Sunny View blamed for property flooding ‘I’m all for growth, but not this.’ — Warren Wicher
By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Island County Housing Authority’s new pride and joy in Freeland is once again raising the ire of neighbors. Following heavy rains last week, Sunny View Village, a $6.3 million affordable housing project still under construction, was blamed for shuttling stormwater onto an adjacent property. Warren and Minda Wicher allege the problem is the result of an issue with the development’s catchment system and retention pond, as water pouring from an outfall is collecting on the northeast corner of their six-acre lot. Sunny View and their property are located between Scenic Avenue and Highway 525. The couple say they voiced concerns about the potential problem early on in the development’s planning stages and are not pleased with the emerging problem. “I predicted this,” said Warren Wicher, motioning to the flooded area of his property. “I’m all for growth, but not this,” he added. Teri Anania, executive director for the Housing Authority, could not be reached for this story by press time. According to a construction supervisor who was inspecting the area this week, the catchment system is working properly, but the problem lies with missing infrastructure along the state highway. “The water was designed to flow

a new problem, according to Quin Clements, vice president of Freelandbased Davido Consulting Group, the engineering firm that designed the development.
The sixth time was the charm for the South Whidbey Fire/EMS 2015 budget. Commissioners approved next year’s revenue and expense plans for operations and capital through next year at a meeting Thursday night. Other than district staff and a prospective volunteer, no one showed up to the district’s public hearing on the budget. After several rounds and iterations, the sixth revision for $2.5 million in operational expenses and $1.3 million in capital projects, South Whidbey’s spending was set. Staffing remained a concern for the commissioners at the public meeting

While the Wicher’s claim the flooding is a new problem, Hays said he couldn’t verify whether that’s indeed the case. If true, however, he said a fix will be required. New
developments are not allowed to dump stormwater onto neighboring properties. A solution may require the state’s involvement, and could take months to address, he said. The crux of the issue and determining any future action will likely hinge on whether or not this is really
County considers new air park road By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

Hoping to bolster and improve access to Whidbey Air Park, Island County is looking at building one of its first new roads in decades on the South End. Talked about for years, the project is funding dependent, but the effort took a step forward this week with an open house at Deer Lagoon Grange. There, county officials unveiled seven possibilities to the public that ranged from entirely new roads to rebuilding existing accesses to meet current
standards. The air park is a privately owned public-use airport located on Crawford Road, which is largely unpaved with accesses off Highway 525 to the south and Brooks Hill Road to the north. The road is in poor condition and both the Port of South Whidbey and the Island County Economic Development Council made requests last year for improved access to the facility, according to Connie Bowers, assistant county engineer for Island County Public Works. “That’s primarily because the area
around the air park is the only light industrial zone on South Whidbey,” Bowers said. The project was included in the county’s six-year transportation plan and otak, an international consulting firm with offices in Redmond and Kirkland, was hired this summer to perform a $39,000 study to identify possible routes. Wednesday’s open house was scheduled to vet those options to the public and get community feedback before the study wraps SEE ROAD, A11

