The City of Oak Harbor received the green light to obtain a low-interest loan of state and federal dollars to help fund the new sewage treatment plant.

Borrowing money for sewage treatment may not seem sexy, but Finance Director Doug Merriman said the low interest rate of 2.7 percent will save the city about $6.1 million in interest payments over the life of the financing period.

What’s more, the $11.46-million loan is just for one year of the project and city officials plan to apply for the loan throughout the multi-year project, so the savings could balloon.

And that’s good news for ratepayers.

“If we continue to be accepted in future funding cycles, that will definitely pull rates down from our original projections,” Merriman said.

Council OKs Kraken

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Members of the Oak Harbor City Council had no reservations about unleashing the Kraken downtown.

Last week, the council unanimously approved a $33,000 contract with an Oregon-based sculptor to create an eight-foot metal octopus-like monster attacking the Nautilus submarine. Councilwoman Tara Hizon and Councilman Bob Severns were absent.

The unique thing about the work of art will be tentacles. Two sets of tentacles will appear to emerge from the pavement and wrap around walk signals on either side of Pioneer Way at the Southwest City Beach Street intersection.

Cac Kamak, senior planner, explained that the 2011 Pioneer Way remodel project included four sites for arts projects. They were originally supposed to all be installed immediately, but funding issues caused the arts purchases to be spanned out over time.

The art projects are funded through a 0.25 percent utility tax on water, sewer and garbage in the city. The

Three projects are already in place Moon Maves, Stumbly Ducklings and the mermaid. The Kraken will be the final piece planned for downtown.

Kamak said the members of the Arts Commission wanted a bold piece for the intersection because of all the other “competing elements” at the location. The members also liked the idea

of a piece that would span across the road.

They approached artist Bill Hunt with ideas and the Kraken was born.

“This would be unique enough to attract attention and bring people downtown as well,” Kamak said.

Hunt said the Kraken will be based on the giant Pacific octopus, which lives in the waters surrounding Whidbey Island.

The county’s law library is asking the county to grant them $3,200 to cover a 2013 deficit and approve an increase in filing fees from $17 to $20.

Librarian Tom Karras has also offered to reduce his hours by five per week, which would reflect a savings of $4,000 per year in the library’s budget.

In previous years, Karras accepted a cut in pay to assist the library.

“It was really the librarian that saved the day,” said Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill, who chairs the Law Library board of trustees.

Churchill told the county commissioners during a work session Wednesday that the law library’s budget declined in recent years because of a decrease in the number of filings, and an increase in the number of people asking for fee waivers.

The library has already cut down on a number of books and resources over the years but has reached a point where they don’t feel more should be dropped, Churchill said.

The library would like to retain the Westlaw book collection at a minimum, she said.

State law requires that each county with

a population of 8,000 or more have a county law library. For counties the size of Island County, the required five-member law library board of trustees consists of the chair of the board of county commissioners, one of the Superior Court judges and three members of the county Bar Association.

The board of commissioners agreed that the measure should move forward to a regular meeting, but staff was directed to research how the fee increase might affect other budgets connected with the statute.

The law library is open for the public and the legal community to access materials for legal research.

Legal materials must be used in the library and are not available for checkout by the public due to the small size of the library collection. Library staff can assist visitors with locating materials but cannot give legal advice.

The library also offers three computers that are available for legal research databases.

Churchill mentioned that it has been a number of years since the technology in the library has been updated and the fee increase, coupled with the librarian’s hours decrease, may allow the board of trustees to build up a reserve for technology improvements in the future.

Oak Harbor woman accused in burglary on Zylstra Road

Residents offer comments on county transportation options

By JANIS REID Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor woman is accused of burglarizing a home on Zylstra Road, which has been a hotspot for residential burglaries over the past six months or so.

A number of residents and property owners in the Zylstra Road area of North Whidbey contacted the Whidbey News-Times about recurring problems. One woman said she cruises the area at night in search of possible burglars.

The suspect in the criminal case, however, has an unusual explanation.

Kelly C. James, 32, pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court Feb. 19 to one count of residential burglary.

Last December, the owner of a home on Zylstra Road reported to police that he drove up and caught a woman leaving the residence with an armful of belongings. The caller said the woman quickly left in a white Volkswagen that had a black racing stripe.

The man reported that a couple of computer printers and other items were missing from his home.

Lt. Mike Hawley with the Island County Sheriff’s Office investigated the complaint. According to his report, another deputy told him a week prior that the driver of a Volkswagen matching the description was being driven around at night on Goldie Road, and that it was suspicious.

Hawley was able to locate the suspicious car on Riepma Avenue.

Following the burglary complaint, Hawley and another deputy went to the Riepma Avenue residence and reported seeing James and two men unloading items from the car.

The deputies contacted the residents and noticed two computer printers sitting next to the car, according to an investigative report.

James allegedly told the deputies that an elderly and “real creepy” guy named Bob was evicted from the house on Zylstra Road and repeatedly asked her to retrieve items for him.

James claimed she finally retrieved the items so “Bob” would leave her and her children alone, Hawley wrote.

