District cuts principal due to enrollment

By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

It’s the sort of announcement a school superintendent never wants to make.

Jim Shank, superintendent of the Coupeville School District, said at Monday night’s school board meeting that continued declining enrollment would result in the reduction of 4.5 staff positions beginning in the fall.

Retirements and relocations would account for all of those positions except for one.

Shank revealed Tuesday that Larry Walsh would not be retained as principal of the high school and middle school.

Instead, Shank will assume those administrative duties in the fall to go along with his role as superintendent.

Madrona Way project expected to start June 7

By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

Town of Coupeville is hoping to break ground this summer on a road and utility project on Madrona Way. Town Council approved a budget and timeline for the project Tuesday with hopes of starting phase one of the project June 7.

Residents living on Madrona Way will be impacted by the project, which is being completed primarily from Broadway to Vine streets with some water line extension going down toward Captain Whidbey Inn. “It’s about six months of disruption,” said Mayor Nancy Conard. “Local people will still be able to get into their driveways.”

However, there will be times when a resident’s driveway may be blocked for several hours.

Conard said plenty of notice will be given during those times.

The nearly $2 million project has been years in the making and was broken into two phases, which include installation of See MADRONA, page 24

Schools’ Levy passing

Special election boasts ‘good’ voter turnout

By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

The Coupeville School District’s capital facilities levy was passing with a strong lead Tuesday night, much to the delight of district officials.

The first count showed that 55 percent of the voters cast ballots in favor of the $5-million levy.

Some board members and district staff were present at the elections office for the initial count.

“We’re so grateful,” said school board member Glenda Merwin. “We so love our Coupeville supporters.”

The Island County Auditor’s Office sent out more than 7,200 ballots with 3,400 turned in for the initial count Tuesday, landing voter turnout at about 47 percent.

“It’s a good turnout for a special election of this size,” said Island County Audi-

tor Sheila Crider. “It’s an indication of the strong community support Coupeville has.”

The levy will cost a homeowner with a $200,000 home about $180 a year in property taxes, according to the school district.

The $5-million levy will be collected over three years and will be used to complete capital improvement projects within the school district.

Projects are planned in three phases and include replacing the middle school roof, replacing heating and ventilation systems in the elementary and middle school and making needed repairs to the district’s aging athletic infrastructure.

“I’m especially thrilled for the opportunity we’ll have to complete these projects we have phased and presented,” said Superintendent Jim Shank. “And we appreciate the support of the Friends of Coupeville schools and all they’ve done for us. And for all of those who support Coupeville Schools.”

The first phase will involve remodeling the elementary school restroom; repairing a wall; updating the middle school heating and ventilation system; replacing the track; replacing gym bleachers; and adding additional bleachers at the football field.

Replacing the track is one of the largest expenses at an estimated cost of $727,000.

The first construction projects won’t take place until the summer of 2016.

The district must collect the tax dollars for one year first, Shank said.

However, the district did take out a loan to replace broken bleachers in the gym and will pay that debt once levy funds comes in.

The auditor’s office will count additional ballots late Wednesday afternoon, with additional results expected between 4-5 p.m.

Any valid ballots received after that count will be included in the results on Tuesday, May 12, when the election is certified.

COER files additional What happens lawsuit to stop OLF use to noise complaints

By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

A citizens’ group that filed a lawsuit in 2013 has filed an additional action to force the Navy to stop flying the EA-18G Growlers over Coupeville.

The Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, filed a motion Monday in Federal Court asking a judge to rule that the aircraft be forced to stop using Outlying Field Coupeville until the Navy completes an Environmental Impact Statement.

“The EIS isn’t going to be done until 2017,” said COER board member and attorney Ken Pickard Tuesday.

“We’re being irreparably injured every time they fly.

We’re not going to wait.”

The Navy cannot comment on ongoing litigation, said Mike Welding, the base’s public information officer.

The Motion for Preliminary Injunction was filed in the United States District Court, Western District in Seattle. While Growlers fly at both the Navy’s main Ault Field and OLF Coupeville, the citizen group’s main complaint is with the Field Carrier Operations, or touch-and-go practices, in Coupeville.

