Oak Harbor Haggen up for auction By DAN RICHMAN
drichman@whidbeynewsgroup.com
Oak Harbor’s Haggen store is among the 33 “core” locations that the Bellingham-based grocery chain won court approval Friday to try selling as part of its bankruptcy. Though the auction could spell the end of Haggen as a grocery company, it does not necessarily dictate the Oak Harbor store’s closure — with the possible loss of 85-plus jobs — or even the end of the Haggen name on grocery stores, one expert said. Delaware bankruptcy court Judge Kevin Gross set Feb. 5 as the auction date for Haggen’s 33 core stores in Washington and Oregon, including the store on State Highway 20 in Oak Harbor. The sales are part of the Chapter 11 reorganizationSEE HAGGEN, A17

The young Navy man accused of pointing a loaded gun at an Oak Harbor councilwoman agreed to a plea bargain last week that came with no jail time. The Navy, however, is moving forward with an administration separation that could lead to the man’s discharge from the service, according to the prosecutor’s office. Councilwoman Tara Hizon said she is recovering from the harrowing experience and found the process SEE COURT, A16

The 2016 budget “is one of the largest policy documents we have, and I am super-proud of it,” Commissioner Jill Johnson said during Monday’s public hearing. Commissioner Helen Price Johnson later added, “We found common ground as a board and came forward with a really balanced budget for 2016.”

Saul named to Housing Authority The Board of Island County Commissioners Tuesday appointed George Saul to the county’s Housing Authority. Saul was active in creating the eightoccupant Oxford House sober-living home in Oak Harbor, has a can-do attitude and a gentle temperament, the commissioners said. The housing authority, which was responsible for building the Sunny View project in Freeland, seeks to help lowincome households become self-sufficient. It typically meets once a month for two
hours at a time. The Board also appointed James (“Captain”) Caspers to the county’s Planning Commission, a nine-member allvolunteer group. This group makes recommendations to the Board of Island County Commissioners on matters concerning growth and development. It meets twice monthly. The Planning Commission is currently working on a summary of comments made at public meetings discussing rural land use and on the Comprehensive Plan reorganization.

Trevor Estes, urged listeners in his remarks to not forget the sacrifices of those before us and to have Pearl Harbor serve a greater purpose than simply a reminder of something terrible. That greater purpose, he said, is to be prepared and vigilant. Shirley Gilbert of Burlington was there to remember her late husband, Edward Gilbert, a Pearl Harbor survivor. When they attended the 50th anniversary ceremony together in Hawaii she couldn’t help but think about all the young people who wouldn’t go on to live their lives. It’s important America doesn’t live in fear, but to remain vigilant, she said.

Harold Johnson had plans to meet a girl. He was 17 years old, a sailor deployed on the USS Oklahoma in Hawaii. That Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1941, his whites were laid out on his bunk, ready for liberty. It was early. He was shining his shoes. Then an alarm went off. It wasn’t a drill. He was sprinting to his battle station when the first torpedo hit. On the 74th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Harold Johnson remembered that terrible day, and we remember with him. He and Harold Shimer, another local survivor, were honored during a ceremony Monday at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Even with time, the terror and the horror isn’t forgotten. Neither is the sacrifice. The solemn event featured prayers, a parade of the colors, a wreath laying and — perhaps most powerfully — the reading of both men’s stories by two young men. Oak Harbor High School students Jared Hunt and Chase Powell, both 17, are about the age of many of the sailors attacked that day. “He’s 17, we’re 17,” Hunt said. “It’s moving. It’s humbling.” Harold Shimer was 21 that day, aboard the USS Helena. The ship had come to Hawaii to bolster the fleet’s presence. Shimer worked as a storekeeper and he swapped his liberty with a buddy so his friend could go ashore.
He was sleeping when the alarm woke him followed by a violent wrenching of the ship. A torpedo tore a hole in the engine room the size of a railroad freight car. He and two other sailors were nabbed to grab ammo and send it topside. Normally, it took a week to load four magazines. It took the men less than three hours to send up every case of 20mm ammunition. Up top, his fellows were blasting the Japanese with antiaircraft guns, and their fire is credited with saving the USS Pennsylvania and with shooting down the enemy air wing commander. VAQ-129 hosted the commemoration event. The squadron commander,

o r g a n Demouchet is an Oak Harbor entrepreneur with an unusual specialty: she’s a sex coach. The native Californian is quick to say what her one-person company, called ASEC LLC, won’t do: have sex with clients or their partners, offer any type of psychotherapy, bring toys to your home or spend more than a month or two working with a client. What she will do is have deep conversations with women and men about their sexuality, take them shopping for intimacy products and clothes and encourage them to discover or rediscover their libido. “My passion is sex, sensuality and sexuality,” said Demouchet, 30. “I give you tools to help you fix your own problems. It always starts with simple conversation and goes from there.” She has earned a master’s degree in human services and has attended conferences of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality, but she isn’t a licensed therapist — a point she said she makes clear upon meeting each new client. “If there’s post-traumatic stress disorder or domestic violence in someone’s background, that might require therapy, I usually eliminate myself at the very beginning,” she said. But, she said, “let’s say a woman is going through a divorce and isn’t feeling sexually attractive. That’s

Most clients can be helped in three one-hour sessions, costing $115 each, Demouchet said. Sessions are offered in office space in Oak Harbor or Bellingham.

Oak Harbor’s Chamber of Commerce found “a little bold” her former slogan, “Sex is fun.

There’s certainly plenty of business to be had in Oak Harbor, she said. “I’ve found that military wives face a lot of sexual frustration when their men leave on deployment,” she said. Rather than having affairs, she said, “I encourage them to engage in alternative pleasures they can enjoy on their own.” Those could also include

Oak Harbor “is a very conservative community, but I will try and try here until I can’t try anymore,” she said. “I’ll give it at least six months. Then I’ll relocate.” A woman who asked to be identified only as “A”, of Maple Falls, Wash., said she’s received advice of a sexual nature from Morgan. “She boosted my confidence in the outside world and in the bedroom.” “She helped me spice things up with my husband of 18 months, “A” said. “Her offices are really professional.

