Reports by the Washington State Auditorrsquos Office puts blame for financial problems at Island Transit squarely at the feet of its five-member board of directors
But the real bombshell concerns Martha Rose the former director who took vacation without deducting it from her vacation balance She will receive $106000 in a severance package includ-ing $88000 in unused vacation
Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley whorsquos back on the board said the vacation payout amounts to theft and hersquos seeking an injunction to prevent Rose from being paid
A team from the state Auditorrsquos Office announced three official findings in the exit con-ference Friday morning largely attributable to lack to oversight No misappropriation of public funds were identified they emphasized
Cause of the current financial crisis which led to service cuts and layoff was poor monitoring of finances by the the board one report states
The audits identified $100000 in questionable costs associated with a federal grant mdash includ-ing the construction of gazebos mdash which could have financial consequences
ldquoNoncompliance with the grant requirements may require the transit authority to return all or a portion of this money to the grantorrdquo audit supervisor Jenny Lofton said
The accountability audit largely focused on Rose She received regular raises without board

With cases of Ebola now reported in the United States Whidbey General Hospital is joining hospitals across the country in pre-paring to handle patients suspected of having the dis-ease
ldquoWhidbey General Hospital is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as other infection con-trol experts in Washington state to be ready in case the Ebola virus appears on Whidbey Islandrdquo Whidbey General said in a statement released this week
In response to inquiries Whidbey Generalrsquos chief executive officer Tom Tomasino sent an emailed statement in collabora-tion with hospital staff that the hospital is following ldquothe latest guidelines on
transmission-based precau-tionsrdquo which were updated on Oct 20 by the CDC
The CDC issued a four-page checklist to follow in order to prepare which ldquocovers everything form trash disposal in an affect-ed area to how to safely pack potentially infected blood samples for testingrdquo according to the hospitalrsquos written statement
The checklist explains how to identify people who may have been exposed how to properly prevent the spreading of the virus should the hospital have an infected patient and how to protect staff and health care providers from the virus
Navy Hospital at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station is also working to prepare should Ebola come to Whidbey Island
Sharon McIntyre com-munity relations specialist
for the Navy Hospital said the staff there is ldquoprepared to respond as a measure of precautionrdquo and the hospi-tal staff is also trained and prepared according to CDC guidelines
Whidbey General cur-rently has procedures in place to decontaminate pro-tection gear when possible but are still working on developing proper disposal plans should there be need for it
Whidbey General admin-istrators are working with the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy to ensure hospital staffers are equipped with the best possible person-al protective equipment which are tools used to protect people from blood bodily fluids and other infectious material
ldquoWGH is following the CDC guidelines and evalu-
ating different types of suits masks and other PPE based on what the hospitals have learned in their care for Ebola patientsrdquo said Teresa Fulton the hospi-talrsquos chief quality officer
ldquoEvery hospital is work-ing as quickly as possible to create their response plans and train and educate their staffrdquo Fulton said
The CDC recommends single or double gloving and suggests that in some situations triple gloving would happen said Fulton
Beyond that she said the health care profes-sionals would be wearing masks either the regular face masks or powered air purifying respirators such as those used in HAZMAT suits
Fulton said those uni-forms are ldquomore comfort-able to wear for long peri-ods of timerdquo
The most critical aspect of preventing the spread of the Ebola virus is keeping those who are infected from passing the virus to others
The CDC website says that the virus is passed through the bodily fluids of someone infected with
Ebola or from someone who has died from the dis-ease
ldquoIt is important to remember the risk of Ebola is related to a returned traveler from West Africardquo Fulton said
If the traveler or anyone theyrsquove come into contact with develops a fever she said that person ldquoneeds to be evaluated along with the travel and contact historyrdquo
ldquoThe incubation period is (up to) 21 daysrdquo
The Whidbey General statement said that should a suspected or poten-
tial Ebola case arrive at Whidbey General the staff would report it to the coun-ty Health Department and CDC
ldquoAny communication informing the public about a case of Ebola on Whidbey Island would come from the Health Department (public health officer) or CDC and not from Whidbey General Hospitalrdquo the statement said
ldquoWe follow all applicable federal and state privacy laws regarding a patientrsquos health information and con-fidentialityrdquo

Christopher Malaga showed no emotion as he sat in court Wednesday
He remained stone-faced as a woman wailed in sorrow from the galley crowded with members of his alleged victimrsquos family
The 23-year-old is accused of shooting and killing Adam Garcia a man who apparently was his friend before a falling out
Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks charged Malaga mdash whorsquos also known as Chris Midas and Chris G mdash with second-degree murder in Island County Superior Court Monday
Wednesday he announced during Malagarsquos preliminary hearing that he was adding a special allega-tion that the defendant was armed with a firearm It could add an additional five years to the sentence
Banks argued that Malaga should be held on $1-million bail
ldquoHe committed an unpro-voked homicidal act against an unarmed young manrdquo Banks said adding that he shot Garcia ldquoin full view of two eye witnesses without regard for the consequenc-esrdquo
Judge Donald Eaton who was visiting from San Juan County agreed with the bail recommendation
The motive for the shoot-
ing remains unclear to investigators
Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said this week that investigators havenrsquot nailed that down complete-ly
In an interview Banks said the case initially looked like a drug deal that went bad but subsequent inves-tigation revealed that the motive behind the Oct 18 shooting might have been something different per-haps more personal
ldquoBut therersquos still a lot of information I donrsquot have yetrdquo he said
Banks said that Malaga had been ldquocouch surfingrdquo at Garciarsquos home prior to the shooting but they got into an argument and Garcia evicted him
Malaga went to stay at a 17-year-old boyrsquos home in Oak Harbor
Garcia allegedly con-tacted that teenager to buy some cocaine for a 24-year-old friend and they decided to meet at the corner of Southwest Castillian and Fairhaven drives at around 3 am according to the report by Detective Jim Hoagland with the Oak Harbor Police
The teenager brought Malaga along Garcia also brought his friend who wanted the cocaine the report states
A woman drove Garcia to the scene He told her that she should call the police if he didnrsquot return in
six minutes mdash just in case Garcia joked he ended up getting shot according to the report
Trouble allegedly started after the drug sale Banks said it was a small amount mdash ldquopersonal-use levelrdquo mdash of the drug
ldquoItrsquos not the sort of thing you would expect a shoot-ing overrdquo he said
The teenager later told police that Malaga stepped in and confronted Garcia after the drug transaction Malaga accused Garcia of trying to ldquojackrdquo him and pointed a gun at him the report states
Garcia wasnrsquot cowed but came up to Malaga as he was pointing the gun Garciarsquos friend got in the middle of the two the report states
His friend later told police that Garcia went back toward Malaga again and Malaga shot him in the face the report states
The friend knocked on a homeownerrsquos door and asked the resident to call 911 He waited with Garcia as police arrived
Garcia died after the first police officer arrived
Malaga returned to the teenagerrsquos house and got a ride to Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham the next day the report states
Banks said he charged Malaga Monday based on the preliminary report By filing charges he explained he was able to secure a
$1-million arrest warrant for Malaga and obtain the help of the US Marshalrsquos Service and other agencies in finding Malaga
Green said detectives were able to track down Malaga relatively quickly through a combination of ldquogood old-fashioned police workrdquo and the use of tech-nology
Malaga was ultimate-ly arrested outside a Bellingham gas station after a traffic stop he said
Court records show that Malaga has a juvenile history of misdemeanor drug and theft charges He was from Toms River New Jersey but moved to Whidbey Island about nine months ago he didnrsquot have a permanent address but had been living with friends according to the police
If convicted of the charge and the firearm allegation Malaga could face from 20 to 28 years in prison under the standard sentencing range
Bail set at $1 million for alleged shooter

If money makes a dif-ference in races for politi-cal office then it appears Island County District 3 Commissioner candidate Karla Jacks will have a hefty advantage over challenger Rick Hannold on Nov 4
According to the state Public Disclosure Commission the agency that monitors campaign con-tributions and expenditures Jacks a Camano Island Democrat has amassed a war chest of nearly $39000
Hannold a North Whidbey Republican raised about $2500
Jacks said Thursday the amount she raised was no accident but the result of steps she took months ago as a political newcomer
ldquoI actually went to some classes learning how much to budget and what things
would costrdquo Jacks saidThe vast difference in
contributions is a concern Hannold said but added that probably wonrsquot be the decid-ing factor in the race
His campaign was ldquograss-rootsrdquo from the beginning he said and there are better ways to get the message out than with signs or commer-cials
ldquoIve been putting a lot of miles on my shoesrdquo Hannold said
ldquoBesides I think face-to-face is the best thingrdquo
Hannold is recording under the mini reporting option meaning he doesnt have to report individual con-tributors or expenditures as long as the total stays under $5000
He neared the benchmark around the August primary election and asked a change to the full-reporting option but missed deadlines for the
switchHes had to make do with
about a dozen large signs and about 225 small ones
As of this week Hannold had spent about $3200 said PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson
Jacks has spent nearly $26600 according to the PDC much of it on profes-sional campaign assistance A sum total of $4000 went to Sound Strategies a Marysville-based consultant and $10500 to her campaign manager Nathan Haugen grandson of the former state senator Mary Margaret Haugen
The total spent is likely more as the statersquos website hasnrsquot caught up with an approximately $8000 expen-diture for mailers this week Jacks said She noted that shersquos still raising money and anticipates her total expendi-tures and contributions will
be about even though she also hopes to have some left over in the event she runs for a second term
A mailer for Hannold arrived in mailboxes late this week but he confirmed Friday that it was not sent or paid for by the Hannold campaign
Jacksrsquo largest individual financial supporters were the Island County Democratic Central Committee con-tributing a total of $3950 in two separate payments and $3700 from Windermere Real Estate brokers Randy and Marla Heagle on Camano Island
Other big contributors all of whom gave $1000 in sepa-rate $500 payments include Jones Floyd of Seattle Diane Kendy of Langley Robin and Stanley Nelson of Shoreline and Craig and Rose Olson of Camano Island
Appointed District 3
Republican Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan before being defeated in the prima-ry raised $7900 and spent about $12000 according to the commissionrsquos website
Vaughan disputed the number in a telephone inter-view Monday saying hersquos certain the total is less
Also Vaughan did not record his contributions and expenditures electronically with the commission doing so only with written docu-ments mailed to the agency
Anderson said Vaughan is required by law to file elec-tronically
Vaughan disputed the claim maintaining he was in compliance with state rules
ldquoId be real careful with that business right there young manrdquo Vaughan said when asked about the PDC violation
Vaughan later apolo-gized and acknowledged he received a letter from the state commission urging him to file electronically
He said he worked hard to follow the rules while cam-paigning which can be exten-
sive and complicated but he didnrsquot adhere to the electron-ic filing requirements solely for lack of computer skills
In other county races incumbent Republican Auditor Sheilah Crider raised $3700 and spent $2200 while Independent challeng-er Rebecca Wagnerrsquos totals are unknown as she is using the mini reporting option
Vying for the county treasurerrsquos seat incumbent Democrat Ana Maria Nuntildeez raised $7100 and spent $3800
Her largest contributors were the Island County Democrats $1500 in two payments and Leigh Power of Coupeville $400 All other contributions were under $200
Challenger Wanda Grone a Republican is ahead slight-ly with $7600 taken in and about $7100 spent Her larg-est supporter was the Island Republican Party with $700 and $300 checks from John Merrill Oak Harbor and Daryl Tyras of Houston Texas All other contribu-tions were under $200

Candy Slowik would be happy to see a library in nearly every neigh-borhood
In fact she recently opened a free library in front of her home on Southwest Erie Street where the policy is ldquotake a book leave a bookrdquo
Little Free Libraries is a move-ment that started in 2009 by Todd Bol and Rick Brooks of Wisconsin with a mission to promote literacy and a love of reading
Slowik said she learned about the concept when she visited Seattle with her grandchildren who took pleasure in showing her the various free libraries in their area
ldquoI just thought it was a really real-ly neat concept in Seattlerdquo she said
Shersquos hoping the idea will take off in Oak Harbor
As of right now Slowik said hers is only one of two pocket libraries in Oak Harbor the other being in the Whidbey Country Club parking lot
ldquoI just thought if people would get out and think about making these things that it would be fun for the neighborhoodrdquo she said
Bob and Rhonda Severns are also working towards opening a pocket library in Oak Harbor inspired by the statue in Windjammer Park ded-icated to three teachers as well as other pocket libraries Bob Severns saw in North Seattle
ldquoI think the opportunity to read and learn from that is one of the best things we can do no matter what age grouprdquo Bob Severns said
Hersquos planning on working with an Eagle Scout to design and build the library which when completed will be placed near the teachersrsquo statue in Windjammer Park
Hersquos hoping to get it done within a couple of months As of January 2014 the Little Free Library website estimated about 15000 free libraries worldwide including countries like Uganda Pakistan Lithuana and so many more
She opened hers about two weeks ago in front of her Candy Land Day Care located at 746 SE Erie Street It has since attracted the attention of passersby as well as the attention of the children who attend her day care
ldquoI have a lot of my day care kids hellip come up on their way home and
grab a bookrdquo Slowik said ldquoand then bring one from their houserdquo
Currently Slowikrsquos pocket library stocks books ranging in age groups form children to adult and she said
that people are welcome to stop by to find a book and to even sit on the nearby bricks to read
ldquoI think reading is importantrdquo Slowik said ldquoTherersquos nothing better than readingrdquo

Local magician JR Russell is hoping to magically repair the Whidbey Playhouse this weekend
Russell who is a retired Navy captain will be star-ring in a magic show to raise funds for the theater
The magic show is Saturday Oct 25 with show-ings at 1 pm and 4 pm
The matinee show is geared toward kids and costs $4 for kids and $6 for adults while the night show has more for the adults and tickets are $5 for kids and $10 for adults
Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the playhousersquos Raise the Roof project
The project which began in 2012 is aimed at upgrad-ing the 48-year-old nonprofit theater which produces five shows per season and hosts a
variety of other productions Russell who has been a
magician on Whidbey Island since 2011 got the idea to put on the show when he was sit-ting and talking with Hector Powell playhouse office man-ager Janis Powellrsquos husband and the facilities manager at the playhouse
Russell mentioned that the playhouse still needed some renovations considering that it was originally a church and
the original framework isnrsquot perfect for a theater So he and Hector Powell decided it was time for another magic show that would benefit Raise the Roof He put on the first magic show to benefit the program in 2012
Right now Janis Powell said the playhouse is look-ing to expand its fly space or above-stage space which would give the crew more options for set design and
other effects during theater productions
Russell invited three of his magician friends Mark Paulson Jim Earnshaw and Brian Cook Cook and Russell have both performed
in Las Vegas Together the four magicians will use all kinds of magic and illusions during the shows
ldquoThey do it for the love of doing magicrdquo Janis Powell said ldquoAnd helping us outrdquo

In the face of diminish-ing funding for state parks local parks staffs are get-ting creative to keep parks running smoothly
Representatives from Washington State Parks presented the agencyrsquos current condition to local leaders this week in efforts to both inform and seek partnerships that may help them do more with less
ldquoThe only way we can make this happen is if we all work togetherrdquo said Deception Pass Manager Jack Hartt to mem-bers of the Council of Governments
ldquoAlone I canrsquot do that on my own with my staff we canrsquot do it on our own But together if we work together as governments if we work together as neigh-bors and community hellip our state parks can work for all of usrdquo
The Island County Council of Governments includes Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy Island County Commissioner Helen Price
Johnson and Port of South Whidbey representative Curt Gordon
Combined Whidbey Islandrsquos nine state parks bring 47 million visitors each year with 27 going to Deception Pass alone
Daniel Farber policy and governmental affairs direc-tor for state parks said that the last few years have been tumultuous for state parks as funding has been slashed and the Discover Pass initiated
ldquoWersquore in such tumult right now wersquove laid off one- third of our full-time employeesrdquo Farber said
The state funded the parks with $94 million in the general fund as recently as 2009 but has cut that down steadily each year In 2013 the state gave only $85 million to parks
Farber said that while income from the Discover Pass has helped offset the statersquos shrinking contribu-tion state parks are still struggling to provide mini-mal services
On Whidbey the reality of cuts has meant reduced camping seasons at South Whidbey and Fort Ebey summer interpretive pro-
grams have been on hold office hours have been reduced and some rest-rooms are closed in the winter according to Central Whidbey Area Manager John Crimmins
Crimmins added that short staffing has lead to poor morale and motiva-tion therersquos not enough staff to open and close gates and problems at a specific park leaves other parks unattended
ldquoThe statersquos shrinking budget led to a need to reduce staff and find new ways to manage our parksrdquo Crimmins said
This has lead to creating a large management area for all Whidbey Island state parks with the exception of Deception Pass which has its own management team
Farber said when the Discover Pass was initiat-ed in 2011 the legislature directed state parks to work toward 100 percent self suf-ficiency a goal that he said is unrealistic
ldquoWe canrsquot get there we donrsquot want to get there we donrsquot think the public wants us to get thererdquo Farber said
ldquoWe think with a public
park system you need pub-lic stakeholdersrdquo
In that light state parks has attempted to form part-nerships with other organi-zations schools and volun-teer groups to stretch their resources
ldquoItrsquos not all doom and gloomrdquo Crimmins said ldquoWe found some solutionsrdquo
Among those include cre-ating a central office for
all permanent staff at Fort Casey an office assistant assumes many of the admin-istrative tasks supplies and products are standardized park rangers are schedules are prioritized by need and the volunteer program has been vastly expanded assist with park clean-ups and customer service
ldquoWersquove had all sorts of local volunteer helprdquo
Crimmins saidMoving forward state
parks is hoping to continue to find ways to generate rev-enue as well as rely on local partnerships Crimmins said
Just a few of these include island Lionrsquos Clubs local Boy Scout Troops the Island County Beachwatchers and schools

OPINION
LETTERS TO THE EDITORElection
See through latest lsquoOctober SurprisersquoEditor
I have always supported our mili-tary forces My mother served in the Marine Corps And after my father emigrated from Poland he worked on the design of the B-52 bomber while employed by Boeing
My father-in-law served in the Army during the Korean War and on the ICBM and McDonnell Douglas Harrier programs afterward My mother-in-law runs the VFW in her hometown Many of my high school classmates served in Vietnam I sup-ported their choices and welcomed home the ones who survived
I never protested against the war and I always thank troops and veter-ans for their service to our country
I have not changed my alliances mdash I support the US Navy and its operations in Island County
As an ldquoOctober surpriserdquo informa-tion was planted related to my signa-ture on an OLF petition requesting that the issue of continuing opera-
tions at OLF be submitted to the affected voters in an election
My concern with flights over Ebeyrsquos Reserve is directed at the release of jet fuel over farmlands where food crops are raised and areas of dense population
I have never attended a COER meeting nor have I given this group any financial support I ldquounsub-scribedrdquo from their communications when their tactics became extreme
My opponent has posted this on her website
ldquoI strongly support the military and NAS Whidbey unlike my oppo-nent who wants to close the baserdquo
I do not support closure of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station nor any other base in the state of Washington
The economic impacts to Whidbey Island would be enormous
I find it interesting that Ms Ana Maria Nuntildeez says she strongly sup-ports the local military yet is accept-ing campaign contributions from COER the group sponsoring the petition that she is chastising me for signing
Campaign contributions are gath-ered after personally meeting with supporters the supporters want their candidate elected because
their beliefs and standards align with those of the other
Ms Nuntildeezrsquos acceptance of these funds brings her claimed support of the military into question
My opponentrsquos campaign manager posted this on the NASWI I Support OLF Facebook page ldquoYes I am Eileen King and resident of OH I am also Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos campaign manager Yes Ana Maria like most candidates has accepted donations from people who are members or signed the petition for COER She is a candidate and doesnrsquot turn down free moneyrdquo
I hope you can see through this latest ldquoOctober surpriserdquo and follow the money to determine who is tell-ing you the truth here Look to the one who is accepting COERrsquos money
This is an election race for the Island County treasurer whose duties are to care for the taxpayersrsquo money
Why is it that the current treasurer wants to talk about anything except her performance in office where it is so obvious that she has failed to do just that mdash care for the taxpayersrsquo money

By Helen Price JohnsonHindsight is 2020 and looking back
I see a small transit agency that grew from the grass roots and built up on a shoestring to a vital public service Run by only one person habits were entrenched
Money was saved in hopes of building a facility to meet growing needs Once grant funds came the local match took all the savings Unfortunately the big construction project took the directorrsquos
focus away from monitoring daily finances Expenses exceeded revenues creating a shortfall Services had to be cut If the proper internal financial con-
trols had been in place less dramatic adjustments could have been made over time Cuts shouldrsquove been made sooner We know that now
Steps were taken to strengthen Island Transitrsquos checks and balances The board has increased its oversight of finances Two board members now meet regularly with staff to review bank statements expenses and revenues
A new professional sits in the Transit finance office and is updating the internal controls of the agency Monthly reports are improved so the board can better monitor the cash position The State Auditors just finished their review of the Island Transit books for 2013 and confirmed that the previous financial officer did not follow standard practices in a number of areas
Most significant were the cash shortfall and the control of the federal grant funds for the new building This yearrsquos reductions in service did ldquoright the shiprdquo and Transit is oper-ating in the black again modestly rebuilding a reserve
The auditors deemed $100 thousand of the $10 million grant as questionable No one stole any money but payroll records and equipment inventory were not adequate That has been fixed The audit confirmed the board of directors need to improve its oversight of the director This is an opportunity to start new practices
Most important to moving ahead is hiring a qualified interim executive director so the transit agency is stabilized for the future and the impacts of the cuts can be addressed Tentative plans are to hire someone by Thanksgiving
An interim position makes sense to provide transitional leadership for the organization and provide ample time for the process of selecting a long-term director
The community needs to say what they want for the sys-tem to provide in the future How can service be expanded Should it stay fare-free Routes need to be adjusted to better meet the needs of our citizens
The audit results show that the agency grew over time yet the internal financial controls and Board policies did not keep up Significant progress has been made and I will work hard to continue improving Island Transit for the future

Response to errors defines candidateEditor
My response to the endorsement of my opponent They use the mis-steps that have occurred this year as the reason they are endorsing my opponent
Election year errors The worst timing
My father says ldquoIt is not the error that defines you but your response to itrdquo My response ldquoCorrect and put plans in place to avoid these situations from reoccurringrdquo
My accomplishments barely men-tioned Partial Payment program alli-ance with the Opportunity Council decreasing banking costs by 70 per-cent elimination of supplement back-log etc
Almost all of the accomplishments for which my opponent takes credit were initiated before she was hired she was the liaison representing my office She speaks of ensuring reports are delivered in a timely manner but failed three years running to com-plete the one report for which she was responsible in the financial state-ments Her vision for the future is a copy of what I have already stated
No original thoughtsShe signed a petition to close OLF
Coupeville She openly stated that she would be personally financially better off if NAS Whidbey were to close Yet she slaps a ldquoSupport Our Troopsrdquo sticker on her car to garner the military vote
As a military spouse and mama I appreciate the sacrifice and ded-ication of our service members I understand that freedom also means sacrifice whether moving every few years or hearing the sound of free-dom overhead
I have given my heart and soul as treasurer to better serve you I hum-bly ask for your faith and vote again

Oak Harbor
Clark County treasurer confident in NuntildeezEditor
I appreciate Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos lead-ership in coordinating this last year the PACrsquos User Group which devel-ops the software programming pri-orities of the county treasurerrsquos True Automation property tax collection system for 13 counties in the state of Washington
Even during difficult personal and family health issues over the last 12 months Ana Maria continued to participate in the discussions and decisions of the Washington State Association of County Treasurers including state legislation and partici-pating on WSACT committees
She is a strong advocate for excel-lence in treasury management and an asset to the citizens of Island County
As a result of sharing ideas my office has implemented some of the processes developed by Ana Mariarsquos office to improve our operational activities
The voters of Island County would do well to reelect County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeez and help continue her efforts to implement programs and processes to improve customer service financial management and tax collection in the treasurerrsquos office

CPA background make Wagner best choiceEditor
Rebecca Wagnerrsquos years of experi-ence as a CPA as well as her former employment with both Island and Skagit counties will make her a valu-able asset to the Island County audi-torrsquos office
Her extensive knowledge and working relationships that she has gained over the years will provide this department with a ldquoworking auditorrdquo an auditor who can competently run her department and maintain com-munication with other departments as needed

