Suspect facing prison for OH robbery By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor man accused of committing a botched bank robbery Nov. 28 may be facing more than three years in prison, court documents indicate. Prosecutors charged Joshua P. Freeman, 32, in Island County Superior Court last month with first-degree robbery. If convicted of the charge, Freeman would face from 31 to 41 months in prison under the standard sentencing range. Freeman is being held in jail in lieu of $100,000 bail. Freeman allegedly rode a bus to the bank, donned a mask made out of a shirt and walked across the street afterward, where police found him rifling through the bag of money, according to the police report. An employee at Whidbey Island Bank on Bayshore Drive called 911 at 10:30 a.m. to report that a masked man walked into the bank with a bag and demanded money. The robber, later identified as Freeman, walked quickly in with a mask on and told two tellers to give him 100s, 50s and 20s; he didn’t display a weapon and none was found on him, the police report states. Freeman allegedly left the bank with $5,900 in his bag, saying he was “sorry” on the way out.

Town of Langley sued for alleged Public Records Act violations By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Former South Whidbey teacher Eric Hood is suing the City of Langley in Island County Superior Court for an alleged violation of the Public Records Act. Hood’s most recent lawsuit is one in a string of legal actions stemming from the loss of his job with the South Whidbey School

District in 2010. The new lawsuit involves Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy, who was the schools’ superintendent at the time of his termination. In December 2013, Hood asked the city to turn over any records or correspondences that mention himself and “please search particularly for any records of communication involving Fred McCarthy,” his

request stated. In his lawsuit, Hood claims that the city withheld documents from this request. “Denying access to requested public records without claiming an exemption or basis for withholding the records is a violation of the Public Records Act,” according to lawsuit. Hood has indicated in correspondence with McCarthy and

the City Council that he believes the behavior demonstrates a pattern of deceit in McCarthy’s leadership, both at the school district and in city government. Correspondence from both Hood and McCarthy was included as exhibits within the lawsuit. After Hood lost his job in 2010, an arbitrator determined that McCarthy and the school district were justified in not renewing

Hood’s teaching contract. Hood then filed a series of open records requests and later sued the district when he didn’t receive the documents fast enough. A judge agreed with him in a decision earlier this year and ordered the district to pay Hood a total of $7,150 for the “district’s untimely production of docuSEE LAWSUIT, A10

Deputies seize meth, guns in early-morning raid

Teenager accused of school shooting threat Boy didn’t have access to guns

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Deputies with the Island County Sheriff’s Office seized about $23,000 worth of drugs during an early morning raid at Scatchet Head on South Whidbey, according to Detective Ed Wallace. The sheriff’s office Hard Entry Arrest Team, which is similar to a SWAT team, served a search warrant at a home on the 3600 block of Casey Street in Clinton at about 5:30 a.m. on Dec. 18. Wallace said the detective found what they believed to be a large amount of methamphetamine in the home. The largest bag weighed about a half of a pound. Deputies said they found smaller amounts of the drug elsewhere. In addition, the deputies seized a large quantity of heroin, as well as LSD and psychedelic mushrooms, Wallace said.

Officers don’t know what the motive was and are still investigating, Green said. “We’re not sure what the catalyst was,” he said. The reported threats

were directed at three students, Green said. The police report indicates that the threats were first reported to police on Dec. 29. The suspect allegedly used a fake name on Facebook and made the threats to shoot students at the school after the holidays. In addition, the boy is suspected of sending instant messages over Facebook to a pre-teen girl asking her to send nude photos and boasting that he was going to shoot someone at the school, the report states. The boy was arrested at

his home Jan. 2 on suspicion of two counts of making threats to kill and one count of cyberstalking. His bail was set at $5,000. Because the suspect is a minor, the newspaper is not identifying him by name. The case was the second gun-related threat made involving North Whidbey Middle School in the last few months. On Halloween, a 14-yearold student was arrested after texting a message that he was going to shoot up a school dance.

