The leadership of Island Transit continued down a bumpy road this week.

The embattled board of directors held a special meeting Wednesday to discuss the transition after Executive Director Martha Rose quit last Friday.

The board formed a subcommittee to interview temporary replacements, but delayed moving forward with finding a permanent director.

Rose left the agency amidst financial problems that led to employee layoffs and route cuts.

THE BOARD didn’t allow the public

to speak during the meeting, angering many in the crowd.

During previous meetings Coupeville Councilman Bob Clay, chairman of the board, allowed freewheeling discussions between the audience and board members.

Attendance and accuracy are becoming the top two issues for former coworkers and Island County treasurer candidates Wanda Grone and incumbent Ana Maria Nuñez’s.

Grone, who was fired by Nuñez when she filed to run, is critical of Nuñez’s leadership style and frequent absences over the last year.

Early budget restores positions, pushes for technology upgrades

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Island County’s early budget draft aims to restore a number of positions and pushes for upgrades in technology.

A public hearing for the budget draft is set for 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 6.

A dozen or so full- and part-time positions

were approved in the preliminary budget, jobs that fell victim to the economic recession that began in 2008.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who was in office during the severe staffing and service cuts made by the county in 2009, said she is grateful the county is now in a position to begin restoring services.

“We’re trying to get back to really meeting the needs of the community,” Price Johnson said.

Proposed staffing increases include an assessor trainee, a part-time auditor’s office position, a facilities maintenance technician, a part-time night custodian, a building inspector, an administrative assistant and a correc-

tions officer.

Last year, the county’s biggest priority was law and justice, funding four deputy positions.

Two more deputies have been funded in this year’s preliminary budget as well.

Warmth, rain perfect mix for 2014 crops

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

When temperatures dropped this week, welcoming a new season like clockwork, Julieanna Purdue felt a small sense of relief.

“It’s a refreshing change,” said Purdue, a Central Whidbey farmer. “It was a very hot, dry summer.”

Purdue wasn’t complaining.

The warmer weather this past summer produced some unusual results at the Prairie Bottom Farm she operates with her husband Wilbur on Ebey’s Prairie in Coupeville.

“We were able to grow watermelon and cantaloupe right out in the field,” she said.

Farmers from Central and North Whidbey gushed about a summer that not only provided more heat units, but also interspersed enough rain to provide favorable growing conditions for a variety of crops.

Sunshine in late spring got berry growers off to a fast start, while harvesters of alfalfa and other grasses were able to get in more cuttings than usual this year

with the timely rain being the key.

Vegetable growers in general raved about this year’s bumper crops.

“It made me wish I planted melons,” said Sheila CaseSmith, who runs the Case Farm in Oak Harbor. “We’ve been averaging temperatures right about 10 degrees above normal all summer long.

“I think if we hadn’t had a good irrigation system, we would have said, ‘It would have been too dry.’ As long as you can get an inch of water on the ground each week, things grow like crazy.”

It wasn’t the heat wave felt in Seattle, where temperatures reached 80 degrees or higher for at least 40 days for the second summer in a row, but Whidbey’s marinecooled temperatures were warmer than usual.

The average air temperature in Central Whidbey during the months of June, July and August was 60 degrees — higher than any of the past three years — according to data recorded at a weather station at the Ebey Road Farm on Ebey’s

Jaye Silverman, left, hands kale to Casey Whitmer, right, as Adam Kendrick looks on Thursday during picking day at Willowood Farm on Ebey’s Prairie in Coupeville. Kendrick, the farm’s manager, said workers needed to increase irrigation to keep up with this summer’s warm weather. Weather allowed for the farm to do additional plantings. Willowood produces lettuce, greens, beets, carrots, squash, onions and other crops to deliver to restaurants and markets. The farm, owned by Georgie Smith, is exploring adding a farmstand, Kendrick said.

Prairie.

The station is part of the Washington State University Ag Weather Net, which is working to add a second weather station on South Whidbey.

The average high temperature in Central Whidbey during that same threemonth span was 70 degrees, according to David Broberg, owner of the Blue Goose Inn in Coupeville, which houses a weather station on its roof.

There were six days with temperatures of 80 degrees or higher, doubling the total from last year, Broberg said.

Karen Bishop, manager of the Whidbey Island

Conservation District and Central Whidbey farmer, said the combination of warm weather and timely rain made for an exceptional growing season.

She pointed to data collected at the WSU Ag Weather Net station that revealed 2.66 inches of rainfall from June through August this summer. That compares to 1.62 inches in 2013, 3.7 inches in 2012 and 1.03 inches in 2011.

“If you look back in 2012, it was just kind of a wetter, cooler summer,” Bishop said. “This was a warmer summer with those interspersed rains. There was almost an inch of rain in

August, an inch of rain in June and a half-inch of rain in July. That was the golden key there.”

The warm temperatures were felt near Crescent Harbor as well, resulting in a bounty of vegetables from Roy and Tricia Miller’s family garden at Pacific Wind Farms in Oak Harbor.

They grew so many vegetables in their 155-feet-by50-feet garden patch that they are considering selling produce at the Oak Harbor Farmers Market in 2015.

“My tomatoes are going crazy,” Roy Miller said. “We grew jalapeños and (other) peppers, too.”

But it was a mixed blessing. The Millers’ farm is based on growing Christmas trees, which don’t welcome too much heat.

Some new plantings didn’t survive.

“The dryer it is, the more you’ve got to water the trees,” Roy Miller said.

“We’re working on getting an irrigation system ready for the trees.”

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown provided yet another sign that summer is over this week.

Brown, who’s also the county fire marshal, is lifting the ban on outdoor burning next week due to increased moisture.

The ban ends at 8 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 30.

The sheriff banned outdoor fires earlier in the summer, which was especially hot and dry this year.

