County cited for reporting problems

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Island County was cited by the State Auditor’s Office for “significant deficiencies” in its financial reporting.

Washington state counties are required to submit financial statements annually.

Those statements are then reviewed by the state Auditor’s Office for financial accuracy and accountability.

Sheriff says drugs are not at ‘epidemic’ proportions

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

Despite Island County Sheriff Mark Brown’s assertions to the contrary, South Whidbey residents insist the drug problem on the South End has reached “epidemic” proportions.

During a public meeting at the high school in Langley last week, more than 70 people said they believe heroin usage in the community is out of control, and it’s leading to property crimes.

“Don’t kid yourself that it’s not an epidemic,” said Carol Coble, owner of Carol’s Coffee Barn in Bayview.

“The epidemic is heroin and it’s on Whidbey Island.”

Her coffee stand was broken into three times, and she claims drug dealing is so common in the area that it occurs in view of the public.

“You can’t go grocery shopping at the Goose without seeing a drug deal happen,” she said, a comment that earned her applause from the audience.

Byron MacDonald, owner of Country Girl Coffee in Freeland, said he agrees.

“Carol is right,” he said. “It’s ridiculously bad.

“I could give you a list of 100 people [who are heroin users] on this island,” he added.

The two business owners and other concerned South Whidbey residents gathered at the school’s commons Tuesday evening for a meeting about increased drug use and its link to residential and commercial burglaries.

Organized by Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, the gathering was also attended by county drug treatment specialists and elected officials, including Brown.

The sheriff acknowledged that property crime on the South End is on the rise, but added it’s by no means skyrocketing and is consistent with the rest of the county.

“I don’t know if it’s in epidemic proportions, but it is happening,” he said.

“To you it is epidemic, and we get that.”

Residential burglary has been an ongoing problem, but several businesses — Freeland Cafe, Neil’s Clover Patch Cafe and Cozy’s Roadhouse, to name a few — have been hit in recent months and then Wells Fargo in Clinton was robbed earlier this month.

Several meeting attendees expressed frustration that the problems continue to persist, and questioned the effectiveness of police tactics, especially when it comes to the visible drug dealing.

Brown said he blames a lack of resources as one obstacle; the department only has one

all organizations will continue to work together to see what we can do to drive people not only to Oak Harbor but to downtown,” Dudley said.

“It’s a win-win situation for everybody.”

Dudley has been eyeing the idea of Oak Harbor adopting the Main Street program, which is centered around promoting, preserving and embracing a city’s historic downtown.

It is designed to bring merchants together with the common goal of serving the greater business environment with member-

detective assigned to drug prevention for the entire county.

In a subsequent interview, Brown said that, even if he had one of the two South Whidbey officers in plain clothes and in an unmarked vehicle, they’d still be required to respond to emergency calls.

“I don’t want that officer responding in an old beat-up pickup truck to high-speed chase,” Brown said.

Sgt. Laura Price, one of two South Whidbey deputies who attended last week’s meeting, talked about burglary prevention strategies, such as photographing items in the home.

Price also talked about challenges associated with solving property crime.

“I think one of the biggest misconceptions is information versus evidence,” Price said.

Tips are helpful and welcome, but they aren’t the same as being caught red-handed by police. Also, thieves have wised up and usually wear gloves, meaning fingerprints are hard or impossible to find.

The same can’t be said for shoe prints, however.

“We catch a lot of people because they like a certain kind of shoes,” she said.

Public vigilance and remembering details is helpful in capturing burglars, Price said.

viability for all businesses in Oak Harbor,” Dudley said.

Heather Carder, the Downtown Merchants president and owner of The Noble Horse equestrian lifestyle boutique on Pioneer Way, said she was initially guarded about the Main Street idea, unsure how it might impact the merchants association, but agrees that it’s the right time now to make the move.

She has been in talks with Dudley about the idea since late spring.

“I’m excited,” Carder said.

Carder was still reeling, however, over how the Downtown Merchant Association meeting ended.

Margaret Livermore, the merchants association’s past president and longtime mem-

ber, abruptly left the meeting after reading aloud a statement over a disagreement she had with Carder over the Holiday Market.

The current and past presidents engaged in a lengthy email exchange that left both unsettled. The emails related to arrangements made to secure a location for the Holiday Market downtown without Carder’s knowledge or approval.

After Livemore left, members who attended the meeting spoke about the issue needing to be resolved.

“It was a miscommunication,” said Ron Apgar, owner of Paint Your World.

“You can’t read emotions in an email, and feelings get hurt.”

Oak Harbor peer tutoring program School fundraisers benefit programs helping struggling students study

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Honor Society members helping their classmates, middle schoolers, with core studies

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Sometimes students need extra help with their coursework.

