At about pullup number 2,100 Saturday, Navy Petty Officer Michael McCastle began to experience muscle tears in his forearms and capillaries were bursting on his skin.

He decided then to do 1,000 more.

A total of 3,202 pullups after starting, McCastle was transferred to Providence Regional Medical Center in

Candidates challenging incumbent Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuñez said they can do a better job handling the county’s money.

Nuñez’s former chief deputy Wanda Grone filed to run for the seat last month and was immediately fired by Nuñez.

“I’ve learned now how to run a treasurer’s office,” Grone said. “I’m honest. I work hard.”

The third candidate, title and escrow manager Christa Canell, said she’s running because of complaints she’s heard from former clients about mistakes made by the treasurer’s office.

“Things aren’t running properly,” Canell said. “I’ve managed an office. In escrow accounting, you don’t have room for error.”

Despite the political jabs she’s receiving from her opponents, Nuñez maintains that she has done many positive things while in office and wants the chance to do more.

“To be a good treasurer, you have to open yourself up, you have to really believe in what you are doing and that you want to make a difference,” Nuñez said.

Nuñez, a Democrat, has worked in government accounting for more than 16 years as a Department of Defense employee. She was appointed as the treasurer’s chief deputy prior to winning the top role in 2010. She is a licensed certified public accountant and has a master’s degree in accounting and financial management.

“Running again was not an easy decision, but I believe I can still make a difference,” Nuñez said. “Four years is a start, it’s not a finish.”

While McCastle stopped 828 short of surpassing the Guinness World Record for number of pullups in 24 hours, he said the attempt — and exposure it’s given to the Wounded Warrior Project — was worth it.

McCastle said he also discovered something about himself.

“I found that even when I feel I’ve reached my limit, I’m only at 40 percent of what I’m capable of,” McCastle said Monday. “After that event, I don’t think anything is impossible.”

Awful waste

Starfish deaths puzzling experts

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Starfish are among Charlie Seablom’s favorite aquatic animals to discover.

As a volunteer for the Island County Beach Watchers organization since 1993, Seablom has started to see alarming changes in his favorite sea creature.

“The ones I’m seeing, a very large percentage appear to be diseased,” Seablom said.

The pisaster sea star typically has five limbs and comes in a wide variety of colors. The orange-colored sunflower starfish grows to be far bigger, can have up to 24 legs and can “run” quite quickly.

Over the past year, a number of dying starfish were reported off the coasts of Whidbey and Camano islands.

This year is the first in which Seablom has seen any of the wasted sea stars on Whidbey.

Seablom said he’s been on the lookout since the first symptoms were reported in June 2013 by SEE WASTING AWAY, A15

Where’s the beef? At the Whidbey Island Fair

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

The Whidbey Island Area Fair starts Thursday, and with it comes an annual favorite — the 4-H Livestock Auction.

This year’s auction is Saturday, Aug. 2.

Each year, youths of 4-H purchase livestock to raise for the auction, either a calf, lamb or piglet.

“The kids raise them throughout the winter, they learn about health and nutrition, they learn about weight management, they work with their animals so that they’re safe to handle,” said Sarah Bergquist, the program coordinator for 4-H youth development.

Elizabeth Bishop, 17, has been with 4-H for four years.

She will be selling lambs and a steer at the auction.

“It’s kind of fun to see all the different people come out and a lot of them from our community,” she said, “and it’s really great to see that support.”

Bishop said she started in 4-H through the mentorship of her stepfather Scott Corfman.

“My stepdad … lived on a farm, and so he kind of showed me how to show a

cow and how to feed them and everything like that, and I thought it was really cool,” Bishop said.

Her stepfather also used to be the superintendent for the 4-H Beef Club, so Bishop became familiarized with the program and the benefits it offers participants, and that kept her in the club.

“You get so much out of 4-H. You can learn leadership and you learn responsibility for taking care of these animals, and you learn how to make friends,” she said.

Her first year, she didn’t have an animal of her own.

Instead, she just went to club meetings, helped in the barn, watched the shows and helped out in any way she could.

“It was okay that I didn’t have an animal, because I still could participate,” said Bishop.

The benefits of 4-H are numerous, according to Bergquist. Other than learning how to manage the health and weight of their animals, they also learn how to manage finances and marketing, they get an understanding of where meat comes from, what is required to produce it and, through the selling of their

It will start at 9:30 a.m. each day and end at 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 7 p.m. Sunday, and 10 p.m. Monday.

Daily admission prices $8 for adults ages 16-64, $5 for military, seniors 65 and up and children 6-15.

Elizabeth Bishop’s preparation for the Livestock Auction includes keeping her steer, Cooper, well-fed. animals, they raise money that is often saved for college.

Bishop saves a portion of her money each year for college, after the expenses of getting ready for next year’s

project.

After her senior year in high school, Bishop has plans to attend Washington State University to study human development and, eventually, nursing.

But first, she has plans to finish out her high school career with another year in 4-H. She started selling beef because of her stepfather’s influence, but lambs came later, after the last person in the lamb program graduated high school and aged out of the youth programs. Because they wanted to keep lambs in the auction, Bishop took up the mantle.

“I enjoy overcoming the challenge of halter breaking a lamb or halter breaking a steer, because it’s definitely a lot of work and it doesn’t just come easy,” she said.

The Livestock Auction starts at noon on Saturday in the fair’s livestock arena, though bidder registration starts at 11 a.m. The predicted average of bids is about $2.50 per pound for steers and hogs, and $3.50 per pound for lambs. Steers are sold by the quarter, hogs

by the half and lambs as a whole.

Pam Bishop-Corfman, on the livestock sales committee, said that she expects prices to be around $800 for a quarter of a steer, about $250 for half a hog and about $350 for a lamb.

The optional services of a butcher and meat processor is offered to buyers after the auction.

This year, the ages of participants ranges from 9 to 18.

After raising the animal for months, it can be hard to let them go to slaughter at the end.

“That’s a tough day, especially for the younger ones,” Bergquist said.

“It’s worth it, because you can tell the people what exactly went into your animal, and that it’s healthy, and it’s really nice to tell people that,” Bishop said.

Brushing our teeth is part of our daily routine so why shouldn’t it be the same for our pets? If you care about your little fluff ball, then you should know that its general state of health is directly related to its oral health.

And when it comes to a pet’s teeth, prevention is always the best option.

According to the results of a study on this subject, barely 1 percent of pet owners brush their animals’ teeth at least three times a week, even though veterinarians highly recommend the practice. The American Veterinary Medical Association’s National Pet Dental Health Month, which takes place in February every year, is the ideal time to start following this recommendation.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE

Periodontal disease is the most common infectious disease in pets. It results from an infection due to an accumulation of plaque, which contains large amounts of bacteria. When it accumulates and begins to harden, plaque forms tarter.

WARNING SIGNS

Does your animal have a dental disease?

