Port reviews Langley Marina bids, again Original low bidder re-submits lowest bid By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Picking the company to begin expansion of the Langley Marina is days away after a formal protest in March stalled the Port of South Whidbey from acting. Pacific Pile and Marine of Seattle filed a formal bid protest against Mike Carlson Enterprises of Anacortes. Both bids were close to the port’s estimated expansion cost of $1.6 million for Phase 1. Mike Carlson Enterprises had the apparent low bid, however, and was poised to receive the contract. The bid protest halted the process and Port of South Whidbey commissioners scrapped the bids and started over March 20. Now, almost a month later, the new bids are in. Carlson Enterprises is again the apparent low bidder at $1,590,584.28. Pacific Pile’s bid was $1,684,791.30. Port of South Whidbey commissioners will vote on the bids Tuesday, April 9. “Unless problems are encountered, staff would expect to ask the commission to make notice of award at the upcoming April 9 commission meeting,” said Ed Field, Port of South Whidbey’s operations manager. Three other companies filed bids all higher than $1.7 million. Redside Construction submitted the highest bid at almost $2 million. Razz Construction and Orion Marine Group each proposed the work for $1.77 million. Washington state law requires taxfunded agencies like the port district to accept the lowest qualified bid. Delaying the start of Phase 1 was not expected to prolong the project’s Feb. 15, 2014 completion. Included in the first phase are reconditioning and reconfiguring a 400-foot breakwater, running supporting utilities and adding an 80-foot gangway to join the existing marina. The Port of South Whidbey meeting will be at the South Whidbey Parks & Recreation District office, located at 5745 Maxwelton Road, Langley.
Flowering trees fall, complaints erupt By JIM LARSEN Record editor Removal of flowering trees as part of Langley’s First Street waterline project prompted an explanation and apology from Mayor Fred McCarthy. Krieg Construction of Oak Harbor cut down trees on the west side of First Street, across from the Inn at Langley, Wednesday to continue its work of replacing the old water line. Some people were upset to see the stumps surrounded by downed limbs sprouting a plethora of spring blossoms. The flowering plum tree stumps were quickly removed by Krieg. Kitty Walker, clerk at the nearby In the County women’s clothing store, said she heard one complaint. “One customer was quite concerned about it,” she said. The fallen blossoms lying sadly on the sidewalk seemed to be the main concern. “Why couldn’t they wait until it wasn’t blooming,” Walker said, quoting her customer. Mayor McCarthy said he received email inquires about the issue. In an emailed explanation he wrote, “Many of our citizens believe trees are sacred and therefore to be treated with the utmost reverence and respect … Some people felt personally violated.” However, McCarthy noted the city owns the right-of-way to facili-

New road gouged out for Ledgewood access By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter
Driftwood Way homes marooned by a massive landslide in Ledgewood became accessible by vehicle for the first time in nearly a week late Monday. Island County Public Works road crews began bulldozing an emergency, one-lane gravel road Friday, March 29. The new road is a relief for full-time residents, marking an end of the necessity of slogging up and down a muddy trail to get to their homes. “They’ve been great,” Driftwood Way resident Greg Cosgrove said, referring to public works employees. “We were really cut off for a while,” he said. More than 1,000 feet of bluff collapsed March 27, taking out a large section of Driftwood Way, the only vehicular access to 17 homes in the small waterfront community. No one was hurt but the devastation claimed one home and left four others uninhabitable. Two are on Driftwood Way and two are on Fircrest Avenue, the parallel street that runs along the top of the bluff. The newly constructed, 600-foot road connects the southern end of Fircrest to Forgette Lane, a small side street off Driftwood Way. As of Tuesday morning residents were still without power and Puget Sound Energy officials were unsure when it will be restored. PSE officials on the scene Monday speculated that power won’t be restored to Driftwood Way homes until

The fate of the five homes most affected remains unclear. The only house directly in the path of the landslide is visibly intact, but it was knocked off its foundation and traveled about 150 feet from its original location. The building has been red
tagged, which means it’s too dangerous to enter. “He is in a tough spot,” Bill Oakes, Public Works director, said of the owner. “I feel for him.” The four uninhabitable homes are yellow tagged, which means owners are allowed to enter and remove personal contents but they are
not permitted to stay for long. Additional work on the new road continued throughout the week. At some point, it may also be paved and become the permanent access to the small community.

