Inmate mix challenging for county jail

By JESSIE STENSLAND jessie@whidbeynewsgroup.com

With a potent mix of high-profile suspects, gang members, ongoing policy reforms and new staff members, corrections deputies at the Island County jail have a lot on their plates these days.

There are currently five suspects in homicide cases residing in the jail and another is in the juvenile detention facility.

Couple airlifted after Saturday crash

By MEGAN HANSEN Photo by Sylvia Engle Arnold

A Greenbank couple was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center on Saturday after they were involved in a car accident in Coupeville.

mhansen@whidbeynewsgroup.com

A husband and wife injured Saturday morning in Coupeville when their motorcycle was struck by another vehicle are still in serious condition.

Both Gary Hoyt, 66, and Linda Hoyt, 65, were airlifted and are in the intensive care unit at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, hospital

spokeswoman Susan Gregg said Monday.

The pair were airlifted after their motorcycle was struck on State Highway 20 near Broadway Street in Coupeville and pushed into a third vehicle, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The accident occurred around 8:43 a.m.

A 16-year-old Oak Harbor girl was driving a 1998 Pontiac Bonneville south on Highway 20 and attempted to turn left onto Broadway, striking the northbound motorcycle on which the Hoyts were riding, according to a State Patrol report.

The Hoyts’ motorcycle was

pushed by the Bonneville into a 1993 Mercury Sable being driven by Billy J. Regan, 73, of Coupeville. The Mercury was stopped at Broadway.

The girl driving the Bonneville was not injured.

She was later cited for failing to yield a right of way, according to Trooper Mark Francis.

The Pontiac Bonneville and the Hoyts’ motorcycle — a 2012 Can Am Spyder — were totaled and impounded.

Both vehicles were taken to Christianson’s Towing, according to the state patrol.

Regan was not injured and his car was driven away from the accident scene.

Camano suspect arrested in stabbing

Oak Harbor man accused of murder

By JESSIE STENSLAND jessie@whidbeynewsgroup.com

By JESSIE STENSLAND jessie@whidbeynewsgroup.com

A 19-year-old man is accused of stabbing another man to death during an argument at a Camano Island home Feb. 20, according to court documents.

The suspect, Gabriel Birch, appeared in Island County Superior Court Monday. Judge Vickie Churchill found that probable cause existed to hold Birch on suspicion of firstdegree manslaughter.

Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme noted that Birch does not have a criminal record but presents a risk of flight since he has no residence and no job to return to. Plus, Ohme said, there’s a risk that Birch will commit another violent act.

Churchill agreed and set his bail at $150,000.

Camano Island resident Gabriel Birch appears in court Monday with attorney Steve McKay. called 911 in the morning of Feb. 20 to report that Birch had stabbed and killed her son, 24-year-old Thomas McKnight, during an altercation.

Birch had been dating the woman’s daughter and was living at the house. A 13-year-old child also lived there; McKnight had been staying in recent weeks.

Birch allegedly told a deputy that he was sorry and did not mean to kill McKnight, according to a report by

Detective Chris Peabody with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Birch said the residents started arguing after the homeowner threatened to kick Birch out and have McKnight arrested for an unspecified reason.

McKnight grabbed Birch’s ex-girlfriend by the face. Birch grabbed a knife and yelled at McKnight to leave her alone.

McKnight grabbed Birch by the front of the neck and

had his hand back like he was going to punch him; Birch’s ex-girlfriend was trying to pull McKnight back, according to the police report.

Birch said he stabbed McKnight in the chest three times as they both started falling to the ground, Peabody wrote.

McKnight got up, walked out of the bedroom and collapsed in the hallway, where he died.

An Oak Harbor man is being held on $1 million bail in a Seattle jail for allegedly stabbing his girlfriend’s son to death last Thursday, according to Auburn police and jail records.

Fritz Ratcliffe, 26, was booked into jail on suspicion of second-degree murder.

The 21-year-old victim tried to break up a heated dispute between his mother and Ratcliffe at an Auburn apartment.

Ratcliffe allegedly pulled out a knife and fatally stabbed him, according to police.

Ratcliffe fled the scene but was located overnight in Anacortes by Swinomish police.

