Leaders call for director to resign

Democrats candidates ahead in local races

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Democrats appeared to lead in early Island County primary election returns with Karla Jacks leading for District 3 commissioner and Ana Maria Nunez as treasurer.

Jacks had a commanding lead with 2,371 votes, or 49 percent.

The race for the second slot is a squeaker. Republican Marc Hennemann has 727 votes, or 14.99 percent, Republican Rick Hannold has 712 or 14.68 percent and Aubrey Vaughan, who was appointed as an interim commissioner, has 688 votes, or 14.19 percent.

Ana Maria Nunez earned 6,412 votes, or 45 percent.

Former deputy treasurer Wanda Grone, a Republican, has 3,842 votes, or 27 percent, and escrow manager Christa Canell, also a Republican, has 3,950 votes, or 28 percent.

The incumbent is on top in the contested race for state representative, seat 2, in District 10.

It looks like Rep. Daves Hayes, a Republican, will face Democrat Nick Petrish in the general election, while two other candidates fall behind.

In the race for a seat in the U.S. House, incumbent Rep. Rick Larsen, a Democrat, is ahead with 57 percent of the vote in District 2. Republican candidate B.J. Guillot is in second place with 25,449 votes, which is 32 percent.

Independent candidate Mike Lapointe earned 8,946 votes, or 11 percent.

Two county commissioners, the mayor of Oak Harbor and a city councilman say they want Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose to resign.

In recent weeks, the transit agency has revealed that its money has been mismanaged for several years, the finance manager was fired in May and routes are being cut. While some believe resignation is the only option for Rose, others are waiting to see the results of the state audit that begins Aug. 11.

Disappointment apparent during Transit meeting

A SPLASH OF COLOR

Griffin Vollertsen fires colored powder at participants in the Run IN Color event Saturday, Aug. 2, at Windjammer Park. The run, sponsored by Rue and Primavera Occupational, Physical and Hand Therapy, is designed to raise money for important causes and bring the community together, according to Wendy Rue. This year’s race, which included 350 runners, raised $5,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project. Walmart also matched the first $2,000. See page 10 for more details on the run.

Disappointment was the dominant emotion at Island Transit’s first community meeting Monday in Oak Harbor about impending bus route cuts and changes.

Some people in the audience of about 30 voiced concerns about the route alterations, which they said would have a significant impact on their lives and the lives of others in the community.

Others were upset that Island Transit Director Martha Rose wasn’t at the meeting, but instead sent three employees from the operations side of the business to discuss the complicated changes to routes.

Rose has become a target of anger after she announced last month that 22 percent of the labor force was going to be cut and that routes SEE MEETING, A14

Island Transit sued over death

By JESSIE STENSLAND Co-editor

The estate of a woman who died in 2011 has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Island Transit.

The lawsuit, filed last week in Island County Superior Court, claims that former Whidbey resident Joan Biondi was injured when she was a rider of a paratransit bus and alleges that the injury contributed to her death less than three weeks later.

The lawsuit comes just as Island Transit is facing serious public relations problems because unforeseen financial difficulties forced officials to lay off employees and cut routes.

Attorney Chris Crew of Elma filed the lawsuit on behalf of the relatives of Biondi, who died on Sept.

15, 2011.

The lawsuit states that Biondi, who was with her granddaughter, sought paratransit transportation to Whidbey General Hospital for medication refills on Aug. 26, 2011.

Island Transit offers curbA PROUD SPONSOR

to-curb paratransit service for registered, eligible persons of disability who are unable to use the regular bus service.

The paratransit driver picked up Biondi and her granddaughter for the return trip. The driver strapped the wheelchair into the restraints but neglected to also strap Biondi into restraints, the lawsuit alleges.

The driver slammed on the brakes on the way to her home, allegedly causing Biondi to catapult from her wheelchair, hit her head on a seat and land hard on her knees, the complaint states.

The granddaughter reportedly helped Biondi back into her chair.

Biondi refused ambulatory service because she had just returned from the hospital, the lawsuit states.

The driver said he would have to report the incident to his supervisors, but allegedly neglected to do so, the lawsuit said.

The day after the incident, Biondi’s knees swelled and became pain-

ful. Her granddaughter called 911 for help and an ambulance crew responded. Biondi suffered cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital, but survived, the complaint states.

While recovering in the hospital, Biondi learned that her kneecap was shattered, the complaint states.

She died shortly after being released from the hospital.

Biondi’s granddaughter “believes that (Biondi) lost the will to live after the paratransit indent and resulting injuries,” the lawsuit claims.

The lawsuit alleges both wrongful death and negligence as causes of action. It alleges that Island Transit and its employee breached its duty to take reasonable care to prevent injury to its paratransit occupants.

In addition, the lawsuit alleges that the added stress and anxiety from Biondi’s injuries could have caused the onset of cardiac arrest, “which ultimately led to her untimely death.”

Violent theft could mean 8 years in prison for S. Whidbey homeless man

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

An attempt to steal a couple of fishing lures led to a violent encounter that could mean as much as eight years in prison for a South Whidbey homeless man, court documents indicate.

Prosecutors charged Travis Loetterle, 23, in Island County Superior Court July 29 with first-degree robbery, second-degree burglary, third-degree assault and third-degree theft.

Loetterle was charged earlier in the month for trafficking in stolen prop-

erty for allegedly trying to sell a Maltese poodle that belonged to someone else.

Lotterle’s criminal history increases his potential sentence in each case. He is so well known to police on South Whidbey that Langley Police Chief Dave Marks jokingly refers to him as his “arch-nemesis,” the South Whidbey Record reported.

In the newest case, an employee at Ace Hardware in Freeland reported seeing Loetterle shoplifting on July 26.

Three store employees stood outside the store to

confront Loetterle, who tried to run away but was pulled to the ground by the men, according to a deputy’s report on the incident.

Loetterle allegedly pulled a knife from his pocket during the melee, but one of the men knocked it from his hand and grabbed it, the report states.

One of the men claimed that Loetterle kicked him in “the nuts,” the deputy wrote.

Loetterle allegedly admitted to trying to steal a couple of fishing lures because “he needed to go fishing for food” and didn’t have any money, the deputy wrote.