Her last day is April 9. “I’ve been humbled by the skill level that Challis brings,” McCarthy said. “The department that she headed is very sad to see
her go.” “She has done an excellent job in the city and was responsible for writing grants for significant funds to improve city streets and replace water pipes in the city in addition to being a valued director of Public Works,” McCarthy added in an email. Stringer helped the city secure major grants for infrastructure across the tenure of four mayors. Waterline replacement on First Street and the pending Second Street redesign are funded because of grants she landed. When 100 cubic feet of

At one point, McCarthy told city council and a handful of people in the audience, she hopped into the loader to clear debris at the bottom of the recent slide to prevent a secondary shift. “I thought that was one gutsy lady,” McCarthy said. Stringer accepted a position with the City of Mukilteo Public Works as a surface water technician. She will continue to live on Whidbey Island, which she has called home for 33 years. “I love Langley, and it was a really hard decision for me,” Stringer said. Ed Stringer, her husband, and daughter Grace were present at the meeting. Their youngest daughter was at soccer practice during the brief honor April 1. “Thank you for all that you’ve given to our city,” said City Councilwoman Rene Neff via Skype from Orcas Island.

in Langley has eyes on a lively evening Memorial Day weekend. The tavern on the edge of Langley’s downtown core was approved by city council to have a live band and amplified music from 8 to 11 p.m. Saturday, May 25. After months of working with the city’s planning advisory board on new ordinances to regulate noise, Langley City Council adopted a policy for lounges and restricted live, amplified music to six permitted nights and New Year’s Eve. Mo’s Pub used one of its permits for Saint Patrick’s Day. No complaints were reported to Langley police, who were advised to drive by the bar on Second Street and listen for excessive noise. Owner Maureen Cooke reportedly contacted neighbors ahead of the live music, had doormen/ bouncers and ended the evening early. “I got zero complaints,” said Randy Heston, Langley’s police chief.
The Memorial Day weekend amplified music permit is Mo’s second of six possible permits this year. It was approved unanimously, 4-0, at the April 1 city council meeting. Councilman Doug Allderdice was absent on vacation.
Gage gets new planning term Mayor Fred McCarthy appointed Roger Gage to another term on the city’s planning advisory board. The five-member board looks at issues of zoning within city limits. Recently the board was tasked with creating ordinances for noise and particularly live, amplified music. It was brought to City Hall’s attention when neighbors of Mo’s Pub and Tavern complained about noise at night. “We’re getting lots of talent from both ends of the age spectrum,” McCarthy said. Aaron Simpson, a young mover-and-shaker
in South Whidbey politics, was selected as the PAB alternate. “I can’t think of another person who was as enthusiastic to serve in that role,” said Jeff Arango, Langley’s planning director. “Aaron brings a great deal of enthusiasm and capacity to learn,” added Councilman Jim Sundberg.

Editorial
Technology is for the public Councilwoman Rene Neff’s floating head seen at the last Langley City Council meeting is a reminder that elected officials must have a physical presence to cast a vote. It was a somewhat impressive use of technology by South Whidbey standards. Neff was virtually attending the meeting all the way from Orcas Island via Skype, the computer program that allows users to see and hear each other in real time assuming it’s working. This one-ups the Port of South Whidbey which allows its members to participate in meetings and vote electronically, but the port uses a telephone with the speaker turned on for all to hear. This is a very impressive use of technology available in the ’50s. Credit Neff at least for sending her disembodied head so the audience could not only hear her, but see her facial expressions. Port Commissioner Chris Jerome could have been sipping Canadian nectar for all we know. Neff’s Skype appearance did not come off without a hitch. With her computerized face sitting in its accustomed spot next to Councilman Jim Sundberg, it looked like he could control what she was saying, perhaps by fiddling with the coaxial cable. Not true, but the thought could undermine the public confidence. Also, the audio cut in and out, making it hard for one side to hear the other. On the positive side, Skype allowed the public to hear an honest, heartfelt comment from an elected official. “We haven’t even gotten to the executive session yet, this is taking forever,” Neff was heard to say. To whom, we don’t know. Perhaps a friend standing outside of viewing range. But everyone has thought the same thing and it was refreshing to hear the truth finally spoken, inadvertent as it may have been. The fact is the port and city are using technology for the wrong purpose. The South Whidbey School District does it correctly. It streams its meetings electronically so residents can watch them from home. Ratings may improve if the show was titled, “Night of the Talking School Board Members,” but at least it’s there for this who want it. Technology should bring the public in, not allow elected officials to participate from afar. They must be present to talk eye to eye with their peers and cast their votes live, in front of the people. Make it so, Scotty.