The Swinomish police were advised that Ratcliffe may be on his way to Oak Harbor from Auburn that night. An officer positioned himself on Highway 20 near the twin bridges and saw a vehicle matching the

description of the suspect vehicle come over the bridges at a high rate of speed, the Swinomish Police Department reported. The officer caught up with the vehicle and confirmed it was the right license plate.

Swinomish officers coordinated with Anacortes police officers and conducted a stop on the suspect at the Country Corner gas station on the highway. He was taken into custody without incident, the Swinomish police reported.

Ratcliffe has also had run-ins with the law in Oak Harbor, according to court records.

In 2008, prosecutors charged him in Island County Superior Court with third-degree assault, a domestic violence charge.

He was accused of smothering, choking and striking his girlfriend during an argument over his alleged “hogging” of the bed, according to court records.

The charge in that case was later dismissed.

Click helping local students to make music

By DAN RICHMAN

drichman@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Oak Harbor’s Click Music is more than just a store for musical instruments or accessories. It’s a place to study, jam, perform, hang out and generally engage in the joy of making music.

That’s been the vision of founder and co-owner Avi Rostov for the store’s eight years, and it’s one the community appreciates.

“Click Music and Avi have been encouraging to my son and to other students,” said Oak Harbor’s Clancy Lien, whose 14-year-old son, Spencer, has studied guitar, clarinet, French horn and piano at Click.

“She’s not just a store owner but a real music advocate — an asset to the community.”

Click occupies two huge, connected spaces, one a former gym and the other a former paint store, off Northeast Seventh Avenue.

Rostov’s son and business partner, Herschel, led the effort to carve up the spaces into smaller areas. A third partner, Judy Cejas, runs dayto-day operations.

Now the store boasts small lesson rooms and larger rooms for bigger instruments, duets and trios.

Fourteen teachers are on staff to offer lessons, and an accompanist is available for practice and performances. There are separate repair rooms for strings and for band instruments (brass and woodwinds). A huge, high-ceilinged space easily houses the regular program of recitals, performances, jams and master lessons.

In a separate but connected building is the retail space, with rack upon rack of accessories for all instruments — “everything professional musicians need to have,” Rostov said. A large variety of drum sets, both acoustic and electronic, form a semi-circle on

Avi Rostov, founder and co-owner of Oak Harbor’s Click Music, gives new meaning to the phrase “wall of sound” as she stands before a large display of ukuleles. The instrument, a Hawaiian adaptation of a Portuguese guitar, is proving unexpectedly popular with all ages, Rostov said. the floor. Guitars hang on the wall, and one of the store’s latest additions, recording equipment and MIDI interfaces, occupies several glass cases.

A single rack holds the store’s printed music — building up the assortment is next on the store’s to-do list.

And then there are the ukuleles.

Many, many ukuleles.

“They appeal to all ages,” said Rostov, 71. “Young kids can get their hands around the necks. For high school kids it’s a totally social thing -- they carry them over their shoulders and play them on the bus and in the cafeteria. Former guitar players who have arthritis can man-

age ukuleles, and the elderly who want to get into music to stay cognitively active like them because they’re not too heavy.”

Click doesn’t carry high-priced guitars like Fender and Gibson.

“We get a lot of kids dying to play, so we help them find something that’s not so expensive,” she said.

The store got its start when Rostov — a long-ago transplant from Baltimore — was living in Clinton, repairing band instruments from her home and coming north occasionally to give in-home lessons. Parents of students urged her to open a store in Oak Harbor, even offering her money up front to

help her do so.

Numerous community members helped renovate the space.

Former Island County Commissioner Angie Homola, an architect, did all the blueprints at no charge, Rostov said.

Volunteers remain a vital part of the effort, last summer moving all the stock and then buffing and waxing the floor.

The store earns much of its revenue from renting and repairing band instruments used by Oak Harbor students.

It offers two free lessons with every rental, helping to ensure students are comfortable with their instruments and perhaps starting

them on a course of study.

Rostov said Oak Harbor is “extremely fortunate” to have Lance Gibbon as school superintendent.