Two apply for county marijuana business licenses

By JESSIE STENSLAND Co-editor

The anticipated operators of two recreational-marijuana-related businesses planned for Whidbey Island have filed applications with the Island County Planning Department.

That leaves another 40 applicants who filed with the Washington State Liquor Control Board for licenses to start pot-related businesses on the island but haven’t taken the necessary regulatory steps with Island County government.

The first applicants, Judy and Josh Harvey, propose to build a 3,833-square-foot barn for the production and processing of marijuana on a secluded road outside of Coupeville.

Maureen Cooke, the owner of a pub on South Whidbey, also filed applications for a site plan and a building permit for a 760-square-foot marijuana retail store in Bayview next to the El Corral Mexican restaurant. She opened the shop for a short time last week — though she didn’t have any product — but it turned out she didn’t have the necessary approvals from the county.

People have until 3 p.m. on Aug. 13 to submit comments on her proposal to the Island County Planning Department.

The Harvey site, on the other hand, lies within Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. County officials initially proposed banning

pot businesses from the area, but that changed after Coupeville farmers said they were against restrictions that would treat Central Whidbey different from other areas of the county.

Nevertheless, Coupeville resident Jim Martyn has written a petition asking the county to deny the Harvey’s land-use application because it is within the reserve, among other reasons.

“Because drug-farming is strictly prohibited in any part of a National Park, the county is contractually bound to refrain from issuing any permit for establishing and operating a drug growing and processing operation within Ebey’s Reserve,” Martyn wrote.

Island County is accepting public comment on the proposal until 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 6. Comments can be dropped off at the office or faxed to 360-679-7306.

The proposed growing and processing operation would be on Edgefield Lane. The Harveys, along with Esther Bandelin Rodriguez and Mark Rodriguez, filed for a license with the state under the business name Salish Seas Industries.

Their application to the county states that they propose to build a barn on 13 acres of property. It will not be open to the public and will be monitored by security cameras and an alarm system.

The unused parts of the plants will be quarantined and then mixed with other matter before being composted.

County permit waits decreased — in some cases

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Numbers released by the Island County Planning Department indicate that wait times for building permits are decreasing with some — but not all — projects.

In a memo released last week by Planning Director Dave Wechner, permits for commercial development are, on average, 19 days faster than in 2013 and residential developments are 13 days faster than in 2013.

However, mobile-home permits are only one day faster and flood-development permits are two days slower.

The county has been criticized in recent years for delays in building permitting and reopened to the public on Fridays in June to help address the issue.

Wechner said a total of 646 building permit applications were filed Jan. 1 through June 30, and 599 were issued with an average processing time of 29 days.

“To understand the whole of the process, you have to

remember that some building permits are subject to land-use approval, while some are not,” Wechner said.

“Some are subject the Health and Public Works approval — some are not.

So when someone asks us, ‘How long does a building permit take to be issued?’

That depends.”

Wechner said the length of the permitting process depends on what levels of review the project entails, whether the property is on a shoreline, a wetland, other critical areas or a steep slope.

What’s important to note, Wechner said, is that a building permit can be in process at the same time as a landuse approval, but cannot be issued until the land use is approved.

Dennis Kamera, of Kamera and Giles Carpentry in Langley, said he has seen improvements in the county’s permit processing on some projects. Kamera said the county went out of its way recently to expedite a few simple projects in order to keep his staff employed.

“We’ve had a really good experience with the county,” Kamera said. “I do believe they’ve made very positive strides in speeding up the process.”

However, he said the high turnover at the county and the increasing complexity of the federal regulations on critical areas and shoreline properties can make the planning process difficult for county staff.

“It’s frustrating to see,” Kamera said. “I’ve been there when contractors have berated them. It’s a no-win situation, it seems like, for them. But that’s the nature of those projects, and I don’t think that’s ever going to change.”

Builder Scott Yonkman, who also serves on the Island County Planning Commission, agreed that he has seen simpler projects get permitted more quickly over the last few months.

But those involving critical areas or waterfront are “still pretty bogged down,” Yonkman said.

“I believe David Wechner, who we work pretty close with and have had meetings

with about this, is sincerely trying to improve the process, and we appreciate that.”

Yonkman said his main frustration as a builder is when planners seem leery to make decisions on permitting, even when they meet all the criteria and provide the necessary reports.

“Even when we turn that in, they still seem to hesitate and take longer than we believe is appropriate to make decisions when the bulk of the work has been done,” Yonkman said.

Part of the issue is likely understaffing, which is also improving, Yonkman said, but another factor is county staff’s fear of “making a bad decision that will come back to haunt them later.

“I understand their caution, but we definitely gotta keep an eye on keeping the projects moving forward and serving our clients in a timely matter,” Yonkman said.

Auditor confronts criticism over ballot retrieval times

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

County Auditor Sheilah Crider defended her elections staff Monday in response to criticism about ballot collection during elections.

Crider said she was responding to ongoing criticism from residents like Carol Wilkerson who have accused the auditor’s office of not picking up ballots in a timely manner in remote areas.

The criticisms treated her staff “disrespectfully,” Crider said.

Wilkerson has complained that ballots are being left in ballot boxes for up to a week and that pickup times should be posted on ballot boxes.

“There are some issues that need to be addressed,” said Wilkerson, who regularly attends board meetings via video conferencing from Camano Island. “The constituents are not getting what they are supposed to.”

Crider gave a statement at the board’s regular Monday meeting, saying that she

wanted to address criticism from both the public and Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who commented on the issue during last week’s regular meeting.

“I just want an assurance that all the constituents are being treated equally,” Price Johnson said.

Crider said all ballots are picked up three times per week and are processed the same day at the elections office.

In addition, using ballot boxes as a “bulletin board” to post pickup times is “prohibited” according to state and federal law, Crider said.

“Your statements were troubling,” Crider said. “They could not be further from the truth. In the future if you make statements about the auditor, don’t include my staff.”

Price Johnson said she simply wanted to make sure the auditor was responding to resident concerns and that the elections staff does “an admirable job.”

Customers like family at Daily Grind Cafe a popular gathering spot for Oak Harbor’s clubs, groups

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

It’s just shy of 10 o’clock in the morning on a recent Friday and the Daily Grind is buzzing.

