Man missing after boat breaks apart

By JESSIE STENSLAND jessie@whidbeynewsgroup.com

The Island County Sheriff’s Office has released the name of a sailor who disappeared after a boat accident in Crescent Harbor Saturday afternoon.

Detective Ed Wallace said 33-year-old Keiyia Jones was last seen trying to swim to shore.

Jones and the 24-year-old woman who was with him on the boat were both activeduty members of the Navy, according to the sheriff’s office.

The woman told investigators that she quickly became numb while swimming and was barely able to make it to shore. She

Wallace said that Jones and the woman were crabbing in Crescent Harbor in a small boat when it started taking on water.

It eventually broke apart and sank.

Neither occupant was wearing a lifejacket.

Judge says no to COER injunction Tuesday

Family will seek damages in jail death of Keaton Farris

A federal court judge denied a group’s attempt to halt the Navy’s carrier landing practice at a field near Coupeville.

U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Zilly filed his order Tuesday, ruling against Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, or COER. COER filed a preliminary injunction against the Navy earlier this year claiming that the noise from the EA-18G Growler is harmful to the health of those who live near the field.

“The court concludes,” Zilly wrote in his ruling, ”that plaintiff has not established a likelihood of success on the merits, has not sufficiently demonstrated that its members will suffer irreparable harm absent an injunction, and has not shown that the balance of equities or

Officials at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station provided a brief statement.

“The Navy is pleased with today’s decision,” the Navy’s statement said.

“We will continue work on the Environmental Impact Statement that will analyze the possibility of bringing additional aircraft to NAS Whidbey Island.

“The draft version of that

document is scheduled to be released to the public sometime next spring.”

Attorney Ken Pickard, a COER member and former president of the group, said COER will appeal the decision.

“It’s very sad day for American when the federal courts allows the Navy to irreparable harm its citizens in order to conduct its training,” Pickard said.

In his ruling, Zilly questions the 13 declarations from resi-

dents about the health affects of the jet noise as well as a noise study conducted by two experts.

“The Supreme Court has warned that courts should exercise caution when considering complaints of anxiety and stress related to government action in the context of NEPA challenges,” he wrote.

“Both of these expert reports and declarations fail to raise new information,” Zilly said.

An attorney representing the family of a man who died from dehydration in Island County jail filed a tort claim with the county Friday.

The claim asks for a nonspecific amount of damages related to the April 7 death of Keaton Farris in a jail cell.

Nothing says “thank you” better than 3,000 pounds of pulled pork.

Volunteers dished out a free barbecue meal to more than 6,000 people Sunday during Pigfest, an annual event that started as way for a local chef to thank the community.

Car lovers show off classic rides

Jack Bittner of Bellingham stands in front of his 1959 Ford Galaxie/Skyliner. A doll named Nellie has her own version of the classic car.

Hundreds of people flocked to Oak Harbor’s Windjammer Park Saturday to pick out the car of their dreams.

And there were plenty to choose from.

Rows of perfectly polished cars gleamed under partly sunny skies as the North Whidbey Lions hosted their 30th annual car show.

A total of 201 cars in a dizzying array of makes and models participated in this year’s show.

Many of the cars also had extra items to draw attention, from giant stuffed animals to information signs to a lifesized ghoul in one driver’s seat.

Jack Bittner drove his perfect 1959 Ford Galaxie/ Skyliner from Bellingham to participate in the show along with Nellie, a doll who drives a Ford Galaxie of her own.

“That’s mini-me,” he said.

He explained that the Murray toy company’s pedal firetrucks from the 1950s were actually based on a Ford Galaxie, so he painted one to

match his car. Nellie and her car road in the backseat from Bellingham and got a lot of funny looks from passersby, Bittner said.

He explained that his wife, Sandie (Weible) Bittner, is from Oak Harbor originally so it’s convenient to participate in the show, but he appreciates it on its own merits.

“This is such a good show,” he said. “I absolutely love the way the public interacts with the cars.”

In contrast to most of the cars, Chuck and Suzy King of Coupeville’s entry was more about fun than polish. In fact, Chuck said he uses transmission fluid to shine up their 1949 International truck, which has both peeling paint and rust spots.

The gas tank is actually a beer keg — decorated with a deer skull and antlers — attached to the flatbed. A pool cue is both an ornament and a gas gauge; Chuck said he simply sticks it in the keg to determine how much fuel is left.

“It’s fun,” he said. “It’s a kick. We don’t have to worry about spit-shining it.”

Suzy agreed, adding that the truck gets a lot of attention from neighbors.

“It’s a neat little toy,” she said.

The Kings’ International won the coveted Editor’s Choice award.

Chadd Davis, this year’s chairman of the show, said the event was a lot of work for all the Lions involved, but it was another big success. The car show is the group’s major fundraiser for the year. He said he is hoping to double the support of all the fundraisers this year and possibly add another fundraiser.

He said organizing the show was a lot of work and he’s grateful to all the fellow Lions who worked so hard to make it happen.

A 1932 Graham owned by Steve and Karla Howard of Mount Vernon won Best in Show for the second year in a row. Davis said they felt a little bit bad about winning for two years, but he said

Whidbey General seeking hospice volunteers

By DEBRA VAUGHN

dvaughn@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Some of the most profound gifts of life have come to Mark Lucero with death.