Trump train leading us down a scary track PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
By KEVEN R. GRAVES
The Trump train has been chugging along for months, spewing idiotic and, sometimes, vitriolic remarks that leave one scratching their head. At first, it seemed his campaign was destined to land in the garbage heap as he inserted his foot in his mouth time and again. But, he has endured, the credibility concerns rolling off his back like he is coated with Teflon. His latest diatribe, in which the Republican presidential hopeful calls for a ban on Muslims entering the United States, has been roundly condemned across the political spectrum. Even former Vice President Dick Cheney has condemned Trump’s suggestion. “I think this whole notion that somehow we can just say no more Muslims, just ban a whole religion, goes against everything we stand for and believe in,” Cheney said on a conservative radio show Monday. That’s Dick Cheney! It all begs the question, “What kind of country do we want to be?” The United States was built on the concept of religious freedom — that government wouldn’t impede a person’s right to worship however they choose. Now, millions of Americans seem to be embracing the notion that religious freedom isn’t acceptable when it’s not a Christian god. It’s a slippery slope that hasn’t played out well in history. Rivers of blood have been shed before over differing religious philosophies, yet our nation has remained steadfast that religious freedom is the very foundation of our free country that we are unwilling to relinquish. Yes, we are different country since the events of Sept. 11, but we said then, and should reiterate now, that changing the way our belief systems and the way we live is essentially a victory handed to the terrorists. Trump defended his proposal on Good Morning America, citing President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He cited three proclamations made by FDR after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor which dramatically limited the rights of Japanese, German and Italian nationals living in the United States. Trump has forgotten that we learned that creating internment camps and limiting the rights of citizens based on their heritage was ill conceived and un-American to its core. Trump has also forgotten another act by FDR, one that has stood the test of time. During his first inauguration speech, Roosevelt proclaimed, “let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself …” Fear cannot be a justification for trampling the freedoms or rights of others because we either don’t like, or we don’t understand, someone else’s religious beliefs. The Trump train needs to be derailed. n Keven Graves is executive and publisher for the Whidbey News Group. Email to him at kgraves@whidbeynewsgroup.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editorial
Superior Court respects public’s right to access Editor, In reference to your editorial of Dec. 5, 2015, about my not allowing photographs of the four murder suspects in the courtroom, please let me explain my reasoning. I am sensitive to both the public’s right of access and the right of the accused to a public trial. Like the reporter, Jessie Stensland, I have never had anyone complain about cameras in the courtroom, and I have always allowed news reporters free access. I have even allowed news reporters to sit in the jury box to get clear photos of the accused. In this case, one of the attorneys for a defendant – which was then followed by the attorneys for all of the defendants – expressed concern that until he/she received discovery, he was not sure that there was an issue
of the identification of the accused. At arraignment, all the judge has before her/him is the probable cause statement and the information charging the defendant. For all anyone knew, the investigation may still be quite active. Discovery was expected to be provided within a few days, and the four murder suspects had other proceedings in court when they could be photographed by the news reporter. If there is an identification issue and witnesses had a chance to see the photographs of the accused in the newspaper, it could compromise the trial, perhaps even require a new trial or at the extreme end, an acquittal. That was my concern: To eliminate the possibility that the news photographs of the accused prior to discovery would compromise the trial, especially since there would be other occasions for the news reporter to photograph the defendants once that issue was cleared up. I requested any input from the news reporter, who replied that she had never been refused the opportunity to photo-

graph a criminal defendant in any court. Upon reflection and review of the bench-bar principles and considerations and your editorial, I have to agree with your editorial. The presumption starts that news reporters are allowed to photograph criminal defendants. The restriction against this must be based on compelling circumstances, specifically identified, that are particular to this case. There were only concerns, no specifics, that the identification of the accused was genuinely in issue. The defendants will be in court again, and I urge the news reporter to request in advance to photograph/ videotape the proceedings so that the assigned judge will have adequate time to rule, having the facts on hand. Island County Superior Court has always respected the right of the press, and, thus, the public’s right of access. Perhaps this new procedure will facilitate that in all instances.

Islam
Our lavish living won’t endure Editor, Recently, one of the our government officials stated that we are at war with the “philosophy of Islamic fundamentalist fascism.” Is the philosophy of Western fundamentalist fascism a better option? (My dictionar y’s definition of fascism aligns with Western corporate states, not the Islamic State. The Islamic State is a self-organizing resistance movement.) Let’s take a look at our backyard. Since 1960, violent crime in the United States increased 560 percent, single mother births went up 419 percent, and divorce rates and the number of children living in single-parent homes both climbed by 300 percent. This is massive social decay. We should ask ourselves what’s gone wrong with the West, where materialism and affluence coincide with corruption, addiction, arrogance, imperial intervention, the pursuit of the frivolous and ecocide. As for the Middle East, most of its problems arise from continued Western intervention in the region (brought to you by ExxonMobil). Should it be surprising that so many Islamic fundamentalists are willing to
fight and die resisting the influence of our deteriorating culture? How does a life of austerity and faithfulness win out over instant gratification and self-indulgence? The materialism that is the face of the West is a challenge to a civilization based on faith, a civilization where praying is still more important than shopping. While the West has been living lavishly for 60 years, consuming with such ferocity that the trajectory of the planet’s biosphere has been forever altered, the rest of the world has become angry and sick of it all. The Islamic State is but a beginning of the kinds of self-organizing that will occur once the latest round of neo-political activism fails. The West is bloated, soft and decadent. This decadence will not last; it never has and never will. Matt Linder Langley
Believing blindly is dangerous Editor, I wonder what would happen if the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims began treating “Christian” Americans the same way a group of very desperate Muslims are currently being treated in response to seeking asylum in the United States — which might very well save their lives. Would it help the world’s major religions to work together promoting tolerance, acceptance and respect? Probably not. Anyone with any sense

of reality and world view knows that Muslims are not the problem — terrorists are. But the anti-terrorist rhetoric voiced in some circles in the U.S. is really nothing more than a very thinly disguised anti-Muslim rhetoric driven by misinformation and stoked in some cases by hate-filled media outlets. Even among the current crop of performers running for the most powerful position in the free world there is a call for registries for Muslims. Registries, really in the United States? Remind anyone of the Jews in Europe in 1939 or the Japanese Americans in America in 1941? I wonder what the 200 million Muslims in Indonesia or the 150 million Muslims in Pakistan think listening to this very blatant anti-Muslim rhetoric. Sign me up? More likely their first reaction would be outrage, their second reaction “if they are going to have registries for Muslims we need to have registries for “Christians.” Any guesses what other responses might be? Some Americans believe what they hear unconditionally, especially when it reinforces their own insecurities about people who don’t look like them, who don’t act like them and don’t pray like them. These insecurities, coupled with their belief that hate filled media outlets actually provide a fair and balanced view of the world, can lead us only into a more dangerous place than currently exists.