Tammie DeRosa scans her cafe and sees familiar faces at every table. She then spots another coming through the door.

“OK, Miss Margaret,” DeRosa says cheerfully.

“Are you having a Mocha Freeze?”

For seven and a half years, DeRosa has gotten to know her customers and their favorite drinks and caters to them as if they were members of her own family.

It’s during that span that she and her husband Michael have owned the small cafe, which is tucked away in downtown Oak Harbor, facing the iconic windmill, with City Beach Street as the easiest access.

It can be a bit of a lonely existence at times inside a mostly unoccupied building that once housed a large number of Whidbey Island Bank employees who frequented the cafe.

But despite its quiet

surroundings, the Daily Grind is no secret to locals, especially during breakfast hours when the morning rush comes in, then again at lunch.

“There are a lot of regulars,” said Margaret Galbraith of Oak Harbor, who comes every Friday morning for her Mocha Freeze. “A lot of hometown people.”

On this particular Friday morning, every table was taken as 29 customers sipped their drinks and engaged in lively conversation.

Galbraith, an Oak Harbor business owner, met for coffee with Jan Hughes, an instructor at Skagit Valley College, as part of a Friday morning routine.

Such routines are contagious at the Daily Grind, which is a gathering spot for knitting and walking groups and various clubs.

Galbraith said the atmosphere is much like the one in the television show, “Cheers” where “everybody knows your name.”

“This is an institution,” Hughes said, “and what keeps it going is Tammie.

You can get coffee all over this town.”

“We like the atmosphere and friendliness,” Galbraith said. “Tammie is very gracious.”

DeRosa works six days

Business hours are 7 a.m. until 4 p.m., except for Saturday when it is open from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.

“There’s a lot of work involved with running a restaurant,” DeRosa said, “and I love every bit of it because the clientele we have coming in here is just priceless.

We have retired senior citizens who are the nicest people, the most understanding people. I can’t say enough about these people. It’s like my second family. I just love

them to pieces.”

DeRosa used to run a cleaning business in Spokane before she worked in retail. She was glad to have another opportunity to operate a business and couldn’t imagine a better one than what she has in the Daily Grind.

Customers have noticed her compassion as she tends to keep a watchful eye on some of her elderly patrons and checks on their wellbeing even after they’ve left her cafe.

“I kind of think God’s going to take care of her because I’m doing good things.”

And she hopes to have the opportunity to continue to do so for a long time.

She is hopeful but uncertain about the future of her restaurant’s location after the City of Oak Harbor purchased the building from Whidbey Island Bank earlier this year with plans for a new wastewater treatment plant in the immediate area.

ISLAND SCANNER Pool commissioner leaves ‘drama’ behind FRIDAY, JULY 18 District seeks candidate to fill seat on board

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

With Kirk Huffer now living in Arizona, North Whidbey Parks and Recreation District is looking to fill his vacant seat on the board of commissioners.

Huffer left the parks board in June after a tumultuous year in the board’s history. Former district director Bill Walker quit late last year after repeated clashes with the board.

Walker fired a swim coach and administrative assistant in 2012 when both refused to provide him with a password for the swim club’s bank account.

The Washington State Auditor’s Office investigated and found more than $18,000 in adjustments had been made to club members’ accounts without explanation. The two employees sued the district for wrongful termination and received settlements.

In his new city, Huffer said he would be willing to get involved in a parks district again, but “hopefully one without all the drama.

“I hope to pass on some good ideas if I find a healthy district down here,” Huffer said.

Huffer said he left the district believing that it is in good hands with the new director Gino Wolfe, whom he called “a good fit.” Gino, a retired Navy command master chief, started his new position in May. “I felt like I left with a lot of work still to be done,” Huffer said, “but I believe … we are making progress in the right direction.

“I learned a lot about human nature and myself while serving on the board as a volunteer,” he said.

parks and recreation district Commissioner Alan McDougall said Huffer was a “big help” in understanding the financial reports the board received.

“He provided a lot,” McDougall said. “He was a straightforward kind of guy.

He had points, and you had to try and figure them out sometimes, but they were usually very sound.”

McDougall said that the board is looking for a replacement who is “concerned about physical fitness, health and the community (and) understands a little bit about procedure, so they can pick up speed really quickly.”

He said there are already a couple people interested in the job who “seem like nice people,” but he doesn’t know them personally.

“Essentially, we’ll just choose one who seems the best,” McDougall said.

Huffer said he moved at the end of June in part because he and his wife were looking for an environment in which their children could compete in advanced swimming competitions.

“My wife and I made the decision to look elsewhere for a team that better fits their needs,” Huffer said.

“It was not a decision made lightly.”

In the end, Huffer said that he hopes his replacement will “have a vision for the district, which includes updating the current facility and releasing the additional potential that is there.”

There’s another side to the saga that is fossil fuels GUEST COLUMN

By DON C. BRUNELL For decades, radio newsman Paul Harvey gave us a side of the news that we either hadn’t heard or hadn’t considered. His “Rest of the Story” commentaries provided an in-depth look at the news behind the headlines.

Today, all the headlines are about the negative impacts of fossil fuels.

But when you dig deeper, as Harvey did, you get the rest of the story.

For thousands of years, food, water, clothing and shelter were the basic necessities of life. Today, we need to include electricity.

In China and India, home to more than a third of the world’s 7.25 billion people, 85,000 people move into cities each day.

They are moving from areas without modern conveniences into urban housing where refrigerators, freezers, washers and dryers, computers, and Internet are part of everyday life.

Electricity is also essential for clean water, as governments around the world invest in water sanitation and waste water treatment plants. The need is to build new treatment plants for the 2.5 billion people who still lack safe drinking water.

While some complain about fossil fuels, almost three billion people still use primitive stoves to burn wood or dried animal dung for cooking. The resulting indoor air pollution kills 3.5 million people a year — mainly women and children — from respiratory illnesses. In fact, each year people burning wood and charcoal in Africa contribute to the destruction of forests equal to the size of Switzerland.

Meanwhile, the next generation of fossil fuel combustion technology is cleaning up our air and water, while producing useful by-products, such as green wallboard.

