Hospital to sell Bayview property

County eyes employee pay hike

Decision to buy not our fault, board says

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Should raises for elected officials be a budget priority?

That’s one of the questions facing Island County commissioners as they begin the budget process for next year and decide where to invest tax dollars that are slowly accumulating as the recession fades into history.

Commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Jill Johnson met with other elected officials Monday afternoon to kick off the budget process with a discussion about countywide priorities.

Johnson noted that the county is in the midst of a salary study on certain staff positions and asked whether the county should plan for possible wage increases for those who may earn less than average.

The elected officials, however, focused instead on their own salaries.

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks noted that elected officials haven’t had a pay raise since 2009, while members of two unions received cost of living adjustments.

“Most elected officials feel we are falling way behind,” he said.

Indeed, a study by Budget Director Elaine Marlow shows that most county officials’ salaries are near the bottom when compared to seven similar-sized counties.

The salaries for most county elected officials are based on a percentage of the District 3 commisSEE PAY HIKE, A14

She added that she had not heard negative feedback from the community about selling the undeveloped lot, only about the circumstances surrounding its original purchase six years ago.

“It’s been about how we got it, the process that took place,” she said.

Six students from South Whidbey High School have been recognized for their artwork at the 2014 Whidbey Island Art Show.

The students took home first-place awards in four out of five categories in the competition: wall art, photography, ceramics and sculpture. The fifth category is wearable art.

The competition was held May 2 by the American Association of University Women and included submissions from high schools across the island.

Katyrose Jordan won first place in wall art for her oil painting “Marilyn.” Tess Radisch won second place for “Serious Black.”

Sophie Frank won first place in photography for “Margaret.”

Karin Filield received an honorable mention for her work “Jose.”

Cheryl Swanberg won first place in sculpture for her work “Phoenix.”

Andy Madsen won first place in ceramics with his work “Jar with Lid.” South Whidbey art teacher Don Wodjenski had several students enter pieces in the competition and said the school has never received so many firstplace awards in the competition.

“They were all thrilled to have been selected,” Wodjenski said.

“Tom is well known on South Whidbey. He worked at Freeland Thriftway for more than two years and since has been working on a delivery truck covering the area. His name, too, is a familiar one on North Whidbey, since he was named after Captain Thomas Coupe, for whom Coupeville is named.”

Trumbore and Metz agree that nutritious meals aren’t the only benefit to the enrolled seniors. The social aspect is important as well.

“Some of these people don’t get out, and I feel like they appreciate someone to speak a few words with,” Trumbore said.

Volunteers can also help keep an eye on seniors who live alone.

Metz’s father, William Frank, is enrolled in the program. He receives meals three days a week, when he has dialysis.

“Knowing that he’s getting a hot meal and a friendly face delivered three times a week means the world to me,” Metz said.

Frank has been enrolled in the program for about a year, and said he “can’t say any bad about it.”

“It’s always pretty good,” Frank said.

“One of my favorite things is the dessert,” he said. “They’re usually pretty good. They’re not sugar free, but they’re low sugar, which is good, since I’m diabetic.”

To qualify for the Meals on Wheels program, seniors must be at least 60 and homebound, said Meals on Wheels assessor Leslie Saelens.

Saelens screens seniors for eligibility within two weeks of initial contact.

“There’s no income restrictions,” Saelens said, “it’s for everybody who needs it.”

SCHOOLS Board to decide on student rep South Whidbey School District Board of Directors will hear today from six students who are seeking to represent their peers on the board for the 20142015 school year.

Candidates include Macey Bishop, Reganne Brown‚ Emma Lungren, Anna Lynch, Kara Mead and Sophia Stoughton.

The board will go into executive session to evaluate each candidate for the position and select a representative for the school year, which is currently held by outgoing senior Sydney Ackerman.

The board will begin interviews at 4:30 p.m.

Wednesday, May 14 in the community room at South Whidbey Elementary School, 5380 Maxwelton Road, Langley. Following

the interviews is a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. and a workshop at 6:45 p.m. at the same location.

During the special meeting the board will discuss capital expenditures including improvements to the middle school gym sound reinforcement system and the multipurpose room A/V system. The board will also review a proposal from A-1 Mobile Lock and Key to install security entry systems at the high school, middle school and elementary school.

COUNTY Transit HQ opens this weekend Island Transit is opening its new headquarters in Coupeville this weekend.

The grand opening event will start at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 17, at the facility on Highway 20

about one mile south of Coupeville.

