Apple concedes Whidbey map errors, promises fixBy JUSTIN BURNETT

South Whidbey Record

After three years of complaints, tech giant Apple Inc. acknowledged two major Whidbey Island errors on its mobile map program this week and promised to have at least one of the problems fixed within

two months.Island County Commissioner Helen

Price Johnson broke the good news late Thursday afternoon with a call to The Record, saying she’d been contacted by a company representative and assured the Langley issue was being addressed.

“He said it would be fixed before May 1,”

Price Johnson said.The Whidbey error is also being tackled,

but it wasn’t immediately clear whether it would be fixed within the same timeframe.

Apple Maps, a navigational program that comes built-in to mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads and laptop computers, cur-rently says Langley and Whidbey Island are

both located on Hat Island, a small privately owned isle located in Possession Sound between Everett and South Whidbey. Directions to either destination instruct drivers to take a small passenger-only

Parents object, challenge schools records policy

By JUSTIN BURNETTSouth Whidbey Record

A South Whidbey School District policy to name online the requestors of public records may be a violation of federal student privacy laws.

Open government champions have expressed concern that the policy may run afoul of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, commonly referred to as FERPA. The rules protect student education records from public dis-closure, and apply to all schools that receive U.S. Department of Education funding, including South Whidbey.

Several parents have now joined those raising concern about the policy, specifically its implica-tions concerning FERPA, and they’ve either already taken or are considering legal action against the school district. Superintendent Jo Moccia this week confirmed that the district’s online document has been modified to reflect some of those concerns, but that there is disagreement about whether a FERPA violation has actually occurred.

“The district disagrees with the legal interpretation,” she said.

Completely separate and auton-omous from the state’s Open Public Records Act, which allows the publication of requestors iden-tities, FERPA prohibits the release of records to anyone but adult stu-dents and parents. The problem is they are different sets of rules with different requirements, and that means the requests can’t be handled the same way.

Specifically, listing FERPA requestors with those who have asked for records under the state records act is not permit-ted, according to Michele Earl-

Hubbard, president of Allied Law Group and one of the state’s lead-ing open government attorneys.

“If they are treating these as the same thing, they are breaking federal privacy laws,” she said.

Earl-Hubbard is vice president of the Washington Coalition for Open Government, a non-partisan and non-profit organization that works through the courts and the state Legislature to defend and strengthen Washington’s open government laws.

The school’s online document, first posted in December, listed the identities of requestors who voluntarily gave their names, what they asked for and the estimated cost to the district to satisfy the request. It listed people who made state records requests, but also at least two parents who asked for student documents.

Both say they asked school district officials to remove their names and the details of their requests, but changes weren’t made until this week. The modifi-cation came in the wake of Clinton residents Mark Helpenstell’s and Tisa Seely’s reading of a letter from their attorney to the school board at the group’s February meeting.

They alleged that identifing Helpenstell online violated a number of statutes, but particu-larly FERPA. Boiled down, they contend that in a small commu-nity like South Whidbey it all but named their child. Also, listing the details of such requests alerts the public to the existence of certain kinds of records.

For example, if a parent asks for disciplinary records and the request is published then the gen-

Clinton landslideBy BEN WATANABE


A large slide of earth and trees crashed into a Clinton beachfront cabin, knocking it off its founda-tion and forcing Island County to restrict entry and occupancy.

In late February, a rush of mud, clay, water, trees and brush slid from a 200-foot high bluff and down toward Puget Sound, wrecking one Campers Row Walk structure and filling another with sediment. Both are owned by the same family.

There were no injuries or fatalities from the slide. The two buildings have since been red tagged

by county regulators, meaning they may not be entered for safety reasons. They belonged to the Wood family, siblings who were out of town when

the mudslide occurred. Mud accumulated high enough to reach the bluffside eaves of the first story of the northern-most cabin.

“I haven’t dared go up there,” said owner Frances Wood, who writes The Record’s Whidbey Birding column.

“There’s been such a long history of family times there it’s frankly hard to imagine that that’s gone,” she added.

Island County restricted occupancy after a geo-technical expert reviewed the site Feb. 26. On Feb. 27, Island County posted the red tags on the exterior of the buildings, which are surrounded by an increasingly thick flow of sticky sediment.

