Whidbey General Hospital officials failed to file complete financial reports with the Washington State Auditor’s Office for three years in a row, a viola-tion of state law.

As part of a special report on local government transparency, the auditor’s office released a list last week of local public agencies that were late in filing the required reports, filed incomplete reports or failed to file at all during the years 2011, 2012 and 2013.

“I hope this report highlights the importance of

transparency and accountability for all local govern-ments, not only in meeting their legal requirements,” Auditor Troy Kelley said in a statement, “but in meet-ing the expectations of the people they serve.”

A total of 11 local government bodies in Island County appeared on the list, but they are all small bodies — water, sewer, cemetery and drainage dis-tricts — except for the hospital and the Island County Emergency Services Communications Center.

Hospital officials did not file financial reports in 2013 or 2012; they filed an incomplete report in 2011.

Whidbey General Hospital has narrowed to three its field of candi-dates for chief executive officer.

CEO Tom Tomasino is stepping down from the position in October, giving him and the board plenty of time to train his replacement

before his departure.With only three candidates in

the running and hopes of making a job offer by the end of January, Commissioner Anne Tarrant, who also serves as board president, said they’re not releasing the names of the finalists at this time.


Plans to fill long-vacant positions in City Hall are a sign that officials feel secure about the economic recovery, according to Oak Harbor Finance Director Doug Merriman.

Merriman said he views the housing market as a key indicator of the health of the economy and the news in that sector has been good on North Whidbey.

“We’re starting to get an uptick in building and construction,” Merriman said. “When you see housing pick up, that’s a good sign.”

Sales tax receipts are also on the increase, he said.

Oak Harbor officials budgeted to fill the city administrator’s executive assistant position this year. The position was left vacant for financial reasons after Karen Crouch, the former executive assistant, quit two years ago.

They also budgeted for an accounting manager in the finance department; the position was vacant for four years.

Ethan Spoo, who doubled as a planner and an economic development coordinator, left the city last year and will be replaced by two people. The Development Services department is budgeted to get a full-time planner, which Merriman said is necessary because of the increase in construc-tion.


Oak Harbor’s RV park on Beeskma Drive is closing for about two and half years, likely beginning in late April.

City Engineer Joe Stowell said the park

will be completely dismantled in order to become a dumping site for an estimated 40,000 cubic yards of dirt to be removed from the location of the future sewage treatment plant on the northern edge of Windjammer Park.

After years of work, city officials expect to break ground this spring on the giant and costly treatment plant.

The good news for RVers, however, is that Staysail RV Park will likely be rebuilt

Despite navigating through numerous problems, Washington State Ferries still manages to be reliable 99.5 percent of the time, accord-ing to state Ferries Assistant Secretary Lynne Griffith.

The newly-appointed secretary fielded questions from Island County commis-sioners Thursday along with other jurisdictions reliant on state ferry service.

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said she agrees that the ferries run so smoothly usually and that it’s easy for residents to get “cranky” when things go wrong because it happens so sel-dom.

Still the ferry system local-ly saw operational problems in recent years, including when the Coupeville ferry was discovered to be running inefficiently and with a “list,” and ramps on the Clinton ferry were manufactured too steep for low-carriage vehicles.

Griffith said she made it her priority to “hit the water first,” spending her first three months with employees on the front lines.

“The fleet is a lot smarter at this than I will ever be,” Griffith said, adding that her ground-up approach will hopefully help her to learn “what really needs attention and what we are doing really well.”

Outreach to staff and pas-sengers is going to be really important, said Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard.

Ferry leadership’s lack connection with its fleet led

to employee “disenfranchise-ment,” Conard said.

“You’ve got some work to do,” Conard told Griffith. “People need to be excited about what they are doing.”

Conard agreed that state ferries 99.5 percent reliability statistic is a message local leaders need to help get out to the public.

Griffith said that she’s got-ten positive feedback about her open-door management style.

“They’ve already said it makes a difference, but then I gotta deliver,” Griffith said.

“You can’t just talk.”Other suggestions by local

leaders included providing more informative ferry alerts, the need to give ferries the same priority as roads and bridges and discouraging the cancellation of a late-night run out of Clinton.

Griffith, who most recently

served as chief executive offi-cer of Pierce Transit, said the fleet only runs with a single spare boat, which poses logistical challenges when boats need routine mainte-nance.

In contrast, bus transit ser-vices are mandated by the federal government to run with 20 percent spare ratio, Griffith said.

“It’s a new thing for me to adapt to. … One boat. It won’t work. We need new boats and we need to keep building.”

Traditionally, the legisla-ture has not favored increas-ing the number of spare boats, but she believes it should be a priority.

“I have to build that case,” Griffith said. “It’s a significant investment.”

Gov. Jay Inslee agrees that the state needs a transpor-tation package but, more

importantly, something that is sustainable long term, said Lacey Harper, a spokeswom-an for the governor’s office.

“We keep falling into the water. We have crumbling roads and vessels we need to deal with,” Harper said.

Price Johnson noted that rates for ferries increased 200 percent since 2000, mak-

ing it difficult for the island’s working population.

“In our community, the recession has had an impact on low-wage jobs,” she said. “There’s a lot less elasticity in those budgets. It’s had a real dampening effect to keep families on island if their pay isn’t increasing but fares are.”

Griffith said she announced an organization restructuring that she believes will help address some of the issues with the ferry system.

“It’s doesn’t mean I’m cleaning house,” Griffith said. “It makes sure we’re as lean and as flat as we can be.”

