Police use armored vehicle to arrest suspected child rapist

By JESSIE STENSLAND jessie@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Oak Harbor police brought out its SWAT team and armored vehicle Thursday to arrest a suspected child rapist at a trailer park on Crosby Avenue.

Police Chief Ed Green said the officers brought out the big guns because the suspect, Michael W. Miller, has a history of being combative with law enforcement.

Miller was taken into custody without incident but was taken to the hospital because of a heart condition.

Chief Criminal Prosecutor Eric Ohme charged Miller, 57, in Island County Superior Court Tuesday with four counts of rape of a child.

Miller is accused of raping and molesting three girls as young as 8 years old over several years, according to a report by Detective Lisa PowersRang.

One of the girls told Miller’s wife about the abuse earlier this year but the woman told the girl to keep it a secret, saying that her parents would be mad at her “for letting him do that to her,” the report states.

The woman could face a criminal charge.

“Witness tampering is a serious crime,” Ohme said. “Anytime that we have evidence that a person has tried to convince crime victims or witnesses not to come forward or not to be truthful, we consider charging witness tampering.”

The abuse stopped after the girl told Miller’s wife. Child Protective Services reported to police last week that the 11-year-old child disclosed the years of abuse.

The police report describes an incident in which Miller molested two young girls during a sleepover at his

home. One of the girls cried as he was molesting her; the other girl held her friend’s hand “because she didn’t know what to do,” Powers-Rang wrote.

The day after Miller was arrested, the mother of a 7-year-old girl contacted police and said the girl disclosed being raped by Miller, the detective wrote.

The woman and girl no longer live in Oak Harbor.

Miller is being held in Oak Harbor jail. His bail is set at $250,000.

Miller’s criminal history includes misdemeanor arrests for obstruction of police officers, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, court documents indicate.

If convicted of the charges against him, Miller would face an indeterminate sentence of up to life in prison, with a standard sentence range of 20 to 26.5 years in prison.

Drug take-back is Saturday at various island locations Whidbey law enforcers and DEA will give the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by collecting potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 30 at the Island County Sheriff’s Office, Coupeville Marshals Office or Oak Harbor Police Department.

The DEA cannot accept liquids or needles — only pills or patches. The service is free and anonymous.

Last September, Americans turned in 350 tons of prescription drugs at sites across the nation. When those results are combined with what was collected in its 10 previous Take Back events, the DEA and its partners have taken in

over 5.5 million pounds, which is more than 2,750 tons of pills.

The initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.

Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse, according to a Tuesday news release from the sheriff’s office.

Defense wants blood evidence tossed in South Whidbey case

By JUSTIN BURNETT

jburnett@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Admissibility of key evidence in a South Whidbey vehicular homicide case will be decided at a hearing Friday in Coupeville.

Langley defense attorney David Carman will argue in Island County Superior Court that the blood results for Michelle Nichols, a South Whidbey woman charged in the 2015 Valentine’s Day car crash that killed a Freeland man, should be tossed out as the result of a procedural error by state police.

“The State Patrol didn’t get a warrant and didn’t even try,” Carman said Monday.

Nichols is charged with one count of vehicular homicide under the “DUI prong” of the charge for the death of Tim Keil.

It’s the most serious and carries the longest potential sentence, from 78 to 102 months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

She pleaded not guilty in September.

The car accident occurred on the evening of Feb. 14 on State Highway 525 near the intersection of Coles Road.

Nichols, then 46, was southbound when the van she was driving crossed the centerline and struck Keil,

61, who was traveling northbound in a passenger car.

Keil died at the scene and Nichols was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

It was at Harborview that Nichols’ blood was drawn by state troopers, but without her consent as she was unconscious.

Her blood alcohol content was allegedly .11 percent, which exceeds the legal state limit of .08 percent.

