Island Transit board sees new leadership By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record
Kate Daniel / The Record
Carol Stuart, Kenedi, Titan and Jennifer Cambra lack permanent housing and were staying at the Harbor Inn through Christmas. Families like theirs will be among those counted in the annual point in time homeless count.
Homelessness remains a problem on South End County, private groups to quantify issue with count By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record All Jennifer Cambra wanted for Christmas was a home for her family, enough gas to drive her ailing mother to the doctor and a sense of security for her 10-year-old twins. A series of unfortunate and unforeseeable events had transpired rendering the family of four — Cambra, her elderly mother Carol Stuart and twins Kenedi and Titan — homeless and penniless. “Everything just sort of collapsed on me,” Cambra said. Individuals like Cambra will be amongst those counted during South Whidbey’s annual homeless point-intime count. The nationwide event takes place on one day each January and is an effort to take a count of the number of individuals who are without permanent shelter within each community. South Whidbey’s count will take place on Jan. 29. Specific duties will be delegated to volunteers in order to attempt to get the most accurate count possible. Some will ride the bus, asking riders to fill out a voluntary survey. Others will go to known campsites or gathering places
while some will be stationed at Bayview Hall from 1-6 p.m., offering free meals, back rubs, clothing, hair cuts and other services. The count’s primary purpose is to get an idea of just how many people are homeless, but it’s also a chance to learn more about why people are struggling, people like Cambra and her family. In their case, they are fairly new residents hit with a series of problems that left them living in a leaky trailer. According to aid organizations like the Suitcase Clinic, “Homelessness is a temporary condition that people fall into when they cannot afford to pay for a place to live, or when their current home is unsafe or unstable.” Cambra had purchased a fifth wheeler with what little money she had left upon arriving on South Whidbey. But the relief to have “kind of a home” of their own was short-lived. Heavy rainfall caused the mobile home to leak “like no other” during the night, rendering it uninhabitable and severely water damaged. “We were scared,” said Cambra as she tearfully recalled her attempts to remedy
Island Transit is changing gears for 2015. After a year marked by controversy and trouble, the transportation agency’s staff and board of directors are going full speed ahead with what may turn out to be some major changes later this year. Staff members came up with a plan to restore some of the service that was lost because of surprise budget problems in 2014. They will hold a series of community meetings to gather public input beginning Jan. 26. In addition, the five-person board of directors has a new chairman who promises, or
at least leans toward, quick action. The largely new board met this past Friday for the first time this year and adopted an ambitious plan that includes a serious look into charging fares on busses and even a discussion about working with another transit agency to take over service on Camano Island. Oak Harbor Councilman Rick Almberg and Island County commissioners Jill Johnson and Rick Hannold sat as new members on the board; they replace Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley and commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Aubrey SEE TRANSIT, A20

the situation. “We couldn’t even sleep on a corner of the bed, the blankets were so soaked,” said Cambra as she wiped tears from her eyes. Cambra and the family sought shelter in a friend’s trailer until the Readiness to Learn Foundation helped them move, temporarily, into the motel for the holidays. “I can’t express how much of a desperate situation we’re in right now,” said Cambra, during a Christmas interview. “We’re pretty much in a crisis.” The fifth wheeler was permanently damaged, Cambra said. The floors have holes, the walls are water damaged and mold-ridden. The floors are unstable and rotting. “I’m more stressed about my kids and my mom than I am myself,” said Cambra. Cambra first spoke with Gail LaVassar, executive director of the Readiness to Learn Foundation, when LaVassar called to schedule an appointment for Titan and Kenedi to come by the Holiday House for Christmas gifts.
A few months after winning re-election, Congressman Rick Larsen touted transportation as his focus this year and maintained his advocacy of NAS Whidbey Island during a visit to Langley Saturday. Rep. Larsen, D-Everett, swung by the Village by the Sea as part of his first community coffee. The talk was also a chance to hear from constituents of the Second Congressional District, which spans San Juan and Island counties and includes parts of Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties. Larsen gave a short presentation of things he’s working on, such as the bill being criticized for “gutting” the Dodd-Frank financial reforms, the Keystone pipeline, immigration and campaign finance reform. Larsen supported the financial reforms bill, despite claims that it takes away several provisions and safeguards created after the financial crisis almost a decade ago. “I think the attention it’s getting is greater than it deserves,” Larsen told the crowd of about 50 people gathered in the back room of Useless Bay Coffee Company, complete with orders being uttered over the speaker from time to time, interrupting Larsen and others. Speaking against the Citizens United decision, which removed the restrictions of political contributions by a nonprofit corporation, and has since been extended to for-profit companies, Larsen drew a round of applause from the crowd. “It is a wrong decision, I thought,” Larsen said, adding that he rejected the omnibus bill last year because of a provision that allowed for private and corporate donors to give “well

