Langley eyes funicular, walkway for marina access fix Eminent domain considered for shoreline property By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record From April’s charrette, Langley’s mayor and planning
chief are recommending the construction of a funicular and building a waterfront walkway that may require the taking of private property through eminent domain. Michael Davolio, director of Langley Community Planning, presented the city’s preferred options to the Planning Advisory Board on Wednesday. About 20
people, including Mayor Fred McCarthy and mayoral candidate Sharon Emerson, also attended the meeting. Davolio’s report followed an April charrette in which 130 people gave input on ways to improve access to the marina, from making use of golf carts and trolleys to building an elevator and bridge.
His proposed solution included an interim patch and a long-term project. Island Transit is considering the city’s request for bus service to the marina, which Davolio said was the short-term solution. The construction of a waterfront walkway and funicular were proposed as the long-term solution to
Langley’s marina access issue. Both projects were supported by McCarthy, who cited public support for the walkway and a last-minute idea of bus service to the marina. “They’re very creative and SEE ACCESS PROJECT, A5

Sheriff’s office educates students on Internet, digital do’s, don’ts following school incidents By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Earlier this year, a 15-year-old boy at South Whidbey High School was caught allegedly taking photos up girls’ skirts with a cell phone. Around Christmastime last year, a
16-year-old Oak Harbor student wrote a message on Facebook, apparently as a prank, threatening to shoot up a dance at North Whidbey Middle School, according to court documents. Last fall, a boy at Langley Middle School got into trouble and ended up facing a criminal charge after allegedly

Several newcomers stepped forward for open public offices on South Whidbey this week. The Langley City Council, the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District and South Whidbey Fire/EMS all saw people file for open seats during Island County filing week, which ended at 4:30 p.m. May 15, after The Record went to press. Despite having three positions up for election, only one newcomer filed for Position 3, currently held by Councilman Jim Sundberg, who decided not to seek re-election. Ursula Shoudy is running for his position. The Langley City Council will likely see a pair of familiar faces next year. Councilman Bruce Allen is seeking his second term unopposed, as is Robin Black who is seeking to serve the remaining two years of the Position 2 term that was vacated by Margot Jerome midway through 2014. South Whidbey Fire/EMS has only one candidate for its open commissioner, Position 3: Frank Mestemacher, who has previously run for the fire protection district’s board. SEE FILING WEEK, A10

Forum to hone in on Whidbey’s mental health issues By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record A forum on South Whidbey will tackle the complex issues surrounding mental health and its treatment next week. The forum, to be held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Trinity Lutheran Church, is “mainly for education and to get rid of the stigma of mental illness,” according to organizer Linda Plitkins. “We need to start this discussion,” Plitkins said. The event will feature presentations from three guest speakers followed by a question and answer period. Kathy Chiles is a former project manager who will share her “journey from insanity and back”
as detailed in her book “Pangaea: Confessions of an Erstwhile Mermaid.” Chiles, coordinator for the National Alliance on Mental Illness chapter in Snohomish County, had an extensive psychotic break, and was subsequently diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, a cross between bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, according to her bio. It’s Plitkins’ hope that the forum will start a community discussion about the island’s mental health and potentially create a NAMI chapter locally. “The idea is that we could get NAMI support here,” Plitkins said. “We don’t have a chapter of our own.”

Employment Relations Commission. The hospital confirmed Tuesday that Owens was reinstated to her registered nurse position. They declined to comment further however, saying that “it is not appropriate for the hospital to comment further at this time, as this matter is involved in pending litigation.” The WSNA said Owens was reinstated “as a result of WSNA’s advocacy.” “The Washington State Nurses Association is proud to stand behind this nurse and her 12 years of service at the hospital,” according to a Monday news release. “The unfair labor practice filed by WSNA stems in part from the hospital’s inability to produce any documentation for their alleged reasons for this termination. “She has the support of her peers, including numerous letters written on her behalf by coworkers during this challenging time.

might emerge as a much better solution than buying the golf carts and calling it square,” McCarthy said in a phone interview Friday morning. Davolio said the once proposed bridge and elevator was clearly the public’s least favorite option, based on matrices filled out at the charrette. Adding electric golf carts was the top choice of residents but not included in the planner’s recommendation. Leasing them was not a readily available option and the cost involved in hiring and training drivers made them unsuitable as a short-term solution. “It’s not the end game answer,” McCarthy said. “It’s not been easy to staff one golf cart with volunteer drivers.” After a 45-minute presentation by Davolio on his findings from matrices filled out at the charrette, another 45 minutes of comments were offered from the crowd. One of the more common opinions, and an ongoing request from other people in past meetings and letters to the editor, was that the city had to identify a need first, then find the best solution. That very thought was first presented by board member Colin Campbell, who said he spent the past weekend speaking to boaters at South Whidbey Harbor, commonly called the Langley marina. “Eighty percent of them walked up the hill,” he said. “By doing something on a temporary basis, it gives us time to document the need,” Davolio said in response. Resident Jonathon Moses said people needed to agree on a function or goal of the funicular before pursuing a form. He also recommended the city purchase properties at the south end