On a recent Wednesday afternoon, a dozen or so brightly clad South Whidbey Academy middle schoolers buzzed about on one side of Timmie Sinclair’s “bat cave” chattering, problem-solving, labeling and affix-ing. On the opposite end of the classroom, a group of nine high schoolers clad in black Robotics Anonymous T-shirts concentrated a simi-lar, though somewhat more complex, project.

The students are all a part of South Whidbey Academy’s Underwater Robotics Program. Students who have completed the middle school level robotics class may apply to be a part of Robotics Anonymous.

The program provides middle and high school stu-dents a chance to delve into science, technology, engi-neering and math (STEM) with hands-on projects aimed

to solve real-life problems. The program, now in its

third year, is seeking funding in order to continue.

The class is led by volun-teer Timmie Sinclair and is funded entirely by grants and donations, including a dona-

tion from the South Whidbey Schools Foundation.

Sinclair noted that the group is very thankful for donations from community

members, but said that the majority of their supplies is purchased with money from her own pockets, or fur-nished from her own stores of materials.

Though the group holds periodic seasonal fundrais-ers, they also have an ongo-ing crowdsourcing campaign. As of Thursday evening, they had raised $106 of a $15,000 goal.

Each year, the students design and build robots which they then take to the Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center’s International ROV Competition which takes place in Newfoundland, Canada.

MATE “missions” are modeled after real-world oce-anic issues. This year, teams are focusing on the arctic, tackling problems such as the melting of polar ice caps

and rising sea levels. Groups are divided into

beginner, intermediate and advanced levels with the dif-ficulty of the missions suited to each.

“Technology is the future,” said seventh-grader Sarah Rosenberger. “It’s not going away, even if we wanted it to.”

In constructing the robots, students use recycled mate-rials; all electric elements are biodegradable and do not contain hazardous sub-stances.

Sinclair noted that the focus of the competition is on education, innovation and community. Students encour-age and support of one anoth-er, even those on opposing teams.

In addition to an array of STEM-related lessons, the

program also encourages students to think as entre-preneurs.

According to parent Emily Uhl, whose 11-year-old son Simon Uhl is participat-ing in the program for the first time this year, Sinclair’s method of designating team “CEOs” and “parsing out” work requires students to take ownership and “sink or swim” based upon their own drive.

“It’s good life skills,” eighth grader Sabrina Carey said.

SWA underwater robotics program seeks funding

Marina access meeting delayed

A public informa-tion presentation about options to move people between South Whidbey Harbor and Langley’s commercial area has been pushed back.

Originally, city officials had hoped to host the meeting in late March. The city council had even selected a date during a Feb. 26 workshop.

But Director of Community Planning

Michael Davolio said those putting together the presentations needed more time, and the tenta-tive date was moved to the second week of April. An exact day has not yet been determined.

Davolio said the meet-ing would still be targeted for a weekday night to ensure a high volume of public participation and attendance.

Directors will attend conference

Five hundred school board directors, super-intendents and other

education officials from around Washington will meet on Sunday, March 1, for the annual legislative conference.

At this event, officials will discuss and support proposals adopted by the Legislative Assembly and hear from representatives such as Governor Jay Inslee, Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn and the Office of Financial Management Director David Schumacher.

According to the Washington State School Directors’ Association website, it is an oppor-tunity for school board officials to hear the latest updates on budget and policy issues from each political party and to net-

work with colleagues. The conference is host-

ed by the Washington Association of School Administrators and the Washington Association of Business Officials.

Free parks day for 102nd birthday

In honor of Washington State Parks turning 102 years old, visitors can enjoy all state parks for free Thursday, March 19.

More than 100 parks, trails and recreation sites are run by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. Whidbey parks include: South Whidbey State Park, Fort Casey, Fort Ebey, Joseph Whidbey and Deception Pass.

March 19 is the third of 12 planned no-fee visits to state parks, which typi-cally require a Discover

Pass for entry and use. “These free days are a

great way for people to explore a new park or return to an old favor-ite,” said Commission Chairwoman Pat Lantz of Gig Harbor, in a news release. “Once people realize just what they have in Washington state parks, we hope they con-sider buying a Discover Pass. Revenues from the pass are so important; they help keep our parks open and accessible.”

For more information about Discover Pass, visit www.DiscoverPass.wa.gov.

10 properties not billed, one since July 2012By BEN WATANABE


An accounting error by Langley Public Works led to 10 properties receiving free sewer service, one as far back as July 2012.

