IN REVIEW

It

was a year where what was old — an unsolved Christmastime murder, unresolved controversies at Langley City Hall, lingering lawsuits — was new again. On the dawn of a new year, the Record looks back at the news that made headlines in 2011.

Students gather to remember Zippy Leonard BY BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

LANGLEY — There, front and center in Pam Muncey’s classroom, was Tobiah “Zippy” Leonard’s empty desk. On the desktop stood her framed school picture, a lit candle and a vase of lilies, white daisies and green button flowers. Zippy, a fourth-grader at South Whidbey Elementary School, died Sunday afternoon when a tree fell on her family’s Ford Explorer. On Tuesday, her classmates and their families gathered together in grief in Room 208 at the school.

Behind her desk, three pictures were on display of Zippy hard at work in Muncey’s class. Christmas, holiday and New Year’s greetings scrawled in red, yellow and blue chalk covered the chalk board: “2012,” “Merry Christmas” and “school’s out.” Eighteen of Zippy’s 27 classmates and their parents gathered in Muncey’s room to talk about their classmate. Three of the district’s counselors, including two employed by SWES, were there to help students and parents work through the SEE STUDENTS, A6

ov. Christine Gregoire announced a plan to form a regional ferry district that would raise more money for the ferry system through a new government entity that could raise taxes in the nine counties served by Washington State Ferries. Gregoire floated the idea as the solution to the ferry system’s continuing budget woes, but the proposal was immediately met with a bipartisan iceberg. Local lawmakers and others were chilly to the idea, to say the least. “This just creates another layer of government,” said Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, chairwoman of the Senate Transportation Committee. “We already have too much government in this state.”

round-the-clock emergency pumping in the upper Glendale Creek area near Clinton helped spare Glendale Beach from the threat of flooding. The water levels on both sides of private Frog Water Road, which had increased to more than 32 million gallons this month because of a collapsed culvert, dropped more than two feet since county public works crews began pumping Jan. 5. County officials said they were worried water surging over the road would have overwhelmed two beaver dams downstream, which could have caused another flooding event for the tiny beach community of Glendale.

onsultants told South Whidbey school officials they couldn’t meet their fall 2012 construction deadline for closing Langley Middle School and moving students to a combined campus with South Whidbey High School on Maxwelton Road, and said they should give up on asking voters right away for more money to pay for the idea. The advice followed the failure of a $25 million bond measure in November 2010 that would have helped pay for the consolidation effort. SEE YEAR, A2

FREELAND — Commissioners for the Port of South Whidbey unanimously approved an agreement with AT&T at a special meeting Wednesday and will lease part of the port’s park property at Possession Point so the company can put up a 140-foot-tall cell tower. Commissioners voted 3-0 to approve the 26-page, fiveyear agreement at the close of a seven-minute meeting where public comment was not allowed. Commissioners immediately adjourned the meeting after the vote, though officials did stay for a few more minutes as neighbors to the controversial cell tower blasted the board’s

decision. “I think what you’re doing is wrong,” Clyde Monma told port officials. “And you should be ashamed of yourselves, frankly,” he added. Monma, a longtime critic of the cell tower, owns a home next to the park property where the cell tower will be built adjacent to the Dorothy Cleveland Trail. He promised commissioners after the meeting he would continue to fight the proposal. Monma had previously offered the port $150,000 for the land so the cell tower wouldn’t be built. The port rejected the offer and later pulled the property off the market. SEE PORT, A6

boat fire led to the diversion of the Clinton ferry as the crew diverted the ship to respond to a distress call from the burning boat. Smoke on the water could be seen from both shores, but residents on Whidbey got the frontporch view. “I just glanced up from my desk and all of a sudden I saw flames and the ferry heading toward it,” said Elliott Menashe, who lives near Zimmerman Road, north of Randall Point. “I looked up and just couldn’t believe it.” The Coast Guard said the operator of the 31-foot recreational vessel escaped the burning boat in a life raft and wasn’t hurt.

rillium Woods was given a new name, chosen from among 95 community suggestions received by the Whidbey Camano Land Trust. Officials announced the protected property would be called the Trillium Community Forest. “I think it’s a great name,” Elizabeth Guss, land trust director of outreach and development. “I think it’s reflective and a beautiful tribute to the scope of interest in the forest.” The land trust solicited names for the 652 acres on forest land acquired in late 2010 with $4 million in donations and loans. The name was an amalgam of individual suggestions favored by the majority of submissions. “Trillium” comes from the owners in the mid-1980s, when Trillium Corporation of Bellingham owned the land and started logging it, leading to the protests that spawned the Whidbey Environmental Action Network. Suggested names included Native American terms, labels that mentioned the Lorax, a mythical, tree-hugging sage from a Dr. Seuss book, and other, more playful proposals, such as Sassy Butt Forest.

