Union files grievance over tree cutting

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The secrecy behind the City of Oak Harbor’s decision to cut down the landmark Garry oak tree at the post office resulted in a grievance.

The grievance was filed by a union representing Oak Harbor Public Works employees.

Teamsters’ Local No. 231 filed a grievance with Public Works Director Cathy Rosen on April 2. Rosen responded last week with a denial of the grievance, but union officials said they are planning to appeal.

Nobody was injured when a mobile home on Race Road burned to the ground Sunday night.

Island Fire and Rescue said the doublewide was vacant and was undergoing renovations.

The owners were in Arizona.

Neighbors of the doublewide were alerted to the fire by the sound of a tire on a nearby utility trailer bursting from the heat.

“The loud explosion kind of got people’s attention,” Hartin said.

He said about 20 people reported the fire at about 9:15 p.m.

The house was fully involved in flames and had collapsed before firefighters arrived.

Why do caring people

Pre-arrange?

How many things have you insured against in your lifetime? You have auto insurance. You’re a good driver and don’t think you need it, but the state didn’t give you a choice. When you bought your home, the lender Linda Haddon insisted that you insure it and the contents in case of fire. The actual chances of it catching fire are pretty slim. You have medical insurance and you may or may not need it, but without it, you’ll never find a doctor who will take the time to see you. We even insure against disaster and store food, water, blankets, flashlights and all kids of survival goods, just in case.

Oddly enough, all the things we insure against may never happen. But, when one talks about final arrangements, the only certainty in life, no one thinks to insure the inevitable. It only makes sense, for so many reasons.

Treasurer struggling with delayed tax supplements

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

The Island County treasurer told county commissioners this month that the backlog of unprocessed property supplements will take at least another month to complete.

“It has created some very difficult situations, which is why I have as many people working on it and they are working overtime to get them done,” Treasurer Ana Maria Nunez said at a recent work session.

An audit finding last year determined that the county was backlogged on processing property tax supplements because “Island County lacked adequate internal controls to ensure timely processing of property tax adjustments.”

Nunez told county commissioners last year that the supplements would be caught up by June. But this month, Nunez said they will not be completed until July.

Nunez said her office has struggled with keeping up with the property supplements

since she started in 2005.

Nunez said the county was on the verge of catching up by 2008, but the recession forced the county to lay off employees, including one full-time employee in the treasurer’s office, followed by another in 2009.

While her office has made good progress on the backlog, Nunez said a staff member took some unexpected leave, and that contributed to the delay.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson stressed the need to get caught up as soon as possible.

“I continue to hear from people who are frustrated waiting for their supplement to be processed,” Price Johnson said. “As the real estate market has heated up, the more trouble and complications it creates.”

In early 2012, Island County commissioners authorized a full-time employee dedicated to addressing the county’s backlog.

And in budget talks for the 2014 year, the board authorized continuing that position to ensure the backlog is addressed.

ISLAND SCANNER The following items were selected from reports made to the Island County Sheriff’s Office:

SATURDAY, APRIL 5 At 12:37 a.m., a resident reported that someone was going through a dumpster on Oak Street.

At 6:52 a.m., a Harold Street resident reported that there was a squirrel in his backyard walking in circles. The man said he was afraid to go and help the critter because someone might videotape him and post it on Youtube.

At 10:41 a.m., a Goldfinch Lane resident reported that someone stole firewood.

At 11:52 a.m., a Fish Road resident called 911 and said, “Isn’t your job to serve and protect?”

At 4:30 p.m., a caller reported that he was concerned about a resident who has been writing letters in “someone’s blood.”

The caller said the man had a bunch of photos in which “he was torturing a duck.”

A deputy checked on the man and determined that he was not an immediate danger to himself or others, including ducks, the sheriff’s office reported. He

was arrested on outstanding warrants.

At 5:47 p.m., a Clark County dispatcher reported that a resident received a three-hour message from an elderly person on North Whidbey. The senior woman sounded like she needed help.

At 6:29 p.m., a man reported that an aggressive dog went after his kids on Candlefish Lane.

SUNDAY, APRIL 6 At 2:17 p.m., an Airline Way resident reported that two sports cars crashed into the fence. One of the drivers got out, picked up his bumper and drove off.

At 7:22 p.m., a caller reported that a woman who looked high was dancing on the side of Highway 20 near Liberty Mart.

At 9:25 p.m., there was a report of four people breaking into a vacant trailer, possibly a meth lab, on Heller Road.

At 9:33 p.m., a Diane Avenue resident reported that her roommate was belligerent and was hitting her.

broke into a shed on Heller Road.

At 4:33 p.m., a Troxell Road resident reported that a woman, possibly under the influence of drugs, came to the front door and said she was unaware of where she was.

At 8:29 p.m., a camper at Fort Casey State Park said a suspicious woman with a scarf over her head was walking and rambling about how many days are in a year.

At 11:16 p.m., a Parkwood Drive resident reported hearing a woman moaning outside his house.

TUESDAY, APRIL 8 At 2:18 a.m., a Glacier Lane resident reported she knew a woman was trespassing because the dogs’ collars were jingling.

At 4:49 a.m., there was a report of two men and a woman fighting in the McDonalds parking lot.

At 10:46 p.m., a caller reported mini-horses were being neglected on Silver Lake Road.

At 10:34 a.m., a Twin Lagoon Lane resident reported that a neighbor threatened to dig up her plants because he doesn’t like what she is planting.

Marijuana growers and processors will not have to be located on a county road to be eligible for a license.

Island County commissioners responded to comments during Monday’s public hearing. A handful of residents said the county road requirement would prevent them from participating in the fledgling industry.

“Most (rural) areas are on private roads, which would push them (marijuana operations) into city areas,” said resident Holly Hansen.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown has expressed to county commissioners his desire that all recreational marijuana operations be easily accessible to law enforcement and located along county roads.

