BEACH WATCHERS TO STAND ALONE Group casts off university shackles to become independent organization
By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record The Island County Beach Watchers are breaking free from Washington State University Extension, citing frustration with restrictive policies and conflicts in vision. “The university is very clear. The first priority is the univer-
sity, the second is the project and the third is the members,” said Derek Pritchard, president of the Island County Beach Watchers board of directors. “We see it differently.” The group will remain under WSU Extension stewardship until Dec. 31. After that, the group will become an independent organization, but retain close ties with Lighthouse Environmental Programs, the nonprofit through which it does
all its fundraising. “The idea is that the membership has reached a maturity that it can run its own business,” Pritchard said. “We want to address the needs of the community and the desires of the membership.” SEE BEACH WATCHERS, A12
Langley considers option for firehouse sale By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
Ben Watanabe / The Record
Patrick Forrestal and Brian Iverson work on blown-glass rockfish at Callahan’s Firehouse in Langley on Thursday.
Langley is trying to find a way to part with its old fire station. The city had put it up as a surplus property through a request for proposals. Only one proposal was submitted, and it came from current tenant Callahan McVay, who runs Callahan’s Firehouse Studio in the Second Street building.
Since 2009, the glass-blowing artist transformed the old cinderblock truck bays into a working studio for his blown glass business as well as a showcase for glasses, sea floats, bowls and art. He made a $350,000 offer after being in the building six years this July because, he said, he has shown it is a successful business in an ideal location. “I’ve been able to demonstrate with hard work and regular hours what I’m able to do,” McVay said.
“I grew up in a fishing family,” he added later. “This is my gill net.” The offer is reasonable, he says, because the building is old and would not include exclusive rights to use the parking lot behind the building near Third Street. Langley City Hall initially disagreed. Mayor Fred McCarthy said the planSEE FIREHOUSE, A5
Last minute response saves Freeland post office from having water shut off By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night can stop the mail, but a pesky and persistent water leak came close this week.
A Freeland Water and Sewer District official confirmed Friday that the U.S. Postal Service nearly had their water shutoff due to inaction regarding an ongoing leak. The federal agency was given 30 days to address the problem,
and responded the day before the deadline, narrowly averting a possible closure of the building. Andy Campbell, the water district’s manager, said he was contacted Friday morning by
postal officials and told a contractor had been hired. Some work — utilities location — began that day, but the real repair wouldn’t begin SEE POST OFFICE, A20

He amazes us every day.” The Extra-Mile Award was accompanied by $500. The Mentorship Award, according to the news release, is for school staff and faculty who exemplify the commitment to students that creates exceptional results.

9-1-1 dispatch chief proposes fix for Island Transit radio botch By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record The director of the I-COM emergency dispatch center has a proposal that may finally fix a communication problem that has dogged Island Transit buses for years. During a presentation to the Island Transit board, Tom Shaughnessy and another I-COM employee revealed how the former administration of the transit agency, despite warnings, spent a $58,666 federal grant on a system that doesn’t work. “It was up for just minutes before it was unplugged,” Shaughnessy said during an interview after his presentation. “Truly, it was that fast.” As a result, bus drivers communicate with the Island Transit’s dispatch center through a repeater radio system in operation since the agency’s beginning, though the agency has a grant to make the system work better. The problem is that the system is neither reliable nor efficient, which

WSDOT to study fares for Whidbey buses By JESSIE STENSLAND South Whidbey Record It’s unlikely that Island Transit will be able to abandon its fare-free model anytime soon, according to board members. But the state Department of Transportation may help the agency study the issue. Ken Graska, interim director of Island Transit, said he learned that WSDOT was doing an analysis of fare-free transit systems. In addition to Island Transit, the transit system in Mason County is
fare-free within the county and Okanogan County just started a fare-free service. He asked a WSDOT official if Island Transit’s fare feasibility study could be incorporated into the analysis and found the agency to be very receptive to the idea. “I felt it would be more objective if someone outside of Island Transit did the study,” he said. “I thought it might be better if it had someone else’s name on it.” In addition, it would save Island Transit the cost of doing its own study.

