Shoddy accounting results in transit staff cuts, service reduction ‘I take full responsibility for this situation’ — Martha Rose By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record A total of 24 employees will be laid off, Saturday bus service is being cancelled and five routes will be eliminated or changed due to financial problems uncovered at Island Transit. Martha Rose, director of Island Transit, fired Financial Manager Barbara Savary in May after she disclosed that the agency didn’t have the money to pay $135,000 in bills. Rose said she was dumbfounded to discover that Savary hadn’t been running the monthly cash flow analysis for years. She said the simple, internal report is not only a vital part of the job, but would have alerted the agency to cash flow concerns long ago. Island Transit is an independent agency overseen by a board of directors. It offers fare-free transit and is funded by a nine-tenths of 1 percent sales tax and grants. The operating budget for this year is $12.2 million. Unbeknownst to her, Rose said, Savary was dipping into investments as expenses outpaced revenues for years on end. Rose said she found unpaid bills in Savary’s desk after she was gone. “We are implementing swift, decisive changes in service to fix the problem,” Rose said. “We expect to come out of the SEE TRANSIT, A24

A beaver lodge sits at the southern edge of Miller Lake, about 30 yards from a beaver dam. Lake levels are on the rise, and along with other impacts, are raising concern among South Whidbey residents.
Whidbey’s beaver population Residents chew on problem, seek county help By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Some residents believe the county could be doing more about the island’s beaver problem, but the solutions are not always clear cut. “It’s always been an issue and no one really addresses it,” said Karen Krug, owner of the Spoiled Dog Winery farm near Maxwelton Creek. At a recent public hearing on the county’s Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas update, Krug suggested to county commissioners that they make it an obligation for people to manage the beavers on their property. The county’s lack of enforcement on beaver control creates a risk for the people downstream if a dam breaches, and for those upstream as areas flood and overtake valuable farmland, Krug said. Some cases are extreme, such as that of Long Family Farm on Ewing Road, which is located within the Maxwelton valley. Beavers are believed partially responsible for the flooding of more than 40 acres of summer pasture. “We’ve been farming it for 100 years, and it’s always been bone dry,” farmer owner Leland Long said. The flooding may also be the result of unmaintained drainage SEE BEAVERS, A16
Justin Burnett / The Record
Leland Long, of Long Family Farm in Maxwelton, has lost about 40 acres of summer pasture land due to what he believes are the result of beavers. Deterioration of drainage ditches that long helped keep the area dry may also be contributing to the problem. County officials are now considering ways of addressing beaver-created problems.

Three treasurer candidates to face off in primary By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Candidates running against Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuñez say they can do a better job handling the county’s money. Nuñez’s former chief deputy Wanda Grone filed to run for the seat last month and was immediately fired. “I’ve learned now how to run a treasurer’s office,” Grone said. “I’m honest, I work hard.” The third candidate, title and escrow manager Christa Canell, said she’s running because of complaints she’s heard from former clients about mistakes in the treasurer’s office. “Things aren’t running properly,” Canell said. “I’ve managed an office. In escrow accounting, you don’t have room for error.” Despite the political jabs she’s receiving from her opponents, Nuñez maintains that she has done many positive things while in office and wants the chance to do more. “To be a good treasurer, you have to open yourself up, you have to really believe in what you are doing and that

you want to make a difference,” Nuñez said. Nuñez, a Democrat, has worked in government accounting for more than 16 years as a Department of Defense employee. She was appointed as the treasurer’s chief deputy prior to winning the top role in 2010. She is a licensed certified public accountant and has a masters degree in accounting and financial management. “Running again was not an easy decision, but I believe I can still make a difference,” Nuñez said. “Four years is a start, it’s not a finish.”
One main criticism stems from an extended leave Nuñez took last year to assist an ailing family member. In addition, Nuñez takes four weeks of vacation every year, she said. Nuñez said she’s not going to apologize for taking the leave that she’s earned or for helping her family. “I was never out of the loop,” Nuñez said. “I was okay with it and so were the commissioners. Choosing to use your leave is your business. It refreshes you.” Grone, a Republican, said Nuñez’s multiple absences
made it difficult to get things done and that she failed to delegate key tasks. The treasurer’s office has been struggling with a backlog of unprocessed tax supplements, which Nuñez inherited from her predecessor. In addition, errors made with the Clean Water Utility fee and the tax statements for Camano Island residents have plagued Nunez’s tenure. Grone said Nuñez’s handsoff leadership and abrasive personality contributed to some of the problems. As a recent chief deputy, Grone said she is the best
Squadron options may delay Growler study The Navy plans to consider larger EA-18G Growler squadrons as part of the Environmental Impact Statement they initiated last year. Including new alternatives in the EIS will likely require re-scoping of the project and push out the completion date, according to a Fleet Forces Command news release. A draft of the EIS is currently slated to be released next year, with an adoption date in 2016. The move is in response to Congress’ current discussions about appropriating funds to the U.S. Navy for additional
Growlers. “While it is unclear whether more Growlers will ultimately be procured, the Navy has decided to be proactive in analyzing the potential growth in the Growler inventory in order to ensure full transparency with the public and local community,” the news release said. Currently Electronic Attack Squadrons have five aircraft each. Under three new alternatives, squadrons would be increased to have seven or eight aircraft. Fleet Forces Command has been directed by the Navy to
equipped to go in, take over where Nuñez leaves off and get the office caught up. “I found the times she was gone the staff responded well to me as a leader,” Grone said. “My car was always the last one to leave the parking lot. I recognize the actions that need to be taken to improve this office. I expect accountability.” Grone is a 29-year Washington resident living the last four years in Island County. Grone is also a licensed certified public accountant and a certified fraud examiner. She served as Island County chief deputy treasurer from 2011-2014, following 30 years of private industry experience in senior-level accounting and financial analysis positions. Canell, also a Republican, said that years of management experience and dealing with large amounts of money accurately as an escrow manager suit her for the treasurer’s role. “I already have been a manager for 16 years,” Canell said. “I know the rest will be a learning curve but I will work closely with staff to get up to
speed.” Canell said she believes her hands-on management style will allow her to lead the treasurer’s office in improving accuracy and efficiency. “That’s my goal to go in and do it myself if I have to,” Canell said. “That’s taxpayer dollars. The office should work as a cohesive team and I plan to help and get involved.” Ultimately, Canell said she’s running because she believes she can do the best job for Island County. “I care about the people in our community… they deserve someone who knows how to run an office and be accountable to the taxpayer,” Canell said. Canell is a life-long resident of Island County and has worked as the branch manager of Land Title and Escrow for 16 years. She also has a limited practice officers license through the Washington Bar Association. The primary election is Tuesday, Aug. 6. The two candidates with the most votes will proceed to the general election in November.
incorporate these squadron alternatives in the EIS and are currently evaluating how the change will affect the timing of the EIS. An announcement will be made to the public when a decision is reached. The number of Growlers in the Navy inventory, and the number ultimately based at the airbase, will depend on how many, if any, are funded by Congress, the release said. The original scoping looked at the impact of two additional expeditionary Growler squadrons and three additional aircraft to the training squadron at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. All three of the new alternatives would mean an increase in Growlers, pilots and support staff.

