Brian Richmond, an Alaska Airlines pilot, gets his radio controlled plane ready to go with his son Alex at the Outlying Field Coupeville during an event called ‘Jets over Whidbey’ Saturday. The turbine engine jets can exceed 200 mph. ‘It’s more exciting,’ Richmond said, comparing it to real flying. ‘You can make these low passes and pull straight up. The full-scale flying is just so disciplined. With that being said, it’s still a kick.’

By Ron NewberryStaff Reporter

Brian Richmond has spent 25 years as a pilot for Alaska Airlines.

But last Saturday, he stood near the air strip at the Outlying Field in Coupeville and was at the controls of a model airplane.

He was there for the 24th annual “Jets over Whidbey” event, put on by the Whidbey Is-land Radio Control Society.

He couldn’t stay for a second day.He needed to get to SeaTac to fly a Boeing

737 to Orlando, Fla., Sunday.“I think I was 6 years old when I started

flying radio-controlled stuff,” said Richmond, who lives in Gig Harbor. “I’m 55 now and I’ve

been flying these things 49 years, which is a long time. I just absolutely loved these air-planes and was fascinated by it.

“Naturally, I just wanted to be a pilot.”Richmond and his son Alex were among

27 registered pilots flying radio-controlled planes under blues skies at OLF Saturday.

The Navy allows the Whidbey Island Ra-dio Control Society to use the airstrip during times when jets from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station aren’t flying. Navy jet activity can-celed the first day of the model airplane event Friday.

About 60 people attended Saturday to watch the little planes whiz by and perform the sort of maneuvers one sees at air shows.

“We’re airplane cuckoos,” said Everett’s

John Rogalski, who came with his friend Jeff Nikolaidis. “Both of us are docents at the His-toric Flight Foundation in Mukilteo.

“We’ve been inoculated with the airplane virus.”

Two types of model aircraft were on dis-play — electric-ducted fan jets and true tur-bine engine jets.

The planes range in price from $5,000 to $23,000, according to Tom Berry, the event coordinator.

An operator needs a waiver from the Academy of Model Aeronautics to fly a true turbine engine jet and isn’t supposed to fly the plane in excess of 200 mph.

Freedom of speech riles some downtownBy Megan HansenCo-Editor

A man exercising his First Amendment rights is ruffling feathers in downtown Coupeville.

In response to multiple complaints about a truck with political signs parked downtown all day Sunday, Town of Coupeville officials issued a public notice saying the signs weren’t against the law and there isn’t anything they can do.

The owner of the truck and signs, Ken Pickard, said his messages are a way to dis-pel the myth and generate dialogue about what the Navy is really doing to the citizens and the community with the use of the touch-and-go field for jets near Coupeville.

The noise from the EA-18G Growlers has become controversial over the last year

Coupeville Marshal Rick Norrie’s at-tention to odd details led to the apprehen-sion of a suspected car thief and burglar last weak.

Norrie was on routine patrol Aug. 17 when he noticed a disheveled man slumped on the steering wheel of a Mercedes Benz SUV parked on the front lawn of a home inside the Terry Mobile Home Park, ac-cording to a report by Lt. Mike Hawley with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Norrie rapped on the car window, but the man just looked up groggily and laid his head back down on the steering wheel.

He contacted the resident of the home,

A farmer’s right to main-tain drainage ditches with-out regulation was at the core of Monday’s debate on fish and wildlife protections at Monday’s Island County commissioner meeting.

Unable to reach consen-sus, Island County commis-sioners delayed adopting the document and agreed to revisit the discussion during their Sept. 3 work session and Sept. 8 regular meeting.

At the core of their de-bate is the need to adopt the government-mandated regulations without creating obstacles for farms within critical areas.

Under the current draft, farmers with drainage ditches that are categorized as regulated streams would be required to go through an expensive process of per-mitting and inspection to perform basic ditch main-tenance.

“It would put us out of

business,” said Daryl Van-derPool, owner of Maxwel-ton Farm.