Commissioners agreed that the requirement to be on a county road would be a hardship to some and directed staff to change language to allow for private road access.

However, marijuana growers and processors will be required to demonstrate accessibility either through an easement or a letter

signed by all road users that it will remain open to law enforcement.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said this would put the “onus on the applicant” while still allowing them to participate.

County planning staff drafted ordinance C-40-14 in response to Initiative 502, the passage of which last year legalized recreational marijuana in the state of Washington.

The commissioners also adjusted the lot size requirement after a couple of residents stated that the 250-foot minimum lot line requirement would rule out oddlyshaped parcels. After some discussion, commissioners agreed to make the requirement an “average” of 275 feet for the minimum lot line.

Commissioner Jill Johnson pressed for a 300-foot minimum lot line requirement to help ensure that operations are not too close to each other.

Johnson said it’s the county’s responsibility to ensure that the industry does not negatively impact the 46 percent of Washington voters who did not approve I-502.

“To think that people are going to be excited to have that as a neighbor, I think, is naive,” Johnson said.

Commissioner Kelly Emerson supported the change in the lot size, but said that over-regulating

beyond the state’s requirements is “overkill.”

“When the majority speaks, the majority speaks,” Emerson said. “We need to allow it in the fashion the voters voted it in.”

Price Johnson agreed with the 300-foot requirement, as long as it was averaged.

Emerson proposed 275 feet, a figure that was backed by Price Johnson.

Johnson stressed throughout the meeting her desire to protect island residents from any negative impacts associated with the industry.

“This is a new industry and a new use and the newcomer is the industry,” Johnson said. “We need to look at the quality of life to existing neighbors and what kind of experience we want to give them to this industry.”

Price Johnson noted that illegal marijuana has already been happening on the island.

“Marijuana has been grown in Island County for a very long time,” Price Johnson said. “It’s just been done in a clandestine way.

This is a way to bring it out of the shadows.

“If there are unforeseen issues that arise, we can address that.”

Because changes to the ordinance need to be reviewed by the public, commissioners agreed to extend the public hearing to 10:15 a.m. Monday, May 5.

Odd Fellows Hall gets fresh coat

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows Hall in Oak Harbor got a fresh look Saturday.

Volunteers from SherwinWilliams paint store were joined by other volunteers from the community in applying a fresh coat of paint to the building’s exterior. In the process, they completed some minor repair work.

This project was held in conjunction with National Painting Week, held annually

by Sherwin-Williams stores.

During Painting Week, the stores offer painting ideas, tips, inspiration and more from do-it-yourself bloggers and Sherwin-Williams employees.

It is also when thousands of Sherwin-Williams employees donate time and store products to update and refresh local nonprofits, churches, schools and other community organizations.

David Crume, manager for the Sherwin-Williams store in Oak Harbor, organized this year’s community project. He said that corporate Sherwin-Williams leaders wanted local stores to participate in a community project; for the local region, the company decided to do a project

in Seattle.

Crume, however, wanted to do something in his own community and chose to help the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, commonly known as IOOF, which is a global altruistic and benevolent fraternal organization.

“I decided to do my own,” he said. “I went through and looked at probably 30 different nonprofits, and I found the IOOF.” The goal for the Odd Fellows project was to repaint the outside and make some necessary repairs to the building, Crume said.

Crume worked with IOOF members to select paint colors, but added the decision was ultimately up to him.

For about a week and a half before Saturday’s event, Crume said volunteers were working on repairs, including rebuilding a retaining wall used for storage. Before volunteers repainted the building, much of the maintenance was completed.

“Saturday’s goal was just to get it all painted,” he said.

On Saturday, the 16-member work crew comprised of half Sherwin-Williams staff and half Oak Harbor volunteers painted the IOOF hall.

According to Crume, everything they set out to fix was completed, except for replac-

Last year, a total of 425 Sherwin-Williams stores participated in community projects across the country, according to the company’s website. This year, almost 150 community projects will

be completed in April “from Seattle to Tampa,” for the National Painting Week, by roughly 1,400 SherwinWilliams stores, according to the media contact for National Painting Week, Hillary Call.

Projects include painting historical landmarks, baseball fields, Habitat for Humanity houses, churches and schools.

Westgate Homes is moving this month to a new location, about a half mile south on State Highway 20.

The business, which sells RVs, RV parts and manufactured homes, is downsizing and company leaders wanted to move to a smaller location to make their operation more efficient, according to General Manager Kevin Fakkema.

Many of the services that Westgate offered at its previous location are not offered anymore, including RV service and RV and manufactured home storage, according to Fakkema.

Westgate will continue to sell RVs, RV parts, manufactured homes and “some real estate sales,” according to Fakkema.

“We’re going to focus more on the home and RV sales and not so much on all the other stuff we were doing,” Fakkema said.

The reason for the downsizing has a lot to do with the economy.

“I’m just trying to get our overhead down, and this is a good way to do it,” said Fakkema.

The plans are to complete the move to their new location by the end of the month and, eventually, sell the old property.

“Part of the reason we’re doing this is so we can keep everyone still employed,” Fakkema said.

With all the “trimming,” he explained, Westgate was able to keep all of its employees and “didn’t have to lay anyone off.”

Westgate Homes is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturdays and closed on Sundays.

It is now located at 33510 State Highway 20 in Oak Harbor.

Elementary schools awarded Fair group wants regular

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Two Oak Harbor elementary schools received Washington Academic Achievement Awards for 2013.

Broad View Elementary received a High Progress Award and Hillcrest Elementary received a Special Recognition Award for reading and math growth.

The High Progress award is given to Washington schools that are in the top 10 percent of academic improvement over the last three years.

The Special Recognition Award is given to the schools in the top 5 percent of academic growth in reading and math.

