DESCRIPTION
November 20, 2014 edition of the Whidbey ExaminerTRANSCRIPT
By Megan HansenCo-Editor
A well-known community volunteer in Central Whidbey will be taking the reins at the Port of Coupeville.
David Day begins his new position as ex-ecutive director Monday, Dec. 15.
“I’ve always been interested in the port and the fact it owns two very iconic historic properties on Whidbey Island,” Day said. “I came here because it’s a beautiful little town and I wanted to contribute to the best of my ability.
“This job is an extension of that.”The Coupeville resident moved to the
island in 2000 after owning a restaurant in Skagit County.
“I was pretty clear I wouldn’t own another restaurant, but I knew I wanted to be in-volved,” Day said.
He went on to serve on the Town of Coupeville’s Planning Commission, the Eb-ey’s Forever Fund Board and the Friends of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, serving as board president.
Since last spring, Day has volunteered his time to help the port apply for a National Heritage Preservation Grant.
He has also been shadowing Director Tim
McDonald, who’s leaving the job, on various projects, including the fuel float replacement project, drafting the request for proposals for Greenbank Farm management and other various port operations.
“If we had chosen any of (the candidates) we’d have gotten a great executive director,” said Port Commissioner Bill Larsen.
The three members of the board said they chose Day based on his familiarity and expe-rience with the port and community.
Day will work alongside McDonald for two weeks prior to his departure.
“Tim really has gotten a lot accomplished in a year,” Day said. “He brought the moor-age floats and fuel floats back to viability — that’s just one aspect.”
Owning and maintaining two iconic struc-tures — the Coupeville Wharf and Green-bank Farm — with very little money and making it work is an accomplishment, he said.
Ongoing projects include negotiating a new management contract with the Green-bank Farm Management Group, negotiat-ing with parties interested in the Greenbank Solar Project and managing ongoing main-tenance and repair projects such as the port stairwell and port office foundation.
Running the port affords Day the op-portunity to learn and manage all types of subjects.
His experience working on the planning commission and with the reserve should give him some familiarity with what goes into working with historic structures.
“It’s some pretty interesting and pretty important historical references,” Day said. “I would like to think I have a reasonable under-standing.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

Port selects new executive director
Transit’s choice has sordid pastBy Jessie StenslandCo-Editor
Mired in financial problems and on the heels of a scathing state audit, Island Tran-sit officials are looking at a new interim director with controversial baggage of his own.
Board members unanimously voted Friday night to authorize the chairman to enter into contract negotiations with Ken-neth J. Graska, former assistant general manager of MV Transportation.
Graska was executive director of Com-munity Transit in Snohomish County in 1993 when it was investigated by the FBI over a bribery and kickback scandal.
Graska resigned after receiving “blis-tering criticism” in a management audit that described an “‘often autocratic and intimidating’ treatment of employees, resulting in ‘very thin’ support for him at all levels of the organization,” according

The grounds are sacred to Steve Kob-ylk.
His interest in the history and protec-tion of former military reservations such as Fort Casey runs deep.
As the Whidbey Island field represen-tative of the national Coast Defense Study Group, he is always keeping a watchful eye, which isn’t difficult.
“I can see it from the house,” said Kob-ylk, a resident of nearby Admiral’s Cove in Coupeville.
These days, Kobylk is delighted to see the grandest quarters of the former fort getting an overdue touchup.
Popularly known as the Colonel’s House, the former commanding officer’s quarters on the property of Seattle Pacific University’s Camp Casey Conference

For the 16th year, hun-dreds of people will share their Thanksgiving holiday together at the Coupeville Recreation Hall.
Coupeville’s Commu-nity Potluck begins at noon Thanksgiving Day and goes until 2:30 p.m. or until food runs out.
A loose-knit group of vol-unteers will cook the holiday staples as the main course, and it’s up to the people who show up to bring the side dishes, said Sandey Brandon, event volunteer. But you don’t have to bring a side to eat.
So far, the group has 13 turkeys and about a half dozen hams donated for the meal.
In the beginning, the meal was supported by some local
businesses but over the years has grown into an indepen-dent program.
The turkeys and hams are donated by the volunteers and each year, without being asked, guests have donated cash to help support the cost of plates, utensils, table cloths and other supplies.
“This year we’re adding sparkling cider,” Brandon said.
The event is alcohol and smoke free.
“The fun thing is seeing what sides we get,” Brandon said. “Some years we get a lot of potatoes, and some years we don’t get enough.
“We get some vegan dishes.”
In addition to the resi-dents attending, Brandon said tourists visiting Coupe-ville and families with loved ones in the hospital also enjoy
a Thanksgiving meal at the rec hall.
“We make plates to go for shut-ins, and we give away all the food at the end,” Brandon said. “We often get emergen-cy crews stopping in to take food back. We’re prepared for all that.”
The event runs pretty smoothly each year and has a good amount of volunteers in place. If anyone is interested in volunteering, they can al-ways use help cleaning up at the end.
“Every year it comes to-gether beautifully,” Brandon said.
With an average of 220 people attending each year, the only difficulty the group encounters is having enough room. Guests come to eat and then spend several hours visiting with new and old friends.
Brandon said the group has thought about moving the event to a larger location, but they just really like the feel in the rec hall.
“Come and enjoy, and hopefully you find a place to sit,” she said.