China, often reviled as the poster child for smog and pollution, has developed a project called GreenGen, the world’s largest near-zero emissions coal plant.

It generates 265 megawatts of electricity — enough to power over 200,000 homes — from gasified coal, SEE BRUNELL, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Teamwork

Hospital staff rallied to respond to incident

Editor, Recently, Whidbey General Hospital’s Emergency Department received a call that two rescue helicopters were about to land with seven children and two adults who had flipped their kayaks in turbulent water.

We had no other information about what to expect in the way of injuries, but the quick response across the hospital using incredible teamwork made us ready for any contingency within minutes.

Environmental Services staff responded to the helipad while Emergency Department staff divided the work and the geography so that all of the patients were triaged and had care in progress immediately.

Patient Access staff mobilized their team while OB nurses and their students responded to help. The staff from the Surgery Department made certain we had all of the stretchers needed to accommodate the patients since the Emergency Department already

had their usual busy complement of patients who needed care.

The kitchen responded quickly with hot drinks and food to help address the hypothermia. Coincidentally, we had disaster training taking place at the same time and our Emergency Medical Services colleagues and an off-duty Emergency Department nurse came over to assist. They used the skills they had been teaching for this real world situation.

Our social worker was busy on the phone contacting nervous parents, reassuring them and giving them directions.

As always, Dr. Hansen and the Emergency Department physicians were exceptional, balancing technical expertise with a caring attitude.

I cannot begin to describe the pride I felt as I watched our team work. They got scared, shivering kids out of their soaked, cold clothes and into warm blankets while taking their histories and reassuring them.

They soon had smiles replace the fear they felt.

As we thankfully became certain all would be OK, the staff went on to do those little extras that make them so special. A patient-access staff member

and Emergency Department technician used hair dryers to deal with all of the wet hair, staff were providing the children with personal cell phones to contact worried parents, and the kids who were not coping well had hands to hold while the remainder of the staff capably cared for the other patients without delay.

We are grateful the kayakers are OK, but I am equally grateful that this community has such a talented and professional team to care for them when they need us.

Thanks to everyone who participated. This is what a great community hospital and a great team looks like.

Well done.

Linda Gipson Chief Nursing Officer Whidbey General Hospital

MARK

THE DATE

CONTINUED FROM A6 and the resulting CO2 is injected into a nearby oil field rather than released into the atmosphere.

The reality is the use of coal to produce electricity has nearly doubled in America since 1970 as our economy (GDP) has more than doubled.

During that same period, key emissions per kilowatt per hour have decreased by 90 percent.

Many people who enjoy ample electricity have developed strong biases against fossil fuels and want to stop any research into clean fossil fuel technology.

But that technology is allowing us to grow and create jobs while

actually cleaning up our global environment.

Americans don’t stop to ask what life would be like without an adequate power supply.

We are so accustomed to flipping on a switch for light, powering up our computers and adjusting our thermostats for heat and air conditioning that it is a reality jolt when the electric grid goes down for just a couple of days.

Our abundant low-cost hydropower has been the staple of our state’s economy.

Electricity is essential for the production of the aluminum used in Boeing aircraft, growing

silicon wafers for computer chips and sustaining agriculture, our state’s largest industry.

But most of the world is not blessed with our Columbia River hydropower system and must rely on fossil fuels.

Even with energy-efficient appliances and advances in building construction, we will use more electricity in the future — including the electricity we use to recharge our electric cars.

Those 150,000 electric cars people bought last year need power from the electric grid to recharge their batteries, and

often that electricity comes from fossil fuel generating plants.

The good news is we can meet that demand through innovation and technology, if we have the will to do so.

As Harvey would say: “Now You Know the Rest of the Story.”

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6

Island from Scottsdale, Ariz., I am impressed by not only the beauty of the climate, but also the phenomenal people.

Thank you to our realtor, Rick Chapman of Caldwell Banker, and his family for an-over-the-top introduction and warmest of welcomes to the island. We are forever thankful that we met these good, kind people who have shown us much more than the homes for sale.

Dr. Mark Duncan, who has treated our family members with expertise and compassion, resolving a health issue that had lingered unnecessarily due to misdiagnoses. We are so impressed with his knowledge and genuine interest in our family’s health. Thank you, Dr. Duncan, you are already the best doctor we have ever had.

Best Friend’s Veterinary Clinic, who quickly and humanely helped end our dog’s suffering and then sent flowers and a condolence card.

Debbie with the red barn at Walmart, who saved my bad mitten set, which I forgot to put in my cart, until I returned for it.

Our new experiences with the people of Oak Harbor have been impressive. Thank you for showing us what a great community we have chosen.

Island Transit

Predicted in 2009 that bus system would fall

Editor, I read Sandra Kuykendall’s letter and found it very informative. She has now stated for the record that Island Transit has studies in hand concerning bus fares.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, I requested a copy of any studies conducted on the subject by Island Transit, and, needless to say, I am still wait-

ing on them.

So if I am not assuming too much, I would think that she will produce the studies now and put the issue to rest permanently.

As far as the issue of the “rogue employee,” I would ask how one rogue employee was able to bring a government entity to such dire straits.

Martha Rose did not suggest that Barbara Savary took money but just did not do her job at paying bills. It makes one wonder how anyone with access to the bank account would not question Savary.

The board, as I stated before, received financial reports on outgoing bills and passed them with little fanfare. They did not question Rose on how much money was in the bank or investments when I attended the meetings.

Rose knows to the penny how much money she gets, and it is not for public knowledge. Kuykendall, when she was finance director, would also not produce any financial reports. If you ask too often, you were told to see Rose.

If you ask for incoming revenue, you will either be stonewalled or you will receive the comment that I received from Rose in, “Jim, you just do not understand finances.”

In 2009 I predicted at one of the last meetings I attended that at the rate Island Transit was spending and expanding off island, they would implode.

Current boardmembers Bob Clay and Helen Price Johnson were at that meeting.

So, Kuykendall, now that you are back on the payroll, I would think the public would be interested in comparing the financial records of 2008, the last year you were in charge of spending, with 2013.

This would be an eye-opener for anyone.