Residents honor King by giving back
Ways of whales set for Saturday
By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, about 20 South Whidbey residents gathered at the Good Cheer Garden for a day of service Monday morning. One of Dr. King’s famous quotes reads, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?’ ” Each year, Americans across the country take time on their day off from school or work to serve the betterment of their communities. This year, President Barack Obama also issued an address urging Americans “to observe this day with appropriate civic, community, and service projects in honor of Dr. King.” Good Cheer has been hosting its day of service in the Good Cheer Garden since 2009. This year’s event took place from 9 a.m. to noon and was followed by a picnic lunch. Volunteers helped ready the garden for spring and growing season by turning over cover crops, weeding, helping to make potting soil and starting seeds to plant in the hoop house, cleaning tools, organizing equipment, harvesting compost and preparing the greenhouse and hoop house for early spring plants. Camille Green, a regular Good Cheer Garden volunteer, said the day was a

Volunteers were able to finish all of the necessary projects with time to spare, which they used to help with some additional “sprucing up.” “It’s a huge start on the growing season,” Green said. Freeland resident Antoine La Londe came with his mother to volunteer at the garden. La Londe said he and his mom had volunteered before, but hadn’t done so for some time.
“We haven’t helped in a while and I was playing too many video games,” said La Londe. Freeland resident Elise Miller and son Ravi Neumeyer, age 10, also came out to help. “It’s Martin Luther King Day and we wanted to come and provide some service to the community,” said Miller. “We wanted to have some more volunteer service in our lives.”

Rite Aid’s purchase of Freeland pharmacy now official By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record The deal is done. Linds Pharmacy in Freeland is now officially a Rite Aid. The national drug store chain has been in the process of purchasing the longtime and locally owned South Whidbey pharmacy for months, and the acquisition wrapped up late last week when operations formally changed hands. Wasting no time, the old Linds sign came down that very afternoon and a new Rite Aid sign went up. “It was official as of Friday,” confirmed Ron Lind, a former owner of the pharmacy. The deal was limited to the pharmacy and certain parts of the retail element of the Freeland store, including health and beauty aids, cosmetics and various other retail goods. A sale price was not disclosed. The rest of Saratoga Enterprises, which now encompasses Linds Jewelry

The Coupeville location was available for purchase, but Lind said Rite Aid passed due to its smaller size. According to Lind, about
20 employees — 90 percent of pharmacy employees — were retained by Rite Aid. Those who were not either decided to retire or found other positions, he said. The prescription side of
the Lind business was sold largely because of economic pressures facing independent pharmacists, namely mail order houses and pharmaceutical insurance companies. They’ve made it increas-
ingly difficult for small and privately owned pharmacists to compete. It was for similar reasons that the Linds pharmacy in Langley closed in 2009, Lind said. “We’ve already experienced this to certain degree,” said Lind, referring to the Langley store’s closure. When the Freeland pharmacy went up for sale four massive chains responded: Walgreens, 8,200 stores; CVS, 7,600 locations; Rite Aid with 4,600 stores; and Bartell Drugs, a state chain with about 60 locations throughout the Puget Sound area. It’s unclear why Rite Aid was selected, but Lind said that as the partnership was established he found them to be fair and cooperative. According to its website, Rite Aid employs roughly 89,000 associates. It’s publicly traded on the New York
Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RAD, and is a Fortune 500 company. Requests to interview the store’s new manager were declined, and a call to the corporation’s communications office Monday was not returned by press time Tuesday. The pharmacy was open for business Monday, but the retail part of the store was closed for remodeling. An employee said he expected it to remain so through the end of the week. While the deal limits Linds from selling competing products, such as cosmetics and health and beauty aids, Linds retail element is reopening in the adjacent commercial space that was previously occupied only by the jewelry store. The new shop will keep selling jewelry, but also women’s apparel, cards and various other items.

