FEMA maps may be wrong, county says

Hospital board to vote on new name By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Whidbey General Hospital commissioners are expected to vote on a new name next week. CEO Geri Forbes announced the change at a meeting in Langley last week, but the decision still needs to be formally approved by the board. The decision is set for a vote at the commissioners’ next regular meeting at 7 a.m. Monday, Feb. 8 in Conference Room A and B at the hospital. “I’m really excited about it,” said Commissioner Grethe Cammermeyer, South Whidbey’s representative on the board. The name will highlight “health” rather than “illness” but also makes clear all the services and clinics that are currently under the Whidbey General umbrella. The organization has eight clinics and various services each with different names. This brings them all together. The proposed name was announced as WhidbeyHealth (one word), though hospital officials have since clarified that WhidbeyHealth isn’t the whole name; it’s the descriptor that will precede individual names all of the organization’s facilities. “In retrospect, we should have made something clearer: when Geri [Forbes] said we are changing our name to WhidbeyHealth, the ‘we’ is our entire family of locations and services, not just the hospital,” wrote hospital spokesman Keith Mack, in an email to The Record. “We are simply unifying everything under one name.” For example, the actual hospital in Coupeville will be WhidbeyHealth Medical Center, and clinics and outpaSEE HOSPITAL, A5

tee this week. Rep. Joan McBride, D-Kirkland, the bill’s sponsor, said the bill wasn’t meant to undermine transparency in local government, but instead help limit what she calls the “one percent” of requests that amount to harassment of taxpayersupported public agencies. “This is a very modest bill and a good, elegant, first step in talking about public records,” McBride said Jan. 28 at

Island County has given the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, the first evidence that the agency erred when it revised flood-risk maps this summer, Hiller West, director of current-use planning and community development, told the county commissioners during a work session Wednesday. The county now wants FEMA to extrapolate from that evidence, which pertains only to two sites on Whidbey, and agree to reexamine its conclusions about the entire county, at its own cost. The alternative — paying an engineering firm to study each of the many county shoreline areas that FEMA recently declared to be flood zones — would be too burdensome and costly, the commissioners worried. West said he would relay the extrapolation request to the FEMA office in Lynnwood, where the decision would be made. He also agreed to invite FEMA to a meeting with the commissioners. That meeting could include Coast & Harbor Engineering, the Edmonds engineering firm the county hired for $43,000 in late 2015 to perform the initial studies. The new maps, which were issued free to any waterfront homeowner who requested one, show the elevation that one would have to build at to avoid flooding during the most violent storm likely to occur within a 100-year period, a so-called 100-year flood. Areas that received “questionable” flood-hazard designations from FEMA include Glendale, Hidden Beach,

Clinton car comes down Businessmen remove area ‘landmark’

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The once-stuck and seemingly permanent hillside car in Clinton is no more. A group of four intrepid businessmen took it upon themselves to remove the car from a private property hillside near Highway 525 and Bob Galbreath Road this week. Spurred by a Record story about

the car’s origin and perceived meaning, Kevin Lungren, Colin Campbell, Fred Lundahl and Shane Thompson towed the car off the hill Wednesday morning. Their reason was simple: people want to see Clinton improved, and they didn’t want to wait for anyone else to help the natural beauty of the area flourish. “Unless the people who live here care for where they live, unless you’re willing to take action yourself,

you can’t ask others,” Campbell said moments prior to overseeing the truck towing the car about 100 feet down to a barbershop and commercial building along the highway.

Records bill fizzles in committee By LAVENDRICK SMITH WNPA, Olympia News Bureau A bill aimed at defanging abusive and profit-minded public records requestors at the state Legislature appears to be dead. House Bill 2576 would have given local agencies the power to limit the time they spend each month responding to public records requests, and allow local agencies to charge a fee for providing public records that are requested for commercial purposes.

