Langley sewers in dire shape, council considers rate hike

Banks vows to take case to state Supreme Court

By JESSIE STENSLAND Whidbey News Group

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Aging, leaky pipes and facilities have created a foul scenario for Langley’s sewer system, and the fix is going to be a painful process of rate hikes.

Nearly $2 million worth of repairs and improvements to be made over the next 20 years were identified by a consulting group charged with creating the city’s sixyear sewer comprehensive plan. A representative with the firm outlined potential rate structures to fund the fixes, the most aggressive of which would more than double rates in just six years, from $168 every two months in the the first year to $360 by 2021.

No decisions were made, but city officials say some-

Teacher-compensation bills bi-partisan, but frustrating and lack urgency, critics say

By IZUMI HANSEN WNPA Olympia News Bureau OLYMPIA — Testifiers praised bipartisan work, but “disappointment” and “frustration” frequented their statements at the first hearings for Senate and House bills that address teacher compensation in the 2016 state legislative session.

Teacher compensation is a part of basic education, which must be fully funded by 2018 under the Washington State Supreme Court’s McCleary decision. The court deter-

The Island County prosecutor is asking the state Supreme Court to allow his lawsuit against a private attorney to bypass the court of appeals.

Prosecutor Greg Banks’ attorney, Pam Loginsky, filed the statement of grounds for direct review last week.

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said the board won’t oppose the request for direct review.

“It will save us from a greater waste of public funds as a result of this unwarranted lawsuit,” she said.

So far, the litigation has cost the county nearly $250,000 in legal fees, according to Budget Director Elaine Marlow.

Banks brought quo warrants action against land-use

mined local tax levies have paid teacher salaries, which the justices found to be unconstitutional. Since August, the court has held the state in contempt for not producing plans to fully fund basic education from a reliable resource. That order carries a $100,000 per day penalty until the court’s mandate is fulfilled.

“The apple gets bigger and the bite you’re going to take next year is going to be bigger than, probably, if you would have done it a year ago,” said Alan Burke, executive director of the Washington State School

Directors Association, during testimony. “The politics are very difficult, but the reality is it’s going to be incredibly challenging to try to take care of the entire levy-compensation issue in one year.”

The bills, HB 2366 and SB 6195, establish a task force and provide $500,000 toward consultations to create recommendations for funding teacher pay. The bills also require the Legislature to eliminate dependency on local school levies for basic educaSEE BILLS, A3

“The Kittitas is newer and bigger, but Whidbey Island commuters aren’t sure they will insist on keeping it. The newly remodeled Issaquah Class ferry boasts a second car deck above the old main deck, and it arrived last weekend for temporary service between Clinton and Mukilteo.

The additional 30-car capacity might mean a lot to commuters and tourists who are now left on the dock, but the Ferry System plans to remove the Kittitas from the route by late March, according to Ray Deardorf, service planning manager.

Whether islanders will fight to keep it remains to be seen.

“Blackie Lloyd, president of the Whidbey Island Transportation Association, on Monday wondered if the extra 30-car capacity will really speed up the crossing between Clinton and Mukilteo. “ ‘The idea of 30 extra cars looks great, but if it wastes time you’re not really gaining anything,’ he said. ‘You have to keep an open mind.’ ”

Rick Norrie said Friday, three days after the new signal began working at State Highway 525 and Main Street/Fish Road. The primary safety concern comes when people turn left off the highway onto Main Street. There is no left-turn signal, nor is there a sign telling people turning left to yield to oncoming traffic. Langley resident Bob Turner experienced a near-miss soon after the light started operating. He said when the light turned green, he proceeded to start up the highway only to be almost hit a car that turned left on the same green light. “ ‘I go and she (the other driver) whips left onto Main Street,’ Turner said. ‘It’s a rat trap there.

There’s no special light for left turns.’ ”

COUNT CONTINUED FROM A1

But the opportunity he sought was much harder to come by than he had anticipated.

For the past five years, Magowan has been without a home, camping on the streets of Oak Harbor.