Once a week he visits someone who is dying.

Sometimes they talk. They tell him about their families, their time in the service, their days long past. They tell him the things they need to say but can’t to the people they love.

Sometimes Lucero simply sits close while they sleep.

He wants to bring a gentle presence, a listening ear. He said he gains more from the experience than he gives.

“It’s a kind of a sacred privilege to sit with someone who is dying,” he said. “It’s a sacred space.”

The Coupeville man is one of about 20 people who serve as volunteers for Whidbey General Hospital’s hospice program.

Professionally, he works as a grief counselor with his own practice in Coupeville.

He decided to get involved as

As a volunteer, his job is to provide respite to the patient’s caregivers, who are usually family. He tends to visit the same person for a

period of time.

There’s the rub.

“You get attached to people, especially if you spend a significant amount of time with someone,” he said. “You get attached and you know they’re going to die.”

This work isn’t as dark as one might expect. To the contrary, there are jokes, laughter and sometimes pointed commentary from the patient.

“People who are dying don’t waste time when they have

The hospital is searching for more volunteers, said Suzanne Reynolds, a volunteer coordinator. In particular, they would like to find veterans, since these volunteers can often better relate to the life experiences of patients who also served in the military.

Volunteers need to be 18 years or older, pass a background check and participate in about 20 hours of training.

The next training session is later this month. Those who are interested should call 360-914-5635.

“You have to have a comfortable attitude about dying,” Reynolds said. “You need to be a good listener, generally a calm person and want to be of service.”

In a culture in which death is often sanitized and hidden, Lucero said this experience has made him more aware of life — in particular, how to live his own better.

“We won’t live forever,” he said. “It lights a fire under you to go after your dreams.”

That project is in its third and final phase, the board said.

The board agreed to spend up to $115,000 to survey and control the aggressive weed spartina throughout the county. Spartina, also known as cordgrass, is a genus of plants frequently found in coastal salt marshes.

The commissioners agreed to pay up to $78,000 to Patrick Cole, doing business as Wildlands Management, of Mount Vernon, to survey and control Spartina on the island through June 30.

An existing concrete bulkhead will be partially removed, an existing rock groin will be partially removed and constructed at a different location, and beach material will be moved from one location to another, the county said.

The board had already preliminarily approved the plans and awarded the contract, it said.

Whidbey General Hospital’s hospice program is about a year old and Medicare certified, which means that someone on Medicare receives hospice care at no cost to the person, said Diane Fiumara, hospice manager.

Hospice provides care to people whom doctors believe have less than six months to live.

Patients can choose to stay at home, where doctors, a social worker, nurses and the chaplain come to them.

Hospice aids help patients bathe or shower.

“If you ask most people to picture where they would want to die, they would say in their homes surrounded by family and not in a sterile hospital environment — although some prefer that and that’s OK too,” Fiumara said.

At the moment, about 30 patients are in the program.

The BBQ Joint is family’s labor of love

By DAN RICHMAN

drichman@whidbeynewsgroup.com

You don’t have to leave Washington state to get a taste of genuine Texas BBQ, say native Texans Tim and Sonna Ryan, coowners of Oak Harbor’s The BBQ Joint.

The nine-year-old restaurant offers six types of meat, all massaged with home-made rubs and then smoked over hickory wood.

“Barbecue was a staple we ate once a week,” Tim Ryan said during a recent interview. Though not a competitive barbecue chef, “I’ve been cooking it for 10 years.”

“I’ve got it right. It tastes good!”

The BBQ Joint serves beef brisket, mild kielbasa and spicy andouille sausage, pork shoulder for pulled pork, half-chickens and baby back ribs. The brisket and pork are cooked for 15 hours, overnight, at very low temperatures. The ribs and chicken — cooked twice a day, once for lunch and once for dinner, are smoked for 3.5 hours.

The meat is cooked and served traditionally — dry, with sauce on the side. And “we don’t do hamburgers and hot dogs,” Ryan said.

“We do strictly BBQ, full-time.”

The beef is choice or better grass-fed meat from the Northwest, Ryan said. The sausage is made in Oregon, and the chicken also hails from the Northwest. Nothing is frozen or prepared.

“I don’t even own a freezer or a fryer,” he said.

The restaurant makes its own salad dressings from scratch and

Two Navy personnel, who said current practices require they remain anonymous, order meals paid for by the “Mystery-Lady Fund” from The BBQ Joint co-owner Tim Ryan’s daughter, Courtney Harper, and employee Daniel Tarango. makes its own baked beans, cole slaw, macaroni salad and potato salad. This summer it’s serving collard greens from Bell’s Farm in Oak Harbor.

The food isn’t the only distinctive feature about The BBQ Joint.

Several years ago, a woman who wishes to remain anonymous, came into the restaurant and donated $500 in memory of her late husband, a retired Navy chief, to buy meals for randomly chosen servicemen and women who come in. As word of the “Mystery-Lady Fund” spread, other customers began contributing to the pot.

The woman still comes by every couple of months to make sure the

& Entertainment Guide

fund is topped up.

“It’s been up to $900 at times,” Ryan said. “You can feed a lot of people with that.”

About half the restaurant’s business comes from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. About 80 percent of the remainder “we know to say ‘hi’ to,” he said. “It’s a repeat business, with some newcomers every week.”