Notable

Food donation challenge gets large return Brenda Fox, a Seattle-based delivery driver from Whidbey Island, made a simple request with a large return that will help feed homeless young people in a bind. Fox, who owns Just 4-U Delivery Services, is an ardent supporter of Ryan’s House for Youth. Back in 2011, she donated $500 to the group as it worked to build a shelter, which was a memorable moment as she herself had once utilized services while homeless. The most recent Fox-led philanthropy stemmed from a simple challenge through social media. She called it the Cup of Noodles Challenge and asked people to donate dried ramen noodles for the homeless youth nonprofit. The challenge, like a hearty bowl of ramen, spilled over into the real world as well when she asked some of the flower shops she delivers for to participate.

“It didn’t take long and the donations came in several bags full and a wagon full of cereal too. Mac and cheese, hot chocolate, granola bars, ramen and most teens’ favorite, cup of noodles,” she wrote in a news release. “ ‘The Ellen Show’ is my next goal on behalf of Ryan’s House,” she said. Ryan’s House is in the midst of a capital campaign to purchase a building on Central Whidbey near Coupeville. The nonprofit is trying to buy the former Countryside Inn near the Island Transit headquarters for $525,000 from SaviBank, which has pledged $75,000 toward the purchase. The building would operate as a shelter for minors in need of housing and would include a kitchen and showers, and a designated staff person and volunteers.

Kashkooli will advance to compete in the State Poetry Out Loud competition on March 5 in Tacoma. Competing students chose two poems and memorized them for accuracy and presentation. Kashkooli won after reading “to the notebook kid” by Eve L. Ewing and “The Golden Shovel” by Terrance Hayes. Kashkooli was one of 24 finalists. Thirteen schools competed in the competition. “I’m incredibly excited,” said English teacher and Poetry Out Loud Coordinator Jaryl Cave. “She is a tremendous lifelong learner.

Patrol sgt. steps up to lead county detective team One of South Whidbey’s finest and best known officers has a new badge and a new uniform. Laura Price, a 17-year law enforcement veteran, is the Island County Sheriff’s Office’s new detective sergeant. The position essentially quarterbacks the department’s five-man — and now one woman — team of detectives. They work to solve Whidbey’s most serious cases, everything from homicides and bank robberies to sex crimes and narcotics violations. “There’s some big decisions that are made on a regular basis,” Lt. Evan Tingstad said. “It’s a big deal to even be considered.” Tingstad was Price’s superior at the sheriff’s office’s south precinct in Freeland, where she served as patrol sergeant for the past two years. Known for being easygoing and friendly, she was liaison to the public and media, and was responsible for coordinating and providing leadership to precinct

and was at the helm when the organization bought and moved into its headquarters on Bayview road. She was also one of the founders of the Whidbey Island Farm Animal Assistance Program, a non-profit group for which she currently serves as board president, and was a Hometown Hero in the South Whidbey Record. Aside from those roles and her recent position in Freeland, Price is well known on the South End. She began her career in law enforcement in 1999 when she became a reserve deputy for the sheriff’s office. She is a former Langley Police Department officer and has been a reserve officer for the city since 2003. That’s not changing with her promotion — she’s picking up a shift this weekend. Price is already busy rolling up her sleeves and getting to work at her new job. She’s planning on reopening old cold cases, including the murder of Tamara Mattson who was found dead at Camano Island State Park in 2003, and lightening the

workload of the team by personally handling smaller cases. She’s been working for months to find ways to transition the sheriff’s office to a paperless agency and hopes to streamline other internal processes. The responsibilities that come with the job are great, but this is familiar territory for Price. And, holding to her easy-going personality, she said the hardest part is hanging up the easy green deputy uniform and transitioning back to being a plain-clothes cop. “The toughest decision is trying to decide what to wear in the morning,” she said.

in child abuse and sex crimes for five years before requesting a transfer to the road in Freeland. But when she was asked to come back, this time to lead the team, she couldn’t refuse. There’s important work to be done, she said, and she’s a cop. It’s who she is. “I’m here because I’m supposed to be here,” Price said. Price takes over for Rick Felici, who left the detective sergeant’s position in 2015 to become the sheriff’s office’s chief criminal deputy. It’s a challenging job, he said of Price’s new post, one with a lot of hats. Along with supervising detectives, Price will head up special projects, continue to liaison with the public and media, and manage the sex-offender registry. “Her rank is not necessarily commensurate with her responsibilities,” Felici said. He also commended Price on her other roles in the community, which aren’t work related. They’re not only cool but are reflective of her character, he said.