Prosecutor Banks scolded by county commissioners By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks was roundly scolded Wednesday by commissioners for requesting additional money after the budget was adopted last month. The clash highlights the complex and sometimes frustrating relationships between the county’s elected officials. Commissioners ultimately approved Banks’ request for an additional $4,000 in wages for a deputy prosecutor in a 2-1 vote, but not before making their displeasure clear. “I would have preferred to have this brought to our attention during the budget conversation,” said Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. “We should have anticipated this in the budget as a given. It’s frustrating but is what it is. I’m gonna move forward with it, but I don’t want it to happen again. I don’t know how to better communicate the need to anticipate those costs that are driven by contract.” Commissioner Jill Johnson, who was the dissenting vote,
Janis Reid / The Record
Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks listens to the county commissioners discuss a budget change request. said after “scraping” together the 2015 budget and choosing to not fund some key positions, she was not in favor of approving a request that could have been planned for. “We haven’t even had this budget adopted for a month
and now we’re getting a request for a budget amendment,” Johnson said. “I’m saying no, just so you know. I’m sorry for him, but this would have been a much easier conversation if it had been built into the budget, but it wasn’t.
Vaughan said. Earlier this year, Sheriff Mark Brown opposed a county attempt to move sheriff’s deputy files into the county’s human resources office. Banks assisted Brown in arguing that as independently elected leaders, they have the right to maintain and house their own personnel records. Price Johnson raised that issue with Banks Wednesday, saying that if they are going to house their own personnel files, they should maintain them appropriately. “You have asked repeatedly of us that you are the steward of these employees. You’ve advocated that personnel records should stay with elected officials, and yet, I’m at a loss as well,” Price Johnson said. “That should be something that all departments should be reviewing on a regular basis.” In a Friday telephone interview Price Johnson said overall the elected officials work well together and that relationships have improved since she took office five years ago. “When I was first elected not many elected officials
And we were really clear and communicative about what our expectations were.” “Thank you for the scolding,” Banks said. “I obviously dropped the ball.” While the county commissioners oversee a large part of the county’s services and staffing, elected officials such as the prosecutor, the sheriff, the auditor, the assessor and others are independently elected department heads who do not answer to the board. Still, commissioners control the budget and the elected officials are forced to go before the board, sometimes hat in hand, for monetary requests. Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan, who approved the request along with Price Johnson, said he agreed with the other board members but didn’t want Banks’ error to impact the employee. “I’m not going to penalize a worthy and deserving employee because it’s a little bit of trouble for us and Greg didn’t give us a good idea about what was coming up,”
attended the roundtables,” said Price Johnson, adding that attendance has markedly increased. Still, as the county’s fiduciary body, board decisions can cause tensions over money. “It must be frustrating to have the autonomy but not the budget authority,” Price Johnson said. Price Johnson pointed out that the state-designed leadership paradigm makes elected officials answerable to the voter, not the board of commissioners, allowing each to advocate freely for their departments. Earlier this year, Treasurer Ana Maria Nuñez, who was unseated this month by former chief deputy treasurer Wanda Grone, was also reprimanded by the board. Camano Island’s 2014 tax statements had gone out incorrectly, causing the county to be bombarded with concerned phone calls and emails. The error led to the issuance of $12,000 clarification letters, costing the treasurer’s office an additional $4,500 in postage alone.

LANGLEY Budget hearing, priorities up for city The Langley City Council will hold a hearing on its 2015 budget and discuss the city’s legislative priorities Monday. The city’s budget for next year will have a final chance for public input at the 5:30 p.m. Nov. 17 meeting. Langley’s legislative
priorities will also be discussed. Some of the city’s top issues to the state include transportation funding, getting money for the Public Works Trust Fund, limiting local government liability and financial burden caused by unreasonable public records requests, limit supporting state mandates without adequate funding, restore lost revenue from liquor sales privatization, share marijuana revenue fairly with local governments charged with law

for a job on the East Coast. Commissioner Ed Halloran was appointed as his replacement. While no dates have been set, after the meeting this week port staff said the board would likely follow the same process: ask for resumes, publicly interview the candidates and then appoint a new commissioner.
PORT Gregoire steps down, to move The Port of South Whidbey will be on the hunt for a new board member next month. District 1 Commissioner Dennis Gregoire announced at the port’s regular meeting Wednesday that effective Dec. 20, he will step down from his position on the board. He is moving to Everett. “I’m going to miss working on the commission and with the staff,” Gregoire said. He is in the middle of his first six-year term, being elected in late 2011

and taking office in 2012. His term expires in 2017. Gregoire said he is resigning to live in the last house his father built, which is located in South Everett. A family member has resided in the home, but is moving to a smaller place. Along with being a port commissioner, living in this house was a longheld dream, he said. Commissioner Curt Gordon said Gregoire’s knowledge and experience as a retired planner has been extraordinarily useful to the district. “Thanks for that,” Gordon said. Gregoire is the second commissioner to resign this year. Chris Jerome stepped down in January
Price Johnson voted as board leader Commissioner Helen Price Johnson was unanimously selected Monday to serve as chairwoman of the Island County commissioners during 2015. The move was intended to restore an annual rotation to the board leadership, according to Commissioner Jill Johnson, who made the nomination. The traditional succession has been bucked in recent years due to partisan politics and infighting. “I have been the board chair for a year and a half and I think that’s been sufficient time chairing, and I think going back to the rotation is healthy for the county,” Johnson said.

