District to form 5th-6th school

Counselor caught with teenage boy at bridge arrested

By JESSIE STENSLAND jessie@whidbeynewsgroup.com

A drug-and-alcohol counselor caught in a compromising position with a teenage client at Deception Pass Bridge is facing a possible criminal charge, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives uncovered what appeared to be a severalmonths-long sexual relationship between the 33-yearold woman and the 16-year-old boy, the sheriff’s office reported in a press release.

At 2:45 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 21, a deputy noticed a suspicious car parked at the bridge. Closer inspection revealed that a woman was sitting on the lap of a teenage boy in the passenger seat of the car.

Both occupants were clothed, but the deputy noticed

The Oak Harbor School Board unanimously agreed Monday night to move forward with a plan to create an intermediary school for fifth and sixth graders.

That option emerged as the quickest and most affordable solution to deal with an expected swell of incoming Navy families with young children.

Beginning in fall 2017, Oak Harbor Middle School will serve fifth and sixth graders while seventh and eighth graders will attend North Whidbey Middle School.

At the moment, both middle schools serve children in sixth through eighth grades.

“The reality is, I don’t know what else we can do,” said board member Corey Johnson. “I feel like we’ve looked at every possible option. As a board member, the best thing we can do is help (the district) march forward.”

He and other officials said the district should be building a new school, but the money isn’t available and the district can’t wait three years for new classrooms.

Oak Harbor School District has the highest number of full-time elementary students on record, with more coming in the next few years. On top of that, state lawmakers reduced class sizes and added full-day kindergarten, creating the need for more elementary school classrooms and teachers.

District officials examined a number of options, including building a new school, adding more portables, buying the Oak Harbor Christian School and sending children to school in shifts.

They’re already using 18 portable classrooms and plan to add 10 more this year. At some point, all those portables SEE SCHOOL, A10

Hospital reaches a tentative agreement with nurses’ union

Teacher’s life celebrated Shannon Buchanan, attendance secretary at Olympic View Elementary School, holds a sign showing Che’ Gilliland in honor of the former Oak Harbor teacher and environmental and peace activist during a parade through Coupeville Sunday to celebrate Gilliland’s life. Gilliland, a former Coupeville resident, died Jan. 29 in New Orleans, La., after a short battle with lung cancer.

Whidbey General Hospital and the nurses’s union reached a tentative contract agreement last week, potentially ending nearly a year of negotiations.

In a contract summary released by the union, nurses would receive a 2 percent pay bump in April and another half percent in October. They’d receive a 2.5 percent increase each of the following two years.

The contract includes pay increases in other situations, such as a 25-cent per hour increase in standby pay.

The bargaining team also negotiated agreements on workplace issues, including new language stating that nurses who take family and medical leave can do so over a 12-month period — they don’t have to take their time all at once.

It’s far from a done deal, but Naval Hospital Oak Harbor may be getting a major renovation soon.

A proposed renovation that would fix infrastructure

issues and modernize the labor and delivery unit is planned to begin at the earliest in the spring of 2017, said Trish Rose, hospital spokeswoman.

The changes also would address overcrowding and

flow issues in hospital spaces as well as improvements to environmental control systems.

Meeting to discuss impact of NAS Whidbey growth

By DEBRA VAUGHN

dvaughn@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Tom Ewell said he wants to de-escalate confrontations and find middle ground — and he thinks he might be able to do some good when it comes to a discussion about Navy growth.

He’s arranged a public meeting for 7 p.m. Friday at St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church in Freeland, 5217

Honeymoon Road.

Ewell, a Quaker who lives in Clinton, said he wants to have respectful discussion about what Navy growth means for the area, including infrastructure, public safety, traffic, housing, the ferry and health. Everyone is invited but he’d like people from Oak Harbor to feel welcome to attend.

“All of us on the island need to pay close attention to

how this may affect our quality of life,” he said. “It’s not just the number of jets and helicopters and P-8s — it’s the number of people.”

“What is this all going to mean?”

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island is expanding, but by how much isn’t clear.

The Navy is replacing the P-3 Orion with P-8A Poseidon, which will bring additional squadrons to the

base. Major construction projects are underway on base and more are proposed in next year’s Department of Defense budget, including $45 million for a EA-18G Growler maintenance hangar and $30 million for a Triton mission control facility.

It’s likely more EA-18G Growlers will come, too, though it’s not clear how many Growlers are coming to NAS Whidbey until the Navy

completes an Environmental Impact Statement.

Growlers are a point of contention with many people in the region upset about the noise caused by the jets.

A group of people living on the Olympic Peninsula aren’t thrilled with the Navy’s plans to introduce electromagnetic transmitters to its electronic warfare training on the peninsula.