“He has a bachelor’s in music education, a piano major, and he understands the value of music,” she said. “It’s not just for kids making a career out of music. It’s how music affects their academics, increases their social skills, improves their cooperation and their intuition.”

Gibbon brought in a fifth-grade band program; formerly, that program started only in sixth grade.

Oak Harbor schools have no orchestra programs, so string players who transfer here — a common occurrence with such a large military presence — may suddenly have no group to play with.

Click sets up duets, trios and other ensembles for them.

Students who graduate high school and miss playing their instruments are welcomed to jam on Friday nights.

Rostov, a former public-school teacher and chlld-protection worker, said the store barely provides enough income to live on but offers a great deal of satisfaction.

“There are families in and out of Oak Harbor all the time, and that affects not only those children who leave but those left behind,” she said. “It’s extremely important for every kid in Oak Harbor to have a place they can feel comfortable and safe. When they come in and wait for lessons, they play hacky-sack and help each other out. A 7-yearold might say, ‘I had this piece in band today and I don’t know how to finger this note,’ and a 12-year-old would help him out.”

“It’s all about giving kids a good start and an avenue into a social scene that’s positive -- the best peer group ever.”

Army to conduct training at OLF Coupeville

By DEBRA VAUGHN

dvaughn@whidbeynewsgroup.com

An Army battalion from Joint Base Lewis McChord plans to team up with sailors from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island to conduct communications training at the Outlying Landing Field in Coupeville next month.

The Army’s 51st Signal Battalion (Expeditionary) is scheduled to practice using its troposcatter communication system, which transmits and receives microwave signals out of sight lines by bouncing radio signals off layers of the Earth’s atmosphere.

Sailors from NAS Whidbey’s Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 10’s Mobile Tactical Operations Center 12 will train with the Army battalion. They use similar mobile systems while deployed overseas.

OLF Coupeville is an ideal site for training because landscape changes such as water bodies affect how the equipment is used, said Maj. Bonnie Conard, a public affairs officer for the Army.

“Every time they change the environment, you

have to change the settings,” she said. “It gives them realistic training.”

The military has used troposcatter communications since the 1960s to transmit voice and data without satellites or high-frequency radio signals, according to Military and Aerospace, an industry publication.

Troposcatter communications are more secure because their radio waves are difficult for enemies to intercept.

The Army battalion provides communication during “significant or catastrophic events” between first responders, government agencies, the military and others, according to a prepared release from NAS Whidbey public affairs.

The training is scheduled for March 28-April 1. Civilians traveling by the field might see an Army tent sent up as an operations base and two troposcatter microwave systems that look like “Mickey Mouse ears,” Conard said.

The outlying field has been a focal point of controversy on the island because of anger and health concerns about jet noise from EA-18G Growlers

Troposcatter equipment like this is scheduled to be used at a joint army and navy training exercise next month at the outlying field in Coupeville. conducting touch-and-go landing practice.

The same group as well as people living on the Olympic Peninsula also are upset the Navy’s plan to introduce electromagnetic transmitters to its electronic-warfare training to the peninsula.

SPILL CLEANUP CONTINUED FROM A1 As many as 200 gallons leaked from the tank behind a building at 890 Pioneer Way, although very little of that likely made it to the harbor, said Larry Altose, a spokesman for the state Department of Ecology.

The building’s tenants include a nail shop and an embroidery business.

“An outdoor aboveground heating oil tank had been filled last week with a delivery of 200 gallons,” he said.

“That’s where the spill estimate came from, as we begin by assuming everything in the tank spilled,” he said.

“We may refine that estimate, though.”

Oak Harbor Fire Department first got a call shortly before 4 p.m.

Monday, when callers reported the smell of diesel in the vicinity of Pioneer and Midway Boulevard, said Fire Chief Ray Merrill.

That’s where the city’s stormwater outfall is located.

Firefighters went to the scene, put a plastic bottle under the effluent coming out of the pipe and saw a

layer of oil on the surface, he said. City crews strung an orange protective boom around the outfall pipe to keep the oil from spreading.

Tuesday, city vactor trucks sucked oily water from manholes downtown, while other workers put out absorbent pads around the pipe. The smell of diesel was still pungent.