The place serves about 200 customers per day in the summer and gets a lot of catering business through late September, he said.

After daylight savings time starts, business slows and the restaurant closes one hour earlier.

He declined to reveal revenues

but said the business, which employs 12 full-time-equivalent workers, has been profitable since its inception.

As to competition, there really isn’t any, Ryan said. “We were attracted to the Northwest because there weren’t a lot of barbecue places at the time.” That’s changed — Famous Dave’s and Dickey’s have come to the Seattle area. And Petosa BBQ recently opened in Freeland.

The Ryans started their restaurant when they got bored with early retirement from sales and marketing at AT&T, Tim said.

He’s from Fort Worth; she’s from Austin. They were living in Tulsa but had visited the Northwest and wanted to open a restaurant.

“I played golf every day for four years and couldn’t get any better,” he said. “I decided I was watching too much Oprah and reclining too much. This was something I felt I knew how to do.”

“It’s very simple. And we both love people.”

Serving customers is one of their pleasures, he said. “That’s the best part about this job.”

Neither of them is near retiring, but that’s OK, he said, because “it’s fun.”

Their daughter, Courtney Harper, works at the restaurant, as do her children, 17-year-old boygirl twins.

“I don’t think she’s interested in taking over, but the kids love it here. If anyone were to take over it would be them.”

Chamber plans Aug. 21 golf tournament Oak Harbor’s Chamber of Commerce on Aug. 21 will host a fundraiser golf tournament at the Whidbey Golf Club, 2430 S.W. Fairway Lane, Oak Harbor.

Registration and a buffet luncheon start at 11:30 a.m., and the shotgun start — a simultaneous tee-off from different holes — is at 1 p.m.

This is the tournament’s first year, said Chamber golf chairman Ronnie Wright. “We’re trying to pull the business community together for a day of fun and to raise money for chamber to do a few different projects,” he said.

Those projects include streetlights in some parts of town and a fireworks show on New Year’s Eve, he said.

Tournament funding opportunities range from being the title sponsor, with a company’s or individual’s name and logo prominently displayed on all posters and programs, for $5,000, to being a game sponsor, with a sign at several of the games, for $200. Hole sponsorships — a 12-by-12 foot booth at a hole with signs showing a sponsor’s name and logo — cost $600.

Entry fee to play is $135, which includes golf, the luncheon, snacks and an awards ceremony with hors d’oeuvres.

Contact the Greater Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce to register.

Join us Wednesday in celebrating 125 years as your paper PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

By KEVEN R. GRAVES

For 125 years, the Whidbey News-Times has covered the news and events of importance to its readers.

There have been those occasions that the newspaper has ruffled feathers and been the direct target of a “shoot-themessenger” mentality.

That’s all a part of any good community newspaper’s history.

And it’s that unique history that we invite you to celebrate with us during an open house 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, at our Oak Harbor office, 31955 State Highway 20, across from Big 5.

We will be serving free hot dogs and popcorn and giving away balloons and prizes. It’s our way of saying “thank you” to all of our readers, advertisers and staffers past and present.

We’re not only recognizing 125 years as an active and vital business within the North Whidbey community, but also more than a century of journalistic independence and integrity.

There’s no doubt that newspapers like the News-Times have adapted or evolved in response to the challenges created by the Internet and increasingly competitive landscape. For a time, some people took glee in sounding the death knell for print newspapers.

That tide has shifted. We are seeing our subscriber numbers climbing steadily as we embrace our web presence and people return to the newspaper because of its independent voice.

More than once during the past year or so, readers have told me they allowed their subscriptions lapse in recent years but are coming back because they like what they are seeing in our pages.

Winning back those subscribers speaks directly to the talented and dedicated staff that currently works for this newspaper and take seriously the role the News-Times plays in people’s lives.

As we reflect on the past century of covering your community and the evolution of the newspaper from its founding in 1890, we eagerly look forward to the years ahead.

From the hot-lead presses of yesteryear to the Goss press that seemed huge in the 1970s and 1980s to the mammoth press that produces our newspaper today, it’s mind boggling to ponder what the next 125 years might bring.

While I don’t expect to be around for the 250th annivesary, I’m proud and humbled to play just a very small part of the rich history of this local newspaper.

There’s no greater feeling than to know you’ve done your best and helped to keep people informed along the way by covering the news regardless of the slings and arrows it sometimes draws.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Whidbey General

Pledging to earn trust, be advocate for reform Editor, The vote of confidence by Whidbey Islanders in my candidacy for the hospital board is heartening.

In reviewing the numbers, I see that voters in each of the four precinct areas — North, Central and South Whidbey, and Oak Harbor — supported me over the incumbent, showing the north and south citizens aren’t always political opposites.

Though I’ve lost my underdog status, I pledge to work even harder to build up your trust. I’m offering fresh ideas, as readers of my campaign website and blog are aware.

I’m doubling up on my work ethic and sense of commitment to improving our hospital—look for me in my aqua scrubs.

Please remain engaged, pass the word around and make sure to return the ballot that arrives in mid-October.

Those ballots will dictate whether we will have an advocate for reform or a representative of the past status quo on our hospital board.

Thank you so much for your encouragement, your support and your votes.

Vanderzicht Pool

Flawed levy funding reason for shortfall Editor, With regard to the Whidbey NewsTimes article on Aug. 5 addressing operations and maintenance funding problems that the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District is experiencing with the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool: The district is an autonomous junior taxing district and relies on general property tax and pool user fees as the only money received for pool operations and maintenance.

