Langley mayoral candidates Tim Callison, Sharon Emerson and Thomas Gill participate in an election forum Thursday.

Mayoral hopefuls offer visions for Langley Diagnosis of hospital woes vary widely by candidate

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Langley mayoral and Whidbey General Hospital commissioner candidates shared a little more about their backgrounds and vision at the final scheduled public forum on South Whidbey before the primary election. The three Langley candidates touted their different experiences at the voter forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island and Sno-Isle Libraries. Answering 12

questions, the Langley candidates were civil during the nearly hour-long Q&A session. None of them used their challenge cards, which were available to counter a fellow candidate’s response. Facing a crowd of about 50 people at the Langley United Methodist Church on Thursday night, the questions covered a range of issues facing the city. Some of the inquiries were about the nature of balancing residential and commercial interests, familiarity with the

city budget and possible improvements, infrastructure projects to be pursued, city funding sources, water and utility rates, the police department’s size, and encouraging youth and younger generations to live in Langley. Some of the more pressing questions were with regard to the balance between a desire for growth and maintaining the city’s Village by the Sea character. Mayoral candidate Tim Callison, who touted his 36-year career as a corporate executive,

said the city’s citizen advisory boards handle those issues well, citing businesses that ask to develop in certain ways that could impact views and were denied or rejected. Sharon Emerson, who also said her qualifications as a career administrator suited her well for the elected office, cited the city’s ongoing struggle with Mo’s Pub and Eatery and nearby residents complaining of noise.

Notable SWHS alum completes 88-day course on wilderness, leadership skills During an 88-day course with the National Outdoor Leadership School, 19-year-old Jack Bruemmer of Langley explored the Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, and Utah. Bruemmer, a 2014 graduate of South Whidbey High School and current Western Washington University student, recently completed a wilderness expedition with the outdoor school that provided technical outdoor skills, and wilderness ethic and leadership skills. Bruemmer and his course mates began their semester in the Rockies developing technical rock climbing skills by conquering obstacles like the Black Hills of South Dakota, Devil’s Tower in northeastern Wyoming, and Fremont Canyon in central Wyoming. While climbing, Bruemmer was taught lessons on how

to camp efficiently, apply leave-no-trace principles, risk assessment, and selfrescue. Bruemmer and his classmates traveled to Utah for the river portion of their semester. Using whitewater kayaks and oar rafts on the Green River and whitewater canoes on the San Juan River, Bruemmer was able to paddle Class

III rapids, practice swiftwater rescue skills, and hike to historic sites along the riverbank. Another phase of the course included canyoneering in the Cedar Mesa wilderness. Bruemmer hiked 130 miles over a 26-day period, where he explored Anasazi ruins as well as make decisions indepen-

dent of his instructors. Temperatures dropped below 15 degrees at times. Bruemmer ended the semester with a 12-day winter camping section based deep in the Absaroka Mountain Range of Wyoming. The group traveled on telemark skis through almost five feet of fresh powder snow, which provided ample opportunities to learn avalanche and terrain management. At camp, students built intricate snow shelters, called quigloos, to help protect from the cold temperatures and high winds. “I would say it definitely has changed my goals in life,” Bruemmer said. “Before, I thought I would take a job where I could make a lot of money. But when you live out of a backpack, you learn that you don’t really need much. It definitely reinforced my love for the outdoors.” Photo courtesy of Randy Rovang

said she would work with all parties to negotiate a “win-win” solution. Thomas Gill, a city councilman midway through his first term, alluded to the recent food truck flap in which the city approved an application and may have known the vehicle exceeded the length restriction outlined in city code. The council eventually amended the ordinance to remove the length restriction, among other changes, to allow food trucks to resume operations. “We’re learning,” Gill said. “Nobody who is going to do this job is going to be perfect.”