he founder of Whidbey’s first medical marijuana co-op followed through on his pledge to destroy his supply of medical marijuana. Following perceived threats to his wife and himself, Captn Blynd stacked 11 juvenile and mature plants and a kilogram jar full of a half-pound of dried marijuana bud on top of a burn pile outside his Freeland home, poured a fifth of Monarch 151 rum tincture on it and drenched the pot with gasoline. Then, he watched his former dream of a medical marijuana cooperative go up in flames. “I’ve got nothing in the house anymore, guys,” Blynd said to reporters watching. Blynd estimated the burning pile of plants to be worth $10 to $12,000. He didn’t burn everything, however. “My reserves are now kept under lock and key in a safe deposit box.” Blynd said he planned to restructure his “utopian” co-op idea into a nonprofit, where all profit is given to a community food bank. He said he didn’t feel remorse or regret for burning the plants or proposing the co-op. “It’s just a plant,” Blynd said.

trained “cadaver dogs” would be brought in to search for other remains. Detective Ed Wallace of the Island County Sheriff’s Office said forensic evidence shows the cranium portion of a skull to be that of a male 35 years or younger. Two marks on the skull indicate the victim might have been hit with a sharp instrument such as an axe, hatchet or machete, and that death could have occurred as long as a decade ago or more. The skull was found at the waterline on Maxwelton Beach, between Dave Mackie Park and Mill Beach Lane to the north, by visitors who found it rolling in the surf. The pair kept the skull in a garage at home until Feb. 2, when it was turned over to the Mercer Island Police Department.

Mudslides continued in the dirty gray wake of a large landslide that blocked East Point Drive, hit two houses and damaged two vehicles in the Whidbey Shores waterfront neighborhood north of Langley. “It kept sliding all last night,” said Dale Strickland, a South End excavator who has worked to clear the road. The first, and largest, landslide came from a rain-saturated 300-foot-high steep bluff that sent mud, sand and vegetation, including trees, into the road in a pile of material 100 feet wide and 10 feet tall in places. Maxwelton Valley was soaked by heavy rains, and homes were left flooded along Maxwelton Beach. One of the wettest months of March on record later claimed another muddy coup — a 100-footwide landslide on a bluff overlooking Admiralty Inlet that wiped out part of a county road. It was one of several slides caused by rain-saturated earth. The largest of the slides occurred during the week of March 21, when a chunk of earth, trees and other vegetation along Susana Drive on the hill above SEE YEAR, A3

fter four hours of what seemed like constant corralling by the city’s attorney, the Langley City Council approved the preliminary plan for Langley Passage. The unanimous thumbsup was a marked turnaround from the council’s last look at the 20-home project. Council members voted 5-0 in November to shoot down the new subdivision of twoand three-bedroom singlefamily homes amid complaints from neighbors and environmentalists, who were worried the development would damage a wetland in the Edgecliff neighborhood and cause further erosion of the nearby bluff. The vote followed the council’s earlier vote in March that authorized a reconsideration of the project.

plan to form a local improvement district to finance a $40 million sewer system for Freeland was submerged by its own financial weight, officials said. “It’s on hold indefinitely,� said Freeland Water and Sewer District Commissioner Jim Short. The announcement was made at a community meeting in the Trinity Lutheran Church gym attended by nearly 200 people, many of whom applauded when Sewer Commissioner Eric Hansen broke the news. “It doesn’t mean the project is dead,� Hansen told the crowd. “But we’re not in a position to proceed with an LID at this time.� Officials said the decision was made to suspend the LID for two major reasons: A preliminary assessment done by the district’s consultant showed that the project would cost more than it’s worth under the current proposed financial structure, and that a groundswell of opposition among the owners of the 471 parcels involved was growing rapidly. A preliminary assessment done by consultants Macaulay & Associates of

he price of gas on South Whidbey rapidly passed the $4-per-gallon mark, the highest level in nearly four years. Analysts blamed the shaky political state of the Middle East, especially Libya, rampant speculation on the international commodities market, the changeover from winter- to summer-grade fuel at the refineries and increased demand in emerging nations such as China and India. “It’s not going to stop going up until we pay what everybody else in the world does,� David Lee Gordon of Freeland predicted as he prepared to pay $8.98 for little more than two gallons of regular gasoline for his lawn mower at the Freeland Shell station. “There’s nothing we can do about it,� Gordon added. “People have to wake up. The electric car is the only thing that will save us.�

