Breach of contract claim unresolved
jessie@whidbeynewsgroup.com
A half dozen members of the Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society gathered for an emergency meeting Monday evening to plan an effort to save a tree threatened by development. After Laura Renninger, founder of the group, briefed the group about the details — complete with architectural drawings, photos and paperwork — several of the members drove out to the Rose Hill neighborhood on the northeast side of the city to see the sprawling Garry oak tree, which Renninger estimates to be at least a 100 years old. “It just makes my stomach churn to think about losing this tree,” Ellen Giles said. “It’s hard to put a

Court upholds ruling in Emerson lawsuit
Island County once again prevailed in litigation involving Kelly Emerson, a former county commissioner. The long saga is still not over, however. Monday, the Washington State Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court summary judgment in favor of Island County, throwing out four claims that Emerson and her husband, Kenneth, raised in their second lawsuit against the county. The Emersons’ breach of contract claim is still unresolved, but both sides agreed to arbitration. “We are still waiting for the Emersons to work with the county’s attorney to choose an arbitrator to settle the breach of contract issue,” Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson said Monday. “We’ve been waiting for a better part of a year for them to agree to that. Once that’s done we can wash our hands of this once and for all.” Issues raised in the two lawsuits filed by the Emersons against the county during years of wrangling with the Planning Department were many and complicated, but the central question was whether the Emersons had a wetland on their Camano Island property that impacted their ability to build. Ironically, county staff finally determined in 2014 that no wetland existed on the property, but the litigation continued. The appeals court’s unpublished opinion recites the facts “in the light most favorable to the Emersons.” The issue arose in 2010, when Kenneth Emerson started constructing a sunroom without first obtaining a permit.

People who attended Democratic presidential caucuses in Island County Saturday echoed the sentiments of caucus-goers statewide. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed a victory over Hillary Clinton at all four caucus sites in the county. That was particularly true in Oak Harbor, where Sanders received 72 delegates and Clinton 21. In statewide totals, Sanders received 73 percent of the vote at caucuses while Clinton got 27 percent. Still, people spoke passionately about both candidates during the caucus at Oak Harbor Middle School, which drew more than 600 residents.

Trailer fire shuts down State Highway 20 Friday n A trailer fire Friday night shut down State Highway 20 south of Oak Harbor for more than an hour. Firefighters responded to a call just after 8 p.m. for a trailer on fire off Highway 20, about 500 yards past the entrance to the Eagle Vista neighborhood, said North Whidbey Fire and Rescue chief Mike Brown. The travel trailer was parked outside a home and the owner
had allowed people to stay in it. It’s not clear what started the fire, he said. No one was hurt. The state patrol routed cars through the Scenic Heights neighborhood while firefighters doused the trailer. “It was a melted shell by the time we put it out,” he said. The Oak Harbor Fire Department and Navy Region Northwest Fire and Emergency Services also responded.
School board moves funds to cover influx of students n Oak Harbor School Board approved two budget extensions Monday night to increase the amount of money in the Oak Harbor School District general fund budget and capital projects fund. The extensions were necessary mainly because more students showed up than expected, said Vicki Williams, director of business services. Right now, about 100 more students than anticipated are enrolled. Also, the bill for some big-ticket items didn’t come in until this year. The board agreed to increase the general fund budget by about $1.1 million to a total of $61,478,837 and to transfer around $700,000 to the capital
projects fund to pay for more portable classrooms. Enrollment district wide is swelling in part because of Navy growth but the district also needs more classroom space after state lawmakers approved smaller class sizes and all-day kindergarten. Normally, there’s enough wiggle room in the budget to accommodate unexpected expenses, but the enrollment increase is significant, she said. Williams is thinking ahead to next year’s budget with even more children expected to enroll. “How do we estimate enrollment?” she asked. “We know we’ve got more kids coming in but how many are coming and what grades will they be in?”