Upcoming local ferry proj-ects include:

n A May 2-3 service inter-ruption for maintenance at Coupeville.

n Replacement of ferry terminals at Mukilteo and Coleman Dock, funded with $81.6 million in the gover-nor’s 2015-17 budget.

n A fourth Olympic class vessel is expected to be deliv-ered in the 2017-19 biennum, to begin with $86 million earmarked in the governor’s 2015-17 budget.

THE BEST OF

WHIDBEYREADERS CHOICE AWARDS

By RON NEWBERRYStaff reporter

Sometimes, ideas come from the simplest forms of inspiration.

Such as staring out at the water in Oak Harbor and catching a glimpse of the mountains.

The Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce will be unveil-ing a new marketing cam-paign for the city in hopes of attracting tourists that will focus on water, trails, mountains, birds and every-thing else outdoorsy and recreational that is part of the landscape of the city and Whidbey Island.

“Three things rose to the top,” said Christine Cribb, the chamber’s executive director, when discussing a marketing plan that came

together with help from a 15-member committee.

“First is we are an out-doors enthusiast’s paradise. Second, we are a military town that is extremely patri-otic. And third, we are a waterfront community.”

Those three points will be emphasized, along with events, when marketing Oak Harbor to tourists. The fund-ing is a result of a $67,500 grant the chamber received from the city in November for marketing purposes through lodging tax money.

Of that, $50,000 is ear-marked for tourism, while $17,500 is to be used to mar-ket the historic downtown, Cribb said.

“This is the most inten-tional marketing campaign Oak Harbor has ever had,” Cribb said.

The committee, made up of community members, met weekly to discuss ideas and research and to identify how best to market the city to tourists.

Based on their research, marketing will attempt to reach different generations through print and digital advertising with an empha-sis on continually attracting tourists from Canada and Seattle.

With Oak Harbor no stranger to being identified as a military town with the presence of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, the “out-doors enthusiast’s paradise” approach is more fresh.

Mayor Scott Dudley likes it.

“I think we have a lot to toot our horn about, every-thing from fishing to biking

to hiking to bird watching,” Dudley said.

Dudley said Oak Harbor offers an escape from the nearby congestion that comes from heavily-populat-ed cities nearby.

The idea is to lure more of the tourists who visit the Deception Pass State Park, a number that reached 2.7 million in 2014.

Skip LeMay, an Oak Harbor resident since 1992 who is retired from the Navy, said the chamber might be onto something.

“We went to Hawaii on vacation and I had to go back to work to recover,” LeMay said. “I can see coming to Oak Harbor on a vacation and actually going back to work refreshed, wishing

I was still in Oak Harbor doing the things that there was to do.

“I’ve sat at a bonfire in Penn Cove and listened to the killer whales blow at midnight. Just stuff like that happens here. I think there are a lot of opportunities to make this an outdoor desti-nation.”

Heather Carder is hopeful that one day Oak Harbor’s historic downtown will be a vibrant shopping district and tourist destination.

As a business owner, how-ever, Carder said she is no longer willing to wait it out.

This month, after three years, she and Greg Lanza, co-owners of the Noble Horse Gallery, closed their equestrian lifestyle boutique

on Pioneer Way.It was a business deci-

sion based entirely on lack of sales at the retail outlet, said Carder, adding the busi-ness does well online and at equestrian events across the country.

The store returned to 80-acre Wildwood Farm on Happy Valley Road in Oak Harbor.

“When you kind of lose money three years in a row (at the store), you figure it’s probably not a good idea to

stay here,” Carder said.The move also impacts

the Downtown Merchants Association. Carder served as president this past year.

“The bylaws say you have to own a store downtown,” Carder said. “I don’t know who is going to take up the reins.”

Real estate agent Kathy Collantes, vice president of the Downtown Merchants, said she has other commit-ments and won’t move up to president, but added there

are many promising candi-dates.

It’s not a cause for con-cern that another business has closed downtown, but it is a loss, she said.

“It’s sad because Heather and Greg are very active,” Collantes said.

“Their store just contrib-uted to downtown. It was so unique and so wonderful. But I think there are many good, talented merchants down here, so we won’t have a problem finding a

new leader.”Carder used to operate

her store in Seattle and said she understands the cloth-ing, art, jewelry and other items in her store might have been priced too high for local clientele.

Also, the tourist impact downtown wasn’t enough to justify the overhead costs.

“It was hard for people to see past the price tag.”

Carder sees a positive step in Oak Harbor’s recent com-mitment to become a Main

Street city and sees other promising signs with a new restaurant recently opening on Pioneer Way as well as Whidbey Coffee’s expansion project.

But, she said, it was not enough to keep her shop open.

She and Lanza, however, are entertaining other ideas for a business downtown.

“You probably haven’t heard the last from us,” Carder said.

The “Hawk of Steel” was among the most unique Sea Hawkers at Saturday’s rally at Deception Pass.

Lonny Carsten arrived with a 5-pound, steel Seahawks logo in the shape of a Superman symbol sus-pended around his neck.

To complete his outfit, a Seahawks flag rippled in the wind behind him.

“That’s why I had to wear a cape,” said Carsten, who received the emblem as a Christmas gift. “I put it on and said, ‘Now I need to wear a cape.’ ”

If anyone thought his out-fit over-the-top, Carsten said they could “deal with it.”

“It would only be a 49ers fan who would say that any-way.”

The lifelong Seahawks fan was one of approximately 100 people who attended the Whidbey Island Sea Hawkers Booster Club rally Saturday.

Attendees, wearing bright green and blue, waved flags and signs at drivers crossing the bridge. In return, motor-ists honked and waved their support.