COER members said they are concerned about homes, businesses and organizations that lie in the flight path of OLF Coupeville.

“While the Navy will assert that FCLP training at the OLF is in the public interest, invoking national security, the use of Ault Field serves the public interest far better than use of OLF Coupeville,” according to the motion.

“Use of OLF Coupeville

“We’re being irreparably injured every time they fly.

We’re not waiting.”

Ken Pickard, board member Citizen’s of Ebey’s Reserve

compromises the visual and auditory integrity of a national historic reserve and the tranquility and safety of an entire community with homes, schools, parks, and important public and private facilities, including a hospital, local government, law enforcement and commercial development.”

While the Navy is always looking to balance real-life training with simulation and other locations, ceasing use of OLF is “unrealistic,” said Butch Bailey, former Wing 10 commander and president of the local Navy League.

“From a national security standpoint, right now that has to be done,” Bailey said.

“OLF is uniquely set up in order to provide that kind of training.”

Bailey said that, during his command during Desert Storm, the Navy exceeded 30,000 operations annually at OLF but has since brought that number down to 6,120 annually in 2005.

The Navy exceeded this operational cap in 2011-13, however.

“The Navy has been a good partner and a good citizen over the years, and the idea that the Navy would go away and not use Coupeville, it’s unrealistic,” Bailey said.

In a press release Mon-

day, COER responded to Navy “personnel and retirees who have frequently called those affected citizens unpatriotic.”

“It’s quite the opposite,” Pickard said. “We all care deeply.”

In recent years, COER has expanded its original mission to close OLF and has stated its larger goal is to get the Growler removed from the Pacific Northwest.

Pickard said Monday’s motion was simply one of many fronts on which the group is fighting.

“We think the Growler is a very poor fit for Northwest Washington,” Pickard said.

“It’s one of the many things we’re doing. And it’s a major one. It’s what got our group started.”

In its motion, COER claims the jet noise is damaging the physical and mental health of those working and living under the flight path.

The anti-noise group has also collected a number of first-person “declarations” on its website from people who describe the jets’ effects.

“We are extremely disappointed with our elected officials who won’t speak out on behalf of those they purport to represent,” said COER board member Maryon Attwood.

Navy Admiral Bill Gortney, in his official capacity as the commander, Fleet Forces Command, and Commander Mike Nortier, in his official capacity as commander of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, are identified as defendants in the lawsuit.

Noise emitting from a Navy base is inevitable.

And the Navy says it takes careful note of each resident complaint and does what it can to mitigate the effect of its aircraft noise on its residents.

“We take the noise complaint process seriously, but we cannot promise you won’t hear noise,” said Operations Officer Cmdr.

Chip Gaber of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

RESIDENTS CAN log a complaint with the Navy via phone or email. From there, Gaber says, each communication is entered into a database so the Navy can track trends and follow up on anything that appears unusual.

In most cases, complaints can be correlated with known operations, Gaber said.

A common complaint is that aircraft are flying too low in areas they shouldn’t.

Gaber said pilots who fly at unauthorized altitudes or in locations would be reprimanded.

“There’s very little for making it up as you go,” Gaber said. “It doesn’t happen here. If we had a pilot that was breaking the rules, that would be very bad for him.”

Air traffic control monitors all operations as well, Gaber said. If the Navy receives complaints that an aircraft is flying too low or in an unusual location, they go back and review recorded radar readings.

GABER SAID the Navy received 825 complaints in 2013 made by 289 individual callers and 797 calls made by 283 individuals during 2014.

“What you will see is that a lot of callers are call-

ing more than once,” Gaber said. Approximately 145 of those calls came from one person in 2014.

“There’s a handful of frequent callers,” Gaber said.

In those cases, they still log the call but are less likely to follow up unless specifically asked.

“In all cases, the highest leadership has got eyeballs on the process and who’s calling about the noise,” Gaber said.

In some cases, there are instances where the aircraft has to make an emergency maneuver or needs to change its route according to weather.

“There’s always a reason people hear noise,” Gaber said.

“We don’t call everyone back, but we try to find the ones that seem to be something different.”

IN SOME instances, the noise doesn’t come from the Navy at all, Gaber said.