I-594
Flawed measure needs off ballotEditor
I just received a flyer in the mail with Rory Graves supporting Initiative 594 I have to admit that it finally sent me over the edge
The television commercials with her do meet their intended purpose of pulling at my emotions through heart-tugging testimony But I have to inform you that it gets my attention for reasons other than what Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility would like
You see the entire campaign makes me realize how fortunate we are to live in a society where women can get self-defense and firearms training Roryrsquos mother chose to stay in an abusive relationship without seeking any of that training It very well could have prevented the situa-tion of her shooting
Nowhere does the printed flyer or television spot state that the husband mentioned was prohibited from own-ing a firearm
I find it inexcusable that the Alliance would exploit women in this fashion The training opportunities for women to safely carry and use if necessary a firearm are endless
However the passing of I-594 will take away the possibility of receiving that training Through insane restric-tions regarding firearms transfers I will no longer be able to share my experience or firearms with another woman interested in shooting for sport or self defense
My gun club will no longer pres-ent eight classes a year in youth and womenrsquos firearm safety The way the initiative is written is totally out of step with the Second Amendment or state constitution
I am truly curious whether anyone on the Alliance staff has read I-594
in its entirety and understands the implication that the passing of this bill would have Give us a break out here
Someone fess up and admit that this legislation needs to be pulled from the ballot

McDowell
Where is the evidence to support OLF claimEditor
In his Oct 18 letter to the Whidbey News-Times Mac McDowell wrote ldquoThe Navy has long said OLF Coupeville is essential to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station remaining openrdquo
When and where has the Navy ever said that Mr McDowell didnrsquot offer one direct quote from the Navy to support this statement
If the Navy had ever said that it would have been part of every dis-cussion about OLF in meetings and newspaper accounts and letters to the editor for the last several years
It would have been plastered on billboards all over the island
It would have stopped dead in its tracks any claim by those who want OLF closed that they donrsquot also want the air station closed
Where has that statement been hidden all of these years If Mr McDowell has access to it he should produce it If not in the interest of his own credibility he should admit that he misspoke
Ann AdamsOak Harbor
Speak up now in support of baseEditor
When the last EA-6B retires Whidbey Island Naval Air Stationrsquos EA-18G Growlers will be the only US airborne electronic jammers and therefore responsible to protect and defend all US military and alliesrsquo forces worldwide
The Chief of Naval Operations wants to add up to 36 additional EA-18G Growlers including two shore-based (non-carrier) squadrons along with the support jobs and per-sonnel to Whidbey
There are meetings 4-8 pm Oct 28 29 and 30 in Coupeville Oak Harbor and Anacortes to accept com-ments in the EIS process
In 1989-90 a Coupeville anti-Navy group was instrumental through com-plaint efforts to get NAS Whidbey on the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure list
A similar anti-Navy Coupeville group is again trying to shut down NAS Whidbey by forcing the Growlers to cease flying on Whidbey
In 1990 the local community did not respond prior to BRAC On either Oct 28 29 or 30 you have the oppor-tunity to respond proactively support-ing NAS Whidbeyrsquos expansion and telling the Navy the Coupeville anti-Navy group represents a very vocal but extreme minority of residents
Seventy-plus years of Navy
operations at NAS WhidbeyOLF Coupeville should be grandfathered to allow the Navy to return to the same number of Navy personnel and jobs as was here when the A-6 was operational
The expansion is needed nation-ally Hopefully this time different from 1991 we can proactively support the Navy defeat the anti-Navy efforts and keep NAS Whidbey off the 2017 BRAC closure list
If you canrsquot attend you can com-ment supporting the Navy on wwwwhidbeyeiscom
If you donrsquot have internet access call Mac McDowell at 360-929-8207 for a comment form
This time the community needs to work to protect NAS Whidbey and to protect our local economy The Washington governorrsquos economic report indicates NAS Whidbey is the source of 88 percent of all economic activity in Island County

WEANThanks for celebrating 25 years of protectionEditor
Whidbey Environmental Action Network wants to thank all who par-ticipated and contributed to a very successful fun for all ldquoWEANFest Celebrating 25 years of Protecting Our Native Biodiversityrdquo
We especially want to thank the folks who attended the annual meet-ing and potluck donated to the silent auction bought donated items as well as Greenbank Farmrsquos fantastic new rental facility manager Madisun Clark
We also want to thank the great performers who raised the roof and blew the doors off the barn with their glorious music Whidbeyrsquos own Cranberry Bog Blue Grass Band Bellinghamrsquos soulful mischievous baritone Dana Lyons Orcas Islandrsquos banjo playing folksy singer Tom Rawson and his Baez-channeling part-ner Katherine Ellice from Vancouver British Columbia
I know many are wondering who won the Busted Bulldozer and Home Island Hero awards The Dozer went to Oak Harbor mayor Scott Dudley and the Oak Harbor City Council for callously cutting down an Oak Harbor icon the Post Office oak tree
The second award went to ex-Island County Commissioner Angie Homola for her efforts while in office Though competition was stiff in both cases the decibel meter went off the scale in favor of the winners
One reason WEANfest was held at the farm was because WEAN was instrumental in its evolution When Chateau Ste Michele Winery decid-ed to sell the farm in 1995 WEAN organized the first meeting Eighty people crammed the Greenbank Progressive Hall to strategize a plan
The rest is history and typical of what we do It is truly a jewel in the navel of Whidbey Island and a resource for residents and the region
With your continued support we look forward to 25 more years of championing sustainable strategies for a viable verdant and healthy future

In the first set the Chargers hung around for a while Oak Harbor led only 14-11 then ran off four straight points behind the
serving of Anderson to pull away
The Wildcats jumped to a 7-1 lead in the second game and were never threatened

Wildcat soccer team drops pair of matches
Glacier Peak and Shorewood handed the Oak Harbor soccer team losses this week
Visiting GP stopped the Wild-cats 3-1 Tuesday and Oak Harbor lost 3-0 at Shorewood Thursday
Against the Grizzlies a couple of breakdowns proved costly
ldquoI thought we played them tough with the exception of three or four mistakesrdquo coach Mike Lonborg said
The Grizzlies (4-4-1 5-7-1) scored two of their goals off cor-ner kicks which was a trouble-some area for the Wildcats Lon-borg said
ldquoWe had a serious lack of com-municationrdquo Lonborg said
Natalie Gabbert tied the match at 1-1 with a penalty kick early in the second half then Glacier Peak put the match away with two goals in 90 seconds midway through the second period
Against Shorewood (7-2-2 8-5-2) Lonborg suited up only 13 play-ers because of injuries
Though shorthanded the Wild-cats ldquoplayed hard but it wasnrsquot enoughrdquo Lonborg said
ldquoShorewood had great posses-sion and controlled the flow the majority of the gamerdquo he added
The loss eliminated Oak Harbor from playoff contention
The Wildcats (1-7-2 5-7-2) wrap up the season with two matches next week Lynnwood (1-8-1 1-22-2) visits at 6 pm Monday Oct 27 in the final home game then Oak Harbor goes to Everett (2-6-2

group deployed since Feb 15 according to the NavyNAS Whidbey-based VAQ 134 has been a part of the
departing strike group and the squadrons involvement will be the Navyrsquos final job for the Prowler
ldquoThis is the final Navy EA-6B Prowler deployment and that despite its age compared to the modern EA-18G Growler the old Prowler thanks to its dedicated maintain-ers and air crew is proving itself right up to the endrdquo said Lt Joseph Hontz US 5th Fleet spokesman
The carrierrsquos air wing amassed 32611 flight hours 12548 total sorties and 9752 traps supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS and terrorists in Iraq and Syria according to the Navy
The Navy said in earlier news releases that the electronic
attack squadrons are assisting in air strikes performed by the US Air Forcersquos FA-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft and that approximately 74 percent of the attacks are by the Air Force
ldquoThe sailors who man our ships and squadrons should be extremely proud of what we as a team accomplished while deployed to the 5th Fleetrdquo said Rear Adm DeWolfe Miller in a statement released by the Navy
ldquoCarl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their pres-ence like ours will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorismrdquo
In addition to the Growler squadron the Carl Vinson strike group comprises seven squadrons of various attack and support aircraft totaling 6200 sailors
The carrier is also accompanied by four destroyersUpon its return to Whidbey VAQ 134 will begin its tran-
sition to the Growler which will complete the Navy-wide transition by the 2015 target date
Prowlers will still be flown by the Marine Corps squad-rons

appointed to the position during the meeting at which commissioner Dave Walton resigned It was later determined the board didnrsquot fol-low the proper legal process in making the appointment and it was later rescinded
The candidates were briefly interviewed before the board voted
Wendy Shingleton appointed to fill for-mer commissioner Kirk Hufferrsquos seat on the board asked the candidates applied for the position
ldquoThe pool isnrsquot quite meeting my needsrdquo Holly replied ldquoI donrsquot think itrsquos meeting some of the peoplersquos needs hellip I have a lot of talent and energy and skill to bring to this position
and I think hellip I would be good for itrdquoWhile in the Navy Holly said she gained
leadership experience and worked with bud-gets facilities maintenance and ldquobuilding new buildingsrdquo
Robinson cited her experience and his-tory with the district and her background in accounting and auditing
Commissioner Steve Hoffmire asked what each candidate could bring to help erase a negative image of the district some in the community might have
Holly said that her lack of history with the district was an asset
ldquoI think I bring a fresh perspective and fresh energyrdquo Holly said ldquoIrsquom not burdened by the past I donrsquot know any of you peoplerdquo
Robinson said that her relationship with the pool was vital and if appointed she could draw back some people who left the pool
Before the vote Hoffmire said that he would abstain because of how the district mishandled Robinsonrsquos appointment
ldquoWe made a mistake and we owned itrdquo Hoffmire said
ldquoBut I believe the process is somewhat taintedrdquo
Hoffmire said a part of him wanted to let the 90-day deadline expire so the Island County commissioners would fill the position
ldquoI think some things were said that tend to make people believe the process is biased and I am very concerned with thatrdquo Hoffmire said ldquoAnd Irsquom very concerned with the image we have here The way that wersquove done busi-ness has caused people to raise an eyebrow over these past couple of years
ldquoI want to be completely fairrdquoParks board members Sean Merrill and
Shingleton voted to appoint Holly to the vacant
seat Chairman Allan McDougall affirmed the vote
ldquoItrsquos an honorrdquo Holly said ldquoI know there are issues I read the paper Irsquove seen there are issues with the pool and there are going to be issues with the budget and I think we need to do somethingrdquo
Holly said her goals as a commissioner include scheduling more lap time something she takes advantage of as a swimmer when she can and one day getting a bigger pool and making the pool self-funded
ldquoI just think we need to find a way to get it self-supportingrdquo Holly said
ldquoFundraising or I donrsquot know Irsquom new to this Irsquove had a lot of questions building up in my head so hopefully Irsquoll be able to answer thoserdquo

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

where knowledge makesthe difference
Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

With cases of Ebola now reported in the United States Whidbey General Hospital is joining hospitals across the country in pre-paring to handle patients suspected of having the dis-ease
ldquoWhidbey General Hospital is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as other infection con-trol experts in Washington state to be ready in case the Ebola virus appears on Whidbey Islandrdquo Whidbey General said in a statement released this week
In response to inquiries Whidbey Generalrsquos chief executive officer Tom Tomasino sent an emailed statement in collabora-tion with hospital staff that the hospital is following ldquothe latest guidelines on
transmission-based precau-tionsrdquo which were updated on Oct 20 by the CDC
The CDC issued a four-page checklist to follow in order to prepare which ldquocovers everything form trash disposal in an affect-ed area to how to safely pack potentially infected blood samples for testingrdquo according to the hospitalrsquos written statement
The checklist explains how to identify people who may have been exposed how to properly prevent the spreading of the virus should the hospital have an infected patient and how to protect staff and health care providers from the virus
Navy Hospital at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station is also working to prepare should Ebola come to Whidbey Island
Sharon McIntyre com-munity relations specialist
for the Navy Hospital said the staff there is ldquoprepared to respond as a measure of precautionrdquo and the hospi-tal staff is also trained and prepared according to CDC guidelines
Whidbey General cur-rently has procedures in place to decontaminate pro-tection gear when possible but are still working on developing proper disposal plans should there be need for it
Whidbey General admin-istrators are working with the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy to ensure hospital staffers are equipped with the best possible person-al protective equipment which are tools used to protect people from blood bodily fluids and other infectious material
ldquoWGH is following the CDC guidelines and evalu-
ating different types of suits masks and other PPE based on what the hospitals have learned in their care for Ebola patientsrdquo said Teresa Fulton the hospi-talrsquos chief quality officer
ldquoEvery hospital is work-ing as quickly as possible to create their response plans and train and educate their staffrdquo Fulton said
The CDC recommends single or double gloving and suggests that in some situations triple gloving would happen said Fulton
Beyond that she said the health care profes-sionals would be wearing masks either the regular face masks or powered air purifying respirators such as those used in HAZMAT suits
Fulton said those uni-forms are ldquomore comfort-able to wear for long peri-ods of timerdquo
The most critical aspect of preventing the spread of the Ebola virus is keeping those who are infected from passing the virus to others
The CDC website says that the virus is passed through the bodily fluids of someone infected with
Ebola or from someone who has died from the dis-ease
ldquoIt is important to remember the risk of Ebola is related to a returned traveler from West Africardquo Fulton said
If the traveler or anyone theyrsquove come into contact with develops a fever she said that person ldquoneeds to be evaluated along with the travel and contact historyrdquo
ldquoThe incubation period is (up to) 21 daysrdquo
The Whidbey General statement said that should a suspected or poten-
tial Ebola case arrive at Whidbey General the staff would report it to the coun-ty Health Department and CDC
ldquoAny communication informing the public about a case of Ebola on Whidbey Island would come from the Health Department (public health officer) or CDC and not from Whidbey General Hospitalrdquo the statement said
ldquoWe follow all applicable federal and state privacy laws regarding a patientrsquos health information and con-fidentialityrdquo

Christopher Malaga showed no emotion as he sat in court Wednesday
He remained stone-faced as a woman wailed in sorrow from the galley crowded with members of his alleged victimrsquos family
The 23-year-old is accused of shooting and killing Adam Garcia a man who apparently was his friend before a falling out
Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks charged Malaga mdash whorsquos also known as Chris Midas and Chris G mdash with second-degree murder in Island County Superior Court Monday
Wednesday he announced during Malagarsquos preliminary hearing that he was adding a special allega-tion that the defendant was armed with a firearm It could add an additional five years to the sentence
Banks argued that Malaga should be held on $1-million bail
ldquoHe committed an unpro-voked homicidal act against an unarmed young manrdquo Banks said adding that he shot Garcia ldquoin full view of two eye witnesses without regard for the consequenc-esrdquo
Judge Donald Eaton who was visiting from San Juan County agreed with the bail recommendation
The motive for the shoot-
ing remains unclear to investigators
Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said this week that investigators havenrsquot nailed that down complete-ly
In an interview Banks said the case initially looked like a drug deal that went bad but subsequent inves-tigation revealed that the motive behind the Oct 18 shooting might have been something different per-haps more personal
ldquoBut therersquos still a lot of information I donrsquot have yetrdquo he said
Banks said that Malaga had been ldquocouch surfingrdquo at Garciarsquos home prior to the shooting but they got into an argument and Garcia evicted him
Malaga went to stay at a 17-year-old boyrsquos home in Oak Harbor
Garcia allegedly con-tacted that teenager to buy some cocaine for a 24-year-old friend and they decided to meet at the corner of Southwest Castillian and Fairhaven drives at around 3 am according to the report by Detective Jim Hoagland with the Oak Harbor Police
The teenager brought Malaga along Garcia also brought his friend who wanted the cocaine the report states
A woman drove Garcia to the scene He told her that she should call the police if he didnrsquot return in
six minutes mdash just in case Garcia joked he ended up getting shot according to the report
Trouble allegedly started after the drug sale Banks said it was a small amount mdash ldquopersonal-use levelrdquo mdash of the drug
ldquoItrsquos not the sort of thing you would expect a shoot-ing overrdquo he said
The teenager later told police that Malaga stepped in and confronted Garcia after the drug transaction Malaga accused Garcia of trying to ldquojackrdquo him and pointed a gun at him the report states
Garcia wasnrsquot cowed but came up to Malaga as he was pointing the gun Garciarsquos friend got in the middle of the two the report states
His friend later told police that Garcia went back toward Malaga again and Malaga shot him in the face the report states
The friend knocked on a homeownerrsquos door and asked the resident to call 911 He waited with Garcia as police arrived
Garcia died after the first police officer arrived
Malaga returned to the teenagerrsquos house and got a ride to Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham the next day the report states
Banks said he charged Malaga Monday based on the preliminary report By filing charges he explained he was able to secure a
$1-million arrest warrant for Malaga and obtain the help of the US Marshalrsquos Service and other agencies in finding Malaga
Green said detectives were able to track down Malaga relatively quickly through a combination of ldquogood old-fashioned police workrdquo and the use of tech-nology
Malaga was ultimate-ly arrested outside a Bellingham gas station after a traffic stop he said
Court records show that Malaga has a juvenile history of misdemeanor drug and theft charges He was from Toms River New Jersey but moved to Whidbey Island about nine months ago he didnrsquot have a permanent address but had been living with friends according to the police
If convicted of the charge and the firearm allegation Malaga could face from 20 to 28 years in prison under the standard sentencing range
Bail set at $1 million for alleged shooter

Murder suspect Christopher Malaga appears in Island County Superior Court Wednesday with attorney Jennifer Bouwens
By JUSTIN BURNETTWhidbey News Group
If money makes a dif-ference in races for politi-cal office then it appears Island County District 3 Commissioner candidate Karla Jacks will have a hefty advantage over challenger Rick Hannold on Nov 4
According to the state Public Disclosure Commission the agency that monitors campaign con-tributions and expenditures Jacks a Camano Island Democrat has amassed a war chest of nearly $39000
Hannold a North Whidbey Republican raised about $2500
Jacks said Thursday the amount she raised was no accident but the result of steps she took months ago as a political newcomer
ldquoI actually went to some classes learning how much to budget and what things
would costrdquo Jacks saidThe vast difference in
contributions is a concern Hannold said but added that probably wonrsquot be the decid-ing factor in the race
His campaign was ldquograss-rootsrdquo from the beginning he said and there are better ways to get the message out than with signs or commer-cials
ldquoIve been putting a lot of miles on my shoesrdquo Hannold said
ldquoBesides I think face-to-face is the best thingrdquo
Hannold is recording under the mini reporting option meaning he doesnt have to report individual con-tributors or expenditures as long as the total stays under $5000
He neared the benchmark around the August primary election and asked a change to the full-reporting option but missed deadlines for the
switchHes had to make do with
about a dozen large signs and about 225 small ones
As of this week Hannold had spent about $3200 said PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson
Jacks has spent nearly $26600 according to the PDC much of it on profes-sional campaign assistance A sum total of $4000 went to Sound Strategies a Marysville-based consultant and $10500 to her campaign manager Nathan Haugen grandson of the former state senator Mary Margaret Haugen
The total spent is likely more as the statersquos website hasnrsquot caught up with an approximately $8000 expen-diture for mailers this week Jacks said She noted that shersquos still raising money and anticipates her total expendi-tures and contributions will
be about even though she also hopes to have some left over in the event she runs for a second term
A mailer for Hannold arrived in mailboxes late this week but he confirmed Friday that it was not sent or paid for by the Hannold campaign
Jacksrsquo largest individual financial supporters were the Island County Democratic Central Committee con-tributing a total of $3950 in two separate payments and $3700 from Windermere Real Estate brokers Randy and Marla Heagle on Camano Island
Other big contributors all of whom gave $1000 in sepa-rate $500 payments include Jones Floyd of Seattle Diane Kendy of Langley Robin and Stanley Nelson of Shoreline and Craig and Rose Olson of Camano Island
Appointed District 3
Republican Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan before being defeated in the prima-ry raised $7900 and spent about $12000 according to the commissionrsquos website
Vaughan disputed the number in a telephone inter-view Monday saying hersquos certain the total is less
Also Vaughan did not record his contributions and expenditures electronically with the commission doing so only with written docu-ments mailed to the agency
Anderson said Vaughan is required by law to file elec-tronically
Vaughan disputed the claim maintaining he was in compliance with state rules
ldquoId be real careful with that business right there young manrdquo Vaughan said when asked about the PDC violation
Vaughan later apolo-gized and acknowledged he received a letter from the state commission urging him to file electronically
He said he worked hard to follow the rules while cam-paigning which can be exten-
sive and complicated but he didnrsquot adhere to the electron-ic filing requirements solely for lack of computer skills
In other county races incumbent Republican Auditor Sheilah Crider raised $3700 and spent $2200 while Independent challeng-er Rebecca Wagnerrsquos totals are unknown as she is using the mini reporting option
Vying for the county treasurerrsquos seat incumbent Democrat Ana Maria Nuntildeez raised $7100 and spent $3800
Her largest contributors were the Island County Democrats $1500 in two payments and Leigh Power of Coupeville $400 All other contributions were under $200
Challenger Wanda Grone a Republican is ahead slight-ly with $7600 taken in and about $7100 spent Her larg-est supporter was the Island Republican Party with $700 and $300 checks from John Merrill Oak Harbor and Daryl Tyras of Houston Texas All other contribu-tions were under $200

Candy Slowik would be happy to see a library in nearly every neigh-borhood
In fact she recently opened a free library in front of her home on Southwest Erie Street where the policy is ldquotake a book leave a bookrdquo
Little Free Libraries is a move-ment that started in 2009 by Todd Bol and Rick Brooks of Wisconsin with a mission to promote literacy and a love of reading
Slowik said she learned about the concept when she visited Seattle with her grandchildren who took pleasure in showing her the various free libraries in their area
ldquoI just thought it was a really real-ly neat concept in Seattlerdquo she said
Shersquos hoping the idea will take off in Oak Harbor
As of right now Slowik said hers is only one of two pocket libraries in Oak Harbor the other being in the Whidbey Country Club parking lot
ldquoI just thought if people would get out and think about making these things that it would be fun for the neighborhoodrdquo she said
Bob and Rhonda Severns are also working towards opening a pocket library in Oak Harbor inspired by the statue in Windjammer Park ded-icated to three teachers as well as other pocket libraries Bob Severns saw in North Seattle
ldquoI think the opportunity to read and learn from that is one of the best things we can do no matter what age grouprdquo Bob Severns said
Hersquos planning on working with an Eagle Scout to design and build the library which when completed will be placed near the teachersrsquo statue in Windjammer Park
Hersquos hoping to get it done within a couple of months As of January 2014 the Little Free Library website estimated about 15000 free libraries worldwide including countries like Uganda Pakistan Lithuana and so many more
She opened hers about two weeks ago in front of her Candy Land Day Care located at 746 SE Erie Street It has since attracted the attention of passersby as well as the attention of the children who attend her day care
ldquoI have a lot of my day care kids hellip come up on their way home and
grab a bookrdquo Slowik said ldquoand then bring one from their houserdquo
Currently Slowikrsquos pocket library stocks books ranging in age groups form children to adult and she said
that people are welcome to stop by to find a book and to even sit on the nearby bricks to read
ldquoI think reading is importantrdquo Slowik said ldquoTherersquos nothing better than readingrdquo
Pocket libraries pop up in OH

Local magician JR Russell is hoping to magically repair the Whidbey Playhouse this weekend
Russell who is a retired Navy captain will be star-ring in a magic show to raise funds for the theater
The magic show is Saturday Oct 25 with show-ings at 1 pm and 4 pm
The matinee show is geared toward kids and costs $4 for kids and $6 for adults while the night show has more for the adults and tickets are $5 for kids and $10 for adults
Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the playhousersquos Raise the Roof project
The project which began in 2012 is aimed at upgrad-ing the 48-year-old nonprofit theater which produces five shows per season and hosts a
variety of other productions Russell who has been a
magician on Whidbey Island since 2011 got the idea to put on the show when he was sit-ting and talking with Hector Powell playhouse office man-ager Janis Powellrsquos husband and the facilities manager at the playhouse
Russell mentioned that the playhouse still needed some renovations considering that it was originally a church and
the original framework isnrsquot perfect for a theater So he and Hector Powell decided it was time for another magic show that would benefit Raise the Roof He put on the first magic show to benefit the program in 2012
Right now Janis Powell said the playhouse is look-ing to expand its fly space or above-stage space which would give the crew more options for set design and
other effects during theater productions
Russell invited three of his magician friends Mark Paulson Jim Earnshaw and Brian Cook Cook and Russell have both performed
in Las Vegas Together the four magicians will use all kinds of magic and illusions during the shows
ldquoThey do it for the love of doing magicrdquo Janis Powell said ldquoAnd helping us outrdquo