Both the DNR site and Hugh Shipman’s blog are very good: For the DNR, go to http://washington dnr.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/ whidbey-island-coupeville-landslide. For Hugh Shipman’s Gravel Beach Blog, go to http://gravelbeach.blogspot. com. He has recently posted about his visit to the slide. I do wish, though, that some of our scientific pundits and agency staff had the will and presence of mind to use this dramatic event to discuss the crucial role of the long-term cumulative watershed effects caused by those endemic poor management/development practices which are all too common — those that, I’m certain, contributed to the triggering of the slide. To my knowledge, there has been virtually no cogent discussion of that aspect of the disaster. I think that avoid-

ance of that crucial aspect represents a lost opportunity. We need to look behind the proximate causes and work towards addressing the fundamental causes of an unraveling island ecosystem. We need to start solving tomorrow’s problems today. The same could be said for the chronic instability on the Edgecliff slopes, the recent shallow slides along Camano Avenue and the Possession Point episode. Perhaps it is time for some education and outreach while people are still disturbed and curious. ELLIOTT MENASHE Greenbelt Consulting Clinton
NAS Whidbey: Go to Guam To the editor: I have a vacation house near the OLF Coupeville. I understand the noise issues. The Navy does have a proposed alternative for the Whidbey Naval Air Station OLF: Guam. In fact, the Navy wants to relocate the entire station to Guam. Comparing the Whidbey Air Station to the Norfolk Naval Base is not accurate. Norfolk is the largest naval complex in the world, and serves as the command for the Atlantic. There is nothing farther east. Norfolk’s location in the Atlantic is the equivalent to Guam for the Pacific command.

I am sure Rep. Larsen understands that there is no strategic purpose for a naval air station on Whidbey Island. Like forts Worden and Ebey, the Navy thinks the air station should be closer to the threat, where there are no neighbors. By definition, having U.S. civilian neighbors makes no sense for a forward air station. But the economics of a military base makes good economics and politics, which I am sure the Navy understands as well. DAN THOMPSON Coupeville
Dogs don’t belong on chains To the editor: Regarding the injury to the woman who was bitten while dog sitting, this was a clear result of a chained dog. A responsible dog lover would never do this. If you can’t afford a fence, don’t get a dog. The chained pups will also turn out mean. Hopefully, there is a bill pending making it against the law to chain a dog. Clearly it is cruel.

not to spend more money on a solution that won’t work, yet they went ahead and paid $300,000 to some mainland consultants, Tetra, to evaluate the hydrogeology of the rock quarry and finally concluded: Quarry won’t hold the water. No place for WWTP to dump effluent; $7,000,000 wasted. Can you imagine what $7,000,000 would provide to our community if it had been spent to support local businesses, buy food for families unemployed, buy medical help for families uninsured because they are unemployed. Why did Tetra Tech get hired? My opinion: That company will produce a report for whatever the politicians want to hear. In this case, the three FWSD commissioners were in real estate. Get rid of old homes, clear the land, build new mansions in fact, right along the Holmes Harbor waterfront. The assessments would force old people in modest homes to get out. That was the county’s reward to these old people who paid their taxes for decades and decades. Very clever ideas by the former FWSD board and Commissioner Helen Price Johnson. It is good that they ran into reality. Ric DelMonte Freeland

Falcons on fire, Lyons roars for hat trick against Turks By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter Coming off the first losing streak of their season, the Falcons knew beating Sultan was paramount to the season’s success. Perhaps bludgeon is a better word. South Whidbey boys soccer pummeled Sultan, 9-0, just 24 hours after losing to Cedarcrest, 3-1. Three Falcons tallied multiple goals, led by senior Stephen Lyons’ three scores. Righting the South Whidbey ship took a little longer than the Falcons wanted against the Turks, but once it started, it was full steam ahead. “They were playing a really good offside trap in the beginning, and a couple of us broke through,” said Falcon senior Trey Adams. “It was a really good win for the team, a good confidence booster.”

