Marina work looms

Dan Boydston drills into the concrete bulkhead to install an ADA ramp to the Langley Marina. His company, Anacortesbased Neptune Marine Construction, Dive and Salvage, was contracted to construct the ramp for disabled people to reach the marina. The project was expected to last about five days and concrete will be poured around the rebar structure Monday, Nov. 19. Much more marina work is included in the Port of South Whidbey’s 2013 budget.
Port adopts 2013 budget
Work begins on Langley Marina expansion project BY JIM LARSEN Record editor The Port of South Whidbey commissioners adopted a 2013 budget Tuesday with considerably less revenue than was received this year. There’s no mystery to the change. Earlier this year the port sold $850,000 in bonds to help fund the Langley Marina expansion project. In future years that money will appear on the expenditure side, rather than revenue. Work started this week on a small portion of the marina project — removing old pilings along the public boat ramp and installing new ones, along with floats. The commissioners adopted the smaller of two budget options. The budget option dropped included
a hoped-for grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to buy two boats, one for the sheriff’s office and one for South Whidbey Fire/EMS. “The FEMA grant looks a little shaky,” Port President Curt Gordon said Thursday. He said it’s still a possibility, but the commissioners weren’t confident enough to include the $1.06 million FEMA grant in next year’s budget. The budget adopted totals $2,110,159 in receipts. Local property taxes were raised by the legal limit of 1 percent, which will bring in $525,000 at a rate less than 10 cents per thousand of assessed value. A couple of other major local money-makers include $138,040 in revenue from Langley Marina for moorage and $37,550 from parking fees from the Humphrey Road lot above the Clinton ferry dock. Outside revenue is highlighted by several grants from various agencies to help fund the Langley Marina project, the largest being $1.2 million from Island County. Another grant for design work at Possession Beach Park totals $74,000.
The final anticipated spending total of $2.64 million is $532,000 more than the port will bring in, but Gordon said that was expected with major work on the Langley Marina scheduled to begin next year. The port will start the year with an estimated $1.12 million in cash. The port’s various parks and properties all come with a cost. Costs at the Humphrey Road lot are pegged at $23,260; Possession Point Park, $42,852; Clinton facilities, including the park and pier, $20,600; and Bush Point facilities, $18,736. The port’s administration costs for 2013 are pegged at $391,809. The largest costs are for salaries: $45,760 to pay the clerk, $66,503 for the operations manager and $63,310 for the finance manager, plus benefits. The port expects to spend $30,000 on comprehensive plan work next year. For travel, $1,000 is set aside for the three commissioners and $14,000 for the staff. The commissioners’ per diem pay for attending meetings will total $10,500.

LANGLEY Langley presents budget to public The Langley City Council will consider the 2013 budget in the second of two scheduled public hearings Monday. Mayor Larry Kwarsick is proposing an $11.3 million budget. Although almost twice as large as the $5.5 million budget adopted in 2012, more than 50 percent of it is made up of unsecured funding. It includes $2.8 million in loans, $3 million in grants and a $700,000 bond. Nearly all of that would be put toward a variety of infrastructure projects, from road resurfacing and waterline improvements to building
a funicular and starting a pilot program for Sunday bus service between Langley and the Clinton ferry terminal. The budget also includes the addition of a fourth police officer, a 4 percent cost of living increase for the city’s 13.5 staff and a 1 percent performance bonus awarded to six workers who earned enough points through a city employee incentive program. State law requires the budget to be adopted before the end of the year.

More planes may come to Whidbey More new Navy sub hunters could be flying around Whidbey Island than originally anticipated. U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen said this week the Navy is considering increasing
the number of squadrons of Boeing-built P-8A Poseidon aircraft at Whidbey Island Naval Island Station. The Navy will study three alternatives to its 2008 Record of Decision, all of which would result in the basing of more aircraft at Whidbey Island. “This news shows the Navy’s steadfast commitment to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and provides further assurance that the future of the base is secure,” Larsen said. “I have been a determined advocate to bring the P-8As to Whidbey Island. It is the right decision to serve our national security and it protects the future of the base on Whidbey Island.” The jet-powered P-8As will replace the propellerdriven P-8 Orions that have been based at Whidbey for decades. The patrol aircraft are known for their submarine hunting abilities. The 2008 Record of Decision calls for the basing of four fleet squadrons, a total of 24 aircraft, on Whidbey Island. The alternative plans being considered as part of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement could bring as many as seven squadrons and a total of 49 aircraft to Whidbey Island.

