Ex-finance dir. says Rose knew financial debacle was coming

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

The former Island Transit finance manager is defending her reputation after being fired and accused of finan-

cial mismanagement by the executive director.

Executive Director Martha Rose said she fired Barbara Savary in June after it was revealed that IT didn’t

have enough money to pay its bills.

Rose told the Whidbey News-Times that Savary did not properly communicate to her the agency’s money troubles and SEE ISLAND TRANSIT, A11

CLUB TAKES ALS CHALLENGE

n a tearful dedication, Norrie Perreault also made a lot of kids giddy with excitement.

Perreault, program director at the

Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor, joined unit director Nikki Barone Wednesday morning in announcing that the club was nominated to take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Familiar with the ALS awareness phe-

nomenon that features videotaped dousings of ice water, the large group of kids at the club naturally reacted with frenzied approval.

Mayor Scott Dudley is claiming that the Oak Harbor City Council violated the Open Public Meetings Act by getting together for a cocktail party last week.

“I think as elected officials we need to be aware of the appearance of impropriety,” Dudley said.

Six members of the city council, the city administrator, mayor and other staff attended a Municipal Finance Conference last Thursday and Friday in DUDLEY Leavenworth.

Councilman Rick Almberg, who owns a home in the area, invited the council and staff to a “wine and hors d’oeuvres session” after the conference Thursday.

Six council members, City Administrator Larry Cort, City Attorney Nikki Esparza, Finance Director Doug Merriman and ALMBERG some of their spouses attended.

Almberg said the mayor was also invited but declined.

The mayor said he was never formally invited.

Dudley said he doesn’t have a problem about the party per se, but rather with how Almberg went

IT’s 6-year plan built on hope for federal, state grants

Saturday, August 23, 2014 • Whidbey News-Times

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Jeff Waterdale questions the Island County Transit Board Friday about the agency’s expenses and revenues.

Where did the money go and what is Island Transit going to do about it?

That was the main question repeated by an angry crowd at the Island Transit board meeting Friday.

“You folks had a pile of money, and over a period of time, it was gone,” one resident said. “Why are you still here pretending to manage?”

The board approved its state-required Six-Year Transit Development Plan Friday before going into its regular meeting.

Board chairman Bob Clay appeared to struggle to maintain traditional meeting procedure as questions and answers flew between residents and board members.

Several attending said the six-year plan is unrealistic given IT’s financial situation.

It was unveiled in June that Island Transit had completely depleted its reserves after the completion of its new state-ofthe-art transit hub and didn’t have enough money to pay their bills. Several routes were cut or limited and 22 staffers laid off.

“I find this to be extremely optimistic,” said Transit Board member Jim Campbell of the plan. “Something can go to hell in a hand-basket real fast. We don’t have a plan if it fails.”

Executive Director Martha Rose assured the board and residents that federal and state grants will help the agency stabilize, but many voiced skepticism that her plan will pan out.

Rose said grant money will start to materialize in 2015.

That, she said, will “go a

long way in getting us back on track.”

At least one of those grants can’t be applied for until November and is not completely guaranteed, she said.

“What are the chances for actually getting (the grants)?”

Gary Ray asked. “Is this a pipe dream or is it realistic?”

“It’s very realistic,” Rose said.

Board member Jim Sundberg added that its possible Island Transit could be in better shape than what is currently projected.

“If we are more successful than we thought, we may be able to restore services sooner than we thought.”

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she wants to reopen the agency’s service cut decisions because the board was not allowed to provide direction.

Unincorporated parts of South Whidbey, which lay in her district, are “carrying the brunt” of the cuts, she said.

“I’m not comfortable about this,” Price Johnson said. “I don’t believe that we as a board have had those discussions on a policy level.”

Restoring cuts to paratransit service for the disabled is at the top of the agency’s list of priorities, Rose said.

Rose said she is working one-on-one with clients to ensure they get to critical appointments.

“We want them to get their services, and we’re bending as far back as we can,” Rose said.

Some board members said they were confused by the financial documents shared at the meeting.

“We’re getting so many different forms in so many different formats,” Clay said.

“It’s all confusing. I want something that doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out. That’s been part of the problem.”

Sundberg agreed that the board needed to focus on “summarizing data that makes it more clear for us and the public.”

While the board still does not have a clear picture of what happened, they are in the process of finding out.

“I don’t think the board is 100 percent aware of what’s going on,” Clay said. “The board was not made aware of the irregularities that have been uncovered. For a period of time, our expenses exceeded our revenue.

“How that was done, we don’t know.”

Rose maintains she was “not aware” of the financial problems.

Rose fired former finance manger Barbara Savary after the financial problems came to light.

Sandra Kuykendall, who preceded Savary in the role, returned recently to Island Transit.

“The whole budget process was misstated to the board and Martha,” Kuykendall said. “They were under an assumption that was not true.”

The state audit started last week and will continue for approximately 30 days, Clay said. He added that at the completion of the state audit, he would like the board to consider a forensic audit as well.

OH schools put routes online

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

School doesn’t start until Sept. 4, but the transportation department in the Oak Harbor School District is already really busy.