Hawley said he was able to locate the man named Bob, who was homeless after being evicted from the house. He admitted that he had asked James to get the property for him; he said the owners threatened to shoot him if he ever returned, the report states.

If convicted of the charge, James could face from three to nine months in jail under the standard sentencing range.

Healthy Communities contract with Whatcom Co. continued The Island County commissioners approved the continuation of a Healthy Communities contract with Whatcom County at Monday’s regular meeting.

The two counties share a grant of $35,000 from the state Department of Health which provides the funding to assist in implementing regional policies to improve nutritional and physical activity in city and county comprehensive plans, improve school nutrition and work toward tobacco-free park policies.

Island County’s top priorities should be transportation that encourages tourism and expands existing transit services, according to some residents.

Island County kicked off a series of transportationrelated public meetings last week, attracting folks with a wide berth of priorities.

“The two meetings we’ve had so far have been really good,” said Doug Cox, transportation planner for Island County. “I’m impressed with how many people made time to come to them. It’s encouraging to see how engaged our residents are.”

Meetings were held last week in Freeland, which drew more than 40 participants, and Oak Harbor, which had approximately 30 attendees.

A third meeting will be held 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, at the Camano Multi-purpose Center. Two additional sets of meetings will be held again throughout the county as the process moves forward.

More than a few beach access supporters at the Oak Harbor meeting stressed the importance of proper signage at beach access points and parks to ensure that the areas are clearly marked.

“I want to see Island County do more for signage to show people where our beaches and public parks,” said Jane Seymour. In some parts of the county, she said, “the signage is very limited.”

Tim Verschuyl expressed concerns about how the Navy population is affecting traffic patterns and contributing to pollution.

Other priorities included pedestrian and bicycle path access, Island Transit and

A few of those in attendance at the first meeting in Freeland became upset because they thought they would be given a chance to “testify” and have their comments recorded.

While residents are free to email comments and fill out comment cards at the meeting, some were disappointed that they weren’t given a chance to speak.

Commissioner Jill Johnson, who attended both meetings, sent an email to staff after the first meeting, offering suggestions on how they could make residents feel heard. The second meeting had a lengthened question-and-answer period.

“There was an improvement in the amount of time everyone was allowed to speak in the second meeting,” Johnson said. “It’s the first round of meetings and

I think they were just getting their sea legs.”

Cox said moving forward the county plans to be more clear about the format and objectives of the public meetings.

“I got the sense that some residents feel that if their comment is not said out loud in front of an audience, it doesn’t count,” Cox said.

“But that’s not the case at all. Whether you write it on paper, email it, discuss it with us on the phone or in person, we want your input.”

Washington counties are

required by law to update their Comprehensive Plan every eight years. As part of that update, the county must gather public input from Island County residents about the county’s transportation services.

“At this stage, you have people who are very passionate about different issues showing up,” Johnson said. “I’m hoping to see broader community participation. We live with this plan for eight years.”

Comments and questions can be emailed to Cox at d.cox@co.island.com.

Oak Harbor espresso stand owner serves smiles to familiar customers

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

It’s rare to find Tina Carman without a smile.

As a small-business owner in a world of coffee shops big and small all around her, Carman goes about her day offering not only a hot drink but a warm expression.

The key to her business’ survival, she believes, is customer service.

She injects her personality into her job because ... well, that’s just who she is.

“I’d like to think I have a different relationship with my customers,” Carman said.

“They get to come in here and it’s more like a ‘Welcome to my kitchen, let me make you some coffee and let’s talk

about our day,’ sort of thing.

“There’s no rush. I’m interested in what people have to say.”

For Carman, owning her own business, Drag ‘N’ Fly Espresso, is like a dream come true.

She calls the espresso shop that sits next to the entrance to Saar’s Marketplace in Oak Harbor her “baby.”

It’s dear to her because it’s the place she got her start as a barista shortly after graduating from Oak Harbor High School in 1994.

Now 38 and a mother of two, she’s the business owner as the result a whirlwind series of events that started with a simple Facebook message four years ago.

“You interested in your baby?” she remembers the post reading.

The question was being posed by Christian and Erika Kar, owners of The Espresso Connection chain that once dotted the landscape in Skagit, Island and Snohomish counties.

The Kars knew the business held special meaning to her. Carman got started at The Espresso Connection stand near Marketplace’s

She spent eight years working for the company, eventually becoming a trainer at other locations.

Ultimately, she went back to school to learn about the healthcare field and started working at Island Hospital in Anacortes and began a family.

But when the opportunity came to run her own business at a place dear to her, she knew she wanted to make it happen.

“I love people,” she said.

“That’s all there is to it.”

And many seemed drawn to her and the two baristas she employs, Courtnie Deckwa and Katherine Ebert.

Carman has some of the same customers she had when she was 20.

“I used to make hot cocoa for kids who are now adults so now they’re getting coffee from me,” Carman said, “and some of them have them have their own kids now that I’m making hot cocoa for. It’s kind of sweet.

“I get to watch these kids grow up and having families.

It’s rewarding.”

But the journey hasn’t come without struggles and challenges.