liaison with WSDOT, presented the proposal to the Island Transit board during a workshop Monday. An outside consultant would conduct the study and it would be free to Island Transit, he said. The Island Transit board put off a decision until the next board meeting. Oak Harbor Councilman Rick Almberg, the chairman of the board, said he had concerns after Warner pointed out the possibility that the study could find fares aren’t financially feasible. He said that finding could put Island Transit at odds with state lawmakers who want fares. “If one government agency says one thing and another
tem didn’t have a way to differentiate the different audio signals coming in; as a result, the lines of static were mixed with clearer audio signals. Shaughnessy said he warned I-COM at the time that the system wouldn’t work. Likewise, Hill said Day Wireless, the company contracted to build the infrastructure, was so concerned that company officials wrote a letter to Island Transit forewarning about the problems. Rose apparently trusted the engineer and brushed aside the warnings, Shaughnessy said. The resulting upgrade made the system even worse and was immediately abandoned, he said. Police and fire departments in the county — and soon the county public works department — upgraded to a simulcasting system managed by I-COM, which Hill said works very well. “Simulcast is a spectrally efficient technology used to cover wide geography with a limited number of channels,” she said.
says something different, we’re going to be caught in the middle,” he said. Lawmakers passed a bill that provides $1 million in the 2015-17 biennial budget for the Everett connector, a route that runs between Camano Island and Everett. The route was cancelled last year after state funding ran out. The bill, however, requires that Island Transit charge fares. Graska said the language is being interpreted at the state to require Island Transit to charge fares in all buses throughout the system. For that to happen, the study would have to be completed and Island Transit would conduct public outreach to get input. If the
Hill said it would be the perfect technology for Island Transit. Shaughnessy proposed that Island Transit contract with I-COM to join in on the state-of-the-art system. Island Transit Interim Director Ken Graska, however, said the discussion about joining with I-COM is something that will likely happen “down the road.” The agency is planning on adding three repeaters to its system this fall in order to improve the signal and cut out dead spots, Graska said. But it won’t solve all the problems with the current system. The project will cost $300,000. A federal grant will fund 60 percent of the cost, he said. Island County Commissioner Rick Hannold was dubious about the need for a new radio system. He suggested that it would work fine if the operators only used it when it was absolutely necessary. Other board members suggested that Shaughnessy and Graska continue discussions about the issue.
board ultimately decides to start charging fares, the agency would have to be able to purchase the equipment, which could possibly come to phases, according to board members. Island County
Commissioner Jill Johnson, a member of the board, said she would be surprised if bus fares would happen before the end of the year. That means, she said, the Everett connector isn’t likely to restart this year.

LANGLEY Old tires finally removed
FERRIES Sun deck to open for summer sailings
A bunch of decaying tires in a wooded area in Langley were finally removed this week after boisterous complaints from a resident and a threat of legal action. Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy said the city’s public works department planned to retrieve and dispose of the tires before the June 15 city council meeting. “Our intent is to get all of them out of there,” McCarthy said. Public Works Director Stan Berryman called The Record to update the public that, by Friday morning, an estimated 80 tires were taken away. “The tires are gone,” he said. “Some of those looked
Getting to Whidbey Island will be a bit easier and a whole lot breezier starting with the summer sailing season for Washington State Ferries which begins June 14. Clinton Ferry Advisory Committee representative Dave Hoogerwerf announced that the Tokitae’s sun deck will open for the first time to ferry travelers this weekend. Ferries spokesman Ian Sterling confirmed the news. “It’s beautiful up there,” Hoogerwerf said. “Mountains on both sides, they’ve got chairs you can sit on.” The sun deck has been closed to the public since the Tokitae first joined the fleet in June 2014. A new feature to the route, the added space required additional crew which was not funded in the ferries’ budget. Recently passed funding from the state Legislature, however, included enough money for ferries to add two crew members for limited hours and days for the sun deck to open. The sun deck is above the main passenger area with the two-prong balcony but below the pilothouse. Both the Tokitae and its sister ship, the Samish on the Anacortes-San Juans route, will have their sun decks, with 284 seats available, open through the summer sailing season, June 14 to Sept. 19. It will only be open Thursday to

like they went back 50 years, at least,” he added. The city took the tires to Les Schwab in Clinton, which accepted them free of charge. A large area of blackberry bushes and vegetation had grown over the old tires, with plenty of moss grown on and in the tires as well. Once the overgrowth was cleared, the tires were collected and taken out of town. “There was a lot of vegetation, we had to take our roadside mower and clean it out,” Berryman said. John Norby, the man who had originally pleaded with the city to get them more than 18 months ago, passionately told the mayor to take

care of the matter at the city council’s June 1 meeting or else he would seek legal action. McCarthy was surprised by Norby’s confrontation, but said the city was alarmed that it was still an issue and was responsive to the problem. “We want to be very careful about the health and safety of our citizens,” McCarthy said, adding that the city does not believe the tires affected Langley’s aquifer. Berryman said a Washington Department of Health official told the city further soil tests were not necessary because regular water quality tests do not reveal any V.O.C.