Firefighters Chris Hiteshew, Jesse Bosley, Sam Fain, Gregg Alonzo and Mike King from Navy Region Northwest Fire & Emergency Services were recognized Monday by the Naval Installations Command for saving the life of an Oak Harbor man who fell down an abandoned well. The men were on duty in November when the call came. The Oak Harbor Fire Department was on scene first and firefighter Chris Hiteshew said he didn’t quite believe what he was hearing on the drive over. “They were saying the well was 80 feet deep,” he said. “I thought they must have said eight feet.” The federal firefighters arrived just a few minutes after the Oak Harbor Fire Department, whom they train and work with frequently. Hiteshew took a look down the well and realized the well, indeed, was far deeper than a few feet. The man, who lives on Southwest Rockrose Drive, noticed a depression in his front yard and decided to investigate. He lives in a newer development across the street from Fort Nugent Park — a typical suburban neighborhood with neat, green lawns. There was no record that a well existed on the property. As he dug into the ground with a shovel, the ground col-

The man hit a pipe running across the opening, which knocked him upright and he ended up falling about 40 feet before getting wedged partway down the shaft. The man, who declined to talk about the incident in public, had his cell phone but had no reception. He screamed for help for more than two hours before two teenage neighbors saw his wheelbarrow and decided to wander over. Merrill said even they couldn’t hear him screaming from the top of the well. The man flashed his cell phone at them and they could see the light.

They called 911. “He was scared out of his mind but he landed on his feet,” Merrill said. The two departments train weekly together and they were prepared to quickly set up a belay and pulley system to get the man out. Within about 20 minutes of arriving, the firefighters were able to pull the man out of the hole. He was banged and bruised but not seriously injured. The fire chiefs from both departments paid him and his wife a visit a few days later. The man’s wife pulled them inside. “He was in tears,” Merrill said. “He couldn’t say ‘thank you’ enough.” The chief said all of his

Island Drug announces new pharmacist in OH

Historic downtown Oak Harbor is getting a new but established business and, hopefully, for the owner, business will be blooming. Midway Florist, which owner Rob McGowen said was located at 91 Northeast Midway Boulevard for “at least 37 years,” is moving to 1090 S.E. Pioneer Way. The shop’s sign, which stood outside the building the whole while, will move too, and the business will keep its same name, McGowen said. “We’ll still be on Midway, but 10 blocks south, at the corner of Pioneer,” he said. “There’s a sadness to leaving a place that’s been here so long, but I’m looking forward to the move. We’ll have the same quality and service, and we hope customers will
n Teresa Avery, a registered pharmacist, has taken a position at Island Drug’s Oak Harbor store, that company said. She has more than 25 years’ experience working in clinics and pharmacies in Seattle and Maui. Teresa has also worked in the behavioral and mental-health setting. Most recently she initiated an opiate overdose prevention program at Swedish Pavilion Pharmacy in Edmonds. At Island Drug, she will help launch a speAVERY cialty pharmacy program, which will provide access to novel drug therapies for patients who would otherwise have to rely on mail-order pharmacies for delivery and monitoring. Teresa and her husband, Paul, recently relocated to the island from Seattle.

During that interval, orders will still be taken over the phone and online. The florist’s five-year lease was near expiring, and the landlord was eager to sell the building, McGowen said. He couldn’t afford to buy the building and will be renting again at the new location, which he said will have a mellow color scheme: shades of blue and shades of tan, “like the seaside,” he said. The new space is one-third smaller — 1,200 square feet versus the current 1,800 — but much of the current space is excess storage area or isn’t being used efficiently anyway, he said.

Phone and Internet orders, which make up fully 85 percent of the store’s business, will be handled with more efficiency. The new location, in the same two-story building as Northwest Dental, was previously home to a pawn shop and a mini-mart. Most recently, it housed Haze Hookah Lounge, which opened in April 2013 and closed sometime after May 2014. Apartments occupy the upper floor. Parking will be ample, thanks to nearby lots shared with Northwest Dental and neighbor Island Liquidation, McGowen said. The florist shop was opened in 1979 by Sharron and Orv Stauber, McGowen said.