The leaky tank was located on an unpaved area with no secondary containment, Altose said.

Some of the oil soaked into the ground and some drained through cracked asphalt pavement into a private storm drain and catch basin linked to the

SOUND OFF Only a bureaucrat would claim lawsuit is keeping costs low SOUND OFF

By MAC MCDOWELL Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks is again wasting County tax payer dollars, this time over onequarter million dollars. Banks claims commissioners cannot hire counsel without his approval.

He’s wrong.

Three Superior Court judges told him he’s wrong, two stated this in writing to him on April 20, and the third threw out his recent court case.

RCW 36.32.200, among other things, states “… the contract of employment of such attorney or counsel has been first reduced to writing and approved by the presiding superior court judge of the county in writing.”

The county commissioners obtained both superior judges’ approval to hire an attorney to help them carry out the commissioner’s responsibility of setting county policy.

The county prosecutor has no authority in setting county policy and the fact he argues he was elected does not change that responsibility or authority or give him the authority to set policy.

It’s pathetic that Banks states he is trying to keep cost low; only a government attorney bureaucrat with no financial skin in the game would say $256,000 is remotely low or that ignoring three judges and demanding to go to the state Supreme Court, regardless of those judge’s opinions, is keeping costs low.

The RCW allowing commissioners to hire an outside attorney is critically important.

Imagine if a county had a vindictive or corrupt, or just plain stupid prosecuting attorney that refused to sign off on any counsel outside of his control. That would be like a little dictator trying to control all legal matters in a county without any local recourse.

The commissioners, with written approval of a county superior court judge, need that recourse.

Banks claims all 39 Washington state counties want this court case. If that is his rationale to sue, he should show correspondence from all 39 counties making this claim. n Mac McDowell is an Oak Harbor resident and former Island County commissioner.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Clearcut

Nothing will bring back that forest Editor, Unbelievable. If the Whidbey NewsTimes is correct, the City of Oak Harbor made $244,000 from timber off the 40 acres on Sleeper Road. This is how much the destruction of 40 acres of beautiful old growth forest is worth.

The city seems to have placed no value on clean air and sheer beauty this forest provided.

I wonder if this money will even cover the “reforestation, limb grinding, and appraisal of the property and mineral value” that is supposed to be done.

None of that will bring back the forest, and we still have to look at ugly bare ground.

Karen and Ben Bess Oak Harbor

Hospital

Even the U.S. Senate answers questions Editor, The lack of transparency and public discussion and debate by WGH board members has never been greater.

Their ad hoc decision-making, failure to get the facts beforehand, and abiding by whatever the administration proposes, are serious obstacles to good governance.

The hospital board meets at 7 a.m. the second Monday of every month, when most people are getting ready for work, getting children off to school, or not yet awake. Seldom are there more than two or three public citizens in attendance.

While public comments are “welcomed,” the board president often reminds us this is done out of good will, not as a requirement. Board meeting minutes no longer even bother to record the subject matter or content of comments or views expressed by the public.

Prior to the most recent meeting, a board member had indicated a financial analysis of the cost of changing the hospital’s name would be provided prior to any vote being taken. No such information was forthcoming, however, before the board issued its customary 5-0 stamp of approval — ad hoc decision making at its best.

Ask if an analysis was done of how much it will cost to staff and operate the bigger new patient wing (maintenance, utilities, insurance, salaries, etc.), and the answer you get is that it should be about the same as those of the present facility.

And finally, if you ask the hospital’s financial officer how any future mon-

etary shortfalls will be dealt with, the answer is that we have the power of the levy; in other words, we can always get more money from the taxpayers to cover any poor planning or miscalculations. Remember in 2014 the hospital’s operating deficit was over $4 million.

The only difference between Washington, D.C., and WGH is that there is transparency, questions, dialogue, answers, at Senate hearings, which are made available to the public through the media. Not so at all at WGH. At WGH there are no answers to questions.

The similarities WGH has with D.C. are that they feel they can always lean on the public for more money (levy) and prudent financial planning comes second. When the next request for a levy comes on the ballot you will understand why.

in their proposal to gain title to public beach access on Wonn Road.

