Freeland fuel plume in check, lab results indicate
The road to success
By NATHAN WHALEN South Whidbey Record
By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Freeland’s water supply appears to be under little immediate threat from a 2005 fuel spill on Main Street, state regulators have announced. Four additional groundwater monitoring wells were dug on select properties between Main Street and Highway 525 in December, and preliminary test results of water samples revealed contamination from petroleum compounds in only one of the four — the well located closest to the spill site. The results indicate the underground “plume” is not moving quickly toward large wells on Scenic Avenue that supply most of Freeland’s water. “It’s good news,” said Diane Escobedo, a project lead with the state Department of Ecology. “To see that we have clean wells, if we step out from the gas station a bit, is really good news.” This was what Freeland Water and Sewer District officials had been hoping to hear since the samples were collected last month. The possibility that the plume was moving through the aquifer toward the district’s primary wells across Highway 525 was unsettling, and several officials expressed relief following the announcement. “It’s very good news,” Commissioner Lou Malzone said. “It was a scary thing.” The district’s wells supply water to about 90 commercial businesses and about 400 residences in the area. Escobedo did warn, SEE WATER, A11
Landslide house burns in late night blaze
Burglars have struck another blow on South Whidbey, this time to a non-profit group. Senior Services of Island County’s South Whidbey Center in Bayview was broken into last week and the thieves got away with several computers, some cash and other miscellaneous items. Organization leaders say Senior Services has been burglarized before, but it’s been some time and the experience has left
A Driftwood Way home abandoned since a massive landslide made national headlines in 2013 burned to the ground Sunday night. The house, a double-wide manufactured home, was red-tagged by Island County following the disaster in Ledgewood last March as unsafe to enter or live. The house had slid toward the shoreline during the landslide and part of it teetered over the edge of a mound. The landslide destroyed a section of Driftwood Way and left firefighters Sunday with several challenges to overcome before they could extinguish the blaze. With a portion of the road gone, the only access to the neighborhood is provided by a small, one-lane-wide road. The road’s narrow width and a hairpin turn made it impossible for large fire engines to maneuver down to the neighborhood. Rather, three smaller brush apparatus responded to the Sunday evening fire, said Chad Michael, deputy chief of Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue. The fire was reported by Ralph Young, who lives in a house atop of the bluff overlooking the manufactured home. He was just getting ready for bed after celebrating the Seahawks victory when he spotted the fire. “It was quite an inferno,” Young said when he reported the blaze. Michael said the fire had engulfed the home by the time firefighters arrived on Driftwood Way, about 10

NAVY EXTENDS PUBLIC SCOPING PERIOD FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE EA-18G GROWLER AIRFIELD OPERATIONS AT NAVAL AIR STATION WHIDBEY ISLAND THE U.S. NAVY HAS EXTENDED THE SCOPING PERIOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (EIS) FOR EA-18G GROWLER AIRFIELD OPERATIONS AT NAS WHIDBEY ISLAND’S AULT FIELD AND OUTLYING LANDING FIELD (OLF) COUPEVILLE, including the proposed introduction of two additional expeditionary Electronic Attack (VAQ) squadrons and the addition of aircraft to the Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS). In response to public and elected official requests, and in order to ensure all surrounding communities have ample opportunity to provide input, the Navy has extended the scoping period until Friday, January 31. The scoping period began September 5, and the original deadline for scoping comments was January 3. The lengthy public scoping period was due to the fact that the scoping meetings were scheduled for December 2013. These dates were chosen to avoid possible cancellation of the meetings during any government shutdown and to avoid conflicting with P-8A Draft Supplemental EIS public meetings and comment period. These meetings were also ongoing in the vicinity of NAS Whidbey Island during the same timeframe. Public input is very important in order for the Navy to fully understand community concerns and relevant issues. Members of the public may submit comments via mail to: EA-18G EIS Project Manager Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic Attn: Code EV21/SS 6506 Hampton Blvd., Norfolk, VA 23508 Comments may also be submitted to the project website: http://www.whidbeyeis.com. All comments must be postmarked or received online no later than January 31, 2014.

