Whidbey RadioShacks to stay open as corporate files for bankruptcy
Langley to take bluff project to public

Whidbey Windermere Real Estate, said that buyers have “far more confidence” now than they have in previous years, in part because of “remarkably low” 4 percent interest rates and a gradually strengthening economy. However, he said inventory is “critically low” for the 38 agents at South Whidbey Windermere and
The first step in the doover of Langley’s proposed Cascade Avenue bluff project will occur some time in March. Langley’s mayor and planning director confirmed they are working on a charrette, a public input workshop to figure out which course the city should take to ease pedestrian movement between the marina and business district. Previous projects such as the funicular and bridge and elevator stalled after public outcry grew and questions were raised about their necessity and cost of maintenance. Since then, other ideas including a tram along the bluff, a wheeled trolley and increasing the Langley Main Street Association’s electric golf cart operations have been floated. “What we’d like to do is look at every option presented or proposed by the public,” Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio said. “Put everything out there and let the public have a look at everything,” he added. Mayor Fred McCarthy announced earlier this year he would abandon the pursuit for a funicular in response to criticism for redirecting the project from the much maligned bridge-and-elevator concept. Having inherited the idea for the project from a previous mayor — it’s also been in the city’s comprehensive plan for a decade — McCarthy said with a new planning director and obvious public interest it was best to go back to the drawing board. “This is better in the context of community plan-

South Whidbey’s two RadioShack stores will stay open amid news that RadioShack Corp. filed for bankruptcy and would shutter more than 1,700 stores nationwide. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Feb. 5 and announced a wave of stores to potentially be closed. None of the three Whidbey stores — Oak Harbor, Freeland, and Clinton — are included in a document titled “Potential store closure list” on the radioshackcorporation. com website. That’s because the two South Whidbey stores are independently owned and operated. “We are locally-owned as always,” said owner Mike Rains on Tuesday morning. “People always forget we’re not a corporation,” he added. According to one RadioShack employee who identified himself as Rick, the Oak Harbor store’s staff was not informed of any change. “They haven’t informed us,” he said Monday afternoon. Later, he said that it was “Business as usual,” before hanging up. Of the electronics chain’s 4,000 stores, up to 1,750 may be purchased and operated as a “store within a store” by Sprint Wireless and Standard General, according to a company news release. South Whidbey’s stores aren’t likely to see Sprint phones, however, because there are no Sprint cell towers on South Whidbey, Rains said. SEE RADIOSHACK, A16

Massive container ships drop anchor in
Holmes Harbor By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record
Holmes Harbor is sheltering a couple of unusual visitors this week, two massive container ships. The 944-foot Hanjin Yantian and the 869-foot Conti Basel arrived in the area late Sunday, and are presently swinging on their anchors. Like many other container ships in Puget Sound, they are in a holding pattern as they wait to unload their cargo in Seattle and Tacoma, two of nearly 30 ports on the West Coast that were closed this past weekend due to stalled contract negotiations
between shippers and a longshoremen’s union. Both vessels were directed to Holmes Harbor by the U.S. Coast Guard, Sector Seattle Vessel Traffic Service, because moorages around Puget Sound were largely full, according to Alan Calvert, a watch supervisor with the organization. “Right now they are full, nearly filled, or booked for the next couple weeks,” Calvert said. Longshoremen returned to work Monday, but the backlog of containers, which Calvert said are “stacked SEE SHIPS, A16

Hospital names Geri Forbes as CEO
Michelle Beahm / Whidbey News Group
Geri Forbes, seen here during interviews in late January, was selected by the Whidbey General Hospital board of directors as the next chief executive officer. “We need to say we can’t do this ‘because …,’ so that there’s understanding,” Forbes said. “It’s all about communication.”
Forbes did not return a call for comment by press time Tuesday. If the contract is finalized, Tarrant said the hospital
board hopes that Forbes will start in the position on April 20.

Whidbey General Hospital’s board of commissioners hired a new CEO Monday to replace Tom Tomasino this spring. Geri Forbes, one of the three candidates to be interviewed during an invite-only luncheon with community representatives, will take over as Whidbey General’s CEO position in mid-April. Forbes touted the importance of transparency and openness during a community meeting last month. Tomasino, who served as CEO of the hospital for more than five years, turned in his resignation notice last year, effective this October. Rather than stay on board to work with Forbes as originally discussed by the hospital board, Tomasino will be exiting the hospital before Forbes takes over. The hospital spokesperson didn’t respond by press time to a request for the terms of Tomasino’s earlier-thanexpected separation from Whidbey General. Tomasino was receiving $261,000 per year in salary and benefits, according to the most recent information available from the state Department of Health. “We thank Tom for his service to the district for the past five plus years,” the hospital said in a press release issued by Keith Mack, public relations liaison for Whidbey General. “The public hospital district, and Whidbey Island,

