Hospital board to consider property sale

Langley to vet ethics board at workshop today By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

Langley will take another look at its ethics policy implementation Wednesday. The city council, mayor and some members of the original ethics commission plan to specifically address the removal of a standing ethics board. Commission members said they wanted one and encouraged the city to form it. But once it was amended to be part of the city’s governmental structure, such as the Planning Advisory Board, the ethics commission members said that defeated the purpose and told the city to not form one at all. Mayor Fred McCarthy said his recommendation to the city council to strike out the formation of an ethics board was based partly on a misunderstanding and partly because of a difference of opinion. On Monday, however, McCarthy said he planned to go into the 10 a.m. to noon April 9 workshop with an open mind. “There isn’t a simple answer,” he said. “I want to hear what they have to say with a very open mind.” “I just don’t know what the outcome will be,” he later added. “I can operate with an ethics board, or without an ethics board.” A conversation in January — the month when the amendment was proposed — with a representative from the police guild raised several questions for the mayor, he said. There were concerns over confidentiality, the scope and authority of the ethics board and if its members had to pass a background check, he said.

A top priority is finding a new board chairperson after Marilyn Strong resigned. She served the city’s all-volunteer cemetery board for the past seven

A proposal to sell a 4.5acre Bayview property purchased in 2007 for nearly $2 million would likely result in a financial loss for Whidbey General Hospital, a commissioner said Thursday. According to Anne Tarrant, president of the board, the sale of the property is not a foregone conclusion as the commissioners have yet to make a decision, but she acknowledged that if the board does proceed it would be a hit to hospital coffers. Island County property records list the value of the land at $618,000 at the time of the sale — a $1.36 million difference from the purchase price — and at $595,890 in 2013. Tarrant believes a private appraisal will exceed the county’s estimate, but will not be enough to recover the hospital’s initial investment. “I anticipate it [the property] will not sell for $1.9 million,” she said. “But what that number will ultimately be I’m not certain, should we decide to sell.” The board has scheduled a public hearing at 9 a.m. Monday, April 14, to consider selling the undeveloped property in Bayview, which is located across Highway 525 from The Goose Grocery. Purchased in 2007 from Verlane Gabelein, it was slated as the future site of a new South Whidbey hospital clinic, which was to replace the South Whidbey Rural Health Clinic in Clinton. The hospital also bought in 2007 a $380,000 parcel from Goosefoot that abuts

Margie Porter, director of Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse, poses for a photo. She is retiring.

CADA’ s director says adieu ‘She’ s done more in the support of women in this community than anyone else I know.’ — Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner, Oak Harbor police By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Margie Porter sees a side of the Whidbey Island community that is hidden from most residents. As the executive director of Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse, she’s seen thousands of victims of violence come through the doors. She’s helped women, children and a growing number of men and senior citizens; last year alone, the agency provided services to 1,084 clients. She’s worked with women fleeing abusers who are so dangerous that the victims have to be hidden away in other

counties. She’s aided children who have suffered horrific abuse and neglect. She’s been witness to heart-breaking cycles of abuse, but has also seen people piece their lives back together. Porter will soon be passing the baton to a new director, but her mark on the agency she’s headed for a decade is indelible. “This agency is in a good place,” she said, “and it’s a good time to step down and let some fresh blood come in.” The board of directors have offered the director job to SEE CADA, A14

Langley Cemetery Board vacancies vex officials By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

The Langley Cemetery Board is struggling for members.

Langley’s search to fill a vacant seat on the cemetery board seems to have lost all its life. For the past two years, one seat on the seven-member Langley Cemetery Board has gone unfilled. In past city council meetings, City Councilwoman Rene Neff — a cemetery board member for the past eight years — has pleaded

“Everyday Heroes” were honored by the South Whidbey Red Cross on Friday, April 4, at the American Legion Post 141 in Bayview. Individuals and groups were honored by Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson and Islands Executive Director Mike Stamper at the awards dinner for their contributions and commitment to people in the community. Sergeant Mark Plumberg, with the Island County Sheriff’s Office, was honored for his work in high profile cases, including his arrest of a dangerous suspect after a car chase in January. Whidbey CareNet and its founders Petra Martin

and R. Leckey Harrison were recognized for forming the organization two years ago to help provide needed counseling and other wellness services to first responders. Robert Elphick and the 4-HD Video Club youth were celebrated for their work producing the Whidbey Island earthquake video to help people understand and prepare for potential emergencies. Larry and Libby McCauley of Clinton’s Sound Self-Storage were thanked for providing storage to the Red Cross for disaster supplies. Re McClung was recognized for organizing the Toys for Tots program of the local Marine

Corps Detachment. The program provided toys for 2,000 Whidbey children last December and 10,000 over the past four years. Wellington Day School youth and teacher Cormac McCarthy were honored for learning about potential disasters on Whidbey Island and creating emergency packs for their families. Jan Wright on behalf of the Ledgewood Property Owners’ Association and the Whidbey Slide Relief Committee were recognized for their assistance in response to the Ledgewood landslide. After the awards were presented, the Wellington youth offered cards and let-

Record file

This photo shows the damage of the overturned truck from a 1964 edition of the South Whidbey Record.