Whidbey General Hospi-tal’s board of commissioners adopted their legal budget last week.
This budget, approved Monday, Nov. 10, according to Chief Operations Officer Terry Litke, is the estimated amounts for budget increas-es in the 2015 calendar year, and the detailed budget is yet to be completed.
The legal budget is re-quired to be completed by the end of November in or-der to set the property taxes, which will increase by the maximum-allowed 1 per-cent, in time.
The board approved three resolutions.
The first resolved to adopt the legal budget and the 1 percent tax increase. The other two were to ap-prove the actual dollar amount increases in the emergency medical services levy amount and the main-tenance and operations levy amount, which were $45,537.93 and $8,966, re-spectively.
The legal budget includes estimated revenue amounts from both the normal op-erations and non-operating revenues.
Estimated revenues from 2015 are about $1.74 million.
Operating expenses, which are estimated at $112.3 million, project a loss of about $4.9 million for the coming year.
Hospital administrators estimate that they’ll have $8 million “cash on hand” to support the loss, which leaves $3 million in the re-serve.
The current amounts are estimated amounts; actual amounts will be detailed in the final budget.
Litke said the hospital’s board hopes to have the fi-nal budget completed by the end of November, but he’s unsure if it will make that deadline, since they’re still working on getting it final-ized.
“The bottom line on the final budget may or may not be a $5 million loss,” Litke said. “This is our estimate of what it’s going to be at this point in time.”
Hospital budget projects a $4.9 million shortfall

Colleen Moynahan
McLeanColleen Moynahan
McLean completed her rich, creative life Saturday, Nov. 8, 2014.
Born in Ketchikan, Alaska, Dec. 28, 1929, to Agnes Moynahan and Lt. Commander J. Phillip Moynahan USCC, Colleen and her family spent her early years moving from base to base across the United States, returning to Everett, Wash., in 1943. She attended Holy Angels Academy, where her artistic talents were recognized by Sr. Edwina, who recommended her to Cornish Academy of Art after her graduation in 1947.
Colleen was accepted to Cornish and completed a year of study. Discouraged from returning for her sec-ond year by a faculty member who suggested that although she showed great promise she would “most likely get married, have a family and quit painting,” Colleen dis-continued her formal art studies but continued to paint.
She married Donald A. “Mac” McLean in August 1950 at Blessed Sacrament
OBITUARY
McLean
Church in Seattle. They had nine children, although two died in infancy, between 1951 and 1962. Throughout this very busy time, Colleen con-tinued to paint and draw, tak-ing workshops and seminars as time and children allowed. She returned to Cornish in 1969 and renewed her focus on art, and over the next 35 years, she developed as a strong painter and portrait artist.
She and Mac moved to the Oregon coast in 1980 when Mac retired and Colleen became a founding member of the Casbah Artist Group, participating in group shows and exhibits as recently as August 2014. During her 25 years on the Oregon coast, Colleen was also active in the Newport arts commu-nity, designing and building costumes for many theater and dance productions, and completed two artist in resi-dence positions at the Sitka Art and Ecology Institute in Neskowin, Ore.
The Casbah Art group presented a 50-year Retrospective Art Exhibition of Colleen’s work in 1996 at The Newport Fine Arts Center. Just prior to this event, Colleen was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration, and although her vision grad-ually declined, she continued to paint until her move to Portland in 2005.
In 2009, she settled on Whidbey Island with her daughter and completed her life at Fairhaven Adult Family home, where she passed away peacefully Nov. 8, 2014. Colleen loved being sur-rounded by family and cher-ished the creative process. She was happiest creating art in the company of those she loved.
Colleen is survived by her seven children, Mendy
McLean-Stone, Bruce McLean, Martin McLean, Molly McLean, Kate Vasquez, Jenny Macc and Megan Hyde; 11 grandchil-dren; and four great-grand-children. She is pre-deceased by her children, Andrew and Shebonne McLean; husband, “Mac” McLean; and brother, Pat Moynahan.
Colleen requested no for-mal funeral services be con-ducted. Cremation was held with private family inurn-ment to follow.