Burning of residential yard debris, land-clearing fires and other such conflagrations are permanently banned in Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Freeland, Langley and the urban growth areas of those municipalities.

Burning garbage and the use of a burn barrel is illegal statewide and can be subject to a fine that can exceed $1,000.

All yard debris and landclearing burning requires a permit in the rural areas where open burning is allowed. All written burn permits will be issued through the Island County Health Department.

To obtain a verbal permit for fires less than 4 feet in diameter, call Northwest Clean Air Agency at 360-4281617, ext 4.

To obtain a written permit for fires more than 4 feet in diameter, call 360-679-7350.

Visit www.islandcountyeh. org/page/276 for additional permit information.

Recreational fires less than 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet high do not require a permit.

For property that falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources, call 360-856-3500 for burn permit information.

County unveils fee changes Builders say fees are fair

Oak Harbor freshman royalty ride in style during the 2013 Homecoming Week parade in downtown. This year’s parade is Wednesday, Oct. 1.

Spirited events planned for Homecoming Week

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

With Oak Harbor High School’s Homecoming Week coming fast, plans for the week-long celebration are coming together.

For the fourth year, the homecoming parade will be held downtown. It starts 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1, on Pioneer Way. The parade will include students not just from the high school, but also from the elementary and middle schools.

For the first time this year, there will be an announcer halfway through the event to honor the groups attending and walking in the parade.

For the high school students, there’s much more to homecoming week than the parade and football game against Huron High School on Friday, Oct. 3.

Homecoming brings Spirit Week at the high school. The week includes “dress-up days” for each class to earn spirit points, which will determine which class wins.

Winners will be revealed at the school assembly Friday.

The school will have Pajama Day on Monday, Disney Day on Tuesday, Color

Wars on Wednesday, Favorite College or Sports Team Day on Thursday and Super Spirit Friday.

For Color Wars, the freshmen must wear gold, sophomores will wear purple, juniors will wear white and the seniors will wear black.

Super Spirit day involves students wearing as much purple and gold as possible for points.

Usually the senior class wins Spirit Week, but occasionally the upperclassmen are shown up by younger students, according to Nicki Luper, athletic director for the high school,.

Friday’s assembly will also be when the homecoming court is revealed. Court is composed of 10 students, two from the freshman, sophomore and junior classes and four from the senior class.

From among two princes and princesses for the senior class, a king and queen will be crowned, the winners revealed at halftime during Friday’s football game.

To round out the homecoming events, there will be an alumni tea after the Oct. 3 assembly, and the homecoming dance for students is Saturday, Oct. 4 in the Student Union.

Fees charged for permits and consulting services from Island County planners may be revised by county commissioners.

On Wednesday, Planning Director David Wechner unveiled changes to county fees for land use permits, road maintenance, shoreline work and other services.

While Wechner and local builders said they believe the changes are fair, the county commissioners said they want to ensure the fees aren’t too high.

“We don’t need the price to be too bold,” said Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan.

The commissioners will continue their discussion about the proposed fees during a future work session.

Among the main changes are the inclusion of a $300 preapplication fee, which did not exist previously but Wechner called “an investment.”

“That has a lot of value,” Wechner said.

“All the information you get, help with the application process … it all puts the goal post in the right spot. It’s the best investment you can make.”

Wechner said these fee increases are “simply trying to cover the costs” in most cases.

“The number of hours we’re putting in is stacking up,” Wechner said.

Staff time for pre-applications meetings can take three hours or more in preparation, research and meeting time and can include staff from multiple departments, Wechner said.

Vaughan said he wanted to make sure that an applicant’s

time and money isn’t wasted with the pre-application fee if it’s clear their project will not be approved.

“I want to know what the county is going to do to convey that to the applicant,” Vaughan said.

Wechner said he and his staff try to give these “counter denials” when necessary to save applicants and staff time.

In addition, once through the application process, the preapplication fee is deducted from the permit cost.

Applicants will need to see a smooth application process if they are going to pay $300 for the assistance, Commissioner Jill Johnson said.

She added that the fees also had to be “palatable” for the community.

“The community is only going to be able to handle so much,” Johnson said. “It has to be in line with our local economy.”

Offering an updated website that allows applicants to self help through research, fee payment, and filling out applications online should also be a priority for the county, said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson.

“We don’t have a website that is user friendly,” Price Johnson said.

“There’s a lot we can do on that side. And there’s an education process in helping people use the site.”

Wechner said that in order to clarify the fees and the process, he suggests writing an administrative guide to accompany the fee schedule.

“It’s a little fuzzy sometimes for folks,” Wechner said.

Wechner told commissioners that he met with Wayne Crider, executive officer for the Skagit and Island Counties

Builders Association, and other stakeholders to ensure it was a fee schedule they could live with.

Crider said Wednesday that Wechner met with him, other builders, and Scott Yonkman, of Yonkman Construction who also serves on the Island County Planning Commission, for three hours recently.

They all agreed that the fee schedule is fair.

“We don’t like fees, but we do understand that there has to be a workable solution for everyone,” Crider said.

“We’re glad to see some fees eliminated, glad to see fees reduced, and most increases are not that much.”

Crider also said that the fees should also be fair to the individual home owner as well as the larger construction companies.

In most cases, standard single home remodels will not be affected by the fee schedule changes, Crider said.

Other fee changes include the increase in price for a certificate of zoning compliance from $625 to $750, an new administrative setback reduction fee will cost $750 and a land use information response would cost $50.

The $500 15-day and $150 renewal determinations for critical areas would be eliminated completely.

However, new critical areas fees would be put in place, including $150 for an exemption authorization, $250 for permitted alterations and $1,800 for a critical areas variance.

Ebey’s Landing design review services would be reduced in price overall, but a $150 pre-application fee would be introduced.