The nomination was seconded by Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan and Price Johnson accepted the appointment. Former commissioner Kelly Emerson, a Republican, was passed over for her turn at chairwoman in 2011 when Price Johnson and former commissioner Angie Homola, both Democrats, appointed Price Johnson. Emerson nominated herself as chairwoman at the end of 2012 and again at the beginning of 2013. She was named chairwoman in March 2013, but was stripped of the title after defying board consensus. Johnson has served as chairwoman since that time. Emerson quit suddenly in May of this year, seven months short of her complete term. A Camano Island resident, Emerson also has a residence in Kitsap County where she ran for auditor in this year’s election. She lost to her Democratic opponent by a mere 5 percent margin. Price Johnson pointed out that, according to county code, the board chooses the next year’s chairperson the first regular board meeting after the general election, but has the option to defer until the new commissioner takes office. Though the election results have not been certified, the apparent winner for District 3 commissioner is Republican Rick Hannold. Johnson said she wouldn’t change her vote in the new year and that re-establishing the rotation was a priority for her. Price Johnson will assume her chairwoman duties Jan. 1.

Dog House owners, city again seek land swap By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The future of the Dog House Tavern may rest on the exchange of less than 700 square feet of land. Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy said the city is working to determine the value of public property adjacent to the Dog House Tavern ahead of the Monday, Nov. 17, public hearing on the street vacation, the technical name for the abandonment of a public right of way. “Hopefully what we would be bringing forward is an obvious mutual benefit for the city and the Kleiners,” said McCarthy, of owners Charlie and Janice Kleiner, the Issaquah couple who purchased the property at auction years ago. “I think it’s a very important issue to the Kleiners,” he added. “I think it’s just a matter of working out the details.” Two pieces of land are being requested by the Dog House owners. One is about 540 square feet and is mostly under the existing stairs and porch. The other piece would make the property line straight, but which Charlie Kleiner said was not necessary to move forward with renovation or construction. Dollar values for both were not known by the Kleiners or the city as of press time.
Partial Anthes Avenue loss Langley is considering vacating part of Anthes Avenue as part of a deal with property owners who own the Dog House Tavern building. The public hearing on the issue is at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 17 at Langley City Hall. While Kleiner said he would not necessarily tear down the building if the street vacation didn’t go through, he noted that the city has made it clear it wants to preserve at least the facade if the Dog House can’t be restored. “If we save the building the way it is, we have to have the land,” Kleiner said in a phone interview Wednesday. Some of the property west of the building that goes down the hill, technically a continuation of Anthes Avenue, is being considered to be given up by the city. In exchange, Langley would get land to add to Seawall Park on the north end of the Dog House property - the back of the building - from the Kleiners. In all, the couple would own about 630 square feet to the side of the Dog House that has the exterior stairs and porch.
To support the structure, Kleiner said he was advised by an architect to put an exterior shear wall, which would help bring it up to current seismic building standards, in the location that is currently on city property. “It’s not like we want to own it,” Kleiner said. “We’re compelled to own it.” Progress on the Dog House, Langley’s only structure on the National Register of Historic Places, has been halted at various points. The Kleiners floated ideas to restore the building under a previous city administration, but their proposal was later rebuffed. Langley’s recentlydeparted planning director, Jeff Arango, said the building designs were insufficient for him to make a decision, and more importantly, the city is not allowed to give away public land without receiving something of equal value, either money or property. The street vacation is similar to one proposed last year that the Kleiners abandoned. Charlie Kleiner said he had good reason. The city wanted equal or greater value in a

Earlier this year, the Kleiners emailed the city about the demolition process. As a response, the Langley City Council passed an emergency ordinance halting the demolition of historic buildings in the downtown area. After six months, the council approved rules and regulations about the maintenance of historic buildings and the qualifications to tear one down.

