Island County restrictions on salmon farming questionedBy JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

Anticipating difficult nego-tiations with state regulators over their recent ban on net-pen salmon farming, the Island County commission-ers are putting high hopes on new legislation proposed in Olympia.

If it becomes law, House Bill 1599 will empower cit-ies and counties to prohibit the siting of net-pen farms through long-range planning documents known as shore-line master programs.

The new law would effec-tively end a long-standing power struggle between the state Department of Ecology — the agency mandated with reviewing, overseeing and enforcing tenets of the Shoreline Management Act — and local-government officials want more say over what activities are allowed in their areas.

“We should be able to have the ability to control our own waters,” Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said.

In December, the commis-sioners wrapped up years of work by approving an update to its shoreline master pro-gram. The document will guide development on and along the waterfront for the next 20 years.

Among many controver-sial topics discussed, net-pen

salmon farming was one of the only issues that gar-nered strong opinions but little argument. Public testi-mony was overwhelmingly in favor of prohibiting net-pen salmon farming from being allowed anywhere in Island County.

The board’s subsequent decision to prohibit pens of non-native fish altogether put it in league with Jefferson County, which has been battling for years with the Department of Ecology over its ban on net-pen farming.

State Rep. Kevin Van De Wege, D-Sequim, is one of HB 1599’s primary spon-sors and Jefferson County Commissioner Phil Johnson has been a key figure behind the proposed legislation.

“The bottom line is they are deleterious to the envi-ronment,” Johnson said.

State Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, is not one of the bill’s sponsors, but said Friday that she could throw her support behind the bill in its current form.

“As it stands now, I think it’s a good bill, but I want to see it when it comes out of committee,” Smith said.

“Counties should have the ability make their own deci-sion,” she said.

The Island County com-missioners are doing what they can to ensure the bill’s passage, having unanimous-

A river otter walks across a dock at the Oak Harbor Marina last Thursday. Officials at the marina are looking at a contract to deal with the otters and birds which leave behind droppings.

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A river otter, sleek and graceful, scam-pered across a dock at the Oak Harbor Marina on a Thursday afternoon before gliding back into the water.

A half-dozen of the intelligent, play-ful creatures make the marina home. Unfortunately, the otters’ bathroom habits put them on a list of four animals marina management wants to remove from the area.

“It hasn’t been a problem for me, but the otters make a mess for some people,” said Richard Littke, one of the few boat owners to visit the marina on the quiet day. “They seem to like the covered areas.”

Chris Sublet, the Oak Harbor har-bormaster, said he is hoping to contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services for help dealing with the otters, as well as seagulls, pigeons

and turnstones.The problem, he said, is the poop.The marina workers hose off the

docks six days a week to remove the unsightly splotches of white, brown and green. It’s a lot of man-hours and a lot of water, he said.

“The otters’ messes are the worst,” he said. “They are as big as dog poop. Really stinky, like rotten fish.”

Sublet said creatures cause peren-nial problems at the marinas; they’ve dealt with them in different ways over the years, but they keep returning. As many as 75 seagulls congregate at F dock at night, leaving behind a thick mess in the morning.

The pigeons roost in the covered moorage and create similar piles, he said.

The marina workers, however, are limited in what they can do because otters, seagulls and turnstones are fed-

erally protected species.Sublet said the workers set up sprin-

klers at the edge of the docks to try to annoy the seagulls, but with limited success.

Which is where the USDA Wildlife Services come in.

Sublet said the agency has authority to trap and remove the otters, haze the seagulls and turnstones and shoot the pigeons, which aren’t protected by law.

The purpose of hazing, Sublet said, is to annoy the birds so they’ll go else-where. It could be as simple as yelling and clapping, he said, to stringing up dead seagulls.

“They don’t like to see their own kind dead,” he said.

The plan, Sublet said, is to enter into a one-year contract with the agency for $6,000. He said that will buy an average of four hours a week of expert animal displacement.

By JUSTIN BURNETTStaff reporter

A $6.3-million, low-income housing project planned for Freeland may be derailed because of a permitting issue.

Island County Housing Authority officials confirmed this week that the costs of septic system requirements may exceed initial expecta-tions and the increase in costs may torpedo the proj-ect.

“We can’t go over this bud-get, we just can’t,” said Teri Anania, executive director for the Housing Authority.

The organization is not a department of county government, but a state special-purpose district that provides affordable housing to low-income and elderly residents.

It currently owns and manages 110 public hous-ing units on properties in Oak Harbor, Coupeville and Langley.

Its newest project, Sunny Side Village, is planned on a nearly 9-acre lot off Fish Road, between Highway 525 and Scenic Avenue. Designs call for the construction of 26 units in four separate two-level buildings.

