Freedom of speech riles some downtown By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

A man exercising his First Amendment rights is ruffling feathers in downtown Coupeville. In response to multiple complaints about a truck with political signs parked downtown all day Sunday, Town of Coupeville officials issued a public notice saying the signs weren’t against the law and there isn’t anything they can do. The owner of the truck and signs, Ken Pickard, said his messages are a way to dispel the myth and generate dialogue about what the Navy is really doing to the citizens and the community with the use of the touch-and-go field for jets near Coupeville. The noise from the EA-18G Growlers has become controversial over the last year

Brian Richmond, an Alaska Airlines pilot, gets his radio controlled plane ready to go with his son Alex at the Outlying Field Coupeville during an event called ‘Jets over Whidbey’ Saturday. The turbine engine jets can exceed 200 mph. ‘It’s more exciting,’ Richmond said, comparing it to real flying. ‘You can make these low passes and pull straight up. The full-scale flying is just so disciplined. With that being said, it’s still a kick.’

Attention to detail nabs Radio Control car thief Society takes By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

flight at OLF

Coupeville Marshal Rick Norrie’s attention to odd details led to the apprehension of a suspected car thief and burglar last weak. Norrie was on routine patrol Aug. 17 when he noticed a disheveled man slumped on the steering wheel of a Mercedes Benz SUV parked on the front lawn of a home inside the Terry Mobile Home Park, according to a report by Lt. Mike Hawley with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. Norrie rapped on the car window, but the man just looked up groggily and laid his head back down on the steering wheel. He contacted the resident of the home,

Brian Richmond has spent 25 years as a pilot for Alaska Airlines. But last Saturday, he stood near the air strip at the Outlying Field in Coupeville and was at the controls of a model airplane. He was there for the 24th annual “Jets over Whidbey” event, put on by the Whidbey Island Radio Control Society. He couldn’t stay for a second day. He needed to get to SeaTac to fly a Boeing 737 to Orlando, Fla., Sunday. “I think I was 6 years old when I started flying radio-controlled stuff,” said Richmond, who lives in Gig Harbor. “I’m 55 now and I’ve

been flying these things 49 years, which is a long time. I just absolutely loved these airplanes and was fascinated by it. “Naturally, I just wanted to be a pilot.” Richmond and his son Alex were among 27 registered pilots flying radio-controlled planes under blues skies at OLF Saturday. The Navy allows the Whidbey Island Radio Control Society to use the airstrip during times when jets from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station aren’t flying. Navy jet activity canceled the first day of the model airplane event Friday. About 60 people attended Saturday to watch the little planes whiz by and perform the sort of maneuvers one sees at air shows. “We’re airplane cuckoos,” said Everett’s

John Rogalski, who came with his friend Jeff Nikolaidis. “Both of us are docents at the Historic Flight Foundation in Mukilteo. “We’ve been inoculated with the airplane virus.” Two types of model aircraft were on display — electric-ducted fan jets and true turbine engine jets. The planes range in price from $5,000 to $23,000, according to Tom Berry, the event coordinator. An operator needs a waiver from the Academy of Model Aeronautics to fly a true turbine engine jet and isn’t supposed to fly the plane in excess of 200 mph.

Fish and wildlife protections delayed By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

A farmer’s right to maintain drainage ditches without regulation was at the core of Monday’s debate on fish and wildlife protections at Monday’s Island County commissioner meeting. Unable to reach consensus, Island County commissioners delayed adopting the document and agreed to revisit the discussion during their Sept. 3 work session and Sept. 8 regular meeting. At the core of their debate is the need to adopt the government-mandated regulations without creating obstacles for farms within critical areas. Under the current draft, farmers with drainage ditches that are categorized as regulated streams would be required to go through an expensive process of permitting and inspection to perform basic ditch maintenance. “It would put us out of

business,” said Daryl VanderPool, owner of Maxwelton Farm. “We would be done.” Several farmers Monday urged the commissioners to revisit the requirements that would affect the island’s farming community. “This was a poorly drafted ordinance before it got to you,” Ray Gabelein said. “You’re going to have to do a lot of work on it to get it where it needs to be.” Christine Williams said that all the farms on Whidbey are connected, and placing undue restrictions on some of the farms would affect the entire “web of farming” negatively. “I really think we need to be very careful,” Williams said. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson tried to gain support for an across-theboard exemption for ditch maintenance on existing and ongoing farm operations but failed to gain traction.

“Clearly there’s confusion about what is there,” Price Johnson said. “I share the concern.” Planner Brad Johnson said he believes that such an exemption would run afoul of the Growth Management Act requirements, which the county is striving to meet. “My understanding of the GMA requirements is that we are supposed to be balancing these interests,” Price Johnson responded. Commissioner Jill Johnson said that exempting regulated streams in agricultural areas would be against the spirit of state Fish and Wildlife regulations. “What this whole exercise is about is the protection of fish and wildlife,” Johnson said. “Although this is not how the generation before us farmed, this is the new world that we’re living in now. And one of the expectations is that we are not going to engage in behavior that causes known environmental harm.” When you talk about some of these ditches that are also streams, that is going to be an area of conflict.”

