Parks director throws in the towel Walker cites discord over tax-funded pool programs By SARA HANSEN Staff Reporter
walker
North Whidbey Park and Recreation District Director Bill Walker resigned at the end of the commissioners’ meeting
Thursday. “It’s been an honor and a privilege to work for the taxpayers,” Walker said. Walker submitted his 30-day notice. His last day will be Dec. 21. The news followed a lengthy discussion about balancing the budget. “I’m reporting to a commission as a body that is dysfunctional and too focused on one program,” Walker said.
Walker was referring to the North Whidbey Aquatic Club and Masters programs. During his 18 months as director, Walker said he’s defended the programs. Almost all residents who are not involved with NWAC or Masters do not understand why tax dollars go toward supporting the See resigning, A5
Navy to deliver sewer answer Monday PHoto by Janis Reid/Whidbey News-Times
A contracting crew places more than 1,000 cement blocks along the perimeter of Outlying Field Coupeville, a long-planned security measure to keep out unauthorized vehicles, said Navy representatives.

The blocks are stamped with the words, “Government property, do not trespass.” They are a security measure to ensure unauthorized vehicles do not drive onto the field, according to Tony Popp, community relations director for Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Popp said the Navy has not changed its security posture at OLF and has intended to install the blocks at the outlying field for some time. See security, A14

For months, Sasha Castaneda told a tale that only seemed to raise eyebrows. A tale about spotting an enormous bull elk, sporting a “huge” rack of antlers. An elk so big and so still as she approached along a country road on North Whidbey in June that she was sure it was fake, clearly one of those life-size plastic imitations that people place in their yards. She was convinced of that until she slowed down and got an up close look at the animal standing in a field just off the road. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, this thing is huge,” she said. “When I looked at it, it turned. It looked at me. I kind of freaked out.” Castaneda remembers speeding off on that June morning, around 6 a.m., and heading to work with one wild story to tell. As it turned out, the tale wasn’t so wild after all. See lonely elk, A5

City officials may finally get an answer from the Navy base Monday on whether it will partner with Oak Harbor on a new sewage treatment facility. The answer could affect ratepayers’ bills to the tune of about $6 a month. Capt. Mike Nortier, commanding officer of Whidbey Naval Air Station, will be at City Hall at 10:30 a.m. Monday to deliver the answer in person. The city will host Nortier during a special meeting open to the public, said Mayor Scott Dudley. “I’m assuming what we will hear is the official ‘yay’ or ‘nay,’” he said, “and from what I’ve heard so far, it will most likely be a ‘nay.’” Dudley said Navy officials usually ask Councilwoman Beth

COER jet-noise forum looks at health effects
Nurse: Tell legislators how you feel By JANIS REID Staff reporter
Frustration was apparent Tuesday as more than 100 people gathered to hear health professionals talk about the effects of jet noise on adults and children. After the presentations, a microphone was passed around to allow audience members to comment and ask questions. Occupational Specialist and Registered Nurse Karen Bowman warned of the impact of overexposure to extreme noise levels. According to studies, she said, the brain interprets loud noises as danger, creating a chain reaction of stress hormones, adding that may result in increased anxiety, hypertension and cardiac disease. “We do know there is significant health effects with jet noise, and it’s increased with night time noise exposure,” Bowman said. Washington State University researcher Katherine Karr admits that the best option health-wise was for the source of the jet noise to be removed. However, members of the audience scoffed when Karr suggested that, to mitigate the effects, they simply remove themselves from proximity to the noise or wear protective earplugs. WSU researcher Samantha Serrano said that she was unable to find specific research on the effects of military aircraft noise on children. However, she presented data about the effect of commercial airports on children. Children living near airports have more difficulties with reading, finishing tasks and staying focused, she said. Studies on physical health impacts for children, such as hearing loss, are largely inconclusive, she said, and more research will need to be done in this field. “Please come to the scoping meeting,” said North Whidbey resident Shannon Stone during the comment period. “If we’re not heard, nothing happens. Show up with your information, your anger, your love of your grandchildren. … They need to hear how we live.” Former county commissioner Angie Homola told the group that she was a Navy
wife and advocated for the P-8As because she thinks the diversity in aircraft would decrease the effects of the Prowler and Growler noise. Homola said the community needs to work with the Navy to resolve the issue. “None of the Navy folks want to hurt those folks,” Homola said. “They don’t want to damage them. But we have to ask the difficult questions so we are protected” “You can say to the Navy, ‘How are you possibly going to protect my children playing in a ballfield?’” asked Michael Monson, one of the event’s coordinators, in opening comments. “What is that doing to you? That is what we are here to learn tonight.” The group organizing the event, Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, filed a federal suit against the Navy in July over jet noise at Outlying Field Coupeville, part of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. In its lawsuit, COER demanded an Environmental Impact Statement, or EIS, be conducted by the Navy. Detractors claim that the Navy’s new aircraft, the EA-18G Growler is louder than its predecessor, the EA-6B Prowler, and that the Navy performed far more landing practices at OLF Coupeville than it estimated. The Navy, which suspended operations at OLF until the
end of the year, announced in July its intention to initiate an EIS. Three open houses hosted by the Navy are scheduled as follows: 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3 at Coupeville High School; 4-8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4 at Oak Harbor High School; and 4-8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5 at Anacortes Middle School. Monson announced at the end of the meeting that a Navy liaison who was in the audience had walked out of the meeting “in a huff.” “That’s your Navy,” Monson said. The Navy employee, Jennifer Meyer, is a liaison officer for NAS Whidbey, but attended as a private citizen, said Mike Welding, the base’s public affairs officer. “Jennifer was there as her own person, just to listen and observe.” Meyer had asked for the microphone to ask a question of one of the health professionals, Monson said. Monson asked that Meyer identify herself as a Navy employee. She refused and left. While some other speakers identified themselves by location or profession, no one else was asked by Monson to identify themselves. “I wish she’d had the guts to stay,” Monson later said. A handful of people who spoke labeled Congressman Rick Larsen as “pro-Navy” and unsympathetic to their concerns.