This new main base is the result of Island Transit receiving a State of Good Repair grant, which “is dedicated to repairing and upgrading the nation’s rail transit systems along with high-intensity motor bus systems that use high-occupancy vehicle lanes, including bus rapid transit,” according to the Federal Transit Administration’s website.

Island Transit was created in December 1987, in a 6,000-square-foot building, according to Executive Director Martha Rose.

“It was just really horrendous conditions we had been working in,” Rose said, “but we kept a smile on our faces because we’re a great group.”

Island Transit started requesting grants in 1996 after the transit system had grown so much in size that employees were practically on top of each other, Rose said. They

received word that they were successful with the State of Good Repairs grant in the fall of 2011.

They broke ground April 10, 2012.

The new base is located on 13.84 acres, more than seven of which are in Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve.

“We built the design and everything about our project based on the prairie,” Rose said.

The building is larger than Island Transit currently needs, which means there is a lot of empty space inside, and plenty of room to grow, she added.

“One of the require-

ments when you receive … federal funds is that you have to build the facility as if you are twenty years out,” said Rose. “This building will last forty to fifty years. When you’re using tax dollars, you want to build something that lasts.”

The grand opening event will include light refreshments, speeches from U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, U.S. Rep. Rick Larson, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and more. There will also be tours of the new facility to showcase the green aspects of the new building, the state-

of-the-art technology and all the historical elements that were included, according to Rose.

Commissioners declare cop week The Island County Board of Commissioners passed a proclamation proclaiming the week of May 11-17, 2014, as Police Week and May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day. Governor Inslee directed that Washington State and United States flags at all state agency facilities be lowered to half-staff on Thursday, May 15, 2014, in recognition of the annual Peace Officers Memorial Day. Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business or sunset.

Teenage employment remains a struggle on South End

By GRACE SWANSON South Whidbey Record Everyone remembers his or her first job, but for teens on South Whidbey a job can be hard to find.

Charlie McKissic, the Goose Community Grocer store manager, has noticed a change in the average employment age over his career in food retail. In the 1970s and ’80s, teenagers held a majority of the grocery jobs, from baggers to floor and courtesy clerks.

This trend shifted in the last decade when the economy tanked and more adults began to fill these positions.

The Goose staffs approximately 60 employees; four or five of these workers are aged 16 to 19. In the little more than one month McKissic has been employed as store manager, several teenagers have applied for jobs. He usually does not hire based solely on someone’s experience. In many entry-level positions, a teenager will be considered on the same basis as an adult, he said.

However, there is a restriction on how many hours a teenager can work while balancing their studies and school activities.

McKissic believes school is another reason why there are fewer teenagers employed. Many parents don’t want their kids working outside of school because it interferes with studying and extracurricular activities, he said.

In some of his previous managerial jobs, McKissic observed that many teenagers did not apply for parttime employment. Yet, he says this doesn’t appear to be as large of an issue on South Whidbey.

“I don’t know if that is because the economy is getting better or because it’s just the nature of South Whidbey,” he said.

The American Community Survey conducted in 2012 by the U.S. Census Bureau found that 35 percent of males aged 16 to 19 are unemployed in Island County, compared to 8.3 percent of females aged 16 to 19 years old. Industry positions, which are generally more male dominated, were hit the hardest during the recession, said Anneliese Vance-Sherman, regional labor economist for Washington state. This resulted in a larger number of unemployed teenage

The low percentage of unemployed females in Island County may result from inherent errors in the study. When a study consists of a smaller sample population, there is more room for sampling error, Vance-Sherman said.

Teenagers lack experience and are at a competitive disadvantage, she said.

Therefore, teens are being pushed out of the workforce.

In a recession and recovery period, younger workers are always affected the most.

The job market in Island County was hit harder in comparison to other counties in Washington. The American Community Survey estimates 29.1 percent of teen males and 23.3 of teen females are unemployed in King County.

In Snohomish County, the

unemployment rate for teenage boys is 33.8 percent and the rate for teenage girls is 18.6 percent, according to the survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2012.

Vance-Sherman said much of the labor force in Island County makes the commute to King and Snohomish counties, where there are more jobs available. In general, the job market in Island County has taken longer to bounce back than in other counties.

According to a 2012 study conducted by the Brookings Institution, the teen employment rate in Seattle was 25 percent, while the overall unemployment rate for teenagers in Washington is 34.5 percent — the third highest in the country.

