Town sells Navy development rights near OLF By Megan Hansen Co-Editor

The Navy paid the Town of Coupeville $800,000 last week in exchange for development rights to 54 acres of property near Whidbey Island Naval Air Station’s Outlying Field. The deal, facilitated through the Whidbey Camano Land

Trust, is one of three acquisitions completed with the Navy this year. The Navy now holds restrictive easements that halt further development of seven properties around Outlying Field Coupeville. Pat Powell, executive director for the Land Trust, said her

organization often works with other groups where there’s a property that meets the goals of all parties involved. In 2006 and 2011, two easements were acquired on properties in Smith Prairie along Parker Road. Earlier this year, the Land Trust helped facilitate the SEE PURCHASE, A22

Haggen acquires Safeway in OH

Friends aim to help man hurt in crash By JESSIE STENSLAND Co-Editor

A webpage is seeking donations to help an Oak Harbor man seriously injured in a Dec. 12 car accident. From his hospital bed Thursday, Jason Rice said that he suffered a broken pelvis, a broken left leg, a broken right wrist and fingers and broken ribs in the collision. “I’m in a lot of pain, but I guess that’s to be expected,” he said. His 16-year-old son, Devin Rice, was a passenger in the accident but only suffered bumps and bruises. Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said the collision occurred just after 9 p.m. on Southwest Heller Street at Southwest Eighth Street. Green said California resident Maxine Caldera, 28, was driving a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer on Heller Street. Caldera started driving off the roadway, overcorrected and crossed the centerline into the path of Rice’s 2002 Toyota Prius, according to Green. Damage to the vehicles is very extensive, Green said. Caldera was cited by police for crossing the centerline. Rice was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for treatment. SEE FRIENDS, A23

Oak Harbor’s Safeway store will become a Haggen store as part of a larger deal involving 168 grocery stores across eight states. The nearby Albertson’s store in Oak Harbor will likely remain unchanged, according to a spokesman for the company. Haggen announced Friday that all Safeway employees, including those in Oak Harbor, will have the opportunity to work for the Haggen store once the transition is complete. The purchase is subject to final approval by the Federal Trade Commission. Albertson’s, LLC is currently in the process of acquiring Safeway through a merger.

Sailor to carry on with Saturday fundraiser By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Despite the death of his father Friday, Navy Petty Officer Michael McCastle is moving forward with his fundraiser Saturday for the Wounded Warrior Project. “He’s the one who instilled that in me, to finish what I started, to never quit,” McCastle said. “This is what he would want me to do.” Starting at about 6 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 20, McCastle will attempt to flip a 250-pound tire over a distance of 13 miles to raise awareness and money for WWP. He originally planned to traverse a route through Oak Harbor but has decided to simplify the event. He will repeatedly span a paved 500foot stretch of road behind CrossFit on Pioneer Way, just south of Smith Park. To complete 13 miles, he must repeat the span 137 times. People can come throughout the day, show their support and donate to Wounded Warriors if they wish, McCastle said.

Chief Petty Officer Mike McCastle will flip a 250-pound tire 13 miles for Wounded Warrior Project in honor of his late father.

McCastle said his father, Raymond McCastle, was a “fighter” who has battled multiple illnesses during his lifetime, including cancer and Parkinson’s. Raymond McCastle recently took a turn for the worse, however, and died Friday morning. McCastle flew to see his father in Chicago Wednesday but was determined to return to Whidbey in time to complete his goal. “I feel like he’s given me some strength,” McCastle said. “I’ll finish it for him.” Because of his service in the Navy, and his father’s 10 years in the Air Force, Michael McCastle said he is passionate about supporting Wounded Warriors and other veterans in need. While the thrust of the event is to raise awareness, any money raised for Wounded Warriors will be donated in the name of a friend’s brother, Alvin Decker. McCastle said Decker, an Army veteran, “lost a battle with his personal demons.” “That’s what the program is set up

to treat,” McCastle said. After Saturday’s tire flip challenge is completed, McCastle said he will train exclusively for another Guinness pullup record attempt in the spring. He was hospitalized in July after his first attempt. He completed 3,202 pullups in a 24-hour period, 828 shy of the record. Nonetheless, he raised more than $10,000 for Wounded Warrior Project. McCastle said his father taught him that “there’s no point in being strong if you don’t use it to give back.” “I feel like this is the right thing to do,” McCastle said. “Everyone is destined to do something great. I feel like I’m destined to do this.” Wounded Warrior Project is a veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, services and events for wounded veterans following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Library partners with hospital for Jan. forum By MICHELLE BEAHM Staff reporter

