Navy EIS to include up to 36 Growlers

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

The Navy says it is revising its Environmental Impact Statement on the EA-18G Growlers to include up to 36 additional aircraft based at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Public meetings to gather comment will be held in late October.

The additional scoping period, which is Oct. 10 through Nov. 24, will push the completion of the draft EIS to spring 2016 with a published decision planned for spring 2017.

A draft EIS was originally slated to be released next year with a 2016 decision.

The Navy announced in July plans to consider larger Growler squadrons, including scenarios that would increase the five-aircraft carrier Electronic Attack Squadrons to seven or eight. The EIS is looking at Growler operations at both Ault Field at NAS Whidbey and Outlying Field Coupeville.

Aside from the “no action” option, the four other alternatives would increase the Navy’s total number of Growlers by anywhere from 13 to 36.

The Navy requested funding for 22 additional Growlers earlier this year. That request was placed on hold pending the results of the EIS.

WSU turning over lighthouse to parks

By MEGAN HANSEN Staff reporter

Management of Admiralty Head Lighthouse will change later this year and an employment position will be opening up.

The lighthouse is currently managed by Washington State University’s Island County Extension, but the Washington State Parks will be taking over.

In the 1990s, the lighthouse wasn’t even open, said WSU Extension Director Tim Lawrence.

WSU worked with the parks service to create a docent program and reopen it.

Funding for a lighthouse manager position is funded by the state’s Lighthouse Environmental Program through the county.

Volunteers were already being logged as Parks volunteers. The question arose

whether the parks service wanted an outside employee managing parks volunteers.

Having a parks employee supervise the volunteers limits the liability, said Jon Crimmins, Fort Casey park ranger. “This is the most direct way.”

In December the reins will be turned over and the county will lay off the current lighthouse manager.

“It makes a lot of sense,” Lawrence said. “The lighthouse is owned by Parks.”

Crimmins said the parks service will advertise for a new manager, but probably not until early 2015.

“There are a lot of steps between now and then,” he said.

The Lighthouse Environmental Program Board should be voting on a “friends” agreement with the Parks Service to continue funding the position.

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

Once that agreement is in place, the Parks Service can move forward.

There will be a time the program will be without a manager, but Crimmins said the lighthouse is actually closed during that time.

During the interim, he will manage the program.

The position will be posted locally as well as on the state parks website, he said.

In exchange for managing the program, WSU utilized office space inside the lighthouse.

Lawrence said WSU will continue using those offices and will be offering additional programing at Fort Casey through its Beachwatchers and Waste Wise programs.

A display made by BeachWatchers on the second floor of the space is currently in the works.

WSU will continue to providing space for the lighthouse program.

“I think it’s been a good relationship,” Lawrence said. “It’s a natural evolution. WSU was able to serve an important role.”

THE NAVY HAS ISSUED A REVISED NOTICE OF INTENT TO PREPARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR EA-18G GROWLER AIRFIELD OPERATIONS AT NAVAL AIR STATION WHIDBEY ISLAND AND IS RE-SCOPING THE EIS EFFORT CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. YOU ARE INVITED TO AN OPEN HOUSE SCOPING MEETING TO SUBMIT COMMENTS ON THE REVISED EIS SCOPE. THE NAVY PUBLISHED A NOTICE OF INTENT (NOI) TO REVISE THE SCOPE OF THE ONGOING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (EIS) for EA-18G Growler Airfield Operations at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Washington, and to announce public scoping meetings in the Federal Register on October 10, 2014. The EIS will now address the environmental impacts associated with the potential addition of up to 36 EA-18G Growler aircraft.

Last September, the Navy began an EIS to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the addition of two new expeditionary squadrons and additional aircraft to the training squadron. Scoping was conducted between September 2013 and January 2014 on that proposed action, and open house scoping meetings were held in December 2013 to discuss the proposal.

During spring 2014, the Chief of Naval Operations submitted an Unfunded Requirements List as part of the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2015 that included a request to purchase 22 additional Growler aircraft. While it is unclear whether more Growlers will ultimately be procured, the Navy is electing to analyze the potential for these aircraft in order to be proactive and transparent. Therefore, a new scoping process is needed and has been initiated based on the proposed action.

THE NAVY IS HOLDING THREE OPEN HOUSE SCOPING MEETINGS to provide members of the public with the opportunity to submit comments on the scope of analysis and content to be addressed in the EIS. Each of the scoping meetings will be informal and consist of information stations staffed by Navy representatives. Members of the public may arrive at the open house scoping meetings anytime between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on one of the following dates and locations: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 Coupeville, Washington Coupeville High School Commons Area 501 South Main Street Coupeville, WA 98239

Wednesday, October 29, 2014 Oak Harbor, Washington Oak Harbor Elks Lodge 155 NE Ernst Street Oak Harbor, WA 98277

Thursday, October 30, 2014 Anacortes, Washington Anacortes High School Cafeteria 1600 20th Street Anacortes, WA 98221

The public scoping materials are available for review at http://www.whidbeyeis.com.

THE NAVY IS REQUESTING AND WELCOMES PUBLIC COMMENTS.* The public comment period for the EIS was initiated with the publication of the NOI in the Federal Register. Written and oral comments may be submitted at the scoping meetings. Written comments may also be submitted online at the project website or mailed to: EA-18G EIS Project Manager Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, Attn: Code EV21/SS 6506 Hampton Blvd., Norfolk, VA 23508 All comments must be postmarked or received online no later than November 24, 2014. *The names, street addresses, email addresses and screen names, telephone numbers, and other personally identifiable information of individuals who provide comments will be kept confidential and will not be released, unless otherwise specifically indicated by the commenter or as required by law.

Oak Harbor chamber OK with new lodging-tax grant process

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Members of the Oak Harbor City Council won’t be able to simply issue the city’s chamber of commerce $80,000 checks anymore.

At least not without the say-so of a sevenmember committee.

Last year, the members of the City Council voted to give the chamber $80,000 over the objection of Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley.

The mayor proposed diverting those funds toward efforts to bring more special events to the city.