In regard to homelessness, Magowan said there is much more to the picture than the snippet most people observe, or assume.

Magowan was one of several individuals who gathered at Oak Harbor’s SPIN Cafe during the open house associated with the annual homeless Point-in-Time Count Thursday.

The count, a nationwide event which takes place each January, is an effort to identify how many homeless individuals reside in each county. Groups of volunteers in each of the four main regions of the county — South, Central and North Whidbey and Camano Island — set out in search of those in the community who lack permanent shelter or live in a space not fit for human habitation.

The North Whidbey count was based out of the SPIN Cafe, while the South End count was based from the Island Church of Whidbey, both of which are regular gathering places for those in need.

At the church, visitors were offered free food, clothing, hair cuts and hand massages as well as eyebrow waxing, courtesy of a volunteer esthetician.

At the SPIN Cafe, patrons were also offered free food, as well as a chance to join in a game of Bingo. A pop-up free clothing store called the Street Store was set up outside.

Both locations also had an array of informative materials about services offered in the community.

Lists of services were also handed out by outreach volunteers, who collected contact information whenever possible for follow-up purposes.

The number of homeless individuals for 2016 will not be available for some time, but Catherine Reid, Island County housing program coordinator, said she expects the numbers for North Whidbey to remain about the same.

Central Whidbey representatives had not yet reported as of Friday morning.

Faith Wilder, president of the South Whidbey Homeless Coalition and

coordinator of the South Whidbey count, said South End numbers were about three times that of last year.

In large part, she said, that is due to the change of home base location from Bayview Hall to Island Church, where homeless individuals often congregate Thursdays to receive a free meal.

In addition, the South End was also able to count the 14 individuals currently living in the House of Hope, a temporary living facility for homeless individuals that opened just last year.

With those 14, said Wilder, the day began at half the total number counted in 2015.

In 2015, 71 homeless individuals recorded during the count resided in the Oak Harbor area, 28 on South Whidbey and 10 in Coupeville. Volunteers found none to survey on Camano Island.

Individuals were counted as “sheltered” if they were living in an emergency shelter or in transitional housing associated with a state or county organization.

Those who were “doubled up” living with family or friends were not included in the count, nor were those who were in the hospital or incarcerated.

Several homeless individuals also decline to participate in taking the survey, and thus are not counted.

In addition to the county’s count, Ryan’s House for Youth, South Whidbey School District’s Readiness to Learn program, and school district homeless liaisons did their own tallies.

Ryan’s House and homeless liaisons also tried a new technique this year, asking parents to fill out a Community Perception Survey. Youth ages 12-24 were also asked to fill out a survey. The goal of both is to gather input in order to better address the concerns of homeless individuals in the community.

County representatives will collect the information provided by school district homeless liaisons, Readiness to Learn and Ryan’s House, though unaccompanied minors, like those adults unwilling to provide their signature, cannot be counted in the state database.

Children accompanied by an adult can be counted in the state database with the adult’s consent.

“These are our neighbors; there are hardly one of them that is from offisland,” Wilder said. “These are our young people and

WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM

our young families struggling.”

More precise numbers will be compiled over the coming weeks, as county agencies have the month of Februar y to complete their data sets and file with the state. Island County Housing Resource Coordinator Joanne Pelant said she hopes to have unofficial preliminary numbers some time in the next two weeks.

Most of those counted on the South End were located during the town sweeps, in which volunteers searched the community centers of Clinton, Langley and Freeland. On both ends of the island, several campsites were found with no one present.

Many of those counted on South Whidbey were residing in vacant houses without power or water, according to Wilder.

“They are in dire circumstances,” Wilder said.

On North Whidbey, about half of those counted were living in cars. Reid noted that about half of those homeless are also employed, something she says is often not realized by the public.

“These are folks that have jobs and are contributing members of our community, so we should make every effort to ensure they are part of our community in terms of their housing,” she said. “I think that’s something folks really miss when they’re talking about homelessness.”

