Sleeping captain adds to ferries’ late start woes BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter FREELAND — Ferry riders from Whidbey Island are furious over cancelled sailings, the most recent caused by a sleeping captain. Wednesday morning at 4:30 a.m. the first boat out of Clinton, the Cathlamet, turned around more than halfway to Mukilteo, reported two South Whidbey residents who were on the boat, Bill Couch and Pamela Sipe. The captain announced the reason as a “staffing issue,” a problem that has become common and widely reported. However, this one was
different. Couch said he heard from a ferry worker that the captain of the Kittitas was asleep on the Cathlamet and as soon as that was discovered, the boat had to turn around. That account was confirmed by Marta Coursey, Washington State Ferries spokesperson, later Wednesday morning. “The captain of the Kittitas was overnighting on the Cathlamet,” Coursey said later Wednesday morning. “He overslept, and the See ferries, A11

Pete Seybert, right, and Paul Nettleton, Island County Public Works Department employees, reposition what is called a “wattle” that contains materials and protects the dike. They were working on shoring up the Shoreview Drive dike when the rain stopped Tuesday afternoon.
The MTU was started by the late Tommy Arhontas, who with a few helpers the first year delivered a small number of turkey dinners cooked in the school district’s bus barn kitchen. Although Arhontas has been gone for four years, his community vision lives on.
“I go back 12 years,” said MTU’s new president, Art Taylor, as he used a potato masher and a lot of muscle and sweat to turn 400 pounds of boiled spuds into mashed potatoes See turkey, A9
Have your say on ferries A Washington State Ferry community meeting is set for 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29 at Trinity Lutheran Church, 18341 Highway 525, Freeland. “The community meetings are a great opportunity for us to hear from our ferry-served communities,” said David Moseley, assistant secretary for the state Department of Transportation, Ferries Division, in a news release. “I will discuss the future of the ferry system as we head into the 2013 legislative session.” During the meetings, Moseley will discuss system-wide and route-specific issues. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback to Moseley and his team. Materials and comment forms are posted on WSF’s community meetings page.
County shores up Shoreview Drive BY JIM LARSEN Record editor It looked like they were battling a giant python, but in fact Pete Seybert and Paul Nettleton were only grappling with a wattle. One definition of a wattle has to do with a turkey’s neck, which seemed appropriate for the season. But in this case the wattle is a long, straw-stuffed creation 8 inches around and 25 feet in length that is meant to
protect a working site. With a dike roughly 800 feet in length, there were a lot of wattles to readjust. “It did its job quite well,” Seybert said. The wattle protected the dike from erosion while capturing sea flotsam to strengthen it further. At the time early Tuesday afternoon, the skies were blue but Seybert knew that was a trick of nature. “It’s a sucker hole,” he said of the sun, explaining it was shining just long enough to draw
workers outside before the rain hit again. South Whidbey was drenched by approximately 2 inches of rain late Sunday and Monday, according to the National Weather Service. The downpour finally let up but light showers were common Tuesday. Shoreview Drive in front of Nichols Brothers Boat Builders has long been a sore See dike, A20

The Dec. 11 regular meeting at which the Monma offer will be discussed will be held at the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District office at 5475 Maxwelton Road.