Mom has lived on bank property east of Wonn Road since the mid-1960s and, like others, could not replace, or maintain, her steps to the beach.

Our extended family enjoyed her beach for clamming and recreation over these many years. Walking from Wonn Road became risky due to the no trespassing sign there next to an old single-wide trailer.

So, my dad would call a friend next to what is now Montgomery property, for parking permission, and we would bring her back a batch of steamers.

This week, my mother, during our regular phone chat, said the decision is important in order to preserve island history.

She and my dad had delivered the Seattle Times, probably in the late 1960s, and, if they had an extra paper, would throw it in the yard of an elderly woman unable to pay for a subscription.

This woman accompanied her daughter to the garden club meeting where my mother met and visited with her. She invited my parents to dinner and told them about her memories of the steamer that docked at Wonn Road to bring supplies and take the dairy milk from the berry farm and school students to Everett.

If this woman was in her 80s as my mother thinks, she would have been born in the late 1880s.

Mom feels the history of Greenbank began at the Wonn Road beach access

area and needs to preserved and is grateful to advocates working to maintain public access.

Base growth

Fed. government should help OH Editor, We read about the increase of the military and their families that are coming to Oak Harbor. As a community we welcome them.

Who is going to pay for the cost for new schools, classroom modules needed, over crowded classrooms, etc. mentioned in the articles? My concern is, where is the money for the schools coming from? We have read some money coming from federal government, but it is my understanding money allocated for schools in military towns goes into a general state fund and it is not necessarily passed directly to the communities that have the military school growth.

I think it is important for the federal government to pay for the increased expenses that a community incurs when the military and their families are moved to a community: schools, swimming pool, roads, fire and police services, hospital, parks, etc.

They are all affected cost wise with the increase of population. The homeowners’ property tax bills are already high … with half of the money mainly going to schools.

State Tournament Time

Oak Harbor athletes shine in bowling, wrestling, swimming

By JIM WALLER

jwaller@whidbeynewsgroop.com

State tournaments were held across Washington this past weekend, and Oak Harbor athletes put their positive stamp on each competition.

Bowling Oak Harbor nabs 2nd In the second day of action, the Oak Harbor High School bowling team overtook three teams but couldn’t jump past Moses Lake, finishing second in the state tournament in Vancouver Feb. 20 and 21.

Oak Harbor, coached

by John Youngsman and Tom Cockrell, sat in fifth place after Saturday’s first round, then skipped over Woodinville, Shorewood and Bellarmine Sunday to land in second.

Moses Lake and Oak Harbor finished 1-2, just as they were seeded coming into the 51st Annual Washington State Proprietors’ Association High School Varsity Bowling Championships.

Moses Lake won the 14-team Division I title with 52 points. Oak Harbor posted 42, and Bellarmine and Shorewood tied for third with 40.

Moses Lake finished with a team average of 193 and a total of 9,593 pins. Oak Harbor averaged 184 and col-

lected 9,323 pins.

In all, 28 five-person teams spread over two divisions qualified for the state finals.

Oak Harbor was represented by D.J. Rutter, Daniel Johnson, Niko Hawkins, Earl Angeles and Devin McCardle.

Johnson picked up secondteam, all-state honors and coaches Youngsman and Cockrell received WSBPA Hall of Fame status.

Oak Harbor finished fifth last year and was hoping to recapture the crown, which it won in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Wrestling Zook 3rd, 2 others 7th

Youth Wrestling WWWC takes 2 titles

Oak Harbor High School junior Sam Zook (285 pounds) placed third and senior Dymond Piper (152) and junior Meredith Bain (190) each finished seventh to lead the Wildcats at the state wrestling tournament Friday and Saturday at the Tacoma Dome.

Three other Wildcats – freshman Blake Servatius (106), junior Zach Aketch (145) and junior Caitlin Woodworth (155) – took part in Mat Classic XXVIII; none placed but each won a match before exiting.

The Wildcat boys, with 32 points, placed 19th as a team out of the 60 3A

Senior Joe Gorman’s 22nd place in the 500-yard freestyle highlighted Oak Harbor High School’s efforts at the Washington 3A state swim meet Friday in Federal Way. Gorman clocked a 5:28.93 in the 500 free. He also competed in the 200-yard freestyle, finishing 24th in 2:01.94.