“I think it is a great statement about how our kids are working hard, our teachers are making learning interesting and motivating kids to want to learn,” said Principal Joyce Swanson, “and I think it

just speaks to everybody’s commitment to making sure kids are successful.”

These awards are given based on statewide assessment data for the last three years, according to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s website.

Schools are assessed using the State Board of Education Revised Achievement Index and criteria set by the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act Flexibility Waiver.

“It’s not just a flash in the pan,” said Swanson.

“This kind of award is recognizing us for a number of years of progress.

According to Lance Gibbon, superintendent of the Oak Harbor School District, this isn’t the first time Oak Harbor elementary schools have been recognized with these awards.

“Student success is our priority as a district,” Gibbon said in an email, “and the growth recognized in these two schools

is evidence that we’re making progress.”

But according to school leaders, the improvement is not just because of the school faculty.

“Improving student learning is really a team effort,” Gibbon said. “It takes teachers, support staff, principals, students and parents all working together toward a common goal.”

Paula Seaman, principal of Hillcrest, said that the award was given to the whole community.

“This is such a wonderful place to work,” Seaman said, “and I was just so proud to be a part of this community and a part of Hillcrest.”

The schools and the district all intend to keep working towards improving the chances of student success.

“Success in elementary school is a strong foundation for everything they’re going to do for the rest of their lives,” said Swanson.

Board adopts new curriculum

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

During the Oak Harbor School District board meeting last week, the board adopted a new secondary social studies curriculum, which was in the works for months.

The biggest change in the curriculum is the replacement of “modern world problems” classes with “modern global economics.”

For some staff members, this change was initially a concern because they felt modern world problems subject matter would not be covered well enough in the new curriculum.

Brett McLeod, a teacher at Oak Harbor High School who has taught modern world problems for about eight years, was among those expressing concerns.

The curriculum committee asked McLeod and fellow modern world problems teacher Mike Fisher to go over the proposal to ensure that the subject is covered.

Before seeing the proposal, McLeod felt

modern world problems was the priority, and Fisher felt modern global economics was more important.

“We looked at the curriculum, and what happened was … we saw that we could do both,” McLeod said.

The two worked together to ensure both subjects will be adequately covered.

“I think what this will allow us to do is kind of almost get the best of both worlds,” Fisher said.

Another change in this curriculum is that mandatory state history class will be taught in seventh grade rather than later.

For students who enter the school district in eighth through 10th grades, there will most likely be an online program to make up the credit, though it hasn’t been finalized. Students joining in 11th or 12th grade will get a waiver for the requirement.

The school board approved the adoption of the curriculum change, which will go into effect at the start of the next school year.

county funding, new lease

By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter

Running the Island County Fairgrounds costs too much, and the managing Whidbey Island Fair Association wants county funding as part of a restructured lease.

In a letter sent to the county commissioners on April 9, fair association president Diane Divelbess wrote that her group could not “in good faith” renew the lease as it exists without any county support for the property. The two-year lease is set to expire in June.

“The way we are now, we are managing but without sufficient funds to manage,” Divelbess said in a phone interview Thursday. “Up to now, the county has given us what [it] has been able to give us.”

That reality rang true with Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. She worked with a steering committee that presented a $10.12 million overhaul of the property over 10 years.

“What we found was the property has increasing challenges,” she said.

“What is clear from the study is the fair association needs to focus on the fair, and that is reflected in this letter,” she added.

Island County, the owner of the 12.8-acre property on Camano Avenue in Langley, has not budgeted any maintenance and operations funding for the fairgrounds for several years. In lieu of that money, the county offered $30,000 to the nonprofit fair association set up to manage the grounds and facility. The funds could only be spent on capital improvements. But recent problems with roofing, stormwater, burst pipes and the Pole Building’s not-quitecommercial kitchen remodel

“The way we are now, we are managing but without sufficient funds to manage.”

Diane Divelbess, Whidbey Island Fair Association president

all required well more than the county’s budgeted amount.

“The fairgrounds is sort of an albatross that the county is stuck with, and I think the average public thinks there is plenty of money in the county coffers and wonders what’s the big deal,” Divelbess said.

“We’re just hoping that we can come up with some kind of an arrangement where we’re put into the county’s budgeting process.”

The association’s request to redo its lease comes on the heels of a proposal that would have completely taken it out of the landlord business. Significant opposition arose from Whidbey Island residents displeased with the reimagined property. Out of the dissent, however, came a renewed charge that the property is in some state of disrepair and the fair association needs help. Divelbess said she has 15 applications to join the association that she was sorting through and she and the other fair directors hoped to garner more public support going forward.

Public support for the property’s survival was also noted

by Price Johnson as a positive outcome of the proposal’s opposition.

“The upside is that a lot of people are thinking about the fairgrounds,” Price Johnson said.

“There’s an opportunity ahead.”

The lease itself is a honeypot: attractive but ensnaring. It allows the managing agency — the Whidbey

Island Fair Association — full use of the property, including the ability to rent out its facilities, and to keep any revenue generated from it. But it also holds the fair association responsible for the property’s and the buildings’ upkeep. When the fair association originally signed the agreement, it thought the four-day fair would generate enough money to handle small upkeep issues.

“It’s actually a good arrangement, it’s just that the buildings are old enough that we can’t rent them for what they’re worth,” Divelbess said.

“With some additional monies, we can probably manage quite well to finally spruce up things and make it possible for some of the buildings, like the Pole Building, to be rentable,” she added. “It would be nice if we got some buildings really up to snuff.”

Price Johnson said that it is possible for Island County to resume active management of the property or to find a new group to run it, which would allow the fair association to solely focus on producing the fair. But the county is in the process of cutting some of its expenses, including possibly passing along stewardship of some park properties over the next few years. Any decision on the property would likely include the opinion of a new county facilities director, currently a vacant position.