There have been times when a noise complaint has come in and the runway was closed. In those cases, Gaber said it could be a private airplane, a commercial aircraft or a Canadian military operation.

Both the Navy and Congressman Rick Larsen expressed their desire to somehow decrease the impacts of jet noise on the area’s residents.

Installation of a “hush house” was kicked around, but it would only partially mitigate the on-ground engine “run-ups” and wouldn’t impact the in-air noise, Navy officials said.

The majority of complaints are in reference to inair operations, Gaber said.

DURING A recent town hall meeting, Larsen mentioned the possibility of installing chevrons on the engines to decrease the noise. But testing con-

ducted by the Navy found that chevrons are costly and wear out, according to “Currents Magazine,” published by the Navy’s department of Energy, Environment and Climate Change.

The most recent change requires that pilots keep landing gear retracted during touch-and-go operations at Ault Field until they are away from the San Juans and over water.

“If there are potential mitigations, we’ll look at that,” said Mike Welding, public affairs officer for the base. “It takes time, but we don’t ignore it.”

CITING A lack of trust for the Navy’s public input hotline, the anti-noise group Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve created its own complaint hotline in January 2014. COER representatives said they would track complaints and forward them to the Navy.

“We have had approximately 460 calls since we set it up a little over a year ago,” said COER spokesperson Cate Andrews. “I have personally called back each person who asked, and I have heard a tremendous amount of anger, sadness and shock at the fact that this is allowed to happen.”

According to COER’s count, Andrews said, 70 percent of the complaints come from Coupeville residents, with the rest peppered through the San Juans Islands, Port Townsend and North Whidbey.

Another hotline, the San Juan County Jet Aircraft Noise Reporting Group, was also created, Andrews said. This group claims it received 350 calls just in January with complaints coming from Friday Harbor, Lopez, Orcas and Victoria, British Columbia.

Transit may sell off gazebos Man charged

By Jessie Stensland Co-Editor

Wanna buy a gazebo?

Island Transit may soon be selling two of the wooden structures as well as a tractor to anyone with the best offer.

The agency may have to pay back as much as $140,000 of a federal grant that were spent on extras that didn’t qualify for federal taxpayer funds.

At the top of the list of items inappropriately purchased are the gazebos, though the structures account for just $7,000 of the alleged misspent funds.

Ken Graska, the interim director, and Oak Harbor City Councilman Rick Almberg, the chairman of the transit board, said Friday that they hope to recoup some of the money by selling the picturesque gazebos, noting they would be perfect compliments to a wedding.

“We would be very interested in having a local winery purchase them,” Almberg said, adding that eBay may also be an option.

Graska said he and the new financial analyst have had to reconstruct budgets and other information related to the construction of the facility in the wake of a scathing audit, which identified possible misspent grant money, among other issues.

“It seems clear to me that there were things that were not eligible for the grant dollars but still were purchased,” he said.

Problems arose at the transit agency last year, under the watch of former director Martha Rose and the former finance direc-

Live the Island Dream…

tor. Rose is under investigation by the Washington State Patrol, as the request of the county prosecutor.

Graska said the $140,000 figure for possible misspent grants dollars is a “rough estimate” and that the transit agency has until June 30 to respond to the federal government about the issue.

Refunding the money would put a significant dent in the agency’s tight budget, but money has been budgeted for the payback, he said.

In addition to the two gazebos, more than $20,000 of grant funds were used to purchase a tractor. The rest of the grant spending questioned by auditors consist of “inkind staff labor that went over budget,” Graska said.

The gazebos were meant as shelters for smokers but weren’t part of the original architectural plans.

Nonetheless, he’s never seen anyone in either gazebo until Friday.

Ironically, Island Transit critic Gayle Zachaukirk may have been one of the first people to use one of the gazebos for its intended purpose. She lit up a cigarette before attending the board meeting Friday morning.

She said she would be in favor of selling the gazebos if the federal government decides that purchasing them violated the terms of the grant funding.

As for the tractor, Graska said it is a useful piece of equipment to have

Both he and Almberg said they would like to see it sold if a reasonable amount of money can be recovered, which seems likely. Likewise, Island County Commissioner Rick Hannold, also a member of the transit

board, said he’s in favor of selling anything that’s excess.