WEATHER REPORT | Morning fog breaks to afternoon/evening rain today and Thursday. Partly sunny Friday.
LANGLEY Council sticks with positions Langley city leaders will be busy in the coming year with more than city business. The mayor and city council members’ organizational roles were confirmed during the Feb. 2 meeting, including Councilman Jim Sundberg’s position as the city’s representative on the Island Transit board of directors. In December, Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley called for Sundberg’s removal following a major financial shortfall that resulted in route and service cuts. Langley council members and Mayor Fred McCarthy supported Sundberg then and continued to do so Feb. 2. “I think we were all
clear from the start we wanted Jim to stay on the board,” McCarthy said. McCarthy has the most obligations, including several as the city’s voice in county matters such as the Island County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, Council of Governments, Law and Justice Council, Regional Transportation Organization, Island Local Integrating Organization, Sustainable Whidbey Coalition, Economic Development Council, and an occasional visitor to the Langley Chamber of Commerce. All council members serve on multiple boards, though not all as official city representatives, except for Councilwoman Robin Black who was appointed in May 2014. Councilwoman Rene Neff serves on the city’s cemetery board, the nonprofit Langley Main Street Association and chamber of commerce. Sundberg,
in addition to his role with Island Transit, is the city’s liaison to the Port of South Whidbey and a member of the Main Street Association. Councilman Bruce Allen is on the Island County Tourism Committee, a board member for Choochokam, a board member for The HUB, and a Main Street member. Councilman Thomas Gill is the city’s representative on the SnoIsle Library Board and is also a member of the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition.
PORT Candidates to be interviewed The Port of South Whidbey is expected to appoint a replacement for former Commissioner
Dennis Gregoire from a pool of three candidates tonight. The board will hold a special session and interviews at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11, at the district’s headquarters, 1804 Scott Road in Freeland underneath China City. A workshop will be held 30 minutes before at 5 p.m. The candidates include Wayne Morrison of Bayview, Bill Criswell of Freeland, and Yang “Jack” Ng, also of Freeland. They were the only respondents of the port’s call for interested parties earlier this month. Morrison has called South Whidbey home for more than 20 years, is a small business owner and the president of the Island County Economic Development Council’s board. His name may be recognizable from his 2012 run for Island County commissioner. Criswell moved to South Whidbey in 2002,
according to a short bio submitted to the port, and is a partner in a building company with his son. Finally, Ng has called the South End home since 2000. He’s the owner of three China City restaurants, two of which are located on Whidbey Island — Freeland and Oak Harbor.
SCHOOLS How to prevent disaster damage The South Whidbey School District board of directors will meet this week to discuss matters such as pre-disaster damage prevention and board self-evaluations. The workshop will be held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11 at the South Whidbey Elementary School community room. According to a recent newsletter, the district
Dr. Kyle Fukano and Staff
GENERAL DENTISTRY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
is participating in a pilot project with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) in order to create a hazard mitigation plan for the school district. This is a part of the first statewide K-12 Facilities Hazard Mitigation Plan, which pertains to ways in which to reduce damage from natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and landslides. Once the plan has been structured, it will be submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency in hopes that the school district may be eligible to receive funding. These funds would be used to bolster the school buildings’ ability to resist damages from natural disasters. A committee of staff, community members, administrators and a board member have been working with OSPI to create the plan, according to the school district website. The district is seeking input from the community via a survey which can be found on the district’s website at sw.wednet.edu. The board will retreat for an executive session following the workshop to conduct the mid-year superintendent evaluation. Additional agenda items include a report on legislative happenings from Rocco Gianni, a board self-evaluation session and continued discussion of the proposed language revisions to the district’s anti-discrimination policy.

Bob Savage
Bobby Bruce Savage, aka Bob, 93, passed away Jan. 28, 2015, at his home in Mesa, Ariz. He was born Sept. 20, 1921, in La Conner, Wash., to John and Nelly Wallace Savage. Bob grew up in the Seattle area, along with his only sibling, Ted, who preceded him in death in 2001. He graduated from Ballard High School in 1940. Shortly after high school, he joined the U.S. military and served in Berlin, Germany. He first served in the Air Force and transferred to active duty in the Army. He served in the military reserves from 1946 through 1953. Bob was a recipient of the Purple Heart. Upon honorable discharge from the military in January 1944, he pursued higher education, first at Seattle Pacific College, in Washington, and earned his degree in psychology, as well as pre-dental prerequisites for subsequent enrollment in the St. Louis University School of Dentistry, where he earned his doctorate of dental surgery. He taught psychology at the University of Washington while waiting to set up a private dental practice. He also set up several dental clinics in public health in the Seattle area (one being in a pris-
on) before setting up his private practice in 1955. He met and married Charlotte Rena Miller in 1941, who preceded him in death in 1976. She was the mother of six children. He is also preceded in death by his oldest son, John, in 2013. He married Marian Capela Colonel Feb. 14, 1981, in Langley, Wash. In 1984 Dr. Bob carried the Olympic torch in Seattle 1.25 miles for the 1984 Summer Olympics. He and Marian moved to Mesa in January 2001 to enjoy retirement in a more ideal climate. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Marian; stepdaughters, Rachelle Starr and Elissa Leighton; four step-grandchildren; son, Rory Savage of Ellensburg, Wash; daughters Steffi Davis, Jennifer Burnell, Jill Litwiller and Becky Savage of Seattle; 22 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. Services were held at 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 6, 2015 at Central Christian Church. A viewing was held 3-6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 5, at Sonoran Skies Mortuary, 5650 E. Main St., Mesa, AZ 85205.
Charles William Iles
Charles William Iles On Jan. 30, Charles William “Bill” Iles died peacefully in his sleep
at the age of 95. Bill was known by everyone for his endless kindness, generosity, patience and profound integrity. He was a dedicated father to his four children and a generous grandfather to his five grandchildren. Deeply committed to education, Bill played a significant role in helping his children and grandchildren get college degrees. Bill unconditionally supported his family and respected their choices, never pushing his opinions or beliefs on others. He remained quietly contained and strengthened by his faith in God throughout his life. Bill was a loving and romantic husband. For 30 years, he was happily married to the mother of his four children, Leona Auch, until her tragic death in an auto accident in 1977. Bill later married Pearl Dunbar, and they enjoyed 26 wonderful years together until her death in 2001. At a water aerobics class late in his life, he met Phyllis Cain, and they shared five happy years of marriage together. Bill was born in a sod house on a Montana homestead on April 8, 1919, the second of seven children, but spent his early years in South Dakota. He paid for his college education bucking hay in the summers and working during the school year. In his early 20s, he learned to fly from a local crop duster, and in 1941, he became a Navy flight instructor. Bill later flew transport missions to bases in the South Pacific, the Aleutian Islands and Point Barrow, Alaska, (where he supplied efforts to drill the first oil wells) and he helped map territory north of the Arctic Circle. These flights were often undertaken in hazardous weather conditions and less than ideal runways. After five years of active service, Bill spent 15 years in the Navy Reserve flying missions around the world, ultimately ending
his career as a commander, having flown everything from PBYs to DC4s. Bill attended Northwest Nazarene College in Idaho for two years (where he met Leona). He received a bachelor of arts degree in 1941 from Augustana College in South Dakota and went on to receive two degrees from the University of Washington, a bachelor of science in 1946 and a master of education in 1961. In 1946, Bill began teaching as a high school chemistry and mathematics instructor at Kent Meridian High School in Kent, Wash. He quickly became the business manager of the Kent School District and then spent 15 years as the superintendent of schools. Bill oversaw the building of 24 schools during his tenure, a time of unprecedented growth for the district. In 1972, the family moved to Olympia, Wash., where Bill accepted a job in the Washington Office of Public Instruction as the supervisor of Teacher Certification for the state. After Leona’s death, he moved to Seattle and became a professor of education at Seattle Pacific University. In 1982, Bill retired from professional life. He and Pearl moved to Olympia, where he enjoyed tending his extensive vegetable garden, as well as fishing, golfing and working on his home and grounds. He became an expert on fruit trees, pruning, espaliering and grafting with much success. He cut, split and hauled eight cords of firewood every year. Bill and Pearl canned and smoked food to the delight of their many guests, hosted memorable holiday dinners and traveled the world. In 1993, Bill and Pearl moved to Whidbey Island to be near their children and grandchildren. He continued to be active in church and Kiwanis International and was valued by everyone with
whom he worked. Bill’s dry sense of humor will be missed by all who loved him. Bill was preceded in death by his son, Charles William Jr. He is survived by his wife, Phyllis Iles; three of his children, Gwenann Kroon (M. Thomas), Robert Iles (Susan) and David Iles (Esther); his five grandchildren, Tobin Iles, Andrea Foster (Drew), Alexandra Hedin (Adam), Brittney Kroon and Elijah Iles; as well as five greatgrandchildren. Services will held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland, Wash. Donations may be made, in lieu of flowers, to Seattle Pacific University School of Education or The Northwest Chapter of the National MS Society.

