Apple concedes Whidbey map errors, promises fix By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record After three years of complaints, tech giant Apple Inc. acknowledged two major Whidbey Island errors on its mobile map program this week and promised to have at least one of the problems fixed within

two months. Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson broke the good news late Thursday afternoon with a call to The Record, saying she’d been contacted by a company representative and assured the Langley issue was being addressed. “He said it would be fixed before May 1,”

Price Johnson said. The Whidbey error is also being tackled, but it wasn’t immediately clear whether it would be fixed within the same timeframe. Apple Maps, a navigational program that comes built-in to mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads and laptop computers, currently says Langley and Whidbey Island are

both located on Hat Island, a small privately owned isle located in Possession Sound between Everett and South Whidbey. Directions to either destination instruct drivers to take a small passenger-only SEE APPLE, A8

Clinton landslide claims another Brighton Beach cabin By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record A large slide of earth and trees crashed into a Clinton beachfront cabin, knocking it off its foundation and forcing Island County to restrict entry and occupancy. In late February, a rush of mud, clay, water, trees and brush slid from a 200-foot high bluff and down toward Puget Sound, wrecking one Campers Row Walk structure and filling another with sediment. Both are owned by the same family. There were no injuries or fatalities from the slide. The two buildings have since been red tagged by county regulators, meaning they may not be entered for safety reasons. They belonged to the Wood family, siblings who were out of town when

the mudslide occurred. Mud accumulated high enough to reach the bluffside eaves of the first story of the northern-most cabin. “I haven’t dared go up there,” said owner Frances Wood, who writes The Record’s Whidbey Birding column. “There’s been such a long history of family times there it’s frankly hard to imagine that that’s gone,” she added. Island County restricted occupancy after a geotechnical expert reviewed the site Feb. 26. On Feb. 27, Island County posted the red tags on the exterior of the buildings, which are surrounded by an increasingly thick flow of sticky sediment. SEE LANDSLIDE, A8

A South Whidbey School District policy to name online the requestors of public records may be a violation of federal student privacy laws. Open government champions have expressed concern that the policy may run afoul of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, commonly referred to as FERPA. The rules protect student education records from public disclosure, and apply to all schools that receive U.S. Department of Education funding, including South Whidbey. Several parents have now joined those raising concern about the policy, specifically its implications concerning FERPA, and they’ve either already taken or are considering legal action against the school district. Superintendent Jo Moccia this week confirmed that the district’s online document has been modified to reflect some of those concerns, but that there is disagreement about whether a FERPA violation has actually occurred. “The district disagrees with the legal interpretation,” she said. Completely separate and autonomous from the state’s Open Public Records Act, which allows the publication of requestors identities, FERPA prohibits the release of records to anyone but adult students and parents. The problem is they are different sets of rules with different requirements, and that means the requests can’t be handled the same way. Specifically, listing FERPA requestors with those who have asked for records under the state records act is not permitted, according to Michele Earl-

Hubbard, president of Allied Law Group and one of the state’s leading open government attorneys. “If they are treating these as the same thing, they are breaking federal privacy laws,” she said. Earl-Hubbard is vice president of the Washington Coalition for Open Government, a non-partisan and non-profit organization that works through the courts and the state Legislature to defend and strengthen Washington’s open government laws. The school’s online document, first posted in December, listed the identities of requestors who voluntarily gave their names, what they asked for and the estimated cost to the district to satisfy the request. It listed people who made state records requests, but also at least two parents who asked for student documents. Both say they asked school district officials to remove their names and the details of their requests, but changes weren’t made until this week. The modification came in the wake of Clinton residents Mark Helpenstell’s and Tisa Seely’s reading of a letter from their attorney to the school board at the group’s February meeting. They alleged that identifing Helpenstell online violated a number of statutes, but particularly FERPA. Boiled down, they contend that in a small community like South Whidbey it all but named their child. Also, listing the details of such requests alerts the public to the existence of certain kinds of records. For example, if a parent asks for disciplinary records and the request is published then the genSEE POLICY, A8