Neither the state, Island County nor the City of Oak Harbor or Coupeville provides any additional funding.

The district does not work for Island County or the City of Oak Harbor. It works for the state of Washington.

A six-year operations and maintenance levy is the method used to

Connie Ross

collect part of the district’s working capital.

Island County establishes the property tax and collects and disburses money to the district based on a voter approved levy rate, presently at 17 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value.

It is my belief that the district should receive this voter-approved levy amount each and every year of the six-year levy.

But there is a problem with the way that Island County views the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District since Island County considers the district to be part of its overall tax base “pie chart,” including the schools, hospital, roads, etc.

In addition, Island County only gives the district the voter-approved rate for the first year of the six-year levy.

In years two through six, Island County reduces the money it gives to the district by one to two cents per year so that instead of receiving 17 cents per $1,000 for years one through six, in the sixth year the money received could amount to only 12 cents per $1,000 or less.

This is the major reason why the district is short of reserves and capital SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR improvement funds.

If the district had received the full amount of voter approved levy funding since 1982, then it would have adequate reserves for ongoing preventative maintenance and capital expansion.

It is recommended that the district, Island County and the state resolve this problem so that the district receives the full amount of voterapproved levy funding each and every year.

As a former district commissioner, 2004-07, I attempted to get this issue resolved.

It is time to reopen this issue and get the problem fixed.

Planned Parenthood

Letter writer misled by a smear campaign Editor, Joan Cross’ letter to the editor, “Planned Parenthood committing ‘atrocities’,” can stop crying over babies whose lives are “snuffed out” and “body parts sold” by Planned Parenthood because that is not what’s happening.

Planned Parenthood has stated that the videos recently aired on TV about this issue were grossly misleading.

They were highly edited, and the verbal exchanges were taken out of context. Planned Parenthood has done nothing illegal and no charges have been made.

Ms. Cross’s Aug. 5 letter contains false information that should not go unchallenged. She stated our federal government funds abortion related services by Planned Parenthood.

In actuality, only three percent of what Planned Parenthood does is even related to abortion at all, and none of those services are funded by the federal government.

Nor do Planned Parenthood employees seek to make woman feel shame

THEY REPRESENT YOU

about unplanned pregnancies, or disrespectfully refer to fetuses as “blobs” or just “tissue,” so women don’t feel guilt if they choose to abort, as Ms. Cross stated.

That charge is absurd.

Pregnant women are shown they have choices: parenting, adoption or abortion. No one option is pushed, rather each woman is encouraged to make the decision that is best for her and her family.

Nancy Pelosi was accurate when she recently called this whole issue about supposed atrocities by Planned Parenthood a “fake controversy.”

This is the eighth time in as many years that Republicans in Congress have tried to defund Planned Parenthood.

This political smear campaign against Planned Parenthood is just the newest assault on women’s reproductive rights.

Investigations of Planned Parenthood will ensue, and they will be a big, pointless waste of time and taxpayer money, much like the repeated attempts to repeal Obamacare.

Greenbank Farm

Time to reexamine commission’s ruling Editor, As an Island County taxpayer for the past 16 years and full-time resident since 2012, I’ve been amazed and disappointed by the lack of transparency or process in the Port of Coupeville’s decision to sunset relations with the Greenbank Farm Management Group.

It appeared that the only dissenting commissioner, Mike Diamanti, was as taken by surprise as were the rest of the citizens gathered at the recent port commission meeting.

In light of the two commissioners who have supported this action over the objections of the citizens, I’d offer the following ideas:

n Table the recent vote to discontinue working with the Greenbank Farm Management Group, n Form a citizen’s advisory panel to examine the port’s and farm’s future plans, budgets, etc., and, n Provide a meaningful forum to accept input from all stakeholders.

This reexamination period would provide all of the stakeholders an opportunity to express their concerns and for the incoming port commissioners to work with the community to identify a mutually acceptable solution to this situation.

Bob Monroig Greenbank Farm

Commissioners’ vote not done in good faith Editor, The discussion on the island surrounding the Greenbank Farm business owners and the actions of two of the Port of Coupeville commissioners is still a hot topic.

That’s good, because it increases the level of awareness for many people to the quality of their locally elected officials.

I think the behavior of Marshall Bronson and John Carr was arrogant and disrespectful. They did not work together in good faith with the Greenbank folks, and they disregarded the quality of products and services the Greenbank Farm provides.

I go to the farm often. It is a positive, wholesome place with high-quality products that have been consistent over a number of years.

The events in the past years have been great: dances, kids’ events, fairs, markets, etc.

It is a destination point for many tourists and a gathering place for north, central and south islanders.

Perhaps the men in question can reconsider their position. People of integrity admit to mistakes and do change their mind. Let’s see and let’s look forward to the new people coming on board.

When asked to describe the emotions associated with caring for a loved one with memory loss, the most common response is: “I feel so guilty.”

Caregivers feel guilty for: things that happened in the past; the unusual behavior of their loved one; losing their temper; resenting the caregiving responsibilities; and so much more. Some of

these guilty feelings are small while others center around critical issues.