Jutta Wicker speaks to fellow residents at Tuesday’s presentation on the health effects of jet noise in Coupeville. The event was put on the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, who sued the Navy in July over what the group claims is an increase in jet noise. “Jobs, jobs, jobs, that’s all that matters to Rick Larsen,” said Oak Harbor resident Tim Verschuyl. “We have to stand up and make our voices heard.” In response, Larsen’s office issued the following email: “Rep. Larsen has met with community members, elected officials and NAS Whidbey Island leadership on this issue at least 14 separate times to discuss concerns about aircraft noise at NAS Whidbey and the outlying field. “At his encouragement, the base restarted its community leaders meetings to provide
a forum for local community leaders to discuss these kinds of issues and the base started providing a lot more information about operations at the field. “Rep. Larsen is committed to ensuring that NAS Whidbey Island remains one of the preeminent military installations used by our armed forces, while also ensuring that those who live near the base are not negatively impacted by base operations,” Larsen’s office said. Directly responding to Verschuyl’s comment about jobs, Larson’s office said, “the constituent is absolutely
correct that Rep. Larsen is absolutely focused on job creation and investing in the foundation of long-term economic growth in Northwest Washington.” Bowman, who said she worked in politics for years, encouraged attendees to continue contacting their elected representatives at every level with their concerns. “The squeaky wheel gets the oil,” Bowman said. “We need to have more from you. It’s a grassroots effort. Let your legislators know how you feel. You need to either thank them or spank them.”

Commissioners consider hold on Conservation Futures Fund supporters fear change will be made permanent By JANIS REID Staff reporter
The Island County commissioners are considering putting new Conservation Futures acquisitions on hold for one year. The proposal is raising concerns from conservation advocates who fear that the measure, which would reduce the levy and suspend new projects, might become permanent. A public hearing on the ordinance is set for 6:15 p.m. Monday at the Board of County Commissioners Hearing Room. Commissioner Kelly Emerson said Friday that supports the ordinance. Emerson said that she has repeatedly asked for a moratorium on new conservation futures purchases, and that the ordinance is a compromise she and Commission Chairwoman Jill Johnson reached during the budgeting process. During the budget process, Emerson called the program “out of control.”
Johnson said Friday she has received more than 100 emails from concerned citizens accusing her of “attacking” the Conservation Futures program and pleading, “don’t get rid of the program.” Several letters to the editor have appeared in the Whidbey News-Times and South Whidbey Record. Johnson said eliminating conservation futures is not her intention. “Where I’m coming from on this is for one year, let’s levy a tax rate that will be applied to a year’s worth of debt service,” Johnson said. In addition to paying down some of the program’s debt, Johnson said she would like to take the year to examine the program and decide where the county should go with it in the future. “When you’re talking about taxpayer dollars it’s good to stop and say, ‘is it accomplishing what it’s supposed to accomplish?’” Johnson said. “There’s a point at which we have

THE NAVY INVITES YOU TO AN OPEN HOUSE SCOPING MEETING ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE EA-18G GROWLER AIRFIELD OPERATIONS AT NAVAL AIR STATION WHIDBEY ISLAND THE NAVY PUBLISHED A NOTICE OF INTENT (NOI) TO PREPARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (EIS) for EA–18G Growler Airfield Operations at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island, Washington and to announce Public Scoping Meetings in the Federal Register on September 5, 2013. The EIS will evaluate the potential environmental effects associated with ongoing and future EA-18G Growler operations at NAS Whidbey Island’s Ault Field and Outlying Landing Field (OLF) Coupeville. In addition, the EIS will evaluate the proposed introduction of two additional Growler expeditionary squadrons and the addition of aircraft to the training squadron. THE NAVY IS HOLDING THREE OPEN HOUSE SCOPING MEETINGS to provide members of the public with the opportunity to review project-related information, ask questions of Navy representatives, and submit comments on the scope of analysis and content to be addressed in the EIS. Each of the information sessions will be informal and consist of information stations staffed by Navy representatives. Members of the public can arrive at the open house scoping meetings anytime between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., on one of the following dates and locations: Tuesday, December 3, 2013 Coupeville, Washington Coupeville High School Commons Areas 501 South Main Street Coupeville, WA 98239