A change in state law means that the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee will decide what organizations get lodging tax dollars, which is supposed to be earmarked toward projects that draw out-of-town visitors to the city.

In the past, the committee was only an advisory one, but the City Council got the final say. Now, the council still must approve the recommendations, but it cannot increase the amount, nor can it award money the committee didn’t approve; it can, however, remove items from the list.

Christine Cribb, the new executive director for the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, said she doesn’t see the change in the process as a problem, but rather an opportunity.

It will give her a chance to show the committee and community all of the good work the chamber does, she said.

“I’m excited,” Cribb said. “Everyone seems

to be extremely supportive of the chamber.”

During a recent interview, Dudley said the chamber “automatically” got the funds in the past, but that has changed.

“Going forward, they’ll have to apply for it,” he said, “and justify why they need the dollars.”

Dudley said he is supportive of the chamber, especially now that Cribb is at the helm.

He said he appreciates that she reached out to the city administration.

Cribb and Dudley both said they look forward to a good working relationship.

Dudley said he’s more interested in the large reserve fund that’s been sitting in the bank for years.

The lodging tax, also known as “2 percent funds,” brings in about $180,000 a year, according to Finance Director Doug Merriman. There’s currently $600,000 in the fund, some of which was earmarked years ago for a downtown clock tower.

Merriman said the committee usually gives out the amount that came in that year.

Dudley said the large fund balance should be used to bring more visitors to the city, which is the whole point of the tax, he said.

That decision won’t be up to the mayor.

The lodging tax committee is composed of three people who represent lodging facilities, three people who represent groups that would receive the money and a member of the City Council.

The committee is expected to make its recommendations in November or December.

Deputies union supports fired detective

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The deputies’ union is seeking arbitration over the Island County sheriff’s decision to fire a detective who is accused of sexual harassment.

John Nieder, a 13-year veteran of the office, lost his job this past summer after another employee in the office accused him of inappropriately touching her and making sexual and belittling comments, according to Undersheriff Kelly Mauck.

“It was really a textbook case of sexual harassment‚“ Mauck said.

Deputy Darren Crownover, the head of the guild, said the guild’s executive board voted to support Nieder in the arbitration.

“What we believe is that the punishment doesn’t really fit the conduct,” he said. “We believe there was misconduct and we don’t condone that, but some of the allegations should not have been sustained.”

Crownover said even the victim of the alleged harassment felt that termination was too harsh.

Mauck said the administration has no tolerance for such discriminatory harassment, which violates the department’s code of ethics, the conduct policy and the oath of office. He said the office has regular training about sexual harassment, which Nieder participated

in as late as last March.

“We hold our employees to the highest standard,” he said.

Nieder was also investigated this summer for allegedly assaulting a citizen while on duty this summer.

The Skagit County Prosecutor’s Office, handling the case to avoid a potential conflict of interest, has yet to make a charging decision in the case, Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks said.

The alleged assault was in connection with a June 3 traffic stop, said Mauck.

Nieder stopped a motorcyclist in Oak Harbor. Mauck said the motorcyclist was “mouthy” and Nieder allegedly pushed him off his motorcycle.

The motorcyclist complained to the sheriff’s office the next day. Another law enforcement officer at the scene corroborated the victim’s allegations, Mauck said.

Nieder was placed on paid administrative leave the next day.

Banks asked the Skagit County prosecutor to make a decision on whether to charge Nieder with fourth-degree assault.

An employee made the sexual harassment allegation against Nieder June 10, said Mauck.

Mauck said he asked Island County’s Human Resources department to look

Sheriff Mark Brown fired Nieder, effective July 21. The termination was based on the sexual harassment allegations.

Nieder appealed to the sheriff; Brown denied the appeal.

The Island County Deputy’s Guild advised the sheriff this week that it wants arbitration for Nieder, which is a right specified under the guild’s contract.

An independent arbitrator will decide whether to uphold the termination, modify the termination or reinstate Nieder, Mauck explained.

Nieder has one letter of reprimand in his file, but it wasn’t related to harassment, sexual or otherwise, according to the undersheriff.

Mauck said there hasn’t yet been an internal investigation into the assault allegations. He said that won’t happen until after any criminal case is resolved.

The sexual harassment allegations are an isolated, albeit embarrassing, incident for the department, Mauck said.

Mauck said he and the sheriff take a hard line on the issue.

“It is not pervasive in any shape or form in our department,” he said. “This is quite the exception.”

Surveillance video from Wells Fargo bank in Clinton shows a bank-robbery suspect.

Island burglary suspect apprehended in Forks

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

One of South Whidbey’s most wanted is in police custody this week.

Christian Shorey, 34, was arrested in Forks Sunday after allegedly burglarizing a bar. He was arraigned Thursday in Clallam County Superior Court Shorey faces charges of second-degree burglary and theft in the second degree, both felonies.

He’s being held in the Clallam County Corrections Facility in Port Angeles in lieu of $10,000 bail.

Shorey is a person of interest in the September armed robbery of Wells Fargo Bank in Clinton and is also wanted on a $10,000 felony warrant for burglary second degree and failure to appear in court.

It’s unclear when Shorey will be returned to Island County to face charges, but Sheriff Mark Brown said he was confident it will happen.

“I can’t see that not happening,” Brown said. “The question is when.

“The good news is he’s in custody,” Brown added.

Shorey was arrested Sunday in the Rain Forest Mobile Home Park near the south end of Forks.

Police were investigating the burglary of the nearby Blakeslee’s Bar and Grill the

evening before, and reported they observed Shorey acting suspiciously.

Officers obtained a search warrant and found Shorey, $2,000 cash and alcohol from the bar inside, according to the Forks Forum. A second person may also have been involved in the crime, but the investigation remains ongoing.

The suspects in the burglary allegedly tried to disable security cameras at the bar but failed.

In a South Whidbey Record article last week about the Clinton bank robbery investigation, Brown said detectives identified three people of interest in the case but declined to release their identities for fear of driving them into hiding.