Hearts & Hammers seeks homes By LORINDA KAY For The Record

A mechanic works on an Island Transit bus parked in the new 34,700-square-foot maintenance facility that was part of a new $22.4 million project.
IT settles into new facilities By NATHAN WHALEN South Whidbey Record Today’s Island Transit looks a lot different from the entity that formed in 1987 with five buses and 20 employees working out of a former auto shop that had two maintenance bays and one restroom. The publicly-funded transit entity currently has more than 200 vehicles and more than 140 employees who recently moved into a new headquarters facility. The headquarters that was mostly paid for by a federal grant is located on Highway 20, south of Coupeville near the Pacific Rim Institute and Outlying Field. Island Transit Executive Director Martha Rose said she hopes the new campus will serve the agency’s needs for the next 40 to 50 years. Transit officials lamented for years about the state of their old headquarters building; it was small, there was only one restroom for more than 100 employees and a small number of bays made it difficult for staff to keep up with maintenance on a growing fleet of vehicles. Most of the funding for the $22.4 million building came
YOUR BACKSTAGE CREW.

from a $17.9 million federal State of Good Repair grant. The remaining dollars came from Island Transit. The funding paid for the construction of a 15,400-square-foot administration building, a 34,700-square-foot maintenance facility along with a fueling station, car wash bays and generators to power the facility during extended power outages. There are aspects of the new facility that improve conditions for employees. Instead of the single restroom, both large buildings have restrooms and showers to accommodate Island Transit’s workforce. In addition, the administration building has a lunchroom that includes a stove and several refrigerators and microwaves. Rose said Island Transit’s employee association chipped in to buy fitness equipment for the employee gym. She noted that an employee who has diabetes benefited from
using the gym. The Island Transit facility sits on nearly 14 acres of land located just within the confines of Ebey’s Landing National Historic Reserve. Island Transit is using native plants for landscaping, failed trees from a nearby orchard are being used for mulch, and will help with a restoration project on nearby Smith Prairie that will include an interpretive project showing life on the prairie. The 12 maintenance bays provide an upgrade for Island Transit with enough space for staff to maintain and clean the fleet’s vehicles, Rose said. Island Transit administration and operations staff moved into the new building in early June with maintenance moving in about six weeks later. Once the move was complete, the old building was destroyed to make room for a parking lot. The public will be able to view the new headquarters during an open house currently scheduled for May 17.
If there is an iconic “Mom and Pop” of South Whidbey, the Wimberly couple fit the role. Bob and Audrey have lived on South Whidbey for 44 years and owned Saucy’s Pizza in Clinton for 19 years. They always hired high school students at their business, providing jobs and guidance for a host of young workers over the years. Many of those students, some over 30 years old now, stay in contact and still refer to the couple as Mom and Pop. Needing help themselves was something the Wimberly couple never considered. Both over 70 years old with health issues, home repairs were becoming a burden they could not accomplish. Their daughter, Cindy Wimberly, convinced them they needed help and signed them up for the annual Hearts & Hammers workday last year. Hearts & Hammers offers homeowners help with repairs for those physically or financially unable to do the work alone, said Ross Godwin, the group’s president. For the last 20 years, volunteer crews achieved whatever work could be accomplished in a one-day work blitz. Last May, more than 400 volunteers brought help to 36 homes on South Whidbey. All the work and supplies were offered at no cost to the homeowner because of donations of labor and materials from many local businesses as well as the efforts of volunteers. “This is one of the best programs on the Island for ‘neighbors helping neighbors,’ ”
Godwin said. “It was wonderful,” Audrey said of the help provided by Hearts & Hammers. “You couldn’t ask for nicer, more considerate people. They always asked if something was OK before they did it.” “And they were here when they said they would be,” Bob added. A crew of about eight volunteers came last May under the direction of House Captain Marcia Wiley. A rotting beam was replaced over the front porch, new gutters were installed around the house and new tile placed in the bathroom. “They found the bathroom heater was not working well and replaced it,” Audrey said, explaining that more work was done than the couple expected, including a cleanup outside with all the debris hauled away. “Marcia knows what she’s doing,” Audrey said. “I couldn’t believe the amount of things she could do. And the crew really respected her.” Wiley has been a house captain since the first Hearts & Hammers workday in 1994. “Every year I feel like I’ve been given a big gift to go out in the community to help.” Wiley said. “We’re all neighbors showing up to help each other.” H&H is looking for homes for the May 3 workday. The deadline is Jan. 31 to be considered for help this year. To sign up for help or to donate to this cause, go to the web site at www.heartsand hammers.com or call 360-221-6063. For those needing help, Bob’s advice is, “Get her done, don’t delay.”

