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 calloused hands and permanently bent index finger aren’t just from swinging a hammer — it’s from years of holding a knife.

A fifth generation butcher from Evansville, Indiana, Gilles was strapping on a tool belt of metal and chain long before he ever picked up one filled with nails and tape measures. On his resume are positions at five state and federally 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, Nathan, are on the verge of opening 7 Generations Artisan 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 Department 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 sausage. When it comes to links, Gilles knows his stuff. They will offer 33 different products, from French, Italian, Polish and Irish sausages to smoked Hungarian links and sala-mis, and a few recipes from the family book.

Riders demand answers at transit meeting

By JANIS REIDSouth Whidbey Record

Where did the money go and what is Island Transit going to do about it?

This was the main ques-tion repeated by an angry and confused room full of people at the Island Transit board meeting Friday in the wake of financial mismanagement, service reductions and staffing cuts.

“You folks had a pile of money and over a period of time it was gone,” said one resident. “Why are you still here pretending to man-age?”

Friday, the board approved its state-required Six-Year Transit Development Plan before going into its regular meet-ing. Board chairman Bob Clay appeared to struggle to maintain traditional meeting procedure as questions and answers flew between residents and board members.

Several of those attend-ing said the board’s six-year plan was unrealistic given their current finan-

Disgraced transit finance director fires back By JANIS REID

South Whidbey Record

Island Transit Chief Martha Rose was aware of the trans-portation agency’s building fiscal crisis for years, and ignored repeated warnings, according to the department’s former finance manager.

Barbara Savary, the bookkeeper Rose has publicly blamed for the funding fiasco, fired back against the allegations with a

formal letter to Island Transit’s Board of Directors last week. It tells a very different story of what happened, alleging that Savary warned Rose of the problem on multiple occasions over a period of years and that her concerns went unheeded until the situation became “critical” in 2012.

“I am saddened that Ms. Rose has opted to publish false statements … in what is apparently a desperate attempt to retain her own job,” Savary wrote. “I’m truly sorry it has come to this, but I cannot silently accept blame when it is

not due.”Savary’s letter is in response to statements Rose made in

June that she fired Savary after it became clear the agency didn’t have enough money to pay its bills. Staffing and service cuts have followed.

Rose claimed in a previous interview with the South Whidbey Record that Savary did not properly communicate

Port of South Whidbey Commissioners sang the same song regarding the Possession Beach boat ramp at a special meet-ing Tuesday.

Hearing comments, suggestions and concerns from eight people in the crowd, the port officials reiterated their focus for redoing the ramp built in 1987: they want to get more use out of the ramp while reducing their maintenance costs. The project is estimated to cost between $350,000 and $450,000.

Basically, the redone boat ramp and pilings will replace the existing structures. The main difference, as proposed by the port district’s preferred plan, is moving the floats to the south side of the ramp — the driver’s side when backing in a boat to launch. Another change will be the grade of the ramp itself to help mirror the natural slope of the shore at Possession Beach, the southern-most end of Whidbey Island.

Some of the work is expected to reduce environmental impacts. Instead of four groups of four pilings each for the floats, there will be six galvanized steel pilings. The overall idea, Coastal Engineering representative Joel Darnell said, is to make it a simpler permitting process which involves the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Island County, and several departments in Washington state.

“This is a boat ramp to serve the users … and it’s been there for 25 years,” Darnell said.

Bob Snyder, a Clinton resident, recommended that the port look at lengthening the floats two feet to match the added length of the concrete ramp. Expanding the footprint of the boat launch could be problematic, Darnell said, during the permitting process.

Port Commissioner Curt Gordon said the board could look at ways of extending the expansion from the concrete abut-ment — a fixed structure — to the floats by two feet, thus pushing the floats out two feet farther.

Rather than break up the existing concrete ramp, Darnell said the plan is to use it as a base. Several pre-cast, 8-inch thick, tongue-and-groove panels would be laid on top and locked in

place. By comparison, typical sidewalks are 4 inches thick. The concrete panels would have a flat-top and V-grooves for traction, which will also use the current to help move sand off its surface.

“We want to work with the waves, let the waves do the action,” Darnell said.