Whidbey Crabs win home doubleheader The Whidbey Crabs kicked off their 2013 home opener with convincing wins over the Mountlake Terrace Money,10-5 and 11-7, on March 30. In the opener, Josiah Seargent was 4-for-4, while Will Simms added two hits to lead the 11-hit, 10-run attack. Connor Antich started on the mound. Josiah Sergeant came on in the fourth inning. After

Sterba was taken to the hospital and released with a mild concussion. In the nightcap, the Crabs took the lead in the first inning 4-0 but fell behind 6-5 in the fifth. In their half of that inning, they battled back with five runs to regain the lead and seal their doubleheader sweep, improving their season record to 3-0. Sergeant pounded the ball with three more hits giving him a deep triple, four doubles and two singles for the day in eight official at bats. Antich had three hits in the leadoff

Lyons scored his first goal on a similar play assisted by Darby Hayes two minutes later. Not relenting, South Whidbey maintained its pressure and possession into halftime. Senior Sam Turpin scored the third goal of the first half on a tapped ball as the Turk goalie stepped out and challenged him. Out of the break, South Whidbey held its form with a quick score by Adams, assisted by Hayes in the 43rd minute. The Falcons pressed the Turks in the midfield.

Once Lyons beat his defenders, he lingered outside the box just far enough to draw the goalie out and boot the ball in. Two minutes later, Lyons scored his third goal for the first hat trick of his career. “I wish we could have had the same performance last night,” Lyons said. Leading Sultan 6-0, South Whidbey switched its players and brought Coupe into the offense. Good plan. The senior scored a pair of goals at forward in the 67th and 73rd minutes.

On the road against the Sultan Turks, the Falcons snagged a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Sultan tied the game in the second and scored the goahead run in the sixth inning in a pitching duel. It was Falcon senior Alex Kubeska’s first game pitching for South Whidbey (0-6 Cascade Conference; 0-6 overall) this season. She returned to strike out nine batters after missing the first couple of weeks with an injury. The Falcons play during the school’s spring break and face island rival Coupeville on Monday, April 8.

A Celebration of Life
Jawbone found on Coupeville beach By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter Two visiting pre-med students discovered a human jawbone on a beach in Coupeville. Coupeville police have launched an investigation, but Marshal Lance Davenport said there is little cause for public concern as the remains appear to be very old, possibly Native American. “The best I can say is there appears to have been no foul play and that they are archeologically based,” Davenport said. The remains were turned over to the Island County Coroner’s Office shortly after their discovery. Officials with the state Department of Archaeology

He will truly be missed. Instead of flowers or gifts, please feel free to make a donation to the Leukemia Foundation.
Many of you know Vern Burt, maybe from the Freeland Cafe, the Whidbey Island Bank, Payless, Linds, Ace Hardware, the post office and all around Freeland. He had a goal of reaching 100 and he almost achieved that, passing away at the age of 99 on Saturday, March 16, 2013, at his home on Holmes Harbor. In his last weeks, he was cared for by his wonderful caregivers, Hospice and family. Almost any time of the day in those last several months, he had visits from family and friends which he loved so much, exchanging stories, laughing and enjoying the view he so enjoyed.
He never really knew a stranger and would take up a conversation with anyone he met, letting them know his advanced age was his favorite topic. He and his wife purchased their land on Whidbey in the 1940s and Vern later built their log home where they spent summers. Upon his wife’s death in 1984 he moved to Whidbey to spend the rest of his years close to the waters he loved. There will be a memorial service at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland on Saturday, April 6, at 4 p.m. We, his family and friends, hope you will attend. We are fortunate to have known and loved him -– we will miss him.