FREELAND Freeland favorite shutters its doors In the midst of this past Saturday’s rush, Gerry and Angele Woolery looked at each other and knew the day had finally come. The couple had run Gerry’s Kitchen on Main Street in Freeland for 10 years, and it was time to hang up their aprons and pick up the proverbial fishing pole. The decision to close, which went into effect Sunday, was made solely out of a desire to “enjoy the fruit of our labors” and each other’s company. Rumors that he closed suddenly for health reasons are not true, he said. “We’re healthy and happy,” he said. “We just thought it was time.” For many in the Freeland area, Gerry’s Kitchen will be sorely missed. “Everybody is absolutely distraught,” said Joanna Snow Cruse, a regular customer.
The eatery was more than a restaurant, it was a gathering place for Freeland residents. People went there for great food, to hang out with friends and the Woolerys themselves. Gerry Woolery would often mingle with his customers, catching up on the latest and greatest, she said. “Boy, I’ll miss him,” Cruse said. Chet Ross, president of the Freeland Chamber of Commerce, said the closure of Gerry’s Kitchen is a loss for the Freeland area. It was a popular restaurant with a loyal customer base, and though there are other favorites in town, it was the kind of business every community wants — successful and a draw for the area. “We need more restaurants, more variety — losing one is hard,” Ross. It was gratifying to build the restaurant from scratch, Gerry Woolery said. They got to know many of their customers well, and felt the business mattered. “We sorta felt like we fed Freeland,” he said.

SCHOOLS Board approves 2014-2015 budget The board unanimously approved the school district’s 2014-15 $15.3 million budget Wednesday evening. Board members previously expressed some concern about the district’s projected spending on increased faculty salaries and maintenance costs, but Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations Dan Poolman confirmed that money available from sources such as the General Fund (money earned through state tax dollars) have proven sufficient enough to provide the district with a healthy projected budget for the upcoming year. The total amount to be earned from local tax revenues is budgeted at about $3.9 million, about
$105,000 more than last year. The total revenue expected from local nontax revenue is $407,082, $61,582 more than last year. The total to be obtained from the state for general purpose funding is nearly $8 million. Total revenue to be granted by the state for special purposes is approximately $2.1 million. Along with another $30,000 expected to be redeemed from state agencies and $773,021 federal dollars allotted for special purpose funding, projected revenue for the 2014-15 school year is about $15.1 million. In addition, there is a grant capacity of $150,000, making the total budgeted revenue for the upcoming school year about $15.3 million. In addition to income, the district has access to the money already present from sources such as the General Fund, which had a beginning balance of about $1.5 million; Debt Service, with a balance of about $147,000; and Transportation and Vehicle and Associated Student Body Funds. In August, the district will receive approximately $112,000 for transportation and vehicles, and receive a new school bus. The total expenditures budgeted for the year are about $15.5 million, an amount which Poolman said will be covered by the combination of existing funds and revenue. “Everything looks good at this point, probably the
strongest we’ve been in a while,” said Poolman.
COUNTY Rescuers find lost kayaking kids Seven kayaking students were temporarily missing near Deception Pass Bridge Thursday afternoon, but were found uninjured. Two instructors took their class of 12-year-olds and temporarily lost sight of them “due to whatever reason,” according to Ed Wallace from the Island County Sheriff’s Department. Wallace said that state parks, North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, the Coast Guard and Navy Search and Rescue responded to the report, and a helicopter was launched for the search. Every student was found, and no injuries were reported. George Degener with the Coast Guard said that both the Coast Guard and NASWI deployed air crews to search for the students. Degener said the navy sent down a rescue swimmer to help the students into their helicopter, then joined the two adult instructors on shore to help them into the Coast Guard’s helicopter, joining them. “This is a great example of how the two services are able to work together,” Degener said. Degener said the helicopters took everyone to Whidbey General Hospital, but only as a precaution. He went on to say that they urge all kayakers to make sure they have the necessary safety equip-