With registration for schools officially underway, the transportation department now has to build bus routes and make sure every child who will be riding the bus is in the system so they can make sure they get everyone.

This year, OHSD is launching a tool that will allow parents to look up bus routes and stop times online.

“I’m excited about it,” said Francis Bagarella, director of transportation. “I think as people use it, they’re going to be more and more excited about it.”

This tool, accessible on the district’s website under the “Families” tab, will enable parents to type in their address to discover their children’s route and the times the bus should reach their stop in the morning and afternoon.

“It should come up with a bus stop,” Bagarella said. “If it doesn’t, let me know.”

The online tool has been launched, but not every route is set yet, so not all the route information is available. Bagarella said they plan to officially launch the program just before Labor Day weekend.

“We know it’s not 100 percent perfect, we still got to do some tweaking to it,” Bagarella said.

“We’re always looking for feedback to how we can do

it better.”

Because this is a brand new program using a new system, there might be a few glitches, but Bagarella said that with any feedback, positive or negative, they can work to improve things.

The tool also allows parents to sign up for emergency notifications, such as changes to the route because of snow. Some regular stops wouldn’t be safely accessible for buses in the snow, so they have alternate stops for when that is an issue.

There is also an email option, for when parents have questions or concerns about the tool.

Parents are always welcome to call or drop by the department, Bagarella said, but in the first couple weeks of school, they’re really busy, and with only three people to answer the phones, he would prefer parents use the email option.

He said they’d respond within 24 hours, either to let the parents know of the solution, or to tell them it might take a few days and why, depending on the complexity of the issue.

“If we’re just adding another student to a stop, it really doesn’t change the bus time,” he said, “but say we have to add a new stop.

Well, that causes a domino affect and we have to let other parents know.”

Bagarella said that anyone entitled to bussing to school, which, according to state law, is outside of a one-mile radius around the school, should have a bus stop.

Man charged with child molestation

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

A Coupeville man was charged with first-degree child molestation last week, according to documents on file in Island County Superior Court.

Clyde Augustus McCarty, 67, was arrested and charged by the prosecutor’s office.

The alleged molestation occurred a year ago, but only revealed just this past month, according to court documents.

The alleged victim, a young child, told adults

that she had “touched privates” with another child, but that it was OK because McCarty had done the same to her, according to court documents.

The victim allegedly told police in an interview that McCarty told her not to tell anyone. She reportedly said that the incident only occurred once, according to court documents.

McCarty is scheduled to appear in for a court for a hearing on Sept. 15.

Trial for McCarty is currently scheduled for Oct. 28.

Francis Bagarella, transportation director for the Oak Harbor School District, points out the features of one of the new propane buses the district recently acquired.

Bagarella also said that if there’s room on the bus, he would be happy to try and let a student living within that one-mile radius, onto the bus.

“What I’ve always instructed the drivers to do, and this is very important: we don’t turn the kids away,” Bagarella said. “If they’re entitled to ride the bus, no problem. If they’re a walker, it’s on a space available, because I have to account for all the kids eligible to

ride, they have priority.

“We want to make sure the kids get on the bus and they get safely to where they’re going. We want to make it an enjoyable ride for everybody.” n For information, call the transportation department at 360-279-5570, or email the department through the the tool, located at http://oakharborps.schoolwires.net/domain/55

Marijuana business pulls permit application

By MEGAN HANSEN Co-Editor

One of two applicants for recreational marijuana-based businesses on Whidbey Island pulled their application this week.

Ester Bandelin Rodriguez said the Coupeville-based Salish Sea Industries is withdrawing its land-use permit because of federal regulation conflicts.

Rodriguez, along with Judy and Josh Harvey, and Mark Rodriguez, proposed to build a 3,833-square-foot barn for the production and processing of marijuana on Edgefield Lane off Engle Road.

The problem, Rodriguez said, was part of the property includes a conservation easement with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust.

“As there is a federal component to this easement, which provides little to no flexibility at present time, we simply do not wish to enter into a protracted legal battle with the federal government at taxpayer expense,” Rodriguez and her counterparts said in a pre-

pared statement.

Pat Powell, executive director for the Land Trust, said she notified Salish Sea Industries that the terms of the conservation easement would not allow them to do something that is in violation of federal law.

Powell said part of the $75,000 easement was paid for with federal funds.

“The Land Trust has no position on this issue,” she said. “We just have to make sure property owners comply with easement regulations.”

Proposed location for Salish Sea Industries lies within Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. County officials initially discussed limiting pot businesses from the area but didn’t after Coupeville farmers said they were against restrictions that would treat Central Whidbey different from other areas of the county.

While the permit was still in process, the public was invited to comment.

One resident wrote against the proposed

business, but Rodriguez said he was misinformed and thought all property within in the reserve was federally owned. In fact, she said, a large portion is privately owned.

While working on the permit application, Salish Sea Industries worked with Island County, the Land Trust and Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve.

“To our knowledge, we were in good standing with all of them,” Rodriguez said. “The only conflict we encountered was the easement.”

While not all of the proposed location is conservation easement, Salish Sea Industries cannot operate on the other portion of the property because the bordering property is zoned rural residential.