NAS Whidbey to demolish, rebuild Seaplane Base pier

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Photo by Bert Speir

One of the youngest cyclists in the Tour de Whidbey sticks out his tongue as the former chairman of the Whidbey General Hospital’s foundation snaps a photo.

Cycling event raises more than $50,000

said. “Seeing so many of them and having our island really be showcased in the way that it was is really great.”

The Tour drew participants not just from Washington state, but also from Texas, Georgia, Canada and elswhere, and the success of the event is owed a lot to the main sponsor of Tour de Whidbey, Rideau said.

“It just wouldn’t happen without our sponsors, so I would really like to give a pat on the back to Whidbey Island Bank,” Rideau said. “They committed almost a year ago, giving us the thumb’s up.

“It’s those kinds of things that make us move forward and gather other sponsors.”

Money raised during the Tour de Whidbey will go toward a new Orthopedic Arthroscopy Tower at Whidbey General Hospital.

The tower will allow for more orthopedic surgeries, a priority for the department because the number of patients and patient needs in that area of medical treatment have increased.

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Tour de Whidbey was a great success for Whidbey General Hospital’s foundation.

The event drew 436 riders. The bicyclists had the opportunity to see the beauty of Whidbey Island while on the 10-, 30-, 40-, 50- or 100-mile treks.

Helen Rideau, executive director of the foundation, said that the Century Ride, the 100-mile loop, was the most popular.

It had people lining up before registration officially started.

“The 100-mile racers were the first ones in line,” Rideau said.

“It was fantastic.”

The fundraising goal for the event was $40,000, and though the organizers “haven’t got every nickel counted yet,” Rideau said, the results will “definitely go over $50,000.”

That, however, wasn’t the best result of Tour de Whidbey, she said.

“I think just getting to see all the faces of the volunteers and people getting to enjoy the bike ride (was my favorite),” Rideau

The Navy plans demolish a finger pier in Crescent Harbor and build a 400-foot breakwater to protect the adjacent fuel station. Construction is expected to begin in June. ments.

The project also includes the dredging of a 3.9 acre area inside Crescent Harbor and replacing the six existing anchor buoys with helical buoys.

The purpose of the proposed action is to improve safe, reliable access to the existing Seaplane Base fuel pier. It is needed to protect fuel transfer operations at the fuel pier during severe weather or low tides, and enable fuel pier vessels with

drafts of up to 16 feet.

The fuel pier receives 40 barge deliveries of jet fuel per year, according to Navy documents.

An Environmental Assessment was completed for the project in August.

The public comment period for the draft EA was held July 3 through Aug. 9. No public comments were received.

The EA documents are available at http://go.usa. gov/kQ6e through Nov. 10.

Glendale beach access saved

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Whidbey Island beach access advocates are celebrating this week following the announcement that the beach at Glendale will be reserved for public use.

Whidbey Camano Land Trust announced that it is within $240,000 of raising the $1.5 million needed to secure the necessary properties and easements, and a bridge loan will be used to close the purchase of the properties by the Sept. 30 deadline.

“I was ecstatic to hear we have another beach access on the South end,” said Mindy Thompson, whose family has lived a half-mile from the Glendale beach for 40 years. “This is what Whidbey Island is all about.”

Two state grant applica-

tions for the Glendale Beach Project scored No. 1 and No. 2 in their respective statewide funding competitions, according to Ryan Etling, who assumed his role as conservation director in April.

This means that there is an extremely high likelihood the funding will be approved by the Legislature, said Etling. In addition, the Land Trust continues to receive donations, including a total of $61,000 last week alone.

“It’s been going really well,” he said. “It’s like nothing I’ve ever worked on before.”

The plan is for the Land Trust to own and manage the properties and for Island County to acquire a conservation easement that removes all development rights and ensures perma-

Next summer the Navy will begin work on demolishing a finger pier on Seaplane Base and building a new breakwater in Crescent Harbor.

The aging pier was built in 1943 when the base was established and has acted as a breakwater to the fuel loading station to the West, according to Mike Welding.

Work will to begin in June 2015 and is expected to be completed by spring of 2016, Welding said.

The $9 million project will demolish the 536-foot by 50-foot finger pier and construct a 400-foot by 8-foot breakwater supported by 90 pre-cast concrete piles.

The placement of the breakwater was selected because it avoids known eelgrass, gives better protection over most wave climate scenarios and provides a larger area of protection for nearshore marine habitat, according to Navy docu-

nent public beach access.

This ownership model mirrors the 654-acre Trillium Community Forest located just north of Freeland.

The Land Trust will work with the state Department of Natural Resources to complete the shoreline restoration work, which will include the removal of dozens of old creosote-treated pilings that are believed to be leaching toxins onto the beach and into Puget Sound, Etling said.

The Glendale beach access should be open to the public next summer or late fall after improvements are made and demolition of onsite structures is completed.

After being restored to its natural state, the 420foot beach will be available for non-motorized activities such as swimming, fishing and kayaking.

Restrictions on the grant funding have left the organization with no choice but to demolish the over-water structures, like the boat launch.

Thompson, who with her husband Mike has been an active proponent of the project, said that while they are disappointed that the boat launch will be removed, they are willing to let that go in exchange for saving the beach for the public.

Registered sex offender accused of reoffending

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A registered sex offender is accused of victimizing another underage Oak Harbor girl, according to court documents.

Prosecutors charged Caleb J. Clark, 20, in Island County Superior Court Sept.

22 with two counts of rape of a child in the third degree.

Clark is accused of having sex with a child who is at least 14 but less than 16 years old.

If convicted of the charges, he could face up to five years in prison under the standard sentence range.

An Oak Harbor woman reported in August that her 15-year-old daughter ran away, but that she returned after spending two nights with Clark.

The girl told investigators that she had sex with Clark and he knew she was

ISLAND SCANNER Island County Sheriff

15 years old. She said Clark told her he could get in trouble if she told anyone.