In the Oak Harbor School District, it’s getting easier to get that help.

“As a district, we’ve tried to offer more opportunities for kids outside of the school day,” said Assistant Superintendent Steve King, “whether that be through tutoring or other activities.”

Peer tutoring is proving to be especially popular.

National Honor Society students at Oak Harbor High School are required to spend a certain amount of time tutoring. Though it’s mandatory, they say they enjoy helping their peers.

“It makes you feel good,” said Lauren Aspery, a National Honor Society student. “Like you’re actually helping someone.”

Those students tutor not only their fellow high school students, but also travel to the middle schools to help those students with any work they’re struggling with.

“National Honor Society students who come will help students with any of the work they need,” said North Whidbey Middle School Principal Bill Weinsheimer.

Weinsheimer said the most common subjects covered in tutoring are the core subjects, like math, English, science and social studies. However, even if the student doesn’t want help from high schoolers in other subjects, help is available through teachers after school.

Weinsheimer said that it’s not uncommon for art, band or choir students to stay after school to get help from teachers.

The same goes for the high school, according to Principal Dwight Lundstrom. He said the career and technical teachers stay after school and open their labs to students.

In the North Whidbey Middle School library, Oasean Weaver, left, Erina Horikawa, Emily Black and Deandre Bennett discuss various class assignments they’ve received so far this school year. Horikawa and Black are National Honor Society students visiting the middle school to offer their tutoring services to any middle school students who might need help with their coursework.

“That’s especially helpful for kids who really have a passion,” Lundstrom said.

Because of the increased availability, students are “able to extend their learning and do some pretty amazing extra stuff when they really have a passion for a subject,” he said.

It’s still early in the 2014-15 school year, so students taking advantage of the increased tutoring programs are few at the moment, but Weinsheimer said that, starting in October, “students will start to struggle a little bit,” and they’ll be taking advantage of the offered help more.

It helps that students know early on where the help is if they need it.

“I think the biggest result is just the relational piece,” Lundstrom said, “that kids know we’re here to help.

“Learning is about effort and about ‘keep trying until you understand it,’ and so I think it just helps with our culture.”

For honor student Patricia Sablan, who has spent time tutoring in the middle schools, the help she provides also gives her a good refresher for past studies.

“It’s nice to have a little review of what the transformation of what math you’ve gone through,” Sablan said.

Tutoring students has shown her the hard work many people don’t get a chance to see, she said.

“You don’t really notice how people struggle.”

Because she has noticed, and can help struggling students, Sablan said she gets a good feeling from tutoring.

Though there is no set schedule for the Honor Society students visiting the middle schools, and won’t be until early October, at the high school there are three weekly tutoring sessions.

Those are held 2:203:20 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in Denise May’s classroom.

At the middle schools, if a student is unable to make it to a tutoring session with Honor Society students, teachers are available to help.

A new school year means new fundraisers.

By the end of September and beginning of October, Oak Harbor had four schools conducting Associated Student Body-organized fundraisers.

Both of the middle schools and two elementary schools are raising money to be directed toward projects benefiting students.

North Whidbey Middle School, which is doing a catalog fundraiser that ends Friday, Oct. 3, will direct the money raised toward the ASB, sports teams and other activities the students do, according to Ramona Ferguson, a bookkeeper for the school.

“We sell cookie dough, magazines, and this year, they also have keepsakes, books, cards, calendars and more,” Ferguson said.

Students are asked to visit friends, neighbors and family, offering to sell them items out of a catalog.

Ferguson said that anyone not closely associated with a student, but interested in helping with the fundraiser, may visit the middle schools to obtain order forms and brochures.

Students who sell the most items receive rewards such as getting to see a movie or going on a limo ride to get ice cream.

Oak Harbor Middle School students held a walkathon last month to raise money.

The objective was for students to collect money donations before the walk, which happened after classes. Not every student is required to participate in the fundraiser or to walk.

Lisa Yoder, bookkeeper for

OHMS, said, “We do encourage everybody to do the walk.”

The students raised almost $8,000, Yoder said, which will go toward purchasing a big screen for school assemblies and signs for the building.

The walkathon included a Principal’s Challenge, which saw Principal Shane Evans run around the track.

Students could sign up for the Principal’s Challenge. Any who walked as many laps as Evans ran could go to lunch with him.

Evans ran 12 laps, and five students matched him.

Broad View Elementary also had a walkathon on Sept.

25.

According to Carolyn Blossom, a para-educator at the school, students there raised about $9,000, which is more than last year.