Per Island County Code, marijuana-based businesses cannot operate in rural-residential areas.

Another permit application still in processing is submitted by Maureen Cooke, who filed applications for a site plan and a build-

ing 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 in early August — though she didn’t have any product — but it turned out she didn’t have the necessary approvals from the county.

Cooke failed to return calls for comment this week.

A third Whidbey Island business, Bud Brothers, a proposed producer/processor business on Goldie Road in Oak Harbor, submitted a preapplication this month, .

“We’ve had several preapplication conferences and conversations with potential applicants that have yet to file for county approval, but at present, we have only three applications,” said Island County Planning Director David Wechner.

Wechner confirmed via email Tuesday that Salish Sea Industries withdrew its application.

Wechner said Bud Brothers has an appointment to turn in an application on Monday.

Transition program aiming to help students with disabilities

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

When it comes to schoolto-work programs, Mike Etzell and Diane Fesler have a unique perspective.

Etzell and Fesler both work with students ages 18 to 21 with developmental disabilities, helping them to transition into the workforce.

“We’re investing in all of those students going to school, and why would we stop after kids with special needs graduate?” Etzell said.

He works with the Developmental Disabilities Administration to help students ease their way into life after public education, whether into college or into a job.

Etzell said that it’s important for all students, with or without disabilities, to continue their education or join the workforce to become contributing members of the society.

It’s not only important to the county, he explained, but to the students and their families, as well.

“It is very clear that if you get folks jobs prior to leaving school, all of the outcomes for the next years are so much better.”

Fesler works as transition coordinator for the Oak Harbor School District.

She and a team of job coaches help teach students with developmental disabilities the skills for a job they’d enjoy, as well as the “soft skills,” as Etzell called them, of personal and social skills.

“This year, I have some students coming to me with very high-functioning autism who want to go on to college, but they’re not quite ready. … They may not have the personal, social skills or the confidence to access a college,” she said.

She said that the high school schedule these students have grown used to might not always be enough to transition into university, especially if students also need to work a part-time job while in school.

“We can be their support network to take them over to the college, get them signed up,” she said. “Some students who opt to do that take one course and do some job exploration and just see what that really feels like.”

Etzell and Fesler work with community partners to give jobs or internships to their students to help get them slowly acclimated to posthigh school life during those transition years. Sometimes their students can work as little as two hours a week at a job, learning how to adjust to the adult world, with job coaches who help them through the adjustment.

Their mantra is “Jobs by June,” and they plan to work with their students throughout the year to get them ready for that.

Examples of how they help include figuring out transportation from home to work, as they won’t have that school bus anymore. They also work on the different expec-

tations of appearance, from school to work, because the expectation of presentability is raised.

“If you’re expecting to have a job by June, or a job next year, this is the bar, and we’re not kidding,” Etzell said.

The two of them spend time out in the community, going to businesses to try to find jobs that would suit each student. Sometimes, they encounter employers eager for the opportunity, to the point where Fesler and her job coaches have to teach them to slow down, to establish boundaries and build the skills where needed.

Other times, employers who don’t have previous experience with developmentally disabled employees need to be coached through concerns of supervision and liability.

However, the lightbulb will eventually go on when the student, Etzell said, their family and the employer realize how good the job can be, for

NOW ENROLLING!

TODDLERS, PRESCHOOL, & KID’S CLUB

the families and for the business’s bottom line.

“If it doesn’t work for the business’s bottom line, then it’s not going to work longterm, so we want it to work for the businesses,” he said.

“We have a lot of those businesses who have kind of taken the risk and figured out that this is a huge positive for them as well as all of those employees.”

On Oct. 14, they are holding a “transition and resource fair,” Etzell said. There, families may apply for the developmental disabilities programs or commit to the Jobs

by June goal.

“Some families might say, ‘You know, we haven’t gotten anything from the state, why would we bother now?’”

Etzell said. “My response to that is, ‘If you don’t show up, then you won’t get anything.’”

He said that in order to qualify for the programs, generally there needs to be three areas of life function

that have been significantly delayed, but that eligibility is determined by the state.

According to the Department of Social and Health Services, these qualifications include “A disability attributable to intellectual disability; cerebral palsy; epilepsy; autism; or another neurological or other condition closely related to intellectual disability or that requires treatment similar to that required for individuals with intellectual disabilities.”

“It’s my belief, and I would hope that it’s everybody’s belief, that each individual in our society deserves to be able to … have a say in what they want their life to be, no matter how or what their disability might be,” Fesler said.

“That’s not who they are.” n The Resource and Transition Fair is 4:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14 at Oak Harbor High School. Contact Mike Etzeel at 360-678-7883 for information.

Tap into gratitude reserves, givw thanks for life on Whidbey FAITHFUL LIVING

By JOAN BAY KLOPE Abundance is not something we acquire.

It is something we tune into.

-- Wayne Dyer I see it everywhere this summer.

Do you? Abundance is all around, fueling my energies and enthusiasm.

Abundance swells my heart with gratefulness.

I’ve enjoyed 25 Whidbey summers and I recall a few that left me feeling just a bit cheated. Not this summer! We’ve been gifted with abundant amounts of sunshine, and that means living in capris and blouses, walking evening beaches without a winter jacket and drinking coffee out on the porch.