Ewell said this meeting isn’t associated with Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, the grassroots organization opposed to Growler touch-and-go practices at the outlying field in Coupeville. He said that group’s tactics were aggressive at times and turned off some people.

Ewell said he isn’t quite sure what the answer is but wants to engage more people in “nonviolent direct action and mediation.”

“The local and federal government can’t allow this kind of damage to be done to people,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any question damage is being done to people.”

At the meeting, there will be sharing of information and small group discussion where everyone will have an opportunity to speak. Ewell said he’s not going to allow one person to monopolize the conversation. n For information about the meeting, contact Ewell at 360-341-1457.

Two reappointed to Law & Justice Council The Board of Island County Commissioners on Wednesday unanimously reappointed Kirk Augustine, Michael O’Mahony and Gary Swanson to the Law & Justice Council.

The group, the existence of which is required by state

law, meets monthly.

The 21 members include the county sheriff and representatives of several municipal police departments and legislative bodies. It is charged with maximizing local resources and reducing duplication of services.

Audit shows hospital payroll oversight still needs work

By DEBRA VAUGHN

dvaughn@whidbeynewsgroup.com

The state auditor advised Whidbey General Hospital it needs to improve oversight of the payroll process -— again.

The auditor sent the hospital a Jan. 20 letter advising officials they still need to fix two “deficiencies” with payroll uncovered during a routine audit in 2012.

Most of the issues identified in the earlier audit were fixed and hospital personnel were working cooperatively to fix the problem, said Andy Asbjornsen, an audit manager for the state.

“They were really working hard to try and correct everything identified,” he said.

However, two issues remain. Time cards were processed without always being approved by employees and supervisors. Auditors also found four employees had more access to the payroll and human resource services than were necessary for their jobs.

In the 2012 audit, auditors noted that employees and supervisors not approving time cards led to one overpayment of $173,250 after an employee was mis-

takenly paid for 250 days of work instead of 2.5 days.

The employee returned the money.

The “management letter” was released on the auditor’s website last week along with the most recent accountability audit of the hospital, covering Jan. 1, 2013 through Dec. 31, 2014.

The state’s audit covered the hospital district’s payroll, cash receipting, credit card disbursements and billing adjustments.

It does not cover the hospital’s finances. The hospital opted to hire a private firm to conduct audits. Those audit reports were reviewed by the state.

Local government agencies have been required to file financial reports with the state auditor for more than a century. After the Whidbey hospital district was included in a special report from the auditor’s office last year on government transparency for not filing financial information or filing incomplete information, the hospital submitted those “financials” to the state, Asbjornsen said.

They also filed financials for 2014 — albeit 25 days

later than the deadline, which Asbjornsen described as “not too bad.”

Safeguarding public funds is the top priority of the finance department at Whidbey Island Public Hospital District, said Ron Telles, chief financial officer.

In response to the 2012 state finding, the district strengthened and enhanced internal payroll department controls.

“While state auditors have pointed out that we still have work to do, we are gratified that they also note our improvements,” he said.

“Their most recent audit found no instances of payment inaccuracies.”

To comply with the findings, the hospital has taken steps to redefine and clarify the roles of payroll and human services employees, including clearer delineation of how various payroll processes are initiated, approved, recorded and reconciled. As a safeguard, these functions are either completely separate from each other or have adequate compensating controls, he said.

The hospital also initiated an additional safeguard, cre-

ating an audit trail report to identify any instance where proper payroll approval “may be lacking.” If that happens, proper approval is obtained before any money is disbursed, he said.

“Although we are pleased with progress made in implementing payroll safeguards,

we must make further improvements,” he said.

“We are always working to strengthen the monitoring and oversight of our financial systems. We are addressing concerns, and have implemented staff training, including additional training for managers on payroll proce-

dures and protections.”

The hospital has hired new management and employees with experience in payroll processing and the hospital plans to upgrade software to more current versions, which should ensure financial control and accuracy, he said.

BRIEF Oak Harbor brewery to help draft college’s curriculum Flyers Restaurant & Brewery, with locations in Oak Harbor and Burlington, will be among the brewers helping develop a curriculum for a craft brewing academy planned by Skagit Valley College, the college said this week in a prepared release.

The 40-credit, fourmonth program, to be taught off Whidbey Island, will start May 3 and cost $4,500.

The program is intended to help students enter the brewing business or enlarge their knowledge of it, the college said.

It is a product of the college’s participation in the Skagit Valley Innovation Partnership Zone for value-added agriculture, announced in 2013.

Economic director foresees great things

By DAN RICHMAN

drichman@whidbeynewstimes.com

With only four months on the job, Oak Harbor’s first full-time economic development director says she’s just finding her footing. But there’s one thing Barbara Spohn (pronounced “spawn”) is sure of: Everyone has a different idea about what her job is.