In the face of diminish-ing funding for state parks local parks staffs are get-ting creative to keep parks running smoothly
Representatives from Washington State Parks presented the agencyrsquos current condition to local leaders this week in efforts to both inform and seek partnerships that may help them do more with less
ldquoThe only way we can make this happen is if we all work togetherrdquo said Deception Pass Manager Jack Hartt to mem-bers of the Council of Governments
ldquoAlone I canrsquot do that on my own with my staff we canrsquot do it on our own But together if we work together as governments if we work together as neigh-bors and community hellip our state parks can work for all of usrdquo
The Island County Council of Governments includes Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy Island County Commissioner Helen Price
Johnson and Port of South Whidbey representative Curt Gordon
Combined Whidbey Islandrsquos nine state parks bring 47 million visitors each year with 27 going to Deception Pass alone
Daniel Farber policy and governmental affairs direc-tor for state parks said that the last few years have been tumultuous for state parks as funding has been slashed and the Discover Pass initiated
ldquoWersquore in such tumult right now wersquove laid off one- third of our full-time employeesrdquo Farber said
The state funded the parks with $94 million in the general fund as recently as 2009 but has cut that down steadily each year In 2013 the state gave only $85 million to parks
Farber said that while income from the Discover Pass has helped offset the statersquos shrinking contribu-tion state parks are still struggling to provide mini-mal services
On Whidbey the reality of cuts has meant reduced camping seasons at South Whidbey and Fort Ebey summer interpretive pro-
grams have been on hold office hours have been reduced and some rest-rooms are closed in the winter according to Central Whidbey Area Manager John Crimmins
Crimmins added that short staffing has lead to poor morale and motiva-tion therersquos not enough staff to open and close gates and problems at a specific park leaves other parks unattended
ldquoThe statersquos shrinking budget led to a need to reduce staff and find new ways to manage our parksrdquo Crimmins said
This has lead to creating a large management area for all Whidbey Island state parks with the exception of Deception Pass which has its own management team
Farber said when the Discover Pass was initiat-ed in 2011 the legislature directed state parks to work toward 100 percent self suf-ficiency a goal that he said is unrealistic
ldquoWe canrsquot get there we donrsquot want to get there we donrsquot think the public wants us to get thererdquo Farber said
ldquoWe think with a public
park system you need pub-lic stakeholdersrdquo
In that light state parks has attempted to form part-nerships with other organi-zations schools and volun-teer groups to stretch their resources
ldquoItrsquos not all doom and gloomrdquo Crimmins said ldquoWe found some solutionsrdquo
Among those include cre-ating a central office for
all permanent staff at Fort Casey an office assistant assumes many of the admin-istrative tasks supplies and products are standardized park rangers are schedules are prioritized by need and the volunteer program has been vastly expanded assist with park clean-ups and customer service
ldquoWersquove had all sorts of local volunteer helprdquo
Crimmins saidMoving forward state
parks is hoping to continue to find ways to generate rev-enue as well as rely on local partnerships Crimmins said
Just a few of these include island Lionrsquos Clubs local Boy Scout Troops the Island County Beachwatchers and schools
Struggling state parks find creative solutions

OPINION
LETTERS TO THE EDITORElection
See through latest lsquoOctober SurprisersquoEditor
I have always supported our mili-tary forces My mother served in the Marine Corps And after my father emigrated from Poland he worked on the design of the B-52 bomber while employed by Boeing
My father-in-law served in the Army during the Korean War and on the ICBM and McDonnell Douglas Harrier programs afterward My mother-in-law runs the VFW in her hometown Many of my high school classmates served in Vietnam I sup-ported their choices and welcomed home the ones who survived
I never protested against the war and I always thank troops and veter-ans for their service to our country
I have not changed my alliances mdash I support the US Navy and its operations in Island County
As an ldquoOctober surpriserdquo informa-tion was planted related to my signa-ture on an OLF petition requesting that the issue of continuing opera-
tions at OLF be submitted to the affected voters in an election
My concern with flights over Ebeyrsquos Reserve is directed at the release of jet fuel over farmlands where food crops are raised and areas of dense population
I have never attended a COER meeting nor have I given this group any financial support I ldquounsub-scribedrdquo from their communications when their tactics became extreme
My opponent has posted this on her website
ldquoI strongly support the military and NAS Whidbey unlike my oppo-nent who wants to close the baserdquo
I do not support closure of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station nor any other base in the state of Washington
The economic impacts to Whidbey Island would be enormous
I find it interesting that Ms Ana Maria Nuntildeez says she strongly sup-ports the local military yet is accept-ing campaign contributions from COER the group sponsoring the petition that she is chastising me for signing
Campaign contributions are gath-ered after personally meeting with supporters the supporters want their candidate elected because
their beliefs and standards align with those of the other
Ms Nuntildeezrsquos acceptance of these funds brings her claimed support of the military into question
My opponentrsquos campaign manager posted this on the NASWI I Support OLF Facebook page ldquoYes I am Eileen King and resident of OH I am also Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos campaign manager Yes Ana Maria like most candidates has accepted donations from people who are members or signed the petition for COER She is a candidate and doesnrsquot turn down free moneyrdquo
I hope you can see through this latest ldquoOctober surpriserdquo and follow the money to determine who is tell-ing you the truth here Look to the one who is accepting COERrsquos money
This is an election race for the Island County treasurer whose duties are to care for the taxpayersrsquo money
Why is it that the current treasurer wants to talk about anything except her performance in office where it is so obvious that she has failed to do just that mdash care for the taxpayersrsquo money

By Helen Price JohnsonHindsight is 2020 and looking back
I see a small transit agency that grew from the grass roots and built up on a shoestring to a vital public service Run by only one person habits were entrenched
Money was saved in hopes of building a facility to meet growing needs Once grant funds came the local match took all the savings Unfortunately the big construction project took the directorrsquos
focus away from monitoring daily finances Expenses exceeded revenues creating a shortfall Services had to be cut If the proper internal financial con-
trols had been in place less dramatic adjustments could have been made over time Cuts shouldrsquove been made sooner We know that now
Steps were taken to strengthen Island Transitrsquos checks and balances The board has increased its oversight of finances Two board members now meet regularly with staff to review bank statements expenses and revenues
A new professional sits in the Transit finance office and is updating the internal controls of the agency Monthly reports are improved so the board can better monitor the cash position The State Auditors just finished their review of the Island Transit books for 2013 and confirmed that the previous financial officer did not follow standard practices in a number of areas
Most significant were the cash shortfall and the control of the federal grant funds for the new building This yearrsquos reductions in service did ldquoright the shiprdquo and Transit is oper-ating in the black again modestly rebuilding a reserve
The auditors deemed $100 thousand of the $10 million grant as questionable No one stole any money but payroll records and equipment inventory were not adequate That has been fixed The audit confirmed the board of directors need to improve its oversight of the director This is an opportunity to start new practices
Most important to moving ahead is hiring a qualified interim executive director so the transit agency is stabilized for the future and the impacts of the cuts can be addressed Tentative plans are to hire someone by Thanksgiving
An interim position makes sense to provide transitional leadership for the organization and provide ample time for the process of selecting a long-term director
The community needs to say what they want for the sys-tem to provide in the future How can service be expanded Should it stay fare-free Routes need to be adjusted to better meet the needs of our citizens
The audit results show that the agency grew over time yet the internal financial controls and Board policies did not keep up Significant progress has been made and I will work hard to continue improving Island Transit for the future

Response to errors defines candidateEditor
My response to the endorsement of my opponent They use the mis-steps that have occurred this year as the reason they are endorsing my opponent
Election year errors The worst timing
My father says ldquoIt is not the error that defines you but your response to itrdquo My response ldquoCorrect and put plans in place to avoid these situations from reoccurringrdquo
My accomplishments barely men-tioned Partial Payment program alli-ance with the Opportunity Council decreasing banking costs by 70 per-cent elimination of supplement back-log etc
Almost all of the accomplishments for which my opponent takes credit were initiated before she was hired she was the liaison representing my office She speaks of ensuring reports are delivered in a timely manner but failed three years running to com-plete the one report for which she was responsible in the financial state-ments Her vision for the future is a copy of what I have already stated
No original thoughtsShe signed a petition to close OLF
Coupeville She openly stated that she would be personally financially better off if NAS Whidbey were to close Yet she slaps a ldquoSupport Our Troopsrdquo sticker on her car to garner the military vote
As a military spouse and mama I appreciate the sacrifice and ded-ication of our service members I understand that freedom also means sacrifice whether moving every few years or hearing the sound of free-dom overhead
I have given my heart and soul as treasurer to better serve you I hum-bly ask for your faith and vote again

Oak Harbor
Clark County treasurer confident in NuntildeezEditor
I appreciate Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos lead-ership in coordinating this last year the PACrsquos User Group which devel-ops the software programming pri-orities of the county treasurerrsquos True Automation property tax collection system for 13 counties in the state of Washington
Even during difficult personal and family health issues over the last 12 months Ana Maria continued to participate in the discussions and decisions of the Washington State Association of County Treasurers including state legislation and partici-pating on WSACT committees
She is a strong advocate for excel-lence in treasury management and an asset to the citizens of Island County
As a result of sharing ideas my office has implemented some of the processes developed by Ana Mariarsquos office to improve our operational activities
The voters of Island County would do well to reelect County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeez and help continue her efforts to implement programs and processes to improve customer service financial management and tax collection in the treasurerrsquos office

Rebecca Wagnerrsquos years of experi-ence as a CPA as well as her former employment with both Island and Skagit counties will make her a valu-able asset to the Island County audi-torrsquos office

I-594
Flawed measure needs off ballotEditor
I just received a flyer in the mail with Rory Graves supporting Initiative 594 I have to admit that it finally sent me over the edge
The television commercials with her do meet their intended purpose of pulling at my emotions through heart-tugging testimony But I have to inform you that it gets my attention for reasons other than what Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility would like
You see the entire campaign makes me realize how fortunate we are to live in a society where women can get self-defense and firearms training Roryrsquos mother chose to stay in an abusive relationship without seeking any of that training It very well could have prevented the situa-tion of her shooting
Nowhere does the printed flyer or television spot state that the husband mentioned was prohibited from own-ing a firearm
I find it inexcusable that the Alliance would exploit women in this fashion The training opportunities for women to safely carry and use if necessary a firearm are endless
However the passing of I-594 will take away the possibility of receiving that training Through insane restric-tions regarding firearms transfers I will no longer be able to share my experience or firearms with another woman interested in shooting for sport or self defense
My gun club will no longer pres-ent eight classes a year in youth and womenrsquos firearm safety The way the initiative is written is totally out of step with the Second Amendment or state constitution
I am truly curious whether anyone on the Alliance staff has read I-594
in its entirety and understands the implication that the passing of this bill would have Give us a break out here
Someone fess up and admit that this legislation needs to be pulled from the ballot

McDowell
Where is the evidence to support OLF claimEditor
In his Oct 18 letter to the Whidbey News-Times Mac McDowell wrote ldquoThe Navy has long said OLF Coupeville is essential to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station remaining openrdquo
When and where has the Navy ever said that Mr McDowell didnrsquot offer one direct quote from the Navy to support this statement
If the Navy had ever said that it would have been part of every dis-cussion about OLF in meetings and newspaper accounts and letters to the editor for the last several years
It would have been plastered on billboards all over the island
It would have stopped dead in its tracks any claim by those who want OLF closed that they donrsquot also want the air station closed
Where has that statement been hidden all of these years If Mr McDowell has access to it he should produce it If not in the interest of his own credibility he should admit that he misspoke
Ann AdamsOak Harbor
Speak up now in support of baseEditor
When the last EA-6B retires Whidbey Island Naval Air Stationrsquos EA-18G Growlers will be the only US airborne electronic jammers and therefore responsible to protect and defend all US military and alliesrsquo forces worldwide
The Chief of Naval Operations wants to add up to 36 additional EA-18G Growlers including two shore-based (non-carrier) squadrons along with the support jobs and per-sonnel to Whidbey
There are meetings 4-8 pm Oct 28 29 and 30 in Coupeville Oak Harbor and Anacortes to accept com-ments in the EIS process
In 1989-90 a Coupeville anti-Navy group was instrumental through com-plaint efforts to get NAS Whidbey on the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure list
A similar anti-Navy Coupeville group is again trying to shut down NAS Whidbey by forcing the Growlers to cease flying on Whidbey
In 1990 the local community did not respond prior to BRAC On either Oct 28 29 or 30 you have the oppor-tunity to respond proactively support-ing NAS Whidbeyrsquos expansion and telling the Navy the Coupeville anti-Navy group represents a very vocal but extreme minority of residents
Seventy-plus years of Navy
operations at NAS WhidbeyOLF Coupeville should be grandfathered to allow the Navy to return to the same number of Navy personnel and jobs as was here when the A-6 was operational
The expansion is needed nation-ally Hopefully this time different from 1991 we can proactively support the Navy defeat the anti-Navy efforts and keep NAS Whidbey off the 2017 BRAC closure list
If you canrsquot attend you can com-ment supporting the Navy on wwwwhidbeyeiscom
If you donrsquot have internet access call Mac McDowell at 360-929-8207 for a comment form
This time the community needs to work to protect NAS Whidbey and to protect our local economy The Washington governorrsquos economic report indicates NAS Whidbey is the source of 88 percent of all economic activity in Island County

WEANThanks for celebrating 25 years of protectionEditor
Whidbey Environmental Action Network wants to thank all who par-ticipated and contributed to a very successful fun for all ldquoWEANFest Celebrating 25 years of Protecting Our Native Biodiversityrdquo
We especially want to thank the folks who attended the annual meet-ing and potluck donated to the silent auction bought donated items as well as Greenbank Farmrsquos fantastic new rental facility manager Madisun Clark
We also want to thank the great performers who raised the roof and blew the doors off the barn with their glorious music Whidbeyrsquos own Cranberry Bog Blue Grass Band Bellinghamrsquos soulful mischievous baritone Dana Lyons Orcas Islandrsquos banjo playing folksy singer Tom Rawson and his Baez-channeling part-ner Katherine Ellice from Vancouver British Columbia
I know many are wondering who won the Busted Bulldozer and Home Island Hero awards The Dozer went to Oak Harbor mayor Scott Dudley and the Oak Harbor City Council for callously cutting down an Oak Harbor icon the Post Office oak tree
The second award went to ex-Island County Commissioner Angie Homola for her efforts while in office Though competition was stiff in both cases the decibel meter went off the scale in favor of the winners
One reason WEANfest was held at the farm was because WEAN was instrumental in its evolution When Chateau Ste Michele Winery decid-ed to sell the farm in 1995 WEAN organized the first meeting Eighty people crammed the Greenbank Progressive Hall to strategize a plan
The rest is history and typical of what we do It is truly a jewel in the navel of Whidbey Island and a resource for residents and the region
With your continued support we look forward to 25 more years of championing sustainable strategies for a viable verdant and healthy future

In the first set the Chargers hung around for a while Oak Harbor led only 14-11 then ran off four straight points behind the
serving of Anderson to pull away
The Wildcats jumped to a 7-1 lead in the second game and were never threatened

Glacier Peak and Shorewood handed the Oak Harbor soccer team losses this week
Visiting GP stopped the Wild-cats 3-1 Tuesday and Oak Harbor lost 3-0 at Shorewood Thursday
Against the Grizzlies a couple of breakdowns proved costly
ldquoI thought we played them tough with the exception of three or four mistakesrdquo coach Mike Lonborg said
The Grizzlies (4-4-1 5-7-1) scored two of their goals off cor-ner kicks which was a trouble-some area for the Wildcats Lon-borg said
ldquoWe had a serious lack of com-municationrdquo Lonborg said
Natalie Gabbert tied the match at 1-1 with a penalty kick early in the second half then Glacier Peak put the match away with two goals in 90 seconds midway through the second period
Against Shorewood (7-2-2 8-5-2) Lonborg suited up only 13 play-ers because of injuries
Though shorthanded the Wild-cats ldquoplayed hard but it wasnrsquot enoughrdquo Lonborg said
ldquoShorewood had great posses-sion and controlled the flow the majority of the gamerdquo he added
The loss eliminated Oak Harbor from playoff contention

group deployed since Feb 15 according to the NavyNAS Whidbey-based VAQ 134 has been a part of the
departing strike group and the squadrons involvement will be the Navyrsquos final job for the Prowler
ldquoThis is the final Navy EA-6B Prowler deployment and that despite its age compared to the modern EA-18G Growler the old Prowler thanks to its dedicated maintain-ers and air crew is proving itself right up to the endrdquo said Lt Joseph Hontz US 5th Fleet spokesman
The carrierrsquos air wing amassed 32611 flight hours 12548 total sorties and 9752 traps supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS and terrorists in Iraq and Syria according to the Navy
The Navy said in earlier news releases that the electronic
attack squadrons are assisting in air strikes performed by the US Air Forcersquos FA-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft and that approximately 74 percent of the attacks are by the Air Force
ldquoThe sailors who man our ships and squadrons should be extremely proud of what we as a team accomplished while deployed to the 5th Fleetrdquo said Rear Adm DeWolfe Miller in a statement released by the Navy
ldquoCarl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their pres-ence like ours will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorismrdquo
In addition to the Growler squadron the Carl Vinson strike group comprises seven squadrons of various attack and support aircraft totaling 6200 sailors
The carrier is also accompanied by four destroyersUpon its return to Whidbey VAQ 134 will begin its tran-
sition to the Growler which will complete the Navy-wide transition by the 2015 target date
Prowlers will still be flown by the Marine Corps squad-rons

appointed to the position during the meeting at which commissioner Dave Walton resigned It was later determined the board didnrsquot fol-low the proper legal process in making the appointment and it was later rescinded
The candidates were briefly interviewed before the board voted
Wendy Shingleton appointed to fill for-mer commissioner Kirk Hufferrsquos seat on the board asked the candidates applied for the position
ldquoThe pool isnrsquot quite meeting my needsrdquo Holly replied ldquoI donrsquot think itrsquos meeting some of the peoplersquos needs hellip I have a lot of talent and energy and skill to bring to this position
and I think hellip I would be good for itrdquoWhile in the Navy Holly said she gained
leadership experience and worked with bud-gets facilities maintenance and ldquobuilding new buildingsrdquo
Robinson cited her experience and his-tory with the district and her background in accounting and auditing
Commissioner Steve Hoffmire asked what each candidate could bring to help erase a negative image of the district some in the community might have
Holly said that her lack of history with the district was an asset
ldquoI think I bring a fresh perspective and fresh energyrdquo Holly said ldquoIrsquom not burdened by the past I donrsquot know any of you peoplerdquo
Robinson said that her relationship with the pool was vital and if appointed she could draw back some people who left the pool
Before the vote Hoffmire said that he would abstain because of how the district mishandled Robinsonrsquos appointment
ldquoWe made a mistake and we owned itrdquo Hoffmire said
ldquoBut I believe the process is somewhat taintedrdquo
Hoffmire said a part of him wanted to let the 90-day deadline expire so the Island County commissioners would fill the position
ldquoI think some things were said that tend to make people believe the process is biased and I am very concerned with thatrdquo Hoffmire said ldquoAnd Irsquom very concerned with the image we have here The way that wersquove done busi-ness has caused people to raise an eyebrow over these past couple of years
ldquoI want to be completely fairrdquoParks board members Sean Merrill and
Shingleton voted to appoint Holly to the vacant
seat Chairman Allan McDougall affirmed the vote
ldquoItrsquos an honorrdquo Holly said ldquoI know there are issues I read the paper Irsquove seen there are issues with the pool and there are going to be issues with the budget and I think we need to do somethingrdquo
Holly said her goals as a commissioner include scheduling more lap time something she takes advantage of as a swimmer when she can and one day getting a bigger pool and making the pool self-funded
ldquoI just think we need to find a way to get it self-supportingrdquo Holly said
ldquoFundraising or I donrsquot know Irsquom new to this Irsquove had a lot of questions building up in my head so hopefully Irsquoll be able to answer thoserdquo

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

where knowledge makesthe difference
Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

Christopher Malaga showed no emotion as he sat in court Wednesday
He remained stone-faced as a woman wailed in sorrow from the galley crowded with members of his alleged victimrsquos family
The 23-year-old is accused of shooting and killing Adam Garcia a man who apparently was his friend before a falling out
Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks charged Malaga mdash whorsquos also known as Chris Midas and Chris G mdash with second-degree murder in Island County Superior Court Monday
Wednesday he announced during Malagarsquos preliminary hearing that he was adding a special allega-tion that the defendant was armed with a firearm It could add an additional five years to the sentence
Banks argued that Malaga should be held on $1-million bail
ldquoHe committed an unpro-voked homicidal act against an unarmed young manrdquo Banks said adding that he shot Garcia ldquoin full view of two eye witnesses without regard for the consequenc-esrdquo
Judge Donald Eaton who was visiting from San Juan County agreed with the bail recommendation
The motive for the shoot-
ing remains unclear to investigators
Oak Harbor Police Chief Ed Green said this week that investigators havenrsquot nailed that down complete-ly
In an interview Banks said the case initially looked like a drug deal that went bad but subsequent inves-tigation revealed that the motive behind the Oct 18 shooting might have been something different per-haps more personal
ldquoBut therersquos still a lot of information I donrsquot have yetrdquo he said
Banks said that Malaga had been ldquocouch surfingrdquo at Garciarsquos home prior to the shooting but they got into an argument and Garcia evicted him
Malaga went to stay at a 17-year-old boyrsquos home in Oak Harbor
Garcia allegedly con-tacted that teenager to buy some cocaine for a 24-year-old friend and they decided to meet at the corner of Southwest Castillian and Fairhaven drives at around 3 am according to the report by Detective Jim Hoagland with the Oak Harbor Police
The teenager brought Malaga along Garcia also brought his friend who wanted the cocaine the report states
A woman drove Garcia to the scene He told her that she should call the police if he didnrsquot return in
six minutes mdash just in case Garcia joked he ended up getting shot according to the report
Trouble allegedly started after the drug sale Banks said it was a small amount mdash ldquopersonal-use levelrdquo mdash of the drug
ldquoItrsquos not the sort of thing you would expect a shoot-ing overrdquo he said
The teenager later told police that Malaga stepped in and confronted Garcia after the drug transaction Malaga accused Garcia of trying to ldquojackrdquo him and pointed a gun at him the report states
Garcia wasnrsquot cowed but came up to Malaga as he was pointing the gun Garciarsquos friend got in the middle of the two the report states
His friend later told police that Garcia went back toward Malaga again and Malaga shot him in the face the report states
The friend knocked on a homeownerrsquos door and asked the resident to call 911 He waited with Garcia as police arrived
Garcia died after the first police officer arrived
Malaga returned to the teenagerrsquos house and got a ride to Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham the next day the report states
Banks said he charged Malaga Monday based on the preliminary report By filing charges he explained he was able to secure a
$1-million arrest warrant for Malaga and obtain the help of the US Marshalrsquos Service and other agencies in finding Malaga
Green said detectives were able to track down Malaga relatively quickly through a combination of ldquogood old-fashioned police workrdquo and the use of tech-nology
Malaga was ultimate-ly arrested outside a Bellingham gas station after a traffic stop he said
Court records show that Malaga has a juvenile history of misdemeanor drug and theft charges He was from Toms River New Jersey but moved to Whidbey Island about nine months ago he didnrsquot have a permanent address but had been living with friends according to the police
If convicted of the charge and the firearm allegation Malaga could face from 20 to 28 years in prison under the standard sentencing range
Bail set at $1 million for alleged shooter

Murder suspect Christopher Malaga appears in Island County Superior Court Wednesday with attorney Jennifer Bouwens
By JUSTIN BURNETTWhidbey News Group
If money makes a dif-ference in races for politi-cal office then it appears Island County District 3 Commissioner candidate Karla Jacks will have a hefty advantage over challenger Rick Hannold on Nov 4
According to the state Public Disclosure Commission the agency that monitors campaign con-tributions and expenditures Jacks a Camano Island Democrat has amassed a war chest of nearly $39000
Hannold a North Whidbey Republican raised about $2500
Jacks said Thursday the amount she raised was no accident but the result of steps she took months ago as a political newcomer
ldquoI actually went to some classes learning how much to budget and what things
would costrdquo Jacks saidThe vast difference in
contributions is a concern Hannold said but added that probably wonrsquot be the decid-ing factor in the race
His campaign was ldquograss-rootsrdquo from the beginning he said and there are better ways to get the message out than with signs or commer-cials
ldquoIve been putting a lot of miles on my shoesrdquo Hannold said
ldquoBesides I think face-to-face is the best thingrdquo
Hannold is recording under the mini reporting option meaning he doesnt have to report individual con-tributors or expenditures as long as the total stays under $5000
He neared the benchmark around the August primary election and asked a change to the full-reporting option but missed deadlines for the
switchHes had to make do with
about a dozen large signs and about 225 small ones
As of this week Hannold had spent about $3200 said PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson
Jacks has spent nearly $26600 according to the PDC much of it on profes-sional campaign assistance A sum total of $4000 went to Sound Strategies a Marysville-based consultant and $10500 to her campaign manager Nathan Haugen grandson of the former state senator Mary Margaret Haugen
The total spent is likely more as the statersquos website hasnrsquot caught up with an approximately $8000 expen-diture for mailers this week Jacks said She noted that shersquos still raising money and anticipates her total expendi-tures and contributions will
be about even though she also hopes to have some left over in the event she runs for a second term
A mailer for Hannold arrived in mailboxes late this week but he confirmed Friday that it was not sent or paid for by the Hannold campaign
Jacksrsquo largest individual financial supporters were the Island County Democratic Central Committee con-tributing a total of $3950 in two separate payments and $3700 from Windermere Real Estate brokers Randy and Marla Heagle on Camano Island
Other big contributors all of whom gave $1000 in sepa-rate $500 payments include Jones Floyd of Seattle Diane Kendy of Langley Robin and Stanley Nelson of Shoreline and Craig and Rose Olson of Camano Island
Appointed District 3
Republican Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan before being defeated in the prima-ry raised $7900 and spent about $12000 according to the commissionrsquos website
Vaughan disputed the number in a telephone inter-view Monday saying hersquos certain the total is less
Also Vaughan did not record his contributions and expenditures electronically with the commission doing so only with written docu-ments mailed to the agency
Anderson said Vaughan is required by law to file elec-tronically
Vaughan disputed the claim maintaining he was in compliance with state rules
ldquoId be real careful with that business right there young manrdquo Vaughan said when asked about the PDC violation
Vaughan later apolo-gized and acknowledged he received a letter from the state commission urging him to file electronically
He said he worked hard to follow the rules while cam-paigning which can be exten-
sive and complicated but he didnrsquot adhere to the electron-ic filing requirements solely for lack of computer skills
In other county races incumbent Republican Auditor Sheilah Crider raised $3700 and spent $2200 while Independent challeng-er Rebecca Wagnerrsquos totals are unknown as she is using the mini reporting option
Vying for the county treasurerrsquos seat incumbent Democrat Ana Maria Nuntildeez raised $7100 and spent $3800
Her largest contributors were the Island County Democrats $1500 in two payments and Leigh Power of Coupeville $400 All other contributions were under $200
Challenger Wanda Grone a Republican is ahead slight-ly with $7600 taken in and about $7100 spent Her larg-est supporter was the Island Republican Party with $700 and $300 checks from John Merrill Oak Harbor and Daryl Tyras of Houston Texas All other contribu-tions were under $200