The Wildcats’ other qualifier, senior Eric Jensen, placed 24th in the 100-yard butterfly in 59.9.

Oak Harbor’s Sam Zook, right, works to escape from Foss’s Jackson Potts. Zook defeated Potts to finish third in the state 3A high school wrestling tournament. schools represented. Wesco North champion and topranked Arlington won the state crown with 148 points.

Wesco’s Edmonds-Woodway finished fourth with 106.

Girls from all classifications competed in the same tournament. Oak Harbor scored eight points to tie for 65th out of the 124 schools that qualified wrestlers for

the meet.

Zook entered the tournament undefeated and ranked fourth in the Washington Wrestling Report standings.

He started the meet with a 7-0 win over eighth-ranked Angus Beaton of Capital and lost by a fall (2:52) to Rogers of Spokane’s second-ranked Markus Robinson. He then grabbed four straight wins

to claim third. He stopped Wesco North foe 11th-ranked Austin Brown of MarysvillePilchuck 3-1, pinned ninthranked Bryan Person of Prairie (2:02), nipped Julius McDade of O’Dea 1-0 and collected third by pinning (5:53) fifth-ranked Jackson Potts of Foss. Potts finished fourth, Robinson fifth, McDade sixth and Person eighth.

Whidbey Wildcat Wrestling Club’s Ethan Hunsaker and Elizabeth Clairmont each won titles at the Chuck Bullard Memorial Washington State Wrestling Association Folkstyle State Championship Sunday at the Tacoma Dome.

Hunsaker competed in the pee wee 44.8-45.8 class, while Clairmont took part in the schoolgirl 97 division.

Also wrestling in the tournament for WWWC were Logan Clairmont, Amari Mitchell, Olivia Clairmont, Parker Anderson, Allen Proffitt, Ashaun Mitchell and Alexander Clairmont.

Wolves defeat Seattle Christian, qualify for state for first time since 2006 Behind a stingy defense, the Coupeville High School girls basketball team defeated Seattle Christian 49-33 Friday at Sumner in the third-place game of the District 3 1A tournament.

That win earned the Wolves their first trip to the state tournament since 2006.

Coupeville begins state action when it meets Cashmere at 4 p.m. Saturday in Wenatchee in the loser-out regional round of the tournament.

The regional winners advance to the final eight in Yakima March 3-5.

Cashmere is used to the bright lights of state, placing third the past two years while compiling a 49-4 record.

This year’s Cashmere team hasn’t posted a sparkling record like the 2014 (26-1) and 2015 (23-3) versions, but don’t be fooled by

the Bulldogs’ 2016 mark of 15-7.

Among the Bulldogs’ losses were setbacks to Okanogan, 23-0 and ranked first in 2B; East Valley of Spokane, 19-3 and ranked first in 2A; Mabton, 20-3 and ranked fourth in 2B; Granger, 17-3 and ranked fifth in 1A; and Zillah, 16-4 and ranked sixth in 1A. Cashmere dropped its season opener by one point to 2A Ephrata and another onepointer to league foe Chelan.

The Bulldogs avenged the conference loss to Chelan by beating the Goats three times by double figures, including a 20-point win in the district tournament title game.

Cashmere won the four-team Caribou League with an 8-1 record.

Coupeville went 9-0 in Olympic League play for the second straight year and holds a 16-5 season record.

The five losses came by a combined 21 points; the largest was an eight-point setback to eighth-ranked Bellevue Christian.

Coupeville hopes to return to the glory of the early 2000s when the Wolves made five trips to the state tournament between 2000 and 2006, placing fourth in 2002 and eighth in 2003 and 2005.

In the win over Seattle Christian, the Wolves’ offense was sluggish in the first quarter but its defense glittered all night.

Coupeville scored just once in the opening period and trailed 6-2. Its offense perked up and the Wolves led 19-13 at halftime and 37-25 after three quarters.