Ask the Expert

About Memory Care and Alzheimer’s Disease Mary Gould, ED Keys to Caregiving One in four people will be called upon to provide care for someone with memory loss. This deterioration of a person’s ability creates unique challenges and enormous stress for caregivers. Studies have shown that a proactive program of education and support can minimize stress and provide for a healthier environment for the caregiver and the person with memory loss. Here are key steps for caregivers to take: • Get a thorough examination: If Alzheimer’s is diagnosed during a neurological and psychiatric exam, often the test results will identify the areas of retained cognitive ability. This can help caregivers reinforce a person’s remaining abilities.

• Educate yourself: Learn as much as you can about the disease, the latest treatment options and how it affects daily life. Books, videos, articles and seminars provide information about the causes of memory loss and how to cope with the struggles that memory loss brings. • Attend support groups: Find a support group where you feel comfortable. Not only will you receive excellent, practical advice from others who are going through similar struggles, but you will discover that you are not alone in the feelings and challenges that you face. • Treasure each day: You will have good days and bad, but in each there will be something to treasure. Coping with life’s ups and downs helps you to remember to give thanks for all the good things, both past and present, giving us strength for today.

Museum planning midnight move for PBY By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

To minimize disturbances to traffic flow and local business, a midnight move is being planned this month to wheel a World War II–era aircraft through the heart of downtown Oak Harbor. The move of the PBY-5A Catalina will take place over two days, Jan. 24-25, with the bulk of the seaplane’s journey happening in the wee hours of the morning before the city wakes up. If all goes according to plan, the PBY Catalina will arrive at about 5 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 25, at its destination across Pioneer Way from the PBY-Naval Air Museum. The aircraft is traveling about two miles from the Seaplane Base at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, where it’s rested near the museum’s former location since June of 2010, when it was transported by helicopter from Skagit County Airport. This time, the 15,000pound aircraft is being towed by a farm tractor. “Hey, we’re in Oak Harbor,” said George Love, a board member with the PBY Memorial Foundation and retired navy chief petty officer who’s supervising the move. The PBY-Naval Air Museum moved into the building that once housed

Whidbey Furniture in June, leaving behind the iconic aircraft the museum is named after. Wil Shellenberger, president of the PBY Memorial Foundation, secured a lease to display the aircraft outdoors at the former site of Boyer Chevrolet and worked out the necessary arrangements with the City of Oak Harbor, Navy and Skagit Valley College, among others, to ensure safe passage during the move. Love, who works at the museum, said the seaplane is the constant topic of conversation among guests and can’t wait for its arrival. The aircraft was built in 1943 and was once based at the Seaplane Base in Oak Harbor. “It should help out our museum a lot,” Love said. “There’s a lot of people who want to touch and feel and see that airplane. It’s a piece of history. It used to be based here. It will probably increase the number of people who visit the museum.” Getting the PBY downtown will involve a “multiorganizational effort” with support coming from many sources, Shellenberger said. The first step will be the removal of the PBY’s outer wings to allow it to fit through narrow spaces. Faber Crane of Mount Vernon is donating its services along with

George Love, right, board member with the PBY Memorial Foundation, will supervise a midnight move of the PBY-5A Catalina seaplane Jan. 24-25 through downtown Oak Harbor. The 15,000-pound aircraft will be towed by a farm tractor. 10 volunteers who will work together to remove the wings Saturday, Jan. 10, Shellenberger said. The Oak Harbor Fire Department is allowing the wings to rest on flatbed trucks until the move. The first move will take place the afternoon of Jan. 24, when the airplane will be towed through the lower campus of Skagit Valley College until just before it reaches Pioneer Way. There, the PBY will wait

until the move resumes at midnight. The route travels from Pioneer Way, along Bayshore Drive and back to Pioneer. “The whole move will be very slow,” Shellenberger said. “Probably the fastest the plane will move at any one time will be 3 or 4 miles per hour.” Tight squeezes are anticipated that will require utility companies’ help to avoid overhead lines and tree branches.