Courageous truck driver dumps truck on purpose in Clinton “A courageous truck driver, his brakes gone on a loaded lumber truck, careened down the hill at Clinton Thursday and chose to dump his load and his truck rather than risk hurting innocent bystanders. ... “The truck driver, Sylvester Daniels, told Sheriff’s Deputy John Petro he lost his air brakes while going down the Clinton hill between Knaplund Hardware and the ferry landing. He said that when his brakes went out, he hoped to make the turn on to the ferry dock and then, if he couldn’t stop on the dock, he would bail out and let the truck go through the rail and into the water. “I figured I was done for anyway,” he told Petro.”

Married students given permission to finish school from school board “Three married students were given permission to continue their schooling, bids were accepted on the new student lockers and the school calendar for the next school year was adopted when school board members met Monday night in the board room in Langley. “The former Carol Chambers, who recently married Vic Hanson, was given permission by the board to continue in her senior year with the understanding that she will not take part in extracurricular activities and will not participate in the graduation ceremonies. “Jim Gabelein, a senior, and his wife, the former Iris Johnson, a sophomore, were also given permission to continue their high school education, under the same restrictions.”

Buck sworn in was new town father “Langley’s town council met in regular session Tuesday night and the first order of business was to swear in a new councilman, Buck Bucklew, and an old councilman, Joe Hedgcock.”

Tractor accident breaks ribs, hip of Langley resident, undergoes surgery “Jack Wardell of Langley suffered a broken hip and broken ribs when run over by a ditch-digging machine about 7:30 p.m. Saturday. He is now in the Providence Hospital in Everett where he underwent surgery on his hip Tuesday.”

NEWSLINE | WEATHER REPORT: Expect a stretch of partly cloudy and partly sunny days this week.

FIRE/EMS Volunteer policy, Bayview update South Whidbey Fire/ EMS commissioners will hear about the financing options for the proposed Bayview fire station and look at consolidating and refining the district’s volunteer participation policy at Thursday’s meeting. The agenda forecasts a short meeting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday with few items of business. South Whidbey Fire/EMS Chief Rusty Palmer will update the commissioners on financing options to build the new $5.4 million Bayview fire station located on Bayview Road near Bayview School. Awarding bids on surplus vehicles - old trucks - owned by the district is on the agenda. Palmer said the closed bidding

would end at 3 p.m. April 10, just before the start of the commissioners meeting. He did not expect to see a large amount of cash from the surplus sale. “They’re pretty old vehicles,” Palmer said. “A few thousand [dollars], maybe. I’m not anticipating very much. The reason we’re surplussing them is they’re very old.” One vehicle the district hopes to get rid of may have to wait until a future meeting. The fire district is working with the American Red Cross to transfer an old ambulance truck. But because South Whidbey Fire/EMS is a publicly-funded agency, it can’t give away the vehicle as long as it has value. The deal includes a clause to keep the truck on South Whidbey so it can continue to be of service to the taxpayer base. Palmer said he was waiting to hear back from the American Red Cross if it agreed to the deal.

LANGLEY Councilwoman officially resigns Langley City Councilwoman Margot Jerome had a short term in office. She was elected in November 2013, sworn into office in January this year, and will be out of the position and out of the state by June. Jerome officially submitted her resignation, which was “begrudgingly” approved by a 4-0 vote of her fellow council members; she abstained from the vote. Jerome resigned because her husband, former Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Chris Jerome, took a job in North Carolina. The city will post the position for applicants Saturday, April 12 and will keep it open until May 12. After reviewing appli-

cants, the city council will appoint someone to fill out part of her term until the next election. Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy said the city will honor Jerome for her short, but “important” work in economic development and city leadership near the end of her service in May or June. Council members took a brief opportunity to express their regret at losing Jerome, one of the organizers of the Langley forums in late 2013 that spawned the monthly meetings in the city to address economic growth and revitalization hosted by the mayor. “I can say as a neighbor, the neighborhood is really gonna miss you,” said Councilman Jim Sundberg.