Bus service Other ideas with support, such as having Island Transit take a smaller shuttle-style bus to the marina, were reviewed and proposed by the planning director. The route, said Davolio, would go between the Clinton Ferry Terminal and Langley. That would be the city’s short-term solution to improve access this year, but it is entirely dependent upon Island Transit finding the expanded service feasible following a financial crisis in 2014. Taking a year would let the city further study how

effective bus service was at connecting the South Whidbey Harbor with Langley’s commercial core. That time would also be spent researching the possibility of acquiring property along Sunrise Lane, the private road off Wharf Street, that could serve as a marina and Seawall Park connector. From the park, Davolio said, a smaller funicular could carry people up to First Street and drop them off in the heart of the business district. “I’m cautiously optimistic we could put something in place through July and August,” he said.

McCarthy said he looked at 16-passenger and 23-passenger buses, smaller than the long ones that typically run along Highway 525, that were small enough to turn around near the marina. He envisioned a service that would make morning, noon and night runs each day between the ferry and city. Costs involved were not readily available, and McCarthy said Davolio is working to present the option to the Island Transit board later this month. But a possible combination of fares and a city subsidy could cover the operations and maintenance costs asso-
In order to build a walkway bridging the marina to Seawall Park, Langley would have to acquire private property, either tideland or the Sunrise Lane road along the bottom of the First Street bluff. Davolio’s choice is for the city to connect Wharf Street to Seawall Park, currently accessible by emergency vehicles via Anthes Avenue, to Sunrise Lane, a private road off Wharf Street.
Building anything over the water would be a lengthy, costly process, he said. A pair of Sunrise Lane property owners cited a deed between the handful of properties that states none may give any part of their property away for public use. The two women also said they had been through this discussion before with the city, and were upset at

Editorial
What happened to electric golf carts? Few things irk people more than being ignored by government, and having their properties threatened with eminent domain. It seems Langley did a little of both this week. In his report to the planning advisory board on Wednesday, city planning Chief Michael Davolio recommended a funicular and a waterfront walkway as the longterm solutions for improving access to the marina, despite the fact that neither one was ranked the public’s preferred option at April’s charrette. That honor went to electric golf carts, which garnered nearly twice as many first-place votes as a funicular (45-23) and more than three times as many votes as a walkway (45-13), according to Davolio’s count. Even by the city’s weighted tally (a point system that assigned or took points for first, second and last place preferences) a funicular and walkway ranked third and fourth of seven total options behind golf carts and a trolley. The latter aren’t off the board, per se, but at present it appears the top choices of Mayor Fred McCarthy and his administration outweigh those of Langley residents, and the city needs to do a better job explaining why that’s the case. In his written report, Davolio acknowledged golf carts were the clear favorite. They come with some headaches, such as difficulty in finding leasable vehicles and the ongoing finances to operate them, but none are insurmountable and they remain a viable long-term option, he wrote. The city’s proposal, however, is to build a controversial, albeit miniaturized version of a funicular that would link Boy and Dog and Seawall parks, and then establish a waterfront walkway that would snake along Sunrise Lane to the marina. The problem there is property owners aren’t interested in a walkway, and even if they were they claim they can’t give up one inch of land for public use due to deed restrictions. But apparently, if they refuse to sell the city could always consider taking what they need through eminent domain. So here’s the hurdles summed up: trying to find leasable golf carts and the finances to operate them over the longterm, or constructing what has amounted to an unpopular and divisive funicular on a bluff, and taking private property from people who won’t or can’t sell. Perhaps we’re being overly pessimistic, but we’re scratching our heads over how that makes sense when the problems of the former seem to be far less than those of the latter. The one great benefit of a walkway is that it would solve the access issue created by a bluff slide on Wharf Street. But, that does nothing to address the riddle of how to help boaters who park uptown get their stuff to the marina or boat launch, one of the cited project priorities. And a funicular at Boy and Dog Park, a long way from the marina, seems almost silly if one of the objectives is to assist the mobility SEE EDITORIAL, A7