The Seahawks’ Super Bowl win last year was “awe-some,” Carsten said, but it wasn’t a surprise.

“They were the best team in the NFL and they are this year too,” Carsten said.

Originally from England, Louise Warwick became a fan of the Seahawks when

she moved to Washington with her Navy husband, Charlie, in 2006.

A longtime rugby fan, Warwick said her transition to football was natural, espe-cially since her husband, a Washington native, has been a fan his entire life.

“The rules are similar, but I’m still learning the rules of American football,” said Warwick at Saturday’s rally.

Warwick said her support for the Seahawks transcends their ability to play football.

“I love what they stand for both on and off the field,” Warwick said.

A second Super Bowl win would be “absolutely amaz-ing,” she said. “It would be great recognition for an amazing team.”

Now in its second year, the rally included added sup-port from Sea Hawkers who drove from Bellingham and Skagit County.

Nicole Baughn, of Bellingham, drove to the event with her son, Levi, 4.

Her family became football fans when her oldest sons started to play football.

“It kind of took on a life of its own,” Baughn said.

Levi said his favorite player

is Russell Wilson because “he’s just the best at playing.”

Rally organizer Michelle Curry said a larger number of people traveled from off island to participate in this year’s rally.

“We have a very unique opportunity with Deception Pass, and others want to join in the fun,” Curry said. “With support from our fellow clubs in Bellingham and Skagit we

all had a great time getting passing cars to honk and show support.

“Go Hawks!” If the Seahawks win this

coming Sunday, clearing the path to the Feb. 1 Super Bowl, Whidbey Island Sea Hawkers Booster Club will hold a final rally Jan. 24 aboard a Clinton ferry.

Joyful time

Orange Project was a success for KiwanisEditor,

Oak Harbor Kiwanis Club’s Santa Orange Project was a great success, according to the excited preschoolers, kindergarteners and first-graders of Oak Harbor.

We would like to thank Wes Worrel, our wonderful Santa, and Greg Saar, who very generously contributed the big, cold oranges for the children. It was a fun and joyful time for all involved.

State leaders need to address climate changeEditor,

Washington state’s legislature convened this week to look at our state’s underfunded education system, our underfunded roads and Gov. Jay

Inslee’s curious proposal to address both by making carbon polluters pay.

Voters understand some things about carbon pollution and the chang-ing climate it causes.

They have heard that, worldwide, 2014 is likely to be announced as the warmest since record keeping began.

They see our ski industry suffering from warmer, shorter winters.

They heard about 2014’s massive scallop die-off near Vancouver Island and heard that local oyster farmers are struggling with our ocean’s new acidity.

Voters mourned the jobs lost when these farmers moved to Hawaii for healthier water.

People know that our beautiful, use-ful salmon face trouble as glaciers and the rivers they feed shrink.

Voters may not fully understand the complex relationship between car-bon pollution, climate change, salmon health and jobs, but they certainly know that something weird is going on with the weather. Voters know that something is very wrong and that the words scientists use to describe it ter-rify them.

Voters want the team of Sen. Barbara Bailey, Rep. Norma Smith and Rep. Dave Hayes to go to Olympia to do something about it.

They want Bailey, Smith and Hayes to fund education, to make roads and ferries better and to do something about climate change.

Inslee’s cap and trade proposal, simi-lar to what is already working in other parts of the country, is one possibility.

A carbon tax is another. Leading conservatives, such as

George W. Bush’s economic advisor, Greg Mankiw, advocate a carbon tax. Such a proposal could be implemented in a revenue-neutral manner, as our neighbor, British Columbia, has done.

Just such a proposal is being pre-pared right now as a state initiative for November’s ballot.

If the Bailey-Smith-Hayes team is unable to sensibly address climate change during this session, voters should do it for them this fall.

OUR VIEWPOINTIt’s time to put back the ‘public’ in public hospital district

Whidbey General Hospital’s handling of the legal case involving Chief Nursing Officer Linda Gipson is deplor-able.

The Island County Sheriff’s office questioned the hos-pital’s public defense of Gipson very early in the investiga-tion, and Prosecutor Greg Banks is shaking his head over the lengths that administrators are going to in order to protect Gipson.

Banks is right in saying the public should be concerned about the conflicting testimony last week by hospital CEO Tom Tomasino and Chief Quality Officer Teresa Fulton.

It appeared hospital administrators are circling the wag-ons to protect one of their own.

Now, Whidbey General appears on a list of public agen-cies around Washington state that failed in recent years to comply with a state law requiring local governments to file financial reports in a timely manner.

Where is the hospital’s board of commissioners? Why isn’t the board stepping in and demanding greater accountability? Why does it seem so clear that the board stands on the side of hospital administration rather than with the citizens who pay millions in taxes to fund the pub-lic hospital?

There’s an old saying out there that goes something like this: If one person calls you a donkey, forgive and forget. If two people call you one, think twice. But if three people say the same thing, it’s time to turn around and look for a tail.

When it comes to a lack of transparency and eroding public trust, Whidbey General is a donkey.

How many people must voice the same questions before the hospital commissioners hear the chorus of valid concerns?

Whidbey General has many fine nurses and physicians, but the facility will never offer the same level of service as its metropolitan counterparts — it’s not designed to. We have nothing but the greatest admiration and respect for those who work in the challenging field of health care.

But there seems to be greater concerns beyond the usual moans and groans about higher costs and limited medical services at Whidbey General Hospital.