“The position can be defined in so many ways,” said Spohn. “Ask four people and they’ll each have a different priority: filling empty storefronts, building a hotel, opening a seafood restaurant, cleaning up the neighbor’s trash.”

Some directives, she said, are clear: make sure the economy is vibrant and sustainable. Create jobs. Bring in business, and ensure existing businesses can thrive.

It’s far too soon to judge her success in any of those undertakings, especially with a mayor who’s only been in office two months.

But Spohn said she believes she’s well suited to the task.

For one thing, she’s an outsider, raised in Columbus, Ohio, and a graduate of Ohio State University with a degree in political science.

That gives her a fresh eye,

“I would not have come here if I didn’t see amazing potential.”

bring jobs to Oak Harbor, she said. “I want to bring my friends in and show them how cool this place is.”

Ideal jobs for the city would include sales offices, call centers, administrative centers, light manufacturing and “anything marine-oriented,” she said.

Oak Harbor has “a welleducated workforce and a lot of space,” she said.

Employing the spouses of the city’s growing Navy population is an especially important challenge, she said.

Developing partnerships, such as Oak Harbor’s with Skagit Valley College, will prove key, she predicted.

The college is working to clarify which industries would do well in Oak Harbor and to train or retrain residents to fill those jobs, she said.

After graduation, Spohn did marketing and business development for architecture and engineering firms.

that, even if she hadn’t gotten the job, she would have moved here anyway.

To those who might bemoan Oak Harbor’s lack of central planning, sleepy downtown and lack of charm or even a distinctive identity, Spohn advises patience.

“There is a lot to do, and it can’t all be done at once,” she said. “As a developer, I’m used to doing things fast — buy the property, design the house, build the house.

Here, I have to hold myself back and know that things will happen, but slowly.”

Spohn said she believes she’s part of a competent team, with newly elected Mayor Bob Severns, longtime Planning Director Steve Powers and a city council packed with “smart, smart businesspeople who see what can be done.”

She will succeed at her task, she said, so long as “people are talking to each other, working for the same thing. I don’t think that has happened in the past.”

She branched out into real estate development, working with major companies such as Coca-Cola, Sports Authority and Nationwide Insurance.

She did all that while raising two sons as a single mother. When her boys proved reluctant to leave the nest, she decided to move herself — to “head west, hit the water and stop.”

She found the Oak Harbor position advertised through the International Economic Development Council, came out from Atlanta to interview and got the job.

“It was a long shot, someone my age (62) and from out of town getting the job, but I did. I had two weeks to pack up my household and move 2,200 miles. What a great adventure!” she said, adding

OBITUARIES

Mielke

Josephine Lucille ‘Mitzi’ Mielke

Josephine Lucille Mielke, affectionately known as Mitzi or Mimi, passed away peacefully on Feb. 23, 2016, at the age of 76.

Mitzi was born on March 11, 1939, in Natchez, Miss., to her parents Henry Claude and Lucille Bedelia Maserang.

A devoted wife of 49 years, Mitzi called many places home, including Abilene, Texas, and Las Vegas, Nev., where she met the love of her life, Chief Petty Officer Kenneth Mielke. The Navy sent them to San Diego, Bremerton and as far as the Philippines with their two sons, Richard and Jason Mielke.

They finally settled down, making their home in Oak Harbor.

Her career spanned several decades, working for Clark County School District in Las Vegas and for social organizations such as Help House, Planned Parenthood and the Department of Social and Health Services.

Page A5

CHURCH NOTES Her desire to help the less fortunate could also be seen in her personal life as she gave to many charitable organizations.

Mitzi had the biggest and most selfless of hearts and was the first to come to the aid of those in need.

On the rare occasion she indulged in something for herself, she loved taking trips to Leavenworth during the Christmas holidays, cruising to Alaska, or just taking a slow drive along Whidbey Island roads with her “Honey” Ken. But what she loved most was her family, consisting of her beloved husband Ken, sons Richard and Jason, and grandchildren Jacob, Carson and Reagan Mielke.

Mitzi is now reunited with her parents and brothers, Max Maserang, Freddy Bates and Richard Maserang. She is survived by her immediate family, sister Marlene Smith and her husband Curtis of Adkins, Texas and brother Herb Maserang and his wife Jo of Oak Harbor. She will be remembered by many, family and friends alike, whom she cared dearly for.

To honor her memory, in lieu of flowers, please make donations to North Whidbey Help House, 1091 S.E. Hathaway St., Oak Harbor, WA 98277.

A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 12, at Wallin Funeral Home with Chaplain David G. Lura presiding. A reception will follow at the funeral home.

Arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. To share condolences, please visit Mitzi’s

Jongsma

Arnold Robert Jongsma

Arnold Robert Jongsma was born to Franklin and Lois Jongsma in Coupeville on Jan. 29, 1956.