A motor vehicle accident in Freeland on Saturday has left one man in the hospital and another facing charges of vehicular assault, according to the Washington State Patrol. Langley resident Jeffrey Parker, 51, was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for injuries he sustained in the accident. A hospital official reported his condition Sunday morning as “satisfactory.” A state patrol memo reports the accident occurred at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 18, in the intersection of Main Street and Highway 525. Parker was southbound on the state route on a 2007 KYMCO VENOX250 motorcycle. He was passing through the intersection when he was struck by a 1986 Isuzu pickup driven by Freeland resident Donald Cannon, 54. Cannon was westbound on Main Street at the time and “failed to stop at a controlled intersection,” according
to the state patrol memo. Both vehicles came to rest within the intersection. Cannon, who was not injured, was booked into the Island County Jail on vehicle assault charges. The state patrol suspects he was driving while impaired.

STATE Rep. Hayes wins legislative award The Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs (WACOPS) named Rep. Dave Hayes its 2013 Legislator of the Year for the House Republican Caucus.

Jerome resigns from port commission, takes N.C. job By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Chris Jerome has resigned from his seat on the board. Jerome informed his fellow commissioners of his resignation via webcam during the monthly meeting of the port on Tuesday, Jan. 14. The decision follows his acceptance of a new position with Wake Forest Innovations at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C. The position incorporates his skills as a medical research consultant. His first day on the job was Jan. 9.
His decision to accept the position has regrettably, but happily resulted in him moving to North Carolina, he said. “Which unfortunately means I need to resign from the commission,” he said. “At this point in time I can no longer continue to serve the citizens of Langley.” Jerome was elected to represent District 2 for the Port of South Whidbey in 2010. The port has 90 days from the resignation to appoint a commissioner to fill Jerome’s position through the next regular port election in Nov. 2015. The port will begin seeking rep-
resentation for the Langley area, District 2, this week. Submissions including a letter of interest and statement of qualifications will be accepted by mail to Port of South Whidbey, PO Box 872, Freeland WA 98249, by email to molly@ portofsouthwhidbey.com or by fax to 360-331-5414. Materials can also be accepted in person at the port office located at 1804 Scott Road, Ste. 101 in Freeland. Submissions will be accepted through 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7. District 2 covers west to East Harbor Road, south to Highway 525 including parts of Craw Road and north of Surface Road. Commissioner Curt Gordon

acknowledged the resignation with a “heavy heart.” “I’m happy for you and I think it’s a great opportunity,” Gordon said. Gordon described joining the commission the same year as Jerome; both were charged up for their new positions, he said. “You did a great job,” he said. “It was nice to have a very levelheaded, clear-minded fellow commissioner to serve with.” Commissioner Dennis Gregoire echoed that sentiment, saying Jerome brought a “mellow” viewpoint, in contrast to the other two commissioners, which he will miss.

Editor’s column
Don’t miss out on history, it’s happening now By JUSTIN BURNETT
Years of discussion, planning and financial wrangling paved the way for a big day in Langley this week. On Tuesday, workers began construction of the Second Street renovation project, a $2.2 million plan to replace aging utilities and spruce up what is arguably the city’s busiest street. Indeed, it was a day of historymaking for the Village by the Sea, for this is more than just the start of a road project. Sure, city officials hope the improvements will have long-term ramifications for the economic well-being of Langley, and perhaps they will. But more than that, this marks the first day of a city that will never be the same. The street we know is about to be gone forever, preserved only in newspapers, history books and our memories. Such is history, and the awesome privilege of penning its first draft is one of the coolest parts of working for a newspaper. Someday I’ll have the honor or regaling, or boring, my grandchildren with tales of standing in the wheelhouses of four state ferries while they were under construction at Nichols Brothers Boat Builders in Freeland. I took images and wrote a nauseating number of stories about Oak Harbor’s famed renovation of Pioneer Way. I was there the day officials broke ground, the day Native American remains were unearthed and the day the project was officially complete. The honor was also mine to cover portions of the lengthy approval process and construction of the first phase of the South Whidbey Harbor expansion. These are small claims to fame, but they are mine and now I can add Second Street to the list. And so should you. Chances are, few in Langley will be able to escape the project over the 100 planned days of construction, for surely there will be headaches and inconveniences aplenty. But take the time to walk down to Second Street and see the project for yourself. Snap a few pictures and put them in your scrapbook. If you won’t do it for yourself, then do it for your grandchildren, for you won’t just be watching someone dig a hole — you’ll be watching the first page in the next chapter that is the book of Langley. Don’t miss out on history. Get down there so you can say you were there when the Village by the Sea changed forever.