Clark admitted during an interview with investigators that he had consensual sex with the girl “once or twice.”

Clark was charged two years ago with molesting and “sexting” a middle-school girl. He was convicted of child molestation.

In that case, Clark had sex with a 13-year-old girl at a home on Northeast Fourth Avenue that was raided by police.

Oak Harbor police served a search warrant on the home and found 14 people living inside the house, in a camper and a shed.

Neighbors near the property long complained about the noise, disturbances and traffic in and out of the residence. The city’s code enforcement officer deemed the home unsafe to occupy because of a raw sewage leak and excessive trash.

After his conviction, Clark was deemed a Level 1 sex offender.

Man, 21, charged with assaults

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 21-year-old man pleaded not guilty Monday to charges that he assaulted his wife and a child at their Whidbey home.

Prosecutors charged Francisco J. Robles in Island County Superior Court Sept. 9 with assault of a child in the third degree and fourth-degree assault.

Both counts were charged as domesticviolence-related crimes.

Earlier this month, the woman reported to the sheriff’s office that Robles hit

her after accusing her of cheating on him based on a spam Viagra email she received, according to the deputy’s report.

The woman told the deputy that Robles assaulted her and her two children numerous times before, but she was afraid of him and waited until she got away from the residence to call the police; she said he hit both the 3-year-old and 6-year-old hard enough to bruise them.

The woman said she noticed a large bruise on the 3-year-old child’s inner thigh. The girl told her that Robles hit her with a belt, according to the report.

State set to make smokin’ pot profits THE PETRI DISH

By JERRY CORNFIELD The financial stakes of the state’s new marijuana industry are no longer theoretical.

Washington state’s chief economist predicts the legal recreational market will generate $636 million for the state through the middle of 2019.

Those millions are already trickling in, and next month the state will make the first payouts from a portion of excise taxes and fees collected from growers, processors and retailers.

That portion — $4 million as of Monday and $450 million in the economist’s forecast — are sequestered in a special account, not the general fund used to pay for the state’s daily operations.

The initiative specifies how money in that account is to be doled out. Ten percent is for a public education campaign, and 15 percent is for substance abuse prevention programs, for example.

The University of Washington gets a few dollars for operating a website and the Liquor Control Board, which regulates recreational marijuana, is promised money to cover the myriad costs of overseeing the industry.

But there’s a problem: The initiative directs half the money to the Basic Health Plan, a state health insurance program that no longer exists. It went away with the arrival of the federal health care law.

The treasurer and the governor’s budget folks aren’t sure what to do and asked Attorney General Bob Ferguson for advice. Until it comes, they’ll keep those dollars under wraps.

If it turns out that the money is up for grabs, lawmakers will be able to amend the state law to make clear who should get it. Cities and counties have a suggestion: us.

The ballot measure doesn’t promise local governments a share of marijuana revenue. And, so far, lawmakers have been unwilling to provide them a piece of the financial action.

That’s a sore point with members of city and county councils. They argue their communities are where growing and retailing occurs and thus are entitled to a share of the revenue to cover costs of things like zoning, regulating and policing.

Lawmakers went down to the wire of the 2014 session debating a revenue-sharing plan and came up empty.

Counties and cities will try again in 2015, with possibly different pitches. For example, counties might be willing to agree to leave out counties that enact bans and include them should their policy change. Cities, on the other hand, are said to prefer an incentive-based approach. Every city would get something, and those with marijuana businesses could get more because they are generating revenue.

At times, the conversation might feel like a repeat of the 2014 session, but it won’t be the same.

There’s money in the bank. There’s a clearer idea of the stakes, and they are real. Very real.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Washington, D.C.

Majority leader is the real obstructionist Editor, Regarding Walt Mistler’s Sept. 24 letter in the Whidbey News-Times, what we seem to have in Washington, D.C., is a party of “yes” and a party of “no.”

The Democrats want every social scheme they come up with passed without reservation or cost, and the Republicans say no, much like a parent talking to a child in a toy store, reasoning that we cannot afford every social and “green” program the Democrats want.

Republicans have been branded as obstructionists and causing roadblocks by the Democrats.

The blame lies elsewhere.

The Republican-controlled House has sent hundreds of bills to the Democrat-controlled Senate for a vote.

One person, and one person only, is the obstructionist, and that is House Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who determines which bills come up for votes.

The Republicans forwarded bills

with solutions to problems, tax and money bills, health care and a host of others that Harry Reid has blocked.

Then, during news interviews or speeches, the president and Mr. Reid call the Republicans obstructionists for not forwarding legislation he can act on and not working together, meaning legislation that favors them.

I monitor the Congressional voting record in a regional daily newspaper and it is plain for all to see that our representative, Congressman Rick Larsen, votes in lockstep with the Democrats.

If it is Republican originated, they vote against it, regardless. Democrats do not want the Republicans to gain legislation they can crow about no matter how beneficial it would be to the country.

It is extremely rare, if at all, that you see Rick Larsen’s name alongside a Republican’s on a vote. This is not representation of the people that elected him but loyalty to the Democrat party.

Isn’t he supposed to represent all of his constituents?

Is it no wonder we have a stagnant Congress?

None in Washington, D.C., have the country’s best interests in mind.

Their only goal is re-election, and that is why Harry Reid only allows the

bills he likes to come to the floor for a vote, the ones that will garner the votes come re-election time.

Every bill from the House should be voted on, yea or nay, not selectively culled by roadblock master Harry Reid.

Three major contributors to I-594 are Nick Hanauer, Bill Gates and Paul Allen.

No one can accuse these gentlemen of not being Washington state citizens.

Temporary gun transfers: I-594 closes a loophole in current law and requires that all gun sales be subject to background checks with some exceptions.