Once discovered by Utilities Supervisor Randi Perry, who went through each account while work-ing on the Langley Comprehensive Plan update, $337 bills were sent out covering one year of base sewer service, even though some technically owed more. The decision made by Langley Public Works was an acknowledge-ment of its own culpability.

“It’s embarrassing when government makes a mis-take,” said Public Works Director Stan Berryman. “I guess government is like everybody else, it does hap-pen.”

Langley was legally advised it could not waive the costs because it would be a gift of public funds. The unexpected billing,

however, drew the ire of resident Monica Guzman. She runs a bed and break-fast in her family’s home on Park Street and brought up the issue during Monday’s city council meeting.

She was charged more than $700 ($337 of it was the delinquent charge) after not paying sewer fees as part of her combined city utilities bill for two years. More than the cost, which Guzman said was no small thing, she criticized how it was handled by Berryman.

In January, Guzman said Berryman called her and asked her a handful of ques-tions about her residence

and business. At no point, said Guzman, did he inform her of the delinquent pay-ments.

When a bill for about $680 came in the mail, she was floored.

“I had no idea. I was paying my bills regularly,” Guzman said in a phone interview Thursday.

“I’m not the kind of moron that doesn’t pay the bills,” she added, citing a recent bill that listed water, stormwater and a utility tax, but excluded sewer.

Berryman, for his part, said he thought he had informed Guzman of the issue and the oncoming debt.

After being out of the state in February, Guzman said her daughter and grandchild arrived home Feb. 24 to find the water was shut off. That was especially disconcerting because Guzman thought she had an agreement with the mayor to sort out the problem when she returned in March.

“It is totally, totally, out of line,” said Guzman, who also volunteers on the city’s Civil Service Commission.

“The way it was handled, it was wrong,” she added.

Berryman did not know how the mistakes were made, or even when. Some turnover in public works, which has seen three d i f f e r e n t directors in three years, may have led to the mis-take, which Berryman cat-egorized as an accounting error.

Another possible reason for the flap could be that most residents do not dis-tinguish between storm-water and sewer. Langley has dedicated lines and has different charges for each utility.

A similar issue happened years ago, Councilwoman Rene Neff said after Guzman’s public address to the council March 2.

“This is the second time since I’ve been on the coun-cil,” she said.

The Guzmans’ plight drew Neff’s empathy and interest. The councilwoman asked city staff to look at ways to address delinquent bill issues other than shut-ting off utilities. Rules for

delinquent payments are laid out in the Langley

Municipal Code and include the d i s c o n t i n u a -tion of service if accounts are 30 days late after being mailed. Changing the way shutof fs are handled or authorized didn’t make sense to Berryman, who

said typically two or three properties go through the process each month since being hired in Langley.

“The system we have is pretty fair,” he said.

“It’s effective because most of the people will come in and pay their bills,”

he added. Guzman said when she

writes checks for her utili-ties bill, she rarely looks at the full forms after having paid monthly for years.

“I don’t ever recall look-ing at the bill’s itemized form,” she said.

As a means of avoiding future mishaps, Berryman said city staff is taking a closer look at its account-ing program and entries. By making sure properties are entered in correctly, the city can avoid future prob-lems such as this.

All of the delinquent sewer bills have been paid.

ResponseHospital spotlight is welcomeEditor,

Kudos to Whidbey News Group staf fers Jessie Stensland, Michelle Beahm, and South Whidbey Record’s Justin Burnett for shedding light on recent activities at Whidbey General Hospital.

The imminent change-over of CEOs at our public hospital provides a historic opportunity to reverse a decade-long slide and return the place to being a “patients first” facility. This simply won’t happen unless our community papers are relentless in demanding that the hospital board members cease their prac-tices of non-transparency, cover-ups and special inter-est dealings.

It’s wonderful to see new blood, including in local editorial offices, exposing rather than assisting the WGH administration in its misdeeds. Keep it up—and you will literally be per-forming life-saving servic-es for our community.

Let’s all welcome new CEO Geri Forbes as well. She has publicly pledged to set a new tone, usher in a new era of openness and rebuild a cohesive leader-ship team. Let’s hold her to that and lend her the support she’ll need in this challenging undertaking.

City needs to turn “unblinking eye”Editor,

I am thrilled that the city is still considering a funicular to whisk visitors uphill from the marina. At last, our circumference-

challenged sailors will be freed from the shackles of gravity!