ment, and that because the instructors had radios, they were able to receive help from emergency services a lot faster than if they’d only had cell phones. Degener said that five of the kayaks were secured on the beach, and two were found adrift, but two are still adrift and could pose a problem to navigation, so he said anyone who spots the kayaks should alert the Coast Guard so they can try to retrieve them.
LANGLEY Mayor honors Langley planner Langley Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango got high praise at the city council meeting Monday. Mayor Fred McCarthy presented him with an award for his work on the redesign of Second Street that was part public works, part “placemaking,” and part downtown revitalization. “This is one everyone saw, everyone loved,” McCarthy said. Arango announced that he was invited by an international planning group to a conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was invited to participate in workshops about “placemaking,” a community planning term about designing public spaces to attract people. His travel ticket is being partially paid for by the Langley Main Street Association, and his attendance at the conference is covered by the organizers.

Langley considering zoning change to allow retail outside downtown By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Searching for lower rent and more space, Sarah Boin and her husband Patrick may have their ideal space in Langley. Just up the street from Wander on Whidbey, her Anthes Avenue outdoors shop, the Boins have their sights set on space in the former Living Green building on Second Street and De Bruyn Avenue. To be able to move her business there [which she said is tentative] and open a restaurant [which she said is definite], Boin asked the Langley City Council to consider changing the city’s zoning code Monday night. She received resounding support from the council, which voted 5-0 to pursue the zoning change. “You and Patrick are definitely the type of demographic we want to attract to town,” Councilwoman Rene Neff said. Half of the building’s retail space is run by Kelly Baugh, owner of Sundance Bakery. After taking over the space used by Living Green, she found success with the locally-sourced bakery but had to close for a while to work on her new wood-fire oven. Now, the Boins want to work side-by-side in the same building with Patrick running

Sarah Boin, owner of Wander on Whidbey on Anthes Avenue in Langley, helps a customer July 24. She is looking to open a restaurant and possibly move up to the former Langley lumberyard on Second Street if the city changes its code. the restaurant—the Salish Kitchen—and Sarah running her outdoor apparel shop. “It would be really lovely to be up there feeding people and clothing them for the outdoors,” she told the council. The zoning code for “neighborhood business” was already rejected by the city’s Planning Advisory Board in a 3-2 vote. Councilman Thomas Gill, who previously served on the planning board, described a neighborhood business as
one of professional services rather than retail. “They’re primarily shops that have very little foot traffic—offices like the professional center on Third Street coming into town,” Gill said in a phone interview Thursday. “The big difference is simply to have a business that wouldn’t have an impact on the neighborhood,” he added. At the time, the city was looking for a location that could accommodate the state’s regulations for rec-

reational marijuana retail. None of the spaces in the downtown area worked, but Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango discovered that some commercial
areas near the edge of town on Third Street could work, with an amendment to the zoning to allow retail. One of the planning board’s concerns, Gill said, was that making the zoning change could allow for a strip mall. While most places outside the downtown business core aren’t suitable for such a development, Gill warned that the properties across from Langley Middle School and the fairgrounds could be developed into a strip if the amendment is not carefully worded. Having the council override or reject a planning board decision is not unheard of, though it is uncommon. Gill could not recall a time when the council completely disregarded the planning board. The council could use its authority to do so if the planning board did not come up with a solution to allow retail in areas outside of downtown. Rising rents are forcing some businesses out and keeping others away, Gill said.
THE
“The PAB is supposed to go through the process of creating what the people want so the council doesn’t have to go through all of that work” Gill said. Boin said she wanted to be part of an expansion of Langley’s retail. Instead of confining stores to the waterfront and near-waterfront areas where rents can reach $1,000 per month, Gill said it was important for the city to allow for commercial diversity. “We should have the same rules there as we have in the rest of the city,” Gill said. Later, he added: “Unlike what most people have been saying, we’ve noticed there’s a lack of affordable retail space downtown. Yes there are some open spaces, but they’re quite expensive.” No leases have been signed yet. Boin said she hoped the Salish Kitchen, if all goes well, will open in September, and that if she moves, it will likely be in October.

SOUND OFF Bluff stabilization is a Langley responsibility GUEST COLUMN By KATHLEEN WATERS
To the mayor, city council of Langley and the Port of South Whidbey Commissioners: Please address a solution to the separate and serious landslides on Wharf Street in 2013. It is disturbing to know that the money that was originally allocated for the widening and consequent shoring up of the bluff toward Cascade Avenue by the Island County Council of Governments is not targeted for use to serve the wider
Langley community. The money that was originally requested from the council for work on Wharf Street, including its natural geography up the bluff toward Cascade Avenue, should be put to use to serve the wider Langley community, marina traffic, the residents of South Whidbey and in particular property owners whose livelihood and lives rely on the use of Wharf Street for regular and reliable transportation. Again, I ask that all elected officials please give this continuing problem of potential slides on Wharf Street due deliberation in concert with open minds and adequate research and expert consultation. Casual conversations based on personal ideas, personal opinions, denial of facts about the Wharf Street and Cascade slides, including misinformation masquerading as fact, are not feasible in this case. Cascade Avenue remains in peril until Wharf Street is stabilized. As does, of course, Wharf Street and those who must use it to come and go from the beach and marina area. If money beyond the grant funds from the council, in the amount of $500,000, is not adequate then a partnership with the Port of South Whidbey is the first agency that should be considered for a joint solution. Beyond that the city must find a solution through any means available to it. Not addressing this problem is not an option for those who need to use Wharf Street. As a long-time property owner on Wharf Street who has experienced the various iterations of potential and actual waterfront development on private and public property, cityimposed zoning and land use changes and entrepreneurial proposals, it is indeed time for the City of Langley to step up to its safety and transportation responsibilities to property owners and the public. It is beyond time for the city of Langley to stabilize and ensure safe, long-term traffic on Wharf Street. Commercial property depends on a functional Wharf Street in equal measure with residential and mixed use parcels. The recent landslide in Oso, Snohomish County, is a SEE SOUND OFF, A7