PDC reporting offers glimpse into support campaign strategies
By MICHELLE BEAHMStaff reporter
Candy Slowik would be happy to see a library in nearly every neigh-borhood
In fact she recently opened a free library in front of her home on Southwest Erie Street where the policy is ldquotake a book leave a bookrdquo
Little Free Libraries is a move-ment that started in 2009 by Todd Bol and Rick Brooks of Wisconsin with a mission to promote literacy and a love of reading
Slowik said she learned about the concept when she visited Seattle with her grandchildren who took pleasure in showing her the various free libraries in their area
ldquoI just thought it was a really real-ly neat concept in Seattlerdquo she said
Shersquos hoping the idea will take off in Oak Harbor
As of right now Slowik said hers is only one of two pocket libraries in Oak Harbor the other being in the Whidbey Country Club parking lot
ldquoI just thought if people would get out and think about making these things that it would be fun for the neighborhoodrdquo she said
Bob and Rhonda Severns are also working towards opening a pocket library in Oak Harbor inspired by the statue in Windjammer Park ded-icated to three teachers as well as other pocket libraries Bob Severns saw in North Seattle
ldquoI think the opportunity to read and learn from that is one of the best things we can do no matter what age grouprdquo Bob Severns said
Hersquos planning on working with an Eagle Scout to design and build the library which when completed will be placed near the teachersrsquo statue in Windjammer Park
Hersquos hoping to get it done within a couple of months As of January 2014 the Little Free Library website estimated about 15000 free libraries worldwide including countries like Uganda Pakistan Lithuana and so many more
She opened hers about two weeks ago in front of her Candy Land Day Care located at 746 SE Erie Street It has since attracted the attention of passersby as well as the attention of the children who attend her day care
ldquoI have a lot of my day care kids hellip come up on their way home and
grab a bookrdquo Slowik said ldquoand then bring one from their houserdquo
Currently Slowikrsquos pocket library stocks books ranging in age groups form children to adult and she said
that people are welcome to stop by to find a book and to even sit on the nearby bricks to read
ldquoI think reading is importantrdquo Slowik said ldquoTherersquos nothing better than readingrdquo
Pocket libraries pop up in OH

Local magician JR Russell is hoping to magically repair the Whidbey Playhouse this weekend
Russell who is a retired Navy captain will be star-ring in a magic show to raise funds for the theater
The magic show is Saturday Oct 25 with show-ings at 1 pm and 4 pm
The matinee show is geared toward kids and costs $4 for kids and $6 for adults while the night show has more for the adults and tickets are $5 for kids and $10 for adults
Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the playhousersquos Raise the Roof project
The project which began in 2012 is aimed at upgrad-ing the 48-year-old nonprofit theater which produces five shows per season and hosts a
variety of other productions Russell who has been a
magician on Whidbey Island since 2011 got the idea to put on the show when he was sit-ting and talking with Hector Powell playhouse office man-ager Janis Powellrsquos husband and the facilities manager at the playhouse
Russell mentioned that the playhouse still needed some renovations considering that it was originally a church and
the original framework isnrsquot perfect for a theater So he and Hector Powell decided it was time for another magic show that would benefit Raise the Roof He put on the first magic show to benefit the program in 2012
Right now Janis Powell said the playhouse is look-ing to expand its fly space or above-stage space which would give the crew more options for set design and
other effects during theater productions
Russell invited three of his magician friends Mark Paulson Jim Earnshaw and Brian Cook Cook and Russell have both performed
in Las Vegas Together the four magicians will use all kinds of magic and illusions during the shows
ldquoThey do it for the love of doing magicrdquo Janis Powell said ldquoAnd helping us outrdquo

In the face of diminish-ing funding for state parks local parks staffs are get-ting creative to keep parks running smoothly
Representatives from Washington State Parks presented the agencyrsquos current condition to local leaders this week in efforts to both inform and seek partnerships that may help them do more with less
ldquoThe only way we can make this happen is if we all work togetherrdquo said Deception Pass Manager Jack Hartt to mem-bers of the Council of Governments
ldquoAlone I canrsquot do that on my own with my staff we canrsquot do it on our own But together if we work together as governments if we work together as neigh-bors and community hellip our state parks can work for all of usrdquo
The Island County Council of Governments includes Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy Island County Commissioner Helen Price
Johnson and Port of South Whidbey representative Curt Gordon
Combined Whidbey Islandrsquos nine state parks bring 47 million visitors each year with 27 going to Deception Pass alone
Daniel Farber policy and governmental affairs direc-tor for state parks said that the last few years have been tumultuous for state parks as funding has been slashed and the Discover Pass initiated
ldquoWersquore in such tumult right now wersquove laid off one- third of our full-time employeesrdquo Farber said
The state funded the parks with $94 million in the general fund as recently as 2009 but has cut that down steadily each year In 2013 the state gave only $85 million to parks
Farber said that while income from the Discover Pass has helped offset the statersquos shrinking contribu-tion state parks are still struggling to provide mini-mal services
On Whidbey the reality of cuts has meant reduced camping seasons at South Whidbey and Fort Ebey summer interpretive pro-
grams have been on hold office hours have been reduced and some rest-rooms are closed in the winter according to Central Whidbey Area Manager John Crimmins
Crimmins added that short staffing has lead to poor morale and motiva-tion therersquos not enough staff to open and close gates and problems at a specific park leaves other parks unattended
ldquoThe statersquos shrinking budget led to a need to reduce staff and find new ways to manage our parksrdquo Crimmins said
This has lead to creating a large management area for all Whidbey Island state parks with the exception of Deception Pass which has its own management team
Farber said when the Discover Pass was initiat-ed in 2011 the legislature directed state parks to work toward 100 percent self suf-ficiency a goal that he said is unrealistic
ldquoWe canrsquot get there we donrsquot want to get there we donrsquot think the public wants us to get thererdquo Farber said
ldquoWe think with a public
park system you need pub-lic stakeholdersrdquo
In that light state parks has attempted to form part-nerships with other organi-zations schools and volun-teer groups to stretch their resources
ldquoItrsquos not all doom and gloomrdquo Crimmins said ldquoWe found some solutionsrdquo
Among those include cre-ating a central office for
all permanent staff at Fort Casey an office assistant assumes many of the admin-istrative tasks supplies and products are standardized park rangers are schedules are prioritized by need and the volunteer program has been vastly expanded assist with park clean-ups and customer service
ldquoWersquove had all sorts of local volunteer helprdquo
Crimmins saidMoving forward state
parks is hoping to continue to find ways to generate rev-enue as well as rely on local partnerships Crimmins said
Just a few of these include island Lionrsquos Clubs local Boy Scout Troops the Island County Beachwatchers and schools
Struggling state parks find creative solutions

OPINION
LETTERS TO THE EDITORElection
See through latest lsquoOctober SurprisersquoEditor
I have always supported our mili-tary forces My mother served in the Marine Corps And after my father emigrated from Poland he worked on the design of the B-52 bomber while employed by Boeing
My father-in-law served in the Army during the Korean War and on the ICBM and McDonnell Douglas Harrier programs afterward My mother-in-law runs the VFW in her hometown Many of my high school classmates served in Vietnam I sup-ported their choices and welcomed home the ones who survived
I never protested against the war and I always thank troops and veter-ans for their service to our country
I have not changed my alliances mdash I support the US Navy and its operations in Island County
As an ldquoOctober surpriserdquo informa-tion was planted related to my signa-ture on an OLF petition requesting that the issue of continuing opera-
tions at OLF be submitted to the affected voters in an election
My concern with flights over Ebeyrsquos Reserve is directed at the release of jet fuel over farmlands where food crops are raised and areas of dense population
I have never attended a COER meeting nor have I given this group any financial support I ldquounsub-scribedrdquo from their communications when their tactics became extreme
My opponent has posted this on her website
ldquoI strongly support the military and NAS Whidbey unlike my oppo-nent who wants to close the baserdquo
I do not support closure of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station nor any other base in the state of Washington
The economic impacts to Whidbey Island would be enormous
I find it interesting that Ms Ana Maria Nuntildeez says she strongly sup-ports the local military yet is accept-ing campaign contributions from COER the group sponsoring the petition that she is chastising me for signing
Campaign contributions are gath-ered after personally meeting with supporters the supporters want their candidate elected because
their beliefs and standards align with those of the other
Ms Nuntildeezrsquos acceptance of these funds brings her claimed support of the military into question
My opponentrsquos campaign manager posted this on the NASWI I Support OLF Facebook page ldquoYes I am Eileen King and resident of OH I am also Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos campaign manager Yes Ana Maria like most candidates has accepted donations from people who are members or signed the petition for COER She is a candidate and doesnrsquot turn down free moneyrdquo
I hope you can see through this latest ldquoOctober surpriserdquo and follow the money to determine who is tell-ing you the truth here Look to the one who is accepting COERrsquos money
This is an election race for the Island County treasurer whose duties are to care for the taxpayersrsquo money
Why is it that the current treasurer wants to talk about anything except her performance in office where it is so obvious that she has failed to do just that mdash care for the taxpayersrsquo money

By Helen Price JohnsonHindsight is 2020 and looking back
I see a small transit agency that grew from the grass roots and built up on a shoestring to a vital public service Run by only one person habits were entrenched
Money was saved in hopes of building a facility to meet growing needs Once grant funds came the local match took all the savings Unfortunately the big construction project took the directorrsquos
focus away from monitoring daily finances Expenses exceeded revenues creating a shortfall Services had to be cut If the proper internal financial con-
trols had been in place less dramatic adjustments could have been made over time Cuts shouldrsquove been made sooner We know that now
Steps were taken to strengthen Island Transitrsquos checks and balances The board has increased its oversight of finances Two board members now meet regularly with staff to review bank statements expenses and revenues
A new professional sits in the Transit finance office and is updating the internal controls of the agency Monthly reports are improved so the board can better monitor the cash position The State Auditors just finished their review of the Island Transit books for 2013 and confirmed that the previous financial officer did not follow standard practices in a number of areas
Most significant were the cash shortfall and the control of the federal grant funds for the new building This yearrsquos reductions in service did ldquoright the shiprdquo and Transit is oper-ating in the black again modestly rebuilding a reserve
The auditors deemed $100 thousand of the $10 million grant as questionable No one stole any money but payroll records and equipment inventory were not adequate That has been fixed The audit confirmed the board of directors need to improve its oversight of the director This is an opportunity to start new practices
Most important to moving ahead is hiring a qualified interim executive director so the transit agency is stabilized for the future and the impacts of the cuts can be addressed Tentative plans are to hire someone by Thanksgiving
An interim position makes sense to provide transitional leadership for the organization and provide ample time for the process of selecting a long-term director
The community needs to say what they want for the sys-tem to provide in the future How can service be expanded Should it stay fare-free Routes need to be adjusted to better meet the needs of our citizens
The audit results show that the agency grew over time yet the internal financial controls and Board policies did not keep up Significant progress has been made and I will work hard to continue improving Island Transit for the future

Response to errors defines candidateEditor
My response to the endorsement of my opponent They use the mis-steps that have occurred this year as the reason they are endorsing my opponent
Election year errors The worst timing
My father says ldquoIt is not the error that defines you but your response to itrdquo My response ldquoCorrect and put plans in place to avoid these situations from reoccurringrdquo
My accomplishments barely men-tioned Partial Payment program alli-ance with the Opportunity Council decreasing banking costs by 70 per-cent elimination of supplement back-log etc
Almost all of the accomplishments for which my opponent takes credit were initiated before she was hired she was the liaison representing my office She speaks of ensuring reports are delivered in a timely manner but failed three years running to com-plete the one report for which she was responsible in the financial state-ments Her vision for the future is a copy of what I have already stated
No original thoughtsShe signed a petition to close OLF
Coupeville She openly stated that she would be personally financially better off if NAS Whidbey were to close Yet she slaps a ldquoSupport Our Troopsrdquo sticker on her car to garner the military vote
As a military spouse and mama I appreciate the sacrifice and ded-ication of our service members I understand that freedom also means sacrifice whether moving every few years or hearing the sound of free-dom overhead
I have given my heart and soul as treasurer to better serve you I hum-bly ask for your faith and vote again

Oak Harbor
Clark County treasurer confident in NuntildeezEditor
I appreciate Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos lead-ership in coordinating this last year the PACrsquos User Group which devel-ops the software programming pri-orities of the county treasurerrsquos True Automation property tax collection system for 13 counties in the state of Washington
Even during difficult personal and family health issues over the last 12 months Ana Maria continued to participate in the discussions and decisions of the Washington State Association of County Treasurers including state legislation and partici-pating on WSACT committees
She is a strong advocate for excel-lence in treasury management and an asset to the citizens of Island County
As a result of sharing ideas my office has implemented some of the processes developed by Ana Mariarsquos office to improve our operational activities
The voters of Island County would do well to reelect County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeez and help continue her efforts to implement programs and processes to improve customer service financial management and tax collection in the treasurerrsquos office

Rebecca Wagnerrsquos years of experi-ence as a CPA as well as her former employment with both Island and Skagit counties will make her a valu-able asset to the Island County audi-torrsquos office

I-594
Flawed measure needs off ballotEditor
I just received a flyer in the mail with Rory Graves supporting Initiative 594 I have to admit that it finally sent me over the edge
The television commercials with her do meet their intended purpose of pulling at my emotions through heart-tugging testimony But I have to inform you that it gets my attention for reasons other than what Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility would like
You see the entire campaign makes me realize how fortunate we are to live in a society where women can get self-defense and firearms training Roryrsquos mother chose to stay in an abusive relationship without seeking any of that training It very well could have prevented the situa-tion of her shooting
Nowhere does the printed flyer or television spot state that the husband mentioned was prohibited from own-ing a firearm
I find it inexcusable that the Alliance would exploit women in this fashion The training opportunities for women to safely carry and use if necessary a firearm are endless
However the passing of I-594 will take away the possibility of receiving that training Through insane restric-tions regarding firearms transfers I will no longer be able to share my experience or firearms with another woman interested in shooting for sport or self defense
My gun club will no longer pres-ent eight classes a year in youth and womenrsquos firearm safety The way the initiative is written is totally out of step with the Second Amendment or state constitution
I am truly curious whether anyone on the Alliance staff has read I-594
in its entirety and understands the implication that the passing of this bill would have Give us a break out here
Someone fess up and admit that this legislation needs to be pulled from the ballot

McDowell
Where is the evidence to support OLF claimEditor
In his Oct 18 letter to the Whidbey News-Times Mac McDowell wrote ldquoThe Navy has long said OLF Coupeville is essential to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station remaining openrdquo
When and where has the Navy ever said that Mr McDowell didnrsquot offer one direct quote from the Navy to support this statement
If the Navy had ever said that it would have been part of every dis-cussion about OLF in meetings and newspaper accounts and letters to the editor for the last several years
It would have been plastered on billboards all over the island
It would have stopped dead in its tracks any claim by those who want OLF closed that they donrsquot also want the air station closed
Where has that statement been hidden all of these years If Mr McDowell has access to it he should produce it If not in the interest of his own credibility he should admit that he misspoke
Ann AdamsOak Harbor
Speak up now in support of baseEditor
When the last EA-6B retires Whidbey Island Naval Air Stationrsquos EA-18G Growlers will be the only US airborne electronic jammers and therefore responsible to protect and defend all US military and alliesrsquo forces worldwide
The Chief of Naval Operations wants to add up to 36 additional EA-18G Growlers including two shore-based (non-carrier) squadrons along with the support jobs and per-sonnel to Whidbey
There are meetings 4-8 pm Oct 28 29 and 30 in Coupeville Oak Harbor and Anacortes to accept com-ments in the EIS process
In 1989-90 a Coupeville anti-Navy group was instrumental through com-plaint efforts to get NAS Whidbey on the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure list
A similar anti-Navy Coupeville group is again trying to shut down NAS Whidbey by forcing the Growlers to cease flying on Whidbey
In 1990 the local community did not respond prior to BRAC On either Oct 28 29 or 30 you have the oppor-tunity to respond proactively support-ing NAS Whidbeyrsquos expansion and telling the Navy the Coupeville anti-Navy group represents a very vocal but extreme minority of residents
Seventy-plus years of Navy
operations at NAS WhidbeyOLF Coupeville should be grandfathered to allow the Navy to return to the same number of Navy personnel and jobs as was here when the A-6 was operational
The expansion is needed nation-ally Hopefully this time different from 1991 we can proactively support the Navy defeat the anti-Navy efforts and keep NAS Whidbey off the 2017 BRAC closure list
If you canrsquot attend you can com-ment supporting the Navy on wwwwhidbeyeiscom
If you donrsquot have internet access call Mac McDowell at 360-929-8207 for a comment form
This time the community needs to work to protect NAS Whidbey and to protect our local economy The Washington governorrsquos economic report indicates NAS Whidbey is the source of 88 percent of all economic activity in Island County

WEANThanks for celebrating 25 years of protectionEditor
Whidbey Environmental Action Network wants to thank all who par-ticipated and contributed to a very successful fun for all ldquoWEANFest Celebrating 25 years of Protecting Our Native Biodiversityrdquo
We especially want to thank the folks who attended the annual meet-ing and potluck donated to the silent auction bought donated items as well as Greenbank Farmrsquos fantastic new rental facility manager Madisun Clark
We also want to thank the great performers who raised the roof and blew the doors off the barn with their glorious music Whidbeyrsquos own Cranberry Bog Blue Grass Band Bellinghamrsquos soulful mischievous baritone Dana Lyons Orcas Islandrsquos banjo playing folksy singer Tom Rawson and his Baez-channeling part-ner Katherine Ellice from Vancouver British Columbia
I know many are wondering who won the Busted Bulldozer and Home Island Hero awards The Dozer went to Oak Harbor mayor Scott Dudley and the Oak Harbor City Council for callously cutting down an Oak Harbor icon the Post Office oak tree
The second award went to ex-Island County Commissioner Angie Homola for her efforts while in office Though competition was stiff in both cases the decibel meter went off the scale in favor of the winners
One reason WEANfest was held at the farm was because WEAN was instrumental in its evolution When Chateau Ste Michele Winery decid-ed to sell the farm in 1995 WEAN organized the first meeting Eighty people crammed the Greenbank Progressive Hall to strategize a plan
The rest is history and typical of what we do It is truly a jewel in the navel of Whidbey Island and a resource for residents and the region
With your continued support we look forward to 25 more years of championing sustainable strategies for a viable verdant and healthy future

In the first set the Chargers hung around for a while Oak Harbor led only 14-11 then ran off four straight points behind the
serving of Anderson to pull away
The Wildcats jumped to a 7-1 lead in the second game and were never threatened

Glacier Peak and Shorewood handed the Oak Harbor soccer team losses this week
Visiting GP stopped the Wild-cats 3-1 Tuesday and Oak Harbor lost 3-0 at Shorewood Thursday
Against the Grizzlies a couple of breakdowns proved costly
ldquoI thought we played them tough with the exception of three or four mistakesrdquo coach Mike Lonborg said
The Grizzlies (4-4-1 5-7-1) scored two of their goals off cor-ner kicks which was a trouble-some area for the Wildcats Lon-borg said
ldquoWe had a serious lack of com-municationrdquo Lonborg said
Natalie Gabbert tied the match at 1-1 with a penalty kick early in the second half then Glacier Peak put the match away with two goals in 90 seconds midway through the second period
Against Shorewood (7-2-2 8-5-2) Lonborg suited up only 13 play-ers because of injuries
Though shorthanded the Wild-cats ldquoplayed hard but it wasnrsquot enoughrdquo Lonborg said
ldquoShorewood had great posses-sion and controlled the flow the majority of the gamerdquo he added
The loss eliminated Oak Harbor from playoff contention

group deployed since Feb 15 according to the NavyNAS Whidbey-based VAQ 134 has been a part of the
departing strike group and the squadrons involvement will be the Navyrsquos final job for the Prowler
ldquoThis is the final Navy EA-6B Prowler deployment and that despite its age compared to the modern EA-18G Growler the old Prowler thanks to its dedicated maintain-ers and air crew is proving itself right up to the endrdquo said Lt Joseph Hontz US 5th Fleet spokesman
The carrierrsquos air wing amassed 32611 flight hours 12548 total sorties and 9752 traps supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS and terrorists in Iraq and Syria according to the Navy
The Navy said in earlier news releases that the electronic
attack squadrons are assisting in air strikes performed by the US Air Forcersquos FA-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft and that approximately 74 percent of the attacks are by the Air Force
ldquoThe sailors who man our ships and squadrons should be extremely proud of what we as a team accomplished while deployed to the 5th Fleetrdquo said Rear Adm DeWolfe Miller in a statement released by the Navy
ldquoCarl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their pres-ence like ours will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorismrdquo
In addition to the Growler squadron the Carl Vinson strike group comprises seven squadrons of various attack and support aircraft totaling 6200 sailors
The carrier is also accompanied by four destroyersUpon its return to Whidbey VAQ 134 will begin its tran-
sition to the Growler which will complete the Navy-wide transition by the 2015 target date
Prowlers will still be flown by the Marine Corps squad-rons

appointed to the position during the meeting at which commissioner Dave Walton resigned It was later determined the board didnrsquot fol-low the proper legal process in making the appointment and it was later rescinded
The candidates were briefly interviewed before the board voted
Wendy Shingleton appointed to fill for-mer commissioner Kirk Hufferrsquos seat on the board asked the candidates applied for the position
ldquoThe pool isnrsquot quite meeting my needsrdquo Holly replied ldquoI donrsquot think itrsquos meeting some of the peoplersquos needs hellip I have a lot of talent and energy and skill to bring to this position
and I think hellip I would be good for itrdquoWhile in the Navy Holly said she gained
leadership experience and worked with bud-gets facilities maintenance and ldquobuilding new buildingsrdquo
Robinson cited her experience and his-tory with the district and her background in accounting and auditing
Commissioner Steve Hoffmire asked what each candidate could bring to help erase a negative image of the district some in the community might have
Holly said that her lack of history with the district was an asset
ldquoI think I bring a fresh perspective and fresh energyrdquo Holly said ldquoIrsquom not burdened by the past I donrsquot know any of you peoplerdquo
Robinson said that her relationship with the pool was vital and if appointed she could draw back some people who left the pool
Before the vote Hoffmire said that he would abstain because of how the district mishandled Robinsonrsquos appointment
ldquoWe made a mistake and we owned itrdquo Hoffmire said
ldquoBut I believe the process is somewhat taintedrdquo
Hoffmire said a part of him wanted to let the 90-day deadline expire so the Island County commissioners would fill the position
ldquoI think some things were said that tend to make people believe the process is biased and I am very concerned with thatrdquo Hoffmire said ldquoAnd Irsquom very concerned with the image we have here The way that wersquove done busi-ness has caused people to raise an eyebrow over these past couple of years
ldquoI want to be completely fairrdquoParks board members Sean Merrill and
Shingleton voted to appoint Holly to the vacant
seat Chairman Allan McDougall affirmed the vote
ldquoItrsquos an honorrdquo Holly said ldquoI know there are issues I read the paper Irsquove seen there are issues with the pool and there are going to be issues with the budget and I think we need to do somethingrdquo
Holly said her goals as a commissioner include scheduling more lap time something she takes advantage of as a swimmer when she can and one day getting a bigger pool and making the pool self-funded
ldquoI just think we need to find a way to get it self-supportingrdquo Holly said
ldquoFundraising or I donrsquot know Irsquom new to this Irsquove had a lot of questions building up in my head so hopefully Irsquoll be able to answer thoserdquo