Before their next discussion, commissioners directed staff to more clearly define “regulated stream” to clarify for farmers who would be affected by the regulation. While farmers took issue with the ditch regulations, members of the Whidbey Environmental Action Network said that the findings of fact and the updated ordinance fall short of its goal to protect fish and wildlife. “These are not findings; they are justification for not doing the right thing,” said Marianne Edain of WEAN. The group challenged the county’s wetland regulations previously to the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board. If necessary, Edain said WEAN will do it again. “We don’t want to have to go back to the Hearings Board,” Edain said. “We’re going to be back all over this.” If the commissioners make substantive changes to the regulations, a third public hearing would be scheduled.

Former Island Transit finance manager tells her side By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

The former Island Transit finance manager is defending her reputation after being fired and accused of financial mismanagement at the agency. 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 said Savary did not properly communicate to her the agency’s money troubles and was dipping into investment reserves secretly to cover expenses. As a result of money problems, staffing and route cuts were implemented. Not true, Savary said last 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 effect 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, Savary said. Island Transit obtained an $18 million federal grant for the new facility, which was completed this year, and needed to come up with $4.4 million in matching funds. Savary claims only about $1 million of the original $6.2 million was used to cover budgetary shortcomings, and another $5 million, 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 operating costs. Savary said Rose initially asked her to take a demotion, which she accepted, 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 Labor Day Sale Saturday & Sunday August 30-31

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 for additional comment. Rose said last Tuesday 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 happening. “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 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 fis-

cal 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 taxpayerfunded agency overseen by a board of directors.

viewpoints

Truck signs are protected speech Coupeville resident Ken Pickard is pretty good at getting folks riled up. And he has every right to do so. He’s been outspoken over a variety of issues over the years, from environmental and development issues to the Big Rock. He’s rarely been known to pull his punches and can be outrageous at times. Most recently, Pickard got some people mad by parking his truck covered with protest signs on Front Street. He is a member of the group Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, which is critical of the noise caused by the Growler jets as they practice landing and taking off at the Outlying Field near Coupeville. Pickard’s signs say things like, “Navy intentionally injures citizens physically, mentally, financially.” To most people, such assertions are simply ridiculous, to say the least. Some people are rightfully outraged. The thing is, there may be a method to Pickard’s madness. By playing the provocateur, he’s getting people to talk about an issue he wants people to talk about. And it works. The trouble is that outlandish tactics often turn off people who might otherwise be sympathetic to a viewpoint. That’s not to suggest that Pickard doesn’t believe the things he says or writes. Only he knows if he really believes that the Navy intentionally hurts people. Whatever his method, he has a right say what he thinks. And the Town of Coupeville was correct in not trying to silence him, despite complaints. As critics of COER have pointed out, the men and women who fly those Growlers are putting their lives on the line to preserve freedoms that include the First Amendment. Free speech can be hard to take sometimes. Which is why it is written into the Constitution in unambiguous language. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Navy pandering is the problem, not solution Editor, I sent the following to Nancy Conard: Hello Nancy, As one who saw the sign referenced in your news release of Aug. 26, 2014, I appreciate that you are correct to stand up for this citizen’s right to free speech. However, to link it to Tea Party signs defacing President Barack Obama is reprehen-

sible. If you were looking for a comparable, an appropriate choice would have been the ProOLF signs that cavalierly support Growlers over the horrific impacts of their noise on Whidbey Island families and children. That near-slur in your news release seems to me cleverly intended to besmirch and discredit the growing body of citizens highly concerned about the certain effects of jet noise on health and quality of life. I suggest that you owe these citizens an apology for denigrating their difficult and admirable efforts to take on this arduous cause

for thousands of us in the region detrimentally affected by jet noise. They/we need your help, and I suggest that you may benefit from doing a bit more soul-searching about that, keeping in mind that Navy pandering is the problem, not the solution. And also please consider that the message is morphing with new and certain understanding that the sound of freedom unchecked has become the sound of abuse.