Carman is a single mother with a 9-year-old son, Kalvin, and 7-year-old daughter, Kilee.

However, she is surrounded by a supportive family that includes her parents Kim and Leroy Armstrong of Oak Harbor.

“My parents raised us to be able to take care of ourselves,” Carman said. “I’d like to think I’m doing a pretty good job at it.”

Carman’s daily inspiration comes from the two little ones she sees off to school each day. She wants her kids to see her as a role model.

“I would like it some day when they’re old enough to see that as a single mom, running her own business, trying to take care of two kids, and being there for them during school activities, that that is a good role model,” Carman said. “We get a little busy, but we always sit down at the table for dinner. We always talk about our day.”

And oftentimes, at Drag ‘N’ Fly Espresso, it’s an eventful day.

Inspired by the Navy aircraft that buzz overhead, she chose the name. Inspired by the people she meets and their stories, she keeps a smile on her face.

But there was one day last fall when that smile disappeared and she broke down.

With business slow and the holidays approaching, Carman was worried about

finances and began exploring the possibility of getting a second job.

Then one afternoon in November she checked her mail and opened a letter from her credit union from which she borrowed money to buy the business.

The balance for the loan showed zero, and there was a message attached to a receipt.

“All you owe is your dad a hug.”

Carman remembers the rush of emotions she was feeling. There was a little pride involved. She had almost paid off the loan on her own, but the payoff lifted a huge weight off her shoulders.

She picked up the phone.

“My mom answered the phone and I was in tears,” Carman said. “She was like, ‘Leroy your daughter is on the phone and she’s very upset right now.’ And I told him, ‘Why did you do this?’”

Her told her he wanted to help her like he’d helped others in the family.

“He’s a surprising man,” Carman said.

Her parents’ generosity has taken off some of the pressures of running the business.

“I’m looking to bring in some cups to sell,” Carman said. “That’s a dream of mine to be able to sell my own cups and travel mugs. How cool would that be to be able to see people walking around with your cup?”

Public weighs in at Island County Fair planning meeting

By BEN WATANABE Staff reporter

About 75 people crammed into the Coffman Building at the Island County Fairgrounds to hear and see the plans for restructuring the facility’s management and revamping its structures.

Some of the most noticeable changes are a planned reduction from 27 buildings to 12 and paving of the RV park and campground south of the main fair area.

Animal safety and comfort, failed bonds and adequate demand were among the main concerns aired during a public presentation Tuesday about significant changes proposed for the Island County fairgrounds.

“We have more facilities than we can use … ,” said Paul Schell, owner of the Inn at Langley and a member of the steering committee that presented the plans.

The former animal barns for fowl, dogs, cats and sheep may be combined into one large area with adjustablesize pens.

In response to that proposal, members of the public raised concerns about noise and an increased potential for the spread of diseases.

Conceptual designs show open-air, covered buildings for the animals near the attraction space for rides and carnival games. Damian Cortez said the noise would be disruptive to programs and demonstrations.

Another woman, who identified herself as a longtime volunteer with the sheep barn, echoed those concerns.

“These are no longer single-purpose buildings, they are multi-purpose,” responded Norm Landerman-Moore,

a consultant who devised the fair’s revitalization plan and presentation.

He said that open-air buildings eliminate the need for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, greatly cutting capital and maintenance costs.

Landerman-Moore failed to score points with the sheep barn volunteer when he later anecdotally criticized 4-H programs for allowing children to bring in “boom boxes” to liven up their booths.

Hearing comments about specific interests and concerns, Landerman-Moore directed the different animal groups wanting a say in the specific design to the future governing body.

During a later phase, he said, they should have input into the facilities’ design.

During a presentation for an overhauled fairgrounds, the steering committee and Landerman-Moore outlined a vision a new public development authority.

Should that group be created by the Island County Commissioners — Commissioner Helen Price Johnson was on the steering committee and attended the presentation — it would be called the Island Event Center Development Authority and have roles as landlord, event producer and promoter.

“We think that this will become a catalyst for hotels, restaurants and other services,” Landerman-Moore said.

The urgency for making $10 million in changes and upgrades over a 10-year span is the looming threat that many of the buildings are deteriorating too fast.

Steve Mileham, an engineer who worked on the concept design of the re-imagined Island County fairgrounds, shares details of the plans with a crowd of 75 people at a public presentation Feb. 18.

Leaders of the Whidbey Island Area Fair Association, the current agency that operates the fair and manages the grounds, said they cannot keep up with maintenance and fair production costs.

At the outset of the presentation, fair board member Dan Ollis gave an ominous warning that the major overhaul was necessary to keep the fair running.

“The fair as we know it will cease to exist if we keep going as we have,” Ollis said.

Later, Landerman-Moore echoed that statement.

“There is no other way that is plausible, that is feasible, to save the fair than to get it out of the facility management business,” he said.

During the presentation, Landerman-Moore illustrated the facilities issue with a photo of a toilet and an “out of

order” sign taped to it.

The state of the fair’s facilities was questioned by Ray Gabelein, who argued that not every building on the premises had rotting foundations and would need to be demolished.