SWA underwater robotics program seeks funding By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record On a recent Wednesday afternoon, a dozen or so brightly clad South Whidbey Academy middle schoolers buzzed about on one side of Timmie Sinclair’s “bat cave” chattering, problemsolving, labeling and affixing. On the opposite end of the classroom, a group of nine high schoolers clad in black Robotics Anonymous T-shirts concentrated a similar, though somewhat more complex, project. The students are all a part of South Whidbey Academy’s Under water Robotics Program. Students who have completed the middle school level robotics class may apply to be a part of Robotics Anonymous. The program provides middle and high school students a chance to delve into science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) with hands-on projects aimed

Groups are divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced levels with the difficulty of the missions suited to each. “Technology is the future,” said seventh-grader Sarah Rosenberger. “It’s not going away, even if we wanted it to.” In constructing the robots, students use recycled materials; all electric elements are biodegradable and do not contain hazardous substances. Sinclair noted that the focus of the competition is on education, innovation and community. Students encourage and support of one another, even those on opposing teams. In addition to an array of STEM-related lessons, the

program also encourages students to think as entrepreneurs. According to parent Emily Uhl, whose 11-year-old son Simon Uhl is participating in the program for the first time this year, Sinclair’s method of designating team “CEOs” and “parsing out” work requires students to take ownership and “sink or swim” based upon their own drive. “It’s good life skills,” eighth grader Sabrina Carey said.

Accounting error led to free sewer service in Langley 10 properties not billed, one since July 2012 By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record An accounting error by Langley Public Works led to 10 properties receiving free sewer service, one as far back as July 2012. Once discovered by Utilities Supervisor Randi Perry, who went through each account while working on the Langley Comprehensive Plan update, $337 bills were sent out covering one year of base sewer service, even though some technically owed more. The decision made by Langley Public Works was an acknowledgement of its own culpability. “It’s embarrassing when government makes a mistake,” said Public Works Director Stan Berryman. “I guess government is like everybody else, it does happen.” Langley was legally advised it could not waive the costs because it would be a gift of public funds. The unexpected billing,

Langley Public Works Director Stan Berryman however, drew the ire of resident Monica Guzman. She runs a bed and breakfast in her family’s home on Park Street and brought up the issue during Monday’s city council meeting. She was charged more than $700 ($337 of it was the delinquent charge) after not paying sewer fees as part of her combined city utilities bill for two years. More than the cost, which Guzman said was no small thing, she criticized how it was handled by Berryman. In January, Guzman said Berryman called her and asked her a handful of questions about her residence

and business. At no point, said Guzman, did he inform her of the delinquent payments. When a bill for about $680 came in the mail, she was floored. “I had no idea. I was paying my bills regularly,” Guzman said in a phone interview Thursday. “I’m not the kind of moron that doesn’t pay the bills,” she added, citing a recent bill that listed water, stormwater and a utility tax, but excluded sewer. Berryman, for his part, said he thought he had informed Guzman of the issue and the oncoming debt. After being out of the state in February, Guzman said her daughter and grandchild arrived home Feb. 24 to find the water was shut off. That was especially disconcerting because Guzman thought she had an agreement with the mayor to sort out the problem when she returned in March. “It is totally, totally, out of line,” said Guzman, who also volunteers on the city’s Civil Service Commission. “The way it was handled, it was wrong,” she added.

Berryman did not know delinquent payments are he added. how the mistakes were laid out in the Langley Guzman said when she made, or even Municipal Code writes checks for her utiliwhen.

Road looks long, but Island Transit finally heading the right way

Response

Hospital spotlight is welcome Editor, Kudos to Whidbey News Group staffers Jessie Stensland, Michelle Beahm, and South Whidbey Record’s Justin Burnett for shedding light on recent activities at Whidbey General Hospital. The imminent changeover of CEOs at our public hospital provides a historic opportunity to reverse a decade-long slide and return the place to being a “patients first” facility. This simply won’t happen unless our community papers are relentless in demanding that the hospital board members cease their practices of non-transparency, cover-ups and special interest dealings. It’s wonderful to see new blood, including in local editorial offices, exposing rather than assisting the WGH administration in its misdeeds. Keep it up—and you will literally be performing life-saving services for our community. Let’s all welcome new CEO Geri Forbes as well. She has publicly pledged to set a new tone, usher in a new era of openness and rebuild a cohesive leadership team. Let’s hold her to that and lend her the support she’ll need in this challenging undertaking.