CORRECTIONS In the story “South Whidbey Academy says goodbye to the class of 2015” on page 1 of the Saturday, June 6 issue of The Record, a statement made by Principal David Pfeiffer was incorrect. Vanessa Link did not take Advanced Placement courses. In the story “Francisco, Sarkises move ahead with $950,000 Langley land deal” on page 1 of the Wednesday, June 10 issue of The Record, a name was misspelled. Paul and Micky Sarkis bought the property and building. Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. “We want our passengers to be able to get out and enjoy what’s been spectacular-like weather so far,” Sterling said. The Clinton-to-Mukilteo summer schedule also brings more late-night sailings Thursday through Sundays and an earlymorning Saturday sailing. Departures begin at 4:40 a.m. from Clinton and 5:05 a.m. from Mukilteo during weekdays. Everyday late-night sailings end at 1:30 a.m. from Clinton and 2 a.m. from Mukilteo. Service is largely based on half-hour sailings through the summer season. According to a news release from the Washington State Department of Transportation, Ferries Division, increased traffic during summer is expected. The release advises ferry travelers to plan for the journey west outside of peak hours on Friday afternoons and evenings, and eastbound Sunday afternoons.
STATE Deception Pass bridge work starts The paving project from Frostad Road to Sharpes corner began Monday and will include five nights of full closures for Deception Pass and Canoe Pass bridges in
mid-July or August. The project is expected to create substantial traffic delays as contracted crews repave four sections along the highway for the state Department of Transportation. Workers began at Frostad Road June 8, and will work their way north before tackling the two bridges. Crews will grind off pavement and lay down two inches of new asphalt. Each section is expected to take one to two weeks to complete, according to Tom Pearce, spokesperson for state Transportation, but all work is weather dependent. Work crews will also place new pavement markings on the bridges, replace joint seals, repair bridge decks and complete erosion control work. Contract crews are expected to complete all of the work between 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. with single lane closures to reduce impact on traffic. During the entire project, work won’t be done on Friday or Saturday nights, Pearce said. Precise dates of the overnight closures at Deception Pass Bridge won’t be set until 10 days before the bridge paving begins, which will be the final leg of the project.

FIREHOUSE CONTINUED FROM A1
ning director is awaiting a pair of value estimates from real estate professionals before making a recommendation to the council. Only two dollar figures exist for the property now, McCarthy said. One is from McVay, and the other is the Island County Assessor’s valuation of more than $840,000 for both lots. Now the city is considering splitting the lots, with a possible boundary line adjustment, and selling off the building to McVay and keeping the lot closer to Third Street for public parking. “The interest is not really in selling, it boils down to whether the whole property would be sold or whether some of it would be sectioned off for sale and public parking,” McCarthy said. Others are not so sure of the lower value or the city’s process. Real estate agent Leanne Finlay, who was asked by the city to look into
comparable sales and offer a value for the property and building, wouldn’t say what she thought it was worth before giving her report to the city. She said in a phone interview with The Record that the city should have listed the property rather than posting a request for proposal (RFP) for less than two months. “I don’t think they could expect to get enough bids to know whether they got fair market value,” Finlay said Thursday. “It’s a much different property than it was prior to Second Street being redeveloped,” she added. Potentially further complicating the possible sale is an entanglement of political
interests. Mayoral candidate Tim Callison is holding his campaign fundraiser kickoff party at Callahan’s Firehouse on Tuesday, June 16. Supporting his candidacy are four sitting city council members: Robin Black, Rene Neff, Jim Sundberg and Bruce Allen. Black is his wife. McVay is letting the political fundraiser occur without charging his normal $90-perhour event rental fee. He said it was his contribution to Callison’s campaign and saw no problem with hosting the event. “I’ve been running to own this place a lot longer than Tim’s been running for mayor,” McVay said. Sundberg said he never considered a possible conflict

of interest might exist in a case where council members would be deciding the sale of a property that was recently rented, for free, to a political candidate a majority of council members support. “It would be kind of a stretch to call that a conflict of interest,” Sundberg said in a phone interview Thursday. He was adamant that the fundraiser’s location will have no bearing on the council’s decision to potentially sell the property and building. “It has nothing to do with the disposition of the property,” Sundberg said. “We will vote for the best public interest.” Callison said he selected Callahan’s Firehouse because of its location as the de-facto center of town. Located adjacent to the Second Street plaza, Langley’s centerpiece of its road redesign, the area offered ample space for his campaign kickoff. He also did not see any possible conflict of interest arising from holding his fundraiser there. “I guess somebody could look at it if they were very cynical,” Callison said. “The reason we chose Callahan’s is it’s situated in the very center of one of the best cityrun improvements there at Second Street.” The city put out the RFP in late March with a May 18 deadline for proposals. Only one was turned in — McVay’s offer. Rumors that mayoral candidate Sharon Emerson was
trying to make an after-thefact offer on the building are untrue, she said in an email. “I had some interest in knowing whether it might be a good investment for us, but primarily I was interested in learning more about what seemed to be an odd way of handling the disposal of the firehouse,” she wrote in an email. “From the outside, I couldn’t understand why the city chose to sell the building in that manner if the goal was to get the best possible price for a surplus public asset … However, I ended up dropping the whole project due to lack of time.” When the city council approved the RFP, they did so knowing that the process meant the city had greater control over selection criteria than solely price.