COUNTY Four fish, wildlife forums planned Those passionate about the island’s fish and wildlife will have a chance to weigh in on future plans this month. Island County will host four meetings on Whidbey

and Camano islands to allow the public to offer input on the county’s regulations protecting fish and wildlife habitats. Attendees can meet with Island County staff and review work done by the county in an effort to complete a state-mandated update of the county’s critical areas regulations. Among the many topics to be considered in the update are watersheds, sedimentation and the presence of metals, pathogens and contaminants in water sources. Staff will also be looking at wildlife, freshwater and marine habitats, as well as the presence of any invasive species and migration patterns. Residents can learn about the county’s program and its use of state fish and wildlife-related grants. Staff members will offer a brief overview of the update process, answer questions and feedback will be collected in writing. Copies of the revised regulations and policies will also be available. Meetings will be held on North Whidbey at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 15, at Oak Harbor Library;

State issues alert of measles cases The Washington State Department of Health recently issued a warning of a case of measles in Western Washington. A Whatcom County woman traveled to several locations in Seattle and Pierce County. She was at the Kings of Leon concert at KeyArena on March 28 and also at the Best Western Loyal Inn and the Wasabi Bistro. She visited Beth’s Cafe, Aurora Suzuki, Starbucks on First Street and Pine Street and the Pike Place Market, according to the Department of Health news release. The woman’s case was linked to a measles outbreak in British Columbia. Measles is highly contagious and can cause severe illness with rash, fever, cough, eye irritation, and can be fatal and can be contagious before a rash appears. Local doctor Robert Wagner of South Whidbey Pediatrics and the Department of Health encourage children to be vaccinated twice and adults to be vaccinated at least once to reduce the risk of catching the potentially fatal disease.

Dog House Tavern owners withdraw street vacation request City planning director offered a land swap

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

A planned public hearing concerning Langley’s vacation of a sliver of First Street never happened Monday. The original request came from the Dog House Tavern owners, who Community Planning Director Jeff Arango said withdrew their proposal. News of the owners’ retreat from developing the long disused building and a city icon on First Street hit the city council members hard. “It’s just so distressing to have these buildings that people own, who don’t live here, not develop [them],” said Councilwoman Rene Neff. Last year, Dog House Tavern owners Janice and Charlie Kleiner asked the city for assistance with a small strip of city property. They said that it was necessary for them to own it in order to make structural improvements to the building, which would allow them to lease the street-level portion of the building while they converted the top floor into residential living space.

Arango said that the city cess, noting the “complexity” refused to vacate part of the of the property because it street outright because it was is a public shoreline access not in the — one of a city’s best select few in interest, but Langley. that alterna“I think “I think the document the docutives were offered that ment shows shows you, we, were would have you, we, really seeking to help allowed the were really them.” Kleiners to seeking to move forMargot Jerome, help them,” ward. city councilwoman J e r o m e Langley said, refer“This is a very minor ring to the issue in alternative their larger options scheme,” Arango prehe said. sented the Kleiners.

Editorials

Derelict vessel rules a win for Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law last week legislation that further targets the ongoing problem of derelict vessels scattered throughout Washington’s waterways. While the new rules do not provide instant gratification to those seeking justice and accountability for past disasters, such as with Rory Westmoreland, the owner of the crab boat that sank in Penn Cove in 2012 at a cost of $5.4 million to taxpayers, it is another step toward the prevention of future incidents. The second round of legislation, this bill builds on rules adopted in 2013 by prohibiting the sale of unseaworthy vessels of a certain age and size, establishing new insurance requirements, making deconstruction more affordable and creating stable funding for the state’s Derelict Vessel Removal Account. State Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, was instrumental in both years of legislation. She is quick to share the credit, but constituents should ignore her humility. She worked hard on these bills and deserves our thanks. These new rules aren’t perfect and don’t guarantee another large derelict vessel won’t sink in the future, but they will help and are an example of government successfully working to address a serious problem long after it ceases to be the subject of headlines.

Cammermeyer’s honor is well deserved Langley resident Grethe Cammermeyer was recently inducted into the Nursing Hall of Fame. By anyone’s standards, that is no small feat and Cammermeyer is no exception. Her life is a trail of courage and perseverance, and this honor is well deserved. Cammermeyer demonstrated herself as a nurse of the highest caliber over a 30-year career in the U.S. Army, and is continuing her service as a Whidbey General Hospital commissioner. On top of those successes, she has for decades been a white knight for gay rights, fighting against policies such as the military’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” rule. While issues of marriage equality remain controversial to this day, it won’t always be the case. Like the Civil Rights Movement is viewed today, people in the future will look back at such issues and wonder how anyone ever could have thought the way they do, and it will be because of fearless champions of equality such as Cammermeyer. We should all feel lucky that such a woman has chosen to call South Whidbey home. Congratulations Grethe, you deserve it.