Sewer commissioner does not support incorporation Editor, I would like to comment on the May 6 story in The Record, “Freeland continues to fight for growth in Comp Plan” both as a Freeland Water and Sewer District commissioner and as a Freeland resident. The article was very confused and contained erroneous information. The meeting I attended at the county was for adoption of the Countywide Planning Policies and as regards Freeland, the word “city” was never mentioned at the meeting. The sewer district has no legislative authority regarding incorporation and therefore can take no position on Freeland incorporation. It is not “up to the water and sewer district” if Freeland should become a city. It is up to the residents of Freeland. The sewer district supports the county planning department’s writing of Countywide Planning Policies and the Buildable Lands Analysis. Whether or not the county decides to resize the
Freeland Non-Municipal Urban Growth Area, the sewer district is planning for infrastructure for Freeland on new, perhaps affordable, phasing. As a Freeland resident, I do not support Freeland incorporation. Any statements to the contrary are false. Thank you, LOU MALZONE Freeland
Langley
Langley is dying, and fear of change is killing it Editor, The recent funicular fuss and mayoral race has highlighted what’s been obvious for awhile: Langley is dying and instead of trying to save it, people are tightening the noose around her neck. When there are empty buildings on main street for years —approaching a decade — a town is dying. When there is lack of innovation, fear and opposition of change and of something different, and the status quo of neglect and attrition are not only maintained, but fought for — the town is dying. It is one thing to manage growth

and change, but to fight against it in an attempt to maintain the present state of affairs is choosing a slow and painful death. Yes, there are businesses that succeed in Langley; they are a valued asset to the town and community! A funicular will not change that. Growth will not change that. No one is proposing putting a Walmart in downtown Langley. They are coming up with ideas to attract more people — more tourists — so that businesses might not stand empty for years on end, and there might be more success and more value in the community. It’s fine if you don’t like whatever proposals are out there. However, in your opposition, if you don’t also offer something to help Langley get out of its death spiral, you are participating in stifling, smothering and killing The Village by the Sea.

This is a complicated project and each solution presents unique problems and varied public support. We recognize that, but the city’s long-term recommendations seem overly difficult and expensive, especially when the public made its preference for a less permanent option electrically clear.

Fundraising lunch was a success Editor, A very successful fundraising lunch was held at Useless Bay Country Club late last month by members of the Trudy Sundberg Lecture planning team. We thank all those who attended, and especially our speaker, Bob Whitsitt, who donated his time and shared his unique (and very entertaining) sports perspective. We also recognize the generosity of our donors and sponsors: Puget Sound Energy, Windermere Real Estate/South Whidbey, and the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation. The event marked an important step in achieving our goal of bringing an eminent speaker to Whidbey Island for the annual Trudy Sundberg Memorial Lecture. The first Trudy Sundberg Memorial Lecturer will arrive on Whidbey Island in May, 2016. Hedrick Smith, a former New York Times Washington bureau chief, has written five books and

produced more than 50 hours of documentaries for PBS and Frontline. His most recent book, “Who Stole the American Dream?” made The New York Times national bestseller list. He is a Pulitzer prizewinning reporter and editor, an Emmy Award-winning producer, and is considered one of America’s most distinguished journalists. Plans for Hedrick Smith’s visit include a formal lecture, open and free to the public, interactions with Whidbey high school and college students, and a private gathering to meet with him on a more informal basis. This will be the first of many annual lectures to honor Trudy and draw large audiences to discover information and exchange ideas in a setting not readily available to the Whidbey community. If readers are interested in learning more about the lecture series, and especially if they would like to help plan and host the Hedrick Smith Lecture event on Whidbey next year, please contact me at 360-675-5888 or mfgold@comcast.net.

Gloria Chou
Gloria (Fung Chee) Chou died Saturday, May 3, 2015, at age 82. Gloria had returned to Whidbey Island after learning she had terminal lung cancer. She entered hospice care at Saratoga View Adult Family Home in Langley. Those who knew Gloria will remember the light she shone on all those around her and on all things that were important to her. Gloria led an adventurous, daring
and, to use her term, “fully conscious” life. She was thrilled that her long desire to refine and publish her memoir came to fruition as she spent her last months completing the writing of her book, “Phoenix Rising.” That book is now available from Amazon.com. Gloria’s friends will gather at a no-host celebration to commemorate her life 3-5 p.m. Sunday, May 24, at One Spirit Garden, 7191 Holst Road, Clinton. Everyone is welcome, and carpooling is advised. If you choose, you may bring a beverage or snack for the common table.

Doubles duos face off for playoffs By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Only one set was lost by South Whidbey girls tennis doubles teams in the first round of the 1A District 1 tournament Thursday. Both tandems of Isla Dubendorf and Bayley Gochanour and Clara Martin and Iona Rohan edged their King’s counterparts in straight sets, setting up the intrasquad showdown. Dubendorf and Gochanour rode the momentum built in their 6-0, 6-0 sweep of King’s. Facing their teammates, the top doubles squad won 6-1, 6-3, and are South Whidbey’s only representatives moving to the bi-district tournament that begins May 21 in Seattle. In an email, Falcon head coach Karyle Kramer said she reflected on Dubendorf playing in her final home match as a senior. A couple dozen students were released from class to watch the meet, which began at 11 a.m. “Our doubles teams played well against each other; playing in front of a large crowd of students was an exciting way to finish,” Kramer said in the email. On the singles side of the tournament, Falcon senior Carlie Newman fell to King’s Susan Su in straight sets 6-2, 6-4. Kramer said once Newman fell behind a few games in the first set, it was a mental hole from which she could not escape. “Mentally it’s hard to dig out of that situation,” Kramer said. “That’s pressure in itself.” It was a reversal of fortunes for them, as Newman had previously defeated Su in three sets in the Falcon’s first