Letters OLF
Personal should not come before national security Editor, With regard to Carol Byng’s letter earlier this month concerning turning military property into a cemetery, I took it to mean that if we had a cemetery here we might be forced to acknowledge the hundreds of folks who lay down their lives for our freedoms. It has become very clear that some local folks believe that their personal wealth comes before national security. Perhaps a graveyard would raise their conscientiousness? I didn’t take it as for or against military. I took it as a “don’t forget.” CHELLE BRUNKE Freeland
It’s not love it or leave it, it’s love it and fix it Editor, I have been following the “Big Noise Controversy” on Whidbey and was
STAFF
taken aback by the “Get out of Dodge” and the “Love it or leave it” stance taken by a writer in the Jan. 11 issue of The Record. When I was growing up in America I was taught to respect my government and that my government would stand up for the “little guy” when wronged. That the military machine was for defense only. That if you had a problem you could rely on the police to help you. In America today, the military machine is used to defend the business interests of multi-national corporations all over the planet, not to defend the little guy as I was taught. Corporate profits are the new “patriotism.” Frankly, I get upset at the attitude of “Love it or leave it” or “get out of Dodge.” This intimates that a pro-military solution is the only viable solution. The writer is giddy at the prospect of millions of taxpayer dollars being poured into the naval operations on Whidbey. Are these millions going toward protecting the little guy? Are they going to go into feeding poor people? Will they be used to educate our children? We don’t have a noise problem on Whidbey Island, we have a philosophi-

cal divide that needs to be bridged. If you live in a country you love and you can see it needs your help, you don’t “get out of Dodge” and you certainly don’t leave. You fix it, and COER is trying by instigating this suit against the military machine. The conversations and the arguments are an important part of a society and I say love it and fix it.

Disclosure didn’t disclose anything Editor, Like many citizens trying to stop Growler jet flights at the Navy’s outlying field (OLF), I’ve been targeted by those portraying Growler jet noise as the “sound of freedom.” We are accused of having signed “noise disclosures” when our homes were purchased and therefore have no right to complain.

argument to keep the OLF open. Noise victims like me have claimed that we never signed a noise disclosure or a proper one. Real estate “professionals” are now very rightfully worried about reputations and lawsuits. When Windermere Real Estate Coupeville offered to check my personal file in their office for a “noise disclosure” late this past December, I agreed. They found a onepage, four-line document I initialed 10 years ago. This socalled Form 22W said nothing about jets, or the OLF, and only made reference to “airport noise.” I never have found this worthless form in my closing documents. According to the Director of the Island County Planning Department, what I initialed was not even one of the two documents I should have been given. Form 22W has no standing. It is a worthless piece of paper — see “County says real estate agents responsible for noise disclosure,” South Whidbey Record, Jan. 1). When Windermere Coupeville found the worthless “22W” in my file, it was sent, without my permission, to Joseph Mosolino, owner and managing broker of Windermere in Freeland. Mr. Mosolino, without my permission, placed this information from my file on the Whidbey News Times’ website. Clearly, this posting was to discredit those of us who have been critical of jet noise. It stated that I, as president of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, signed a “noise disclosure.” It failed to mention that what I signed was a useless piece of paper — 22W — given to me by a Windermere Real Estate agent. Many of us have been given what could best be described as a ‘non-disclosure.’ So, don’t believe it when you hear that people complaining about jet noise were warned. They weren’t. And don’t assume that all real estate “professionals” will maintain the confidentiality of your private real estate transactions. It just isn’t true. They won’t. MICHAEL MONSON Coupeville