When McVay’s offer came back, the council met in an executive session to discuss and set a minimum sale value for the property. McCarthy said he was not able to say what the minimum value was, only that the council indeed agreed to one. The issue is not on the city council’s agenda for its upcoming Monday, June 15 meeting. McCarthy said he expected the planning director to have a recommendation to the council by its July 6 meeting. First, the city wants to get more value estimates before resuming negotiations. “We want to talk price, and we want to get some additional opinion about where that price ought to be other than just what we had,” McCarthy said.

Saturday, June 13, 2015 • The South Whidbey Record
Editorial Hospital’s patient council is a new start Whidbey General’s plan for a new Patient Advisory Council is a great step in the right direction for the public hospital. The agency has been through a lot of turmoil over the last year with turnover in several top management positions and a divisive criminal case that highlighted concerns about how the hospital does business. It’s a perfect time for a new start. It appears that change is coming to the hospital. New CEO Geri Forbes promised to usher in an era of openness, transparency and community engagement. Five candidates are running for two seats on the hospital board. Three of them are new candidates who hope to help reform the hospital and repair its reputation in the community. Construction of the large expansion project is supposed to begin this year. The formation of this new council is an opportunity for citizens to voice an opinion and participate in a way that can promote the kind of change they want to see. This council is an opportunity for the hospital’s customers to be actively involved in the hospital they help fund annually through property taxes. The focus of the patient advisory council is to assure that policies and processes are patient friendly. That doesn’t just mean a good outcome, but that the experience is positive. It’s encouraging to see the hospital administration taking positive steps to improve its image and its service to patients. While Whidbey General is a public agency, it is also a business. One of the most important aspects of a business is customer service. The hospital already keeps a close eye on patient satisfaction through data collected in voluntary questionnaires. The advisory council will allow for more of a back-andforth dialogue between patients and caregivers. The patients will presumably learn more about how hospitals operate and what challenges and limitations hospital administrators face. To say that the world of healthcare is complicated is an understatement, which can make meaningful change difficult at a public hospital. Yet the biggest alteration that needs to happen isn’t so much of substance than of style. The hospital adopted the “Patients First” philosophy years ago, but that doctrine didn’t seem to extend to the hospital leadership’s interaction with the public. Now’s the opportunity to get involved, and we hope to see a large response from the public on this endeavor.

Consider re-grade over funicular, lift Editor, Well, it is too late to run for mayor, but if I did my campaign would champion a “Langley re-grade” public works project that would eliminate the need for the maligned funicular. I can’t take credit for the idea that would eliminate the bluff that separates the waterfront from Langley proper. I found the idea in an early 1960s Island County “general plan” by Harstad Associates, an engineering/planning firm. The plan shows a section view of Langley Loop Road and how the re-grade would allow the waterfront to blend in and become a focal point of the

town. Yes, it is a big and bold idea, but look what it did for Seattle. The “Denny regrade” eliminated a hill that had “blocked the city’s manifest destiny of northward expansion.” A “Think Big, Langley!” bumper sticker idea is free to all candidates who metaphorically put their hat in the ring and agree with me.

friends are all disappointed as well. We had three home meets and not one picture about it. All season we have had small articles naming what times we got. During Cascade Conference many kids placed first and did super well, but no group pictures or article that didn’t just state times. But when the middle school placed they got a whole page. I’m just hoping next year there will be something more about track; we have three home meets and possibly will be hosting bi-district (the meet before state). There will be more than plenty of opportunity to write about track. Maybe explore the inside atmosphere of team spirit and our motto of “Trackfam,” and learn that here at South Whidbey we don’t focus on
our self, but the team members we have around us. Thank you,

Emerson has my vote for mayor Editor, The many reasons to support Sharon Emerson have been said much more elegantly by others but, besides her platform just making good sense, her experience and abilities insuring intelligent governing, I support her campaign because it is a breath of fresh air that could blow away the existing stale, worn out concepts and agendas and offer much needed new direction for Langley.

Remembering Roger Harrison
By Bill Koenig
Roger Harrison, whom I came to know only in the last 10 years, holds a special place in my life. He modeled character traits that I can only aspire to emulate: fierceness and vulnerability. This is an odd pairing which I had the chance to observe first-hand in Roger on a couple of occasions. I suspect he lived into them all of his life. I saw the fierceness when Roger believed in something. He was uncompromising in his resolution to see that something through because it was consistent with his values. His vulnerability was publicly showcased in his book, “Consultant’s Journey: A Dance of Work and Spirit,” published when he was 65. He had a clear mandate in writing this “coming to wisdom” book: “I believe most of us tend to learn more from our difficulties than we do from our successes, but we report our successes in public and ruminate about our failures and disappointments in private. If anything, I have reversed those pri-