“We would be done.”Several farmers Monday

urged the commissioners to revisit the requirements that would affect the island’s farming community.

“This was a poorly drafted ordinance before it got to you,” Ray Gabelein said. “You’re going to have to do a lot of work on it to get it where it needs to be.”

Christine Williams said that all the farms on Whid-bey are connected, and placing undue restrictions on some of the farms would affect the entire “web of farming” negatively.

“I really think we need to be very careful,” Wil-liams said.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson tried to gain support for an across-the-board exemption for ditch maintenance on existing and ongoing farm opera-tions but failed to gain trac-tion.

“Clearly there’s confu-sion about what is there,” Price Johnson said. “I share the concern.”

Planner Brad Johnson said he believes that such an exemption would run afoul of the Growth Management Act requirements, which the county is striving to meet.

“My understanding of the GMA requirements is that we are supposed to be balancing these interests,” Price Johnson responded.

Commissioner Jill John-son said that exempting reg-ulated streams in agricul-tural areas would be against the spirit of state Fish and Wildlife regulations.

“What this whole exer-cise is about is the protec-tion of fish and wildlife,” Johnson said. “Although this is not how the genera-tion before us farmed, this is the new world that we’re living in now. And one of the expectations is that we are not going to engage in behavior that causes known environmental harm.”

When you talk about some of these ditches that are also streams, that is going to be an area of con-flict.”

Before their next discus-sion, commissioners di-rected staff to more clearly define “regulated stream” to clarify for farmers who would be affected by the regulation.

While farmers took issue with the ditch regulations, members of the Whidbey Environmental Action Net-work said that the findings of fact and the updated or-dinance fall short of its goal to protect fish and wildlife.

“These are not findings; they are justification for not doing the right thing,” said Marianne Edain of WEAN.

The group challenged the county’s wetland regulations previously to the Western Washington Growth Management Hear-ings Board.

If necessary, Edain said WEAN will do it again.

“We don’t want to have to go back to the Hearings Board,” Edain said. “We’re going to be back all over this.”

If the commissioners make substantive changes to the regulations, a third public hearing would be scheduled.

The former Island Transit finance manager is defend-ing her reputation after being fired and accused of finan-cial mismanagement at the agency.

Executive Director Mar-tha Rose said she fired Bar-bara Savary in June after it was revealed that IT didn’t have enough money to pay its bills.

Rose said Savary did not properly communicate to her the agency’s money troubles and was dipping into invest-ment reserves secretly to cover expenses.

As a result of money problems, staffing and route cuts were implemented.

Not true, Savary said last week. Savary said she warned Rose that Island Transit was headed for a shortfall, but that her concerns were rou-tinely ignored.

“Over the course of the last few years, I became in-creasingly uncomfortable with decisions made at Island Transit and the effect these decisions were having on the budget,” Savary said in a let-ter released after consulting with an attorney.

“I repeatedly informed (Rose) that changes and cuts needed to be implemented to avoid the exact situation that now befalls Island Transit.”

Savary said she was al-ready “looking for other op-portunities” when the budget

shortfall was made public.Rose was also aware the

agency was drawing on its investment reserves to cover expenses, Savary said.

Island Transit obtained an $18 million federal grant for the new facility, which was completed this year, and needed to come up with $4.4 million in matching funds.

Savary claims only about $1 million of the original $6.2 million was used to cover budgetary shortcomings, and another $5 million, she claims, was used to finish the new transit facility and pur-chase new vehicles.

“These expenditures were published in the budget and approved by Ms. Rose,” Savary said in her letter. “I explained to Ms. Rose that, without a change in prac-tices, our reserves would be completely depleted by May 2013.”

Island Transit’s invest-ments were at zero as of July, and Island Transit had to obtain a $1.5 million bond to raise the necessary match and operating costs.

Savary said Rose initially asked her to take a demotion, which she accepted, but then Savary decided to give her two-week’s notice.

During her last two weeks at IT, Savary claimed Rose asked her to stay on, but she declined. Then, before completion of her final two weeks at the transit center, Savary said she was handed a termination letter by Rose

and was denied her accrued vacation pay.