Friday’s hearing seeks to suppress those results on the grounds that the blood was taken without a warrant and the blood draw didn’t apply under what’s known as “exigent circumstances” — matters of timeliness where evidence can disappear or a judge can’t be reached.

Nichols’ blood was taken nearly three hours after the accident, when Nichols failed to wake to speak with the officer and after doctors had confirmed they had given her two units of blood, according to the state patrol’s referral to the prosecutor’s office.

Carman argues that there wasn’t enough evidence to get a search warrant, that police didn’t have what was needed to justify blood removal under exigent circumstances.

Thank you for supporting Washington’s greatest support system: family caregivers.

Hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians care for older parents, spouses, and other loved ones, helping them to live safely and independently at home. These family caregivers have a huge responsibility and, thanks to our elected leaders, they now have more support. A new law called the Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE) Act will help family caregivers—from the moment their loved ones go into the hospital to when they return home. AARP Washington fought for the CARE Act because supporting family caregivers is a top priority for all of us.

AARP thanks State Senator Barbara Bailey for sponsoring the CARE Act, the Washington Legislature for passing it, and Governor Jay Inslee for signing the bill into law.

Share your thanks.

University Women give out $14,000 at annual awards

drichman@whidbeynewsgroup.com

ike surprises? Oak Harbor mother-and-daughter team Raquel and India Clavette are hoping enough people enjoy opening a monthly box of carefully selected goodies to get their fledgling business off the ground.

Each month, the Clavettes’ company, Thavin & Marcob, will choose a theme and send subscribers a box containing two to four themed items, the women explained during a recent visit to their home-based business.

The products will all be made wholly in the U.S. by small-business entrepreneurs, though they needn’t be handmade.

“We’re going to feature entrepreneurs from all over the country,” said Raquel, 41. Each product will come with a written description of its creator and contact information for reorders.

Subscriptions cost $45 per month, which includes Priority Mail shipping.

The company takes credit-card numbers and renews subscriptions automatically unless the subscriber cancels.

Payments are taken through PayPal. The first boxes are due to be shipped next month, with the theme “Grand Opening.”

“That’s really a catch-all,” said Raquel.

Themes in future months will be more focused, she said.

Raquel said she got the idea for the business when she went Christmas shopping and couldn’t find well-made, unique gift items in the retail stores.

Etsy, a mega-site for hand-made goods, “isn’t really discriminating enough,” she said.

Subscription boxes are hot right now, she noted. Among the best known are

Raquel (left) and India Clavette are a mother-and-daughter team launching Thavin & Marcob, a monthly gift box subscription service.

Birchbox, offering beauty-product samples, and the Taste Club, offering food samples.

“Faith boxes” support ministries, containing “items from organizations that respect God’s people and His creation,” according to one provider of such boxes.

Among the first items the Clavettes’ customers may get are: n “Little Box of Date Nights,” 24 wooden two-sided discs with 48 date-night ideas such as “Make home-made pizza with wild toppings” and “Build a fire in the fireplace or fire pit and roast s’mores.”

From Sweet Bella Stationery, sweetbel lastationery.com. n Hand-drawn adult-oriented coloring pages (not obscene) from Vidette McDowall, who maintains an Etsy site under the name VidetteCreates. n Shoelaces from Armor Tactical Laces — “made in the U.S. using mil spec materials and hand-inspected … the choice of professionals.” From Armorlaces.com Their website offering a discount to charter subscribers got 500-800 hits per day for several months, encouraging the

team to pursue their idea, they said. About 300 people signed up to get a promotion code entitling them to a discount on the first box.

Yet their subscriber list so far has only 10 people on it. Raquel attributes that to a technical glitch and said she’d like to have 50 and 200 subscribers.

Thavin & Marcob — a name made up of bits from all five of Raquel’s children’s names — asks its selected suppliers to sell their goods to her at wholesale prices.

She anticipates the business will be profitable, though pricing of the boxes and other details are subject to change as the business develops, she said.