Letters Warning
Fawn season necessitates dog owner responsibility Editor, Summer of the fawn: South Whidbey is still beautiful, but it is not the open frontier. It is a community, and living in community requires respect for neighbors; our dogs cannot run loose. We love them and do not easily acknowledge that they are predators by nature and as a pack of efficient killers, even toy breeds. Now is the time of spindly, vulnerable baby deer rightly guarded by mothers who will justly pound any danger to their young to a pulp if they can. It is a fleeting gift that wildlife are still our neighbors. Most of us live here because of nature’s beauty and the sensitive community that fosters the deer that are her children; honor
that (and build a fence if necessary). Redouble your efforts to escapeproof your yard and supervise your dogs off-leash. Mother Nature is implacable enough; mauled and dying fawns and their mothers as a result of human thoughtlessness is a preventable atrocity. VICTORIA PELOQUIN Langley

ment that is clearly stated on the “Final Golf Course Site Plan” which was adopted by the Island County Board of Commissioners and recorded during 1993. But apparently it will [require a lawsuit] because of economic interests. I disagree that this is a personal struggle. This dispute involves sale price value of property as it relates to zoning and possible redevelopment. It is not surprising that money and property use are issues. I think all of us want everyone to make money, be successful and avoid conflict. However, our district is not new to the subject of defending our community interests, so we will do that without regard to minor spats between tenants or personalities. We intend to get along with everyone even after a squabble because we are a public agency. And please understand that an easement is a property right, and a property right is an asset. The Holmes Harbor Sewer District cannot simply surrender an asset to a private party in violation of state law. Our attorneys have indicated that we do not have much choice in this regard. So unless there is some change of position to accept what ought to have been obvious from the outset when the buyers acquired the properties, court authority will be needed to resolve this dispute in spite of all of us wishing it were not so. STAN WALKER
Tooth fairy doesn’t exist at golf course Editor, In a recent editorial about the Holmes Harbor Golf Course, you wrote, “If there is more to it than that, and this really is about money and making the most from an investment, then they should be clear about their intentions publicly, for the surrounding community has a vested interest in what happens at the golf course.” What do you think these two gentlemen bought this property for? How stupid is the community at large to believe they had any other motive than profit on their investment? There was ample opportunity for some altruistic soul to purchase the property and maintain it in perpetuity for the benefit of the community. We all know the tooth fairy doesn’t exist, don’t we?

Elections
Larsen has lost his way, vote Lapointe Editor, Democrats have a choice this year. Americans are held in thrall to party politics. We are told for whom to vote. Democrats are expected to vote for the candidate bestowed with the magical “D.” The two major parties gerrymander congressional districts to ensure incumbents remain safe. It’s all about maintaining the status quo, not about representing people or fixing our nation’s problems. The result is the mess in Congress.
In Washington’s Second Congressional District “Democrat” Rick Larsen is the incumbent. Because he wears a “D” after his name the party hierarchy is working to re-elect him. The Island County Democratic organization has endorsed him. But Larsen is a Democrat in name only. His principles are not Democratic. Larsen doesn’t represent Second District voters; he represents big industry and military-industrial interests. Rick Larsen is wrong on every major issue of our times. He claims to be an environmentalist but supports Big Coal. Global climate change is the most crucial problem we face. Coal burning is a major cause. So what does Larsen want to do about it? Burn and ship even more coal worldwide. His unbridled support for military expansion not only threatens the health and safety of Island County residents but is destroying our Puget Sound environment. Whales can’t call for help — we have to protect them. To Larsen, health, safety and the environment don’t count; he says it’s all about “jobs.” But ask Boeing workers about that. When they fought to retain pension rights Larsen told them to give in. It wasn’t about “good paying” jobs; it was about keeping Boeing happy. Larsen is no friend of labor. Larsen has been in office too long. He has lost his principles and forgotten whom he represents. Will you hold your nose again this year? Not me. I will be voting for Mike Lapointe, an Independent who actually shares my values. Visit www.mikelapointe.