Hospital name change is a sound investment SOUND OFF
By BRIAN T. JONES Great things are happening in our local health care system, WhidbeyHealth. I am prompted to write this email as I watch the comments in the paper, on social media and my own conversations with people in our community. The negativity surrounding the name change to WhidbeyHealth is, in my opinion, misplaced. Having worked the past 18 years in the healthcare industry, I’ve been fortunate to travel to more than 1,000 hospitals. My profession is to go to these hospitals and their surrounding systems to demonstrate how technology can improve patient experiences, point-of-care and general outcomes by healthcare providers. I believe I have a very extensive background on how to diagnose the quality of a health care system. Over the past 10 years, health care has changed. It has gone from a very academic industry focused on healing people any way possible to a customer servicedriven industry where how a patient is treated is as important as the quality of care provided. With these changes, our little critical access hospital has developed into a full healthcare delivery network. If you watched closely over the past ten years, you have seen the best medical practices up and down the island be acquired by Whidbey General. You had to watch closely because all these practices maintained their identity and kept their people in place. These acquisitions were important to the growth of these practices as well as beneficial to the healthcare system. Being affiliated with the hospital allows providers to participate in more insurance contracts, provide more specialty, share technology, provide more services, see more patients and open lines of communication which had previously not been available to providers. You might ask why they acquired these practices, and the reality is there has been a plan in place for years to provide what is called a “continuum of care” on Whidbey. What this means is the people who take care of us when we are sick can take care of us from birth to the end of our lives. It means the sharing of life-saving clinical data when you are brought to the emergency room unconscious, unresponsive or not breathing. It means investment in technology and recruitment of better providers from medical assistants, to nurses to physicians. People have asked me, why would they change their SEE JONES, A7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Election
Caucus a well-run democratic machine Editor, It was a real pleasure to attend the Central Whidbey Democratic Party caucus on March 26. Our organizer Gary McIntyre did a great job of organizing, explaining the process, and making sure everyone got their chance to speak for their candidate. His support volunteers also were very helpful and knowledgeable. Of course, the best part was having two highly qualified candidates, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, to consider. The caucus ran as democracy-inaction with reasoned opinions about functional issues that are essential to the future of our country. People were courteous and articulate, respecting other peoples’ opinions — well maybe one sore-head. What a difference from some of what we’ve been seeing in “debates” on TV from the other party. None of the discussion was about blaming immigrants for our prob-
lems or starting new wars overseas. Everything was positive — fair taxing, health reform and education support. I hope this grassroots enthusiasm for a positive future really takes hold as we approach the November elections. John Olsen Coupeville

This was by far the wettest winter on record for our region following our driest, most forest-fired summer ever. Tornadoes and hail here? The eastern and southern United States was slammed by extreme weather events all year. Meanwhile, the FBI and several state attorneys general are investigating Exxon for their role in the global warming cover up. They knew 40 years ago it would be a problem. Turns out, fracking for natural gas contributes more to climate chaos

than burning coal due to methane leaks. No wonder even the Rockefeller Foundation joined the multi-trillion dollar fossil fuel divestment campaign. So, are you finally ready to break free from fossil fuels? May 13-15 you are invited to engage in a global effort challenging the morality and ethics of continuing to mine, refine and burn fossil fuels. Concerned people from communities throughout our region and beyond will converge for a non-violent mass action at the Shell/Tesoro refinery in Anacortes. The refinery is the largest source of carbon pollution in our state, it endangers downwind communities and workers with toxic chemical emissions and buys tar sands crude oil from the brutally destructive strip-mines of Alberta. Meanwhile, corporate officials want to increase both explosive oil train shipments and toxic chemical production facilities there. This is one of five actions in the United States. Internationally, other destructive, industrial sites will be targeted that week. In at least 10 other countries, from the Niger Delta of west Africa to the Brazil’s Amazon Basin to the coal strip-mine zones of rural Wales, people will protest. Gary Piazzon Coupeville