Hospital leadership in recent years has become increas-ingly removed and inaccessible. There was the change in the commissioners’ regular meeting time to 7 a.m., an hour that all but assures reduced public attendance and participation, and there’s the newspaper’s constant strug-gle to obtain information from, or even speak directly with, top officials — namely the head guy, Tomasino.

When the Whidbey News-Times seeks answers to the

SEE HOSPITAL, A7

kinds of questions being raised throughout the community, there seems to be a perspective among Whidbey General adminis-trators that the newspaper simply “has it out” for the hospital.

That, to be blunt, is balo-ney. It’s akin to saying the newspaper has it out for Island Transit. We appreci-ate and support both public agencies — but the key word is “public.”

The newspaper and its reporters have an obliga-tion to ask questions — the same ones that people are

asking the newspaper. The newspaper has an expecta-tion that taxpayer-funded entities like the hospital and Island Transit won’t treat those questions as a burden.

As the hospital’s board moves forward in its selec-tion of a new CEO, the issues of transparency, accountability and availabil-ity need to be addressed. The public should be invited to participate in interviews with the final three candidates for the top job, not just a hand-selected few.

It’s time to get serious about putting the “public” back into public hospital district.

HOSPITALCONTINUED FROM A6

Sea stars are suddenly succumbing to a routine virus and dead Cassin’s auklets piling up on our coast having starved to death.

The drought in California is impact-ing food prices.

What is going on?Well, 2014 was the warmest year on

record. Our ocean is warming, sour-ing and rising. It is 97 percent certain that these changes have a human cause. This is in a 1.5 degree warmer world.

We are on track for a 10-12 degree increase by 2100. Not even imagin-able.

This summer in Paris, leaders from 196 countries will meet for another Climate Conference.

For the first time in history, they will not be beginning from scratch because, at long last, the United States showed leadership at the recent con-ference in Lima, Peru.

For the first time ever, the United States has a plan to take on the most challenging issue threatening our future.

One of the most effective ways to meet the challenge, expand the economy and build good, lasting, well-paying jobs is via a carbon tax and dividend approach.

Which is what CarbonWA proposes to put before the citizens.

This bipartisan strategy has helped British Columbia, making it Canada’s strongest economy.

It has not been implemented in the USA because of fossil fuel’s strangle-hold on Congress.

This Washington, however, can lead the way to a healthier, wealthier future and reduce the increasingly destabilizing impacts of carbon pol-lution.

It’s a whole lot easier than trying to vaccinate sea stars, hand feed auklets or wrestle the jet stream into submis-sion.

Response

Name was used without permissionTo Rep. Rick Larsen:

I am writing in response to your let-ter, dated Dec. 18, 2014, in which you stated that I had written you regard-ing jet noise at OLF Coupeville.

I can assure you that I have never written to you or any other member of Congress about any subject what-soever.

And, as a retired Army officer and patriot, I support all of our country’s armed services in every way possible.

I do not appreciate having my name and address being used to promote a cause of some seriously misguided locals, a cause opposed by all patriots. The people pushing this cause have no leg to stand on.

Anyone who has bought property on the island in at least the last 25 years has had to sign acknowledging that we have jet noise here. It’s called the “sound of freedom.”

I suspect theft of my good name for others’ extremely inappropriate and unpopular cause.

Such a theft is both morally repre-hensible and illegal.

The proponents of closing OLF have demonstrated a lack of honor repeatedly, and I seriously doubt any of them has ever served this country for even one day.

It is unfortunate that the persons who contacted you using my name wasted your time, my time and tax-payer money.

I want you and all of Whidbey Island to know I would never support such an anti-military and un-American cause.

GAME OF THE WEEK Oak Harbor High School boys basketball team plays Getchell at home at 7:15 Friday, Jan. 16.SPORTS

WHIDBEY

By JIM WALLERSporrts editor

The Coupeville High School girls and the South Whidbey boys earned bas-ketball bragging rights by completing a two-game sea-son sweep with wins Monday, Jan. 12, in Coupeville in a showdown between the island rivals.

The Coupeville girls won 43-32 and the Falcon boys prevailed 81-48 Monday; each also won Dec. 2 in Langley.

Coupeville finishes its non-league schedule at Mount Vernon Christian Saturday, Jan. 17. The boys play at 4 p.m. and the girls at 5:15.

Wolves use strong finish to nab win

A dominant second quar-ter and a gutsy finish carried the Coupeville (8-4) girls to the nonleague win.

The Falcons, down only 12-10, went cold in the sec-ond quarter, unable to solve Coupeville’s defense.

Two free throws was it for South Whidbey in the period

as the Wolves went into the locker room up 25-12.

While the Coupeville defense was frustrating the Falcons, Makana Stone scored 11 of her game-high 13 points in the period to pace the Wolves’ offense.

In the third quarter, Coupeville took its biggest lead, 31-14.

South Whidbey, which had only 14 points in 21 minutes, then scored 11 points in 90 seconds to make it 33-25 with 1:23 left in the third quarter.

The Falcons (2-8) cut the gap to five, 37-32, with 1:19 left in the game.

From that point, the Wolves toughened and the Falcons faded.

The Wolves, shaky at the foul line all season, showed their mental toughness and sank six straight (two each from Madeline Strasburg, Mia Littlejohn and Stone) to finish off the Falcons.

Stone added 11 rebounds, three assists and three blocks to her 13 points.

Strasburg had 11 points, Kacie Kiel six (and three assists), Julia Myers four,

Monica Vidoni three, Littlejohn two, Hailey Hammer two and Wynter Thorne two.