ames “Jim� Huden was arrested in Guadalajara, Mexico — ending a flight from the law that stretched back to 2004. Police say Huden is responsible for the Christmastime 2003 murder of Russel A. Douglas of Langley, and that Huden shot the 32-year-old father of two as he sat in the front seat of his yellow 2002 Geo Tracker in a Freeland driveway the day after Christmas, 2003, waiting to pick up

a Christmas gift for his estranged wife from one of her friends. Investigators were tipped off in July 2004 that Huden was the triggerman in the killing, and confronted him at his Florida home during the investigation, but Huden vanished when Hurricane Charley hit Punta Gorda in the summer of 2004. In the years that followed, Huden couldn’t be found. The television show “America’s Most Wanted� joined the search in July 2008, airing a segment on the Douglas murder. The trail went cold until earlier this spring. Florida police learned that Huden was hiding out in Vera Cruz, Mexico, and giving guitar lessons under the name of “Maestro Jim.� He made his first appearance in an Island County courtroom in late June after nearly eight years on the run.

project provoked harsh criticism from residents. Critics of the sewer project said taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bills for $200-a-night hotel rooms, lobster dinners and Johnnie Walker whiskey, margaritas and beer for elected officials. Residents were most concerned about a lobbying trip that officials made to Washington, D.C. in March that totaled roughly $5,000 in taxpayer dollars. Sewer District Commissioner Rocky Knickerbocker, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, and Chet Ross, the president of the Freeland chamber and a consultant to the sewer district on the expansion project, traveled to Washington, D.C. in March to meet with Washington state lawmakers and federal officials about funding for the sewer project. Officials said the trip had a worthy goal, and said that they mistakenly submitted invoices that included items that should not have been funded with taxpayer dollars, including tourist activities and alcoholic beverages. They also noted that the county refused to reimburse the sewer district for some of the bills, including charges for alcohol and other expenditures.

Council members said Gilman’s support of the move to change Langley’s system of government and get rid of its elected mayor, and his earlier comments that current Mayor Paul Samuelson wasn’t up to the job, meant it was time for someone else to work with the administration.

The “breakout� happened at a busy intersection with stop signs on only the cross street. The traffic on Cultus Bay is very fast and the potential for an accident in this situation is high. One call to 911 and several to the sheriff’s office resulted in impatience on their part and a “no show� by the deputy they say was notified. A call to the fire department to ask if they had any volunteers who might help with traffic control was answered with, “We don’t round up alpacas.� Not what I asked. Chalk it up to poor listening skills I guess. Oooo ... not a good quality in a dispatcher, come to think of it. You may ask why I didn’t call animal control. Well, because of the numerous calls I have made to them over many years, they have never made it down here in time to take care of a situation. Never. So, to our caring neighborhood, thank you, and to you others, sorry I bothered you! JOYCE MCARTHUR Clinton

0ODF B NPOUI JT FOPVHI To the editor: Hooray for Norma Hansson. I couldn’t agree more with her “Enough about Langley already� letter to the editor. A New Year’s resolution suggestion for the Record: Less about the Village by the Sea’s endless self-inflicted wounds and more about things that really matter on South Whidbey. Environmental issues, the local impact of county and state budget cuts, Good Cheer’s work, the future of Clinton, alcohol and drug use, plans for a Freeland sewer, volunteer needs and opportunities, the school district, Island Transit and many other issues could all use more good reporting. Langley is comical rather than newsworthy, and not relevant to most people on the South End. One story a month would be more than sufficient! MAGGIE STERN Freeland

“Zippy taught me that matching your clothes was boring. Anyone can do that — it’s way more fun to clash and stand out. We liked wearing clothes with bright colors that were mismatched.� That lesson was welllearned by Annika. On Tuesday night, she wore black and bright pink, and a leopard-print scarf and hat. “Zippy and I have a friendaversary on the first day (of) the Island County Fair each year. That is the day we became best friends. That was the night of our first sleepover together — the

We go to the fair together every year on that day.� Afterward, parents were led to the gym to hear from the school’s principal, Jamie Boyd, and the district superintendent, Jo Moccia. There with them were two counselors, Rachelle Bennett and Charlene Ray. Muncey, Gray and the 9- and 10-year-olds sat in a circle on the floor. There they shared some of the feelings they were experiencing. Muncey opened the roundrobin discussion. “I’m sad, and it’s a big sad,� she said. Once each student had a chance to speak, the students began writing and decorating cards to Zippy and her family. A private memorial service for Zippy has been set for Saturday, Jan. 7 in Langley.