He and others questioned if demand would cover the cost of building new structures, paving the grassy RV parking area and finding people to manage and maintain the grounds.

Demand for these new spaces and places was questioned.

Landerman-Moore said

his research showed 980,000 visitors came to Whidbey Island in 2012, and the new fair would attract more visitors from beyond Island County. The primary market area — counties around Island County like Skagit, Snohomish and King — had an estimated population of 4 million people.

Landerman-Moore figured a market penetration for festivals, special events, fairs, expositions, trade shows, demonstrations and conferences at 249,200 people.

The need for large conference space was validated

by Wayne Ude, the Whidbey Island Writers Association’s master of fine arts program director. Its annual writing conference used to be held on South Whidbey, but as it grew to eventually draw a few hundred people last year, adequate space was hard to find on the South End and the conference was relocated to Coupeville.

“Right now, the lack of space is hampering every arts organization on the island,” Ude said.

The steering committee’s presentation is available for viewing online.

GUEST COLUMN Partisan differences could hinder talks on education funds THE PETRI DISH

By JERRY CORNFIELD Democratic and Republican lawmakers are finding themselves once again falling down a rabbit hole in their Sisyphean efforts to cure the real and perceived ailments of the state’s public schools.

And now they face a deadline of sorts to figure a way out.

Four days before lawmakers began this year’s session, they received a stern warning from the state Supreme Court to pick up their pace of fully funding Washington’s education system.

The high court in its McCleary decision a couple years back gave the Legislature until 2018 to cover the full freight of a basic education for a million students, including the books they read, the buses they ride and the teachers they learn from.

And justices, who are tracking lawmakers’ progress, decided in January that they aren’t going to make it.

So they ordered legislators to come up with “a complete plan” for what they will do each school year in order to meet the deadline.

They want this detailed blueprint no later than April 30.

Last week, House and Senate members from both parties and Gov. Jay Inslee sat around a table in the governor’s conference room to start the task of writing that “complete plan.”

Inasmuch as this marked the first formal sit-down, no one arrived with an agenda to follow or expectations to achieve.

They went around the table and each person, beginning with Inslee, outlined what they thought should be highlighted in their response to the court.

It didn’t take long to see the partisan differences on the meaning of McCleary and the task before them.

Democrats said the plan should specify how they will pump in more money each year and make a few more reforms as needed.

Republicans said it’s about making additional reforms now and, yes, injecting a good chunk of additional money too.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR County

Compromise may be closing Wednesdays Editor, With regard to the closure to the public of certain Island County offices on Fridays and the push to reopen them, maybe there is room for compromise.

If the office staff has found it useful and efficient to close one day a week, move the day to Wednesday.

That way, one need only wait one day over a Wednesday, or two days over a weekend, not three days as it is now to conduct county business.

Garbage

$19.90 to the city of Oak Harbor to pick up our garbage is unjust, unAmerican and just plain wrong?

I take a lot of stuff to recycle and don’t generate even one full can a month.

At the facility on Old Oak Harbor Road, the most I ever paid was $14.50.

Usually it’s $11 and that’s for several months. I have a metal can to keep out rats, and, yes, it gets icky.

I’m careful and the can doesn’t smell bad after.

Even $14.50 every few months is a lot different than $19.90 per month.

Our elected officials are supposed to serve us, not rob us.

If you feel similarly, please write to the powers that be. Thank you.

THE DATE

CONTINUED FROM A6 Democrats want to focus on getting those dollars from such means as a swap of property tax levies with school districts or get new revenue from closing tax breaks or increasing taxes.

Republicans want to redirect existing tax dollars away from noneducation programs and into schools. After that, any new revenue can be used to backfill those programs.

Disagreements are deep enough that as

many as four plans – one from each caucus – could be sent to the justices.

Right now, participating lawmakers hope they can find a way to cover all their philosophical and political bases in one document.

In all, lawmakers and the governor conversed for 45 minutes.

They agreed to meet again.

They didn’t set a date for doing so.

“We were all in the same room talking. That’s a good thing,” said Sen. Bruce Dammeier, R-Puyallup, a onetime school board member.

“We have got to find a path forward.” n Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet. com. Contact him at 360-352-8623 or jcorn field@heraldnet.com

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Ron and Mary Hewitt Oak Harbor

Art project

Changing tax allocation takes collective voice Editor, I had sent an email to Mayor Scott Dudley expressing my concern about the proposed art work. Your article says the art work will be paid out of a utility tax, which infuriated me and apparently a lot of Oak Harbor citizens.

I was surprised and delighted when I received a phone call from Mayor Dudley on Sunday afternoon responding to my email.

Your paper is technically correct in that the art work is paid out of a utility tax but the way it works is like this, there is a 6 1/4 percent tax on utilities and the 1/4 percent is money that is set aside for the arts commission.

This was put into place sometime ago and I have to admit I should have been better informed but, nonetheless, the arts commission already has your money.

So the question now is as citizens do we want to change this? I would

encourage you to think about that.

As it is we really do not have a say into what art is brought into Oak Harbor.