There comes a point in every person’s life when certain decisions need to be made, according to retired doctor Marshall Goldberg. Goldberg says that endof-life care decisions are important for people to make, not just for themselves, but also for their loved ones. “The more we are prepared, I think, the easier it is, especially for loved ones whom we leave behind,” Goldberg said. At 1:30 p.m. Jan. 12 at Sno-Isle Librar y in Coupeville, there will be a forum to discuss these endof-life decisions, as a part of the library’s Issues That Matter series. The forum, called “End-of-Life Health Care: Honoring Choices,” will include Goldberg as the moderator and four health expert panelists to give a brief talk about aspects of these choices. Then the forum will open to questions from the audience. “I’m going to talk about ‘The Conversation,’” said palliative care advanced practice nurse Carla Jolley. “The Conversation,” she said, is when people talk with their loved ones about how they want their end-oflife care to go. Some choices include last will and testaments, power of attorney for health care

decisions and things like how long to keep someone on life support, should it come to that. “It’s a very uncomfortable topic for a lot of people,” Jolley said. “I’ll talk a little bit about what the spectrum of choices are.” Jolley said that having these conversations with loved ones makes for fewer “crises” down the road and less stress. “If people have had frank conversations, know what’s going on, (then) when that time comes, they end up not in crisis, ending up being able to meet those plans,” Jolley said. “For those people who are trying to help in the health care system, if we know what people want … then we can help them in making those choices.” Aside from the forum on Jan. 12, Sno-Isle Library will also be hosting a couple of classes, 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Jan. 13, about writing advanced care directives. Leslie Franzen, branch manager of the Coupeville library, said that people will have the opportunity to start working on writing theirs in those classes. “It’s something that’s important to many people,” Franzen said, “and being educated and informed about choices that are available, I think, is key to folks being able to make decisions that are important to them.” Jolley said having these

Lisa Toomey, left, and Carla Jolley, both nurses, have worked together for 20 years. Currently, they both work in palliative care at Whidbey General Hospital. Jolley will be one of the panelists at the End-of-Life Health Care: Honoring Choices panel. conversations ahead of time is proven to leave loved ones left behind with lower chances of depression or post-traumatic stress. She said loved ones finding themselves in a position to make end-of-life-care decisions for their family members can be very difficult. “All of a sudden, they’re being asked to make that decision,” Jolley said.

“That’s very hard. If we’ve done some of that work ahead of time, it makes things easier.” The forum will also include panelists Karen Griffith, a client support volunteer with Compassion & Choices of Washington; Grethe Cammermeyer, owner of Saratoga View Adult Home; and Cathleen Fanslow, author of “Using the Power of Hope to Cope

with Dying: The Four Stages of Hope.” The events at the library will be free, but preregistration is recommended for the classes, as there are only 30 seats available. “I think the topic, the title, ‘End-of-Life Health Care: Honoring Choices,’ is really the essence of it,” Goldberg said. “It’s making your choices known and making sure those choices

… are respected at a time when we’re most vulnerable. “I think that takes a lot of pressure, a lot of stress, off of the individual, as well as the family members that ultimately have to be involved.” n For more information or to register for the classes, visit www.sno-isle.org or call 360-678-4911.

Flu vaccines recommended for seniors OAK HARBOR ACTIVITIES By JANIS REID Staff reporter

Health experts are saying flu vaccinations can protect our aging population who might be at high risk for complications. While county health departments have largely gotten out of the business of giving out flu shots, they do recommend that people get flu shots to protect their health, according to Keith Higman, Island County public health director. Flu vaccines are available at most pharmacies as cheap as $15 and are covered by some insurances. The state health department buys all recommended childhood

vaccines, including flu vaccine, for kids through age 18. “Consumers should get them where they are most convenient,” Higman said. Higman said the county does purchase approximately 250 doses to administer to the aging population in assisted living facilities who may have mobility issues. In addition, the Department of Health is running statewide flu vaccine ads featuring Washington families and Secretary of Health John Wiesman to raise awareness about preventing the flu. “Fall and winter usher in holiday travel and gatherings that create an opportu-