Working teens are familiar with the difficulties

of finding a job on South Whidbey.

Lizzy Hanzelka, a junior at South Whidbey High School and courtesy clerk at the Goose, said businesses seem to prefer hiring adults.

She gained her position through a recommendation from an employee higher up in the company.

South Whidbey junior, Meaghan de Wolf, works 12 hours a week as a courtesy clerk at Payless. She says it has been challenging to balance her busy school schedule with her work schedule, but that she has managed OK. de Wolf applied for the courtesy clerk position last summer and after a few months she received a call to schedule an interview.

She began at Payless in August. de Wolf believes finding employment is more

Tyler Russell, a senior at South Whidbey High School, applied for his first job at the Star Store and was hired as a courtesy clerk.

He also said that getting hired on the South End is more challenging for teens.

Many of his friends are still seeking jobs.

The Star Store typically employs teenagers as courtesy clerks, which are entrylevel positions. The number hired has stayed consistent, even throughout the recession. Hope still exists for a South Whidbey teen trying to find employment.

“It’s a necessity, you have to have them,” Star Store Manager Aaron Kanauer said. “They are the back bone of the store in a lot of ways.”

Editorial Public deserved more from hospital board Whidbey General Hospital commissioners faced a tough decision Monday when they moved to sell undeveloped property in Bayview that was purchased by a past board years ago at a highly inflated price, and without an appraisal.

Should they hold onto land that no longer fits the hospital’s long-range plans in the vain hope that one day its value — $595,000 in 2013 — will match the 2008 purchase price of $2 million, or sell now in an attempt to recoup some of that investment?

The decision to move on, perhaps, was the best one.

The attitude of board members regarding the issue, however, was not.

The decision will likely result in the loss of more than $1 million, and not a single commissioner expressed responsibility or remorse for the waste of taxpayer dollars. Instead, board President Anne Tarrant said the decision to buy the property was made by a past board and that the purchase price was a reflection of the market at the time.

Such comments are highly disappointing. Yes, the choice was made by a past body, and yes, property values were at a peak in 2007/2008. But no matter who made the decision or why, the fact remains that taxpayer dollars will be lost. As elected officials, commissioners represent the hospital and a measure of accountability is expected and deserved.

An apology and a promise to be better stewards of the taxpayers dime would have been something, though a commitment to consider safeguards to avoid future losses would have been better.

Washington laws currently require public agencies to get three appraisals when selling property, but they are not mandated to get even one when purchasing land.

Ultimately what that means is public assets are protected by statute from being given away by decision makers in power, but that there is no protection to keep those same government officials from spending too much.

Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, said the existing laws warrant consideration and possibly legislative action. And the South Whidbey Record has editorialized the need for the hospital to look at crafting an internal policy to govern future land purchases. Both make sense, at the very least, and merit discussion.

But there was no such discussion during Monday’s hospital meeting, indeed not a peep. The decision to sell was the right one, but when it came to accountability what the public got was an excuse that amounted to “Oh well, it wasn’t our fault so let’s move on.”

At a time when the public just agreed to entrust $50 million to the hospital for a much-needed expansion, such disregard for the waste of tax dollars is disconcerting at best.

Letters Response

Dog House solution rests with leadership group Editor, I have declined to publicly comment due to my retirement stresses of economics and family concerns. However, I recently had the pleasure of a conversation at The Goose with the paper’s retired publisher and former editor, Jim Larson, who suggested he was looking for a letter from me in the paper.

I have read the comments of Bob Waterman, with whom I whole-heartedly agree that demolition should not be permitted until the owner presents facts that there is no other alternative.

When I first read of their purchase from the bank for $1 more than what the bank required, with what appears to be little experience running a business nor with the necessary working capital or ability to raise the money to make the necessary improvements — the figure given to a friend of mine was $1 million — I was appalled that the business community of Langley didn’t come forward with a joint effort to raise the money to

make it a successful business or to buy out the couple.

It has sat empty without tenants nor open for visitors for approximately three years or longer at the main intersection in Langley. It’s no wonder that its counterpart across the street has also has sat empty, and that other businesses have closed. One successful business owner in Langley has expressed concern to me about what is being done to improve the business climate.

In my day, we had leaders in this city who knew the heavy hitters and they made it possible for Paul Schell’s lender to take first position when he purchased the Inn at Langley, and they were paid off within a short period of time. It was a win for the city, the community and the investors who believed in Paul Schell.