The interim Island County facilities director was directed by the commissioners to begin looking at the county’s options and the fair association’s request.

“How it’s managed is really going to be our question,” Price Johnson said. “Is it a county employee, [or] do we enter into a relationship with another entity?”

ANOTHER VIEWPOINT

Glendale purchase an opportunity too good to pass up GUEST EDITORIAL

By JUSTIN BURNETT

A single person has the power to change the future for us all. About a week ago, that person was Island County Commissioner Jill Johnson.

The Oak Harbor Republican reconsidered her earlier position and, in a surprise move, agreed to approve a partnership between the county and the Whidbey Camano Land Trust to purchase beachfront property in Glendale.

Glendale is located on South Whidbey.

Island County isn’t pitching any money into the deal, but will hold a recreation easement on the land.

The decision is not an outright victory, as the property still must be purchased, but combined with the vote of Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, the project now has a chance.

Buying public land is controversial, especially these days.

Some argue that government must slow its feverish land purchasing and focus efforts and resources on maintaining what it already owns.

The merits of that argument are clear, especially since county government has been so strapped for cash that it has begged other public agencies or organizations to take over some of its park lands.

But that doesn’t mean special opportunities should be passed over, and Glendale qualifies as a special opportunity. This tiny community was once a boomtown, a crossroad of loggers and fishermen.

The historic Glendale hotel still stands sentry over a property that served as an access — albiet privately owned — to the water.

The two properties for sale also have assets that make them especially appealing. One has a boat launch and the other a long dock.

Overwater construction isn’t cheap or easy to permit and is increasingly difficult to find.

Some argue that there are better beaches to purchase, ones not so isolated from the island’s population centers and transportation arteries.

But issues of access or overwater facilities aside, this is simply beachfront property and that alone makes SEE GLENDALE, A7

The gall and arrogance of group is amazing Editor, I never thought I’d be writing a Letter to the Editor about fairy tales, but Michael Monson’s April 12 letter, “Don’t Be a Chicken Little over Jet Noise,” prompts me to do so.

Monson’s a master at leaving data and evidence out of his arguments.

He claims that the COER does not want the Naval Air Station to close, yet when closing it was being considered, former COER President Ken Pickard said, “There was hope when the NAS was placed on the BRAC list.”

Monson further misleads his readers that by saying that closing the OLF and moving the Growlers won’t result in the NAS closing. Have a look at seaforces.org and note the number and type of squadrons based at at NAS Whidbey Island. Thirteen are VAQ

squadrons who fly, or will fly, the EA-18 Growlers. Out of the kindness of his heart, Mr. Monson would leave the VP Squadrons, currently flying P3’s, in place. How many VP Squadrons are there? Four. Monson doesn’t think that moving the Growlers would result in base closure? He does live in a fairy tale.

Mr. Monson tries further to minimize concern about base closure, implying that there’s nothing to worry about, and calling those who do worry “Chicken Littles.” Check militaryinstallations.dod.mil and find that a NAS Whidbey closure would negatively impact the following people: 7,050 military personnel 14,000 family members 14,000 retirees 350-plus reservists 2,420 civilian and contract employees That’s a lot of “Chicken Littles.” In addition, one must also consider the devastating effect that would have on Island businesses. Imagine losing the patronage of so many.

There’s another irony to consider

here. Undoubtedly a high percentage of COER members are anti-military types who complain bitterly about military spending. Yet they have no problem with demanding that the Navy, the U.S., the taxpayer, you, pay the billions it would take to relocate the Growlers and devastate the lives of thousands.

The gall and arrogance of the COER amaze me.

it worthy of consideration. Whidbey is an island. There is only so much land. Growth won’t stop. Everyone wants a view.

In other words, every beach is precious.

This is not a new argument. Beach access is just as important now, as it was 50 years ago, and 50 years from now island residents who can’t afford the half million dollar price tag for shoreline property will look back and thank the leaders of today for their foresight. n Justin Burnett is editor for the South Whidbey Record.

The search for state parks funding THE PETRI DISH

By JERRY CORNFIELD A task force appointed by Gov. Jay Inslee began work today on finding a better way to fund the state parks system and promote Washington’s multi-billion dollar outdoor recreation

industry.

Inslee also wants the panel to come up with ideas for getting children to spend more time recreating in the outdoors, which he hopes will help stem the spread of obesity among the state’s youngest residents.

The 17-member Washington Blue Ribbon Task Force on Parks and Outdoor Recreation is supposed to deliver its recommendations in

September.

Panel members come from the private, public and nonprofit sectors and do not receive salaries for their participation. They include representatives of REI, Outdoor Research, The Wilderness Society, Trust for Public Land, Sierra Club and Washington Tourism Alliance.

Connor Inslee, chief operating officer of Outdoors for All Foundation and one of the governor’s three sons, is on the panel too. The group helps disabled children and adults enjoy all facets of outdoor recreation.

The panel’s toughest challenge may be coming up with a means of providing sustainable funding for the cashstrapped state parks system. Inslee said if they come up with the ideas, he’s willing to expend political capital to get them through the Legislature.

“This is a very critical task because our state parks are in a very critical situation,” he told the panel at its inaugural meeting in Olympia this morning.

“It is tragic in my view to have the most beautiful state parks naturally in the United States and the most pathetic excuse for a lack of political and financial support perhaps in the United States,” he said.

Inslee also wants suggestions on how the state can attract more tourists to Washington to recreate in the outdoors.

A report issued last year by the Outdoor Industry Association found $22.5 billion is spent annually in the state on outdoor recreation.

The industry supports 226,600 jobs and generates $1.6 billion in state and local tax revenues, said the report.

Inslee knows the task force has a big order to fill.