The money will go toward playground equipment, enrichment programs, a new basketball hoop and other things of that nature, as well as toward field trips, transportation, clubs and safety patrol.

“The kids walked … about 450 miles,” Blossom said.

“They did really good. Our highest walker walked 3.75 miles.”

Every student in kindergarten through fifth grade participated, and each received a popsicle at the end. Blossom said the highest fundraiser won a movie night.

Oak Harbor Elementary also will be holding its own walkathon Oct. 3. Attendance secretary Pam Glein said proceeds will go toward class field trips.

“Each grade has a specific field trip they’re raising money for,” Glein said.

Last year, the students raised about $5,600.

Feed business riding high at new location

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

After two years of work and planning, Steve Metcalfe and Suzette Keller’s feed and tack has a storefront in Oak Harbor.

Whidbey Farmers Feed and Tack Supply, which used to run out of Metcalfe’s home, opened a location on Oak Harbor Road in August.

They agree that the move was a good one.

“At the farm, you could only do so much, and it was kind of out of the way,” Metcalfe said. “This way, we have more room for product and are just closer to town.”

The store stocks various feed for different animals, as well has different kinds of hay, tack and other products used to care for animals.

“Horses, chickens, goats, cows, llamas, alpacas, pigs, I think everything,” Metcalfe said of the types of animal feed stocked.

“And then if we don’t have it, we just ship it in.”

The ability to provide customers with the products they want, and not just the ones they stock in their store, is one of the reasons Metcalfe said he got into

always find the type of products he needed there. That store, he said, didn’t offer a policy of finding their customer what they needed, if possible.

“I think it’s more that type of thing that kind of helps drive what we do here,” he said, “because we want to help them get whatever it is they use and not just sell them what we have.”

For Keller, that is one of the challenges of owning the business.

“There’s so many different ways to do things

with horses,” Keller said.

“Everybody has their own theories on what’s good, what’s bad, so trying to keep up with what everybody wants and needs, that’s kind of hard.”

But it’s worth it.

Both Keller and Metcalfe have had horses for years.

They said offering this kind of service to others is important to them.

“It’s such a small horse community here on the island,” Keller said.

“Everybody knows everybody. We’re all friends. So

it’s kind of a social thing and providing a service to them, our friends.”

It wasn’t easy starting out in business.

When he first opened, Metcalf said that finding companies that would allow him to sell their products was challenging. He ended up going to Oregon for product.

“If you don’t have a storefront, they won’t sell you anything,” Metcalfe said.

“It wasn’t just handed to me. It was work. It took two years to get it.”

Finally having a storefront, he said, “opens the door up for more things for you to get.”

The business now receives weekly shipments.

Metcalfe said he still goes to get the hay himself, traveling periodically to Eastern Washington.

“Our hay is really quality hay,” said Tatiana Metcalfe, Steve’s wife. “A lot of people have been telling us what a great job we do getting our hay here and how amazing it is and the horses love it.”

Tatiana operates the store.

Since opening, she said, more and more people are stopping by because of the increased visibility and closer proximity to town.

“I guess when it was on our property, it was kind of hidden, but now it’s more open to whoever’s driving by,” she said.

Customer service is always the highest priority for the owners.

One service Metcalfe has offered since opening two years ago is delivery for those who can’t pick up their hay.

“There’s a lot of elderly people that have animals too, but they can’t come pick it up. So I just make sure that they can get it.

“I don’t make any more than them just coming to pick it up here,” Metcalfe said. “It’s more just a service so they can get their stuff.”

The store is located at 3060 Oak Harbor Road.

“It’s new, it’s growing, it’s exciting,” Keller said.

“We love it. It’s fun.”

ating within the parameters of his position.

“He has the right to do it, it gives him the ability,” Guillot said. “If he believes there’s an imminent threat, he can use force.”

While Congress doesn’t have the power to stop the president-ordered military action, it could vote to cut off the funding for the operation, a move Guillot said he would support.

Despite representing a primarily liberal state in which voters legalized marijuana, Larsen said he isn’t in favor of legalizing marijuana at a federal level, but just wanted to “get out of the way” of the new legislation.

Guillot said he has no issues with marijuana as long as people follow the laws and pay the appropriate taxes.

Guillot said he would support a federal legalization if elected.

Larsen, a supporter of the oil and gas rail industry, has called for increased regulation and support for the country’s railway systems.

“Moving goods and people safely and efficiently creates jobs and keeps our economy strong,” Larsen said in a prepared release. “Washington state’s trade in products from airplane parts to apples means we need a robust transportation system, including railways.”

Guillot said he isn’t in favor of the coal or oil trains. He conceded that “may sound strange coming from a Republican.”