Now is also the time to thank adoptive parentsEditor,
It is fitting that this season of Thanksgiv-ing is also the season to give thanks to the adoptive parents and families who grace our communities.
November is National Adoption Aware-ness Month. While all adoptions are signifi-cant, the particular focus for this month is the adoption of children from foster care.
Communities across the nation are gath-ering to celebrate the hope and the happiness that lies ahead for children and their forever families.
The same is true in Island County.On Nov. 21, Island County children and
their adoptive parents and families will gath-er with child advocates, family court judges, social workers and adoption professionals to celebrate the promise of life renewed.
The choice to adopt a child is a response to one of life’s highest callings. To Island
County parents who are answering that call-ing, your fellow community members stand tall in your honor.

Voter turnout reflects generation’s lazinessEditor,
This election has been just plain disgust-ing. Not because of who won or lost, but be-cause of what did not happen. Two-thirds of the people in this country who are eligible to vote did not vote.
This is disgusting.What on earth is the matter with people
in this country? In many ways, we are looked upon by others on this planet as what should be a model of freedom and democratic rights. Well, theoretically, anyway. Do you really need to be reminded how many have sacri-ficed so much so that you have the privilege to vote? Do you really need to be reminded how many people in so many parts of this
world would die for that privilege? Would a lecture do you any good? Sadly I don’t think so. But let me tell you this: If you didn’t vote, you are disgusting. You let your self-absorp-tion, your complacency, your slovenly lazi-ness excuse you from participating in a pro-cess that should be an integral part of helping determine what happens to your future.
So, unless you are on your deathbed or you have some extreme problem that keeps you from voting, then I say, “Shame on you.” You are pathetic and should be ashamed of yourself. Three-fourths of the 30 percent of the eligible voters who did vote were over the age of 40.
My message then, particularly to younger non-voters, is just this: Get off your self-ab-sorbed, complacent, electronic toy-immersed behinds and participate. Next time, vote. And if you don’t, then don’t complain about how degraded your life, your rights and your future have become by a government that you didn’t help choose. Seriously.

There’s a lot to be thankful for when you live in such a beautiful place as Whid-bey Island.
And there’s even more reason to be thankful when you live in such a unique community like Coupeville.
Living in a small town has its advan-tages. People quickly come to know each other, and soon everyone is your neighbor.
It’s in this familiarity that traditions are born and people start looking forward to certain events each year.
Next week, residents have two tradi-tions to partake in — the 16th annual Coupeville Thanksgiving potluck and the Coupeville Historic Waterfront Associa-tion’s Gingerbread Workshop.
Starting at noon on Thanksgiving Day, a group of volunteers will cook up tur-key and ham at the Coupeville Rec Hall. Guests are asked to bring a side dish.
Everything is free and it’s just an op-portunity to visit with your neighbors. The event continues until the food is gone.
Then on Saturday, Nov. 29, the historic waterfront association will offer its an-nual Gingerbread Workshop, which will be held 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Coupeville Masonic Lodge on North Main Street.
The association provides the kits and decorating treats — also free.
If you’re happy with your masterpiece, take it over to the Coupeville Library where the Examiner, association and Friends of the Coupeville Library are holding the Gingerbread Challenge.
Entries are accepted and will be on display until Friday, Dec. 19. The public is invited to vote on their favorite until that date as well.
Winners for best adult, youth and peo-ple’s choice entries will be announced Dec. 21 at the Red Ticket Drawing.
Whether you celebrate next week with family or friends, take pause to give thanks to all the people who give back to this community.
There’s a lot to be thankful for living in a small town