PORT CONTINUED FROM A1

Port officials have been mulling the potential for a cell tower — and the revenues it would bring in |— since 2009. Port Finance Manager Ron Rhinehart said there were plenty of reasons for approving the lease agreement. “It would provide us a revenue stream for the maintenance of the property, it would reduce our reliance on property tax revenues, it would improve service for residents and emergency service personnel. ICOM, the 911 service, will get free access to the tower,â€? Rhinehart said. “And [it] maintains public stewardship of the park and trail, which as we’ve seen at the state and the county ‌ is

getting harder and harder to do,� he added. The port will get a $2,200 payment within 45 days after signing the lease agreement. The actual rent payments of $1,100 a month won’t be paid until the month following the start of construction. The contract also includes an annual increase of 3 percent each year, starting in the second year of the contract. If AT&T allows other companies to use the tower, the port will receive an additional $2,400 per user. Rhinehart said the amount was “a compromise position.� “AT&T obviously has some concerns about how they will recoup their investment,� Rhinehart said. “I felt it was a good tradeoff,� he added. “We probably get a little less revenue. On the other hand, we don’t insert ourselves into the middle of that negotiation [between AT&T and parties that sublease].� The port will be able to review any proposed

subleases before they are approved by AT&T. The discussion of the agreement was short. Port Commissioner Curt Gordon recalled that local emergency officials had spoke in favor of the proposed tower, and said it would improve communications for responders. “That was a critical piece,� Gordon said. Monma, a neighbor to the port’s Possession Point park property, told commissioners their reasons for approving the lease were faulty. Monma also said it would take at least a decade for the port to realize the same amount of money through the cell tower lease that had already been offered by neighbors. “It’s a mistake financially,� Monma told commissioners. “It’s not over until it’s over,� Monma said, adding that he would challenge the project on environmental grounds during the county permitting process.

No one can remember the last time a South Whidbey boys basketball team played in a game with a running clock. After the Falcons’ 64-18 loss to the Lynden Lions on Tuesday, no one will soon forget. South Whidbey trailed 45-8 at halftime. By the third quarter, the referees asked Falcon head coach Henry Pope if he would accept a running clock, a high school mercy rule. “I don’t know if it’s legal. I don’t know if WIAA has a mercy rule. But when the referees asked if we wanted to, I jumped at the opportunity,� Pope said. “If they didn’t, Lynden would have scored 100 points.� That only helped the Falcons get out of Lynden sooner, but no less bruised and embarrassed. The Lions entered the match undefeated at 5-0, and outscored their previous opponents by an average of 28 points. In the first half, Lynden quickly gained a large lead, 25-2. Defensive pressure from the Lions forced more than 20 turnovers by the Falcons, who didn’t have a scorer with more than three points. “They really did a good job of pressuring the ball, wherever it was on the floor,� said Falcon senior point guard Sam Lee, who finished with three points. “They also were really aggressive.� South Whidbey failed defensively, Pope said. The Falcons didn’t hedge screens,

Falcon head coach Henry Pope speaks to his players during practice this month. call out screens on their teammates, bump the cutter or move across the baseline for weak-side help. “We were outplayed, outhustled, out-thought, out-basketballed, out-coached,� Pope said. “We were out-everything: outshot, out-coached, out-everything.� “We were so overwhelmed.� The second quarter was a marginal improvement. South Whidbey scored six points, but was outpaced by Lynden with 20 points. Previous lopsided losses saw the Falcons rely on their 6-foot-8 senior forward Zach Comfort. There was little consolation in trying to get Comfort the ball, as the Lions stole and deflected the Falcons’ passes inside, double- and triple-teamed him, bumped him and challenged the low post.