The abundant amount of sunshine has encouraged my rose bushes to blanket themselves in beauty. I walk out of my front door and the scent takes me back to my childhood and the year my future in-laws commemorated their 25th wedding anniversary with a Sterling Silver rose bush.

The plant thrived, and each time I walked past it I would thrust my nose deeply into those light purple petals and breathe in the distinctive fragrance.

This week, in the sum of one day, I thrilled at the abundance of wildlife that captured my attention. My first sighting included a doe and her baby, still covered in spots and eating quietly together in the wildlife area located between Skagit Valley Farmer’s Supply and Home Depot. With no other cars coming or going, I stopped mine momentarily and rolled down the window to not only get a better look but to talk to them. I love how they flick their ears and watch, before returning to their browsing.

Later that evening, I looked up from working in my office to watch our new masked friend ----- a young raccoon and this summer’s regular visitor — mosey around our deck in search of the bowl of cat food we keep out there.

As he artfully picked up each piece, a noisy Steller’s Jay called from a feeder, our cat watched without a care and our six Silver-laced Wyandotte hens dust bathed under the nearby rhododendron bush. I watched abundant cooperation and wished the world’s people could co-habitat with such ease.

Do you have apple trees or wild blackberry bushes nearby? They are producing abundantly this summer. While I must wait until fall to slice the apples for pie and press others for cider, the berries are dark and sweet and fit for eating right now. But beware!

If your vines are like mine, they are intertwined with Nootka wild roses and stinging nettle. Each outing I come back a bit scratched, sometimes stinging and always with purple fingertips, but it’s all part of living in the Pacific Northwest. I’m freezing some now so we can enjoy fresh blackberry crisp later this year when we are abundantly surrounded by winter’s chill.

I know. There is abundant traffic and delays due to road work.

There are abundant fuel bills as we motor throughout local waters to drop in our crab pots.

And there is abundant horror in various regions of the Middle East where we are learning about radical religious groups who are raping and beheading their own people in the name of religious domination and political control.

Should we feel guilty about our simple abundance? I say no. Instead, let’s tap into our reserves of gratitude for all we have here, cover our Navy personnel carrying out missions far away with prayer and support and live well here on Whidbey. n Joan Bay Klope can be reached at faithfulliving@hotmail. com

IN OUR OPINION

With all trust in IT gone, director needs to exit now We had hoped by now that the executive director of Island Transit would either have tendered her resignation, or the IT board of directors would have removed her from the key position.

Neither has happened, and the decision-makers say they’re waiting for the results of a state audit before making any such decisions.

Meanwhile, trust in the taxpayer–funded transit agency and its current leadership has eroded well past the point of return.

This week, the finance director who was blamed for the mess that IT finds itself in now has stepped forward to try to repair her reputation.

Executive Director Martha Rose was repeatedly informed of the impending financial collapse, and opted to ignore warnings, claims Barbara Savary, who issued her statement after consulting with an attorney.

“I repeatedly informed (Rose) that changes and cuts needed to be implemented to avoid the exact situation that now befalls Island Transit.”

Rose was also aware the agency was drawing on its investment reserves to cover expenses, Savary said in her statement.

At this point, regardless of what the audit finds, it is clear that all confidence in Rose’s abilities to manage IT is near nonexistent, much like the tread of an overused tire.

Meanwhile, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who serves on IT’s board, appears to be trying to both distance herself from the mess while — kinda — demanding answers.

As a steward of taxpayer money, we would hope that Commissioner Price Johnson would be delivering answers about what she saw during the period of time leading up to IT’s financial collapse instead of clamming up for legal reasons.

We would like to see determined leadership from the commissioner and others on the transit board.

They should demand that Rose do the right thing for IT’s future and step aside now.

This mess is not going to disappear In this day and age, trust in government leadership is a fragile thing. Until Martha Rose is gone, there can be no mending of the critical relationship between the citizens of Island County and Island Transit.

The long road to rebuilding that trust needs to begin sooner than later.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Election

Consider newcomer in state House race Editor, In case you hadn’t noticed, there is a newcomer to the state political scene who finished second in the primary race for state representative in the 10th Legislative District.

His name is Nick Petrish.

Nick is a third-generation activist who grew up in Anacortes and now lives on Big Lake. He is a pro-labor Democrat who is a hunter, believes in responsible gun ownership, and has many new and creative ideas on how to deal with the problems facing our state.

Nick believes that people who work hard and play by the rules deserve a fair shot at the American dream.

Nick’s concrete proposals are in stark contrast to the tepid record of his incumbent opponent Dave Hayes.

Further highlighting this difference, Nick Petrish has been endorsed by his other Republican opponent, Brian Lillquist.

In his endorsement, Lillquist emphasized the importance of having a representative who will actually do some-

thing.

I urge you to check out Nick Petrish and, regardless of your political party, consider voting for him as someone who will work for the people of the 10th Legislative District.

Thank you for your consideration.

Art Huffine Oak Harbor

Humbled by support of those who voted Editor, I would like take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Island County who voted for me in the primary election to retain my seat as Island County treasurer.