“The state is counting on you,” he said. “My grandkids … are counting on you.” n Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet.com. Call him at 360-352-8623 or jcornfield@heraldnet.com

Total compensation is key in minimum wage debate GUEST COLUMN

By DON C. BRUNELL One of the problems with the minimum wage debate is the name itself.

If we want to ensure that we don’t hurt lowerincome workers, we should consider total compensation, not just wages.

Case in point: Bill H. earns $15 an hour as a parking lot attendant.

Lisa W. earns $12.25 an hour at a fast food restaurant.

But Lisa’s employer provides merit raises, paid vacations, health insurance, management training, education scholarships, childcare assistance and a 401k retirement plan.

Who is better off? Would it help or hurt Lisa if she lost all her benefits, but gained $2.75 an hour in wages?

We need to consider that question as part of any debate about the minimum wage.

The truth is, raising the minimum wage is not as clear or as simple as

some would have us believe.

Let’s leave aside for a moment the fact that no city or state has ever attempted to raise its minimum wage by 60 percent. Most experts agree that the more extreme and abrupt the increase, the more economic casualties it creates — lost jobs and lost opportunities.

But as any employer knows, there is much more to employee compensation than wages.

According to a March, 2014 report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, private-sector employers pay an additional 30 percent on top of wages for employee benefits such as Social Security, Medicare, workers compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, paid leave, health care, retirement, etc.

For example, the BLS reports that, while the average service worker makes $12.17 an hour, their benefits bring their total compensation to $16.95 per hour.

Because Washington’s current minimum wage is the highest in the nation, employer costs – and employee benefits – are likely greater here.

Take Dick’s Drive-In, for example.

An iconic Seattle-area institution for 60 years, Dick’s Drive-in provides good wages and generous employee

benefits.

According to Jasmine Donovan, granddaughter of founder Dick Spady, employees start at $10.25 an hour, receive regular merit raises, health insurance, $22,000 in scholarships over four years, child-care assistance, bonuses, paid vacations, a 401(k) retirement plan with a 50 percent employer match and paid volunteer time at local charities.

These benefits push the total compensation for employees of Dick’s Drive-In above the targeted $15 per hour minimum wage.

But if the company is forced to bump wages to $15 per hour, it will not be able to afford the employee benefits it currently provides.

Donovan cautions, “Employees who earn higher taxable wages, but lose valuable tax-free benefits may end up worse off.”

The same is true for the employees of Burgerville restaurants.

Founded in the 1960s, Burgerville operates 39 restaurants from Centralia, Wash., to Albany, Ore. Like Dick’s Drive-In, Burgerville management is focused on helping their employees succeed.

Employees who work their way into management positions get free management training, medical and

dental insurance, a 401k plan with a company match, paid vacation, child care assistance and tuition reimbursement.

These benefits have value — value that must be considered in any discussion about raising the minimum wage.

What else should that discussion include?

Donovan suggests that the minimum wage should increase with education and skill levels. High-school dropouts who earn a GED would get a bump in their minimum wage; high school graduates earn a higher wage.

Technical or management degrees net an even higher wage.

These steps not only recognize the added value of education and skills, they provide incentives for people to achieve those goals in order to get higher pay. The skills and education they gain as a result will help them succeed throughout their lives.

Isn’t that what we really want? n Don C. Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as president of the Association of Washington Business.

got till it’s gone. They paved paradise and put it a parking lot.” Joni Mitchell.

The Greening Congregations of Whidbey invite you to join us 7 p.m. Friday, April 25 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation Freeland for the film Growthbusters: Hooked on Growth.

At 7 billion and growing, with 40 percent of the planet’s surface in food production and our effluence poisoning our land and water, it is clear that

our growth-centric system is broken.

It’s not providing the happiness or the prosperity we seek.

Water shortages, hunger, peak oil, species extinction, even increasing depression are all symptoms of a deeper problem — addiction to unending growth in a world that has limits.

This film goes beyond prescribing Band-Aids.

It examines the cultural barriers that prevent us from reacting rationally

to the evidence. From Las Vegas to Atlanta; Mexico City to Mumbai; the White House to the Vatican — it’s Wild Kingdom with a twist.

It looks into the psychology of denial and crowd behavior, explores our obsession with growth and our reluctance to address it while encouraging us to examine the beliefs and behaviors we must leave behind — and the values we need to embrace — so our children can survive and thrive.

Wildcat golfers pick up 2nd, 3rd in two matches

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

After placing third in a fiveteam match Friday, April 18, at the Whidbey Golf Club, the Oak Harbor High School boys golf team jumped to second in its next five-team home match Monday, April 21.

Friday’s contest was highlighted by a strong showing by three Wildcats. Mac Kerfoot (81), Mason Dieter (85) and Aaron Kelley (86) had the fourth, fifth and sixth best scores out of 30 golfers to help Oak Harbor to 452 team points.

Meadowdale won the meet with 429 strokes, and Marysville Getchell finished second at 435.

After Oak Harbor, Glacier Peak carded a 459 and Everett a 489.

“With two JV guys playing, getting third wasn’t so bad,” said coach David Smith.

Tom Dale (108) and T.J. Cortez (114) filled in for two Wildcat golfers unable to compete. Steven Timm (92) rounded out the team.

“This was one of Aaron’s best rounds,” Smith said.

Wolves rally for win Showing its mental toughness, the Coupeville High School softball team came back to defeat visiting Lakewood 8-6 Friday, April 18.

The Cougars (4-4, 6-4), who defeated Coupeville 9-1 earlier this spring, jumped to leads of 3-0 and 6-1 over the first two innings, but the Wolves refused to fold.

After surrendering six runs and seven hits in the first two innings, Coupeville pitcher McKayla Bailey blanked the Cougars on three hits the rest of the way.

Down 3-0 after one inning, Coupeville scored one run in its half.