Langley has a new voting member and a new alternate on its planning advisory board. The city council confirmed Mayor Tim Callison’s appointments of Christy Korrow, the former alternate, and Sieb Juriaans to the board. Juriaans will serve as the alternate. Korrow replaced Dominique Emerson, who had to resign from the board when she was appointed to the city council in mid-January. Emerson will serve until 2017 when she has to run for election.

More often than not, the role is just a title, but can be accompanied with serious duties in the event Mayor Tim Callison is incapacitated or unable to perform the duties of his elected office.

SCHOOLS New backstops installed at SWHS The South Whidbey School District approved the $35,164 replacement of the existing baseball and softball backstops at South Whidbey High School at its regular monthly meeting on Jan. 27. The new backstops will be nearly two feet higher than the previous structures and will include better coverage and integrity, according to meeting documents. The baseball backstop was damaged in windstorms last fall. Its structural elements were reported as being below par. The

baseball backstop will be moved closer to home plate to provide additional space behind the backstop and better protection against foul balls. “We’ll get them done at some point this spring depending if we can bring concrete trucks on the field,” Superintendent Jo Moccia said.

PARKS Survey gauges public on camping The South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District recently sent out a campground development survey to community members. The survey is meant to gauge the public’s thoughts and opinions on a proposed campground to be built on 35 acres of land adjacent to Community Park and behind South Whidbey High School. The survey asks a series of questions including the level of support for proposed amenities, potential usage by the individual and his/her family or friends, potential price ranges for donations and potential annual tax increases for a bond to help cover the

costs for the development of the campground. The current concept for the new property is in development. The district hired consulting firm J.A. Brennan Associates Landscape Architects & Planners to design a campground.

COUNTY Haggen auction postponed The auction of Haggen’s 33 core stores has been postponed until Feb. 11. The auction was scheduled to occur Feb. 5. The auction, which will likely decide the fate of the Haggen store on Highway 20 in Oak Harbor, is now slated to take place at 6 a.m. Pacific time on Feb. 11 at the offices of Haggen’s attorneys in New York City. Haggen sought the delay but gave no reason for it in its federal bankruptcy court filing Tuesday. A hearing on the sales will take place 11 a.m. Pacific time Wednesday, Feb. 17, as originally scheduled. Haggen, based in Bellingham, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last fall and is now selling all its stores.

ing for the endeavor. They spent the past week or so planning. They had asked the permission of the property owner, former Langley mayor Paul Samuelson, and found a way to dispose of the car courtesy of Island Recycling. More than permission and disposal, the car’s removal required some lumberjacking. The car was lodged against an alder estimated to be at least 30 years old. With much of the undercarriage rusted out, rolling it down the hill on four flat tires was impractical. Instead, the men flipped it onto the roof, Campbell said, “like a sled.” “This thing’s been eaten alive,” he said. Years ago, though no one is certain exactly when, a driver attempted a straight, downhill, off-road commute from the restaurant that is now Hong Kong Gardens to the highway. The trip was short lived, however, as the Mazda coupe hit a young alder head on. With the car pulled down from the brush and bramble, the Washington state license plate had car tabs dated October 1990. “That was the way somebody’s night ended sometime,” said Curt Gordon, a nearly lifelong Clinton resident, Port of South Whidbey Commissioner and Clinton Community Council member.

tient services, will have names such as WhidbeyHealth Primary Care or WhidbeyHealth Women’s Care. “WhidbeyHealth will be the ‘umbrella’ name over all of them,” Mack wrote. It has also become clear that the renaming effort began years ago, prior to the arrival of Forbes. It began under former CEO Tom Tomasino. What remains unclear is the cost of the rebranding effort. Chief Financial Advisor Ron Telles was out of town this week and could not be reached for comment, but Accounting Manager Jennifer Reed said the price tag is difficult to calculate as there is no single “rebranding” budget. The cost is spread out among a series of department budgets, such as public relations. Reed is calculating a total at The Record’s request but it was not available as of press time on Friday. She emphasized that the hospital is making every effort to minimize costs, such as using up existing stationery and printed materials with old names and logos. “We’re really being conscientious,” she said. Renaming public agencies can be an expensive endeavor, and a contentious public process. The Seattle Public Library made headlines the past year when they proposed a rebranding — they wanted to change the name to Seattle Public Libraries. According to the Seattle Times, they spent $365,000 to study the change and planned to spend another $570,000 on implementation, which would have totaled $935,000. Reed said the tab at Whidbey General won’t even come close to that estimate. Cammermeyer said she hadn’t heard an estimate yet, but expects that financial details will be among the information presented to the board during next week’s meeting.