Savary also counters Rose’s claim that she left un-paid bills in her desk upon her departure.

“There is no basis for making this statement,” Savary wrote. “I have never knowingly put invoices in my desk. Following my de-parture, I was contacted on several occasions by Island County staff for assistance on various issues. Never once was I asked about invoices found in my desk.”

Rose “created liabil-ity” for Island Transit when she made false statements, Savary alleges in her letter, adding she has met with law-yers. She didn’t say whether she intends to sue her former employer.

Savary could not be reached for additional com-ment. Rose said last Tuesday she hadn’t read Savary’s letter and would not comment.

Lydia Ferguson, who drove a bus for Island Transit for 15 years until April, said

she has a hard time believ-ing Rose wasn’t aware of the agency’s finances.

“There was nothing, not one penny, that Martha didn’t know about,” Fergu-son said. “She was very much in control of everything and anything that happened at Island Transit.”

Ferguson, an Oak Harbor resident for 25 years, said she left Island Transit by her own choice, but experienced some health issues and was using her Family Medical Leave Act time prior to making a decision to not return.

Ferguson concedes she wasn’t close with most of the office staff, but said she saw and heard what was happen-ing.

“I simply don’t under-stand how (Rose) can say that she wasn’t aware,” Ferguson said. “It was Martha’s way or the highway.”

Ferguson also said she believes Rose had good inten-tions.

“I think her heart’s in the right place,” Ferguson said.

“She just wanted so much for it she forgot about what’s right and wrong.”

Island County Commis-sioner Helen Price Johnson, who serves on the transit board of directors, said she was advised by legal council not to comment on the “pos-sible litigation” when asked to comment on Savary’s letter.

Finding out what hap-pened is important, and she looks forward to the results of the audit, Price Johnson said.

“My main focus is mov-ing forward — correcting the structural deficiencies, restoring Island Transit’s fis-

cal health and preserving this vital service for our commu-nity,” Price Johnson said via an email.

“I am saddened that Ms. Rose has opted to publish false statements with knowl-edge of their falsehood in what is apparently a desper-ate attempt to retain her own job,” Savary said in her letter. “I’m am truly sorry it has come to this, but I cannot silently accept blame when it is not due.”

Island Transit has a $12 million operating budget and is an independent taxpayer-funded agency overseen by a board of directors.

Navy pandering is the problem, not solutionEditor,

I sent the following to Nancy Conard:Hello Nancy,As one who saw the sign referenced in your

news release of Aug. 26, 2014, I appreciate that you are correct to stand up for this citizen’s right to free speech.

However, to link it to Tea Party signs de-facing President Barack Obama is reprehen-

sible. If you were looking for a comparable, an

appropriate choice would have been the Pro-OLF signs that cavalierly support Growlers over the horrific impacts of their noise on Whidbey Island families and children.

That near-slur in your news release seems to me cleverly intended to besmirch and dis-credit the growing body of citizens highly con-cerned about the certain effects of jet noise on health and quality of life.

I suggest that you owe these citizens an apology for denigrating their difficult and ad-mirable efforts to take on this arduous cause

for thousands of us in the region detrimentally affected by jet noise.

They/we need your help, and I suggest that you may benefit from doing a bit more soul-searching about that, keeping in mind that Navy pandering is the problem, not the solution.

And also please consider that the message is morphing with new and certain under-standing that the sound of freedom un-checked has become the sound of abuse.

Truck signs are protected speech

Coupeville resident Ken Pickard is pretty good at getting folks riled up.

And he has every right to do so.He’s been outspoken over a variety of

issues over the years, from environmental and development issues to the Big Rock. He’s rarely been known to pull his punches and can be outrageous at times.

Most recently, Pickard got some people mad by parking his truck covered with pro-test signs on Front Street. He is a member of the group Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, which is critical of the noise caused by the Growler jets as they practice landing and taking off at the Outlying Field near Coupeville.

Pickard’s signs say things like, “Navy intentionally injures citizens physically, mentally, financially.”