Read I-594, paragraph (4) of section 3. It specifically states that this section does not apply to a transfer between immediate family members, the sale or transfer of antique firearms, temporary transfer between spouses, temporary transfer at an established shooting range, at a lawful organized competition or while hunting. It also excludes transfers to a person under 18 years of age for lawful hunting, sporting or educational purposes while under the direct supervision and control of a responsible adult.

Hysterical rantings will not change the facts about I-594. If you have concerns, read the full text of I-594 yourself. The initiative is well written and available online.

Island Transit

Incompetent circus, pursuit of acclaim Editor, I am writing in response to the current Island Transit upheaval.

Watching the taped council meetings on a local channel, I discovered that

the chairman and acting CEO of the transit board did not seem to know whether or how a passenger use count was done.

When I went online to view our new transit center, I was struck by its seeming extravagance.

As someone actively working with the elder community and using the transit system myself at 70, I watch with a great deal of interest to see if some level-headed measures are instituted to assure full public disclosure and accountability for what, at this time, looks like an incompetent circus of pride and pursuit of acclaim at the expense of basic math and common sense.

OLF Coupeville

Be accountable for your own decisions Editor, Recently I was exposed to an event that brought to mind the anti-OLF situation.

I have lived in Oak Harbor for 35 years. The Coupeville landing strip was in operation long before I arrived.

I spent a few months looking for a place to purchase and build a house, or find one already constructed that met my desires.

Unlike some people, I considered many factors in my selection: noise,

distance to my work, close to busy roadway. I had no children living at home, so schools were not a factor.

The heavy fog that at times hits the West side turned me away from some very nice places.

I looked, checked and doublechecked.

Then we made our selection.

I was at the Oak Harbor Golf Club and noticed many homes next to the golfing area. I can picture some of the anti-OLF people purchasing a home here. Those golf balls could break a window in the house or vehicle.

Maybe even hit my dog. Or the golf ball could land on my property and do no damage, but the golfer could come on to my property uninvited, chasing his wayward ball.

No golfer has the right to enter my property uninvited. Close down the golf course.

I must protect my children, dog, house and vehicle from damage. The golfer hit the ball that did the damage, therefore the damage was a result of an intended act.

Maybe, just maybe, we find a house that we like, but it is close to a church.

Those Sunday church bells wake me up. And the traffic jam all the cars of the church attendees create causes me a problem whenever I want to make a Sunday run to Safeway, or some other place of business.

They interrupt my sleep, then cause me a traffic problem in trying to conduct business authorized by the Constitution.

Close down the church, or move it away. I have a right to my peace and quiet.

I should not be held responsible for making a bad selection for my house or the location. I have my rights, but I should not be responsible for exercising those rights.

Someone else is responsible, not me.

They spent the warm summer months in Oak Harbor with their four daughters.

The family always hated it when summer ended and they left to spend the cold winters in Arizona. No one knew in 1986 it would be their last trip to Arizona.

Jack passed away unexpectedly that year. June decided to make her home in Oak Harbor by family.

June was preceded in death by her loving husband, Jack; her parents, Henry and Clara Williams; and sisters, Grace Sliman, Viola Ayers and Fern Hay. As a family, we take comfort that she is with the Lord and her loving husband, Jack.

Growney

William Growney

Lt. Cmdr. William C. “Bill” Growney, USN (Ret), passed away peacefully on Sept. 20, 2014, with his loving family by his side.

Bill was born July 11, 1933, in Berkeley, Calif., to William Henry and Bernadine Wittschen Growney.

Unfortunately, his mother Bernadine was called home to our Lord at Bill’s birth.

He was raised by his father and stepmother, Virginia “Ginny” Rose Growney.

He attended school in Berkeley, Calif., graduating from Berkeley High in 1950.

He went on to Contra Costa College and was in the Navy Reserve, stationed at Oakland Naval Air Station attached to VP-8 from 1951-August 1953.

He then applied for the NAVCAD program Pensacola, Fla., to pursue his dream and become a pilot.

He received his wings January 1955 in Hutchinson, Kan., and was stationed in VP-2 at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, where he remained until 1962, serving in HATUPAC and VAH-123.

Bill married his high school sweetheart, Sandra “Sandy” Irene Gerbo, on Jan. 28, 1956. They completed their family with two beautiful children, Sharon Irene and William Craig Jr. In 1962, as Bill continued his Navy career, they moved their family to stations in Oxnard, Calif., (Point Magu) and Honolulu (Hickham AFB).

During this five-and-a-half year period, while assigned to NAPOG, he flew the A3D Sky Warrior, a plane used to

track the re-entry phase of test missiles.

In 1967, Bill was a part of NARU at NAS Alameda, Calif., training reservists.

From there, he transferred with NARU and was stationed at NAS Whidbey in 1970, becoming Officer in Charge of VP-69. He and Sandy knew that this was where they would plant their roots.

Bill retired from the Navy in July 1973, completing 23 years and building a dream home in Oak Harbor. His knowledge of Whidbey Island then served him well as he pursued his second career and became a Real Estate Agent. He sold properties with Panorama Properties and Island Brokers on the island for 22 years before retiring for good.

Bill and his family enjoyed many vacations to Lake Chelan. It was a favorite summer spot where he was known to take hour-long swims as Sandy followed along on the beach. He and Sandy also enjoyed vacationing in Hawaii. It was their favorite place to celebrate wedding anniversaries. He loved playing bridge and spending time with his family.

Bill is survived by his loving wife, Sandy, at the family home; his daughter, Sharon (John) Flynn, of Hillsboro, Ore.; and son, William “Will” (Tammy Olander) Growney, of Oak Harbor, Wash. Also surviving are grandchildren, Kevin (Elizabeth) Flynn, Dennis (Amber) Flynn, Ryan Flynn, Kailey (Jeff) Nye, Ashton Growney and Danica (David) Faussette. Five greatgrandchildren, numerous very special nieces and nephews and sister-in-law Aliye Smith also survive.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sister Antonette “Toni” Lenfestey and brother-in-law George Lenfestey; sister Mary Strong and brother-in-law Paul Strong; brother John Growney; and granddaughter Sarah Irene Flynn.

