Homeowners sue over noise disclosure By Janis Reid Staff Reporter

Two Coupeville homeowners have sued two Whidbey Island real estate companies claiming they did not disclose the dangers of jet noise at the time of purchase. “You have a statute that’s intended to inform homebuyers,” said Steve Skalet, attorney for the plaintiffs Monday. “The disclosure wasn’t being furnished with the full information … it’s about getting all the material information to make an educated decision.” The lawsuit was filed against Windermere Real Estate and RE/MAX Acorn Properties. Filed Nov. 18 in Island County Superior Court, the lawsuit alleges that the real estate agents’ “deceptive acts or practices have occurred in their trade or businesses and were and are capable of deceiving a substantial portion of the public.” Only two plaintiffs are identified by name, but the class-action suit asks for injunctive relief for anyone who purchased real estate located in the county’s Airport Environs Mapped Impacted Areas on or after May 11, 1992. The plaintiffs named in the suit are Jonathan Deegan, who said in court documents he purchased his Coupeville home through RE/ MAX in 2006, and Alice O’Grady, who said she purchased her Coupeville home through Windermere in 2011. Neither could be reached for comment by press time. “I have not seen the complaint yet, so I cannot comment on the specifics of this case, but I am aware that some off-island and outof-state attorneys have been urging homeowners to sue Realtors, claiming they were not told about aircraft noise when they bought their homes,” said Eric Mitten, spokesman for Windermere in Oak Harbor and Coupeville, in an emailed statement Friday. “In our company, we make sure prospective buyers are aware of the airplane noise. We talk about the airplane noise. We also use standard written disclosure forms printed by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, which provides us with the forms most Realtors use in residential real estate transactions in the state. “I’m astonished that anyone who has spent any time on Whidbey Island would say they were not aware of the noise,” Mitten said. Terri Neilon, owner of RE/MAX Acorn Properties, said she is afraid “the litigation could be divisive and help fuel efforts by those who want NAS Whidbey severely cut back or closed.”

Greening of coupeville Town rings in holidays; mayor almost melts By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

While most people were basking in the warm winter evening during the Greening of Coupeville Saturday, it caused a bit of an issue for one Greening regular. As Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard made her way down the parade route on foot in her fluffy white snowman costume, she started to overheat. Conard said she made it to just in front of Whidbey General Hospital before she had to pull off the parade route because she thought she might pass out. Rather than drop out, Conard made a split-second decision, hopping in the back of the wagon her husband was pulling with a John Deere tractor. Frosty made it through the parade after all. Other entries from various businesses

and community organizations continued down the parade route, delighting the crowds with candy, performances and song. Santa, AKA Paul Messner, brought up the rear of the parade in his lighted sleigh. After the parade, carolers entertained the masses from the porch of Anchorage Inn, singing classics and variations of classics like a Coupeville version of “Let It Snow” changed to “Let It Blow.” As darkness descended, Cook’s Corner Park came alive with thousands of twinkling lights. After the customary “oohs” and “awws” crowds made their way down to Coupeville Wharf. The Oak Harbor Yacht Club sailed by as part of its Lighted Boat Parade. Boats cruised by as passengers waved, played music and interacted with the crowds on the wharf.

Museum to unveil canoe exhibit By Ron Newberry Staff Reporter

As soon as the Island County Historical Society Museum was built in 1991, the basement started filling up with history. The basement was immediately designated as storage space to collect artifacts and other historic remnants and it’s remained that way ever since. Well, until now. Museum workers have been busy clearing out the basement to make room for a new permanent Native American exhibit to shine light on Whidbey Island’s earliest inhabitants. The 1,400-square foot area will feature a large collection of stored-away pieces that represent the tribes that lived along the beaches of Penn Cove for about 10,000 years. Special focus will be on the Lower Skagit people now of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, and the Snohomish, now part of the Tulalip Tribes. Castellano is hoping the new “Native Peoples” exhibit will be open to the public by early January. “History never sleeps. It keeps building and building,” said Rick Castellano, director of the Coupeville museum. “We have 10,000 years of history we’re talking about. Fourteen thousand square feet is not big enough.” Castellano said a large permanent exhibit for Native Americans seemed long overdue, especially considering that white settlers’ history on Whidbey pales in comparison. White settlement dates back to the mid 19th century. Castellano didn’t want to allow a photograph for publication to spoil the exhibit’s centerpiece. It is a restored Native American canoe built in