Still, I have some doubts. We already spent $2.4 mil-lion on a marina expansion, do we really need to lavish another half million on our suffering yacht owners?

And is it really the city’s job to continually prop up the low-wage tour-ism industry? Maybe, just maybe, is it time for city hall to turn its pale, unblinking eye in another direction? A direction that involves making Langley a little more family friend-ly? You know, with boring stuff like sidewalks, play-grounds and middle-class jobs?

ThanksMartial arts biz kicks 10 yearsEditor,

It seems like only yes-terday that I moved to Whidbey Island with my two kids and a dream: To open a dojo (karate school)

and help every student that walked in my door achieve their black belt dreams.

In that time we have accomplished so much. We have awarded over 45 black belts to hard work-ing students, done beach clean ups, trail clean ups, nursing home Christmas card drives and visits, dem-onstrations, children’s day and parades. Our black belts have done projects to help woman’s shelters, homeless teen shelters, raise money for children overseas, fundraisers for Good Cheer, WAIF, food drives, self defense semi-nars, classes at the high school for teenaged girls, and that’s just touching the tip of the iceberg.

Our sensei was named a hometown hero by the South Whidbey Record after being here only two years! She has received the Ruby award from the Soroptimist for her work with self defense classes for woman and girls. And we are just getting started.

We want to say “Thank you” to all of our students who continue to make this

world better with every random act of kindness they do. Here’s to anoth-er 10 years of black belt excellence.

Volunteer of the year says thanksEditor,

I would like to express my thanks to the Island County Marine Resources committee, Island County Beach Watchers and Washington State University Extension for the “Jan Holmes Volunteer of the Year” award that I received at Sound Waters in February.

There are so many volunteers who work to preserve the marine life around Whidbey Island and the Salish Sea. I was lucky to be chosen for doing the work that I enjoy immensely.

Road looks long, but Island Transit finally heading the right way

Editorial

While Island Transit clearly has much to do to rebuild the bus system — and the public trust — we are encouraged by interim IT Director Ken Graska’s grasp of the job ahead.

Beyond the financial mess that led to the departure of the previous executive director, we are learning there’s an aging fleet of buses.

Some of the vehicles are inoperable and unusable.Those will need to be dealt with.There’s also the issue of grant money that may

have been used improperly to pay for gazebos at the new transit center. That’s funding that may need to be returned to the government, according to Graska.

Graska is right in saying that these and other fixes cannot happen overnight, but it appears he is clear on what needs to be done.

Since major cuts last summer, Island Transit has reinstated 70 percent of the axed bus services. Graska is also cleaning up shop, addressing items needed for surplus and figuring out how to recoup some costs.

Under the interim executive director and mostly new board of directors, Island Transit seems to be eliminating unnecessary weight, finding ways to bring in additional funding and bringing about some semblance of order and accountability.

Getting back to the basics is exactly what the transit agency must do, according to Graska, and we agree.

It took years for IT to get into its current condition. Fixing the myriad of problems won’t happen over-night.

The public needs to be open to changes to the transit system, including advertising on the buses and charging of fares.

Such major changes won’t happen without IT first holding public meetings, said Graska.

It’s refreshing to hear that, after years of little-to-no accountability or communication with the public, IT officials are now prepared to embrace the notion of public involvement.

IT is still on a bumpy road to recovery, but at least it’s finally headed in the right direction.

A year and a half later, he decided he had enough schooling, falling one semester shy of getting his biology and physical education teaching degree. He opened his own business, HighCountry outfitters, and started taking city folks up in the mountains. Around 1973, he joined the Washington State Ferries, where he served as a captain for more than 25 years and retired in 2005.

Dad started spending summers and weekends on Whidbey Island in the 1960s, when grandpa finished build-ing their lake house, eventu-ally building his own, two doors down.

He loved being up in the mountains on horseback, born to be a cowboy and a

mountain man. You could always count on him showing up at your sporting events, usually coaching. More than anything, he loved being a father and later a grandfa-ther. He was damn great at it, too. His boys came first.

Harvey is survived by his son Jake, daughter-in-law Isha, and grandsons Ryder and Kanin, of South Dakota; son Joel, of Clinton; sister, Jan Kelly, and brother-in-law, Al, of Woodinville.

At his request, we will have a potluck celebrat-ing Harvey’s life at 1 p.m. Sunday, April 12, at Holmes Harbor Rod & Gun Club. Bring some stories.