In our opinion Don’t rush on recycling program One of the more colorful terms in politics is “lame duck,” the phrase used to describe a politician serving out his or her term after being defeated in election. Having been shot down in the election, lame ducks usually lose some of their ability to fly high and instead wobble across the finish line with ruffled feathers. Because they do not have to answer to voters again, lame ducks should sit back and refrain from helping to implement any costly new programs. Leave that kind of stuff to the elected successor. The lame duck on the Board of Island County Commissioners is Angie Homola, who is pursuing a curbside recycling program in the unincorporated areas of the county that looks like it will be costly to homeowners, particularly seniors who produce very little garbage. The county put out a “make me an offer” proposal and got a response from only one firm, that being the present provider, Waste Connections, which locally still goes by the quaint name of Island Disposal. Waste Connections operates differently than Island Disposal when it was locally owned. Island Disposal ran its own recycling operation, hiring folks who otherwise probably couldn’t get a job to separate recyclables from garbage at the county’s main transfer site. Waste Connections, Inc., a multi-billon dollar company with operations in 29 states, did not continue that program, so recycling was stopped, other than that done by the thousands of Whidbey Island residents who care about the environment. They do their own recycling at county transfer locations or the privately operated Island Recycling in Freeland. The details of the Waste Connections proposal were printed in Wednesday’s Record and more will follow. But the bottom line is it could be a costly proposition for many islanders trying to survive in a hostile economic environment. Homola should back away from her pet project to reduce the county’s “carbon footprint.” We have no idea what her successor, Jill Johnson, thinks about the program, but she’s the one who should start making the big decisions in January. Homola should not be pushing to adopt this program before she leaves office. Take a long Thanksgiving break. Spend a couple of weeks in Hawaii over Christmas. Her heavy lifting in Island County should be over.

Free speech OK, obstruction isn’t To the editor: This morning, Nov. 13, at about 9:45 a.m., I arrived at the Freeland Post Office and noticed that there were several sandwich boards and a table and umbrella adorned with political slogans. These items were placed in such a manner as to obstruct free passage of pedestrians along the sidewalk starting at the limit of the post office parking lot and down past the first sign post going toward Payless. I reported the obstructed sidewalk situation in person to the clerk at the Freeland Sheriff’s station. I presented photos that clearly demonstrate that you can’t get by the set up without stepping into the roadway. This same group with the same equipment was here some weeks ago and I also reported the obstructing of the sidewalk at that time. A deputy drove by

and reported that he saw no violation. I spoke personally with the deputy and he told me that as he interpreted the law, if you could step around it, the pathway was not obstructed. I don’t think he is correct. I can’t understand the hesitation on the part of the sheriff to enforce the common sense rule of not allowing the pathway to be obstructed. I have not heard if a deputy has looked at the current situation. My complaint is about the obstruction, not their message. I have participated in signature gathering events and other demonstrations and have always been told that a table could not be set up on the sidewalk and that free passage of pedestrians could not be infringed upon.

County moves ahead to accept Mutiny Bay beachfront property BY JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter Island County officials have begun taking steps to secure nearly 300 feet of Mutiny Bay beachfront property into public ownership. Steve Marx, assistant director of Island County Public Works, confirmed Thursday that the department had started the process to legally transfer the shoreline property into government hands. Owned by longtime former South Whidbey resident Frank Robinson, the founder of the Robinson Helicopter Company, the
now California resident has for several years wanted to donate the beach to the public. Robinson’s health is failing and family members assisting with the donation have expressed a desire to complete the transfer by the end of the year or as soon as possible, according to Marx. The process is somewhat time consuming, involving several steps including official approval by the Island County commissioners, and Marx said he was unsure whether they would be able to get everything wrapped up by New Year’s. “We’re hoping to get it done by the end of the year
Brought to you by:
or very shortly afterwards,” Marx said. Public Works Director Bill Oakes presented the board with the donation proposal early last month. At the time, he explained that due to a limited parks staff and budget, he was hoping the Port of South Whidbey or South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District would step up and take on the property. While both junior taxing districts have since made it clear that they are willing to discuss the possibility of future partnerships, neither moved to accept the property outright. Officials from both public agencies expressed concerns about associated maintenance costs of the property, from garbage pickup to the expense of providing a place to sit, said Terri Arnold, director of the South Whidbey Parks
& Recreation District. “It’s hard for us to jump in with both feet before we know what the expectation will be,” Arnold said. A joint meeting with the parks district, the port and the county was proposed to discuss the beach’s future management, but getting representatives from three public agencies together just before the holidays is like herding cats. Arnold said she has been trying to hammer out a time when everyone can meet but has so far been unsuccessful. She reaffirmed, however, that the parks district is interested in the beach front. “I think the parks district will definitely have a role there but we need to understand all the ins and outs of the property,” she said.
Providing Outstanding Service and Excellent Results