Check for the following signs and symptoms: • bad breath, also known as halitosis—of course, most animals don’t exactly have what we would call “fresh” breath, but if their breath becomes truly offensive it could be a sign of periodontal disease • a tendency to rub the face or mouth • a reluctance to eat hard foods • a swelling of the gums along with reddish-brown • stains on the teeth Be sure to consult your veterinarian if one or more of these symptoms appear. A vet will be able to diagnose the problem, carry out any necessary treatment, and give you some tips in order to improve your pet’s dental hygiene.

NWPRD is governed by an elected Board of 5 Commissioners who volunteer their time and serve terms of four years. Monthly meetings are held according to a pre-approved annual schedule and generally happen on the third Thursday of every month at the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool, 85 SE Jerome St., Oak Harbor WA 98277.

Friends mourn loss of community leader, Paul Schell Death of former Seattle mayor was unexpected

By JUSTIN BURNETT Whidbey News Group

South Whidbey is mourning the death of a long-time community and business leader this week.

Langley resident Paul Schell died unexpectedly Sunday morning after complications arose from an earlier surgery.

He was 76.

“It’s a very sad piece of news for Langley,” Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy said.

“I can’t think of a lot of people who have had a more profound effect on this city.”

Schell, a former Seattle mayor, had a home in Langley for more than 30 years. The owner of two city inns, he was a well-known business leader and stalwart advocate of the arts.

His death hit the tiny South Whidbey community hard.

“It’s palpable — you can feel the sadness,” McCarthy said.

“For Langley, this an utterly profound loss,” said Sharen Heath, who runs the Facebook page I Love Langley.

Peter Miller, a Langley resident and family friend for nearly 40 years, said Schell died at about 6:30 a.m. He had a quadruple bypass heart surgery this past Wednesday and developed complications.

“At first he seemed fine, but it never settled,” Miller said.

He described Schell as a man who loved all of Puget

Sound, but Langley in particular. Schell was devoted to the town’s success at all levels, he said.

“He wanted the town to work, he wanted the shops to work, he wanted the movie theater to work — he just loved Langley,” Miller said.

Schell was a mover and shaker in many areas of the city. He made his mark in business with the development of the Inn at Langley and the Boatyard Inn, but also built office space on Second Street in the 1980s, a time when there wasn’t too much there, according to Ann Medlock, founder of the Giraffe Heroes Project.

“Paul walked into our office and said, ‘This is worse than public television — you need a bigger space.’”

The blue giraffe building he constructed still houses the Giraffe Heroes Project upstairs — the Braeburn and Gregor Rare Books are located on the first floor. Medlock said she is relieved Schell got to attend the Second Street reopening earlier this month because in a way the road’s revitalization began with him years ago.

“Now it’s [Second Street] just blooming, and he started it,” Medlock said.

Schell also played a key role in the founding of Whidbey Island Center for the Arts. Exectutive Director Stacie Burgua said both he and his wife, Pam — a current member of the board of directors — worked tirelessly on the initial 1990s capital campaign to form the organization, along with a more

“Where didn’t he have an impact? Langley will never be the same without him.”

Stacie Burgua, Director of Whidbey Island Center for the Arts

Paul Schell served as Seattle mayor. recent effort in 2007.

“It just wouldn’t have happened without them,” Burgua said.

In an email to fellow WICA board members Sunday, chairman and South Whidbey businessman George Henny wrote, “Paul passed away this morning, and leaves an enormous hole in our hearts, lives and community.

“Paul has been an incredible, dynamic visionary and positive force in our community, and a steadfast supporter and ambassador for Whidbey Island Center for

the Arts.”

According to Burgua, Schell had an impact on so many people, and was so involved in the city’s development that’s it hard to quantify the loss.

“Where didn’t he have an impact?” Burgua said.

“Langley will never be the same without him.”

Schell’s life extended beyond South Whidbey, however, so much so that his death was announced to the world publicly by Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, sparking a plethora of print and broad-

cast stories by regional and national media outlets.

“Schell will be remembered as one of the great city builders of the Pacific Northwest,” said Murray, in a news release. “As a citizen activist, lawyer, director of community development, port commissioner, dean of architecture and mayor, he directly shaped the civic infrastructure of Seattle for more than 40 years.”

Schell wore many hats for the city, the most notable of which was as mayor from 1998-2002. According to Murray’s release, the infrastructure Schell built and influenced were his greatest professional accomplishments. He led a $196 million Libraries for All campaign, a $198 million levy for parks and the zoo, a $72 million effort of public and private funds to rebuild the opera house, and was instrumental in building the Olympic Sculpture Park, and Seattle’s City Hall and Justice Center, the news release said.

Schell, Seattle’s 50th mayor, saw difficulties in office as well, from the 1999 riots of the World Trade Organization conference to the departure of The Boeing Co.’s headquarters to Chicago. Schell ran for a second term but lost in a primary race.

Retiring from politics,

Schell turned his attention to Langley. Starting a successful business, fostering development on Second Street and working to found WICA, an organization that in some ways has come to define Langley, Schell was involved in it all. Most recently, he was in the midst of partnering with the city on an elevator project to shuttle people from Cascade Avenue to the marina on Wharf Street.

Sue Frause, a Langley resident of nearly 40 years and a long-time friend of the Schell family, said in email to The South Whidbey Record that Schell simply loved the Village by the Sea. He and his wife bought a house in town decades ago and that passion never subsided.

From opening the inns to his influence on Second Street, Schell wanted the city to thrive and be a welcoming place for both locals and visitors alike, Frause wrote.

Schell and his wife planned to grow old here, surrounded by friends and a hometown he had given so much to, especially WICA, but it wasn’t to be.

“Sadly, his golden years were cut short, but the community is far richer because of Paul Schell,” Frause said.

Schell is survived by his wife of 51 years, Pam, and his daughter Jamie.

Councilman’s son continues to struggle with addiction Brent Severns faces a dozen criminal charges

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Success in business or politics isn’t an inoculation from the impact of drug addiction in a family.

Oak Harbor City Councilman Bob Severns, former manager of a title company and a member of the Whidbey Island Bank board, knows this all too well.

Severns said his son, Brent Severns, has battled drug addiction, particularly methamphetamine addiction, for the past 20 years. He sent him through rehab several times.

“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t pray that we can find a solution,” he said, “or that he can find a solution.

“The answer really needs to come from him.”

Bob Severns said he made it clear to his son that he won’t support him as long as he is using; he said he tried to explain the decision to him “in so many ways.” He said he can’t condone any harm his son may have caused to others as a result of his drug use.

Brent Severns spent the past six months homeless, but is currently being held in jail and faces 12 felony charges, according to his father.

Three years ago, Brent Severns was in Drug Court, a program that allows peo-

ple who commit nonviolent, drug-related offenses to forego lengthy sentences by abiding by a strict regiment of supervision, treatment and testing.

He flunked after he sold meth to an undercover police informant, however. He pleaded guilty to “maintaining premises for using controlled substance” and was sentenced to a year and two months in prison.

At the time, Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock noted the difficulty of overcoming “the demon of addiction” and encouraged Severns to seek treatment in prison.

Oak Harbor police started looking for him in May when they suspected that he had opened a credit card in his

mother’s name without her knowledge and then used the card to purchase items, court documents state.