Raquel’s husband, Donald, works repairing wind turbines, so instant profitability isn’t essential.

India, 20, a student at Skagit Valley College, said she helps with every aspect of the business and especially appreciates supporting small businesses. n For information go to https://www. thavinmarcob.com/

DON’T MISS THE GRAY WHALES

Dozens of members of the Whidbey Island Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW), parents, siblings, teachers and counselors gathered in Coupeville to honor Whidbey’s top female students and award them wellearned scholarships and stipends totaling more than $14,000.

Seven girls were given scholarships to AAUW’s Tech Trek, a 7th-grade science camp held in our region at Pacific Lutheran University in July: Mikaela Labrador and Jillian Taylor of Coupeville Middle School; Grace Nowicki of HomeConnection; Kelly Murnane of Langley Middle School; Octavia Prosser of North Whidbey Middle School; and Ashleigh Merrill and Brenna Richard of Oak Harbor Middle School. All of these girls were nominated by their science teachers, completed an application including an essay, and were interviewed by the Tech Trek Committee.

Eight Juniors were chosen to receive stipends and certificates as STEM Scholars, nominated by their Science, Technology and Math teachers as being tops in those fields: Lainey Dickson (science) and Kiara Burdge (math) of Coupeville High School; Lindsay Gross (science), Elissa Nortier (technology), and Chloe Stowell (math) of Oak Harbor High School; and Amelia Hensler (science), Fiona Callahan (technology) and Kari Hustad (math) of South Whidbey High School.

Two seniors were chosen to receive the Dale M. Fischer Memorial Art Scholarship, sponsored by Sarah Richards of Lavender Wind Farm: Helena Webster of Oak Harbor High School, who plans to major in music, and Madeline Barker of South Whidbey High School, who will study visual art.

Last but not least, three Seniors were awarded academic scholarships: Destiny Cleary of Coupeville High School, Suzanne Kaltenbach of Oak Harbor High School and Amara Garibyan of South Whidbey High School. After a rigorous selection process, these girls were chosen from among 39 applicants based on their academic achievements, school activities, community service, work experience and an essay explaining why they were seeking financial aid and what they planned to do with it.

The purpose of AAUW is to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy and research.

Whidbey Telecom investing $10 mil in fiber optics

By EVAN THOMPSON South Whidbey Record

Looking around FusionSpark Media co-founder Russell Sparkman’s office, one thing becomes abundantly clear — it’s unoccupied save Sparkman.

That’s because the Langley business is heavily reliant on the cyberworld, where Sparkman’s team conducts most of its business on the web, editing video content as well as other forms of media.

Internet service is a key component in his work, and a poor connection means a slower workflow.

Internet speed could increase by as much as 10 times in the near future, with Whidbey Telecom building an all-fiber optic cable network to be used by businesses, residents and government.

Whidbey Telecom CoCEO George Henny and Chief Operating Officer Chris Burns see the fiber cabling as a means of improving business vitality in commercial areas, such as Langley or Freeland, while also addressing an ever-increasing need for improved bandwidth for South Whidbey residents.

In other words, they are “future-proofing” the community, an investment that is estimated to be more than $10 million.

“We are looking at really creative ways of helping every economic level to thrive in some way,” Henny said.

“If we can help lift them up in some way, we believe we can truly make this community amazing. Not because of what we do, but how we are helping others thrive and that makes us incredibly proud to contribute to our community and really honored.”

Sparkman said his business is challenged in its ability to upload gigabytes of video to a team that will edit it elsewhere. The new cabling would be a step up, he said.

“That would be at least part of our workflow that would be improved by having the optical speeds for uploading and downloading content,” Sparkman said.

Henny and Burns said the new cabling will also put Internet service on South Whidbey in the top percentile in speed across the nation.

Pricing is still being determined, though the company is looking at other communities and their competitors

to ensure prices are affordable for everyone. Rates will be adjusted according to the amount of usage, Henny said “It just needs to be simple, intuitive and fair to everybody,” Henny said.