To most people, such assertions are simply ridiculous, to say the least. Some people are rightfully outraged.

The thing is, there may be a method to Pickard’s madness. By playing the provo-cateur, he’s getting people to talk about an issue he wants people to talk about. And it works.

The trouble is that outlandish tactics often turn off people who might otherwise be sympathetic to a viewpoint.

That’s not to suggest that Pickard doesn’t believe the things he says or writes. Only he knows if he really believes that the Navy intentionally hurts people.

Whatever his method, he has a right say what he thinks. And the Town of Coupe-ville was correct in not trying to silence him, despite complaints.

As critics of COER have pointed out, the men and women who fly those Growl-ers are putting their lives on the line to preserve freedoms that include the First Amendment.

Free speech can be hard to take some-times. Which is why it is written into the Constitution in unambiguous language.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a re-dress of grievances.”

Mobile butcher to serve island farmersBy Justin BurnettSouth Whidbey Record

Greg Gilles is known throughout South Whidbey as a respected homebuilder.

But there’s a secret about the Maxwelton man that many may not know. His cal-loused hands and perma-nently bent index finger aren’t just from swinging a hammer — it’s from years of holding a knife.

A fifth-generation butcher from Evansville, Ind., Gilles was strapping on a tool belt of metal and chain long be-fore he ever picked up one filled with nails and tape measures. On his resume are positions at five state and fed-erally inspected plants, such as Oberto’s in Seattle.

In as soon as two weeks, he’ll be dusting off those knives and slicing into South Whidbey agriculture.

Gilles and his son, Na-than, are on the verge of opening 7 Generations Ar-tisan Meats, a home-based butcher business serving Whidbey Island. Nathan Gilles is sixth-generation, and his son, 5-year-old Liam, makes seven.

“We’re all really excited about it,” Greg Gilles said.

7 Generations Artisan Meats won’t fit the image of the historical corner butcher shop, as it’s not certified by the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture for direct sales of unprocessed meats. In other words, one can’t swing by the store and pick up a steak or ribs for dinner.

They can, however, sell processed meats such as sau-sage. When it comes to links, Gilles knows his stuff. They will offer 33 different prod-

ucts, from French, Italian, Polish and Irish sausages to smoked Hungarian links and salamis, and a few recipes from the family book. These are gourmet-quality prod-ucts, meant to rival high-end shops in Pike Street Market, but with real-world prices, Gilles said.

“I don’t want to be in the food business unless the average person can afford to buy our products ... it’s not a luxury item,” he said.

But direct sales are only one part of the business mod-el. 7 Generations will also of-fer mobile butchering services to island farmers, and they’ll be the only Whidbey-based company to do so.

Mount Vernon-based butchers offer the same ser-vice and are utilized by many Whidbey farmers, but they can be busy and scheduling a visit can be a month away, said Karen Bishop, director of the Whidbey Conservation Island District.

“There’s a great opportu-nity for beef,” she said.

Leland Long, of Long Family Farm, is located a few miles down the road from the Gilles’ and confirmed he will likely be a customer. His reg-ular off-island butcher does a good job, but 7 Genera-tions is local, and supporting Whidbey businesses is impor-tant, Long said.

“It’s a great deal,” Long said. “I’m all for it and will use them when I can.”

According to Bishop, the businesses will be a big lure for smaller operations, farms or families with one or two animals, such as sheep. The benefit is that a local and mobile butcher will come out for a single animal, where

off-island counterparts won’t make the trip unless it’s for a handful of animals.

The Gilles’ have outfitted a refrigerated truck to pro-vide the service, which will be primarily manned by Nathan Gilles.

His father will run the shop, with the help of his wife, Susan Gilles, and, of

course, Liam.It may be a few years be-

fore he’s putting in long hours like his dad and grandfather, but he’s guaranteed an apron.

“He’s pretty excited about it,” said a proud Greg Gilles. “He said, ‘Poppy, I get to run the hot dog-making ma-chine.’”