The police said they found Brent Severns sleeping inside a storage shed on property owned by his father.

Bob Severns asked to have his son “trespassed” from the property, according to the report written by an Oak Harbor police detective.

Then, on June 28, a Southeast Barrington Drive resident reported that her checkbook, debit card and driver’s license were stolen from her truck. The woman said her bank notified her that someone used the card at Safeway.

Police officer Chris Peabody obtained a surveillance video from the grocery

store. Peabody said in his report that he believed the person who could be seen using the card appeared to be Brent Severns.

A Safeway employee reported to police on July 7 that the suspect, later identified as Severns, was in the store and was denied the use of a check, the report states.

Peabody arrested Severns outside the store for alleged possession of stolen property.

Severns allegedly was carrying forged checks, a woman’s driver’s license, three checkbooks belonging to other people, a woman’s Macy’s card and various papers, Peabody said in his report.

Brent Severns pleaded not guilty last week to three counts of identify theft, five

counts of possession of stolen property in the second degree and four counts of forgery.

Judge Hancock set bail for Brent Severns at $50,000 on July 7.

If convicted on the charges against him, he could face up to seven years in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Brent Severns’ attorney didn’t return a call for comment.

As for his father, Bob Severns said he’s shared the story of his son’s struggles with a lot of people and is surprised by how many of them have similar stories.

“There are more problems in more families in more neighborhoods than many people understand,” he said.

China City expands to location off island

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Jack Ng started in the restaurant business as a dishwasher.

Today, he’s the coowner of China City’s two Whidbey Island locations in Freeland and Oak Harbor, and an off-island location, which opened in Mill Creek in July.

“We just work hard and focus on chasing the dream,” Ng said. “One dream at a time.”

Ng said he has been looking in the Mill Creek area for a third location for a while now because it’s a new, youthful, fast-growing area.

Ng’s wife and partner, Angela Vosburg, trained 40 employees in June at their Freeland location in preparation for their Mill Creek location’s opening a few weeks ago. She has since spent much of her time with the new staff off-island.

Ng said they tried to open quietly and get their staff up to speed, but they were on the go from day one.

“It’s been pretty busy,” Ng said. “We haven’t even advertised. It’s more than we can handle.”

Luckily, the new staff “all turned out really good,” Ng said.

Ng, a trained chef, has been spending more time in the kitchen since he has had to send island cooks to Mill Creek to help with the influx of new business.

Ng started his chain in 1999 in the Old Town Mall on Pioneer Way and has since moved twice before it arrived at its current Oak Harbor location.

A couple years later, the Freeland location opened.

The project truly was a family affair, Vosburg said, adding that her husband’s four siblings worked as wait staff.

location mirror, the two Whidbey Island locations with heated patio seating, landscaping, rock work with imported stones, lounges and dining areas.

But the restaurant is still geared toward the casual family-dining experience.

“We just want people to enjoy their experience,” Vosburg said.

The “destination” type atmosphere Ng strives for is just part of the business.

“It’s not just about food anymore,” Ng said. “A lot of people want to go out and socialize.”

In both Oak Harbor and Freeland, China City is known for its creative Chinese cuisine as much for being a place to meet for lunch, drinks or conversation.

The Mill Creek location, part of a quaint central business district at 15402 Main Street, is something he’s always wanted to build, Ng said.

His next big project?

“I want to take a break,” Ng said. n Find out more about China City at www.chinaci tyrestaurant.com Reach

Admiralty anchor arrives in Texas Researchers want to know if it is from Vancouver’s expedition

By Joe Smillie Peninsula Daily News

Researchers at Texas A&M University are now examining an anchor recovered from Admiralty Inlet last month to see if it is, as believed by those who recovered it, the anchor that broke off a ship in Capt. George Vancouver’s Discovery expedition June 9, 1792.

“It is a classic admiraltypatterned anchor,” said Jim Jobling, Texas A&M Nautical Archaeology Conservation lab manager.

“I feel fairly favorable this could have come from the Chatham.”

Doug Monk, a commercial diver from Port Angeles, and Scott Grimm, a medical device salesman and amateur historian from Seattle, delivered the anchor to Jobling and his team of

researchers Monday morning.

Monk discovered the anchor when his airhose snagged on it while diving for sea cucumbers off Whidbey Island’s west coast in 2008.

A dive team pulled the 900-pound anchor up from Admiralty Inlet off the coast of Whidbey Island and brought it back to Port Townsend on June 9.

It stayed at the Northwest Maritime Center for two weeks while it was prepped for the trip to Texas and drew large crowds while on display there.

Jobling’s job now, said Grimm, is to prove the anchor is the one that log books from Vancouver’s expedition report was torn from the HMS Chatham by a quickly changing tide in the early morning darkness of June 9, 1792.

“We just have to let him go to work and prove we’re right, now,” Grimm said.

For decades, experts have believed the anchor that broke off the Chatham, companion to Vancouver’s HMS Discovery, was carried into Bellingham Channel.

The Chatham and the

Discovery explored the North American west coast for four years beginning in 1791.

“This has got many, many interesting facets for us,” Jobling said.

“Whether it’s Vancouver’s or not, we may never be able to tell for sure. But it’s still a fascinating piece of European exploration.”

Grimm and Monk left Seattle with the anchor loaded in the tank built by Port of Port Townsend workers and placed on the back of a flatbed truck.

They put the tank atop old tires to absorb possible road shocks, used soaker hoses to keep the anchor wet during the trip and topped it all with a tarp.

“It kind of looked like that truck off the ‘Beverly Hillbillies,’” Grimm said.

Over the next 18 months to two years, Jobling and his students will apply corrosive chemicals, acids and even electricity to the anchor to rid it of the accretion that built up while the anchor sat on the floor of Admiralty Inlet.

He hopes they will find markings on the bottom crown of the anchor that will identify it as a piece of royal

&

navy equipment, though he noted that doesn’t always happen.

“In the early days, the makers often didn’t put their names on the anchor.

Because if it failed, then their name’s sitting on it, and no one wants to buy an anchor from them again,” Jobling said.

For Grimm, however, the case was closed long before the anchor was pulled up in the years he spent researching the anchor and English patent law and chain design.

“To me, it’s so far beyond a question, I don’t even think about it,” Grimm said.

“This is the anchor.“

I had a total knee replacement on June 23 at Island Hospital. Three days later, my orthopedic surgeon from Skagit Northwest Orthopedics released me for rehab services before I went home.

Even though I live in Oak Harbor, I chose to go to Fidalgo Rehab Center in Anacortes because a family member had been a patient and had a positive experience. I have worked as an in-home caregiver, providing one-on-one care and also as part of a care team in nursing homes. I can’t be more pleased of the nursing staff at Fidalgo Rehab Center. The caregivers were very well trained in their jobs, they were all professional with sweet personalities. Overall the entire staff treated the patients with compassion and respect.

There was always plenty of good food available. My family and I were pleasantly surprised when they were invited to stay for dinner during their visit. The care team set us up in the patio and served a delicious meal. My 10-year-old granddaughter thought that was neat.