Mobile butcher to serve island farmers By Justin Burnett South Whidbey Record

Greg Gilles is known throughout South Whidbey as a respected homebuilder. But there’s a secret about the Maxwelton man that many may not know. His calloused hands and permanently bent index finger aren’t just from swinging a hammer — it’s from years of holding a knife. A fifth-generation butcher from Evansville, Ind., Gilles was strapping on a tool belt of metal and chain long before he ever picked up one filled with nails and tape measures. On his resume are positions at five state and federally inspected plants, such as Oberto’s in Seattle. In as soon as two weeks, he’ll be dusting off those knives and slicing into South Whidbey agriculture. Gilles and his son, Nathan, are on the verge of opening 7 Generations Artisan Meats, a home-based butcher business serving Whidbey Island. Nathan Gilles is sixth-generation, and his son, 5-year-old Liam, makes seven. “We’re all really excited about it,” Greg Gilles said. 7 Generations Artisan Meats won’t fit the image of the historical corner butcher shop, as it’s not certified by the United States Department of Agriculture for direct sales of unprocessed meats. In other words, one can’t swing by the store and pick up a steak or ribs for dinner. They can, however, sell processed meats such as sausage. When it comes to links, Gilles knows his stuff. They will offer 33 different prod-

ucts, from French, Italian, Polish and Irish sausages to smoked Hungarian links and salamis, and a few recipes from the family book. These are gourmet-quality products, meant to rival high-end shops in Pike Street Market, but with real-world prices, Gilles said. “I don’t want to be in the food business unless the average person can afford to buy our products ... it’s not a luxury item,” he said. But direct sales are only one part of the business model. 7 Generations will also offer mobile butchering services to island farmers, and they’ll be the only Whidbey-based company to do so. Mount Vernon-based butchers offer the same service and are utilized by many Whidbey farmers, but they can be busy and scheduling a visit can be a month away, said Karen Bishop, director of the Whidbey Conservation Island District. “There’s a great opportunity for beef,” she said. Leland Long, of Long Family Farm, is located a few miles down the road from the Gilles’ and confirmed he will likely be a customer. His regular off-island butcher does a good job, but 7 Generations is local, and supporting Whidbey businesses is important, Long said. “It’s a great deal,” Long said. “I’m all for it and will use them when I can.” According to Bishop, the businesses will be a big lure for smaller operations, farms or families with one or two animals, such as sheep. The benefit is that a local and mobile butcher will come out for a single animal, where NORA DURAND

The Gilles’ have outfitted a refrigerated truck to provide the service, which will be primarily manned by Nathan Gilles. His father will run the shop, with the help of his wife, Susan Gilles, and, of

course, Liam. It may be a few years before he’s putting in long hours like his dad and grandfather, but he’s guaranteed an apron. “He’s pretty excited about it,” said a proud Greg Gilles. “He said, ‘Poppy, I get to run the hot dog-making machine.’” Finally, the shop will

process wild game for South Whidbey’s hunting community. They can’t accept poultry, but deer, elk and other big game are welcome. It’s expected to be a big part of the business. For more information, visit www.7generations-arti san-meats.com

Coupeville athletic teams begin play in new league By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Coupeville High School begins a new era in athletics this fall when it shifts from the Cascade Conference to the Olympic League. Coupeville left the Cascade Conference to find a more equitable situation. It is the smallest 1A school in the state, and the Cascade Conference, a mixture of 2A and 1A schools, requires all of its members to play each other during the regular season. The Wolves struggled to compete with the larger 2A schools and private-school powerhouses Archbishop Murphy and King’s. The Cascade Conference did allow Coupeville to play as an independent in football the past two seasons, but that was not an ideal situation for the Wolves. Chimacum, like Coupeville, wasn’t happy with its former league affiliation. In the 1A Nisqually League, it was matched up with six private schools. The Cowboys and Wolves will jump to the 11-team Olympic League and play in a four-team, 1A division with Port Townsend and Klahowya of Silverdale. Unlike the Cascade Conference, the 1A schools in the Olympic League will be in their own division and not be required to play the 2A schools. Port Townsend (327 students) and Chimacum (237), like Coupeville (225), are two of the smaller 1A schools in the state and should, in theory, be more equitable in athletic talent. The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association takes enrollment counts every two years, and schools are placed in divisions based upon those numbers. For the most part, the top 17 percent are 4A schools; the next 17

Coupeville, Chimacum and Port Townsend all had trouble racking up wins against larger league opponents in the past. In 2013 fall sports, Chimacum finished 1-8 in football, 0-16 in soccer and 4-13 in volleyball. Port Townsend, which played football in the 1A Nisqually League but all other sports in the Olympic League, went 7-3 in football, 0-8 in tennis, 0-16 in soccer and 3-11 in volleyball. Klahowya, however, is dropping down a classification from 2A this fall and is the third largest 1A school in Washington with 456 students. Therefore, the Eagles will be a challenge for Coupeville, Chimacum and Port Townsend. Although Klahowya was one of the smallest schools in the Olympic League, it went 5-4 in football, 7-3 in tennis, 13-3 in soccer and 10-7 in volleyball last year. Fall sports weren’t the only trouble spots for Chimacum and Port Townsend. In the winter, the Cowboys were 3-17 in boys basketball and 2-17 in girls basketball. During the spring, its baseball team went 2-13 and its boys soccer team was 0-10.