Bayley Gochanour forehands a shot back across the net against King’s in the a doubles match during the 1A District 1 girls tennis tournament semifinals May 14 at South Whidbey High School. match this year. Newman was ineligible for much of the season after transferring from Cascade High School in Everett at the start of the school year. She appealed the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association ruling and won eligibility in time for a handful of matches before Thursday’s tournament. She started with a firstround bye and quickly defeated Audri Halkett 6-1, 6-0. South Whidbey’s second-seeded singles player, Kendra Warwick, lost in the first round to Nooksack Valley’s Abby Steele 6-3, 6-1. “Kendra improved a lot over the season and I’m already excited for her next season,” Kramer said.
Track athletes excel at league championship South Whidbey track and field is hitting its stride and its marks after several top-flight performances at the Cascade Conference Championship meet May 7 in Shoreline. The Falcon girls finished in third place, and the boys placed sixth. Several Falcon athletes are among the top performers in the state 1A classification. Elizabeth Donnelly, a freshman, won the 800meter race in 2:24.63 as the league’s champion and is second among 1A
A few quick scores on Thursday night secured South Whidbey’s postseason survival in a 3-1 win over Seattle Academy. A tackle from behind, however, has the Falcons reeling after senior Andy Zisette had to leave the game with an unspecified injury. “He could barely walk off the field,” said Falcon co-head coach Emerson “Skip” Robbins. “We’re not expecting him back Saturday.” “It wouldn’t have happened if the ref had done his job,” he added. South Whidbey scored all three of its goals in the first half of an elimination playoff game against Seattle Academy in the 1A bi-district tournament. But the game included, said Robbins, several dangerous tackles from behind by Seattle Academy players, though no official warnings were issued by the game’s officials. “Not one card was given, not one,” Robbins said. “It’s just ridiculous. It’s ridiculously dangerous for these kids.” Zisette scored a pair of goals before being brought down from behind and needing to leave the game. Jeff Meier, a senior, scored the other goal for South Whidbey. Seattle Academy’s goal came off a free kick near the 18-yard mark. After South Whidbey cleared the ball, a Seattle Academy player collected it and booted it past Falcon goalie Charley Stelling. South Whidbey’s offense continued its torrent of shots with 18 shots on goal, and the Falcons will need to find a replacement for Zisette’s scoring prowess along the right sideline if he is unable to play Saturday against University Prep. The 1 p.m. May 16 match at Sultan High School is for a berth to the 1A state tournament or an end to the season. “They’re certainly a good team, but they’re not Archbishop Murphy,” Robbins said, adding that the team watched University Prep play after their match concluded May 14. “The key for us is putting it in the back of the net, that’s the bottom line.”

racers. Allie Vanbenschoten won the 300-meter hurdles in 47.86 seconds and has the fifth-fastest 1A time. Kristen Schuster, a senior, won the league’s discus title at 108 feet, 11 inches and is the top 1A District 1 hurler. Freshman Sophia Nielsen won the long jump title in only her second time competing in the event this season. Her mark of 16 feet, 4 inches was nearly six inches better than the second-place mark by Maddie Nielsen of King’s. South Whidbey’s 400-meter relay team of Anna Leski, Bailey Forsyth, Mikayla Hezel and Samantha Baldwin finished in 51.45 seconds
for second place and holds the sixth-fastest 1A time. The same four girls placed third in the 800-meter relay in 1:49.87 and have the sixthfastest 1A time. A few Falcon finishes were good for second place. Tanner Lobdell ran the 400 meter in 50.76 seconds for second place, and he holds the second-fastest 1A time in the event. Cole Zink, a senior, finished second in the 800 in 2:03.57. The Falcon boys 1,600-meter relay team of Cameron Lobdell, Evan Mellish, Zink and Tanner Lobdell finished in 3:32.82 for second place, currently the fifth-best 1A time.
Playing a bit like an Oprah giveaway — you get a run, and you get a run, and you get a run, everybody gets a run — South Whidbey fastpitch saw every player score in the first inning of a 14-4 rout against Cedar Park Christian on Wednesday. Every single Falcon crossed home plate in the first inning, powered by senior Abby Hodson’s two RBI home run, as South Whidbey jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the 1A Cascade Conference game in Langley. Falcon junior Leah Merrow and sophomore Aria Ludtke each went 2-for-3 at the plate with an RBI. Merrow ripped a double, as did sophomore Kacie Hanson. Falcon freshman Mackenzee Collins threw from the circle the whole six-inning game, shortened by one inning because of the 10-run mercy rule. Collins gave up four runs on seven hits and a pair of walks, though only one run was earned by Cedar Park Christian. An issue all season, errors again hit South Whidbey to the tune of eight leading to three unearned runs. Collins countered the fielding mistakes by fanning 10 Eagle batters to keep Cedar Park (0-17 Cascade Conference, 1-18 overall) winless in league games. South Whidbey’s final regular season game was against Coupeville at home after The Record went to press. The Falcons qualified for the 1A District 1 tournament May 21 at Janicki Fields in Sedro-Woolley.