Arnie was a humble, thoughtful, sensitive man who cared deeply about his friends and family. He had a gentle, giving spirit.

It showed through his constant generosity to all who came into his life. He was an artist by nature. He loved music, playing his guitar and creating jewelry. His many letters written to friends and family are now treasures to keep.

Arnie grew up in Oak Harbor. With encouragement from his close cousin, Stanley DeVries, in 2003 he moved north to Juneau,

Alaska. He loved hiking, kayaking, rock hounding and enjoying all things of nature.

True to the Jongsma tradition, many a beautiful beach agate or semi-precious stone was given as a gift of love. He loved his nieces and nephews as if they were his own.

At every visit, he would tell a joke or two and laugh harder than anyone else.

He was an excellent mechanic (Mr. VW) and seemed to be capable of fixing almost anything. He saved many a tow with his amazing know-how.

For many years, Arnie went to Mexico to build houses for the homeless. He worked hard, was passionate about the jobs he did and really loved being able to help others. He marched to his own beat and lived life to the fullest.

On Feb. 12, 2016, he and his friend, Sundown Arasmith, died in a kayaking accident in Juneau.

Arnie knew and loved the Lord. He was preceded in death by his mother, Lois Jongsma. He is survived by his father Franklin Jongsma; and his brother and sisters, Marty (Bob) Hitchcock, Dee Ann Carlson, Alan (Nancy) Jongsma, Gail (Gordon) Kruckeberg, Joy Glein and Doris Brinkerhoff; as well as many nieces and nephews; and many, many friends.

IN OUR OPINION Contest to promote Garry oak plantings

“G

reat things take time.”

That’s a motto that guides Laura Renninger’s efforts with the Garry Oak Society. The fourthgeneration Oak Harbor resident founded the group last year to educate the community about the city’s namesake tree and to ensure they don’t someday disappear from the cityscape.

To that end, the Garry Oak Society and Whidbey News-Times are holding an essay contest, and the prizes are Garry oak trees for winners to plant in their yards.

Members of the group counted the Garry Oaks in the city — on both public and private property — to create an inventory. The information hasn’t been compiled yet, but what she saw gave Renninger reason for concern.

While there are hundreds of healthy oaks in the city, they are nearly all mature. Many of the trees that flourish in Smith Park and the east side neighborhoods have been there for a century or more.

The volunteers found surprisingly few oak youngsters.

That means, Renninger explained, that the uniquely gnarled trees, the behemoths with canopies of green, won’t be replaced as they age and die off, either naturally or from storms or chainsaw.

Until recently, neither the city nor residents have planted young Garry Oaks. The natural process of acorns sprouting and growing into trees doesn’t happen where lawns are mowed and gardens weeded.

Another problem, Renninger said, is that Garry Oaks are slow-growing, which doesn’t play well in a world of instant gratification. And it’s hard to find Garry Oaks at nurseries.

“When you plant a Garry oak tree, you are doing it for future generations,” Renninger said.

The city’s public works department spearheaded an effort to turn the city-owned Boyer property, at the corner of State Highway 20 and Fakkema Road, into a Centennial Oak Grove.

Last year a hundred oak saplings were planted there; the 10-year-old trees were purchased from an Arlington nursery that’s going out of the Garry Oak business since they aren’t exactly moneymakers.

Over the weekend, many more seedlings in protective tubes were planted on the property.

The Garry Oak Society purchased the last of the trees from the Arlington nursery. In order to raise awareness and get more young trees planted on private property, the group is offering to give five of them away for free to the winners of an essay contest.

Whidbey residents are asked to write and share about their favorite Garry Oak and why they would like to plant a tree.

Deadline is April 15.

A selection of the essays will be published in the Whidbey News-Times and winners announced before Arbor Day in April.

Essays can be sent to OHGarryOakSociety.org.

And all residents with a piece of land should consider planting Garry oaks. The Garry Oak Society can help you find saplings.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Whidbey General

Homeless youth

Name change will Navy should end its cause more confusion OLF landing practices Editor, I have read numerous opinions lately concerning the name change for our local hospital, almost all of them negative.

In the 38 years since returning to my childhood hometown, Whidbey General Hospital has served as a beacon for those seeking a variety of health care services.

Necessity and confusion seem to be key issues regarding the change of name, hospital officials said.

Are you serious? Has anybody really gotten confused over where medical services on Whidbey Island can be found? I don’t think so.

I believe people would be more likely to confuse WhidbeyHealth with a New Age spa. Why waste time and valuable resources to change something already effectively conveying the nature of the services being offered?

Sharon Franzen Coupeville

Editor, It’s now up to the Navy to decide if our homeless and at-risk youth on Whidbey Island will have a safe place for healing and growing.

Ryan’s House for Youth desperately needs a facility to offer a “safe, homelike environmennt” for a vulnerable and growing youth population.