The physical therapy and occupational therapy team were great. I worked with them twice a day and was feeling ready to go home in less than a week. I did have to reach some goals before we were confident that I could go home.

Twelve days after my surgery I had a follow up visit with Skagit Northwest Orthopedics.

My Doctor was so impressed with my progress that he released me to go home the next day.

I feel that my mobility improved and incision healed very quickly because of the wonderful care I received at Fidalgo Rehab Center. ~Loretta Vogt and her husband, Bob

Demand accountability before things go wrong PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

By KEVEN R. GRAVES

Each and every one of us bears some responsibility for the financial calamity that has befallen Island Transit.

There are critics of IT who’ve remarked to me that they saw this disaster coming for years, like a train wreck happening in slow motion.

Whidbey’s transit system, however, was widely held as a shining beacon of how successful fare-free bus service could be. State and local lawmakers lauded it as a well-oiled engine. In some ways, Island Transit became untouchable — to ask questions was sacrosanct.

Employees of IT emailed the newspaper their anonymous tips, but all were too afraid to speak on the record for fear of retribution and losing their jobs.

A couple of citizens told me they faithfully attended IT’s board meetings for years and asked tough questions, but that any concerns raised were marginalized and hushed by the IT’s many supporters.

Over my 25-plus–year career in newspapers, I’ve seen how the accountability of taxpayer-funded agencies eroded as open government laws weakened and citizens became increasingly apathetic.

While open government laws were designed to protect the people, it seems at times the people don’t want to be protected. If the media presses for information, or files a public records request, it’s criticized as a burden that costs government employees time and taxpayers money.

Now more than ever, newspaper reporters get a runaround when public information requests are filed. In response to one recent request, a large taxpayer-funded agency responded that the newspaper can expect to wait six weeks for a response.

Government agencies are increasingly enabled to make costly decisions outside the prying eyes of the public and the media. Some boards set their meetings at times that aren’t convenient for anyone but themselves. There are grumbles, but nothing is changed.

Even if meetings are held at convenient times, there’s usually nary more than a reporter in the room. Attending government meetings is up there with watching paint dry.

When something goes awry, or a scandal erupts, though, there’s suddenly blame and a call for heads to roll.

Yes, well-paid public servants like Martha Rose must be held accountable when money is mismanaged. At the same time, citizens need to reclaim ownership of their taxpayer-funded agencies, attend meetings, ask hard questions and push for tougher open records laws that don’t allow agencies to drag their heels and play games.

Take back your voice and demand greater accountability of government employees before things start going wrong.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Island Transit

Days of crying ‘wolf’ for bailouts are over Editor, The article on the perils of Island Transit was a good lesson in a government entity that believes itself to be indispensable, so it just continues to cry “wolf,” believing the taxpayers will bail them out with no question asked.

I attended every meeting from October 2008 to March 2010.

Board member Bob Clay has suggested that he did not see any financial reports. I suppose the expenditure reports I saw at each meeting, and that the board approved with little fanfare, were a figment of my imagination.

If these expenditure reports disappeared after Barbara Savary came onboard, why was it not questioned?

Sandra Kuykendall, the old/new finance manager, said, “We have always been very healthy and frugal. When other transit agencies cut services during the recession, we did not have any problems.”

Hopefully the public will remember that, in 2009, when she was running the levy meetings, she stated that if the levy

failed, Island Transit would have to cut services drastically.

So yes, Kuykendall, the wheels kept turning. But if you want to be honest, tell the public that the additional $1.8 to $2.5 million that went into the Island Transit coffers after the levy passed kept them running.

After the levy passed, one of Martha Rose’s first orders of business was to expand Island Transit service off island.

She even had then–state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen giving a thumbs up to the “Island Jewel” expansion.

The public needs to ask the hard question of why fares are not collected.

The old, outdated shouting-from-therooftop statement that it costs more to collect the money than they would receive needs to be put to rest.

The only reason they do not collect a fee is a simple one — the very bloated passenger numbers they depended on to get state and federal funding, which is being reduced, would dry up completely. They would have to confirm passenger numbers to incoming revenue.

This would be a death knell for the empire building but would, I believe, make Island Transit as healthy and viable as it was in the beginning.

Jim Pace Oak Harbor

Board should fire Rose, then fire themselves Editor, Regarding Island Transit’s surprise discovery that it must lay off 24 employees and cancel bus service on five routes: Since Island Transit cannot sustain maintenance and operations via a dedicated 9/10th of 1 percent of public sales taxes, the public deserves to be heard as to whether or not Island Transit should be dissolved and its affairs liquidated, thus reducing local sales taxes by 9/10th of 1 percent.

Island Transit’s business model is based solely on an entirely fare-free system in which collection of rider fares in smaller or rural areas such as ours generates virtually no usable revenue.

Island Transit’s perennial funding problems cannot be fixed by charging ridership fares.

Island Transit’s current PTBA, Councilmen Bob Clay, of Coupeville, Jim Sundberg, of Langley, Jim Campbell, of Oak Harbor, and Island County Commissioner Helen PriceSEE BURNETT, A7

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6

Johnson, should fire Martha Rose, hire a new interim director, pass a resolution that would place before the voters the question as whether or not to dissolve and liquidate Island Transit, and then themselves resign their positions as overseers of Island Transit.

I urge our elected officials in Coupeville, Langley, Oak Harbor and Island County to appoint an entirely new PTBA to replace the elected officials currently charged with oversight of Island Transit.

Public oversight of Island Transit is a joke. Elected officials charged with doing so instead simply let Rose do whatever she wants, but the situation is much worse than even I had concluded.

The business model is a perennial failure.

William Burnett Oak Harbor

Don’t let county go down same transit route Editor, Island County taxpayers must consider recent revelations about the losses of investment funds during the current treasurer’s term in office when casting their ballots.

Our county needs a treasurer who understands investment strategy thoroughly and can ensure county residents that their tax payments are wisely invested to result in maximum gain without undue risk in both good times and bad.

That person is Wanda Grone.

The incumbent treasurer has a poor track record, and the third candidate for the office freely admits that she has no experience and would rely on an investment firm for direction as the incumbent has done.

Taxpayers need someone who has the required experience and can make wise decisions from the first day in office.

My questions include: Why were our elected commissioners not aware of the losses earlier? How did years pass without proper monthly reports that would have given them fair warning? Where does responsibility begin and end for keeping an eye on taxpayer’s money?

One has only to look at the recently reported problems of Island Transit to see yet another example of inexperienced or unqualified manage-

ment decision making and lack of executive oversight of financial processes.

Don’t let a similar situation develop at the county level – make informed voting choices.

Jean Salls Coupeville

IT should ensure paratransit safe from service cuts Editor, Martha Rose must be terminated. She is ultimately responsible for Island Transit’s financial crisis and the resulting reductions in bus services.

Service reductions should not affect paratransit users.

Island Transit receives state and federal transportation funds to cover the costs of community access via paratransit services for our elderly and disabled citizens.

Those transportation services are directed and funded, by law.