South End’s new FFA chapter competes at first statewide convention By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

Kate Daniel / The Record
Blake Adams and Krista Drechsel sample milk during a recent FFA meeting. The students were preparing for one of several dairy-related competitive events. hours throughout the past few weeks, Felgar said his background as a dairy farmer has given them a leg up in that particular arena. After school on Tuesday, the students gathered in Felgar’s classroom to practice tasting dairy products. Felgar had arranged an assortment of milks and cheeses, each containing a specific flavor. The students were tasked with correctly naming the type of milk or cheese, or naming the added ingredient, such as mouth wash. It’s one of the several dairy-related events they’ll be participating in while at WSU. Junior Krista Drechsel said she’s thankful for Felgar’s expertise, and is
looking forward to stopping in at some of Felgar’s family members’ farms on the way to Pullman. Though she initially joined the club due to her interest in agriculture, Drechsel said she’s also learned as much about leadership, parliamentary procedure and teamwork as she has about

South Whidbey High School’s first FFA chapter is competing at its first statewide convention this week. Shop and agriculture teacher Chad Felgar is advisor of the school’s FFA chapter (the national organization was formerly known as Future Farmers of America but the name was shortened in 1988). Felgar began doing the “legwork” to establish the club in the spring of 2014; his efforts finally came to fruition in the fall, and the club has attracted several students throughout the year. Early Wednesday morning, the group hit the road for Pullman, Wash., where they are attending the 85th Washington FFA Convention at the Washington State University campus in Pullman. The convention began Thursday, May 14 and will continue through Saturday. At the convention, students will attend several workshops in topics such as leadership and agricultural science. They’ll also have the opportunity to compete in a series of events including mock job interviews, extemporaneous speaking, food science, agricultural sales, marketing, meats evaluation and veterinary science. According to Felgar, there’s one subject he’s more than confident the students will place in: dairy. Though the students are well-versed in a variety of subjects and have been putting in several extra study
milk production and botany. She explained that even simple tasks, such as preparing for the trip, have brought the students closer together. “The after-school activities bring us together and help us learn more as a group than we would individually,” she said. Initially, Felgar said, he expected to see mostly “redneck” boys join the club. He said he was pleasantly surprised to see students of various backgrounds giving it a try. According to ffa.org, in 1925 Walter S. Newman, Edmund C. MaGill, Harry W. Sanders and Henry C. Groseclose, proposed an FFA-like program as a solution to the problem of American youth’s declining interest in farming. Newman suggested forming an organization that would grant “farm boys” the opportunity for selfexpression and leadership development, lending them confidence and pride in their trade. The Future Farmers of Virginia was formed in 1926, setting the precedence for the development of the Future Farmers of America

two years later in 1928. There are currently 610,240 official FFA members and 7,665 local FFA chapters in each of the 50 states and two U.S. territories, according to the organization’s website. Because the South Whidbey chapter is still relatively small, they’ve received assistance from larger chapters such as Mt. Baker FFA, which helped them with preparing for competitions. South Whidbey School District granted $500 so that the FFA chapter could purchase official jackets. But all other necessary uniform materials were furnished from local thrift stores, family members’ closets, Mt. Baker FFA hand-me-downs and, in the case of one pair of black cowboy boots, Felgar’s closet.
The students have practiced marketing and leadership skills by seeking grants to fund their attendance. Drechsel requested and obtained grants from Deer Lagoon Grange and the American Legion. Though Felgar also works to secure grants, he encourages students to do so in order to help them build a presence in the community. “It gives me a lot of skills in facilitating my own leadership,” Drechsel said. Felgar, who will teach for the Coupeville School District this fall, said he is considering establishing a Coupeville and South Whidbey combination chapter in orderwtoa continue advis-m on Why i t to s ave ing n South End students. i g h t for a f re e qu o te o