Critics of Island Transit have also complained about other lavish features in the new facility, from fancy artwork to an even fancier kitchen. There have been no allegations, however, that money was misspent on any of these items.

A man suspected of shooting a laser at Whidbey General Hospital staff member is wanted on a $10,000 arrest warrant, according to court documents.

Prosecutors charged 45-year-old Bryan T. Smith of Oak Harbor in Island County Superior Court with felony harassment last month.

Coupeville Marshal Rick Norrie investigated the incident that occurred on the night of Dec. 14, 2014.

The hospital security officer reported that Smith and his stepson had been disorderly at the hospital earlier in the night, but returned in a car about an hour later; the stepson got out of the vehicle and started “flipping off” the security officer and yelling, prompting the security officer to lock the doors and ask staff to press their “personal safety devices,” Norrie wrote.

One of the staff members was standing at the glass sliding doors when she noticed a laser light. The red light moved up her chest and toward her head.

“Not knowing if it was a gun or, just a laser pointer, he yelled at her to move and take

cover,” Norrie wrote.

The woman ran and hid in fear. She later told Norrie that the laser appeared to have originated from the men’s vehicle.

Smith and his stepson ran up to the locked doors and yelled obscenities. The younger man punched the glass doors several times, the report states.

The security officer reported that it took a deputy with the Island County Sheriff’s Office and a trooper with the State Patrol about 20 to 25 minutes to respond.

While the officers were interviewing a witness, Smith allegedly called the hospital and asked to speak with the security officer. Smith used a racial slur and threatened to kill him and his family, Norrie wrote.

In an interview with Norris, Smith said he became angry because the security guard prevented his daughter from leaving the hospital, but he denied making a threat, the report states.

He also denied using or owning a laser pointer.

If convicted of the charge, Smith could face more than four years in prison under the standard sentencing range.

The Whidbey Examiner • Thursday, April 30, 2015

Inspired by recent Examiner editorials on transparency Editor, I’ve been impressed and inspired by the content and writing quality of your recent opinion pieces. Two cases in point are the endof-year editorial “Hope for more transparency in new year” and “Transparency matters for all taxing districts” Jan. 21.

You properly named names in citing Island Transit, Whidbey General Hospital and the Port of Coupeville as blatant offenders.

Additionally, you gave examples, such as commissioners conducting business in private, delaying responding to public record requests, replacing board members without public input, scheduling public meetings at poor times and publishing sparse meeting agendas.

The implosion of Island Transit simply would not have happened had there been proper transparency of its business operations.

Next up is Whidbey General. At its April board meeting, Coupeville’s Dr. Richard Wagner asked that the topic of greater transparency be put on the May agenda, so we’ll soon see if it happens. We hope for another big turnout, though the meeting is at 7 a.m.

In the meantime, thanks to the editorial team of Jessie and Megan for their on-point and inspiring views. As you said about transparency, “It’s an idea that’s vital to our democracy.”

Rob Born Greenbank

Response was rude and unnecessary Editor, I believe that every American has the right to his or her own opinion. However their opinions are not facts. I’ve been doing research, looking for facts about jet noise. COER posted a public meeting advertising.

“The medical and scientific evidence is clear and undisputed: Noise damages health and well-being. Military jet noise is particularly harmful.

A lot of misinformation is floating around on this issue. Attend this meeting and get the facts for yourself. COER is sponsoring this informational meeting. A presentation with visuals and information derived from health and noise experts will be followed by a question-and-answer period.”

COER always gives its opinion but offers no facts. I wanted to attend their pubic meeting to find out the facts behind their anger.

I was recently at Congressman Rick Larsen’s hometown meeting in Coupeville

and I was appalled at COER’s disruptive behavior as you can hear on the COER video.

The COER temper tantrums are worse than a 3-year-old’s. I was shocked to see adults act like this in public.

I asked for more information about the meeting.

This is the rude response I received from Michael Monson: “Isabella, feel free to not attend. This is a public meeting. Your attendance is not a requirement. All our facts are readily available on our website. Please go to the links and files page, under the JGL sound study and the health study. Please go to www.citizen sofebeysreserve.com then to the links and files page, all the questions are answered there.