Island. The area between North Saratoga Street and the taxiway connecting runways 7 and 14 has plenty of cleared land to build a touch-and-go strip parallel to the taxiway and the uninhabited shoreline. Take a look on Google Maps. Lots of room. It might not even cost more than it did to build the Great Wall of OLF Coupeville. Residents of the area around the base are obviously used to the jets and I doubt if touch-and-go exercises would even be noticed, what with it being the cherished “sound of freedom” and all. This should be seriously considered. With this solution, the central area of Whidbey Island would not be sonically polluted and a vital part of the Navy’s oper-
at OLF Coupeville, it should be pointed out yet again that when the airstrip was created — due to the necessities of WWII — the aircraft of that era were not the roaring jet monsters of today. The aircraft using the facility have gotten progressively louder to the point that they are unacceptable to any reasonable person living in the area. Please note that by “reasonable” I am excluding the “if you don’t like it go live somewhere else” gung-ho mentality type that has gotten so much space in The Record lately. I think there is an excellent solution for relocating the touch-and-go activities that would make everyone happy. There appears to be a perfect location right on Naval Air Station Whidbey

Flock defense favors Falcon girls By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Playing fast and furious, the South Whidbey girls basketball team won its first Cascade Conference game of the season 44-29 over Granite Falls on Friday night. Missing their only senior, Madi Boyd, the Falcons made up for her absence with a renewed vigor on offense and defense. Falcon junior Abby Hodson collected three steals and scored eight points in the first half as the Falcons went ahead 20-18 at the break. South Whidbey never trailed in the game after sophomore Morgan Davis scored a two-point jump shot on the Falcons’ first possession. Megan Drake, a freshman, gave the Falcons a cushion with a steal and quick layup for a 4-0 run. Granite Falls cut the lead to one point with a three-pointer by Kimmy Martinez and a layup with a free throw by Tiger junior Makenzie McLaughlin. With 1:54 left in the first half, South Whidbey’s lead was cut to 16-15 until freshman Kacie Hanson sank two free throws to stretch the lead to 18-15. The Falcons defense kept the Tigers out of the key, forcing outside shots and long possessions. The more time ticked off the clock, it seemed the Falcons were more likely to steal the ball as they recorded 10 team steals in the first half. Beating Granite Falls gave South

team 80-73 on Friday night in Granite Falls. The Tigers gained momentum out of the halftime break, holding the Falcons to 14 points in the third quarter while gaining a 54-51 lead. South Whidbey tried to close the gap in the fourth quarter, but Granite Falls surged ahead thanks to leading scorers Karl Spencer and Evan West, who each scored 22 points. Falcon senior CJ Sutfin scored a team-high 21 points, followed by junior Parker Collins with 19 points.
Testing their strength and skills against several larger schools, South Whidbey’s wrestling team finished in ninth place at the Willie C. Stewart Invitational on Saturday. Though only two Falcons placed in the top four in any of the weights, three were just shy as the fifth-place finishers at Henry Foss High School. Andy Madsen, a Falcon senior in the 152, outlasted a full field to place fourth. After a first-round bye, Madsen won a technical fall 17-1 against Interlake’s Kevin Richardson. Bellarmine Prep’s Aidan Moore survived a tight match 2-1 against Madsen, bumping the Falcon to the consolation bracket. He moved on by defeating Kent Meridian’s Torrey Luntsford 12-3, but fell in the third-place bout to Grandview’s Brandon Marquez. Pierce Jackson, a junior in the heavyweight division, fought his way through the consolation bracket to fourth place. He won his first match in quick fashion, a pin against Affi Saleavo in 1:10. But Lincoln’s J.J. Saili avenged his teammate by pinning Jackson late in the third round. Jackson recovered in the consolation bracket, pinning Grandview’s Juan Dominguez in 2:29, and Interlake’s Dean Jones in 16 seconds. Jackson again fell to Saili in the third-place bout. Three Falcon seniors rebounded after early losses to claim the pigtail bracket for fifth place. In the 182, Jose Chavez was pinned in the first round by Curtis’ Jonathan Bridgeman. Chavez narrowly defeated Kent Meridian’s David N’Guessa 1-0, then quickly pinned Capital’s Ryan Taylor in 34 seconds for fifth place. After being defeated 12-3 by Lincoln’s Murad Vagabov, Calvin Shimada took down his teammate, freshman Logan Madsen, in 58 seconds. Shimada won the fifth-place match by pinning Curtis’ Hunter Lybbert in 2:48. James Itaya won three straight matches, though only after barely losing in the first round. West Valley’s Cameron Martin defeated Itaya 7-6, but was later eliminated in the consolation bracket, as Itaya worked through the pigtail field. Itaya dropped Lincoln’s Robert Stewart 11-10, pinned Curtis’ Conner Malloy in 4:05 and beat Henry Foss’ Matt Shlenker 15-7.