That should put all this bickering by anyone who has the audacity to question Island Transit, Rose and now you to rest.

The public must realize that no matter the outcome of this issue, Rose and the small, trusted innercircle of current and former employees will be protected.

The ship might sink a little, but the lifeboat of the few will be deployed. Looks like a “Save Our System” campaign all over again, Kuykendall, if you cannot produce stonewall.

Write-in

Article is mockery of island Democrats

Editor, With regard to the Aug. 2, 2014 issue of the Whidbey News-Times: While the photo of Dave Olinger, the man running as a write-in for Island County sheriff, is definitely front-page worthy, I was quite upset to see that the staff writer, Jessie Stensland, took what is to be a quirky story of an island man and sneakily inserted obvious personal biases that have no place in the article.

Referring to Olinger as a “Democrat to a nearly stereotypical extent; a ponytail, perhaps, would send him over the edge.”

Did misplaced judging or stereotyping come back into style again and I missed it?

Instead of mocking a man for going against the grain and fighting for something he believes in, let’s praise him and support him rather than basically smiling to his face and laughing when his back is turned.

Also, Jon Stewart is not a “fake news host.” He has never claimed to be a news host, and he has never claimed that his show is a news broadcast.

He is a comedian who hosts a satirical news program on a comedy channel.

I realize that this island is a more Republican area than it is Democrat,

but that doesn’t mean those on the left must be mocked for having different viewpoints.

Paige Darrah Oak Harbor

n Editor’s note: Mr. Olinger and his wife went into the interview with the News-Times reporter fully acknowledging the tongue-in-cheek nature of his candidacy and are having fun with it. Jon Stewart himself referred to “The Daily Show” as “fake news” during a July 2003 interview with Bill Moyers, according to a transcript online at www.PBS.org

Politics

Anti-Obama signs are just disrespectful Editor, I find it extremely sad that I can’t go to Oak Harbor’s official federal government post office without being subjected to huge photos of America’s much-loved President Barack Obama defiled with Hitler mustaches and the word “impeach” in giant letters.

I was no great fan of President George W. Bush and his pre-emptive wars, but I would never, ever disrespect any United States president in such a way.

I joined a group that picketed for peace on the corner of Coupeville’s Main Street and Highway 20 prior to 2008, but none of us would publicly deface an American president this way.

It not only disrespects the very office of the presidency, it disrespects the entire American government.

Yes, we all know the federal government needs major fixing … but it is certainly not one man’s fault.

And this mud-slinging fest is not the way.

Midwives offer birthing options

BIRTHS

By MICHELLE BEAHM

AMELIA ANN GREELEY, 7 pounds, 10 ounces, was born July 18. She is the daughter of Brendan and Jaimi Greeley of Oak Harbor.

Staff reporter

For midwife Sarah Meyer, supporting women in the birthing process is a wonderful experience.

Meyer said she loves seeing the transformation of a woman becoming a firsttime mother.

“This is life changing for women, particularly having their first baby, and I love to be able to see that transformation,” Meyer said.

Meyer became a registered nurse 30 years ago in New Zealand. Ten years later, she shifted gears to become a midwife.

“I wanted to work in an area that specifically kind of dealt with women’s health,” she said.

Midwives care for women from their first period through the rest of their lives, according to Meyer, not just the well-known obstetric focus.

Eighteen months ago, Meyer partnered with Dr. Robert Burnett and Dr. Melissa Chinn, who specialize in obstetrics and gynecology, at Island Women’s Healthcare Clinic in Coupeville.

The clinic provides complete OBGYN care for women and offers patients a choice between the traditional medical approach or the increasingly popular midwifery approach to care.

Meyer said midwives take care of the majority of childbearing women in many countries all over the world, but “it hasn’t really been mainstream in America.”

She said that lately, many hospitals have started embracing midwifery, just like Whidbey General Hospital has done with the clinic.

Island Women’s Healthcare is the first clinic Meyer has worked in that has both obstetric doctors and a midwife in the same building.

“Midwives always work in collaboration with an obstetrician or gynecologist,” she said.

They do this in case there are any medical complications with a woman’s care.

Sarah Meyer is a certified nurse midwife with Island Women’s Healthcare, a clinic in Coupeville that offers midwifery and obstetrics healthcare. Meyer said that she’s been getting busier lately, a sign that midwifery is becoming a more popular choice.

In the clinic, Meyer said the doctors are “very supportive of midwifery care, and I’m able to consult with them on a daily basis.”

She used to work in a midwifery clinic in Mount Vernon, where she consulted with doctors who didn’t work out of the same building, and she finds having them so close is a lot easier.

“They have a really good idea about my practice, and I think that the trust between providers is really important, so I think it works really well,” she said.

Patients at the clinic get to choose which treatment path they want to follow, and Meyer said that midwifery is good for women wanting a low-intervention birth.

“Midwives really encourage women to actively participate in decision making, to really be involved in their care, along with their families, and so midwives often appeal to women who are really looking for that kind of birth experience.”

Another benefit, according to Meyer, is that once active labor starts, she is able to stay with the mother all throughout the process, whereas obstetricians aren’t able to do so because of other patients and commitments they have to

DEBBIE LEAVITT

take care of at the same time.

“Midwifery is more of a one-to-one management during labor, where we end up managing more than one patient during labor a lot of times,” Burnett said.

“And so we utilize a lot of the labor and delivery nurses to do a lot of the handson things during labor.”

Meyer said that if, throughout the pregnancy or labor, there were any highrisk situations or “anything that seemed untoward,” she would refer the patient to the obstetricians.

“We’re there to help with problems she can’t manage or shouldn’t manage,” Burnett said.

However, if the woman were to stay healthy and have no complications, “like most women,” Meyer said she would oversee their care throughout the pregnancy.

“My role is to kind of support and encourage women to have a positive experience with childbirth,” she said.

“I think that you need to deliver with a provider that you feel comfortable with, that is going to support your decisions, and, for some women, that is an obstetrician,” Meyer said. “And for some others, it would be a midwife. I think that having both choices is ideal.”

Big League Career

Nothing small about Tylers’ contribution to North Whidbey Little League

By JIM WALLER Sporrts editor

“It’s all about the kids.”