attended the meeting Tuesday but the couple themselves were represented by Arnold, a realtor. While not rejecting the offer out-of-hand, Gordon was concerned about the $250,000 proposal. He said it is for two parcels of land totaling about 20 acres running to near the end of the parking lot for the park’s boat ramp. The upper portion has already been surplussed, he said, and the appraisal on that alone came in at $250,000. Commissioner Chris Jerome, emphasizing he was speaking only for himself, not the port, sent an email Friday about the Monma’ proposal, and was particularly concerned about the lower portion. “The land they have offered to purchase is not
for sale, and even if the port wanted to sell it, we could not legally do so without a lengthy public process,” he wrote. Jerome added that in his opinion, the proposed cell tower would have “minimal impact on the trail or the uplands around it,” and said the port will maintain the area for hikers while receiving “much-needed revenue” from the cell tower lease. The Monmas asked for a response by Dec. 12, so the commissioners set a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4, in the port office, located beneath the China City restaurant in Freeland. It’s not the only item on the agenda. Among other subjects to be discussed are permits for the Langley Harbor project, progress with a FEMA grant and the comprehensive plan.

Seniors power running program back to state meet Senior moments: girls run together, ‘state’ together BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter South Whidbey High School was once again represented by a team at a state competition. It had been more than a few years, but the Falcon girls cross country team qualified for the state 1A championship. Veteran runners carried South Whidbey much of the season. And where the boys team lacked seniors (save one) the Falcon girls were flush with five. Lillianna Stelling continued her run as the team’s leader. The other Falcon seniors were close behind. Nora Felt emerged as a dependable second finisher, with Bonnie Klamm vying for third place until a foot injury knocked her out of the state meet. With Klamm out, Anna Hood jumped at the end of the season as the Falcons’ final scorer (the first five finishers’ points are counted toward the team score). Finally, Kelsey Hardaway spent most of the meets as a junior varsity racer, but traveled with the team as its alternate, warmed up with the other runners then became one of their loudest supporters — she brought a megaphone to the state meet in Pasco. Here are their reflections on their 1A ninth-place finish, careers and each other.
What was the most difficult aspect of cross country? Nora Felt: The mental aspect. No one is making you run or depending on you. In the trails, it is just you and your thoughts. Lillianna Stelling: The most difficult aspect was probably getting up for morning practices in the summer. Kelsey Hardaway: For me, it was the mental aspect. Cross country is just as mentally taxing as it is physical. You have to try to forget any pain and push through feeling tired. It’s something that’s difficult for me. Bonnie Klamm: For me, the competition is the hardest part of cross country. As an individual sport, you focus more