Fair plan is too ambitious, better alternatives exist Editor, The fair is a bit short on money. Looks like it needs another $35,000 to $50,000 a year. Let’s see … We could give the fairground property to a new event center organization. We’ll build it with $10 million bonds, guaranteed by the county, using the fairground property as collateral. We’ll keep personnel costs down to $700,000 per year. We’ll tear down most of the structures and build new ones that are unsuited to mundane fair events. But forget the fair — there will be so many other awesome events throughout the year that when it withers away we won’t even notice. We’ll need another $2 million yearly for maintenance, by the way. Hey, I forgot to mention that, even though lots of great events will bring in hundreds of thousands of people and make tons of money, we still won’t have

enough money, so we’ll ask 500 of you to contribute $1,000 to $10,000 per year to the Event Center Foundation. That might suck money away from other charities, but people only have so much money to donate, you know? Of course, eventually the whole thing will fail, since so many details were swept under the rug. Like the lack of ferry capacity and only having a fraction of the parking needed. Hey, was it our fault people weren’t willing to walk? When it fails, I guess the property will go to the bondholders to build cool condos. Maybe I’ll buy one. Or else … We could make the fair RV sites into a year-round RV park. At $30 per night, 50 percent capacity and spending half of that on expenses, we could clear $180,000 a year. Isn’t that three times what the fair needs? What would it cost to get that going? We need a sign. A flyer. A website. A camp host, a bathroom upgrade. $30,000? $40,000? Certainly only a fraction of what the Event Center Foundation would try to raise. Hmm, either a $10 million bond guaranteed by the county, $2.7 mil-

I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any, but we have signs welcoming us to the island, signs welcoming us to our cities, myriad signs telling us which ferry lane to drive in and when and how much it will cost us if we get in too soon or how to rat us out if we try to cheat the line, turn lane signs, gas station signs, restaurant signs, farmers markets signs, company signs, street signs, stop signs. We have herds and herds of little blue signs with house numbers and giant blinking signs telling us there’s a corner ahead (I particularly detest having these ugly things on our beautiful rural roads).

Ferries

Warnings diminish scenic ferry rides Editor, Tourists on Washington State’s ferries will be forgiven for thinking that by boarding the boats they have put themselves in grave danger. How else to interpret the need for multiple large screens playing endless videos showing how to survive various disasters at sea? Regular riders know the boats are safe and simply mourn the loss of their formerly serene oasis as they rode through spectacular

defining our future. Won’t you consider joining us on this great adventure in community building and economic development? Your participation will make a big difference.

Shutout win for South Whidbey boys soccer By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The Falcon boys soccer team’s offense was flying high Friday night in a 2-0 win over the Lakewood Cougars. South Whidbey notched 18 shots on goal against Lakewood to take second place in the Cascade Conference. The Falcons (3-1-0 conference, 5-1-0 overall) only trail the first-place and undefeated Archbishop Murphy Wildcats (4-0-0 conference, 5-0-1 overall). “After the Coupeville loss, we were a little angry. … Now we’re gaining momentum, preparing for Archbishop [Murphy],” said Falcon junior Jeff Meier. Defensively, the Falcons controlled the game and kept Lakewood’s shots mostly outside the 18-yard marker of the goalie box. The Cougars got off eight shots on goal, of which a few were dangerous shots for the Falcons, including a free kick from 18 yards out that hit the right goal post and bounced away in the 63rd minute. South Whidbey countered with a quick press onto Lakewood’s half of the field. Falcon junior Andy Zisette beat his defender down the right sideline and sent the ball into the goalie’s box where Falcon junior Kai da Rosa met it with his foot for the second and final South Whidbey goal of the night. “The passing between

Falcon junior Kai da Rosa watches his shot roll past the reach of Lakewood goalkeeper Rodrigo Garcia on Friday, April 4. The shot crossed in front of the goal and missed. Oliver [Saunsaucie] and me, the one-two, was working really well,” said Zisette, referring to the Falcons’ ability to quickly transition from defense to offense. “We had a lot of injuries. Having Oliver back really helps,” he added. Though South Whidbey won the statistical battle for shots on goal, the Falcons did not score until late in each half. The Falcons’ first goal came after a deflected shot

by da Rosa that rolled past the Cougar goalie for Meier to boot in undefended. “Our striker was doing really good at one and two passes, freeing himself up and attracting defenders, which opened other guys up,” Meier said of da Rosa. The game was a physical bout between South Whidbey, still reeling from its rivalry loss to Coupeville the week prior, and Lakewood. Several players from each team hit the turf with thuds audible from the sidelines, and Falcon senior co-captain Trey Adams was issued a yellow card for a collision with one of Lakewood’s players in