going through it again. “We have made it abundantly clear we don’t want a public walkway on our property,” Connie Marcucci said, adding that they don’t like the traffic and accompanying litter. When asked how the city would gain easements or acquire the property without willing sellers, Davolio said the city could invoke eminent domain and take it. When later asked about eminent domain, McCarthy said it was “worth having a courageous conversation” and that this was the appropriate venue to float the concept. He conceded, however, that it may prove to be another contentious issue in what’s already been a divisive project. “I’ll grant you it’s a controversial topic,” he said.
FILING WEEK CONTINUED FROM A1
The mayor added that the words eminent domain mean “the city would take the right to have a walkway through there, not taking property, for a public purpose. That can be done whether the property owners agree with it or not if the overriding needs of the many outweigh the proprietary needs of the few.”
The funicular
chose the funicular as the lastplace option by crossing it out, blacking out the selection, writing “No,” next to it and other means other than numbering it with an “8” or “0”. Marianne Edain, a co-founder of Whidbey Environmental Action Network and a member of the city’s Parks and Open Space Commission, cited Langley’s shoreline master program that states new development, uses and activities must be designed and operated to avoid “blocking, reducing or adversely interfering with the public’s physical or visual access to the water and shorelines.” Another consistent suggestion from planning board members was the need to hear from the Port of South Whidbey. The public agency owns and operates the marina of South Whidbey Harbor and has more buildout phases in its plans, but more dock space
Having been both consistently criticized and championed by residents, the funicular was part of Davolio’s recommendation for the long-term fix. A pod on a track that would move along the bluff, it was ranked third in Davolio’s report, which used a weighted tally system. In popular choice, it took 23 first-place votes, 10 second-place votes and 10 last-place votes. But one resident questioned Davolio’s method in counting the matrices. She said more than 80

would likely require having somewhere to park or better access to existing parking. Currently, parking down on Wharf Street around the boat launch is tight, with only a handful of spaces available. Up above the harbor along Cascade Avenue and in town, however, parking lots have been marked as places for boaters to leave their cars. Making that trek easier for pedestrians is one of the goals of the proposed projects. Davolio said he would request that port officials meet with the planning board.

As of Friday morning, the mayor’s race was the only position with more than one person filing. Councilman Thomas Gill, Sharon Emerson and Tim Callison each filed to be the city’s next top administrator in 2016. There is no incumbent in the mayor’s race.

“I want to make sure all will get to make comments before we take any action,” Walsh said. The planning board originally had several items on the agenda to discuss, but was only able to address the marina access recommendation. Even that was pushed back to another meeting for members to consider public input before supporting a recommendation for the city council. In all, 13 different people gave public comment to the planning board, and many of them spoke more than once. A couple of men asked for the city to put it on a ballot or referendum.

Whidbey General’s new CEO hits ground running
Janis Reid / The Record
Geri Forbes, chief executive officer of Whidbey General Hospital, visits with residents at a community event last weekend at Fort Nugent Park in Oak Harbor. Since taking over the position, she has spent lots of time visiting with residents as the face of the hospital district.
By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Whidbey General Hospital’s new CEO Geri Forbes demonstrated a new brand of leadership this past weekend when she attended a community event at Fort Nugent Park. The event introduced portable defibrillators to a youth football team and their coaches to be used in an emergency. “This will save lives,” Forbes said at the event. For Forbes, being accessible to the community is a main pillar of her leadership style. “Part of my role is to be the face of the hospital,” Forbes said in a Monday interview. “I take that very seriously. Will I make it to every event? No, but I’ll try to make as many as I can.” Forbes, who started in her new role three weeks ago, takes the helm of a hospital that has been troubled financially and has taken hits to its reputation. The hospital has operated in the red for the last few years and the 2015 budget adopted in November estimated a $5 million shortfall. Forbes said the financials are looking better this year than last year and that it is a
main goal to bring the public hospital back up to a “neutral” or break-even status. “We’ll have peaks and valleys but as long as the trend is moving up, I’m satisfied,” Forbes said. Hospital critics have also complained over the years about the inaccessibility of former CEO Tom Tomasino and his administration. The hospital district was further
rocked in 2014 when its chief nursing officer was accused, and then acquitted, of assault on a mentally ill patient. In her first three weeks, Forbes has been spending a lot of time “rounding” or spending time getting to know the nurses and doctors on staff, according to Anne Tarrant, president of the hospital’s board of commissioners. Forbes describes herself as a “collaborative” type of leader who aims to listen to staff on the front lines in order to build strong teams that can initiate improvements. Forbes’ hope is that between outreach to staff and the community, she’ll be able to find ways to best improve services. “We’re a small hospital,” Forbes said. “We need to be there for the community, not just when they’re sick but also to keep them well.” Forbes said she has already begun efforts to reach out to other community organizations like Island County Public Health, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and Naval Hospital Oak Harbor. Her aim is to initiate programs that encourage health but also help the publicly-funded agencies do more with less. “The base is going to be growing,” Forbes said of the new squadrons arriving over the next couple of years. “We’ve all got to have a program for that.” Given the county’s large retirement population, Forbes would like to see more services geared toward the elderly. In her experience, said Forbes, very few

In keeping with the “age in place” trend, Forbes said she believes there are more things the hospital can do to help make that happen. Tarrant said the board agreed at their Monday meeting that Forbes’ “fresh per-
spective” will be a boon for the hospital. “It’s nice to have someone who doesn’t have a history,” Tarrant said. “She can look at the organization as a whole [and] offer a whole new set of solutions. And she’s doing that.” Tarrant said the new CEO is also playing close attention to the upcoming construction
of the new wing. “She’s been through this before” at previous hospitals, said Tarrant, adding that she’s been impressed with Forbes’ “total grasp of our project even though she’s only been here three weeks.” “Overall, we we’re just pleased to have her on board as our CEO,” Tarrant said.