Comfort finished with his worst scoring total of the season — three points. Lynden was led by Nate Wielenga with 18 points. “They play physical. The referees allow a more physical game in the Northwest Conference than the refs do in the Cascade Conference,� Pope said. “Once you get beat up like that for two quarters, you get tired.� Defensively, Comfort used his size and position to take away the interior lanes with blocks and sheer size. That was fine with Lynden, which shot a barrage of three-pointers well away from Comfort. The Lions made seven threes; the Falcons made one. “They’re very good shooting the three,� Pope said. “Then again, they were wide open threes.� The 37-point difference at halftime took the young

Falcon team out of the game mentally and emotionally. Damage may have already been done, as some Falcons admitted they expected to lose. “Once we were down, we kind of let it get away from us,� Lee said. “After the first quarter, we kind of checked out. We got dunked on a couple of times, and that kind of took the wind out of our sails.� South Whidbey’s locker room at halftime was quiet. Pope and assistant coach Ed Baran gave no inspired halftime speeches. Neither of the co-captains, Lee and Comfort, stood up and challenged their teammates. Instead, Pope reminded them that they went over Lynden’s tendencies in practice, to box out on defense, to rebound, to hustle and to defend screens.

“What else can you say? They did not do a single one right,� Pope said. “It’s not like they weren’t trying. Without proper positioning, without smarts, your hard work is for naught.� Lynden’s scoring show slowed down in the third quarter to 16 points. Three minutes into the period, the referees enacted the mercy rule and let the clock run except for fouls and timeouts. Pope accepted the shortened game, but it went against his nature. “It’s against every coaching philosophy I know,� he said. By the fourth and final quarter, Lynden had substituted liberally, playing its deep reserves. Pope sat most of his starters — Lee, Comfort, junior Taylor Simmons and junior Mitchell Hughes. It allowed some of the Falcons to shine, however dimly, in the rout. Pope credited sophomore forward Nick French and junior Guy Sparkman for playing with pride and hustle. “He played to the very last whistle. Nick didn’t care,� Pope said. “That boy (Sparkman) did not quit,� Pope added. Despite losing in the worst margin in more than three years, the Falcons “goofed off� and laughed in the locker room. Pope was upset with his players’ reactions to the game. “I’ve been coaching around South Whidbey about 10, 15 years . . . there’s never been a South Whidbey boys basketball team that had a running clock imposed on them because the score was

so one-sided,� Pope said. “If you’re not embarrassed about that, you shouldn’t ever be wearing the blue and white again.� He recalled his players responding to his criticism honestly, asking whether they should laugh or cry about it. “They’ve been playing a lot more than us. I think they played like 75 games in fall and the summer, and we haven’t been,� Comfort said. “They were just a really great team.� South Whidbey returned to practice Thursday morning. Pope said everything, from watching the game film to drills, was difficult. “I found out today that yeah, they were embarrassed,� Pope said. “It showed that they had pride. They went at it.� The Falcons scrimmaged against the junior varsity team. With pride wounded, the varsity boys played more physical and aggressive than they have, which led to some “heated interactions.� “We don’t get any better with JV playing soft against us,� Comfort said. With New Year’s Day around the corner and conference play resuming Jan. 3 against Coupeville, Pope urged the Falcons to consider it a new season. Part of the new season will be a new lineup, which has yet to be decided. “We’re not going to have the same starting five, that’s for damn sure,� Pope said. “It’s Day One all over again, and we’ve had a bunch of Day Ones.�

When shaking hands with a Spanish speaking person it is customary to use the proper greeting according to the time of day. “Buenos dias” in the morning, “buenas tardes” in the afternoon and “buenas noches” in the evening. This is a bit of etiquette the Spanish language students in Jennifer Gochanour’s South Whidbey High School classes might find useful during an upcoming exchange with some South American visitors.

“Our trust has been eroded,� said Councilwoman Fran Abel. The rare reprimand was followed by another rebuke: Council members said they wanted to change the city’s comprehensive plan to remove a series of policies long-championed by Gilman that dictate growth and zoning in Langley. The public dressing-down was remarkable for a council long criticized for its chumminess and like-mindedness, but it came quickly and without hesitation. In one motion, council members removed Gilman from the position he’s held for two administrations, and gave the deputy mayor job to Councilman Bob Waterman, a short-timer who leaves the council at the end of his term in December.

Police said Kara Jo Buchanan helped her boyfriend Keayn Dunya murder his estranged wife. Kriston Dunya, 32, was discovered shot dead in her Bellingham apartment July 5 by a co-worker who went to check on her after she didn’t show up for work for two days. Officials said they recovered “significant evidence� at Buchanan’s home on South Whidbey, including a shotgun that may have been used in the murder. Buchanan pled not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder. Her trial is planned for Jan. 23.