Roger David Steele

Roger David Steele, a longtime Langley resident, passed away Feb. 28, 2015, while fighting his battle against cancer with his wife of 59 years, Marlene Steele, at his side. Roger was born in Knox County, Ill., March 12, 1930, and was the youngest of five children born to William and Eva Steele. Roger’s family moved to Langley in 1941, and he graduated from Langley High School in 1948.

After serving his country during the Korean War,

Roger married the love of his life, Marlene Beatrice Braathen. He became one of the longest-tenured loggers on South Whidbey, partner-ing with Paul Furman and logging everything he could from Island and Snohomish counties. Roger and Marlene had five beautiful daughters, Amy Jenkins (Harry), Jeanie Piontek (George), Diana Gadek (Jerry), Lori Jackson (Dave) and Linda Steele. Roger and Marlene also had 11 grandchildren, Chantil Jenkins, Nicole O’Brien, Geoffrey Piontek, Lisa Piontek, Jessica Frank, Jason Gadek (Danielle), Amanda Thompson, David Tegano, Melissa Mather, Reagan Fitzke and Ryan Fitzke, and four great-grandchildren, Dalton and Jameson Gadek and Dominic and Jamie Thompson.

Roger enjoyed playing golf for decades at Useless Bay, his Mariners and Seahawks, and traveling throughout the United States. He loved the casino in Anacortes and his many, many friends and rela-tives.

Roger was preceded in death by his brothers, Chuck and Billy Steele; his sister, Alice Furman; brothers-in-law, Omer Porter and Paul Furman; and sister-in-law, Marion Miller. Roger is sur-vived by his wife, Marlene; his five daughters and their fami-lies; his sister, Jean Porter; and his brother-in-law, Dave Braathen (Toby).

A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 14, at Visser Funeral Home in Langley.

One neighbor, Peter Van Giesen, has regularly mon-itored the growth and mea-sured it at six inches per day. Where there was once a yard is now a shiny gray morass, slowly creeping toward the water. In spots, a trickle of sediment-rich water runs into the sea, streaking the beach with

off-gray. “This whole area is

subject to slides,” said Bill Oakes, Island County Public Works director. “This is a steep, unstable bluff. When we get high groundwater, it tends to destabilize this. It’s all mapped as geohazard.”

This past December, a sudden slide after a par-ticularly wet wind storm obliterated a cabin next door to the Woods and damaged the their build-

ing as well. The destroyed cabin’s wreckage remains covered with mud and scat-tered over the bulkhead toward the water.

The county issued notic-es to the beach homes from Hastings Road to 6106 Camper’s Row Walk that the bluff is “demon-strating higher than usual instability.” The cabin just south of the two red-tagged structures was given a yel-low tag, limiting entry to daylight hours and only in

short periods of time. “It continues to move

and we’ve cautioned everybody to stay away from these … They con-tinue to ooze,” Oakes said.

One of the Wood family’s cabins will need to have a structural evaluation if they wish to live there dur-ing the wet months, Oakes said. The building, though seemingly intact, is sur-rounded by mud and clay and from outside the floors were covered in at least a foot of sediment.

“The force of nature is relentless,” said Van Giesen, who dealt with a landslide two decades ago at his walk-in community’s cabin.

“The very nature of the beach and the coast is it’s moving,” he added.

eral public now knows that such records may exist.

“Clinton is a small commu-nity and Mr. Helpenstell is well known as a civic leader,” wrote Katherine A. George, Helpenstell’s and Seely’s attorney in the letter to the board. “The school district is violating FERPA in its mis-guided attempt to humiliate records requesters, and pun-ishing a child simply because his parents are trying to oversee his education.”

Helpenstell is a South Whidbey Parks and Recreation District commis-sioner.

George, an attorney with Seattle-based Harrison-Benis, LLP, is also a board member for the Washington Coalition for Open Government. She specializes in state sunshine laws and education.

In her letter, George called the identification of request-ors a “shaming” policy, citing quotes from open govern-ment advocates, including Earl-Hubbard, and school board members in recent coverage by The Record.

In a later interview, she echoed Earl-Hubbard’s con-cerns, saying FERPA and the state’s rules are not the same. She claims Helpenstell and Seely asked for FERPA records but is still being list-ed with people who asked for state records act documents.

“It’s being treated as a public records request and it’s not,” George said.