The trouble with guilt feelings is that, if left unaddressed, they can interfere with healthy, effective decision making. Recognizing the guilt that surrounds caring for a loved one with memory loss can help keep it in perspective, allowing the caregiver to be more objective in their daily interactions with their loved one.

Here are some things you can do to help keep your guilt in perspective: • Recognize the feelings for what they are. When the source of guilty feelings are recognized they become manageable.

• Identify how the feelings of guilt are affecting your decision-making.

• Don’t second guess the decisions that you make.

• Don’t expect to be perfect. It is common to feel resentful, angry and lonely at times. Accept these feelings as normal and don’t feel guilty.

• Seek help from professionals and support groups. You need outside support and guidance to keep perspective.

Above all remember, you are doing the very best job that you can. Give yourself credit for all that you do.

Garage of Blessings will be distributing items from its charity clothing drive Sept. 1.

Clothes giveaway Sept. 1

By RON NEWBERRY

rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com

There will be few dry eyes at The Garage of Blessings Tuesday, Sept. 1 during the culmination of a charity clothing drive known as “Operation School Clothes.”

That’s the date when hundreds of children will gather at the free thrift store in Oak Harbor to receive a new outfit or new pair of shoes.

“It’s our most emotional day of the year,” said Kristiina Miller, the store’s founder.

In its fourth year, Operation School Clothes is a joint venture between The Garage of Blessings and Opportunity Council of Island County.

The Garage of Blessings has roughly two more weeks to round up a total of 350 sponsors for needy children in Oak Harbor.

A sponsor may opt to purchase a new outfit or new pair of shoes for a child and may pick the grade level and gender they would like to buy for.

More than 100 sponsors signed up to help in the first week of the drive, Miller said. To sign up, go to www. thegarageofblessings.com The Opportunity Council screens children from kindergarten through 12th grade to determine if they fall within the poverty level.

Those eligible will receive a ticket for a new outfit or shoes at The Garage of Blessings, located at 3159 Goldie Road.

The goal is to help at least 350 children, which represents the number of kids the Opportunity Council will outfit with free backpacks filled with school supplies.

The Garage of Blessings has a goal to match those 350 students with a new outfit or shoes.

“This year is our biggest year ever,” Miller said.

Miller got more heartwarming news when the Oak Harbor Assembly of God Church contacted The Garage of Blessings to ask if that church could provide dinner for the large gathering. The dinner is at 5 p.m. Sept. 1, followed by students receiving their outfits or shoes a half hour later.

Sponsors of the students also are encouraged to attend the event, Miller said.

Salon Seven, an Oak Harbor beauty salon, also has agreed to be the site for free haircuts for students pre-kindergarten through 12th grade for the fourth year in a row.

Dates for free haircuts are Sept. 1-2, beginning at 10 a.m. each day.

Several professional hairdressers will be on hand to cut students’ hair. Salon Seven is located at 715 SE Fidalgo Ave., Oak Harbor.

New Coupeville High School football coach Brett Smedley wants to build more than a winning program.

He wants to develop student-athletes of high character.

Smedley is Coupeville’s fourth head coach in seven years. Ron Bagby, who held the post for 26 seasons, stepped down after the 2009 season. Jay Silver coached for two years, then Tony Maggio followed for three.

Smedley, the defensive coordinator the past two seasons, now steps into the ring with a goal to mold responsible young men.

Men of Character “I wanted the Coupeville job because Coupeville has great kids and a very supportive community that I thoroughly enjoy working with,” Smedley said. “I am passionate about building a strong football program here that develops men of character.”

That last comment, character development, is key to Smedley’s coaching philosophy.

“The program will develop well-rounded players by holding them accountable as a model representing the high standards of Coupeville High School football,” he said. “Community and parent involvement is integrated in order to provide players with a holistic and supportive experience.

“Ultimately, we will develop men of integrity and character, who, once they graduate and leave our football family, will be caring and contributing members of society.”

New Coupeville football coach wants his players to be ‘caring, contributing members of society’ who truly enjoy each others’ company, working hard and being a part of the Coupeville football family,” Smedley said.

Smedley lists a handful of team goals for the first season, and, not surprisingly, several tie directly into the four covenants. Others cover effort, focus, improvement and enjoyment.

These goals, he added, aren’t just for the players but for the coaches and managers as well.

This development will come through the program’s four core covenants: commitment, competitiveness, belief and selflessness.

Smedley wants his troops to commit to all aspects of their lives --- family, team, school, community --- and compete to be the best they can be as students, friends, sons and football players.

Players need to believe in themselves, he said, so that they “can get the job done.”

“I truly believe that we need to develop selfless young leaders who put others needs above their own.”

Background Smedley grew up in Vancouver, Wash., and attended Columbia River High School. He went on to play tight end for Western Washington University and Linfield College.

After graduating from college, he returned to coach football and basketball for one year at Columbia River. He also coached track and field at Hockinson High School for one season, and then football and basketball at Battle Ground for a year.

He moved to Coupeville three years ago with wife Breanne Smedley, who coaches the CHS volleyball team.

The Wolves will continue to run a 3-5-3 defense this fall, he said, but will switch away from the wing-T offense favored by Maggio.

Smedley is assisted by Ryan King, Dylan Schachtner, Nic Shular and Bryan Ford.

Practices for the 2015 season begin Wednesday, Aug. 19.

The opening game is 7 p.m.