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

where knowledge makesthe difference
Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

If money makes a dif-ference in races for politi-cal office then it appears Island County District 3 Commissioner candidate Karla Jacks will have a hefty advantage over challenger Rick Hannold on Nov 4
According to the state Public Disclosure Commission the agency that monitors campaign con-tributions and expenditures Jacks a Camano Island Democrat has amassed a war chest of nearly $39000
Hannold a North Whidbey Republican raised about $2500
Jacks said Thursday the amount she raised was no accident but the result of steps she took months ago as a political newcomer
ldquoI actually went to some classes learning how much to budget and what things
would costrdquo Jacks saidThe vast difference in
contributions is a concern Hannold said but added that probably wonrsquot be the decid-ing factor in the race
His campaign was ldquograss-rootsrdquo from the beginning he said and there are better ways to get the message out than with signs or commer-cials
ldquoIve been putting a lot of miles on my shoesrdquo Hannold said
ldquoBesides I think face-to-face is the best thingrdquo
Hannold is recording under the mini reporting option meaning he doesnt have to report individual con-tributors or expenditures as long as the total stays under $5000
He neared the benchmark around the August primary election and asked a change to the full-reporting option but missed deadlines for the
switchHes had to make do with
about a dozen large signs and about 225 small ones
As of this week Hannold had spent about $3200 said PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson
Jacks has spent nearly $26600 according to the PDC much of it on profes-sional campaign assistance A sum total of $4000 went to Sound Strategies a Marysville-based consultant and $10500 to her campaign manager Nathan Haugen grandson of the former state senator Mary Margaret Haugen
The total spent is likely more as the statersquos website hasnrsquot caught up with an approximately $8000 expen-diture for mailers this week Jacks said She noted that shersquos still raising money and anticipates her total expendi-tures and contributions will
be about even though she also hopes to have some left over in the event she runs for a second term
A mailer for Hannold arrived in mailboxes late this week but he confirmed Friday that it was not sent or paid for by the Hannold campaign
Jacksrsquo largest individual financial supporters were the Island County Democratic Central Committee con-tributing a total of $3950 in two separate payments and $3700 from Windermere Real Estate brokers Randy and Marla Heagle on Camano Island
Other big contributors all of whom gave $1000 in sepa-rate $500 payments include Jones Floyd of Seattle Diane Kendy of Langley Robin and Stanley Nelson of Shoreline and Craig and Rose Olson of Camano Island
Appointed District 3
Republican Commissioner Aubrey Vaughan before being defeated in the prima-ry raised $7900 and spent about $12000 according to the commissionrsquos website
Vaughan disputed the number in a telephone inter-view Monday saying hersquos certain the total is less
Also Vaughan did not record his contributions and expenditures electronically with the commission doing so only with written docu-ments mailed to the agency
Anderson said Vaughan is required by law to file elec-tronically
Vaughan disputed the claim maintaining he was in compliance with state rules
ldquoId be real careful with that business right there young manrdquo Vaughan said when asked about the PDC violation
Vaughan later apolo-gized and acknowledged he received a letter from the state commission urging him to file electronically
He said he worked hard to follow the rules while cam-paigning which can be exten-
sive and complicated but he didnrsquot adhere to the electron-ic filing requirements solely for lack of computer skills
In other county races incumbent Republican Auditor Sheilah Crider raised $3700 and spent $2200 while Independent challeng-er Rebecca Wagnerrsquos totals are unknown as she is using the mini reporting option
Vying for the county treasurerrsquos seat incumbent Democrat Ana Maria Nuntildeez raised $7100 and spent $3800
Her largest contributors were the Island County Democrats $1500 in two payments and Leigh Power of Coupeville $400 All other contributions were under $200
Challenger Wanda Grone a Republican is ahead slight-ly with $7600 taken in and about $7100 spent Her larg-est supporter was the Island Republican Party with $700 and $300 checks from John Merrill Oak Harbor and Daryl Tyras of Houston Texas All other contribu-tions were under $200

Candy Slowik would be happy to see a library in nearly every neigh-borhood
In fact she recently opened a free library in front of her home on Southwest Erie Street where the policy is ldquotake a book leave a bookrdquo
Little Free Libraries is a move-ment that started in 2009 by Todd Bol and Rick Brooks of Wisconsin with a mission to promote literacy and a love of reading
Slowik said she learned about the concept when she visited Seattle with her grandchildren who took pleasure in showing her the various free libraries in their area
ldquoI just thought it was a really real-ly neat concept in Seattlerdquo she said
Shersquos hoping the idea will take off in Oak Harbor
As of right now Slowik said hers is only one of two pocket libraries in Oak Harbor the other being in the Whidbey Country Club parking lot
ldquoI just thought if people would get out and think about making these things that it would be fun for the neighborhoodrdquo she said
Bob and Rhonda Severns are also working towards opening a pocket library in Oak Harbor inspired by the statue in Windjammer Park ded-icated to three teachers as well as other pocket libraries Bob Severns saw in North Seattle
ldquoI think the opportunity to read and learn from that is one of the best things we can do no matter what age grouprdquo Bob Severns said
Hersquos planning on working with an Eagle Scout to design and build the library which when completed will be placed near the teachersrsquo statue in Windjammer Park
Hersquos hoping to get it done within a couple of months As of January 2014 the Little Free Library website estimated about 15000 free libraries worldwide including countries like Uganda Pakistan Lithuana and so many more
She opened hers about two weeks ago in front of her Candy Land Day Care located at 746 SE Erie Street It has since attracted the attention of passersby as well as the attention of the children who attend her day care
ldquoI have a lot of my day care kids hellip come up on their way home and
grab a bookrdquo Slowik said ldquoand then bring one from their houserdquo
Currently Slowikrsquos pocket library stocks books ranging in age groups form children to adult and she said
that people are welcome to stop by to find a book and to even sit on the nearby bricks to read
ldquoI think reading is importantrdquo Slowik said ldquoTherersquos nothing better than readingrdquo
Pocket libraries pop up in OH

Local magician JR Russell is hoping to magically repair the Whidbey Playhouse this weekend
Russell who is a retired Navy captain will be star-ring in a magic show to raise funds for the theater
The magic show is Saturday Oct 25 with show-ings at 1 pm and 4 pm
The matinee show is geared toward kids and costs $4 for kids and $6 for adults while the night show has more for the adults and tickets are $5 for kids and $10 for adults
Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the playhousersquos Raise the Roof project
The project which began in 2012 is aimed at upgrad-ing the 48-year-old nonprofit theater which produces five shows per season and hosts a
variety of other productions Russell who has been a
magician on Whidbey Island since 2011 got the idea to put on the show when he was sit-ting and talking with Hector Powell playhouse office man-ager Janis Powellrsquos husband and the facilities manager at the playhouse
Russell mentioned that the playhouse still needed some renovations considering that it was originally a church and
the original framework isnrsquot perfect for a theater So he and Hector Powell decided it was time for another magic show that would benefit Raise the Roof He put on the first magic show to benefit the program in 2012
Right now Janis Powell said the playhouse is look-ing to expand its fly space or above-stage space which would give the crew more options for set design and
other effects during theater productions
Russell invited three of his magician friends Mark Paulson Jim Earnshaw and Brian Cook Cook and Russell have both performed
in Las Vegas Together the four magicians will use all kinds of magic and illusions during the shows
ldquoThey do it for the love of doing magicrdquo Janis Powell said ldquoAnd helping us outrdquo

In the face of diminish-ing funding for state parks local parks staffs are get-ting creative to keep parks running smoothly
Representatives from Washington State Parks presented the agencyrsquos current condition to local leaders this week in efforts to both inform and seek partnerships that may help them do more with less
ldquoThe only way we can make this happen is if we all work togetherrdquo said Deception Pass Manager Jack Hartt to mem-bers of the Council of Governments
ldquoAlone I canrsquot do that on my own with my staff we canrsquot do it on our own But together if we work together as governments if we work together as neigh-bors and community hellip our state parks can work for all of usrdquo
The Island County Council of Governments includes Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy Island County Commissioner Helen Price
Johnson and Port of South Whidbey representative Curt Gordon
Combined Whidbey Islandrsquos nine state parks bring 47 million visitors each year with 27 going to Deception Pass alone
Daniel Farber policy and governmental affairs direc-tor for state parks said that the last few years have been tumultuous for state parks as funding has been slashed and the Discover Pass initiated
ldquoWersquore in such tumult right now wersquove laid off one- third of our full-time employeesrdquo Farber said
The state funded the parks with $94 million in the general fund as recently as 2009 but has cut that down steadily each year In 2013 the state gave only $85 million to parks
Farber said that while income from the Discover Pass has helped offset the statersquos shrinking contribu-tion state parks are still struggling to provide mini-mal services
On Whidbey the reality of cuts has meant reduced camping seasons at South Whidbey and Fort Ebey summer interpretive pro-
grams have been on hold office hours have been reduced and some rest-rooms are closed in the winter according to Central Whidbey Area Manager John Crimmins
Crimmins added that short staffing has lead to poor morale and motiva-tion therersquos not enough staff to open and close gates and problems at a specific park leaves other parks unattended
ldquoThe statersquos shrinking budget led to a need to reduce staff and find new ways to manage our parksrdquo Crimmins said
This has lead to creating a large management area for all Whidbey Island state parks with the exception of Deception Pass which has its own management team
Farber said when the Discover Pass was initiat-ed in 2011 the legislature directed state parks to work toward 100 percent self suf-ficiency a goal that he said is unrealistic
ldquoWe canrsquot get there we donrsquot want to get there we donrsquot think the public wants us to get thererdquo Farber said
ldquoWe think with a public
park system you need pub-lic stakeholdersrdquo
In that light state parks has attempted to form part-nerships with other organi-zations schools and volun-teer groups to stretch their resources
ldquoItrsquos not all doom and gloomrdquo Crimmins said ldquoWe found some solutionsrdquo
Among those include cre-ating a central office for
all permanent staff at Fort Casey an office assistant assumes many of the admin-istrative tasks supplies and products are standardized park rangers are schedules are prioritized by need and the volunteer program has been vastly expanded assist with park clean-ups and customer service
ldquoWersquove had all sorts of local volunteer helprdquo
Crimmins saidMoving forward state
parks is hoping to continue to find ways to generate rev-enue as well as rely on local partnerships Crimmins said
Just a few of these include island Lionrsquos Clubs local Boy Scout Troops the Island County Beachwatchers and schools

OPINION
LETTERS TO THE EDITORElection
See through latest lsquoOctober SurprisersquoEditor
I have always supported our mili-tary forces My mother served in the Marine Corps And after my father emigrated from Poland he worked on the design of the B-52 bomber while employed by Boeing
My father-in-law served in the Army during the Korean War and on the ICBM and McDonnell Douglas Harrier programs afterward My mother-in-law runs the VFW in her hometown Many of my high school classmates served in Vietnam I sup-ported their choices and welcomed home the ones who survived
I never protested against the war and I always thank troops and veter-ans for their service to our country
I have not changed my alliances mdash I support the US Navy and its operations in Island County
As an ldquoOctober surpriserdquo informa-tion was planted related to my signa-ture on an OLF petition requesting that the issue of continuing opera-
tions at OLF be submitted to the affected voters in an election
My concern with flights over Ebeyrsquos Reserve is directed at the release of jet fuel over farmlands where food crops are raised and areas of dense population
I have never attended a COER meeting nor have I given this group any financial support I ldquounsub-scribedrdquo from their communications when their tactics became extreme
My opponent has posted this on her website
ldquoI strongly support the military and NAS Whidbey unlike my oppo-nent who wants to close the baserdquo
I do not support closure of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station nor any other base in the state of Washington
The economic impacts to Whidbey Island would be enormous
I find it interesting that Ms Ana Maria Nuntildeez says she strongly sup-ports the local military yet is accept-ing campaign contributions from COER the group sponsoring the petition that she is chastising me for signing
Campaign contributions are gath-ered after personally meeting with supporters the supporters want their candidate elected because
their beliefs and standards align with those of the other
Ms Nuntildeezrsquos acceptance of these funds brings her claimed support of the military into question
My opponentrsquos campaign manager posted this on the NASWI I Support OLF Facebook page ldquoYes I am Eileen King and resident of OH I am also Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos campaign manager Yes Ana Maria like most candidates has accepted donations from people who are members or signed the petition for COER She is a candidate and doesnrsquot turn down free moneyrdquo
I hope you can see through this latest ldquoOctober surpriserdquo and follow the money to determine who is tell-ing you the truth here Look to the one who is accepting COERrsquos money
This is an election race for the Island County treasurer whose duties are to care for the taxpayersrsquo money
Why is it that the current treasurer wants to talk about anything except her performance in office where it is so obvious that she has failed to do just that mdash care for the taxpayersrsquo money

By Helen Price JohnsonHindsight is 2020 and looking back
I see a small transit agency that grew from the grass roots and built up on a shoestring to a vital public service Run by only one person habits were entrenched
Money was saved in hopes of building a facility to meet growing needs Once grant funds came the local match took all the savings Unfortunately the big construction project took the directorrsquos
focus away from monitoring daily finances Expenses exceeded revenues creating a shortfall Services had to be cut If the proper internal financial con-
trols had been in place less dramatic adjustments could have been made over time Cuts shouldrsquove been made sooner We know that now
Steps were taken to strengthen Island Transitrsquos checks and balances The board has increased its oversight of finances Two board members now meet regularly with staff to review bank statements expenses and revenues
A new professional sits in the Transit finance office and is updating the internal controls of the agency Monthly reports are improved so the board can better monitor the cash position The State Auditors just finished their review of the Island Transit books for 2013 and confirmed that the previous financial officer did not follow standard practices in a number of areas
Most significant were the cash shortfall and the control of the federal grant funds for the new building This yearrsquos reductions in service did ldquoright the shiprdquo and Transit is oper-ating in the black again modestly rebuilding a reserve
The auditors deemed $100 thousand of the $10 million grant as questionable No one stole any money but payroll records and equipment inventory were not adequate That has been fixed The audit confirmed the board of directors need to improve its oversight of the director This is an opportunity to start new practices
Most important to moving ahead is hiring a qualified interim executive director so the transit agency is stabilized for the future and the impacts of the cuts can be addressed Tentative plans are to hire someone by Thanksgiving
An interim position makes sense to provide transitional leadership for the organization and provide ample time for the process of selecting a long-term director
The community needs to say what they want for the sys-tem to provide in the future How can service be expanded Should it stay fare-free Routes need to be adjusted to better meet the needs of our citizens
The audit results show that the agency grew over time yet the internal financial controls and Board policies did not keep up Significant progress has been made and I will work hard to continue improving Island Transit for the future

Response to errors defines candidateEditor
My response to the endorsement of my opponent They use the mis-steps that have occurred this year as the reason they are endorsing my opponent
Election year errors The worst timing
My father says ldquoIt is not the error that defines you but your response to itrdquo My response ldquoCorrect and put plans in place to avoid these situations from reoccurringrdquo
My accomplishments barely men-tioned Partial Payment program alli-ance with the Opportunity Council decreasing banking costs by 70 per-cent elimination of supplement back-log etc
Almost all of the accomplishments for which my opponent takes credit were initiated before she was hired she was the liaison representing my office She speaks of ensuring reports are delivered in a timely manner but failed three years running to com-plete the one report for which she was responsible in the financial state-ments Her vision for the future is a copy of what I have already stated
No original thoughtsShe signed a petition to close OLF
Coupeville She openly stated that she would be personally financially better off if NAS Whidbey were to close Yet she slaps a ldquoSupport Our Troopsrdquo sticker on her car to garner the military vote
As a military spouse and mama I appreciate the sacrifice and ded-ication of our service members I understand that freedom also means sacrifice whether moving every few years or hearing the sound of free-dom overhead
I have given my heart and soul as treasurer to better serve you I hum-bly ask for your faith and vote again

Oak Harbor
Clark County treasurer confident in NuntildeezEditor
I appreciate Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos lead-ership in coordinating this last year the PACrsquos User Group which devel-ops the software programming pri-orities of the county treasurerrsquos True Automation property tax collection system for 13 counties in the state of Washington
Even during difficult personal and family health issues over the last 12 months Ana Maria continued to participate in the discussions and decisions of the Washington State Association of County Treasurers including state legislation and partici-pating on WSACT committees
She is a strong advocate for excel-lence in treasury management and an asset to the citizens of Island County
As a result of sharing ideas my office has implemented some of the processes developed by Ana Mariarsquos office to improve our operational activities
The voters of Island County would do well to reelect County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeez and help continue her efforts to implement programs and processes to improve customer service financial management and tax collection in the treasurerrsquos office

CPA background make Wagner best choiceEditor
Rebecca Wagnerrsquos years of experi-ence as a CPA as well as her former employment with both Island and Skagit counties will make her a valu-able asset to the Island County audi-torrsquos office
Her extensive knowledge and working relationships that she has gained over the years will provide this department with a ldquoworking auditorrdquo an auditor who can competently run her department and maintain com-munication with other departments as needed

I-594
Flawed measure needs off ballotEditor
I just received a flyer in the mail with Rory Graves supporting Initiative 594 I have to admit that it finally sent me over the edge
The television commercials with her do meet their intended purpose of pulling at my emotions through heart-tugging testimony But I have to inform you that it gets my attention for reasons other than what Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility would like
You see the entire campaign makes me realize how fortunate we are to live in a society where women can get self-defense and firearms training Roryrsquos mother chose to stay in an abusive relationship without seeking any of that training It very well could have prevented the situa-tion of her shooting
Nowhere does the printed flyer or television spot state that the husband mentioned was prohibited from own-ing a firearm
I find it inexcusable that the Alliance would exploit women in this fashion The training opportunities for women to safely carry and use if necessary a firearm are endless
However the passing of I-594 will take away the possibility of receiving that training Through insane restric-tions regarding firearms transfers I will no longer be able to share my experience or firearms with another woman interested in shooting for sport or self defense
My gun club will no longer pres-ent eight classes a year in youth and womenrsquos firearm safety The way the initiative is written is totally out of step with the Second Amendment or state constitution
I am truly curious whether anyone on the Alliance staff has read I-594
in its entirety and understands the implication that the passing of this bill would have Give us a break out here
Someone fess up and admit that this legislation needs to be pulled from the ballot

McDowell
Where is the evidence to support OLF claimEditor
In his Oct 18 letter to the Whidbey News-Times Mac McDowell wrote ldquoThe Navy has long said OLF Coupeville is essential to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station remaining openrdquo
When and where has the Navy ever said that Mr McDowell didnrsquot offer one direct quote from the Navy to support this statement
If the Navy had ever said that it would have been part of every dis-cussion about OLF in meetings and newspaper accounts and letters to the editor for the last several years
It would have been plastered on billboards all over the island
It would have stopped dead in its tracks any claim by those who want OLF closed that they donrsquot also want the air station closed
Where has that statement been hidden all of these years If Mr McDowell has access to it he should produce it If not in the interest of his own credibility he should admit that he misspoke
Ann AdamsOak Harbor
Speak up now in support of baseEditor
When the last EA-6B retires Whidbey Island Naval Air Stationrsquos EA-18G Growlers will be the only US airborne electronic jammers and therefore responsible to protect and defend all US military and alliesrsquo forces worldwide
The Chief of Naval Operations wants to add up to 36 additional EA-18G Growlers including two shore-based (non-carrier) squadrons along with the support jobs and per-sonnel to Whidbey
There are meetings 4-8 pm Oct 28 29 and 30 in Coupeville Oak Harbor and Anacortes to accept com-ments in the EIS process
In 1989-90 a Coupeville anti-Navy group was instrumental through com-plaint efforts to get NAS Whidbey on the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure list
A similar anti-Navy Coupeville group is again trying to shut down NAS Whidbey by forcing the Growlers to cease flying on Whidbey
In 1990 the local community did not respond prior to BRAC On either Oct 28 29 or 30 you have the oppor-tunity to respond proactively support-ing NAS Whidbeyrsquos expansion and telling the Navy the Coupeville anti-Navy group represents a very vocal but extreme minority of residents
Seventy-plus years of Navy
operations at NAS WhidbeyOLF Coupeville should be grandfathered to allow the Navy to return to the same number of Navy personnel and jobs as was here when the A-6 was operational
The expansion is needed nation-ally Hopefully this time different from 1991 we can proactively support the Navy defeat the anti-Navy efforts and keep NAS Whidbey off the 2017 BRAC closure list
If you canrsquot attend you can com-ment supporting the Navy on wwwwhidbeyeiscom
If you donrsquot have internet access call Mac McDowell at 360-929-8207 for a comment form
This time the community needs to work to protect NAS Whidbey and to protect our local economy The Washington governorrsquos economic report indicates NAS Whidbey is the source of 88 percent of all economic activity in Island County

WEANThanks for celebrating 25 years of protectionEditor
Whidbey Environmental Action Network wants to thank all who par-ticipated and contributed to a very successful fun for all ldquoWEANFest Celebrating 25 years of Protecting Our Native Biodiversityrdquo
We especially want to thank the folks who attended the annual meet-ing and potluck donated to the silent auction bought donated items as well as Greenbank Farmrsquos fantastic new rental facility manager Madisun Clark
We also want to thank the great performers who raised the roof and blew the doors off the barn with their glorious music Whidbeyrsquos own Cranberry Bog Blue Grass Band Bellinghamrsquos soulful mischievous baritone Dana Lyons Orcas Islandrsquos banjo playing folksy singer Tom Rawson and his Baez-channeling part-ner Katherine Ellice from Vancouver British Columbia
I know many are wondering who won the Busted Bulldozer and Home Island Hero awards The Dozer went to Oak Harbor mayor Scott Dudley and the Oak Harbor City Council for callously cutting down an Oak Harbor icon the Post Office oak tree
The second award went to ex-Island County Commissioner Angie Homola for her efforts while in office Though competition was stiff in both cases the decibel meter went off the scale in favor of the winners
One reason WEANfest was held at the farm was because WEAN was instrumental in its evolution When Chateau Ste Michele Winery decid-ed to sell the farm in 1995 WEAN organized the first meeting Eighty people crammed the Greenbank Progressive Hall to strategize a plan
The rest is history and typical of what we do It is truly a jewel in the navel of Whidbey Island and a resource for residents and the region
With your continued support we look forward to 25 more years of championing sustainable strategies for a viable verdant and healthy future

The Grizzlies (4-4-1 5-7-1) scored two of their goals off cor-ner kicks which was a trouble-some area for the Wildcats Lon-borg said
ldquoWe had a serious lack of com-municationrdquo Lonborg said
Natalie Gabbert tied the match at 1-1 with a penalty kick early in the second half then Glacier Peak put the match away with two goals in 90 seconds midway through the second period
Against Shorewood (7-2-2 8-5-2) Lonborg suited up only 13 play-ers because of injuries
Though shorthanded the Wild-cats ldquoplayed hard but it wasnrsquot enoughrdquo Lonborg said
ldquoShorewood had great posses-sion and controlled the flow the majority of the gamerdquo he added
The loss eliminated Oak Harbor from playoff contention

group deployed since Feb 15 according to the NavyNAS Whidbey-based VAQ 134 has been a part of the
departing strike group and the squadrons involvement will be the Navyrsquos final job for the Prowler
ldquoThis is the final Navy EA-6B Prowler deployment and that despite its age compared to the modern EA-18G Growler the old Prowler thanks to its dedicated maintain-ers and air crew is proving itself right up to the endrdquo said Lt Joseph Hontz US 5th Fleet spokesman
The carrierrsquos air wing amassed 32611 flight hours 12548 total sorties and 9752 traps supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS and terrorists in Iraq and Syria according to the Navy
The Navy said in earlier news releases that the electronic
attack squadrons are assisting in air strikes performed by the US Air Forcersquos FA-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft and that approximately 74 percent of the attacks are by the Air Force
ldquoThe sailors who man our ships and squadrons should be extremely proud of what we as a team accomplished while deployed to the 5th Fleetrdquo said Rear Adm DeWolfe Miller in a statement released by the Navy
ldquoCarl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their pres-ence like ours will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorismrdquo
In addition to the Growler squadron the Carl Vinson strike group comprises seven squadrons of various attack and support aircraft totaling 6200 sailors
The carrier is also accompanied by four destroyersUpon its return to Whidbey VAQ 134 will begin its tran-
sition to the Growler which will complete the Navy-wide transition by the 2015 target date
Prowlers will still be flown by the Marine Corps squad-rons

appointed to the position during the meeting at which commissioner Dave Walton resigned It was later determined the board didnrsquot fol-low the proper legal process in making the appointment and it was later rescinded
The candidates were briefly interviewed before the board voted
Wendy Shingleton appointed to fill for-mer commissioner Kirk Hufferrsquos seat on the board asked the candidates applied for the position
ldquoThe pool isnrsquot quite meeting my needsrdquo Holly replied ldquoI donrsquot think itrsquos meeting some of the peoplersquos needs hellip I have a lot of talent and energy and skill to bring to this position
and I think hellip I would be good for itrdquoWhile in the Navy Holly said she gained
leadership experience and worked with bud-gets facilities maintenance and ldquobuilding new buildingsrdquo
Robinson cited her experience and his-tory with the district and her background in accounting and auditing
Commissioner Steve Hoffmire asked what each candidate could bring to help erase a negative image of the district some in the community might have
Holly said that her lack of history with the district was an asset
ldquoI think I bring a fresh perspective and fresh energyrdquo Holly said ldquoIrsquom not burdened by the past I donrsquot know any of you peoplerdquo
Robinson said that her relationship with the pool was vital and if appointed she could draw back some people who left the pool
Before the vote Hoffmire said that he would abstain because of how the district mishandled Robinsonrsquos appointment
ldquoWe made a mistake and we owned itrdquo Hoffmire said
ldquoBut I believe the process is somewhat taintedrdquo
Hoffmire said a part of him wanted to let the 90-day deadline expire so the Island County commissioners would fill the position
ldquoI think some things were said that tend to make people believe the process is biased and I am very concerned with thatrdquo Hoffmire said ldquoAnd Irsquom very concerned with the image we have here The way that wersquove done busi-ness has caused people to raise an eyebrow over these past couple of years
ldquoI want to be completely fairrdquoParks board members Sean Merrill and
Shingleton voted to appoint Holly to the vacant
seat Chairman Allan McDougall affirmed the vote
ldquoItrsquos an honorrdquo Holly said ldquoI know there are issues I read the paper Irsquove seen there are issues with the pool and there are going to be issues with the budget and I think we need to do somethingrdquo
Holly said her goals as a commissioner include scheduling more lap time something she takes advantage of as a swimmer when she can and one day getting a bigger pool and making the pool self-funded
ldquoI just think we need to find a way to get it self-supportingrdquo Holly said
ldquoFundraising or I donrsquot know Irsquom new to this Irsquove had a lot of questions building up in my head so hopefully Irsquoll be able to answer thoserdquo