Wednesday, January 21, 2015 • The South Whidbey Record
Editorial Setting The Record straight about public records requests Two weeks ago, The Record published a story about the South Whidbey School District’s new policy of identifying anyone and everyone who makes public records requests online. It was a lengthy piece that covered a lot of ground: The policy itself, the ongoing legal battle with a former teacher who is at the heart of the district’s move, the legality of identifying requestors according to a state Attorney General’s Office expert, past legislation, what other cities and school districts are doing, and of course the position of school board members. The response has been interesting, to say the least. Initially, reader comments seemed to largely support the policy, or at least it sparked little outrage. The story has since, however, gotten a second wind. A former Whidbey newspaper publisher was so incensed by the district’s policy and The Record’s article that she wrote her own editorial howling foul in the form of an online comment under the story. From that thread, a post on Facebook garnered even more response from a host of sources, including state employees and elected officials, open government advocates and former and current reporters. News stories are meant to facilitate discussion, debate, solutions and, of course, educate readers. In that regard we were successful, though through the process it’s also become clear that The Record stumbled in one area — education. We neglected to point out that no one — absolutely no one — is required to identify themselves when asking for public records. With so many moving pieces, it seems we missed one of the most basic and vital components of the story. It is also now clear that the story introduced confusion that the district was requiring people to identify themselves when it is not. In fact, it is posting the details of all requests, even those made anonymously. It’s doing so because requiring people to identify themselves is 100 percent illegal. So, let us set the record straight about what the Open Public Records Act requires from the public, which is indeed very little. First and foremost, the right to request documents anonymously is well established in state law and court precedent. Public officials will often ask requestors for personal information; some even have special forms that they ask the public to fill out. It’s usually for practical reasons, such as knowing how to alert the individual that the documents are ready, but none of it can be required. Scratch out a SEE EDITORIAL, A7

There were only a few, but they were heedless of the traffic bearing down on them from behind. I was taught to walk at night in light colored clothing or reflective outer wear, carry a flash light, and walk on the opposite shoulder so you face oncoming traffic and can leap out of the way if a car doesn’t see you. These common-sense measures haven’t changed in the last 50 years, have they? Don’t get hit from behind without

Thanks, Fred! Electronic records are often a smart way to go. Public agencies can’t charge you for the time it takes to fulfill a request, but they can bill you for the cost of copies.

Second-half rally carries Falcon girls over Turks Turks
burst SWHS boys’ win streak
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Facing the prospect of its seventh consecutive loss, the South Whidbey girls basketball team buckled down on defense late, hit some crucial three-point shots and rallied to defeat Sultan 44-41 Friday night. Things looked bright for the Turks early, as Sultan (2-6 Cascade Conference, 3-11 overall) held South Whidbey to only two points in the first quarter. South Whidbey (3-5 conference, 3-9 overall) cobbled together an offense on the back of its defensive stops. By halftime, the Turks led 23-15 and appeared poised to cruise and secure the season sweep of the Falcons. But South Whidbey freshman Mikayla Hezel got hot in the second half, hitting three of her three-pointers. Two of those outside shots tied the score, including one near the end of the third quarter that knotted the game at 30 points a piece. South Whidbey gained its first lead of the night on a three-pointer from sophomore Kacie Hanson with 5:53 left in the game. Sultan crept back by focusing its effort near the basket. The Turks got six points in a three-minute stretch to retake the lead at 39-38 with 1:30 left. Falcon sophomore Megan Drake followed a missed jump shot with a layup to take the lead for the final time. After a Turk miss, Falcon sophomore Kinsey Eager hit a free throw to cushion South Whidbey’s lead to three points with 30 seconds remaining. The Turks came within a point after a short jump shot by sophomore Emilee Buzzell. With eight seconds left, the Turks tried a full-court press on the Falcons’ inbound pass. Falcon head coach Andy Davis drew up a play to have Drake sneak out past midcourt for a long pass from Eager, who hit her perfectly in stride for an open layup and a 44-41 lead. Sultan’s final shot was blocked, secur-