Increased train traffic would translate into roadblocks on major highways, he said, explaining why he’s not supportive of the industry.

“I believe it would cause way too much traffic.”

Both Larsen and Guillot agree that Whidbey Island Naval Air Station should be the home to the controversial EA-18G Growlers and that Outlying Field Coupeville should continue to be used for training.

They are also both supportive of protecting Washington’s environmental resources.

On the issues of immigration, gun control and balancing the budget, however, they align more with their respective parties.

Guillot said he doesn’t favor amnesty, but rather would like to see the immigration process simplified.

“I want to ensure the borders are secure,” he said. “I think there are ways we can expedite the immigration. It’s a very long and costly process now.

“We need to take a long look at it and see how we can speed it up.”

Larsen said he supports a path to citizenship that would allow amnesty to those who are currently living illegally in this country.

said he has supported three attempts to reform immigration.

“I’m on my third iteration of immigration reform,” Larsen said. “It’s frustrating to me that we can’t get the ball over the line on that issue.”

Guillot said he supports a fair-tax model, one which would eliminate all payroll taxes and create a type of national sales tax based on consumption.

Larsen, who supports the current progressive tax system, said he believes a fair tax is simply “a way to shrink the size of government and not solve any of the problems.”

Larsen said he also disagrees with Guillot’s support of a Constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget, explaining he believes it would limit the government’s ability to respond to a crisis.

“What I want to see is the United States having a balanced budget,” Guillot said.

“It’s gonna take some work to get to that, but it should be a goal.”

Larsen said there are more practical ways to keep in check government spending.

A supporter of pro-background-check legislation, Larsen said he supports tighter gun control, particularly with regard to larger weapons such as assault rifles. That, he said, should be a priority.

Guillot, a gun owner himself, said he supports the right to carry a gun.

“We don’t need background checks,” Guillot said.

“The constitution clearly states that we have the right to keep and bear arms, and I fully support that.

“I’m a gun owner, and I’m proud to be a gun owner.”

OHSD CONTINUED FROM A1 The student population was projected to increase by 144 new students, but ended up with only 81 more than last year.

“We’re well above what we were this time last year,” said Steve King, assistant superintendent for the school district, “but we’re well below projected.”

The elementary and middle schools increased by fewer students than expected, but the high school went over projections, with 22 more students than budgeted.

“High school is the one place we were above projections,” King said.

To adjust for the smaller enrollment than they expected, the teaching staff increased by three fewer positions than they budgeted for.

“We certainly have grade levels that are full and grade levels that have some room,” said Lance Gibbon, superintendent of the Oak Harbor schools.

Gibbon said the average class sizes for kindergarten through eighth grade is down by a little more than one student per class.

Kindergarten shows the most change, though, with an average class size of 20.3 students. Last year, the average size was 23.9, a change Gibbon said was “very intentional.”

“If we’re going to reduce class sizes anywhere, we’re going to reduce in kinder-

Fourth and fifth grade, however, have the largest average class sizes, 25.8 and 26.1 respectively.

Audra Evans, who teaches fifth grade at Oak Harbor Elementary with a class size of 26 students, said that having such a large class limits the amount of time she can do one-on-one or small group instruction.

“Smaller class sizes would be optimal for teaching,” Evans said.

Erica Bailey, another fifth grade teacher at OHE with 25 students in her class, said she agrees that class sizes should be smaller.

“I’d love to have fewer, but it’s manageable,” Bailey said.

Grading takes more time with a larger class, she said.

“Twenty five is certainly better than 28.”

However, class sizes shrinking doesn’t seem very possible in the near future.

With the Navy planning to bring more personnel and their families to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station over

the next few years, the school district expects to see major increases in enrollment.

“We definitely hope to be able to maintain … those levels, or close to those levels, as much as possible,” Gibbon said.

This year, the school district added six new elementary classrooms in three different portable buildings. Gibbon said that in the future, portables is the most likely option to accommodate more growth.

He also said they hope to continue to budget for more growth than they get, because it’s easier to add fewer teachers than it is to add more in the middle of a school year.

Gibbon said they will “try to always have room and have capacity.”

“The problem is … it’s always projections,” Gibbon said. “This year, we projected too high.

“We’re going to do the best that we can to anticipate growth.”

IN OUR OPINION Main Street program offers ray of hope to struggling downtown Despite misunderstandings following a tense email exchange this week between members of Oak Harbor’s Downtown Merchants Association, there did come encouraging news Tuesday.

The city is moving forward in pursuing the Main Street program.

While unfortunate, the exchange between association president Heather Carder and past president Margaret Livermore exemplifies the need for the downtown merchants to have a unified direction and a more defined purpose.