A holiday verse for legislative leaders THE PETRI DISH

By Jerry Cornfield

‘Tis two days after session and all through the Dome, Not a member is working since they all have gone home; House members left first, making deals left and right, Then voting out bills near the middle of the night; Senators meanwhile had debates on the floor, Till the chance came Tuesday to bolt out the door; If Murray and Cantwell looked to be a bit dour, That’s because very soon they’ll be losing some power; They’re majority today, minority tomorrow, They’ve been in it before, still there’ll be some sorrow; Murray will lead Dems on a key committee, On which R’s may take aim at the N-L-R-B; She’ll seek to rewrite No Child Left Behind, But getting it done will be quite a grind; Minimum wage is looming on the horizon, If the panel gets there, brace for a collision; D’s want it higher and will say R’s don’t care Hey, doesn’t that sound like class warfare? Where Cantwell is moving should be lots of action, It’s the same energy panel where once sat Scoop Jackson. Murkowski is the leader and knows issues ‘round here But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to fear; Cantwell wants biofuels put ahead of oil, But the chair’s from Alaska, so expect a little roil; This panel has created some great national parks, Yet raising the subject may generate some sparks; Congress acted swiftly in its final few days, Hard to keep track in so many ways; Buried at the end of those last-minute bills Are what some fear are poisonous pills; Like easing protections in ‘ole Dodd-Frank Could leave the markets ripe for a prank; And allowing the parties to haul in more cash Could wind up inciting voter backlash; Yet tucked in the bills are bites of good news Regardless of one’s political views; Like the sales tax deduction, it’s safe once again, A rare cause that united our delegation; ‘Tis two days after session — yes Congress is done, They’ll look back without fondness ‘cuz it wasn’t fun; They’ll return in a few weeks, all full of good cheer,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Jet Noise

Training will impact people, animals Editor, Capt. Mike Nortier’s guest column highlights a Navy trying to reverse engineer the self-inflicted damage they achieved in their own public information meetings on the north end of the Olympic Peninsula. Let’s take a look at a few of the captain’s myth-statement of myths: n The reckless claim that the transmitters are not dangerous is thoroughly refuted online at http://www.truth-out. org/news/item/28009-documents-shownavy-s-electromagnetic-warfare-trainingwould-harm-humans-and-wildlife n The claim that a 10 percent increase in the number of Growlers is nothing much at all is kind of silly. When the 15 new Growlers, a $100 million/jet or $1.4 billion cash cow to Boeing, were announced, the Navy seemed to think that was a significant number and that more were sure to follow. n The captain authoritatively states that “it is extremely unlikely that the

training … will adversely affect people, animals or the environment,” which seems rather imaginative given that is hardly his area of expertise, and given the absence of any credible studies to support that claim and given an abundance of credible information, as in the website above, that indicates otherwise. The objective of all military expenditures and training certainly once was “to protect and save American lives,” but, unfortunately, that noble mission has been tainted by lack of necessary oversight, like a once-good kid led astray as a spoiled teen with too much freedom at the hands of apathetic parents. The industrial military complex now controls the military, and the economic engine for that is the pork barrel that now has 60 percent of our taxes going to support the military. Yes, Capt. Nortier, we all deserve “the very best equipment … this country can provide,” but how much of it and where that equipment is tested should be a thoughtful and deliberative process, not a rubber stamp in the hands of a congressperson stamping home the military bacon for their district. Robert Wilbur Coupeville

Captain’s opinion ‘manipulates facts’ Editor, Let’s be clear. The Navy wants to spread its Growler noise-print all over the Olympic Peninsula’s National Park, the surrounding national forest and adjacent communities. The Navy plans to take and periodically close large swathes of the Olympic National Forest, along with airspace over it and the Olympic National Park, for its Northwest Electromagnetic Radiation Warfare training program. It already does this training on four bases in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Nevada but now says it needs the Olympic Peninsula because it wants all Growlers to be home-based at Whidbey Naval Air Station. The Navy already has an area in Mountain Home, Idaho, that is available for such war gaming and does not need to allocate $11.5 million to transfer these operations to a new location in a new state. They have 30 practice emitters at the Air Force base in Idaho. Capt. Mike Nortier wants the mobile SEE LETTERS, A7