South Whidbey’s girls cross country seniors have a lot to smile about. In the program’s first year in the return to 1A sports, the Falcon veterans qualified for the state championship. From left are Nora Felt, Bonnie Klamm, Kelsey Hardaway, Lillianna Stelling and Anna Hood
on your times instead of a team score. It can be hard not to compare times — especially when workouts are categorized by speed or time. This year we’ve had an especially good varsity team, which means competition is tough. But I love these girls and try to give them as much support as I possibly can. Anna Hood: Breaking bad habits! I had to ration my sugar intake and get to bed early enough to have eight hours of sleep. What did you enjoy about running 5,000 meters through rain, wind, mud and bugs? Felt: The feeling of accomplishment. After you’re done, you look like you’ve just been through a battle, and we have in a sense. Stelling: I enjoyed embracing the mud at Seaside (Three Course Challenge) and the mud and crazy rain at district. When the weather got bad, I just convinced myself I loved it, when in reality I’m not a fan of running while it’s raining cats and dogs. Throughout my years of cross country, I have to admit I have accidentally swallowed a
few flies. Hardaway: As strange as it may sound, it’s fun. Afterwards I always feel a sense of accomplishment. Klamm: Running always gives me such a thrill. When you tack on rain, wind, mud and bugs it just becomes even more memorable. These elements give me an underlying feeling that I accomplished something — something tough. Hood: People can’t judge us for being dirty. They don’t have to know we like mud puddles! Why were there so many senior girls this season? Felt: We started our freshman year and fell in love with the sport and each other. We stuck together and made every season memorable. Stelling: There were so many senior girls this season because we’ve been such good friends in this sport since seventh grade. We have a certain bond that formed from the sweat and tears shed throughout our years in cross country together. Hardaway: Four of us have been here since seventh grade and one since sophomore year. We all just love the sport and the
people involved in cross country. Klamm: I know the other senior girls have been running since middle school. I missed out on this, and ended up joining my sophomore year. Just as I fell in love with the sport, I believe they did, too. I guess other kids just don’t know what they’re missing out on. Hood: We were a tight group starting in middle school. I guess we were all lucky to end up in the same grade so we could go through all these years together. I remember being in preschool with Bonnie and my daddy ran at North Idaho College, the same as Kelsey’s dad. Lilli and Nora have been friends since preschool, too, and again we were all pretty close at a young age. It was destiny! We were all meant for each other. Which was your favorite course and why? Felt: Cedarcrest Golf Course … PRs (personal records), PRs, PRs! Stelling: My favorite course was the Twilight Invitational because I had my career PR there of 19:13. Also the fun run in
the dark was a ton of fun. We dressed up in crazy clothes and pinned glow sticks all over us. Hardaway: I’ve always liked the Twilight course. I’ve always had my best runs there. Klamm: My favorite course this year was the first course we ran of the season at Lakewood. It was only a 3K (3,000 meters) race, but I felt strong, had no injuries and knew the course well. Hood: I like all the big invite races mostly because of all the view points for other races and exciting obstacles like mud pits at Seaside and, of course, the Wall at Hole-in-the-Wall at Lakewood. The terraces at Sunfair in Yakima are a big attraction. Over all, my best times have been at the Cedarcrest Golf Course in Marysville where the Twilight Invite was this year. Who was your preferred running partner? Felt: My first three years of cross country, it was Jessica Cary, and I was so sad to see her leave last year. But this year the cutest little freshman, Mallorie Mitchem,
was my pace and we really got along on and off the trails. Stelling: My preferred running partner would have to be Bonnie. She works so hard and we’ve run many workouts together. Hardaway: I didn’t really have a running partner, I was usually by myself when it came to the team. I was kind of in a … gap. Klamm: I really enjoy running with Lillianna Stelling. She’s a hard worker, and a good leader. I have enjoyed running with her this summer, and have tried to keep up with her during the season. She’s as much a running partner as a runner I admire. Hood: Emma Lungren, always! She’s one place in front of me on our team and we’d always be close to each other at the beginning of the races. I would talk to her, more like grunt at her, to keep going or kick it up a notch. She helped me a lot because I always tried to keep her in my sight and she was the craziest little kid to train with! Finish this sentence: When I run, I think about … Felt: food and floating on a cloud. Stelling: food … most of the time. During races I think about food mainly because I don’t eat for four hours before so I don’t get a side ache. Other times I think about something easy like fishing; sometimes I pretend I’m fishing on a cloud and am as light as a feather. Hardaway: nature. Definitely nature. The whole time I’m like, “Oh that’s pretty, look at that!” Klamm: goals while I’m running. During the offseason I’m training for half marathons or fun 5Ks. During cross-country or track, it’s about pushing myself and trying to do the best I can. But if I’m just out for a fun run, my mind is only filled with happy thoughts. Hood: being a machine. Machines don’t feel pain so that helped me stay efficient and focused during a race. During practice it was usually whatever happened to pop into my head.

Female eagles’ death grip broken BY JIM LARSEN Record editor Freeland veterinarian Dr. Dave Parent has no illusions that our national symbol is a proud, peace loving bird. Sometimes they can be downright nasty. Monday evening he was called to a home of Daneice Webster on Central Whidbey where two female eagles had apparently fallen from the sky in a death grip. Each sank
talons into the other, and neither was about to let go. “I got a call and got there after dark,” Parent said Thursday. “When I got there, they had their talons sunk into each other. It’s usually a territorial battle, but eagles are just evil. They want to kill one another.” Parent described the birds as “very large females who got locked together. “They just won’t let go, they’re waiting for the other to die,” he
said. After covering the heads of the two birds, Parent went to work separating them. One bird had talons in the other’s drumstick and thigh, while the other had a grip on its enemy’s tail feathers. “I very, very carefully extracted the talons,” he said. The birds remained quiet during the procedure conducted over the course of about 15 minutes by Parent with the help of an employee.
Two paths to business success.
When set free, both flew for a distance and then landed. The next morning, the property owner told Parent both birds had flown away. Eagles are known to heal very quickly from their injuries, the veterinarian said. Parent has helped in a number of such eagle incidents over the years. “They fight all year but this one was particularly bad,” he said. “I think they’d have stayed until one of them died.” Parent posted a photo of himself and one of the angry birds on his Useless Bay Animal Clinic Facebook page. “It’s just amazing, it went viral,” he said. Very quickly there were “500 likes” from people around the world, and the total is still climbing.
Dr. Dave Parent gets the evil eye from one of the female eagles he separated from a death grip Monday night. The birds injured each other but were able to fly away.