Apparently, the heavy hitters within our community were never convinced that this was an investment worth pursuing, or that this couple never wanted to keep the Dog House, no matter what its unparalleled and historic value to the city and Langley’s business future.

I suggest those individuals that want the Dog House to be saved form a leadership group, get its team together and see if they can’t make another win-win

County commissioner make up warrants review Editor, I’m new to Island County and have been observing our county government for only a couple of years. If there is anything to be learned from the abominable behavior, lack of work ethic and complete disregard for the well-being of the citizens displayed by Kelly Emerson, it is that three is a bad number for any committee.

Thank goodness Ms. Emerson has resigned, but the voters of Island County should reconsider the size of our county commission. With only three members we are at the mercy of each of them to do their jobs and if they don’t, we all suffer. If we had two or three more commissioners, the poor performance or refusal to perform of any one member would be much less problematic for the county.

Langley to re-evaluate farm water rate

“We need to think of how the farm helps the community at large,” Neff said.

Arango raised the issue that if a lower rate was created for the garden and farm, the lost revenue would need to be made up elsewhere within the city’s waterline system, probably by residential or commercial users.

Councilman Thomas Gill proposed looking into raising the standard per month gallon usage limit before a higher rate kicked in for all water users in the city.

That way, during the high use months in late spring and through summer, the water bill could be lowered without changing the rate.

“An extra 2,500 gallons per month during the summer could encourage them to have a garden,” he said.

McCarthy agreed to have city staff take another look at finding a workable solution to the farm’s request and the council’s concern.

Burglar caught through cell phone Langley resident fights suspect, has $5,000 in property stolen last summer

By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record A 27-year-old Clinton man got caught chatting on a phone while in the middle of burglarizing a home and ended up tussling with the homeowner last summer, court documents state.

The burglar got away,

but not before leaving some blood behind, which was used to tie the suspect to the scene.

Prosecutors charged Michael S. Downey, the alleged burglar, in Island County Superior Court May 9 with first-degree robbery and first-degree burglary. If convicted of the charges, he could face up to five years in prison under the standard sentencing range.

According to the police report, a 49-year-old man returned to his residence on Wilkinson Road in Langley in the early morning hours of July 2013 to find someone had kicked in the door to his garage.

The homeowner entered his kitchen to find a stranger standing in the kitchen, talking on a cell phone.

The resident yelled and then started struggling with the burglar, who tried to escape. The burglar managed to get away after a fight, but left his cell phone behind, the report states.

Both men were injured and were bleeding as a result of the fight.

The resident reported that property worth more than $5,000 was stolen from his house.

Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office completed a forensic analysis of the phone.

He found photographs of

Downey’s pay stubs as well as photos of him on the phone; he was also able to confirm that Downey had used the phone on a regular basis, the report indicates.

Based on the cell phone analysis, a deputy secured a search warrant for a sample of Downey’s blood. The sample and blood from the burglary were sent to the Washington State Patrol crime lab for analysis; the lab determined the DNA matched, according to the deputy’s report.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED!

There was a time when buyers looked at a few homes, found one they liked, and bought it – no home inspections, competitive mortgage bidding, or previewing of properties on the Internet.

Sellers had it easy, too. If they had a friend who was a licensed agent, they’d hire that person, reasoning that a friend would look out for them.

Life is more complicated today, as you know.

Technology allows buyers and agents around the world to communicate instantly.

Homes are sometimes bought and sold without a face-toface meeting, electronic signatures being legal.

Lenders have created a plethora of new loan products, one for every purpose it seems. Laws and regulations, releases and disclosures, contracts and deadlines all complicate the process of selling a home.

Today, buyers are well informed about real estate matters, and sellers are well advised to hire a top-flight agent to insure the receipt of the best price for the home in the shortest time.

SWHS baseball gets payback over rivals

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record For the first time since South Whidbey baseball head coach Tom Fallon can remember, the Falcons are District 1 champions.

And it came in a Disney-esque fashion against their rivals, the Coupeville Wolves, with a 4-0 victory May 10 and a walkoff home run the day before against Friday Harbor to reach the title game.

Three weeks prior, before South Whidbey took on Sultan in a threegame Cascade Conference series, the Falcon coaches asked their players how they wanted to finish the season. The Falcons were 4-5 overall and had lost two out of their three league series heading into the second half of the regular season. Fallon recalled asking the players to buy into his vision, to commit

Penalty kick boots Falcon soccer from automatic state berth

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The joy of taking an early lead was short lived for the South Whidbey boys soccer team in the 1A District 1 title match Saturday against King’s, which won 3-2.