Falcon boys ride 3-ball to victory

South Whidbey buried Coupeville (3-8) with a bar-rage of three-pointers and heavy pressure on the way to the lopsided win.

The Falcons (4-8) connect-ed on 10 shots from beyond the arch, six coming from Parker Collins, who finished with 27 points.

They also ran a press deep into the game, which frus-trated the Wolves’ offense.

South Whidbey wasted little time setting the tone, scoring 16 points in the first three minutes and leading 25-16 at the quarter.

With the help of four points from Ryan Griggs, Coupeville then made a run, slicing the margin to 27-25 with five minutes left in the half.

That would be the last time the Wolves threatened. A cou-

ple of three-balls by Collins helped South Whidbey go on a 14-1 run that pushed the Falcons to a 45-32 lead at halftime.

The Falcons had a tough

time corralling Wiley Hesselgrave. The quick guard attacked the hoop and drew numerous fouls, lead-ing to 15 free throws. He finished with 14 points, as

did Ryan Griggs, to lead the Wolves.

Aaron Trumbull scored nine points, Matt Shank four, Joel Walstad three and Gabe Wynn two.

Oak Harbor boys fallThe Stanwood boys basketball

team ran to an 88-48 win over vis-iting Oak Harbor Friday, Jan. 9.

The Spartans took advantage of the Wildcats “poor transition de-fense,” according to Oak Harbor coach John Weston, to race to the win in the Wesco North opener for both schools.

Stanwood (1-0, 6-4) led 23-13, 51-30 and 67-38 at the quarters.

Zach Jones led Oak Harbor with 14 points, Dyllan Harris had 12, Ben Fikse six, Diangelo McKin-ney five, Josh Cote four, Preston Rankin three, Christopher Viers two, Jake Sturdevant one and Sean Erskine one.

Oak Harbor (0-1, 1-9) hosts Marysville Getchell (0-1, 3-8) at 7:15 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16.

Cold ’Cats drop gameIn a game where everything

seemed to go right for Stanwood and everything wrong for Oak Harbor, the visiting Spartans de-feated the Wildcats 68-10 in girls basketball Friday, Jan. 9.

Stanwood shot a blistering 61 percent (27-for-44) from the field

and committed only five turn-overs. Meanwhile, Oak Harbor made only three of 26 field goal attempts (12 percent) and turned the ball over 23 times.

Oak Harbor scored six of its 10 points in the second quarter and only one point in the second half.

The Spartans led 40-9 at half-time.

Rashanna Graham scored five points for Oak Harbor, Julie Jansen and Montana Koslowski had two each and Deja Bunch one.

Oak Harbor (0-1, 1-10) goes Marysville Getchell (0-2, 6-6) at 7:15 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16.

Cheer team gets closeThe Oak Harbor competitive

cheer team just missed posting a state-qualifying score at the Har-bor Cheerfest at Gig Harbor High School Saturday, Jan. 10.

The Wildcats, competing against 10 other schools in the non-tumbling division, scored a 51.5. A score of 59 is needed to automatically qualify for the state tournament.

However, regardless of the total, the top 50 scores in the state qualify for the Washington finals, coach Kimberly Cherry said,

and the Wildcats are currently on that list.

Oak Harbor will shoot for a qualifying score at the Win-tercheer Classic at Sammamish’s Skyline High School Saturday, Jan. 17.

Vester wins tourneyJeremy Vester placed first and

four teammates finished third in the Panther Classic wrestling tournament Saturday, Jan. 10, at Snohomish.

Oak Harbor finished seventh out of 16 teams with 86.5 points. Meridian of Idaho won the team title with 205.5 points; host Sno-homish was next with 181.

The Wildcats did not enter wrestlers in three weight classes.

Vester won the 138-pound division and Christian Bertram (126), Dymond Piper (145), Mark Johnston (152) and Jackson Con-stant (285) all dropped semi-final matches and then came back to win in the consolation bracket to tie for third.

The tournament provided “tough competition, which is great as we prepare for state,” coach Peter Esvelt said. “This was our toughest tournament before post-season, so it was great to see more success in our wrestlers.”

Oak Harbor (0-1, 3-4) returns to Wesco North action at Arling-

ton (0-1, 5-4) at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 15.

Then the Wildcats head to Renton at 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16, for their annual trip to the PanCan Duals against Hazen and Liberty.

The match’s purpose is to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer, which claimed the life of longtime Oak Harbor resident Rod Magana, father of OHHS graduate and Hazen coach Rory Magana.

’Cats shine on Sr. NightSending its seniors out on a

positive note, the Oak Harbor High School swim team swamped Stanwood 116-54 Monday, Jan. 12, at John Vanderzicht Pool.

The Wildcats celebrated Senior Night in the final home meet of the season by winning all 11 events and finishing 1-2 in five.

Joe Gorman (200-meter free-

style, 2:18.48; 400 free, 4:53.19) and Micah Geist (100 butterfly, 1:08.11; 100 backstroke, 1:08.65) each won two individual events and swam on two winning relay teams.

Geist, Jose Cabigting, Eric Jen-sen and Dakota Powers took the 200 medley relay (2:07.25); Gor-man, Michael Bukolt, Derek Volk and Powers won the 200 free relay (1:54.64); and Geist, Gorman, Bukolt and Cullen Wood captured the 400 free relay (4:32.67).

Jensen (200 individual medley, 2:39.96), Volk (50 free, 28.72), Powers (100 free, 1:00.43) and Cabigting (100 breaststroke, 1:22.58) added the other Wildcat firsts.

Oak Harbor (4-2) meets Cas-cade (1-3) at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 15, in Everett.