The ancient canoe, built in the 1850s, used to be bolted to the roof of a shed on the current museum grounds. the 1850s that rests in front of an enormous, lit panoramic of Penn Cove. The merged photographs were taken by noted Coupeville photographer M. Denis Hill, who used editing tools to remove homes, giving the vantage point Native Americans would have seen hundreds of years ago before white settlers built houses in the area. “This is our ‘wow factor,’” Castellano said proudly, turning on a sound system that provided soft splashes of water. The 28-foot long Snakelum Family Canoe once belonged to Chief Snetlun of the Lower Skagits. When his grandson, Charlie Snakelum, passed away in 1934, the canoe came to Coupeville and was put on display in a canoe shed on the grounds of the present-day county museum. The cedar canoe later sustained considerable damage after being bolted to the roof of the shed. It took extensive restoration work by three different wood-

carvers, Gordon Grant, Jim Short and Steven C. Brown, over three years to save the canoe. The Swinomish and Tulalip tribes and Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival contributed to the restoration project. “It was just about ready to fall apart,” Castellano said. The restored canoe was loaned to the Swinomish and put on display in the lobby of the Swinomish Casino & Lodge for more than a month this summer. The canoe originally was carved from a red cedar tree estimated to be 600 and 800 years old. “They did a good job on the restoration,” said Theresa Trebon, historian and tribal

archivist for the Swinomish. “It was in pretty bad shape. It was outside so long. I think it’s wonderful that they’re putting the exhibit in the basement. I think it’s an intregal part of Whidbey Island’s past.” She said most people’s knowledge of Native Americans on Whidbey is isolated to the much-publicized murder of Col. Isaac Ebey by a raiding tribe from Southeast Alaska in 1857. “What’s great about it (the exhibit) is it goes beyond the whole Isaac Ebey Indian thing,” Trebon said. “It gives the public a chance to learn a much more complex, interesting story, which is great.”

Debra Ann Swaer Debra Ann Swaer died Nov. 26, 2014, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Deb was born in Hastings, Neb., Dec. 15, 1954, to Raymond and Wilma Engelhardt. She eventually landed on Whidbey Island in Washington state, where she established a life full of friends and cohorts.

Colo., and Wilma Krebsbach, of Lawrence, Neb.; her brother, William Engelhardt, of Wichita, Kan.; her sister, Rebecca Engelhardt of Alma, Neb.; and her beloved two nephews and three nieces. Deb was a super secretary/legal assistant who worked for Coupeville attorneys Molly and Joan McPherson from 1986 to this year, 2014, a span of 28 years. She was loyal, strong and positive in her professional life and fought her private war against cancer with the same strong characteristics. Deb loved gardening, salmon fishing, cats and dogs, and little kids. She was loved by all and will be profoundly missed.

Vinca can cause major problems As a gardener, I’ll admit to harboring ill will toward some of the plants that crop up in the flower beds I’m tending. There is only so much shot weed you can pull without also wanting to pull out your own hair. toni grove On the other hand, as sowin ’n’ the trowel someone with an expensive college degree in herbal sciences, I also tend to give a smidgen of leeway to many of the native and introduced medicinal plants I find while weeding. Some of those don’t end up in the compost bin quite as readily as their fellows. In fact, I will sometimes make a mental note of their location and return later to harvest them. Still, there are a few plants — a very few! — I just wish would find a black hole and jump in. Take for instance vinca. The name sounds so innocent, like something you’d name a tiny Russian puppy with enormous, soulful eyes. The same with its common name, periwinkle. Who could hate such a sweet-sounding thing with such a cute, little flower? Well, I, for one. There was a patch of vinca planted over the lids to the septic tank when we moved into our home many years ago. It took me forever to finally eradicate it. Even after I thought I’d found the last little creeping root, another wee plant would pop up. It was like that Whack-A-Mole game at the arcade. Vinca major (greater periwinkle) and Vinca minor (lesser periwinkle) are Old World introductions that are primarily used as ground covers. In other words, they’re intended to cover a multitude of sins in the landscape. The problem is they can easily morph into a fiasco that quickly outstrips the original dilemma they were planted to solve. Vinca will cover up that bald spot in the landscape you’re trying to fill in and it will do it effortlessly and without work on your part. Then it will take over your flower beds, spread into the lawn, creep up onto the deck and turn each of your planters into a solid mass of vinca roots. That laugh you hear at night will be the vinca plotting a hostile takeover of your entire landscape, maybe the known world. It’s a member of the Apocynaceae, or dogbane, family, many of whose members are poisonous. Looking at it, however, you might not at first imagine it’s related to oleander, plumeria and those horrifically spiny Pachypodium trees found in Madagascar. Just say no to vinca, I’m begging you. It’s like putting a shark in the bathtub with the kids. Simple as that. I know I shouldn’t take umbrage at a plant. They’re just doing what they were created to do, after all. At least I’m not alone in holding a grudge against some things green and leafy. As President George H.W. Bush famously proclaimed in 1990 when he banned it from both the White House and Air Force One, “I do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m president of the United States, and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli!’’ Hey, George, I’ll trade ya some vinca for your broccoli.