By calling me on a Sunday afternoon I believe it shows Mayor Dudley cares deeply about Oak Harbor and at the reckless way money was spent in the past.

As citizens we can change that.

building, and make a youth center.

I’m tired of the council taking our money and spending it on unnecessary projects when they could do some good for our community.

When I watch the news, it’s full of our elected officials at all levels wasting our tax dollars; they do what they want, whether we like it or not, like Pioneer Way. Randy McClaskey Oak Harbor

Editor, We live in such a peaceful place with low persecuted people of faith in the U.S., even with the terrible crimes that we have.

But, imagine waking up to a day-today, in fear of seeing your neighbors, friends, even families being killed, beheaded, tortured — women and children being raped and killed.

For what? For just believing in the same God as we do, for not denouncing God and conforming to someone else’s beliefs.

Right now these inhumane crimes against innocent families in the Middle East, Syria and other coun-

tries are now happening even more than ever before.

Hundereds, even thousands, of innocent people are being slaughtered for their faith. And this terrorism seems to be ignored by our current administration and Congress.

I am not only heartbroken for our brothers and sisters in Christ’s name, but I am disappointed in our administration and Congress who represent the people of the U.S. If we as the United States do not tolerate terrorism, then why is this getting worse?

Why are they ignoring these crimes?

I am asking that if you to have a heart, whether you are a Christian or not, and call Congress or our representatives to please do something about these inhumane acts of terrorism against innocent families in these Middle East countries.

And to keep these people in our hearts, to pray for them in these horrible times of persecution they live daily.

Please pray for these families. We know that when many people pray together it becomes powerful and miracles can happen.

Thank you and God Bless.

Money better used to Make change create a youth center Voicing concerns to our representatives helps Editor, I can’t believe that the Oak Harbor City Council is considering spending more money on art.

We need to put the money to better use. We already have ducks and a mermaid.

I challenge the city council to go to Coupeville to the Juvenile Court, held 1 p.m. on Mondays.

That might offer an idea if what our youth have to do in Oak Harbor.

There is absolutely nothing for the youth in Oak Harbor to do.

Take some of that money and put a cover over the skate park.

Warrant issued for wanted Oak Harbor man A man is being sought on a $100,000 arrest warrant after failing to show up for his own trial Feb. 11.

Davis Solis, 31, of Oak Harbor, was scheduled to go to trial on a charge for methamphetamine possession, but his chair at the defense table remained empty. His attorney, Robert McKay, told the judge that he didn’t know why he wasn’t there.

Island County Superior Court Judge Alan Hancock approved the arrest warrant.

Prosecutors charged Solis on Feb. 11 with bail jumping, a felony charge.

If convicted of the bail jumping charge, Solis could face up to eight months in jail under the standard sentencing range.

He also still faces the meth charge.

Two Wildcats finish 3rd in state wrestling meet Jahleel Vester accomplishes goal, Cramsey-Behnke gets even at Mat Classic XXVI

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Jahleel Vester reached his goal and Amber CramseyBehnke earned some revenge at Mat Classic XXVI, the state wrestling tournament, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21 and 22, at the Tacoma Dome.

The Oak Harbor boys, led

by Vester and his brother Jeremy, scored 37 points and tied Ferndale for 18th in the 3A team race. North Central of Spokane won with 108.5 points.

Cramsey-Behnke was the only Wildcat girl who qualified and scored 19 points, putting Oak Harbor 30th out of 99 schools who had girls in the tournament. All Washington schools, regardless of classification, wrestle in the same girls tournament at state, and Warden, a 1A school, won with 104.5 points.

Vester places again Jahleel Vester, a senior, previously competed in the state meet three times, finishing eighth twice. He said earlier this season his goal was to complete his career by placing in the top three; he did just that, nabbing third in the 138-pound class.

Sophomore CramseyBehnke, who just barely qualified for state by picking up the fourth and final berth out of the regional tournament in the 235-pound class, lost her first match a state and then roared through the consolation bracket to finish third.

Along the way she defeated the girl who stopped her in the first round and two girls who finished ahead of her in the regional meet.

Junior Jeremy Vester finished fourth at 132; juniors Christian Bertram (113) and Mark Johnston (152) and senior Ray Quinday (220) each won one of three matches; and senior Jacob Dugin (195) and junior Constant Jackson (285) also competed.

Jahleel Vester, ranked third by the Washington Wrestling Report heading into state, reached the semifinals with a fall (2:59) and 9-0 win. He then lost 11-5 to topranked Kenji Yamashita of Vancouver’s Mountain View.

Oak Harbor coach Peter Esvelt said the third-place medal is the toughest to get because wrestlers have to bounce back from adversity.

Jahleel Vester responded by winning 7-3 in the consolation semifinals and then 3-2 over fourth-ranked Bryan Wais of North Central in the bout for third and fourth place.

“Jahleel wrestled with the same intensity that he had brought to all of his previous matches,” Esvelt said.

Assistant coach Joe Brannon said, “To his (Jahleel’s) credit, he gathered himself and refocused after the loss in the semis.

He finished his career with a perfect match.”