FIRE / EMS Chief turns to election analyst In the wake of receiving a 15-cent levy lift, South Whidbey Fire/EMS will turn its attention to the disapprovers. Fire Chief Rusty Palmer plans to target areas that voted against the levy lift. He will review precinct information from the
general election results with an eye toward precincts with heavier “no” voting percentages. That information will help the fire and emergency response district focus its “public education” in the coming year. South Whidbey Fire/ EMS hired a public relations consultant ahead of the levy vote for $44,000. The district began updating residents from Freeland to Clinton about the district with mailers and a social media presence on sites like Facebook and Twitter.
District adds three members Three volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians were recently added to the South Whidbey Fire/EMS ranks. Kenon Simmons, chairman of the fire State Farm
commissioners, welcomed Kyla Graeser, Will Suarez and Robert Armstrong to the fire protection and emergency response district.
SCHOOLS Superintendent to talk about levy
Budget takes hit with property dip
South Whidbey’s schools leader will update the public on a proposed February levy vote Wednesday. Jo Moccia, superintendent of the South Whidbey School District, is scheduled to address the school board at its public meeting Nov. 28. The school district is considering asking voters for a $1.04 per $1,000 of assessed property value levy for maintenance and operations and a 53-cent per $1,000 of assessed valuation capital levy.
Voters approved a 15-cent levy increase for South Whidbey Fire/EMS. They likely won’t approve of the 3.01 percent decrease in Island County property values. Fire Chief Rusty Palmer prepared two budgets, with and without the levy increase, for the commissioners to review. With the updated property value information, Palmer will adjust the revenue calculations. The fire district’s budget figures to Why w a i t to s ave m on e y ?

In our opinion
Spend Christmas shopping locally What community newspapers have been preaching for years seems to have caught on. There is now a “Small Business Saturday,” which takes place nationwide today, Nov. 24. This follows “Black Friday,” which is allegedly the biggest big city shopping day of the year. Now that many chain stores are opening Thanksgiving, maybe we should call that one “Stuffing yourself Thursday.” In communities such as South Whidbey, it’s small business every day of the week and during the holiday season particularly. Perhaps a visit to Toys ‘R Us is unavoidable to purchase something special for tykes brainwashed by TV ads, but for the rest of us, it’s all available right here on South Whidbey Island. It goes without saying that Langley is our shopping mecca, with two entire streets lined with interesting shops and things to see, eat and drink. Business doors are decorated for the holidays, the tree lighting ceremony tonight and other gala events are scheduled through the season, including the parade Saturday, Dec. 1 at 11 a.m. Just don’t confine your holiday shopping to Langley. Freeland is teeming with businesses offering the practical — hardware and food gifts —- to specialty antique and crafts stores, and even a place to decorate your own plate or pot for someone special. When driving through Clinton, the secret is to just slow down and see what they have, from a beautiful doll shop to a place where you can sip coffee while perusing the book shelves. Also keep an eye on the newspaper’s calendar listings and ads for special sales at Bayview featuring arts and crafts, as well as a terrific plant nursery, bicycle shop and other small businesses. The Greenbank Farm bustles all holiday season with arts, crafts and specialty foods for sale. The list of South Whidbey’s unique small businesses is endless. Look at the brochures at the ferry dock, do some Googling and dig out the Holiday Gift Guide included in the Nov. 21 South Whidbey Record. For unique gifts that please everyone there are few better places to live. Save gas, ferry money, frustration, and keep your tax dollars working locally. Shop South Whidbey and have a very merry Christmas indeed.

Letters In response
Port sale is impractical To the editor: The following views are mine alone as an individual Port of South Whidbey Commissioner, and do not represent the Port of South Whidbey: At the PSW meeting last week, Clyde and Marcia Monma presented the port with an offer to purchase two uplands parcels encompassing the Dorothy Cleveland Trail adjacent to the Possession Beach Park. The upper parcel they have offered to purchase was surplussed by the port, but the lower parcel is considered critical to the beach park operations and so was not surplussed. In other words, 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. I would also like to reiterate that it is false to frame the question as cell tower or Dorothy Cleveland Trail. The proposed cell tower would have minimal impact on the trail or the uplands around it. The port has every intention
STAFF
of maintaining the trail, the uplands and public access to them before, during and after cell tower construction. What is at stake here is whether the port should continue to simply own and maintain an uplands park (for which it has no mandate in state law), or should instead retain the property in public hands, generate much-needed revenue, and provide improvements in rural telecommunication and emergency communications (which is a port mandate under state law), all while maintaining the park and trail for the public to enjoy. Chris Jerome Clinton
Port should show names To the editor: An email from Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Chris Jerome claims that “many constituents and the emergency services have told us the proposed tower will benefit the community.” I have submitted to the port a petition with over 500 names of individuals who have expressed their opposition to the port’s decision to lease a section of the Dorothy Cleveland Trail parklands to allow AT&T to construct a cell tower. These names were collected via an online petition website (www. sos-sw.monma.com), from Friends of the