Putting focus on impaired driving
GUEST COLUMN
By JOANNE HELLMANN Lights on for Life is a symbolic observance designed to focus attention on the impaired driving issue with people being especially vulnerable during holidays. Just as office parties, family gatherings and friendly get-togethers go hand-inhand with the annual festivities, often alcohol consumption is an integral part of these festivities. That’s why the Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County, the Island County Sheriff’s Office and Island County detachment of the Washington State Patrol are joining forces this year to ask all motorists to participate in the annual “Lights on for Life” day. Usually the third Friday in December, it falls on Dec. 18 this year and kicks off Holiday Lifesavers Weekend to recognize those injured or killed by DUI. Washington State Patrol reported about 150 DUI arrests in the county last year with about 20-30 of those arrests by sheriff’s deputies. While that may not seem like much, keep in mind the average impaired driver has driven under the influence 80 times before first arrest according to the Centers for Disease Control. And
the FBI reports that every day in America people drive impaired over 300,000 times with fewer than 4,000 arrests. That’s just barely over one percent. Those who are caught, the driver’s drug of choice is usually alcohol, but at times includes impairing prescription and over the counter drugs, marijuana, medications administered to the eyes and illegal drugs. “The tragedy is, DUI collisions are 100 percent preventable yet impaired driving remains the No. 1 causing factor in serious injury and fatal crashes. The Washington State Patrol will do everything possible to remove impaired drivers off of our roadways to keep our citizens safe,” said Capt. Scott McCoy, Washington State Patrol District 7 commander. The Designated Driver operates by a very simple concept: One member of a group of two or more pledges to drink only nonalcoholic beverages, and provides safe and sober transportation home for

companions. The agreement should be ironclad and put into use even if friends or relatives have had only one or two drinks. Becoming a Designated Driver is the only way people can be assured that there is always a driver with a 0.00 Blood Alcohol Content; that is, no alcohol contained in the blood of the driver. Even low levels of alcohol have been shown to reduce peripheral vision, reaction time and judgment. We want to send a positive message to our motorists to remind them that while we’re all potential DUI victims, there are steps we can all take to prevent these all-too-preventable tragedies.

OBITUARIES
Parbs
Dennis Parbs
Dennis Leroy (Denny) Parbs, 72 years old and a 45-year resident of Coupeville, died Monday, Nov. 23, 2015 after a very courageous battle with cancer. He died at home with the help of Hospice of Whidbey, family and friends. He was born Dec. 7, 1942 in Kankakee, Ill., to Harvey Parbs and Bertha (Gillespie). He has one brother, Brad Parbs and wife Lyn and one sister, Rita VanArnam and husband Jack. Denny graduated from Roberts/Thawville High School in Roberts, Ill. He attended Skagit Valley College, the FBI and the AtF National Fire Academy. After high school, he trained for and became a cement finisher, which he continued for 10 years before moving to Oak Harbor in July of 1970. He went to work right away for Bob Aus at the Kings Table Restaurant and Bar. Denny was the bartender. While working at the bar, a Kiwanis member found out he was a cement finisher and asked him to pour a ramp to the beach for disabled children. Of course, he was very happy to help. Denny was always generous with his time and skills whenever people would ask him for help. People kept asking for cement work so often that he decided to start his own business, Island Cement Contractors. He had the business until 1980, when he decided he was ready for a change and wanted to work for someone else. He became the Island County building inspector and fire marshall. In 1983, he joined Unified Investigation and Sciences Inc. He was employed as a private fire investigator/territorial manager. He traveled as far as the Arctic Circle receiving a certificate as proof of being “on top of the world.” He loved his job and the people and friends he worked with. He had to retire in 2010 because of his illness. He loved boating, fishing and crabbing with his sons and cousin Michael. He
enjoyed his horses and the many trips into the mountains with friends. His most memorable trip was on his Harley Road King to Sturgis with his son Keith. He enjoyed camping at Skagit River Woods with his wife Carol and friend Greta. Denny always made lifetime friends. He was very generous and kind. He touched many lives while here on Earth. Denny is survived by his loving wife Carol of 45 years; three sons, Patrick Parb of Arlington, Texas, Wade Parbs of Boise, Idaho, and Keith Parbs and wife Renetta of Boise, Idaho, three grandchildren, Whitney Parbs, Dyllin Parbs and Baylie Parbs; brother-in-law Vince Cox and wife Rosie; two great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, Harvey and Bertha Parbs, and sister-in-law Cathie Cox. There will be a celebration of life for Denny from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 16 for family and friends at the Coupeville Recreation Hall, located at 901 NW Alexander Street in Coupeville. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent in Denny’s name to Gifts From the Heart food bank in Coupeville or to the WAIF animal shelter, also in Coupeville.

Edward A. Morrow
Edward A. Morrow passed away on Nov. 17 at his home in Oak Harbor after a long battle with cancer. He was born March 11, 1946, in Anacortes, Wash. to Bill and Louella (Wells) Morrow. Ed grew up in Oak Harbor in simpler times, attended Oak Harbor schools, graduating from Oak Harbor High School with the class of 1964. His childhood was spent fishing at the Coop dock, hanging at city beach, playing little league baseball, skating at the Roller Barn, enjoying the camaraderie of his friends and of course burgers at Kow Korner after baseball practice. Ed had a
life-long love for the game of baseball starting with little league when he was eight years old. He was a third baseman for Oak Harbor High School, played college ball at Skagit Valley College and Western Washington University, and capped his baseball career playing in Europe for the London Rockets for three seasons in a league comprised of former professional and college players. Ed was a league All-Star twice while playing shortstop and hitting 348 in 1967. Ed was a lifelong Baseball card collector and was thrilled when he was featured on his own baseball card while playing with the London Rockets. Ed served his country proudly for four years in the United States Air Force. When Ed returned from the service he went to work for the United States Postal Service in Bellevue, Wash., retiring in 2001 after 33 years, and moved home to Oak Harbor to be close to his family. While retired, Ed enjoyed spending time on the golf course with his son, Jason, brother, Bill and many friends. Ed was an avid bowler averaging in the 200’s and bowled a perfect 300 game in September 2004. Ed could tell you stats about every player in baseball, his passion and love for the game never waining. He was a Seattle Mariners season ticket holder for many years, and was thrilled that his son Jason played little league, high school and college baseball at a high level making numerous all-star teams and had the same love of the game. Ed’s love for his son and pride in the man he has become was a great joy in his life. Ed lived his life with no pretense, he knew who and what he liked. He was a runner and fitness was important to him, he tried to eat healthy and was conscious of everything and how it affected his health. In his last days when asked what he would have done differently, he replied “I would have ate more hamburgers!” Ed was preceded in death by his parents, Louella Morrow in 2009 and Bill K. Morrow, Sr. in 2013. He is survived by his son Jason Morrow and fiancé Angela DiRe of Newcastle, Wash., their daughter and Ed’s first grandchild due to be born in March 2016. He is also survived by his brother Bill and his wife Maggie of Oak Harbor, brother Jim of Oak Harbor, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and his 15 year old cat, Squeaky. At Ed’s request there will be no service.