Editorial Roll us into the future, commissioners, with golf cart regulations If the future is powered without fossil fuels, then the days of tomorrow may begin on Whidbey Island as soon as this month. At least in rural areas. Following the example of Langley and Coupeville, the Island County commissioners are poised to vote on rules in November that would provide the framework for small communities to set up golf cart zones in their areas. A majority of the board has voiced support for the ordinance, making its passage seem likely, but it would be great if all three commissioners voted for the measure. A unanimous decision would speak volumes about the county’s bipartisan commitment to environmental sustainability and, perhaps more importantly, demonstrate a common belief that the choice of living a greener life is better left with the public and not government. The board will hold a public hearing on the proposal at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, in the Commissioners Hearing Room, 1 N.E. Sixth St. in Coupeville. It should be noted that while Island County’s decision will come years after that of Coupeville and Langley. It was an effort to establish golf cart rules in rural county areas that paved the way for such forward thinking. Beverly Beach residents on South Whidbey have lobbied local and state decision makers for years to get this done, and their long endeavors resulted in the passage of key legislation in Olympia that gave counties and cities the flexibility to allow the use of golf carts on public roads. The tiny neighborhood was working to help a single resident, but their labors have paid off for people across the state as a handful of municipalities have taken advantage of the legislation. It also gave Washington membership to a greater community of areas across the country that are making use of golf carts. Perhaps the best known is Peachtree City, Ga. A pioneer in the urban application of golf carts, the city of about 35,000 has allowed them since the 1970s and now boasts more than 90 miles of cart path and over 10,000 registered users. Grocery shopping, going to work, taking the kids to school — residents use them for just about everything. They are so widely utilized that the town’s high school has had to create special parking lots to accommodate a legion of student users. Such wide-spread application isn’t without problems, in particular city police have struggled with people driving them while intoxicated. According to 2013 WSB-TV Atlanta news story, they accounted for nearly 15 percent SEE EDITORIAL, A7

People who didn’t vote can’t complain when things don’t go their way Editor, This election has been just plain disgusting. Not because of who won or lost, but because of what did not happen. Two-thirds of the people in this country who are eligible to vote did not vote. This is disgusting. What on earth is the matter with people in this country? In many ways we are looked upon by others on this planet as what should be a model of freedom and democratic rights. Well, theoretically anyway. Do you really need to be reminded how many have
sacrificed so much so that you have the privilege to vote? Do you really need to be reminded how many people in so many parts of this world would die for that privilege? Would a lecture do you any good? Sadly I don’t think so. But, let me tell you this: If you didn’t vote, you are disgusting. You let your self-absorption, your complacency, your slovenly laziness excuse you from participating in a process that should be an integral part of helping determine what happens to your future. So, unless you are on your deathbed or you have some extreme problem that keeps you from voting, then I say, “Shame on you.” You are pathetic and should be ashamed of yourself. Three-fourths of the 30 percent of the eligible voters who did vote were over the age of 40.

the faith and support you have bestowed upon me as I served as your Island County treasurer. Though I was not successful in my bid to continue to serve you, I have no regrets. I am very proud of the accomplishments made during my tenure. From eliminating the backlog in supplement processing (adjustments to property taxes due) to decreasing banking costs over 70 percent, I have been driven to improve the services to you, the citizens of Island County. This has always been my goal. I have already laid the groundwork for the next year: fully establishing electronic Real Estate Excise Tax (or eREET) transactions, setting up a software terminal at the Camano Annex so residents can pay property taxes in “real time,” having a deputy from my office assist the residents of Camano Island with any questions/concerns they may have during routine monthly visits, to name a few. I can only hope that the incoming treasurer continues these steps. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you in all capacities since I first came onboard this office in 2005. Wherever the good Lord sees fit to send me, I will always remember the trust you bestowed upon me. May God bless you always. Respectfully, ANA MARÍA D NUÑEZ Island County treasurer

While all adoptions are significant, the particular focus for this month is the adoption of children from foster care. Communities across the nation are gathering to celebrate the hope and the happiness that lies ahead for children and their forever families. The same is true in Island County. On Nov. 21, Island County children and their adoptive parents and families will gather with child advocates, family court judges, social workers and adoption professionals to celebrate the promise of life renewed. The choice to adopt a child is a response to one of life’s highest callings. To Island County parents who are answering that calling, your fellow community members stand tall in your honor.