PORT CONTINUED FROM A1

The port and management group will honor its current contract through the end of the year. On Jan. 1, 2016 the port will assume all management control. This comes after months of negotiations between both parties. A draft contract was being reviewed by lawyers and was expected to be ready in August. The unexpected motion was brought forth by interim Commissioner John Carr toward the end of the meeting. “I was brought in a couple of months ago to take a hard look at the leases and (the port’s) business,” Carr said. The commissioner, who has a background in real estate, said the port has paid $2 million into the farm and continues to lose money each year in its overall budget. “I think it’s time to try something that is fiscally responsible for taxpayer money,” he said. Carr made his motion, which was met with mostly outrage and some praise from the audience. Commissioner and board president Marshall Bronson seconded the motion. “It is not unreasonable to assume the port can manage

Their prior experience was a running point for the mayoral candidates. Callison several times worked into his responses that he had led a successful company, highlighting his ability to lead, identify efficiencies and work with a group of people with diverse and sometimes competing interests. Emerson, who still runs her own medical care business she co-founded, touted her ability to oversee a large staff. “I stand for courtesy, competence and common sense,” she said in her opening statement. Gill said he is the lone candidate who knows the workings of city government. Prior to being elected in an unopposed race to the city council in November 2013, Gill had served on

the farm,” Bronson said. “We get income from the wharf and not from the farm.” Commissioner Mike Diamanti was the lone vote against the motion. “I’m absolutely flabbergasted,” he said. “As a board we have agreed to the draft terms. I thought we were moving along. This came out of left field. I unequivocally oppose this motion.” Diamanti said it was a preemptive strike to take over the farm and not work collaboratively with the community. In response, Bronson said that under the proposal the port would be working with the community. “These are your taxpayers in the audience,” one audience member shouted. Another, “When do we get to vote you out?” Both commissioners who voted in favor of the motion are not seeking reelection. Carr, who was appointed to fill a vacated position, will be replaced by candidate John Mishasek come November. Bronson will be replaced by William Bell at the end of the year. And while Diamanti was outnumbered on the decision, he’s not giving up on the issue. “I’m going to soldier on,” Diamanti said. “This is far from a done deal.” Bronson said the port will

the Planning Advisory Board. “Though I am the youngest candidate, I am the one with the most city experience,” he said. All three candidates said they wanted to see a diversification of the generations living in Langley and to utilize the expertise and knowledge of the older residents willing to lend a hand for the city. “I want to see a balancing of the demographics,” Callison said in his closing statement. “Everything we do needs to expand that village feeling,” he later added. The hospital commissioners offered vastly different takes on leadership of Whidbey General Hospital. Joyce Amatuzzo of Oak Harbor asked the candidates what they’d do

need to hire employees, most likely a manager and events coordinator, when it takes over management of the farm. What the bigger picture will look like, he said, he doesn’t know. “We’ll have to pencil it out,” he said. “There’s enough people with the interest and capacity. We want the farm to stay and be the center of community activities.” Bronson said he would be open to taking on existing employees, though he said they’d probably be paid less and it might not be all of them. “I think we could do with less employees,” he said. Julie Dougherty Winger, who works for the management group, questioned the decision. “I fail to see how the transfer of management from the management group to the port does anything,” she said.

about what she said were impending cuts to the hospital’s Medicare reimbursement rates. Rita Drum said the hospital must be prepared for lower reimbursement. Georgia Gardner, the incumbent who was appointed in July 2012, said Whidbey General Hospital may not be affected because it is a critical access hospital, but a just-in-case budget was created with several possible factors included. “We’ve got a three-year pro forma budget …,” Gardner replied, “with all these scenarios plugged into it.” Robert Born of Greenbank said he thought the hospital was protected as well because of its critical access designation. In closing statements, Gardner said she was dedicated to the over-