A lack of affordable housing is something Reid and others are working to address alongside county commissioners, she said.

Reid stressed that the count is merely a snapshot; the whole story is much bigger, and more complex.

LANGLEY Affordable housing gets council’s OK Everything was in order and smiles were abundant as the Upper Langley permanently affordable co-housing development received its final approval Monday night from the Langley City Council.

The privately funded development will include 16 homes on about one acre on Al Anderson Avenue across the street from Langley Woodmen Cemetery near the city limits. The development took advantage of the city’s affordable housing ordinance, which allowed for regulatory flexibility in exchange for the public benefit of permanent affordability and other

community assets.

Upper Langley lots cost $60,000 plus an additional $15,000 for community costs that go toward a common house and other communal amenities such as solar panels. Building costs are incumbent upon the owner. Home values can only rise with appraised capital improvements and on outlined and agreed upon annual percentage increases of 1.5, 2 and 2.5 staggered every decade.

Some questions arose from the council about water pooling near the main entrance to the development. A large pond formed between the cemetery and Upper Langley after heavy rains in recent weeks. Chris Korrow, one of the property owners/developers, said because the development got some of its

Hospital Oak Harbor are reporting an increase in confirmed flu cases, said naval hospital spokeswoman Trish Rose.

It’s hard to pinpoint exact numbers because some doctors’ offices don’t test for the flu, they just treat the illness.

Those who do aren’t required to report confirmed flu cases to the county unless there is a death, although she does hear from clinics and hospitals, said Colleen Keefe, Island County’s communicable disease coordinator.

What she’s hearing is the flu is not as bad as it was in the past few years.

Part of that might be because of an aggressive effort to vaccinate personnel at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, she said.

If you haven’t gotten a flu shot, it’s not too late to get one, she said. Flu cases are expected to continue to increase.

Flu is a serious contagious disease that affects people of all ages. It can cause mild to severe illness and in some cases lead to hospitalization and death. Symptoms may include fever, chills, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headaches and fatigue.

thing will need to be done. Rates have increased for the past several years, but it simply wasn’t enough and Langley may be at a reckoning.

“It appears we’ve kicked the can a number of years,” Mayor Tim Callison said. “It may not be the end of the road, but it’s close.”

Paul Weller, a senior planner with PACE, told the council that inflow and infiltration from cracks, poor connections and roots in places are adding ground water to the sewer system, putting an undue burden on the treatment facility on Coles Road. Years ago, the city had an inspection of its sewer lines that revealed the problems and allowed a map to be created for PACE to outline what needs to be done, when and how. Once repairs and improvements are made, ongoing and maintenance will help prevent further issues, Weller said.

“All of these have costs associated with them,” Weller said as he described some of the 31 capital improvement projects in the general sewer system plan.

The commissioners and Banks point to each other as the cause of the high costs associated with the litigation. Banks claimed that the private attorneys hired by Drummond and the commissioners unnecessarily delayed and complicated the straight-forward question of law with depositions and personal attacks. He said his side of the litigation is supported by the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys and doesn’t cost the county anything.

essary waste of public funds on the part of Banks and the association.

“If they wanted to have a different state law they should be working with the legislature,” she said, “not pursing costly litigation.”

Banks lost that argument in Skagit County Superior Court last month when the judge granted summary judgment in favor of Drummond and the commissioners.

The judge found that the commissioners’ contract with Drummond, which was approved by the presiding superior court judge, was valid under RCW 36.32.200.

tent among residents, Councilman Thomas Gill said.

“It’s an eye opener for me to see what kind of deficits we’re facing,” he said, adding that the city could get a large chunk of its financing through new hookups by existing residences still using individual septic systems.

The city last completed its sewer plan in 2009, at which time the council approved annual rate increases based upon the consultants’ recommendation.

Councilwoman Rene Neff, the only current council member who served then, asked why the city is again facing this issue of utility deficits.

Randi Perry, Langley utilities supervisor, said most of the capital improvement projects on the current list where on the same list seven years ago. But, because other issues arose that needed funding, and the rates were not enough to cover everything, the projects were shelved.