Watch Your Six, Island Transit Editor, I just read your editorial characterizing Mayor Scott Dudley’s sortie to get new leadership for Island Transit as “inappropriate.” No, it’s inappropriate for Bob Clay to fail to right Island Transit and cast blame on State Auditor’s Office employees for his failures Let me suggest that if Coupeville doesn’t want to hear from SedroWoolley and Oak Harbor about OLF Coupeville and Island Transit — both of who are funded at least in part by national taxes — well then Coupeville can forfeit all American, Washington state and Island County tax support for

Coupeville. Remember, every grant Coupeville and Island Transit receives is at least partially paid by taxes confiscated outside of Coupeville city limits. As such, all Americans have a right to speak up since all taxation is confiscation and Americans have a right to taxation with representation. So now that efforts to muffle Mayor Dudley to represent those “understandably alarmed” folks have borne fruit, be unsurprised if some blogging Oak Harbor residents stridently supporting Mayor Dudley utilize RCW 36.57A.160 (3) to place the dissolution of the Public Transportation Benefit Area (PTBA) governing Island Transit on the ballot via getting petitions signed by “10 percent of the qualified voters” of Island

County within “a 90-day period as designated by the petition sponsors.” Considering the conservative base is more reliable than the progressive base in off years like 2015, negative campaigning will actively suppress progressive votes — and with little public support for Island Transit. 2015 is the ripest time to campaign to dissolve Island Transit, especially if the Tri-County Connector is eliminated, therefore costing Island Transit my support and businesses start publicly wondering where that .9 percent sales tax rate is going. … An angry electorate may just terminate Island Transit.

We were clicking on all cylinders.” Smith said everyone “played tough” and that the Wolves received good guard play from Martin, Johnson and Walstad. Coupeville scoring: Martin, 14; Walstad, 14; Risen Johnson, 14; Curtin, 6; Wiley Hesselgrave, 6; Aaron Trumbull, 6; C.J. Smith, 4; Ryan Griggs, 4; Matt Shank, 3; Gabe Wynn, 1. The losses to Meridian and South Whidbey followed a similar pattern. The Wolves were in both games midway through the second quarter then big runs by the Trojans and Falcons turned the games. Coupeville trailed by only five to Meridian when the Trojans rattled off a 29-3 run that went into the third quarter. Coupeville led 24-19 at South Whidbey, then the Fal-

The girls began the season by winning 47-23 at South Whidbey Tuesday, Dec. 2, and at home 47-31 Friday, Dec. 5, against Darrington. Two home losses followed: 52-51 to Bellevue Christian Saturday, Dec. 6, and 59-44 to Mount Baker Monday, Dec. 8. In the win over South Whidbey, Makana Stone finished with 17 points, 18 rebounds, three steals, three assists and two blocks. Five players scored in each of the first two periods as the Wolves took control early. Coupeville scoring: Julia Myers, 8; Monica Vidoni, 5; Maddi Strasburg, 2 (3 assists); Kacie Kiel, 4, Hailey Hammer, 4; Wynter Thorne, 4; Mia Littlejohn, 3. Against Darrington, Stone scored nine points in the second period and the Wolves held the Loggers to just two in the period to begin the rout.