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

where knowledge makesthe difference
Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

Local magician JR Russell is hoping to magically repair the Whidbey Playhouse this weekend
Russell who is a retired Navy captain will be star-ring in a magic show to raise funds for the theater
The magic show is Saturday Oct 25 with show-ings at 1 pm and 4 pm
The matinee show is geared toward kids and costs $4 for kids and $6 for adults while the night show has more for the adults and tickets are $5 for kids and $10 for adults
Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the playhousersquos Raise the Roof project
The project which began in 2012 is aimed at upgrad-ing the 48-year-old nonprofit theater which produces five shows per season and hosts a
variety of other productions Russell who has been a
magician on Whidbey Island since 2011 got the idea to put on the show when he was sit-ting and talking with Hector Powell playhouse office man-ager Janis Powellrsquos husband and the facilities manager at the playhouse
Russell mentioned that the playhouse still needed some renovations considering that it was originally a church and
the original framework isnrsquot perfect for a theater So he and Hector Powell decided it was time for another magic show that would benefit Raise the Roof He put on the first magic show to benefit the program in 2012
Right now Janis Powell said the playhouse is look-ing to expand its fly space or above-stage space which would give the crew more options for set design and
other effects during theater productions
Russell invited three of his magician friends Mark Paulson Jim Earnshaw and Brian Cook Cook and Russell have both performed
in Las Vegas Together the four magicians will use all kinds of magic and illusions during the shows
ldquoThey do it for the love of doing magicrdquo Janis Powell said ldquoAnd helping us outrdquo

In the face of diminish-ing funding for state parks local parks staffs are get-ting creative to keep parks running smoothly
Representatives from Washington State Parks presented the agencyrsquos current condition to local leaders this week in efforts to both inform and seek partnerships that may help them do more with less
ldquoThe only way we can make this happen is if we all work togetherrdquo said Deception Pass Manager Jack Hartt to mem-bers of the Council of Governments
ldquoAlone I canrsquot do that on my own with my staff we canrsquot do it on our own But together if we work together as governments if we work together as neigh-bors and community hellip our state parks can work for all of usrdquo
The Island County Council of Governments includes Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley Coupeville Mayor Nancy Conard Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy Island County Commissioner Helen Price
Johnson and Port of South Whidbey representative Curt Gordon
Combined Whidbey Islandrsquos nine state parks bring 47 million visitors each year with 27 going to Deception Pass alone
Daniel Farber policy and governmental affairs direc-tor for state parks said that the last few years have been tumultuous for state parks as funding has been slashed and the Discover Pass initiated
ldquoWersquore in such tumult right now wersquove laid off one- third of our full-time employeesrdquo Farber said
The state funded the parks with $94 million in the general fund as recently as 2009 but has cut that down steadily each year In 2013 the state gave only $85 million to parks
Farber said that while income from the Discover Pass has helped offset the statersquos shrinking contribu-tion state parks are still struggling to provide mini-mal services
On Whidbey the reality of cuts has meant reduced camping seasons at South Whidbey and Fort Ebey summer interpretive pro-
grams have been on hold office hours have been reduced and some rest-rooms are closed in the winter according to Central Whidbey Area Manager John Crimmins
Crimmins added that short staffing has lead to poor morale and motiva-tion therersquos not enough staff to open and close gates and problems at a specific park leaves other parks unattended
ldquoThe statersquos shrinking budget led to a need to reduce staff and find new ways to manage our parksrdquo Crimmins said
This has lead to creating a large management area for all Whidbey Island state parks with the exception of Deception Pass which has its own management team
Farber said when the Discover Pass was initiat-ed in 2011 the legislature directed state parks to work toward 100 percent self suf-ficiency a goal that he said is unrealistic
ldquoWe canrsquot get there we donrsquot want to get there we donrsquot think the public wants us to get thererdquo Farber said
ldquoWe think with a public
park system you need pub-lic stakeholdersrdquo
In that light state parks has attempted to form part-nerships with other organi-zations schools and volun-teer groups to stretch their resources
ldquoItrsquos not all doom and gloomrdquo Crimmins said ldquoWe found some solutionsrdquo
Among those include cre-ating a central office for
all permanent staff at Fort Casey an office assistant assumes many of the admin-istrative tasks supplies and products are standardized park rangers are schedules are prioritized by need and the volunteer program has been vastly expanded assist with park clean-ups and customer service
ldquoWersquove had all sorts of local volunteer helprdquo
Crimmins saidMoving forward state
parks is hoping to continue to find ways to generate rev-enue as well as rely on local partnerships Crimmins said
Just a few of these include island Lionrsquos Clubs local Boy Scout Troops the Island County Beachwatchers and schools
Struggling state parks find creative solutions

OPINION
LETTERS TO THE EDITORElection
See through latest lsquoOctober SurprisersquoEditor
I have always supported our mili-tary forces My mother served in the Marine Corps And after my father emigrated from Poland he worked on the design of the B-52 bomber while employed by Boeing
My father-in-law served in the Army during the Korean War and on the ICBM and McDonnell Douglas Harrier programs afterward My mother-in-law runs the VFW in her hometown Many of my high school classmates served in Vietnam I sup-ported their choices and welcomed home the ones who survived
I never protested against the war and I always thank troops and veter-ans for their service to our country
I have not changed my alliances mdash I support the US Navy and its operations in Island County
As an ldquoOctober surpriserdquo informa-tion was planted related to my signa-ture on an OLF petition requesting that the issue of continuing opera-
tions at OLF be submitted to the affected voters in an election
My concern with flights over Ebeyrsquos Reserve is directed at the release of jet fuel over farmlands where food crops are raised and areas of dense population
I have never attended a COER meeting nor have I given this group any financial support I ldquounsub-scribedrdquo from their communications when their tactics became extreme
My opponent has posted this on her website
ldquoI strongly support the military and NAS Whidbey unlike my oppo-nent who wants to close the baserdquo
I do not support closure of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station nor any other base in the state of Washington
The economic impacts to Whidbey Island would be enormous
I find it interesting that Ms Ana Maria Nuntildeez says she strongly sup-ports the local military yet is accept-ing campaign contributions from COER the group sponsoring the petition that she is chastising me for signing
Campaign contributions are gath-ered after personally meeting with supporters the supporters want their candidate elected because
their beliefs and standards align with those of the other
Ms Nuntildeezrsquos acceptance of these funds brings her claimed support of the military into question
My opponentrsquos campaign manager posted this on the NASWI I Support OLF Facebook page ldquoYes I am Eileen King and resident of OH I am also Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos campaign manager Yes Ana Maria like most candidates has accepted donations from people who are members or signed the petition for COER She is a candidate and doesnrsquot turn down free moneyrdquo
I hope you can see through this latest ldquoOctober surpriserdquo and follow the money to determine who is tell-ing you the truth here Look to the one who is accepting COERrsquos money
This is an election race for the Island County treasurer whose duties are to care for the taxpayersrsquo money
Why is it that the current treasurer wants to talk about anything except her performance in office where it is so obvious that she has failed to do just that mdash care for the taxpayersrsquo money
Wanda Grone Candidate for Island County

By Helen Price JohnsonHindsight is 2020 and looking back
I see a small transit agency that grew from the grass roots and built up on a shoestring to a vital public service Run by only one person habits were entrenched
Money was saved in hopes of building a facility to meet growing needs Once grant funds came the local match took all the savings Unfortunately the big construction project took the directorrsquos
focus away from monitoring daily finances Expenses exceeded revenues creating a shortfall Services had to be cut If the proper internal financial con-
trols had been in place less dramatic adjustments could have been made over time Cuts shouldrsquove been made sooner We know that now
Steps were taken to strengthen Island Transitrsquos checks and balances The board has increased its oversight of finances Two board members now meet regularly with staff to review bank statements expenses and revenues
A new professional sits in the Transit finance office and is updating the internal controls of the agency Monthly reports are improved so the board can better monitor the cash position The State Auditors just finished their review of the Island Transit books for 2013 and confirmed that the previous financial officer did not follow standard practices in a number of areas
Most significant were the cash shortfall and the control of the federal grant funds for the new building This yearrsquos reductions in service did ldquoright the shiprdquo and Transit is oper-ating in the black again modestly rebuilding a reserve
The auditors deemed $100 thousand of the $10 million grant as questionable No one stole any money but payroll records and equipment inventory were not adequate That has been fixed The audit confirmed the board of directors need to improve its oversight of the director This is an opportunity to start new practices
Most important to moving ahead is hiring a qualified interim executive director so the transit agency is stabilized for the future and the impacts of the cuts can be addressed Tentative plans are to hire someone by Thanksgiving
An interim position makes sense to provide transitional leadership for the organization and provide ample time for the process of selecting a long-term director
The community needs to say what they want for the sys-tem to provide in the future How can service be expanded Should it stay fare-free Routes need to be adjusted to better meet the needs of our citizens
The audit results show that the agency grew over time yet the internal financial controls and Board policies did not keep up Significant progress has been made and I will work hard to continue improving Island Transit for the future

Response to errors defines candidateEditor
My response to the endorsement of my opponent They use the mis-steps that have occurred this year as the reason they are endorsing my opponent
Election year errors The worst timing
My father says ldquoIt is not the error that defines you but your response to itrdquo My response ldquoCorrect and put plans in place to avoid these situations from reoccurringrdquo
My accomplishments barely men-tioned Partial Payment program alli-ance with the Opportunity Council decreasing banking costs by 70 per-cent elimination of supplement back-log etc
Almost all of the accomplishments for which my opponent takes credit were initiated before she was hired she was the liaison representing my office She speaks of ensuring reports are delivered in a timely manner but failed three years running to com-plete the one report for which she was responsible in the financial state-ments Her vision for the future is a copy of what I have already stated
No original thoughtsShe signed a petition to close OLF
Coupeville She openly stated that she would be personally financially better off if NAS Whidbey were to close Yet she slaps a ldquoSupport Our Troopsrdquo sticker on her car to garner the military vote
As a military spouse and mama I appreciate the sacrifice and ded-ication of our service members I understand that freedom also means sacrifice whether moving every few years or hearing the sound of free-dom overhead
I have given my heart and soul as treasurer to better serve you I hum-bly ask for your faith and vote again

Clark County treasurer confident in NuntildeezEditor
I appreciate Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos lead-ership in coordinating this last year the PACrsquos User Group which devel-ops the software programming pri-orities of the county treasurerrsquos True Automation property tax collection system for 13 counties in the state of Washington
Even during difficult personal and family health issues over the last 12 months Ana Maria continued to participate in the discussions and decisions of the Washington State Association of County Treasurers including state legislation and partici-pating on WSACT committees
She is a strong advocate for excel-lence in treasury management and an asset to the citizens of Island County
As a result of sharing ideas my office has implemented some of the processes developed by Ana Mariarsquos office to improve our operational activities
The voters of Island County would do well to reelect County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeez and help continue her efforts to implement programs and processes to improve customer service financial management and tax collection in the treasurerrsquos office

I-594
Flawed measure needs off ballotEditor
I just received a flyer in the mail with Rory Graves supporting Initiative 594 I have to admit that it finally sent me over the edge
The television commercials with her do meet their intended purpose of pulling at my emotions through heart-tugging testimony But I have to inform you that it gets my attention for reasons other than what Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility would like
You see the entire campaign makes me realize how fortunate we are to live in a society where women can get self-defense and firearms training Roryrsquos mother chose to stay in an abusive relationship without seeking any of that training It very well could have prevented the situa-tion of her shooting
Nowhere does the printed flyer or television spot state that the husband mentioned was prohibited from own-ing a firearm
I find it inexcusable that the Alliance would exploit women in this fashion The training opportunities for women to safely carry and use if necessary a firearm are endless
However the passing of I-594 will take away the possibility of receiving that training Through insane restric-tions regarding firearms transfers I will no longer be able to share my experience or firearms with another woman interested in shooting for sport or self defense
My gun club will no longer pres-ent eight classes a year in youth and womenrsquos firearm safety The way the initiative is written is totally out of step with the Second Amendment or state constitution
I am truly curious whether anyone on the Alliance staff has read I-594

Someone fess up and admit that this legislation needs to be pulled from the ballot

McDowell
Where is the evidence to support OLF claimEditor
In his Oct 18 letter to the Whidbey News-Times Mac McDowell wrote ldquoThe Navy has long said OLF Coupeville is essential to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station remaining openrdquo
When and where has the Navy ever said that Mr McDowell didnrsquot offer one direct quote from the Navy to support this statement
If the Navy had ever said that it would have been part of every dis-cussion about OLF in meetings and newspaper accounts and letters to the editor for the last several years
It would have been plastered on billboards all over the island
It would have stopped dead in its tracks any claim by those who want OLF closed that they donrsquot also want the air station closed
Where has that statement been hidden all of these years If Mr McDowell has access to it he should produce it If not in the interest of his own credibility he should admit that he misspoke

Speak up now in support of baseEditor
When the last EA-6B retires Whidbey Island Naval Air Stationrsquos EA-18G Growlers will be the only US airborne electronic jammers and therefore responsible to protect and defend all US military and alliesrsquo forces worldwide
The Chief of Naval Operations wants to add up to 36 additional EA-18G Growlers including two shore-based (non-carrier) squadrons along with the support jobs and per-sonnel to Whidbey
There are meetings 4-8 pm Oct 28 29 and 30 in Coupeville Oak Harbor and Anacortes to accept com-ments in the EIS process
In 1989-90 a Coupeville anti-Navy group was instrumental through com-plaint efforts to get NAS Whidbey on the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure list
A similar anti-Navy Coupeville group is again trying to shut down NAS Whidbey by forcing the Growlers to cease flying on Whidbey
In 1990 the local community did not respond prior to BRAC On either Oct 28 29 or 30 you have the oppor-tunity to respond proactively support-ing NAS Whidbeyrsquos expansion and telling the Navy the Coupeville anti-Navy group represents a very vocal but extreme minority of residents
Seventy-plus years of Navy
operations at NAS WhidbeyOLF Coupeville should be grandfathered to allow the Navy to return to the same number of Navy personnel and jobs as was here when the A-6 was operational
The expansion is needed nation-ally Hopefully this time different from 1991 we can proactively support the Navy defeat the anti-Navy efforts and keep NAS Whidbey off the 2017 BRAC closure list
If you canrsquot attend you can com-ment supporting the Navy on wwwwhidbeyeiscom
If you donrsquot have internet access call Mac McDowell at 360-929-8207 for a comment form
This time the community needs to work to protect NAS Whidbey and to protect our local economy The Washington governorrsquos economic report indicates NAS Whidbey is the source of 88 percent of all economic activity in Island County

WEANThanks for celebrating 25 years of protectionEditor
Whidbey Environmental Action Network wants to thank all who par-ticipated and contributed to a very successful fun for all ldquoWEANFest Celebrating 25 years of Protecting Our Native Biodiversityrdquo
We especially want to thank the folks who attended the annual meet-ing and potluck donated to the silent auction bought donated items as well as Greenbank Farmrsquos fantastic new rental facility manager Madisun Clark
We also want to thank the great performers who raised the roof and blew the doors off the barn with their glorious music Whidbeyrsquos own Cranberry Bog Blue Grass Band Bellinghamrsquos soulful mischievous baritone Dana Lyons Orcas Islandrsquos banjo playing folksy singer Tom Rawson and his Baez-channeling part-ner Katherine Ellice from Vancouver British Columbia
I know many are wondering who won the Busted Bulldozer and Home Island Hero awards The Dozer went to Oak Harbor mayor Scott Dudley and the Oak Harbor City Council for callously cutting down an Oak Harbor icon the Post Office oak tree
The second award went to ex-Island County Commissioner Angie Homola for her efforts while in office Though competition was stiff in both cases the decibel meter went off the scale in favor of the winners
One reason WEANfest was held at the farm was because WEAN was instrumental in its evolution When Chateau Ste Michele Winery decid-ed to sell the farm in 1995 WEAN organized the first meeting Eighty people crammed the Greenbank Progressive Hall to strategize a plan
The rest is history and typical of what we do It is truly a jewel in the navel of Whidbey Island and a resource for residents and the region
With your continued support we look forward to 25 more years of championing sustainable strategies for a viable verdant and healthy future

departing strike group and the squadrons involvement will be the Navyrsquos final job for the Prowler
ldquoThis is the final Navy EA-6B Prowler deployment and that despite its age compared to the modern EA-18G Growler the old Prowler thanks to its dedicated maintain-ers and air crew is proving itself right up to the endrdquo said Lt Joseph Hontz US 5th Fleet spokesman
The carrierrsquos air wing amassed 32611 flight hours 12548 total sorties and 9752 traps supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS and terrorists in Iraq and Syria according to the Navy

attack squadrons are assisting in air strikes performed by the US Air Forcersquos FA-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft and that approximately 74 percent of the attacks are by the Air Force
ldquoThe sailors who man our ships and squadrons should be extremely proud of what we as a team accomplished while deployed to the 5th Fleetrdquo said Rear Adm DeWolfe Miller in a statement released by the Navy
ldquoCarl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their pres-ence like ours will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorismrdquo
In addition to the Growler squadron the Carl Vinson strike group comprises seven squadrons of various attack and support aircraft totaling 6200 sailors
The carrier is also accompanied by four destroyersUpon its return to Whidbey VAQ 134 will begin its tran-

appointed to the position during the meeting at which commissioner Dave Walton resigned It was later determined the board didnrsquot fol-low the proper legal process in making the appointment and it was later rescinded
The candidates were briefly interviewed before the board voted
Wendy Shingleton appointed to fill for-mer commissioner Kirk Hufferrsquos seat on the board asked the candidates applied for the position
ldquoThe pool isnrsquot quite meeting my needsrdquo Holly replied ldquoI donrsquot think itrsquos meeting some of the peoplersquos needs hellip I have a lot of talent and energy and skill to bring to this position
and I think hellip I would be good for itrdquoWhile in the Navy Holly said she gained
leadership experience and worked with bud-gets facilities maintenance and ldquobuilding new buildingsrdquo
Robinson cited her experience and his-tory with the district and her background in accounting and auditing
Commissioner Steve Hoffmire asked what each candidate could bring to help erase a negative image of the district some in the community might have
Holly said that her lack of history with the district was an asset
ldquoI think I bring a fresh perspective and fresh energyrdquo Holly said ldquoIrsquom not burdened by the past I donrsquot know any of you peoplerdquo
Robinson said that her relationship with the pool was vital and if appointed she could draw back some people who left the pool
Before the vote Hoffmire said that he would abstain because of how the district mishandled Robinsonrsquos appointment
ldquoWe made a mistake and we owned itrdquo Hoffmire said
ldquoBut I believe the process is somewhat taintedrdquo
Hoffmire said a part of him wanted to let the 90-day deadline expire so the Island County commissioners would fill the position
ldquoI think some things were said that tend to make people believe the process is biased and I am very concerned with thatrdquo Hoffmire said ldquoAnd Irsquom very concerned with the image we have here The way that wersquove done busi-ness has caused people to raise an eyebrow over these past couple of years
ldquoI want to be completely fairrdquoParks board members Sean Merrill and
Shingleton voted to appoint Holly to the vacant
seat Chairman Allan McDougall affirmed the vote
ldquoItrsquos an honorrdquo Holly said ldquoI know there are issues I read the paper Irsquove seen there are issues with the pool and there are going to be issues with the budget and I think we need to do somethingrdquo
Holly said her goals as a commissioner include scheduling more lap time something she takes advantage of as a swimmer when she can and one day getting a bigger pool and making the pool self-funded
ldquoI just think we need to find a way to get it self-supportingrdquo Holly said
ldquoFundraising or I donrsquot know Irsquom new to this Irsquove had a lot of questions building up in my head so hopefully Irsquoll be able to answer thoserdquo

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

where knowledge makesthe difference
Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

As an ldquoOctober surpriserdquo informa-tion was planted related to my signa-ture on an OLF petition requesting that the issue of continuing opera-
tions at OLF be submitted to the affected voters in an election
My concern with flights over Ebeyrsquos Reserve is directed at the release of jet fuel over farmlands where food crops are raised and areas of dense population
I have never attended a COER meeting nor have I given this group any financial support I ldquounsub-scribedrdquo from their communications when their tactics became extreme
My opponent has posted this on her website
ldquoI strongly support the military and NAS Whidbey unlike my oppo-nent who wants to close the baserdquo
I do not support closure of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station nor any other base in the state of Washington
The economic impacts to Whidbey Island would be enormous
I find it interesting that Ms Ana Maria Nuntildeez says she strongly sup-ports the local military yet is accept-ing campaign contributions from COER the group sponsoring the petition that she is chastising me for signing
Campaign contributions are gath-ered after personally meeting with supporters the supporters want their candidate elected because
their beliefs and standards align with those of the other
Ms Nuntildeezrsquos acceptance of these funds brings her claimed support of the military into question
My opponentrsquos campaign manager posted this on the NASWI I Support OLF Facebook page ldquoYes I am Eileen King and resident of OH I am also Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos campaign manager Yes Ana Maria like most candidates has accepted donations from people who are members or signed the petition for COER She is a candidate and doesnrsquot turn down free moneyrdquo
I hope you can see through this latest ldquoOctober surpriserdquo and follow the money to determine who is tell-ing you the truth here Look to the one who is accepting COERrsquos money
This is an election race for the Island County treasurer whose duties are to care for the taxpayersrsquo money
Why is it that the current treasurer wants to talk about anything except her performance in office where it is so obvious that she has failed to do just that mdash care for the taxpayersrsquo money

By Helen Price JohnsonHindsight is 2020 and looking back
I see a small transit agency that grew from the grass roots and built up on a shoestring to a vital public service Run by only one person habits were entrenched
Money was saved in hopes of building a facility to meet growing needs Once grant funds came the local match took all the savings Unfortunately the big construction project took the directorrsquos
focus away from monitoring daily finances Expenses exceeded revenues creating a shortfall Services had to be cut If the proper internal financial con-
trols had been in place less dramatic adjustments could have been made over time Cuts shouldrsquove been made sooner We know that now
Steps were taken to strengthen Island Transitrsquos checks and balances The board has increased its oversight of finances Two board members now meet regularly with staff to review bank statements expenses and revenues
A new professional sits in the Transit finance office and is updating the internal controls of the agency Monthly reports are improved so the board can better monitor the cash position The State Auditors just finished their review of the Island Transit books for 2013 and confirmed that the previous financial officer did not follow standard practices in a number of areas
Most significant were the cash shortfall and the control of the federal grant funds for the new building This yearrsquos reductions in service did ldquoright the shiprdquo and Transit is oper-ating in the black again modestly rebuilding a reserve
The auditors deemed $100 thousand of the $10 million grant as questionable No one stole any money but payroll records and equipment inventory were not adequate That has been fixed The audit confirmed the board of directors need to improve its oversight of the director This is an opportunity to start new practices
Most important to moving ahead is hiring a qualified interim executive director so the transit agency is stabilized for the future and the impacts of the cuts can be addressed Tentative plans are to hire someone by Thanksgiving
An interim position makes sense to provide transitional leadership for the organization and provide ample time for the process of selecting a long-term director
The community needs to say what they want for the sys-tem to provide in the future How can service be expanded Should it stay fare-free Routes need to be adjusted to better meet the needs of our citizens
The audit results show that the agency grew over time yet the internal financial controls and Board policies did not keep up Significant progress has been made and I will work hard to continue improving Island Transit for the future