Port Townsend’s boys basketball team was 6-13, while the girls went 10-13. In spring sports, the Redhawk baseball team finished 4-15 and its softball team was 2-16. The boys soccer team ended 5-11 and the boys and girls track teams both went 0-6.

The combined Chimacum and Port Townsend tennis team was winless in eight matches. Klahowya had decent teams in baseball (14-9), boys soccer (11-9) and boys track (4-4), but finished under .500 in boys basketball (1-18), girls

basketball (3-16), softball (2-12), girls tennis (0-11) and girls track (2-6). The switch in leagues for Coupeville will also necessitate a switch in traditional starting times for contests. Chimacum, Port Townsend and Klahowya are all on

the Olympic Peninsula, and that means trips on the Port Townsend ferry, which has limited late-evening runs. League football games, for example, which generally started at 7 p.m. in the past, will now begin anywhere between 3 and 5:30 p.m.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.

JETS: Society takes over Navy’s practice field

From page 1 “It’s just like you see in a 737, just smaller,” Berry said of the true turbine engine. “They put out 12-to-24 pounds of thrust.” Richmond’s father, Stuart, got him involved with radio-controlled planes, and he used to compete with his older brother Bruce for years in pylon racing in sites across the country and in other parts of the world. Richmond took an extended break to raise his family and is now getting more involved with model airplanes again. He was flying his brother’s model plane, a Bob Violett Model Bobcat, with “Bruce Richmond” etched on the side. “He died when he was 45, 10 years ago,” Richmond said. “He left me that jet. “My brother was kind of a gruff character. He was really smart. Whenever we’re flying that, we feel he’s standing over our shoulders, saying, ‘Don’t screw up!’ I always feel like somebody’s out there helping us.”

TOWN OF COUPEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING

The Whidbey Examiner • Thursday, August 28, 2014

SIGNS: Man ruffles feathers with downtown message From page 1 and even became the subject of a federal lawsuit. “My intention is to dispel the myth created by the Chamber of Commerce, Realtors, Town of Coupeville and Island County that Central Whidbey is a bucolic, pastoral, tranquil place in the center of a National Historical Reserve,” Pickard said. “In reality, Central Whidbey has become a military training area with jet noise consistent with a war zone. “This ‘myth’ fails to acknowledge the severe irreparable personal injury being inflicted upon the citizens of Central Whidbey and all living things. The electeds have given federal infusion of money priority over the health and welfare of their constituents, the citizens,” Pickard said. The truck, which was parked on Front Street all day Sunday, displayed signs that said, “Politicians choose

Ken Pickard ruffled feathers this week by parking his truck with political signs on Front Street. He previously brought the signs to a Rick Larsen campaign rally in June. to live and enjoy the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of our homes,” he said. While he parked the truck all day on Sunday, he said

he also drove it downtown Monday. “Monday I just drove it down and parked while I was having lunch down on the

wharf,” he said. Coupeville Chamber of Commerce Director Lynda Eccles declined to comment for the story.

THIEF: Report of sleeping man solves car theft case From page 1 but the man had no idea why the vehicle was parked on his property. So Norrie ran a check on the SUV and found it was registered to a West Beach Road resident. An Oak Harbor police officer went to the house to

check and found the garage door open and evidence of forced entry into the house. The residents were on vacation. Norrie then knocked on the SUV window until the man “finally roused from his stupor and opened the door,” Hawley wrote. Norrie noticed a hypodermic

needle on the floorboard beneath the driver, the report states. The man was identified as Christopher Nielsen, a transient and “known drug user,” Hawley wrote. A deputy contacted Norrie and said he had probable cause to arrest Nielsen on the Aug. 16 or 17 burglary of Neil’s

Clover Patch Cafe. The alleged burglar or burglars gained access through a tiny window, and the thieves got away with $200 to $300 in loose change. The thief got in by squeezing through an 18-inch-wide, metalscreened window in a food pantry, according to the

South Whidbey Record. Prosecutors, however, have only charged Nielsen with possession of a stolen vehicle so far. A conviction could mean more than four years in prison for him. Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock set Nielsen’s bail at $30,000 on Aug. 21.

$$$ over harm to citizens” and “Navy intentionally injures citizens physically, mentally, financially.” Coupeville Town Marshal Rick Norrie said his office received a few calls about the signs and he was approached in person about the issue as well. “Obviously, when you get calls, you got to figure out what’s going on,” Norrie said. “We’re very much aware. You can only do what you can do lawfully.” The truck was parked on public property and does not pose a safety risk, Norrie added. Pickard, who is a member of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, said the group has more in store. “COER has many upcoming tactics and plans to continue to bring the facts to light and to the forefront of public discussion until such time as our ‘leaders’ take a position supporting the citizens, our health and welfare, our reserve and our freedom