Ken Tyler used the line grudgingly to explain why he volunteers to work with North Whidbey Little League.

“It’s a cliche, and I don’t like it because so many people aren’t sincere when they say it. But it IS all about the kids.”

And has been for 37 years.

Tyler and his wife Stella, who is also a longtime NWLL volunteer, are moving to Havre, Mont., in the fall, which will end their decadeslong service to the youth of Oak Harbor.

Their daughter Tracey and two of their grandchildren live in Havre. What isn’t in Havre is a Little League program, at least for now. The Tylers aim to change that.

They don’t want their grandchildren missing out of the Little League experience, so they are going to kill two birds, make that three, with one stone.

They will get to spend more time with Tracey’s family, they will make sure their grandchildren have the opportunity to play Little League and they will treat the rest of Havre to the wonders of youth baseball and softball.

Ken Tyler said he already contacted the Little League District Administrator of the

region that includes Havre and “warned him I was coming.”

Ken Tyler began his association with North Whidbey Little League in 1978 when he coached his son Kevin’s Cap League team. After two years, he realized he didn’t possess the expertise to coach the sport at the higher levels, so he turned to umpring to stay involved.

In umpiring he made his biggest mark, and there he was (and is) an expert.

Dedicated to his craft, he attended an umpiring school in 1990 to hone his skills.

He was the head umpire for North Whidbey Little League for eight years, an umpire consultant for the district for 12 years and the district umpire-in-chief for eight.

In 2007 he reached the mecca for Little League umpires: He was selected to umpire the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. He served on the North Whidbey board for 27 years, the final five as president.

Since 1997 he has been an officer at the district level, and took over the leadership role, district administrator, in 2009. The district covers Island, Skagit, Whatcom and San Juan counties.

By comparison, Stella Tyler is a mere pup in volunteer service time, beginning

Tyler Tributes NWLL President Erica Wasinger: “Ken and Stella are irreplaceable assets to NWLL and District 11. Not sure of any who have worked as hard to ensure every child has the opportunity to play baseball and softball.”

NWLL Vice President of Baseball Henry Westman: “When I became president, Ken was still on the board, and I always looked to him for guidance when ideas were brought up to make changes to ensure that it was the best thing to do for the league.”

NWLL Umpire-in-Chief Sean Rafferty: “They watched and helped mold the youth of this city and now are molding the children of that youth. For some of these kids, Ken and Stella are the only adults in their lives that truly care about their efforts and how they are doing.”

NWLL Secretary Sue Wolfe: “Although they may be dog tired from long days at the ball fields, I never heard them consider any option other than what is best for the players in Little League.”

NWLL Player Agent Walt Bankowski: “They both love Little League and have the interest of the players first in all they do, and that is the way it should be.”

was working full time, Ken was at sea and I was too busy to help. I’m paying back instead of paying forward.”

She found when she retired as an Oak Harbor High School math teacher she needed something to do.

“I was going to read a lot, but that got old really fast,” she said. “I got the opportunity to be on the board, and it built and kind of evolved from that.”

Most of her work centered on inventorying uniforms and, with Terri Mebane, running the concession stand, somewhere fans will find her every night.

Run IN Color raises $5,000 for Wounded Warrior Project

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Run IN Color continued its run of helping worthy causes when the second annual race and kids dash took place at Windjammer Park Saturday, Aug. 2.

Last year’s race, according to one of its organizers, Wendy Rue, was a way to honor those who were injured in the Boston

Marathon bombing.

“Somehow an ‘explosion of color’ seemed to be just right to satisfy my desire to help and calm down my anger,” she said prior to last year’s Run IN Color.

Co-worker Tara Vollersten suggested they (Rue and Primavera Occupational, Physical and Hand Therapy) sponsor a run and give the proceeds ($3,000) to a local charity. Last year’s recipi-

ent was Citizens Against Domestic Violence.

This year, $5,000 went to the Wounded Warrior Project. Walmart also contributed $2,000.

“We believe that good things result when people come together with good goals ---- and experience some healthy fun in the process,” Rue said. “That is our therapy philosophy as well as a broader goal for our com-

munity.”

The event, which included a 5K and a quarter-mile kids dash, attracted 300 adults and 50 children.

“This year we added something new,” Rue said. “We did free running evaluations from June until race day.

Preventing injuries is the key to long-term physical wellbeing. So often physical therapy is done after an injury.”

Scott Smith stands before a 1967 Pontiac Firebird that he restored and will bring to the North Whidbey Car Show Saturday. Smith has attended the show every year since it started in 1985.

Show stopper

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Building a reputation as a selftaught, first-rate vehicle restorer has kept Scott Smith sometimes busier than he wants to be.

“I have a five-car garage and two of my own vehicles are parked outside,” Smith said.

Smith, who runs Scott’s Creative Customs out of his home shop in Coupeville, has been working in the car body business on Whidbey Island for nearly 40 years. And one of the places he likes to showcase some of his work is at the annual car show on the Oak Harbor waterfront.

Smith’s cars have been fixtures at the North Whidbey Car Show since the event’s inception in 1985.

He’ll bring at least two more shiny examples Saturday when the North Whidbey Lions Club’s big event happens for the 29th year at Windjammer Park.

Jim Woessner, founder of the car show, said Smith is one of the rare few who’ve been to every show and is a “local boy” who’s well-liked as both a fellow classic car enthusiast and restorer.

Smith, who actually hails from

Coupeville car restorer hasn’t missed a chance to showcase his work at North Whidbey Car Show

29th Car Show Gates open for the 29th North Whidbey Lions Car Show at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 9, at Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor. Trophies are awarded at about 4 p.m. The event is free to the public. The show is open to all makes, models and years of cars, trucks and motorcycles. There are 21 categories, ranging from stock, altered and custom cars to street rods, muscle cars, imports and classic imports, among others. For those interested in entering a vehicle into the event, preregistration is taking place from 4-7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9, at the park. Registration is $25 Friday or $30 Saturday. The North Whidbey Lions Club sponsors the event with proceeds going back to the community through many projects supported by the Lions.

Seattle, guesses that he’s probably worked on about 25 cars that will appear at this year’s show.