Despite a desire to redo the ramp, a port employee said people are able to launch at low tides already. Wayne Nance, the Possession Beach boat launch manager, said the benefit of moving the floats to the south will help buffer northbound waves and make it easier for people to launch and tow their boats.

“I’m always helping folks trying to get their boat on,” Nance said.

The 32-foot wide ramp, Darnell said, is technically wide enough for two boats to simultaneously launch, and if the port ever decides to install a second set of floats to the north of the

ramp, it would have room.Port officials hoped to have any changes to the plans ready

by Aug. 22, after The Record went to press, before sending it off for permit review. Darnell said the Corps of Engineers process could take as long as a year.

A man who forged signa-tures so he could divorce his wife and marry his girlfriend was sentenced this week, according to court docu-ments.

Navy man Thomas Mayhew, 34, was charged with one count of offering false instrument for filing or record and one count of forg-ery. He received 30 days in jail at his sentencing.

Mayhew was found guilty of forging his wife’s and a judge’s signatures on the documents because he want-ed to marry his girlfriend in Las Vegas, the police report said.

Mayhew was charged Feb. 7 after an employee at the Island County Clerk’s Office reportedly noticed irregulari-ties when Mayhew submit-ted a divorce decree and a parenting plan. County Clerk also saw discrepancies and

it appeared that Mayhew had written Clerk Debra Van Pelt’s name instead of the judge’s name.

Mayhew’s wife told inves-tigators she was shocked he had tried to file divorce paperwork and that her name was, in fact, forged.

The wife found a wedding invitation in his truck that showed he was planning to get married in Las Vegas that week, the police report states.

Mayhew admitted to forging the signatures in a statement to the police. He said he panicked and didn’t want to lose his girlfriend, but thought his wife wouldn’t agree to a divorce.

Archery program teacher retires

The South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District’s longtime archery coach, Glen Harris, is retir-ing.

Harris, whose career as a professional archery coach spanned nearly 40 years and includes being a United Sports Athletic Association Level IV Coach and judge, presi-dent of Harris Coaching International, director of Emerald City Archery Academy and Chairperson of Disabled Archery USA, has been teaching archery to students on Whidbey for six years.

“We are losing a great instructor which we are sad about,” said Doug Coutts, parks director.

South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District board members said in a meeting Wednesday evening that they intend to continue the pro-gram upon hire of a new instructor, a decision they said is possible due to

the district’s ownership of class materials, which they must now maintain in Harris’ absence.

Harris’ final day teach-ing the archery class, and the final day of the 4-day archery camps for the 2014 season, was Thursday, Aug. 21.

Pay plan may cap employee raises

South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District commissioners are con-sidering a compensation

plan that will put a cap on employee raises.

Doug Coutts, parks director, explained that the district received rec-ommendations for an employee salary raise model based upon a com-pensation and benefits study of other local gov-ernment organizations of similar size.

Three models were con-sidered, one of which was chosen as most favorable by board members at their regular board meet-ing Wednesday evening.

“This is just bringing us in line with what other organizations are doing,” said Coutts of the pro-posed new model.

He explained that the “step-in-grade system” model establishes top and bottom values for par-ticular jobs, rather than the individuals in those positions.

Using this system, employees progress through grades until they reach the top step, at which they “max out” and are no longer eligible to receive additional raises.

“This puts everybody within a range and keeps them standardized,” said Coutts, adding that the system prevents individu-als from receiving sala-ries that are beyond the recommended amount for their position. In the current model, there is no official salary cap.

The current raise plan involves a 3 percent merit pool in which supervi-sors multiply the entire amount of full-time sala-ries by 3 percent, and put it into a merit pool to be distributed to employees based primarily upon per-formance reviews.

For example, said Coutts, if he had three employees he could hypothetically distribute 6 percent to one, 3 percent to another and none to the third based upon the employees’ performance throughout the year.

Some board members, particularly Commissioner Mark Helpenstell, were reluctant to make a deci-sion because two board members were absent from the meeting.

Helpenstell said he felt “very uncomfort-able” making a decision without the input of board member Matt Simms, who was in South Korea at the time of

the meeting and who, according to Coutts, had yet to respond to an email request for his input on the matter as of Wednesday.