The Main Street program offers some proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel.”

However, there remains a lot of work ahead, and a determination of whether Oak Harbor fits within the constraints of the program.

Under the direction of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, the Main Street program follows a four--point approach to economic revitalization: Organization, promotion, design and economic restructuring.

For every $1 the state invests, an additional $41 in private investment is generated, according to the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation’s website.

Among the determinations of whether Oak Harbor’s downtown is a good fit for the Main Street program is how much value is placed by the community on historic preservation.

“Retaining and reusing your commercial district’s existing building is an important cornerstone of the program,” says the Main Street Center’s website.

“Local stakeholders need to be receptive to ‘recycling’ existing businesses for new economic uses and to being respectful of the traditional architecture and overall character of the traditional business district.”

The city is acting as a facilitator to allow the process to move forward, Ethan Spoo, the city’s economic development coordinator.

“I anticipate here shortly all organizations will continue to work together to see what we can do to drive people not only to Oak Harbor but to downtown,” said Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley.

“It’s a win-win situation for everybody.”

It’s our hope is that downtown Oak Harbor is indeed a fit for the Main Street Program. It offers the promise of revitalization for the heart of this city — something that has proven elusive until now.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Island Transit

Wondered why Dudley was seated on board Editor, “(Mayor Scott) Dudley 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.”

When I first hear that the Oak Harbor City Council appointed Mayor Dudley to the Island Transit board, my first thought was, “Why?” The above paragraph from the Sept.

27 Whidbey News-Times may be my answer. It shows Mayor Dudley’s true character as a leader.

Rita Dybdahl Cline Oak Harbor

Kuykendall knows how ‘send all’ key works Editor, In response to acting financial manager of Island Transit Sandra

Kuykendall’s letter in the Sept. 24 Whidbey News-Times, the following should be noted: If the transit board members from Island County and the three city jurisdictions were aware of her backhanded threatening letter to current employees of the transit, coupled with the disparaging remarks about one of the board members — no less the mayor of Oak Harbor — why was that not addressed during the last meeting?

I know the county has an electronic communications policy, and I am sure the same could be said about the other municipalities. If this had occurred on the county system, you can bet the sender would have been halfway out on a sawed-off limb.

So why now is a contracted employee allowed to misuse the public paid transit system without repercussions?

Somebody in charge needs to limit Ms. Kuykendall’s electronic correspondence to job-related duties.

Better yet, just replace her.

She can’t find all the invoices or provide complete financial reports but has no problem with the “send all” key.

Unless the board is seeing her actions through rose-colored glasses, respect for the system and the process must be paid.

I was here when the Oak Harbor pool vote passed with all of the testimony regarding self support and no taxes. We all know how that boondoggle turned out.

Now it’s Island Transit’s turn in the light, and you have the public’s attention.

Tread wisely.

Higher education must be budget priority SOUND OFF

By SEN. BARBARA BAILEY As parents send their kids off to college this fall, many are enjoying something that hasn’t happened in more than 30 years: the first two-year state college-tuition freeze in Washington since 1981.

As chair of the Senate Higher Education Committee, I believe that keeping tuition costs down is the single greatest legislative action we can do to create more career and job opportunities for young people.

However, the work we’ve done over the past two years is now in jeopardy.

Recently, Gov. Jay Inslee asked all state agencies, including our institutions of higher learning, to prepare for 15 percent budget cuts.

The reality of the cuts is that state universities could be forced to raise tuition costs to offset reductions in funding from Olympia.

This is unacceptable, which is why I will call on the governor to hold the line on funding for our state’s institutions of higher education in his 20152017 budget proposal.

For too long, higher education budgets have been used as a piggy bank to fund other government programs. The next state budget may prove to be no different.

Every time there has been a shortfall in the state’s budget, money has been taken from higher education to backfill the shortage.

The proposed cut in higher-education budgets by the governor could trigger as much as a 26-percent increase in tuition over the next two years.

That’s an average of $3,000 more per student to attend our state’s research institutions. This, in effect, would act like a tax increase on working families and students already struggling with debt.

Nationally, college debt is at a staggering $1 trillion with far-reaching consequences on our economy. The age of a first-time homebuyer continues to increase, now at 31 years old.

Home ownership among people younger than 35 has fallen to the lowest level in more than 30 years, to only 36.2 percent.

This isn’t due to a lack of desire for home ownership, rather the financial realities of dedicating a significant portion of their incomes to paying off student loans. In some cases, student-loan payments can be more than a mortgage, pushing the prospect of home ownership out of reach.

A recent report by the University of Pennsylvania is very revealing about college affordability.