Viewpoint Letters Camp Casey a delight Ferries Whidbey needs for Whidbey children to know about By ROBYN MYERS

Mukilteo plan

Of the many beauties I’ve seen in this position over the past seven years at Camp Casey, a child’s wonder and growth is at the top. With the many classes we teach that offer engagement with the outdoors, I am never without joy when a child discovers something unique. The delight on a child’s face when they touch or spy a creature, plant or wildlife is inspiring. I’m pretty proud to offer this opportunity to locals, as well as thousands of others who visit us from the region during my

tenure at Camp Casey. Whidbey has many fascinating natural environments surrounding it, but I believe the most diverse and complex habitat is hidden from view. Our Sea Lab probes the biology of the depths by showcasing local marine life and teaching the importance of conservation. The lab features dozens of aquariums that house fascinating creatures such as sea urchins, sea stars, sea cucumbers, and last year even a pregnant octopus who was taking up residence in a discarded bleach bottle! This discovery became a startling visual observation for students to personally witness the importance of keeping trash out of our waters. The class is taught by local Keith Ludeman, who has been teaching at Camp Casey for 30-plus years. He’s even seen some of his pupils become teachers and return with their students! Keith also teaches a class with a hands-on opportunity to discover how the Sea Lab acquires some of its inhabitants through the Beach Seine class. After the net is pulled ashore, Keith takes out the creatures captured and teaches about each, one by one. Many of the animals collected are transported to the Sea Lab, while others are returned to the water. As Keith has slowed down his walking, he’s trained our new teacher TJ to deliver guided Forest and Meadow Walks that introduce students to the exceptionally diverse habitats nearby. I’ve enjoyed trekking on these with students who find the fun in such nature as slug slime. One only has to walk behind two sixth-grade boys to remember the fun found in nature. The varied landscape of the trail provides the perfect opportunity for the instructor to teach students about the different plants and animals that inhabit the area as it goes through the heritage forest and the prairie land nearby. Some of the plants are endangered species or invasive species, which our local EcoNet assists with identifying. Some schools spend time volunteering with local agencies to eradicate an area of invasive species. As an Oak Harbor High School graduate and former student at Broadview Elementary, I so enjoy welcoming back SEE VIEWPOINT, A7

Editor, Washington State Ferries, the City of Mukilteo, and WSDOT are looking at a “Road Diet” concept for the new road alignment when the new ferry terminal is built in Mukilteo. Basically, the concept being considered is to squeeze the two lanes coming off the ferry into a single lane before passing through the planned and new signalized intersection (where the toll booths are currently located) and continuing through the Highway 525/Fifth Street intersection. Currently, the two lanes exiting the ferry merge into a single lane just past the Fifth Street intersection where the speed limit increases from 25 to 35 mph. Whidbey Island ferry commuters should be very wary of what’s currently being proposed and studied if for no other reason because of the obvious; once you exit the ferry, it’ll take you longer to get through Mukilteo’s waterfront area because of the metering through the two intersections. Ferries and the Depar tment of Transportation have nothing to lose because they only care about unloading the ferry in a timely manner and between the ferry unload area and the first intersection, they can “hold” an entire boatload. Mukilteo likes the idea because the current lane across the Highway 525 bridge will be transformed into a pedestrian

and bike lane. And, Ferries and the Department of Transportation are promising Mukilteo more gaps in ferry traffic so the locals can get onto the Speedway. The reality of this situation is it will also adversely impact the locals’ ability to get to and from the waterfront area and Old Town because it will accelerate the decreasing Level Of Service (a standard set for individual ferry routes) and result in traffic congestion and delay forecast for the Fifth Street intersection. The traffic models being developed to sell the public on the idea were supposed to be presented at public meetings in Mukilteo and Clinton in November but had been delayed until February. Now state ferries wants to show them to the Mukilteo City Council before having the public meetings. I believe it’s reasonable for ferry commuters to have the expectation that with a new $130 million ferry terminal being built in Mukilteo, the commute time shouldn’t be worse than it is today. The Mukilteo City Council will be reviewing

the latest traffic model information presented by the state during its council meeting next month. It’s 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16 at Mukilteo City Hall. KEVIN STOLTZ Mukilteo