Cramsey counters Unranked CramseyBehnke started state by being pinned (5:32) by fourthranked Andrea Contreras of Warden. Undeterred, she pinned her next opponent in 23 seconds and then defeated Highline’s Sophia Munoz, who finished ahead of her at regional, 4-0.

Next came another firstround fall (1:49), setting up a rematch with Contreras. This time Cramsey-Behnke prevailed, winning by pin (3:33).

In the match for third and fourth, the Wildcat faced Sehome’s sixth-ranked Lisa Hernandez, who pinned Cramsey-Behnke on the way to the regional title a week earlier. Cramsey-Behnke again got vengeance with a 7-3 win.

“For a sophomore girl to take third in state is very promising,” Brannon said.

Jeremy Vester started with a 9-2 win, then lost 10-7. He followed with three straight wins to reach the match for third and fourth, where he met Eastside Catholic’s Matt Iwicki and lost 8-1. A week earlier, Vester, then ranked sixth, upset the top-ranked Iwicki for the regional title.

Johnston opened with a pin (4:16) then lost by a fall to eventual champion Gunnar Metzger of Hudson’s Bay. Esvelt called Jeremy Vester’s and Johnston’s weight classes the “two toughest at state.”

Bertram and Quinday

picked up wins after a firstround losses.

Constant was medically disqualified with a fever that sent him to the hospital for a checkup, according to Brannon, and couldn’t continue after his first match.

“The theme for a lot of the matches that did not go our way boiled down to the luck of the draw,” Esvelt said. “We lost tough matches to very tough wrestlers, and had we been in a different spot in the bracket, who knows.”

Coach likes effort Esvelt liked how his wrestlers weren’t intimidated by the bright lights of state, wrestled aggressively and supported their teammates.

“Overall, I was proud of my seniors, Jahleel Vester, Quinday and Dugin,” Esvelt said. “I thought they wrestled well and represented Oak Harbor wrestling with pride.

“Our juniors and one sophomore wrestled well, and have just enough unfinished business to drive them this SEE WRESTLING, A10

A student perspective Oak Harbor School Board includes member who offers different view

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

As the clock approached 8 p.m. Monday night, Reilly Richards remained focused on the matters at hand.

It would have been easy to drift into thought about Advanced Placement chemistry and other homework that was waiting for her at home.

It might have been easy to dwell on the weariness from an alarm clock that had sounded at 5 a.m. earlier that day to wake her.

But as the student representative of the Oak Harbor School Board, Richards knew she was picked to be in her seat because of the importance attached to her perspective.

“I was nominated by my chemistry teacher last year and first I wasn’t sure I wanted to do it because it’s meetings and you’re going to have to write speeches and it kind of freaked me out,” Richards said. “It actually is really interesting.”

Richards, a junior at Oak Harbor High School, started her year-long position on the board last month, taking over the role from Jake Nelson.

But Monday was her first big night to present her voice as she gave her initial stu-

dent report on recent high school developments and was prompted to ask questions to presenters.

She raised some eye brows with some of her questions.

“She was asking questions that no one else was asking and you have a unique insight into the issues from a student perspective,” superintendent Lance Gibbon said of the student board member position. “They’re the ones who are impacted by a lot of these decisions. Having a voice, having somebody who can at least ask those questions and provide some perspective really I think is invaluable to the work that the board does.”

Richards sits in the front of the room in the administrative building alongside school board members Christine Cribb, Gary Wallin, Pete Hunt, Christine Abbott and Corey Johnson. She has her own nameplate.

“It’s funny,” she said. “It feels official.”

When called upon, she posed questions to presenters about various subjects, including the use of technology in the classroom.

Reilly Richards, a junior at Oak Harbor High school and student school board member, weighs in on a topic Monday night. a progress report on the district’s adoption process involving secondary social studies curriculum and how they’re weighing online resources in conjunction with traditional textbooks.

Richards called for a mix of both.

“I think there should be a balance,” she said.

“Nowadays, students are involved in technology all the time. It offers more opportunities.

“But having a hard copy and textbook to read also is very important.

“I’m a little old-fashioned.

I have a difficult time with computers. I think it’s about balances.”

It was clear to Hunt, who recently took over for Wallin as school board president, that Richards would have no problem sharing insight on relevant subjects. She was the last one he’d call on as he went down the table.

“I thought it was interesting,” Richards said. “It made me think about what they were talking about more. I wanted to have a question.

After everyone’s already asking questions, being the last one is like, ‘What is there left to ask?’”

But she usually delivered.

Hunt likes having a student member.

“They’ve been involved to differing degrees over time,”

Richards, seated next to board members Christine Cribb and Gary Wallin, will serve as a student member until January.

Hunt said. “They’ve always been a super high-caliber student who has expressed interest in the process and has always been very knowl-

edgeable about what’s going on in the school. Those are the traits we’re looking for when we approve that board member.”

Crime solved: Langley’s mystery weekend comes to a close

By CELESTE ERICKSON South Whidbey Record

Langley’s 30th annual mystery weekend came to a close Sunday, as residents and outof-towners cracked the case of “The Deadly Deed.”