By Jim WallerStaff Reporter
Maggio moves team in right direction
Though Coupeville High School football coach Tony Maggio resigned recently after three years directing the program, he won’t disappear from the Central Whidbey athletic scene.
“I want to go and enjoy the games,” Maggio said. “I love this community; whether it is volleyball, basketball –whatever I can go to – I will be there.
“I am proud to be a Wolf.”
Maggio recently took a position with the Sherwin Williams Paint Company, and that commitment makes it difficult to coach, he said.
Another factor in his decision to step down is his family.
“They have sacrificed a lot over the past 10 years of me coaching,” Maggio said. “It is time I gave back to April, Sawyer and Anthony.”
Under Maggio’s watch, the Wolves improved each season. Coupeville won two games in 2012, four last year and five this season.
“For me, I just wanted the kids to get better every year,” he said. “Also, I wanted us to get involved with the com-munity.”
An example of the latter came this fall when his club
helped the Clark family.“Our kids have demon-
strated compassion for oth-ers,” Maggio said. “After Sharon Clark’s husband passed, our team went to her home and did lawn work, odd jobs to get ready for Kevin’s memorial service.”
By helping others, Maggio said, “The kids learn respect, giving back to their commu-
nity, love for each other and how to work hard to achieve goals.”
The highlights of his three years, he said, came both on and off the field.
“I think beating South Whidbey two out of three years was important for our program, and each year win-ning more games than the year before,” he said.
“My fondest memories are of the people I have met- and the love this community showed me and my family.”
Maggio likes where the program is heading: “(It) is in great shape; we do not need any rebuilding. We have great young athletes that are going to do great things.”
Maggio said his and the team’s success wouldn’t have been achieved without the support of his family, in-cluding his mother, Glenna Parsons, and father, Chuck Maggio.
Will he return to the side-lines someday?
“Maybe. Never say never.”
Olympic League names Bayne MVP
Josh Bayne caught the attention of his Olympic League opponents this sea-son, now he hopes to get the attention of a few college coaches.
Bayne, a senior back, was selected the conference’s Most Valuable Player.
It’s easy to see why. He carried the ball 143
times for 1,528 yards (a 10.69 average) and 15 touchdowns and caught 31 passes for 460 yards and 10 more scores. He also completed the only pass he threw, and that went for 43 yards.
Defensively, he led the team with 77 tackles and had six interceptions and four fumble recoveries.
Shining brightest among his many standout individ-ual game performances was his final game as a Wolf. In Coupeville’s 55-38 win over Bellevue Christian Nov. 7, Bayne ran for 311 yards on 19 carries, grabbed two passes for 40 yards, returned a kick-off for 16 yards, recorded seven tackles, recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass and returned it 24 yards. He also scored six touchdowns.
That effort earned him the Washington Interscholas-tic Activities Association’s 1A Player of the Week award.
Earlier in the season he rushed for 306 yards against Chimacum and 218 against South Whidbey.
Bayne, a four-year let-termen and team captain, showed his versatility during his career. As a freshman, he played wide receiver; he was the starting quarterback as a sophomore; and last season he split his time between QB and running back.
Bayne credits his break-out senior season on offense to playing one position for
two years in a row and to his coaches, “who taught me well.”
He also credits his coach-es for teaching him “to read keys” for his ball-hawking skills on defense.
Maggio said, “He has the best vision I have seen for a running back.”
That vision blended with patience, speed and balance make Bayne an outstanding runner, according to Maggio.
Bayne said he would con-sider playing college football if given a scholarship, but few schools have shown interest because of his size (5-foot-10, 150 pounds).
He is also a standout baseball player and would consider playing that sport in college as well: “We’ll see how this season comes along.”
“For now,” he said, “I am focusing on academics.”
That focus has resulted in a 3.83 grade point average.
10 Wolves receive 1st-team honors
Along with Bayne, nine other Wolves received Olym-pic League first-team honors for fall sports.
Bayne was joined on the football first team by seniors Aaron Wright (offensive line), Oscar Liquidano (defensive line) and Matt Shank (defen-sive line) and junior Wiley Hesselgrave (linebacker).
Two Wolves earned a spot on the honorable mention list: senior quarterback Joel Wal-stad and freshman defensive back Hunter Smith.
In soccer, first-team honors went to seniors Julia Myers (goalkeeper), Erin Rosenkranz (midfielder) and Marisa Etzell (forward).
Senior Hailey Hammer (middle blocker) and sopho-more Valen Trujillo (libero) were first-team choices in vol-leyball.
Coupeville football coach resigns after 3 years Bayne named league MVP; 10 Wolves earn all-league, 1st-team honors