And, if you choose to attend, please be a courteous guest. Why don’t you organize your own meeting, rather than demand we do what you want? This is our meeting, not yours. When and where will your presentation be held? I’m sure that the claimed 30,000 people who will lose their jobs if the base were to close will attend your meeting. 30,000? Where do you get those facts?”

COER member Brian Walker also responded to Mr. Monson, saying, “Michael, just post the meeting agenda. This is what smart people call a faux controversy created by lack of disclosure.”

My reply: “Your hostility-filled answer is not necessary. Asking for information about a public meeting is not out of line.”

Isabella Scotts Freeland

COER placing greed over flier safety Editor, I just read the blasphemous COER filing of an injunction against OLF Coupeville.

This injunction puts into stark relief that the reality of reasoning with COER is impossible. The only solution COER will accept to subsidize their choice to encroach on OLF is the closure of OLF Coupeville regardless of the consequences.

Back in 2013, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson took Central Whidbey surveys. According to the survey Ken Pickard filled out, he thought there was a “termination of our four-generational life on Ebey’s Prairie.”

I sure don’t see any termination in 2015.

But I sure get that Pickard thinks it’d be good to “lose the oozing of pork grease at NAS Whidbey on paydays twice a month” as “The NAS base keeps the island dysfunctional” as per emails to Price Johnson on COER’s behalf with COER spokespeople standing behind that venom.

Also, I’ve researched COER members’ property values as well above $350,000.

However, your newspaper wrote on April 22, “This seller’s market is particularly evident in the $200,000 and less homes coveted by

first-time homebuyers and military personnel.” This affirms my belief COER has antiNavy greed.

Ultimately, now that COER places greed over the safety of Navy service members, nothing COER can say will make even me listen.

Barberries pay off when it comes to colorful foliage toni grove sowin ’n’ the trowel I don’t know about you, but if I’m putting a lot of effort into the care and maintenance of a shrub, let alone the financial investment at the time of purchase, I want a reasonable payoff. This is doubly true when it comes to deciduous shrubs.

It’s bad enough having to watch their leaves drop in the fall. Now there’s the added insult of having to go out and rake them all up and then stare at a bunch of bare branches till spring.

It’s easy to forgive a maple or an oak for littering your lawn and then standing proudly naked in the winter time. They exude a kind of

majesty that demands respect and offers plenty of assurance you’ll be back in the shade by mid-summer.

A barberry, on the other hand, demands a lot of faith on a gardener’s part that something good will eventually come out of that winter witch’s brew of grayish branches and rapier-sharp thorns.

What keeps many local gardeners from tossing them over a bluff into Admiralty Inlet after backing into one while weeding is their splendid foliage. That and the fact they’re hardy and pretty carefree and don’t need a lot of water once established.

They also can take a bit of shade and deer aren’t that interested in them once they mature and are “fully armed.”

When they eventually do leaf out again in spring, Japanese barberries, or Berberis thungergii, can produce some very striking foliage that morphs through a series

of different colors as spring turns into fall.

For example, Rose Glow has purple foliage, but newer leaves start out rosy pink with some splotches of bronze. Orange Rocket starts out with salmoncolored leaves that turn to bright red in the fall, while Aurea has yellow leaves that turn greenish yellow in the fall.

Most barberries reach from three to five feet in height and produce yellow flowers that become red berries. If the berries remain in the winter, they can soften the appearance of those bare, spiny branches I mentioned earlier.

The berries will also attract birds to your winter garden, which is a big plus for native wildlife as well as for nature lovers.

It does need to be said that since its introduction from Asia in the mid-19th century as an ornamental, barberries have taken pretty

well to the climate and terrain in the U.S. In fact, in much of the Northeast, it’s thrived to the point of becoming an invasive pest. I’ve yet to find a patch of barberries that have run amok around here, but we’d do well to keep our eyes peeled just in case. Remember what happened with innocent looking Scotch broom?

If the thought of sparring with prickly branches doesn’t appeal to you, there are many deciduous shrubs that also offer spectacular foliage but without the pain.

One of my favorites is spirea, or Spiraea spp.

Not only do they not have thorns, they provide a double whammy of great-looking foliage in green, yellow and orange along with fabulous blooms that range in color from white to pink, red to purple and even blue.