“We are a well-oiled machine. “I think we’ve been doing a hell of a job and we were looking forward to the future.” She also questioned the manner in which the decision was made. “It seems to be a rushed decision,” Dougherty Winger said. “(Our partnership) involves some level of trust and it feels like that was crushed.” Greenbank Farm Management Group Executive Director Judy Feldman said she wasn’t surprised by the decision, but by how it was made. She said she doesn’t think the commissioners understand fully what it takes to run the farm. What she found particularly discouraging about the meeting, she said, was that the commissioners waited until the end of the meeting to make the motion and the

public wasn’t able to ask questions. “The biggest disappointment was the lack of respect to the people who took two hours out of their day,” Feldman said. This is something farm volunteer David Stern reiterated as well. “I think the community left feeling upset and that they don’t have a say,” said Stern, whose wife works for

the management group. “All the donations and goodwill is gone there now.” For the time being, the management group will stay with the status quo. “They effectively said they don’t want to talk to us anymore,” Feldman said. “We will continue to do our job, report in and if they have questions we will answer them.”

sight of the hospital’s finances. As a certified public accountant, that’s where her expertise was best utilized. She cited the hospital’s switch to a different software without asking for a tech levy as an example of strong stewardship of public funding. Born, who has long dogged the hospital district for public records, said he was a problem identifier and solver by nature. “I’m an advocate, I’m a lawyer, I’m a communicator,” he said. Drum said her vast experience working in healthcare as a pathologists’ assistant would help her understand the inner workings of the hospital. “A hospital needs someone who is able to communicate with the hospital staff,” she said.

“Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.” ~Sam Keen

LANGLEY Ethics board members added Sharon Betcher and Monica Guzman are Langley’s newest ethics board members. Both women were appointed to the citizen board Monday by Mayor Fred McCarthy and confirmed by the city council at its regular meeting July 6.

Their addition brings the board to four members, with two more sought, one as an alternate. McCarthy said both members were well qualified, highlighting Betcher’s academic achievements — a doctorate, two master’s degrees and a bachelor’s degree. “We feel very confident she will represent a certain group of people in our community,” McCarthy said. He also praised Guzman’s life of public service as a social worker and on the city’s Civil Service Commission. “Those that know you know you to be a very good thinker and integral to our community,” McCarthy said to Guzman. Two more ethics board members are needed before the group is officially formed. Five members are required for the voting board, plus one alternate. McCarthy has stated he intends to have gender equality among the members, with three men and three women. To date, two men and two women are appointed board members. The final two appointments must be Langley residents, per the ethics board bylaw that requires a majority of the members to be city residents.

Star Store, city swap land The Star Store and Langley have agreed to a small land swap on McLeod Alley. Star Store owner Gene Felton had asked for the right of way vacation, the term for asking a public agency to give up part of a public space, at the council’s previous meeting in June. Felton has plans to renovate the alley-facing facade and entrance of the store, replace the stairs that lead up to Prima Bistro, and relocate the compressors behind a parapet wall above the entrance. The city held a brief public hearing over the matter during Monday’s council meeting — no comments were given. Stan Berryman, director of Public Works, said the city is gaining 77 square feet in the swap, which essentially allows the Star Store to build on property it has already used for years. “In order to get a building permit, he’s gotta do it on his own property,” said Eric Richmond, owner of the design company Flat Rock Productions, who is handling the project for Felton. Felton also said that part of the upgrade is a

Folders mark different vendors and presenters for the fair. Both Coble and Grant keep a folder marked “Carol’s 2016 ideas” or “Kiley’s 2016 ideas” with thoughts for next year’s fair, even though the 2015 fair has yet to begin. “We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, but we are trying to innovate,” Coble said. One of their hallmark ideas was seeking a corporate sponsor for the fair’s main stage entertainment this year. They asked, and they received.

In some ways, they kind of are. Grant was good friends with Coble’s daughter and they have known each for the past 20-plus years. They can finish each other’s sentences and are frank and honest with each other during their part-time duties as interim cofair administrators. Since late February, they have run the administrative office of the Island County Fair Association, the group tasked with putting on the four-day annual event.