To reduce these services will only compound Island Transit’s financial problems.

Paratransit existed years before Island Transit was formed; Island County Senior Services managed federal and state funds for the county’s transportation services for seniors and other paratransit-qualified riders.

Island Transit assumed this responsibility from the county. It was their first order of priority for services, and we need to assure paratransit riders that it will remain so.

Gerry Yakovleff Oak Harbor

Transit helped pro-OLF voice get to courthouse Editor, Just read the article, “With reserves gone, Island Transit axing staff, routes” about the Island Transit financial meltdown.

I do hope blame is doled out to the Island Transit board and state Auditor’s Office for ineptly watchdogging Island Transit. Clearly, I am very concerned for the future of Island Transit.

However, as one of the defenders of America’s OLF Coupeville, I salute the Island Transit drivers, maintainers and dispatchers who provided a modern-day AlaskaSiberia Air Route for OLF’s defense.

Without Island Transit,

whidbey improv team

it would have been financially and physically impossible for me to stick up for America’s VAQ Wing five times in Whidbey’s “belly of the beast” that is the Island County Commissioners’ chamber.

By providing that voice for OLF, OLF Coupeville remained open and morale was hopefully kept up for NAS Whidbey when so many refused to publicly recognize the dangers at hand.

I would certainly also happily pay a transit fare to enjoy the patriotic triumph that is OLF Coupeville today — especially to celebrate the arrival of more EA-18Gs and resulting inbound APZs to OLF. I just hope Island Transit will rebound instead of continue its descent, although that seems bordering on unlikely without decisive state and federal government intervention.

But I believe fellow Americans seeking compensation from disclosure deception in Central Whidbey to evacuate rank higher on the priority list.

Joe Kunzler Sedro-Woolley

How did state auditors find nothing amiss?

Editor, Regarding the Island Transit scandal involving financial mismanagement, taxpayers should be outraged.

Executive Director Martha Rose should be sacked.

Thanks to her, as many as 22 percent of her employees will lose their jobs.

In addition, the Island Transit board of directors should be humbled for failing in their oversight of the system. Taxpayers certainly deserve better when public employees are entrusted with tax dollars.

Also, it’s a mystery how annual state audits found nothing wrong with the operation of the bus system.

I wonder if, and when, those audits were published for public enlightenment?

One last observation.:It may feel good to say we have “free” bus service on Whidbey Island, but lots of folks shake their heads in disbelief when they so often see mostly empty buses on our roads. The exception, of course, would be the Boeing workers who catch the bus at the Clinton ferry.

Overall, though, one has

to wonder about the cost per mile for each rider. Wouldn’t it be interesting if that statistic were highlighted on the next audit of Island Transit?

David Howe Greenbank

Ordinance

Don’t squander our own little bit of paradise Editor, It has come to my attention that the Board of Island County Commissioners is considering a revision of the critical areas ordinance prohibiting the establishment of “through-put utilities” in “critical areas” in Island County that would allow such utilities to be established.

Considering the historic losses of critical area habitats throughout the greater Puget Sound area and particularly within Island County, I would be greatly disappointed and distressed if the prohibition of the construction of such utilities within Island County was to be vacated, thus removing the one certain impediment to the destruction and loss of critical area habitat we have managed to preserve until now.

May I remind you that a cornerstone of Island County’s economy is the attractiveness of its natural environment, scenic vistas and pastoral settings that draws thousands of tourists and permanent residents who contribute significantly to our county’s tax base.

It is the quality of life, all life, that is most appreciated by our residents and visitors.

We should not squander the little bit of paradise we have left so that out-of-county and multinational energy companies can grow their profits at our expense.

Please continue the ban on “through-put utilities” and preserve our few remaining “critical areas” for the benefit of all of Island County communities and visitors.

Vern Pederson Oak Harbor

Generous

Restaurateur shows his true generosity Editor, I was recently reminded, through a stunning demon-

stration of generosity, how fortunate we are to be part of such a caring community.

Thursday afternoon I walked into Ciao in Coupeville. Owner Mark Laska was busy cranking out pizzas. He shared that he had heard several helicopters and he just knew something was up at the hospital’s Emergency Department.

I was amazed to watch him box up several pizzas and run out the door to deliver them to hospital staff. His words, “I know they are busy, and when things quiet down, these will be waiting for them.”

Thanks, Mark. You are kind, you are generous and you are classic Coupeville.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT June 14, 2014, in Coupeville, Wash., at the age of 98.

Ginger was born in San Diego on July 3, 1915, to Oscar and Nellie Thomas.

During her growing-up years, she was an avid roller skater and a cheerleader at Point Loma High School, where she graduated in 1934.

In 1937, Ginger met and married her husband, Paul Fournier.

Thus began a career as a Navy wife traveling to an assortment of duty stations, including Vallejo, Calif., where daughter Pauline was born; New Jersey; Texas; California; Virginia; New York; Philadelphia, Pa., where daughter Suzie was born; Washington state; and finally back to Ocean Beach, Calif., in 1953.

In 2011 she moved to Oak Harbor, Wash., to be near her daughter, Suzie Long.

In May 1954, Paul was killed in an explosion aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bennington, leaving Ginger to raise their two daughters.

Ginger was a Brownie and Girl Scout leader and a volunteer at the Ocean Beach Recreation Center.

She organized many parades, Halloween carnivals and campouts.

In typical Girl Scout fashion, she instructed her scouts on how to dig latrines, build outdoor showers and cook out of tuna cans on Bunsen burners and candles.

Ginger was a 50-year member and “Good Sport” of the San Diego Indoor Sports Club, an organization to help physically challenged individuals.

Ginger was also a member of the San Diego Clown Club and a good bowler.

She was fun-loving, kind, fun to be around and a generous person all her life.

Ginger is survived by her two daughters, Pauline Breeding of San Diego and Suzie (Jay) Long of Oak Harbor. Also surviving are five grandchildren, 13 greatgrandchildren and five greatgreat-grandchildren.

Services for Ginger will be held in San Diego.

Check-in is at 7:30 a.m. at Seawall Park in Langley.

Swimmers have a choice between the 1.2-mile and 2.4-mile courses.

Registration costs $45 until July 31, and includes the official race cap.

Jeff Jacobsen, in white cap, competes in a past open-water race. The South Whidbey Island Masters swimmer will take part in the Whidbey Adventure Swim. either four laps or eight ---- 1.2 miles or 2.4 miles ---- is new this year. It was designed to stay closer to shallow water, allowing racers to see the seafloor as they splash past one another in a triangle.

“If somebody needs to stop, they can stand,” said race director Emily Weinheimer, adding that at its most shallow, the water will be about 4

feet deep.

Only 50 people can sign up for the swim, which has had the course record set each year. The participant limitation was necessary to keep the open water just that ---- open. Unless a swimmer signs a waiver saying he or she is capable of taking on the frigid water of Saratoga Passage with just skin, they

are required to wear a wetsuit.

In addition to needing a U.S. Masters Swimming membership or one-day permit, racers will need a steely calm as tranquil as the water’s surface.