Page 1 story reports on pork shipment to Seattle 100 years ago (1916 — Oak Harbor News)
n “Chris. Weidenbach and James Donahue shipped pork to the Everett and Seattle markets on Wednesday,” read a page-one news item in its entirety. n A front-page story reported that “over 70 guests assembled at the Rogers home Saturday evening last, the occasion being a farewell party to Mr. and Mrs. Rogers and family. Whist was played, social conversations engaged in, music listened to and a splendid supper partaken of.” n The news editor visited Langley and “was agreeably surprised at the evidences of thrift and improvement on every hand.” Langley had, he said, “a splendid area of country close around, a fine new high school building and a new electric light plant.” The Langley State Bank had over $40,000 in deposits, about equal to Oak Harbor’s, he said. n Oak Harbor Fruit Growers Association prepared to open its cannery. In its second season, the cannery was still losing money, but “we have no cause to be discouraged at this time, the front-page story said. “Our product wherever used is highly spoken of,” it said. n Four pounds of dried apples cost 25 cents at The Cash Store. One hundred pounds of nails cost $4 at Henry Muyskens.
75 years ago (1941 — Farm Bureau News) n Langley’s new Catholic church was set to be blessed and dedicated. n The American Guernsey Cattle club, of Peterborough, N.H., sold Reddy’s Island Boy 296640, a registered Guernsey bull, to Horace Finn of Clinton, according to a front-page story. n The “We Women” column discussed the question, “What makes a baby go like a duck to water to some people and yell like thunder when approached by others?” n The “High School Breeze” column reported that the Ag. III class was studying know-tying, which required knowing how to tie 17 different knots. n Tickets to the Flower Show at Seattle’s Civic Center were offered for sale at 45 cents each. n Wallpaper cleaner cost 10 cents a can at Dyer’s Red & White food store.
50 years ago (1966 — Whidbey News Times) n High school senior Dana Duzan, Miss Navy Whidbey Island for 1966, received heaps of gifts from Oak Harbor merchants at her coronation ceremony. n Federal legislation provided funding to build a hospital and dental clinic
at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. n Langley Port Commissioner Bob Porter unveiled a $1 million plan for a new, six-acre port that would accommodate 210 small boats and 25 commercial fishing vessels. n Fresh crabs cost 39 cents per pound at Payless in Oak Harbor and Freeland.
25 years ago (1991— Whidbey News Times) n Oak Harbor’s school board declared an emergency and called for a levy and bond election May 26 that together would raise over $10 million to build and operate a new elementary school. n Sixteen Oak Harbor businesses were burgled between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, with a total loss of over $2,000. n Work continued to build a network of bike trails running the length of Whidbey Island, though one proponent cautioned it might take “several years” to establish it. n Housing prices in Oak Harbor were high, buoyed by strong demand. An early poll on assessments showed waterfront properties were selling for the highest prices in history. n The first troops began returning from Saudi Arabia to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

JONES CONTINUED FROM A6 name? Seems like a waste of money to pay $150,000 to rebrand the hospital? They didn’t do it just to make a change, they did it to reflect what they are: a healthcare delivery network. Is it necessary? Yes. Over the past couple of years I have seen our community attract excellent physician talent and adopt policies that stress quality of care and quality of the patient’s experience. This is not the same hospital you visited even five years ago. For the first time ever in my 35 years as a resident of Oak Harbor, I’ve seen the executives out in the community accepting your feedback, introducing you to their newer services and partnering with groups to make your healthcare experience on Whidbey Island the best it can be. I would like to applaud CEO Geri Forbes and her team and I ask you, “keep going!” Continue to find ways to improve quality
and increase access to care. My wish list is for WhidbeyHealth to add a cardiac catheterization lab so people experiencing chest pain or in cardiac distress aren’t shipped to Mount Vernon or Everett. The actions taken by the commissioners and executives of WhidbeyHealth are going to allow us to live longer. Please continue to grow this tremendous organization and operate it in a financially sound way. I, for one, support WhidbeyHealth completely. When I get sick, when my wife gets sick, when my kids get sick, they take care of us. Their investment in telling our community who they are and what they can do is a wise and financially sound investment. n Brian T. Jones is vice president of CareEvolve.com and a resident of Oak Harbor.
Garry Oak Planting Essay Contest Garry Oak trees are the namesake of Oak Harbor and a beautiful treasure on Whidbey Island. New Garry Oaks must be planted in order to maintain our oaks for years to come. We’ve lost many through development. Until recently, neither city or residents planted young Garry Oaks. To raise awareness and get more young trees planted on private property, the Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society, in partnership with the Whidbey News-Times, is offering five saplings to the winners of this essay contest. The healthy saplings are ten years old and around six feet high! Saplings should be planted in a sunny, well-planned spot on Whidbey Island in a business’ landscaping or homeowner’s yard! Whidbey residents are asked to write and share about their favorite Garry Oak and why they would like to plant a tree. A selection of the essays will be published in the Whidbey News-Times and winners announced before Arbor Day in April.
The deadline is April 15.