Finding reflection, quiet with holiday concert By BEN WATANABE

arly sunsets, cool temperatures and the holiday spirit are working together with musicians Sheila Weidendorf and Mathew Habib to create a quiet, contemplative Christmas concert. Coming together for only the second time, the pianist and tenor singer are putting on a winter performance, “’Twas in the Moon of Wintertime” at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 11 at Langley United Methodist Church. Weidendorf, who once studied to become a pastor of the United Methodist Church before finding spiritual pursuits elsewhere, said she and Habib curated a story to reflect the spirit of the season. In so doing, they have also created an opportunity, though not intentionally, for people who enjoy Christmas music but are not Christians or eager to visit a holiday church service to hear the tunes. “It offers an opportunity to experience the heart of a season without limiting to

one particular expression of it,” Weidendorf said. “What we want is just to offer a beautiful experience,” she added. The hour-and-15-minute concert will cover a range of music selected by Habib and Weidendorf. As essentially a classical music concert, patrons should expect pieces from Handel’s “The Messiah,” the Christian folk hymn “I Wonder as I Wander” and the carol “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming.” The title of the performance, “’Twas in the Moon of Wintertime,” is also known as the “Huron Carol” and is a tune taken from the Huron tribe in Canada. Just don’t expect to hear anything about grandma being run over by a reindeer, chestnuts roasting or Frosty. Taking the somber tone of a traditional Christmas concert will be like taking a step outside on a frozen evening. The world seems still and silent, said Weidendorf, recalling a visit to her father’s family in Minnesota during Christmas and walking outside in the snow. “There’s a holy moment to be by yourself,” she said. “It’s the same impulse to kindle the little light that keeps you warm in the dark hours,” she added.

Female WWII vet was honored to be recognized club but was turned away for wearing slacks. “Next we went to the hotel roof to see Casablanca by moonlight -- it was beautiful,” she said.
By DEBRA VAUGHN
dvaughn@whidbeynewsgroup.com
In 1942, the world was engulfed in war and Patricia Ricketts wanted to do her bit. It was a year after Pearl Harbor. Two brothers were already in the Navy and another was training to be a pilot. Young Pat, then doing secretarial work for her famous father in New York, couldn’t sit at home. AT AGE 96, Ricketts died in her Oak Harbor home Nov. 25 close to family, one of the few remaining female World War II veterans in the area. Her friend, and fellow veteran, Eva Brown died in October. At age 23, she enlisted in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps and went to bootcamp and Officer Candidate School. She served four years, including as the commanding officer of a squadron in India responsible for the movement of troops and supplies. She served as a leader in the military long before such a thing was even a thought for most women. Then she went on to accomplish much more in her life: she worked as a secretary for high-ranking officials at Pan American Airways and became a firsthand witness to the Great Space Race to put American astronauts on the moon. She raised four children as a single mother and was an athlete into her 80s. Her daughter, Pat Lamont, said her mother was an upbeat soul who would be hard pressed to say a negative thing about anyone or anything. “She was always smiling, always happy all the time,” said her daughter.

Patricia Ricketts enlisted in the Women’s Auxiliary Corps at age 23 and served during WWII. Patricia Collier on Oct. 16, 1919, the daughter of Robert Collier, an author best known for his bestseller, “The Secret of the Ages.” She was one of six siblings and for life remained close to her identical twin sister, Dorothea. She grew up and attended schools in New York and Sarasota, Fla., eventually attending college at Florida Southern. Her enlistment was big news in her local newspaper, the Daily News in Tarrytown, N.Y. In an Aug. 17, 1942 article, the reporter pointed out that she “is well known to Daily News readers as a tennis champion.” She and her twin sister won the Florida State Women’s Doubles Title. The story noted she was working as her father’s private secretary in his New York office. “I was anxious to do my part in the war effort and felt that this was the way I could do it,” she told the newspaper.
ball and basketball teams and when the base commanding officer found out she played tennis, he frequently pulled her off work early to play with him and other officers. “Our days were busy with inspections, orientations, pulling duty officer duty, writing reports, and generally overseeing the (enlisted women’s) activities,” she said. “There were always good movies at the base theater, plus the officer’s club always had something going on, so we were never bored.” She gave two brides away at the base chapel, women who chose to marry before their husbands left for war. A friend in Washington, D.C., called and asked her to join her overseas in India, and Ricketts was eager to see the world. She took a long flight on a C-54 with metal bucket seats so uncomfortable she scrunched up on the floor and slept. One stopover before her duty station was Casablanca. She tried to go dancing at the officer’s
AT ANOTHER stop, in Cairo, Ricketts took a trip on a camel to see the pyramids and the sphinx. Finally, she reached her base in Karachi, India. The base was a jumping off point for air flights, and it was her responsibility to manage troops and supplies. “Our base was several miles from town and we were not allowed to go into town without an escort,” she said. “We were also instructed never to eat anything from any of the local establishments.” The days flew by, a mix of military duties and exploration of the area. She sailed, camped, hunted and fished. It’s here that she met her first husband and the father of her children, Harvey Miller Jr., a fellow officer on base. He asked to marry her on the back of a camel. On August 14, 1945, Japan surrendered. In Karachi, everyone celebrated with a parade, a baseball game, donuts and coffee, and a beer ration of eight cans. “Everyone was so happy,” she said. AS A child, Pat Lamont doesn’t remember her mother talking about her service. “I asked her why she never told me,” Lamont said. “She said, ‘Well, it was a short part of my life, and I didn’t think it was something you’d be interested in.’” Ricketts became a single
mother in her 40s and set about raising four children alone while working full-time as a secretary for executives at Pan American Airways. Ricketts excelled at her PanAm job, Lamont remembered, but didn’t particularly care for housekeeping or cooking. She bought her kids a pool table to keep them busy and a ski boat. She continued to play competitive tennis, winning major tournaments into her 60s. In 1988 she won her age division of the Pan Am World Tennis Championships in singles. During this time, she also met and married John Ricketts. He lived next door, and while his wife was dying of cancer, Ricketts would come over to help. They shared a love of golf and tennis and spent 20 years together traveling the world before he died. RICKETTS MOVED to Oak Harbor in 1990 to be closer to Pat Lamont and her family. In recent years, she lived in a house next to her daughter. She was part of a small group of World War II women veterans who met at the Oak Harbor Senior Center. In her final years, she remained mentally sharp as a tack. She devoured a mystery novel just about everyday and loved watching sports, especially the Seattle Seahawks. She supported WAIF financially and adopted a rescue Doberman, Mia, a sweetheart of a pooch who never-