Also, higher projections for population growth, and thus new connections and added monthly users, may have led to a false accounting for revenue.

“This case presents a fundamental issue affecting the government of all 39 Washington states,” the statement for direct review says. “Who chooses the legal advisor to county officials?

Can each official or body of officials select his, her, or their own advisor, to serve at public expense? Or do the voters select a single person who will advise all the county officials, by electing a county prosecutor?”

is served by nearly seven miles of city sewer lines. Langley went through about 76,100 gallons of sewage per day in 2014. The sewer treatment plant can handle 150,000 gallons per day.

Average American household use, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is 100 gallons of water per person per day. The national wastewater target, however, is about 40-60 gallons per person per day.

Finding ways to fund infrastructure — sewer, water, storm water, street — improvements is a challenge facing the United States as a whole. With major work done after World War II, some of those projects are now showing their age, such as bridges falling, lead poisoning, etc.

“It’s an issue across the country where infrastructure is failing,” Neff said.

In Langley, the burden is likely to fall on residents who will see their rates sharply increase in the years to come. The council did not vote on either the sewer projects plan or financing plan, and will revisit the issue at a later meeting.

Editorial Record looks to better legislative coverage The time has come for a change at the South Whidbey Record.

And it starts with this issue.

Simply put, we haven’t done such a bang-up job covering the goings on in Olympia the past few years. Readers have noticed, and we’ve heard them. We can do a better job keeping readers up to speed about the legislative session and what lawmakers, particularly our lawmakers, are deciding on our behalf.

Utilizing an internship program available through our membership with the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association, we’ll be picking up stories over the next six weeks — this year’s session is due to end March 10 — that relate to or may have ramifications for South Whidbey. Check out our page 1 story about two bills concerning teacher compensation.

We’ll also be hosting a newspaper-sponsored get-together of all three of our 10th Legislative District legislators in Freeland later this month. The event is set for 10 a.m.

Saturday, Feb. 20 in Whidbey Telecom’s conference room adjacent to the WiFire Coffee Bar. Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor; Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton; and Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano will all be in attendance.

The purpose of the event is to give readers a chance to meet and speak with those who represent them in Olympia before the session ends. So do your homework now about all the bills you support, detest or have questions about because you’ll have a chance to tell them just how you feel. Our attending lawmakers will have about 10 minutes each for opening remarks, but the remaining hour is reserved for questions from the crowd and a breakout period where each elected official will host their own discussion table. For those too shy or are otherwise unwilling to ask their questions in front of a crowd, this is their chance. That was Smith’s idea, and it was a good one.

On that note, it’s not often we have all three of our state lawmakers under one roof on South Whidbey, especially during mid-session. The last time was in 2014, and that was after the session ended. So we think it’s pretty cool that they were all willing to make time to meet with constituents when it matters most and when it’s the most challenging to do so.

Also, thanks are owed to Whidbey Telecom and Co-CEO George Henny. He graciously and generously agreed to let us use the space, and on short notice. Very cool.

So there it is. We’re committed to doing a better job keeping readers up to speed about state issues that relate to South Whidbey, and hope this will serve as a good start.

Vote ‘yes’ on proposition 1 for South Whidbey schools Editor, On Feb. 9, registered voters in the South Whidbey School District have the opportunity to support their school system by voting “yes” on the replacement maintenance and operations levy.

There are a number of reasons why we should pass this levy. First, it is not a tax increase. This levy will merely replace the expiring levy that we passed two years ago. Second, it will provide much needed money to help maintain the school’s physical plant. It will also augment funding for instructional costs such as classroom supplies and it will help offset losses in state funding.

We all know that the education of our youth is the key to the future.

Our schools are struggling financially and they need our help now more

Response

Shutting out local fishers contradicts port’s mission Editor, It’s unfortunate a few bad apples have caused the Port of South Whidbey commissioners to severely curtail the use by the public of the new Langley marina floats for crabbing and fishing. If all businesses and public venues on South Whidbey were closed to the public due to the inappropriate behavior of a scant few, the streets of Langley would be dark and empty year-round.