Andrews passed away Dec. 12, 2014, just shy of his 84th birthday. He was born in Seattle Jan. 17, 1932. Gerry grew up in Seattle. A graduate of Roosevelt High School and the University of Washington music department, Gerry joined the United States Air Force and played the trumpet in the Air Force Orchestra. He was stationed in Germany and performed with the band in a concert honoring the king and queen of Denmark. The concert, held at Tivoli Garden in Copenhagen, was where he met his wife, Kirsten D. Andrews. Gerry proposed after three dates, and, at the time of his passing, they had been married for 57 years. Gerry loved music and dancing. He enjoyed travel, spending time with friends and loved delivering his loaves of homemade bread to them. Gerry and Kirsten worked together, played together, and they loved dancing together. One of his favorite things in his last year was listening to big band music and spending time with Kirsten.

Editorial
Commissioners should rethink Conservation Futures fund proposal Last week, the Island County commissioners’ Republican majority informally agreed that a funding program designed specifically to preserve land deemed too valuable for development needs criteria that would weigh possible economic losses of future purchases. The Conservation Futures fund, as it’s commonly known, isn’t perfect and may indeed need some revision, but the board should consider this proposal carefully. This taxing program, which is outlined in state statute, is about preservation, not economics, and confusing the two seems contrary to the legislation’s intent. “The legislature finds that the haphazard growth and spread of urban development is encroaching upon, or eliminating, numerous open areas and spaces of varied size and character, including many devoted to agriculture, the cultivation of timber, and other productive activities, and many others having significant recreational, social, scenic, or esthetic values. Such areas and spaces, if preserved and maintained in their present open state, would constitute important assets to existing and impending urban and metropolitan development, at the same time that they would continue to contribute to the welfare and well-being of the citizens of the state as a whole,” — RCW 84.34.200. This program has long been a sore spot for island conservatives. Some argue that property preservation is a luxury that shouldn’t be indulged at a time when the county is struggling to fund basic services, such as law and justice. Others note that more land has been purchased than can be maintained, and indeed the county is struggling with what it has, even handing off stewardship of some properties to other public agencies. And some complain that continually “saving” areas that are precious only to a select few removes valuable property from tax rolls. Perhaps additional wisdom is needed when it comes to Conservation Futures purchases, but considering the economic loss of lands is a hard sell when it comes to preservation — the two simply don’t go hand in hand. If they did, wonders like Central Park in New York City, likely some of the most valuable commercial real estate in the world, probably wouldn’t exist. Greenbank Farm would be a neighborhood or shopping mall, and perhaps Double Bluff beach park would be a string of waterfront shops. The point is, the properties that need preservation the most are often, by their very nature, the most valuable. It’s difficult to see the wisdom of adding criteria that would weaken the very backbone of what the Conservation Futures fund is all about.

And treasurer’s office calls it a “tax supplement” Editor, I appreciated your recent article on my taxation frustration. The King 5 news follow-up sheds further light on Island County’s long-standing practice of waiting for years to post taxes levied. Others need to come forward and tell their story. In my case, those taxes were levied against the previous owner as a result of a court conviction against her. In 2009 the Island County Assessors Office sent the previous owner her tax bill. She chose to ignore the bill and failed to reveal those taxes on her seller’s disclosure statement. Fast forward to Dec. 26, 2014, the Island County Treasurers Office finally gets around to posting the tax and adds on penalties and interest. And they call it a “tax supplement.” I have yet to hear from Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks for his legal
opinion. His tight-lipped strategy appears flawed. Does he really want another lawsuit? Ironically, the Island County Treasurer’s Office has posted on their website a need for volunteers to help with their backlog. I’m retired. I got time.

Which one should you choose? The sale of a home is not a matter of luck or friendship. It is “hard work meeting opportunity.” Marketing successfully involves a process, not a single activity. List with the agent who understands the process and has a history of making things happen. If that individual also happens to be your friend, you may have a fine match. To earn the right to represent you, ask the agent to provide evidence of the price recent buyers have paid for similar homes. Expect the agent to tour your home like a buyer looking for improvements that should be implemented. The agent will teach you to present your home in the most favorable light to excite buyers. Finally, the agent should have a history of implementing successful marketing strategies. Ask about his/her methods and timetable.

Hometown Hero
Barnes: Animal cop keeps sight of the mission By SUSAN KNICKERBOCKER South Whidbey Record How many times in life are we motivated only to become disillusioned? How many times do we feel led or called to do something, only to allow circumstances or others to derail us? For Carol Barnes, being an animal control officer for over 30 years is no easy mission, yet she remains focused on the good she can accomplish. She states, “We all have a calling in life, my mission is educate people and protect animals.” Barnes’ mission is a passion every day and night. Kim McMaster and daughter Mysti remark, “Carol is truly a Hometown Hero to our island animals. She is available to help them anytime she is called with professional advice on even the most unfair situations. This is very difficult when you see some of the horrific situations these animals are in. This takes a very strong person. For Carol it does not matter if it is day, night, weekend or the Super Bowl — she always answers her phone and is willing to help an animal or person in need.” Barnes’ love for animals goes back to childhood. “My mom would drive me an hour and a half away to ride horses. I later learned to clean stalls and care for horses so I could exchange my labor for hours of riding. Growing up I collected stuffed animals, to make up for all the live animals I wanted to have,” she says laughing. Barnes eventually traded enough labor for a horse named Midnight. After high school she landed a banking position, but yearned to be with animals. When a local pet store advertised a minimum-wage position, she grabbed the job. She says, “My parents were so disappointed; they told me I was giving up a promising career, but I knew it was the right decision for me.” She later became a vet technician, a dog groomer, and boarding kennel worker. Being raised in Seal Beach, Calif., she dreamed of one day being out in the country around wildlife. She looked for jobs that called to her.