The board is planning to hold a special meet-ing prior to its regularly scheduled September meeting to further dis-cuss the plan and make a decision. Meanwhile, Coutts will seek Simms’ and board president Don Wood’s input and vote.

If the directors agree to approve the plan at this special meeting, Coutts predicted that it will be implemented immediate-ly with the policy being enacted in September.

Coutts said the district had budgeted for imple-mentation of a new raise plan and that the impact of the change would be minimal.

PAB chairwoman OK’d to 3-year term

Sue Walsh was re-appointed by the Langley City Council to another three-year term on the city’s Planning Advisory Board.

She currently serves as the board’s chairwoman.

Council backs fairgrounds

The Langley City Council formally approved the city’s involvement in whatever developments may come to the Island County Fairgrounds.

At present, the county has a property man-ager secured until April in the Island County Fair Association. Earlier this summer, the association appeared prepared to walk away from its con-tract to run the property in exchange for use of the

grounds for the annual fair and other events. Its leaders said the costs to maintain the property were too great.

The Island County com-missioners have asked the Port of South Whidbey to consider running the nearly 13-acre property, which includes a camp-ground/parking lot. Port districts are tasked with economic development, and South Whidbey port leaders are in the process of considering the costs and benefits of running the fairgrounds.

The city council unanimously approved a motion to support the city’s future involvement and “place at the table” for the Island County Fairgrounds, which is largely within Langley city limits.

“The city should be involved,” said Councilwoman Rene Neff.

Free admission at state-owned land

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission announced that Monday, Aug. 25 is a “free day.”

Day-use visitors will not need a Discover Pass to visit any parks in the state system.

State parks on Whidbey Island are Deception Pass, Joseph Whidbey, Fort Ebey, Fort Casey and South Whidbey.

The free day is in honor of the birthday of the National Park Service, which was established Aug. 25, 1916.

Washington State Parks will have two more free days this year: Sept. 27, in recognition of National Public Lands Day, and Nov. 11, in recognition of Veterans Day.

City council previously supported change By BEN WATANABE

South Whidbey Record

The Langley City Council and Planning Advisory Board are at odds over the expan-sion of retail zoning to areas beyond downtown.

City zoning limits retail to the city’s commercial core, largely bound by Anthes and Cascade avenues to the west and east, and First and Third streets to the north and south. The idea, as discussed by city council members Monday, is to keep a vibrant commercial area and limit the disruptions to residents. For example, a high-traffic store may mean regular noise of cars and peo-ple, whereas a doctor’s office is less busy.

At last month’s city council meeting, however, a business owner’s request prompted the council to pursue a zon-ing change. In the late July city council meeting, Sarah Boin requested changing the neighborhood busi-ness zone — areas largely for low-impact, low-traffic services such as real estate offices, doctors, and restau-rants. She contended that if

she could move her outdoor apparel shop from its space on Third Street, where she said rent was higher, to the former Langley lumberyard and Living Green space on Second Street and DeBruyn Avenue, her business may begin to flourish.

That task began with the planning board, an advisory group to the city council, which previously rejected the idea and maintained that denial after Tuesday’s Planning Advisory Board meeting.

Over the past few decades, the building that now houses the popular Sundance Bakery has seen its fair share of busy businesses. At times, retail operated there without much

fuss or stop-work orders from the city, and with little official complaint from neighbors.

“It’s the area that’s had his-toric retail use,” said Director of Community Planning Jeff Arango, adding that parking concerns are mitigated by the history of a “reasonably

good-sized parking lot.” On Tuesday, the day after

Arango proposed that the city council eliminate the neigh-borhood business zones and making them commercial business areas, the Planning Advisory Board recommend-ed to not allow the expansion

of retail. Included in the unan-imously approved motion, however, was a clause that if it were to be added to neigh-borhood business districts, it should be restricted to the very parcels that Boin wanted to use. The planning board will revisit the issue of allowing retail in neigh-borhood business districts as part of the city’s comprehen-sive plan update.

Depending on how the council interprets the plan-ning board’s advice, Boin may not be able to open, dashing her plans to run the store next to the site of her husband Patrick Boin’s upcoming restaurant, the Salish Kitchen.