Thursday, December 5, 2013 Anacortes, Washington Anacortes Middle School Cafeteria 2202 M Avenue Anacortes, WA 98221
The public scoping materials are available for review at http://www.whidbeyeis.com THE NAVY IS REQUESTING AND WELCOMES PUBLIC COMMENTS. The public comment period for the EIS was initiated with the publication in of the NOI in the Federal Register. Comments may be submitted during the expanded 120-day public comment period between September 5, 2013 and January 3, 2014. Written and oral comments may be submitted at the scoping meetings. Written comments may also be submitted online at the project website or mailed to: EA-18G EIS Project Manager Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, Attn: Code EV21/SS 6506 Hampton Blvd., Norfolk, VA 23508 All comments must be postmarked or received online no later than January 3, 2014.
for the conservation futures program, Johnson said. However, she added, some land needs to be left open to developers. “We need to balance that program.” Commissioner Helen Price Johnson has long championed the conservation futures program, but will likely be outvoted. According to state law, the county can borrow
money to purchase “any open space land, farm and agricultural land, and timber land” to control the developmental rights.” “The private owner may retain the right to continue any existing open space use of the land, and to develop any other open space use, but only under conservation futures restrictions defined by the county. The county issues a tax
levy to pay the debt service for the acquired land. The ordinance proposes reducing the levy from the $679,814, collected in 2013, to $439,238 for 2014 that would pay off an entire $327,308 state ecology loan, and apply $111,930 toward a limited tax obligation loan. The levy would also include any additional revenue resulting from new construction.

lonely elk

What she described was the majestic elk that has been living outside Oak Harbor near Strawberry Point for more than a year now. Initially spotted in September of 2012, the creature has appeared to take on a more permanent residence and is the only known elk living on Whidbey Island. “He’s still a guest on our beautiful island,” said Ralph Downes, enforcement officer with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Downes figured the elk would’ve moved on by now and made a return swim across Skagit Bay to the herd on the Skagit County mainland. Calling it “Elk 101,” Downes said it’s not uncommon for a bull in a growing herd to split from the group and take a few cows with him. For some reason, this bull saw greener pastures across the blue saltwater and went for a swim. “That’s an easy swim for an elk,” Downes said. “They are powerful animals and excellent swimmers. Their hair is hollow, which assists them with bouyancy.” What surprises Downes is that the elk didn’t return during the rut season in the fall.
He said he got reports in September from locals of what they thought was the sound of an elk bugling from the island’s eastern shores. Those bugling sounds are an attempt to attract females. Even though he didn’t attract companionship of his own kind, the elk decided to stay put. For now. Downes said that residents are protective of the majestic animal and assigned it a name, “Bruiser.” Not lost among the concerns of local residents is the fear that a hunter might take a shot at the elk. Although there are specific rules for hunting deer on defined dates this time of year on Whidbey Island, no such hunting season exists for elk on the island. “According to recent history, we don’t have elk on Whidbey Island,” Downes said. “We don’t manage it. You don’t create a season to protect it from something if it doesn’t exist.” But now an elk does wander North Whidbey. It is likely that it came from North Cascade herd found along the Skagit River. According to one 2002 report from the Department of Fish and Wildlife, that herd peaked at
1,700 in 1984 yet sharply declined to about 300 by 2002. “There’s always that worry that a bad apple is going to try to take an easy stab,” Downes said. “That being said, there is no legal season for elk hunting on Whidbey Island and it would be unlawful for anyone to harvest it.” Russell Link, a Washington Fish and Wildlife biologist who lives in Clinton, said it’s been more than a century since elk were common on Whidbey Island. Citing passages from Richard White’s book, “Land Use, Environment and Social Change: The Shaping of Island County, Washington,” Link said that elk numbers were already declining with the introduction of the gun to native Indians and white settlers completed the destruction of the animal in the 1850s. Link said he’s never seen an elk on Whidbey Island in his 20 years as a resident. Downes, who also lives on the island, has caught a glimpse. He’s starting to wonder how long it might hang around. “As long as it’s getting the essentials, I don’t think it has any reason to move,” Downes said. “Apparently, it socializes well with the female black-tailed deer. The males move right away when it comes into the area.” Castaneda said her husband saw the elk last month and caught it on video. “Nobody believed me when I saw it,” she said. “Then he saw it. I said, ‘I told you, I’m not going crazy.’”
resigning
nity at every level and that the district should try to keep the costs low as possible for participants. Walker said he decided to resign after the budget workshop meeting Nov. 14. He said his family had also been asking him to leave for six months. Before the resignation, the board was still unable to reach a decision on the budget and will need to meet one more time. Commissioner Chairman Sean Merrill was not present at the meeting. The board must approve a balanced budget for 2014 by Dec. 2. This will be the seventh draft presented to the board. A special meeting is tenatively scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 25 at the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool. The board had directed
staffing reductions. “I’m a volunteer,” McDougall said. One of the drafts showed raising fees for swim school 10 percent. Those program fees were raised 20 percent a year and a half ago. Commissioner Steve Hoffmire said he could not support another increase to swim school since the district increased the fees recently. “You’re going to hurt young families and they just don’t have the money,” Hoffmire said. Commissioner Kirk Huffer said that they could look at cutting the salaries of the director, head coach and pool operator to make the budget work. “We got to put it back where the responsibility comes from,” Huffer said. An NWAC parent Michael Black said he’d rather see fees increased than cut sala-
CONTINUED FROM A1
CONTINUED FROM A1 groups, Walker said. One option Walker drafted for the meeting showed that cutting NWAC and Masters would give the budget a $23,000 surplus, because it accounts for dues and swim meets revenues, coaching salaries, payroll taxes associated with the programs and the available 6,000 hours of lane time used. The draft budget also raised remaining program fees 10 percent, except swim lessons and pool rental fees which were raised within the past 18 months. Other program fees have not been raised since 2006. “I don’t believe you will make this move, nor do I think it was the right thing to do,” Walker stated in a email to the commissioners before the meeting. “This illustration simply gives you an idea of the amount of resources the district allocates to competitive swim-