Karla Jacks is right for commissioner Editor, Camano Island and its fate is so closely tied to Stanwood, my hometown and place I love, that I feel compelled to take an interest in its politics. For that reason, I am writing to provide my heartfelt endorsement and support of Karla Jacks. Anyone with half an eye to Island County politics in the last few years should feel some shame for the low level of political discourse. In Karla we can all be proud. She has demonstrated through her work at the Camano Senior and Community Center a genuine commitment to all the members of our community, and to the future of Camano Island. Her leadership skills and well-rounded background make her ideal to get things done — in a productive and respectful fashion — in the halls of Island County government. Thank you, ELLEN HIATT Stanwood

reminder that to ignore serious warnings of continuing landslides has consequences that beggar the imagination in both human and financial terms. I believe that after consideration of all that is known about slides, Whidbey soil, Wharf Street, deteriorating sidewalks and pavement on Cascade Avenue and the history of short-term fixes, the City of Langley has little choice but to put the money that is available from the council to appropriate public use. Any additional needed funds to complete the job must be acquired and expended in order to make Wharf Street whole and consequently assure safe passage on Wharf and no more slippage intruding onto pedestrian and vehicular surfaces on Cascade Avenue. Please let me know what comes of your in-depth plan to solve a serious safety issue. This is not an idle request. I believe as a property owner I need honest and open answers to the issues raised in this message. I expect a solution through the use of public funds that are available to the City of Langley. Thanks. Editor’s note: Kathleen Waters is a former Langley resident who now lives in Seattle and is member of the Normandy Park City Council.

Former Falcon to join Hawaii college soccer team By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record The South Whidbey Falcon soccer season is long over for Trey Adams, yet his workouts continue almost every day and every week. Three days of field drills working on moving with the ball and sending it into the net, four days of weightlifting and cardio exercising, trail runs every other day, maybe a little rest and recovery Sunday, and then he’s back at it. Adams, who graduated from South Whidbey High School this June, is preparing himself for the rigors of collegiate men’s soccer at the University of Hawaii-Hilo. He will leave Whidbey Island, the place he was born and raised and the only home he’s known, for another island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. He does so for the only sport he has ever played, soccer, and without a guarantee that he’ll be on the 18-man travel team. “I hate the idea of not being involved in soccer at some point in my life,” Adams said in between bites of a Greek roast beef wrap at Pickles Deli in Clinton after a rainy dribbling and shooting session at the Sports Complex this week. When Adams speaks, his words are deliberate and natural, much like how he played for the Falcons this past season in which they reached the quarterfinals of the 1A state tournament, and similar to how he’ll need to perform for the Hilo Vulcans.
Getting his shot Earlier this spring, Adams was invited to try out for a spot by Vulcans head coach Lance Thompson. It was a surreal moment for Adams. Just back in April, during the waning days of his high school soccer carrier, he was beginning to accept the possibility that competitive soccer may be over soon. As Adams and his mother, Stacy Adams [whom he said put a soccer ball at his feet as a 4-year-old], flew to Hawaii, they came to a do-or-die conclusion. Either he would attend Seattle University solely as a student or, if he was offered a chance, that he’d be a student-athlete at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, a NCAA Division II program. At the “ID” camp [an abbreviation

Below, he practices ball skills during a downpour July 23 at the Sports Complex in Langley. for identification that is essentially a showcase for college-hopeful soccer players], he impressed the coaches. Adams recalled taking a short water break from the more than three-hour camp. As he was speaking with his mom, Thompson strolled over and spoke with him. That kind of moment is the exact thing every would-be college athlete hopes for when they’re on display for recruitment, and it happened to the Greenbank-born and South Whidbey-raised Adams. “He just walked up and sat down next to us,” Adams said. “I was really, really excited.” Thompson, in his first full year as the men’s soccer coach and the university’s director of soccer, said he envisioned Adams as a forward. Changing from a defensive midfielder to a forward—from defense to offense—will be a homecoming for Adams. For most of his Falcon career, Adams patrolled the field looking for shots as a forward, until this past season. “You never really know who’s going to show up,” Thompson said. “I didn’t expect somebody from the Northwest to hop on a plane and fly out.”

Out of the hundreds of athletes who turn out for the showcase days, Thompson said at most 3 percent are offered a roster spot. Grit set Adams apart in Thompson’s mind. “For him to really battle through some climate issues, if you will, I was really impressed with him on the day,” Thompson said. “He’s got another challenge now in front of him,” he later added.
Transitions Playing for a premier select soccer team last summer, Adams was reassigned to the defense. His Falcon coaches took advantage of his talents - speed, touch, assertiveness - and moved him there as well. Adams also took his senior season as an opportunity to become a team leader. He was promptly voted a team captain for gathering the players and being vocal in affirmation and reinforcement. This past season, his coaches and he acknowledge, was a step in his maturation from a temperamental teenager into a collected young man. But it came after years of having a flashy temper. Adams admits he used to carry off-field issues and
frustrations onto the pitch, and that it always negatively affected his performance. Sometimes he insulted opponents or he argued with coaches and teammates. At one point, Adams quit the select team with only a few games left in the season before being talked into rejoining the team. “I knew I had to change,” Adams said. One of his Falcon coaches, Emerson “Skip” Robbins, said he noticed the transformation at a team meeting before the 2014 tryouts began. “Trey got up and told the varsity guys to work hard, that they’d go far in the playoffs,” Robbins said. “He showed this leadership. Right then and there, I was surprised and at the same time very impressed.”
No guarantees On Aug. 14, Adams will board a plane bound for Hawaii. It will be the first time that he will be truly separated from the place where he has lived his entire life. He joked that many of his South Whidbey peers attending schools in Washington or even in other states may know someone from the island. But he will

know nobody when he arrives for training camp. All of this is happening for a chance, not a guarantee. Adams was invited to try out for the Vulcans, which means he is not a scholarship athlete or guaranteed a spot on the travel team. He may end up with a spot on the roster, but will not go with the 18 players when they leave Hawaii. “I know for a fact that I’m going to have to beat out one of the upperclassmen to get a spot,” he said. “… But I’m definitely confident.