Moccia acknowledged this week that the district recog-nizes the difference between the two sets of rules and says the two are not handled the same way. People who spe-cifically ask for documents under FERPA are not and will not be included in the online document.

“Clearly, a FERPA request is a FERPA request; it’s dif-ferent,” Moccia said.

She contends, however, that Helpenstell’s request began as a state records request, making his name disclosable. Also, the dis-trict’s attorney disagrees that parent identities are nondis-closable even if they ask for student records, she said.

A description of the records sought may be a dif-ferent story, and out of con-

cern for student privacy, said Moccia, the online document was modified — the descrip-tion now only says, “student records.”

Moccia said she couldn’t help but question the voiced privacy concerns, however, when George’s letter was emailed to newspapers. She also noted that just because a record is requested doesn’t mean it actually exists.

Helpenstell said the online change was a positive step but doesn’t go far enough. George’s letter asked for the description and his name to be struck from the document immediately. As it has yet to happen, he said the next step is to file a complaint with the Department of Education’s FERPA compliance office. If the dispute is still not resolved, they may consider other options, he said.

“I’d like to believe the school board will do the right thing here and we won’t have to explore that,” Helpenstell said.

If a lawsuit was pursued, it’s unclear how much of a case they’d have. Eric Hood, the other parent who asked for students records, recently filed an emergency “motion to protect student privacy” in federal court. The motion, which was filed under seal, was denied, according to court documents.

Hood declined to be inter-viewed for this story.

According to Moccia, the intent behind the policy has always been to keep the board informed about the time and resources dedi-cated to addressing records requests; it’s never been geared toward discourag-ing people from asking for information, she said. Furthermore, the policy itself has generated so much atten-tion that it’s created a work-load that’s taking her away from other, more important matters. She’s now question-ing whether the policy is worth all the trouble.

“I’m spending so much time on this; I’ve got other things to do,” Moccia said.

“From my perspective, I’d rather not do it at all.”

Moccia said the policy and possible changes will likely be discussed at the board’s next meeting, March 25. A workshop is at 6 p.m. and the business meeting begins at 6:30 p.m.

ferry from an Everett marina to the tiny 1.5-mile-long by half-mile-wide island, also known as Gedney.

Apple’s media department has not responded to repeated requests for comment from The Record for this story and others.

Exactly how long the errors have existed remains unconfirmed, but it appears their origins may stretch back to 2012 when Apple stopped using Google Maps for its mobile device Maps program.

Several Whidbey residents and one Bainbridge man said they’ve report-ed the issues to the company dozens of times but with no results.

Langley City Councilman Thomas Gill is one of those who’s been com-plaining about the problems, which he says have been present for three years. He’s reported many issues, and some concerning business loca-tions have been fixed, but he’s never had any luck with the Langley error.

“Trying to get Langley and some parks moved has been like pulling teeth,” Gill said.

The Record published two stories

on the issue in February, one con-cerning the Langley error, which was picked up by at least one Seattle television news station, and anoth-er about the Whidbey error. But it appears it was a letter from the com-missioners that finally did the trick.

The board agreed Wednesday to authorize Price Johnson to contact Apple and ask that the inaccura-cies be addressed. The rep said the commissioner’s request had been received and that technicians were working to correct the errors.

Many other letters sent from mem-bers of the public and other gov-ernment organizations following The Record’s coverage were likely a major contributor as well, she said.

Whatever the case, the important thing is the problem has finally been acknowledged and is in the process of being addressed, she said.

She noted that the Apple represen-tative pointed out that searches for specific addresses and businesses work fine, that only broad searches for “Langley” and “Whidbey” were inaccurate.

Gill has reminded people of the same fact in story comments on The Record’s website, but he said Friday that the general searches can be some of the most important because many of the people who enter them probably aren’t aware of specific businesses or addresses.

As for whether or not Apple will hold true to its May 1 fix, Gill said only time will tell.

“I have no idea, but I certainly hope and pray,” he said. “It’s been three and nothing has happened yet.”

Apple Inc this week alerted Island County that it would address several long-standing Whidbey errors on Maps, the navigation/map program that comes built-in on mobile devices, such as iPhone, iPads and laptop com-puters.

APPLECONTINUED FROM A1

By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record

Todd Peterson’s girls have become unusually early risers.

The longtime Whidbey beekeeper leaned against his truck and glanced at the pile of wooden boxes neatly stacked in the sunny yard of his old farm.