After months of searching, the organization found what could be the perfect place.

Ryan’s House is trying to purchase the Countryside Inn near Coupeville, claiming that it is the only facility to be found.

Unfortunately, it sits at the end of Navy’s Outlying Field Coupeville runway. It is adjacent to the dangerous takeoff area and inside the undeclared Accident Potential Zone, APZ-1.

The would-be site for Ryan’s House is also within the loudest portions of the OLF Coupeville flight path where

Growler jet overflights inflict noise so detrimental to human health that one medical specialist termed the situation a “medical emergency.”

The Navy knows there’s a noise problem, having paid $750,000 to owners of 28 other parcels in the same area who sued over jet noise.

That was back in 2002 when older jets did not have noise-increasing afterburners like the Growlers now have.

Locating Ryan’s House at the OLF Coupeville may provide a “safer” place for some youths in need, but certainly not a safe one.

The Navy can make it safe by ending the Growler overflights.

Our elected officials, like Helen Price Johnson, should encourage them to do so.

Price Johnson and the Navy have been provided with numerous health and sound studies that document ongoing harms and risks.

By closing OLF Coupeville, the Navy would avoid more controversy and litigation — and it would be doing something immediate and concrete to meet a pressing need in our Island community.

Wildcat Battalion takes title The Oak Harbor High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps secured the 201516 division championship with an impressive performance in the final regular season competition at Marysville-Pilchuck High School Saturday, The Wildcats piled up nine wins Saturday and finished with 61 team points for the regular season, good enough to claim the Olympic Division title. Marysville placed second with 52 points in the seven-team division.

Oak Harbor now heads to the 32-team conference regional competition Saturday, March 19, at Bethel High School in Spanaway.

Only the top three teams in each category from each division qualify for the conference finals. Oak Harbor’s color guard No. 2, precision air rifle, sporter air rifle and physical strength No. 1 squads all placed first in the division and earned regional berths.

Oak Harbor’s armed drill, unarmed drill and physical strength No. 2 teams also finished in the top three and qualified.

The duos of Nathen Larsen and Jonathan Francisco (dual armed exhibition drill) and Alex Hartley and Noel Pangilinan (dual unarmed drill) earned regional berths as well.

At the MarysvillePilchuck meet, armed drill, sporter rifle, precision rifle and physical strength No. 1 all took first in team competition.

Winners in individual events were Austin McBride (precision rifle), Steven Richards (sporter rifle), Chante Powell (physical strength, ironwoman), Ria Bains (unarmed commander) and Larsen (armed commander).

An AAAA time is rare, according to NWAC coach Richard Taylor.

Miller, 10, won the 50yard freestyle in 30.57, an AAAA time and a new NWAC age-group record.

She also won the 100 butterfly.

Other winners were Lindsay Brown, 10 (200 individual medley); and Ashleigh Merrill, 12 (100 fly, 100 IM).

Miller, Brown and Merrill were named NWAC CoSwimmers of the Meet.

It was a step forward, nonetheless.

The Coupeville High School girls basketball team suffered a humbling 61-25 loss to Cashmere in the regional tournament Saturday at Wenatchee High School.

While the dark side of the lopsided loss is easy to see, the positive direction the program is heading is also clear.

Each season under the tulelage of the husband and wife coaching tandem of David and Amy King, the Wolves have climbed a rung up the competitive ladder.

Four season’s ago the Kings inherited a two-win team. The Wolves went 6-16 in their first year, then posted a 10-13 record in 2014.

Last season Coupeville won its first league title in 13 years, going 9-0 in Olympic League play and 15-7 overall.

This season, the Wolves again went unbeaten in conference, added a playoff win, advanced to the regional round of the state tournament for the first time in 10 years and finished with a 16-6 record.

Head coach David King acknowledged the latest step, painful as it may have been.

“Oh, yes — for sure,” he said when asked if it was better to have played at state and lost than to not have played at all.

“Who expected us to be here after the turnover of players we had,” he said.

The Wolves returned only one starter and two letter winners from last year’s team.

The story entering next season will be much different. The Wolves lose only one player to graduation, and, with a veteran squad, the Wolves could take the next progressive step — winning their first state game since 2005.

However, the loss of that one player, Makana Stone, will be significant.

Stone, a four-year starter and Olympic League MVP, scored 15 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in the loss to Cashmere. That effort put the finishing touches on a remark-

able feat, a double-double in every game this season.

When Stone exited the Cashmere game in the final minute, the Coupeville crowd responded with a standing ovation.

Going into the Cashmere game, Coupeville knew it was facing an uphill climb.

District champions such as Cashmere are rewarded by earning slots in the nearest regional tournaments. In this case, 10 miles down the road in Wenatchee. Coupeville, a third-place district team, had to travel nearly 200 miles.