With Shorey’s apprehension, and because he is in police custody, Brown confirmed Thursday that Shorey was one of three people of interest.

At least four members of Shorey’s immediate family told detectives they believe it is his voice on a recording of a phony 9-1-1 call that preceded the bank heist.

Police believe the call was a diversionary tactic to draw officers away from Clinton, giving the robber more time to hit the bank and make a getaway.

Freshman class ‘Socktober’ drive to benefit homeless

Second-grader Grayson Darrow looks through the selection of books at Crescent Harbor Elementary’s book fair Wednesday.

Book fairs a win-win for schools

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

Encouraging a love of reading in students is important to Oak Harbor School District educators.

The elementary and middle schools, with the help of their Parent Teacher Organizations, held book fairs this week for students.

The book fairs featured books and book-related merchandise from Scholastic.

Each of these schools holds at least two book fairs a year, usually during conference time. That allows students to browse the selection during the school days on breaks or between classes, and then when parents go to the school for their conference, they can make purchases.

“It engages students’ interest in reading,” said Annette Stillwell, a para-educator at Crescent Harbor Elementary.

“It all kind of goes together and fosters excitement with the stories and gets them to

read more.”

Stillwell said that as soon as the trucks with the book fair merchandise arrived at the school, they unloaded metal boxes that would be unfolded into bookshelves. She said that as soon as they arrive, the students take notice.

“You can hardly contain the excitement,” she said.

The proceeds of the book fairs always go toward benefitting the students, either by enriching the library directly or by giving each teacher more books for their classrooms, or both.

“Everybody wins at the book fair because the kids get lots of books,” said Kari Chwirka, librarian at Oak Harbor Elementary. “The teachers get more books, the kids get more books and the library gets more books.

“Couldn’t be better than that.”

Alice Mikos, the Oak Harbor Middle School librarian, said that although reading is available through many sources such as school and

public libraries, she also likes to encourage students to own their own books, not just borrow them.

“When a student owns his own book, that is when he really begins to take ownership of the reading process,” Mikos said. “They will remember the book they bought and owned longer than the book they borrowed.”

Olympic View Elementary also holds a third book fair, near the end of the school year, so that students can find books to read over summer break. Sue Guinn of the PTO said that one is a buy-one/get -one off sale.

“That’s for the parents,” Guinn said. “We like to give the parents the ability to get their kids to read through the summer.”

But no matter how often they’re held or how many books are available for students, they’re always very popular.

“The kids love coming to the book fair,” said Ramona Ferguson, bookkeeper at North Whidbey Middle School.

“They’ve been buying books and are really excited to come in.”

The freshman class at Oak Harbor High School is stepping up their charitable efforts and collecting socks.

Each school year, the freshmen participate in two charity drives to benefit the community, and the current one is “Socktober,” a month-long drive which will culminate in donating socks to homeless shelters, local organizations and the Oak Harbor elementary schools.

“Whatever we did, we wanted to keep it local,” said Jerrod Fleury, a freshman advisor and assistant principal at the high school.

Fleury came across the charity online.

The freshman class is divided into “islands,” according to Fleury. Each island competes against the others. The winning island will include the freshmen who brought in the most socks during October, and they will earn spirit points.

“All we ask of kids is to bring in new pairs of socks,” Fleury said.

“This just struck me immediately as something that would be easy for kids to manage,” said Jennifer DePrey, a counselor at the high school helping to organize the charity drive.

Fleury said that the goal is to collect 800 pairs of socks, which averages roughly two pairs per student.

“We know that there’s some kids who’ll bring in five pairs, and some kids that won’t bring in any,” he said.

One week into the drive, the students have collected about 200 pairs of socks.

“We’re right where we want to be to hit that 800 mark,” Fleury said.

DePrey said that hav-

ing the freshmen do charity drives during the school year is something that has been going on for about four years.

“I think school is also kind of about good citizenship and being involved with your community,” she said.

Past charities have included a coat drive, a teddy bear drive, a toiletry drive and more. They always try to keep the beneficiaries of the drives local.

“It’s a pretty small community,” DePrey said of Oak Harbor. “We rely on each other a lot. It’s great to get our students involved in that community now.”

Socktober is the longest charity drive they’ve done so far, and DePrey said that keeping enthusiasm for it up for so long could be an obstacle.

“I think we’re going to have the challenge of keeping the excitement up and getting people involved,” DePrey said. “I’m really excited to see how it goes.”

DePrey said that anyone could donate socks if they wanted. All they would have to do would be to bring the socks to the high school and tell the front desk that the donation is for the Socktober Charity Drive.

“It’s hopefully something that we can continue and build on,” Fleury said. “It’s early right now, so we’re hoping it’ll pick up and not dwindle.”

Marv Koorn, chief of North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, shows off the 2010 used fire truck that the district recently purchased.

District gets new trucks

By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

North Whidbey Fire and Rescue will soon add two new engines to its fleet.

In compliance with insurance regulations, NWFR is replacing two firetrucks that are more than 15 years old with a used 2008 firetruck and a used 2010 firetruck.

“We’ve bought four used ones now,” said NWFR Chief Marv Koorn.

At the beginning of 2013, the district started looking at purchasing engines to replace old ones and ended up buying two used 2009 firetrucks.

Koorn said the fire district kept its eyes on the market as far as what was available, leading to the purchase of two used engines this year.

Koorn said the district purchased the engines at 30 to 37 percent of their original prices when the engines were new.

The 2008 engine, which will arrive in Oak Harbor in a couple weeks, was purchased for $105,000 and will have nine years of life left under the insurance regulations.

The 2010 vehicle, which arrived in Oak Harbor Thursday, Oct. 2, cost the district $285,000 and has 11 years of life left.

The 2010 engine will be at the Zylstra Road station and

was put into use Tuesday, Oct. 7.

The engines the newly purchased ones are replacing were sold to Cottonwood, Idaho, where they will continue to be used as firetrucks.

Also recently purchased

by NWFR are two new tender pumpers, also in compliance with insurance regulations.