Hometown Hero Carol Barnes is Island County’s longtime animal control officer, and one of our community’s great champions for the better treatment of animals. “I was told about a position with animal control on Whidbey Island in the early 1980s for what was called then a ‘Dog Pound Keeper.’ I knew that position was where I was meant to be.” Barnes remembers the conditions of how homeless dogs were kept back in those days. “It was dreadful back then, the animals were in horrific conditions and only had a few days to be adopted before we had to take them to King County Shelter for
the slim chance they might find a home, but more likely be euthanized,” she said, grabbing a Kleenex and wiping her teary eyes. “We tried various programs, such as pet of the week, anything to try and lengthen the dog’s chance of being adopted. I had an amazing staff. Each of us had to keep reminding ourselves that things would get better for the animals.” She kept her focus of animal welfare and education, and working toward

having the pound become a Humane Society shelter. She enlisted help in 1990 from Pam Lock. She states, “With the help of so many generous people in this community, the WAIF (Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation), shelter became reality in 1997. That was a very, very good day for the animals, and people too.” She says sadly there are still some who treat animals horribly. “The abuse and neglect gets to all of us in this work,”
Barnes said. She added that when she responds to an abused, abandoned, or neglected animal call, it is heartbreaking. “We can tell when a dog is left abandoned; the dog will circle around the area they are left, waiting for their owner to come back. The dog loves their owner, and expects them to return for them, but they never do. It’s so sad. How could a person leave their companion, their best friend that loves them unconditionally, like that? Many times the animal has been shooed away, things thrown at them, hit at, or worse; it can take time until they can trust a human again. Sometimes it’s gone too far, and we cannot save the animal. There are very sad circumstances, frustrating and difficult days, tearful or sleepless nights and challenging moments. However we must continue in this work. The animals need our voices.” Barnes says crimes against animals are unacceptable when there are many programs in place to help. There is zero tolerance for abuse and neglect. Some people give no thought to what it means to be responsible for an animal. She says, “Other people want to do the right thing, and love their animals, but have fallen on hard times. For instance someone loses their job and can’t afford the license [fee] for their dog. I would rather give them more time to comply, and if needed find help for them. For example we were called out on a loose dog with no tags. The owner was a single parent, their child accidentally let the dog out, and their fence had a hole in it. That parent just needed some help. We got the fence fixed and found someone to help them with license fees. We make sure they know how to care

for their pet, so this doesn’t happen again. I am a public servant, and I want to serve the people as well as the animals.” Barnes says, thankfully, there are happy stories too. Most recently on a windy, stormy day she received an emergency call that a young horse was loose running around in the middle of traffic on Highway 525. She was concerned about the horse and the people in the cars too. Barnes enlisted volunteers Sharon Edwards to make Facebook postings and calls to find the owner, and Melissa Newman who had a horse trailer. Barnes says thanks to this community the horse and the owner were finally reunited. She also praises organizations such as Oasis for Animals, WIAF, Old Dog Haven and many more, that are all invaluable for education and the protection of animals. “If you look up thankless jobs, you will find Animal Control Officer with Carol’s photo,” wrote Ron Kerrigan, of Old Dog Haven. “Her position itself probably engenders a lot of animosity, advocating for animals from those who do not treat them well. Out of her own pocket, she kept dogs and cats alive before WAIF became a reality and she helped with spay and neutering. “It was Carol’s love of animals that caused her and Island County [Sheriff’s Office] Sgt. Laura Price, Laura’s mother Pam and Wylie Farr to form, WIFAAP (Whidbey Island Farm Animals Assistance Program) to help care for abused or neglected large animals.” Barnes says, “Our hearts are torn apart many days from the neglect and abuse of animals we see at the hands of some humans, but we in this work know we are needed.” She adds, “I believe I was put in this position by God for a reason.” Shari Bibich, manager of WAIF, also remarks what a thankless job Barnes has. “In the 20 years I have worked with Carol, she knows when to be tough, and shows great compassion for animals and those in need.

She worked alongside the founders of WAIF to create a better environment, and this relationship continues today. I have witnessed the difficult situations she has had to deal with that can take an emotional toll, however Carol continues daily with a smile. She has dealt with severe health setbacks, only to bounce back quickly so she could get back to work and serve the public and the animals.” Bibich says Barnes’ faithfulness to the cause is a testament to her character, and an inspiration to all to keep the mission in sight.
“Carol is one of the most caring people I know; she takes her job to heart. I am lucky to work in the same office as her and we have become very close friends. Carol has a way of dragging me out on calls with her at times and it’s always an experience to remember. She really is a hero.”

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT CAROL BARNES “She is the kind of person that gives 110 percent at everything she does: family, friends, church and work. She’d do anything she could if someone, anyone, was in need. She loves serving the people and animals of Island County. Her job can be very hard at times but she has persevered and always looks for the positive in everything she does. Carol has also had some huge personal obstacles in her life that she has overcome, just one of them being cancer. She hardly took any time off during that battle; most people had no idea what she was going through. But that’s the kind of person she is. She doesn’t want to be in the spotlight or draw attention to herself, she is humble in spirit and always gives the Glory to God.”

“I met Carol when I first started as a reserve deputy in 1999. She is a ‘force’ all on her own and I knew when I met her we would become good friends. Carol and I are sisters at heart; we share the same passion for animals, a good laugh and sometimes a good prank. Carol always puts the animals first when she works. They are the ones who need a voice; Carol is their voice. Most people don’t realize, but she works this job with no other personnel. Whenever she retires, the county will have a hard time replacing her dedication and love for the animals.”