Hanson’s eight. The Turks were led by sophomore Bailey Bierbrauer’s 16 points,
a game high, and senior Chrishelle Sentman’s 15.
Sultan used a 20-point third quarter while holding South Whidbey to eight points to take a 52-32 lead before winning 67-50 Friday night. As reported by The Daily Herald, a sister paper to The Record, the Turks were led by Tyler Morris with 25 points and Christ Walcott with 19. South Whidbey senior Parker Collins scored a game-high 30 points, including four three-pointers. No other Falcons scored in double digits. The Falcons (2-6 Cascade Conference, 5-9 overall) had won their previous two games for their first winning streak of the season. South Whidbey is still in position to make the 1A District 1 postseason tournament as the third-place 1A team in the league behind conference leader King’s and fourthplace Sultan. Cedar Park Christian is in last place without a conference win this season.

Scholarly LARPers hold first battle
Kate Daniel / The Record
Kevin Ball wields his sword during a live action role-playing battle Saturday at Castle Park.
By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Queen Kristina Madrid and King Bryce Auburn assembled their warriors, readied their weapons and prepared to charge into battle. Cries of friendly provocation and excitement rang out as a group of nine South Whidbey High School students rushed towards one another from opposite sides of the field at Castle Park, swords raised, axes — and one comically large fake lobster claw — wielded. The students are a handful of the 30-40 members of South Whidbey High School’s new club: the Scholarly LARPer’s Society. LARP, or live action role-playing, is a physical representation of online gaming such as “Dungeons and Dragons” and “World of Warcraft.” Players interact with one another in character while using the real world as a backdrop for a fictional setting. Live action role-playing games began in the 1970s and LARPing has since manifested into several different variations spanning the globe from the United Kingdom to
Kate Daniel / The Record
Chloe Edwards, Kelly Gray, Bryce Auburn and Kristina Madrid prepare to charge. Norway and the United States. The game rules can be determined by the respective group of players or by using guidelines provided by larger organizations such as the medieval combat and role play group Amtgard. One rule, however,
remains consistent. Any intentional harm perpetrated by one LARPer onto another will not be tolerated. For the South Whidbey LARPers, this was of no concern. The atmosphere was consistently friendly and jovial. The worst of any minor injuries came from
accidental falls on the wet grass, and fellow LARPers were quick to help each other up. As in other role-playing games, LARPers build characters which they represent on the battlefield. Madrid said that members of the Scholarly LARPer’s Society
filled out character sheets — similar to those used in “Dungeons and Dragons” — where individuals could choose class, race (mythical or human), and other characteristics. In many LARP groups, individuals fully adopt the persona of these characters during the course of the LARP session, some of which can span a number of days. As with choices in character development, groups are free to choose the fictional or historical setting for their battles. Auburn recalled that he had recently spoken with a man who was developing a LARP based on the popular Halo video games. For the South Whidbey LARPers, however, the fictional world they had chosen was one resembling that of J.R.R. Tolkien’s famed Middle Earth (the mythical place setting for the movie trilogy “Lord of the Rings”) or “World of Warcraft,” with a little medieval influence as well. Auburn said he and Madrid decided to start the club because the school had previously lacked a group that was favorable to both of them. When they approached friends to ask their opinion about the idea, they were met with plenty of enthusiasm. The pair said they never expected over 30 students to attend the first meeting, and are welcoming more new players often as the news continues to make its way around the school. Madrid explained that she and Auburn are queen and king because they are the co-founders of the group. Tony Safford serves as the royal treasurer. The school ASB representative will serve as the prince or princess. A “royal shusher” was also appointed, Madrid said with a chuckle, to ensure a reasonable noise level was maintained in the classroom during club meetings. Saturday’s battle at Castle Park was a first for both Madrid and Auburn, seniors at South Whidbey High School, and a first for most of their fellow society members. The players had assembled faux weapons from styrofoam — some fash-
ioned from pool noodles — and had gathered what costumery they could find from their closets and a last-minute stop at the thrift store. A handful had donned capes or other fantasy/ medieval-style accoutrements while others battled in jeans and sweatshirts. The club is attempting to raise funds in order to purchase more weapons and costume supplies in hopes of having larger-scale battles in the future. Safford explained that foam is the material of choice for most weaponry because it is highly unlikely to actually hurt fellow LARPers. Madrid and Auburn explained that if a player sustains an “injury” that would be mortally wounding in real life, he or she is considered “dead” and must step aside, placing their weapon on their head to signify their inability to fight. Sustaining a hit to the chest or head would cause a player to be “tapped out.” Similarly, if a player sustains an injury which would, imaginatively, sever one of their limbs, they may continue to fight but without use of that limb. If a player loses two limbs, they are out. The group split into two teams. A team could win either by “killing” all of the members of the opposing team or by forcing the opposing team to surrender. Once one team was declared victor, the group exchanged congratulations before reconfiguring and going to battle once again. As Saturday evening’s storm rolled into Langley, the rain increased steadily, soaking the players and their weapons. But just as no degree of bad weather could have deterred the warriors of great mythical battles such as the Battle of Helm’s Deep (featured in part two of “Lord of the Rings”) , the downpour did little to deter the LARPers. Unanimously, the players declared the day a success, adding that they are hopeful that more players will attend the next session.