His reputation already had

Smith has worked on bodies of cars for nearly 40 years on Whidbey Island.

Six years ago, he opened his own business, Scott’s Creative Customs. begun growing when Woessner and a small group put on the first North Whidbey Car Show in the parking lot of the Oak Harbor Auto Center near Les Schwab Tire Center on State Highway 20 as a way to show off some of the locals’ nice rides.

“I think there were 35 cars, maybe, the first year we were there,” Smith said.

The event quickly outgrew that location and moved to the Seaplane Base, then Bayshore Drive and eventually to the city beach site where it’s been held for about the last 20 years, Woessner said.

“Holding it at city beach park has really been the secret to the success and consistency of the show,” Woessner said. “We’re told year after year by the attendees that it’s one of the best car show venues they’ve ever been to. It’s close to shopping. It’s on beautiful grass. A lot of shows are on bumpy fields or on the hot asphalt. It’s a place for kids to swim. It really is a family event.”

About 230 cars, trucks and motorcycles are expected Saturday to compete in 21 categories for more than 70 trophies that are awarded on the day. The event will

take place on the sprawling grass; however, a stormwater project happening at the park’s south end will cut into some space and take a little away from the park’s beauty associated with the car show.

Smith is bringing two vehicles he restored, including a red 1967 Firebird owned by Coupeville’s Margeen Boyer. During that custom restoration, he said he was able to save the hood, driver’s door, trunk and roofline and “pretty much replaced everything else.

“I take them down the bare metal and start from there,” he said.

Smith also is planning to bring a ‘69 Camaro.

“The era I’ve built my business is mostly the mid 1960s to early ‘70s,” he said. “Those are the ones I like the best.”

Smith owns five cars and two motorcycles himself and tries not to push those numbers much higher to keep his wife, Alice Birkner, happy.

Unlike her husband, she won’t let projects push her car out of the garage.

“No,” Smith said. “She has a Mercedes. It doesn’t stay outside.”

Family shares talents in Highland Games

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Whenever Grayson Akins returns to campus at Western Washington University and talks about her summer athletic endeavors back home on Whidbey Island, she’s often met with a blank stare.

New friends are dumbfounded, yet curious, to learn more about tossing logs, stones and hay that are part of the athletic segment of the Whidbey Highland Games.

“Explaining it is always really interesting,” said Akins, 20, who lives in Oak Harbor and will be a senior at Western in the fall. “It sounds like you’re standing in a field wearing something weird and throwing heavy things.”

Wearing a Scottish kilt and tossing large objects across a field is not something Akins would have ever envisioned she’d be doing after graduating from Coupeville High School.

Yet, Akins, her older sister, Jordan, and their dad, Andrew, all tried it out several years ago and got hooked, and the trio will compete in the 16th annual event at Greenbank Farm Saturday, Aug. 9.

“I think it’s great,” said Andrew Akins, who’s been at it the longest in the family, guessing about six years. “It took me a while to talk them into it. They were a little bit resistant.”

“We didn’t know this existed,” Jordan Akins, 22, said.

Athletic competitions such as the caber toss, stone put and sheaf toss are only a part of the Highland Games, which is a celebration of Scottish culture.

From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, the event also will feature Highland piping, drumming and dancing competitions. A variety of Celtic performances will take place on the main stage. There also will be food vendors and a beer garden.

Cost to attend is $10 for adults, $7 for children, seniors and military and kids 4 and under are free.

The Highland games are played out in various communities around the United States and Canada as well as in Scotland, where the Cowal Highland Gathering, held in Dunoon, attracts thousands of

The Akins clan of Andrew, center, and daughters Grayson, left, and Jordan will be part of the Whidbey Highland Games athletic competition Saturday. competitors.

The state’s largest event is the Pacific Northwest Scottish Highland Games, which took place for the 68th time last week in Enumclaw. In 2013, that event drew 30,000 spectators.

Whidbey’s version is played out on a much smaller scale yet is one of the most anticipated annual events at Greenbank Farm, taking on more prominence this year with the suspension of the Loganberry Festival.

About 50 people from Washington, Oregon and Canada are signed up to compete in athletics with seven participants from the island.

Athletics consists of a variety of different tosses with each competitor partaking in every event. In the caber toss, participants lift and attempt to flip over a log or pole with the degree in which it lands carrying more significance than distance. Best tosses flip over and land at 12 on an imaginary clock.

Other tosses involve a hammer, weight and stone. There’s also the sheaf toss, which involves chucking a bundle of straw with a pitchfork.

Athletes compete in different classes, including novice, amateur A and B and masters. Whidbey’s Highland Games don’t typically draw any professionals in athletics, said Jordan Akins, who is

helping organize the athletic portion of the games.

The Akins family, which is Scottish, became exposed to the Highland Games after Belle Akins attended the Skagit Games in Mount Vernon several years ago and reported her findings to her husband and daughters.

The family started attending events together and the competitive drive took over.

“It’s just cool,” said Andrew Akins, who played soccer and was a pole vaulter on the track and field team at Oak Harbor High School. “It’s cool being on the field the same time as them.”

The Highland Games community also impressed Andrew Akins, adding competitors don’t have to be Scottish to participate.

“As far as sports go, I’ve never been involved in one with this amount of camaraderie and sportsmanship,” he said.

“I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“It’s a little family,” Grayson said.

Andrew Akins has grown accustomed to wearing a kilt during competitions. He said at some Highland games, athletes aren’t allowed to compete without one.

He’s convinced a kilt allows him to throw farther.

“Once you start wearing it, there’s no going back,” he said.

Arts and crafts vendors will fill the streets of downtown Coupeville this weekend as the Coupeville Festival Association rings in its 50th anniversary.

Roughly 250 volunteers aid in the execution of the festival, which is a big draw for people from all over.

The festival will feature more than 200 vendors, live music, food, activities and more.

It runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

A juried art gallery and wine reception will serve as the kickoff to the festival 7 p.m. Friday at the Coupeville Recreation Hall, 901 NW Alexander St. Advance tickets may be purchased for $20 at bayleaf, Coupeville Chamber of Commerce, Coupeville Arts Center and Lind’s Pharmacy in Coupeville.

Tickets are $25 at the door.