One will go to the Silver Lake Station, which does not currently have an engine, to fill the requirement for both an engine and a pumper. The other tender pumper will go to the Monroe Landing station.

“This is all geared toward either keeping or bettering our insurance rates,” Koorn said of the purchases.

The current district rating is a six, on a scale of one to 10, where one is the best.

“I think there’s only one in the state of Washington that’s a one,” Koorn said. “For a rural district, six is a good rating.”

However, Koorn said the district is hoping the rating will change to a five.

“We’re hoping to get to a five, which would lower everybody’s home insurance rate,” Koorn said.

Their insurance will re-rate them Nov. 5, and the better the score the lower the rates will be. Keeping their fleet of engines newer than 15 years is one way to do that.

- - - - - - - OU/LUC Boundary This notice is to inform the public that pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, the U.S. Navy has completed the fourth Five-Year Review of Operable Unit (OU) 1 (Areas 5 and 6), OU 2 (Areas 2, 3, 4, and 29), OU 3 (Area 16), OU 4 (Areas 39, 41, 44, 48, and 49), and OU 5 (Areas 1, 31, and 52) at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, Washington to ensure that environmental remedies implemented at these sites are continuing to be protective of human health and the environment.

OUs 1, 2, 3, and 5 are located at NAS Whidbey’s Ault Field, where environmental contamination was identified in the past. OU 4 is located at NAS Whidbey Island’s Seaplane Base, where environmental contamination was identified in the past. These sites have undergone environmental investigation and/or remediation to address the potential impacts of contamination to human health and the environment. Based on this work and adherence to institutional controls at all of these sites, the general purposes of limiting exposure and groundwater use are continuing to be protective of human health and the environment.

Federal law and Navy policy require that if the remedy results in hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants to remain on a site above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure, a review must be conducted no less often than every five years after the initiation of the remedial action to ensure that the remedy is operating as planned and remains protective of human health and the environment. The Five-year review is also intended to identify possible deficiencies and recommend corrective actions.

IN OUR OPINION Directing 2 percent dollars to chamber is a prudent choice The City of Oak Harbor has a new way of handling the annual awards of hotel-motel tax money intended to promote tourism.

It lends a bit of intrigue to the process following last year’s kerfuffle over the $80,000 in lodging tax funds given to the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce.

Last year, the City Council and Mayor Scott Dudley differed on where to direct the money.

Dudley wanted to put the money toward creating more community events to draw visitors to the island.

The council, however, voted to give the money to the chamber.

This year, thanks to changes in state law, a sevenmember Lodging Tax Advisory Committee — appointed by the mayor — will recommend to the City Council where the money should go, and how much.

What’s different this year is that, even though the council still has the final vote, it cannot change the amount recommended by the committee and cannot award money the committee hasn’t approved.

Items can be removed from the list.

The Tax Committee is composed of three people who represent lodging facilities, three people who represent groups that would receive the money and one member of the City Council.

The committee is expected to make its recommendations in November or December.

Dudley told a Whidbey News-Times reporter that the chamber “automatically” got the funds in the past, but the new structure is changing that.

One thing hasn’t changed in the past year — the chamber is a vital resource that draws tourists to the community every year. Directing the lodging tax proceeds to the chamber makes perfect sense, and we hope that the new Lodging Tax Advisory Committee agrees.

The first place potential visitors turn to for information about the island and what it has to offer is the chamber of commerce.

Oak Harbor’s chamber is an especially active one, and its staff is adept at promoting the many great things this community has to offer.

Continuing to support the chamber with these 2 percent dollars is a smart move all around and a wise use of tax dollars.

It really is a no-brainer any way you look at.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Election

Vaughan shows he’s not really Republican Editor, “Island County Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan, chosen from among five Republican applicants to fill the District No. 3 vacancy left by Kelly Emerson’s resignation, is breaking party lines by endorsing Democratic candidate Karla Jacks.”

I would like to officially welcome Mr. Vaughan to the ranks of RINOs …

Republicans in name only.

Mr. Vaughan, in your campaign literature, you wrote, “I choose to be a (sic) Republican Party because it best aligns with my values of individual freedom, decisions that are in line with the Constitution, limited government and fiscally sound decision making.”

Do the positions taken by Karla Jacks and her liberal backers, including Mary Margaret Haugen and COER, align with your views, Aubrey? If they do, then you were either lying to the Island County Republican Party when you were considered for nomination to the office you currently hold, or you

are lying to the voters of Island County now.

Which is it?

You were appointed as a Republican county commissioner, Mr. Vaughan.

Your actions in endorsing the Democratic candidate for that office over a fully qualified Republican, and not even having the minimal courtesy to notify Rick Hannold, Island County Republican Party Chairman Tim Geist or your fellow Republican commissioner Jill Johnson, quite frankly should serve to disqualify you from your current office.

I believe you should, in all good conscience, resign your seat on the Board of Commissioners of Island County and allow the county GOP to appoint what they thought they were appointing over the summer — a Republican county commissioner.

Or is there something more here than actually meets the eye? Is there a deal here to assure that Mr. Vaughan is appointed as the new head of Island County Transit with the support of the new Democratic majority on the board of commissioners?

Certainly Commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Karla Jacks would be grateful for their new majority and would want to award Mr. Vaughan

accordingly.

I don’t know if there is a deal, and I’m not saying there is one. Still, it is an interesting question, isn’t it?

A representative is elected to represent Editor, Regarding the Whidbey News-Times article titled, “Candidates take differing views on transit, marijuana,” I hate to remind a retired Navy CPO Rick Hannold he’s seeking election to a “representative” position.

Chief, on Nov. 6, 2012, the majority of your potential constituents voted “yes” for legalization of marijuana; using North Whidbey and Camano precinct voting data, 16,984 voted, 8,938 yes (52.6 percent), 8,046 no (47.4 percent).

hol use in the county as well? Those are also two drugs that are also widely cited as “gateway” drugs.

For the record, there’s a growing body of data which shows that tobacco and alcohol use are the gateways to marijuana use.

Ben Honeycutt Oak Harbor

What about all of those other ‘vices’?