Some planning board members were concerned that the other neighbor-hood business areas could be developed into strip malls and divert commercial atten-tion to the edge of town. Two of the larger tracts for neigh-borhood business zoning are on the way into and out

of Langley — one on Third Street/Brooks Hill Road near the intersection with Coles Road; the other across from Langley Middle School and including the Langley fire sta-tion and Island Transit park and ride.

The fourth neighbor-hood business area is occu-pied by the vacant Edgecliff Restaurant building and the Langley Motel on Sixth Street and Cascade Avenue.

One part of a lengthier document about the city’s zoning code amendments, the overall changes had the mayor’s approval.

“I think it’s a very progres-sive plan but reasonable,” said Mayor Fred McCarthy.

As part of the city’s zoning code amendments, Arango said the city could hold a pub-lic hearing about the change and others at the next city council meeting, Sept. 15. That would also be the same day as the council’s second reading, at which time it could vote on the change.

Kid-Friendly Pets

By Tresa Erickson

Some pets are better with kids than others, of course. Snakes, for example, generally do not make good pets for kids because of their size and strength. Dogs and cats, on the other hand, often make great

pets for kids, especially more a� ectionate breeds. Following are some tips for selecting a kid-friendly pet and helping kids respect it.

Dogs and cats tend to interact more with people and are more apt to put up with spirited kids. If

you are adopting a pet from a shelter, ask the caretakers what the best choice would be for your household. You want a dog or cat with the temperament to deal with kids.

If you’re looking for a pet that is a little less hands on, hamsters are ideal. A great deal of enjoyment watching a hamster run around its cage, in and out of tunnels and around and around on the wheel.

For parents looking for a pet that is completely hands o� but pure fun to watch, � sh or turtles might � ll the bill. Whatever pet you choose, you must teach your kids to respect it. Kids who respect animals tend to have fewer disastrous run-ins with them. Kids need to understand that pets are animals, and like them, they have preferences. Kids don’t like to be bothered when they are eating, drinking or sleeping, and neither do pets. Kids don’t like to be smacked or teased, and neither do pets. Kids don’t like their spaces to be invaded, and neither do pets.

When teaching kids to deal with pets, supervision

is crucial. Watch them carefully, especially when handling more delicate species like hamsters, kittens and puppies. Kids and pets can go hand in hand with the right teaching. Select a good kid-friendly pet for your household and teach your kids to treat it with care.

Planning board rejects retail move outside downtown


Langley City Councilman Jim Sundberg speaks during the council meeting Aug. 18.

1914 was a big year for the world. Tensions in Europe were high, and the assassination of an Austrian archduke and his wife lit the match for what would become World War I, a bloody conflict that wrought death on a scale previously unimag-inable.

More than 15 million people died the globe over.

Yet despite the horror unfolding in the East, a tiny community on

Whidbey Island was doing something great, not some-thing to be remembered by the world but something that matters. The Freeland Improvement Society commis-sioned the building of Freeland Hall.

While it may seem insignificant, the construction of a single building, it is not. Gathering places like the “big brown building on the hill” aren’t just jumbles of wood, they are the places where history is made.

For 100 years, people have convened under that roof to celebrate birthdays, mourn the loss of loved ones, get married, plan picnics or weigh important issues of the day, such as the First Thursday Club’s discussion of “the harm of wearing long skirts.”

Times and topics change but the building has remained and continued to serve as a gathering place for Freeland to ponder its future. In many ways, it’s been one of the vehicles that has made Freeland the community it is today.

Most small communities have them (the Methodist Church in Langley, the recreation hall in Coupeville, etc.) and they all serve the same vital function of community building. Cherish them, for they aren’t just “historical structures” — they are a part of who we are.

Freeland will pay homage to this important structure this weekend with a celebration of the hall’s 100th birth-day. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, and include a range of activities: games, a raffle of locally made goodies, a beer and wine garden, hot food and a carnival that will include a bounce castle, cake walk and dunk tank.

Admission is free and a shuttle will be run every 15 min-utes from Trinity Lutheran Church to the hall and back, beginning at 10:45 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Freeland Hall is managed by the Holmes Harbor Activities club, and organizers hope the celebration will raise a bit of cash for future events and, most importantly, bring the community together.

Well, that sounds pretty good to me. Count this Freeland resident in.