Racing in open water is different from pool races in one major way. There are no lanes, so everybody thrashes

and kicks and reaches into the same area at the start. It’s also different because without lanes, the swimmers’ trajectory is far from an efficient straight line. They bow out and in from buoy to buoy.

“It takes some getting used to,” said Jeff Jacobsen, a member of South Whidbey Island Masters, who will race in the Adventure Swim.

Each year, a course record has been set. The current best times are 27:58 and 29:50 for the men’s and women’s 1.2-mile course and 51:40 and 1:00:12 in the 2.4-mile race.

A high tide of about 8.2 feet is predicted by 10 a.m. the day of the race.

Sailors come back year after year for Race Week

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

The first racing day of Whidbey Island Race Week launched with little fanfare, but it ended Friday after a week of great racing despite wetter-than-normal conditions.

Monday, July 21, lacked the wind-power to make racing possible, but it didn’t stop the crews with approximately 80 sailboats enjoying the waters of Penn Cove and Oak Harbor Bay. “Some days are like that,” said race organizer Gary Stuntz. “We’re looking forward to more breeze throughout the rest of the week.”

Even though no racing took place that day, people still gathered along the shores of Whidbey to watch the sailboats.

“I’m a little disappointed there isn’t more wind and that their really pretty, colorful sails aren’t all up, but you know, it’s really peaceful to watch them bob along, even though there’s no wind,” said part-time Coupeville resident Michele Buttelman.

While first two days of the had very little wind and there was record rainfall during the week, the rest of the regatta was marked by competitive racing as well as after-racing fun, Stuntz said.

Race Week is the only week-long sailboat racing event in the region, according to Stuntz.

With no wind on July 21, no racing was done, but teams still stayed out on the water for hours to enjoy the sunny day.

The event was started 32 years ago. Stuntz has run it for seven years, but this is his final year as owner.

“It’s an event I love and care about and have a lot of passion for,” he said.

Stuntz said he’s been a participant for 31 out of the 32 years. When he was in charge, among his favorite event activities are the evening parties, which are held 6-8 p.m. throughout the week at the Oak Harbor Marina.

“I’m throwing a party for a few hundred friends,” he said. “Whether I know them

or not, it’s just a great party.”

With live music and plenty of rum flowing, participants of Race Week flocked to the party after docking their boats for the evening.

“I love the event, and I love what it is, and I enjoy the camaraderie, and I just have passion,” Stuntz said. “I want to make sure that quality sailing is happening and enjoyable.”

Steve Duncan agreed.

“Everybody sort of helps each other. Everybody’s in it together, but it’s still competitive. It’s very civil,” said Duncan, a crewman on the sailboat “Usawi,” which competed in this year’s Race Week.

The crew of the Usawi, which usually numbers five

people, had a sixth crew member in owner Robert Blaylock’s 8-year-old son, Clayton.

With the exception of Blaylock’s son, the entire crew has participated in the event for a number of years, Duncan said, but added this is only his second year crewing the Usawi.

This is Duncan’s 10th year participating in Race Week.

“It’s a great venue, it’s well organized, the town does a great job of welcoming everybody up here,” he said.

“They’re really accommodating. It’s an easy place to get to, and it’s an easy place to be once you’re here.”

Duncan said he has raced sailboats for about 15 years and describes it as more

“intense” than pleasure sailing.

“Just so many things appeal to you,” he said. “It’s athletic, it’s challenging, it’s competitive. You learn something new every time you go out.”

Paul Carter, a member of the crew on the sailboat “Shrek,” said his favorite part of Race Week is having the opportunity to race every day.

Carter said he has sailed for 40 years and “pretty much started out” racing.

The Shrek crew has participated in Race Week for 20-25 years, according to Carter.

“It’s a lot of fun to come up in the middle of summer,” Carter said. “Penn Cove is an awesome place to sail, and you get big groups of really good sailors up here, so it’s

good, fun competition.”

Stuntz said that about 78 boats participated, with teams from two provinces in Canada, California, Montana, Idaho, Arizona, Michigan and, of course, Washington.

“They come from far and wide,” he said.

Even landlubbers look forward to Race Week each year.

“It’s a great event to watch from the beach,” Stuntz said.

“Most days, we sail Penn Cove, and whether you watch from the Oak Harbor side on the beach or over at the Coupeville Dock, it’s a great place to watch.”

“It’s just an awesome experience,” Carter said. “Great fun.”

Whidbey residents want beaver controls

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Some residents believe the county could be doing more about the island’s beaver problem, but the solutions are not always clear cut.

“It’s always been an issue, and no one really addresses it,” said Karen Krug, owner of the Spoiled Dog Winery farm near Maxwelton Creek.

At a recent public hearing on the county’s Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas update, Krug suggested to county commissioners that they make it an obligation for people to manage the beavers on their property.

The county’s lack of enforcement on beaver control creates a risk for the people downstream if a dam breaches and for those upstream as areas flood and overtake valuable farmland, Krug said.

Some cases are extreme, such as that of the Long Family Farm on Ewing Road, which is located within the Maxwelton Valley.

Beavers are believed partially responsible for the flooding of more than 40 acres of summer pasture.

“We’ve been farming it for 100 years, and it’s always been bone dry,” farm owner Leland Long said.

The flooding may also be the result of unmaintained drainage ditches on other people’s property through the valley, he said. The area was drained for agricultural use by his grandfather in 1912.

Connie Bowers, Island County public works deputy director, said the county deals with occasional conflicts with beavers but not often.

“Our approach has differed depending on the site conditions and situation,” Bowers said.

In some cases, the county has relocated beavers that were living in a construction area or installed “beaver deceivers,” which allow the water to flow through without disturbing the beavers or their

A beaver lodge sits at the southern edge of Miller Lake, about 30 yards from a beaver dam. Lake levels are on the rise, and along with other impacts, are raising concern among South Whidbey residents. dam. In another instance, the county installed an overflow culvert, which limits water build-up in areas that tend to flood.

Krug said that it seems like the county doesn’t care or is ignoring the “abnormal amount of beavers in Maxwelton Valley and Glendale.”

“I’m not trying to eradicate the beavers,” Krug said. “But we need

to manage them when they’re causing a problem.”

Krug said that without proactive measures, the county could experience another beaver-related disaster like the one in Glendale in 2009. After a beaver was killed, its upstream dam was no longer maintained, a culvert was clogged and the water eventually broke through, causing a mudslide that

roared into the tiny waterfront community, severely damaging a number of homes and buildings.

Glendale resident Lorinda Kay said her home was rendered unlivable for three months after floodwaters entered her home and debris broke water lines.

“The neighborhood was surrounded in muck,” Kay said.

With the dam gone, however,

Page A11

those Glendale residents are at far less risk for flooding than they were before, Kay said. Now the creek is wide open and there’s no place for the debris to get caught, Kay said.

But she can see both the need to work with the beavers and also to prevent future disasters.

“When there’s nature and people, you have to come up with solutions,” Kay said.