Stop Dreaming! Is this the year you’ll
buy a home or are you just dreaming? Although most home purchases begin as a dream, they actually occur as the result of a commitment – in fact, two commitments. The dream phase is vital because it transforms the fantasies of the mind into a picture of reality. It allows a home to take shape in the imagination without cost, boundaries, or limitations. From the dream phase evolves the future home. The commitment stage has two parts. First, a home purchase requires an emotional commitment. Those responsible must be confident that it is the right time to buy. They must have substantial reasons to begin the process, and they must be prepared to take the actions required to bring their dream to fruition. The second commitment is financial. Buying a home requires cash for a downpayment, creditworthiness to secure a mortgage, and the earning power to liquidate the debt. The confidence to make this commitment can be gained by visiting a mortgage lender. By analyzing your financial picture in advance, the lender can offer a loan commitment at a specific interest rate, giving you the buying power needed to make your purchase. Make your dream a reality this year. Take the three steps: dream, commit, and commit. Before you know it, you’ll be moving to a new reality. Really!

The foundation gathered enough donations for the family to stay at the Harbor Inn from Dec. 21 to just after New Year’s Day after Cambra informed LaVassar of the situation. The Holiday House, a shop designed to ensure families with limited or no income are able to provide gifts to their children and teens during the holidays despite lack of funds, had provided the children with presents and a small, cheerily decorated Christmas tree. The twins expressed their gratitude, both for the gifts and for the safety of their temporary living space. “Even though I don’t really care about toys,” Kenedi added. “All I really wanted for Christmas was our whole family to be here.” Readiness to Learn Foundation and the bishop of the Mormon church had donated food, blankets and other necessities for which Cambra expressed many thanks. Three weeks after meeting with The Record on Christmas Eve, Cambra and her mother were back in the trailer due to a lack of funding to remain in the motel. Cambra had sent her children back to Alaska to stay with a relative. Cambra’s twins had moved to the island from Anchorage, Alaska, to stay with their mother, who moved to Washington seven months ago. Prior to her move, Cambra
had worked as a manager at Fred Meyer and Chevron in Anchorage. Having held a job since the age of 14, Cambra hasn’t been unemployed until the past six months, when circumstances such as her mother’s ailments and a downtrodden economy made finding work extremely difficult. “We haven’t always been in a bad way,” said Cambra. Stuart’s doctors had suggested she transfer from Alaska to Washington for laparoscopic surgery due to a hiatal hernia. Stuart, who also suffers from dementia and Alzheimer’s, was awaiting surgery at an island care facility when she developed pneumonia. Her original surgery was further postponed due to a complication. She relies on blood thinners and an oxygen tank, and requires regular physical therapy and check-ins at University of Washington Medical Center. Once Stuart had received her originally planned surgery, the care facility would not re-admit her due to her inability to meet the required stipulations, most of which were financial. Stuart’s social security benefits are currently on hold due to her move. “She’s got about 30 prescriptions that she’s taking,” said Cambra, explaining that most of them require a co-pay which she can’t afford. Stuart is one of a growing population of older homeless adults. The National Alliance to End Homelessness estimates that, due to the growing population of