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM A6

ones and the stationary one in Coupeville to save gas on jet fuel and get pilots home for dinner. At the EIS scoping meeting in Port Townsend, Navy “experts” stated that the Growlers are authorized to fly at an altitude of 6,000 above sea level. But the ground rises in mountains, and in some areas they will be flying at 1,200 feet. This altitude was mentioned by several Navy “experts,” especially in relationship to the location areas of the mobile emitters. Either Nortier “misspoke” or his “experts” gave the public the wrong information. The Navy has released expansion plans for our region’s land, air and sea peace-meal. They are feeling the wrath from people throughout the region — not just Coupeville. Now they think a letter that manipulates the facts from the commander of the base will be enough to sooth the populace. I don’t think so. Michael Monson Coupeville

Refuting captain’s myths and facts Editor, Myth: Some people don’t think Navy pilots deserve the best equipment and training this country can provide. Fact: The Navy does

a great job training pilots on bases in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Nevada but says it needs the Olympic Peninsula because this would save $5 million per year in fuel costs and 45 minutes of flying time that Navy personnel could spend at home. What are tradeoffs for that $5 million? No cost analysis has been done for fuel savings versus economic and health impacts. Myth: Emitters are not dangerous. Fact: A NASA study plus more than 1,000 other scientific reports document the nonthermal impacts of even the lowest-level radiation used by the Navy are

harmful. A University of Washington medical researcher’s peer-reviewed scientific paper, titled “Electromagnetic fields act via activation of voltage-gated calcium channels to produce beneficial or adverse effects,” outlines effects of electromagnetic radiation on biological organisms. It was honored as one of the top medical papers of 2013. Myth: The Navy won’t be causing sonic booms over communities. Fact: At public meetings, west-enders described explosive booms and broken windows. The Navy’s response, recorded on videotape: Pilots sometimes go supersonic

despite the rules against it, and the public should call a complaint hotline. One resident replied she had. The hotline was a recorded message, and a couple months later, she received a postcard in the mail thanking her for her interest in the Navy. Myth: If it’s raining or windy or cloudy, you won’t hear the jets. This was a statement by the Navy at a public meeting. Fact: Growler jets routinely make noise well above human pain thresholds. Effects on endangered birds have been neither studied nor documented. In both wildlife and humans, effects from loud noise include

hearing loss, increased stress hormones, cardiovascular disease, immune system compromise and psychosocial impacts. Myth: People who don’t support the Navy’s plan to fly Growler jets over our communities are unpatriotic. Fact: People who disagree with the status quo of bloated Defense budgets and the constant reminders from jet noise, of the endless buildup for war that will send our sons and daughters into harm’s way because of political decisions, are exercising their right to dissent in a supposedly democratic society.

Wildcats sweep wrestling meet After dropping a pair of matches a week earlier, the Oak Harbor High School wrestling team bounced back for two wins at Mountlake Terrace Tuesday, Dec. 16. The Wildcats ripped the host Hawks 53-22 and Meadowdale 59-23. Christian Bertram (126/132 pounds), Mark Johnston (160) and Jackson Constant (285) each recorded two pins to lead Oak Harbor. Michael L ym (126/132) and Jeremy Vester (138) each won twice, including one pin; and Dimond Piper earned a decision and forfeit. Nate Mecom (182) earned a win against Terrace, and Zach Aketch (145) recorded a pin in the Meadowdale match. “As a team we showed improvement from our two losses last week,” coach Peter Esvelt said. “Our newer varsity wrestlers made big gains in position and intensity. Our upperclassmen continued to push their speed and wrestled well.” Oak Harbor (3-3) takes part in the Graham Morin Invitational at 10 a.m. at Bellingham’s Squalicum High School Saturday, Dec. 20.

Julia Myers slips by Friday Harbor’s Allie Galt for one of Coupeville’s few baskets.