Editor, I read where Mr. Rick Hannold doesn’t “like any industry that makes its money off the vices of others” and would have voted “no” on the sale of recreational marijuana in Island County.

I wonder if he would vote to abolish the sales of alcohol, tobacco and lottery tickets here as well.

Lee Roof Coupeville

Commissioners

Marijuana, Navy noise are not county issues Editor, Watching the District No. 3 commissioners race from afar, I was baffled by the recent article on the candidates that addressed only one issue pertinent to them and two that weren’t.

The pertinent issue was Island Transit, but the article went on to address their stance on legal marijuana and the Navy base/Outlying Field. These two issues are totally out of their realm.

As far as legalized pot goes, this was the result of a statewide voter mandate. There is nothing the commission can do individually or collectively to change that, so why is this even being addressed?

Likewise, the status of Whidbey

Island Naval Air Station and OLF Coupeville is in the hands of the U.S. Defense Department. The county commission has no control or jurisdiction over it. Some letters, including one from a losing Republican candidate, and blogs are suggesting the commission has a say-so over its fate.

This is ridiculous and naive.

Those concerned with the status of the base should direct their concerns to the District 2 Congressional candidates since Navy base decisions are made in the other Washington, not Coupeville.

We know where these candidates stand on Island Transit, but where do they stand on taxation? On public safety? On budget priorities? On land use and planning? On water/sewer districts? On the fairgrounds?

The voters should be informed of their stand on matters that pertain to the commission and not on matters that don’t.

The two candidates and this publication can help keep this race in its right perspective by addressing only those issues that concern the office they seek.

others and will continue to make a difference in this region. She has led the Camano Center to great successes, raised three admirable young men and worked tirelessly to help support schools by volunteering her time, energy and resources.

Jacks will work to find solutions to support Island Transit and the needs of seniors and disabled. Anyone that knows Jacks will be the first to tell you she never quits working.

She will help maintain access to clean water and beaches. She will have an open door policy to your ideas and opinions. She will support NAS Whidbey and work with other elected officials and the base leadership to find common ground to bring sides together.

Elect Karla Jacks for the leadership skills, integrity and love for this community she already has. Vote Karla Jacks for Island County commissioner. I am a believer.

Editor’s note: The county and county commissioners make decisions regarding zoning for marijuana businesses and on issuing necessary permits. Commissioners are also sometimes tasked with making decisions on property surrounding Ault Field and OLF Coupeville.

Editor, There are at least two problems that occurred in the office of Island County treasurer that adversely affected island taxpayers.

One was an error on the 2014 Stanwood-Camano School District levy that resulted in more than 12,000 explanatory letters being sent at county expense to explain that the school levy did not really double, although the original statement indicated that it did.

Much extra time was spent fixing this error, which resulted in other duties being delayed or forgotten.

A second error was the treasurer’s investment strategy that resulted in a loss of more than $1 million in 2013. The treasurer relied too much

QUESTION

OF THE WEEK:

Jordan Sneva Stanwood

Treasurer

Grone wouldn’t make mistakes Nuñez made

on the advice of investment brokers whose sole interest is in selling their product.

To address these problems, the treasurer said, if re-elected, she plans to restructure her office and place a manager over collections and a manager over investments to increase oversight.

It is a little late to add these positions.

Public officials are elected to solve problems and make government efficient, not create new problems.

Wanda Grone has the experience and knowledge to ensure that the taxpayers of Island County will not lose investment capital or have to pay for rectifying mistakes.

Bill Carruthers Clinton

Island Transit

Extending an invite to Auditor’s exit meeting Editor, The state Auditor’s Office announced that there will be an exit meeting 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 24 to discuss the findings of their recent audit of Island Transit.

State law requires that three of the five commissioners attend this meeting in order to qualify as a public meeting.

If it isn’t too much trouble, may I ask that all Island Transit commissioners attend this meting? In particular, I would like to see Helen Price Johnson, Bob Clay and Jim Sundberg there.

If Jim Campbell can’t attend, could Scott Dudley attend as his alternate?

Sundberg, Campbell, Clay and Price Johnson may want to learn about the results of this audit as they were on the board during the year in question.

Thank you.

Janice Hudson Nielsen

Janice Hudson Nielsen, 67, died at home Oct. 5, 2014, with family members close by. She had battled cancer for two years and was receiving home hospice care.

Janice was born Dec. 24, 1946, in San Diego, the eldest daughter of Harriette (nee Swalm) and James Hudson and grew up in nearby Imperial Beach. Beginning at age 11, Janice shouldered major responsibilities (cooking, shopping and caring for her three younger siblings) while both of her parents worked full time. Janice obtained her bachelor’s degree in sociology from San Diego State University in 1968, where she later obtained her teaching credentials.

Janice married Bob Nielsen in 1968 and raised two daughters with her former husband while he was in the US Navy and later worked for a defense contractor. They lived in California, New Jersey, Spain, Texas and Oklahoma before moving to Oak Harbor, Wash.

Janice taught third and fourth grades in an open classroom setting at Crescent Harbor Elementary School from about 1989 until her retirement in June 2012.

She deeply appreciated and enjoyed the friendship and support of her fellow teachers, both professionally and during her final illness. Janice had served continuously as an officer in the Whidbey Highlands Homeowners Association for many years and will be sorely missed by her neighbors.

Janice is survived by her daughters, Stephanie and Kristin Nielsen of Olympia; her grandson, Connor; and her partner of 12 years, Col. John MacNamee, USMC (Ret). Also surviving are sisters, Linda Hudson (Jon Spangler) and Lorna (Robin) Trout; her brother, Jim Hudson; niece, Jaime Trout; nephew, Adam Trout; and many beloved neighbors, friends and school colleagues.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network C/O

National Headquarters, 1500 Rosecrans Ave., Ste. 200, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266.

A memorial service for Janice is pending. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home.

Marcus John T. Robinson

On Sept. 17, 2014, Marcus John T. Robinson passed away suddenly in Phoenix.