Regatta of wrecks, hot rods Yacht club aims to refloat the lost, forgotten with Lone Lake event
By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Driving through the streets of South Whidbey, residents may notice a trend: dozens of dejected boats sit in yards and driveways waiting idly for the day they might set sail once more. Members of the South Whidbey Yacht Club are offering these boats, and their owners, another chance to take to the sea at the “Sail What You Gotta Regatta” this weekend. “Around the area here you’ll see little boats in people’s garages or on trailers just sitting there and you’ll see them there month after month or year after year and that shouldn’t happen. You must have some interest in sailing it, or you did at one time, so this is your chance to bring it out on the water,” said Bob Rodgers, event organizer. Rodgers said members of the yacht club got the idea for the regatta from their affiliation with the U.S. Sailing Association, a national organization whose newsletters suggest clubs hold community-inclusive parties. Rodgers said the event will give amateur sailors, including members of the youth sailing club, an opportunity to gain experience in a free and open environment. But most importantly, he noted, the event will offer both these and more experienced sailors a chance to have “some fun and whimsy” on the water. The regatta begins at 12 p.m. Saturday, July 26 at Lone Lake and will continue in a mostly free-form fashion until its end at 5 p.m. Rodgers said that, weather permitting, they are hoping

The yacht club offers beginning, intermediate and advanced classes. During the beginning Learn to Sail program, kids learn water safety and to tie knots along with
the basics of sailing. After the procession of El Toros has passed, free hot dogs will be served while supplies last. Attendees are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy lakeside. Intermediate sailors will follow at 2 p.m. with a race of the Vanguards, at which time other faster boats are welcome to hop in as well. At 3 p.m., Pelican racing will start. “Rookie” community members are welcome to begin at this time, as are other slower vessels. At 4 p.m., all boats will parade past the beach. At the end of the day, the most unique and impressive boats will be awarded for categories such as “oddest boat that can float” and “best decorated boat.” “It’s just a fun day to get people out on the water,” Sasson said.

Greenbank Farm’s most dedicated Sheriff’s Report volunteers: the Fido poop patrol
The following are 9-1-1 calls to the Island County Sheriff’s Office.
THURSDAY, JULY 3
By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record If the folks who take their dogs for walks to Greenbank Farm weren’t responsible pet owners and poop pickerup-ers, the place would literally be knee-deep in doggy doo-doo. Judy Feldman, the farm director, held a poop scooping event at the farm’s trails for off-leash dogs last Thursday, but only three helpers showed up, armed with gloves pulled to the elbows and something that looked like the Jaws of Life. Still, she was pleasantly surprised at how few smelly little gems they were able to hunt down in the tall grass. “It’s not a problem at this point and we want to prevent it from becoming a problem,” she said. “With 70 to 80 dogs a day here every day, the poo can start adding up. We need people to help us care for the farm.” Lyn Kiernan helped out, picking up dried droppings off the trails. “As a dog owner, I don’t want my dogs tramping through old poo,” she said. Feldman presented the straight scoop on poop in a blog post earlier this month. She reported that the farm goes through 20,000 poop bags every year and sends
8:19 p.m. — A caller reported a Whidbey Island Nourishes food vending machine at Clinton Hall was vandalized. 10:47 p.m. — A caller reported pulling his boat into Utsalady Bay on Camano Island and having a subject on land yelling through a megaphone that the boater would be fired upon if he parks there.
FRIDAY, JULY 4 3:20 p.m. — A caller on Safari Street advised his wife called him and said she didn’t know what to do with her stepson, who is high. The stepson got upset and punched holes in a wall. She began taking pictures, he shoved her and then she backhanded him. 6:11 p.m. — A caller on Donald Avenue in Oak Harbor has pieced together information that may show his son being associated with recent mail thefts. 7:23 p.m. — A caller on Oak Harbor Road said her neighbor’s dog was growling at her. The owner lets the dog out and it growls at neighbors. It’s brown and named “boss.” 11:15 p.m. — A caller on Polnell Shores Drive believes a boat is on fire in the cove. He can see big flames on the water.

excrement gathered from the farm to create a statue in the shape of a gently curved dog dropping — with a diameter of a 32-gallon garbage can — it would rise 50 feet. That’s about the height of a brachiosaurus. It’s exactly the height of the 50-Foot Woman. “It’s a farm and we deal with a lot of poo,” Feldman said. “There’s plenty of poo to go around.” Greenbank Farm also has two dozen geese that reside at a pond next to the main barn. A sign nearby warns that each goose produces 1.5 pounds of manure a day. In addition, swallows
have built nests over doorways and splatter the area with white. It all means a lot of cleaning and upkeep to keep the popular farm in order. And while it’s funny to talk about poop, she said the topic does touch on a more serious, if sticky subject. The farm has been owned by the community since 1997, but its future is still unwritten. The community needs to remain invested in the farm, said Feldman, whether it’s visiting the shops, being involved in the board of directors or picking up poop. “This could all go away,” Feldman said, motioning to the scenic fields and woods
10:11 a.m. — A caller from the Eagles club advised sometime overnight someone tore a piece of plywood off their window and cut their phone lines. The caller believes they tried to break in. 5:08 p.m. — A caller on Admiralty Way asked for a call from law enforcement regarding her husband, who has not returned from golfing. He is overdue by 30 minutes. 6:46 p.m. — A caller on Alter Street on Camano Island advised he just rescued a subject from the water. 11:49 p.m. — A caller on Thompson Road reported a male walking on the side of the highway with bare feet. His is now sitting in the grass and requesting a ride but the caller will not pick him up.
SUNDAY, JULY 6 12:29 a.m. — A caller at a Clinton restaurant reported seeing a young white male lying on the side of the roadway. His head was on the fog line, and he kept getting up and lying back down again. 6:01 p.m. — A caller on Myrtle Ave in Freeland reported a sunken boat and people in the water. 9:11 p.m. — A caller on Maple Avenue reported the use of fireworks and what she is certain are sticks of dynamite.