More than 1,000 people joined fictional detective I.B. Fuzz to solve the murder during the 30th Langley Mystery Weekend sponsored by the Langley Chamber of Commerce. The complex story, by Loretta Martin, wove

together 24 characters as suspects in the murder of fictional Italian citizen Carmelo Geaherdelli.

On the first day, suspicions were scattered amongst the characters as clues were gathered from more than 30 participating businesses.

For Evan Mahnken of Bellevue, the top suspect was one of the 49ers club members. The club claimed ownership of the deceased Geaherdelli’s properties.

Mahnken is no newbie to Langley’s mysteries. This was his sixth year participating in the event.

Mahnken spent some time questioning Geaherdelli’s son, Dino, regarding his whereabouts the night of his father’s murder in front of Good Cheer Thrift Store on Saturday.

The son dodged Mahnken’s questions in front of a growing crowd of passers-by, but revealed to Mahnken he did not know how his father

earned his fortune.

The mystery has become a tradition for the family who visit restaurants and the South Whidbey area during the annual mystery weekend.

Kirkland resident Zach McKenna’s primary suspect was character Max Lawless, who represented a real estate developer interested in Geaherdelli’s assets.

“I don’t know why, he just seems creepy,” Zach explained.

Zach, 12, sought clues from the scene of the crime at Langley Library and tried to make sense of the evidence he saw: a feather, pen, folder and blood.

This was Zach’s third time participating in the event.

Zach said he liked how the community came together to solve the mystery. He hoped to solve the crime, after being really close last year.

“In fact, I almost got it,” he said.

Whodunit?

Based on fingerprints and remnant of binoculars, Rufus Hawks was revealed to be the culprit Sunday night. Hawks, a Whidbey birder with interests in the estate, claimed he got in an argument with Geaherdelli and hit him with binoculars. Geaherdelli then fell and hit his head on a bronze otter sculpture.

“It’s a workable plan and is something we’ll massage along the way,” he added.

Under the proposed contract, the sheriff’s office will provide the town with two dedicated employees, Norrie and one deputy.

They will maintain their Coupeville Marshal’s Office uniforms and drive Coupeville patrol cars.

Though the sheriff will wield the ultimate author-

ity, town leadership will continue to direct law enforcement priorities.

Sheriff deputies will patrol and answer calls when deputy marshals are not on duty.

“It’s a win for the county and the town of Coupeville,” said Commissioner Jill Johnson.

“It provides predictable and top-notch coverage. It’s a good example of how we

can improve law enforcement without spending additional tax dollars.

The community and the taxpayer are coming out winners on this one.”

Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said the contract is a good way to leverage resources to ensure law enforcement needs are met.

“I commend you both for doing that,” Price Johnson said.

and surrounding land. The city entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the company for $2.6 million; the city will buy the property and build the treatment plant in the back parking lot if everything checks out.

Rick Norrie was selected as the new Coupeville Marshal’s Office, under the county sheriff’s office.

NAVIGATING CONTINUED FROM A1 rible time,” Rodgers said.

AFTER ATTENDING a public meeting on the Affordable Care Act held by the Island County Opportunity Council last year, Rodgers and his wife were able to connect with staff and get signed up for one of the low-cost health plans through the Health Plan Finder.

When Rodgers was laid off from a second job within months, he contacted the Opportunity Council and was able to switch to an extended Medicaid program.

Rodgers said any gap in insurance would have been stressful.

“It’s a relief,” Rodgers said. “My wife is a breast cancer survivor and she has annual check-ups she needs. Plus we have two kids. You don’t want to go without.”

THE STATE’S Health Plan Finder is Washington’s response to the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, a federal law requiring that all Americans have health care coverage.

Obamacare includes several provisions that help low-income residents get coverage for their medical bills.

While the official closure of the open enrollment period is March 31, applicants must qualify for a program or pay their initial premium by March 23 in order to be covered by the deadline.

ONE OF the biggest changes is the provision that state Medicaid programs can be extended to wider demographic of people. In Washington state, the extended Medicaid program is called Apple Health, which is offered at no cost if the applicant or family has low or no income. It now includes dental.

To date, more than 1,800 Island County residents have enrolled in the Apple Health program and hundreds more have found insurance through the Health Plan Finder.

Rodgers said that without the new health programs, and the help from local advisors, their health care prospects would have been a “nightmare.”

“It’s been a big help,” Rodgers said.

NOT ALL applications handled by the Opportunity Council have been resolved this quickly.

Shelby Welch, a 22-year-old with a pet-sitting business, spent months trying to enroll in a health care plan starting in October.

Welch estimates she spent four to five hours at a time on the phone trying to get though on the Health Plan Finder’s 800 number. She also was unable to get through to a real person at the Opportunity Council because they were initially short staffed and untrained.

The Opportunity Council originally looked into the new insurance plans as an additional service to add to the council’s many programs, according to Lisa Clark, director of the Island County Opportunity Council.

“We attended an interest meeting, and then figured out that we were the only ones from Island County who attended,” Clark said.

For that reason, the Opportunity Council suddenly became the lead agency on the project and two staffers went through a Sept. 17 training — just a couple weeks before open enrollment began Oct. 1.