They are expected to pro-vide housing for people who make between 30 percent and 60 percent of the area median income for Island County — about $67,500. Rents will range from $587 to $986, depending on income.

So far, the agency has spent nearly $1 million on the project, which has been in the works since 2008. It recently hit a major hiccup when county regulators real-ized that the effluent pro-duced by the large devel-opment may have adverse impacts on a nearby well.

Nitrate levels in the water source are already elevated. The plan to treat effluent

Low-income housing project faces permitting issue

using a series of separate septic systems won’t be enough to keep the levels from going over the brink, said Keith Higman, direc-tor of Island County Public Health.

As a result, the Housing Authority is going to have to rethink its septic plans.

“They have to mitigate the nitrate loading,” Higman said.

There aren’t a lot of options. There’s a good chance that a water treat-ment plant will have to be constructed. The cost impact is unclear, but officials agree it will likely push the project over budget.

Anania is hopeful an alter-native can be found. If one isn’t, and a water treatment plant is required, that would put permitting under the pur-view of the state Department of Health, which opens the door for another problem.

The standards to be met are the same, no matter which agency is doing the permitting. Anania said a state review may result in delay and ultimately the loss of $2.5 million in funding from the Washington State Housing Trust Fund.

The Department of Commerce, the agency that manages the fund, has already given the housing authority an extension once for not being shovel-ready. Anania said she doubts another would be granted.

Funding for the proj-ect comes from a range of sources, including the trust fund.

Of the nearly $1 million already spent, $575,000 was from two county pots: one for low-income housing and the other for homelessness.

The remaining $416,000 came from Housing Authority coffers.

Adding to the unexpected permitting headache, the project is now under fire from residents who are concerned about a range of issues, not the least of which relate to the potential impacts on water quality.

Residents who live near the proposed development met with housing author-ity officials recently to learn

more about the project but many said they are dis-satisfied with the answers they received and brought their case before the Island County Commissioners on Monday.

Many complained that the surrounding roads aren’t up to the task of supporting such a large development. They lack sidewalks and are so narrow is some placed that there is barely enough room for two cars.

“There’s some real prob-lems there,” Denise Lorenz said.

Others believe not enough was done to let the com-munity know the project was being proposed. The two-week public comment period last year, which is required by law, passed by unbeknownst to most in the neighborhood.

Some claimed the site is currently home to bald eagles, others questioned the high cost of the proj-ect, and still more wondered whether the location is a good fit for a low-income demographic.

“I think the site is just com-pletely inappropriate for the functions being proposed,” said Lew Randall, president of the Freeland Advocates for Informed Responsible Solutions.

According to Anania, a

traffic study has been per-formed and a concurrency certificate issued. She also addressed the total price tag, saying “soft costs” for gov-ernment projects can be con-siderably more pricey than those in the private sector.

Soft costs are expenses not associated with con-struction, such as architec-tural, engineering and legal fees. They can also include the cost of pursuing grants or funding studies necessary for permitting.

Anania said many of those who voiced concerns had “valid points” and that it’s not the organization’s inten-tion to propose an unsafe or environmentally irrespon-sible project.

“We’re not in the business of being bad neighbors,” she said.

The Housing Authority will do what it can to address those issues, but community concern alone won’t stop the project from moving for-ward, she said. The same cannot be said about the sep-tic issues, however.

While Anania said she is hopeful that a solution can be found, the future of Sunny View Village is entire-ly dependent on getting a permitted septic system.

“If we don’t get the per-mits, obviously, we’re dead in the water,” Anania said.

A mechanism built by the Central Whidbey Lions Club to allow for fast scene changes at the Whidbey Playhouse is gain-ing far-reaching attention.

Jim Rich led a Lions Club project that cre-ated a roll-drop for the Christmas production of “Fruitcakes” at the Whidbey Playhouse in Oak Harbor.

An article by Rich about the design of his motorized device was approved and appears in the February issue of Sightlines, the pub-lication for United States Institute of Theatre Technology (USITT) members.

“It was like submitting a scientific jour-nal,” said Rich, 72, who lives in Coupeville.

Rich’s device is more light-weight and much less expensive than roll-drops used in professional theater systems. The cost for

the 20-foot mechanism is about $550 com-pared to several thousand dollars for ones used in professional theaters.

The driving force behind the project’s design was to allow for a scene change within 15 seconds.

“We did better than that,” he said. “We did it in 12.”

Rich’s article includes a “how-to technical bulletin” that shows all the details of how to make the roll-drop.

He said he hopes the Lions Club project will be useful for other community theaters or high schools interested in building their own device at an affordable price.

“It was just an idea I thought would be useful to share,” said Rich, who has an engineering background. “I don’t have any desire to try and build some or make any money.”