I am humbled by the trust and support given to me by the citizens of Whidbey and Camano Islands.

I do not and will not ever take my position as the Island County treasurer lightly. This is a position of trust, and the citizens have shown their trust in me by casting the largest amount of votes out of the three opponents in this race in my name. I pledge to never let you down.

I am proud to be a citizen of Island County.

I have and will continue to work for the people by keeping the programs I have started through my office: online services to those unable to come into the office, processing tax payments in a timely manner with the help of volunteers, the 2015 budget has a computer and software program budgeted, allowing Camano residents to pay their taxes at the Camano Annex.

I will keep giving to the citizens of Island County as they have given to me in the past and future.

My trust and my word are paramount to the Island County treasurer’s office.

I am privileged to be your treasurer and will work hard to keep your confidence in my abilities.

Ana Maria d Nuñez Island County Treasurer/Incumbent

If you want the best, cast votes for Nuñez Editor, I have been a citizen of Oak Harbor for over 30 years of my life. I follow Island County politics very closely because it affects us all. I personally know the current Island County SEE LETTERS, A7

Transit

‘Whining’ won’t stop Growler booster Editor, Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve “spokeswoman” Ann Adams apparently thinks her whining, published Aug. 20, could throttle me back.

Nope.

My sortie was intended to lift Island Transit staff spirits.

I also felt instinctively that, if deciding on which bailout, our federal and state politicians should prioritize evacuating those who, according to the

Island County planning director, in December, bought property based on a “Form 22W” lacking “both required disclosure statements, nor cite applicable county code.”

I salute Judy Gremmel’s efforts in this regard and ask fellow supporters of Outlying Field Coupeville to please share my gratitude.

But, I disapprove of Gremmel’s opposition to more EA-18Gs as a distraction from a noble cause to get folks supposedly “trapped” and “persecuted” “out from under the jets.”

That said, why evacuate “trapped” and “persecuted” folks instead of a new OLF? As per May 2013 NAS Whidbey community leaders meeting minutes: “Admiral Rich … stated that it would be exceptionally challenging to acquire a new OLF both financially and environmentally additionally; it would take a very long time, likely

I Love Coupeville Portrait

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Treasurer Ana Maria d Nuñez, and I strongly endorse Nuñez for Island County treasurer.

Nuñez’s safeguarding of taxpayer dollars and wise investment portfolio is helping Island County through the toughest financial times our country has seen in over 75 years.

I am proud of the achievements and positive changes Nuñez has made during her time in office. She continually listens to her staff and the citizens to enhance the office, making changes for improved service to the public and county offices.

Her education and experience as a CPA and a master in accounting and financial management provide her with the abilities to work and lead one of the accounting offices in the county.

Nuñez is the kind of person who inspires confidence in our local government.

Other U.S. Navy sources I dialogue with confirm this reality.

Therefore, if alleging OLF Coupeville is harmful, why wait “likely over 10 years” for an “exceptionally challenging” OLF replacement instead of demanding compensation to evacuate an area with aviation easements surrounding an OLF Coupeville bouncing jets since 1967 that’s part of Whidbey’s soundscape?

I impugn political strategy, not audiology. Oh, and while impugning political strategy, I too share the public discomfort with the pusillanimous zilch public condemnation of the Town of Coupeville and Coupeville Chamber of Commerce leaders regarding COER’s malicious conduct in Coupeville’s name against the U.S. Navy and, now, Island Transit.

OBITUARIES

Santella

Cecile A. Brewer Santella Cecile A. Brewer Santella of Oak Harbor died Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014, at the age of 101.

Mrs. Santella was born in Northbridge, Mass., Oct. 26, 1912, one of seven children of the late Adelard and Marie Rose (Provencal) Bazinet.

She was raised in the Fisherville section of South Grafton, Mass.

At the age of 16, she went to work as a weaver at the Fisher Woolen Mill in Fisherville, where she worked until her marriage to Homer A. Brewer in 1934. The family then moved to Millbury, Mass.

After Mr. Brewer died in 1948, Cecile was forced to return to work in order to support her four children.

She took a very hazardous job as a machine operator at New England Plating, a chrome plating company in Worcester, Mass., where she worked until 1958.

At the age of 47, she returned to school, receiving her certification as a licensed practical nurse, and began work at the former Grafton State Hospital in North Grafton, Mass.

In 1961, she married Nicola Santella and moved to Marlborough, Mass., where she lived until her retirement in 1968.

Following retirement, she and Nick moved to Deltona, Fla. After Mr. Santella died in 1993, she remained in Deltona until 2002, when she moved to Oak Harbor to live with her son, Paul, and his wife, Flo. When Mrs. Santella celebrated her centennial and was asked how she had lived so long, she replied, “Hard work never killed anybody.”

She especially enjoyed word-find puzzles, playing

bingo, and watching her favorite TV game shows, “The Price Is Right” and “Wheel of Fortune,” all of which helped her keep a sharp mind. She was a member of St. Augustine’s Catholic Church in Oak Harbor.