Response to errors defines candidateEditor
My response to the endorsement of my opponent They use the mis-steps that have occurred this year as the reason they are endorsing my opponent
Election year errors The worst timing
My father says ldquoIt is not the error that defines you but your response to itrdquo My response ldquoCorrect and put plans in place to avoid these situations from reoccurringrdquo
My accomplishments barely men-tioned Partial Payment program alli-ance with the Opportunity Council decreasing banking costs by 70 per-cent elimination of supplement back-log etc
Almost all of the accomplishments for which my opponent takes credit were initiated before she was hired she was the liaison representing my office She speaks of ensuring reports are delivered in a timely manner but failed three years running to com-plete the one report for which she was responsible in the financial state-ments Her vision for the future is a copy of what I have already stated
No original thoughtsShe signed a petition to close OLF
Coupeville She openly stated that she would be personally financially better off if NAS Whidbey were to close Yet she slaps a ldquoSupport Our Troopsrdquo sticker on her car to garner the military vote
As a military spouse and mama I appreciate the sacrifice and ded-ication of our service members I understand that freedom also means sacrifice whether moving every few years or hearing the sound of free-dom overhead
I have given my heart and soul as treasurer to better serve you I hum-bly ask for your faith and vote again

Oak Harbor
Clark County treasurer confident in NuntildeezEditor
I appreciate Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos lead-ership in coordinating this last year the PACrsquos User Group which devel-ops the software programming pri-orities of the county treasurerrsquos True Automation property tax collection system for 13 counties in the state of Washington
Even during difficult personal and family health issues over the last 12 months Ana Maria continued to participate in the discussions and decisions of the Washington State Association of County Treasurers including state legislation and partici-pating on WSACT committees
She is a strong advocate for excel-lence in treasury management and an asset to the citizens of Island County
As a result of sharing ideas my office has implemented some of the processes developed by Ana Mariarsquos office to improve our operational activities
The voters of Island County would do well to reelect County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeez and help continue her efforts to implement programs and processes to improve customer service financial management and tax collection in the treasurerrsquos office

CPA background make Wagner best choiceEditor
Rebecca Wagnerrsquos years of experi-ence as a CPA as well as her former employment with both Island and Skagit counties will make her a valu-able asset to the Island County audi-torrsquos office
Her extensive knowledge and working relationships that she has gained over the years will provide this department with a ldquoworking auditorrdquo an auditor who can competently run her department and maintain com-munication with other departments as needed

I-594
Flawed measure needs off ballotEditor
I just received a flyer in the mail with Rory Graves supporting Initiative 594 I have to admit that it finally sent me over the edge
The television commercials with her do meet their intended purpose of pulling at my emotions through heart-tugging testimony But I have to inform you that it gets my attention for reasons other than what Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility would like
You see the entire campaign makes me realize how fortunate we are to live in a society where women can get self-defense and firearms training Roryrsquos mother chose to stay in an abusive relationship without seeking any of that training It very well could have prevented the situa-tion of her shooting
Nowhere does the printed flyer or television spot state that the husband mentioned was prohibited from own-ing a firearm
I find it inexcusable that the Alliance would exploit women in this fashion The training opportunities for women to safely carry and use if necessary a firearm are endless
However the passing of I-594 will take away the possibility of receiving that training Through insane restric-tions regarding firearms transfers I will no longer be able to share my experience or firearms with another woman interested in shooting for sport or self defense
My gun club will no longer pres-ent eight classes a year in youth and womenrsquos firearm safety The way the initiative is written is totally out of step with the Second Amendment or state constitution
I am truly curious whether anyone on the Alliance staff has read I-594
in its entirety and understands the implication that the passing of this bill would have Give us a break out here
Someone fess up and admit that this legislation needs to be pulled from the ballot

McDowell
Where is the evidence to support OLF claimEditor
In his Oct 18 letter to the Whidbey News-Times Mac McDowell wrote ldquoThe Navy has long said OLF Coupeville is essential to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station remaining openrdquo
When and where has the Navy ever said that Mr McDowell didnrsquot offer one direct quote from the Navy to support this statement
If the Navy had ever said that it would have been part of every dis-cussion about OLF in meetings and newspaper accounts and letters to the editor for the last several years
It would have been plastered on billboards all over the island
It would have stopped dead in its tracks any claim by those who want OLF closed that they donrsquot also want the air station closed
Where has that statement been hidden all of these years If Mr McDowell has access to it he should produce it If not in the interest of his own credibility he should admit that he misspoke
Ann AdamsOak Harbor
Speak up now in support of baseEditor
When the last EA-6B retires Whidbey Island Naval Air Stationrsquos EA-18G Growlers will be the only US airborne electronic jammers and therefore responsible to protect and defend all US military and alliesrsquo forces worldwide
The Chief of Naval Operations wants to add up to 36 additional EA-18G Growlers including two shore-based (non-carrier) squadrons along with the support jobs and per-sonnel to Whidbey
There are meetings 4-8 pm Oct 28 29 and 30 in Coupeville Oak Harbor and Anacortes to accept com-ments in the EIS process
In 1989-90 a Coupeville anti-Navy group was instrumental through com-plaint efforts to get NAS Whidbey on the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure list
A similar anti-Navy Coupeville group is again trying to shut down NAS Whidbey by forcing the Growlers to cease flying on Whidbey
In 1990 the local community did not respond prior to BRAC On either Oct 28 29 or 30 you have the oppor-tunity to respond proactively support-ing NAS Whidbeyrsquos expansion and telling the Navy the Coupeville anti-Navy group represents a very vocal but extreme minority of residents
Seventy-plus years of Navy
operations at NAS WhidbeyOLF Coupeville should be grandfathered to allow the Navy to return to the same number of Navy personnel and jobs as was here when the A-6 was operational
The expansion is needed nation-ally Hopefully this time different from 1991 we can proactively support the Navy defeat the anti-Navy efforts and keep NAS Whidbey off the 2017 BRAC closure list
If you canrsquot attend you can com-ment supporting the Navy on wwwwhidbeyeiscom
If you donrsquot have internet access call Mac McDowell at 360-929-8207 for a comment form
This time the community needs to work to protect NAS Whidbey and to protect our local economy The Washington governorrsquos economic report indicates NAS Whidbey is the source of 88 percent of all economic activity in Island County

WEANThanks for celebrating 25 years of protectionEditor
Whidbey Environmental Action Network wants to thank all who par-ticipated and contributed to a very successful fun for all ldquoWEANFest Celebrating 25 years of Protecting Our Native Biodiversityrdquo
We especially want to thank the folks who attended the annual meet-ing and potluck donated to the silent auction bought donated items as well as Greenbank Farmrsquos fantastic new rental facility manager Madisun Clark
We also want to thank the great performers who raised the roof and blew the doors off the barn with their glorious music Whidbeyrsquos own Cranberry Bog Blue Grass Band Bellinghamrsquos soulful mischievous baritone Dana Lyons Orcas Islandrsquos banjo playing folksy singer Tom Rawson and his Baez-channeling part-ner Katherine Ellice from Vancouver British Columbia
I know many are wondering who won the Busted Bulldozer and Home Island Hero awards The Dozer went to Oak Harbor mayor Scott Dudley and the Oak Harbor City Council for callously cutting down an Oak Harbor icon the Post Office oak tree
The second award went to ex-Island County Commissioner Angie Homola for her efforts while in office Though competition was stiff in both cases the decibel meter went off the scale in favor of the winners
One reason WEANfest was held at the farm was because WEAN was instrumental in its evolution When Chateau Ste Michele Winery decid-ed to sell the farm in 1995 WEAN organized the first meeting Eighty people crammed the Greenbank Progressive Hall to strategize a plan
The rest is history and typical of what we do It is truly a jewel in the navel of Whidbey Island and a resource for residents and the region
With your continued support we look forward to 25 more years of championing sustainable strategies for a viable verdant and healthy future

GetchellOak Harbor coach Kerri
Molitor started an all-senior group along with junior Claire Anderson against Everett and the make-shift lineup rolled by the Chargers in the first two games 25-14 25-14
In the third game Molitor turned the match over to the underclassmen and the unit also had little trouble with Getchell (0-9 0-11) winning 25-13
In the first set the Chargers hung around for a while Oak Harbor led only 14-11 then ran off four straight points behind the
serving of Anderson to pull away
The Wildcats jumped to a 7-1 lead in the second game and were never threatened
The underclassmen played well together in practice Monday accord-ing to Molitor but got off to a ragged start in the third game However after the early struggles the Wildcats bounced back to bury the visitors

Wildcat soccer team drops pair of matches
Glacier Peak and Shorewood handed the Oak Harbor soccer team losses this week
Visiting GP stopped the Wild-cats 3-1 Tuesday and Oak Harbor lost 3-0 at Shorewood Thursday
Against the Grizzlies a couple of breakdowns proved costly
ldquoI thought we played them tough with the exception of three or four mistakesrdquo coach Mike Lonborg said
The Grizzlies (4-4-1 5-7-1) scored two of their goals off cor-ner kicks which was a trouble-some area for the Wildcats Lon-borg said
ldquoWe had a serious lack of com-municationrdquo Lonborg said
Natalie Gabbert tied the match at 1-1 with a penalty kick early in the second half then Glacier Peak put the match away with two goals in 90 seconds midway through the second period
Against Shorewood (7-2-2 8-5-2) Lonborg suited up only 13 play-ers because of injuries
Though shorthanded the Wild-cats ldquoplayed hard but it wasnrsquot enoughrdquo Lonborg said
ldquoShorewood had great posses-sion and controlled the flow the majority of the gamerdquo he added
The loss eliminated Oak Harbor from playoff contention
The Wildcats (1-7-2 5-7-2) wrap up the season with two matches next week Lynnwood (1-8-1 1-22-2) visits at 6 pm Monday Oct 27 in the final home game then Oak Harbor goes to Everett (2-6-2

Chimacum avenges loss to Coupeville
The Coupeville volleyball team knocked off Chimacum last week but the Cowboys evened the score with a 3-1 win over the visiting Wolves Thursday

ldquoWe had a hard time executing
and we made too many errors many occurring at critical mo-mentsrdquo Coupeville coach Breanne Smedley said ldquo

departing strike group and the squadrons involvement will be the Navyrsquos final job for the Prowler
ldquoThis is the final Navy EA-6B Prowler deployment and that despite its age compared to the modern EA-18G Growler the old Prowler thanks to its dedicated maintain-ers and air crew is proving itself right up to the endrdquo said Lt Joseph Hontz US 5th Fleet spokesman
The carrierrsquos air wing amassed 32611 flight hours 12548 total sorties and 9752 traps supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS and terrorists in Iraq and Syria according to the Navy
The Navy said in earlier news releases that the electronic
attack squadrons are assisting in air strikes performed by the US Air Forcersquos FA-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft and that approximately 74 percent of the attacks are by the Air Force
ldquoThe sailors who man our ships and squadrons should be extremely proud of what we as a team accomplished while deployed to the 5th Fleetrdquo said Rear Adm DeWolfe Miller in a statement released by the Navy
ldquoCarl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their pres-ence like ours will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorismrdquo
In addition to the Growler squadron the Carl Vinson strike group comprises seven squadrons of various attack and support aircraft totaling 6200 sailors
The carrier is also accompanied by four destroyersUpon its return to Whidbey VAQ 134 will begin its tran-
sition to the Growler which will complete the Navy-wide transition by the 2015 target date
Prowlers will still be flown by the Marine Corps squad-rons

appointed to the position during the meeting at which commissioner Dave Walton resigned It was later determined the board didnrsquot fol-low the proper legal process in making the appointment and it was later rescinded
The candidates were briefly interviewed before the board voted
Wendy Shingleton appointed to fill for-mer commissioner Kirk Hufferrsquos seat on the board asked the candidates applied for the position
ldquoThe pool isnrsquot quite meeting my needsrdquo Holly replied ldquoI donrsquot think itrsquos meeting some of the peoplersquos needs hellip I have a lot of talent and energy and skill to bring to this position
and I think hellip I would be good for itrdquoWhile in the Navy Holly said she gained
leadership experience and worked with bud-gets facilities maintenance and ldquobuilding new buildingsrdquo
Robinson cited her experience and his-tory with the district and her background in accounting and auditing
Commissioner Steve Hoffmire asked what each candidate could bring to help erase a negative image of the district some in the community might have
Holly said that her lack of history with the district was an asset
ldquoI think I bring a fresh perspective and fresh energyrdquo Holly said ldquoIrsquom not burdened by the past I donrsquot know any of you peoplerdquo
Robinson said that her relationship with the pool was vital and if appointed she could draw back some people who left the pool
Before the vote Hoffmire said that he would abstain because of how the district mishandled Robinsonrsquos appointment
ldquoWe made a mistake and we owned itrdquo Hoffmire said
ldquoBut I believe the process is somewhat taintedrdquo
Hoffmire said a part of him wanted to let the 90-day deadline expire so the Island County commissioners would fill the position
ldquoI think some things were said that tend to make people believe the process is biased and I am very concerned with thatrdquo Hoffmire said ldquoAnd Irsquom very concerned with the image we have here The way that wersquove done busi-ness has caused people to raise an eyebrow over these past couple of years
ldquoI want to be completely fairrdquoParks board members Sean Merrill and
Shingleton voted to appoint Holly to the vacant
seat Chairman Allan McDougall affirmed the vote
ldquoItrsquos an honorrdquo Holly said ldquoI know there are issues I read the paper Irsquove seen there are issues with the pool and there are going to be issues with the budget and I think we need to do somethingrdquo
Holly said her goals as a commissioner include scheduling more lap time something she takes advantage of as a swimmer when she can and one day getting a bigger pool and making the pool self-funded
ldquoI just think we need to find a way to get it self-supportingrdquo Holly said
ldquoFundraising or I donrsquot know Irsquom new to this Irsquove had a lot of questions building up in my head so hopefully Irsquoll be able to answer thoserdquo

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

where knowledge makesthe difference
Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

Response to errors defines candidateEditor
My response to the endorsement of my opponent They use the mis-steps that have occurred this year as the reason they are endorsing my opponent
Election year errors The worst timing
My father says ldquoIt is not the error that defines you but your response to itrdquo My response ldquoCorrect and put plans in place to avoid these situations from reoccurringrdquo
My accomplishments barely men-tioned Partial Payment program alli-ance with the Opportunity Council decreasing banking costs by 70 per-cent elimination of supplement back-log etc
Almost all of the accomplishments for which my opponent takes credit were initiated before she was hired she was the liaison representing my office She speaks of ensuring reports are delivered in a timely manner but failed three years running to com-plete the one report for which she was responsible in the financial state-ments Her vision for the future is a copy of what I have already stated
No original thoughtsShe signed a petition to close OLF
Coupeville She openly stated that she would be personally financially better off if NAS Whidbey were to close Yet she slaps a ldquoSupport Our Troopsrdquo sticker on her car to garner the military vote
As a military spouse and mama I appreciate the sacrifice and ded-ication of our service members I understand that freedom also means sacrifice whether moving every few years or hearing the sound of free-dom overhead
I have given my heart and soul as treasurer to better serve you I hum-bly ask for your faith and vote again

Clark County treasurer confident in NuntildeezEditor
I appreciate Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeezrsquos lead-ership in coordinating this last year the PACrsquos User Group which devel-ops the software programming pri-orities of the county treasurerrsquos True Automation property tax collection system for 13 counties in the state of Washington
Even during difficult personal and family health issues over the last 12 months Ana Maria continued to participate in the discussions and decisions of the Washington State Association of County Treasurers including state legislation and partici-pating on WSACT committees
She is a strong advocate for excel-lence in treasury management and an asset to the citizens of Island County
As a result of sharing ideas my office has implemented some of the processes developed by Ana Mariarsquos office to improve our operational activities
The voters of Island County would do well to reelect County Treasurer Ana Maria Nuntildeez and help continue her efforts to implement programs and processes to improve customer service financial management and tax collection in the treasurerrsquos office

I-594
Flawed measure needs off ballotEditor
I just received a flyer in the mail with Rory Graves supporting Initiative 594 I have to admit that it finally sent me over the edge
The television commercials with her do meet their intended purpose of pulling at my emotions through heart-tugging testimony But I have to inform you that it gets my attention for reasons other than what Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility would like
You see the entire campaign makes me realize how fortunate we are to live in a society where women can get self-defense and firearms training Roryrsquos mother chose to stay in an abusive relationship without seeking any of that training It very well could have prevented the situa-tion of her shooting
Nowhere does the printed flyer or television spot state that the husband mentioned was prohibited from own-ing a firearm
I find it inexcusable that the Alliance would exploit women in this fashion The training opportunities for women to safely carry and use if necessary a firearm are endless
However the passing of I-594 will take away the possibility of receiving that training Through insane restric-tions regarding firearms transfers I will no longer be able to share my experience or firearms with another woman interested in shooting for sport or self defense
My gun club will no longer pres-ent eight classes a year in youth and womenrsquos firearm safety The way the initiative is written is totally out of step with the Second Amendment or state constitution
I am truly curious whether anyone on the Alliance staff has read I-594
in its entirety and understands the implication that the passing of this bill would have Give us a break out here
Someone fess up and admit that this legislation needs to be pulled from the ballot

McDowell
Where is the evidence to support OLF claimEditor
In his Oct 18 letter to the Whidbey News-Times Mac McDowell wrote ldquoThe Navy has long said OLF Coupeville is essential to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station remaining openrdquo
When and where has the Navy ever said that Mr McDowell didnrsquot offer one direct quote from the Navy to support this statement
If the Navy had ever said that it would have been part of every dis-cussion about OLF in meetings and newspaper accounts and letters to the editor for the last several years
It would have been plastered on billboards all over the island
It would have stopped dead in its tracks any claim by those who want OLF closed that they donrsquot also want the air station closed
Where has that statement been hidden all of these years If Mr McDowell has access to it he should produce it If not in the interest of his own credibility he should admit that he misspoke

Speak up now in support of baseEditor
When the last EA-6B retires Whidbey Island Naval Air Stationrsquos EA-18G Growlers will be the only US airborne electronic jammers and therefore responsible to protect and defend all US military and alliesrsquo forces worldwide
The Chief of Naval Operations wants to add up to 36 additional EA-18G Growlers including two shore-based (non-carrier) squadrons along with the support jobs and per-sonnel to Whidbey
There are meetings 4-8 pm Oct 28 29 and 30 in Coupeville Oak Harbor and Anacortes to accept com-ments in the EIS process
In 1989-90 a Coupeville anti-Navy group was instrumental through com-plaint efforts to get NAS Whidbey on the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure list
A similar anti-Navy Coupeville group is again trying to shut down NAS Whidbey by forcing the Growlers to cease flying on Whidbey
In 1990 the local community did not respond prior to BRAC On either Oct 28 29 or 30 you have the oppor-tunity to respond proactively support-ing NAS Whidbeyrsquos expansion and telling the Navy the Coupeville anti-Navy group represents a very vocal but extreme minority of residents
Seventy-plus years of Navy
operations at NAS WhidbeyOLF Coupeville should be grandfathered to allow the Navy to return to the same number of Navy personnel and jobs as was here when the A-6 was operational
The expansion is needed nation-ally Hopefully this time different from 1991 we can proactively support the Navy defeat the anti-Navy efforts and keep NAS Whidbey off the 2017 BRAC closure list
If you canrsquot attend you can com-ment supporting the Navy on wwwwhidbeyeiscom
If you donrsquot have internet access call Mac McDowell at 360-929-8207 for a comment form
This time the community needs to work to protect NAS Whidbey and to protect our local economy The Washington governorrsquos economic report indicates NAS Whidbey is the source of 88 percent of all economic activity in Island County

WEANThanks for celebrating 25 years of protectionEditor
Whidbey Environmental Action Network wants to thank all who par-ticipated and contributed to a very successful fun for all ldquoWEANFest Celebrating 25 years of Protecting Our Native Biodiversityrdquo
We especially want to thank the folks who attended the annual meet-ing and potluck donated to the silent auction bought donated items as well as Greenbank Farmrsquos fantastic new rental facility manager Madisun Clark
We also want to thank the great performers who raised the roof and blew the doors off the barn with their glorious music Whidbeyrsquos own Cranberry Bog Blue Grass Band Bellinghamrsquos soulful mischievous baritone Dana Lyons Orcas Islandrsquos banjo playing folksy singer Tom Rawson and his Baez-channeling part-ner Katherine Ellice from Vancouver British Columbia
I know many are wondering who won the Busted Bulldozer and Home Island Hero awards The Dozer went to Oak Harbor mayor Scott Dudley and the Oak Harbor City Council for callously cutting down an Oak Harbor icon the Post Office oak tree
The second award went to ex-Island County Commissioner Angie Homola for her efforts while in office Though competition was stiff in both cases the decibel meter went off the scale in favor of the winners
One reason WEANfest was held at the farm was because WEAN was instrumental in its evolution When Chateau Ste Michele Winery decid-ed to sell the farm in 1995 WEAN organized the first meeting Eighty people crammed the Greenbank Progressive Hall to strategize a plan
The rest is history and typical of what we do It is truly a jewel in the navel of Whidbey Island and a resource for residents and the region
With your continued support we look forward to 25 more years of championing sustainable strategies for a viable verdant and healthy future

The Grizzlies (4-4-1 5-7-1) scored two of their goals off cor-ner kicks which was a trouble-some area for the Wildcats Lon-borg said
ldquoWe had a serious lack of com-municationrdquo Lonborg said
Natalie Gabbert tied the match at 1-1 with a penalty kick early in the second half then Glacier Peak put the match away with two goals in 90 seconds midway through the second period
Against Shorewood (7-2-2 8-5-2) Lonborg suited up only 13 play-ers because of injuries
Though shorthanded the Wild-cats ldquoplayed hard but it wasnrsquot enoughrdquo Lonborg said
ldquoShorewood had great posses-sion and controlled the flow the majority of the gamerdquo he added
The loss eliminated Oak Harbor from playoff contention

group deployed since Feb 15 according to the NavyNAS Whidbey-based VAQ 134 has been a part of the
departing strike group and the squadrons involvement will be the Navyrsquos final job for the Prowler
ldquoThis is the final Navy EA-6B Prowler deployment and that despite its age compared to the modern EA-18G Growler the old Prowler thanks to its dedicated maintain-ers and air crew is proving itself right up to the endrdquo said Lt Joseph Hontz US 5th Fleet spokesman
The carrierrsquos air wing amassed 32611 flight hours 12548 total sorties and 9752 traps supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS and terrorists in Iraq and Syria according to the Navy
The Navy said in earlier news releases that the electronic
attack squadrons are assisting in air strikes performed by the US Air Forcersquos FA-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft and that approximately 74 percent of the attacks are by the Air Force
ldquoThe sailors who man our ships and squadrons should be extremely proud of what we as a team accomplished while deployed to the 5th Fleetrdquo said Rear Adm DeWolfe Miller in a statement released by the Navy
ldquoCarl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their pres-ence like ours will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorismrdquo
In addition to the Growler squadron the Carl Vinson strike group comprises seven squadrons of various attack and support aircraft totaling 6200 sailors
The carrier is also accompanied by four destroyersUpon its return to Whidbey VAQ 134 will begin its tran-
sition to the Growler which will complete the Navy-wide transition by the 2015 target date
Prowlers will still be flown by the Marine Corps squad-rons

appointed to the position during the meeting at which commissioner Dave Walton resigned It was later determined the board didnrsquot fol-low the proper legal process in making the appointment and it was later rescinded
The candidates were briefly interviewed before the board voted
Wendy Shingleton appointed to fill for-mer commissioner Kirk Hufferrsquos seat on the board asked the candidates applied for the position
ldquoThe pool isnrsquot quite meeting my needsrdquo Holly replied ldquoI donrsquot think itrsquos meeting some of the peoplersquos needs hellip I have a lot of talent and energy and skill to bring to this position
and I think hellip I would be good for itrdquoWhile in the Navy Holly said she gained
leadership experience and worked with bud-gets facilities maintenance and ldquobuilding new buildingsrdquo
Robinson cited her experience and his-tory with the district and her background in accounting and auditing
Commissioner Steve Hoffmire asked what each candidate could bring to help erase a negative image of the district some in the community might have
Holly said that her lack of history with the district was an asset
ldquoI think I bring a fresh perspective and fresh energyrdquo Holly said ldquoIrsquom not burdened by the past I donrsquot know any of you peoplerdquo
Robinson said that her relationship with the pool was vital and if appointed she could draw back some people who left the pool
Before the vote Hoffmire said that he would abstain because of how the district mishandled Robinsonrsquos appointment
ldquoWe made a mistake and we owned itrdquo Hoffmire said
ldquoBut I believe the process is somewhat taintedrdquo
Hoffmire said a part of him wanted to let the 90-day deadline expire so the Island County commissioners would fill the position
ldquoI think some things were said that tend to make people believe the process is biased and I am very concerned with thatrdquo Hoffmire said ldquoAnd Irsquom very concerned with the image we have here The way that wersquove done busi-ness has caused people to raise an eyebrow over these past couple of years
ldquoI want to be completely fairrdquoParks board members Sean Merrill and
Shingleton voted to appoint Holly to the vacant
seat Chairman Allan McDougall affirmed the vote
ldquoItrsquos an honorrdquo Holly said ldquoI know there are issues I read the paper Irsquove seen there are issues with the pool and there are going to be issues with the budget and I think we need to do somethingrdquo
Holly said her goals as a commissioner include scheduling more lap time something she takes advantage of as a swimmer when she can and one day getting a bigger pool and making the pool self-funded
ldquoI just think we need to find a way to get it self-supportingrdquo Holly said
ldquoFundraising or I donrsquot know Irsquom new to this Irsquove had a lot of questions building up in my head so hopefully Irsquoll be able to answer thoserdquo