While Island Transit clearly has much to do to rebuild the bus system — and the public trust — we are encouraged by interim IT Director Ken Graska’s grasp of the job ahead. Beyond the financial mess that led to the departure of the previous executive director, we are learning there’s an aging fleet of buses. Some of the vehicles are inoperable and unusable. Those will need to be dealt with. There’s also the issue of grant money that may have been used improperly to pay for gazebos at the new transit center. That’s funding that may need to be returned to the government, according to Graska. Graska is right in saying that these and other fixes cannot happen overnight, but it appears he is clear on what needs to be done. Since major cuts last summer, Island Transit has reinstated 70 percent of the axed bus services. Graska is also cleaning up shop, addressing items needed for surplus and figuring out how to recoup some costs. Under the interim executive director and mostly new board of directors, Island Transit seems to be eliminating unnecessary weight, finding ways to bring in additional funding and bringing about some semblance of order and accountability. Getting back to the basics is exactly what the transit agency must do, according to Graska, and we agree. It took years for IT to get into its current condition. Fixing the myriad of problems won’t happen overnight. The public needs to be open to changes to the transit system, including advertising on the buses and charging of fares. Such major changes won’t happen without IT first holding public meetings, said Graska. It’s refreshing to hear that, after years of little-to-no accountability or communication with the public, IT officials are now prepared to embrace the notion of public involvement. IT is still on a bumpy road to recovery, but at least it’s finally headed in the right direction.

challenged sailors will be freed from the shackles of gravity! Still, I have some doubts. We already spent $2.4 million on a marina expansion, do we really need to lavish another half million on our suffering yacht owners? And is it really the city’s job to continually prop up the low-wage tourism industr y? Maybe, just maybe, is it time for city hall to turn its pale, unblinking eye in another direction?

At his request, we will have a potluck celebrating Harvey’s life at 1 p.m. Sunday, April 12, at Holmes Harbor Rod & Gun Club. Bring some stories.

Harvey K. Friesen Jr.

Harvey Friesen was born in Bothell, Wash., July 4, 1947, to Harvey Sr. and Gladys Friesen. Papa, as he was known to his grandsons, passed away peacefully Feb. 19, 2015, after enduring an extended illness for years. After graduating from Bothell High, he attended Shoreline CC for his associate degree before transferring to Washington State. Go Cougars. A year and a half later, he decided he had enough schooling, falling one semester shy of getting his biology and physical education teaching degree. He opened his own business, HighCountry outfitters, and started taking city folks up in the mountains.

Roger David Steele

Roger David Steele, a longtime Langley resident, passed away Feb. 28, 2015, while fighting his battle against cancer with his wife of 59 years, Marlene Steele, at his side. Roger was born in Knox County, Ill., March 12, 1930, and was the youngest of five children born to William and Eva Steele. Roger’s family moved to Langley in 1941, and he graduated from Langley High School in 1948. After serving his country during the Korean War,

Roger married the love of his life, Marlene Beatrice Braathen. He became one of the longest-tenured loggers on South Whidbey, partnering with Paul Furman and logging everything he could from Island and Snohomish counties. Roger and Marlene had five beautiful daughters, Amy Jenkins (Harry), Jeanie Piontek (George), Diana Gadek (Jerry), Lori Jackson (Dave) and Linda Steele. Roger and Marlene also had 11 grandchildren, Chantil Jenkins, Nicole O’Brien, Geoffrey Piontek, Lisa Piontek, Jessica Frank, Jason Gadek (Danielle), Amanda Thompson, David Tegano, Melissa Mather, Reagan Fitzke and Ryan Fitzke, and four great-grandchildren, Dalton and Jameson Gadek and Dominic and Jamie Thompson. Roger enjoyed playing golf for decades at Useless Bay, his Mariners and Seahawks, and traveling throughout the United States. He loved the casino in Anacortes and his many, many friends and relatives. Roger was preceded in death by his brothers, Chuck and Billy Steele; his sister, Alice Furman; brothers-inlaw, Omer Porter and Paul Furman; and sister-in-law, Marion Miller. Roger is survived by his wife, Marlene; his five daughters and their families; his sister, Jean Porter; and his brother-in-law, Dave Braathen (Toby).