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

to a 1993 story in the Everett Herald.
The Herald did a series of investigated pieces on Com-munity Transit and Graska at the time.
In one story, Graska admitted that he was told about possible kickbacks in his maintenance department, but did little to follow up. An-other story states that federal investigators subpoenaed Graska’s “personal business records, including credit card slips and company cellular telephone bills.”
Federal court records show Graska was not in-dicted.
Graska could not be reached for comment.
Trouble for the tran-sit board erupted this past summer after the severity of financial problems came to light, necessitating layoffs of 24 employees and the elimi-nation or alteration of five routes.
Then-director Martha Rose resigned in September. She received a severance pay-out of more than $100,000, in-cluding unused vacation and sick leave; Washington state auditors found that she may have taken vacation without deducting it from her vaca-tion balance.
As a result of the state au-dit, Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks asked the Wash-ington State Patrol to investi-gate the agency; the investiga-tion is ongoing.
A transit employee,
speaking on condition of anonymity, said IT staff members are “aghast” af-ter learning about Graska’s background.
Coupeville Councilman Bob Clay, chairman of the board and current interim IT director, said there’s no rea-son for people to be worried. He said the board members were aware of Graska’s his-tory and that Graska didn’t try to hide it.
“I think we felt that the situation was explained to us and we felt comfortable with it,” he said.
Clay said seven people applied for the job and three were interviewed during an extensive process over more than six hours Friday. He explained that key members of staff had one-on-one meet-ings with the three candidates and even went through an exercise in which each candi-date held a staff meeting.
Other staff members and the public got a chance to meet the candidates and give their input to board mem-bers before they entered into a closed session to discuss the candidates’ qualifications.
Problems at Community Transit happened 20 years ago, said Clay, and the Com-munity Transit board at the time expressed confidence in Graska.
The Community Transit board authorized an audit of the agency’s management by Moss Adams Consulting in response to the federal grand-jury investigation of kick-backs and bribes involving
bus-transmission repairs, the Everett Herald reported.
The audit reported that Graska’s management style “paralyzes people into in-action for fear of making mistakes,” according to The Herald.
The Community Transit maintenance director re-signed after admitting to ac-cepting gifts from the owner of a transmission shop.
The shop owner was con-victed on 15 counts of mail fraud for overbilling, The Herald reported.
A biography provided by Island Transit describes Graska as “an accomplished transit executive who has been in the industry for over 35 years,” with expertise in policy development, capital development programs, para-transit services, and creating and managing annual operat-ing budgets.
Graska, who lives in Va-lencia, Calif., was assistant general manager with MV Transportation, assisting in the development and man-agement of the Microsoft employee commuter bus and transportation services.
Island County Commis-sioner Helen Price Johnson said Monday that she’s ex-cited to move forward with an interim director.
Each of the candidates had strengths in different ar-eas, she said.
“I think it’s important in each step on the way forward that we build trust in this vital agency again,” she said. “And I believe we are doing that.”
The board may consider approving a contract with Graska during a meeting this Friday, Clay said.

Center is receiving some work to its exterior.
Describing it as deferred maintenance, site manager Darrell Jacobsen said the grand, 110-year-old Colo-nial Revival-style house is getting new fir bevel siding, a fresh coat of beige paint and having its front porch and windows refurbished to further protect the exposed building from the harsh winds that blow in from Ad-miralty Inlet.
The plan is for the work to be completed by the end of December, just in time for workers tasked with the project to begin thawing out for the new year.
“We just weather up,” said Claud Linn, chief ex-ecutive officer with Oak Harbor-based Kings-Men Construction, which was hired for the project.
“As the day warms, we remove a layer.”
Linn, who’s worked on other historic structures, marvels at the construction of the two-story Colonel’s House that stands on a hill exposed to the elements.
It was built in 1904 as
part of a U.S. military post designed to help protect the entrance to the Puget Sound.
“It’s always a challenge with the age of the home,” Linn said. “The Colonel’s House is World War I vin-tage so you’re under the microscope of the histori-cal review committee. They pretty much dictate that you replace ‘like kind’ so that’s been our project.”
Complying with such standards under the watch-ful eye of Ebey’s Landing Historic Preservation Com-mission, the Oak Harbor construction company has received a thumb’s up from one expert witness.
“They’re doing a great job,” Kobylk said. “If you notice on the front porch, they’re using regional type of wood as well. It’s all tongue and groove. It’s all true dimensional. It’s a great job.”
The project is the first on the house’s exterior in about 20 years, according to Jacobsen.
“This is deferred mainte-nance, things that needed to be done for years,” he said.
Funds became available
for such work after Seattle Pacific sold 79 acres of land to the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, enabling the creation of the nearby Ad-miralty Inlet Natural Area Preserve.
“Our goal is to get all of the barracks done and the Colonel’s House done in the next few years if we can afford it,” Jacobsen said. “That’s all we’ve planned at this point.”
Seattle Pacific has owned the land that makes up the Camp Casey Conference Center since 1956 — three years after the fort was shut down.
Much of the remaining land that made up the fort is part of Fort Casey State Park.
More than 40 command-ing officers with ranks from major to lieutenant colonel took up residence in the house that Seattle Pacific would later call the Colonel’s House.
The university uses it predominantly for leader-ship retreats and for other special groups.
Each June, the public gets a peek inside during an open house.