“Carol Barnes has a heart for all animals and their owners. In her many years of service as Whidbey Island’s Animal Control officer she often goes above and beyond her official duties. Carol often volunteers her time to do outreach and provide information about responsible pet ownership at festivals and events. Her job places her in some very difficult and heart-wrenching situations, yet she draws upon her loving spirit and professional experience to always strive to do what is right for our whole community.”
Helen Price Johnson, Island County commissioner
“Carol is contracted by Island County and works under my authority as sheriff to investigate cases of animal cruelty, declaration of dangerous animals, and other related crimes such as animal neglect. She also works closely with the prosecutor in deciding whether or not probable cause exists to charge someone with a crime associated with these animal cases. I would like to acknowledge Carol for
being selected as ‘Hometown Hero.’ That is exactly what she is. No one I am aware of is more knowledgeable about animal control laws and how they apply to the facts of a case than Carol Barnes.”
Mark Brown, Island County sheriff
“Carol has a great love for animals. I remember helping her pick up a horse, and how gentle she was with the horse and how nicely she handled the situation. Carol is a very kind person and she does a great job taking care of the animals in Island County.”
Melissa Newman, of Setter Ridge English Setters
“I have been Carol’s friend since the early 1990s. Our mutual love of dogs introduced us, but her kindness and love of animals kept us friends. We have traveled and laughed together and sometimes cried together. I appreciate Carol’s sensible and realistic approach to life challenges. Carol has managed to deal with the sadness and sometimes dangerous job of animal control officer for longer than most people could or would. It seems that in her work you
“I met Carol Barnes more than 15 years ago when I was a young reporter, and have written stories about her cases regularly ever since. She doesn’t like to be in the spotlight, and hates having her picture taken, but she understands the importance of educating the public about animal welfare. As I remember, the first time I wrote about her was a sad case in which some residents had moved away and left their iguanas behind to starve. I can still remember the shriveled green bodies. Her love of animals has never waned over the years. She’s handled vicious dogs that’ve attacked adults, children and other animals, but always treated the dogs with compassion. She saves her choice phrases — her own unique brand of gentle curse words — for the people who neglect and abuse the critters she loves.”
Jessie Stensland, Whidbey News-Times editor
“I first met Carol about 20 years ago, when I volunteered at the Island County Animal Shelter. Carol has always cared deeply about the welfare of animals, as head animal control officer. When the budget crisis hit Island County, her staff was cut and Carol remained as the sole animal control officer for all of Island County, excluding the City of Oak Harbor. That’s a lot of territory to cover for just one person! Carol has to prioritize the calls she receives, answering the most urgent first. She faces many challenging situations, with many little lives depending on her. I thank Carol for taking the time to call and trusting Oasis to step in and assist, when she needs us.”

Girls’ season ends with close losses Meridian downs
South Whidbey boys
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record South Whidbey’s girls basketball season ended after a pair of losses, including a winner-to-the-postseason game against Sultan on Saturday. The Falcons fell 41-29 to the Lakewood Cougars on Friday, in what was South Whidbey’s final home game of the year. On South Whidbey’s senior night, both seniors Abby Hodson and Kristen Schuster started, but could not close out the game. Lakewood held one-point leads at the end of the first and second quarters, and led by only five at the end of the third quarter. The Cougars did their damage in a fast and furious fourth quarter, when they scored 14 of their 41 total points. Defensively, Lakewood locked down South Whidbey to only seven points in the final eight-minute period. Implementing a platoon-like defense, South Whidbey threw out a host of wellrested defenders to pressure, stymie and slow Lakewood. Freshman Sophia Nielsen hounded the ball handler from baseline to baseline, and freshman Mikayla Elfrank recorded a couple of steals and rebounds in limited action on defense. It was not enough, however, as the Cougar junior Marissa Blair powered her way into the key for layups and fouls, from which she scored eight of her game-high 14 points. Lakewood made five of seven free throws in the final quarter, and finished shooting 9-for-13 in the game. South Whidbey, alternately, struggled from the line and made only four of 12 free throws. Hodson led the Falcons with eight points, followed by sophomore Kinsey Eager’s seven, sophomore Kacie

On Saturday, the Falcons played the Sultan Turks in a loser-out game to settle an even record as the third and fourth 1A teams in the Cascade Conference. Only the top three advanced to the 1A District 1 tournament, which began Feb. 9. According to a report from the Daily Herald in Everett, the Falcons held a 12-5 lead by halftime after holding the
Turks scoreless in the second quarter. Out of the break, the Turks stormed back, scoring 13 points in the third quarter to tie the game 18-18. In the final period, Sultan surged ahead to a fivepoint lead, knocking out South Whidbey from the postseason. Eager led the Falcons against Sultan with 11 points. Hanson chipped in six points.
Meridian torched South Whidbey with 11 three-pointers to put the Falcon boys basketball team’s season on the brink of ending after a 60-32 loss Monday night. The Trojans excelled on their home court in the first round of the 1A District 1 tournament, buckling down defensively and forcing the Falcons into a pair of shotclock violations and several empty possessions. Up 32-21 by the start of the second half, the Trojans practically negated the Falcons’ offense, holding South Whidbey to only 11 points the rest of the game. “They were really dialed in tonight,” said Falcon head coach Michael Washington in a post-game telephone interview. “They made us work more, especially to get a shot,” he added. Only Falcon senior Parker Collins scored in double digits, with a game-high 17 points. As has been the case much of the season, the Trojans’ defense keyed on Collins, South Whidbey’s main scorer. Washington said Collins was defended by at least a pair of players most of the game. “They were doubling Parker every time he got the ball,” the Falcons’ coach said. When these teams played in late December, Meridian defended its home court with a 57-48 win. In that game, Trojan senior Alex Martin slashed South Whidbey’s defense with quick moves to the hoop. In an effort to stop Martin on Monday, Washington had South Whidbey start in a zone defense, forcing Meridian to take perimeter shots. “My thought was make them beat us from the perimeter,” Washington said. “They shot the ball well.” Trying a different strategy in the second half was too little, too late. Washington recalled one play that exemplified the kind of hot-shooting night Meridian had in the first round of the district tournament. With the shot clock expiring, a Meridian player got the ball in one of the corners, had a South Whidbey player close in to contest his position, and heaved up an off-kilter shot that fell through at the buzzer.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Sending four of six wrestlers on to the 1A regional wrestling tournament was about as good as it could get for South Whidbey head coach Jim Thompson. The team struggled with its roster this season, starting with about 10 wrestlers before being whittled down to six due to injuries, eligibility issues and quitting. “Four guys got through that I expected to get through,” Thompson said Monday. “They put out the effort,” he added. Two Falcons secured their spots with second-place finishes, one took third place, and another took the last qualifying spot in fourth place. A pair of South Whidbey wrestlers had to fight their way from early losses in the sub-regional round at Mount Baker High School on Feb. 7.
Madison Evans, a junior in the 160pound division, placed third out of six wrestlers. Only the top four advanced, and Evans battled back from a 12-4 firstround loss to Nooksack Valley junior Jared Parson. Evans recovered with a pair of pins against Nooksack Valley junior Gabe Foresee in 3:53 and Sultan freshman Tre Sargent in 3:45 to claim the third spot. Josh McElhinny, a senior, faced a field of eight wrestlers in the 138-pound division. He narrowly edged Sultan junior Nicholas Sorgen 5-4 in the first round before losing to Nooksack Valley sophomore Michael O’Bryan 5-2. McElhinny made quick work dispatching Mount Baker freshman Jonathon Sanchez with a pin in 56 seconds. Another senior, Will Holbert, placed second in the 126-pound division out of four wrestlers. He won his first match, a close 7-6 scrap against Sultan junior
Dalton Miller and was pinned in 1:50 by Sultan senior James Mckenzie in the first-place bout. “I was real proud of him the way he won that match,” Thompson said of Holbert’s last-second takedown to come from behind and beat Miller. Hunter Newman settled for second place after losing the championship match to Sultan sophomore Jamell Carroll. The Falcon sophomore beat Sultan sophomore Jakob Weaver 10-1 in the first bout before being pinned in 2:52 by Carroll. Falcon sophomore Jack Nielson wrestled up a weight class in the 145 and was eliminated after two bouts — a pin by Mount Baker junior Jeremiah Cronk and a 9-7 loss to Nooksack Valley freshman Luke Parson.