THE FAMILY arranged hospice care and Ricketts came home. She remained alert and family stayed by her side. So, too, did her dog, Mia. The day before Thanksgiving, Ricketts died in her sleep. In later years, Ricketts seemed surprised anyone even remembered that women served in the military during World War II. On Memorial Day, the family would take her to the parade in Coupeville and the picnic afterward in the park. Lamont would go to get her mom a hot dog and return to find a line of young veterans who wanted to chat and shake her hand. “She just thought it was an honor to be recognized,” said her daughter.

theless looked lethal enough to keep ne’er-do-wells away from her rural home. On Oct. 16, Ricketts celebrated her 96th birthday with a big party at a restaurant in Anacortes. Four days later, Pat Lamont got a call from her mother. “She said, ‘I feel really awful, could you come over here,’” Lamont said. Her mother could barely breathe. She was rushed to Whidbey General Hospital, where doctors discovered she’d suffered a heart attack and may also have had pneumonia. A few days later she seemed to be recovering but she suffered another heart attack.

Oak Harbor girls bounce back to quiet Storm By JIM WALLER
jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com
Using the momentum built from a strong showing in a 44-36 loss at Shorecrest Friday, the Oak Harbor High School girls basketball team struck down visiting Squalicum 48-40 Monday. The Wildcats outscored Squalicum 36-18 in the middle quarters to pick up their second win in three games. The Storm took an early lead, 10-3, then the Wildcats went on a 15-2 run that bridged the first and second quarters to go ahead 18-12. Deja Bunch scored the first and last buckets and Julie Jansen scored twice during the surge to give Oak Harbor a lead it wouldn’t relinquish. The Wildcats led 24-18 at the half. A big 21-point third quarter buried Squalicum. Bryn Langrock hit three-pointers at the beginning, middle and end of the quarter and Janae Payne connected on two hoops to help Oak Harbor take a 42-23 lead going into the fourth period. Bunch opened the fourth quarter with two free throws, giving the Wildcats a 21-point lead, then Squalicum fought back into the game with a 12-1 run. The Storm (1-4) took advantage of Oak Harbor

turnovers and poor shooting to slice the gap to seven, 47-40, with 1:31 left to play but couldn’t get any closer. Oak Harbor coach Jon Atkins said his team reached several pre-game goals. The Wildcats wanted to start both halves quickly, and did so after the break with a 10-1 spurt. They also wanted to limit Squalicum, a good offensive rebounding team, to 15 offensive boards, and did so, allowing 14. Oak Harbor’s defense forced the Storm to shoot only 22 percent (14-63) while the Wildcats shot 37 percent (17-46). The Wildcats, however, committed 18 turnovers to Squalicum’s seven. Langrock led Oak Harbor with 12 points, Rashanna Graham had nine, Jansen seven, Bunch six, Payne six, Matti Miesle four and AnnaBelle Whitefoot four. Oak Harbor outrebounded the Storm 36-28. Payne snared 10, Jansen eight and Whitefoot seven. Whitefoot also had four assists. One comeback wasn’t enough for the Oak Harbor in the Shorecrest game. The Scots started each half quickly, but Oak Harbor could only match the first spurt and was unable to over-

Oak Harbor swimmers drop season opener Wolves defeat BC, Mount Vernon spoiled the sealose to Mount Baker son opener for the Oak Harbor swimming team, beating the Wildcats 104-66 at John Vanderzicht Pool Monday. The Bulldogs won seven of the 11 events. In the four Oak Harbor wins, Joe Gorman took part in three. He won the 200 (2:17.44) and 500 (4:55.32) freestyles, and joined Eric Jensen, Cole McClasin and Logan Clark to take the 200 freestyle relay (1:57.36). Clark collected the other Wildcat win in the 100 butterfly (1:09.72). “For only being half their size in team numbers, I was pleased,” coach Erin Bull said. “Each team member had to compete in four events in order to fill up empty slots. They showed great endurance while dropping time from our time trials early in the season.” Oak Harbor travels to the
First the Coupeville boys basketball team picked up the pressure, then it picked up a win, defeating host Bellevue Christian 53-50 Saturday, Dec. 5. That win, however, was followed by an 81-59 loss to visiting Mount Baker Monday. Down by as many as 10 in the first half at BC, the Wolves went to a full court press midway through the second quarter, according to coach Anthony Smith. That upped the tempo to a speed more to the Wolves’ liking and Coupeville raced back into the game. Coupeville’s quick guards, Risen Johnson and Wiley Hesselgrave, combined for 14 points in the third quarter and 13 in the fourth to lead the comeback. Johnson finished with 17 points, nine steals and five assists, while
come Shorecrest’s strong third quarter. Shorecrest zipped to a 12-3 lead, then Oak Harbor went on a 12-2 to take a 17-14 lead. The Scots knotted the game at 20 at the half, then outscored Oak Harbor 12-6 in the third quarter to take control. “We played really well,” Atkins said. “We were aggressive, getting them into early foul trouble.” However, Atkins noted, his team struggled at the foul line and with turnovers. Oak Harbor connected on only seven of 22 fouls shots and finished with 23 turnovers. Shorecrest was 10-for-18 at the line and had 16 turnovers. “We are just starting to get the feeling of close games,” Atkins said, “and we will work out the turnovers and understand how to make foul shots in close games as we play more of them.” Langrock paced Oak Harbor with 14 points. Graham added seven, Bunch five, Jansen five, Whitefoot four and Payne one. Jansen also had seven rebounds and three blocks, Payne added three assists and Bunch had three steals.
Hesselgrave had 16 points. Jordan Ford chipped in with five points and 11 rebounds. A big start, a big finish and a big player helped Mount Baker roll by the Wolves. The Mountaineers, behind 6’10” Timothy Soares’ 21 points, jumped to a 20-1 lead and outscored the Wolves 23-13 in the final period to pull out the win. At times, it was more of a freethrow shooting contest than a basketball game. Fifty-eight fouls were called, 31 on Mount Baker. The teams combined to hoist up 83 foul shots. Coupeville was 30-for-47; the Mountaineers sank 20 of 36. Johnson topped the Wolves with 17 points, and Ford, hitting nine free throws, finished with 13. Hesselgrave, sitting much of the first half in foul trouble, scored 12 points, all after the break. Ryan Griggs had eight points, DeAndre Mitchell four, Gabe Wynn two, Jared Helmstadter two and Desmond Bell two.