orities here, in a determination to let it all hang out!” The book, which I found frequently painful to read, is a testament to Roger’s signature vulnerability. I also suspect that this vulnerability led him in recent years to a deep yearning to write and discuss love in the workplace. Peter Block, a seminal contributor along with Roger to the field of organization development (OD), shares an early cameo of Roger as he began his career: “My first contact with Roger was as a member of one of the graduate sensitivity groups at Yale . . . He ran a class with no structure, no leadership, and for which everyone got the same grade—a B. We all went crazy, and Roger was right there with us. He was committed to his own learning, open about his mistakes, and willing to be vulnerable. These were, and remain, radical acts for a Yale University professor.” In 2009, I had the privilege of gathering Roger Harrison and four other seminal OD theorists and practitioners (Geoff Bellman, Edgar Schein, Marv Weisbord, and Don Swartz), “the Old White Guys of OD,” to reminisce for over an hour about their own experiences as pioneers of the organization development field; they all identified their early involvement with training groups as their initiation rite into OD. Roger, with his wife Margaret Harris, provided me with a model of partnership. In brief encounters with them separately and together, I observed and learned how their love for each other was grounded in fierceness and vulnerability. I will miss Roger. His
fierceness lives on in me, goading me to be more vulnerable.

In loving memory of Nichol Marie Zalewski “Sister Bell” age 23 from Langley. On May 6, surrounded by her family, Nichol was called home to be with her Lord and Savior after a long battle with cancer. Nichol was born Aug. 23, 1991 at Northwest Hospital in Seattle to Rick and Sue Zalewski. She grew up with her twin brother Ryan, graduated from South Whidbey High
Page A7
School in 2009 and went on to study art at Western Washington University. A notable athlete, equestrian and lover of the outdoors, Nichol also possessed a deep passion and talent for art. She exhibited uncommon inner strength and courage that was balanced with gentleness and compassion which inspired those who knew her. She was loved by many. She is survived by her parents Rick and Sue, brother Ryan, grandparents Nancy and Stan Andrews of Langley, grandparents Al and Carol Zalewski of Manson, Wash., and greatgrandmother Irene Boyce of Wenatchee, Wash. In honor of Nichol, there will be a celebration of life service at 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 28, at the Fireseed Gardens at 6051 Coles Road, Langley. We would like to extend a special thank you to Kenon and Sherri Simmons and Pastor Dick Jeffers, as well as our appreciation to all our family, friends and the community for their support.

SW Little League claims Andrade Tournament title

The South Whidbey Little League 11- and 12-year-old Dodgers pose for a team picture with their Andrade Tournament medals.
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record Behind efficient pitching, solid defense and mighty batting, South Whidbey Little League’s Dodgers squad claimed the Andrade Tournament championship on Thursday in Oak Harbor. South Whidbey never trailed as the 11- and 12 year-old Dodgers broke free from a tie in the fourth
inning and piled on more runs in the fifth and sixth to beat Coupeville 9-2. Dodgers coach Brian Sterba credited the one-two pitching of Brent Batchelor and Ethan Petty plus the hitting of Drew Frye, Josh Sterba, Batchelor and Petty. Frye had a triple, and Petty hit a triple with two RBI. Sterba brought in two runs, as did Nick Black.

secure South Whidbey’s second consecutive Andrade Tournament title. When asked if it was the start of a South Whidbey Little League dynasty, Petty laughed and said, “I hope so.” With strong winds kicking up, the field became “the dust bowl,” Sterba said, and slowed play a bit. The game lasted about two hours.

Falcon athletic director leaves SWHS for Vashon position
Record file photo
Kelly Kirk, South Whidbey High School athletic director and assistant principal is leaving for a job on Vashon Island.
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record As South Whidbey High School’s days wind to a close, so do they for athletic director Kelly Kirk. Kirk, who took over the assistant principal and athletic director position in the 2013-14 school year, is leaving for a similar position at Vashon Island High School. The departure was necessitated by family needs, he said. “My family still lives in Tacoma and I stay up here during the week,” said Kirk, who has two daughters. “Our plan originally was to move up this way; some other family considerations came up. It wasn’t going to be practical.” “Other than that, I hate to go,” he added. “The school’s great, kids are great, John’s a great guy to work for, Dr. Moccia’s great.” Having left the Federal Way School District, Kirk sought out the South
Whidbey job for a lower-key position at a school with high-percentage student participation in extracurriculars. Just under half of the student body, 214 out of 470, played a sport this spring. High numbers of students engaging in activities such as sports and clubs was a reflection of the coaches and advisors, Kirk said. “The coaches down here are so professional and really dedicated to their sport, really passionate about it,” he said. “The results showed, especially in the spring.” This spring sport season, all of the programs reached the postseason and only one missed out on the statewide competition. Kirk jokingly said he told Principal John Patton that it was entirely because of the athletic department’s oversight. “Like I keep telling John, ‘It was superior athletic
directing,’ ” he laughed. “More than anything, I’ve been along for the ride,” he later added. “I realized pretty quickly when I got here that the coaches were so good I just needed to get out of the way and just make sure they had buses and officials.” Under his watch, the school district replaced the track surface which was unsuitable for competition in the 2013-14 school year. This year saw the first track and field meet at Waterman’s Field in more than 12 months. Ahead for the district, said Kirk, is a likely decision about whether to replace the grass field with an artificial turf. In the South Whidbey High School’s eight-school athletics and activities league, the Cascade Conference, only Lakewood and South Whidbey have grass fields for football and soccer. In his time at South Whidbey High School, Kirk oversaw a pair of key hires. One of his first coaching tasks was the selection of the football coach, which went to former collegiate and now professional coach Chris Tormey. His stint lasted only a year as the allure of a professional job with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League proved too strong and he left South Whidbey this spring. Kirk also hired Michael Washington Sr. to coach the boys basketball team. Washington was a local choice after coaching Oak Harbor High School’s boys team for the past several