He is survived by his son, Marcus John T. Robinson Jr. (MJ); his parents, Jerene Robinson and Richard Robinson; his sister, Vonda Kenner; his paternal grandmother, Louise Grady; and many uncles, aunts and cousins.

As a boy, Marcus seemed to be good at everything: baseball, wrestling, biking, skate boarding. He had a three-wheeler at age 10 that he practically flew on. He knew no fear. Life was for living, and he was in it to ride it.

At 19, Marcus made the move from Oak Harbor, Wash., to Phoenix and there found his calling: sales. And it was with this career choice he would meet some of his best friends and make a “family” in Arizona. He traveled all over the United States, selling. Marcus never met a stranger.

In 2004, he welcomed a son, who would become his life. He loved being a dad and spent many days in the pool with MJ. Marcus was truly a gift to this world. To know Marcus was to know sunshine on a cloudy day. His love of life was solid and true and quite contagious. We are heartbroken at his passing and take comfort in the fact that we will see him again.

Two memorials will be held, one in Phoenix and one in Oak Harbor. The Phoenix memorial was held Sunday, Sept. 28, and the Oak Harbor memorial will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18 at the Assembly of God.

’Cats among bunch battling for Wesco VB lead 6 teams within one-half game of first place

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Edmonds-Woodway won a 3-2 thriller over the visiting Oak Harbor High School volleyball team Thursday, Oct. 9, to move into first place and drop the Wildcats from first to fourth.

Oak Harbor set up the league-leading match with Edmonds-Woodway by defeating Stanwood 3-0 at home Tuesday, Oct. 7.

Two weeks ago, Oak Harbor coach Kerri Molitor said that the league was so balanced that no team would dominate and many would take turns beating each other.

That scenario is playing out. Midway through the conference season, no team is undefeated and six teams are within a half game of the league lead. EdmondsWoodway, Arlington and Shorewood share first place with 5-1 records; three teams, including Oak Harbor, are a half game back at 5-2.

The Wildcats won the first game 25-21 at EdmondsWoodway, then the Warriors took the next two, 25-19, 25-15.

Oak Harbor held on and forced a fifth set by winning the fourth 30-28.

E d m o n d s - Wo o d w a y cruised in the deciding game

15-4.

“We made more unforced errors,” Molitor said. “E-W was tough on defense.”

Claire Anderson recorded 21 kills, 15 digs and five aces for the Wildcats.

Hailee Blau added eight kills and four blocks; Natalie McVey had 26 assists and Hailey Beecher 18; Amelia Berner finished with seven kills and three blocks; and Priya Osborne and AnnaBelle Whitefoot each had 15 digs.

Oak Harbor stopped Stanwood 25-14, 25-23, 25-19.

Though the Spartans entered the match with a 1-4 (3-4) mark, Molitor was worried: “Their record doesn’t reflect who they are; they are better than that. We always seem to lose to Stanwood.”

The Wildcats weathered every Spartan run to take all three games.

In game one, Oak Harbor went up 10-4. Stanwood hung around, trailing 17-13, before the Wildcats finished on an 8-1 run. Aces by Anderson and Aubrey Lock and a block

by Blau spurred the final push.

The Wildcats came back twice to take the second set.

The Spartans went up 16-12, Oak Harbor rallied to take a 19-18 lead, then Stanwood recovered to go ahead 23-20.

Another Blau block and two Anderson kills led Oak Harbor’s 5-0 run to complete the comeback.

The third game was tied at 8, then Oak Harbor built a small lead, helped by

four kills and an ace from Anderson, and held it until the finish.

A kill by Whitefoot and an ace from Beecher provided the final two points.

Anderson stuffed the stat sheet with 21 kills, 17 digs and two aces; while Beecher had 20 assists, seven digs and two aces.

McVey added 15 assists and eight digs; Berner had five kills and two blocks; Blau finished with 4.5 blocks; and Whitefoot had 18 digs.

“I thought we played pretty well,” Molitor said.

At moments, she said, her team lost focus and let what happened on previous points affect their play: “We didn’t play in the present.”

She noted that this match was the first time she didn’t play her entire 13-girl varsity roster: “We found a group that was working and stuck with it.”

“I think each individual is starting to pick up her play and feeling more confident,” she added.

EIS CONTINUED FROM A1 “While it is unclear whether more Growlers will ultimately be procured, the Navy is electing to analyze the potential for these aircraft in order to be proactive and transparent,” according to a Navy Fleet Forces Command press release.

Ted Brown, the Navy’s Installations and Environmental public affairs officer, said that the Navy is

simply ensuring that the environmental impact of the additional Growlers, if approved, is considered.

“No decisions have been made, but that is one of the alternatives,” Brown said.

“Much of this depends on how many, if any, are funded

by Congress.

“But it makes sense for us to analyze the impacts of those options.”

During a recent interview with the Whidbey NewsTimes, Congressman Rick Larsen said that, while the Navy will likely be approved

for additional Growlers, “the number is going to be somewhere between zero and 22.”

It was unlikely that all 22 would be approved, Larsen said.

The original scoping examined the impact of two additional expeditionary Growler squadrons and three additional aircraft to the training squadron at NAS Whidbey.

In addition to the new squadron alternatives, the Navy also included a section in the presentation documents on the Navy’s requirement to consider its effect

The Navy is revising its ongoing Environmental Impact Statement to include up to 36 more EA-18G Growlers, a move that will delay its completion until Spring 2017. on historic properties under Section 106.

OLF Coupeville, where much of the Growler pilot touch-and-go training take place, lies within the borders of Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve.

A state agency determined earlier this year that more than 1,000 cement blocks placed around OLF had no adverse effect, but then reversed its decision following public outcry.

Since that time, the Navy has worked closely with the state’s historic preservation officer to mitigate concerns within the reserve.

Kendall Campbell, archae-

ologist and cultural resources program manager for NAS Whidbey Island, said that a Section 106 requirement has always been part of this EIS under cultural considerations of the study.

Campbell said, however, that community concerns about the cement blocks at OLF, along with other public feedback, compelled the Navy to highlight this part of the process for the public.