Bill was laid to rest during a private service at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, Wash. Funeral arrangements we entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home in Oak Harbor.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Island Hospital for their excellent care.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances can be made to your favorite charity.

’Cats stuff Scots in volleyball

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Withstanding ever y charge by visiting Shorecrest, the Oak Harbor High School volleyball team trimmed the Scots in three close games Wednesday, Sept. 24.

The Wildcats won 25-22, 27-25, 25-19.

Oak Harbor led most of the first two games but could not bury the Scots, who kept chipping away at the leads.

The Wildcats, however, controlled play during the tense final points of each set to claim the sweep.

In game one, Oak Harbor went on a 5-1 run with the help of three consecutive aces by Hailey Beecher to lead 17-10.

Shorecrest (1-2, 3-2) eventually trimmed the gap to one, 24-23, before a kill by Hailee Blau sealed the set.

The Wildcats never trailed in the second set, but the Scots hung close, tying the score multiple times.

After a 12-12 tie, Oak Harbor edged out to its biggest lead, 18-14, before the Scots rallied again.

Like the first game, Oak Harbor held game point at 24-22; this time Shorecrest evened the set at 24-24 and 25-25. Two hitting errors by the Scots handed Oak Harbor the win.

The third game followed a different pattern.

Stanwood, which has dominated Wesco 3A North tennis for years, continued its mastery over Oak Harbor High School with a 5-0 win Wednesday, Sept. 24, on the Wildcats’ courts.

The match was originally scheduled for Tuesday but was rained out.

Oak Harbor is closing the gap on the Spartans, according to coach Horace Mells.

For years, Stanwood (3-0, 4-2) had an advantage over the other North teams because it was the only community with indoor tennis courts, allowing the Spartan players to workout yearround.

The indoor facility, however, closed two years ago and the Stanwood players with club experience are graduating from the school program.

Though Oak Harbor failed to score a team point against Stanwood Wednesday, the top three singles players held

their own.

In third singles, Oak Harbor’s Tom Dale lost in three sets, losing the final set in a tie breaker (6-3, 5-7, 10-8).

In second singles, Carter Saar also took his opponent to three sets (2-6, 6-3, 6-2).

Jackson Wezeman dropped the No. 1 singles match 6-4, 6-3.

Mells said the season is “going OK so far,” but his doubles players, who came into the year with little varsity experience, “are behind and are trying to catch up.”

Everett (2-1, 5-2) comes to Oak Harbor (1-2, 1-4) for a 3:30 p.m. match Tuesday, Sept. 30.

Other results versus Stanwood: Singles: 4, Kyle Martin lost 6-1, 6-0.

Doubles: 1, Raymond Paraiso/Jared Alano-Gray lost 7-6(3), 6-1; 2, Max Van Dam/Nathan Magdalera lost 6-0, 6-2; 3, Matthew Hallahan/ Calib Byers lost 6-0, 6-4.

VOLLEY CONTINUED FROM A9 Shorecrest zipped to a 6-0 lead, then the Wildcats took off, outscoring the Scots 15-3 for a 15-9 lead.

Shorecrest worked to within three several times; its final push made it 21-18.

Oak Harbor finished with a flourish with the help of a Julie Jansen tip and an Aubrey Lock ace.

Claire Anderson kept the Oak Harbor offense humming throughout the match, finishing with 18 kills. Blau collected five and Amelia Berner four.

Anderson also led the defense with 21 digs, one more than Priya Osborne.

Beecher added 13 assists and five aces.

Wildcat coach Kerri Molitor said her team was more consistent than in its loss to Arlington two days earlier but still had lapses.

“We seem to have mental letdowns when we think we don’t have to concentrate,” she said, citing the lack of focus in the beginning of the third Shorecrest game after winning the first two sets.

“The players believe they can come back, which is good, but we can’t fall behind 9-0 in the fifth set like we did at Arlington and expect to win,” she said.

Molitor used 14 players against Shorecrest and said the depth of the squad is a positive: “Everyone contributes; everyone is ready to play.”

Wildcats tie Chargers Battling through wind and rain, the Oak Harbor and Marysville Getchell high school soccer teams settled for a 1-1 tie Tuesday, Sept.

23, at Wildcat Memorial Stadium.

Both teams scored in the first period but failed to convert again through the second half and two five-minute overtime sessions.

The Wildcats and Chargers each had their opportunities, Oak Harbor coach Mike Lonborg said, with his club creating the most.

“We just held onto the ball too long,” he said. “We were very close multiple times, just didn’t finish it off.”

Oak Harbor opened the scoring when Mary Johnston netted a goal off a head-

flick assist from Jacalyn Hefflefinger.

The Chargers (0-0-1, 2-2-1) countered later in the first half, scoring on a loose ball that escaped the Wildcat goalie.

Lonborg praised the play of sophomore Jen Turnek, junior Suzanne Kaltenbach and senior Lauryn Plush.

Turnek “played well and had some great passes that gave our forwards a chance,” Kaltenbach “anchored the defensive line and had some great runs,” and Plush “had a great game, sending in some great crosses that we just barely missed on,” Lonborg said.

Oak Harbor (0-1-1, 3-1-1) entertains Anacortes (2-4) at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27.

Rich Napierala fishes for coho salmon from the beach at Ebey’s Landing in Coupeville Thursday. He is visiting Whidbey Island from upstate New York.

Anglers hope for late push Coho salmon season off Whidbey disappointing so far for many fishers

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Visiting from upstate New York, Rich Napierala got word of the salmon fishing on the western shores of Whidbey Island and decided to give it a try.