Sniffing out the competition Dogs make the most of olfactory talents in K9 Nosework
By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record Sniffing out a clue is elementary for Watson, a four-year-old wire-haired dachshund. Watson and his human handler, Madeleine Pohl, are students in Georgia Edwards’ intermediate K9 Nosework class offered through the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District. During the hour-and-a-half class period, dogs are encouraged to sniff out three “hides” which are stashed in locations throughout the room. Rather than actual animal skins, the “hides” are cotton swabs doused in essential oils anise, clove and birch. Handlers pay close attention to their dog’s body language and breathing patterns in order to detect when the animal is hot on the trail. Edwards said that one of the most difficult aspects of the sport for handlers is not pushing their dogs toward the hide location. Listening and patience are essential. Due to the emphasis upon teamwork, dogs and their human companions typically become more attuned to one another through participation in the classes, Edwards said. It is also an opportunity for dogs to remain active and to explore the full potential of their powerfully sensitive snouts. K9 Nosework is the latest in competitive dog sports, according to Edwards. It has quickly garnered a great deal of participation due to its inclusiveness. Dogs with physical disabilities such as blindness, deafness or mobility impairments can participate, as can dogs who are shy or highly “reactive.” Many K9 participants are former show dogs, or dogs whose desire to work is ostensibly genetic — breeds like hounds and dachshunds who have been bred to hunt. “Virtually any dog can do nosework,” Edwards said. Cody, a 16-year-old yellow lab mix, was formerly an American Kennel Club champion in agility. She’s lost most of her sight and hearing and her hips are causing her some trouble. But with the gentle guidance of her han-

Susan Thorsen follows her dog, Cody, a 16-year-old labrador mix. The pair are students in Georgia Edwards’ intermediate K9 Nosework class. dler, Susan Thorsen, she’s still able to detect each of the scents with relative ease. Freeland residents Barbara and John Schuster accompanied three of their dogs to class Wednesday afternoon. John Schuster is a judge in the American Kennel Club Earthdog competition, and the couple has shown several of their dogs in a variety of other AKC competitions
throughout the years. The Schusters’ nowdeceased dog was a former AKC champion in a number of events, Barbara Schuster said. But when he lost his vision, he was no longer eligible to participate. K9 Nosework was a “godsend,” John Schuster said, because it allowed the visually impaired dog to continue doing what he loved. An experienced nosework-
ing dog can also be highly beneficial to humans struggling with physical ailments, Edwards noted. A retired oncologist, Edwards said she regularly brought her Bouvier des Flandres dogs in to her workplace for use as therapy dogs for cancer patients. Beginning in 1995, Edwards also began exploring the potential for breast cancer detection dogs. The
idea was first outlined by physicians Howell Williams and Andres Pembroke in 1989, and is being used today by foundations such as the InSitu Foundation. One of her especially sensitive dogs was able to smell the breakdown of tumor cells in cancer patients, and would remain by the side of a specific patient whenever her cancer was progressing. Each time the patient went into remission, Edwards said, the dog would pay her no mind. But when the cancer returned, so did he. The dog remained with the patient when she died, Edwards said, staying by her side for a few moments afterward before heading to the door as though he was ready to accept his next assignment. Clinton resident Merrill Douglas said that her wirehaired dachshund, Daffodil, is able to detect when Douglas’ blood pressure is high. The pair has been participating in Edwards’ classes for two years, beginning when Daffodil was nine months old. They took a three-year hiatus to chase after a few championships in other competitions, but have recently returned. “It has made us a really good working team,” Douglas said. When Douglas’ blood pressure is high, Daffodil hops up and gets in her face, she said, making it clear that something is not right.
Douglas said she’s not sure if it’s scent-related, but she is sure that the closeness they’ve developed through the class is what has lent Daffodil her intuitiveness. Likewise, she’s able to take Daffodil on a loose lead “anywhere,” she said, due to the dog’s obedience and attentive nature. “Langley is a really dog friendly city, so it’s really fun to be able to take my dog into any business and have them say, ‘Oh, let me hide the cookie and she’ll find it,’” said Douglas. Douglas said she’s also been able to trust Daffodil to find other things, such as an old dog who wandered off. K9 Nosework has been instrumental in exploring her dog’s full potential, she said. “I’ve seen some really shy rescue dogs come out of their shell and be really happy,” Edwards said. “I’ve seen blind dogs… come out of the fear of being in the dark by using their nose.” All breeds and backgrounds are welcome, Edwards said. Group classes cost $150 per dog for the session, which lasts five weeks. Classes are offered on Sundays and Wednesdays and are held at the South Whidbey Parks and Recreation Department Rec Center, room 125.