Frontier Communications are providing support. The tallest point of the airplane is 20 feet. With outer wings removed, the width is reduced from 104 feet to 42. The fuselage is 64 feet in length. One tractor will tow the airplane while another tractor will follow, attached by straps, to provide braking when needed. “We’re talking about a 15,000-pound aircraft,” Love said. “There are a couple of slopes we’ve got to go down.” About five or six vehicles will be a part of the caravan to provide support and transport other heavy artifacts. Also making the trip will be a 6,500-pound anchor and two 750-pound bombs, Love said. A fence is being erected to encase the plane and other artifacts. A gate will allow visitors in. That is, after their safe

arrival. “Right now, we don’t know what the weather is going to be like,” Love said. “We might be doing this with it pouring down or snow. It’s got to be done. When we get all the people involved, you can’t change the schedule at the last minute.” The PBY Memorial Foundation’s mission is to preserve all aircraft that have been based and flown from NAS Whidbey from 1942 to the present. The foundation’s longterm goal is to purchase property and build a hangarstyle museum in Oak Harbor. But for now, it just wants to ensure one airplane’s safe passage through downtown. “Everything’s on track,” Shellenberger said. “The big event is getting the wings off. We also have to finish the fencing. All of the other pieces appear to be in place.”

OUR VIEWPOINT

Seahawks fever healthy for community spirit Seahawk fever is back — or did it ever leave? Regardless, the mania surrounding the team is a good thing. Sports are often over emphasized in our society, but this is not one of those times. These million-dollar athletes are paying back, drawing the region, including Whidbey Island, together. In this time of political divide, distrust and decaying etiquette, anything that brings humans closer in a positive manner should be cherished and encouraged. The days of unlocked doors are gone. Block parties are rare. Late-night strolls alone aren’t advisable. The Seahawks are providing a healthy common ground we can share. Green and blue bulbs light up porches, “12” banners flap from car windows and neighbors meet each Sunday to watch the Hawks. This is more than jumping on the bandwagon of a successful team. Seahawk spirit has become community spirit. And we have picked the right team to applaud. The Seahawks are greater than a one-hit wonder. Most teams that win the Super Bowl fail to qualify for the playoffs the following season. The incentives are gone and the financial benefits of the achievement often soften the will. Not in Seattle. The Seahawks’ work ethic and desire to continue to be successful, both on and off the field, should be emulated. Richard Sherman rose from a gang-infested community to earn a degree from Stanford; Earl Thomas left the Super Bowl victory celebration to study game film; Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin overcame the stigma of undrafted rejects to become star receivers; and the charity work of the players touches thousands. The Seahawks are the good guys — literally. And they are ours. We come together to marvel at Russell Wilson’s escape acts, Kam Chancellor’s bone-jarring tackles and Marshawn Lynch’s quirks. We rise together to celebrate touchdowns and gripe together about play calling. We cheer a Steven Hauschka kick and jeer a Jim Harbaugh rant. The keys to these statements are “we” and “together.” And we get to share these moments around Bud Lite, nachos and cowboy caviar. Yes, these are special times, and the benefits will last far beyond the next game. Thanks, Seahawks. Twelve is our new lucky number.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Appreciation day

Job of police officer carries many risks Editor, On Jan. 9, 2015, Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc., or COPS, and partnering organizations will unite in support of law enforcement officers nationwide to promote a National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. In light of recent negativity directed toward law enforcement nationally, there is a need to show law enforcement officers that our citizens recognize the difficult and sometimes impossible career they have chosen, in public service to us all. Can you imagine going to work each day and wondering if you’ll survive your shift and see your family that night? Most people can’t. But in law enforcement, this is a fact of life. Each day, 780,000 police officers across our country put a badge on and go to work knowing they may face extremely dangerous situations. Yet, they go to work anyway. Being a law enforcement officer is

not just a job — it is a calling. The pay is low, the hours can be terrible and there is sometimes little appreciation for what you do. Yet, they do it anyway. What the public doesn’t see is the toll law enforcement takes to keep our communities safe. On average, between 105 and 203 officers die in the line of duty each year; 50,000 officers are assaulted in the line of duty each year; 14,000 officers are injured in the line of duty each year; and more 300 officers commit suicide each year. There is no other profession in the world, except possibly the military, where you will find these kinds of statistics. On Jan. 9, we call our nation’s citizens to action in support of law enforcement. Those citizens who appreciate law enforcement and are discouraged about the negative attention being given to law enforcement are encouraged take time on Friday, Jan. 9, to show their support. Our citizens can show their support in a number of ways: n See a police officer? Thank a police officer. n Wear blue clothing in support of law enforcement. n Send a card of support to your

local police department or state agency. n Share a positive story about a positive law enforcement experience on social media. n Ask children in your community write letters in support of law enforcement. n Participate in Project Blue Light. Proudly display your blue light in support of law enforcement. n Organize an event or a rally in support of your law enforcement officers n Advertise your support through local media outlets/billboards.