Langley Middle School Jazz Band is a must hear Editor, Several hundred people gathered Sunday evening for Trinity Lutheran Church’s “burn the mortgage” celebration. Food, conversation and fun was abundant. Then, an additional highlight captured the crowd. Langley Middle School students, led by their highly energetic and passionate band leader — a first-year teacher — performed. Abundant talent with captivating head-bobbing and finger-snapping beats exceeded expectation for any young jazz band. These kids and their teacher are terrific. The

audience smiled and applauded each jazzy selection. The kids looked like they, too, were having fun. If the opportunity presents itself, go see the talented brilliance of this group of musicians. You won’t be disappointed and you will be energized. Bravo!

WhidbeyHealth may not be the best new name Editor, WhidbeyHealth? Is this a medical clinic? A fitness center? A health club? Perhaps it’s a health formula, or a “toast” to your health on Whidbey? It also sounds a lot like a health insurance company. “Hospital” is not the first thing that comes to mind! “Whidbey General Hospital” definitely identifies the services available. Change the name to “Whidbey Hospital” if you must, but don’t lose sight of the fact this is a hospital. BOB and BETTY NICHOLS Coupeville

she retired in 1985. The Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, was the early foundation of her strong religious faith. As a member of the Coupeville United Methodist church since 1950, she served as a Sunday school teacher and superintendent; president of WSCS (now United Methodist Women), and as a Washington/Idaho delegate to the 1954 General Conference of the Methodist Church in Cleveland, Ohio.

1919-2016 Mary Louise was born to Ernest Clinton Nugent and Pearl Beatrice Maddock Nugent on July 5, 1919, at home near Hartsville, Ind. She was born on the sixth birthday of her older brother, George Franklin; a younger brother, Robert Brock, arrived in 1921. Mary Louise graduated from Union Township High School in 1937. In 1942, she became the first person in her family to graduate from college. Her degree in elementary education was from Butler University in Indianapolis, Ind. During these Depression years, Mary Louise was able to attend college with a scholarship, a loan and working in a private home for her room and board. At a Trianon Sorority party at Butler, she met her future husband, Lawrence Henry Thie (1912-2009). Their 67-year marriage was blessed with three daughters: Carol in Mishawaka, Ind., Bonnie (Randal Cowart) in Seattle; and Krista (Daryl Hoyt) in White Salmon, Wash. They, along with grandchildren Diane, Amy (Nick Miller), Kerala (Andy Eberle) and Avery, and great-grandchildren Keiren and Hailey, treasure memories of a woman who was loving, generous and a

remarkable teacher. After marriage on May 17, 1942, Mary Lou and Larry moved around the United States as he fulfilled his World War II military service. During this time, Mary Lou worked as a clerk, taught school and wired radios on a production line. While raising her family, Mary Lou led by example to teach her daughters lifelong skills in homemaking, education, reading, independence and a love of travel. Mary Lou taught school in Indiana, Washington, Nepal, Korea and Virginia, finishing her career at Oak Harbor Elementary School where she taught from 1968 until

Falcons pull through to beat Lakewood on Senior Night By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record If ever there was a time for South Whidbey senior guard Chase White to come through for the Falcons, it was Senior Night. The Falcons squandered a 20-point lead over Lakewood in the third quarter, while being outscored 18-5 in the fourth quarter. Thanks to stellar play by White, however, South Whidbey was able to hold on for a 58-53 victory on Tuesday night at Erickson Gymnasium. White scored the Falcons’ final five points. The Falcons’ season ended with a 75-62 win over Granite Falls on Thursday night. South Whidbey finished 9-11 overall and 5-9 in the Cascade Conference. The Falcons finished last among four Class 1A teams in the league and will not advance

South Whidbey senior Chase White scored 26 points in his final home game. to the postseason. It was the final home game for seniors White, Donovan Miller, Jared Eckert and

Charlie Patterson. White finished with a game-high 26 points, while Miller contributed 15 points.