The report concludes that state political leaders have “abdicated their role in higher education,” leaving students to bear the brunt of rising tuition and mounting student debt.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, tuition at the University of Washington’s Seattle campus increased 42 percent from 2010 to 2013.

In 2013, that all changed when the Senate Majority Coalition took control of our state Senate. We saw an opportunity to freeze tuition for the first time in 27 years. This year, House leaders attempted to resume annual tuition hikes; fortunately, the Senate majority’s position prevailed, freezing tuition again for the 20142015 school year.

While keeping tuition costs down, we also invested nearly another $70

million in our college students this year.

This is in addition to 2013’s investment of more than $300 million into higher education and demonstrates our continued commitment to an affordable college education.

Recently, our state’s colleges were ranked highly by Washington Monthly in their “Best Bang for the Buck” list. That’s good news and one more reason why keeping state college tuition affordable must be a top priority for the Legislature.

We need to explore every policy that will give students access to a quality and affordable post-secondary education.

As Dr. Rodolfo Arévalo, former president of Eastern Washington University, stated, “It is my strong belief that holding down the cost of tuition is the best financial aid we can give students. This will allow students to achieve their academic goals while reducing their student debt.”

Let us hope that Gov. Inslee and House leaders have gotten the message. n Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, is the chair of the Senate Higher Education Committee.

naval air station provides much-needed jobs and revenue to Island County.

My husband grew up in a Navy household, as his father retired from NAS Whidbey as a senior chief. I also understand the importance of pilot training and the role that the OLF Coupeville plays in providing this carrier-based training.

I believe every citizen in Island County has a right to be heard by their elected officials.

My role, if I am elected commissioner, is to listen to all sides of all issues.

If elected, I would work alongside my fellow elected officials and the leadership of NAS Whidbey to help all the parties find common ground.

The war of words has been very damaging and has created much frustration and anger.

We need to move away from this and find ways to come together, encouraging dialogue among all the parties.

Editor, thank you for the opportunity you have given me to clear the air and allow the citizens to hear directly from me.

If you would like to see leadership that will work to

find common ground, vote for Karla Jacks as your next District 3 Island County commissioner.

Politics

Some research helps to bring perspective Editor, Ed Hickey’s letter in the Sept. 27 Whidbey NewsTimes had some good points I’d agree with if I weren’t curious.

Perspective always helps.

Curious about bills in the Senate, I found a bar chart showing House legislation unaddressed by the Senate for the past 20 years.

The chart is subject to interpretation, but I estimate an average of 345 at the end of each year’s Congressional session.

This year’s total is 352, or what’s called “business as usual.”

There’s not enough space here to look at each stalled bill.

The Working Families Flexibility Act passed the House with 220 Republican

Treasurer

Will not apologize for taking time to help my family Editor and citizens of Island County, My opponent claims I was absent from my office 50 percent of the year.

Untrue. I was gone from my office to care for my sister, who was fighting breast cancer for three months, time allowed under the Family Medical Leave Act. However, as agreed with the Board of Island County Commissioners, I did telecommute from her home, completing the work for which I am responsible.

I conducted weekly teleconferences with the chief

deputy and accountant, staying apprised of issues in my office.

I will not apologize for allowing myself what I would not have begrudged anyone, Wanda Grone included — time needed to care for a family member.

My attendance, asked and answered.

How could my opponent claim to advise me on work she herself had never performed?

To state or imply her advice was ignored and errors occurred because of this is another of her untrue allegations.

According to the Whidbey News-Times/South Whidbey

Record, my opponent said, “Everyone should be able to come in every day, know what they have to do, do their work and go home.”

Ms. Grone is stating, as chief deputy, she was still unable to discern her duties and responsibilities without direct instructions after 3-1/4 years.

Would you keep an employee who was supposed to manage the office and now admits she could not even do her job without direct supervision?

I look forward to debating real issues concerning the treasurer’s office.

Melissa ‘Missy’ LillieAmarette Vaughn

Melissa (Missy) Vaughn, after a four-year battle with cancer, went to her Lord on Sept. 19, 2014. She fought the good fight with all she had, and no matter how much she wanted to stay for her family, she could not win that battle. And so, in the end, she went peacefully surrounded by family.

Missy Simmons Vaughn was born in Talladega, Ala., to Rosemary and Walter Simmons. As a “Navy brat,” she moved to various locations over the years.

Rosemary was later remar-

ried, and Missy came to call Charles Devers “Dad.” The life of a Navy brat took the family to Millington, Tenn., where she would graduate high school in 1991.

At the age of 18, following in the footsteps of her father and stepfather, Missy enlisted in the Navy. During Missy’s time in the Navy, she met and married Lewis Beauchamp and later had her first son, Mason.