One thing that is changing this year is there won’t be an Artists in Action area.

Festival Association President Mike Dessert said the location they normally used was unavailable to the festival this year and there were no other suitable locations.

Not only does it take 250 volunteers to execute the festival each year, but over

CITY OF

the years several partnerships have been formed.

The Coupeville Chamber of Commerce is running the wine and beer garden as well as the information booth.

All of the proceeds from the festival go back into the community in the form of grants and scholarships.

Since the 1980s, the association has supported Coupeville High School’s History Day program.

In exchange, History Day students help the festival by picking up garbage over both days.

The Coupeville Boys and Girls Club runs the parking on the community green and will receive 60 percent of the proceeds from that.

One change this year, Dessert said, is that parking will be $5 instead of the previous $3.

Last year, nearly 2,000 cars paid to park in the designated festival parking, he said.

The festival will feature live music both days. The stage will be located near the food court in the municipal parking lot.

A variety of artists will perform, including a mariachi band and a family band offering traditional American music.

“Where is Martha Rose and what is she not telling the public?” one audience member yelled out.

Oak Harbor resident Jim Pace said he hoped Rose or members of the Transit board would show up; he had a set of hard-hitting questions ready.

“Needless to say, when I saw the medium-size fish in the operations manager and the two young folks that look like deer in the headlights were the sacrificial lambs, I knew the jig was up,” he said afterward.

Operations Manager Shawn Harris said the administration at Island Transit discussed whether Rose should attend the meeting, but they decided her presence would distract from the goal of discussing routes.

He said he would be sure to pass on concerns to Rose.

“There might be some trust lost,” he said. “…We are going to do our best to

regain that.”

Tuesday, Rose reiterated that the purpose of the community meetings is solely to discuss route changes.

She said Island Transit may have a community meeting in the future on the topic of finances, but not until after auditors have looked through the books and come up with answers to what happened.

People at the meeting made it clear that the farefree bus service is vital to the community. Elderly people take the bus to hospital appointments. Teenagers grab buses to get to school.

People take them to jobs or to court.

Harris acknowledged that the route cuts will have “a trickle-down effect for our community.”

Perhaps the biggest complaint about route changes was that Saturday bus service, including paratransit, is being discontinued. Harris said his plan is to bring Saturday service back in about a year.

Oak Harbor resident Cheryl Louder speaks at a community meeting about Island Transit Monday evening. She relies on buses to travel to the airport.

Oak Harbor resident Alamash Aketch said she can’t drive because of medical issues and depends on buses to get to medical appointments as far away as Seattle.

She said she wasn’t happy that the routes she uses are being changed without any input from the community.

“It just isn’t fair,” she said.

Oak Harbor resident

Cheryl Louder regularly takes buses to get to the airport and back. She said it takes a lot of planning and route cuts will make it that much more difficult.

Still, she doesn’t take the

bus service for granted.

“I have never been on a bus system where the drivers are so courteous to the riders, especially the elderly,” she said.

troversy at the county commissioners regular meeting Monday. Vaughan also called for the resignation of Island Transit Board chairman Bob Clay.

“If public confidence is to be restored, the board should restructure,” Vaughan said.

“Mr. Clay should step down.

The board should vote in a new chairperson with realworld business experience and someone with no ties to Island Transit.

“The public needs to see real changes. Changes that will restore confidence.”

Vaughan, who now serves on the Island Transit board with Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, said that at his first meeting last week, he was told that the financial data placed before them to

review was still not correct.

“I’m not sure what the board is getting, what they have gotten or if it’s correct,” Vaughan said.

Vaughan said members of the Transit board, including Price Johnson, who has served on the board for five years, “have let us down.”

Commissioner Jill Johnson, who was attending a family wedding Monday, said via telephone that she, too, would like to see Rose step down.

“The main reason Martha needs to step aside is that she has lost the public’s trust,” Johnson said. “When you are a steward of public funds and accept a position where your job is to serve the public, and you break their trust, you have to step aside.

“No one individual is more important than the public’s trust.”

Price Johnson also gave a statement Monday saying that she is “upset by the terrible situation” and that the Transit board was “misinformed.” But she did not ask Rose to resign.

“It is concerning to me that this past year’s audit and outside CPA review failed to discover the deception,” Price Johnson said.

Both Price Johnson and Vaughan called for increased financial oversight and transparency in making financial documents available to the public.

Vaughan also called for a criminal investigation.

Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley said if he were in a position to make the decision, he would removed Rose from her job “in a heartbeat.”

“I’m all about accountability,” Dudley said. “If that were to happen here at the City of Oak Harbor, if the city dollars were that mismanaged, I would step down. The lack of financial forethought is appalling.”

If Rose does not step down of her own accord, her future is in the hands of the five-member Transit board,

which comprises Price Johnson, Vaughan, Clay, Jim Campbell and Jim Sundberg.

Campbell makes the second board member along with Vaughan who believes Rose should be removed.

“I think she’s lost credibility,” said Campbell, who is also an Oak Harbor city councilman. “I spent years of my life as a business manager. If it had gone belly up, I would expect to be fired.”

Clay and Sundberg both said they want to wait out the results of the audit before making a decision about Rose’s future.

“A lot of people are speculating and don’t have the whole picture,” Clay said. “I do hold Martha responsible for what happens there, but I’m not prepared to ask her for her job.”

The Transit board hired a financial analyst to replace fired Finance Manager Barbara Savary with an Aug. 16 start date.

Island Transit’s next regular business meeting will follow a public hearing on its Six-year Transit Development Plan at 9 a.m.

Friday, Aug. 22. n For more information, call 360-678-7771 or email atinfo@islandtransit.org

CALL CONTINUED FROM A1 been going on for years,” said Aubrey Vaughan, the appointed Island County commissioner. “She has accepted the responsibility, and it is time for her to do the honorable thing.

“It is not about personalities, it is not about egos and it is not about politics. It is about what is best for Island Transit and the people of

Island County.”

Rose said Monday that she has no intention of resigning and that she is eager to see the results of the investigation.

“I want to get to the end of the audit and see what happened,” Rose said.

Vaughan, who took office in June, gave a statement about the Island Transit con-