Owner of vessel that sank in Penn Cove sued for $2.79 million By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record Rory Westmoreland is out of jail after serving 75 days earlier this year, but his troubles are far from over. The former owner of the Deep Sea crab boat — which burned, sank and spilled fuel in Penn Cove — is facing another lawsuit. This time, a team of lawyers for the federal government filed a complaint against the Renton scrap-metal dealer in U.S. District Court, demanding reimbursement for clean-up costs in excess of $2.79 million. The lawsuit was filed May 11, one day shy of the three-year anniversary of the calamity that spilled 5,555 gallons of diesel fuel and forced the closure of Penn Cove Shellfish for a month. The lawsuit is in behalf of the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, which reim-

Natural Resources first contacted Westmoreland in January 2012 and informed him that he either needed to remove the vessel or obtain authorization to keep it moored in Penn Cove. The DNR kept in regular contact with Westmoreland and even located multiple marinas where he could take the boat, but he “never took any genuine steps towards having the vessel removed from Penn Cove,” Anderson wrote. In March of 2012, the DNR sent Westmoreland a notice of trespass that stated he would be fined for every day he failed to remove the vessel. On the night of May 12, 2012, the Deep Sea caught fire in what was later determined to be arson. It sank to the bottom and spilled 5,555 gallons of diesel. The DNR contacted Westmoreland, who said he did not plan on taking responsibil-

ity for raising the vessel, but suggested that it be left on the bottom of Penn Cove. He said he did not know how the fire started but said he thought it might have been “kids playing with matches,” the memorandum states. Anderson noted that Westmoreland was never charged with arson in connection with the burning of the Deep Sea. Attorney Cooper Offenbecher of Seattle sent a statement to the Whidbey News Group after he was sentenced. “Mr. Westmoreland was wellintentioned and got caught up in circumstances beyond his control,” he wrote. “He never intended for any harm to come to the Deep Sea or Penn Cove.” After the Deep Sea disaster, state lawmakers toughened the laws regarding derelict vessels and the state’s response.

just decades ago. To educate students about the dangers and risks posed by inappropriate use of technology, Detective Ed Wallace with the Island County Sheriff’s Office has teamed up with Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Assault, or CADA, over the past six years to take the message to the classroom. On Monday, Wallace — the department’s forensic computer examiner — gave an eye-opening talk to a group of freshman and sophomores at South Whidbey High School. “Everything you do on the Internet — and I mean everything — leaves behind a trail of bread crumbs,” he said. Wallace’s computer-assisted discussion touched on a wide range of subjects, including cyberstalking, cyberbullying, social media, online sexual predator, sexting and child pornography.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: VIRGO, LIBRA AND SCORPIO.
Week of May 17 to 23, 2015 ARIES
You’re not shy about speaking your mind when addressing a crowd of people of various nationalities. The situation calls for you to express yourself in another language.
TAURUS
You find the necessary financing to complete an important project. Your investment is very profitable in the long term, whether it involves a property or a business.
GEMINI
You’d better renew your passport before summer arrives. You’re increasingly tempted by new adventures that mostly take place abroad.
CANCER
You feel increasingly tired. Take the signals your body is sending you seriously, as they are warnings for you to slow down. Sleep is precious; don’t neglect to go to bed early every evening.
LEO
You’re in good company as you go on a great adventure or special trip. If you’re single, love at first sight is just around the corner.
VIRGO
You find yourself shouldering some new responsibilities. You may find them onerous at times, but they’ll open up some great opportunities for you in the future.
LIBRA
You start organizing your summer vacation with family and friends. Great adventures are in the cards, and you have no intention of missing out on any of these opportunities.
SCORPIO
You’re a very sensitive person in general, and you’re also quite unpredictable. You could leave without warning, whether the situation concerns your love relationship or your job.
SAGITTARIUS
It’s not always easy to bring together people or groups with opposing interests. You find all the necessary arguments to move mountains.
CAPRICORN
It’s time to make some small changes in your circle of friends. Some people in your entourage are sapping your strength and goodwill. Try to plan at least one day of relaxation or therapeutic treatments.
AQUARIUS
Self-esteem is the basis of all achievements. Just telling yourself that you can succeed is enough for you to accomplish a brilliant achievement. Go ahead and allow yourself some pride.
PISCES
You need to devote considerable time and energy to family and home. You adopt a new outlook that helps you better enjoy the present moment.