the final few minutes. South Whidbey players said Adams warned them before the match that Lakewood would bump and slide into them, and it was on the Falcons to match them. “That’s their play style; they come wanting to hit and play aggressive,” Zisette said. “We just had to come up and stand up to them and be aggressive back and not get pushed around.” South Whidbey traveled to play Sultan on Tuesday after The Record went to press. The Falcons host the league’s topranked Archbishop Murphy Wildcats at 6 p.m. Friday, April 11.

Coupeville and South Whidbey were deadlocked at 5-5 going into the final inning of Friday’s fastpitch game until the Wolves ran away with a 9-5 victory. “We just kind of fell apart there,” said Falcon head coach Tim Collins. “And they strung some hits together.” Facing Coupeville’s top batter, Falcon freshman Kacie Hanson started off the seventh inning with a strikeout. The following three batters reached first base to load the bases. That set up a two RBI double to left-center field to break the tie and score the goahead runs that ultimately proved to be more than enough to beat the Falcons. In its final frame, South Whidbey had three consecutive outs. “We just have to learn how to win,” Collins said. Hanson recorded six strikeouts against Coupeville, following a 10-strikeout performance against Archbishop Murphy earlier last week. Falcons Chantel Brown, Haley Viers and Anne Madsen each recorded two hits. Both of Madsen’s were doubles. Chloe Huffman knocked a double to the fence as well. South Whidbey hitters were fanned three times and reached base on a walk three times. Coupeville had seven walks. The Falcons are on the road this week against Cedarcrest on Tuesday, after The Record went to press, and at Lakewood on Thursday.

Invitational in Bellingham on Saturday. In the all-classification meet, South Whidbey outperformed larger schools like Marysville Getchell, Cascade (Everett) and Archbishop Murphy. Javelin and relay races were major successes for the Falcon girls. Senior Mackenzie Hezel and junior Abby Hodson placed in the javelin’s top 10. Both the 800-meter relay — Madi Boyd, Maia Sparkman, Bailey Forsyth and Anna Leski — and 1,600-meter relay — Jaime Rodden, Hezel, Boyd and Leski — teams finished in fourth place. On the boys team, senior thrower Nick French won the javelin with a mark of 177 feet, 4 inches. The distance was nearly six feet farther than the secondplace mark by Shorewood (Shoreline) senior Arious Frazier of 171 feet, 7 inches. South Whidbey girls: 200 — 6, Sparkman, 27.92; 400 — 12, Hezel, 1:06.39; 800 — 7, Rodden, 2:25.9, 18, Mallorie Mitchem, 2:34.8; 1,600 — 23, Leah Rostov, 5:57.3; 100-meter hurdles — 9, Forsyth, 17.98; 300-meter hurdles — 9, Allie Vanbenschoten, 51.76; 400-meter relay — 7, Sparkman, Boyd, Forsyth, Tera Applegate, 52.32; 800-meter relay — 4, Boyd, Sparkman, Forsyth, Leski, 1:49.36; 1,600-meter relay — Boyd, Rodden, Hezel, Leski, 4:22.57; shot put — 29, Morgan Davis, 22-1; discus — 29, Samantha Arrants, 64-7; javelin — 2, Hezel, 111-2, 8, Hodson, 96-5; long jump — 10, Sparkman, 15-00.5.

Cedarcrest 10-runs Falcon baseball Cedarcrest won a decisive third and final game over the South Whidbey baseball team Friday, ending the game early with a 10-0 victory. The game was called after the top of the fifth inning because of the 10-run mercy rule. It was both the first time South Whidbey lost a game to the mercy rule and the first time the Falcons failed to score a run this season. Cedarcrest pitcher Adam Davenport recorded six strikeouts in the victory. The Red Wolves’ top slugger, Colton Sandhofer, hit a double in a 3-for-3 day at the plate. The victory kept Cedarcrest (6-2 Cascade Conference, 6-2 overall) firmly in second place behind Archbishop Murphy in league standings. South Whidbey (3-5 Cascade Conference, 4-5 overall) fell to fourth place. The Falcons went through four pitchers — CJ Sutfin, Nick Bennett, Trent Fallon and Brent Piehler — across the five-inning game.