ISLAND LIVINGWHIDBEY

By JUSTIN BURNETTWhidbey News Group

Like it’s done nearly 200 times before, Nichols Brothers Boat Builders chris-

tened a newly completed ves-sel over the weekend.

This simple ceremony, meant to formally welcome and bless a boat into the realm of Poseidon, has been done so many times by the shipyard over the years that it’s practically routine. But the Oscar B, a stout but seemingly insignificant 23-car ferry, isn’t just any boat. It’s special.

It’s was constructed for Wahkiakum County as the replacement vessel for a ferry built by George Mark Nichols in 1961 in Hood River, Ore. A short time later in 1964, Nichols’ son, Frank Nichols, relocated to Freeland and opened his very own shipyard, which would later be taken over by his sons, one of which includes current Executive Vice President Matt Nichols.

So, Saturday’s ceremony was more than a simple chris-tening — it was a celebration of 50 years in business and a reminder of one family’s mark on the shipbuilding industry.

The machine shop

When Frank Nichols moved to Freeland and opened Nichols and Downing Boat Works with business partner Jack Downing, he already had more than 40 years of shipbuilding experi-ence under his belt. The fam-ily had been building boats in Oregon since the 1930s.

But starting out some-where new isn’t easy. The shipyard was nothing like the mega complex that it is today, but was rather a half-acre lot on the shoreline with a single machine shop. Under that roof was a steam engine, which powered every other machine in the shop, and the entire Nichols family, includ-ing Frank Nichols, his wife and their 11 children.

Windows covered by plas-tic and parts of the building lacking flooring, the fam-ily slept in one room with a kitchen in the back.

“It was tough living in those days,” Matt Nichols

said. “But we never com-plained and we all got along OK.”

The fledgling business’ first job was a 42-foot steel beach seiner, commissioned for a fisherman who lost his boat in the great quake that decimated the Alaskan fleet earlier that year.

In a January 1965 inter-view, Nichols told the South Whidbey Record that he hoped the vessel would lead to more business, allowing him to “take over [the family’s] liv-ing quarters for more work space.”

“Maybe, if this boat comes out as well as we hope, that is what will happen,” Nichols said.

Well, it did. Half a century and 184

ships later, Nichols Brothers Boat Builders is a heavy weight among Washington shipyards, employing hun-dreds of workers and dump-ing millions into Whidbey’s economy every year.

Characterized as a medi-um-sized yard that produces a wide variety of vessels, the yard has earned a reputation for quality among customers and competitors alike.

“It would be hard to over-state the value Nichols Bros. has had throughout the years to the maritime industry and our community,” said Frank Foti, CEO of Seattle-based Vigor Industrial. “They’re a quality operation with a commitment to service and industrial job creation.”

And while rocky financial times in recent years have resulted in new ownership, with two generations of Nichols still working at the yard — one in a key leader-ship role — the business remains a family affair.

Economic impactQuantifying a single busi-

ness’ impact to an area’s economy can be tricky and imprecise, but Nichols Brothers is to Whidbey Island what Boeing is to Snohomish County, accord-ing to Ron Nelson, executive director of the Island County Economic Development Council.

“The big impact of Nichols is the number of living wage jobs in a retirement commu-nity,” he said.

Commanding a roster of about 235 employees, the

shipyard is the largest private employer located in rural Island County — not count-ing Boeing at 1,175 — and is the sixth largest overall under Wal-Mart and public agencies such as the Navy base, hos-pital, county government and Oak Harbor School District.

Nichols Brothers, which is now owned by Ice Floe, LLC, declined to release its annual payroll information, but a report issued by the econom-ic development council in 2007, said the company was shelling out about $20 million annually for approximately 200 employees.

Equally important, said Nelson, is that manufactur-ing jobs add a diversity to an area’s economy that provides stability, but it also is a job creator in itself. According to a 2002 report by the state Office of Financial Management, for every manufacturing job, two other positions are created in the surrounding area.

“So take (the total number of jobs) and double that, and you have the total number of jobs that are created by Nichols Brothers,” Nelson said.

Chet Ross, president of the Freeland Chamber of Commerce, added that where

employees live is important. If even 50 percent of Nichols Workers live on South Whidbey, that’s $10 million dumped into the economy every year, he said.

The exact number is unconfirmed, but Matt Nichols said he believes the vast majority, “99 percent,” live on Whidbey Island.

The economic impact of the company’s payroll and sales taxes alone is “major,” he said.

“They are kind of the (financial) elephant of Island County,” Ross said.

Nichols Brothers has seen its share of troubles as well, suffering community criticism for environmental issues and struggling with permit issues in recent years. The yard has since installed expensive water treatment systems that discharge water that exceeds federal mini-mums.

The shipyard faced it’s greatest challenge in 2007 when it filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy and laid off its entire workforce. The finan-cial problems were largely the result of a lawsuit by Hornbeck Offshore Services for defaulting on a contract to build two offshore supply vessels.

In February of 2008, Nichols was purchased by Ice Floe, a limited liability corpo-ration backed by Treadstone Capital Management, L.P. of Dallas and Joseph E. Usibelli, of Alaska, for nearly $9.2 mil-lion.

What’s nextAt the moment, the ship-

yard’s financial troubles seem to be water under the keel. The firm has work lined up through 2016, and employee numbers are holding steady.

Along with the Wahkiakum, the company is partnering with Vigor to build three 144-car state ferries. One is already built, another nearing completion and the third just begun. The con-tract for the final boat alone will bring $26 million for the Freeland shipbuilder.