She leaves a son, Master Chief Petty Officer Paul F. Brewer, USN (Ret.), and his wife, Florence G. (Garcia) Brewer of Oak Harbor; a daughter, Ann C. Malin of Citrus Springs, Fla.; 16 grandchildren; 34 great-grandchildren; 11 great-great-grandchildren; and nephews and nieces.

In addition to her parents and her two spouses, she was predeceased by two sons, Homer A. Brewer of Sutton, Mass., and Norman J. Brewer of Deltona; three sisters, Clara Spadea, Blanche Bergantine and Irene Pearson; and three brothers, Arthur, George and Paul Bazinet.

A funeral mass was celebrated on Thursday, Aug. 21, at St. Brigid’s Catholic Church in Millbury, Mass.

Burial followed in St. Brigid’s Cemetery.

Massachusetts arrangements were carried out by Turegon Funeral Home.

1930, in Brooklyn, N.Y., to Herman and Pauline Keeva.

Joe was raised in Los Angeles.

Following high school, he attended college and obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree.

Joe was very active in the Coupeville Museum, working very hard to preserve the historical buildings in Coupeville and the San DeFuca School House. He loved playing golf, and he loved animals.

Joe is survived by two daughters, Susan Keeva and Debra Keeva, and son Daniel Keeva.

He was preceded in death by his eldest son Steven Keeva and the love of his life, his wife Sally HaytonKeeva in 2004.

when she met the man of her dreams on a blind date set up by her niece.

In a whirlwind romance with Stanley R. Reed, they were married just 3 1/2 months later, a beautiful marriage that lasted until Irene went to be with the lord nearly 59 years later.

Irene and Stan had two children, Stanley E. Reed (Denise) and Anita L. Reed (Theresa), both of Oak Harbor; two grandchildren, Brandon (Sara) of Coupeville and Nathan of Wittman, Ariz; and two great-grandchildren, Sage and Logan of Coupeville.

Having been a 20-year Navy wife as well as from a very large family, Irene leaves behind three brothers, five sisters, their families and many, many great friends from all over our great country.

Irene was an excellent homemaker and enjoyed cooking and family. She always had goodies ready, and her grandsons knew they could always go to grandmas for a snack or a meal.

At Irene’s request, no funeral/memorial services will be held, and in lieu of flowers, kindly make a donation to the diabetes or heart fund, and maybe we can beat these terrible diseases sometime in the future.

OHHS graduate plays in Everett

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

It is a homecoming of sorts for 2011 Oak Harbor High School graduate Yale Rosen.

Rosen and his Eugene Emerald teammates are playing a five-game series in Everett this week. Everett is as close to home as Rosen will get during his first year of professional baseball.

The final game of the series is 7:05 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at Everett Memorial Stadium.

Rosen, who was drafted out of Washington State University in the 11th round

by San Diego last spring, found out Thursday that his initial year of pro ball will not end when Eugene completes its schedule Sept. 1. He is one of a handful of minor league players in the San Diego farm system selected to play in the fall Instructional League in Arizona.

Being picked is a good sign for Padre prospects. It means the organization sees potential in the player and is willing to spend more time and money to develop that talent.

The Instructional League begins in mid-September and concludes Nov. 15.

Rosen enjoys playing for Eugene, the Padres’ shortseason “A” team.

“It’s a great bunch of guys,” Rosen said. “It makes coming to work a lot easier.”

Rosen is also happy with his progress as a player.

He has appeared in 47 of the Emeralds’ 66 games, hitting .253 (38-for-150) with 10 doubles (third on the team), five home runs (third), 26 RBI (third) and 22 walks (second).

He primarily plays left field, has five assists and is the only regular without an error.

In the opening game of the Everett series Tuesday, Rosen ripped three hits, including a home run, and drove in three runs in a 9-4 win.

Wednesday he walked three times in a 3-1 loss, then he singled in a run in an 8-4 win Thursday.

Results of Friday’s game were not available at press time.

“I’m not concerned about statistics,” Rosen said, noting growth is the key. “The game is hard enough without worrying about stats.”

He is soaking in what the Eugene Emerald coaching staff is trying to teach.

“There is no reason not to,” Rosen said.

Manager Robbie Wine, hitting coach Homer Bush and pitching coach Nelson Cruz all played in the major leagues; therefore, they have instant credibility, Rosen said.

The staff knows what it takes to play at the highest level and understands what

This free event is open to boys and girls up to 13 years old, and a parent

young players are going through in the minor leagues, Rosen added.

Rosen, 21, likes the compact schedule, which is heavy on games and light on practice.

“I like the games. That’s what we play for, right?”

He also enjoys playing every day because it gives him the opportunity to quickly redeem himself after a poor performance.

“You can flush it and move on,” Rosen said.

Rosen, who has been greeted by a steady stream of friends, family and fans during his games in Everett, is sticking around Everett in his off hours. He could journey up to Oak Harbor but said he wants to stay focused.

He will also not return home during the 10-day break between the end of Eugene’s season and the beginning of the Instructional League.

Instead, Rosen will head back to WSU to take advantage of its training facilities to stay sharp before taking off for Arizona.

“There is plenty of time for that (returning to Oak Harbor) later,” Rosen said.