Spring brings rhapsody and romance to the stage Performance combines piano, soprano, oboe and violin for final concert in chamber series By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record The Chamber Music Series reaches its final performance of the season this weekend with an afternoon of romantic compilations that herald the arrival of spring. On Saturday, Whidbey musicians join together for “Springtime Rhapsody and Romance” featuring music from Nola Allen who accompanies Teo Benson, Susan Strick and Frances Kenney. The performance includes charming pieces from Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Schumann and Beethoven. The program features Allen on piano and in watercolor, through the poster design. Allen is a regular performer on Whidbey Island and Seattle and accompanies each musician. Concert organizer Libby Roberts said her goal for all concerts is to bring high quality and interesting chamber music for the island audience. Roberts is blown away by Allen’s talents and said Allen is what makes the concert unique. “She is at the heart of the concert; her energy and talent is mind boggling and she’s accomplished in watercolors,” Roberts said. Allen originally began performing at the church with a trio that played together for 27 years. Now, she shows her watercolors in galleries and continues to perform with various groups. “They’re good musicians,” she said of the performers. “We can feed off each other with ideas. Our collaboration is always enjoyable.” One of the pieces she chose is “Violin Sonata No. 8” by Beethoven, which has become well-known to Allen. She said there is a certain joyfulness to the piece. “He really shows his

“Springtime Rhapsody and Romance” The one-time performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 12 at Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island, 20103 Highway 525, Freeland.

Benson has been a part of several concerts in the series and enjoys playing with Allen because of their shared experiences on Whidbey. “I think we share a similar vision both being from the island,” he said. “We just work well together.” Benson said the solo piece he will perform, “Ballade” by Ysaÿe, is a technical challenge. He connects with Ysaÿe’s works because of the feelings the composer can describe from playing the violin. “There’s a little more depth in his compositions than other violinist composers. A lot of the others are flashy and impressive, but there’s not as much depth in the music,” Benson said. “His music is very emotionally and visually broad. I enjoy playing Ysaÿe.”

Seattle Optometrist Helps LEGALLY BLIND to See!

Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. A Seattle optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic. “Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’”

Patient Driving with Bioptic Telescopic Glasses With interest-free payment options this technology is now more affordable than ever. “Definitely worth the $2150 cost. I should have come sooner,” said Dr. Cusic’s patient. For more information and a FREE telephone consultation,

MANAGING BROKER CERTIFIED RESIDENTIAL SPECIALIST

READY TO MOVE?

Whether buying or selling a home, your moving date will be an important consideration. Also called the “possession date”, it is one of the items which is negotiated and included in the contract of sale. Possession dates are most often established in relation to the “closing date”, the date on which the purchase money is paid and the title transfers to the purchasers. In a contract, the possession date may read “upon transfer of title and disbursement of funds”, or merely “at closing.” Is possession always given at closing? Not necessarily. Remember, it is negotiable. It can be whatever date is acceptable to both buyers and sellers. The possession date may be “fourteen days after closing” or “seven days prior to closing.” Notice that possession is still relative to the closing date. If possession occurs on any date other than at closing, a short term lease agreement should be prepared. It should include the amount of any rent to be paid, what happens if the sale is not consummated, who is responsible for damage or needed repairs during the lease, etc. All agreements related to possession should be in writing. Any changes made after the contract has been signed should also be reduced to writing and signed by all parties.

CADA CONTINUED FROM A1

a candidate, Porter explained, but the details have not been finalized. Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner with the Oak Harbor Police Department said she’s worked closely with Porter and said she’s greatly improved the services offered to victims. “She’s done more in the support of women in this community than anyone else I know,” Gardner said. The agency, commonly known as CADA, wasn’t in a very good place when Porter first started on an interim basis which eventually became permanent. In 2004, CADA had gone through several directors in just a couple of years. The board of directors for the nonprofit caused an uproar by firing the longtime director a couple of years prior. When she started, CADA was located in a small, sweltering, hard-to-find office above a pizza restaurant in Coupeville. The agency had “zero dollars” in its budget

and no credit line, Porter said. Victims of sexual abuse often had to travel to hospitals off the island for special sexualassault exams. Nowadays, a lot has changed for the better. Trish Rose, president of the volunteer board of directors, said CADA’s reputation extends beyond Island County. “Margie is widely recognized as the go-to person in our state for an effective program and her efforts have been benchmarked by other like organizations,” she said in an email. “The exemplary reports we get after our yearly audits are a testament to that fact.” CADA now operates out of a professional suite of offices in Oak Harbor, one floor down from the Department of Social and Health Services offices. With a combination of grants and donations, Porter built a 3.5-month budget reserve and has a credit line in case of emergencies. When she started, 26 percent of the budget was going to administrative costs; now it’s just 7 percent. Porter said she realized it was unacceptable to expect