Throughout her Navy career, Missy served as an Aviation Ordinanceman on F-14 fighters (VF-211) and SH-60 helicopters (HS-8 & HS-10). While cross-training as a Corpsman aboard the USS Nimitz, she met her future husband, Darren Vaughn. With Darren, Missy would go on to give birth to her second son, Trevor.

After eight years of service, Missy left the Navy to focus on her family. As a Navy wife, her service experience, along with a huge heart, was reflected in her position as Ombudsman for VAW-112 and treasurer for the local Whidbey Island DAV chapter, assisting service members’ families and veterans navigating military life and the cumbersome Veterans Affairs system.

In 2011, Missy achieved her lifelong goal of graduating college with a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership, Magna Cum Laude.

She devoted her free time to

Coupeville, Oak Harbor football teams notch impressive conference victories

The Coupeville and Oak Harbor high school football teams each posted impressive conference wins Friday, Sept. 26.

The Wolves trumped visiting Port Townsend 29-21 to become the early leader in the Olympic League 1A division.

Oak Harbor opened Western Conference action with a 42-0 shellacking of host Everett, letting the league know the Wildcats are in the running for the title once again.

Besides scoring three touchdowns, Kelley rambled for a career-high 189 yards on 14 carries.

Bayne also went over the century mark, amassing 144 yards on 18 carries.

Walstad hit six of nine passes for 102 yards before leaving with an injury. C.J. Smith filled in nicely, connecting on two of his three passes for 12 yards.

Ryan Griggs led the receivers with five catches for 80 yards.

While the Wolves were generating 490 yards of offense, they were limiting the Redhawks to 246.

Wolves build lead, hold on

Defense shines in Wildcat romp

Port Townsend (1-1, 2-2) was the preseason favorite to win the four-team 1A division of the Olympic League, but the Wolves’ win now makes Coupeville the front runner.

Coupeville (2-0, 3-1) already defeated Chimacum (0-2, 0-4) and now faces the other 1A team, Klahowya (1-1, 1-3), at 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3, in Silverdale in the final game of the first round.

The 1A teams will play each other again to complete the conference schedule.

Coupeville sprinted to a 29-7 lead over Port Townsend then used four second-half interceptions to thwart the Redhawks’ comeback bid.

Lathom Kelley started the Coupeville scoring with a rushing touchdown midway

Oak Harbor scored all of its points in the first half, but the most impressive statistic belonged to the defense.

The Wildcats limited Everett (0-1, 0-4) to only 86 total yards.

Oak Harbor was particularly stingy on the ground, holding the Seagulls to 11 rushing yards on 28 carries, or less than half a yard per try.

Mark Johnston and Dejon Devroe, who “had really good defensive games,” according to coach Jay Turner, paced the standout effort by Oak Harbor.

Michael Laningham scored on a pick-six, Devroe and D’Andre Bellamy recovered fumbles and Koby Cosper recorded a sack to

Joel Walstad added the PAT. Port Townsend answered on its next possession, then the Wolves began to pull away.

First, Walstad bulled in on a quarterback sneak.

Then Coupeville coach Tony Maggio got sneaky, calling for a fake punt. Kelley bolted 46 yards for a touchdown on the play.

Matt Shank continued to

demoralize the Redhawks by recording a safety.

Later in the second quarter, Kelley picked up his third touchdown on an eightyard run, and the stunned Redhawks trailed 29-7.

Port Townsend managed to score just before the half, then made things interesting after the break.

Time to plan your pumpkin picking Farms on North and Central Whidbey offer pumpkins and other attractions

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

The days of thousands of turkeys strutting around the Case Farm are long over.

Still, Mike and Sheila CaseSmith like to keep a couple dozen turkeys around.

They know how much children enjoy them during visits to the North Whidbey farm every October.

“Kids will find ways for them to make noises,” Sheila said. “That’s part of the fun ... to make them talk turkey.

“It’s all part of the farm experience.”

October is the month that a handful of farms on North and Central Whidbey open up their pumpkin patches for the public to peruse.

For some families, picking out a pumpkin in the country is a fall tradition much like cutting down a Christmas tree in the winter.

Some can’t wait.

“We wanted to pick up one today, but it’s not open yet,” said Anicka Ellis, who visited Dugualla Bay Farms with her son and two grandchildren Monday. “We’ll be back this weekend.”

Dugualla Bay Farms and the Case Farm, both on North Whidbey, open up their pumpkin patches Oct. 1 and will be open every day this month.

Sherman’s Pioneer Farm in Coupeville, another popular Whidbey destination, officially opens Saturday morning.