THE
of the town’s DUIs in 2012. Incidentally, the news station sourced a Lt. Mark Brown of the Peachtree Police Department for the story. Whidbey police, including Island County Sheriff Mark Brown (no relation), have voiced similar concerns, but it hasn’t been a problem yet due to little use by the public. Between Langley and Coupeville, just three users are licensed. The sheriff was wise, however, to lobby for county regulations that require lights on all golf carts that will roll down public roads. While the same standard is not applied to bicycles, which are much more prevalent, taking appropriate precautions for a new kind of vehicle that motorists won’t be used to seeing is both reasonable and prudent. It’s taken years for this proposal to reach the commissioners, but the wait will be worth it if Island County joins the ranks of communities across the country that are taking proactive steps to endorse a greener future. Golf carts won’t save the world, but by endorsing their use on a public scale commissioners certainly won’t be hurting it either.

a gun safe for Christmas. I waited in the aftermath of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School shooting to write this letter so as to not jump on the emotional bandwagon. Please buy a dad or loved one who needs a gun safe one for Christmas. School students are a very emotional bunch who don’t need access to guns. I think the best things we as dads can do to contribute to lowering school gun violence is to prevent easy access or unintended access to guns. As a believer in our Second Amendment rights, I still see the need or responsibility to lock up our guns when not using them for sport or hunting. I know there are other Second Amendment right advocates who don’t believe a useful gun is one that is locked up, but we live in a different world than the one I grew up in. Even as a concealed weapons permit holder, we need to lock up our guns for the sake of our children and future grandchildren. Please buy someone who needs one a gun safe for Christmas and please use it.

Long-running turkey shoot filled with memories No live birds, but plenty of memories at competition By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Not even Mike McInerney’s long-reaching memory is enough to recall the illustrious history of the annual Holmes Harbor Rod & Gun Club’s open turkey shoot. McInerney, the club’s vice president and organizer of the target shooting competition ahead of Thanksgiving, has been part of the event for 35 years. He’s been the man in charge for the past 16 years of one of Whidbey Island’s oldest traditions, which will have another installment next weekend, Nov. 22. “It’s a long-running event, and one of our most popular,” he said. Or, as club president John Brown said, it’s been around “as long as the club has,” which is in its 80th year. The event can make for good entertainment to spectators, especially when there are a handful of eagleeye shooters competing. As an avid gun sportsman, McInerney has participated in several of the shoots over the past few decades. Some are more memorable than others, such as the time he was in a shoot-off, a tiebreak-

Pete Tulloch, the former Shooter of the Decade at the Holmes Harbor Rod & Gun Club in 2010, shoots trap at the range outside of Langley. The club hosts its annual Open Turkey Shoot on Saturday, Nov. 22, one of the few times the range is open to non-members. er, that put them back several yards behind the original firing line. “We’ve been back to like 35 yards, clear up next to the club house and shooting from there,” McInerney said. There are 60 turkeys up for grabs as prizes for being the top gun in the squad, essentially a heat of five shooters. The competition rotates each shooter through five stations, with two clay targets launched at about 45 mph at
each station. McInerney said the average shot is about 30 yards when the 4-inch discs shatter in mid-air. Turkey shoots, according to Brown and McInerney, have an extensive history in the United States. They’ve heard stories of more literal “turkey shoots” where actual birds are shot, but both men were insistent that has not, and will not, be part of the Holmes Harbor Rod and Gun Club’s plans.
Not everyone who shows up need be a sharpshooter like Smith. McInerney said he sorts shooters into three categories based on proficiency to try to give each a fair shot at claiming a turkey. “You’re shooting against some people of pretty comparable skills,” he said. Sign-ups are only the day of the event, Nov. 22, at the club on Brooks Hill Road. Entry costs $20 and includes four tickets — essentially
four chances to win a turkey, or four turkeys if the person wins each squad. With state ballots currently approving Initiative 594, which limits gun transfers and requires more robust background checks for sales, McInerney said the turkey shoot will be unfazed. The new rules don’t kick in until December, plus the club’s turkey shoot is considered a regular competition, which is exempt from the regulations
around handing someone a weapon. “If it were just a regular shooting day, 594 would make it illegal for you to use my gun, unless we did a background check,” McInerney said. The club recently changed its rules for having firearms on the property. Guns must be in cases, gun socks or boxes between the cars and the trap shack, and can’t be in the clubhouse.