All of the excitement of taking a 1-0 edge in the winner-tostate game ended 12 minutes later when King’s scored the tying goal. Then, four minutes later, South Whidbey’s players were glum, when King’s took a 2-1 lead on a penalty kick that was awarded for an intentional handball penalty in the box.

King’s sophomore Forrest Perry fired his penalty shot to the right corner of the goal.

Falcon junior goalie Charley

Stelling dove and blocked the shot, which ricocheted back to Perry, who booted it in to the left while Stelling was still reeling from the save.

“My heart just sank,” said Falcon sophomore Lucas Leiberman, who scored South Whidbey’s first goal. “I was just shocked, ‘What just happened?’ When Charley saved it, I was like ‘Yes!’ That second one, there was nothing we could do about that.”

The handball, deemed intentional by the field judge,

by Falcon junior Bryce Auburn was a red card offense because he was in the goal box. Red card penalties are accompanied by ejection, and South Whidbey was limited to 10 players on the field instead of the standard 11 for

the entire second half.

During halftime, South Whidbey’s coaches and players tried to improve Auburn’s and their own moods by giving a “1-2-3 Bryce” cheer before retaking the field.

“We told him to forget about it and move on,” said Falcon junior Oliver Saunsaucie. “It didn’t hurt the team.”

Through much of the second half, however, the Falcons limited personnel dogged them. The Knights, already with a 2-1 lead and an apparent edge possessing and passing the ball, were able to space themselves to keep the Falcons on the move. Over time, it just exhausted South Whidbey’s players.

“After running around on defense trying to stop their outlets, once you get the ball, it’s hard to get a good touch on it,” Leiberman said.

King’s took a commanding midway through the sec-

knocked it in past the Falcons defenders. One of the major issues that plagued South Whidbey in its quest for the District 1 title — and its accompanying berth to the 1A state tournament — was King’s players’ height advantage. On corner kicks or neargoal throw-ins, the Knights were often the first to the ball.

“It’s really hard to mark up this team because they’re so averagely taller than us,” Saunsaucie said. “So you just have to body up.”

Being shorter than his

marked player was also an issue for Leiberman, one of the smaller Falcons who had to fight his way through the taller Knights midfielders.

“On free kicks and everything, we try everything we can to get a head [on the ball], but our height — it kills us,” Leiberman said. “Every team always has a guy taller than us.”

By the 60th minute, South Whidbey found some momentum and rattled SEE PENALTY, A9

to practicing hard and believing they could challenge every team they faced.

“Kids really re-focused,” Fallon said.

South Whidbey won its next seven games and went 7-for-9 to end the regular season. To this point in the playoffs, South Whidbey has won three games and lost none.

“To finally break through and win our district, it’s really unbelievable and something that was one of my goals,” Fallon said. “I wanted to get a banner on that wall [at South Whidbey High School]. As a former student and player and now coach, it’s been a huge goal of mine to get these kids over the hump and put something on the wall forever.”

Playing for the district title Saturday at Kamiak High School, a renegotiated site after much of the District 1 tournament was hosted in Whatcom County, South Whidbey struck early and held on to its lead. A major part of the victory was junior pitcher Charlie Patterson, who struck out seven batters, gave up three hits and a walk in a complete game.

“I’ve been thinking about that game my whole life,” Patterson said. “It’s like a dream come true.”

South Whidbey scored two runs in the third inning and a pair in the fourth. The first two came on a stolen base at home plate by senior Colton Sterba and a RBI single by senior Jake Sladky. In the fourth inning, junior Brent Piehler brought in Trent Fallon for the 3-0 lead, and senior Nick Bennett scored sophomore Ricky Muzzy on a RBI single.

From there, it was all Patterson and the defense. In the final frame, Patterson struck out one batter, got one to ground out to second base and covered first base for the final out and the district title.

“I wanted that, I wanted to be thrown in that situation,” Patterson said.

“That exact play, we work on that every day,” he added of the third and final out.

Some of the euphoria from the day before surely carried into Saturday’s game.