Paula Spina, an active member of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, said with the expansion of the EIS, the Navy is “completely ignoring the needs of the citizens.

“It’s depressing to see

what they’re trying to ram through,” Spina said Friday.

COER sued the Navy earlier this year, demanding that an EIS be completed.

“One of the things that is the most disturbing things to us is, again, the absolute disregard of the Navy for the enormity of the impact and their disregard of Camano, Port Townsend, the San Juans,” said the group’s president Michael Monson.

“They really should be having scoping meetings there, as well.”

Brian Boyle, left, talks with Oak Harbor Fire Department members during a preliminary inspection of the Frightville haunted house at the Roller Barn Wednesday. Boyle, a carpenter by trade, has been working with others since the spring to set up 20 rooms in the basement of the century-old barn, creating features that startle and disgust, such as a parlor for tattoo removal.

BUILDING FEAR

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

As lead carpenter for a construction company, Brian Boyle rarely tosses anything into the scrap heap without careful consideration.

Junk from job sites turn into gems at a haunted house he constructs each October.

Boyle pulled up to the Roller Barn Wednesday with a pickuptruck bed full of discarded doors — ­ the sort of sturdy material he can use to build walls next year.

“We’re really good at scrounging and repurposing,” he said.

In his eighth year as serving as the lead organizer for Frightville, Boyle’s mind is constantly at work, thinking of ways to create new features for his house of horrors.

Frightville 14, which opens Oct. 17 at the Roller Barn in Oak Harbor, has been on his mind since last Thanksgiving.

“I like scaring,” Boyle said.

“There’s nothing better. If a person in a group gets scared to death, we all laugh and enjoy it. They like to get scared because of the rush,

Oak Harbor carpenter assembles house of horrors with help from growing cast of scream makers

Frightville 14 Frightville 14 will take place Oct. 17, 18, 24, 25, 30 and 31 at the Roller Barn in Oak Harbor.

Regular tours will start at 7 p.m. each night. Cost is $10.

The final hour, called the Witching Hour, is for the more hardcore scare seeker with no lights except for a small provided flashlight. It starts at 11 p.m. most nights and costs $15.

Prior to doors opening Oct. 17, Bellingham radio station KISM 92.9 will be at the Roller Barn from 3:30-6 p.m. to help promote the event.

Primary sponsors of Frightville 14 are Toppins Frozen Yogurt and Oak Harbor-based Spatz Construction of Washington.

and we like to scare them. It’s like a symbiotic relationship.”

Boyle’s way of thinking runs in the family from his wife, Johanna, to their sons, Tristan, 15, and Tyler, 12.

The Boyle and Sellers families have scaring in their blood. Front row, from left to right: Johanna Boyle, Gwyneth Sellers, Tristan Boyle. Back row: Timothy Sellers, Philip Sellers, Tyler Boyle, Duncan Chalfant and Brian Boyle.

For the first time, the entire Boyle family will be a part of the act at Frightville.

They’ll be among the 30 actors who will pop out of darkness for six nights inside the 20 rooms assembled inside the basement of a century-old barn that was once part of a dairy farm.

At the urging of his parents,

Tristan finally relented and joined the cast.

“I wasn’t really ready yet,” Tristan said of past years. “They sort of talked me into it.”

This month, the Boyles are reunited with the second family of Frightville, the Sellers.

Philip Sellers also served as a mastermind with Boyle at

Frightville until he got orders from the Navy to be stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2012.

The Sellers returned to Oak Harbor this year just in time for Philip and his wife, Ashley, to take part in their fifth Frightville. This time, all three of their children -SEE FRIGHTVILLE, A12

house put on there annually by the high school senior class in an old wine cellar on base. It didn’t take long for her dad to get out the power tools and elevate the haunted house to another level.

They called it Fright Villa.

“There were residents who’ve been there 20 years who said they’d never seen anything like that,” Philip Sellers said.

“That’s a compliment around here,” Johanna Boyle added.

Frightville raised $15,000 last year for the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Harbor, which operates out of the Roller Barn.

Duncan Chalfant, a board member with a construction background, started the haunted house in 2000 and

remains active in its planning and execution.

This year, the haunted house’s theme is a “dark circus with a classic freak show from the 1940s and ‘50s,” Johanna Boyle said.

As with any circus, clowns are part of the act, meaning “Mr. Giggles,” played by Brian Boyle, will fit right in.

Tyler Boyle debuts as “Chuckles,” son of Giggles.

The Boyles draw ideas from a collection of hundreds of horror movies they own at home as well as from the West Coast Haunters Convention they attend annually in Portland, Ore., with other Frightville volunteers.

“There’s a little freak in all of us,” Brian Boyle said, emphasizing this year’s

theme.

“It’s a freak show and a carnival. More of a dark carnival.”

Frightville 14 is geared for a PG-13 audience with the exception of two special Saturday afternoon time slots with the lights on and no monsters for young children.

The organizers decided to trim the event to six nights this year because of light attendance in early October dates last year.

They also have decided to let scare seekers go through the haunted house unescorted this year.

2015 OAK HARBOR COMREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS CALL FOR APPLICATIONS The City of Oak Harbor is initiating its annual Comprehensive Amendment Process. The amendment process begins with a call for applications from the public requesting changes to the Plan. The requests are then compiled into a docket that is reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. The City Council approves a final docket in March 2015.

R e q u e s t fo r c h a n g e s can be made to any aspect of the Comprehensive Plan. However, the application requirements differ for private amendments and public amendments. An example of a private amendment is a request to change a land use designation for a property a n d a n ex a m p l e o f a public amendment would be a request to change the density requirements for a par ticular zoning district. For more information on public amendments please contact city staff. Information regarding this can also be found in the Oak Harbor Municipal Code (OHMC) Chapter 18.15.060.

Links to the OHMC can be found on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website homepage www.oakharbor.org Applications are now bei n g a c c e p t e d fo r t h e 2 0 1 5 C o m p r e h e n s i ve Plan Amendments. The application for private amendments (land use changes) is currently available at the City Hall and on the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s webpage under the Development Services tab and Planning Division permit applications page. Land owners can request changes to their propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land use designation as part of the amendment process.