THE MUPPETS

n the August Primary Election, voters in Langley said “no� to Prop. 1 in a landslide. In the initial vote, 76 percent of voters in the city voted against the proposal to change Langley’s form of government from the “strong mayor� model, where citizens vote to choose their own mayor, to the council-manager form, where a professional city manager oversees the day-today operations of city hall. Prop. 1 made its way onto the ballot via a citizens’ peti-

S

county’s roll of voters. Members of the citizens’ group that’s been researching the sewer issue, FAIRS (Freeland Advocates for Informed Responsible Solutions), visited the county elections office in Coupeville and asked to see the map of the Freeland sewer district that was used to verify who was eligible to vote. They said they were then shown paperwork that was dated 1981. The county later updated its voter information and added hundreds of residents to the list of eligible voters in the Freeland area.

Many residents in the Edgecliff neighborhood were vehemently opposed to the project, and their signatures on petitions calling for an election to change Langley’s form of government were instrumental in getting Prop. 1 on the ballot.

Gilman said he was leaving to devote time to other things in his life, and said his departure was not related to his relationship with Mayor Paul Samuelson, which has noticeably soured in the months prior. He also noted the impending changeover of the city council in the November election. “The council is going to get reinvigorated with fresh energy and commitment. I’m very pleased to see this and confident that the torch can be well passed to a new generation of council members,� Gilman said.

tate officials said Island County did a poor job of monitoring the spending of the Freeland Water and Sewer District on its $40 million sewer project. The Washington State Auditor’s Office released its annual audit of the county, and state auditors faulted county officials for not keeping a closer eye on the sewer district’s compliance with a 2009 contract that funneled $2.5 million in grant funds from the county to the Freeland sewer project. The state auditor’s office criticized the county for paying $24,654 in expenditures that were not allowable under the agreement

— including $15,530 that was spent before the contract between the county and the sewer district was even signed — as well as for approving thousands of dollars in airline tickets and travel costs for local officials.

hipbuilders in Freeland are anxious to get to work now that agreements are in place for Nichols Brothers Boat Builders to play a major role in constructing Washington state’s next ferry. US Fab officials announced that final agreements had been reached with the subcontractors who will help build the new 144-car ferry, including Nichols Brothers Boat Builders in Freeland. Nichols Brothers received a $17 million contract to build the ferry’s superstructure, which is the part of the vessel from the car-deck level up. Nichols Brothers CEO John Collins said the project would involve at least 100 workers.

L

angley officials decided to broaden its search for legal help in light of new revelations over the work performance of City Attorney Grant Weed. The city council had been poised to approve a one-year contract extension for Weed’s law firm, Weed, Graafstra & Benson, Inc., but quickly backtracked in the wake of a Record story that detailed how Weed’s law firm had failed to review more than a dozen ordinances that the city council had passed into law under the assumption the legislation had undergone prior legal review. Documents obtained by the newspaper showed that Weed had failed to review at least 15 ordinances and other documents sent to him

by city officials for review. Weed later signed off on the 15 ordinances in a batch, according to city billing records, and privately admitted to city officials that he hadn’t reviewed the legislation, some of which he said contained legal flaws.

sland County prevailed, finally, in a long-running legal battle against Jay Wallace, a former candidate for Island County sheriff. Wallace, a former deputy, filed a lawsuit against the county in May 2009 and claimed he had been targeted by former Sheriff Mike Hawley, who opposed his candidacy. A federal court judge said Island County was justified in firing Wallace after he shirked his duty in responding to 911 calls in Freeland where a woman was being held hostage and assaulted in early 2006. The Wallace 911 case became one of the biggest scandals in memory for the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The victim, Victoria Walker, told police she had been held against her will and assaulted at a cabin on Shoreview Drive. She called 911 twice, but Wallace, the deputy on duty who was sent to the scene, left without talking to anyone in the cabin and never came back when Walker called 911 for help a second time. The woman escaped from the home the next morning and called police from Freeland Park.

olton Harris-Moore, the “Barefoot Bandit,� returned to Island County to face justice for his two-year crime spree, and received a sentence that will put the infamous Camano Islander behind bars for seven years and three months. Before the sentencing, Harris-Moore pleaded guilty to a total of 16 counts from Island County, including theft of firearm and residential burglary. He also pled guilty to 17 counts from San Juan County.

T

he South Whidbey School Board voted to reverse a three-year-old decision to close Langley Middle School. The decision to close the historic school has been controversial since it was adopted in 2009 in response to declining enrollment and shrinking revenue. But with a new majority in place — thanks to the arrival of newly-elected members Damian Greene and Linda Racicot — the school board voted 4-1 to rescind its decision to close the iconic facility.