his club handled Shorecrest’s pressure, showing vast improvement from Tuesday’s loss to Edmonds-Woodway. “However, we still need to be stronger with the ball,” he added. Weston lauded the solid play of Preston Rankin and Nelson. Against Burlington (2-1), a last-second shot to tie was off line, finishing a game where the Wildcats were off kilter all night, according to Weston. “It was a real off game for us,” Weston said. “Shots didn’t fall, we had a lot of players in foul trouble, our energy was low and we didn’t execute.” Harris finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds. McKinney “did a great job coming off the bench” and giving Oak Harbor “a spark,” Weston said, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds and three steals. Jackson played “his best game,” according to Weston, getting five points and four boards while playing “tough defense.” Cote and Nelson had four points each, and Rankin and Erskine two apiece.

Police investigator offers tips for parents, teens to safely navigate web By RON NEWBERRY
rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com
He likens it to the Wild West. As an open source intelligence investigator for the Victoria, B.C., police department, Darren Laur has seen teenagers enter a new cyber world of impersonal, interpersonal digital communications over the past 10 years. And like the Wild West, he has seen reckless behavior, a disregard for rules and disturbing consequences. Laur crossed the border last week and landed in Oak Harbor, where he gave lengthy presentations to high school and middle school students and their parents about internet and social media safety. Reaching out to teenagers in North America and educating them about the dark side of the internet has been both a professional and personal crusade. He teared up when finishing a two-hour talk to parents at Oak Harbor High School last Wednesday night when he referred to the 108 students in trouble who had contacted him during his six years of delivering his program. Most were victims of cyber bullying or social media extortion and didn’t know where else to turn. “It’s a passion and 108,” Laur said about the two main reasons he and his wife started a business called Personal Protection Systems, which includes the program about internet and social media safety. “Those are 108 kids who reached out to us for help because of suicidal thoughts or self harm because of sexting (texting inappropriate photos) or bullying gone wrong issues. And after they hear me speak, they trust me. Because I share with them that at grade 10, I considered taking my life as a result of bullying and that it gets better. Look at me, right? I’m the poster boy for
it gets better. I have a wife. I have a son. I’m a staff sergeant. We have a company. It gets better.” Laur emphasizes that although the internet can be a scary place, most kids are using the technology in productive and ways, doing “really cool stuff.” Students are able to capitalize monetarily in creative ways, talk to other kids from around the world and feel safer with mobile devices in case of emergencies. However, during his 29 years with the Victoria police force, Laur has seen a rapidly rising rate of internet and social media transgressions and too many teens emotionally ill-equipped to cope with being victims. Laur said that the biggest concern today is no longer about adult strangers communicating with and preying upon youth. The most common problems revolve around students harrassing and threatening other students and his concerns are centered around the victims’ psychological and emotional safety. One of his biggest warnings he gave to students and parents in Oak Harbor was the potential dire consequences of inappropriate photos and messages that some teens are posting on their social media networks. Laur said it’s the norm now for colleges and universities and prospective employers to look at an applicant’s social media pages, or what he calls their “digital dossier,” to help them make choices. “You think any of this is private?” Laur said to the parent group before breaking into a sinister laugh. “No matter what social network you’re using, no matter what app you’re using, no matter what your privacy settings, everything you do online is public, searchable, permanent, exploitable and for sale. “There is no such thing as privacy. Privacy is a fal-

Sierra Guy, an eighth grader at Oak Harbor Middle School, recently received a cell phone from her parents. ‘She’s very responsible,’ said her mom Adrienne Guy. ‘That was a deciding factor for my husband and I to make the decision.’
Darren Laur, an officer with the Victoria, B.C., Police Department, preaches internet safety to parents at Oak Harbor High School last week. He’s traveled to more than 300 schools. lacy. And the sooner our kids understand this important rule, the safer we will all be.” Steve King, assistant superintendent with Oak Harbor Public Schools, invited Laur and his wife to come to Oak Harbor based on his experiences with them two years ago when he was a principal at Mount Baker High School. A student there had reached out to Laur for help and he relayed that to King, who was able to get help to the teen. King said that about 80 to 90 percent of the behavioral issues at Oak Harbor High School are connected to some sort of social media or technology issue. He said that number is about 50 percent at the middle schools. King found Laur’s twohour presentation to be worth the investment because it provides knowl-
edge that empowers kids to make good choices. “We really need to make kids part of the solution,” King said. Laur provided enough warnings, vernacular and tips to make a parent’s mind spin. He spoke about students’ dependency on their digital devices, calling mobile devices such as smart phones the clear winner over desktop computers and laptops when it comes to accessing social networks. He said he was concerned about how such devices are depriving students of sleep and potentially endangering their health and wellness, claiming beeps and buzzes that signal a new message interrupt sleep patterns and storing cell phones under pillows exposes kids to electromagnetic radio frequencies. He recommends parents
not allowing kids to have their digital devices in their bedrooms late at night and has a stock answer for parents when teens say they need the device to wake them up. “Buy them an alarm clock,” Laur said. “We need to be a kid’s best parent and not their best friend.” Laur recommended ways for parents to monitor and control their teen’s internet use, suggesting monitoring software that will give a parent a report about what their child is accessing. He suggests parents not be secretive about this but to make their teens fully aware that they need to verify that they are making good decisions when it comes to what he calls their “digital citizenship.” He offered an endless stream of tips, tools and clues to help parents try to gain their footing on what for most of them is a foreign landscape in a world daunting and unfamiliar. He called today’s teens “Generation Z, the first generation that is fully integrated in the online and offline world. They don’t see it as two separate worlds,” Laur added. “It’s one world. Therefore, we need to be a little more involved finding a balance with our kids so they’re not spending as much time online and doing other things.” Teens in the U.S. spend on
average about five hours a day on the internet and send about 126 text messages a day, Laur said. Laur offered four steps for parents that emphasized supervision, opening up communication with their kids about technology, setting up boundaries for use and choosing certain software and making settings on computers for better protection. “Have a digital dinner once a week,” Laur said. “Every Thursday night, talk about everything digital. Tell them, ‘I read about a new app everyone’s using now called Snapchat. What is it? Why is it so popular?’ You’ll be amazed at what you learn from them giving them that opportunity.” Opening up communication with teens is the key, he said, and giving them the chance to prove they’re responsible enough to navigate the cyber world without frequent supervision. When they show that, reward them by lightening the restrictions, he said. Laur said when trouble arises most from internet use, the most common scenario he sees involves teens having unsupervised access to the internet in their bedrooms, particularly at night. He said activity on social networks is alarmingly busy from 10 p.m. until 3 a.m., making it no wonder some SEE WEB SAFETY, A15