According to Matt Nichols, another 50 years in business is entirely possible. They’ve made it this far not by luck, but by focusing on quality and staying on top of new technology, he said.

“You have to be prepared and ready to change,” Matt Nichols said.

He maintains that diver-sification is one of the com-pany’s chief strengths. Like

agriculture, shipbuilders have to remain flexible and be able to produce a product that is in current demand. For example, the yard began building fishing boats but made a name for itself as a producer of high-speed catamarans when the market demanded. They’ve built nearly 40 of them.

Its current ferry contract aside, Matt Nichols said pas-senger boat orders are slow but it seems the company can’t build tug boats fast enough. They’ve built at least six since 2006, according to Nichols Brothers website, and are currently working on two articulated tug and barges (or ATBs) for Kirby Offshore Marine. Large, ocean-going tugboats, they operate differently than stan-dard tugs in that they lock into a barge from behind to form a single vessel.

It’s another example of building for the existing mar-ket and staying on top of new technologies. One of the com-pany’s greatest triumphs in terms of producing advanced boats was the construction of the $60 million X-craft for the U.S. Navy in 2005. The vessel can hit speeds of 74 mph and remains in operation today in Florida.

The search executive hired to help line up candidates, Kate Kingsley of KL Kingsley Executive Search, hasn’t confirmed whether the top three candidates notified their cur-rent employers of their search for a new job, Tarrant said.

“They are all gainfully employed and I don’t want to jeopardize their current posi-tions,” Tarrant said.

Keeping the identities a secret “is the best thing to do for everybody,” Kingsley said.

The names and backgrounds of the remaining candidates will be released soon, however. The hospital board is hosting three luncheons over the next week, one for each candidate, to allow members of the commu-nity to get to know them before a final selec-tion is made.

The luncheons are by invitation only.Tarrant said invitations were sent to the

three mayors on the island, a former CEO, a representative from the health department, representatives from the three chambers of commerce on the island, one of the county commissioners and the Whidbey News Group.

The luncheons are Jan. 16, 19 and 22.“It’s all about the right fit,” Kingsley said.

“All the three candidates are qualified execu-tives, and I think it’s just a matter of who’s going to be the best fit.”

The process of narrowing the field of can-didates to three was a long one that started after Kingsley was hired in August.

Kingsley said she received between 25 to 40 resumes. She then worked with a search committee from the hospital, consisting of two community members, two board mem-bers, including Tarrant, a physician and nurse from Whidbey General as well as a private practice doctor.

Kingsley and the committee narrowed the

field to nine candidates to present to the board, which conducted back-ground checks on six of those candidates. After that, four were brought for interviews.

After that, only three remained in the running.

“It’s always a chal-lenge to find the right person for the right organization,” Kingsley said. “We had a very good response to the Whidbey position. So, even though it’s a small entity, I think the loca-tion is one people are

excited about … and think it would be a great place to live.”

The hiring process followed by Kingsley and the hospital is one that Kingsley said she has utilized in past searches for small, public hospitals.

“I’m following what she has done with them,” said Tarrant.

“And I’ve also spoken with their boards, and I’m following the same process that they went through.”

If Whidbey General opts to go with none of the three remaining candidates, it will start the search over again instead of pulling from the same pool of applicants, said Tarrant.

She added the selection process would probably take just as long.

The remainder of the hiring process includes the meet-and-greet luncheons, another round of interviews and a tour of the hospital for each of the candidates.

“We’re hoping to have made an offer by the end of the month,” Tarrant said.


operating expenses for 2015 and a loss of $4.9 million, which will be covered by reserves.

Whidbey General Hospital Chief Financial Officer Frank Hemeon, who started in the position last year, provided comments on the auditor’s report in an emailed statement.

“Whidbey General Hospital is committed to transparency in finances and to meeting all regulato-ry requirements,” he wrote.

Hemeon explained that Whidbey General Hospital, as required by law, conducts two audits each year. One is conducted by state auditors and the others is an inde-pendent audit conducted by Moss Adams.

Both audits are public records and are presented to hospital commissioners.

“In the case of Whidbey General Hospital, the appro-priate audits have been con-ducted in a timely manner but not uploaded to the state

website,” Hemeon wrote.“At no time was this iden-

tified in a state audit as an area of significant concern.”

Thomas Shapley, a spokesman for the state auditor’s office, said that the audits and the financial reports are two separate issues that shouldn’t be confused.

The law requires gov-ernmental agencies to file financial reports with the auditor’s office within 150 days after the end of the fiscal year.

He explained that it nor-mally takes longer than 150 days after the end of a fis-cal year for audit reports to be released; as a result, lawmakers require the timely reporting of finan-cial reports so that more current information is avail-able.

Shapley said the reports are public and are used by state lawmakers, lending agencies and citizens.

“If you live in a district, it’s

pretty tough to hold leader-ship of the district account-able if you don’t know what the numbers are,” he said.

Shapley explained that some of the smaller districts don’t have regular, in-per-son audits, so the financial reports are the only way for the state to look at the books.

This doesn’t apply to Whidbey General Hospital, however.

Tom Shaughnessy, director of Island County Emergency Ser vices Communications Center, said his agency had trouble filing in the past because of a software glitch that has since been fixed.

Whidbey General, ICOM and the smaller districts aren’t alone in noncompli-ance. Almost 300 of nearly 2,000 local government enti-ties have missed the dead-line or failed to file for three consecutive years. Among those are 22 of the state’s 58 hospital districts.

Shapley said audits could have issued official “find-ings” in auditor reports to all the noncompliance enti-

ties, but he said it seemed like too stern of an approach and would have upset many local government officials.