Dorothy Cleveland Trail, neighbors and other users of the trail. Every effort was made to correctly identify which town each person resides. I formally request that Commissioner Jerome provide a list of specific names of the “many constituents” who support his position. In particular, I request that he provide a printed copy of all of the emails he has received for or against the port’s decision to lease the property, as well as support for or against our offer to purchase the entire DCT park. This public information should shed considerable light on the relative levels of public opinion regarding his actions. I am certain that his statement will prove to be unsupported by the facts. Absent significant evidence to the contrary, I respectfully request that Commissioner Jerome cease making statements that are questionable and misleading. I request that he provide this information prior to the port meeting on Dec. 4, where the commissioners will be discussing our proposal to purchase the DCT parklands. Clyde Monma Clinton

Basketball, wrestling programs grow Hoops games start earlier this season
BY BEN WATANABE Staff reporter LANGLEY — Winter sports at South Whidbey High School bolstered their ranks this year. Though the school shrank in enrollment, six more students will suit up for the Falcon girls basketball, boys basketball and wrestling teams this season. “I’m thinking it’s a lot,” said Scott Mauk, who is in his second year as the Falcon athletic director. “It takes years of coaching to build a program. I have great head coaches and fabulous assistants.” Boys basketball will roll with three teams — varsity, junior varsity and C-Team — after making extensive cuts. Wrestling, which has long grappled with being a small school and missing some of the light weights, looks ready to field the 113pound and 120-pound division with a large group of freshmen and sophomores (wrestlers who haven’t gone through coach Jim Thompson’s weight training regimen). South Whidbey was projected to lose about 60 students from last year’s enrollment. Still, comparative figures from October 2011 to this year show an increase of 10 students from ninth to 12th grade, excluding South Whidbey Academy students. Male students moved between wrestling and basketball, and Mauk reported some athletes turned out for

Winter sports at South Whidbey High School are heating up, and not just because of a new heating unit. More Falcons joined basketball and wrestling this season. Wrestling saw a two-athlete winter sports for the first time increase, which Mauk said or after sitting out last year. “Kids talk and they will may grow to 30 grapplers total. vote with G i r l s their feet,” “Kids talk and they will basketball Mauk said. “Sports are vote with their feet … increased by one Falcon not mandaThey won’t show up if this year. tory.

Given Falcon coaches the season — and the players can only play five at a time, — progressed. The girls team finished 8-12 minutes may be hard to come overall and was eliminated by across each team.
from the district tournament in the first round. Falcon wrestling missed out on the state 2A tournament for the second time in the past three years after a long stretch of sending at least one grappler to the Tacoma Dome. South Whidbey’s boys basketball team finished 7-13 overall, including only four Cascade Conference wins and missing qualification for playoffs. “Kids are wanting to play because they’re being led by good people,” Mauk said. “It’s not a win-loss thing. “The teams were competitive, but the kids are going to the program because they want to have fun.”
Tip-off for Falcon home basketball games will be a little earlier this season. South Whidbey athletic director Scott Mauk said agreements were reached with the referees association and Cascade Conference schools to start varsity home games at 6:45 p.m., about 15 minutes earlier. Six of the other seven schools in South Whidbey’s conference have to travel by ferry, and the winter schedule eliminates 9 p.m. sailings from Clinton to Mukilteo. In years past, schools and athletic officials have missed the 8:30 p.m. sailing and are forced to wait another hour. “They were missing that one boat by a few minutes,” Mauk said. “Now they can comfortably make that boat and not have to wait that Taylor Simmons extra hour. “We appreciate that they come here and we’ll do anything we can to keep them coming.” It will also benefit South Whidbey’s students. Finishing Tuesday night games earlier will mean an earlier bed time. “Or they can do homework,” Mauk said. Though the new start time is finalized for this season, it may not be permanent next year. Mauk acknowledged that parents working over town may struggle with the new tip-off time. “If this becomes something where there’s lots of feedback on South Whidbey, we’d look at it,” he said. The main concern was to continue to host and have competition. Friday Harbor High School struggles with its athletic scheduling as a conference independent. South Whidbey, however, was approached by an international competitor. The Falcon basketball teams will face a club of 20 students traveling with 11 adult chaperones from Penrith, Australia this season. “We’re really stoked,” Mauk said.