Against Friday Harbor, South Whidbey watched a slim lead disappear late in the

off a handful of shots on goal. Late in stoppage time, Falcon junior Andy Zisette dribbled down the right sideline with the ball, beat a pair of defenders and fired in a goal to cut the lead to 3-2. But regulation time ran out mere seconds later, and King’s emerged as the 1A

The Falcons led 3-1 going into the seventh inning. With two Wolverines on base, Sterba was relieved from the mound by Patterson. After getting the second out with a strikeout, Patterson gave up a RBI single and a RBI walk that knotted the score at 3-3 before a force out at second base sent South Whidbey to bat.

Ricky Muzzy, the first batter, was all the Falcons needed. He launched one of the first pitches he got past the outfield fence for a walkoff home run that sent South Whidbey to the district title game. Once he reached home plate, he was surrounded by his teammates for a short celebration. “[Coach Fallon] gave me the signal to take the first pitch, which was just beautiful,” Muzzy said of his final at-bat. After a curveball that hit the dirt, Muzzy drilled the third pitch, a fastball.

“For the most part, I knew it was gone,” he said.

South Whidbey has most of the week off with a guaranteed spot in the state 1A baseball tournament. The Falcons travel to play the Cascade Christian Cougars on Saturday, May 17, at Sehome High School to determine their seed in the state playoffs.

District 1 champions.

“We tied them in the second half with nine guys,” Leiberman said. “The fact that we got that goal, that was satisfying.”

“We’re still in it.”

South Whidbey played Cascade Christian at Kamiak High School in the loser-out first round of the 1A tri-district tournament Tuesday after The Record went to press.

Four South Whidbey underwater robotics teams made quite the splash at the MATE ROV Pacific Northwest Regional competition on Saturday.

Puget Sound Navigators, a South Whidbey-based team, won the newly-formed Navigator division. A pair of teams from South Whidbey Academy placed third: PCW in the Navigator division and the Underwater Submarine Seals in the Scout division.

“I’m really, really pleased,” said Timmie Sinclair, the mentor for the two South Whidbey Academy teams that entered the competition in their first year as a ROV club. The school, built as an alternative learning program for K-12, has 42 students signed up with ROV teams, out of which 24 competed at the regional event.

Atlantis Inc., a Freelandbased team of four teenagers, took second place in the Ranger-division and missed out on a chance to repeat as the Ranger remotely operated vehicle (ROV) champions after taking first place last year.

In previous years, enough teams entered the Pacific Northwest Regional that the top two teams in the Ranger division qualified for the international competition, to be held in Michigan this summer. That didn’t happen this time around, and Atlantis Inc.’s Chris Wilson, Hannah McConnaughey,

Haley McConnaughey and Annika Hustad were left disappointed but motivated for future competitions.

“We are really proud of what we accomplished,” said Wilson, the team’s captain and the ROV’s pilot, in a news release prepared by Atlantis Inc. “This is one of the most competitive regions in the world. Our goal was first or second, and we achieved that. Now we can completely focus on winning the Black Sea ROV Competition in Romania this August. We’re hungry now.”

Scores were not released by press time, leaving Atlantis to wonder how it performed in the individual categories of the presentation and mission. Though the members already knew they lost points in the mission after an inspection resulted in the need to wrap a piece of tape to the bot’s manipulator — its adjustable claw-lake tool that could poke, prod and grab objects in the King County Weyerhauser Aquatic Center pool. The tape, however, interfered with the pilot’s precision, said Ashley McConnaughey, Atlantis’ mentor.

“We are, understandably, very disappointed to achieve our goal and then to have something beyond our control cause us not to advance to internationals, especially when this was Atlantis’ last regional competition,” said Hannah, referring to the team disbanding after this year.

“But we are so proud to have created this legacy of

excellence — and we are even more determined to take first place at our last world-class competition in Romania on the Black Sea this August before the team retires.”

Mishaps like broken cables, malfunctioning cameras and missing parts are all part of the mission trial. For one of the South Whidbey Academy teams, the broken camera during the mission required a new wire to be soldered on deck.

Sinclair said it was a joy to watch the elementary and middle-school age students work through the problem on their own.

“These guys had resigned themselves to utter failure,” she said. “The night before there were tears and frustration and plenty of hair pulling.”

She praised the ROV clubs as a tool to capture students’ attention in disciplines like mathematics and science.

“If it doesn’t stink, it doesn’t blow up, then you’re not doing science right,” she said.

Of the nine grade-school trophies presented to the Scout, Navigator and Ranger division’s top three teams, four were awarded to teams from South Whidbey. In the Ranger class alone, there were 13 teams.