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

where knowledge makesthe difference
Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

Wildcat soccer team drops pair of matches
Glacier Peak and Shorewood handed the Oak Harbor soccer team losses this week
Visiting GP stopped the Wild-cats 3-1 Tuesday and Oak Harbor lost 3-0 at Shorewood Thursday
Against the Grizzlies a couple of breakdowns proved costly
ldquoI thought we played them tough with the exception of three or four mistakesrdquo coach Mike Lonborg said
The Grizzlies (4-4-1 5-7-1) scored two of their goals off cor-ner kicks which was a trouble-some area for the Wildcats Lon-borg said
ldquoWe had a serious lack of com-municationrdquo Lonborg said
Natalie Gabbert tied the match at 1-1 with a penalty kick early in the second half then Glacier Peak put the match away with two goals in 90 seconds midway through the second period
Against Shorewood (7-2-2 8-5-2) Lonborg suited up only 13 play-ers because of injuries
Though shorthanded the Wild-cats ldquoplayed hard but it wasnrsquot enoughrdquo Lonborg said
ldquoShorewood had great posses-sion and controlled the flow the majority of the gamerdquo he added
The loss eliminated Oak Harbor from playoff contention

ldquoThis is the final Navy EA-6B Prowler deployment and that despite its age compared to the modern EA-18G Growler the old Prowler thanks to its dedicated maintain-ers and air crew is proving itself right up to the endrdquo said Lt Joseph Hontz US 5th Fleet spokesman
The carrierrsquos air wing amassed 32611 flight hours 12548 total sorties and 9752 traps supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS and terrorists in Iraq and Syria according to the Navy

ldquoThe sailors who man our ships and squadrons should be extremely proud of what we as a team accomplished while deployed to the 5th Fleetrdquo said Rear Adm DeWolfe Miller in a statement released by the Navy
ldquoCarl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their pres-ence like ours will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorismrdquo
In addition to the Growler squadron the Carl Vinson strike group comprises seven squadrons of various attack and support aircraft totaling 6200 sailors
The carrier is also accompanied by four destroyersUpon its return to Whidbey VAQ 134 will begin its tran-

appointed to the position during the meeting at which commissioner Dave Walton resigned It was later determined the board didnrsquot fol-low the proper legal process in making the appointment and it was later rescinded
The candidates were briefly interviewed before the board voted
Wendy Shingleton appointed to fill for-mer commissioner Kirk Hufferrsquos seat on the board asked the candidates applied for the position
ldquoThe pool isnrsquot quite meeting my needsrdquo Holly replied ldquoI donrsquot think itrsquos meeting some of the peoplersquos needs hellip I have a lot of talent and energy and skill to bring to this position
and I think hellip I would be good for itrdquoWhile in the Navy Holly said she gained
leadership experience and worked with bud-gets facilities maintenance and ldquobuilding new buildingsrdquo
Robinson cited her experience and his-tory with the district and her background in accounting and auditing
Commissioner Steve Hoffmire asked what each candidate could bring to help erase a negative image of the district some in the community might have
Holly said that her lack of history with the district was an asset
ldquoI think I bring a fresh perspective and fresh energyrdquo Holly said ldquoIrsquom not burdened by the past I donrsquot know any of you peoplerdquo
Robinson said that her relationship with the pool was vital and if appointed she could draw back some people who left the pool
Before the vote Hoffmire said that he would abstain because of how the district mishandled Robinsonrsquos appointment
ldquoWe made a mistake and we owned itrdquo Hoffmire said
ldquoBut I believe the process is somewhat taintedrdquo
Hoffmire said a part of him wanted to let the 90-day deadline expire so the Island County commissioners would fill the position
ldquoI think some things were said that tend to make people believe the process is biased and I am very concerned with thatrdquo Hoffmire said ldquoAnd Irsquom very concerned with the image we have here The way that wersquove done busi-ness has caused people to raise an eyebrow over these past couple of years
ldquoI want to be completely fairrdquoParks board members Sean Merrill and
Shingleton voted to appoint Holly to the vacant
seat Chairman Allan McDougall affirmed the vote
ldquoItrsquos an honorrdquo Holly said ldquoI know there are issues I read the paper Irsquove seen there are issues with the pool and there are going to be issues with the budget and I think we need to do somethingrdquo
Holly said her goals as a commissioner include scheduling more lap time something she takes advantage of as a swimmer when she can and one day getting a bigger pool and making the pool self-funded
ldquoI just think we need to find a way to get it self-supportingrdquo Holly said
ldquoFundraising or I donrsquot know Irsquom new to this Irsquove had a lot of questions building up in my head so hopefully Irsquoll be able to answer thoserdquo

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

Visiting GP stopped the Wild-cats 3-1 Tuesday and Oak Harbor lost 3-0 at Shorewood Thursday
Against the Grizzlies a couple of breakdowns proved costly
ldquoI thought we played them tough with the exception of three or four mistakesrdquo coach Mike Lonborg said
The Grizzlies (4-4-1 5-7-1) scored two of their goals off cor-ner kicks which was a trouble-some area for the Wildcats Lon-borg said

Natalie Gabbert tied the match at 1-1 with a penalty kick early in the second half then Glacier Peak put the match away with two goals in 90 seconds midway through the second period
Against Shorewood (7-2-2 8-5-2) Lonborg suited up only 13 play-ers because of injuries

departing strike group and the squadrons involvement will be the Navyrsquos final job for the Prowler
ldquoThis is the final Navy EA-6B Prowler deployment and that despite its age compared to the modern EA-18G Growler the old Prowler thanks to its dedicated maintain-ers and air crew is proving itself right up to the endrdquo said Lt Joseph Hontz US 5th Fleet spokesman
The carrierrsquos air wing amassed 32611 flight hours 12548 total sorties and 9752 traps supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS and terrorists in Iraq and Syria according to the Navy

ldquoCarl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their pres-ence like ours will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorismrdquo

appointed to the position during the meeting at which commissioner Dave Walton resigned It was later determined the board didnrsquot fol-low the proper legal process in making the appointment and it was later rescinded
The candidates were briefly interviewed before the board voted
Wendy Shingleton appointed to fill for-mer commissioner Kirk Hufferrsquos seat on the board asked the candidates applied for the position
ldquoThe pool isnrsquot quite meeting my needsrdquo Holly replied ldquoI donrsquot think itrsquos meeting some of the peoplersquos needs hellip I have a lot of talent and energy and skill to bring to this position
and I think hellip I would be good for itrdquoWhile in the Navy Holly said she gained
leadership experience and worked with bud-gets facilities maintenance and ldquobuilding new buildingsrdquo
Robinson cited her experience and his-tory with the district and her background in accounting and auditing
Commissioner Steve Hoffmire asked what each candidate could bring to help erase a negative image of the district some in the community might have
Holly said that her lack of history with the district was an asset
ldquoI think I bring a fresh perspective and fresh energyrdquo Holly said ldquoIrsquom not burdened by the past I donrsquot know any of you peoplerdquo
Robinson said that her relationship with the pool was vital and if appointed she could draw back some people who left the pool
Before the vote Hoffmire said that he would abstain because of how the district mishandled Robinsonrsquos appointment
ldquoWe made a mistake and we owned itrdquo Hoffmire said
ldquoBut I believe the process is somewhat taintedrdquo
Hoffmire said a part of him wanted to let the 90-day deadline expire so the Island County commissioners would fill the position
ldquoI think some things were said that tend to make people believe the process is biased and I am very concerned with thatrdquo Hoffmire said ldquoAnd Irsquom very concerned with the image we have here The way that wersquove done busi-ness has caused people to raise an eyebrow over these past couple of years
ldquoI want to be completely fairrdquoParks board members Sean Merrill and
Shingleton voted to appoint Holly to the vacant
seat Chairman Allan McDougall affirmed the vote
ldquoItrsquos an honorrdquo Holly said ldquoI know there are issues I read the paper Irsquove seen there are issues with the pool and there are going to be issues with the budget and I think we need to do somethingrdquo
Holly said her goals as a commissioner include scheduling more lap time something she takes advantage of as a swimmer when she can and one day getting a bigger pool and making the pool self-funded
ldquoI just think we need to find a way to get it self-supportingrdquo Holly said
ldquoFundraising or I donrsquot know Irsquom new to this Irsquove had a lot of questions building up in my head so hopefully Irsquoll be able to answer thoserdquo

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

where knowledge makesthe difference
Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

group deployed since Feb 15 according to the NavyNAS Whidbey-based VAQ 134 has been a part of the
departing strike group and the squadrons involvement will be the Navyrsquos final job for the Prowler
ldquoThis is the final Navy EA-6B Prowler deployment and that despite its age compared to the modern EA-18G Growler the old Prowler thanks to its dedicated maintain-ers and air crew is proving itself right up to the endrdquo said Lt Joseph Hontz US 5th Fleet spokesman
The carrierrsquos air wing amassed 32611 flight hours 12548 total sorties and 9752 traps supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS and terrorists in Iraq and Syria according to the Navy
The Navy said in earlier news releases that the electronic
attack squadrons are assisting in air strikes performed by the US Air Forcersquos FA-18 Hornet and Super Hornet aircraft and that approximately 74 percent of the attacks are by the Air Force
ldquoThe sailors who man our ships and squadrons should be extremely proud of what we as a team accomplished while deployed to the 5th Fleetrdquo said Rear Adm DeWolfe Miller in a statement released by the Navy
ldquoCarl Vinson Strike Group has the watch and their pres-ence like ours will enhance regional stability and make a difference in the fight against terrorismrdquo
In addition to the Growler squadron the Carl Vinson strike group comprises seven squadrons of various attack and support aircraft totaling 6200 sailors
The carrier is also accompanied by four destroyersUpon its return to Whidbey VAQ 134 will begin its tran-
sition to the Growler which will complete the Navy-wide transition by the 2015 target date
Prowlers will still be flown by the Marine Corps squad-rons

appointed to the position during the meeting at which commissioner Dave Walton resigned It was later determined the board didnrsquot fol-low the proper legal process in making the appointment and it was later rescinded
The candidates were briefly interviewed before the board voted
Wendy Shingleton appointed to fill for-mer commissioner Kirk Hufferrsquos seat on the board asked the candidates applied for the position
ldquoThe pool isnrsquot quite meeting my needsrdquo Holly replied ldquoI donrsquot think itrsquos meeting some of the peoplersquos needs hellip I have a lot of talent and energy and skill to bring to this position
and I think hellip I would be good for itrdquoWhile in the Navy Holly said she gained
leadership experience and worked with bud-gets facilities maintenance and ldquobuilding new buildingsrdquo
Robinson cited her experience and his-tory with the district and her background in accounting and auditing
Commissioner Steve Hoffmire asked what each candidate could bring to help erase a negative image of the district some in the community might have
Holly said that her lack of history with the district was an asset
ldquoI think I bring a fresh perspective and fresh energyrdquo Holly said ldquoIrsquom not burdened by the past I donrsquot know any of you peoplerdquo
Robinson said that her relationship with the pool was vital and if appointed she could draw back some people who left the pool
Before the vote Hoffmire said that he would abstain because of how the district mishandled Robinsonrsquos appointment
ldquoWe made a mistake and we owned itrdquo Hoffmire said
ldquoBut I believe the process is somewhat taintedrdquo
Hoffmire said a part of him wanted to let the 90-day deadline expire so the Island County commissioners would fill the position
ldquoI think some things were said that tend to make people believe the process is biased and I am very concerned with thatrdquo Hoffmire said ldquoAnd Irsquom very concerned with the image we have here The way that wersquove done busi-ness has caused people to raise an eyebrow over these past couple of years
ldquoI want to be completely fairrdquoParks board members Sean Merrill and
Shingleton voted to appoint Holly to the vacant
seat Chairman Allan McDougall affirmed the vote
ldquoItrsquos an honorrdquo Holly said ldquoI know there are issues I read the paper Irsquove seen there are issues with the pool and there are going to be issues with the budget and I think we need to do somethingrdquo
Holly said her goals as a commissioner include scheduling more lap time something she takes advantage of as a swimmer when she can and one day getting a bigger pool and making the pool self-funded
ldquoI just think we need to find a way to get it self-supportingrdquo Holly said
ldquoFundraising or I donrsquot know Irsquom new to this Irsquove had a lot of questions building up in my head so hopefully Irsquoll be able to answer thoserdquo
Island Cannabis Company received one of the first licenses issued in Washington
He returned Friday camera around his neck for pictures for his blog to make a purchase which he planned to use in cooking
ldquoIt will be an interesting experimentrdquo said Trimbath after sniffing the two strains available blackberry Kush and purple Afgani
Whidbey Island Cannabis Co owner Maureen Cooke received her occupancy permit from Island County minutes before the storersquos 11 am grand opening
She said she expected the first day to be ldquoa zoordquo ldquoI can breathe nowrdquo said Cooke after the first few transac-
tions mdash all in cash As a few people lingered outside the frosted doors before 11
am Cooke asked her employees if they were ready to open
With a few pensive smiles a couple of knowing head shakes and a ldquonot quite yet give us five minutesrdquo Cooke waited
What was another five minutes after a more than three-month wait
It took that long for Island County to complete its review of her application
Whidbey Island Cannabis Company was issued a stop-work order in July by the Island County Planning Department for failing to apply and receive a proper building permit and go through a site review
The store had two strains of marijuana on hand Friday with an order for seven more Costs ranged from $19 to $28 per gram plus sales tax
Four edibles were available for sale as well Cookersquos opera-tions manager Drew Elliott showed off peanut butter cups peanut butter cookies oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies The edibles cost $3750 plus sales tax
ldquoPrices reflect the acquisition costrdquo said Casey Davidson owner of Green Life Cannabis in Wenatchee a longtime friend of Elliottrsquos who was visiting the night before to help the Whidbey shop set up
His store has been open for two months and struggled to
secure productThe store also offers paraphernalia for sale including pipes

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose

Kindergarteners visited Case Farm Friday to learn about the ani-mals and more importantly pick out pumpkins
Crescent Harbor Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary schools take students to the field every October
ldquoThey love to gordquo said Veronica Martino kindergarten teacher at Hillcrest ldquoThey make predictions about what animals theyrsquore going to see they write stories
ldquoItrsquos actually some of their best writingrdquo
Opening their farm to groups of children is something Sheila and Mike Case-Smith have done for years
Aside from how fun the visits are itrsquos a good educational experience for the children Sheila Case-Smith
ldquoA lot of kids have absolutely no idea where their food comes fromrdquo Case-Smith said ldquoso itrsquos been part of our goal to make sure that they have an opportunity to see some of the animals that grow on the farmrdquo
Case-Smith said that the farm occasionally get visits from college students who toured the patch as children
One woman who brings her day-care charges to the patch had her first experience there when she was in third grade
ldquoItrsquos incredibly gratifying to have them come backrdquo Case-Smith said
Each student mdash 63 from Crescent Harbor and about 80 from Hillcrest mdash gets to select a pumpkin to take
homeldquoThis onersquos for my sister my baby
sisterrdquo said kindergartner David Ybarra ldquoI already carved mine into a jack-orsquo-lantern hellip with a missing tooth like minerdquo
ldquoMy dadrsquos at work for a very long timerdquo Henry Peterson said ldquoHersquoll come home on Christmas So I picked this pumpkin for himrdquo
Peterson planned to carve a scary jack-orsquo-lantern out of his cho-sen pumpkin because his dad likes scary
The teachers also selected pump-kins to take back to school
ldquoNext week wersquoll be looking at the inside of the pumpkin getting to touch and feelrdquo said Annalisa Krystoph a Crescent Harbor kin-dergarten teacher
ldquoAnd then after the field trip wersquore going to actually be writing about our pumpkin about the experience and descriptions of their pumpkinsrdquo
At Hillcrest there will be a work station during their Fall Festival where students can learn about the insides of pumpkins
ldquoThey will put their little precious hands into the pumpkin and pick out some seeds to sprout them in the windowrdquo Martino said
ldquoI suppose the best part is in the enthusiasm they haverdquo Case-Smith said ldquoTherersquos a lot of energy in those little souls and itrsquos kind of fun to watch them
ldquoI suppose itrsquos the memories we make the special times that they rememberrdquo

Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose

where knowledge makesthe difference
Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

where knowledge makesthe difference
Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

Scammers are targeting newspapers
Credit card scam artists have conceived a new scheme involving newspapers Law Enforcement advises the usual precaution Use caution when speaking to anyone about sensitive financial information over the phone
The scammers pose as advertising representatives from the newspaper and call customers who have placed ads or classified notices to report a problem with the customerrsquos credit card
The callers say they need to confirm the card number and security code on the back of the card These callers are not from this newspaper
This newspaper will attempt to collect payment on returned checks and invalid credit card payments but advertisers would receive calls from our accounting department seeking an alternate payment method
To be sure you are speaking with an authorized representative of our newspaper use these following tips
bull Ask the caller to identify himselfherself and the office heshe is calling from including the address If you do not recognize the caller hang up and call your local newspaper office directly
bull Before providing payment information to a caller ask for information that would be unknown to scammers This could include your billing address or previous payment information A newspaper representative can verify your original payment method check numbers banking institution andor the last four digits and expiration of your credit card
bull If the caller claims your check was returned or credit card was declined verify this information by calling your bank or credit card company or by checking your bank statement
If you receive a scam call like this write down all information you can about the call such as the callerrsquos name phone number time of day and duration of call
If you feel you have given your information to one of these scammers ndash Immediately contact your bank andor credit card company to place a hold on the transaction in question or on your account and begin a fraud investigation Callers who may have already given financial information to callers should also call their bank or credit card company to place an immediate hold on their accounts and begin a fraud investigation
If you are a victim of this scam please contact this ofce 360-394-8704 your local police department
or the consumer fraud division of the Washington Attorney Generalrsquos ofce

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

approval her performance wasnrsquot reviewed since 1996 she took vacation without deducting it and she claimed to go on two-week conferenc-es when flight records show she was only gone for four or five days according to a draft audit report
The board approved a severance agreement with Rose following an executive session Oct 17 She will get two monthsrsquo salary mdash about $180000 mdash plus $88000 for unused vacation per her con-tract said Bob Clay chair-man of the transit board and Coupeville councilman
Clay said problems con-cerning Rose were the result of poor record keeping but nothing nefarious
ldquoI donrsquot believe Martha stole time or anything else that didnrsquot belong to herrdquo he said adding she had much more leave on the books than would have been allowed to be paid to her under the sepa-ration agreement
The auditors conducted three types of audits cover-ing the year 2013 Financial reporting federal and accountability
The audit found no defi-ciencies in financial report-ing
Auditors identified signifi-cant deficiencies and mate-rial weaknesses with the use of the $179-million federal State of Good Repair grant which was used for the new transit facility and required a $48-million match
The report states that Island Transit did not have adequate control to ensure that grant money was only being used for allowable pur-
poses The money was inap-propriately spent on mainte-nance items such as a tractor and tires and two gazebos
The questionable costs totaled $70000 plus there was $37000 in ldquolikely ques-tioned costsrdquo for similar items purchased in 2013 and 2014
The federal audit found the agency inappropriately substituted in-kind activities for the matching cash and claimed $13000 in payroll expenses above what was actually paid
The auditors noted failures in record keeping though the problems were resolved by the end of the audit
The other finding in the federal audit is the agencyrsquos financial conditions which ldquohas impacted current ser-vice levels and puts it at risk of not being able to meet financial obligationsrdquo
The report notes that the agency was deficit spend-ing since 2011 cutting the reserve funds drastically
Clay asked the auditors why they didnrsquot warn the board about financial prob-lems previously he pointed out that the agency pays the auditors a lot of money to review the books
Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said

Sadie Armijo the deputy director of the Auditorrsquos Office explained that the spending of reserve dollars was planned to occur as part of the construction of the new facility so there was no reason to worry when the reserves were spent She said there were still plenty of reserves at the time of the last audit but the crisis came about quickly
ldquoIn this case the red flags went up really fastrdquo she said
Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg a member of the board explained that spend-ing on services exceeded revenues especially after the
state cuts in transit fundingldquoWe didnrsquot realize at the
time we were providing more services than we could affordrdquo he said
The board was receiving financial statements dur-ing that co-mingled capital money with operating funds mdash thus hiding the deficit mdash the auditors said
The report faults the board and former director for not effectively monitoring the financial activity of the agency
Audit Manager Andy Asbjornsen said it is ultimate-ly the boardrsquos responsibility to ensure the agency is finan-cially stable
ldquoThe board could always request more reports and ask more questionsrdquo he said
In the accountability audit the experts found that the board did not have adequate oversight of its payroll
Specifically the report states the board didnrsquot approve salary schedules as required by the personnel policy
The board hadnrsquot done annual reviews of the direc-torrsquos performance con-tract and salary since 1996 though that was required by her contract
Rose received salary increases every two years ldquowithout specific board approvalsrdquo the report states
Rose was self-approving and self-reporting her leave to the agencyrsquos payroll spe-cialist without any oversight
Rosersquos calendar shows she was at a conference for 16 days in April 2013 but flight records show she was only in the same city as the confer-ence for four days
Likewise her calendar shows she was at a confer-ence for 19 days in September 2013 but flight records show
she was only in the same city as the conference for five days
Her four weeks of vacation spanned July and August of 2013 she had three weeks of vacation in June and July of 2014 Only six days of leave were deducted from her leave balance from August 2012 until September 2014
ldquoThis audit highlights the importance of elected and appointed local govern-ment leadersrsquo stewardship and oversight and their duty and obligation to those who depend on public services
and the taxpayers who fund those servicesrdquo said Thomas Shapley deputy director for communications for the Auditorrsquos Office
ldquoIt also highlights the importance of regular audits and how quickly the financial position of a local govern-ment can changerdquo
Both auditors and board members mdash with the excep-tion of Dudley mdash agreed that the board has already taken most of the steps nec-essary to address the litany of issues
Rose is no longer with the
agency and the board is look-ing at comprehensive budget information
ldquoIt appears that tran-sit is doing all necessary steps to resolve this issuerdquo Asbjornsen said
Last yearrsquos audit finding however is only partially resolved The agency was dinged for not adequately monitoring take-home cars and fuel cards It is still work-ing on controls to ensure actual mileage matches vehi-cle and fuel use
Rose could not be reached for comment

Jim Campbell resigned from the embattled Island Transit board this week and urged the others members of its board of directors to follow suit
The Oak Harbor councilman was on vaca-tion for about six weeks and missed the drama of Martha Rose leaving as director as well as the tussles between board members and Campbellrsquos temporary replacement Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley
Sweeping change on the Island Transit board seems unlikely however Board mem-bers are in the midst of searching for an interim director as the chairman of the board Bob Clay spends his days at Island Transit as the acting director
Clay said this week that he has no intention of resigning
ldquoIrsquom appointed by the Coupeville Town Council and the Coupeville mayorrdquo he said ldquoThe Oak Harbor council has no say in who represents Coupevillerdquo
Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said shersquos not quitting the board
ldquoIrsquom planning on addressing the shortfalls that have been identified and moving for-wardrdquo she said
She said the board has the opportunity to build a stronger agency
Likewise Langley Councilman Jim Sundberg said the agency is back on the path to sustainability and will have a reserve balance of $500000 by the end of the year He said he wants to stay on because he has the experience and knowledge necessary for the future
Island Transit has been in the spotlight over the last few months because of financial problems that led to layoffs and cuts in bus routes including the end of Saturday service
Campbell said during the Oak Harbor City Council meeting Tuesday that he was com-fortable with Rose leaving but that the entire board should also go He said he hopes he was only the first to resign
ldquoIrsquom not comfortable at this point that everything we need to do has been donerdquo he said ldquoI believe therersquos one more major step and tonight I want to kick that step offrdquo
Campbell said he wanted Dudley to continue as his replacement The City Council agreed and named the mayor as the cityrsquos representa-tive on the board until the end of the year
In an interview Campbell said the board members were just as culpable in the mis-takes made as Rose
ldquoIf we fired her we should fire ourselvesrdquo he said