Pitchers power Oak Harbor to a pair of wins By JIM WALLER
jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com
A pair of stellar pitching performances this past week carried the home Oak Harbor High School baseball team to its first two wins of the season. Behind starter Tyler Snavely, the Wildcats defeated Monroe 5-4 Friday. Avery Aguirre followed with a 2-0 shutout of Cascade Monday. Oak Harbor (2-1-1) wraps up the non-league portion of its schedule when its hosts unbeaten Ferndale (5-0) at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 31.
Late rallies Most of the offensive fireworks in the Monroe game came in the later innings. The teams carried a 1-1 tie into the sixth inning, then Oak Harbor tallied four runs to go up 5-1. Snavely held the Bearcats to only one run and four hits before tiring in the seventh. Monroe used a double, error, wild pitch and double to score three runs to get back into the game.

Avery sharp Against Cascade, Aguirre used good location and a nasty curve ball to fire a three-hit shutout, striking out five and walking none. “It was a well-pitched game,” VanDam said. “He was throwing his change-up and breaking ball for strikes.” VanDam was also “very pleased” with the effort of Oak Harbor’s errorless defense.

OAK TREE CONTINUED FROM A1
price on something like this.” On the other hand, removal of the tree would make room for a new townhouse just as housing is getting tight in the city ahead of an influx of Navy personnel. Residents of the Rose Hill neighborhood received notices last week that Waldron Construction is seeking “a reasonable use exception” to the oak tree protection in city code. The tree impacts two side-by-side lots in the development. Development Services Director Steve Powers said a property owner seeking to develop his or her land may receive a reasonable use exception if the application of critical areas regulations would deny all reasonable
economic use of the property. The decision will ultimately be up to the hearing examiner, but planning staff will analyze the project and make a recommendation. Powers said planners are just beginning to look at the issue. He added that mitigation could be required if Waldron is allowed to cut down the tree. Such mitigation could, for example, include the planting of oak trees off site. Yet Renninger and other members of the group feel that the tree can and should be left alone. They also feel it’s a little suspicious that the tree was just “discovered.” The city initially approved the construction of a duplex on the two lots with the oak 10 years ago, but the over-
sight was recently caught — necessitating the reasonable use exception. The two lots are the only ones in the neighborhood that haven’t been developed. “The existence of the Garry Oak was not known at the time of the development approval,” the city’s notice states. Powers said there was somehow a gap in the information when the plan went through the preliminary and final plat process. “We can’t really explain it,” he said, adding that he didn’t know if the earlier approval will affect the hearing examiner’s decision. The Rose Hill planned residential development was approved in 2006 and Waldron later purchased it, according to Renninger. Members of the Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society
hope that pressure from the community can persuade either city leaders or the company to find an alternative to the ax. Renninger suggested that the company could build on the site without removing the tree through a variance or a boundary line adjustment. Or the property could be turned into a park while the nearby pocket park could be developed for housing. Or perhaps the city could purchase the property. “We want every effort made to spare the tree,” Renninger said. She said the tree was in the group’s inventory of Garry oak trees and was especially significant because it seems to mark the northernmost boundary of the oak grove that once ran to the water. “If they allow this to happen it sets a precedent that
RULING CONTINUED FROM A1 bor anonymously alerted Kelly Emerson’s opponent in the election for Island County commissioner. A complaint alleging damage to a wetland reached the county Planning Department and an inspector slapped a stop-work order on the framing. Kenneth Emerson then applied for a building permit. Island County said it had information indicating the presence of a wetland on the property and sent a violation letter to the Emersons, asking them to submit a wetland report. Failure to do so would result in an enforcement order and fines. The Emersons did not submit a wetland report. “Feeling certain there were no wetlands on the property, they filed a lawsuit against individuals they believed were engaging in a misuse of power to discredit Kelly Emerson’s political campaign,” the Appeals Court opinion states.

The Department of Ecology and county repeatedly offered to perform an onsite inspection of the property at no cost, but the Emersons refused because they maintained neither of those entities could make an unbiased determination. In June 2013, the county and Emersons reached a settlement. The Emersons agreed to pay a $5,000 fine, withdraw an administrative appeal and submit a wetland report that strictly complied with the state’s wetland manual. The county agreed to process the permit application in good faith after receiving the wetland report. The Emersons submitted a new wetland report on Sept. 16, 2013. The county asked a few questions and then renewed the request to inspect the property. The Emersons rejected the request and declared a breach of the settlement agreement.