McConnaughey remarked that seeing so many students who live on South Whidbey, with a population of about 12,000, was an incredible feeling.

“The reign of South Whidbey robotics has in fact really started,” she said.

California quail: facing a purrrfect threat WHIDBEY BIRDING Frances Wood Each morning I look out the window and search for “our” California quails.

Usually, two pairs strut out from hiding in a native hedgerow and peck at the birdseed my husband and I scatter for them.

The males are elegantly and vibrantly plumed in black, grey and rufous; the females are more somber looking. But they both sport flamboyant, forwardfacing topknots.

Most days one of the males hops up on a low decaying stump and sounds his syncopated, “Chi-CAgo, chi-CA-go.” Earlier this spring, that call alerted us to the return of this beloved species that has not been seen in our neighborhood for over eight years.

We have the ideal breeding habitat for this groundnesting species, with a large half-acre patch of thick Nootka rose bushes. Prior to eight years ago, each spring we enjoyed seeing a covey of up to 20 quail.

Craig Johnson photo

A male California quail looks alert from his perch.

Then one year they were gone. In early spring we might hear one lone male calling for a day or two, but soon that would stop and he would leave our neighborhood to call somewhere else.

There is no way to know why these birds left, but we’ve always suspected feral and outdoor cats played a significant role, by hunting the young and

Brought to you by:

unwary adults.

We were so delighted when our quails returned.

Still, I worry that such a small covey of only four quail can sustain a population here. Certain bird species only survive in flocks.

They benefit from having many pairs of eyes to watch for predators and locate food sources.

Perhaps you’ve read recently about the pas-

senger pigeon, a species that went extinct about 100 years ago. Scientists are attempting to take DNA from museum specimens and find a way to create living birds. Their goal is to literally bring the species back to life.

They were once the most populous bird species in the country and needed big flocks to survive. Really huge flocks. Some estimate

Keep the Birds Coming Back

that three to five billion passenger pigeons lived in the United States when Europeans arrived.

John James Audubon described one flock as flying overhead in such thick numbers that they darkened the sky for hours on end. As the result of human desires to eat and eradicate them, the numbers decreased to nonsustainable-sized flocks.

The population plummeted and the last one died in the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914.

Recently I chatted with a bird-loving friend who lives a couple of miles south of us in Clinton. This guy has trained chickadees to eat seeds from his outstretched hand and has been watching the birds in his garden for over 15 years.

He bemoaned the recent decline of bird life.

He has noted fewer towhees, chickadees and nuthatches and mentioned that the white-crowned and song sparrows were mostly gone. When I asked what had changed, he replied that a new neighbor had moved in across the street with five outdoor cats.

Hearing this, I’m even more worried about our tiny flock of California quail.

We all know that outdoor cats kill birds. Neither bells nor declawing nor being well fed will keep a tabby from chasing birds.

Particularly during nesting season, April to August, it is important to keep all cats indoors.

I figure that if both our quail pair successfully raise six to eight young, we should be back to seeing our healthy quail covey in just a few years. Isn’t watching wild birds one of the sweetest benefits we have of living on Whidbey?

“Italian Spring” this Friday, May

The orchestra is featuring the winner of their young composer competition, Jon Brenner. The contest aimed to provide composers, under 35 years old, a place to have their pieces performed.

As a young composer, it’s hard to find an orchestra to showcase their work, Arakelyan said. The orchestra received submissions from Washington, California and even Illinois, but eventually chose Bainbridge-based Brenner.

Arakelyan selected Brenner for his ability to compose a modern piece for a community orchestra.

Many people in the competition focused on composing a simple piece for a community-based orchestra, Arakelyan said.

“With Jon, he used simple technique and harmony to create a modern sound — he didn’t sacrifice the modern feel,” he said.

on Thursday, May 8, with the first distribution of poppies this year by the Poppy Girls.

Members from the American Legion Auxiliary Post 141 were in attendance to hand out the symbol along with one of the two Poppy Girls, Krista Drechsel, who was chosen by the auxiliary. This was the program’s first event before Memorial Day. The poppy is a symbol of freedom that has been used since the end of WWI by the American Legion Auxiliary. The symbol was inspired by a poem called “In Flanders Fields” by Lt. Col. John McCrae in 1915.

Drechsel recited the poem “In Flanders Fields” to a small group of veterans and handed out poppies to everyone in the room. In the program, the girls meet the public and hand out poppies to support veterans.