ming programs.” “Acknowledging how much this program costs the taxpayers is a far cry from advocating change,” Walker said in his email. When the board originally looked at the budget during a workshop meeting on Oct. 25, NWAC and Masters showed a negative $84,043 contribution to the budget. That amount is what it costs Oak Harbor taxpayers after the swim club participants pay their current dues and fees. After reducing benefits to coaches and taking award expenses out of the budget, the negative contribution is around $40,000, Walker said during a telephone interview Friday. During the meeting, Commissioner Allan McDougall said competitive swim programs are important for the commu-
Walker at the budget workshop on Nov. 14 to increase program fees 10 percent across the board, and cut salaries and wages 5 percent to balance the budget. Walker brought back an option to the board with the fee increases, but only a 2.5 percent reduction in salaries and wages. That left the district with a $3,300 deficit. For more direction in where to cut, Walker asked for the board to prioritize programs so he knew how he should proceed further. McDougall said he did not like seeing just a 2.5 percent reduction. “I will not vote for a budget until I see that 5 percent,” McDougall said. McDougall said he doesn’t pretend to know the ins-and-outs of the district and that it is up to Walker to use his knowledge to make

Black said he could afford an increase and believes that some of the other parents can as well. “I don’t want to do it at the expense of people’s salaries,” Black said. At the end of the meeting, the commissioners reacted to Walker’s resignation. “I’m very sorry that somehow, as a commission, we let you down,” said Commissioner Lori Clark. “I’m sorry Bill’s had enough,” McDougall said.” “If I would’ve been him, I would’ve had enough too.” Huffer wished Walker success with future endeavors. n The special meeting to discuss the budget is 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 25 at the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool.

IN OUR OPINION
It’s time to lift the burden of swim clubs off taxpayers The North Whidbey Park and Recreation District Board of Commissioners seems to be floundering in the deep end of the pool. The board has yet to approve a 2014 budget, and now the district’s director, Bill Walker, has submitted his resignation. Walker cites a dysfunctional board that’s too focused on the public pool’s aquatics club and masters programs. Walker wants the board to acknowledge the district’s support of independent select programs using taxpayer funds. In this age of austerity, we question the funding. If the district reduced funding of the athletic programs, there would a surplus, according to Walker. Commissioner Allan McDougall argues the competitive swim programs are important and the costs to its participants should be kept as low as possible. To a point. We live in an age when youths and their parents are expected, and should expect, to cover a good chunk of the costs for their children’s athletic endeavors, particularly outside of school. This is the norm for select baseball and soccer teams, among others. Taxpayers shouldn’t have to pick up the lion’s share of the costs for a select, competitive program. Consider the district’s first proposed budget — NWAC and Masters cost taxpayers $84,043 after fees and dues are paid by the swimmers. By reducing benefits for coaches and taking award expenses out of the most recent budget draft, the cost to taxpayers drops to about $40,000. The figures factor in dues and swim meet revenues, coaching salaries, payroll taxes associated with the programs and more than 6,000 hours of lane time. According to the NWAC website, there are two mandatory fees for swim club members: The annual $65 registration for state and national governing bodies, such as USA Swimming, and a monthly fee based on the level of competitive swimming. The monthly fees range from $48 to $101 per month. Discounts are available for families with multiple swimmers. Meet fees are additional with individual event costs, ranging from $20-$35 per meet. North Whidbey Park and Recreation District needs to begin taking steps toward making these programs self supporting. This is an era of pay to play, and the commissioners need to understand that taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the deficit to keep these programs afloat.

Letters to the editor Ala Spit
Beautiful, but now a liability for the county Editor, Ala Spit is one of my favorite places on Whidbey Island. I went there with my son and we talked about cool places to build forts for his little green army men. It’s a really cool place, no doubt. But like others, I have noticed that the tides have wreaked havoc on the spit, and if a person is not aware of the tidal directions they could find themselves in a bit of trouble. What some people may be unaware of is how fast the water overtakes the land. The land can be dry one moment and covered with water in less than 20 minutes or so. If a person is unaware of whether the tide is coming in or going out, they may find themselves in trouble.
This should be cause for concern. It was interesting to me, however, in the Whidbey-News-Times article, “Danger Rising at Ala Spit Park,” when it stated, “Some years ago, the county removed 800 feet of rock and crushed concrete from a center portion of the spit in order to restore the area to its natural state.” Really? How exactly does one return anything to a natural state? I saw the huge, gas-machined excavators out there moving and shoving sand from one area to another. The fact is, nature adapts, and it’s a bit silly to suppose we can return something to its natural state. I wonder if when they were done, nature took a look and said, “take a look at that, fellows, it’s just like it was before those greedy developers came in and poured cement to build condominiums.” I wonder how much money the county wasted on that project? Regardless, I hope everyone stays safe and that people are aware that Ala Spit has become more of a liability than

Mean girls
WNT editor no better than the name-callers Editor, Concerning your piece about the “Mean Girls,” why did you choose to label them “Tea Party supporters,” especially the anonymous ones? Is there any evidence to support this label? Also, I do not think you calling them “Mean Girls” makes you any nicer than they are. You are acting as juvenile as they are, aren’t you?