We as humans spend much of our lives collect-ing stuff, only to regret it when we have to pack it

onto a truck and move it from one place to another.

And when it takes a full weekend, two truckloads totaling 30 feet long and driv-ing four times and a little more than 600 miles back and forth, it hits home that one can have too much stuff.

This weekend my son Liam and I moved for the fifth time in just over 13 years.

The first move was in 1999 from our cute little 910 square foot rambler with a view of Penn Cove to a bigger, newer place on a friendly cul de sac in Yelm. We were there for the next eight years.

Then, we moved to an even bigger, nicer house we built just five miles down the road.

Of course, bigger houses require more stuff. With each and every move, we added more furniture, more dishes, more beds, more bedding, more pictures — more stuff.

During a move things go smoothly — that is until you reach the garage, the place where jam packed storage bins go to be forgotten.

Suddenly that “perfectly good” bicycle that just needs a few minor repairs doesn’t seem worth hanging on to. In fact, you start to question why it’s been sitting in the garage deteriorat-ing for years.

While standing in the middle of that garage, you ask your-self a lot of questions, and there’s a lot of second guessing yourself.

Paperwork that was extremely important just a few years ago isn’t quite as important, but we hang on to it because we’re under the delusion that it may become important again.

Cool projects waiting to be started look like, well, just proj-ects.

Goodwill and other thrift stores become a good resource when it dawns on you that not everything is going to fit into a 20-foot moving truck.

Liam is heading to college in the fall, and it’s time to kick things into reverse and downsize and simplify.

I’ve learned how to let go of things that once seemed unre-leasable.

I’m determined to get my entire household into a 17-foot truck next time.

Letters to the editorRecycling

Private�sector�was�once�meaningfulEditor.

Your editorial on recycling is beyond reproach. It is so well thought out that words cannot describe it.

If I understand your stance correctly it goes something like this — If a company attached at the hip to the government starts a new additional program to the one we currently pay for and has start-up cost we — the consumer — must pay at all cost.

Now you have reached deep into the dark realm of deep thinking and sug-gest that if someone is dis-satisfied with the “new” no glass recycling program then just stop your garbage from being collected and the problem is solved.

How does the collection of garbage which is what is done now suddenly become attached to recycling and a take it or leave it position?

If Island Disposal wants to start a “new” no-glass recy-cling and take their chances like the — watch out here it comes — ‘private sector’ then go for it. You do remem-ber the old days when the words ‘private sector’ was a meaningful word and not the current after thought?

Low�recycling�rate�is�disgracefulEditor,

Thank you for supporting recycling. My husband and I do not use trash pickup because we only generate about one or two bags of trash a month. We take everything else to be recy-cled and we compost and

mulch. It’s easy.I learned this in California

prior to moving here. I was a county budget analyst and solid waste was one of my budget units. It was an enter-prise fund; that means that user fees covered costs and not county property taxes.

Mandatory recycling, including yard waste, start-ed 30 years ago.

There, currently, 70 per-cent of the waste stream is recycled. If residents want to save money, they can recy-cle and haul their own trash. Island County residents need to get with it.

A 34 percent recycle rate is disgraceful.

Linda ThomCoupeville

Editor�wrong�about�recyclingEditor,

Ms. Hansen you’re dead

wrong. Just because Island Country doesn’t have a pro-gram is not a valid reason to start one.

Are we trying to keep up with the Jones’? If your staff ever did some actual inves-tigating they could find out if Waste Connections is cor-rect in their assessment of the program.

“They need some guaran-tee they are going to get their money back.” Since when am I as a taxpayer respon-sible for a private company being profitable? And really, not accepting glass? So it’s sort of a recycling program, but not quite?

I am glad the commission-ers are ending this charade. Yes you are correct, obvious-ly, (another fine example of editing/reporting) that we are free to stop the service and haul ourselves, which is what I did for years.

I just started garbage ser-vice when this mandatory

Moving helps one reflect on ‘the stuff’ acquired in a lifetime

shake-down was announced and promptly communicat-ed to Island Disposal that I would be stopping once the program went into effect. Again I applaud the commis-sioners in their decision.

Ron HewittOak Harbor

Need�to�find�new�recycling�optionseditor,

Megan Hansen, in her edi-torial of Feb. 16, stated that “Residents want cubside recy-cling.” What she should have said is that residents want voluntary curbside recycling, not mandatory curbside recy-cling, which is nothing more than a tax.

Why should island resi-dents have to haul their own garbage to the transfer sta-tion just to avoid a tax?

When curbside recycling for the entire island came up five years ago, the county spent a few weeks conduct-ing an unofficial poll. Of the respondents, 29 percent were OK with mandatory recy-cling, but 71 percent were opposed.