years. Other changes for the school’s athletic department include a new football coach and a new girls golf head coach. Kirk confirmed
that longtime girls golf head coach Tom Sage submitted his resignation. An asset for South Whidbey is the longevity of its coaching staff. Sage had
coached for a decade, as have many Falcon coaches. “The thing that kills a program is lack of continuity,” Kirk said.

Are your dog’s
ears burning?
a dog’s digging at his ears can be the first sign of an allergy or a simple infection of the outer ear. In fact, about 20% of dogs will get itchy ears at some point in their lives, and it’s one of the most common reasons why dogs are seen by veterinarians. Addressing the root cause of itchy ears can save both you and your dog some scratch. If your dogs ears are burning and it isn’t because you’re telling someone what a great dog he is, stop by and tell us about your dog. We can help you identify the cause and understand the science, and help you find an effective, natural solution.*

Pride parade fundraiser starts on festive footing By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record When Kathryn Lynn Morgen peered into the upstairs landing of the main barn at Greenbank Farm Friday evening, her heart swelled. The musicians of PETE had yet to commence playing for the evening’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA)-pride themed community barn dance, but about a dozen children and their respective family members were already celebrating, crafting zines and “freak flags,” taking photos and sharing a collective spirit of laughter and love. Morgen is one of the organizers of Langley’s first Queer Pride Parade, which took place in August 2014. She and co-organizers Bonnie Stinson and Michael Morgen will be heading the second parade on Aug. 2. This year, they hope to precede the parade with a conference, which would include a panel discussion and workshops. “We’re planning to keep the price-point low, prioritize diversity, and emphasize queerness in the arts, activism and education,” Stinson wrote in an email to The Record. Stinson and the Morgens are also the founders of Queer Parade Productions LLC, through which Morgen said she hopes to cultivate an

The community barn boogie was the first pridethemed dance at Greenbank, and was a part of First Fridays at the Farm. Crafts, a raffle and open mic were all a part of a fundraising effort for this year’s upcoming pride parade. Morgen noted that they only raised $116 from the raffle, though they were unsure how much was raised from the event overall as of Tuesday morning. Funds raised for the parade will go towards basics such as water bottles and snacks for volunteers, walkietalkies, a bull horn and safety vests. Stinson, Morgen and Greenbank Farm Facility and Events Coordinator Madisun Clark deemed the event a success. “It was absolutely wonderful,” Clark said. “There were over 100 people that came out and had a great time.”
Clark, who joined the farm staff in fall 2014, said she is passionate about continuing the tradition of community barn-dances and hopes to make the pride-themed dance an annual affair. “They’re important because people need a place to come out and just have fun and be safe and be themselves,” Clark said. Clark’s sentiment aligns with Morgen’s, who noted that a large part of her goal with Queer Parade Productions LLC is to create safe spaces for LGBTQIA identifying individuals to express themselves and share with fellow members of the community. After PETE’s performance, a handful of performers took advantage of the open mic segment, including a transgender man who shared a piece of poetry and an LGBTQIA activist who visited from Port Townsend

People dance during the Whidbey Queer Pride Parade fundraiser held at the Greenbank Farm on June 5. to play a tune. Jamie McHugh and Maureen “Momo” Freehill performed a dance. “Whidbey folks are very good at celebrating diversity,” Stinson wrote in an email to The Record. “And, like many, our community sometimes struggles with labels. I hope that QPP (Queer Parade Productions) has brought a modern conversation around queerness into the Whidbey zeitgeist.” Though one community member has voiced opposition to the usage of the term “queer,” Clark said that she heard no other complaints regarding the term or the event in general. “Everyone else has been incredibly supportive and welcoming,” said Clark. Morgen concurred. For the most part, she said, she and Stinson have been able to facilitate conversations about their choice of the
re-appropriated word with individuals who objected, and have been able to reach mutual understanding. Stinson, Morgen and Clark each expressed their excitement for this year’s parade, as did many of Friday evening’s attendees. “It was absolutely beautiful, and I can’t wait for this year’s,” Clark said of the parade. “I’m looking forward to feeling the community come together again, reveling in our differences and celebrating them together,” Stinson wrote. “It’s a tremendous honor to organize the Queer Pride Parade, and to see so many familiar faces.” In addition to the proposed conference, Morgen said she hopes to crown a parade king, queen, or nongender-specific royalty for the parade and have a grand marshal. They are still seeking applicants for the latter.