ResponseNaked appreciation for write-in election coverageEditor,

This is a letter to Reporter Jessie Stensland:

Thank you for introducing me to my public and securing me my 15 minutes of fame, or is it notoriety? Too bad all the write-ins didn’t pal up, one of us could have been a contender.

Does the sheriff have to run every two years? Maybe we will meet again.

DAVE OLINGEROak Harbor

[Editor’s note: Dave Olinger was a write-in candidate for Island County Sheriff in the August primary election. A story about his candidacy in the South Whidbey Record, particularly a

portrait of him holding a rifle with no shirt, made headlines in media outlets across the country].

ElectionsTreasurer thankful for citizens’ supportEditor,

I would like take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Island County who voted for me in the primary election to retain my seat as Island County treasurer. I am humbled by the trust and support given to me by the citizens of Whidbey and Camano Islands.

I do not and will not ever take my position as the Island County treasurer lightly. This is a position of trust and the citizens have shown their trust in me by casting the larg-est amount of votes out of the three

opponents in this race in my name. I pledge to never let you down.

I am proud to be a citizen of Island County. I have and will continue to work for the people by keeping the programs I have started through my office, such as online services to those unable to come in to the office, processing tax payments in a timely manner with the help of volunteers, a computer and software program out-lined in the 2015 budget and allowing Camano residents to pay their taxes at the Camano Annex.

I will keep giving to the citizens of Island County as they have given to me in the past and future. My trust and my word are paramount to the Island County Treasurer’s office. I am privileged to be your treasurer and will work hard to keep your con-fidence in my abilities.

By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record

The first days of South Whidbey Falcon football under new coach Chris Tormey are in the books.

Despite being new to the Falcon program and even to leading high school sports, Tormey is far from a novice. Over the past few decades, he has been an assistant for legendary University of Washington coach Don James and a head coach at the University of Idaho and Nevada, among other professional coaching jobs at Hawaii, Washington State and Wyoming.

Early on after being hired in June, Tormey found the high school job to be differ-ent from the world of NCAA Division I athletics.

“It’s been a lot of fun, a real refresher for me,” he said.

“At the college level, you just show up and coach. Meet with the players and get to the field,” he added.

Falcon football season opened, along with all of Washington state, on Wednesday. South Whidbey has less than two weeks to prepare for its first game, a continuation of its island rivalry against Coupeville, despite the Wolves’ depar-ture to a different league.

Until then — Sept. 5 — the Falcons are busy getting into shape or, for some, fur-ther chiseling their physique

into game-ready form. Facing a new coach, a new

system and a new set of play-ers stepping into vital posi-tions, the Falcons are taking their time before jumping into play drills. Tormey said much of the knowledge has already been shared with players during spring prac-tices in June and at optional conditioning sessions this summer.

“I’ve really been pleased with the preparation,”

Tormey said of the 45 or so players who showed up for the first few days of practice. He expects to have a pro-gram of about 50 Falcons by the first game of the season.

Under Tormey, the Falcons are keeping their long-held saying and attitude of Ohana, the Hawaiian word for family. He’s expanded it to a simple two-word saying that every blue-and-white faithful can understand: Falcon pride.

Trying to build the family bond, Tormey is taking the team some 25 miles north to Central Whidbey for an over-night stay at Camp Casey. The time, said Tormey, will be used for more workouts, team bonding, individual goal setting and leadership development.

“We don’t have anything radically different in terms of the theme. We can rely on the tradition.”

South Whidbey fall sports start Monday

South Whidbey High School athletics return to action in full Monday.

The Falcons begin their cheer, girls soccer, cross country, volley-ball and boys tennis seasons Aug. 25 per Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rules. Football

began its season Aug. 20, though first-year head coach Chris Tormey has been busy with camps and an open gym/weight room condition-ing program all summer.

Athletic packets were due Aug. 21 for athletes to participate on day one, but may be turned in late to the high school’s athletic office. Forms can be downloaded at www.sw.wednet.edu/Page/542 or picked up at the athletic office, 5675

Maxwelton Road, Langley. Football participation costs $90,

and all other sports cost $75. An additional Associated Student Body card, which admits students to sporting events and other activities, costs $25.

Players are required by the state to have 10 practices before they can compete in a game.