When the Island County Solid Waste and Moderate Risk Waste Management Plan was adopted on Jan. 28, 2008, in Section 7.4.2 Customer Preferences it states:

“Customers typically favor voluntary rather than man-datory collection service because they prefer choice.

LettersCONTINUED FROM A6

Mandatory collection in Whatcom County was dis-continued soon after it was established due to customer complaints.”

Commissioner Kelly Emerson commented in a commissioners’ meeting in January that her constitu-ents were running about 70 percent against mandatory curbside recycling. After all of these years the percent-ages haven’t changed. Approximately 70 percent of island residents that are served by Island Disposal do not want mandatory curbside recycling.

It’s just that the commis-sioners have not been listen-ing. Finally, we have two com-missioners, Kelly Emerson and Jill Johnson who are lis-tening to their constituents and they should be com-mended for stopping manda-tory curbside recycling dead in its tracks.

If Island Disposal cannot make voluntary curbside recycling work, then find another company.

I’m sorry I didn’t get to the Oak Harbor City Council meeting to see all that strut-ting and posing and big talk, all those gun owners try-ing to convince themselves they’re actually supporting a noble cause. It must have been quite a sight.

We’ll never know how many smart people will now want to keep their kids out of parks rather than expose them to certifiable fanatics.

It may be dreary outside, but it will be bright and colorful inside on Monday, March 4 and Tuesday, March 5, when A.J. Florals will sell a dazzling array of orchids to benefit Whidbey General Hospital.

Many varieties will be available. Most are easy to care for and will bloom for months. They’re also inexpensive – from $15 to $40.

Each purchase includes written instruc-tions on how to best care for the orchid with tips on how to keep them blooming.

A portion of profits supports the Whidbey General Hospital Auxiliary.

The auxiliary raises money through the hospital gift shop and ongoing events to help purchase items to benefit patient care at Whidbey General.

In 2012, these items included a cordless telemetry unit for the Whidbey Family Birthplace, 17 flat-screen digital televisions for patient care areas and a cardiac reha-bilitation treadmill for the Life Center for Essential Wellness.

Erosion of the bluff on Northeast Front Street in Coupeville appears to have slowed over the past week, but the town council has decided to declare the situa-tion an emergency.

The declaration was approved by unanimous vote at the council’s regular meet-ing Feb. 12 and was some-thing of a housekeeping mea-sure as it authorized Mayor Nancy Conard’s earlier steps to address the situation.

It also empowers Conard to sign other contracts concern-ing the issue as the need may arise without having to first get council approval.

Earlier this month, the sec-tion of bluff began to rapidly erode and threaten a gravel sidewalk and the road.

Conard acted indepen-dently by hiring a geotechni-

cal engineering company to evaluation the situation, deter-mine why the erosion was occurring and come up with possible solutions.

The firm, Kirkland-based Associated Earth Sciences, Inc., was contracted for a sum of $6,760. A surveyor also was hired for $5,800.

According to town engi-

neer Greg Cane, high tides have continued to eat away at the bluff. The review by the geotechnical firm settled fears that the erosion would accel-erate beyond control.

“He kinda put our minds at ease. He said, ‘You’ve got time,’” Cane said.

One possible fix would be to firm up the bluff using the earth retention tech-nique known as Soldier Piles. Basically, “H” piles are pounded into the ground ver-tically and boards are placed between the two trees of each pile.

But Cane said town officials won’t decide what to do until the geotechnical firm releases a more detailed analysis later this month.

Coupeville bluff erosion declared an emergency By Jim Larsen

A $1 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency finally came through for the Port of South Whidbey, but a mystery remains about how it will all be spent.

There’s enough in the FEMA grant to purchase a fire boat for South Whidbey Fire/EMS, to be moored at the port’s remodeled Langley Marina when that project is finished. But there’s also enough for an new boat for the Island County Sheriff’s Office, which was part of the origi-nal funding request.

Sheriff Mark Brown was not present at the Feb. 12 monthly port meeting, the first since the FEMA grant was confirmed last week by U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen. But the commissioners expect him to appear at the March meeting for an update.

Brown in recent months has been fighting to keep a full stuff of deputies and maintain 24-hour coverage of South Whidbey, North Whidbey and Camano Island. Budget cuts and deputies nearing retirement leave him with a manpower shortage, so a new boat hasn’t topped his list of priorities.

“We could get a new boat in the marina,” Brown acknowledged, but the grant comes with the stipulation of a 25 percent local match. As originally proposed, the patrol boat would cost $140,000.

“I have two boats. I’d have to trade them in to get the 25 percent match,” Brown said. One boat sits on a trailer in Coupeville, and another at the county facility on Camano Island. “Certainly it’s not in the budget.”

However, Brown said a fast new boat at the Langley Marina could cover Whidbey and Camano islands.