Drechsel, 16, has been a Poppy Girl since she was six and now attends South Whidbey Academy and South Whidbey High

School. She initially joined the program because she liked volunteering and has kept going ever since. She enjoys meeting the public and hearing from veterans around the South End. The younger poppy girl is Emma Leggett, a seventh grade student at Langley Middle School.

Leggett has also held the position before and enjoys meeting people and receiving donations for the poppy program.

For Drechsel, Memorial Day is a great holiday to remember what America stands for.

“It’s not just a day off from school,” she said.

Drechsel said she is looking forward to seeing everyone wear poppies and remembering veterans, both living and deceased.

Drechsel hopes to learn from this program and travel after high school.

She is interested in joining the Peace Corps and learning new languages Already she’s learned communication is key to expanding the world and

Grab your poppy The girls will hand out poppies next weekend at both ferry docks. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 17 they will be on the Mukilteo Ferry side and on Sunday, May 18 on the Clinton side at the same time. The poppies will also be available at several South End stores such as the Bayview Goose Community Grocer, Payless Foods and Ken’s Korner Red Apple Grocery. learning what people can do for each other, she said.

The poppies are made by veterans around the nation and sold to local auxiliary chapters to be distributed around the community for Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day and other patriotic holidays.

Donations received from the poppies go back to the veterans through programs for retirement, services and families, said

Jim Knott, president and commander of the American Legion Post 141 hands, out poppies to veterans and residents of Maple Ridge in Freeland.

Libby McCauley, American Legion Post 141 Auxiliary Re-Hab Chairman.

Last year the auxiliary distributed 3,000 poppies around the South End and raised $1,700 for the programs, which was the most raised by the group so far.

“The poppies make a full circle; made by Vets and donations back to Vets,” McCauley said.

During the event she thanked everyone for their

service.

“You really were the best generation,” McCauley said.

Jim Knott, president and commander of the American Legion Post 141 South Whidbey, said he’s looking forward to meeting veterans this Memorial Day. “It’s always fun to do this,” he said.

ized as absurd heating and cooling problems in the administrative building and the Law and Justice Center.

“You could hang meat in my office and it would stay for a long time,” Banks said.

He and Undersheriff Kelly Mauck also grumbled about the lack of space in the Law and Justice Center.

Elected officials immediately complained about the lack of space when it was opened just 13 years ago, though it stopped being a concern because of staff cuts during the recession.

But now that the county is returning to pre-recession staffing levels, the crowding will become a problem again, Banks predicted. He pointed out that past commissioners claimed that the facility was built so that adding more space would be easy.

In the end, Price Johnson emphasized that the discussion was just a starting point and that budget decisions will be made after in-depth meetings with each elected official and department heads.

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.

Community Grocer, the undeveloped lot was bought from a private landowner for $1.98 million in January, 2008, as the site of a future South Whidbey clinic. The board at

the time didn’t get an appraisal, but Island County property records list its value at the time at $618,000 — a $1.36 million difference from the purchase price.

Island County recorded the property value at $595,890 in 2013.

The property was never developed, however, due to changes in the economy, affecting the district’s abil-

ity to acquire revenue bonds, and laws surrounding critical access hospitals that reduced reimbursements for out -patient services.

“I understand there is a negative history on this, but there is nothing we can do to go back and change it,” said Commissioner Georgia Gardner, who represents Central Whidbey.

“I’m not in favor of holding

onto something that we can’t use, so I think we need to sell it,” she said.

Gardner proposed putting revenue from the sale into existing programs that do “produce results” for the hospital and its outlying facilities.

Board President Anne Tarrant also addressed the background of the purchase, saying that a recent examination of board minutes indicate the property was discussed in open session.

“Whether people like the price or not, it was 2007,” Tarrant said. “Prices were extremely inflated, but none of us were on the board at that time, and I can’t go back and recreate it, nor do I want to.”

Tarrant and a hospital spokeswoman initially told The Record in April that it was unclear why the land was purchased for so much because property acquisitions are discussed in executive sessions, which are closed to the

A car accident in Freeland Friday morning left two cars damaged, but no one injured.

According to Sgt. Laura Price with the Island County Sheriff’s Office, a red Ford pickup was northbound on Highway 525 when it stopped to make a right turn onto Double Bluff Road. It was then hit from behind by a gray Ford Ranger.

The impact resulted in damage to the front left bumper of the Ford Ranger and the back right side of the red Ford pickup. The road stayed open, but flaggers limited left and right turns on Double Bluff Road.