Strolling along the Possession Beach Waterfront Park in Clinton on Thursday, James Hauser holds a 5-pound silver (coho) salmon he caught from shore. He said he was taking it to a friend. Live herring was the 15-year-old boy’s bait of choice, and other anglers should take heed. He claimed to be a coho master, saying he landed 39 last summer, most of them being caught from the beach. Silver salmon fishing is picking up around Whidbey Island, with a second-hand report from The Fishin’ Club President Kevin Lungren that Lagoon Point beach anglers are seeing regular action.

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Freeland will host a nine-month sexuality education program for seventh, eighth and ninth-grade students starting next month.

The program, entitled Our Whole Lives (OWL), is non-religious and all-inclu-sive, according to director Ginger White. Learning objectives include an under-standing of justice, feelings, sex and sexuality as well as respect for oneself and others.

“It is a very comprehen-sive and progressive class in human sexuality,” said program instructor Gene Berg, whose two sons took part in the program in the early 1990s.

“It was just great for them. They were a little indifferent about going to Sunday School but once they got into this they bond-ed with their peers and it was like magic to them, just wonderful,” said Berg.

According to White, a major component of the course is learning to com-municate about sexuality in a healthy and respectful manner.

Ruth Richards, program instructor, noted that there will be a mixture of talks and activities.

“It offers the kids opportunities to do a lot of exploration on their own terms, at their own pace. There is huge emphasis on acceptance,” Richards said. “If someone is afraid to say something, they are not going to be forced to. On the other hand if they really want to say something, it is invited.”

Berg and Richards emphasized that, although there is a basic structure to the class, the students lead discussions with guidance from the instructors.

“It’s so much beyond sex,” White said. “It’s about helping them develop their [religion-neutral] values and their principles and their ideas about what sexu-ality is and what feels right to them and what doesn’t so that they can make good choices.”

The class consists of approximately 27 90-minute sessions, most of which take place on alternating Sunday mornings and evenings along with three

overnight stays. The cost is $75 and scholarships are available. Parents may attend one of two orienta-tion meetings on Sept. 12 or 13. The program will begin on Oct. 13.

Collateral damage: poet discusses trauma through poetry

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

Linda Beeman spent much of 2011 sleeping with her iPhone on her chest.

The sun would be up in Kabul as the moon shone over Whidbey Island; her loved one, a deployed soldier who had confessed to Beeman this war was “one too many,” was in a world she was unable to access, both physically and emotionally.

“In 2011, p e o p l e on South W h i d b e y would often say ‘We don’t know any-body fight-ing these wars.’ I didn’t a n t i c i p a t e being the exception,” said Beeman during a read-ing from her book “Collateral Damage” Thursday after-noon at the Oak Harbor Library.

Beeman, an award-winning poet, Whidbey resident and friend of a soldier who con-fessed to Beeman he suffered from post-traumatic stres dis-order, turned her stories and those of others into a book of poetry about the many facets of the conflict in Afghanistan.

The purpose of her read-ing, she said, was to give the audience a chance to discuss and reflect upon “uncomfort-able issues.”

“The sentiment ‘we don’t know anyone’ betrayed the fact, I think, that we weren’t looking very hard,” she said.

According to Greg Stone, president of the Whidbey Veterans Resource Center board and veteran of 34 years, there are 13,000 veterans in Island County, the most vet-

erans per capita of any county in Washington.

After Beeman’s reading, Stone gave a brief presenta-tion outlining the data about veterans’ health concerns, benefits and options.

According to the National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, approximate-ly 7 to 8 percent of the United States populace will experi-ence post traumatic stress

at some point in their lives. Approximately 10-18 percent of soldiers who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan are likely to develop post traumatic stress.

“There have been more suicides than battlefield fatali-ties in the last 13

years,” said Beeman. “We are not helping [soldiers] much, in part because we don’t know how.”

For Beeman, the war, the people involved and the consequences for veterans became personal.

While she attempted to console her friend, she said, “My messages became more demands on an overwhelmed mind. ...I watched as some-one I admired and then loved committed a slow motion emotional suicide. My strug-gles to understand his situ-ation made me hyper-aware of the stories coming out of Afghanistan.”