Diking district assessment proposal to move forward By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record A proposed property tax hike for Diking Improvement District 4 appears as if it will move forward with little heartburn from area residents. Less than a dozen people turned out for a public information workshop Wednesday, June 10 at the Useless Bay Golf and Country Club, and about half of those in attendance were directly involved with the proposal or were commissioners with other diking districts. “I don’t expect there will be much turnout at the [official] hearing,” said Bill Oakes, director of Island
County Public Works. Diking Improvement District 4 is one of eight in Island County, but is the only one that’s actually under county control. Day-to-day operations are under the umbrella of public works and serving as the district’s board are the Island County commissioners — Helen Price Johnson, Jill Johnson and Richard Hannold. The current proposal is to collect a flat $238 assessment for each of the approximately 200 parcels within the district boundaries. The fee would be levied once, paying for maintenance and recent repair bills for the next five years. Oakes led Wednesday’s

workshop, giving a quick history lesson of the district’s formation in 1919 and the details of the request, such as how the process works and what it would pay for. While the crowd was small, there were several questions from the crowd. Richard Boyle, a longtime Shore Avenue resident, asked how the county knew which properties were within the ancient district lines and which were not. Oakes said it was a matter of comparing the original boundaries with modern parcel maps. “So, from a 1919 map,” said Boyle, with a light hearted grin. “It might be something worth updating, but who am I but a grouchy old guy?” He also asked why the proposal was for a flat rate, rather than by benefit per property. “The last two times we’ve done this, we’ve decided the fairest thing to do was have everyone pay the same thing,” Oakes said. Ron Donckers added that

Island County Public Works Director Bill Oakes answers questions at a workshop Wednesday about a proposed assessment in Diking Improvement District 4. the rationale behind the idea is that a critical failure of infrastructure, such as
the dikes, would result in homeowners of all values losing everything.

Tim Lawrence agreed that there has been some tension with the Beach Watchers who have found it frustrating to constantly need approval from WSU leadership in Pullman. In some cases, the university and the Beach Watchers have been unable to come to an agreement on simple things like venues, speakers, training or topics. “Now they can do what they want to do without restriction,” Lawrence said. The organization is celebrating its 25th year since inception and its 20th year organizing Sound Waters, its annual fundraising seminar focusing on environmental issues. “It’s easier for them to plan this on their own,” Lawrence said. “We wish them well.” Another extension group, the Lighthouse Docents, left WSU oversight starting Jan. 1 and is now under the management of the state Parks and Recreation Department. Lawrence said in both cases, the individual organization had grown to a state where they no longer needed the assistance of WSU Extension. Similar to the Master Gardeners program, an agreement between WSU Extension and its former programs will allow for sharing of resources while still allowing them the autonomy they crave. Judy Feldman, who worked within WSU Extension programs for more than 10 years, said that there has been a shift in the university’s priorities over the last several years. “It’s a different climate now,” Feldman said. Ten years ago, the program was under the leadership of Don Meehan, who prioritized finding grant money and supporting volunteerism, according to Feldman. “It was a different time at the extension,”
Donckers is a member of the district board of appraisers, which was formed per state law to determine a rate, hold a public meeting and then make a recommendation to the county commissioners. Members include Oakes as the county engineer, Amy Witt as the county’s chief deputy appraiser and one county resident — Donckers. Others in the room seemed more supportive of the assessment. Bill Sievers, also a longtime Shore Avenue resident, said he would lose little sleep over the amount sought. “It seems pretty reasonable compared to previous assessments,” Sievers said. The meeting adjourned after about 30 minutes. According to Oakes, the commissioners are expected to hold a formal public hearing on the proposal in August before the board votes to approve or reject the assessment. If approved, it will go into effect in 2016.
Feldman said. “Each director brings their own personality and priorities. The current director just has a different perspective with more focus on academic resources. That’s not bad, it’s just different.” Feldman served as the interim director of Beach Watchers for a year and a half during her tenure and is now the director of Greenbank Farm Management Group. At the height of its popularity in 2004-2006, the county’s Beach Watchers was the “poster child” for WSU Extension programs statewide, Feldman said. The organization enjoyed an influx of grant money at the time, both due to a popularity of environmental issues and Meehan’s dedication to seeking out and attaining funding. “It was a time of heightened funding for all things maritime ecology,” Feldman said. “(Meehan) saw that as his role. Don was the master at finding the money.” The group took some heat from the public at the time because they thought state funding was better spent elsewhere. Since that time, grant funding has all but disappeared and the group relies almost exclusively on fundraising. Despite its 580 members, only 220 are active and Beach Watchers only raises around $50,000 annually — something Pritchard said the group would like to change. With their new independence, the group can pursue donations from companies — like Shell Oil Company — which already give to WSU. The group will also be able to plan fundraising events and activities without WSU approval. Current Beach Watchers Director Barbara Bennett was out of the office this week and was unavailable for comment. Pritchard said that while Bennett will retain her position as director through the end of the year, it was unclear what role she would play in the new organization.