Turning over a new leaf at Good Cheer
At the galleries Gallery goes Medieval for opening gala
By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record Martin Luther King Jr. Day was celebrated by a day of service for many on South Whidbey. More than 30 people gathered at the Good Cheer Food Bank & Thrift Stores Garden in Bayview to help turn over crops and begin the garden’s sixth growing season. For Garden Manager Camille Green, the turnout was amazing and beyond anything she expected. “The amount we got done is more than anything I could have done on my own,” she said. “It’s a really great way to kick off the season.” This is Green’s first year as garden manager, after spending more than a year as a gardening apprentice at Good Cheer. She said she was excited to embark on her new relationship with the garden and with the community. So far, she was impressed with what both have been able to offer. People helped with everything from turning the 50 garden beds, cleaning tools and organizing the sheds to getting ready for the new season. Langley resident John Ficalora helped turn over crops during the work party. He volunteered in order to help people in the community and spend some time outdoors. The work and meeting new people have helped him, and the garden, turn over a new leaf for the new year, he said. But more than anything, he came out because he wanted to help. “It’s great bouncing energy

It was a similarly beautiful, spring-like day when the community showed up to help. Three members from Clinton’s American Heritage Girls group — Kaitlyn Lambeth, 13, Kyli DeMers, 14 and Rosa Williams, 13 — also attended the event with their families. Troop leader Amber Lambeth saw the posting online and encouraged the girls to attend to further their service hours for the group. They helped spread compost across the beds and found a few surprises hidden within the leaves, including a centipede and a long, rotund worm. “This is a good opportunity to help serve people in need,”

Jaelyn Carlson, 10, Lily Farnhan, 10, and Gina Diamond clear an area for a flower bed at Good Cheer Garden. The three volunteered to help prepare the garden for the season. Amber Lambeth said. With so many different farming partners in the community, Green hopes to diversify from the crops their partners already grow. “We can be more intentional … with what grows well here,” she said. “We try and do a lot in a small space, which is the ultimate goal.” The garden is coming off one of its most successful years in 2013, producing 7,000 pounds of produce — about 2,000 pounds more than a typical season. “We had an unbelievable summer,” Green said. Green said she was grateful for being in a community with so many people who help. “I’m overwhelmed in the best possible way,” she said. One 8-year-old volunteer, Roslyn Donier, ended the day

MUSEO gallery’s eighth special winter exhibition of Medieval begins in Langley this weekend. The work in the gallery this year is inspired by medieval times, from the 5th to 15th centuries. More than 40 Whidbey artists were called to create works reminiscent of the Middle Ages. Each year the gallery features a different theme for viewers to enjoy and dress up for, said Sandra Hart Logan of MUSEO. “It gets pretty wild,” she said. “The town fills up … because it’s an unusual exhibit.” The opening gala will feature performing arts, wine, food and in tune with the theme, mead. Viewers are welcome to dress in their best chain mail, petticoats or other timely outfits for the opening gala from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25 at MUSEO, 215 First St., Langley. The exhibit will run through Feb. 24.