turkey CONTINUED FROM A1
Wednesday night at St. Hubert Catholic Church in Langley. Head cook Al Jones had already cooked 17 turkeys, deboned them and taken them to the Langley United Methodist Church to be refrigerated over night. “We’ve got lots of help,” Taylor said. St. Augustine’s and Trinity Lutheran were also involved, as well as many others who just wanted to help. Sixty or more volunteers helped organize and deliver the meals Thursday. “There’s a lot of people helping make Tommy’s dream come true,” he added. The Mobile Turkey Unit has extended its reach considerably over the years. One special delivery meal was made to a Navy pilot shipping out to Afghanistan in the next few days. His wife in Southern California had called the Mobile Turkey Unit last week. She said it was the first Thanksgiving that he hadn’t been home with her and their two young kids, so the MTU made the special delivery. Another driver called Taylor at St. Hubert’s to say

a blessing on the effort. Then the food assembly line began. They completed assembling the meals by 9:30 a.m., when the first drivers arrived. Final cleanup was completed by noon, though most volunteers were gone to start their own Thanksgiving meals by 11 a.m.
“This was the first time the event was held at St. Hubert’s and it went very smoothly. We are all looking forward to next year and would welcome a few more people on the organizing committee,” said one of the organizers, Laura Canby.
Th ank You
Dear Friends, With all the fervor of the general election behind us, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the hard-working and dedicated individuals who made it all happen. Campaigns offer a unique opportunity to share views on how our government should be operated. Everyone wants the very best for our district, state and nation. I want to thank Mary Margaret Haugen for her service over the past 30 years and wish her the very best for the future. I especially want to thank the hundreds of volunteers who helped make my campaign a success. Your dedication and hard work meant everything to me, and I am forever grateful. As we move forward, everyone needs to know that my door is always open. I look forward to working for you and with you on issues that affect our district and state. You have given me a great honor to serve as your State Senator. I am optimistic about our future. Working together and across party lines we can accomplish more than we can imagine. Sincerely,

Paige Sherman, an employee at Flowers by the Bay in Freeland, created a Christmas wreath decorated with white owl chicks for Festival of Trees. She said owner Tracy Schultz supports the benefit for Festival of Trees and the fact it “draws attention to the stores.” A number of South Whidbey banks and stores are participating with wreaths and trees.
Festive trees decorate Whidbey in Island-wide effort for a good cause New this year, trees, wreaths for auction on South Whidbey BY REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter Uniquely decorated trees and wreaths may be in the forefront of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County’s 14th annual Festival of Trees gala and auction, but what really shines are the lifechanging relationships the event funds. The island-wide Festival of Trees culminates at 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge. Tickets cost $85.