Langley baker nourishes community spirit By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record By 2 a.m., when the majority of South Whidbey residents remain nestled snugly in their beds, Langley baker Kelly Baugh is already hard at work. The Clinton resident and single mother of five said she had always dreamt of a place in which she could fulfill the age-old profession of village baker. “I’m awake, alone, and the rest of the world is just turning over for the first time,” she said with a smile, adding that she finds a great sense of tranquility in baking. At 11 years old, Baugh began her career in the food industry making pizza dough at an Italian restaurant. “I was like a Ryan’s House child,” she said referring to the organization that helps homeless youth on Whidbey. Throughout the years, Baugh enrolled in college five times, earning a degree in early child development and child psychology and, in 2001, received her associate of arts degree in bakery and pastry arts from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts. She worked as a baker and manager for Great Harvest Bread Company and later baked for Lucky Eagle Casino in Rochester, Wash. During a typical day at her establishment, Sundance Bakery, Baugh does everything from threshing the grains to operating the cash register. Her eldest daughter and a handful of other employees assist with various aspects of the business. Baugh moved to Whidbey with her five children, sonin-law and two grandchildren and rented a space on Second Street and DeBruyn Avenue, formerly a cafe, nearly two years ago. Baugh said she had moved from Washington to Chicago in order to help her mother. “I was only there for a couple of months,” she said. “I hated it … there is no community in a city. I lived in an apartment complex with 52 people and I didn’t know a single person’s name.” A sense of community, she said, is something she always yearned for, something she found in Langley. As a single mom, the Village

In order to furnish the bakery’s brick oven, she ran a Credible campaign, raising enough money to build the wood-fired oven — a unique mechanism made largely from recycled materials — which she uses to make hundreds of baked goods per day. With the help of Sharon and Fred Lundahl, she also obtained discounted equipment, such as a large mixer, from a former Camano Island bakery. “This community is really, truly one of a kind,” she said, adding that farm blogger Chris Williams has been a great asset to her in networking endeavors. Sundance Bakery currently collaborates with Whidbey farmers at Ebey Road Farm,

duces six different breads, four varieties of muffins, cinnamon rolls, cookies and pies. Soon, she said, they will be baking eclairs. “They’re dangerous, kind of like Pandora’s box,” she said with a chuckle, adding that eventually, she hopes to hire more employees with experience in pastries in order to expand the menu. The most rewarding aspect, Baugh said, is hearing the exclamations of satisfaction from customers. “When people say, ‘I haven’t had bread this good since my grandma made it,’ that feels pretty good,” she said. Her personal favorite product, the Swedish rye, comes from a 150-year-old recipe. “When you’re dealing with traditional grains, you have to look at old recipes because of the ratio difference in the protein levels,” she said. Chantelle Freilinger, a Kate Daniel / The Record dishwasher who began working at Sundance about two months ago, said this is by far her most enjoyable “We’re more than just a bakery because we grow the and least stressful job. “Kelly is awesome, great grains with the farmers here on the island,” she said. “Any to work for,” said Freilinger, adding that on Sundays, time you buy anything from Baugh allows her to work this place, around you’re actuthe ally helping Seahawks local farm“Imagine every dream football ers.” Recently, you’ve ever had coming schedule. “I don’t she also true.” work on began workKelly Baugh, Seahawks ing with the Sundance Bakery owner days,” she Salish Sea said with a Trading laugh.

ROAD CONTINUED FROM A1
up in December and a final route is recommended to decision makers. The event saw healthy attendance with about 50 participants. Opinions on the best choice, and the project in general, varied considerably. Several people expressed disinterest in further development of the area. “I’m concerned about the remoteness of it and bringing in industry,” said Jennifer Crichton, a Quigley Road resident. She worried that its rural location would lead to a lack of regulation and supervision of new businesses. Crichton was, however, relieved to learn that the option considered for Quigley Road was abandoned for topographical reasons. Others said they preferred improving Crawford, from Brooks Hill Road, over blazing an entirely new street. It makes more sense to build on what’s already there, said Sam Glass, a Coles Road resident. His partner, Donna Vanderheiden, echoed those sentiments, saying the northern stretch of Crawford was particularly bad. “Its full of potholes, goes up and down — it’s awful,” she said. Phil Nelson, a Crawford Road resident near the south entrance off Highway 525, said he hasn’t made up his mind yet on which route
is best. A paved road would “But, before we do that been with the department be nice, but it comes at we have to figure out how for 20 years, and the county the expense of higher traf- we’re going to pay for it,” hasn’t built any new roads in that time.