Rather than offer top-down solutions, the two longtime fairgoers and presenters are seeking input from the building supervisors, fair association and others into shaping this year’s fair. “There’s people who have a lot of experience,” said Coble, who spoke the most during a recent 90-minute visit to the fairgrounds. “We draw from

Editorial Letters Greenbank Farm deal Response Fireworks, dry smacks of disrespect weather don’t mix So, they finally did it. After years and years of on-again, off-again relations, quiet grumbling and likely more than a few private fantasies of more financially profitable partnerships, Port of Coupeville commissioners this week unexpectedly and pointedly cut ties with the Greenbank Farm Management Group. Despite being in ongoing negotiations for a new contract that would have started next year, and making a clearly unpopular decision before what was the largest crowd to attend a port meeting in recent memory, the board effectively said, “Nope, we’re done. Thanks, but adios.” While the basis for the 2-1 vote is understandable — to some, the dividends of decades of investment amount to little more than crushed hopes for an economic engine that simply never was — this is indeed a sorry conclusion to a 20-plus year relationship. To say it was poorly executed is an understatement. Rather, it smacks of blunder: a rash decision with no promise for success and an affront to the businesses and people who have helped carry the farm through some tough years. Commissioner Marshall Bronson and Commissioner John Carr, Bronson’s handpicked colleague who was appointed earlier this year without seeking resumes from the public, no doubt have thought about the relationship with the management group and the farm’s fate for some time. Their duty as port commissioners, a junior taxing district that exists largely to foster economic development, is to look at ways to best utilize the public’s dime. They are supposed to divorce sentiment from facts, but unfortunately the reality remains as cloudy as Carr’s appointment. The management group’s contract is up at the end of the year, and the board’s plan for succession is a mystery. Five months is a tight timeline for coming up with a new plan or group. Of course there has been much discussion in recent weeks about some kind of relationship with Washington State University, but leaders at WSU and the port have been quick to soothe what’s amounted to community panic with promises of “Nothing has happened or decided, we’re just talking.” Perhaps that remains true, but this week that seems highly suspect. Indeed, trust in port commissioners has reached a new low. Furthermore, that the board would make such a surprise decision while the management group was operating on good faith that a new agreement was on the verge of being hammered out is beyond bad form — it’s just plain rude. That neither Bronson or Carr are running for reelection only adds insult to injury. While it’s true the farm has been an expensive experiment for the port and never been the bosom of industry that some have hoped, this appears to be a rash decision that smacks of disrespect and behind the scenes maneuvering unbecoming of elected office.

Editor, This July 4 was marked by the most extreme fire danger in many years and still people chose to buy and explode personal fireworks because it is their “right.” The rationale was that they would be careful and responsible, and thanks to most who were. The problem is that fire is not careful and responsible, and in conditions like we are currently experiencing, mere embers can explode into flames many hours after they land. The home where our son took his first steps in the mountains east of San Diego is nothing but a concrete pad to this day as the result of a tragic brushfire. People who have not actually lost a home filled with memories may not fully comprehend the lasting magnitude of this experience. While other communities simply banned fireworks, we here were left to our devices. Neighbors who chose not to shoot fireworks in the interest of fire safety were right next to neighbors who did in the interest of tradition and entertainment. Plus, people came over from locales that had banned fireworks to buy and shoot them here, adding to the potential burden of our own dedicated firefighters. Maybe the organizations that sell fireworks could take more responsibility for hosting safety meetings, or circulating safety information, particularly when public officials are

practically begging people not to use fireworks due to high fire danger. Or maybe elected officials could put public safety rather than political expedience first when potential fire conditions reach record breaking levels. At any rate, the issue demands real leadership from somebody, so no one here is ever left with the smoldering vestige of a home as the result of our celebration of independence.