The Coupeville High School girls basketball team held Friday Harbor to 24 points ---- and lost. In a score more fitting for football, the Wolves fell 24-19 to the visiting Wolverines Wednesday, Dec. 17. Coupeville had more turnovers, 23, than points and shot an anemic 18.6 percent (8-for43) from the field. In keeping with the game’s theme, the Wolves hit only two of nine free throws (22 percent). Neither team led by more than two as they struggled through the first half. The clubs were tied at four at the end of the first quarter, then Monica Vidoni’s hoop gave the Wolves a 10-8 lead at the half. Incredibly, it got worse for the Wolves in the third period. It took Coupeville seven minutes to score its only hoop of the quarter, a McKenzie Bailey three-pointer. Shooting wasn’t the problem in the period; the Wolves couldn’t get any shots because of a bevy of turnovers. Meanwhile, Friday Harbor (5-1) more than doubled its first-half output and led 17-13 heading into the final eight minutes. Baskets by Julia Myers and Kacie Kiel brought the Wolves within one, 19-18, with several minutes left. Madi Kincaid, who scored all seven Wolverine points in the fourth quarter, hit a three-ball and a layup to push the lead to 24-18. Coupeville could only counter with a free throw from Makana Stone. The Wolves had plenty of opportunities at the end but couldn’t convert. Friday Harbor missed two free throws, two shots and committed two turnovers in the final 35 seconds, but Coupeville couldn’t take advantage. Stone, who entered the game with a 15-point average, scored six for Coupeville. She also had 12 rebounds, four steals and two blocks. Hailey Hammer scored four points; Bailey three; and Myers, Kiel and Vidoni two each. Myers added eight rebounds and two blocks, and Mia Littlejohn had three steals and three assists. Coupeville (4-3) hosts Vashon Island at 6 p.m. Monday Dec. 29

Meadowdale scores last-second basket, withstands big Wildcat rally The Oak Harbor boys basketball team stormed back from a 17-point halftime deficit only to lose 56-54 on a buzzer-beater at Meadowdale Tuesday, Dec. 16. The Mavericks’ Charlie White slipped in for a last-second layup to help Meadowdale escape the Wildcat rally.

Oak Harbor’s Dyllan Harris hit several clutch free throws and Zach Jones drained a three-pointer with 20 seconds left, completing the comeback and knotting the score at 54. The Wildcats trailed by only one, 10-9, after the first quarter, then Meadowdale (3-2) buried Oak Harbor with

a 20-4 second period to lead 30-13 at halftime. Oak Harbor began pressing after the break, causing Maverick turnovers that resulted in easy transition shots. The Wildcats cut the lead by five in the third period, 40-28, then rang up a 26-point final period to even the score.

“We played really flat in the first half, and Meadowdale just seemed to want it more than us,” coach John Weston said. “In the second half we played the game at our tempo and with a lot more energy.” The Wildcats went with a seven-man rotation down the stretch, and all “contributed in a major way and

really showed confidence in one another,” according to Weston. He was particularly impressed with Diangelo McKinney, who showed “strong leadership and maturity.” “We showed great resilience throughout the game,” Weston said.

Harris scored a game-high 24 points. Jones chipped in with 14, McKinney eight, Ben Fikse four, Jake Sturdevant two, Sean Erskine one and Anthony Powell one. Reid Wilson scored 23 points for the Mavericks. Oak Harbor (1-5) goes to Mariner (4-2) at 7:15 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 27.

Couple’s Wood Goods seeing rapid growth By Ben Watanabe South Whidbey Record

Kelly Cameron puts in 12-hour days in his woodworking shop, a cavernous space in Clinton off Cultus Bay Road. The long labor is worth it for the British Columbia native and co-owner of Turnco Wood Goods, which has seen rapid growth in the past 12 months operating on South Whidbey. He estimated that 70 percent of the business’ earnings come from the wood goods side of the business, which also makes architectural pieces such as parts for lamps or cabinets and even replicated wood columns and balusters for a clock tower in Heppner, Ore. This time last year, the husband-and-wife company that produces a handful of wooden wares for the home, including spatulas, mason jar lids, carafe stoppers and lamps, had its products in only three stores. Today, it’s in 23 brick-and-mortar shops from Saskatchewan to Maine and New York to Hong Kong, plus two online stores. When Cameron and his wife Janae decided to leave Vancouver, British Columbia, for South Whidbey, they expected a change of pace in their lives. The great unknown was how their business would fare, and, for a while, it was a struggle. “A big reason we moved here was lifestyle,” Kelly Cameron said. “We knew we’d move and we knew our business would change,” Janae Cameron added. “We didn’t know if it would take off.” Indeed it has. A key turning point for the Camerons was being featured in Food 52, a New York-based food and cooking website. From there, other stores contacted the Camerons on the East Coast, further enhancing their profile in the home ware industry. Locally, business picked up in recent months. A pair of shops in Langley now sell their products, which Janae Cameron said is a good sign of things to come for their business in the Puget Sound area. “We worked a lot harder