Replacement process for empty seats may be legally indefensible guest column
By Jerry cornfield When Everett Democrat Nick Harper abandoned his state Senate seat earlier this month, you might have thought voters would be the ones to pick his replacement. You’d have been right 100 years ago.
Not today. Washington’s original state constitution required that special elections be held to fill vacancies in the House or Senate. A change enacted in 1929 shifted the state to an appointment process and put county councils in charge of finding suitable successors from any political party. Since 1956, when a state lawmaker leaves office, regardless of the reason, their political party retains control of the seat and dictates who sits in it. Voters themselves put this perk of power into Article II, Section 15 of the state Constitution by approving an amendment placed on the ballot by the Democrats and Republicans in the state Legislature. They would need to be the ones to remove it. But lawmakers from the two major parties will probably never give them the chance by offering up a constitutional amendment repealing this provision. Washington today is among a minority of states allowing political parties such a strong hand in the process. Most states, including California, Texas and New
www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com
York, conduct special elections when there is an opening. There’s some thought Washington’s process may no longer be legally defensible. The state’s switch to a Top 2 format for elections – which voters strongly embraced – means the Democratic and Republican parties are no longer assured a berth for their candidates on the general election ballot. Some believe the changeover extends to the appointment process as well, but it’s not been tested in court as of yet. As a result, the person who will be taking Harper’s seat is a question 28 dyed-in-the-wool Democrats will help decide. That’s a teeny-tiny fraction of the 36,981 people who cast ballots in the 2010 election won by Harper. Those two-dozen-plus Democrats are precinct committee officers in the 38th Legislative District, which encompasses Everett, Tulalip and a slice of Marysville. They will meet Tuesday, hear speeches from at least four hopefuls, then nominate their top three choices for a successor. The following morning the Snohomish County Council – which includes four Democrats — will pick one of those three to serve. State Reps. Mike Sells of Everett and John McCoy of Tulalip are competing for the job. So too are Kelly Wright of Marysville and James Trefry of Everett. Sells or McCoy is expected to be chosen for the Senate gig. Then this process will repeat itself to find someone to fill their House seat, possibly by Christmas. So by the time state lawmakers settle in for the 2014 regular session in January, two of the three people representing Everett will be there thanks to a few friends in the Democratic Party, not the thousands of voters in the city. n Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet. com.

Another letter Growler
Not all residents near OLF received noise disclosure Editor, I am responding to the Nov. 14 letter from John Close, which presumes that Outlying Field neighbors all received some form of noise disclosure, and that even if such disclosure was insufficient, exercise of due diligence would have made prospective buyers aware of the potential noise the Growlers produce. Not true on either count. A third of buyers, like us, saw/signed no disclosure document. We first learned of the existence of such documents this year. Another third saw such documents for the first time at settlement after their previous homes were sold and moving vans were on the way. But what if we had received any of the various documents the final third of buyers received? We lived adjacent to a naval air station in another state for 16 years before moving here mid-2007 and never had a problem or complaint. We did ask Whidbey acquaintances what
that big field was we passed one day. They told us it was an air field owned by the Navy and used a few times each month. For the first five years we lived here, that was true. Then our lives changed. The Growlers make sounds when they accelerate like nothing one can imagine; their sound/vibration physically hurts. The house vibrates. You cannot hear what a person sitting next to you is saying, let alone a TV or the ring of a telephone. Our hearing has declined, our blood pressure has risen and headaches are prevalent. The planes often fly from 7 a.m. until well after 1 a.m. for days at a time. When are we supposed to sleep? How are the children who live here supposed to learn? There is no disclosure that is adequate. If we were enemy combatants, the Geneva Conventions would prevent the Navy from flying the Growlers in inhabited areas because prolonged exposure to noise and sleep deprivation are defined as torture. We are good citizens who cherish and contribute to our community. We volunteer for nonprofits both in Coupeville and throughout Whidbey Island. We most certainly are not a fringe element, as Close suggested. We are you. Babette Thompson Coupeville

Matthew B. McCauley
Matthew B. McCauley passed away peacefully in his home in Oak Harbor the last week of October at the age of 59. Matt had battled many ailments as well as the effects of a stroke in 2007.