Maddi Roberts led off with an infield single and eventually scored when she escaped a Lakewood run down between third and home.

The Cougars added three more runs in the second and Coupeville responded with two.

Singles by Haley Sherman, Emily Coulter and Bree Messner helped plate the two runs.

Coupeville still trailed 6-3 going into the bottom of the fifth when it rallied to tie it. A single by Roberts, a double

by Messner and a triple by Sherman

highlighted the inning.

The Wolves completed the comeback with a two-run sixth.

Coulter doubled and moved to third on Roberts’ single. Messner followed with a hit, driving in Coulter. Bailey walked to fill the bases, and Hailey Hammer’s sacrifice fly scored Roberts.

“This game, we put everything together,” co-head coach David King said. “Pitching, defense, hitting and base running. The team came out focused and, after getting down three before we even hit and then 6-3 after two, remained focused the whole game.”

Roberts finished with three hits, two RBI and three runs; and catcher Messner was 3-for-3 with a double, three RBI and threw out a would-be base stealer. Coulter and Sherman each added two hits.

“Others throughout the line up put together good at bats,” King said.

“Defensively we played solid, made all of the routine plays and added a few ‘wow’ plays.”

Coupeville (3-6, 4-6) travels to South Whidbey (2-9, 3-9) at 4 p.m. Thursday, April 24.

round; he has been steady all year.”

Gage St. John of Marysville Getchell earned medalist honors with a four-over 76.

Oak Harbor and Marysville Getchell faced three different teams in Monday’s match, and this time the Wildcats placed ahead of the Chargers.

Sedro-Woolley, from the Northwest Conference, easily defeated four Wesco teams with a stroke total of 417.

Oak Harbor finished at 451, just ahead of Mountlake Terrace (454) and Marysville Getchell (455). Marysville Pilchuck trailed the field at 533.

The Cubs’ Colton Taxeahl took medalist honors with a two-over 74, four shots ahead of Kerfoot.

Kerfoot shot even par through the first nine and finished the day with four birdies.

Kelley was next for the Wildcats with a 90, followed

by Timm (92), Mason Dieter (93), Dale (98) and Caleb Brookshire (104).

Afternoon Tee

SPORTS IN BRIEF

Ladies’ group enjoys time on the golf course

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Obviously, a good place to find the members of the Wednesday Women’s Golf Association is on the Gallery Golf Course.

That is, if they are not on a softball diamond. Or at a bowling alley.

The group, about 20 strong, meets each midweek at the Gallery for a round of golf. They tee off at 2 and 2:10 p.m., and for those who have jobs, 4 and 4:50 p.m.

More tee times will be added if needed, according to Rosemary Kunow, membership committee chairwoman.

The core of the group first met years ago while playing in the same softball league. Most still bowl together.

In fact, the group competed in a bowling tournament in Tacoma in late March and are heading to Reno for the national tournament May 17.

But Wednesday afternoons from April to September are devoted to

Eagle Run kicks of Holland Happening The Eagle Run and Dash take place at Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor Saturday, April 26.

The 1K dash for kids begins at 8 a.m. and the 5K road run starts at 8:15 a.m., preceding Holland Happening events.

The fee is $20 for adults and $12 for kids under 15.

Post-race food will be available.

golf.

The club formed four years ago and shifted from Tuesdays to Wednesdays this spring.

In addition, they play is some Saturday tournaments for fun and “hope to host an invitational this year with women of other clubs,” said Kunow.

By meeting as a club rather than golfing individually, the commitment “forces” them to get out and exercise.

“It provides a place to play and people to play with,” Kunow said.

“You don’t have to be good to have a good time,” Vickie Burns said.

“It is so neat we met playing softball,” said Maria Crowell. “Then bowling and now this.”

“We welcome anybody with some golfing experience,” Kunow said.

“Beginning golfers should look at the Thursday afternoon Gallery offering of ladies rules and instruction.”

Those interested in joining the group can email golf_gwwga@yahoo.com

Boys Scouts host good health event Boy Scouts of America Troop 57 is hosting a 5K walk/run for good health at 9 a.m. Sunday, May 4, at Community Park in Langley.

The cost is $25 through preregistration or $30 the day of the race. The family rate is $100 for four or more.

All finishers will receive a swag bag and medal.

A fly fisherman casts into Pass Lake in Deception Pass State Park April 12. Pass Lake is a catch-and-release, fly-fishing only lake known for its big trout and scenic backdrop.

Taking stock of lakes opener Thousands of trout planted in lakes in and around Whidbey for popular event

By RON NEWBERRY

Staff reporter

t’s always the big fish that spike the most interest.

When Dave Whitmer and others with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife travel to different communities with truckloads of trout to unload, it’s often the jumbo-sized trout that draw the most curiosity.

Even on the ferry ride from Mukilteo to Clinton.

“It’s usually the ferry guys asking us where we’re going and if we’re bringing the triploids,” Whitmer said.

Trout fishing kicks into high gear Saturday, April 26, when anglers are allowed to cast their lines and chase freshly-stocked trout in many of the state’s lakes.

Although many waters are open year round, the fourth Saturday in April marks the traditional start of trout fishing in lowland lakes and is regarded as the state’s biggest fishing day of the year, drawing hundreds of thousands of anglers.

On Whidbey Island, where salmon fishing is king, the buzz for trout might not be as audible but

the whispers are heard nonetheless.

Especially around this time of year.

“People are already coming in and hanging out and talking about it,” said Bob Crouch, a sporting goods employee at Sebo’s hardware store in Bayview. “A couple people saw the state trucks coming over on the ferry dumping planters. People are already psyched up for it.”

Last week, state hatchery workers dumped more than 8,200 trout into Deer Lake in Clinton, including 208 triploids that average about 1.5 pounds apiece.