The red-tailed hawk
elegant, noble & mysterious
WHIDBEY BIRDING Frances Wood January’s a good time to watch for that other winter raptor, the one that is smaller and browner than the familiar bald eagle. I’m sure you know its name, but can you identify the red-tailed hawk? Especially when it doesn’t have a red tail? Red-tailed hawks live here year-round, but in fall many more leave their northern breeding territories and look for winter feeding areas. Hundreds of them settle into wide open areas, such as the Skagit Flats, and a fair number are satisfied with Whidbey’s open fields and grassy margins. Right now we have many of these football-shaped, mid-sized raptors sitting on power poles, tree branches along Highway 525 and

A pair of red-tailed hawks sometimes sits in the lone, bare-topped cedar tree close to the highway at Greenbank Farm. There’s another that often settles in a tree across the highway from Whidbey Island Bank in Freeland. According to Robin Clark, who works on wetland restoration with Whidbey Watershed Stewards, those tall poles located in the open area on the eastern side of Cultus Bay Road, a bit north of where French Road intersects, were installed as raptor perches and have already

been claimed by red-tailed hawks. Typically it’s the Cooper’s and sharp-shinned hawks that hunt for the small birds that visit our bird feeders. However, this winter my husband has noticed a red-tail resting in a dead snag outside his home office, above where a suet feeder hangs. One morning the redtailed hawk was hunkered on the ground right under the feeder, wings spread around its head claiming and protecting a recent kill, probably an unsuspecting junco. The bird stayed in position while my husband walked slowly into the office. When hunting for food, these birds adopt a sit-andwait posture. They can pick out a mouse from 100 feet in the air. When prey enters their strike zone, they drop like a bullet and seize their meal with their talons. They’ll eat small to medium sized mammals, birds, snakes and
even large insects. Most of our adult red-tails are deep chocolate brown with a dark head, pale creamy chest with a dark bellyband and a russet red tail. White spots on the birds’ scapulars help with identification when viewing the bird from behind. Males and females look similar. It’s the juvenile birds that might confuse you, since they don’t get their red tail until they obtain sexual maturity at about 4 years of age. Red-tails are found all across the United States and southern Canada. The species is highly variable throughout its range and some authorities recognize up to 16 subspecies. Those subspecies vary in coloring, from completely dark brown — even the tail — to very pale cream with a light reddish tail. This makes the hawk somewhat difficult to identify. I recommend that birders

Unlike adults, juvenile red-tailed hawks don’t have the species’ signature red tail. It doesn’t come in until the bird is about 4 years old. learn to depend on the bird’s size, shape, call and specific identification markings, rather than overall coloring for identification. During breeding season these hawks become very acrobatic. Both the male and female perform spectacular aerial maneuvers accompanied by shrill cries. A few years ago, my husband and I observed such a display while driving along Wilkinson Road near the Comforts’ winery. Two red-tailed hawks circled and called above us. The male appeared to dive-bomb the female from above, and at the last minute the female flipped over and they locked talons. They flopped and spiraled toward the ground, disengaging at the last minute before safely
landing close to each other. When they noticed us, they took flight again. At first we thought the birds engaged in this fierce display were males fighting over breeding territory. Only when I researched this behavior did I learn that it was part of the courtship ritual. Of course the bald eagle remains our most commonly seen and majestic raptor. But keep an eye out for the elegant, noble and more mysterious red-tailed hawk. You’ll be amazed how many are wintering with us here on Whidbey.

them rattled. “We haven’t had a burglary in nearly 10 years,” said Cheryn Weiser, executive director of Senior Services. “It was a little bit of a shock to say the least.” “You feel like you’ve just been violated,” she said. “The trust you have with the community we serve has been shaken a bit.” The break-in occurred

minutes after getting the call. Firefighters accessed the fire from a neighboring house. They had to string fire hose approximately 500 feet down a ravine created by last year’s landslide and up a mound where the abandoned house was resting. A brush apparatus holds 250 gallons of water. While one was used to fight the blaze, the other two were used to ferry water to the site, Michael said.