I did mention they don’t have thorns, didn’t I? None at all. I promise.

A woman for all seasons

Hammer letters in three sports

By Jim Waller Staff Reporter

Hailey Hammer says she loves softball.

There’s a good chance if we could peek into her athletic heart, we would see some passion for volleyball and basketball as well.

The Coupeville High School senior is a member of a rare breed — one that is becoming more scarce each year — the three-sport athlete.

As her high school career comes to a close this spring, she will join an even rarer species — 12-time varsity letter winner.

Hammer acknowledged that when she began her CHS career, she expected to be on the junior varsity teams because that’s where most freshmen land.

“But if a spot is open (on varsity), it’s open to everyone,” she said. “My goal was to get my skills up to varsity level in the week of tryouts.”

In the fall of 2011, Toni Crebbin, who coached varsity volleyball at the time, recognized Hammer’s abilities and selected her for the team. That began Hammer’s run of varsity competition in every sport, every year.

“I had my eye on Hailey since teaching her in P.E. back in sixth grade,” Crebbin said. “I admired her toughness as she always volunteered to be the goalie in both indoor and outdoor soccer, never hesitating to face even the boys. In fact, I think she welcomed the challenge.”

As a freshman, Hammer showed poise, even around upperclassmen, Crebbin said, and that is “what clenched her a spot” on varsity.

“She fit in well,” Crebbin

Hammer said her success was built upon the desire to do “everything to my best abilities.”

She was willing, she said, to recognize her weak points, ask for help to improve them and then spend time after practice to sharpen those skills.

It’s like school, she said.

It’s OK to get “C’s,” “but I want either an ‘A’ or a ‘B.’” Attention to detail is another component of her success, Hammer said.

“I can do several things at once and not just focus on one thing,” which is critical in sports because of the constant motion of athletics, she said.

The help of others also contributed to her accomplishments. The support of her parents, Mark and Linda, the direction of coaches Amy and David King (who coached Hammer from Little League through high school) and the friendship of team-

D I V O R C E

mates Bessie Walstad and Breeanna Messner molded her into a successful athlete, she said.

“Her knowledge of the game and willingness to put the team over individual stuff is great,” David King said.

“When she is on the court or field, I, as a coach, had confidence that she would make the proper play and make our teams better.

“She did a lot of the little things that most fans wouldn’t recognize during the games that would help our team’s performance.”

First-year softball coach Deanna Rafferty, who took over the program when the Kings stepped down last year, likes Hammer’s “positive attitude in tough game situations.”

“We have had games in which the score was not favorable for Coupeville, and I have never seen her drop her head in defeat,” she added.

While Hammer also excels in volleyball and basketball, softball is her favorite sport: “I just love the game. I

love to hit.”

“I grew up on softball,” she added. “I know the most about softball.”

Hammer enjoys hitting, and she likes the-game-within-the-game that comes with defense: “Fielding is like a race, beat the runner. I love games, so I break it into a game between the runner and myself.”

Her fondest memory of her career is hitting her first home run as a freshman. (“I didn’t know I had it in me.”)

The hard work and

We’ve Got You Covered

sacrifice led to Hammer’s proudest moment, receiving a scholarship to play softball for Everett Community College. (“I never though I would make it that far.”)

In addition to playing three sports, Hammer works at the Keystone Cafe full time during the summer and on weekends during the school year.

Toss in year-round select softball (which she has played since eighth grade), open gyms and studying, and that doesn’t leave much time

for socializing.

“Sometimes I feel like I missed out on social gatherings, but at the same time, no, because I had my (teammates) with me,” Hammer said.

She does, however, wish she had more time to spend with friends who do not play sports.

Those friends are going to have to wait a little longer.

Hammer’s wrapping up her softball season and her final varsity letter.

The Coupeville Ferry will be shut down this weekend, May 2-3, in order to complete needed repairs to the Coupeville terminal.

The closure is planned and dates were approved by community leaders.

Repairs will be made to the transfer span, or ramp, which broke last fall and a temporary fix was put in place until now.

District’s enrollment has been declining since the 2004-05 school year when the district had 1,128 students.