Apple Inc this week alerted Island County that it would address several long-standing Whidbey errors on Maps, the navigation/map program that comes built-in on mobile devices, such as iPhone, iPads and laptop computers.

ferry from an Everett marina to the tiny 1.5-mile-long by half-mile-wide island, also known as Gedney. Apple’s media department has not responded to repeated requests for comment from The Record for this story and others. Exactly how long the errors have existed remains unconfirmed, but it appears their origins may stretch back to 2012 when Apple stopped using Google Maps for its mobile device Maps program.

LANDSLIDE CONTINUED FROM A1

One neighbor, Peter Van Giesen, has regularly monitored the growth and measured it at six inches per day. Where there was once a yard is now a shiny gray morass, slowly creeping toward the water. In spots, a trickle of sediment-rich water runs into the sea, streaking the beach with

Several Whidbey residents and one Bainbridge man said they’ve reported the issues to the company dozens of times but with no results. Langley City Councilman Thomas Gill is one of those who’s been complaining about the problems, which he says have been present for three years. He’s reported many issues, and some concerning business locations have been fixed, but he’s never had any luck with the Langley error. “Trying to get Langley and some parks moved has been like pulling teeth,” Gill said. The Record published two stories

off-gray. “This whole area is subject to slides,” said Bill Oakes, Island County Public Works director. “This is a steep, unstable bluff. When we get high groundwater, it tends to destabilize this. It’s all mapped as geohazard.” This past December, a sudden slide after a particularly wet wind storm obliterated a cabin next door to the Woods and damaged the their build-

on the issue in February, one concerning the Langley error, which was picked up by at least one Seattle television news station, and another about the Whidbey error. But it appears it was a letter from the commissioners that finally did the trick. The board agreed Wednesday to authorize Price Johnson to contact Apple and ask that the inaccuracies be addressed. The rep said the commissioner’s request had been received and that technicians were working to correct the errors. Many other letters sent from members of the public and other government organizations following The Record’s coverage were likely a major contributor as well, she said. Whatever the case, the important thing is the problem has finally been acknowledged and is in the process of being addressed, she said. She noted that the Apple representative pointed out that searches for specific addresses and businesses work fine, that only broad searches for “Langley” and “Whidbey” were inaccurate. Gill has reminded people of the same fact in story comments on The Record’s website, but he said Friday that the general searches can be some of the most important because many of the people who enter them probably aren’t aware of specific businesses or addresses. As for whether or not Apple will hold true to its May 1 fix, Gill said only time will tell. “I have no idea, but I certainly hope and pray,” he said. “It’s been three and nothing has happened yet.”

ing as well. The destroyed cabin’s wreckage remains covered with mud and scattered over the bulkhead toward the water. The county issued notices to the beach homes from Hastings Road to 6106 Camper’s Row Walk that the bluff is “demonstrating higher than usual instability.” The cabin just south of the two red-tagged structures was given a yellow tag, limiting entry to daylight hours and only in short periods of time. “It continues to move and we’ve cautioned everybody to stay away from these … They continue to ooze,” Oakes said.

One of the Wood family’s cabins will need to have a structural evaluation if they wish to live there during the wet months, Oakes said. The building, though seemingly intact, is surrounded by mud and clay and from outside the floors were covered in at least a foot of sediment. “The force of nature is relentless,” said Van Giesen, who dealt with a landslide two decades ago at his walk-in community’s cabin. “The very nature of the beach and the coast is it’s moving,” he added.

eral public now knows that such records may exist. “Clinton is a small community and Mr. Helpenstell is well known as a civic leader,” wrote Katherine A. George, Helpenstell’s and Seely’s attorney in the letter to the board. “The school district is violating FERPA in its misguided attempt to humiliate records requesters, and punishing a child simply because his parents are trying to oversee his education.” Helpenstell is a South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District commissioner. George, an attorney with Seattle-based Harrison-Benis, LLP, is also a board member for the Washington Coalition for Open Government. She specializes in state sunshine laws and education. In her letter, George called the identification of requestors a “shaming” policy, citing quotes from open government advocates, including Earl-Hubbard, and school board members in recent coverage by The Record. In a later interview, she echoed Earl-Hubbard’s concerns, saying FERPA and the state’s rules are not the same. She claims Helpenstell and Seely asked for FERPA records but is still being listed with people who asked for state records act documents. “It’s being treated as a public records request and it’s not,” George said. Moccia acknowledged this week that the district recognizes the difference between the two sets of rules and says the two are not handled the same way. People who specifically ask for documents under FERPA are not and will not be included in the online document. “Clearly, a FERPA request is a FERPA request; it’s different,” Moccia said. She contends, however, that Helpenstell’s request began as a state records request, making his name disclosable. Also, the district’s attorney disagrees that parent identities are nondisclosable even if they ask for student records, she said. A description of the records sought may be a different story, and out of con-