Now is the time to impress the San Diego organization with his effort, work ethic and dedication, he said.

Kay Parsons spends a little time every day in her garden tending to plants such as dahlias. Parsons is one of 32 artists featured in the Whidbey Working Arts Summer Art Tour this weekend and next.

Gardenful of ideas

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Although Kay Parsons’ colorful perennial garden is the primary source of inspiration for her watercolor paintings, one of her favorite features in her garden isn’t a plant at all.

“You see Miss Spot?”

Parsons asks, pointing to ripples in the water of a large backyard pond in Oak Harbor. “She’s very busy.”

Parsons, one of the organizers of the Whidbey Working Artists Summer Art Tour that starts this weekend across the island, has been busy, too.

Aside from her paintings, and getting her home studio in order for the self-guided tour that goes from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Aug. 23-24, and

again Aug. 29-31, Parsons has been busy helping to promote the free tour that features 32 artists this summer in studios from Oak Harbor to Freeland.

A graphic artist, Parsons created the glossy tour brochures and posters that are scattered throughout the island. She raves about Whidbey’s rich artist community and the opportunity to get an up-close look at the sculptors, potters, painters and others that represent the tour.

“You get to see the creative process in action,” she said.

Parsons’ own creative process is ignited by a simple trip outside into her garden on the three-quarters acre property she shares with her spouse Diane Cheek in Oak

Art Tour Thirty-two artists are being featured in the Whidbey Working Artists Summer Art Tour, which is taking place this weekend, Aug. 23-24, and Aug. 29-31 in studios and other sites from Oak Harbor to Freeland.

There are 18 stops on the self-guided tour, which runs daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For a map of participant locations, go to www.whidbey workingartists.com

Even in late August, the garden is lush with deciduous trees and thriving perennials in bloom. It includes an arbor covered with grape vines, plate-sized dahlias,

Miss Spot, a 14-year-old koi, is a little skittish around visitors but seems to know when Kay Parsons is nearby. Parsons’ garden serves as an inspiration for her watercolor paintings. lilies and her favorite, a tall Eskimo Sunset Sycamore Maple.

“I like dirt,” Parsons said.

“I come from a farming background. I enjoy dirt about as much as I enjoy the

paint.”

It is here where Parsons draws inspiration for her art.

Her watercolor paintings are large, such as 4 feet by 6 feet, and feature scenes from her garden.

It is in her garden where she visits a dear friend that makes her smile on a daily basis, Miss Spot.

ISLAND TRANSIT CONTINUED FROM A1 nal $6.2 million was used to cover budgetary shortcomings, with another $5 million that she claims was used to finish the new transit facility and purchase new vehicles.

“These expenditures were published in the budget and approved by Ms. Rose,” Savary said in her letter.

“I explained to Ms. Rose that, without a change in practices, our reserves would be completely depleted by May 2013.”

Island Transit’s investments were at zero as of July and Island Transit had to obtain a $1.5 million bond to raise the necessary match and for operating costs.

Savary said Rose initially asked her to take a demotion, but then Savary decided to give her two-week’s notice.

During her last two weeks at IT, Savary claimed Rose asked her to stay on, but she declined. Then, before completion of her final two weeks at the transit center, Savary said she was handed a termination letter by Rose and was denied her accrued vacation pay.

Savary also counters Rose’s claim that she left unpaid bills in her desk upon her departure.

“There is no basis for making this statement,” Savary wrote. “I have never knowingly put invoices in

my desk. Following my departure, I was contacted on several occasions by Island County staff for assistance on various issues.

Never once was I asked about invoices found in my desk.”

Rose “created liability” for Island Transit when she made false statements, Savary alleges in her letter, adding she has met with lawyers. She didn’t say whether she intends to sue her former employer.

Savary could not be reached by press time for additional comment.

Rose said Tuesday that she hadn’t read Savary’s letter and would not comment.

Lydia Ferguson, who drove a bus for Island Transit for 15 years until April, said she has a hard time believing Rose wasn’t aware of the agency’s finances.

“There was nothing, not one penny, that Martha didn’t know about,” Ferguson said. “She was very much in control of everything and anything that happened at Island Transit.”

Ferguson, an Oak Harbor resident for 25 years, said she left Island Transit by her own choice, but experienced some health issues and was using her Family Medical Leave Act time prior to making a decision to not return.

Ferguson concedes she wasn’t close with most of the office staff, but said she saw and heard what was hap-

QUORUM CONTINUED FROM A1 about it.

“I have been to Rick’s house and other social gatherings,” Dudley said. “That’s not the issue.”

According to the Open Meetings Act, a public notice must be issued when a quorum or majority of council members meet to discuss public business.

With the council comprised of seven members, a quorum is created when four are present.

Almberg said the conference was advertised as a quorum and that the city officials didn’t go to his home to conduct official business.

“The chatter was really about our budget workshops and the conference,” Almberg said.

“It’s been advertised that we are together, in my mind the little get-together wasn’t in violation of the open meetings law.”

Cort said that social gatherings are one of the few things that are “specifically exempted” from the Open Meetings Act. However, he said just about everyone takes a very conservative view on that statute.