journalism at its best. The Truthout article is several pages long, making some interesting claims, theories and hypotheses. If all are to be believed, we should be up to our knees in dead birds and the rest flying around aimlessly, cell phones and their transmission towers should be banned, and all communication should be done with two cans and a string. None of which is going to happen. There are also statements of how much flying and how often this may occur. Just because an estimate of how many flights, days and training hours is allocated does not mean they will be there training everyday. Claims are made that flight levels will be at higher altitudes, which is correct, and, yes, mountains do rise, and unless the access road goes to the top of the Olympics, they will be within authorized flight space as they are now. I would also like to see some pictures of the person’s house who claimed the Navy was flying low-level supersonic flights and blew out their windows. As far as my noise statements, I too live under the flight path and have for more 40 years. When it’s “our turn” to be blessed with the sound of freedom, you live with it. No one forced you to buy in the flight path. I appreciate the fact that the commanding officer of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station is trying to appease those who are skeptical of the Navy and their intentions, but no matter how much information they publish, nor how open they are with flight schedules, there will be those who want the base closed and its financial security for the thousands who work there and those that benefit from the base gone.

Need to expand IT service to Boeing Editor, Community Transit is planning on installing a high tech frequent service SWIFT bus route from Bothell to Boeing Everett. This is good news for Whidbey. Island Transit can expand service on the Island Transit No. 1 so that, every 30 minutes, it gets on the ferry boat and goes from Oak Harbor to Boeing, intersecting with the new SWIFT service. Already there is a large number of Boeing employees using van/carpools. More important, it means that now the entire island will have access to the entire Sound Transit System for Snohomish, King and Pierce counties. Plus it will give excellent North-South Transit service for the entire Island with 30-minute service all the way to the last ferry run. What the island needs to do is talk to the state Legislature and, yes, even consider a small local tax increase. The benefits of such an expanded No. 1 Island Transit will reduce unsafe traffic congestion and offer a new, low-cost alternative to people who can’t drive or can’t afford to drive cars. It would also stimulate tourism on the island. It is good for business. When people spend less money on gasoline, that means they have more to spend in local stores. Having the bus get on the ferry boat would free up some parking slots for drivers. Expand the No. 1 Island Transit bus route. Have it get on the ferry boat, go to Boeing and tie into the rest of the rapid transit system of Eastern Washington. It is worth it. Martin Nix Seattle

Wildcat swim team earns 9 firsts in win By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Photo by Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times

Dakota Powers won two individual events and swam on two winning relays to lead Oak Harbor over Monroe.

PREP ROUNDUP 4 Wildcats reach wrestling finals

Producing four finalists and two champions, the Oak Harbor High School wrestling team placed eighth in the 30-team Everett Classic Saturday, Jan. 3. Jeremy Vester (138 pounds) and Jackson Constant (285) won individual titles, and Christian Bertram (126) and Mark Johnston (152) placed second. Oak Harbor dominated the 285 division. In addition

to Constant’s win, Tyler Adamson and Sam Zook tied for third. As a team, the Wildcats scored 92.5 points; Everett won with 158. It was pretty much all-ornothing for the Wildcats. Oak Harbor was the only school to send four wrestlers to the finals. However, only one other Oak Harbor wrestler outside the finalists and the 285 trio won a match. Nate Mecom (182) picked up one win in the consolation bracket.

Oak Harbor also did not enter wrestlers in three weight classes. “We are going to look to our underclassmen to step up more in the coming weeks and help us climb to a higher spot,” coach Peter Esvelt said. Oak Harbor (3-3) opens Wesco North action this week with its first home match at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 8, with MarysvillePilchuck (5-3).