and Historic Preservation confirmed that a specialist would come to Coupeville to examine the remains and determine whether they are Native American in origin. The remains were found March 15, about 200 yards west of the Coupeville Wharf by Emily Johnson, 20, and Alyssa Temte, 21, of St. Paul, Minn. They were visiting friends and decided to take a beach walk when they made the discovery. “We just looked down and saw a jawbone,” Johnson said. Both are pre-med biology majors at Northwestern College who have already taken human anatomy classes. They knew right away it was no animal bone, that it belonged to a person, she said. “It was definitely human,” Johnson said. They quickly called police and a deputy marshal came down to investigate. Port of Coupeville Executive Director Jim Patton followed the officer down to the discovery site for a better look. He said the jawbone appeared “very old” and had just 11 teeth — all of the incisors were missing. “There were no front teeth and all those in the back were very worn down,” he said. Johnson said they found
the jawbone close to the bluff, near a point of erosion, so it’s unclear whether it came from material that had sloughed off the cliff face or simply washed in with the tide. Rick Castellano, executive director of the Island County Historical Society and the museum in Coupeville, confirmed Native Americans once inhabited the area so it’s entirely possible the remains are ancestral. “I wouldn’t be surprised,” he said. Central Whidbey, particularly Penn Cove, is an archeological hot spot. According to Castellano, the area was once home to at least four villages, all located along the cove’s shoreline. Oak Harbor was also home to Native Americans and unexpected discoveries have been a headache for city planners. In 2011, remains found under Pioneer Way stalled a major road project and, to date, has cost the city nearly $4 million. Despite the many known sites that dot the area, Brooks said it was too soon to make any conclusions. She declined to speculate on the origins of the jawbone until after the examination. “We’ll know more by the end of the week,” Brooks said.

the county, Pederson and former commissioner John Dean, who she defeated in the election. In addition, wetland studies were performed and contested by local, state and private experts, and the issue remains a heated debate by the public. Now that a decision has been made, however, the next steps are relatively straight forward, according to Justin Kasting, a special deputy prosecutor with Snohomish County. Specializing in land-use law, Kasting agreed to a request from Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks earlier this year to take over as legal counsel for the planning department and the county for the Emerson case. “It’s a pretty clear conflict of interest for me,” said Banks in a recent interview. The service is being done for free as a courtesy between departments. Concerning the fines, the Emersons have three choices. They can pay the bill, ending the issue outright; they can appeal the order to the county’s hearing examiner; or they can simply not respond. If the order is ignored, one additional step would be required to ratify Pederson’s decision: the board of commissioners would have to vote to file it with the auditor’s office, Kasting confirmed. When asked what her plans were, Emerson said no decision was made but indicated that it’s unlikely she and her husband will cave and end the issue without further argument by paying the $37,000. “We have no wetland and we have damaged nothing so why should we be fined?” Emerson said. Furthermore, she strongly implied that they will not let the 14-day deadline pass without contesting the order. “We didn’t wait two years to do nothing,” she said. Should the Emersons appeal and the hearing examiner were to side with the county, then the issue may eventually end up back with the board, which would open another can of worms to an already highly irregular situation. “That’s where the question gets interesting because Commissioner Emerson is a member of the board,” Kasting said. He declined to weigh in on whether Emerson should recuse herself from the decision making process, and it’s unclear if state law, known as the appearance of fairness doctrine, would prohibit her from legally participating, despite her financial interest in the matter. Even if she recused herself, she may still have an opportunity to vote on the issue. If the remaining board members voted a split decision, RCW 42.36.090 may indicate that she