Ferry dubbed Tokitae, known as ‘Lolita’ in aquarium BY RECORD STAFF The Washington Transportation Commission decided Tuesday to name the two new state ferries now under construction the Tokitae (Toe-key-tay) and the Samish. The names keep the tradition of giving ferries regional tribal names. Tokitae was submitted by the Whidbey Island based nonprofit Orca Network, and Samish was submitted by the Samish Tribe. Deb Lund, Whidbey Island author of children’s books, first suggested Orca Network submit the name Tokitae for one of the new Washington State Ferries in 2010. The name was not chosen, but was popular and ranked in the top five of all names submitted, so Orca Network again proposed the name in 2012. The name symbolizes both the cultural and natural history of Washington, and meets all of the criteria for a WSF name. In the announcement Tuesday from the State Transportation Commission, it was stated the name “Tokitae” came in as the number one choice of all the people, committees and state ferry staff surveyed. Orca Network gathered over 1,500 signatures on a petition to name the ferry Tokitae, including support from people in 44 states and 33 countries; and signatures both from those who want to
Record file
Tokitae, known as Lolita in a Miami aquarium, is the namesake of a new Washington State ferry. see Tokitae/Lolita released from the Miami Seaquarium, and the whale trainers who know and work with her at the Miami Seaquarim. The cultural meaning of Tokitae derives from a Coastal Salish or Chinook jargon greeting, meaning “nice day, pretty colors,” used when members of different tribes that have dwelled along the shores of the Salish
Sea rivers for millennia met one another while traveling or trading. This meaning also aptly describes the experience one has while riding a Washington State ferry in the beautiful Salish Sea. In 1970 Dr. Jesse White, a veterinarian employed by the Miami Seaquarium, came to Seattle to select a whale from among seven that had been captured off Whidbey Island
in August. According to his daughter Lisa, he bonded with one young female and decided to name her Tokitae, a word he had seen in a gift shop on the Seattle waterfront. Howard Garrett of Orca Network said, in a news release that “the name Tokitae represents and honors this orca (renamed Lolita after she arrived in Miami) and her family, the Southern Resident orcas that range throughout the Salish Sea and beyond. Some of this extended family of about 84 orcas are seen almost every month of every year, often from the ferries that ply the waters of the Salish Sea.” The orca captures of the 1960s and 1970s were a sad chapter in Washington’s history, Garrett said, and contributed greatly to the current endangered status of the Southern Resident orcas. Only 71 orcas remained after 45 were removed and
transported to marine parks around the world, and the population has never recovered to pre-capture numbers. Naming the ferry “Tokitae” after Tokitae/Lolita will honor her, and the 44 other orcas captured from the Southern Resident Community. She is the only survivor of all the whales captured from her extended family. All the other orcas died by 1987. “The honor of naming the next new ferry ‘Tokitae’ is a tribute to her strength and spirit, and an inspiration to all of us to remember her and
her family in the Salish sea,” Garrett said. “Orca Network and others continue to work to bring Lolita/Tokitae back home to Washington waters and her family, but in the mean time, naming the next new ferry ‘Tokitae’ will help keep her and others lost in the captures in our thoughts,” Garrett said. “And maybe someday Tokitae the whale will have a chance to swim in the Salish Sea, alongside the ferry bearing her name.”
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.” ~John F. Kennedy 1917-1963

Exploring for birds at our beach parks WHIDBEY BIRDING Frances Wood November has arrived and so have the hundreds of ducks, geese and seabirds that winter in the waters around our island. For this, the next installment of my exploration of places to bird on South Whidbey, we move out of the forest and onto the beach. Open vistas allow better views of the birds and the species are larger and less flighty than woodland birds. Those “sitting ducks” may be vulnerable to predators, but they also grant us
birders good, long looks. Last week, the Thursday morning South Whidbey birding group visited two of my favorite nearby beaches, Dave Mackie County Park off Maxwelton Road and Possession Point State Park, way at the southern tip of the island. Later I stopped by the Clinton ferry dock. Dave Mackie Park is better known for summertime parades, picnics and ball games. On this cool, cloudy November day, we birdwatchers were the only people there. As we stepped from our cars, a belted kingfisher flew over our heads and protested with a loud rattling call. Three species of gulls snoozed on a sand bar as we set up our bird-watching scopes at the boat launch. The glaucous-winged and ring-billed gulls were no surprise, but seeing a flock of a dozen Heermann’s gulls caused us to stop and wonder. “Aren’t those Heermann’s supposed to be back in California by now?” someone asked.
FREDDY
Freddy is also described as being a silly, talkative, affectionate, and easygoing lapcat. This good looking boy is 3 years old. Freddy is waiting at the Oak Harbor Shelter.
BOSS
Boss is a big gorgeous Siamese with the snowshoe color pattern. Outgoing and friendly with people, shelter staff believe he will be a lapcat. They also describe him as being not as talkative as most Siamese. Boss is at the Oak Harbor Shelter. Meet these and other pets now ready for good homes at the WAIF Animal Shelter, on Highway 20 south of Coupeville, or the Oak Harbor Animal Shelter (Naval Air Station) 360.279.0829 and the Cat Adoption Centers in Freeland and Cat Adoption Center in the Thrift Store on Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor.