The Bulldogs, too, are accustomed to the hype of the state tournament, the size of the crowds and the vastness of the arenas. This is Cashmere’s third consecutive trip to state; the Bulldogs went on to place third in the past two.

It was evident that the Wolves were rattled by big-game jitters, turning the ball over in six of their first seven possessions.

That helped the Bulldogs race to a 12-2 first-quarter lead.

Baskets by Kyla Briscoe, Mia Littlejohn and Stone cut the Cashmere lead to 14-8 in the second quarter, then the Bulldogs scored five points in the final 1:14 of the quarter to go up 19-8.

The run reached 14 points before Tiffany Briscoe dropped in a free throw for the Wolves, and Cashmere led 28-9 three minutes into the second quarter.

The score stood 39-15 at the end of the half and 55-22 after three quarters.

Stone was the only Wolf to generate much offense. Kailey Kellner had three points; Littlejohn, Kyla Briscoe and Lindsey Roberts two each; and Tiffany Briscoe one.

Stone had seven blocked shots to go with her 15 points and 13 rebounds.

In a fitting finish to her career, Stone received the sportsmanship award given to one player from each team after every state game.

Harris finishes among leaders Oak Harbor High School senior basketball player Dyllan Harris produced one of the most prolific scoring careers in school history.

Harris finished with 1,175 points in his four years, third most for a Wildcat.

Michael Washington Jr., with 1,526 points from 2009-12, and Brannon Stone, with 1,427 from 1995-98, are the only Wildcats to score more points.

Harris scored 120 points as a freshman, 277 as a sophomore, 367 as a junior and 411 as a senior.

His senior-year total is the ninth-best for a single season.

Dyllan Harris scored the third most points in OHHS boys basketball history.

469 points in 1993 to lead the list.

Harris averaged 20.55 points per game this year and 20.39 as a junior, the fourth- and fifth-best singleseason averages in OHHS history.

Stone averaged 21.8 points in 1998, while Ron Durant averaged 21.7 in 1977 and Drew Washington, Michael Washington Jr.’s younger brother, averaged 21.1 in 2014.

Harris scored 40 points against Skyline Dec. 28, tying for the fourth-best single game effort.

Pat McGreevey scored 49 points in a game in 1953, Drew Washington had 44 in 2014 and Michael Washington Jr. netted 41 in 2012.

St. Stephen’s concert to reunite Oak Harbor ‘institution’ with pupil

By RON NEWBERRY

rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Before any concert could be performed in Oak Harbor, Vernon Greenstreet knew some heavy lifting would need to be done.

So there Greenstreet was last Thursday, sizing up an electronic organ, then carefully helping three other men lift, then scoot the organ and a piano from one end of the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church sanctuary to the other.

Dollies aided the process.

“I don’t know if I’ll try that again,” said Greenstreet, who’s 84. “Not at my age.”

Greenstreet is preparing for a concert and reunion, of sorts, at St. Stephen’s.

On Sunday, March 6, he, mezzo soprano Gail Koetje Neil and pianist Dorothy Watson will give a concert at the church with no charge for admission.

The 2:30 p.m. concert will reunite Greenstreet, a beloved, former choral director at Oak Harbor High School, with Neil, one of his prized pupils.

“I haven’t sung with Vernon since I was in high school,” said Neil, a 1972 Oak Harbor graduate who now lives in Seattle.

“It’s going to be kind of fun. He was my first music mentor.”

The concert will feature music from classical and sacred to opera and show tunes.

Neil is well-known to Pacific Northwest classical music audiences, having sung as a featured artist and soloist with symphonies, ballets and operas as well as in concerts. She has been a regular with the Seattle Opera for 16 years.

“I was honored that he asked me,” Neil said of Greenstreet, who taught for more than 20 years at Oak Harbor High School, retiring in 1982. “It will be

Vernon Greenstreet served Oak Harbor for decades as teacher and church organist. fun to do. He’s been an Oak Harbor High School teacher for many years. Everybody knew Vernon Greenstreet.”

Greenstreet also has been a familiar face at St. Stephens, where he was organist from 1978 until 1993 after serving in that role at Oak Harbor First United Methodist Church.

He moved to Bellingham in 1996 but has returned to play at St. Stephen’s worship services in recent years.

“He is a devoted, gifted musician,” said the Rev. Rilla Barrett of St. Stephen’s. “I think the whole congregation is going to be excited to be welcoming the concert.

We’re very blessed to have him playing for us.”

Greenstreet also has performed at concerts at various Northwest venues, including stints with “The Mighty Wurlitzer,” the famous pipe organ at the Mount Baker Theatre in Bellingham. He has teamed up with Watson, a Vancouver, B.C. resident, in concerts there.