The trout population of two Langley lakes also increased significantly from plants earlier this month — Goss Lake got 4,244 additional trout, and Lone Lake received 3,055.

Cranberry Lake, in Deception Pass State Park on North Whidbey, was stocked with 6,600 trout in March.

“My favorite is Goss Lake,” said Crouch, who’s been living and fishing on Whidbey since 1973. “It’s kind of quiet. No gasoline engines are allowed in it. It’s pretty clean

A license to fish n Adult anglers looking to go after trout during the April 26 opener are required to have a current freshwater fishing license valid through March 31, 2015. Licenses cost $29.50 for adults 16 to 69 years old.

Fifteen-year-olds may buy a license for $8.05 and seniors 70 and older may purchase an annual license for $7.50. Children 14 and under are not required to have a license. Licenses may be purchased online at www.fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov or at licensed dealers such as Ace Hardware in Oak Harbor and Freeland and Sebo’s hardware store in Bayview.

and it’s a deep lake.”

Goss and Deer lakes are only open to fishing for six months of the year, starting Saturday.

Licensed anglers are allowed to keep five trout per day with no minimum size restrictions.

Some lakes such as Lone Lake and Pass Lake, in Deception Pass State Park, have special rules.

At Lone Lake, only selective gear is allowed and only one trout no smaller than 18 inches may be retained.

Pass Lake’s rules are even more strict. It is a catch-and-release, flyfishing only lake where motors are prohibited.

State hatchery personnel dump trout into Lone Lake in Langley in March to boost the lake’s fish population in time for the state’s lowland lakes opener April 26 . Special fishing rules apply at Lone Lake, where anglers may only keep one fish per day and it must be at least 18 inches.

Ron Raport of Bothell and his brother-in-law Rob Hauck of Spokane spent Saturday morning fly fishing from their float tubes on Pass Lake. Raport caught and released an 18-inch trout.

The scenic backdrop and big trout lured Raport to Pass Lake.

“It’s beautiful,” he said. “There’s something about this place that’s really cool.”

Kaber Cheney of the Oak Harbor Ace Hardware store said

most trout anglers who come to his store are headed north to lakes such as Cranberry, Campbell, Heart or Erie.

“It’s fairly popular,” he said of the area’s trout fishing.

At Sebo’s, shelves are stocked with Power Bait and artificial lures.

“If they’re trolling, some guys will use Flatfish,” Crouch said.

“Occasionally, they’ll use Rooster Tails. Green color this time of year is usually pretty hot.”

HAPPENING CONTINUED FROM A1 With roughly 100 pair in storage, and only a few sold last year, it was time to use the imagination, according to Reed, executive director of the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce.

“We have klompen coming out of our ears,” Reed said.

“We love them. It’s fun.

They just don’t have the appeal they once did. Times have changed.”

Holland Happening, a celebration of Oak Harbor’s Dutch heritage in conjunction with King’s Day, a national holiday in the Netherlands, starts Friday night and won’t stop until late Sunday.

The bulk of the activity is centered around the street fair on Pioneer Way that goes from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday.

The biggest attraction, the grand parade, starts at

11 a.m. Saturday on Pioneer Way. The parade route travels along Bayshore Drive then back on to Pioneer before winding up near the Ace Hardware parking lot.

That route will be closed to traffic during the parade and a good portion of Pioneer Way will remain that way until Sunday evening.

The Maui Avenue gate to the Seaplane base of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station will be closed from 9 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Saturday to allow for safe staging of the parade. The Torpedo Road gate will be open.

The grand marshal for the parade will be Reka (Van Wieringen) Adamson.

At age 100, Adamson is believed to be Oak Harbor High School’s oldest living graduate.

She is a member of the Class of 1931.

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

“She’s been talking about what she’s going to wear,” said Kim Kaahanui, Reka’s granddaughter.

The parade, street fair, carnival and entertainment on two stages are among the Holland Happening highlights this year as well as the return of the Dutch Dinner Friday night.

On Sunday, there will even be klompen canal races.

The klompen’s popularity took a hit last year when shoe carver Elmer Veldheer from Holland, Mich., missed the Oak Harbor event for the first time in more than 20 years.

Decorated klompen will still be on sale, ranging from $5-$15. Klompen with plants range from $10-$20.

There is talk next year of a klompen birdhouse.

“Without a shoe carver, it lost a lot of impetus,” Reed said.

Klompen, known mostly as wooden shoes from the Netherlands, will serve more than one purpose at Holland Happening this weekend. They will be sold as planters as well.

Crescent Harbor students show their smarts during annual Science Fair

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff Reporter

The experiments ranged from which paper towel offers the best absorption rate to whether ibuprofen in the water will keep a cut flower alive longer.

Those were among the projects displayed during Crescent Harbor Elementary School’s annual science fair, held last April 15-16 in the school’s library.

Projects were entirely extracurricular for students in first through fourth grades, but fifth graders were required to do an experiment for their classes.

Participation in the fair itself was optional. However, a total of about 80 projects were submitted by students.

The fair was organized by current PTA president Kenyon Blaine.

Fifth grade teachers encouraged participation in the fair because they had already done

the work anyway, Blaine said.

Nearly all of the fifth graders entered their projects into the fair, she added.

As a participation prize, every student who took part in the science fair received a rubber bracelet that read, “I dared to be in the science fair.” Most students also received a first, second or third place ribbon, depending on what grade they earned.

Blue ribbons were given to “A” projects, red to “B” projects and white to “C” projects.

Projects were graded on whether or not they asked a clear research question, made a specific hypothesis and clearly demonstrated their methods, results and conclusions.

Fifth grade projects were judged more strictly, according to Blaine.

“The majority of the participants scored one of the ribbons,” Blaine said.

Blaine said she was pleased with the turnout for the fair, even

though there were fewer participants this year than last.