The deadline for applications is Monday, December 1, 2014 5pm.

The process to consider amendments to the Comprehensive Plan is a year long process. All applications received will be placed on a docket with other mandator y and discretionary items.

The docket will then be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Council through a public hearing process b e fo r e a p p r ova l . T h e process is designed to provide opportunities for public par ticipation at var ious stages of the process.

Please contact Cac Kamak, Senior Planner, at (360) 279-4514 if you have questions.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. 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.

CANDIDATE FORUM

Saturday, October 11, 2014 • Whidbey News-Times

CONTINUED FROM A1 “I feel it’s just part of the natural course of things,” said Hannold, a Republican. “You can skew the facts either way depending on who’s paying for the study.”

No matter how you view climate change, Hannold said, the county leaders need to be good caretakers of environmental resources with balanced solutions that aren’t “at the expense of our businesses.”

His Democratic opponent, Karla Jacks, disagreed. She said that climate change is a real threat that needs to be mitigated.

“We are experiencing global warming,” Jacks said. “I think we need to help promote protections of our climate and work on different sources of energy.”

The Wednesday night forum was held by the League of Women Voters of Island County and Sno-Isle Libraries. A second forum is at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge.

While she wouldn’t want to raise taxes, Jacks said she couldn’t say she would never do it, adding she prefers to look first for other revenue sources to offset the costs of county services.

Hannold said he advocates for a lean budget focused on essential services and being “good stewards of the money we are given to spend.”

Asked about potential solutions for the county’s growing population of people with mental illnesses, Hannold said that “we need to have compassion.”

Hannold said he believes that mental health issues start in homes and schools, and the government should “unshackle” parents and teachers from “a lot of liberal rules and regulations.”

Jacks said she understands the

problem first hand and described her mother’s nervous breakdown and resulting hallucinations.

“A lot of families struggle with the system the way it is,” she said.

The county’s top two issues are balancing the budget and providing better, more efficient service to the community through upgrades in Information Technology, Jacks said.

Public safety and boosting the county’s economy are the top two issues, Hannold said.

TREASURER RACE Island County Treasurer candidate Wanda Grone pointed out a $1 million loss experienced by that office last year.

If elected, Grone said, she would diversify the county’s portfolio to prevent losses of this size and ensure that a secondary person reviews the investment decisions.

Incumbent Treasurer Ana Maria Nuñnez, a Democrat, defended her investment practices, saying that “all investments by me follow current policy.”

Grone, a Republican, served as Nuñez’s chief deputy until she filed to run against her and was fired.

Nuñez said it is not easy to invest and that the risk of loss is inherent.

“I try to be a good steward of public money,” Nuñez said.

Grone said she believes the treasurer should network with other treasurers to find best practices and that the county should stay away from more risky extended maturity bonds.

If she wins the election, Grone said the public can expect “action and answers, not excuses and delays.”

Nuñez cautioned voters not to “get sidetracked by rhetoric” and asked for their support for a second

Republican Wanda Grone, left, is challenging her former boss Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nunez, right, for her position in the November general election. for closing tax loopholes in order to come up with funding for the state’s public education mandate. He also supports a measure he calls “clawbacks,” which would force companies to repay tax incentives they received if they break promises to keep jobs within the state but later broke those promises.

Looking at the budget “piece by piece” is going to be the only way the state is going to be able to come up with funding for education, Hayes said.

Hayes said he is not a supporter of a state-wide minimum-wage increase to $15 because it would “create an even worse business environment for Washington state.”

Petrish said he supports a $15 wage but would also support a law

four-year term.

10TH DISTRICT Tenth Legislative Rep. Dave Hayes, a Republican completing his first term in the state House, said he supports Initiative 591, which prevents the state from regulating guns beyond federal requirements.

Initiative 594, which would require background checks on all firearm sales and transfers, is “focused on the wrong people,” Hayes said.

Hayes’ challenger, Democrat Nick Petrish, said that, even though he is “a shooter” and a gun enthusiast himself, he believes I-594 is a “great way to bend into the demands of the public.”

Petrish said he would advocate

that allowing workers at large corporations to unionize and negotiate their own wages.

“I am 100 percent in support of the worker,” Petrish said.

NO-SHOWS There were several no-shows at Thursday’s forum. Neither of the 10th Legislative Position 1 candidates, Republican incumbent Norma Smith and Libertarian challenger Michael Scott, attended.

A brief statement by each candidate was read aloud.

Republican Island County Auditor Sheila Crider was also absent, but her challenger, Independent Rebecca Wagner, was in attendance to make her own statement.

es, organizations, clubs and residents of our unique rural environment,” Vaughan said.

“She will ensure Camano is fairly represented at county meetings, on boards and in the budget process.”

“Her proven leadership and strong ties to Camano are big advantages for District 3.”

The Island County Republican Party endorsed Hannold in a Sept. 29 news release, stating that the residency of the candidate shouldn’t matter.

“We soundly reject the notion that the District 3 commissioner must come from Camano Island,” the county GOP’s news releases stated.

“It’s certainly not a correct legal argument. All voters select commissioners in the general election, regardless of district.

“All commissioners are therefore accountable to every resident of Island County.”

Republican Par ty Chairman Tim Geist said that Vaughan is certainly entitled to endorse whomever he

choses. But the party still believes Hannold is the best choice.

“We like what other voters have also found to be absolutely true about Rick Hannold: He’s a polite, plainspoken man with a lot of common sense.

“He doesn’t need cue cards to express his views, and he doesn’t tap dance nor attempt to distract,” the county GOP’s release said.

A primary concern for some Camano Island residents was that they didn’t think they were being properly represented by Emerson, a Camano Island resident.

“It’s been years since our commissioners have worked together for all the people of Island County,” said Jacks in the joint statement.

“Aubrey has also demonstrated a willingness to work with any Island County resident who reaches out to him.”

“I admire Commissioner Vaughan, and I am proud to have his support,” Jacks said.