Shop the Shop n Turnco Wood Goods is opening its shop to the public, a rare happening, and will have several of its goods on display and for sale. Shop the Shop is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 20 at their Clinton shop at 6777 Cultus Bay Road, just south of Deer Lake/Log Cabin road. For a look at their products, visit shop. turncowoodgoods. com to find a store on Whidbey than Hong Kong,” Kelly Cameron said, referring to the Chinese store Pyaar Home, which contacted the Camerons about including their goods in the shop. Now they are considering hiring help if orders keep coming in at a similar pace as the past four months. Janae also spends several hours a day in the shop on the lathe turning lids and stoppers. The Camerons have their ideal setup. They work where they live, and live where they work. Fewer than 100 feet from their shop is their home, where they’re able to stay close to their 4-year-old and 2-yearold children during the day. Janae Cameron noted the perks of having dad eat breakfast and, when he has the time, lunch, with the family. It’s been years since the husband and wife of nearly seven years have spent much time apart. The last time they spent more than a day away from each other was a two-day visit Janae Cameron took to see her mother. Other than that, it’s a near–24-hour-a-day relationship. “We’re very different,” she said. “Even our tastes are different.” When they’re in the shop, each gets to retreat to their own world. Kelly Cameron described himself as having a modern aesthetic with an eye for Scandinavian design, while Janae Cameron said she’s more nostalgic. In their shop, Kelly pointed to the lamps he created as an

Then there’s the environment. For a pair of woodworkers, they hardly could have picked a more suitable location than their wooded acreage in Clinton that has a multitude of wood, some of which they have used in their goods, such as a cherry tree that fell during the heavy snowfall and strong winds earlier this month. Outside of their shop are several milled planks of elm and black locust being dried for use in the coming year as the Camerons expand their business to small furniture, such as coffee tables, stools and dining tables. Little wood goes to waste at the Clinton shop. Shavings and sawdust are used for bedding for their goat, Lydia, who behaves like a dog by following people around their property awaiting head scratching. Odds and ends are turned into whatever inspiration strikes the Camerons, including small cookie rolling pins, different shapes

for couch legs and kindling. They’re looking into a wood pellet compressor to turn some of their sawdust and shavings into fuel for woodburning stoves, for which Kelly Cameron said they could produce enough for two homes every year. The Camerons geek out over wood types. Madrona is their muse these days for its local ties — it only grows in coastal areas, from British Columbia to Northern California — and variety of color. But they also feature lots of walnut for its consistent dark chocolate color and look and cherry for some of the less rugged uses, such as muddlers. “I feel like cherry is the all-American wood,” Janae Cameron said. A lot of hard work went into their success, matched only by the labor put into each handcrafted piece. That’s why the oft-stoic, soft-spoken Kelly Cameron said he relishes when someone appreciates one of his works. “Some people get excited, and it’s neat to see,” he said. “I like being in demand.”

he staff and residents of San Juan Rehab (Anacortes) send the warmest of wishes and thanks to IHOP in Mount Vernon for making a recent breakfast “the most wonderful time of the year”. Preparing seating for 17 people, including 10 wheelchairs, was no small task at 9:30 am on a busy weekday. But the restaurant staff not only did that, but dished up plates of patience, humor and various breakfasts for the whole group, with not a frown or hint of confusion, of which we created plenty! Andrea, our main server, was just a jolly, smiling elf who chatted with residents and showed the most caring heart. And apparently, Santa was in the restaurant that day too. In the spirit of the holidays, a table of complete strangers picked up the tab and quietly left before our group could extend our appreciation for their generosity. Getting out and about for a holiday breakfast is a huge treat in itself. With the help of these caring individuals it became one of the highlights of the season, one which will be remembered long after the Christmas lights are taken down.

Clamming hotspot to reopen, but dig limited to 6 weeks By JUSTIN BURNETT South Whidbey Record

Clammers will hit Holmes Harbor for the first time in eight years this spring. The digging will be short lived, however. State fishery officials announced that the area will reopen from April 1 to May 15, pending formal approval by the Washington Fish and WildLife Commission. The narrow window is largely the result of an unexpected and unwelcome development — the expanded presence and domination of varnish clams. According to Camille Speck, a state Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist based out of Port Townsend, the non-native species moved in while the fishery was closed and is pushing out native clams, particularly Manilla and butter clams. “It was a little bit of a rude shock,” Speck said during a telephone interview. WHIDBEY ISLAND has few good public beaches to dig clams, and Holmes Harbor was one of the best, she said. Having lain untouched for nearly a decade, she was expecting to find a stable and healthy fishery. Instead, survey digs in