Janis Reid / The Record
An estimated 120 trumpeter swans made themselves at home on North Whidbey this winter, a largerthan-usual number. Most of the migrating population wintered in Skagit County.
MERIDIAN CONTINUED FROM A10
“They had one of those nights,” Washington said. South Whidbey’s season will be put to the test when it plays again Thursday night, again as the visiting team. The Falcons play either Mount Baker or Lynden Christian, depending on who loses Tuesday night after The Record went to press. Until then, the Falcons will regroup in practice with an emphasis on defensive intensity and focus, and shooting drills to improve the offensive flow. “We’ve got to go through our stuff and run it, run it, run it, every day,” Washington said.

The cacophony of honks rising from Dugualla Bay Farm is evidence that more trumpeter swans are wintering this year on Whidbey than ever before. More than 100 swans have been counted by state wildlife officials at the North Whidbey spot, double the usual number. There’s a couple of reasons for this, according to Ralph Downes, a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife enforcement officer. First, the swans are continually altering their migration patterns based on where the best habitat is, Downes said. “They find greener and greener pastures,” Downs said. “They’re basically looking for good habitat where they can rest, hunt and feed. It’s not set in stone.” Second, the overall number of swans regionally is on the
“upswing,” according to Paul DeBruyn, a wildlife biologist with the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Nearly extinct in the lower 48 states during the 1930s, that population has now grown to 46,000 in North America, according to the National Park service. A large percentage of the swans winter in the Pacific Northwest, said DeBruyn, and are drawn to farms as a resting spot while in proximity to open water where they can fish. While a total of 120 swans were counted on Whidbey recently, Skagit County remains the premier wintering site in the region for the trumpeter, numbering in the 11,000s. DeBruyn said bird enthusiasts can view 600-700 swans at once in the Conway area in addition to the 100-or-so resting at Dugualla Bay Farm in February.

Seattle Women’s Chorus sings for domestic violence prevention By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record The Seattle Women’s Chorus will sing odes to women of the silver screen in a fundraising event for individuals in crisis. The concert, “Reel Women,” will feature an array of songs in honor of some of the “most famous and scintillating” mavens of the movie industry from the beginning of film cinema to the modern era. It is a benefit for Citizens Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse (CADA). The show will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15 at the South Whidbey High School Performing Arts Center. Tickets cost $25. Flying House Productions, the organization that is home to both the Seattle Men’s Chorus and the Seattle Women’s Chorus, is composed of 650 singers and more than 50 volunteers and associate members. The organization offers 30 outreach events — including several in advocacy for the LGBTQIA community — and 19 main stage performances annually, according to the website. Both the Seattle women’s and men’s choruses have visited Whidbey for CADA benefits in years past. CADA, located in Oak Harbor, offers services to

The Seattle Women’s Chorus will perform “Reel Women,” a benefit concert for Citizens Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse (CADA) on Sunday, Feb. 15. individuals who are experiencing trauma from domestic or sexual abuses. Services include a crisis shelter for women and children, counseling services, referrals to treatment programs and social services, and prevention and outreach efforts. Cynde Robinson, executive director of CADA, said that the center serves about 20 individuals a week. It is the only one of its kind in Island County, and is often
pressed for resources. Often, she said, they are forced to send individuals to shelters in nearby areas such as Marysville, Mt. Vernon or even King County due to a lack of space for women and children and lack of a crisis shelter for men in the area. Last year’s Seattle Men’s Chorus concert generated $18,000 for the nonprofit. This year, Robinson said the goal is to raise between $10,000 to $12,000, she said, as the Seattle Women’s
Chorus concerts tend to attract a somewhat smaller audience. “It is a major fundraiser for us each year,” said Jan Pickard, vice president of CADA and mental health counselor. “We’re very fortunate. …We cherish that relationship; we’re very proud to produce concerts on the island of that caliber.” “CADA is a vital resource for the community in South Whidbey Island, and we are pleased to be able to help
them raise support for their organization and the community,” wrote Matthew Arnold, director of development and marketing for Flying House Productions, in an email to The Record. Arnold explained that the chorus chose the “Reel Women” theme because of their desire to present a show that is enjoyable as well as relevant and informative. “The show not only highlights the considerable achievements by women in film, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes,” wrote Arnold. “It also tells the story of some of the gender inequities in the industry. Many familiar, catchy tunes are performed, along with some fun facts about how the industry can be improved.” Education is also essential to CADA’s mission, said Pickard and Robinson. The majority of funds raised will go towards the organization’s prevention, education and outreach programs. These programs do not receive government funding and get comparatively little from donors. Pickard explained that there are prevention specialists, social workers and counselors in each school district. This is not a mandated resource, she said, but one
which is provided through domestic violence organizations throughout the state. The “Use Your Words” campaign in elementary schools is one example of the prevention programs CADA sponsors. The campaign teaches children to use their words to communicate feelings, rather than hitting or otherwise acting out against others. At the middle and high school levels, there are healthy relationship and antibullying classes to educate students about subjects such as communication and respect. Robinson said that much of what she and her cohorts do at the center is assist individuals in making decisions to better their lives. “It’s not necessarily always leaving an abusive relationship, but working with somebody to find what is their vision of what they want their lives to look like and helping them make those connections,” said Robinson. Tickets for “Reel Women” are available for purchase at Wind and Tide Bookshop in Oak Harbor, the CADA office in Oak Harbor, bayleaf in Coupeville, Useless Bay Coffee in Langley, Moonraker Books in Langley, and Pickles Deli in Clinton.