Friday, Sept. 4, at South Whidbey.

The Wolves won’t play at home until 5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, when Klahowya visits.

Buying In So far the growth has been positive. Smedley has worked with the team through off-season activities and said the players are “buying in.”

“I think if you came to a game, practice, school (or) community (event), you would see these four covenants at work.”

One way to produce these positive results is to build a family atmosphere, he said.

“I want every kid, regardless of their skill level, to realize that they are a huge part of this team, and that once they sign up to be on the football team, it’s not just a team, they have just joined a very big family,” Smedley said.

“We have a team full of guys

Highland Games bring a bit of Scotland to island

By KATE DANIEL

kdaniel@whidbeynewsgroup.com

A

mid a sea of tartan and swell of bagpipes, thousands gathered Saturday for the 17th annual Whidbey Island Highland Games.

Amongst the dozens of notable community members and Scottish clan representatives, one particularly distinguished guest traversed the grounds.

Visiting the Pacific Northwest to attend meetings in Seattle, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter attended the games during a brief getaway to Whidbey.

Mac MacDonald, master of ceremonies, noted that he had spoken with Carter following the opening ceremonies and was told Carter was impressed.

Carter also paid a visit to the Scottish American Military Association, whose representatives were present Saturday.

Carter’s visit was befitting of the event, as several aspects of the Highland Games harken to ancient battle traditions.

According to Scotland. org, the oldest free games in Scotland, held at Ceres in Fife, began under a charter awarded by Robert the Bruce in recognition of villagers’ support at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.

According to the Scottish Official Highland Dancing Association, the legend of the origins of the sword dance is no exception.

The association website states that the dance originated with Scottish prince Malcolm Canmore, son of King Duncan of Scotland whom Macbeth defeated and killed in 1040 in order to take the crown.

After fleeing to England, Canmore returned to Scotland with an army and eventually killed Macbeth. It is said that he then crossed his sword over his slain enemy and danced triumphantly over and around the blade.

Karen Shelton-Johnson, Highland dancing chairwoman, said there were approximately 60 dancers competing at this year’s games, a few more than last year.

Dancers were divided into groups based upon age and

ability. The premiere class, the most advanced category of dancers, ranged in ages from nine to 28.

“It’s very athletic,” SheltonJohnson said.

Though the dancers wore more formal attire than their fellow athletes, SheltonJohnson said their endeavors also require a great deal of “power and strength,” as well as the ability to keep time precisely with the bagpiper.

Until the 1920s, the dance was only open to men, she explained, though today the event is dominated by female dancers.

Athletes also competed in events that included Braemer, or a heavy stone thrown for distance from a standing position; open stone, a slightly lighter stone thrown for distance using a shuffle or spin approach, similar to a shotput; heavy weight for distance, a weight on a chain thrown with a spin approach; light weight for distance; hammer throw; caber, which

Shelton-Johnson expressed a similar sentiment, saying she takes pride in knowing that her Scottish ancestors participated in the same traditions.

involves flipping a long and heavy piece of wood similar to a tree trunk; sheaf throw; and weight for height.

“The Greeks have nothing on us,” said MacDonald.

“They throw a javelin; we throw a tree.”

Kids’ sports were also incorporated, wherein participants threw less intimidating objects, such as stuffed animals.

Jordan Akins, athletic director for the Whidbey Island Highland Games, said about 40 athletes participated this year.

Akins said the games have provided her a way to connect with her Scottish heritage, something she’s always been keenly interested in.

“The games are great way to experience something that is as much a part of me as

being a Whidbey Islander,” she said.

Many attendees and participants shared in Akins’ desire to connect with a long Scottish lineage, including representatives of Scottish clans such as clans MacMillan, Maxwell, Maclean and Donald.

“You’re all Scottish or Celtic at the Highland Games,” said MacDonald during the opening ceremonies.

CLAIM FILED CONTINUED FROM A1 firm Schroeter, Goldmark & Bender.

“We’re asking the court to take an affirmative action, which could take any number of forms,” she said.

For example, she said, the court could take a supervisory role to ensure that spe-

cific reforms are instituted at the jail.

Coupeville resident Fred Farris, Keaton’s father, said the family and supporters are continuing their campaign to educate the public about the tragedy in an effort to push reform at the jail. They

planned to attend Hempfest in Seattle Tuesday to distribute 19,000 water bottles in honor of Keaton Farris and to staff a booth with education materials about him and the jail.

“We are going to do whatever we can to raise aware-

ness,” said Fred Farris.

Meanwhile, Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said jail reforms are already underway.

Brown hired an expert in jail management to analyze the operation of the jail and make recommendations about possible improvements.

Phil Stanley, the former director of the Chelan County jail, has a contract for 180 hours of work, which will cost less than $25,000.

Island County Undersheriff Kelly Mauck said he expects Stanley’s report to be complete by the end of September.

Many other changes have already happened since Farris’ death, especially in relation to medical care, said Mauck.

The nurse who saw Farris the day before he died and failed to alert the jail to any concerns has quit. The physician’s assistant who has

Wednesday, August 12, 2015 • Whidbey News-Times

worked in the jail for many years submitted a letter stating that he won’t seek a new contract at the end of the month.

Mauck said the jail is moving to a different model for providing health care to inmates.

Under a model that existed in the jails for years, the sheriff’s office contracted with a physician who supervised a physician’s assistant.