Enrollment is projected to be at 840 students in the fall.

That number is based on a trend in the past three years with enrollment dipping about 100 students since the 2011-12 school year.

Current enrollment is 858, Shank said.

Walsh’s last day at Coupeville will be June 30 when his contract ends.

All principals have oneyear contracts, Shank said.

Although he was only in Coupeville a year, Walsh has led critical staff discussions about a new school schedule that will increase student options beginning next school year.

“It’s been a privilege and rewarding experience to serve at CMS/HS,” Walsh wrote in an email. “I will miss the extraordinary staff, students and families I have come to know this year.”

MADRONA: Project includes road and utility phases From page 1 new water and sewer mains and construction of a sewer lift station.

Phase two includes road reconstruction, installation of a storm drain system and bioswales, and installation of a pedestrian path.

Drivers in the area will experience detours onto Vine and Sherman roads during

the project.

Conard said the town will post signs that also inform visitors that businesses in the area are still open during the construction.

The town applied for grant and loan funding from the USDA in the hope of funding the $1.12 million utility portion of the project.

If not, the town has already made preliminary con-

tact with local banks and has options for long-term funding, Conard said.

There is also about $800,000 in the water and sewer capital fund that can be used.

The town also has about $790,000 in funds from selling easement rights to its Keystone Hill property, but Conard said the town would prefer to use those funds on

some other projects.

“We are currently developing various scenarios for financing and will have a more definitive proposal when we hear from USDA and open the bids,” she said.

The road portion of the project is anticipated to cost roughly $732,000. More than $630,000 of that is already covered by a grant from the state Department of Trans-

portation and $65,000 from the Transportation Improvement Board. The town will be responsible for about $33,000 of the road phase of the project.

“We will be going out to bid as soon as possible after the final bid documents are approved by all the funding agencies,” Conard said.

With an anticipated start date of June 7 for the utility portion, town officials hope it will be completed by Sept. 15.

The road portion of the project will overlap with an Aug. 1 start date and completion

by Oct. 1.

Town staff has been working on the Madrona Way project for several years.

There are many working parts to the project, including acquiring small parcels of property for right-of-way and

assessing the area’s archeological integrity.

Also Tuesday night, the council approved an agreement with Equinox Research and Consulting International, Inc. to monitor the project after shell midden deposits were found near the intersection of Sherman Road and Madrona.

Midden is a mound or deposit containing shells, animal bones and other refuse that indicates the site of a human settlement.

Conard said the state Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation recommended the town monitor construction near the area and that she anticipated it would also be a condition of the town’s shoreline development permit.

The cost of that contract is about $8,200.

Niki Greene, age 14, is brimming with excitement as she talks about her upcoming performance with the Island Dance Performing Team.

Greene has been with the school since the age of five; this is her first year on the team, an opportunity she’s had her sights on for over two years.

“Everything fell into place,” she said.

Greene will be joining fellow Island Dance Performing Team members and guests at the upcoming annual Other Moves dance showcase, which features a variety of dance styles ranging from hip hop to lyrical, jazz and contemporary.

Performances will take place at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, Feb. 21 at the South Whidbey High School Auditorium Theater.

In addition to it being a venue for community members and Island Dance performers to take to the stage to demonstrate their artistry, the showcase is a major fundraiser for the performing team.

Funds raised from the

event will be used to offset the costs of competitions throughout the year. They include travel expenses, entrance fees and costumes.

Jamee Pitts, artistic director and choreographer, stressed that the team is less focused on winning competitions and more upon building the dancers’ skill sets and showcasing their teamwork, tenacity and passion.

“We aren’t going there and saying, ‘I’m going to win first place; I’m going to win double-platinum,’ ” Pitts said.

“We’re going and saying, ‘I’m going to share my gift and my love for dance; and I’m going to share my story with the audience; and I can’t wait to get the judges’ critique to better myself.’ ” The team was created

by Susan Vanderwood as a means for intermediate dancers who were not quite ready to join the professional Whidbey Island Dance Theater company to get a little more out of the school, a sort of “next edge,” towards a dance career.

Competition was never really the focus, which Pitts says is somewhat unique to Island Dance due to it being home to a school, profession-