victims of rape to travel to a distant and unfamiliar place to have medical personnel perform an exam to preserve evidence. So when Tom Tomasino became CEO of Whidbey General Hospital, she approached him with her concerns. Porter and Tomasino worked together to provide nurses with Sexual Assault Nurse Exam, or SANE, training. Not long after she started, CADA partnered with the Island County Housing Authority and the Opportunity Council to build an emergency shelter and transitional housing for women and children. Marjie’s House is named after Marjorie Monnett, a Freeland resident who was murdered in a 2002 domestic violence incident. Porter secured a grant to house people who are fleeing domestic violence or are homeless because of domestic violence. The shelter provided 1,577 “bed nights” last year. Porter said she’s very proud of the relationship she’s built with community partners, particularly law

enforcement. Such partnerships weren’t particularly healthy a decade ago, she said. But most of all, Porter has succeeded in building the services provided by CADA, largely due to her awareness of what the needs are and her ability to obtain grant funding. The two main programs offered by CADA, said Porter, are victim services and advocacy-based counseling. CADA employs advocates who work with victims to identify and address a wide variety of needs and to provide things like crisis assistance, emotional support, safety planning, shelter options and referrals to other agencies and providers. Advocates aren’t therapists, she said, but “good listeners who can help people decide what to do.” The advocates don’t judge, but try to help people understand their options and rights. One important point, she said, is that victims don’t have to report anything to law enforcement to get help. Legal advocates help victims understand their rights and navigate the court system.

respond to the hospital. CADA has a crisis line for victims who want to speak to an advocate about domestic violence or sexual assault. The number is 1-800-215-5669 or 360-675-CADA. The agency puts on a “domestic violence impact panel,” Porter said. District court judges order people convicted in misdemeanor domestic assault cases to attend the educational program. Porter said she’s most proud of the school-age programs the agency has built from the ground up. CADA employs two community educators who present the “Hands & Words Should Not Hurt” program at elementary schools. Children take an antibullying pledge to speak up if someone is being bullied, to reach out to others who are being helped and to keep their hands and words from hurting others. In middle schools, the message is about healthy relationships and bullying prevention. The high school program focuses on “safe dates.” “My hope is that someday there won’t be a CADA,” she said. “If we reach the children now, maybe there won’t be a need in the future.” Rose agrees that Porter will be remembered for her work in the schools. “If I had to name one thing as a shining example of Margie’s legacy, it is that she crafted a team of extremely talented educators and advocates who are effecting positive change in our schools,” Rose said. “By getting into the schools and raising awareness at a young age about issues such as bullying and safe dating, Margie not only focused on victims but worked to prevent victimization.”

Sexual Assault Awareness Month In commemoration of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Whidbey General Hospital and Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse are presenting a series of programs to highlight the problem of sexual assault in the community and discuss resources available for those impacted by it. The month seeks to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence, which is a major public health, human rights and social justice issue. The statistics are staggering. Rape remains the most under-reported crime in America, according to the National Violence Against Women Prevention Research Center and various other studies. One in five women and one in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives, according to a Centers of Disease Control and Prevention study. Three presentations will be held in April featuring speakers from Whidbey General and CADA. — 5:30 p.m., Monday, April 14, Freeland Library — 5:30 p.m., Monday, April 21, Coupeville Library — 5:30 p.m., Monday, April 28, Oak Harbor Library

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

years. “There just hasn’t been much interest,” Neff said. “But we really do need to have some new blood.” Of the seven positions on the mayor-appointed, council-confirmed board, only four are occupied. Langley has four volunteer citizen boards and three volunteer commissions. The Langley Library Board, Historic Preservation Commission and the Langley Cemetery Board have seven members; the rest have five, except the Civil Service Commission, which has three (two are listed as vacant on the city’s website). Finding new citizen cemetery directors has been an issue for Langley for the past few years. Up north in Coupeville’s Cemetery District 2 that oversees the Sunnyside Cemetery, the three-member board has usually been filled during Commissioner Roger Sherman’s 18 years. “We’ve been quite fortunate,” he said. “There’s only one case in 18 years of a person coming forward and wanting to serve the board here, and that person was born here and lived here all her life,” he later added. Sherman acknowledged that the Central Whidbey cemetery district has avoid-

the park-and-ride lot at Bayview Road and Highway 525. It now houses the hospital’s emergency medical services station. More centrally located, the idea for the new clinic was to expand access to outpatient services on the South End, according to Trish Rose, hospital spokeswoman. “Our plan was derailed when our ability to access revenue bonds disappeared during the 2008 economic downturn,” said Rose, in a Thursday email to The Record. “We also learned that because of changes to laws