The Sheriff Office’s lim-ited boat patrol schedule is funded by a grant from the state Marine Safety Program, which also covers overtime for deputies on board.

“We may need them to fill the road,” Brown added, alluding to his deputy short-age. He’s been pushing for a sales-tax increase to improve law-and-justice funding.

“Frankly, having two boats as a match is our only funding,” he said.

South Whidbey Fire/EMS is anxious to receive its boat, Chief Rusty Palmer told the port commission-ers.

“We have the money to fully fund it, knowing it’s a

reimbursement grant,” he said. “We are ready to go out for bid.”

In the several years since the FEMA grant was first sought, the fire district has been working on designing its boat and the estimated cost has risen from $325,000 to $425,000.

Palmer said it has been designed to pump 750 gal-lons of water per minute on burning boats or even shore-line homes. The fire district has mapped out hundreds of shoreline homes that cannot be reached by fire truck due to bad access roads, he said. In some cases, waterfront homes can be reached only by walking or boat.

Palmer said a call for bids were sent out Friday with a hoped-for completion date of Dec. 6 for the new boat. That’s about a month before the FEMA grant has to be spent.

It’s still unclear if all the FEMA money can be spent. The two boats don’t add up to $1 million.

Even the sheriff’s boat is iffy at this point.

“The sheriff’s depart-ment will attend the March meeting,” Angie Mozer, finance director, told the commissioners.

“It’s not sure they’re pre-pared to fund it.”

FEMA money available but sheriff ’s boat undecided

Donald D. Milliken

October 21, 1918 ~ February 12, 2013

Don was born in Crowley, La. to James and Grace Milliken. He was preceded in death by his parents, both older brothers, Ralph and Paul, and by his loving wife of almost 62 years, Lillian (nee Mueller). He was a Presbyterian and a Free Mason.

Donald is survived by his three children — Mary Jo Carlsen (John Wheeler), Jean Silk and Paul (Marie-Paule) - and seven grand-children.

Donald was raised in southern California and after his six years in the Army Air Force and U.S. Air Force (during and after WWII), lived in Great Falls, Montana and Seattle and on Whidbey Island, Washington.

His specialty in the ser-vice was ILS (Instrument Landing System). His last years in the service were spent as S-3 (NCOIC of Plans and Training and Troop I&E) of the 1962nd AACS Squadron as a S/Sgt. Most of his civilian employment was in the fields of insurance and mortgage banking.

He graduated from Chaffey Junior College, in Ontario, Calif. and attended the University of Idaho and the College of Great Falls.

Donald’s wife, Lillian, passed away after more than 25 years of Alzheimer’s Disease. As a result, Don spent almost every day of his last years on the comput-er, searching the Internet for articles, studies and reports on Alzheimer’s, Dementia and caregiving. Those that he downloaded, he dissemi-nated to many interested per-sons. That led to his being honored by the Alzheimer Society of Washington. He also mentored regularly at support groups.

Don and Lillian especially enjoyed their trips and tours in Europe.

Don will be missed and will be long-remembered for his puns and humor.

At his request, there will be no funeral service, as he won’t be there.

A memorial service/cel-ebration of Don’s life will be held on Sunday, April 21, 3:00 p.m., at the Bayview Senior Center in Langley.

For Oak Harbor High School senior Joshua Crebbin, it was almost a storybook ending.

Crebbin was ranked seventh entering the 3A state wrestling tournament, then knocked off the first- and third-ranked 160-pound wrestlers on the way to finishing second last weekend at the Tacoma Dome.

Crebbin lost 4-2 to Meadowdale’s fourth-ranked Morgan Smith in the championship bout.

Oak Harbor finished 10th in the team standings, best among Wesco schools, with 57 points. University took the title with 142.5.

Three other Wildcats placed in the meet. Courtney Shavers finished fourth in the 170-pound class, and Cody Fakkema and Jahleel Vester placed seventh and eighth at 132.

Crebbin, who is the son of Oak

Harbor coach Mike Crebbin, reached the semifinals by winning two matches Friday, including a 13-7 victory over top-ranked Cayle Williams of Bonney Lake. In the semis, Crebbin pinned third-ranked Bryson Pierce of North Central, set-ting up the match with Smith.

Mike Crebbin said, “Josh wres-tled really well; he surprised me as a coach. You always have confidence in your kid, have hope for your kid and believe in your kid, but this was not expected.”

Josh Crebbin said he was both disappointed and excited about his second-place finish. He said ever since he was a first-grader rolling around on the mats at his father’s practices he dreamed about win-ning a state title.