Kids learn lights, camera, action on streets of Langley By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record More than 20 aspiring young filmmakers took to the streets of Langley Monday afternoon to begin scouting the ideal location in which to film their original movies during the 10th annual Film Camp. The camp provides students ages 12-18 with a chance to spend two weeks delving into the world of movie-making—from lights, camera, action to blooper reels and musical scores. Kids come from across the island and are granted the chance to meet new friends and explore each others’ home turf while learning the intricacies of the craft from professionals. “They both get to spend time in each other’s home territory and find out it’s not as foreign, different and scary as they thought,” said Chris Douthitt, Oak Harbor High School video and broadcasting teacher and head instructor of the camp, in a press release. “There are plenty of adults on the island who could benefit from that kind of positive interaction too.” During the first week, campers learn to write scenes, cast actors and, finally, shoot their feature at their location of choice in South Whidbey. The second week is spent at Oak Harbor High School’s Wildcat TV studio. Here, the kids score their films with accompanying sound effects and music and building title sequences. They also work on extras such as blooper reels, behind-thescenes videos and movie posters. According to Douthitt, creative kids from both the Whidbey Children’s Theater and Oak Harbor

South Whidbey artists show works at Brackenwood
Kate Daniel / The Record
Jeff Day, pictured in his Langley studio, returned from China to show his works at Brackenwood.
By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Freeland resident Ginny O’Neill has been an artist all her life, from drawing friends’ portraits as a teenager to graphic design and acrylic painting in her ‘20s. But it was not until O’Neill moved to Whidbey and began working the forms and colors of the island’s natural landscape into intricately layered water color paintings that she felt her career as an artist had truly begun.
In 2004, O’Neill took up classes in watercolor painting from local artist Patti Gulledge-White, and these lessons have not concluded since. It was Gulledge-White who, according to O’Neill, taught her everything she knows about the craft. Through these lessons and her own inherent talent, O’Neill has developed a unique painting technique involving layers of color, usually subdued, mixed by hand. It is only after the backdrop has dried that

O’Neill permits herself to start drawing, the step she says is likely her favorite. The final products are detailed portrayals of the things she loves most: dogs, the ocean, seaside towns and beaches. “It just doesn’t sound like enough to call it beautiful,” she said in reference to the Whidbey landscape that inspires her. “It has got its own beauty, it’s a quiet beauty. There’s a peacefulness to it.” O’Neill recalled the very first painting she produced was of the water. “It’s what I love, what I feel. It’s just sort of a part of me,” she explained. In part, it is the magnetism of the island and its healthy arts community which has drawn another artist, Jeff Day, back to Langley from his home in China for the opening of a new show at the Brackenwood Gallery in Langley. In it, O’Neill, Day and Langley resident Pete Jordan will all be featured. Since Rene Neff, who is also a city councilwoman, opened Brackenwood in 2009 it has been home to several renowned Pacific Northwest artists. Day, a sculptor with 40 years of professional art experience who has been living in both Istanbul and China for the past six years, is returning

O’Neill will be showing her paintings at Brackenwood along with Jeff Day and Pete Jordan. to Langley for the month of August to show his works at Brackenwood before returning overseas. In Day’s studio, nestled in the forest around Langley, several of his signature abstract and figurative bronze pieces of varying sizes and subject are on display. At a glance Day’s motivation for creation — “to inspire the viewer” — is apparent. The figures are as emotive as they are fluid — human forms and faces carved with gesticulations of hopefulness, of weariness, and everything in between. He also creates twodimensional paintings, many of which are inspired by the places in which he has lived. Day’s focus upon depth within simplicity is clear both upon viewing his works and through his artist bio: “I seek to find a pureness of line and form found in nature and often use the human form to depict movement and action. I am looking for an essential truth with simple meaningful form with little embellishment.” Day said he is enthused at the opportunity to show many of his works in one place. Pete Jordan who, accord-

His mediums are oil and watercolor, with which he paints still life and landscape pieces. “Pete’s work does not hit you over the head with color and pizzazz; it enters your bones and evokes a mature appreciation for the splendor of nature,” reads the description of his works on the Brackenwood web site. “They all seem to work well together in terms of style and they’re very accomplished in each of their mediums,” Neff said. “Pete and Ginny both do
a really great job of painting iconic scenes from the Northwest, particularly Whidbey,” she added. Also, Jeff Day has a breadth of knowledge that many sculptors don’t, she said. Neff is expecting many residents to attend the show as well as admiring travelers, some of whom wait yearround for a chance to see the artists’ new works. The Brackenwood Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Monday during the summer and is located at 302 First Street, Langley. The show opens Aug. 2 with an artist reception from 5-7 p.m. opening night.