2008 and again this year showed the once prevalent Manilla and butter clams to have declined from four individuals per square foot to under one and a half. During the same period, varnish clam numbers jumped from about sevenand-a-half per square foot to nearly 11.5 per square foot. For clammers who eagerly anticipated the reopening of the once popular South Whidbey hotspot, which used to be open year-round, news of the six-week season is disappointing. “That’s a shame,” said Eugene Thrasher, Whidbey’s widely recognized clamming guru. A BEACH WATCHER with Washington State University Extension, Island County, Thrasher has taught clam digging classes on South and Central Whidbey for years. “This particular beach was loaded with steamers … You could show up and in 20 minutes have your limit,” he said. Holmes Harbor was closed to shellfish harvesting in March 2007 with the formation of the Holmes Harbor Shellfish Protection District. Required under state law, it was created by county commissioners due to the pres-

ence of fecal coliform bacteria in water samples. County workers and the community worked to clean up the watershed, identify problem septic systems and launched initiatives such as a campaign to pick up dog waste at Freeland Park. No smoking gun was ever discovered, but water quality from fresh water outlets has improved significantly, according to state Department of Health officials. IN A recent letter to local regulators, the agency said Island County’s long efforts paid off, but additional monitoring of the shoreline revealed the presence of Enterococcus bacteria, a genus of lactic acid bacteria, during peak summer months. It was especially present in wrack, the often smelly carpet of seaweed/ organic material that collects on the beach at Freeland Park. The results were enough to warrant a “conditional” reopening of the beach for nine months of the year. Island County Public Health Director Keith Higman said the reopening, though limited, is welcome news and a testament to the county’s long efforts.

THE DECISION to reopen the fishery and set harvest dates is up to Fish and Wildlife, not the Department of Health, however, and the two agencies have left the county facing legal and scientific questions. For one, it’s unclear what a limited “condition” reopening by the department means in terms of the existing protection district and whether the commissioners have the green light to dissolve it. “We’ve posed that question to DOH and we haven’t gotten an answer yet,” Higman said. There are only a handful of protection districts in Washington and there isn’t a lot of precedent for removing them. Higman said the agency may research the question with its legal department about just when it can give the county the OK. ALSO UNCLEAR is from where the Enterococcus bacteria orignated, Higman said. Enterococcus is part of the normal intestinal flora of

she said. Depending on the results, future transplants may occur. A limited fishery will likely be the case for many years to come, Speck said. There is some discussion with local tribes to harvest varnish clams as crab bait, but it’s unclear whether that will materialize or expedite the return of local species. Varnish clams are OK to eat, though they aren’t as tasty as steamers or Washington little necks, Thrasher said. Also, they are known to carry paralytic shellfish poisoning, or PSP, for longer periods of time. HARVESTED VARNISH clams, invasive species or not, will be applied to a clammer’s catch quota, Speck said. Despite the development and setback to returning to year-round harvest, Speck said she’s optimistic. “It’s not without hope,” she said. “The water quality story is a huge success. “We can improve the fishery with time.”

humans and animals, which means the contributor could be nothing more than wildlife. “If it’s seabird poop — does that constitute a health risk?,” Higman said. Experts are also baffled by the seeming take over of varnish clams. Appearing in the 1980s, they are native to Asia. While they are all over Puget Sound, they haven’t been known to outcompete regional species. Speck said she wants to know why. “This presents a pretty exciting opportunity,” she said. BIOLOGISTS SAID they hope to discover what’s happening through studies and testing. Part of that will include removing the offending varnish clams in small areas and reseeding it with Manilla and butter clams. They will be small, however, and crops take from two to four years to cultivate. “I’m talking a one-fourth acre or less of the seven acres of productive habitat,”

PURCHASE CONTINUED FROM A1 purchase of restrictive easements on two properties just south of OLF Coupeville. The Janicki property and the Manke property are on opposite sides of Keystone Hill Road and, combined, total 97 acres. The Navy also holds restrictive easements on two properties near Crockett Lake, which are owned by the Land Trust. There are several other properties the Land Trust and Navy identified for possible acquisition in the future. They are properties in Ebey’s Prairie and one up by