elderly Americans overall, the rate of older homeless adults will increase 33 percent by the year 2020. As of 2008, there were an estimated 43,450 sheltered homeless individuals over the age of 62, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s report to congress. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s 2014 Annual Homeless Assessment Report, 216,261 homeless people in families — or 37 percent of the homeless population — were counted during last year’s annual point-in-time count. The National Alliance to End Homelessness claims the number is an underrepresentation, estimating the actual number to be about 220,000. “I’ve helped many, many people in my life and this is the first time I’ve reached out and said, ‘You know what, I need help. I can’t do this by myself,’ ” Cambra said. “I couldn’t care less about my needs. What I care about is my mom and my kids.” Readiness to Learn Foundation accepts tax-deductible donations for those in need of housing assistance at P.O. Box 280, Langley. Write “housing help” on the check memo to designate the funds. To volunteer for the South Whidbey point-in-time count, contact the Good Cheer Food Bank main line at 360-2216494, Island County Housing Resource Coordinator Joanne Pelant at 360-6787962 or the South Whidbey Homeless Coalition at 360-221-5970.

But the other members, including Sundberg, coaxed him into taking on the job, saying that he has the energy, tough-mindedness and passion to handle the challenge. Even before he was chosen as chairman, Almberg presented the board with a motion to place a series of six issues on the agenda for the March 27 meeting for discussion and possible action. The entire board agreed. The issues are a financial stabilization plan; consideration of new funding sources; review of overlapping bus routes with other transit areas; a review of routes and schedules; consideration of joint ventures with Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and the schools; and a change in boundaries of the public transportation benefit area. In an interview, Almberg said he’s pleased that a financial stabilization plan is already in the works, but he would like to see a “real reserve” similar to what Oak Harbor has. It should

Vaughan. Coupeville Councilman Bob Clay, the longtime chairman, said the Town Council hadn’t yet decided who to appoint to the board this year and there’s a chance someone else will want to serve. Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said he wants to continue on the board. Clay also announced that he was stepping down as chairman. He took on the role of director of the agency for months after former director Martha Rose quit last year. “I’ve been board chairman for a long time and someone else needs to assume the position with all the glory and pay that goes along with it,” he joked. Hannold quickly nominated Almberg as the new chairman. Almberg at first demurred, saying that Sundberg had the “tribal knowledge” to do the job.

Always experimenting with new recipes and product ideas, this jewel of a shop has expanded from its humble beginnings of selling its famously delicious handmade truffles at the local farmers’ market to a bustling cafe that offers a full beverage
bar including espressos, lattes, Italian sodas, a large selection of gelato, including floats, shakes, freezes, sundaes and of course, chocolate. We provide samples and have a tasting wheel enabling our customers to experience chocolate from around the world, much like a wine flight.