Although U-pick pumpkins are the main draw, each farm also features other attractions.

At Sherman’s Pioneer Farm, a tradition for decades has been a trolley ride to the pumpkin patch. These rides will take place Saturdays and Sundays only.

Dale and Liz Sherman also have a farm stand where visitors may purchase a variety of squash and other types of pumpkins, including ghostwhite lumina and reddish

Hunter Bechtol places a ghost pumpkin into a bin as he tries to keep up with Darrell Armstrong on a tractor last week on Dale and Liz Sherman’s pumpkin patch in Coupeville. Sherman’s Pioneer Farm on Ebey Road will sell a variety of pumpkins and offer trolley rides when the farm opens for the season Saturday, Oct. 4.

Emily Meagher, left, stands at the entrance of a corn maze at Dugualla Bay Farms in Oak Harbor, while Mike and Sheila Case-Smith get ready for another season of greeting visitors at their pumpkin patch and farm stand at the Case Farm. Among the other Case Farm attractions are inquisitive and vocal turkeys.

Cinderella.

“Young people with kids come for the pumpkins,” Dale Sherman said. “Older people come for the squash.”

The pumpkin patch at Sherman’s Pioneer Farm is part of a series of activities taking place this month in Coupeville all falling under the themed title, “The Haunting of Coupeville.”

Activities at other sites in Coupeville include a costumed pet parade, corn maze

and ghost walk. For a complete rundown, check out www.hauntingofcoupe ville.com On North Whidbey, Dugualla Bay Farms also will be featuring a corn maze with extended hours Fridays and Saturdays to allow visitors to travel through the maze in the dark using flashlights. At a farm stand, squash, pumpkins, corn stalks, bales of hay and produce are sold.

The Case Farm relies more on its country charm.

It has a small corn maze for young children, but the biggest attractions are the large pumpkin patch, a farm stand, peacocks and, of course, turkeys.

About 40 groups of preschoolers and kindergartners are scheduled to visit the farm this month.

“Mike likes to go crazy with pumpkin varieties,” Sheila said. “I think we have

at least 40 different kinds, from miniatures you can hold in your hand to the big 40-to-50-pounders you can hardly carry.”

CASE FARM, located at 98 Case Road in Oak Harbor, opens Oct. 1 with business hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through first weekend of November.

DUGUALLA BAY FARMS, located at 36699 State Highway 20 in Oak

Harbor, opens Oct. 1 with hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day through October with extended hours until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday for flashlight corn maze trips.

SHERMAN’S PIONEER FARM, located at 46 S. Ebey Road in Coupeville, opens Saturday, Oct. 4. Its hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekends. Trolley rides are only offered Saturdays and Sundays.

AUDIT REPORT CONTINUED FROM A1 internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be significant deficiencies,” according to the finding documents released by the state Auditor.

The reports are compiled by the Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider’s office, which saw a high degree of turnover in the past year. The state Auditor concluded that Crider’s staff turnover contributed to the county reports’ lack of accuracy.

“The county experienced turnover in the positions primarily responsible for the

creation of the financial statements and has not dedicated the necessary time, resources and oversight to ensure accurate financial reporting,” the state auditor concluded.

Crider said her office lost five employees to other Island County departments or when employees moved out of state over the past year.

She said she had a fairly static team of good accountants for several years but they all moved onto advanced, betterpaying positions.

However, the turnover was not the only contributing fac-

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

tor to the state audit finding, Crider said.

A couple of the county’s departments missed the May deadline to submit data to her office and the county ended up filing 44 days late, Crider said.

“We were late getting our financial statements to the state Auditor’s Office because we had to reopen the books on five separate occasions,” she explained.

“It was extremely disappointing.”

Island County Budget Director Elaine Marlow, who

sat in on the state auditor’s exit meeting, said the main concern for auditors was that a couple of the line items were misclassified, mistakes that were corrected before the audit was completed.

Marlow stressed that no money was misplaced.

Though she has completed these reports for several years for the county in the past, Marlow said that small mistakes can occur even though the aim is to get everything perfect.

State auditors also noted other errors in the financial

Wednesday, October 1, 2014 • Whidbey News-Times

statements “when t a k e n together impair the understandability of the financial CRIDER report.”

“The errors required us to perform additional audit procedures to ensure correct reporting,” the state audit report said.

The state auditor went on to say that the errors found

may indicate an environment in which additional misstatements could occur and may not be prevented or detected by the county.

The state Auditor recommends that Island County provide additional training for its financial accountants and establish a more effective review process.

State auditors said they will review the county’s progress on this front during the next annual audit. The financial audit report’s accompanying accountability audit report found no problems.