TRYPHENA ADAMS, who was hired in early October, became the Opportunity Council’s lead in-person assister and has since helped hundreds of people through the application process.

In keeping with national reports, Clark and Adams initially experienced numerous errors and system problems, causing delays and requiring applicants to reschedule appointments numerous times.

While she watched her friends get “right in” and complete their applications, Welch seemed to experience every problem imaginable.

This included system errors, computer slow downs and staffing issues.

“This is one of the most frustrating and stressful things,” Welch said.

“I’m a story of a glitch.”

AFTER BECOMING extremely frustrated with the process, Welch went to the council’s walkin hours and camped out until she could make an appointment. That’s when she met Adams.

“The only positive thing was Tryphena,” Welch said of Adams.

Welch said despite her frustrating experience, she has seen the state and local agencies improve staffing and problem solving, making the process increasingly easy. On a recent phone call to the state’s 1-800 number, Welch said she waited under five minutes.

“It’s ten times better than October through January,” Welch said.

Based on her income, Welch qualified for Apple Health which now includes dental.

“I’m stoked about dental,” Welch said.

“That’s just a huge relief off your shoulders.”

LONGTIME SOUTH Whidbey resident Denise Hubert was uninsured the last time she had a medical emergency and ended up paying costly medical bills out of pocket.

So the Affordable Care Act was good news for Hubert.

An avid reader, Hubert had picked up bits and pieces from the news about Obamacare, but she still had a lot of questions and was unsure how to proceed.

“I was delighted to go to the public meeting,” Hubert said.

“When I heard you could get inperson assistance, I thought that was even better.”

During an appointment with Adams, Hubert also experienced a series of errors on her application and it took a little work before Hubert was able to view what types of insurance she might be eligible for.

WHEN AN Island County resident logs onto the Health Plan Finder, he or she will have three insurance options if he or she doesn’t qualify for Apple Health.

These plans are LifeWise, the Group Health Cooperative and Premera Blue Cross. Each avail-

able insurance offers three tiers of coverage — gold, silver and bronze — with a variety of deductible and premium levels.

Depending on the applicants income and family size, they may be eligible for tax credits that can be applied to qualified plans.

Based on the information entered into the system, the Health Plan Finder will direct applicants to the areas that apply, including Apple Health and the tax credit program.

HUBERT, WHO describes herself as a patient person, said the delays were understandable given that it was a new program that the country is figuring out as it goes.

Hubert who works as a contractor for a small firm, was able to qualify for Apple Health.

“It was a little frustrating but it’s not related to any one person,” Hubert said. “And it had a good ending. I’m certainly glad to see it for this country. Health care has not been extended to everyone and it does my heart good to see that.”

THIS WEEK, Clark said that the state has worked out a lot of the errors that were initially popping up and that the Opportunity Council, which has since partnered with Whidbey General, has more staff and is better equipped to deal with difficult cases.

While the learning curve has been sharp, feedback from the community has made the process worthwhile.

The Opportunity Council has helped more than 600 residents and families through the application.

“It’s been almost overwhelming to see the response from people who have not had health insurance before,” Clark said.

“The profound relief and excitement … it has been pretty amazing.” n For information, visit www.wahealthcarefinder.org, call toll-free at 855-923-4633, or contact the Opportunity Council at 360-679-6577.

City Engineer Joe Stowell said the work is ongoing, but the experts haven’t found anything in the parking lot that would nix the project so far. He said the 35,000-square-foot building has some small issues that would likely have to be addressed, depending on what the city plans to do with space.

“Everything is going along just fine,” he said.

The Department of Ecology released the list Friday of public projects throughout the state that were chosen to receive the funds through the Water Quality Program’s revolving loan for the year 2015. The city’s loan will help cover the cost of design work and construction on the wastewater outfall and treatment plant.

Merriman said the competition for the loans is pretty fierce. He said it took him and officials from the public works department about five weeks to put together the application.

Provided for by the federal Clean Water Act, the program is funded by an annual EPA capitalization grant, state matching funds, and principal and interest repayments on past loans.

This program provides low-interest and “forgivable principal loan funding” for wastewater treatment construction projects, eligible pollution control projects, and certain green projects, according to Merriman.

Mayor Scott Dudley said the inclusion of Oak Harbor’s project on the list is great news for a project that will likely be the most expensive in the city’s history.

He said the city ratepayers deserve a break, especially after absorbing a $2.20 monthly increase in the monthly storm drain fees to cover a portion of the cost of unearthing a Native American burial ground during the Pioneer Way project.

Stowell said he’s working with the city’s contractor and other city officials to create a new estimate for the cost of the treatment plant, which will then allow them to estimate the future rate increases for sewer service.

An earlier estimate was $93.5 million, but that assumed Navy participation — which isn’t going to happen at this time, said Navy officials — and a much higher interest rate on a 30-year bond.

Under the Water Quality Program’s revolving loan program, the city will pay only 2.7 percent on a 20-year loan.

He added that the city will continue to seek other funding sources, including grants, as the project progresses through 2017.