The Emersons filed their second lawsuit against the county in November 2013. The county sent the wetland report to the Department of Ecology, which concluded that the report did not comply with the wetland manual. The lawsuit, however, allowed the county to access the property under the discovery rule. No wetlands were discovered and Island County issued a building permit to the Emersons. The Emersons’ lawsuit alleges breach of contract, unlawful “takings,” due process violations, common law fraud and damages from governmental action. The couple and county agreed to arbitration in the breach-of-contract claim. A trial court dismissed all the other claims on summary judgment. The Emersons asked for reconsideration, but the motion was denied. The Emersons then appealed to the Court of Appeals. Kelly Emerson did not return a call for comment on the Appeals Court decision.

Case made for parks support group By RON NEWBERRY
rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com
The journey hasn’t always been smooth in the four years since Jon Crimmins returned to Whidbey Island to take on a new role. So last week when his walk from his vehicle to the Oak Harbor Library was interrupted by a gust of wind that sent his laptop and projector tumbling to the ground below, Crimmins chalked it up as a minor irritant and stayed the course, ultimately delivering a presentation he felt was timely. “Let’s see if this projector still works,” Crimmins said, maintaining his humor. “Well, it’s warming up.” Crimmins came to Oak Harbor last Wednesday night to provide background and to share support for a concept that has been on his mind since he expanded his scope and became the first area manager of Central Whidbey State Parks in 2012. Crimmins’ presentation was part of the first formal meeting to explore starting a friends group that would support seven of the island’s nine state parks that fall under his Central Whidbey domain — Fort Casey, Fort Ebey, Ebey’s Landing, Keystone Spit, Joseph Whidbey, South Whidbey and Possession Point. Deception Pass and Dugualla state parks are managed separately and supported by their own foundation. A centralized advocacy group to both support and coordinate volunteer efforts at all seven state parks inside the Central Whidbey management area is something Crimmins started thinking about when he started his new job, but didn’t want to wish for too much, too soon at a time when state parks already were undergoing dramatic change. Huge state budget cuts led to a reduction in staff, the implementation of the Discover Pass and new centralized management across the state parks system, turning three separate management areas into one called Central Whidbey. He supported the formation of the Friends of South Whidbey State Park, figuring the timing wasn’t right to explore a group with a broader reach. “I didn’t think it was going to be possible,” said
Crimmins, who spent eight years as a park ranger at South Whidbey State Park, followed by three at Fort Flagler, near Port Townsend, before coming back to his hometown of Coupeville. “I thought it would take quite a long time in order to bring in the north end. And I think if you looked at it individually with parks, there is that problem that you are going to end up with too many groups. And that’s what I was struggling with. Do I want to start a Fort Casey group? Do I want to start a Fort Ebey group? At one point, some folks came forward and said, ‘we’re going to start a friends group for Joseph Whidbey.’ It’s like, ‘Oh my goodness.’ There are so many boards involved in that.” Crimmins and his limited staff now manage an area that stretches from Oak Harbor to Clinton that was once run by three onsite park rangers and their staffs five years ago. The operation is now more streamlined and efficient with shared resources and is centrally based at Fort Casey, where staff is dispatched to address needs when they arise at all seven of the parks. The needs are many. The reduction in staff following the 2011 cuts led to shorter camping seasons at two parks, reduced office hours at all parks, some restroom closures and summer interpretive programs being placed on hold. Crimmins recognized almost immediately that the new system would pose unique challenges. In December 2012, two aggressive dogs were abandoned at Fort Ebey State Park and attacked two hikers, injuring one. A five-day dog hunt ensued, closing the park and draining park resources, impacting other parks in the process. “We had other projects going,” Crimmins said. “It basically, because of our limited staff, shut us down.” Despite some of the inconveniences, the scenic waterfront parks remain popular. About 1.5 million people annually visit Central Whidbey State Parks, which combined, is only slightly less than the number that comes annually to Deception Pass, the state’s most visited park. Crimmins credited volunteer groups and individuals as vital to the parks’ past, present and future successes.