Ninth-ranked Shavers reached the semifinals with upset wins over the eighth- and fifth-ranked wres-tlers. In the semis he was pinned (1:46) by second-ranked Austin

Stannard of University. He then slipped by seventh-ranked Max Ramos of Sunnyside 12-11 before losing by a fall (:51) to top-ranked Nick Karis of Decatur in the match for third and fourth.

Coach Crebbins said of Shavers, “No one saw this one coming. It was awesome, inspiring.”

Fifth-ranked Fakkema and eighth-ranked Vester each won two of three matches on Friday, then lost in their first bouts Saturday, forcing them to square off in the match for seventh and eighth. Fakkema, who also defeated Vester for the regional title, won the match 5-1.

Jeremy Vester (120), Jacob Fitzgerald (138), Jackson Constant (285) and Aimee Oliver (girls 155) each won one of three matches.

Christian Bertram (106), Mark Johnston (138) and Zaiha Sams (girls 118) each lost both of their bouts.

The Oak Harbor High School bowling team won its third consecutive state title -- and made history along the way -- at the 48th Annual Washington State Bowling Proprietors’ Association State High School Varsity Bowling Championships at Acme Bowl in Tukwila Saturday and Sunday.

Oak Harbor became the first team in state history to capture three straight titles.

The first-place trophy wasn’t the only honor for Oak Harbor. Head coach Jason Youngsman was inducted into the WSBPA Coaches Hall of Fame, Christian Osorio earned first-team, all-state honors with a 209 aver-age and Brendan McCardle was named to the second

was wrapping up the Division I title, Oak Harbor No. 2 fin-

ished second in Division II.Oak Harbor No. 1 held

a slim half-point lead, 22.5-22, over Shadle Park after Saturday’s action then blew away the eight-team field Sunday.

The Wildcats finished with 51.5 points and 9,959 pins, easily outdistancing second-place Moses Lake (38.5, 9,679) and third-place Shadle Park (38, 9,559).

Curtis nipped Oak Harbor 44.5-44 for the Division II crown although Oak Harbor downed more pins, 8,231-8,196. The Wildcats, coached by Carlton Johnson Sr., were tied with Bellarmine Prep at 24 after Saturday’s action. Bellarmine finished third at 41 (8,121).

Logan Faught (184 aver-age) was a first-team, all-state Division II selection and Alex Rutter (171) second team.

Other Oak Harbor No. 1 team members are Jerin

Applegarth, Tyler Rollyson, Carlton Johnson Jr. and Bernard Deguzman.

Also on Oak Harbor No. 2 are Powell Tarrant, Ryan Gilman, Jay Angeles, Cody Vogelman and Taylor Osorio.

The state competition fea-tured four divisions, 28 five-person teams and 50 indi-vidual bowlers.

The Washington event is the second longest consecu-tive state championship bowl-ing tournament in the United States. Only New York is longer.

With the win last week-end, Oak Harbor has now won five state titles. The Wildcats also won in 1991 (when Youngsman rolled for the Wildcats and the team was coached by his father and current assistant coach John Youngsman) and once in the 1970s.

Unable to escape Glacier Peak’s physical and aggressive defense, the Oak Harbor High School boys basketball team was eliminated from postseason play with a 58-36 loss to the Grizzlies in the District 1 3A tournament at Jackson High

School Saturday.With the win, Glacier Peak fin-

ished third in the district and earned the final berth into the regional tournament. Stanwood defeated Mountlake Terrace 47-43 to grab the district crown and earn the top seed into the regional.

GP’s dominate defense limited Oak Harbor to single digit scoring

in each of the first three quarters. It started well for Oak Harbor as

the Wildcats scored on a monster dunk by Chris Hailer in the first quarter. After Dayne Herron stole a Grizzly pass, he tossed to JoJo Webster, who led the fastbreak and finished it with a lob to Hailer for the flush. GP coach Brian Hunter quickly called timeout to stop the

early Oak Harbor momentum. After the break, the Grizzlies ramped up their defense, creating numerous Wildcat turnovers and finishing the first quarter on a 14-3 run to go ahead 17-8.

Oak Harbor’s defense had its moment in the second quarter when it held the Grizzlies to four points, allowing the Wildcats to stay

within striking distance at the half, trailing 21-14.

Drew Washington swished a three to start the second half, and the Wildcats were down only four, 21-17. The teams traded baskets, then Glacier Peak took off, going on an 18-1 run.

By NATHAN WHALENStaff reporter

A group of student chefs hope to continue a tasty trend — cook-ing meals delicious

enough to garner national attention. Culinary arts students at Oak

Harbor High School competed in the national ProStart Invitational, which is organized by the National Restaurant Association, for six of the past seven years.

Student chefs are now fine-tuning their latest three-course in preparation for a fundraiser 5:30 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 24 in the Oak Harbor High School staff lounge.