Bad 2nd quarter sinks Coupeville A miserable second quarter haunted the Coupeville

Powered by wins in nine of the 11 events, the Oak Harbor High School swim team topped Monroe 98-68 at John Vanderzicht Pool Monday, Jan. 5. Dakota Powers and Micah Geist paced the Wildcats with four wins each. Powers won the 100-meter freestyle (1:01.47) and 100 breaststroke (1:22.29), while Geist took the 100 backstroke (1:08.14) and 200 individual medley (time not reported). The pair teamed with Eric Jensen and Derek Volk to capture the 200 medley relay (2:07.29) and with Volk and Joe Gorman to win the 400 free relay (4:22.52). Gorman was also a double win-

Coupeville led 8-5 after the opening frame, then the Braves outscored the Wolves 17-6 in the second period to go up 22-14 at halftime. From there, the margin stayed about 10 for the remainder of the game. “We had the opportunity to win,” coach Anthony Smith said, “but we didn’t take advantage of it.” The Wolves had 18 turnovers, many off unforced errors, according to Smith. Wiley Hesselgrave and Aaron Trumbull each scored 10 points for Coupeville; Dalton Martin had seven;

Volk added a win in the 50 free (28.24). “We only had 13 eligible swimmers, which was disappointing; however, I was much more impressed with the team spirit and effort displayed in the meet,” coach Erin Bull said. “Due to the speed of the meet, some athletes had a hard time recovering between events. “We had quite a few personal records in the 50 free.

The Wolves had five more turnovers than points in the first half as the undefeated Braves raced to a 37-13 lead at the break.

The teams were tied at 6 midway through the first period, then La Conner’s press started to take its toll on Coupeville. The eighthranked Braves finished the period on a 10-0 run and continued to roll in the second quarter, outscoring Coupeville 21-7. While the Wolves were committing 18 turnovers in the first half, the Braves had only three. The Braves (9-0) led 51-20 heading into the final period. One bright note, Coupeville outrebounded the Braves 29-28 with Makana Stone grabbing 11 boards. Stone also led the Wolves in scoring with 13 points.

Nancy and Brian Cedar, owners of Greenbank Store & Grille, are realizing the rewards of hard work after three years in business.

With the iconic store remaining a part of the Cedars’ business plan, locals in Greenbank couldn’t be happier. The store includes a deli, where sandwiches are prepared by Jan Faulkner and others. Upstairs is a restaurant that serves lunch and dinner. During winter, the restaurant is open Thursday through Sunday with dinner only served on Thursdays. Historic Greenbank photos cover the walls, as well as images of family and citizens dear to the Cedars and the community. Brian Cedar is the head chef in the restaurant that provides a lunch and dinner menu that consists of “comfort food in a comfortable environment” with popular items such as fish and chips, half-pound hamburgers and “Cookie’s Special Reuben Sandwich” to go along with dinner dishes that feature pasta, seafood and traditional meats. Cedar once owned a small restaurant in Hawaii and worked in several restaurants

in his younger years but hadn’t worked in the industry for three decades until now. He and his wife were semi-retired and living in Sammamish when they started looking for a restaurant venture and were on their way to visit a prospective site in Coupeville when a vacant and near-empty Greenbank Store caught their attention from the highway. “I looked over and thought, ‘How sad that that old store has been shut down, because it is such a soulful place,’ ” Brian Cedar said. The Cedars bought the store and upstairs restaurant called the 1904 Public House

from Kate Buzard and Amy Wheeler; however, they still lease the building from longtime store owners Tom and Mary Coupe. When the Cedars held a grand re-opening on Feb. 29, 2012, the Coupes were their featured guests. “We thought leap year was a wonderful day to open because it was such a leap for us,” Nancy Cedar said. However, the landing has made it worth it. During the busiest time of the year in the summer, the store and restaurant employ as many as 20 people. The Cedars have settled into life on Whidbey and

now can’t imagine being anywhere else. They have two daughters who work in the business; Robin Cedar, the assistant store manager, and Julietta Cedar, who assists in various tasks and is the family artist. Julietta, 24, who is autistic, has been warmly embraced by customers. “Our community is absolutely charmed by her,” Nancy Cedar said. As the Cedars are with their new community. “There are so many people who come up and say, ‘We are so grateful you are here,’ ” he said. “It chokes me up a little bit.”