Matt Plush, right, addresses a group that gathered at the Oak Harbor Library last week to talk about forming the Friends of Central Whidbey State Parks, an advocacy group for seven state parks on Whidbey Island. The next meeting is April 19.
Jon Crimmins has managed the Central Whidbey State Parks area since 2012. A number of volunteer groups such as the Fort Casey Volunteer Battalion, Keepers of the Admiralty Head Lighthouse, Lighthouse Docents and Friends of South Whidbey State Park are responsible for the interpretive programs and tours at their parks. Other groups and individuals tackle trail maintenance or participate in park cleanups or other projects. The list of present needs remains large with parks needing help with lawn mowing, litter patrol, opening and closing gates and other chores. However, the biggest need that has become more evident is centralized coordination and support. That’s what drew a modest group to the Oak Harbor Library last week to listen and participate in discussion
to consider forming what they are calling the Friends of Central Whidbey State Parks. The idea would be to create a nonprofit umbrella group to support the individual groups already helping at all seven of the parks and to direct volunteer efforts to the projects of most urgent need. Oak Harbor residents Barb and Ed Adams have taken the lead on making the friends group a reality, spurred by their passion to help the parks they visit regularly. They helped organize last week’s meeting to measure people’s enthusiasm and interest in the idea and to brainstorm. About 20 people attended, representing various volunteer groups affiliated with the parks from across the island, including the Fort Casey Volunteer Battalion, Whidbey Island Bicycle Club and Friends of South Whidbey
State Parks. Barb Adams, a retired certified public accountant, described the first meeting as part of feasibility study to gain input and assess interest before committing the time and resources required to form a nonprofit. She said the enthusiasm and knowledge shared last week was exciting and hopes to see an even larger show of support at the group’s next meeting, scheduled for 7-8:30 p.m., April 19, at the Coupeville Library. It is that meeting where the group hopes that people interesting in taking on administrative responsibilities such as board positions and other roles in building a nonprofit will begin. The merits of the idea were expressed. Steve Kobylk, a longtime dedicated parks volunteer from Coupeville and member of the Fort Casey Volunteer Battalion, said the formation of a 501c3 nonprofit umbrella group would allow his group to request grant money from other organizations. Dan Olvera, wing maintenance officer at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, spoke about the large number of sailors on base who are regularly looking for community service projects and the value of a centralized point of contact to set this work in motion. Matt Plush, president of
the Whidbey Island Bicycle Club, expressed interested in the group and how a larger volunteer network from one distribution list might be interested in helping his mountain biking group groom trails at Fort Ebey. “From talking with people in charge of these other groups, they’re really interested in having these broader networks,” said Margie Parker, a big supporter of the friends concept. “It would be advocacy and support for all of these groups. “People can’t donate to the (Central Whidbey) parks right now and that’s a big function to a friends group is to be able to take donations.” Sharon Sharpe, a state parks program specialist, is serving as a liaison to friends groups. Should the Friends of Central Whidbey State Parks get off the ground, the Friends of South Whidbey would simply absorb into the new group and become a complementary component, said Ann Fruechte, a Friends of South Whidbey member who attended the meeting. Parker proposed that each state park be represented by its own board member. Those interested in becoming a parks volunteer or joining the friends group may call 360-678-4519 or send an email to HelpWhidbeyStateParks@ gmail.com

CAUCUS CONTINUED FROM A1 Young men and women, couples with children, elderly folks and others crowded into groups by precinct and took turns speaking, trying to convince their neighbors to support their candidates. “He has ideas,” Shannon Olson, a Sanders supporter, told her precinct. “Taxing Wall Street is not a bad policy. We bailed them out.” “It’s time for them to bail us out.” Diane Barner, on the other hand, argued that Clinton is the smart choice in ensuring that a Democrat makes it into the White House. She said Sanders’ ideas aren’t practical. “Pie in the sky is not going to get it done,” she said. “It’s just going to separate the nation further.” Angie Homola, former commissioner and current state senator candidate, was in charge of the caucus in Oak Harbor. It went well, with regular folks ardently and civilly advocating for their candidate. “It was the epitome of the democratic process,” she said. According to numbers released by the Island County Democrats, Sanders took home 219 delegates
WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM
to Clinton’s 97 delegates. Besides Oak Harbor, Sanders claimed 74 delegates on South Whidbey to Clinton’s 33; 32 delegates in Coupeville to Clinton’s 14, 72 delegates in Oak Harbor to Clinton’s 21, and 41 delegates on Camano to Clinton’s 29. Of the four locations, South Whidbey had the largest turnout by far with 1,547 participants. So many people showed up that some precincts spilled into the courtyard outside the South Whidbey High School and cars were parked on Maxwelton Road all the way to the light at the highway. In addition, Coupeville had 569 participants, Oak Harbor 611, and Camano Island 631. Including surrogate votes — absentee ballots — about 3,360 people participated in the caucuses. That’s about 800 more people than the 2,560 at the county’s 2008 caucuses. Statewide, the caucuses elect about 27,000 delegates, which are then cut legislative district caucuses and county conventions to 1,400 delegates. The final delegates to the national convention in July are picked at congressional district caucuses and the state convention in May to arrive at the final 118. The Republicans will divide up 44 delegates to send to their national convention based on results of the state’s May 24 presidential primary.