“I truly enjoy coming down and helping out at St. Stephens,” Greenstreet said. “I lived for 35 years in Oak Harbor so I have quite a bit of roots there and many fond memories of my school teaching.”

He’s also well acquainted with St. Stephens’ Allen electronic organ, which he helped design and install in 1982.

Jim Wagner, right, is assisted by Vernon Greenstreet, center, Rick Chapman, left, and Bob Taylor, who’s out of the frame, as they moved the electronic organ to the front of the sanctuary at St. Stephen’s Church in Oak Harbor last Thursday. Greenstreet is teaming up with his former high school pupil, mezzo soprano Gail Koetje Neil, and pianist Dorothy Watson for a free concert at the church at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, March 6.

Last week, he got more acquainted with it than he’d have liked, helping church members Jim Wagner, Bob Taylor and Rick Chapman move it and the piano from the rear of the sanctuary for the concert.

Neil, Greenstreet and Watson rehearsed together at the church last Friday.

Neil said it was the first time she’d seen Greenstreet since his wife’s memorial service in 2014.

For years, Shirley Greenstreet taught clarinet and piano in Oak Harbor while her husband was choral director. He also taught piano lessons from their home after he retired.

Vernon Greenstreet said he and his wife felt a deep connection to Oak Harbor and were grateful for the support from the community and high school administration when he was teaching.

“It’s good to be back with

old friends,” he said.

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church is located at 555 S.E. Regatta Drive in Oak Harbor. The sanctuary has seating for just over 250, which could make Sunday’s concert interesting.

“Because Vernon is such an institution in Oak Harbor, we’re expecting a crowd and looking forward to showing our hospitality and celebrating this music and talent,” Barrett said.

Whidbey’s SARATOGA ORCHESTRA joins Oak Harbor High School’s award-winning Harbor Singers for a set of concerts at 7 p.m., Saturday, March 5, at South Whidbey High School and 2:30 p.m., Sunday March 6, at Oak Harbor High School.

Music Director Anna Edwards will lead the ensemble in musical works by Vivaldi, Bach, Lauridsen and Wagner.

Edwards will showcase Oak Harbor choir director Darren McCoy’s select 55-voice Harbor Singers on Vivaldi’s “Gloria” and Pacific Northwest composer Morten Lauridsen’s “Veni Sancte Spiritus.”

The program also features J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 for Strings. Bach’s Six Brandenburg concerti were dedicated in 1721 and exemplify the rich textural writing of the baroque period.

The orchestra is pleased to welcome baroque violin specialist and founder of the Whidbey Island Music Festival, Tekla Cunningham, as the orchestra’s guest concertmaster for these concerts. Cunningham brings a vast knowledge and experience of baroque music, being a member of Pacific MusicWorks, American Bach Soloists, Seattle Baroque Orchestra and Musica Angelica.

This season, the Saratoga Orchestra is offering a pre-concert chat beginning 45 minutes prior to each concert to enhance the concertgoing experience. For this series, Edwards will be joined by McCoy to discuss the music and musical process for this series.

General admission tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for seniors/military.

Students under 18 are admitted free (under 14 must be accompanied by a paying adult). Tickets are available with cash and check at Moonraker Books in Langley, bayleaf in Coupeville and Click Music in Oak Harbor, and online at Brown Paper Tickets. Tickets also may be purchased at the door. n Whidbey resident Betty Bastai will show her new work entitled “What would you do to set them free?,” a collaboration with author Ruth Ozeki, at the WHATCOM READS! ART CHALLENGE GROUP ART EXHIBITION. The exhibition will take place from 6-9 p.m.

Friday, March 4, at Allied Arts Gallery, 1418 Cornwall Avenue, Bellingham.

NAVY CONTINUED FROM A1 a list of necessary projects, she said.

Like most things military, whether the project is ultimately approved depends on a number of factors, including the political climate.

“I don’t think anything is in stone until I see a shovel in the ground,” she said.

The hospital was built in 1968 and, although it’s been added onto and renovated over the years, it’s showing its age. For instance, heavy rain sends hospital personnel scrambling to sop up water leaks.

The project would include redesign of the hospital’s five labor and delivery rooms to closely match the size and design specifications of a modern maternity pavilion.

Moms also would recover in the same room.

“Having all the maternity care in one room will omit the need to transfer patients to a new room after delivery,” said hospital commanding officer Capt. Frederick McDonald.

“Additionally, we will see

improvements in dedicated spaces for triage, baby checks and lactation assistance.”

During renovation, the naval hospital would rely on its partnerships with Island Hospital in Anacortes and Whidbey General Hospital in Coupeville to make sure expectant mothers had continuity of care during the project.

Last year, 316 babies were born at the naval hospital, but the hospital offers many other services, including an urgent care clinic, dental clinic, pharmacy, general surgery, optometry, radiology, physical therapy and mental health services.