I admired the distinctive dark grey plumage and red bills and asked myself the same question. “Guess they haven’t read the field guide,” another birder retorted. A black-bellied plover scooted along the shore near the gulls. We scanned south with our scopes and counted seven double-crested cormorants poised atop seven pilings. Beyond them, buffleheads, horned and rednecked grebes and a single common loon bobbed in the waters of Puget Sound. After leaving the park, a 10-minute drive took us south on Possession Point Road nearly to the end of the road and to Possession Point State Park. For a small park, this hosts a variety of habitat and boasts a surprising number of unusual species. I enjoy this park any time of year. As we ambled from the parking lot toward the beach, a resident Anna’s
hummingbird zipped by and a varied thrush dove into a thick evergreen tree. A tight flock of about 50 tiny pine siskins bounced through the air, finally alighting on a tall dead tree. American robins searched for the last of the season’s blackberries. At the beach a flock of 25 red-breasted mergansers flew by low and close to the shore. We watched them wing east before settling on the water. At this time of year, the males, females, young and adults all look pretty much the same as they swim and forage in shallow water along the shore. A bald eagle perched on a piling ripping apart and consuming its lunch, which may have accounted for the lack of other small ducks and seabirds. My last stop was the Clinton ferry dock. I parked at the small park north of the dock and scanned the bay. When I spotted my first common goldeneye

backs with a white chinstrap. This flock of perhaps 60 to 80 Brant forages for aquatic plants, particularly eelgrass. Because of their selective diet and pressure on their Arctic breeding grounds, the Brant are considered a species of concern. Hopefully someone will let me know when they arrive. In roughly three hours I visited three beach parks, tallied 35 species and didn’t feel a drop of rain. Birding always brings me closer to the amazing rhythms of the natural world. And I’m reminded once again why I love our Whidbey Island beaches. Frances Wood can be reached at wood@whidbey. com.

of the season, it felt like an old friend had just returned from a long trip. The large flock of mainly surf scoters hovered near the end of the dock; another winter-only birding pleasure. You’ve likely seen that seabird flock from the ferry. They dive under the water to forage for the vegetation clinging to the dock’s supportive pilings. Various gulls capped the dolphins, those metal pilings that guide the ferries into the docks. I crossed the loading dock to peer south catching sight of a pigeon guillemot in winter plumage and more cormorants. I’d hoped to see the Brant geese that winter around South Whidbey. Brant geese are darker and one-third the weight of their Canada geese cousins. They have dark heads, throats and

Family on fire
Michaela Marx Wheatley / The Record
Among the Simmons clan serving South Whidbey Fire/EMS are, from left, Kevin, Kenon, Jeff and in front are Melissa with Domenic. They represent the second generation of South Whidbey fire district volunteers, and Domenic may be the third.
Fighting fires is often a family affair, especially for the Simmons clan BY MICHAELA MARX WHEATLEY Staff reporter
W
hile there is a sense of brotherhood among many firefighters, serving as volunteer first-responders is truly a family affair for one South Whidbey family. “Between all of us there are more than 200 years of community service,” said South Whidbey Fire/EMS Commissioner Kenon Simmons about his family. Simmons’ dad, Carl Simmons, was with the department as a volunteer for 50 years. Carl passed away in 2011 and there is now an award given to a department member each year in his honor. Carl and his generation set the standard for family involvement back in the day. Carl’s brother Roy and his cousin Gordon volunteered with the fire district along with Carl. Carl had joined the department in 1954 (the South Whidbey fire district was founded in 1950). He was the longest serving volunteer
in department history, inching out Gordon who retired after 47 years. Kenon Simmons is hoping to get up there with his father’s generation. “For me it’s about the community service,” said Simmons, who followed in Carl’s footsteps in 1981. “It’s a small community. My wife asked if I would do it in another, bigger community. I probably wouldn’t.” Kenon’s cousin Kevin Simmons got the ball rolling for the latest generation of volunteers when he joined the department in 1997. He now serves as an EMT and firefighter and he inspired those around him. “I saw how much fun he was having. So I jumped in,” said Jeff Simmons, who joined in 1998 as a firefighter. “And I joined because they did it,” added EMT Melissa Simmons, who signed up with the department in 2000. There was certainly awareness within the family for this form of community service, but it’s the job itself and the camaraderie that has
kept them engaged over the years. older Simmons generation. The work is rewarding and chal“The Clinton station was unoflenging, Melissa said. ficially the Simmons station for “I enjoy doing it,” she said. awhile,” Jeff said. “People say thanks and it makes it “Yes, I think there were five all worth it.” or six of us at the station at some Her brothers quickly point out point,” Kenon added, as they that Melissa held shared a laugh. a record for most While the responses as an Simmons fam“We are very much a EMT for some ily assembles family.