Leonidas Stell Jordan
Leonidas Stell Jordan, 85, died of colon cancer on Wednesday, Nov. 6, at his home in Coupeville. His death was marked by the same pragmatism, humor and sense of adventure with which he had approached
everything in his life. Leo lived a rich, full, active life. Born on July 17, 1928, in Butte, Mont., Leo was the fourth of nine children born to Stell and Doris Jordan. Always very independent, he left Butte at 13 with a dime in his pocket and headed west. For a short time he held a variety of odd jobs, including a stint as a cow hand on a Montana ranch, before beginning a lifelong career as a merchant seaman. He worked his way from ordinary seaman to become the youngest captain working for American Mail Line, a distinction he held for many years. In 1950, he married Joanne Little. They settled in Edmonds, Wash., and raised four children. The couple relocated to Depoe Bay, Ore., where they lived until her death in 1988. Having retired during his wife’s illness, Leo spent the next several years traveling in his motorhome. In 1993, he married Billie Jean Cubbage (Bartle) and they moved to Coupeville. He loved his waterfront setting and often referred to it as the “perfect anchorage.” Never idle, he worked hard at his retirement. He loved to help people and was always willing to donate his time, money and skills. He was an active volunteer for many years with the
Coupeville Museum and the Coupeville Arts Festival. He also found time to help many friends, neighbors and family members with remodeling or other projects. Leo was a loving husband, father, grandfather, greatgrandfather, uncle, brother and friend. Many were made better by having him in their life. Leo often stated that he wanted to live, not just exist. Those left behind would agree that he did just that. He will be greatly missed. He is survived by his wife, Billie Jean; his daughters Sharon Smith (Tom), Kim Jordan (Ted),Pam Ainsley (Keith); and stepdaughters Carrie Cubbage and Rebecca Noble (Mark). He also survived by numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His son Michael preceded him in death. A celebration of his life will be held 1-5 p.m., Nov. 30, 2013 at Zorba’s Restaurant 32955 Highway 20 in Oak Harbor. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Hospice of the Northwest.

From goat to cheese, a winning recipe Freeland resident’s soft goat cheese lands top honors in national competition By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record
I
n the world of cheese-making Freeland resident Pam Cassidy has staked her claim. Cassidy recently took home a first place award in the American Dairy Goat Association’s 2013 Cheese Competition. Cassidy made a soft cheese called “Pure Bliss Herbed Goat” that won in the “Flavored Soft Cheese Tub/Bulk” category of the amateur division. She has been working on the recipe since she first started cheese-making in 1998, perfecting it three years ago. This was her first time entering in the competition and she was ecstatic when she heard the news. “I was screaming and thought I was having a heart attack,” she said. She’s gotten a lot of good feedback from people who have tried her cheese, but having an objective palate enjoy her cheese took it to a new level, she said. The judging is difficult and in some categories a winner is not chosen. Cassidy explained the cheeses are judged on their own basis, not against the other cheeses. Each cheese must meet a minimum score in order to place. Her cheese was a soft, fresh goat cheese with a “magic blend” of herbs including basil, oregano and garlic. “It’s one thing to think I’m a good cook,” she said. “But to have outside judges who know nothing but what’s in front of them say I’m first place is really affirming.” When she’s not spending her days making cheese, Cassidy works as a medical technologist at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett. She finds the work akin to cheese-making, which is one thing she likes about her hobby. “I enjoy the science and chemistry,” she said. “I like the precision.” Cheese making is as much about science as it is about taste. She said the hobby combines the work she does in her other life in microbiology with artistic precision. “There’s nothing better than the cheese and wine at the end,” she said. For Cassidy, the key for great cheese is in the bacteria. One of the reasons her recipe took more

Hers include a combination of four organisms which are from the goat. Good cheese-making is about content, more than quantity, she said. The care of each animal is also important to her. She likes to know what each animal is fed and how they are treated, which is easy when the goats are right outside her window. Her current milking goat, Spice, produces about 1.5 gallons of milk a day. Along with the soft cheese, Cassidy also makes aged and more complex cheeses including a soft cheese, feta, hard wax cheese, brie, parmesan and ricotta all from goats milk. Cassidy’s husband, Tom Leahy, finds a lot of enjoyment from her hobby. “I’m the guinea pig,” he said. “Some are always better than others, but none are bad. She’s a great cook. I benefit from that.” The goats and animals bring life to our home, Leahy said. The couple own a two and one-

Cassidy said it was important for them to use only what they need. In addition to the goats, they raise their own chickens and vegetables. But don’t expect this to grow into a business as Cassidy is just fine keeping cheese-making as a
hobby. “I’m not ever going commercial,” she said. “It’s enjoyable now. I don’t want it to become a chore.” Looking to the future, Cassidy wants to hone her skills in a french mold cheese course - one of the more difficult methods. “I’ve done all I can do self-
taught,” she said. Next year she hopes to ramp it up. She’s shooting for the best in show title and is looking to create a new recipe different from her magic blend with “unusual additives.” “It’s all about the additives,” she said.