am concerned that the city strayed away from its original agreement with the federal government to receive funding for Wharf Street and now intends to use the money for a funicular. I have spent more time studying the candidates for this election than nearly any prior election. While listening to the candidates, one candidate has consistently addressed the concerns I have in a complete and thoughtful manner. When I met with Tim Callison it became clear to me that he was someone who would listen to my concerns and work diligently to address those concerns. Tim has assured me that he shares the same concerns that I have and that he intends to work to resolve these issues. I found him to be genuine and he took time out of his busy schedule to lay out a clear and concise plan for making Langley not only a great place to visit, but also a great place to live. Respectfully, JENNIFER MARKS Langley

New middle school principal already shaping campus By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record The South Whidbey School District has hired Suzi Mach to be Langley Middle School’s next principal. Mach, a 1989 graduate of Oak Harbor High School and current Langley resident, officially started July 1. She comes to the position with six years of administrative experience in the Bremerton School District, most recently holding the position of vice principal of West Hills STEM Academy.

Suzi Mach The academy is the first dedicated science, technology,

engineering and mathematics (STEM) elementary school in Washington. “She’s a great addition to our administrative staff and we’re excited to move forward,” Superintendent Jo Moccia said. “She’s got tremendous experience in math and science.” Mach’s presence alone at the school has jumpstarted plans of redesigning and renovating the middle school. An “internal facelift” as Mach called it will include two 40-to-50-inch Apple televisions

at the main entrance — one will display a slideshow of past graduating classes while the other will feature current news and messages — along with new carpets, flooring, doors and internal painting. It hasn’t been solidified whether the framed pictures of the past graduating classes will be moved to another location, or if they’ll be kept hanging along the walls of the hallway, but Mach says the goal is to dialogue with the community and find a place where they can be displayed and eas-

ily viewable by the public. “We want to keep the history alive, but help the kids move forward and focus on the day in front of them,” Mach said. “I want a building that’s alive.” Mach said some options include having the frames housed at the high school or at a local museum. Mach said she also hopes to bring some of the strengths of STEM academies to South Whidbey. Particularly, instructional methods that integrate technology and engineering

into science and mathematics instruction, she said. “STEM brings a high rigor experience of learning through sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics,” Mach said. Mach holds a bachelor’s degree in social studies and special education from Pacific Lutheran University and a master’s degree in educational administration from City University of Seattle. Moccia said Mach has “absolutely the right experience for our district.”

gardening in the sun was a great new adventure! She beautified both properties, never stopping over tiredness. It was said, “Mary Lou could make a stick grow!” They turned the cottage into a bed and breakfast rental, and made even more friends with their cheery and sweet ways. Many were repeat customers, and wrote to them for years. Mary Lou decorated the houses for every Hallmark holiday, and was the queen of greeting cards. People felt thought of, and I’ve saved many of those cards with her long notes. She was loving to each of her immediate and extended family members and babysat her grandsons; each later sought the quality of marriage “grandma and grandpa” had. Painful osteoporosis slowed Mary Lou considerably, and about seven years ago she was limited by Alzheimer’s disease. Clancy

was her caregiver into his late 80s, and this year she moved to a pleasant memory care home. She died in hospice care just three months after Clancy died. Their spirits are released and they are loved forever by their children: Janet Wartinger, Scot Overturf and Christy Hagglund; grandchildren, Donna Granados, Ben Hagglund, Tim Hagglund, Jeff Hagglund and Andrea Overturf; greatgrandchildren, Jonathan Hagglund, Abby Hagglund, Matthew Hagglund, Andrew Hagglund, Lucas Hagglund; and many nieces, nephews and friends.

Obituaries

Marie Louise Overturf

May 21, 1927 – July 2, 2015 “What’s that!” were Mary Lou’s most used words. In good health, her sharp mind could take in a lot. She advanced past two grades in school and received a full college scholarship. She chose to support her mother by becoming an ace typist at Seattle’s Port of Embarkation and waited for her soldier boyfriend to come back from WWII service.