Starfish are one of Charlie Seablom’s favorite aquatic animals to discover. The pisaster starfish, known officially as a “seastar,” has the traditional five limbs and comes in a wide variety of colors. The orangecolored sunflower sea star grows to be far bigger, can have up to 24 legs and can “run” quite quickly. But as a volunteer for the Island County Beachwatchers organization since 1993, Seablom has started to see changes in his favorite sea creature. “The ones I’m seeing, a very large percentage appear to be diseased,” Seablom said. Over the last year, a number of dying starfish have been reported off the coasts of Whidbey and Camano islands. This year is the first year Seablom has seen any of the “wasted” sea stars on Whidbey. But he’s been on the lookout since the first symptoms were reported in June 2013 by researchers from Olympic National Park. Since then, sea stars along much of the North American Pacific coast are dying in great numbers from this mysterious “star wasting” syndrome. “It’s real sad to see animals die off like that,” Seablom said. “I just hope they find the cause and then maybe a cure before they’re all gone.” Central Whidbey resident Barbara Bennett, program coordinator for the Beach Watchers, said Island County monitors 30 beach locations

Researchers are investigating the influx of dead fish. across Whidbey and Camano islands and is seeing the seastar wasting mainly on the west coasts. The symptoms Beach Watchers are reporting include lesions on the seastar’s skin followed by decay of tissue, which leads to its body falling apart and death, according to sources at the University of California Santa Cruz. The university is taking the lead on seastar wasting tracking on the west coast and locals who sight starfish can report them on the school’s Pacific Rocky Intertidal Monitoring web page. A deflated appearance can precede these signs of the disease and the progression of the wasting disease can be rapid, leading to death within a few days, according to the university. Researchers believe the phenomenon is caused by a bacteria or a virus, but testing

is still being done. “The scientists are really stumped,” Bennett said. “We’re hearing people say there’s piles of them. Here we’re not seeing the usual population.” Bennett said the disease interferes with their hydraulic system and in some cases, limbs have been known to fall off and crawl away on their own. “It’s kind of an alien thing,” Bennett said. The disease is also highly contagious and residents are discouraged from touching or moving any of the sea stars. There have been recorded drop-offs in sea star populations in the past, Bennett

said, but it’s never been in such a broad area or as “expansive” in the dying. Bennett opined that the star wasting could be happening because other things are off balance, such as temperature or chemistry of the ocean. It may also be the result of pollution or climate change. Rapid funding from Washington Sea Grant and National Science Foundation is being used to survey intertidal and near-shore areas of the coastline where researchers say there is little to no information about sea star populations, according to University of California Santa Cruz sources.

ditches on other people’s property through the valley, he said. The area was drained for agricultural use by his grandfather in 1912. Connie Bowers, Island County public works deputy director, said the county deals with occasional conflicts with beavers but not often. “Our approach has differed depending on the site conditions and situation,” Bowers said. In some cases, the county has relocated beaver that were living in a construction area, or installed “beaver deceivers” which allow the water to flow through without disturbing the beavers or their dam. In another instance, the county installed an overflow culvert which limits water build-up in areas that tend to flood. Krug said that it seems like the county doesn’t care or is ignoring the “abnormal amount of beavers in Maxwelton Valley and Glendale.” “I’m not trying to eradicate the beavers,” Krug said. “But we need to manage them when they’re causing a problem.” Krug said that without

expanding the lake, but also creating water views. For Bob Olin, the edge of his backyard that borders the lake was once dominated by poplar and willow trees. They are all now long gone. “There were 10,000 of them right out there,” said Olin, motioning to his backyard. “No, I’m quite happy with the beaver,” he added. Jamie Hartley, critical areas planner for Island County, said county code defers to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for its guidelines. The state allows residents to shoot or relocate beavers as a last resort to other types of mitigations, including the installation of culverts or beaver deceivers. Steve Erickson, with the Whidbey Environmental Action Network, said that shooting or trapping the occasional beaver is not going to really impact the population. However, farmers need to learn to deal with changing conditions and coexist with the beaver population. “The idea of a pretty farm where it’s all static and never going to change is a fantasy,” Erickson said. “People are going to need to change the way they are dealing with nature and work with it.” For more information on state beaver guidelines, visit www.wdfw.wa.gov/liv ing/beavers.html.

People upset As a result of the shortfall, the transit board approved an $800,000 note — basically a bank loan — to pay bills. On top of that,
Rose the board OK’d issuance of a $1.5-million bond to pay the balance of the agency’s matching funds for the new transit facility near Coupeville. Both are supposed to be paid back by next summer. Still, people are upset. The layoff affects 22 percent of Island Transit employees, both office staff and bus operators. The Whidbey News-Times received multiple calls from transit employees who expressed anger, but who declined to talk on the record.
Riders who rely on routes 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, or Saturday service, will also be affected; the routes being changed are in North, Central and South Whidbey. Island Transit is holding a series of community meetings in August to discuss the modifications and suspensions. Members of the agency’s board of directors said they were shocked by the revelation. “I am extremely disappointed and dismayed by this,” Island County Commissioner Helen Price-Johnson, a member of the transit board, wrote in an email. “My heart goes out to the riders, employees and their families impacted by service cuts. It is a big blow to the tradition of community confidence Island Transit has enjoyed.” “Every aspect of this must be investigated, by internal audit and state audit. Also, I want assurance that there was no illegal activity.” Bob Clay, transit board member and Coupeville councilman, announced