In some cases, however, beavers have won friends. A population at Miller Lake is credited with vastly expanding the lake, but also creating water views. For Bob Olin, the edge of his backyard that borders the lake was once dominated by poplar and willow trees. They are all now long gone.

“There were 10,000 of them right out there,” Olin said, motioning to his backyard.

“No, I’m quite happy with the beaver,” he added.

Jamie Hartley, critical areas planner for Island County, said county code defers to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for its guidelines. The state allows residents to shoot or relocate beavers as a last resort to other types of mitigations, including the installation of culverts or beaver deceivers.

Steve Erickson, with the Whidbey Environmental Action Network, said that shooting or trapping the occasional beaver is not going to really impact the population. However, farmers need to learn to deal with changing conditions and coexist with the beaver population.

“The idea of a pretty farm where it’s all static and never going to change is a fantasy,” Erickson said. “People are going to need to change the way they are dealing with nature and work with it.” n For more information on state beaver guidelines, visit www. wdfw.wa.gov/living/beavers.html

Last class to graduate from old high school reaches milestone

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

The class of 1974 was the last to graduate from the old Oak Harbor High School.

Forty years later, the class gathering in Oak Harbor for their reunion.

Reunion chairwoman Mary Davis said that this reunion is special because the class has reached its 40-year milestone, and so this gathering is a “fun, nostalgic way to look back at the school.”

The reunion, set for Aug. 15-16, will include organized events that will be spread out over those two days and cost attendees $96 for both nights.

Registration deadline for the event is Aug. 13.

On Friday, there will be a Madrigal reunion, including the 1974 director, Vernon Greenstreet. This reunion will take place at 3:30 p.m. at the Oak harbor Lutheran Church and will be free to reunion attendees. The Madrigals also extend a welcome to members of the 1971-76 Madrigals.

“They performed in competition with other schools out there, and they just performed for the community and the school,” Davis said.

“And they were really good.

“I still sing the songs that they would sing.”

Also on Friday will be a barbecue social with 1974 classmate Barb Henry deejaying. This event is 6-10 p.m. at Oak Harbor Tavern and includes a barbecue buffet and cash bar.

On Saturday, a golf outing starts at 10:30 a.m. at the Whidbey Golf and Country Club, organized by classmate Gary DeMille.

Cost for the tournament is $40, and there will be prizes for “closest to the pin” and “longest male and female drives.” To register for the tournament, email DeMille at 78coup@comcast.net Saturday evening, the main reunion event is 6-11

p.m. at the Whidbey Golf and Country Club. It will include dancing to Einstein’s Relatives Band, a buffet and a cash bar.

“The personal interaction, the social interaction you enjoyed in school, to be able to have it now is very rewarding,” Davis said.

“It was a great group of students,” she said. “We would just love everybody to join us and have some more fun.” n To register for the reunion or to submit a biography of a 1974 classmate for free, visit www.

PBY-Naval Air Museum meets wide approval at grand opening

By RON NEWBERRY

New location

Steve Richards, executive officer of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, was clearly enjoying himself as he sat in the cockpit of a seaplane simulator.

Richards joined base commander Mike Nortier and other top brass from the nearby naval air station at the grand opening of the PBY-Naval Air Museum at its new location on Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor Friday afternoon.

Following an outdoor ceremony that involved several short speeches and honored volunteers, a large gathering made its way indoors to see the exhibits that have been constructed over the past few months since the museum’s move from the Seaplane Base to the new site inside the former Whidbey Furniture building.

Richards, a P-3 pilot, didn’t take long to find the simulators inside the Adolph “Mickey” Meisch room and plant himself in a seat.

As he took the controls of a PBY and glided over Oak Harbor on a large color screen, he was about to attempt a water landing when a thought occurred to him.

“Are the flaps up?” he said to George Love, the museum’s technology expert who was standing nearby.

“No flaps on the PBY,” Love said. “It’s just landing gear and floats.”

The two simulators, programmed to fly several dif-

ferent types of aircraft, were among the biggest attractions in the museum on a day when about 80 people came for the grand opening.

Some were drawn to other exhibits that evoked a memory or simple curiosity.

Displays included a nose turret from a PBY that invited visitors of all ages to crawl inside.

“Actually, I see more fathers in there,” said Richard Rezabek, chairman of the PBY Memorial Foundation board. “Same with the simulators. It’s typical.”

The museum also features an exhibit that commemorates Navy chaplains. There also are wartime artifacts, including two Japanese rifles with bayonets from World War II. “These were made by the Imperial Army,” Rezabek said. “Unfortunately, the emblems for the army were scratched off.”

Nortier seemed captivated

“He was supposed to be in and out,” Rezabek said of Nortier. “But he was there for over two hours.”

“I think it’s great,” Nortier said. “It’s not just the history of the PBY, it’s the history of PBY and naval aviation, most of it on Whidbey Island all through history.

“It’s a great place for folks to come and see what Whidbey Island has contributed to the nation and our defense for, really, going on 70-plus years.”

Eventually, Richards caught up with Nortier.

He had heard there were flight simulators at the museum and looked forward to trying out a World War II– era PBY Catalina.

“It’s fun to play in there,” Richards said. “It’s a very forgiving aircraft. The first one, I had on the numbers.

The second one, I bounced a little bit. I wouldn’t want to do that in a ditch with a P-3.”

It is the goal of the PBY Memorial Foundation to eventually bring the real PBY aircraft currently at the Seaplane Base closer to the site of the new museum.

Wil Shellenberger, president of the PBY Memorial Foundation, said negotiations are ongoing to lease property to do that with

hopes of achieving that goal by the fall.

The museum had to leave its former site on the Seaplane Base because its five-year lease with NAS Whidbey expired in April.

The foundation’s ultimate plan is to purchase property and build a hangar-style museum in Oak Harbor that will contain aircraft, including the PBY. Its current lease at the Pioneer Way location is for five years.

Now that it’s off base, the museum is able to charge admission, sell items at its gift shop and raise money for a grander facility in the future.

The current location is another step toward reach-

ing that goal, as the general public is now able to gain access to the museum.

Paying close attention to artifacts Friday was Harvey Lasell, a retired naval commander who was an anti-aircraft gunnery officer aboard the USS Yorktown during the Battle of Midway in World War II. Lasell, a resident of Oak Harbor and now 98, won the Secretary of Navy’s pistol trophy during his naval career.

At the museum, he pointed to a 5-inch FoldingFin Aircraft Rocket that was attached to a wall not far from the flight simulators.

“I used to carry something like 1,000 or 1,500 of those on my ship,” he said.

TREASURER RACE CONTINUED FROM A1 from an extended leave Nuñez took last year to assist an ailing family member. In addition, Nuñez takes four weeks of vacation every year, she said.

Nuñez said she’s not going to apologize for taking the leave that she’s earned or for helping her family.

“I was never out of the loop,” Nuñez said. “I was okay with it and so were the commissioners.

Choosing to use your leave is your business. It refreshes you.”

Grone, a Republican, said Nuñez’s multiple absences made it difficult to get things done and that she failed to delegate key tasks.