Coupeville girls open with lopsided wins

The Coupeville High School winter sports teams venture into the Olympic League for the first time when the Wolves begin conference play this Friday, Dec. 12. The boys basketball team will host Klahowya at 4:45 p.m. while the girls travel to Silverdale to meet Klahowya at 3:30 p.m. The Coupeville boys began the season by winning only one of five nonleague games but are the only Olympic League 1A team with a win as of Monday, Dec. 8. Klahowya is 0-3 and Port Townsend and Chimacum are 0-2. The Coupeville girls are also the only 1A league team to win this winter. The Wolves are 2-2 while Klahowya and Port Townsend are winless in three games and Chimacum in two. When the Coupeville boys lost at Mount Baker Monday, Dec. 8, it finished a string of five games in eight days. Now the Wolves will play only two games over the next 24 days. After the Klahowya game, they will travel to Orcas Island Dec. 19 and are off until going to La Conner Jan. 2. The girls host Sequim at 3:45 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, then follow the same schedule as the boys.

Littlejohn, 4 (3 steals, 3 assists); McKenzie Bailey, 4; Kiel, 2. In the Bellevue Christian game, the Wolves jumped to an 8-0 lead, fell behind, rallied to retake the lead late in the fourth quarter then finally fell to the Vikings. Coupeville sank only three of 11 free throws while BC hit 16 of 22. Coupeville scoring: Stone, 14 (6 rebounds, steals, 7 assists); Kiel, 10 (5 assists); Vidoni, 9; Hammer, 6; Myers, 5 (6 rebounds); Bailey, 4; Thorne, 3. Mount Baker’s two Emilys, Brandland and Yost, dominated the second half to carry the Mountaineers to the win. The game was tied at 23 at the half. Down 12-7 after the first quarter, the Wolves scored 16 points in the second to even the score. Brandland scored 16 points (24 total) in the third quarter and Yost 14 (22 total) in the fourth as Mount Baker steadily pulled away. Coupeville scoring: Stone, 11; Littlejohn, 9; Thorne, 8; Myers, 4; Kiel, 4; Vidoni, 4; Bailey, 2; Hammer, 2.

cons finished the first half on a 20-2 run. South Whidbey also hit 29 of 37 free throws; Coupeville was just 4-for-11. Bellevue Christian’s crisp passing dissected the Coupeville defense like “a surgeon,” Smith said, and the Vikings slowly pulled away. Mount Baker scored at least 20 points in each of the first three quarters to cruise by the Wolves. Coupeville scoring versus Meridian: Hesselgrave, 13; Trumbull, 6; Walstad, 5; Shank, 4; Smith, 4, Curtin, 2; Johnson, 1.

Holiday Traditions Town celebrates with day of holiday fun and festivities

Megan Hansen photos

Groups from all over Central Whidbey participated in the annual Greening of Coupeville celebration. Groups such as Gifts From the Heart food bank pushed carts along the parade route, collecting donation and performing drill routines with carts. Other groups included local businesses, 4H groups and service groups such as the Lions clubs. The Oak Harbor Yacht Club also cruised by with its Lighted Boat Parade.

Disclosure: Homeowners file lawsuit against Whidbey real estate agencies From page 1 “We care about our clients and certainly make sure they are aware of the noise,” Neilon said. “We also tell clients to do their own due diligence — check it out, talk to others and go to the property and listen to the planes flying overhead. Planes from NAS Whidbey are very effective at making people aware of their

presence.” Island County Realtors updated their version of Form 22W in January through the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. A long-used, one-paragraph noise disclosure was deemed incomplete by Island County Planning Director David Wechner, who issued a memo that spurred the change.

In their lawsuit, both Deegan and Grady said they received only the “inadequate Form 22W” at the time they purchased their homes. The lawsuit was filed by the Seattle firm of Terrell, Marshall, Daudt & Willie, which sent a letter in May seeking possible plaintiffs. While only two people are named, the suit states that the class will be “in the hundreds

or thousands.” A contention of the litigation is that, even though the noise disclosure was updated to mirror Island County code, Realtors are allegedly still not providing buyers with the county’s map of the impacted areas. The county’s Airport and Aircraft Operations Noise Disclosure Ordinance, which contains the required lan-

guage, also states that the impacted areas are identified on the “attached map.” In a rough drawing, the county’s map shows all of Whidbey Island north of Lake Hancock as the “impacted areas.” It also includes areas surrounding the Camano and South Whidbey air parks. Failure to include both the map and the language “about

the magnitude and timing of military flight operations as part of pre-sale notices” in real estate transactions is “unfair” and “offends public policy,” the attorneys said in their lawsuit. The lawyers are asking a judge to approve their class action status, damages, a modification of the disclosure forms, attorneys fees and any other relief deemed proper.

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.