CONTINUED FROM A1 officer. He studied criminal justice at Washington State University and one of his first jobs was working at the Whitman County jail. He saw firsthand what a life gone wrong looks like. In this job, he wants to make a connection with kids and steer them away from mistakes. “Every one of these kids has potential,” he said. “I see that.” Oak Harbor Police Department hired Padrta in 2014, and he spent a year as a patrol officer. He described it as challenging work — any call that came in he would answer. When the school resource officer position opened, Padrta said he was eager to step up. He said he feels as if he can do the most good working with young people. “It feels like I’m making a difference.” Oak Harbor is a good fit for him. He finished high school at Colfax, a small town in Eastern Washington. He prefers to work in a small town. During high school, he was a popular kid who participated in student body leadership and was voted
“Mr. Bulldog” — the male equivalent of winning the town pageant. He described himself as “a goofy kid.” Starting work as a police officer at a high school was not a cake walk. During his first days at the job, students yelled a few nasty things at him. He rolled with it. Padrta said he views his role as partly about being an ambassador. He wants to combat negative stereotypes of police in the media and form positive relationships with young people. The police are here to help, he said. “It’s inevitable when you turn on TV news, the police are put in a very negative light,” he said. “This gives me an opportunity to communicate with kids.” “Maybe this isn’t like what you see on TV.” Padrta’s days are varied. He’s typically in close contact with the high school administration, particularly the deans. He deals with more serious discipline issues but his role is more expansive. He also works for the entire district and, on any day, he might be visiting one of the middle schools or giving a safety presentation at an elementary school. He’s prepared to deal with emergencies. He’s training

Officer Nathan Padrta chats with Oak Harbor High School juniors Adam Nelson and Noah Marshall. Padrta views his job as a chance to form positive relationships with young people. for worse case scenarios, the kind parents don’t want to think about. He’s attending training, for instance, on how to handle a school shooter. “I want to say that would never happen here,” he said. “But I bet they would have said that in Marysville or Columbine. I would be the first person on scene.” Barely a month into the job, he was one of the first people on scene when an elderly visitor to the school collapsed and needed CPR. He booked it to the front office to grab a defibrillator that was used to restart the man’s heart. The hardest part of his job is confronting a student who just doesn’t care, he said. The juvenile justice system is set up to rehabilitate kids and get them back on the right track. Sometimes they just won’t. “That’s difficult,” he said. “They are throwing away that potential.” For the police department, having an officer stationed at the high school makes sense. “The way I look at it is the school district is a population of several thousand kids — it’s a large percentage of our population,” said Police Chief Ed Green. “It just makes sense to
have an officer who is a specialist with kids.” They also want to break down barriers and let young people see the police aren’t “bad,” he said. “They can see us up close. We’re here to help.” Padrta’s youth is an advantage, said assistant superintendent Steve King. He brings an innate knowledge of social media and other cultural issues students navigate. That said, Padrta is also “an old soul.” “He has an easy way about him,” King said. “He’s young enough to be approachable. Students can connect with him.” The school district added the school resource officer position in 1997. Having an officer on scene heads off problems, King said. Pat Felger, a dean at the high school for more than 20 years, said she noticed a perceptible difference in the culture of the high school after an officer was stationed on site. “Having someone here prevents a lot of problems,” King said. Padrta has a four-year contract to work at the high school and, for the foreseeable future, that’s where he said he’d like to remain. “I’m pretty high on this job.”