cern for student privacy, said Moccia, the online document was modified — the description now only says, “student records.” Moccia said she couldn’t help but question the voiced privacy concerns, however, when George’s letter was emailed to newspapers. She also noted that just because a record is requested doesn’t mean it actually exists. Helpenstell said the online change was a positive step but doesn’t go far enough. George’s letter asked for the description and his name to be struck from the document immediately. As it has yet to happen, he said the next step is to file a complaint with the Department of Education’s FERPA compliance office. If the dispute is still not resolved, they may consider other options, he said. “I’d like to believe the school board will do the right thing here and we won’t have to explore that,” Helpenstell said. If a lawsuit was pursued, it’s unclear how much of a case they’d have. Eric Hood, the other parent who asked for students records, recently filed an emergency “motion to protect student privacy” in federal court. The motion, which was filed under seal, was denied, according to court documents. Hood declined to be interviewed for this story. According to Moccia, the intent behind the policy has always been to keep the board informed about the time and resources dedicated to addressing records requests; it’s never been geared toward discouraging people from asking for information, she said. Furthermore, the policy itself has generated so much attention that it’s created a workload that’s taking her away from other, more important matters. She’s now questioning whether the policy is worth all the trouble. “I’m spending so much time on this; I’ve got other things to do,” Moccia said. “From my perspective, I’d rather not do it at all.” Moccia said the policy and possible changes will likely be discussed at the board’s next meeting, March 25. A workshop is at 6 p.m. and the business meeting begins at 6:30 p.m.

Expert gives Whidbey beekeepers something to buzz about Todd Peterson’s girls have become unusually early risers. The longtime Whidbey beekeeper leaned against his truck and glanced at the pile of wooden boxes neatly stacked in the sunny yard of his old farm. The boxes contain a beehive, home to a colony of about 12,000 of Peterson’s bees, which he affectionately addresses as his “ladies.” The bees don’t leave the hive until the temperature is at least 50 degrees, though they prefer it to be warmer. On Thursday afternoon, an audible buzz emitted from the hive as several of the insects clustered around its entrance and others ventured off a ways, perhaps in search of food. It’s the earliest Peterson has ever seen them rising from their winter rest. Though bees don’t hibernate, they remain clustered together in order to maintain a hive temperature of about 90 degrees throughout the chilly winter. The colony is one of four Peterson tends to on the island. All are honeybees, annually producing a rich and nutritious golden treat for Peterson, his friends and family. Depending on which plants the bees frequent for pollination, their honey will produce distinct flavors and variations in color. On Whidbey, the most popular strain of honey is blackberry. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, honeybees’ cross-pollination helps at least 30 percent of the world’s crops and 90 percent of wild plants to thrive and produce food. “They’re fascinating creatures…extremely industrious and beautiful,” Peterson said. “They read the world in a way that I can’t.” “There is so much in our world that is unpredictable and chaotic,” he added. “The bees are productive and energetic and that is good to be around.” Peterson began beekeeping about 30 years ago. At around the same time, beekeeping pioneers Dan and Judy Harvey moved to a

Todd Peterson, a member of the group Whidbees, feeds his honeybees. remote area of the Northern Olympic Peninsula. Soon thereafter, the Harveys began their research into the unique area honeybee population rumored to have survived despite the drastic decrease in the bee populations internationally and their work to breed “survivor bees.” On Wednesday, the Harveys visited the Freeland Library to present their research to a packed room of Whidbey bee enthusiasts, including about 30 members of the island beekeeper group, Whidbees, of which