Clarence “Clancy” Overturf and she were married February 5, 1947. She realized her dream of opening a ballet school. They raised three children: Janet, Scot and Christy in the home they built in Shoreline. Mary Lou guided them to share her love of learning by walking them to the bookmobile stop monthly — several books for each. She amassed a large personal library and loved it late into life. Home improvement ideas, gardening facts and places to visit enthused her with the most action. For the woodsy Shoreline property, she demonstrated rhododendron expertise and made it beautiful. Clancy’s employer offered a good buyout for early retirement, and they “played house” at a cottage above Saratoga Passage and got hooked on Whidbey Island. They had a house built on one-third acre of unobstructed, high bank water view. Now in her 50s, she learned

Central Whidbey has tough road ahead at state

Fun practice techniques boosts team to state By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record

They may not play running back for the Seattle Seahawks, but in each of Central Whidbey Little League’s 9/10 All-Star players is a bit of Marshawn Lynch. The part of him which really, really enjoys Skittles, that is. “Someone will say at practice, ‘What do I need to do to get a bag of Skittles?’ ” said coach Mimi Johnson. “One of the coaches will say, ‘Pitch six strikes in a row.’ ” With incentives like that, it’s not hard to see why Central Whidbey won the District 11 tournament and

Central Whidbey will certainly have a steep task at state. Central Whidbey touts a small roster — 11 girls — and most of the teams they’ll face will have two to three times that number. Central Whidbey also has a small drawing pool for talent, which includes just South Whidbey and Coupeville, while the competition has five to six

She’s constantly saying, ‘What do I need to do to get better?’ ” Using fun exercises like giving out candy at practice or setting up slip’n’slides on their days off has kept the atmosphere playful while also dispersing the level of tension that comes from playing competitive sports. “They know when I expect them to buckle down and be serious,” Johnson said. “At the same time, it’s not unlike one of us to throw something fun in there.”

Your energy levels fluctuate a lot this week. You receive good news about the health of someone close to you, and you may feel like throwing a party to celebrate.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LIBRA, SCORPIO AND SAGITTARIUS.

Week of July 12 to 18, 2015 ARIES

You have the great idea of spending your vacation at home. You’re sure to feel like redesigning the flowerbeds and the landscaping. This will take up your entire vacation.

TAURUS

Don’t forget your list before going to the grocery store, or else you’ll have to go back for it. You initiate lots of conversations. Some people are very stubborn with you.

GEMINI

You calculate and recalculate your vacation budget. However, as some details are always forgotten, be prepared to spend a bit extra rather than having to sacrifice some activities.

CANCER

Your sense of initiative is remarkable. You create opportunities and exploit them to their full potential, both at work and elsewhere. You’re overflowing with energy.

LEO

You prepare your budget before going on vacation and tend to agonize over the cost of living. Where emotions are concerned, love always comes knocking when you least expect it.

VIRGO

Vacation time is here? Nothing’s forcing you to stay home. You could plan a vacation abroad or a long road trip with family or friends in order to get away from it all.

You feel extremely sociable. This is the time to relax a bit where work is concerned. Take longer lunch breaks in order to socialize more with your colleagues or employees.

LIBRA

Your home and finances are often a source of worry, which does nothing to improve your love relationship. You should try to find another topic of conversation to relieve the tension.

You may end up using your vacation to complete personal projects at home and professional ones for work. Don’t forget to get some rest as well.

SCORPIO

The joys of life dominate your week, and there are lots of opportunities to party. You start choosing what you want to read during your next vacation. The choice won’t be easy.

Cleaning is an irksome chore that you put off until later, but you may run out of time. As long as you know how to communicate your brilliant ideas, they pay off big time at work.

SAGITTARIUS

You feel the need to improve your home’s security. For your peace of mind, you might want to take action by having an alarm system and better locks installed.

CAPRICORN

Your impulsiveness may be difficult to manage. At work, you climb the ladder at lightning speed, but it’s only when you’re at the top that you realize the scope of your new responsibilities.

AQUARIUS

Home, family and projects cost a lot at this time of year. Vacation time is approaching and you want to have everything ready so that you can relax without a care In in thePrint world.