Island County is considering the construction of a new road on South Whidbey that would lead to Whidbey Air Park on Crawford Road. Located in the area’s only light industrial zone, planners, Port of South Whidbey and Island County Economic Development Council officials want access improved as a means for bolstering business. The above graphic shows several possible routes, though 3A, 3B and 4B have been eliminated.

Panel of experts speaks on parenting, family services By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record A panel of seven child and family support services personnel will speak at the South Whidbey Children’s Center from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 19. The free event aims to educate families about available public resources, from speech therapy to help with purchasing school supplies. Scheduled officials and groups include: Bess Windecker-Nelson, Partners for Young Children; Sharon Bell, Toddler Learning Center; Gail LaVasser, the Family Resource Center; Kate McVay, Mother Mentors; Wendy Beagle, Island County Infant Mental Health specialist; Lori Montaperto, elementary school psychologist; and Ashley Christensen, elementary speech therapist. According to Kris Barker, executive director at South Whidbey Children’s Center, Island County has several resources available for families, but many parents and caregivers may not be aware of such services, or may not believe they qualify to receive them. For example, said Barker, parents of children who are experiencing speech challenges may believe the child will grow out of it and decline to seek help early on. “In the early learning community we know that early intervention has a much higher success rate for children,” she explained. “It’s also hard — when it’s

your child — to recognize that they may have some challenges that they need support with,” Barker continued. “No one wants to face that reality.” Prior to age eight, Becker explained, is the prime time for children to receive instruction or intervention. Each of the panelists will speak for about 10 minutes, describing their work and the services they offer. A question-and-answer period will follow. “Often, especially if families aren’t in childcare or preschool, they are relying on themselves or their pediatrician to know if their child needs a little extra help,” said Barker. “And that’s great, but that might not be enough for some families.” Speech services, she said, are one of the most requested. Mother Mentors and parenting classes offered at the Family Resource Center, she added, are other prime resources that many new parents may not be aware of. “Coming home with a newborn can be daunting,” she said, explaining that both services assist families
in handling the stress and uncertainty associated with raising a child. “So many new families are trying to decide ‘Is this normal? Is this typical developing behavior?’ ” “Hopefully we’ll have a lot of families come so they can find out what’s available,” Barker added.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS, AND PISCES.
Week of November 16 to 22, 2014 ARIES
You need to clarify the situation regarding finances at work, and some negotiations are tense. You must also bring some balance to the different areas of your life.
TAURUS
Your love life takes up a lot of room, and you experience some beautiful romantic moments. Against all odds, a colleague could even make you a declaration of love.
GEMINI
You need to rest to recover from a bad cold. You may spend a few days at home, and so you go into overdrive during the weekend to catch up on work.
CANCER
You might have some difficulty getting in touch with certain people. But don’t be surprised if they arrive unexpectedly.
LEO
You have a very active social life. A lot of people want to see you and you go out of your way for them. You also have much to tell.
VIRGO
You spend part of the week shopping. You are inspired to redecorate your home. You may also be tempted to put up your Christmas tree early.
LIBRA
This week, you have a great imagination but are also a little lazy. You could just as well create a great masterpiece as contemplate one for a whole week.
SCORPIO
You don’t feel comfortable in the middle of a big crowd. You encounter some inspiring people who give you the motivation to meet new challenges.
SAGITTARIUS
You let yourself succumb to a bit of procrastination. Your loved ones help you put your priorities in order while still managing to make you smile.
CAPRICORN
Even though it seems unrealistic at the moment, a trip starts to take shape. At work, you build a client base that will quickly bring you success and affluence.
AQUARIUS
You find yourself having to do everything on your own, both at work and at home. Some people notice your dedication and reward you for your efforts.
PISCES
Big changes are needed! Just go with the flow and your anxiety will disappear as if by magic. Some projects related to your loved one start to become reality.