Though the end result may not have been pretty, the beginning was a different story.

to play. Miller’s faith in the team didn’t waiver during the heart-pounding finish. “I felt pretty confident,” Miller said. “I definitely thought we were going to win the game. Overall, I felt like we’re a better team. They definitely made a huge run in the fourth quarter. That scared me a bit, but then I kind of overthought everything and realized we’re a way better team.” The seniors highlighted their victories over league foes Archbishop Murphy on Dec. 11 and Cedar Park Christian on Jan. 29 as highlights of the season. Though they won’t advance to the postseason, there were positives to be taken from the season. “At the beginning of the season, we weren’t playing as a team at all,” Eckert said. “I think we molded together as the season went on.”w

White, Miller and sophomore guard Lewis Pope opened the game by drilling several three-point baskets en route to a 34-23 halftime lead. “It was very high energy and focused on the offensive end,” White said. Falcon head coach Mike Washington substituted freshman Kody Newman and junior Cameron Asay midway through the third quarter. The exchange, which took the Falcons’ leading scorer in White out of the game, may have been a factor in the Cougars’ comeback, Washington said. Lakewood was able to close the deficit to 56-53 with 1:30 left in the fourth quarter. Lakewood’s Kaleb Duitsman was efficient in the final stretch with several three-point baskets and free throws. White sealed the game by converting two free throws to go ahead by five points with 14 seconds left

Falcon girls hoops earn postseason berth; host first round of playoffs By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record For everyone but South Whidbey girls basketball senior Morgan Davis, Monday night’s playoff game will be a new experience. The Falcons will host Nooksack Valley at 7 p.m. Monday

night at Erikson Gymnasium in the first round of the 1A District 1 tournament. South Whidbey earned the second seed in the tournament after finishing the regular season 8-10 overall and 6-7 in the Cascade Conference. Nooksack Valley is 12-8 overall and 6-5 in the Northwest Conference. Davis was a freshman the last time the Falcons advanced to the postseason.

Once in a new moon

Special visit from monastery founder marks celebration By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The Chinese New Year at the Northwest Language Academy and Cultural Center next week will be rung in by a special guest. Tahoma One Drop Zen Monastery’s founder, Shodo Harada, will be in town for the celebration. The event is free to anyone wishing to participate, and is 4-6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 8 in Langley. It is the first time since the monastery in Freeland was founded decades ago that Harada Rõshi (Japanese for old teacher or old master) has scheduled his visit to coincide with the Chinese New Year. The holiday is also called a Lunar New Year because it coincides with the first new moon between Jan. 21 and Feb. 20. Jess Leon, one of the Tahoma members and a practitioner of renzai Zen, said the Whidbey Island followers have long sought Harada’s return during the holiday. Having him around for the fifth anniversary of the joint celebration between the monastery and Northwest Language and Cultural Center is special, and may be the result of effective politicking. “I think the lobbying has been going on for 25 years now,” she laughed the week prior to his arrival. “We’re thrilled to have him here for a longer part of time,” Leon added. Her sentiment was echoed by the academy’s founder, Josette Hendrix. “We’re lucky to have Rõshi here during this time,” she said. “We’re really delighted.” The two-hour celebra-

Lunar New Year Tahoma One Drop Zen Monastery and the Northwest Language Academy and Cultural Center are jointly hosting a free Lunar New Year celebration 4-6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 8 at the Langley center, 5023 Langley Road.