teens are lacking sleep. Getting the devices out of their bedroom late at night is an important first step. Laur outlined many of the dark uses of the internet from predators “creeping” into teens’ social networks to gain personal information that is often too freely posted. He said criminal minds try to trick users by impersonating law enforcement through a popup message that claims they caught them downloading something illegally. To get out of trouble, the user is prompted to provide a credit card number. But when they do that, their computer freezes, leaving the user paralyzed, and they are told they need to pay money to unlock it. Laur said there has been

Once you do it, they’ll go after you again and again and again.” Laur also warned of spying software used by criminals known as RATs, short for Remote Administration Tool. Using this software, strangers can hack into an unsuspecting person’s computer, gain control of the webcam and watch and record everything they see a user do, Laur said. They can even disable the green LED light so a user will have no idea they’re being recorded. Laur suggests placing tape over the camera on desktops

and laptops as a safeguard. RATs can be stumbled upon by people who fall into a trap by clicking on to an intriguing video or link on their social media sites. Software can be installed on computers to protect from RATs and ransomware, Laur said. “I knew it could be done but I didn’t know how,” said Carolyn Krider, whose daughter is an 11th grader at Oak Harbor High School. The area that is most disturbing to Laur is how teens are targeting others through cyber bullying or what he calls “digital peer aggression.” Social networks allows gossip to travel quickly and be widespread, placing heavy pressure on teens who are not fully emotionally developed. “I think it’s a social experiment,” said Nancy Diamond, office assistant at Oak Harbor Middle School. “They (stu-
dents) aren’t ready for or are able to handle the pressures that come with this.” Laur spoke of examples where teen relationships have ended and, out of spite, inappropriate photos have been shared with others, and ultimately, for the world to see on the web. “I hate calling it bullying,” Laur said. “We call it assault, a hate crime or intimidation. It is violence. It’s not funny and it’s causing people in my country and your country to consider self harm or suicide as an option.” Laur pointed to Amanda Todd, a Vancouver, B.C.-area teen who took her life in 2012 after she was the target of online harrassment. Todd was a victim of online extortion in which a photo that she regreted having taken was circulated widely on the web after she failed to comply with a stranger’s requests in front of a webcam.
Laur said one out of every four secondary school students in the U.S. is targeted by some form of digital peer aggression. His presentation before students, parents and eductators opened some eyes. His messages emphasized how everything online can become permanent and publicly viewed, including Snapchat images that are supposed to dissolve in a matter of seconds. An app can allow one who receives such a message to copy it immediately before it disappears. “I didn’t think it would be very interesting,” said Sierra Guy, an eighth grader who attended the presentation at Oak Harbor Middle School. “It really was.” “I think it shows how critical is it to make sure you have open communication with your children about internet safety and really looking at our own security online and

our children’s security online and putting some of these measures in place,” said Kathleen Pendleton, whose son attends middle school. About 100 people showed up for the parent presentation, which was a pleasant surprise to Laur. He said he’s gone to a school of 1,600 where three parents showed up. “Parents are the keystone. They really are,” Laur said. “The schools have a part to play. They do. But the parents have a bigger part to play because if the schools are teaching something and the parents aren’t compounding the message, it’s no wonder that kids are doing something they shouldn’t be doing.” n To learn more about Laur’s internet and social media safety program, go to www.personalprotectionsystems.ca