In the Cascade Conference, Coupeville’s Makana Stone earned second-team honors in soccer and Breeanna Messner, Hailey Hammer and Amanda Fabrizi were honorable mention volleyball selections. The Oak Harbor football team earned the most honors, led by junior lineman Tyler Adamson, who
was first team on both offense and defense. He was joined on the first team offense by junior running back Dejon Devroe and junior lineman Jackson Constant. Sophomore defensive back Dyllan Harris, senior lineman Rhys Mattila and junior linebackers Michael Laningham and Mark Johnston were named to the first team defensive unit. Harris (wide receiver) and Johnston (lineman) were part of the all-Wesco North second--team offense along with senior running
back Julian Faralan and senior tight end Troy Sturdevant. Senior back Nate Stanford was a second-team defensive choice, and junior quarterback Clay Doughty and senior running back Sheyenne Sams were honorable mention on offense. Cross country first-teamers included junior John Rodeheffer and senior Clayton Richardson among the boys and senior Alexandra Laiblin and junior Jonalynn Horn for the girls.

Junior defender Rebecca Pabona was selected for the second team, and honorable mention went to defenders junior Nalani Gabbert and sophomore Alyssa Cross. In volleyball and swimming, allleague selections were not made by division but among all 10 Wesco 3A
schools. Sophomore Marissa Morris earned two first-team spots in swimming, the 200 and 500 freestyles, while junior Mollie Briddell was first team in the 100 backstroke. In volleyball, senior Kayleigh Harper was a first-team middle blocker, while sophomore outside hitter Claire Anderson and senior defensive specialist Deanna Ruben received honorable mention.
New coaches take over wrestling, girls hoop programs Esvelt shares passion for sport
By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Pay it forward. Peter Esvelt takes over the Oak Harbor High School wrestling program this winter from Mike Crebbin, who resigned after eight years at the helm. Esvelt said, “The values that it (wrestling) instilled in me were a reflection of the sport and the coaches I had in the sport, and I love the chance to do that for other athletes.” Esvelt will follow Crebbin’s lead and emphasize the core values of competition, loyalty, integrity and leadership. “That is what we expect from ourselves and all of our athletes, on and off the
mat. We have found that if we have those words at the back of everything we do, it covers every situation we run into as coaches and as a team,” Esvelt said. He added, “You will hear us say ‘Cor Aut Mors,’ which means heart or death, and it is a reminder of this commitment we agree on as a team.” Esvelt began his coaching career at Boise’s Capital High School, helping with football while he was doing his student teaching. He then coached middle school and high school wrestling in Nampa, Idaho, in 2003, then did the same in Oak Harbor since 2005. Crebbin, obviously, influenced Esvelt. “I saw how he
went about team building, which is so much more than just wrestling,” Esvelt said. Esvelt’s high school coaches at Snohomish, Bob Walters and Mark Perry, were also “huge influences.” “I think my tougher side is a reflection of Perry, and my ability to joke with kids is something I learned from Walters,” Esvelt said. On the mat, Crebbin’s touch will also be present: “I love the program that Mike built over the last eight years. The technique and style of wrestling he put in is great, and a lot of it shouldn’t and won’t change.” He pointed to the team’s top-10 finish at 3A state last See esvelt, A13
Atkins builds for success
By JIM WALLER Sports editor
Five building blocks will be the foundation of new Oak Harbor High School girls basketball coach Jon Atkins’ program, and he hopes those tenets will lift the Wildcats back onto a winning track. The blocks – championship commitment, family, academics, metal toughness and basketball skills – are “important in developing a successful program,” Atkins said. “I hope the lessons they learn though basketball will stay with them for the rest of their lives and make them better citizens and learn a bit about basketball along the way.” The Wildcats struggled to win games the past few seasons and Atkins wants to the opportunity “to build the program back up.” He noted Oak Harbor had some “great years” and “state tournament runs” under the direction of coaches Dwight Lundstrom and Brett McLeod. Trisha Wieber, who coached the past two seasons, was starting to get the “program back on track.”
Now he wants to push it to the next level. “There is a lot of room for growth,” he said. Atkins will accomplish this goal “by focusing on training the whole athlete when coaching, adding a strength and conditioning (program) and developing leadership programs and mental toughness training.” He added that success isn’t simply wins and losses: “A successful season to me would be one that we gave maximum effort in every situation and continued to have championship commitment each and every day.” Atkins began his career as the junior varsity coach at New Life Christian School in 2002. After two years, he joined the Army. At the end of his service commitment, he went to Washington State University and did an internship in its strength and conditioning program, working primarily with the men’s and women’s basketball teams.

In 2010 he started individual training for the North Sound Elite AAU basketball team and became the NSE varsity coach in 2011. Atkins attended Oak Harbor High School as a junior and graduated from California’s Sutter Union High School.
His basketball philosophies have been shaped by legendary coaches Jerry Tarkanian, Paul Westhead and John Wooden. He added that Jay Turner (Oak Harbor High School football and track coach) and Washington taught him how to handle high school athletes, parents and practices. Atkins said his teams are going to play uptemp: “Fast basketball is fun to watch and fun to play. When basketball is fun, the girls are more likely to buy into the program.” Atkins will be assisted by Eric Collins, who will move from the C team to the junior varsity. Kate Aplington will take over the C team, and Jasmine Walker, Brittany Suzanne, Cory King and Heidi McNeill will serve as volunteer coaches.