“Other Desert Cities,” a play by Jon Robin Baitz, is opening at Whidbey Island Center for the Arts this weekend. A finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for drama, the show will open on Feb. 13 and run through Feb. 28. Shows will be at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; and at 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets cost $22 for adults, $18 for seniors, $15 for youth and $15 for everyone during Sunday matinees. It tells the story of a family with differing political views and a long-hidden secret, according to the release, which adds that Baitz contended the work is more about humility than politics. Brooke Wyeth, played by Deana Duncan, is the troubled daughter of a wealthy California family who comes home for the holidays after being away for six years. Upon her homecoming, Wyeth presents her family with a memoir she penned which exposes a tragic family secret, “a wound they don’t want reopened,” according to the release. “This play for me is about the cost of telling the truth and then realizing I (Brooke) didn’t know the truth,” Duncan said, according to the release. “It’s about the courage and strength it takes to finally stop trying to please everyone and finally just say what needs to be said.” Baitz once commented that he wrote the play to explore the consequences of a writer using his or her life as the basis for a work. Wyeth gets much of it wrong, he said according to the release, and has to deal with the fact that there is an “absolute un-knowableness of things,” including her family

elsewhere. From 2013 to 2014, the number of homes for sale on South Whidbey decreased by 12.2 percent. “If we see prices increase, it will only be because of a lack of inventory,” he said. When properties have multiple offers, they are more likely to sell at or above listing price. Though a number of expensive homes sold last year, Mosolino said there were also several more “affordable” homes sold. Mosolino explained that it is a common misconception that real estate brokers prefer a low inventory because it incites more competitive buyers for each home. He said agents strongly prefer a stable, healthy market. “We don’t like this lack of inventory and we don’t like the frenzy created by it.” According to Mosolino, it is the best time for a seller, however. “We’re actually knocking on doors, asking people if they would sell their home,” he said. Despite the competitive market, Mosolino clarified that it is still important for potential sellers to price their homes reasonably. Homes that are priced too high are likely to remain on the market for an especially long time, indicating that the home is either unreasonably expensive or damaged in some way. Mosolino added that sellers often make the mistake of taking their homes off the market during autumn and through the winter holidays. In fact, he said, agents consistently make sales throughout the colder months. More than 22,000 Northwest Multiple Listing Service brokers completed 77,276 sales across 21 counties in the organization’s region, which encompasses much of Western and Central Washington State. The combined total of these sales was valued at nearly $28 billion for 2014, an increase of 1,759 units sold, or 2.3 percent, compared to 2013. It was a
9.4 percent gain in terms of dollars compared to 2013. The median price of single family homes and condos across the 21 counties was $285,000 for 2014. Wanda Grone, Island County treasurer, said that the rise in home prices is indicative of an increased demand, meaning that individuals are moving to Whidbey and Camano. Grone said that this is a positive sign for the county. “Hopefully it means people will be moving in and spending money, which will generate sales tax revenue,” Grone said. She added that the increase in the median home price means that property values will eventually rise as well. Mosolino says homeowners’ property values are solidifying. He and Grone each said, however, that increases in tax assessments will likely not happen for one year to one and a half years. The assessor’s office, they explained, trails behind the current market. The increase is a continuation of a gradual positive trend which began in 2012, after the statewide housing market burst in 2008. In 2007, the median home price had hit a record high at $305,000 in Island County. From 2008 onward, median home prices fell annually afterward with the lowest value of $249,900 in 2011. In 2012, the median price rose a tad to $250,000 and increased by another 2 percent in 2013 to $255,000. King County’s median single family home value remained the highest in the state for 2014 at $440,000 with 24,393 units sold. Nearby San Juan County’s median value for single family homes was $400,000 with 274 units sold; Skagit County’s median price was $235,000 with 1,635 units sold; and Snohomish’s median price was $326,360 with 9,677 units sold. The number of new listings for single family homes and condominiums for Island County last year was 2,132, a decrease of 1.39 percent from 2,162 in 2013.

ning rather than the mayor promoting his pet project,” McCarthy said. That starts with gathering “stakeholder” and public input. Questions about how each option would work, its construction cost and longterm operation estimates may be answered during the March meeting. “There’s an element of public input in this,”
McCarthy said. At this point, estimates of construction and operations costs were not known by the city. But Langley has $500,000 in county grant funding secured for a marina-to-town connection. Sharon Emerson, a Langley resident and critic of the previous projects and the city’s approach, wrote in an email to the mayor and planning director that other, more pressing questions should be addressed first. She said the city should first
Page A13
figure out what problem it is trying to solve with the project, citing increased marina use and projected increased spending in Langley, an attraction to draw visitors, use for moving supplies and people to their boats, emergency access to the marina, and easier mobility-impaired access to the waterfront. “I don’t see the point in doing the charrette unless they have some really solid information,” Emerson said. “Without more information, I don’t think any of us
want to decide what’s best,” she added. The city is looking into at least seven options and as many as 12, from the funicular to a trolley. Davolio envisioned having image depictions, plus a list of pros and cons for each at the meeting tentatively scheduled for late March. “This is a time when we need either bulletin boards and kiosks with pictures and pluses and minuses of what each are,” McCarthy said.