however, that these are preliminary results and the data must be analyzed in greater detail. The additional information should help determine just how far and fast the contamination is moving, she said. In 2005, Marty Winn, the owner of Whidbey Marine and Auto Supply on Main Street — now closed — reported a gasoline leak from an underground tank. Up to 7,000 gallons was estimated to have spilled. The store owner has worked with Ecology, Department of Health, and Island County since 2005 through Ecology’s Voluntary Cleanup Program to investigate the pollution in order to perform the required cleanup. Interim cleanup work from 2006 to 2012 removed or dissipated some of the fuel, and all tanks at the former service station were removed when the facility closed in 2011, according to Department of Ecology officials. The four new wells were tested along with nine previously drilled wells, all of which were dug to depths of 60 or 100 feet, according to agency documents. A total of seven of the 13 were found
between the hours of 11:30 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15. The thieves are believed to have entered through a back door, using a flat, sharp object to pry it open. From there, the burglars made their way through the building prying open doors to locked offices. They made off with three laptops: a grey Dell Latitude, a newer model Dell with docking station and a 15-inch screen Toshiba. Some cash and a yellow Motorola Walkie
In all, 20 firefighters from Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue, North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, Naval Air Station Whidbey and South Whidbey Fire/EMS assisted in dousing the blaze. The fire was extinguished around 1:50 a.m. Monday morning and a small number of firefighters remained on scene throughout the day extinguishing flare-ups. Michael said a fire investigator combed through the wreckage Tuesday after The Record’s press deadline to determine a cause of the blaze.
to have petroleum contamination above state cleanup standards. The older wells were all located in the nearby vicinity of the old gas station, however, and the new wells — all drilled to a depth of 100 feet — were spread farther out with the hopes they would provide a broader picture of both the progress and direction of the plume. While contamination was found in the closest of the new wells, which is located directly across Main Street from the former store, the other three were all 100 or more yards away and got clean bills of health. Despite the positive results, this isn’t the end of the clean up or monitoring effort, Escobedo said. A meeting with the former gas station’s owner, his consulting firm Farallon Consulting and state regulators will be held in the immediate future to determine what additional remediation will be required. “We’re not done,” Escobedo said. “We still have issues we need to address. This remains a contaminated site.” Information on the cleanup, including the newly available data from the four monitoring wells, is available online at https://fortress. wa.gov/ecy/gsp/Sitepage. aspx?csid=5610

Talkie with a charger was also taken. The information contained on the computers includes non-detailed mailing and membership lists. The level of information that may have been compromised is equivalent to that which is commonly found in a phone book, organization officials said. Senior Services of Island County will be following this announcement with notifications to those whose information was involved.
Calls to the Island County Sheriff’s Office for comment were not returned by press time, but Weiser said the burglary was reported and that an investigation is underway. In the meantime, South Whidbey Center employees are doing their best to make do as replacement computers have not yet arrived. “It’s certainly a disruption in our service,” Weiser said.

has been using her personal computer to conduct business. It’s not the best situation, but the work has to be done, she said. Slinden added that three replacement computers are expected to arrive Wednesday. Burglaries on South Whidbey are on the rise. Between June 1 and Dec. 11 of 2013, there were 87 residential burglary reports on the South End, from Houston Road south. That’s a rise of 27 percent from the 63 reported
burglaries during the same time period in 2012, and an increase of 39 percent from the 53 burglaries that occurred during the same six months in 2011. Weiser was aware of the rash of burglaries and wasn’t too excited about joining the ranks of victims. Weiser is asking anyone with any information about the burglary to call her at 360-331-5703 or contact the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

BE AWARE
In the olden days of real estate, “Let the buyer beware!” was good advice. Today, “Let the buyer BE AWARE” might be a better suggestion. For homebuyers, it is a wise move to learn all the facts about a home before making a purchase. Property owners are required to disclose existing defects in their home, yet asking plenty of questions might uncover potential problems as well. The real estate agent may also be an information resource. Some information which may be helpful includes: 1) age of the home, 2) construction 3) age of the roof, 4) age of appliances, and 5) records showing major repairs to the home over the past three years. Heating/cooling bills for the past several years can also be helpful in budgeting utility cost for the future. Unless buyers are highly trained building contractors themselves, it is wise to employ the services of a reputable, licensed home inspection company. Major structural components including plumbing, electrical and heating and air will be thoroughly inspected. Appliances will be tested and water heaters checked for proper function. Buyers should “be aware” that they have the responsibility to uncover the facts about concerns they may have. With a home inspection, and careful consideration of all the facts presented by the sellers, an informed knowledgeable decision can be made. A pleasant, rewarding home purchase can be the result.