To cope with the emo-tions these stories evoked, Beeman turned to her expressive medium of choice: poetry. Through the poems of “Collateral Damage,” Beeman discuss-es war on a personal level, through the eyes of individu-

als including soldiers like her friend and others such as Malala Yousafzai, a teenage Pakistani education activist who survived after being shot in the head by a member of the Taliban in Oct. 2012.

Both Beeman and Stone concurred that the discus-sion of issues such as men-tal health and post traumatic stress are essential to the recovery of suffering veter-ans, many of whom may feel ashamed to talk about their experience.

Audience members were invited to discuss the poems, war and PTSD post-reading,

at which point four audience members piped up to state their own struggles, opinions and stories.

Beeman will read at the Clinton Progressive Hall at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23. “Collateral Damage” is avail-able for purchase at the read-ing, with all proceeds ben-efiting the Whidbey Veterans Resource Center.

Kate Daniel / The RecordLinda Beeman reads from her book of poems entitled “Collateral Damage” at the Oak Harbor Library Thursday afternoon as Greg Stone, president of the Whidbey Veterans Resource Center, looks on. Beeman’s poems deal with subjects surrounding the Afghan war and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

“I watched as someone I admired and then loved committed a slow motion emotional suicide.”

These are gourmet quality products, 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 model. 7 Generations will also offer mobile butchering services to island farmers, and they’ll be the only Whidbey-based com-pany to do so.

Mount Vernon-based butchers offer the same service, 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 opportunity 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 regular off-island butch-er does a good job, but 7 Generations is local and sup-porting Whidbey businesses is important, he 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 fam-

ilies 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 outfit-ted a refrigerated truck to provide 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 before 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 machine.’”

Finally, the shop will process wild game for South Whidbey’s hunting community. They can’t accept poultry, but deer, elk and other big game are welcome. It’s expected to be a big part of the business.

Greg Gilles confirmed that he will continue to operate Kamera & Gilles with his busi-ness partner, Dennis Kamera. He said they’ve earned a good name in the county by working hard and treating people fairly, values he plans to apply to 7 Generations.

“It’s all about doing a good job,” he said.The business has one last permit to

obtain, which is expected to take about two weeks. For more information, visit www.7generations-artisan-meats.com.

cial situation. It was unveiled in June

that Island Transit had completely depleted its reserves after the comple-tion of its new state-of-the art transit hub and didn’t have enough money to pay its bills. Several routes were cut or limited and 22 staffers were let go.

“I find this to be extremely optimistic,” said Transit Board member Jim Campbell of the six-year plan. “Something can go to hell in a handbasket real fast. We don’t have a plan if it fails.”

Executive Director Martha Rose assured the board and residents that federal and state grants would help the agency stabilize, but many voiced skepticism that her plan would not pan out.

Rose said that grant money that will start to materialize in 2015 will “go a long way in getting us back on track.”

However, at least one grant will not be applied for until November and is not completely guaranteed, according to Rose.

“What are the chances for actually getting (the

grants)?” asked Gary Ray. “Is this a pipe dream or is it realistic?”

“It’s very realistic,” Rose answered.

Board member Jim Sundberg seconded Rose’s optimism, stating that it’s possible that in watching the budget, Island Transit could be in better shape than what is currently pro-jected.

“If we are more suc-cessful than we thought, we may be able to restore services sooner than we thought,” Sundberg said.

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she wanted to reopen the agency’s service cut deci-

sions because the board was not allowed to provide direction.

Price Johnson said the unincorporated parts of South Whidbey, which lies within her district, are “carrying the brunt” of the service cuts.

And with the school year starting, Price Johnson said that South Whidbey fami-lies rely on bus services for after-school programs.

“I’m not comfortable about this,” Price Johnson said. “I don’t believe that we as a board have had those discussions on a policy level.”

Restoring any cuts to paratransit service for the disabled is at the top of the agency’s priorities, Rose said, and that she is work-ing one-on-one with clients to make sure they get to their critical appointments.

“We want them to get their services, and we’re bending as far back as we can,” Rose said.

Some board members said they were confused by the financial documents placed before them during the meeting.

“We’re getting so many different forms in so many different formats,” Clay said. “It’s all confusing. I want something that doesn’t take a mathemati-cian to figure out. That’s been part of the problem.”