Cathlamet didn’t realize it.” Ferry workers often sleep overnight in bunks on the ferries when their schedule demands it. When the sleeping captain was noticed, the Cathlamet had to immediately turn around to put the captain back on the Kittitas to keep it on schedule as much as possible, Coursey explained. “We were running about 20 minutes late,” she said. “You can’t make this stuff up,” said Couch, who has been riding the ferries for 40 years. “What a waste of fuel and time,” Sipe said in an email after Wednesday’s early morning problem.
Advisors hear complaints Earlier this month, a handful of early morning sailings were scrapped when a ferry crew member missed work. On Monday, Nov. 19, the 5:10 and 5:35 a.m. sailings were cancelled because of a “crewing issue,” according to an alert by Washington State Ferries. With Clinton-to-Mukilteo ferries often filled with cars and walk-on passengers in the weekday morning runs, the cancellations caused quite a delay at the start of Thanksgiving week, leaving Whidbey Island residents with lots of gripe and little thanks toward the ferry system. Crewing-related cancellations have also occurred on the Coupeville-to-Port Townsend route. Cancellations in November and October were a hot topic at a recent ferry advisory committee meeting in Freeland. Committee members Dave Hoogerwerf and Dean Enell, who represent the Clinton committee, heard five commuters’ wishes and frustrations.
www.Southwhidbeyrecord.com
“I ride the ferry every day,” said Clinton resident Catherine Billera. “It really irritates me when people are making decisions for people who take the ferry every day and they’re not taking the ferry every day.” Billera walks on the Clinton ferry, then catches the Sounder light rail train to Seattle for work. Her husband Tony Billera occasionally crosses Puget Sound, but he rides his motorcycle and has avoided some of the problems faced by drivers when the holding lot fills and a car line snakes from the ferry terminal up Highway 525 toward Dairy Queen. One of the proposed solutions to long car lines — and it’s not exactly novel — is an overnight parking lot in Mukilteo. At ferry advisory meetings across the water, however, construction of a large lot near the Mukilteo ferry terminal has been rejected by citizens. However, Port of South Whidbey President
Curt Gordon is still pursuing a parking garage in Mukilteo, working with that city and other agencies. Deborah Trainor recently moved to Clinton and works over town. She tried utilizing an Island County Transit van pool. It didn’t last long because Trainor’s schedule delayed her fellow carpool riders — something she wasn’t comfortable with. Lines on the Mukilteo side delayed her return home by two hours, sometimes even three hours. “When I do have to drive in and drive back, it is horrible,” Trainor said. “It’s just terrible. I don’t know what can make it better.” Ahead of a Nov. 29 visit by David Moseley to Freeland, assistant transportation secretary of ferries, ferry commuters are geared to give him an earful. The cancellations — which Moseley has asserted are not union organized — are sure to dominate the conversation. Adequate parking and the proposed new

that commuters’ concerns will be well received by Moseley. History is on their side. Several years ago when Washington State Ferries began implementing a reservation system, Moseley visited Clinton and arrived to a packed house clearly opposed to starting reservations on the Clinton-to-Mukilteo run, as is already being done on the Coupeville-to-Port Townsend run. “And they listened,” Enell said. “There’s no reservation (system).” Record editor Jim Larsen contributed to this story.

spot with Island County Public Works. In the past, elaborate plans to significantly raise the height of the short, aging dike fell through, but now work is being done to finally hold back the sea water from Holmes Harbor. With an extreme high tide Monday morning, water was seeping through the dike across the road, flooding the wetland and open fields on the
other side, and covering the intersection with Woodard Avenue with about 2 feet of water. Most drivers saw the water and “Road Closed” sign and turned around, but others plowed through, not minding water halfway up the doors. Seybert said the dike was built in 1903 to separate the marsh from the sea, in the process creating enough dry land for Spencer’s Store, a landmark at the end of Holmes Harbor for many years. But in recent years
the dike has failed to protect Shoreview from flooding and resulting road closures. Work to upgrade the dike actually started last January to protect the intersection. Various types of rock were brought in to raise the level of the dike, and the wattles helped capture sea debris to further fortify the structure. “It’s basically a shoulder repair for the road,” Seybert said. The job was about half done before Monday’s storm hit and flooding reoccurred. Fay Rimer (Alexander)

and her brother Donald Alexander were walking their dogs around and through the water. They were raised in the old Peterson house just up the hill starting in 1956 and flooding is not new to their eyes, but Rimer said the deep water at the intersection and extra flooding in the fields alongside the marsh didn’t happen in the past. “It never flooded where it is now,” she said. Her little Yorkies, Gidget and Fidget, and brother Don’s Chihuahua, Zippy, had fun Jim Larsen / The Record