Finally, the shop will

process wild game for South Whidbey’s hunting commu-nity.

They can’t accept poultry, but deer, elk and other big game are welcome. It’s ex-pected to be a big part of the business.

By Jim WallerStaff Reporter

Coupeville High School begins a new era in athletics this fall when it shifts from the Cascade Conference to the Olympic League.

Coupeville left the Cas-cade Conference to find a more equitable situation. It is the smallest 1A school in the state, and the Cascade Con-ference, a mixture of 2A and 1A schools, requires all of its members to play each other during the regular season.

The Wolves struggled to compete with the larger 2A schools and private-school powerhouses Archbishop Murphy and King’s.

The Cascade Conference did allow Coupeville to play as an independent in football the past two seasons, but that was not an ideal situation for the Wolves.

Chimacum, like Coupe-ville, wasn’t happy with its former league affiliation. In the 1A Nisqually League, it was matched up with six pri-vate schools.

The Cowboys and Wolves will jump to the 11-team Olympic League and play in a four-team, 1A division with Port Townsend and Kla-howya of Silverdale. Unlike the Cascade Conference, the 1A schools in the Olympic League will be in their own division and not be required to play the 2A schools.

Port Townsend (327 stu-dents) and Chimacum (237), like Coupeville (225), are two of the smaller 1A schools in the state and should, in theory, be more equitable in athletic talent.

The Washington Inter-scholastic Activities Associa-tion takes enrollment counts every two years, and schools are placed in divisions based upon those numbers. For the most part, the top 17 percent are 4A schools; the next 17

percent, 3A; and so forth.Coupeville, Chimacum

and Port Townsend all had trouble racking up wins against larger league oppo-nents in the past.

In 2013 fall sports, Chi-macum finished 1-8 in foot-ball, 0-16 in soccer and 4-13 in volleyball.

Port Townsend, which played football in the 1A Nisqually League but all other sports in the Olympic League, went 7-3 in football, 0-8 in tennis, 0-16 in soccer and 3-11 in volleyball.

Klahowya, however, is dropping down a classifica-tion from 2A this fall and is the third largest 1A school in Washington with 456 stu-dents. Therefore, the Eagles will be a challenge for Coupe-ville, Chimacum and Port Townsend.

Although Klahowya was one of the smallest schools in the Olympic League, it went 5-4 in football, 7-3 in tennis, 13-3 in soccer and 10-7 in vol-leyball last year.

Fall sports weren’t the only trouble spots for Chima-cum and Port Townsend.

In the winter, the Cow-boys were 3-17 in boys basket-ball and 2-17 in girls basket-ball. During the spring, its baseball team went 2-13 and its boys soccer team was 0-10.

Port Townsend’s boys bas-ketball team was 6-13, while the girls went 10-13. In spring sports, the Redhawk baseball team finished 4-15 and its softball team was 2-16. The boys soccer team ended 5-11 and the boys and girls track teams both went 0-6.

The combined Chimacum and Port Townsend tennis team was winless in eight matches.

Klahowya had decent teams in baseball (14-9), boys soccer (11-9) and boys track (4-4), but finished under .500 in boys basketball (1-18), girls

basketball (3-16), softball (2-12), girls tennis (0-11) and girls track (2-6).

The switch in leagues for Coupeville will also neces-sitate a switch in traditional starting times for contests. Chimacum, Port Townsend and Klahowya are all on

the Olympic Peninsula, and that means trips on the Port Townsend ferry, which has limited late-evening runs. League football games, for example, which generally started at 7 p.m. in the past, will now begin anywhere be-tween 3 and 5:30 p.m.

Coupeville athletic teams begin play in new league

Sights like these will be more frequent now that Coupeville is a member of the Olympic League. Above, the Wolves stop Chimacum (white jerseys) in a non-league game last year. Below, Jake Tumblin steals third against Port Townsend in a nonleague game in 2013. Coupeville will play Chimacum and Port Townsend twice in each sport each year in the Olympic League starting this fall.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) 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 quantity 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.