Makana Stone finished with 24 points and 20 rebounds; Kailey Kellner had 12 points and 10 rebounds; Mia Littlejohn tallied nine points; and Lauren Grove scored four.

Whidbey Playhouse’s youth drama program teaches more than acting

By RON NEWBERRY

rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Fostering a continual stream of community theater performers is only a small part of the Whidbey Playhouse’s youth drama program.

Stan Thomas, the program’s director, said the underlying messages and life skills being taught during the sessions are far more important, and to him, much more gratifying.

“Theater is important for kids,” Thomas said. “We teach reading, writing and arithmetic in school. You might use those things when you grow older, but what theater training does, it teaches kids how to stand up and present themselves in front of a group of people. That’s something they can use no matter what they decide to do.

“How to speak loudly, clearly, distinctly, how to get their ideas across, these are all things we teach them.”

The after-school program, titled the “Would Be Players,” continues to grow in popularity since Thomas introduced it in Oak Harbor four years ago.

He remembers 12 kids signing up during the program’s first session in March, 2012. That number has nearly tripled, with 32 kids participating in the most recent session over the winter.

The spring workshops begin the week of March 7.

The program is designed for students ages 6 to 18 and is broken into three different levels based on age and experience.

There is a “Novice” class for those ages 6 to 11 and new to the stage. They will meet from 3:45-5:45 p.m.

Mondays and Tuesdays.

An “Entertainer” class for ages 11 to 14 meets from 3:30-5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

A “Thespian” class for ages 13 to 18 is designed for more experienced students.

It meets from 3:30-5:45 p.m.

Mondays and Tuesdays and is taught by Thomas.

The cost for the eight-week program is $75 per student with a limit of 20 students per class. Students are asked to pre-register by Feb. 29.

Forms are available at the Whidbey Playhouse, 730 SE Midway Boulevard, in Oak Harbor.

The spring session culminates with live performances April 26-28 open to families of the actors.

Thomas, vice president of the Playhouse board, has been involved with community theater since 1990 when he was living in Illinois and continues to direct and act in plays in Oak Harbor.

In Illinois, he helped run a summer theater program for kids and wanted to continue those teachings with youth on Whidbey Island.

He said he believes the program is important because it teaches social skills and teamwork and builds confidence, self-esteem and comaraderie.

The actors learn they must work together and depend on each other for success, he said.

“I refer to theater as a team sport,” Thomas said.

“Everybody has to do their own part in order to make the production work. Getting up on stage to perform can be nervewracking. It helps take a shy child out of his or her shell. It teaches kids discipline. They have to learn their lines.”

“And it’s being part of a team. In rehearsals, you are actually practicing how you are going to perform it.

That’s the same as practicing football or baseball. You are trying to hone skills,” he said. “If you don’t learn those things, you let your team-

Chris Scoggin, a Playhouse volunteer who helps with lighting and sound, said he’s watched youth take big steps in personal growth and maturity in the “Would Be Players” program. His son, Mason, a freshman at Oak Harbor High School, has participated for two years.

“This is much more built around the idea of risk taking without the fear of failure because you will fail,” Chris Scoggin said. “Don’t be afraid of failing because it will happen. That’s part of the deal, so move on.”

Getting back up and continuing is part of the growth.

“I’ve watched some kids come in super shy,” Scoggin said. “By the end of a couple sessions, they are tearing the place up.”

The students’ growth has been pleasing to Thomas,

a former special education teacher in Illinois and Texas.

Some of his advanced pupils have graduated to the Playhouse’s big stage. Kaitlin Barrailler, 14, is part of the cast of “Moon Over Buffalo,” which played this month at the Playhouse and concluded over the weekend. Barrailler played the part of a woman in her early 20s.

She was one of a handful of teens from the program who performed onstage during the Playhouse’s 50th anniversary season. Kyle Caporgno performed in “The Lion in Winter.” Tatyana Moore and Trianna Kobelin had roles in “Godspell.”

Brenden Darnell recently earned a part while auditioning for the upcoming play, “Lost in Yonkers.”

Wollie Fowkes, who played the lead role in “Godspell,” took some of Thomas’ classes in the past.

“I have a core group that has been with me for four years,” Thomas said.

