided by your intuition and you show great creativity. You have great success with a creation of an artistic nature.

CAPRICORN

You tend to say yes to everyone and put too much pressure on yourself to keep your promises. A sizeable decision seems difficult to make without the right information.

AQUARIUS

You work a few extra hours, which significantly improves your financial situation. Afterwards, you want to devote a little more time to your love life.

Time is a scarce commodity for a lot of people. Even if you manage yours with great skill, you might have to wait a while for a few other people.

You put yourself in a great position to be noticed. You feel proud of yourself. At work, you are given some kind of reward, or at least some warm applause.

Think Inside the Box Advertise in your local community newspaper and on the web with just one phone call. Call 800-388-2527 for more information.

While Erickson said he’s obviously in favor of clean energy, he prefers small-scale projects over the “industrialization of the Puget Sound.” The Department of Energy agreed in 2010 to share some of the costs. At the time, the project’s price tag was $20 million. Now, both agencies dis-

pute what they agreed to four years ago. PUD General Manager Steve Klein says the DOE was going to pay half of the project cost, which was promised in a “gentlemen’s agreement.” DOE officials say their contribution was spelled out in a clearly framed contract, and they’ll give no more than $10 million — half of the project’s cost when the contract was signed. Costs have since ballooned to $38 million. When DOE officials last week told the PUD they wouldn’t get anything beyond the $10 million, the PUD decided to kill the project. The federal agency contributed $3.5 million in taxpayer money to the project before the plug was pulled. “In our perspective, it was understood that they were a long-term partner,” Klein said. “Now, as we’re heading into the final go or no-go, they denied funding.” Jose Zayas, director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Wind and Water Power Technologies Office, last week denied a PUD request for an additional $8.85 million.

In an email to Klein, Zayas wrote that the DOE was committed to contributing the original $10 million. “By maintaining this level of funding, the program is honoring our signed contractual agreement and maintaining the integrity of the competitive award process,” Zayas wrote. He urged the PUD to consider “downscoping” the project to bring it back within budget. He also acknowledged the “burdensome review, licensing and permitting processes” PUD officials have cited as the main reason for cost hikes. “It is my hope that we can find a path forward,” Zayas wrote. The PUD has spent less than $8 million on tidal energy to date, with about $3.5 million coming from the Department of Energy, Klein said. The deadline for contractors to bid on manufacturing and installing the turbines was Wednesday, the day after officials announced the end of the project. Because the project is the first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, and one of few around the world, the initial

$20 million price tag was a rough estimate, Klein said. Since 2006, the district has wrestled with a complex and expensive permitting and licensing process, Klein said. Unexpected fees, studies, delays and challenges, along with specific site and installation requirements, added up to more than expected. Six months ago, the PUD received its final license and the OK to move forward with preparing an underwater site and installing the two 414-ton turbines. The PUD has about a year to either start construction or rescind permits for the project. Officials plan to rescind. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that anybody was bad or foolish,” Klein said. “[The Department of Energy] didn’t need to come through with that 50 percent, but we made it clear that we couldn’t justify moving forward without the funds. The real question is, why didn’t they think it was worth funding?” Officials with the Department of Energy declined multiple requests for an interview. In a written statement, the department said it has remained true to

the original $10 million contract and cannot change the terms to award more. In addition, the department tries to be fair and support various projects around the country. “SnoPUD was able to successfully navigate both state and federal permitting processes to become one of the few projects to acquire a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pilot license,” according to the statement. “Other developers can learn from the challenges SnoPUD encountered and ideally complete all permitting and regulatory requirements more efficiently.” The underwater turbine pilot project started in 2006. The PUD, which often seeks renewable energy sources, wanted to study the viability of tidal energy as a longterm power source. Turbines to capture tidal currents to generate electricity were to be installed 200 feet underwater off the west shore of Whidbey Island.

BANK CASE

photo of the masked robber appeared to be Shorey. Shorey is currently wanted a $10,000 felony warrant for unrelated charges of Burglary in the 2nd Degree and failure to appear in court. In a Thursday interview with the South Whidbey Record, Shorey’s father, Matt Shorey, said the family has since been interviewed by both sheriff’s deputies and federal marshals. He emphasized that while no conclusions can be drawn from the surveillance photo, he feels certain the voice belongs to his son. “You can’t say it was him in the camouflage jacket, but the voice? Definitely,” Matt Shorey said. “That was our son,” he said. When you live with someone for that long, he added, you get to know the way they talk, they way the put words together, their inflections. Matt Shorey said his son’s whereabouts are unknown, and speculated that he may no longer be on the island. However, he added that despite being wanted by police he doesn’t appear to be hiding out completely, as he updated his Facebook page this week. “I hate to say it, but he’s making asses out of the sheriffs,” Matt Shorey said. Wallace declined to say whether Shorey is a person of interest or a suspect in the

robbery. Wallace said department policy is to refrain from doing either in criminal cases until they can establish probable cause or if there is any fear that doing so would drive them into hiding. Wallace said he couldn’t be sure that Shorey, or the other two people of interest, aren’t already aware that police are considering their alleged involvement in the robbery, but that it was a department procedure. “I can’t say they don’t know; we’ve generated a lot of attention from our looking,” he said. The police blotter included at least one other tip concerning the robber’s identity — a person other than Christian Shorey — but it was a single anonymous tipster and the person is not known to be wanted. Wallace said the sheriff’s office has not been idle, that detectives are “actively seeking” people of interest in the case. Anyone with information is urged to call the Island County Sheriff’s Office via the ICOM dispatch center at 360-679-9567. Matt Shorey said the family is worried about Shorey and that if this goes on any longer that he or someone else will get hurt. “He’s our son; we love him but we can’t condone what he’s doing, not at all,” he said.

end. The bogus report was made on a “warm line,” which is a phone without a service provider but one still capable of making a 9-1-1 emergency call. Also, the phone was not GPS capable so the origin of the call could only be tracked to within a 2-mile radius of a Clinton cell tower — a total area of 4 miles. Detectives may have caught a break, however, with a recording of the call that was released online and to the South Whidbey Record. According to the Sept. 10 police blotter, a written log of 9-1-1 calls, the voice was identified as that of Christian Shorey by four members of his immediate family. Each called in to report that they believed they recognized the voice and wanted to notify police; at least one also said they believed a surveillance