Peterson is a part. Audience members listened intently as Dan Harvey spoke of his findings and his progress. Like Peterson, the majority of Whidbees’ members are greatly concerned with the survival of their most beloved insects. Sooja Nehrlich, a Whidbees member, said she joined after reading about the struggle of honeybees worldwide. “I wanted to do my part providing a healthy environment for them,” Nehrlich said.

likely developed a resistance to mites similar to the Asian honeybees. Harvey interbred them with SMR, or suppressed mite reduction bee stock, which had been developed by the USDA in the 1990s due to their hygienic behavioral characteristics (they immediately clear out any larvae in the hive which they determine to be sickly or deceased). Due to the invasion of new problems such as the virus Nosema, the Harveys have experienced several setbacks, but they have also made great gains. In 2012, a study from Denmark determined that, after careful breeding, Danish bees had developed a resistance to the virus Nosema. Since 2012, the Harveys have only experienced a 10 percent loss in bees each year, compared to a 90 percent loss from 2007-

Kathy Maxwell, also a member and wife of club president Dan Maxwell, wrote in an email to The Record that her husband also takes great pride in caring for “his girls.” “I know it is with great affection even if they do take an intense and rather stinging dislike of him,” Maxwell, who is currently away in Arizona with her husband, wrote. Honeybee deaths, which peaked in the early to mid 2000s, were due in part to widespread Colony Collapse Disorder, as well as the infestation of mites, including varroa destructors. Though Asian honeybees had developed a resistance to varroa mites, European honeybees had not. Several other issues such as new forms of bacteria and pathogens and habitat decline further contributed to the devastation of colonies. Harvey has been working extensively to breed survivor bees, resistant to mites, pathogens and bacteria. His hives are unmedicated, meaning that he uses natural methods of preventing infestations and contamination. He surmises that the unique survivor bees of the Olympic Peninsula were the descendants of bees early 20th-century homesteaders had ordered from the Sears and Roebuck catalogue. Many of these bees were from Eastern Russia, and

2011, and are working with researchers and national laboratories to further strengthen their stock. The Harveys instructed attendees on ways to inspect the health of their own hives and offered information as to purchasing queens bred from survivor stock. For beekeepers like Peterson, the Harveys offered the ultimate encouragement. Though he said it is impossible to know whether the bee population can be bolstered to its pre2000s number, Peterson said he is confident that the number will increase with proper care and continued study. “It’s a window on the natural world,” Peterson said. “The bees tell you about what’s going on in nature.” For more information on Whidbees, email sooja@ whidbey.com or visit the group Facebook page.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:

AQUARIUS, PISCES AND ARIES.

Week of March 8 to 14, 2015 ARIES

Strong emotions are on the agenda for this week. There’s more risk of receiving criticism when you put yourself in situations where you have to make all the decisions.

TAURUS

You may have to use your elbows a bit to manoeuvre yourself into a good position. In addition, you’re given the opportunity to travel and discover new cultures.

GEMINI

You’re sure to play an important role for friends and colleagues. All these people should help you during a necessary transition period.

CANCER

You welcome your loved ones into your home. You have lots of fun, but don’t forget that guests aren’t obligated to help you clean up.

LEO

There are lots of people around you who never stop commenting about what you’re doing. It’s important to listen to your inner voice, which will guide you in the right direction.

VIRGO

Even if you like the stability and financial independence that your job gives you, you may consider dropping everything for a life filled with adventure and creativity.

LIBRA

You’re overflowing with ideas and initiatives. In fact, you’re constantly changing your plans according to your mood. This is an irritation to some of your loved ones.

SCORPIO

A little confusion is possible early in the week, but all you need is a second cup of coffee to regain your drive. You can accomplish several small miracles.

SAGITTARIUS

After a very stressful time, it’s important to take a step back and rest properly. You need to relax and recharge your batteries.

CAPRICORN

You do a lot of overtime at work. Fortunately, you get some interesting invitations from your friends who want to help you unwind.

AQUARIUS

Whether it’s a trip or just a romantic getaway, you enjoy having your head in the clouds for a while. You even think about living abroad or experiencing some sort of journey.

PISCES

You feel the need to shake things up a bit. A few changes within your circle of friends helps you relieve some stress and experience new goals that are more in line with your needs.