The boxes contain a bee-hive, home to a colony of about 12,000 of Peterson’s bees, which he affectionate-ly addresses as his “ladies.”

The bees don’t leave the hive until the temperature is at least 50 degrees, though they prefer it to be warmer. On Thursday afternoon, an audible buzz emitted from the hive as several of the insects clustered around its entrance and others ven-tured off a ways, perhaps in search of food.

It’s the earliest Peterson has ever seen them ris-ing from their winter rest. Though bees don’t hiber-nate, they remain clustered together in order to maintain a hive temperature of about 90 degrees throughout the chilly winter.

The colony is one of four Peterson tends to on the island. All are honeybees, annually producing a rich and nutritious golden treat for Peterson, his friends and family. Depending on which plants the bees frequent for pollination, their honey will produce distinct flavors and variations in color. On Whidbey, the most popular strain of honey is black-berry.

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, honeybees’ cross-pollination helps at least 30 percent of the world’s crops and 90 per-cent of wild plants to thrive and produce food.

“They’re fascinating crea-tures…extremely industri-ous and beautiful,” Peterson said. “They read the world in a way that I can’t.”

“There is so much in our world that is unpredictable and chaotic,” he added. “The bees are productive and energetic and that is good to be around.”

Peterson began beekeep-ing about 30 years ago. At around the same time, beekeeping pioneers Dan and Judy Harvey moved to a

remote area of the Northern Olympic Peninsula.

Soon thereafter, the Harveys began their research into the unique area honeybee population rumored to have survived despite the drastic decrease in the bee populations inter-nationally and their work to breed “survivor bees.”

On Wednesday, the Harveys visited the Freeland Library to present their research to a packed room of Whidbey bee enthusiasts, including about 30 members of the island beekeeper group, Whidbees, of which

Peterson is a part. Audience members

listened intently as Dan Harvey spoke of his find-ings and his progress. Like Peterson, the majority of Whidbees’ members are greatly concerned with the survival of their most beloved insects.

Sooja Nehrlich, a Whidbees member, said she joined after reading about the struggle of honeybees worldwide.

“I wanted to do my part providing a healthy environ-ment for them,” Nehrlich said.

Kathy Maxwell, also a member and wife of club president Dan Maxwell, wrote in an email to The Record that her husband also takes great pride in car-ing for “his girls.”

“I know it is with great affection even if they do take an intense and rather sting-ing dislike of him,” Maxwell, who is currently away in Arizona with her husband, wrote.

Honeybee deaths, which peaked in the early to mid 2000s, were due in part to widespread Colony Collapse Disorder, as well as the infestation of mites, includ-ing varroa destructors. Though Asian honeybees had developed a resistance to varroa mites, European honeybees had not.

Several other issues such as new forms of bacteria and pathogens and habitat decline further contributed to the devastation of colo-nies.

Harvey has been working extensively to breed survi-vor bees, resistant to mites, pathogens and bacteria. His hives are unmedicated, meaning that he uses natu-ral methods of preventing infestations and contamina-tion. He surmises that the unique survivor bees of the Olympic Peninsula were the descendants of bees early 20th-century homesteaders had ordered from the Sears and Roebuck catalogue. Many of these bees were from Eastern Russia, and

likely developed a resistance to mites similar to the Asian honeybees.

Harvey interbred them with SMR, or suppressed mite reduction bee stock, which had been developed by the USDA in the 1990s due to their hygienic behav-ioral characteristics (they immediately clear out any larvae in the hive which they determine to be sickly or deceased).

Due to the invasion of new problems such as the virus Nosema, the Harveys have experienced several setbacks, but they have also made great gains. In 2012, a study from Denmark deter-mined that, after careful breeding, Danish bees had developed a resistance to the virus Nosema.

Since 2012, the Harveys have only experienced a 10 percent loss in bees each year, compared to a 90 percent loss from 2007-

2011, and are working with researchers and national laboratories to further strengthen their stock.

The Harveys instructed attendees on ways to inspect the health of their own hives and offered information as to purchasing queens bred from survivor stock.

For beekeepers like Peterson, the Harveys offered the ultimate encour-agement. Though he said it is impossible to know whether the bee population can be bolstered to its pre-2000s number, Peterson said he is confident that the num-ber will increase with proper care and continued study.

“It’s a window on the natu-ral world,” Peterson said. “The bees tell you about what’s going on in nature.”