My husband and I spent many hours out on those floats during the past two crabbing seasons and found most of our fellow crabbers

and fishers to be friendly and considerate. Furthermore, visiting boaters were often excited to see what we’d hauled in and wished us luck.

They didn’t seem to mind rubbing shoulders with the unwashed masses of South Whidbey, despite the port commissioners’ desire to hold the floats sacred for paying customers.

It would seem shutting out local crabbers and fishermen contradicts the port’s mission statement: “To enhance the economic well-being of the community and improve public access to marine areas while respecting the unique rural character and environment of South Whidbey Island.” Tourism is great for local businesses, but shouldn’t the port also benefit local individuals, the people who pay taxes to support port properties?

If access to crabbing is restricted to only nine people per week, then wouldn’t it be fair to go a step further and limit it to those who reside within SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

the port’s boundaries? Let the out-of-towners crab in the districts their tax dollars support and leave this small stretch of dock for the locals who can’t afford to crab out on the water.

We have to wonder, if it had been the out-of-town boaters with their tourist money in hand who had misbehaved, would the port have curtailed their use of the new floats?

Somehow, we doubt it.

Cops checking IDs on Wonn Road goes too far Editor, On Jan. 25, a police officer asked me if I saw anyone snooping around Bruce Montgomer y’s property on Wonn Road in Greenbank, the property currently under dispute in court over a wall that blocks public access to the shoreline. I said, “No, just a man on the end of Wonn Road leaning against his car looking through his binoculars to see the whales.” Then the police asked the man for his ID; he was with the Orca Network.

I think the wall shouldn’t be there because the beach belongs to the people and they should have the right to go watch whales if they want too.

There aren’t any other places to go to the beach.

Chamber music was first class, a cut above Editor, A public expression of appreciation is due the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island for bringing such high quality musicians to Whidbey Island.

The chamber music concer t I attended Saturday evening was first class, easily the best I’ve heard on Whidbey. Also, live music is such a cut above recorded music, not just because of the sound quality but also because of the pleasure of watching five skilled and energetic musicians communicate with one another by eye contact and gesture.

Bozin takes over LMS wrestling program

By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record It was chance that led 26-year-old Robbie Bozin to become head coach of the Langley Middle School wrestling team. Bozin, who works in the warehouse at the Freeland Country Store, spotted South Whidbey High School assistant coach Paul Newman wearing Falcon wrestling apparel. Bozin, a former collegiate wrestler and three-time state finalist at Carson High School in Carson City, Nev. in the mid2000s, expressed his interest in coaching wrestling. As luck would have it, Newman told Bozin that the middle school wrestling program was in need after former coach David Monell stepped away.

Bozin and the Cougars, who are in their second week of practice, have been drilling side-by-side with the Falcons at South Whidbey High School. The opportunity has served a double purpose, Bozin said. Bozin keeps a keen eye on the way Falcon head coach Jim Thompson runs his practices and the techniques he teaches. The goal, he hopes, is that the programs can eventually feed off one another.

Around a dozen kids have turned out for the program, Bozin said, which is a positive sign after the program lost some of its traction over the years. Thompson noticed that Bozin knew the names of all his wrestlers within the first two days of practice.

“The blend is really work-

The wrestlers’ progress thus far has been uplifting for Bozin. He said he’s been teaching the grapplers the basics of the sport such as stance and takedowns.

“Good, actually really good, surprisingly good,” Bozin said of the wrestlers’ progress. “We had four kids who wrestled last year and that was it. I think they’re just absolutely doing great.”

“Just getting a feel for what it’s going to be like out there on the mat. The fundamentals, the first things you need

to know, so you don’t get taken down,” he added.

Eighth-graders Sam Martin and Michael Cepowski wrestled last year for Monell. They’ve both been impressed with Bozin’s knowledge of the sport in the early parts of the season.

They’ve also enjoyed Bozin’s positive coaching style.