He was told shore anglers were hooking into coho salmon with regularity from Ebey’s Landing in Coupeville Wednesday, so he got there a day later only to be left wondering what it must’ve been like.

The only tug on his line he experienced was that from a diving shorebird, which had mistaken his lure for a small fish.

“Luckily, these are barbless hooks,” he said, noting the bird was able to be released rather easily and escaped any noticeable harm.

Then, he assessed his

afternoon.

“That’s where I’m at: one duck, zero fish.”

It’s at this time of year when fishing for coho salmon off Whidbey Island is generally at its peak.

With September often the best time to experience success, good saltwater fishing usually continues well into October as coho arrive in Puget Sound from the ocean and continue their fall migration toward freshwater rivers.

Nearly 873,000 wild and hatchery coho were projected to enter Puget Sound this year.

Surveys from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife indicate that this year’s run appears to be a late arriver.

“We had a pulse of fish come in in early August,” said Aaron Dufault, state

A lot of stocks are coming in late this year.

“It’s very possible we have a good amount of coho run left to come in.”

That wouldn’t surprise Bob Crouch.

Crouch has been at the fishing game on Whidbey for decades and is a resident

expert on the subject. He is often consulted by customers in the sporting goods section where he works at Sebo’s hardware store in Bayview.

“It’s starting to get hot on the whole west side,” said Crouch, who fishes regularly from Bush Point in Freeland. “We needed that rain.”

Crouch said he caught his limit of two coho, or sil-

vers, as they’re also called, during high tide Sunday.

He said there is excitement for anglers this weekend because of when the morning and evening high tides fall.

Most anglers say they often find their best success fishing in the hours leading to high tide.

ing,” Crouch said. “Sunday (high tide) is 8 in the morning. Get there two hours before high tide and you’re in the zone.”

Anglers mostly fish for coho from Whidbey’s west side in Marine Area 9, which stretches from Admiralty Inlet to Possession Point.

Some of the most popular spots for shore fishers is the Keystone spit in Coupeville and Bush Point.

Another common place to fish for salmon from shore is along the beach near the Deception Pass bridge in Marine Area 6.

Many coho caught off Whidbey are headed to area rivers such as the Skagit, Snohomish and Stillaguamish, which present another fall fishing opportunity for bank and boat anglers.

Many saltwater shore fishers are using green or pink lures such as Buzz Bombs or Rotators. Only a single, barbless hook is allowed.

Crouch said he used a shiny, chrome-colored

“I was the only one there nailing them,” he said.

Robert Hartman of Oak Harbor figures he’s hooked into about 10 salmon since he started in July and has caught five. He said he landed three Wednesday but released them.

Hartman said fishing for coho is nothing like the pink salmon fishery that hits the Puget Sound waters every odd-numbered year. He said he caught nearly 60 salmon last year.

“I expected better,” Hartman said of the 2014 season. “We should have more fish than this.”

Mike Crowell of Coupeville is among the

anglers who line the beach daily at Driftwood Park at the Keystone spit.

He figures he fishes about six days a week and has hooked into about seven coho in September. He said the season hasn’t been as good compared to the past two years but added that some anglers have caught at least 15 fish on the beach.

Crowell isn’t so optimistic about the prospects of a late surge of coho this season.

“I may get tired before it happens,” he said. “I’ve casted out there 1,000 times.”

TENSE CONTINUED FROM A1 Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley chastised board members during the tense meeting for what he characterized as negligence in their oversight of the agency.

The Oak Harbor City Council recently appointed him to the board until the end of the year because Councilman Jim Campbell, a transit board member, is on an extended vacation.

“We have a board that hasn’t done their due diligence and hasn’t done their duties as board members, period,” Dudley told board members.

and she was sorry if the information didn’t get passed along to the mayor.

Clay pointed out that the board has two more meetings over the next month to discuss other issues, but the special meeting was dedicated to transition planning.

He also questioned Dudley’s motivation in attacking board members.

“You are bound and determined to derail Island Transit,” he said, “but I’m not going to let you.”

Dudley countered that the board members were the ones who derailed the agency by not doing their jobs.

“Thank you for your support, sir,” Clay said.

DUDLEY WAS was largely shut down, however. He moved to hold an executive session to fire or take disciplinary action against acting financial manager Sandra Kuykendall for writing a scathing letter to the editor of the Whidbey News-Times critical of him and others.

The rest of the board refused.

Kuykendall is a contract employee and her contract ends at the end of the month; Dudley said later that he didn’t know that.

Dudley also tried to discuss financial information, specifically the fact that Island Transit delayed payments to its insurance provider, the Washington State Transit Insurance Pool. He claimed that board members were unaware of it.

Clay and Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, board member, shot him down again, saying that the issue was not on the agenda.

THE BOARD appointed Island County Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan and Clay to a new committee charged with finding and interviewing candidates for the temporary director position; Clay is acting director until a replacement is named.

Dudley criticized that decision. He said delegating responsibility was what led to the financial problems in the first place.

Dudley criticized the board with not moving forward with finding a permanent replacement.

Price Johnson asked him whether he had anything to contribute in the way of ideas.

“You don’t have to just throw grenades from the end of the table,” she said.

Dudley suggested finding a headhunting firm to identify candidates. The others agreed, but nobody suggested anything specific or made a motion to get the process rolling.

PRICE JOHNSON said the board was aware that Island Transit worked with the insurance pool to delay and break up payments for 2014 because of cash flow problems. She noted that Oak Harbor had a representative on the board

AFTER THE meeting, Dudley told the Whidbey News-Times that IT board members were unaware that Rose and Kuykendall got the Washington State Transit Insurance Pool to also defer payments in 2015.

TREASURER

“Bob Clay told me he knew nothing about it,” he said.