Instead, Shapley said the office issued the report as a more gentle way to coax compliance.

There isn’t a penalty for noncompliance. The audi-tor’s office is a reporting agency, not an enforce-ment agency, Shapley said. “It’s up to the constituents to hold local government accountable.”

According to Hemeon, complying with the law isn’t a simple matter.

“A substantial amount of financial data must be manually reformatted and uploaded to the state web-site,” he wrote. “Attempted uploads are sometimes unsuccessful, adding to the amount of time and resourc-es required to comply with regulations.”

“Despite these obstacles, we will continue to work with the state to fulfill our regulatory requirements at all times.”

Shapley said that his office provides free, in-per-

son, annual classes to local governments with the goal of helping them file their annual reports. Trainers traveled to all 39 counties in early 2014 to train employ-ees and managers repre-senting more than 600 local governments.

In addition, he pointed out that most of the smaller districts, with very limited resources, managed to meet the requirement.

The reports can be simply mailed in, though Shapley said the auditor’s office greatly prefers the informa-tion be entered online.

The Auditor’s Office issued a formal finding against the hospital in 2014.

Auditors found that the hospital made more than $180,000 in overpayments to employees and employ-ees accrued nearly 23 hours of unearned time off in 2012 and 2013.

Auditors found that the hospital had inadequate controls over the payroll system.

The overpayments were repaid before the audit report was issued.

n A total of 11 government bodies in Island County have, for three years in a row, failed to file annual reports as required by law, according to the state Auditor’s Office. Some missed deadlines, some filed incom-plete reports and some failed to file altogether.

Listed in the report are: Admirals Cove Water District, Crockett Lake Water District, Freeland Water District, Holmes Harbor Sewer District, Island County Cemetery District, Island County Drainage District No. 1, Island County Drainage District No. 5, Island County Emergency Services Communications Center, Juniper Beach Water District, Lagoon Point Water District and Whidbey Island Public Hospital District.

bigger and better after the sewer plant is completed, Mayor Scott Dudley said.

“I want to see what we can do to expand it,” he said. “It’s an important money maker for the general fund.”

But some people have concerns. Councilman Jim Campbell and his wife have traveled the entire lower 48 in their RV. He pointed out that the seaside RV park is

very popular and some peo-ple come every summer. He worries that it will be difficult to lure people back after the RV park reopens.

In addition, the park is home to several people, including Navy personnel, who live in RVs.

Rebecca Letendre said she lives in an RV at the park with her husband, Robert Letendre, who’s active duty

Navy. She said she’s disap-pointed that they’ll have to leave.

“It’s nice,” she said. “It’s quiet and everything is in walking distance.”

Still, Campbell said the antiquated electrical system — and to some extent the sewage system — needs to be updated, which will likely happen when the park is rebuilt.

“There is a small silver lin-ing,” he said.

Financial benefits of clos-ing the park are persuasive. Stowell said the city looked into hauling the dirt from the treatment plant project to the city shop on the north end of the city; they estimated that piling the dirt in the RV park, which is adjacent to the proj-ect, would save an estimated $1.6 million.

Much of the dirt will be trucked back to the treat-ment plant site to raise it above the floodplain, Stowell said.

Stowell said that the RV park generates about $129,000 a year in gross rev-enues for the city’s general fund. Since that money won’t

be coming in for 30 months, the sewage treatment plant project will compensate the general fund for the loss of $322,000. Most if not all of that money will come from the city’s ratepayer-funded sewage utility fund.

The future of the RV park is not cut in stone, but that it definitely needs upgrades, Stowell said.

City Administrator Larry Cort is working on a master plan which will help define the future of Windjammer Park and the RV park.

“This could be a catalyst for change,” Stowell said.

Dudley said he’s commit-ted to not only rebuilding the park at its current site, but also in expanding and improving it. Currently there are 56 full hook-up sites for RVs and 23 tent sites.

Beyond the closing of the RV park, there will be times during construction when access to Windjammer Park will be limited, Stowell said.

The city will make every effort to minimize the disrup-tions, but the main access from City Beach Street will be closed at times, he said.

The City Council approved Mayor Scott Dudley’s proposal to hire a full-time economic devel-opment director who will work directly for the city administrator.

Dudley must return to the council with a detailed job description before the position can be filled.

Wages and benefits for the executive assistant, the

accounting manager and economic development coordinator will cost the city about $305,000 a year.

The city is also hiring a project engineer to work on the giant sewage treat-ment plant project; it is slat-ed as a four-year position, Merriman said.

In addition, the city is hiring a staff archaeologist.

Merriman said city staff members must contact an archaeologist every time they plan to dig — even if just to change a sprinkler head.

A 42-year-old Freeland man is recovering after being stabbed in the leg during a robbery Jan. 1, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Detective Ed Wallace said the suspect, Kevin Brown, was known to the victim.

Brown, 37, was at the vic-tim’s house that night with several other people, includ-ing his girlfriend.

At one point, the reported victim went into his bedroom to look for shoes. Brown fol-lowed him in and allegedly struck him over the head with a large glass lamp, knocking him down, accord-ing to Wallace.

Brown told the victim to give him “everything you got” and pulled out a large knife; the man threw his wal-let at Brown, the sheriff’s office reported.

When Brown bent to pick up the wallet, the resident kicked at him and Brown stabbed him in the leg. Brown and his girlfriend then fled, according to Wallace.

Deputies tracked the pair to a travel trailer parked beside a Delphi Street house. The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Brown is being held in the Island County Jail on $50,000 bail.