It is a far more somber experience than that of Western celebrations with champagne toasts, loud singing and bombs-a-bursting. Leon laughed when asked if it would be similar to Chinese New Year celebrations around the globe with fanciful fireworks displays. “We try to keep the fireworks internal,” she said. “There won’t be any dancing dragons,” Leon laughed, referring to the costumes

worn during some Chinese and Japanese celebrations. “The Rõshi, he was born in

the year of the dragon, so he might be dancing.” There will be chanting from the Zen followers and monks, an offering of incense on a hot coal. In years past, the ceremony included a ringing of a bell for each person in attendance at the new year celebration. It symbolized leaving behind the past year’s sins, and in the Buddhist tradition a bell is rung 108 times to represent the infinite impediments to enlightenment. Putting on such an event fits right in with what Hendrix wants to accomplish

with the center: cultural exchange and cross-cultural understanding. “Our objective for this event and gathering is really to create an opportunity for the community, for all ages and different faiths, beliefs, likes and dislikes, to come together that we all share something very fundamentally, the humanity we all share,” she said. “Diversity is what makes

life more vibrant and able to survive,” she added. Harada will be based on Whidbey for a few weeks. He typically spends most of his year at the main temple in Okayama, Japan, and visits the other monasteries in the United States and Europe. During prior tours of Whidbey Island, he hosted calligraphy workshops but will not be able to do so this time around. Instead, his truly public appearances will be daily dharma — cosmic law and order — talks at 1 p.m. Feb. 17-23 at the Freeland monastery.

BILL CONTINUED FROM A1

the bill’s hearing in front of the House Local Government Committee. The bill received wide support from officials in local government agencies, who say they don’t have the necessary staff to deal with some of the broadest requests from private companies and citizens, and are upset that they can’t recover the costs for providing large volumes

of records. The South Whidbey School District complained last year that it was overburdened by broad and superfluous requests. Officials claimed it was such a big problem that they began identifying requestors in an online document, saying it was meant to help convey the related financial expenses to the board. The policy was later rescinded. Langley has also struggled under the weight of records requests. In 2015 the city allo-

cated additional resources and made internal changes to improve its response to public records requestors, but staying ahead remains a challenge, according to Debbie Mahler, the city’s designated public records officer. She’s frustrated that the bill didn’t gain more traction, but isn’t surprised. “I was pretty sure the Legislature wouldn’t do anything… that they’d chicken out,” Mahler said. “They don’t seem to be able to balance the need for transparency and

stopping abusive requestors. It’s getting pretty old.” Pat Fitzpatrick, deputy city attorney in Kent, said he supported the bill as it created a way for local agencies to recover the costs of providing the broad records requests for profitable use from private entities. “Cities, universally, are in support of the Public Records Act,” Fitzpatrick said. “What we are not in support of is private corporations making profit off the backs of citizens.”

Saturday, February 6, 2016 • The South Whidbey Record

Diana Carlen, a representative of LexisNexis, a software company that provides customers with public records, said most of the company’s clients need the records for information on things such as local government, law enforcement and businesses. She said the bill would’ve forced the company to pass the increased costs on to their customers. “That is not going to stop the problem of overly broad and harassing requests,” Carlen said. The proposal also would

have created a commission to oversee disputes between agencies and requesters, and an account where 20 percent of the amount awarded to a requester in court against an agency would go to supporting the commission. Opponents of the bill, including media members, said the bill weakened the Public Records Act, which was created by a citizen initiative in 1972. Record editor Justin Burnett contributed to this story.

FEMA CONTINUED FROM A1

Possession Beach, Sandy Point and Sunlight Beach, according to a presentation made in September by David Simpson, an engineer with Coast & Harbor, to a group of Realtors. But the new maps also show flood areas on the east side of Whidbey and the west side of Camano — inclusions that West has described as “so counter-intuitive that they suggest there’s a problem” with FEMA’s modeling. The only permissible basis for appeals of FEMA’s determinations is information indicating the determinations are “scientifically or technically incorrect,” FEMA has said. Unless the county wins area-by-area appeals — or FEMA agrees to a county-wide reassessment of its conclusions — the county eventually must adopt floodplain-management measures based on those conclusions in order to remain qualified for the National Flood Insurance Program. A county must be qualified in order for its residents to buy flood insurance from that program. Some federally backed mortgages require federal flood insurance, though flood insurance is also available commercially. The commissioners have emphasized how costly the new maps could prove for property owners who formerly faced no flood risk. Island County this past summer sent postcards to 4,260 residents who it said might be affected by the changed maps. Today, however, only 1,015 island residents appear to be using the federal flood-insurance program.