The treasurer’s office has been struggling with a backlog of unprocessed tax supplements, which Nuñez inherited from her

PULLUPS CONTINUED FROM A1 At last count, McCastle raised $9,600 for the Wounded Warrior Project, just shy of his $10,000 goal.

The current world record for this feat is held by Navy SEAL David Goggins, who completed 4,030 pullups last year in 24 hours. It took Goggins three attempts to break the previous record.

McCastle, a 28-year-old personal trainer and air traffic controller for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, has run multiple marathons and ran 30 miles last year to support cancer research.

Because he wasn’t physically gifted in high school, McCastle said he’s had to work hard for everything and he uses that drive to push himself.

Instead of wrapping his hands or wearing gloves, which would have created tear-inducing moisture, McCastle used grip pads.

Still, his hands began to blister and peel several hours into the event, which was treated with a fast drying chalk.

“Not only were the pullups hard, but I had a separate battle with my hands,” McCastle said.

McCastle said there was also a hiccup in his plan.

After starting at 6 a.m., the video recorder stopped working. Feats must be recorded continuously and submitted to Guinness for consideration.

Because McCastle had to stop for about an hour to manage the technical difficulties, he said his body got cold and he lost valuable time.

McCastle said he knew the video malfunction might jeopardize his shot at beating the world record, but he told himself, “There’s a bigger picture.”

predecessor, Grone said.

In addition, errors made with the Clean Water Utility fee and the tax statements for Camano Island residents have also plagued Nuñez’s tenure.

Grone said Nuñez’s hands-off leadership and abrasive personality contributed to some of the problems.

As a recent chief deputy, Grone said she is the best equipped to go in, take over where Nuñez leaves off and get the office caught up.

“I found the times she was gone the staff responded well to me as a leader,” Grone said.

“My car was always the last one to leave the parking lot. I recognize the actions that need to be taken to improve this office. I expect accountability.”

Grone is a 29-year Washington

“Just because one part of your plan fails, it doesn’t mean your mission failed,” McCastle said. “It was about the amount of exposure I could bring to that Wounded Warrior Project. But that was a hard thing to accept.”

After restarting, he upped his reps per minute from five to eight every third set, a rate he had not trained for, one that taxed his body.

“So I’m playing catch up,” McCastle said. “I was pretty much already burning myself out.”

At around 2,100, McCastle began feeling micro tears in his forearms, an “excruciating” pain he described as like being branded or tattooed but with “more violent tugging.”

After a couple of breaks, McCastle also found he was urinating blood as a result of the rapid muscle break down.

“I knew then the record was in danger of not being met,” McCastle said. “That didn’t mean I was going to give up.

“You can still push yourself.”

McCastle said after 3,000 he took a 30-minute break.

He said the breaks were less about resting his fatiguing muscles and more about getting his head in the right space.

Toward the end, the period he calls “the dark sets,” he said he really had to dig deep for each set.

“Each time I pushed my body up to that bar, it was a transcendent experience,” McCastle said.

“I can’t describe it. It was about me and what decision Mike McCastle wants to make.”

At 1:30 a.m., McCastle tried one last time to pull himself up but was unable to close his hands.

“All my guitar strings, my

“I already have been a manager for 16 years,” Canell said. “I know

the rest will be a learning curve, but I will work closely with staff to get up to speed.”

Canell said she believes her handson management style will allow her to lead the treasurer’s office in improving accuracy and efficiency.

GRONE: “That’s my “My car was goal — to go always the last in and do it one to leave the myself if I have parking lot. I be- to,” Canell lieve in accountsaid. “That’s ability. taxpayer dollars. The office should work as a cohesive team, and I plan to help and get involved.”

Ultimately, Canell said she’s running because she believes she can do the best job for Island County.

“I care about the people in our-

community… they deserve someone who knows how to run an office and be accountable to the taxpayer,” Canell said.

Canell is a lifelong resident of Island County and has worked as the branch manager of Land Title and CANELL: Escrow for 16 “I care about the years.

WASTING AWAY CONTINUED FROM A1

Michael McCastle recovers at Whidbey General Hospital Monday after performing 3,202 pullups in 24 hours. He was 828 short of the 4,030 world record. tendons, were so inflamed I couldn’t make a fist,” he said.

McCastle went immediately to Whidbey General Hospital for a checkup and was admitted for lactic acidosis, a condition that occurs when cells leak toxic amounts of lactic acid into the blood stream. He said his entire body was in pain and doctors were concerned that his heartbeat had dropped to a dangerously low level.

For that reason, McCastle was transferred to Providence Regional Medical Center for observation because they have the capability of putting in a heart pacer if needed.

“It’s just a precaution,” McCastle said.

Moving forward, McCastle said he plans to take on thepull-up challenge again until he can beat it. He also plans to pursue his dream to become a Navy SEAL. For him, it’s all about finding his limitations.

“I need to know if there’s limits to the human soul,” McCastle said. “When I say I’m going to do something, I do it then and there.

“That’s how I need to experience life.” n For information or to make a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project, visit https://support. woundedwarriorproject. org/individual-fundraising/ mccastlepullup24/

researchers from Olympic National Park. Since then, sea stars along much of the North American Pacific coast are dying in great numbers from this mysterious “star wasting” syndrome.

“It’s real sad to see animals like that die off like that,” Seablom said. “I just hope they find the cause and then maybe a cure before they’re all gone.”

Barbara Bennett, program coordinator for the Beach Watchers, said Island County monitors 30 beach locations across Whidbey and Camano islands and are seeing the sea star wasting mainly on the west coasts.

Symptoms Beach Watchers are reporting include lesions on the sea star’s skin, followed by decay of tissue that leads to its body falling apart and, ultimately, death, according to sources at the University of California Santa Cruz.

UCSC is taking the lead on sea star wasting tracking on the west coast and locals who sight starfish can report them on the UCSC’s Pacific Rocky Intertidal Monitoring web page.

A deflated appearance can precede these signs of the disease and the progression of the wasting disease can be rapid, leading to death within a few days, according to the UCSC. Researchers said they believe the phenomenon is caused by a bacteria or a virus, but testing is still incomplete.

“The scientists are really stumped,” Bennett said.

“We’re hearing people say there’s piles of them. Here we’re not seeing the usual population.”

The disease interferes with their hydraulic system and, in some cases, limbs have been known to fall off and crawl away on their own, Bennett said.

“It’s kind of an alien thing.”

The disease is also highly contagious and residents are discouraged from touching or moving any of the sea stars.

Drop off in sea star populations were reported in the past, but it’s never been in such broad numbers, Bennett said.

Bennett speculated that the star wasting could be happening because other things are off balance — the temperature or chemistry of the ocean, for example. It might also be caused by pollution or climate change.

Rapid funding from Washington Sea Grant and National Science Foundation is being used to survey intertidal and near-shore areas of the coast where researchers say there is little to no information about sea star populations, according to UCSC sources.

Recently surveyed areas include Whidbey Island, the north coast of the Olympic Peninsula, from Salt Creek to Port Townsend, and the mainland coast near Bellingham.

Additional surveys are being done in the San Juan Islands.

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.