ed board vacancies, in part, because it is a Sherman family tradition. Since the 1920s, his family has had strong ties to the Sunnyside Cemetery, starting with a forebear being the property’s groundskeeper. “We’re carrying on a tradition, and obviously you don’t have that in Langley,” he said. One of the problems for Langley, Sherman surmised [though he acknowledged he did not know the specifics of the LangleyWoodmen Cemeter y], was that its board did not have broad control over its finances because it was not a taxing agency. “We control all of the finances,” Sherman said, adding that the county pays for its utilities bills. The Langley-Woodmen Cemetery is set up as a separate fund for the city with a 2014 budget of $16,532 to pay for some upkeep of the grounds. The budget does not pay for a full-time groundskeeper, and the city often relies on volunteer help to spiff up the property. “We have to pay for all of the maintenance and all of the upkeep of the cemetery … and any improvements that aren’t big, capital improvements,” Neff said. “Otherwise everything done there is all volunteer,” she added. Sherman and Neff each said that cemetery board members usually have

affecting Critical Access hospitals, the outpatient services we hoped to provide at the clinic would not be reimbursed at a rate that could sustain those services.” For those reasons, the development plans were put on “indefinite hold,” Rose wrote. Tarrant did say, however, the hospital is still interested in building a larger South Whidbey clinic, but the current board doesn’t see the Bayview property as “viable” and it is a poor fit with the hospital’s existing strategic plan. One reason, she said, is it lacks good access to the bus line on Highway 525. It is one of three properties the board identified for possible

an affinity and interest for history. Neff said the city council could move to reduce the size of the cemetery board, thus making it easier to fill the positions. But she defended its seven-member ranks as a benefit in helping to cover any absences and still have a quorum. Serving on the Langley Cemetery Board requires a monthly meeting, though it usually recesses during summer. Neff said the board had some “big decisions” ahead of it, especially regarding the implementation of a green burial section. “It’s a group of people who have been extremely active and really love the cemetery and want to preserve its uniqueness,” Neff said of the cemetery board. “Anyone who is interested in keeping the character of our cemetery alive and well is a great candidate,” she added.

sale. One, a house in Oak Harbor bequeathed to the hospital, is already sold and the third is the site of the old emergency medical services property located in Freeland next to Skagit Farmers Supply. Tarrant reiterated, however, that selling the Bayview property isn’t a sure thing and that the commissioners are seeking feedback from the community. “We haven’t made a determination yet on whether to sell the property,” Tarrant said. “We’d like to get some input from the public first.” As for the wide gulf between the county’s assessed value of the property in 2007 and the purchase price, the circumstances remain unclear.

ETHICS CONTINUED FROM A1

“It raised the concern that not all those questions were answered,” McCarthy said. “You have to think down the road, what are they gonna do? How much weight will be given to their opinion?” he added. Ethics commission member Ann Medlock, one of the members who criticized the city’s decision to get rid of a standing ethics board at its last meeting in March, said the board was not set up to oversee the police officers’ conduct. “It’s strictly advisory,” she said. “Nothing would come out of the ethics board that would have the force of law.” Langley’s population and ability to draw enough candidates was one of the reasons McCarthy stood by his original recommendation. The city has a few citizen boards with vacancies, including one for the cemetery board that has gone unfilled for two years. “I didn’t want people on an

WHIDBEY ISLAND

None of the current commissioners were on the board at the time, and the hospital also has a different chief executive officer and chief financial officer. In her email, Rose said, “ ... in some markets, a disparity exists between assessed valuation and market value, but since executive sessions do not produce minutes or notes, we have no record or knowledge of the reasoning used in setting the property purchase price.” While the prior board’s reasons remain a mystery to existing commissioners, Tarrant said she is hopeful private appraisal numbers presented at the April 14 meeting will spell good news.

ethics board without a task to do,” McCarthy said. Medlock wholly disagreed. She said there are plenty of people who would answer the city’s call for an independent ethics board to meet regularly or as needed to address ethical issues. “I personally would like to see the city go back to the idea of having an ethics board,” she said. “Given our history, we need to do this,” she added, referring to the previous mayor’s forging of a city document that favored a relative’s building permit. Former mayor Larry Kwarsick was

later sentenced to some jail time for the crime. McCarthy said that even if the city had enough people, he wasn’t sure it would always have the best qualified members. He said it not as a slight to whomever may serve, but as a testament to the nature of ethical concerns. Langley’s mayor preferred the option of forming ad-hoc committees that could include residents with a background in the issue. For example, if there was an ethical question over building rights, he proposed requesting an architect and a contractor to join the one-off ethics committee.