“He’s really nice, he’s made it a lot more fun,” Martin said.

Bozin, who has wrestled since he was 5, brings ample experience to the program.

A standout during his prep career, Bozin reached the state finals of the Nevada

Interscholastic Activities Association 4A State Wrestling Championships three times. He fell short of titles all three times, however.

Bozin wrestled for one year at Northwest College in Powell, Wyo., but due to changes in his priorities, he stopped competing.

“It was just wrestling my whole life,” Bozin said. “I just kind of turned 21 years old and I said, ‘Yeah, I think I’m done. I’m done cutting weight.’ I was burnt. I took a break for a minute.”

Like most wrestlers, the sport left a lasting impres-

sion on him. It was his experiences, both negative and positive, which ultimately drew him back. Though he’s never held a head coaching position, Bozin has coached on and off as an unofficial assistant coach at his alma mater while going to school in Los Angeles. During this time, his parents moved to Whidbey Island. Bozin would often come up to Whidbey during his summer breaks to fish and relax.

“I just fell in love with the island,” Bozin said. “A little piece of my heart always stayed whenever I went back

to L.A. I just wanted things to slow down.”

Bozin said his goals for the program include being as good a coach as he can be and teaching fundamentals on and off the mat.

“There’s so much more to wrestling than just being on the mat,” Bozin said. “When you’re down and you’re hurt or you’re trying to push yourself, that all happens in life as well. You’re going to get down and you’ve got to find somewhere to dig down deep and push yourself back up, and I really just want to push those fundamentals.”

Thompson, who is contemplating retirement at the end of the season after 12 years as head coach, is happy to see a young and energetic coach take over the middle school program.

“Both Paul (Newman) and I are enthusiastically happy that he’s the one who got the job,” Thompson said. “You never know what to expect, but he’s going to be phenomenal because of the energy he bring.”

Bozin said if the opportunity were to present itself at the high school, he would be more than willing to take it.

“Of course I would,” Bozin said of taking over the high school program.

“I’m really happy that I can have my own little practice and get the basics down and in a sense, be like a feeder program,” he said. “Even in the coaching world, I can just coach the young kids so hopefully, eventually I can move up and coach the high school kids and keep those same fundamentals.”

Age makes no difference in orchestra Youth players hold their own in community orchestra

By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record Sean Miles and Avrey Scharwat share a passion for playing classical music just like everyone else in the Whidbey Island Community Orchestra. The only difference between them and their colleagues is a number.

Miles, 15, and Scharwat, 16, are among 14 youth players in the orchestra which consists of strings, winds, brass and percussion.

The youth musicians, who count for nearly a third of the orchestra, include both South Whidbey High School and Langley Middle School students.

The age gap is considerable.

Most members are between the ages of 30 and 60, but Miles and Scharwat don’t see it as a negative.

“Well, I wanted to play in an orchestra,” said Miles, who plays the double bass. “There’s really Evan Thompson / The Record not a whole lot of other opportuniSean Miles, 15, is one of 14 youth players in the Whidbey island Community Orchestra.

READY TO MOVE?

Whether buying or selling a home, your moving date will be an important consideration.

Also called the “possession date”, it is one of the items which is negotiated and included in the contract of sale.

Possession dates are most often established in relation to the “closing date”, the date on which the purchase money is paid and the title transfers to the purchasers. In a contract, the possession date may read “upon transfer of title and disbursement of funds”, or merely “at closing.”

Is possession always given at closing? Not necessarily.

Remember, it is negotiable.

It can be whatever date is acceptable to both buyers and sellers.

The possession date may be “fourteen days after closing” or “seven days prior to closing.”

Notice that possession is still relative to the closing date.

If possession occurs on any date other than at closing, a short term lease agreement should be prepared. It should include the amount of any rent to be paid, what happens if the sale is not consummated, who is responsible for damage or needed repairs during the lease, etc.

All agreements related to possession should be in writing. Any changes made after the contract has been signed should also be reduced to writing and signed by all parties.