Council prepares priorities list for reps By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter
Oak Harbor leaders want lawmakers in Olympia to support applications for state funding of the city’s new sewage treatment plant. The item topped the list in the City Council’s annual legislative priorities, which will be presented to state Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton and Rep. Dave
Hayes, R-Camano Island. For the first time, the list of 14 items is broken into “highest priorities” and “moderate priorities,” City Administrator Larry Cort said during a council workshop Tuesday. At the top of the list is the request that the legislators support and promote state funding for the estimated $93.5-million plant “to relieve a portion of the burden on local ratepayers.” The other high priority

requests are as follows: n Retention of CAPRON transportation funds, which refunds a portion of gas taxes collected in Island and San Juan counties back to local governments because these counties have fewer state highways. n Reinstatement of the public works trust fund program, which offers low-interest loans to local governments for public-works projects. n Support for state funding of local government efforts to update comprehensive plans by 2016, as mandated by the state. n Support for new laws to limit local government financial burdens caused by unreasonable public records requests.
sewer CONTINUED FROM A1 Munns to attend meeting with city officials in regard to the issue; she is the wife of a former base commander and has been communicating with a top Navy official at the Pentagon, the mayor said. Instead of including just one council member, Dudley said he thought it would be better to open the meeting to all elected officials — as well as the general public. The city currently partners with the Navy for sewage treatment. The city runs the treatment lagoons on Navy property at Crescent Harbor. They are near capacity and will not meet future water quality standards. A draft study created for the Navy states that the city’s engineering firm overestimated the cost of the facility and that a lessexpensive technology would significantly cut costs. Several council members were outraged when Dudley shared the draft study — a

public document under state law — with the Whidbey News-Times. Dudley said he hasn’t seen the completed study. The city originally asked for a decision from the Navy on July 1. Navy leaders later said they would have an answer by Oct. 31. The estimated cost for the treatment plant varies depending on several factors, including inflation. The estimated cost for the entire project, to serve the city until 2030, was $93.5 million in 2011 dollars. The estimate for just the first phase, to serve until 2021, increases to $96.3 million in 2015-2016 dollars, according to a memo from the city engineer to the mayor. The facility plan for the proposed sewage treatment plant estimates what residents’ sewer rates will have to be in 2017 to fund the wastewater treatment plant. For a 30-year debt service at 4.5 percent interest, the engineering firms estimates $83.26 a month if the Navy partners with the city. Without the Navy, the estimate increases to $90.48 a month.
The added security at OLF Coupeville comes in the wake of months of controversy about noise from landing practices at the airfield. A Coupeville-based citizens group filed a federal lawsuit against the Navy in July, asking a judge to com-
pel the Navy to conduct an Environmental Impact Statement or EIS. The group alleges that the Navy’s new EA-18G Growlers are louder than previous aircraft and that the Navy are performing more operations at OLF than they estimated in 2005. Members of the group, including Maryon Attwood and Paula Spina, speculated during a recent meeting that the cement blocks are being installed as added security as a result of their criticism of the jet noise and the Navy’s intention to resume operations in January. When told that the Navy’s position is that this has been a project in the works for some time, Spina replied, “Do you believe that?” Attwood concurred with Spina. Attwood said she believes the timing of the block placement seems suspect. The Navy announced its intention to conduct the EIS shortly after the lawsuit was filed, saying that plans for the study have been in the works for some time. Public comment meetings about the impact of the Growlers and other aircraft on Whidbey is scheduled for Dec. 3-5. The Navy has also closed Maylor Point trail to pedestrians due to the construction and closure of Torpedo Road, according to Mike Welding, NAS Whidbey public affairs officer. Gate No. 5, near the entrance to Maylor Point trail is currently used as a backup to Maui gate for vehicular traffic entry into sea plane base, he said. For safety reasons, he said, the base closed the gate to pedestrians during construction.

WEEK OF NOVEMBER 24 TO 30, 2013
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SAGITTARIUS, CAPRICORN, AND AQUARIUS.
ARIES
You’re always the first person to take charge of all the emergencies that arise. This quality makes you a valued person at work. TAURUS
Love is very important to everyone belonging to your sign. Some friction is possible between you and your life partner, but you’ll soon sort things out. GEMINI
Show some patience with a family member. You can start getting out the Christmas decorations and making your home glitter like never before. CANCER
You have a lot of running around to do, whether it’s for work or for personal reasons. You manage to settle some sort of conflict by speaking out. LEO
If you’re in a precarious financial situation, you should succeed in finding a way out with great panache. You have plenty to say for yourself as well. VIRGO
There are lots of ideas buzzing around in your head. You start several different things without necessarily finishing them. You suggest lots of different activities to your friends. LIBRA
Stress seems to have exhausted your energy reserves. It is important for you to get some rest now and slow down the pace of your life in the future. SCORPIO
You have a pretty busy social life. You might feel like spending some time alone, but there is always someone who burrows into your isolation. SAGITTARIUS
You are in charge of an event that brings together quite a few people. At work you manage to combine business with pleasure, and your enjoyment is felt throughout the office. CAPRICORN
You leave on a last minute vacation even though you hadn’t planned to go away at all. Try to stay concentrated on some type of learning or professional development. AQUARIUS
Your feelings take centre stage in a tense situation; this moment will help you learn to let go and deepen your spiritual awareness and knowledge. PISCES
You’re not always the most patient of beings with your loved ones. It would be wise of you to break up the routine in your relationship and experience some new and exciting adventures together.