The assistant, in turn, supervised a nurse from the Island County Public Health who provided care at the jail.

Under a new model, Public Health likely won’t be involved, though a team of nurses from the department are currently providing care.

Mauck said the plan is to contract with an advanced registered nurse practitioner — a nurse with a graduatelevel education who can prescribe medication — and a licensed practical nurse to provide care at the jail.

He said they would provide more than 40 hours of medical care to inmates.

“The goal is to coordinate all aspects of care in the jail,” he said.

Such services will come at a cost. He said the cost of providing medical care has been about $2,000 a year per bed. In comparison, medical care at Whatcom County jail facilities costs about $3,800 a year per bed.

He said he expects the new costs to be similar to those in Whatcom.

Fred Farris, however, said he simply doesn’t trust the sheriff and his administration to fix problems he believes have plagued the jail for years.

His preference, he said, would be to close the jail and make sure the inmates are held someplace safe. Barring that, he feels that someone from the outside, like a judge, should monitor the reforms.

Goater said they won’t know exactly what kind of reforms they feel are necessary until after they receive more information.

Goater explained that filing the tort claim is a necessary step towards a lawsuit, which can’t be filed until 60 days after the tort. She won’t be able to obtain full discovery information or depose witnesses until after the lawsuit is filed.

The tort claim briefly outlines the history of the tragedy.

Farris, a 25-year-old Lopez Island man and former Coupeville student, was arrested March 20 for failing to appear in San Juan County Superior Court on a check theft charge.

He was initially held in the Lynnwood jail and then was transferred to three other jails over six days.

Staff members in each jail observed that he was “gravely disabled” with a mental health history.

“Despite his obvious vulnerability,” the claims states, “Keaton Farris was placed in an isolation cell in Island County Jail, barely monitored by jail staff, deprived of visits from concerned family members, not evaluated by medical staff, and deprived of sufficient water.”

His exact day of death is unclear because jailers didn’t find his body right away and because they falsified the jail log, according to the claim.

“Keaton Farris suffered extensive physical, psychological and emotional injuries leading to his death while incarcerated in the Island County jail,” the claim states.

“His damages include such suffering, the suffering of his family and their loss of companionship.”

Confederate flag at Whidbey Fair draws ire Fair administrator: ‘It’s been taken care of … it will never happen again’

By BEN WATANABE

bwatanabe@whidbeynewsgroup.com

A different set of stars and bars drew the ire and attention of plenty of people at the Whidbey Island Fair parade Saturday.

A pair of Confederate flags were flown as part of the parade, along with the U.S. flag and the MIA/ POW black flag for lost military veterans, by some American Legions Riders on motorcycles.

The flag, considered by some to be a symbol of racism given its history as the banner for American secessionists seeking to continue slavery, but is argued by others to be a symbol of Southern pride, has become a national issue after several racially charged crimes.

“With the crisis in the country right now over racial injustice, this is like pouring fire on the flame,” said Marti Anamosa, a Clinton resident.

Anamosa, who watched the fair parade, said she promptly wrote a letter to the American Legion Post no. 141 telling them she was upset.

“We need to be talking to each other, and not aggravate the situation,” she added.

American Legion Post 141 Commander Kevin McDonald said he felt terribly about people’s reactions to the Confederate flag.

“In my heart, I’m really sorry it offended anybody,” said McDonald on Monday.

“It was not our intention.”

The South Whidbey Legion holds dozens of fundraising events that have resulted in several thousands of dollars doled out to charities across the island and college scholarships.

McDonald, a founder of the Legion riders, said it is an offshoot for the club’s motorcycling enthusiasts and has 41 members.

Only a handful took part in the parade Aug. 8, and only a couple of them secured Confederate flags to wave behind them in the

parade.

McDonald said he accepts some of the responsibility for not considering the context of recent racially charged violence when allowing the flags to be included in his group.

“It wasn’t even a well thought out thing, considering the political things going on,” he said.

“We should just stick with the basics of the American flag, the Legion flag, the POW flag,” McDonald added.

The issue gained the attention of Langley Mayor Fred McCarthy.

As mayor, he said the city had no authority to deny a lawful and permitted parade that included the Confederate flag because of First Amendment rights.

The flag is considered an expression of the First Amendment, the right of free speech.

However distasteful some may consider it, people have a right to fly it, just as the recent Whidbey Queer Pride Parade was allowed to wave its rainbow flags through Langley, and first-year fair co-administra-

Two members of the American Legion Riders attached Confederate flags to their motorcycles for the Whidbey Island Fair parade on Saturday. The display provoked ire from several observers. tor Carol Coble said she didn’t want to infringe on that right.

More than just a freedom of speech issue, supporters claim the flag is a symbol of Southern pride and heritage.

McDonald, who himself has family who fought in the Civil War, said some of his members are saddened that they are not allowed to celebrate their ancestors.

The American Legion does not take a stance on the use of the Confederate flag, despite having several tips and facts about the United States flag.

“That was part of American history, and they were American soldiers,” McDonald.

Future fairgoers and parade watchers upset with seeing the Confederate flag fly this year need not be concerned. Coble said she spoke with one person, at

length, who was upset that the flag was included in the parade.

After making a phone call to the American Legion Post 141 officers, she was

told it would not be an issue again, which McDonald confirmed.