Clinton woman wins car in Eagles’ charity raffle By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record
Contributed photo
Gay Turn accepts the title and keys to her new car from Bobby Morrison. She won it in an Eagles raffle.
Possession Point resident Gay Turner bought a used car this month, for $10. She was the winning recipient of a Whidbey Island Eagles raffle, which raised money for charities across South Whidbey. According to Dave Moulton, a member of the club’s board, Turner was
more than a bit excited to learn she was the winner. “She was on the ferry when we called her,” he said. “She disrupted the sailing … with her screaming.” Turner admitted the news was a thrill. “I was hysterical,” she said. “My husband was sound asleep and I started yelling at him to go up and tell the captain to get the boat docked.”

She drove straight to the aerie in Freeland to pick up the car and title, then promptly bought the house a round of drinks Moulton said. Raffle participants bought tickets for $10 a piece, or three for $25. It went on for about two months before organizers pulled Turner’s winning ticket. The raffle was made possible by Bobby Morrison, also an Eagles’ board member. The car, a “pristine condition” 1990 Lincoln Towncar with low miles, belonged to his mother. He decided it would be a good way to raise money for the Eagles yearly donation to various non-profit groups and charities.
“He just thought it’d be nice thing to do for the club and the community,” Moulton said. “It’s just one of many things he’s given the club. He’s a great guy.” Turner said she wanted the car, a lot, and that she didn’t technically get the car for just $10. It was more like $175 as she simply couldn’t help but buy more and more tickets over the course of the event. “I didn’t remember I bought that many but it wasn’t enough to rig the raffle,” Turner said. “She and I were meant to be together; her name is Ethel, after Bobby’s mother.”

until next week at the earliest. “That satisfies our requirements,” Campbell said. Ernie Swanson, a spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service’s Seattle district, confirmed the agency had hired Northwest Management Services to make the fix and that the heavy lifting is still at least a week away. While it appears the two agencies have reached an agreement, the seemingly simply issue has percolated for more than a year. Campbell noticed water usage at the post office, located on the corner of Main Street and East Harbor Road, was steadily increasing in 2014. That’s often a sign of a leak, so he alerted postal workers of the potential problem, but it was never fixed. District policy authorizes the district to shut off a customer’s water if a leak isn’t addressed within 30 days of an official notification. With no visible progress, Campbell mailed a warning letter to the post master May 13 alerting her of the pending enforcement action. The response was that shutting off the water would effectively close the federal building due to employee requirements. “She said they wouldn’t be able to be open without a functioning bathroom,” Campbell said. With the deadline pending, he brought the issue before the district commissioners Monday during the their regular monthly meeting. Campbell explained that delays may be ,in part, due to the many bureaucratic channels associated with the federal agency — postal workers complained the repair was out of their hands and the responsibility of out-of-state postal officials. Also, the leak may be difficult to address. The post office has old galvanized pipes and isolating the break may present challenges. It could be an expensive fix, but something needs to be done, he said. “They’re losing a lot of water,” Campbell said. The commissioners were unsympathetic to the delay, saying the problem had gone on long enough. They agreed to give the post office a two-week extension if a plan was submitted by the original June 13 deadline, but would carry through with the threat of service disruption. “We’ve waited too long, lost too much water,” Commissioner Eric Hansen said. “It’s immoral.” According to Campbell, he didn’t hear from the post office until Friday morning, which was after The Record contacted Swanson and inquired about the standoff. Campbell said the official he spoke with said approval for the emergency came from the top. “The guy I talked with said he spoke with the number three guy in the country for the postal service,” he said. Swanson said he couldn’t confirm who had spoken with Campbell, but believed the final OK came from the Denver office. Also, it’s unclear whether the post office would have really closed if the water had been shut off. There are rural locations where lone post masters lack bathrooms and must use neighboring facilities, he said, but there may be rules he’s unaware of that could have come into effect. “I really can’t speculate on that,” Swanson said.