would have a legal right to come back and break the tie, even is she were to disclose a conflict of interest. Emerson said she didn’t “expect it would be considered appropriate” to be part of the decision-making process but declined to confirm her plans until she had conferred with her attorney. “I’m going to wait and talk with our legal counsel before making any decisions,” she said. Emerson’s fellow commis- Kelly Emerson sioners took soft positions on the issue as well. Neither said they would actively call for her to step away but both suggested that it might be the right course to take. “If it comes to that point, I think everyone would expect that,” Commissioner Jill Johnson said. “The ethics of our elected office is to recuse ourselves when appropriate,” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said. The same potential conflict could arise should the Emersons decide to appeal their denied building permit. Unlike the enforcement order, an appeal would not be heard by the hearing examiner but by the board. Neither commissioner would confirm how they would vote on the issues, saying it’s too early in the process and that it would be premature and speculative to announce a predetermined judgement. Jill Johnson made it clear that she will not give any deferential treatment to her Republican colleague, that she “would do for the Emersons like I would do for any other couple.” She added that her interest is not in how this ends, only that it is resolved soon. “I don’t care what the outcome is, I just want this resolved,” Johnson said. “It’s a cloud hanging over the county and has been for two and a half years.” She said it was “mind-boggling” how long the issue was allowed to “fester” and questioned the delay. Johnson said she’s personally worked to end the issue since taking office, speaking with various county officials, including Pederson,

and pushed for progress. Price Johnson expressed similar sentiments, saying that progress on the Emersons’ case was a long time in coming and that she is anxious to see the issue settled, once and for all. As for the delay, Price Johnson said she has purposely kept her distance from the issue because she’s wanted to give the Emersons “the opportunity to address this as private citizens.” She added that blame for a lack of progress can’t be laid solely at the planning department’s feet. The Emersons could have decided to settle this issue long ago, she said. Now that Pederson has resigned, some of the responsibility of shepherding over the next steps fall to Keith Higman, who was recently appointed interim director of the planning department. Higman said he expects the Emersons to appeal the enforcement order, which may take the issue out of his hands. If it comes back to the commissioners while he’s in charge, Higman said he was unsure exactly how he would proceed, though he made it clear that he would not make any big decisions without board support as he is a temporary leader. “The clock is ticking and we are anxiously awaiting to see how the Emerson’s respond,” he said.

Matt Nichols, CEO of Nichols Brothers, doesn’t actually pilot boats, but he enjoys doing his Captain Kirk imitation at the helm of the M/V Robert Franco, undergoing finishing work in Langley.
Tractor tug nears completion in Langley By JIM LARSEN Record editor Finishing work on Nichols Brothers Boat Builders' latest tugboat should be completed soon at its Langley facility. Workers are doing touchup painting, wiring, electronics and mechanical jobs on the tug, getting it ready for its trip to San Francisco where it will be operated by owner Harley Marine. The "ship assist tractor tug" named the M/V Robert Franco was launched March 14 from Nichols Brothers' yard in Freeland. A sister tug is also being constructed at Nichols Brothers. The M/V Ahbra Franco is scheduled to be finished early this summer. Company CEO Matt Nichols led a tour of the boat Wednesday. Thursday, the boat was expected to be gone all day, gassing up in Everett and conducting sea trials. Workers estimated it could be finished and sent on its way by the end of next week or soon thereafter. Meanwhile, the tug attracts
plenty of attention in Langley from users of the nearby Langley Marina, only a long stone's throw from the Nichols dock. This type of tug is nothing new for the Freeland company. The two in progress are the seventh and eighth in a series, and Nichols said he might sign a contract for another this week. At 100 feet in length and 40-feet wide, the tugs aren't huge, but their "Z-drive" pulling power is tremendous. Power is provided by two diesel engines producing 7,000 horsepower. The tugs are noted for their maneuverability around the huge ships they escort into various harbors. The forward winch, referred to as the "money winch," is wound with a thick polyethylene cable, while the stern winch, using a well-greased metal cable, is used for pulling in rare, emergency-type work, Nichols said. "The forward winch gets all the work," he said. Locally, similar tugs prevent big ship disasters by carefully guiding

The tugs are also equipped with powerful pumps if firefighting is necessary. A flat screen TV was sitting in its
box on the floor Wednesday, ready to be installed in the break room. There are bunks for the crew of eight, but they're seldom needed by the shift workers, Nichols said. Nichols was among the first boatyards to build this type of
Z-drive tug. "They've been so successful the competition wants them, too," he said. That meant it was time to end the tour and get back to work selling boats.

Volunteers will gather rain or shine on Saturday morning, May 4, at South Whidbey High School for a breakfast and directions. A photo is taken of the entire group just before everyone heads out to the various homes all over South Whidbey.