The students are cooking seared Ahi salad Niçoise with watercress sauce; rabbit three ways, molé sauce, polenta and poached spiced pears; passion fruit panna cotta, white chocolate mousse, almond tuile and passion fruit fettucini.

The culinary arts program also operates Wildcat Catering. The Sunday evening fundraiser is cost-ing folks $50 per person.

Chef Mary Arthur, instructor for Wildcat Catering, said the students will get proficient with their menu because they will cook it 70 to 80 times during the fundraiser.

The event helps pay for supplies and transportation to the various contests in which the team will compete during the coming weeks.

The state competition is March 1-2 at Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood.

During a recent practice session, Scott Fraser, owner of Frasers Gourmet Hideaway and longtime volunteer for the culinary arts team, talked to the five-member team about the importance of working together.

“The whole idea is to work as a team,” Fraser told the students before they started cooking.

The team is comprised of four cooks and one alternate. They are senior Rachael Balasa, who is the team captain, sophomore Sara Jackson, junior Haley Garden, junior Joanna Leete and Cahle William, who is the alternate.

Another group of students are competing in restaurant design, where they designed a concept and a business plan.

Oak Harbor’s culinary arts team is a powerhouse. The students won the state competition last year and took fifth-place at nationals.

In addition to the ProStart competition, the students are also participating in a different set of competitions organized by SkillsUSA.

The competition offered by the vocational organization offers individual competitions in baking, culinary arts and food and bever-age service.

Arthur said SkillsUSA competi-tions are attractive for students who don’t want to be part of a team. The contests require students to cook the same meal within a set amount of time.

The culinary arts program offers exposure into cooking and aspects of the restaurant and catering industry. The culi-nary arts class, which operates Wildcat Catering, is a year-round class comprised of 23 students. Introductory “Food for Today” classes chase 150 students.

Some of the students use the Oak Harbor High School’s culi-nary arts as a stepping stone to secondary culinary programs throughout the country.

Whidbey

By NATHAN WHALENStaff reporter

Whidbey Island resident Teresa Ellis left home Monday morning to help people on the East Coast recover from Hurricane Sandy.

As a volunteer for the Red Cross, Ellis traveled to Princeton, N.J. where she will spend several weeks helping people relocate and find housing.

Ellis, who was attending last Sunday’s logo unveiling for the Penn Cove Water Festival, said there are thou-sands of people who need relocating and she will help some of those people find the right resources for help to bring some normalcy back into their lives.

“They have a hard time trying to figure out how to move forward,” Ellis said, adding that the Red Cross is working with other agencies for help.

Ellis’s trip comes just after a blizzard dumped feet of snow through the northeastern parts of the United States. Ellis said that about a foot of snow dropped where she is serving and other parts, such as New England, fared worse during the recent storm.

She has been volunteering with the Red Cross for 23 years. During that time, she has helped man shel-ters after Hurricane Katrina. She has helped recovery efforts after disasters in Indiana, Florida, Maine and New York. Locally, she volunteered for the Red Cross after the floods in 2007 near Centralia. Ellis volunteers through the Red Cross’s Snohomish County chapter.

For more information, or to make a donation, go to www.redcross.org.

A seventh-place finish in the 200-yard medley relay was the top per-formance for the Oak Harbor High School swim team at the state 3A championship meet at the King Country Aquatic Center in Federal Way Friday and Saturday.

Cedric Cabigting, Josh Jepsen, Caley Powers and Kevin Levy teamed up to swim the medley relay in 1:41.46.

Jepsen was the only Wildcat to reach the finals in an individual event, placing eighth in the 100 breaststroke in 1:00.62. He was 12th in last year’s state meet.

Jepsen, Jarik Bainco, Powers and Levy placed 14th in the 200 free relay in 1:31.82 but were disqualified in the 400 free relay finals.

In Friday’s preliminar-ies, Powers was 17th in the 100 butterfly (55.51), Levy 24th in the 50 free (22.5) and Bainco 22nd in the 100 breaststroke (1:04.98).

In 2012, Powers was 23rd in the butterfly and Levy 27th in the 50.

Chris Hailer slams home a two-handed jam against Glacier Peak in Saturday’s district playoff game.

After shooting only 36 percent the first half, GP heated up in the second (shooting 54 percent) to run away with the win with 20 third-quarter points and a 41-23 lead.

Any dream of a miracle comeback in the fourth was quickly erased when GP started the final period on an 11-3 run to gain its big-gest lead, 52-26. The Grizzlies kept their man-to-man press on deep into the fourth quarter and did not empty their bench until just over two minutes remaining.

The Grizzly defense held Oak Harbor to 31 percent shooting (14-for-45). The Wildcats compounded the problem by making only six of 11 free throws (54.5 percent).