Proud of family bonds
said all volunteers within the department have a unique bond. “We may share the same last name, but the entire department is a family,” he said. Fire Chief Rusty Palmer couldn’t agree more. “We are very much a family,” Palmer said. “There are times when our lives depend upon each other. It doesn’t get much closer than that.” Palmer not only considers the active duty volunteers part of this family, but all those who support them. “Our family includes all of those members’ families who support them being in the department,” he said. Without the support of the wives, husbands and children, who allow their loved ones to run out to a fire or accident in the middle of the night, the volunteers would not show up. “Like every family, there are times when we disagree or don’t communicate, but when it really matters folks step up,” Palmer said.

Religion notes ‘Friends’ meet in Freeland Whidbey Island Quakers are newly renamed as “Whidbey Island Friends Meeting,” showing their closer ties to regional and national Quaker groups. They hold a regular meeting for worship from 4 to 5 p.m. every Sunday at the Unitarian Universalist building, located at 20103 Highway 525 about two miles north of Freeland. This time of silent worship together may include spoken messages or sharing of spiritual journeys. On the first Sunday of each month, an additional time of singing at 3:30 p.m. precedes the worship service. As the 17th Century founder of Quakers, George Fox, wrote in his journal: “Walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in everyone.” For more information, visit www.whidbey quakers.org or email Toni Grove at tgrove@whidbey. com.

A cat or a dog: that is the question Adopting or buying a dog or a cat is a long-term commitment. By carefully considering your decision, you can be sure you’re making the right choice. A pet will bring treasured family moments to your household, ones that will be remembered for a long time. First of all, analyze your reasons for wanting to add a fourfooted friend to the household. If it’s to encourage the children to be more responsible, you should probably wait for another time. Usually it’s the adult who ends up taking care of the pet. Neither should you adopt an animal on a whim, because you felt sorry for it or be-
cause you don’t have any other gift ideas. Next, ask yourself if your family is more ready for a cat or a dog. This depends on taste, of course, but also on the amount of free time available to look after your pet: a puppy requires a great deal more attention and discipline than a kitten. Once you’ve got that figured out, then a suitable breed and characteristics must be chosen. Would you prefer an active or a quiet animal? In the case of a puppy, you should also ask yourself if you would like a dog that will stay small when fully grown or whether you’re able to handle a big one. Whether you choose a dog or a cat, you must feel ready to give it all the care it needs and all the love a family member has a right to expect. Raised in these conditions, your pet will give you all the affection and faithfulness you could possibly want.
For a cat as much as a dog, a pet owner must feel ready to give the animal all the care it will need.

1. Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life. Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast cancer, which is fatal in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. 2. Neutering provides major health benefits for your male. Besides preventing unwanted litters, neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer, if done before six months of age. 3. Your spayed female won’t go into heat. Cycles vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. In an effort to advertise for mates, they’ll yowl and urinate more frequentlysometimes all over the house! 4. Your male dog won’t want to roam away from home. An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate! That includes digging his way under the fence and making like Houdini to escape from the house. And once he’s free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other males. 5. Your neutered male will be much better behaved. Neutered pets focus their attention on their human families. Unneutered pets may mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over. Aggression can also be avoided.
6. Spaying or neutering will NOT make your pet fat. Lack of exercise and overfeeding will cause your pet to pack on the extra pounds-not neutering. Your pet will remain fit and trim as long as you continue to provide exercise and monitor food intake. 7. It is highly cost-effective. The cost of your pet’s spay/neuter surgery is a lot less than the cost of having and caring for a litter. It also beats the cost of treatment when your unneutered tom gets into fights. 8. Spaying and neutering your pet is good for the community. Stray animals can prey on wildlife, cause car accidents, damage the local fauna and frighten children. Spaying and neutering also reduces the number of animals on the streets. 9. Your pet doesn’t need to have a litter for your children to learn about the miracle of birth. Letting your pet produce offspring you have no intention of keeping is not a good lessonmost unwanted animals end up in shelters. Use books and videos to teach your children about birth in a more responsible way. 10. Spaying and neutering helps fight pet overpopulation. Every year, millions of cats and dogs of all ages and breeds are euthanized or suffer as strays. These high numbers are the result of unplanned litters that could have been prevented by spaying or neutering.