“These kids are all best friends. They hang around as a group. They all love each other. It’s a cool thing to see that happening. They’re making friendships that last a lifetime.”

As a teacher, Thomas said he felt a responsibility to help develop good citizens. He said exposure to theater also plays a role in that area.

“Plays always teach a message,” Thomas said. “I think the messages we put in plays and do in skits get the message across to kids on how they have to live their lives in order to get along with others.

“Besides,” Thomas added, “This is taking kids away from computers and phones and giving them social skills.”

Cell phones are placed on a table just before the start of

Acting lessons Since 2012, the Whidbey Playhouse in Oak Harbor has been offering a youth theater program known as the “Would Be Players.” The afterschool drama program is for students ages 6 to 18. The next session starts the week of March 7. There will be three classes for different ages and levels of experience.

The cost is $75 for the session. Those interested are asked to pre-register

by Feb. 29. Forms are at the Whidbey Playhouse, 730 SE Midway Boulevard, in Oak Harbor.

“It’s not too hard,” Mason Scoggin said. “His classes always have something for us to do. There’s not much down time.”

STATE’S WITNESS

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

CONTINUED FROM A1 firearms allegation — which would have increased the sentence — was dismissed.

The plea agreement filed in court states that Rayford will not be sentenced until after the other three have gone to trial or had their cases otherwise adjudicated. If Rayford upholds his end of the deal, the prosecutor will recommend a mid-range sentence of 24 years and three-and-a-half

months.

According to the detective’s report, Rayford carried out the “hit” against Johnson because Nunez was upset over a $400 impound fee.

Johnson had borrowed Nunez’s car and it was impounded by the Washington State Patrol.

A report by Detective Ed Wallace with

JAIL CHALLENGES CONTINUED FROM A1 Island County Sheriff Mark Brown said that’s probably a record for the jail.

To complicate matters, three murder suspects in the adult jail are co-defendants, which means they can’t have any contact with each other. Jose Briones, the new jail chief, said that can make logistics difficult, especially when moving inmates for recreation opportunities or court appearances.

In addition, he said two inmates have gang affiliations. One of the men has ties to the Mexican Mafia, an organized criminal enterprise in U.S. prisons. He was incarcerated in California and wielded control over the inmate population there, Briones said.

The other inmate has ties to a Mexican drug cartel.

Briones said he tries to separate people with gang ties in order to avoid trouble.

And he makes an effort to keep inmates suffering from mental illness away from defendants who may be “predatory.”

“We have a very dynamic group right

now,” he said.

At the same time, reforms are ongoing at the jail. The process started last year after Keaton Farris, 25, was found dead just after midnight April 8. The coroner found that the Lopez Island native, who was suffering from a mental illness, died at least seven hours earlier from dehydration and malnutrition.

The jail has several new corrections deputies. Brown hired Briones, who has years of experience at state prisons and supervised a unit for people with serious mental illnesses.

Briones said he continues to review policies and procedures and implement changes. The jail staff screens incoming inmates the best they can, Briones said, so they know who they’re dealing with.

Under a settlement with Farris’ family, a jail expert will continue monitoring the jail’s progress. But so far, Brown said, the reforms appear to be working.

Page A11

the Island County Sheriff’s Office indicates that Hernandez drove Rayford, Reeder and Nunez to Johnson’s house on North Whidbey on the night of Nov. 10, 2015.

Rayford and Reeder walked up to the house together. After speaking with Johnson briefly at the front door, Rayford pulled a .22-caliber handgun “out of the pocket of his hoodie, pointed the gun at Johnson, closed his eyes, turned his head and pulled the trigger,” Wallace wrote.

Rayford didn’t see where he shot Johnson because he and Reeder ran back to the car,

the report states.

Nunez and Hernandez later threw the gun into the water off West Beach, Wallace wrote. It has not been recovered.

Early in the morning of Nov. 11, a friend of the Johnson family called 911 after finding the young man unconscious and bleeding at his home. Johnson was taken to the hospital, where doctors discovered he had a gunshot wound to the head. He was airlifted to Harborview, but never regained consciousness.

Johnson was pronounced dead Nov. 13.