Dudley said he contacted the insurance pool and obtained minutes from a July 3 meeting of the executive committee about Island Transit’s request for additional time to pay the $440,000 bill.

The committee agreed that Island Transit can make the payment, normally due at the beginning of the year, in October.

IT board minutes state that Rose, during the July 3 meeting, said that she was planning service reductions and the layoffs of 11 employees.

Rose and the board, however, didn’t alert the public to route cuts and employee layoffs until the end of July. A total of 24 employees were laid off.

DUDLEY ALSO complained that Rose drove an IT-owned vehicle home after resigning on Sept. 19. She was reportedly seen driving it over the weekend.

It was completely inappropriate and creates a liability for Island Transit, he said.

Rose was known for immediately escorting people out of the building after firing them, said Dudley.

Rose had use of an IT vehicle as part of her compensation, Clay explained, adding she was allowed to drive home and return the next morning to drop off the car and clear out her office.

That, Clay said, was done under supervision.

“Scott is picking over an instance that has no substance,” he said.

Clay said Dudley fancies himself as the “lone ranger.”

“For the life of me, I don’t understand why someone would want to be such an obstructionist and to point fingers,” he said.

“It is destructive. It’s just not the kind of person I am.”

BUDGET

CONTINUED FROM A1 been closed to the access due to lack of staffing.

Price Johnson said another priority is taking care of the county’s backlog of information technology infrastructure.

Without additional staffing, software upgrades and bandwidth, the county doesn’t have the capability to offer necessary services, Price Johnson said.

Technology upgrades tentatively funded include a total of $180,000 in one-time money for website development and engineering, content migration, and updated data protection software and equipment.

The county is also looking to allot $239,000 in ongoing funding for increased internet capacity, a data management system and a SharePoint developer position.

In other departments, commissioners approved a one time allocation of $174,120 to Public Health to make up for budgetary shortfalls.

In recent years, Public Health Director Keith Higman had to ask the county to supplement his budget, which primarily relies on state grants and permit income. Increasing costs and static income levels has created an increasing deficit in his budget, he told commissioners.

During last year’s budget process, the commissioners gave Public Health $415,000.

District Court is tentatively funded to add a metal detector and security at its entrance, costing $40,000 in one-time expense and $50,000 in ongoing costs.

Budget Director Elaine Marlow said the commissioners tried to use alternative funding whenever possible to avoid depleting the general fund. These funding sources include real estate excise tax and county road funds.

Commissioner Jill Johnson sent an email to department heads Thursday reminding them that the budget, as it stands, is preliminary and may change.

Johnson said she believes the budget is $100,000 to $150,000 “too aggressive” and will be looking to make some cuts.

“It is important to me that I ensure everyone understands that what is proposed right now might not make it through,” Johnson said.

Wanda Grone

CONTINUED FROM A1 treatment,” said Grone, who is running as a Republican, in a Thursday interview. “Everyone should be able to come in every day know what they have to do, do their work and go home.”

Incumbent Democrat Nuñez said that, while Grone is a good accountant, she had her own shortcomings.

“The impression has been given, and it’s very very annoying, that my opponent was the perfect employee … that there were not issues in the office involving her job,” Nuñez said. “That is absolutely not true.

Did she make mistakes? Yes, she did.”

Grone said she believes her own leadership style of consistent attendance and working closely with staff will serve Island County residents better.

“I like to lead by example, I would do the work and I was there every day,” Grone said.

“When I left I had 140 hours of accumulated leave. That’s because I was there every day. I like going to work.”

Nuñez is unapologetic for the time she has missed over the last two years due to a family emergency, vacation and holidays.

Saturday, September 27, 2014 • Whidbey News-Times

Nuñez’ first four-year term has been riddled with errors within her office including clean water utility billing problems, tax statement formatting mistakes and a $1 million loss in county investments.

Between issues at work and illnesses in her family, Nuñez admits “this has not been a good year for me.”

However, she said she doesn’t believe her absences have affected her ability to run her office.

“These errors happened when I was sitting at my desk,” Nuñez said. “They didn’t happen when I was away … I am entitled to vacation like everyone and I’m not going to apologize for taking my vacation.”

Grone, who was also working in the treasurer’s office when these errors occurred, said she tried to advise Nuñez more than once to make different decisions but was ignored.

“She wanted to make decisions herself … you can only be a porcupine so many times,” Grone said. “I think she likes to have control. It’s not always consistent, that was part of my dissatisfaction.”

Grone said the $1 million investment loss last year was the result of

Treasurer candidate Wanda Grone discusses her platform and changes she would make if elected.

Incumbent Ana Maria Nuñez discusses the strengths and weaknesses of her office and where she thinks she can strive for change.

a “rookie mistake” on Nuñez’s part.

Nuñez said the county’s portfolio is “at the mercy of the market” and that the two years prior to 2013, the county experienced market gains. Nuñez said that other municipalities had also experienced a loss last year so she “wasn’t standing alone.”

“So the prior two years when I had a fair market gain I had experience, but last year I lost experience?” Nuñez argued.

Grone said she believes she

would do a better job of investing the county’s assets, but Nuñez said Grone lacks the appropriate experience.

Claiming that Nuñez has been out of the office roughly 50 percent of the time, Grone said her strength will be showing up for work.

“The biggest thing is I intend to be there. I think that’s the biggest difference,” Grone said. “I think that’s a big responsibility for the elected official to be there.

“That’s the biggest problem that

the office has.”

If reelected, Nuñez said she plans to restructure her office and place a manager over collections and investments to increase oversight.

She said she also wants to improve communication within her office.

“I’m asking them to be more frank with me,” Nuñez said.

“Don’t think you’re going to hurt my feelings if things aren’t running as smoothly as you think it could be. Because that doesn’t help anybody.”

Flea Market

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a n d b u y e r â&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