Dugualla Bay, but there are no other active easements in the works, Powell said. “We’ll continue to partner with them where it fits the Land Trust’s goals.” The development rights purchased from the Town of Coupeville property includes forest land on Keystone Hill. The property has a deep aquifer that the town uses as the primary water source for its utility system because the location has better withdrawal and water quality than the town’s other wells. “The details of the … restrictive easement allow

for the continued use of the land for additional wells and for future addition to the existing water treatment plant,” said Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard. “Restricting any further development preserves the forest, open space, water quality, aquifer recharge and wildlife habitat in this area. “This preservation is consistent and very complementary to the town’s purpose for the land … the primary watershed for our water utility.” Because the town first purchased the Keystone Hill property using a grant acquired to support the town’s utilities system, the $800,000 will go back into the town’s utilities fund. The town is reviewing its

capital improvement needs and a proposed utility rate increase in 2015. With the $800,000 paid for the development rights, any rate increases will now likely be less for customers, Conard said. Powell said the property fits into the Land Trust’s goal of protecting land around the Crockett Lake ecosystem. “One of the needs in Crockett Lake is to retain forest land.” In recent years, it’s been difficult acquiring funding to protect forests. Funds mainly go to protect open prairies, salmon habitat, coastal features and beach access, she said. The Keystone Hill property drains into Crocket Lake

and performs a service only nature can provide, Powell said. It’s a critical component for that ecosystem that provides a home for 240 different species. The property also runs adjacent to Outlying Field Coupeville and fits into the Navy’s interest in restricting development around the airfield. The Navy will hold that easement and monitor it once a year, Powell said. Cate Andrews, spokesperson for Citizens of the Ebey’s Reserve, said the group agrees with public concerns about the potential harm this sale could cause to residents and children in the 98239 ZIP code and the harm it will do to parks and homes in the area.

HAGGEN CONTINUED FROM A1

As part of a divestment process, the 168 Safeway and Albertson’s stores have been sold to four buyers. Haggen, a Bellinghambased company, is buying 146 Albertson’s and Safeway stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona. Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley said he welcomes Haggen, but he — like many people — is concerned about the fate of the Albertson’s. “We as a society like competition,” he said. “Why? Because it usually means better prices.” Haggen is purchasing the Oak Harbor Safeway, but the city’s Albertson’s isn’t on the list. Brian Dowling, a spokesman for Albertson’s, said that means it will remain the way it is. Purchase of the grocery outlets is a big step for the Pacific Northwest company. Haggen will expand from 18 stores with 16 pharmacies to 164 stores with 106 pharmacies; from 2,000 employees to more than 10,000 employees, according to the company. “With this pivotal acquisition, we will have the opportunity to introduce many more customers to the Haggen experience. Our Pacific Northwest grocery store chain has been committed to local sourcing, investing in the communities we serve, and providing genuine service and homemade quality since it was founded in 1933,” said John Caple, chairman of the Haggen board of directors and partner at Comvest Partners, a private investment firm that owns the majority of shares of Haggen. After the close of the transaction in early 2015, Haggen will convert all of the acquired Albertson’s and Safeway stores to the Haggen banner in phases. Haggen plans to retain the current store management teams, the company reported.

CONTINUED FROM A1 Councilman Bob Clay, who, as chairman of the IT board, was the acting director for the last few months. Graska said he’s spent his first five days on the job meeting the employees, and he’s impressed. “You have the most committed, cohesive group of transit professionals I have come across,” he said. It was the final meeting as transit board members for both Island County Commissioner Helen PriceJohnson and Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley. Price-Johnson’s fellow commissioners voted this week to replace her on the board. Island County’s newest commissioner, Rick Hannold, attended the meeting Friday as former commissioner Aubrey Vaughan’s replacement. Commissioner Jill Johnson will step into Price-Johnson’s seat next month. Johnson said the decision to replace Price-Johnson was in response to public feed-

attend. She said Friday that she understood the decision wasn’t personal or punitive, but that “elections have consequences.” Hannold won the election in November; he and Johnson are both Republicans. Price-Johnson said she would like to continue helping the transit agency. She pointed out that the new board won’t have any representation from unincorporated South Whidbey or Camano Island.

The page is online at www.gofundme.com/iypu30 James said that Rice has many friends in the community and works as a caregiver for her elderly mother. She said she’s always been on good terms with him and considers him a “gentle giant.” Rice said that doctors haven’t told him how long he’ll remain in the hospital.