2014 will close the books as the year the housing market recovered. Some have called it the Lost Decade as housing values are back to where they were in 2004, just prior to the peak. Seattle environs have moved beyond the peak; we islanders move at a slower, more sustainable pace. NWMLS data for south Whidbey housing Year/Year shows the number of homes listed essentially the same, the 18.6% more pending contracts written resulting in 23% more homes closed. The $326,000 median price for those sales is 5.7% higher than last year, the average price 11% higher. More sales yet the same number of choices + favorable interest rates = more demand. If you have thought of selling YOUR home or buying another home this just may be the perfect time. Call Marchele

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

ALMBERG CONTINUED FROM A12
only be used for emergencies and only be spent with a vote of the majority of the board, he added. Almberg also wants to move forward with an analysis of whether it makes financial sense to start charging fares on buses, which have long been fare-free. While the former director claimed it would cost too much to implement, he pointed out
that all the other agencies in the state found it financially prudent to collect fares. In addition, he said he wanted to explore the idea of changing the district so that another agency handles Camano Island. He pointed out that latest statistics from Island Transit show that providing bus service on Camano costs $16.57 a rider while it’s $7.26 a rider on Whidbey. Almberg said there’s already some bus service overlap with other agencies
on Camano and one of those agencies might be able to provide service at a lower cost. Island Transit is funded through local sales tax and a combination of state and federal grants. Almberg said he realizes that Camano Island is getting a greater benefit than it’s paying for since Camano doesn’t generate a lot of sales tax dollars, but he said that inequity isn’t his main concern. “It’s all about having the best service for the taxpay-
ers’ dollars,” he said. Also, Almberg said the agency should consider partnering with the Navy base and school districts. He’s aware of another transit agency in the state that cooperates with a school district to transport kids. Ken Graska, the interim director, said the staff would gather all the information it could to assist the board in answering the many questions at the March 27 meeting.

LARSEN CONTINUED FROM A1
over” $1 million to political conventions. Related to spending and the federal budget, Larsen received several questions about health care, Social Security and veterans benefits during a 45-minute question and answer period. One man asked Larsen about income disparity growth and how Congress could remedy the problem of the rich getting richer and the poor and middle class seeing stagnant wages and rising inflation. It’s not an overnight fix, said Larsen, but increasing the federal minimum wage, improving transportation and the Buffett Rule will help. The latter is named after financial investor Warren Buffett and would ensure a minimum tax rate of 30 percent for households making more than $1 million a year. Another woman questioned the security of Social Security and called it “genocide.” Larsen rejected that description, but acknowledged that he was concerned about benefits being held hostage by the Republicans who, he said, want to privatize parts of it. “I think the best decision is to scrap the cap,” Larsen said, referring to the Social Security tax limit of $110,100 earned. Questions quickly turned toward the military, with one about redirecting spending from armed services to domestic issues and a series about war policies including Syria and Iraq. Garrett Newkirk, a member of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve which is working to close Outlying Field Coupeville, asked about the planes’ safety and the economic impacts of noise on Whidbey. Larsen disagreed that there are major economic impacts, but said the Environmental Impact Statement study was the proper channel for people to voice their concerns. He also highlighted steps his office was taking to see a compromise, including a hangar for run-ups, quieter engine design, tech-based landings to reduce the amount of necessary training, sound surveys and improving the communication from the Navy base in Oak Harbor to the surrounding area. Newkirk countered several points, including the hangar, citing an old record of decision by the Navy which he said stated it was too costly to build a hangar. Larsen reiterated that he was not in favor of closing the base or the air field. Toward the end of the meeting, the questions veered toward more fringe topics for the congressman. One man, who identified himself as a Ukrainian, asked where the indignation was over alleged human rights violations perpetrated by the new government in the now Russian-occupied area of Crimea. After visiting Ukraine a few weeks ago, Larsen said he supported President Barack Obama’s decision to support the new government. “I don’t have any indignation with the Ukrainian government,” Larsen said. One man asked Larsen if the 28 redacted pages of the 9/11 report would be released or if he had read it. Larsen gave his shortest response of the morning with a quick, terse, “No.” Larsen later toured the Nichols Brothers Boat Builders shipyard in Freeland.