CALL TO ORDERAPPROVAL OF MINUTES - Meeting of June 3, 2014NEW BUSINESS1. SSDP-005-14, A Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the Rehabilitation and reuse of the structure at 10 NW Front Street.PLANNER’S REPORTAUDIENCE INPUTADJOURN

“It’s just like you see in a 737, just smaller,” Berry said of the true turbine en-gine. “They put out 12-to-24 pounds of thrust.”

Richmond’s father, Stu-art, got him involved with radio-controlled planes, and he used to compete with his older brother Bruce for years in pylon racing in sites across the country and in other parts of the world.

Richmond took an ex-tended break to raise his family and is now getting more involved with model airplanes again.

He was flying his brother’s model plane, a Bob Violett Model Bobcat, with “Bruce Richmond” etched on the side.

“He died when he was 45, 10 years ago,” Richmond said. “He left me that jet.

“My brother was kind of a gruff character. He was really smart. Whenever we’re fly-ing that, we feel he’s standing over our shoulders, saying, ‘Don’t screw up!’ I always feel like somebody’s out there helping us.”

JETS: Society takes over Navy’s practice field

SIGNS: Man ruffles feathers with downtown message

and even became the subject of a federal lawsuit.

“My intention is to dis-pel the myth created by the Chamber of Commerce, Realtors, Town of Coupe-ville and Island County that Central Whidbey is a bucolic, pastoral, tranquil place in the center of a National Histori-cal Reserve,” Pickard said. “In reality, Central Whidbey has become a military train-ing area with jet noise consis-tent with a war zone.

“This ‘myth’ fails to ac-knowledge the severe irrepa-rable personal injury being inflicted upon the citizens of Central Whidbey and all living things. The electeds have given federal infusion of money priority over the health and welfare of their constituents, the citizens,” Pickard said.

The truck, which was parked on Front Street all day Sunday, displayed signs that said, “Politicians choose

$$$ over harm to citizens” and “Navy intentionally in-jures citizens physically, men-tally, financially.”

Coupeville Town Marshal Rick Norrie said his office received a few calls about the signs and he was approached in person about the issue as well.

“Obviously, when you get calls, you got to figure out what’s going on,” Norrie said. “We’re very much aware. You can only do what you can do lawfully.”

The truck was parked on public property and does not pose a safety risk, Norrie added.

Pickard, who is a member of Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER, said the group has more in store.

“COER has many up-coming tactics and plans to continue to bring the facts to light and to the forefront of public discussion until such time as our ‘leaders’ take a position supporting the citi-zens, our health and welfare, our reserve and our freedom

to live and enjoy the peaceful and quiet enjoyment of our homes,” he said.

While he parked the truck all day on Sunday, he said

he also drove it downtown Monday.

“Monday I just drove it down and parked while I was having lunch down on the

wharf,” he said. Coupeville Chamber of

Commerce Director Lynda Eccles declined to comment for the story.

but the man had no idea why the vehicle was parked on his property.

So Norrie ran a check on the SUV and found it was registered to a West Beach Road resident.

An Oak Harbor police officer went to the house to

check and found the garage door open and evidence of forced entry into the house. The residents were on vaca-tion.

Norrie then knocked on the SUV window until the man “finally roused from his stupor and opened the door,” Hawley wrote. Nor-rie noticed a hypodermic

needle on the floorboard be-neath the driver, the report states.

The man was identified as Christopher Nielsen, a transient and “known drug user,” Hawley wrote. A dep-uty contacted Norrie and said he had probable cause to arrest Nielsen on the Aug. 16 or 17 burglary of Neil’s

Clover Patch Cafe.The alleged burglar

or burglars gained ac-cess through a tiny win-dow, and the thieves got away with $200 to $300 in loose change. The thief got in by squeezing through an 18-inch-wide, metal-screened window in a food pantry, according to the

South Whidbey Record.Prosecutors, however,

have only charged Nielsen with possession of a stolen vehicle so far. A conviction could mean more than four years in prison for him.

Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock set Nielsen’s bail at $30,000 on Aug. 21.