COURT CONTINUED FROM A1 of bringing the man to justice both educational and frustrating from a victim’s perspective. She wasn’t able to attend the sentencing hearing, but got a copy of the court transcript afterward. Due to a miscommunication, she said, Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill did not fully hear her thoughts. “As it turns out, my perspective, accurately portrayed, actually would have made an
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
impact on Judge Churchill’s sentencing of Mr. Duffus,” she said. “I appreciate her for saying that, and I wish — more than I can possibly say — that I had been present and able to speak up at that time.” Shan Duffus, 21, a petty officer third class at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, pleaded guilty to unlawful display of a weapon, a gross misdemeanor, in Superior Court. He was originally charged with second-degree assault, a felony offense. The incident occurred outside of Hizon’s home at about 1 a.m. on Sept. 19. Hizon said
she walked out the door and Duffus was standing about eight feet away in the dark, pointing a handgun at her face. “I thought I was going to die. I really did,” she said, adding she remembers thinking “this is how it ends.” Though fearing she would be shot in the back, she ran back inside, locked the door, armed herself and called 911. The police soon found Duffus stumbling around drunk in the roadway blocks away and arrested him. The frightening incident has remained with her.
“I didn’t sleep for a few days,” she said, “and it was a few weeks before I could reach for the handle of my front door without my heart beating faster.” Hizon said Island County Chief Criminal Prosecutor Eric Ohme was professional and compassionate, but that there was “a massive miscommunication” about her wishes. Tuesday, Churchill reluctantly agreed with the plea bargain. She sentenced Duffus to 364 days with 364 days suspended. That means he won’t have to serve the time unless he’s found to
Wednesday, December 9, 2015 • Whidbey News-Times
have violated the conditions of his two-year term of supervision; he can’t own a gun during that period. He also must forfeit his gun to the police and lost his concealed pistol license for a year. Ohme said he negotiated the plea bargain because of the difficulty of proving the case at trial due to the uncertainty surrounding Hizon’s identification of Duffus. Hizon told the 911 operator that she was “50 percent sure” the suspect was white, Ohme said. The officer drove him to Hizon and asked her to identify him, and she said she was “75 percent sure” it was him, he said. Ohme said the “show-up identification” in which the police present a single suspect to a witness to identify “is not favored in the law.” He said it was likely a judge would suppress the identification, leaving him nothing to prove the case. Ohme also contacted the Navy. Base officials declined to prosecute him because of the identification issue but said they were moving forward with separation. Hizon said her main concern about the outcome was that Duffus didn’t plead guilty to a felony charge, which would have barred him from owning a gun. She said the plea was worked out without her agreement. She would have preferred, she said, to see the case
BUDGET CONTINUED FROM A1 remedied some salary inequities, funded improvements to the jail and the sheriff’s department and continued support for the 4-H program, which Johnson called “essential for teaching youth about accountability and leadership.” The county’s financial reserves “are stable and strong,” she added.
through to the end. Hizon said Ohme explained his reasoning to her and she understood the legal limitations. She is pleased Duffus’ access to guns is restricted. She said she thought the outcome was out of her hands, but learned, from reading the transcript, that it wasn’t entirely true. In court, Churchill said she wouldn’t have followed the recommendation “if the victim had not requested it.” “Reading those words broke my heart,” Hizon said. Ohme said he was surprised by her concerns and felt he conveyed her feelings accurately in court. “It is unfortunate that there was a miscommunication here,” he said. “ I spoke to Ms. Hizon on the telephone the week prior to the guilty plea and did my best to explain the terms of the agreement in detail. It was my understanding from that phone call that Ms. Hizon understood the provisions and was in agreement with them.” He said he told her that it was an excellent outcome given the problems with the case. As for Duffus, Hizon hopes he understands the seriousness of what he did. She points out that, at some point that night, he made a decision to drink while armed with a loaded gun. “Maybe he’ll do some growing up in the next couple of years,” she said. The commissioners voted to collect an additional $20,107 over this year’s take, spread among the entire base of Island County property taxpayers, in its current-expense levy. That represents a 0.25 percent increase over this year’s current-expense tax levy. They agreed to collect an additional $83,948 for its road levy and an additional $6,916 toward the Conservation Futures Fund. Each of those numbers represents a one percent increase over this year’s tax.

HAGGEN CONTINUED FROM A1
oriented bankruptcy Haggen filed Sept. 8. Haggen said Friday that the stores are profitable and should attract buyers. “The Haggen group of core stores is well run with great staff and is located in great communities,” Haggen said in a prepared statement. “As a group they are profitable. Because of this, we know there will be strong interest in our stores as a group. Our stores are staffed and stocked to high standards.” It may be premature to mourn the Oak Harbor Haggen store’s passing. A buyer could purchase the core Haggen stores with the intention of running them under the same name, said John Rizzardi, a Seattle bankruptcy attorney familiar with the case. “The name ‘Haggen’ could become the buyer’s intellectual property,” he said. Another possibility is that Comvest West, a West Palm Beach, Fla., private investment firm that became the company’s major stakeholder in 2011, could win the auction and keep the stores alive. “It is possible that we would bid, yes, though we have not yet decided what to do,” said Louis Colosimo, a Comvest West managing director. “We’re smack in the middle of the thing right now.” “I can’t say yet what we will or won’t do.” Sale of the core stores does most likely spell the end of Haggen as a company, Rizzardi said. “In terms of the company as we
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
know it, one that operates grocery stores, it will probably go away.” Oak Harbor store manager Sherrie Sadighi declined Monday to comment on news of the sell-off decision or to say how many people the store employs in total. About 85 non-management employees there are represented the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, said union spokesperson Tom Geiger. “Obviously we don’t know what the outcome of the auction will be, but we’re telling employees we’re working hard to get the stores bought by a good union grocer so that jobs continue,” Geiger said. “By and large, that has worked out for the non-core stores.” A top Oak Harbor official reacted calmly to news of Haggen’s sell-off plans. “If Haggen can’t find a good home in Oak Harbor, something tells me there’s another business that can,” said outgoing Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley. “If it ends up closing its doors, obviously we’ll be doing everything we can to attract another business to town.” Shoppers were a little more agitated by news of the possible closure. “Compared to Safeway, this is less crowded, it has the brands I like and it’s easier to park,” said Monique Kirschten of Oak Harbor. “I would be very unhappy if it went away.” Judy Craft, also of Oak Harbor, said Haggen “is clean, well-organized and open-feeling. I’ve done comparison shopping with Safeway, and some prices are higher, but I don’t mind. I hope they don’t close it.” Haggen’s original intention in filing for
Page A17
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Sept. 8 was to reorganize and build future profitability around its core stores. It said then that it would shut down only 27 stores in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington within the following two months. Of Haggen’s 35 stores in Washington, at that time only one — in Spanaway, near Tacoma — was set to close. Friday’s development indicates a complete corporate retrenchment, agreed Rizzardi, the bankruptcy expert. The Haggen Oak Harbor store has a complex back story. Haggen bought the former Oak Harbor Safeway store in December 2014. Safeway sold it as part of a 168-store divestment of Safeway and Albertson stores. The divestment was required so that Albertson could merge with Safeway, a deal completed on Jan. 30. When Haggen bought the Oak Harbor Safeway store, virtually all Safeway employees became Haggen employees, said Sadighi, the Oak Harbor Haggen store’s manager, in an earlier interview. Safeway in the summer of 2015 replaced the Albertsons store on Southwest Erie Street. All Albertson employees were given a chance to become Safeway employees. Haggen got itself into these dire straits by rapidly buying up Albertson and Safeway stores. It expanded from 18 stores with 16 pharmacies to 164 stores with 106 pharmacies, and from 2,200 employees to more than 10,000, it said in December 2014. Haggen is marketing the 33 core stores as

Bids for the stores are due Jan. 29. Following the Feb. 5 auction, the winner will be notified by Feb. 8, and a final hearing on the sale is set for Feb. 17.