“There can’t be any discussion of city business.

“If I hear even the start of a conversation on public business, I step in and say, ‘This is over,’” Cort said.

Cort said conversations he observed at

the Leavenworth social gathering never ventured toward city business, but was mostly about the Leavenworth area, hikes that party-goers had taken, shops in town and where to meet for breakfast the next morning.

“We take very seriously our efforts to work in an open and ethical manner,” Cort said. “I’m pretty wary of this issue.”

Dudley said there’s no way to truly know if city business was discussed during the party, and that the public has a right to know if there’s a possibility it could occur whenever there is a quorum.

“When you have a decision-maker calling a meeting, hosting a gathering at their house, out of town, and you have a quorum, does it raise some eyebrows? Absolutely,” Dudley said.

“They say no business was discussed.

But how do we know that?

“An ethical council member would have said, I realize how this may look, let’s post it or, better yet, don’t have a quorum of city council members at your house out of town.”

“We need to hold ourselves to a higher standard.”

Almberg said the assertions are “another Mayor Dudley throwing everyone else under the bus.”

pening.

“I simply don’t understand how (Rose) can say that she wasn’t aware,” Ferguson said. “It was Martha’s way or the highway.”

Ferguson also said she believes Rose had good intentions.

“I think her heart’s in the right place,” Ferguson said. “She just wanted so much for it, she forgot about what’s right and wrong.”

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who serves on the transit board of directors, said she was advised

Page A11

by legal council not to comment on the “possible litigation” when asked to comment on Savary’s letter.

Finding out what happened is important, and she looks forward to the results of the audit, Price Johnson said.

“My main focus is moving forward — correcting the structural deficiencies, restoring Island Transit’s fiscal health and preserving this vital service for our community,” Price Johnson said via an email.

“I am saddened that Ms. Rose has opted to publish

false statements with knowledge of their falsehood in what is apparently a desperate attempt to retain her own job,” Savary said in her letter.

“I’m am truly sorry it has come to this, but I cannot silently accept blame when it is not due.”

Island Transit has a $12 million operating budget and is an independent, taxpayer-funded agency overseen by a board of directors.

It offers fare-free transit and is funded by a nine-tenths of 1 percent sales tax and grants.

was pulling from investment reserves secretly to cover expenses.

As a result of money problems, staffing and route cuts were implemented.

Not true, Savary said this week.

Savary said she warned Rose that Island Transit was headed for a shortfall, but that her concerns were routinely ignored.

“Over the course of the last few years, I became increasingly uncomfortable with decisions made at Island Transit and the affect these decisions were having on the budget,” Savary said in a letter released after consulting with an attorney.

“I repeatedly informed (Rose) that changes and cuts needed to be implemented to avoid the exact situation that now befalls Island Transit.”

Savary said she was already “looking for other opportunities” when the budget shortfall was made public.

Rose was also aware the agency was drawing on its investment reserves to cover expenses, said Savary.

Island Transit obtained an $18 million federal grant for the new facility that was completed this year, and needed to come up with $4.4 million in matching funds.

Savary claims that only about $1 million of the origi-

After getting word out to parents as quickly as possible and securing enough buckets and ice for a thorough soaking, the challenge was met Thursday in the parking lot in front of the Roller Barn.

About 40-50 screaming kids, along with Boys & Girls Club staff members, experienced the thrill and chill of the social media craze invented less than a month ago that has since gone viral.

The Whidbey Island Rollergirls, who play their home matches in the Roller Barn, set the course of actions in motion when they targeted the Boys & Girls Club with the Ice Bucket Challenge, giving the club 24 hours to respond or pay up to the ALS cause.

To avoid payment, those challenged must get immersed with a bucket of ice water, videotape it and post it to social media with an announcement of the next target.

Started July 29 as a way to increase awareness and raise money toward ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, the phenomenon has raised more than $53 million through Thursday, compared to $2.2 million during that same time frame a year ago.

Often, those who take the challenge donate to the cause anyway. Parents of Boys & Girls Club members each were asked to contribute $2.

At last count Friday, the club raised $255, Barone said.

Amber Grogan, whose son, Paxton, 7, participated, didn’t mind at all.

“I think it’s totally great,” she said of the idea.

“I read about it online.

I was so glad. It’s just so cool.”

Buckets provided by The Home Depot and ice from Arby’s restaurant contributed to the success, Barone said.

Perreault announced that the next targets of the Ice Bucket Challenge were all units of the Boys & Girls Club of Snohomish County, Oak Harbor’s Les Schwab Tire Center and Chicago Title.

The idea has been contagious in Oak Harbor with several succumbing to ice water dousings, including Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kathy Reed and Oak Harbor Schools board president Christine Cribb.

Oak Harbor police chief Ed Green was scheduled to take the challenge Friday afternoon.

At the Roller Barn, it was a bittersweet occasion for Perreault, who told the kids in an emotional announcement Wednesday that they were dedicating the challenge to Heather DeLeon, who’s moving out of state next month after spending three years as part of the Boys & Girls Club staff. She said she wanted to do something DeLeon and her children would remember.

“We wanted to do something special for them,” Perreault said.