Prison time for disgraced Oak Harbor attorney By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Doug Saar, a formerly prominent Oak Harbor attorney, was shackled and dressed in orange jail garb as he stood in front of a packed courtroom and a TV camera Friday morning in Island County Superior Court. He sat through nearly two and a half hours of emotionally charged speeches and arguments over how much time he deserves behind bars for stealing more than $200,000 from two clients, including money that was supposed to go to Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation. Saar, formerly a partner with the Law Offices of Skinner and Saar, finally got the chance to speak before he was sentenced. He apologized to his victims, to his colleagues at his former law firm and to his family. “I stand here humbled, your honor,” he said tearfully. “I have appeared in this courtroom hundreds of times as a lawyer, wearing a suit. I brought my kids to this courtroom so they could see what I did, so they could see what lawyers did. Now I stand here with an orange jail suit.” Skagit County Judge Susan Cook filled in for the Island County judges who recused themselves from the sentencing hearing. She didn’t offer Saar much mercy but went along with the prosecutor’s sentencing recommendation and sent him to prison for a year and five months. Saar will have to pay restitution in an amount that will be decided at a later date. Cook contradicted the defense sentencing memorandum, which she said attempted to characterize Saar’s crimes as excessive billing during a time when he was under financial stress. She emphasized that Saar did “a great deal more” than overbill. “I do think there was a certain sense of entitlement on the part of Mr. Saar here,” she said, “thinking that his lifestyle justified taking the property of others to support it.” Saar was sentenced under a unique plea bargain in which he pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree theft in one case and agreed to a three-month jail sentence, which he began serving last month. In the other case, he pleaded guilty to two counts of theft in the first degree and one
Doug Saar count of money laundering. Both sides argued the sentence for those charges at the hearing Friday. Saar previously pleaded guilty to first-degree theft for stealing $100,000 from a client in a San Juan County case. He was sentenced to electronic home monitoring and community service. Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks argued that Saar deserves the 17-month prison sentence. He emphasized that Saar had plenty of opportunities to “fess up” but instead continued to steal in an effort to hide his previous thefts. He said Saar stole 32 different times and even took cash from a dead woman’s purse. “He just took it,” Banks said. “And he took it over and over and over again.” Banks said Saar’s entire motive was to keep up a lifestyle that was beyond his means. He said tax returns show that Saar made more than $200,000 a year and owned a $1-million home, but his wife wrote in a letter to the court that they had more than $28,000 a month in bills. Several people affected by the crimes spoke at the hearing and urged the judge to send Saar to prison. Kevin Upton spoke in a raised voice, admitting he was very angry. Saar stole from a trust his parents had set up for him and his brother. He claimed that Saar convinced his father to name Saar as trustee while his father was suffering from dementia and on his death bed; then Saar looted the fund. Both Upton and attorney Carolyn Cliff described how they uncovered the theft, which Upton said has cost him both emotionally and financially. Cliff told a detailed story about how what she thought was a run-of-the-mill case unraveled into a complicated deception. She said Saar lied to her and cost the Uptons a lot of money by fighting them
at every step. She said Saar apparently has access to “a river of money,” which he is spending on attorneys in an attempt to protect himself instead of repaying the victims. Christon Skinner, Saar’s former partner, described how an attorney at the firm discovered Saar’s theft in the San Juan County case; he said he had to report Saar to the sheriff’s office and the bar association, which caused him many sleepless nights. He said the crimes cost his firm in reputation and financially. Skinner said Saar’s lack of jail time in the San Juan County case caused “a ripple through the legal community.” But he said his biggest concern is that Saar doesn’t seem to take responsibility for his actions. “My former friend Doug
is blaming his behavior on everyone else,” he said. Cindy Wilbert, treasurer for WAIF, said the animal welfare organization has felt the absence of funds it was promised. She said the members of the organization feel that the crime was especially egregious because Saar is an attorney and in a position of trust. On the other hand, Saar’s attorney, James Frush of Seattle, asked that Saar be sentenced under a Parenting Sentencing Alternative, which could allow him to avoid imprisonment beyond the three months he is currently serving. Frush pointed to all the heartfelt letters of support that his client’s family and friends wrote. Frush and the letter-writers emphasized that Saar is a devoted father who has two teenagers and two
babies to care for. Saar and his wife moved to another community where he started a thriving landscaping business by going door to door. He hopes to take classes in viticulture this fall, his attorney said. Saar’s wife and many others argued in their letters that sending Saar to prison for a longer term would unjustly punish his young children more than anyone else. Frush said Saar’s actions were out of character but were the result of financial
stress that he felt beginning when the economy tanked in 2008. He also argued that the public anger against Saar is out of proportion for what he did. He said he’s never seen such animosity or “desire for punishment” in a case before. “When you strip away the rhetoric and you strip away this cry for vengeance,” he a i tlook to at s ave said,Why “and w you whatm on i g h t before for a fyou, re e qu younhave youo te o have a situation that is a tragedy for everybody.”

ping their massive anchors. The experience was a first all around. The Coupes have lived in Greenbank for more than 50 years, and these are the first container ships in Holmes Harbor that they can remember. “It was pretty interesting,” Mary Coupe said. “We’ve never seen this before.” Calvert confirmed that Holmes Harbor is an official anchorage and has been since World War II, though it’s rarely put to use. He’s been with Vessel Traffic Service for 20 years and this is the first time it’s happened under his watch, he said. In all, the greater Seattle area — Whidbey included — has anchorage for 27 large container ships. Another six spots are available in Bellingham, he said. Holmes Harbor has space for three, and it’s possible that the extra spot will be taken up soon. Calvert couldn’t say how long the Hanjin Yantian and Conti Basel will be here, possibly a week or more, but even if they leave additional boats may take their place. “They’ll be coming in from most everywhere,” he said, as other ports along the West Coast are also backed up from the weekend’s closure. Information about ships can be viewed at www.ves selfinder.com, a free website that tracks shipping and vessels. Based on the website, the Hanjin was built in 2005, has a gross tonnage of 82,794 and is bound for Seattle. Similarly, the Conti Basel was built in 2003, has gross tonnage of 65,918 and its last port of call was Shanghai, China. It’s also destined for Seattle. Both ships are sailing under the German flag.
Wednesday, February 11, 2015 • The South Whidbey Record
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Freeland and Clinton RadioShack owner Mike Rains checks the point-of-sales system Tuesday morning. As a franchise owner, his stores will not be closed in the wake of RadioShack Corp. filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy Feb. 5.
RADIOSHACK CONTINUED FROM A1
While the stores carry the RadioShack logo, signs and have the franchise look, Rains said his stores’ business comes from things beyond RadioShack prod-
ucts. “We concentrate more on things outside of RadioShack, things that people need: computer repair, virus removal, TVs, ink, MP3 players,” he said. “The Greatest Generation knew us from RadioShack,” Rains added. “Unfortunately, their kids don’t.” On South Whidbey, electronics retailers are hard to come by, leaving RadioShack with a near-captive audience. Part of Rains’ marketing and branding
plan has been to accentuate the different services and additional products beyond standard RadioShack stores. During the opening hour Tuesday, a pair of customers came in holding remnants of what used to be a power cable for a car’s DVD player and a pair of headphones. They didn’t know the brand, but asked Rains for help finding a fix or replacement anyway. “We’re still the resource for technology,” he said.