LAWSUIT CONTINUED FROM A1 ments.” McCarthy said Tuesday that Hood’s determination to find fault with the decision is “beyond persistent — it’s obsessed.” McCarthy said he believes that the school district under his leadership “provided him everything we were legally advised to do” but that Hood’s repeated requests likely became a “source of frustration” for the district. McCarthy said Hood’s pattern of filing ongoing requests is a good example of how school districts and city governments can become “beleaguered” with

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

filling some public records requests. “It’s amazing how much time it takes when you feel like you’re doing the right thing,” McCarthy said. “It consumes tons of peoples’ time.” Hood’s lawsuit also takes issue with a “secure confidential file” kept by McCarthy that Hood believes contains the documents he requested. Hood claims in his lawsuit that “the city silently withholds all records” contained in the “confidential” file. In a December 2013 email sent by McCarthy to the City Council, McCarthy said that most of Hood’s requested documents are “in a secure confidential file” that he maintains but that he would

release the documents “within a reasonable timeline in January 2014.” McCarthy also told City Council members via correspondence to keep in mind that any “communications on this matter may be discoverable in the future.” Given Hood’s history for requesting documents, McCarthy said Tuesday that keeping a file containing documents concerning Hood is simply a proactive step in dealing with someone litigious. He added that all documents contained in that file have been given to Hood and all future documents will also be available. Hood declined to comment.

FEVER CONTINUED FROM A1 p.m. Everyone who shows up in their Seahawks gear is invited to be in the aerial photo. “We’re just trying to get all the Seahawk fans that are local together and have a good time and show our support for the team that we all love,” Sanders said. “We thought that would be a good way to keep it local and show our support to our community here.” Robyn Kolaitis, owner of Whidbey Party Store, said she is preparing for added business that Seahawks success will bring to her store. “We’re stocked up already. We’re ready,” Kolaitis said. “We hope to see some parties this weekend.” Kolatis said her store is ordering additional

Seahawks-themed items for the coming weeks in anticipation of the football team’s continued advancement toward the big game. “We actually sold out of green and blue balloons, the Seahawk balloons, the football balloons last year,” she said. “Twelfth man flags just flew out the door.” Many people wait until the last minute to place balloon orders, Kolatis said. Last year, she and her two employees spent the entire Saturday before the Super Bowl filling balloon orders. Last year was “crazy, fun and busy,” she said. Oak Harbor’s Albertson’s store also carries a supply of Seahawks gear. Manager Eugenia Jones said she’s noticed that sales of T-shirts and scarves is already picking up speed. It’s not the case yet with the party supplies. She said many people wait until the

last minute to buy those items. The store, however, is ordering playoff gear and new National Football Conference championship gear. “Last year was crazier than this year,” Jones said. “We couldn’t get the boxes open without people hovering around us.” “I’m excited to see so many groups get into it again this year,” Kolaitis said. Penny Perka, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County, beneficiary of Louie-G’s rally proceeds, said she is excited for the postseason games and what they mean for the community. “I’m excited,” she said. “I’m excited for the year. I like the idea that people are excited about the Seahawks and also, they’ve taken their excitement and … are supporting local charities and kids.”

S. Whidbey schools shine light on record requestors By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

Asking the South Whidbey School District for public records comes with a new price tag these days — your name, the information sought and the time and cost to fulfill the request posted for all the world to see on the district’s website. Beginning late last month, such details were included in a specially created document

linked to online school board agendas. The move comes in the wake of years of litigation with a single Clinton man, a former teacher who officials say has cost the district hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees and who has besieged administrators with what school leaders characterize as broad and time-consuming information requests. Top district officials deny

the online posting policy is retaliatory, but rather is meant to keep the school board informed about the burden requests, both legitimate and superfluous, place on employees. “It’s really just to give the board the transparency of knowing where staff is spending its time and resources,” said Jo Moccia, district superintendent. School board members

add, however, that there are problems with the state’s Open Public Records Act, specifically that its lack of limitations make it ripe for abuse. Making public who is asking for documents and the cost to district taxpayers, is a way to address the issue. Those with reasonable requests have nothing to hide, they say. “I find it to be the per-