Langley man faces potpourri of charges Skagit Valley College BY JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter A 42-year-old Langley man is facing a series of criminal charges for allegedly violating a no-contact order repeatedly and then getting into a hit-and-run accident, court documents show. Christopher McBride pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court on Nov. 13 to five counts of violation of a court order, felony telephone harassment, hit and run
and driving while license suspended or revoked. If convicted of the charges, he could face up to a year in jail under the standard sentencing range. The alleged victim, a Clinton resident, reported to deputies that McBride, her estranged boyfriend, had violated a domestic violence protection order by repeatedly calling her cell phone, her father’s home, her brother’s cell phone and her mother’s cell phone, according to the report written by Lt. Evan Tingstad with the
Island County Sheriff’s Office. Tingstad listened to 10 messages that McBride allegedly left on the father’s phone. He sounded like he was “significantly intoxicated” and threatened to kill the man, Tingstad wrote. As Tingstad was investigating, the victim and witnesses pointed out the window, indicating that McBride was driving by. After Tingstad left to find the vehicle, he received a report of a hit-and-run accident nearby.
5
The driver of the car said McBride rear-ended him on Cultus Bay Road and then followed him home, trying to persuade him not to report it to the police, the report states. McBride then left. Tingstad found the license plate to McBride’s vehicle at the scene of the accident, according to court records. After he was arrested, McBride started screaming obscenities at the deputies and threatened to kill one of them, Tingstad wrote.

2013 OAK HARBOR COMREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS CALL FOR APPLICATIONS The City of Oak Harbor is initiating its annual Comprehensive Amendment Process. The amendment process begins with a call for applications from the public requesting changes to the Plan. The requests are then compiled into a docket that is reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. The City Council approves a final docket in March 2013. R e q u e s t fo r c h a n g e s can be made to any aspect of the Comprehensive Plan. However, the application requirements differ for private amendments and public amendments. An example of a private amendment is a request to change a land use designation for a property a n d a n ex a m p l e o f a public amendment would be a request to change the density requirements for a par ticular zoning district. For more information on public amendments please contact city staff. Information regarding this can also be found in the Oak Harbor Municipal Code Chapter 18.15.060. Applications are now bei n g a c c e p t e d fo r t h e 2 0 1 3 C o m p r e h e n s i ve Plan Amendments. The application for private amendments (land use changes) is currently available at the City Hall and on the City’s website. Land owners can request changes to their property’s land use designation as part of the amendment process. The deadline for applications is December 3, 2012 5pm. The process to consider amendments to the Comprehensive Plan is a year long process. All applications received will be placed on a docket with other mandator y and discretionary items. The docket will then be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Council through a public hearing process before approval. The process is designed to provide opportunities for public par ticipation at var ious stages of the process. Please contact Cac Kamak, Senior Planner, at (360) 279-4514 if you have questions.

New pharmacy technology improves drug safety at WGH
Elisabeth Murray / the Record
Whidbey General Hospital pharmacy technician Cherie Post dispenses medication from a new automated machine from Omnicell. Post is the “administrative user” and attended training sessions before teaching other hospital staff how to use this new technology.

hospital’s chief nursing officer. Younger nurses who are part of the “technology” generation also adapted quickly to the new devices, Post said Post said she is enthusiastic about this new technology, especially once Meditech comes online, which is the “other piece of the puzzle.” The Bedside Medication Verification system to be implemented with Meditech assures that medications are delivered correctly each and every time they are prescribed. Meditech and the verification system should be online next spring. At the bedside point of medication administration, the nurse will be able to scan the barcode on the patient’s wristband and on the medication to make certain the medication is the correct drug, in the right dose for the right patient, in the right amount and using the right route, Gipson said. “From the physician’s order to the pharmacy to the Omnicell dispensing system and finally to the administration of the medication at the patient’s bedside every process is designed to assure patient safety and confidence,” Gipson said. High alert medications, like blood thinning Coumadin, do not have a spot in Omnicell. Medications that could put patient safety at risk if inappropriately given continue to be dispensed by a pharmacist. In addition to improving patient safety, the automated system assures that patients are correctly billed for the exact dose of medication that they receive at the time it is dispensed.

a way to access the medications contained within the clear rectangular cabinet and she will not have to re-enter her password. Post is a certified pharmacy technician at Whidbey General Hospital in Coupeville. This new system lets Post dispense the medications her patients need quickly and accurately. “We are always concerned with preventing errors in medication administration,” said Trish Rose, spokesperson for Whidbey General. The Whidbey General Hospital Foundation secured a $150,000 grant from the Murdock Foundation to help cover part of the $315,000 cost. The hospital purchased six devices for use in different areas of the hospital. Each device is filled with medications specific to that department’s needs. Nurses who transferred to Whidbey General from other facilities had a leg up in learning how to use this technology, said Post, who trained her co-workers to use Omnicell. Many were already familiar with a competitor, Pyxis MedStation, which operates in a similar fashion, she said. For nurses who began their career at the local hospital and had never been exposed to automated medication dispensing, the learning curve was much steeper. “It was quite the learning experience,” Post said. “There are always growing pains with something new, but we are working through them.” The hospital continues to make improvements based on feedback from staff to make the dispensing cabinets the most useful tool possible, said Linda Gipson, the