“We’re really proud of our students and I think they did an awesome job,” said Blaine. “The majority of this is all done on their time, not any class time … so I”m really impressed with what they did.”

Students received suggested experiments, but were allowed to do any experiment or demonstration they chose.

Fifth grader Luz Acost tested the absorbency of two brands of paper towels. Acost said she chose her project because she “thought it was awesome to do.”

Fifth grader Luis Gutierrez did an experiment to see if people could guess which of the three same-colored sodas they drank.

Though required to do an experiment for class, he didn’t have to participate in the science fair.

“This is my first time,” he said, “so it seems like fun.”

“I decided to participate because, well, last year, I had a great project,” said Clark, who held a demonstration about the phases of the moon.

“I thought maybe I should continue working on studies of science that are pretty cool.”

Clark’s mother, Shawna Pinder, said her son did a lot of research

Parents and students were invited to view the projects after school.

“We’re looking at everyone’s science project,” Pinder said. “It’s always interesting to see what everyone else does.”

The projects were left on display Wednesday so teachers could bring their students to view them.

The grievance letter states that, under the collective bargaining agreement, union employees should have been scheduled to perform the work since it involved duties “regularly performed

by Teamster Bargaining Unit Members.”

Instead, city officials kept the plans to chop down the tree under wraps from union members and many other city employees.

Supervisors and “lead employees” in Public Works were scheduled to assist in the tree removal on March 23.

The union asked that the city stop scheduling non-union members to perform work assigned to the union; in addition, the union demands that any affected employees “be made whole for all lost wages and benefits.”

Mayor Scott Dudley said previously that he decided not to notify the community ahead of time about plans to cut down the tree in order to lower the city’s potential exposure to litigation.

City Administrator Larry Cort said he couldn’t comment on why the plans were kept secret from union members and other city employees.

“Those who needed to know knew,” Cort said.

In her letter denying the grievance, Rosen wrote that city leaders’ goal was to keep the number of city staff at a minimum “in the interest of safety and effective site management.”

“Given the business conditions specific to this job,” she wrote, “the employees that were scheduled to work on this project possess unique skills that have been proven over time, skills that bargaining unit members do not generally possess.”

Taking down the tree was “a highly complex operation” and something that the city hasn’t undertaken in the past 20-plus years, Rosen said in her response.

Two contractors were involved in the project, as were employees from the Oak Harbor Police Department, city administration and Public Works.

The contractors provided the equipment, which included a 70-foot bucket truck, a 65-foot bucket truck,

DOG FACILITY CONTINUED FROM A1 lic meeting for comment,” area resident Charlene Milliron said Monday.

“At no time were we made aware that they were accepting comment prior to this meeting.”

“Our properties, which are in a rural pastural land area, will lose their value

and their desirability. It is not the way to do business.”

“We do not want this across our road.”

Another resident, Jackie Cannizzaro, said Monday that she also learned about the proposed facility for the first time in the letter she received.

Workers examine the remains of the 330-year-old Garry oak that was removed in front of the Oak Harbor Post Office March 23. a chipper, excavator, flatbed truck, several pickup trucks, trailers and, most importantly, a 60-ton crane.

In fact, the crane wasn’t able to handle the heft of the giant trunk, resulting in it being cut in half.

“We all live on land that is rural,” Cannizzaro said.

“This is a bit of a conflict to try to make the land an income-producing property in this neighborhood.”

Sue Meinzinger, Summit Assistance Dog’s executive director, said that half of the residents notified did show up for the community meeting and she isn’t sure why the others did not receive their letters. Meinzinger said the letters were sent out 10 days before the meeting.

The project is still the

“The work that occurred during the tree removal on March 23, 2014, could not, even under the most generous interpretation, be considered ‘routine,’” Rosen wrote.

Ewing said the union is in the

early phase, Meinzinger said.

Summit just launched a 90-day feasibility study for the property and has yet to apply for any kind of permit with the county.

Meinzinger said they probably won’t be able to get a pre-application meeting with county staff for at least a month.

Nothing is set in stone, and that the property could be ruled out during the feasibility study, Meinzinger said.

Meinzinger added that

process of appealing.

That appeal goes to Cort, as city administrator.

If denied by Cort, the matter then could be appealed to a personnel board.

she would be glad to hold additional community meetings as plans move forward.

A public hearing will be required as part of the conditional use permitting process.

Meinzinger said the Anacortes-based organization has been looking for a suitable training facility since starting six years ago.

The organization decided to expand its search to Whidbey Island because it offers more large plots in rural areas than are available in the Anacortes area.

The 17-acre property at 359 E. Henni Road would provide enough space to allow Summit to screen and allow setbacks that would decrease the impact of the facility on residents, Meinzinger said.

Despite the uncertainty of the project, it is apparent that Summit may be facing opposition from residents moving forward.

“I concur we need to have a loud voice and let Island County and Summit Dogs of Anacortes know we are not OK with this commercial facility in our pastoral home sites,” Cannizzaro said in an email sent to other Henni Road area residents.

“Having a dog kennel facility not only impacts the value of our homes but also value of undeveloped and protected lands such as each of us are stewards for.

“We need to make a plan and mobilize a loud resistance.”

BLAZE CONTINUED FROM A1 it took persistence to extinguish the flames, according to Hartin.

The firefighters’ focus, Hartin said, was on protecting other structures and ensuring the flames didn’t spread.

Hartin said an outbuilding on a neighbor’s property was a little scorched, but was saved.

He said it took firefighters about an hour and a half to

put out the fire. One crew stayed around all night as “fire watch” to monitor the scene.

Hartin and others with fire expertise spent most of Monday at the scene, trying to determine the cause. He said he was able to determine the area of the home where the conflagration started, but he’s still investigating the cause.

PAGE 22, Whidbey Classified, Wednesday, April 23, 2014 Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