“It’s been taken care of … it will never happen again,” Coble said Monday.

MISSING SAILOR CONTINUED FROM A1 tried to coax Jones along as they swam, Wallace said, but lost sight of him.

The Coast Guard boat crew from Station Seattle and crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Sea Lion searched

for six hours. An aircrew aboard a Seahawk helicopter from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station also joined the search, along with responders from the Island County Sheriff’s Office and

The Coast Guard search was called off at 10 p.m. on Saturday.

Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said his office continued searching the water and the shore over the next couple of days, but searchers were unable to find anything.

Scotty Fair of Coupeville enjoys some barbecued pork Saturday. “It tastes like tender pork,” he said.

PIGFEST

CONTINUED FROM A1 backyard barbecue experts.

Despopoulos works as a manager at Oak Harbor Tavern, but barbecue is a personal passion.

“I’ve always loved it,” he said. “I just love sitting around and smelling the smoke.”

What makes good barbecue? Patience, cooking low and slow, and special seasonings.

His rub includes sugar, salt, garlic, onion, black pepper, chili and other ingredients that he keeps secret.

He uses pork butt, which isn’t an anatomical description. The pork shoulder cut picked up that name a few hundred years ago when it was stored in casks and barrels known as “butts.”

Some people like to inject the meat with liquids.

Despopoulos is a purest and sticks with the dry rub. Real barbecue isn’t slathered with syrupy sauces.

“You should be able to taste the meat,” he said.

Rob Kimmons agrees. He and his wife traveled from

Lacey to compete in the pro barbecue competition, which included thousands of dollars in cash prizes.

“It’s just passion,” he said.

“You can take a cut-up piece of meat, take your time with it, add some seasonings and it will come out a wonderful thing.”

Often, barbecue involves beer. Not in the recipe, but in the consumption by the waiting cooks. The meat cooks in smokers all night long, while

the team of barbecuers take turns tending it.

This is the eighth year for Pigfest, which was founded by chef Scott Fraser, owner and chef of Frasers Gourmet Hideaway on Fidalgo Avenue.

The event happens because of donations from the community and sponsors.

In total, $19,000 was raised for charity.

Dances with Smoke of Renton, a frequent winner on the professional barbecue circuit, won the overall team competition, which was sanctioned by the Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association.

Healthy Living Decisions about cataracts and beyond

Facts on fats

Author - Whidbey Eye Center

Robert Jangaard, ND - Jangaard Clinic

Cataracts are a natural change in the lens of the eye that occurs with age. Symptoms related to cataract formation include increasing difficulty with glare, cloudy vision and frequent refractive shifts.

For many years, people have been advised not to eat too much fat.

This resulted in development of fat-free foods and low-fat diets.

What if this fad was causing more harm than good? And, if that’s the case, what makes us fat?

Given the increasing life expectancy a vast majority of patients will need to consider having cataract surgery. With new advances in technology, the decisions with regard to cataracts does not stop with just deciding when, or if, cataract surgery is necessary, but now include choices of which intraocular lens may best help the patient achieve their desired visual outcome.

It’s important to understand that everything we put in our bodies is a very import fuel. Having a balanced diet, daily exercise and low stress, is essential for longevity.

The truth is, fats are essential for health. Fats make up a majority of our brain tissue, insulate of nerves, and are the building blocks to our hormone metabolism.

There are an increasing number of lens choices in the market which offer exciting advancements but often add more complexities to the decision making process.

Summer skin: sunscreen and dry skin

Currently, most lenses would fall in one of three categories. Those that help at one focal distance, those that help with astigmatism correction, and those that attempt to restore some depth of vision that naturally diminishes with age.

Specialists at Skagit Regional Clinics’ dermatology are frequently are asked two questions:

Good fats are typically rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Examples of these foods are flaxseeds, fish oils, chia seeds, walnuts, oysters and grass fed meats.

One of those questions is, “What kind of sunscreen should I use?”

These fats are considered anti-inflammatory and healthy.

Given all these decisions Whidbey Eye Center strives to provide individualized care with a highly skilled ophthalmic team that can help patients through the process.

“Sunscreen of at least 30 SPF with broad spectrum coverage against UVA and UVB rays is recommended,” said specialist Corinne Sayler, PA-C. “Most people forget the importance of reapplying sunscreen every two to three hours as it will break down over time, particularly with water exposure or sweating.”

Bad fats are labeled as trans fats, which are fats that have been synthesized and processed. These fats may raise your bad cholesterol, increase inflammation and cause cardiovascular disease.

Author - Skagit Regional Clinics’ Dermatology

“Sun protective clothing should also be a part of your first line of defense,” she said.

The other question, according to Sayler, is, “What should I do for my dry skin?”

Welcomes DR. MICHAEL J. MEQUIO

Board Certified Ophthalmologist

Dry skin is a common problem spanning all age groups, said Sayler.

Using the correct moisturizer is important. “The best time to apply moisturizer is immediately after bathing to retain water on the skin,” Sayler said. “Coconut oil and cream based products are superior to lotions.”

Trans fats are so unhealthy that many counties around the globe have banned them in foods.

So, next you go out to dinner or shop for groceries remember to try and eat whole foods, avoid pre-packaged items, and stay away from trans fats.

I often tell patients to stay true to their diet 80-90 percent of the time, because no one is perfect.