that makes it doubtful that the property hasn’t suffered from flooding in the past. “The problem is the low spot is their property,” Clements said. There isn’t much the Housing Authority, as developers, can do to address a natural problem on adjacent private property, he said. Clements was expected to meet with John Bertrand, development coordinator for Island County Public Works, this week to discuss the issue. Bertrand performed Sunny View’s drainage review for the development’s site plan review. He said it’s still too early to tell whether corrective or mitigating measures will be required as it’s not yet clear what or where the problem lies. Bertrand added that unexpected issues do come up in engineering, and making tweaks or fixes along the way
is common practice. “It’s sort of the nature of the beast of engineering,” he said. Bertrand also said that anything done could be accomplished within the bounds of the county’s existing permit process and not require state involvement. Built by the Housing Authority, Sunny View aims to provide workforce and low-income housing for South Whidbey. Eighteen units are designated for families who make 50 and 60 percent below the area median income — about $36,000 at 50 percent — and seven units are reserved for homeless housing. One unit will house an onsite property manager. The project has been in the works for years and been plagued with hurdles. Unpopular with many in the Freeland area, the project was heavily criticized for its
cost and chosen location, and missioners’ regular meeting was nearly derailed in 2013 Monday, and complained for wastewater treatment about the flooding. Much requirements.

After the meeting adjourned, Rose had strong words for Price Johnson because he said she was not being responsive enough to their concerns. “You’re not an empress, Helen,” Rose said while still seated in the audience. Price Johnson left the hearing room when attempts to discuss the matter were dismissed by Rose. “I don’t want to hear what you have to say,” Rose said.
firefighters and station captains was initially built into the budget, but both were removed in later versions. Chief Rusty Palmer still has worries about adequately
staffing each of the six stations: Clinton, Maxwelton, Langley, Bayview, Saratoga and Freeland. Burnout of paid staff — administration and fire chiefs
— was a major concern in one of the final line-item discussions about the 2015 budget. Commissioner Mike Helland again brought up trying to remove about $5,000 from the expenses reserved for extra vacation buy-back. The money was not the issue, he said, but that the deputy chiefs may wear themselves too thin if they do not take their allotted vacation time every tear. “Take a vacation, be with your family, prune your bushes if you have to,” Helland said. “It’s for the health and welfare of our employees,” he added. Chief Rusty Palmer acknowledged that it was difficult for the deputy chiefs to schedule time off because of the district’s need for an on-
duty officer at all times. The duty officer is one of those who act as the commander at an emergency in a district that relies on less than 80 volunteers for its fire fight ng and emergency medical responses. “There’s really only one week out of every three where you can take off without disrupting things,” said Deputy Chief Mike Cotton. Palmer, however, said that it was a common industry practice for extra vacation to be either used or lost, which the commissioners said they’d consider at the start of next year’s policy updates and rewrites. One way the district may be able to make a slight dent in its volunteer staffing issues was the extension of the district boundaries. Currently,
the district limits where volunteers live to within its service territory, effectively all of South Whidbey north to about Mutiny Bay Road. The board approved the acceptance of one recruit who lives about a mile north of that extent. “As we lose members, we’re needing to expand,” Palmer said. Officially, the boundary policy was suspended for the specific recruit, though Commissioner Kenon Simmons said it should be up to the chief to determine whether a recruit’s residence qualifies them for volunteer service. Making that an official district-wide change will have to come next year, however. In all, the district’s budget decreased by about $60,000 from 2014. That accounts for the district adding about $28,000 from its annual 1 percent increase to its property levy allowed by the state. Three capital expenses are planned for 2015. The first is about $300,000 for design and permitting work on the district’s proposed new Bayview fire station, which will also serve as the district’s new headquarters and training facility. Estimates for the total cost of the project are around $5.4 million. Two new water tenders — vehicles specifically designed to haul water — are slated to be bought in the coming year as well. Each costs about $300,000, and Palmer said it makes sense to buy multiple trucks at a time for cost savings from the manufacturer and to replace a pair of 27-year-old vehicles.