Sundberg agreed that the board needed to focus on “summarizing data that makes it more clear for us and the public.”

Clay explained that while the board still does not have a clear picture of what happened, they are in the process of finding out.

“I don’t think the board is 100 percent aware of

what’s going on,” Clay said. “The board was not made aware of the irregularities that have been uncovered. For a period of time, our expenses exceeded our revenue. How that was done, we don’t know.”

Rose maintained that she was “not aware” of the financial problems.

Rose fired former finance manger Barbara Savary after the financial problems came to light. Sandra Kuykendall, who preceded Savary in the role, returned recently to Island Transit.

“The whole budget

process was misstated to the board and Martha,” Kuykendall said. “They were under an assumption that was not true.”

The state audit started last week and will continue for approximately 30 days, Clay said. He added that at the completion of the state audit, he would like the board to consider a foren-sic audit as well.

The board’s newest appointed member, Island County Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan, was absent.

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 delivery 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.

the agency’s money troubles and had been dipping into investment reserves secretly to cover expenses.

But according to Savary, who could not be reached for direct comment, that “is patently false.”

“Over the course of the last few years, I became increasingly uncomfortable with decisions made at Island Transit and the effect these decisions were having on the budget,” wrote Savary, in the letter to the board. “I repeatedly informed her that changes and cuts needed to be implemented to avoid the exact situation that now befalls Island Transit.”

As a result, Savary was already “looking for other opportunities” when the bud-get shortfall became public.

Rose also was aware the agency was using investment reserves to cover expenses, according to Savary.

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

Savary claims that only about $1 million of the origi-nal $6.2 million was used to cover budgetary shortcom-ings, with another $5 million that she claims was used to finish the new transit facility and purchase new vehicles.

“These expenditures were published in the budget and approved by Ms. Rose,” Savary wrote. “I explained to Ms. Rose that without a change in practices, our reserves would be complete-ly 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 plus $800,000 for operating costs.

In her letter, Savary said Rose initially asked her to take a demotion but Savary decided instead to give a two-week notice.

During her last two weeks, Savary claims that Rose asked her to stay on, but that she declined. Then before the completion of her final two weeks, Savary claims she was handed a termina-tion letter by Rose and was denied accrued vacation pay.

Savary also countered Rose’s claim that she had left unpaid bills in her desk after her departure.

“There is no basis for mak-ing this statement,” Savary wrote. “I have never know-ingly put invoices in my desk. Following my departure, I was contacted on several

occasions by Island Transit staff for assistance on vari-ous issues. Never once was I asked about invoices found in my desk.”

Rose “created liability” for Island Transit when she made false statements, Savary wrote. For that rea-son, Savary said she has con-sulted with lawyers but did not indicate if she plans to sue the agency.

Lydia Ferguson, who drove a bus for Island Transit for 15 years until April, said she has a hard time believing that Rose wasn’t aware of the agency’s finances.

“There was nothing, not one penny, that Martha didn’t know about,” Ferguson said. “She was very much in con-trol of everything and any-thing that happened at Island Transit.”

Ferguson, an Oak Harbor resident for 25 years, said she left Island Transit of her own choice, but expe-rienced some health issues and was using her Family Medical Leave Act time prior to deciding not to return. Ferguson admits she wasn’t super close with most of the office staff, but she saw and heard what was going on.

“I simply don’t understand how she can say that she wasn’t aware,” Ferguson said. “It was Martha’s way or the highway.”

Ferguson added that she honestly believes Rose’s intentions were good and that she is committed to Island Transit, but that hubris may have gotten in her way.

“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 Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, who also serves on the transit board, said she has been advised by legal counsel not to comment on the “possible litigation” in reference to Savary’s letter.

However, Price Johnson maintains that finding out what happened is important and looks forward to the results of the audit.

“My main focus is mov-ing forward—correcting the structural deficiencies, restoring Island Transit’s fiscal health and preserving this vital service for our com-munity,” Price Johnson said via email.

Rose said Tuesday that she had not seen Savary’s letter and had no comment.

Island Transit, with a $12 million operating budget, is an independent agency over-seen by a board of directors. It offers fare-free transit and is funded by a nine-tenths of 1 percent sales tax and grants.