Glacier Peak’s rebounding was as dominate as its defense, beating Oak Harbor 40-25 on the boards.

It was a tough final game for senior starters Webster, Herron and Hailer. Webster scored only four points, Hailer two and Herron one. Hailer did collect eight rebounds and Herron six. Washington scored 16 points, Dyllan Harris seven and Gabe Groenig six.

Zach Pedersen, Glacier Peak’s 6-6 post, scored 20 points and snared 14 rebounds. Ramsey Rosales fired 16 threes, hitting five and finishing with 15 points.

Oak Harbor coach Mike Washington praised the Glacier Peak defense and said, “We just couldn’t buy a bucket; we just couldn’t do anything.”

The Wildcats finished the year with a 13-11 record, and Glacier Peak upped its mark to 19-5.

“We’re asserting our local control over our planning process,” she said.

David Pater, a shoreline planner with the Department of Ecology and the official reviewing the county’s plan, said the agency’s position is that net-pen farming can’t be banned outright because it’s an allowed water-dependent use.

Limiting activities on the water to those that can’t take place anywhere else is one of the cornerstones of the Shoreline Management Act, he said.

The Department of Ecology has the tricky job of managing that basic tenet with other pillars of the act, such as environmental pro-tection and access to the water.

“We’re trying to manage that balance and that’s the challenge with these SMPs,” Pater said.

The department has com-municated several concerns to county officials about restrictions in the update; the language concerning net-pen farming is one of them.

Pater said he is hopeful the issues can be worked through cooperatively, but acknowledged that the pro-posed legislation could alter the discussion significantly if passed.

“This bill could change a lot of things,” he said.

Smith said Friday morning that she would be surprised if the bill doesn’t make it out of committee.

Should the bill die, Price Johnson said she would be “patient but persistent” and continue lobbying for the pro-hibition of net-pen farming in Island County.

The public was “loud and clear” in its opposition to their presence anywhere around Whidbey or Camano Islands, she said.

“That’s significant to me,” she said.

It may be dreary outside, but it will be bright and colorful inside on March 4 and 5, when A.J. Florals will sell a dazzling array of orchids to benefit Whidbey General Hospital.

Many varieties will be available. Most are easy to care for and will bloom for months. They’re also inexpensive — from $15 to $40. Each purchase includes writ-ten instructions on how to best care for the orchid with tips on how to keep them blooming.

A portion of profits supports the Whidbey General Hospital Auxiliary.

The auxiliary raises money through the hospital gift shop and ongoing events to help purchase items to benefit patient care at Whidbey General.

In 2012, these items included a cordless telemetry unit for the Whidbey Family Birthplace, 17 flat screen digital televisions for patient care areas and a cardiac rehabilita-tion treadmill for the Life Center for Essential Wellness.

February elections may be the South Whidbey School District’s go-to vote.

Since 2000, every special election held in February by the school district has passed. That includes Tuesday’s approval of two school levies, a total that was padded with an added count Thursday.

Each levy remained at a supermajority of more than 60 percent, though levies only require a simple major-ity of 50 percent plus 1 vote.

The $3.9 million mainte-nance and operations levy added 288 yeas against 105 “no” votes. Given the M&O levy was a renewal and did not request a tax increase, its major support was an easier approval for voters.

Adding $1 million to the capital/technology levy, mostly for repairs and deferred maintenance, pre-sented a different challenge to the district and voters.

But taxpayers approved it nonetheless, and with 62 percent approval. Even after the revised count, voter approval remained at 62 per-cent, with an additional 262 ballots for and 153 against the capital/technology levy.

South Whidbey has a long history of supporting its school levies. Even if recent events may show differently. The last time the school board sought money from the public was for a bond.

Voters resoundingly rejected the November 2010 measure, with 56.63 percent opposing it. Only 3,908 vot-ers supported the bond.

In the 2010 election, 9,010 voters cast their lots.

This year, 12,059 ballots were mailed to registered voters, and only 5,757 bal-lots were counted. Low voter turnout, which histori-cally occurs during special elections, has been a consis-tent factor for school levies. Since the turn of the millen-

nium, only a couple of elec-tions had returns higher than 50 percent. In 2000, 57 percent of registered voters on South Whidbey had their ballots counted. The other time was in 2004, when 50.76 percent of registered voters had ballots counted.

For the past two South Whidbey School District special elections, voter turn-out hovered around 6,200. The levy elections in 2008 was tied to the presiden-tial primary and saw an increase in participation of about 1,600 voters.

All three levies — mainte-nance and operations, capi-tal/technology and trans-portation — passed with 60 percent or more approval. Elections in 2010, seven months before the ill-fated bond measure, saw 3,908 voters approve the M&O levy and 3,799 approve the capital/tech levy.