The hospital serves active duty personnel, their families and retired personnel as well as NATO Canadian forces and their families.

That number of potential patients is expected to grow in the next several years.

The number of personnel at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island is expected to increase in the next several years as the base prepares for the transition to the P-8 Poseidon and the likely addition of more EA-18G Growlers.

NURSES

CONTINUED FROM A1 Nurses whom the hospital wants to suspend or discharge must be given the opportunity to have a meeting beforehand, with a union representative present, to state their case, and the hospital has to present them with the charges in writing.

The hospital also agreed in the proposed contract that nurses will not automatically be disciplined for failing a drug test if there is no evidence they were impaired on the job. Off-duty recreational marijuana use also isn’t grounds for drug testing, since that drug is legal in

SCHOOL CONTINUED FROM A1 crowd too many children into common facilities like bathrooms, cafeterias and hallways.

The district asked staff and parents for feedback on the plan and received more than 500 responses — about two-thirds of them from parents.

The majority of respondents — 78 percent — rated the solution as “excellent” or “good.” Respondents raised concerns about transportation issues such as bus rides and start times, the impact on teachers and the transition for students.

Some people also expressed concerns that fifth graders might not be developmentally ready for a different school model.

One mother told the board her family bought a home on the west side of town

Washington state.

The union summary also includes issues floated by the hospital administration that the union bargaining team said it blocked. One of those was a proposal that nurses not be able to take a 15-minute uninterrupted rest break.

Another was a proposal that management could monitor union meetings.

A majority of nurses still must approve the agreement, said Ruth Schubert, a spokeswoman for the Washington State Nurses Association.

The contract, if accepted, would expire in April 2019.

“We are very happy with this contract and the bargaining team is recommend-

ing a ‘yes’ vote,” she said.

“The fact that we were able to fight off some really negative proposals from Whidbey General management is significant. We were able to fight the negative proposals off because the nurses stuck together and because of the wonderful support we got from the community.”

Under the terms of the agreement, the hospital cannot comment on the agreement until it is ratified, said Whidbey General spokesman Keith Mack.

If the contract is approved, nurses who signed it will get a bonus of up to $1,500, depending on their work status and when they were hired.

so their children could attend Hillcrest Elementary School and Oak Harbor Middle School, and the change will cause upheaval for her family. Kindergarten students at Hillcrest this year are already sent to Oak Harbor Elementary to deal with crowding at that school.

Board president Christine Abbott said she was pummeled with emails from parents who thought she and the board were making decisions with only money in mind and not the best interests of children. That’s far from the case, she said.

“My own kids are invested in this,” she said. “I have two kids … one will do fine and one will likely struggle. I’m hearing you and what you are saying.”

Some people raised questions and suggestions in the survey that indicate there is some confusion about what the school district can and cannot do.

People wondered, for instance, why the district can’t “re-open” Clover Valley Elementary or force the federal govern-

ment to pay for a new school.

Clover Valley, for instance, already is open and serves 400 students in early childhood and HomeConnection programs for homeschooled children to attend public schools.

The district does receive impact aid from the federal government but it’s used for daily operating costs and it’s about half of what it was not long ago. Getting the federal government to bump up that aid is a bit like squeezing water from a rock.

District officials have hired lobbyists at the state and federal level without much results.

In a memo to district employees, Superintendent Lance Gibbon said the district plans to double down on those efforts.

The district created a “frequently asked questions” memo that answers a range of questions about the decision. That document is available at the district’s website at www.ohsd.net

what appeared to be a hickey on the boy’s neck, the sheriff’s office reported.

The deputy questioned the occupants. The woman was identified as Jamie Wright, a Marysville resident. The boy was an Anacortes resident, the press release stated.

The deputy contacted the boy’s mother, who thought he was home in bed. She identified Wright as his drug-andalcohol counselor at Catholic Community Ser vices Northwest Recovery Center in Burlington.

n A full copy of the statement is available online at www.wsna.org

Wright was taken into custody on suspicion of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, booked and released pending further investigation. The boy was turned over to his mother.

Detectives obtained a search warrant to examine Wright’s cell phones as well as the alleged victim’s cell phone. An examination of the boy’s phone revealed evidence of a sexual relationship between him and Wright that may have been going on for months, the sheriff’s office reported.

Detective Ed Wallace said it appears from messages on the boy’s phone that he had met with Wright at the bridge

previously.

The department is communicating with detectives in Skagit County about the case.

Wallace said he hopes to download Wright’s phone before referring the case to the prosecutor’s office for possible charges.

The sheriff’s office reported that investigation is ongoing and additional information will be released when it becomes available.

The Northwest Recovery Center was notified about the case. Catholic Community Ser vices Nor thwest Recovery Center confirmed Tuesday that Wright no longer works for the organization.