To all our Linds friends & associates, Some positive changes are coming soon and we wanted you to hear directly from your friends at Linds Freeland Pharmacy. At the end of the business day on Friday, January 16th, 2015, Rite Aid will be taking over the prescription, health and beauty aids, cosmetic and several other departments at Linds. Linds will be moving next door to the space between our current pharmacy and Flowers by the Bay. We are currently working with our landlords regarding an expansion of the current space. We are working closely with Rite Aid to make sure there is a seamless transfer of all your prescription information and needs. You can be confident you will be taken care of by the same folks who have been helping you for so many years at Linds. They’ll be wearing new outfits, but the same people will be providing you with the professional care you have learned to expect from Linds Freeland Pharmacy. As we have established our partnership with Rite Aid we have found them to be fair and cooperative. We are sure your relationship with Rite Aid will be equally satisfying. These positive changes will provide you with more options and choices: Prescription service from the pharmacy staff you know and trust utilizing the most current pharmacy technology, more categories of merchandise to choose among from Rite Aid, and the same service and goods you have always enjoyed at Linds. We hope you share our excitement as we venture into this new era. As always, thank you for your loyal patronage and friendship.

Sincerely, The Linds family

fect response … If someone has a legitimate request they should own it,” Director Linda Racicot said. “We’re just making people responsible,” echoed Director Rocco Gianni, a board member and an advocate for the inclusion of such information online. “With rights come responsibility,” he said.

Legal expenses The move is tied into ongoing litigation with Eric Hood, whose employment contract was not renewed by the district in 2010. Hood sued, claiming he was let go without cause and later sued again for alleged public records violations. He is presently fighting two separate battles with the school district, one in U.S. District Court and another in Island County Superior Court. Most recently, he filed suit against Langley and Mayor Fred McCarthy in Island County Superior Court for alleged public records act violations. McCarthy is Moccia’s predecessor and was school district superintendent in 2010 when Hood’s contract was not renewed. Hood declined to be interviewed for this story, or the story about his lawsuit with McCarthy. Racicot, Gianni and Moccia also declined to talk about the ongoing litigation, but each noted that the cost of such legal battles and complying with records requests over the past four years has been expensive and played a role in the decision to create a special document highlighting who is making requests and their cost. The exact figure remains unclear, but according to Moccia, the district’s legal bills are “in the neighborhood of $400,000.” “That’s not all one case, but much of it is Hood,” she said. The legal budget for the 2014-2015 school year alone is $175,000, all of which is general fund money that could otherwise be directed toward students.

An old problem South Whidbey’s challenges with the state’s record laws are nothing new, as small junior taxing districts and large municipalities alike have grappled with the problem for years. While most are able to keep up with the demand placed on resources, in rare and extreme cases it’s led some public agencies to near collapse. The tiny Eastern Washington town of Mesa

considered bankruptcy or disincorporation in 2009 after a judge ruled it had violated the state’s records laws, according to the Seattle Times. Fines made up nearly one-third of the town’s annual budget, the newspaper reported. It’s enough of an issue that in 2012 the Legislature considered a bill to limit the reach of the open public records act and lessen the burden on struggling governments. Among its sponsors was Mary Margaret Haugen, the former and longtime state senator in District 10. Open government advocates objected, saying the proposal would dull the effectiveness of the records act to the benefit of government officials. The bill was not passed.

S. Whidbey’s solution While legislative changes have yet to occur, South Whidbey school officials say they aren’t alone in their decision to publicly identify requestors. The district has had the policy framework in place since early 2014 but only moved forward after Gianni suggested they use the same reporting form as the Monroe School District. Also, it waited until district attorneys had confirmed the practice was legal and didn’t breech state privacy laws. Officials with the Coupeville and Oak Harbor school districts did confirm that neither identifies people who make records requests, but that they aren’t afflicted with large and numerous records requests. “If we get four in a year, that’s a lot,” said Janet Wodjenski, public records officer for Coupeville. “Some years we don’t get any at all.” She added that she could see how someone with a “bee in their bonnet” could create a large workload and that she doesn’t see any problem with including such information in online board agendas because of the possible impacts to district business. Lance Gibbon, superintendent in Oak Harbor, didn’t weigh in on whether such a practice was appropriate, but he did say he can see how large requests could be problematic. Despite few requests, last year an out-of-state company asked for information concerning district supply orders for commercial purposes. It amounted to 54,000 pages of records, all of which had to be reviewed by an employee. “It took one person five days of work,” Gibbon said.