Using two zoning distinctions labeled “green” and “blue,” the cables will be installed periodically throughout the rest of the year.

Green zones encompass a larger area of service, including Langley, Clinton, Bayview, Freeland and the South Whidbey School District, while blue zones entail high-volume residential areas such as Useless Bay or Holmes Harbor.

Green zones will allow customers to upload and download with speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second, while blue zones will allow for speeds of one gigabit per second. Gigabits are a unit for digital information or computer storage.

Langley Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Michaeleen McGarry, who is also a partner at Element Code Project in Freeland, said her web-based development firm’s productivity will increase. She also

agreed that the efficiency of telecommuting will be improved.

“The upload and download is going to be a lot faster,” McGarry said.

“Specifically with telecommuting, if you’re trying to work on something that is not local here, like on your machine, you can actually communicate with it a lot faster.”

Fiber cables were installed in Freeland’s commercial core two years ago.

Installation is underway for the rest of Freeland, as well as Langley, while other areas are ongoing.

zones.”

Mayor Tim Callison, a retired vice president of Connects Marketing Group, endorsed the benefits the cabling will have for the community.

“For Langley and the people that work here, it gives them the opportunity for a telecommuting option,” Callison said.

“They can work here in Langley at the same Internet speed that they would have at their home office.”

Climate is shifting on huge tax breaks afforded Boeing Co. THE PETRI DISH

By Jerry Cornfield

The first time area aerospace machinists tried to claw back bits of Washington’s ginormous tax break to the Boeing Co., they found themselves up against national leaders of their union and the governor of the state.

The next time, they won’t.

Bob Martinez, the new international president of International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, is publicly backing efforts to redo the deal in order to tie the tax breaks with Boeing employment levels in the state.

And Gov. Jay Inslee told members of IAM District Lodge 751 last week that he will work on the issue with them in 2017 — presuming he’s still governor It’s quite a climate change since November 2013 when Inslee summoned lawmakers into special session to approve the deal waiving billions of dollars in future tax payments by the company if it built its new 777X jetliner in the state.

Boeing is doing just that in Everett.

But it’s also bleeding jobs, starting literally when the ink dried on that deal; 5,000 trimmed so far with company execs warning another 4,000 could disappear this year.

In early 2015, the tally of lost jobs hadn’t reached the point where Martinez’s predecessors had become acutely concerned.

When local machinists lobbied lawmakers on a bill linking tax breaks with jobs, they heard a contingent including former IAM international vice president Rich Michalski had traveled from Washington, D.C. to Olympia to deliver a completely different message.

“They came out totally against the bill and then they went around the campus and told everybody else in all four corners of the building the same thing,” said House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish.

When Martinez took charge in January, he wrote lawmakers to let them know things had changed and machinists are now united.

“The IAM will speak with one voice in this matter,” he said in an email this week. “Protecting aerospace jobs in Washington state requires more than $8.7 billion in incentives.

It requires strong legislation that holds Boeing accountable for preserving jobs.”

In 2015, Inslee didn’t embrace the workers’ legislative effort either. He didn’t publicly oppose it. However, some union members thought the governor worked behind the scenes to keep it bottled up.

Inslee’s tune is different this year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Growlers

‘Voices of change’ more determined than ever Editor, New Naval Air Station Whidbey Island base commander, Capt. Moore, as quoted in an April 20 article, claims he wants to listen to the “concerns from the public,” and, “The best thing I can do is communicate with leadership in all areas.”

That sounds fine, but comes up short.

Last month, COER wrote a letter to Capt. Moore requesting a meeting to open communications and explore sharing information relevant to the community’s and the Navy’s mutual interests.

His response to the News-Times was, “Why [should I] talk with someone who wants to do me in?”

COER is not interested in the least in doing the captain in. It does believe that Growlers — all or a goodly portion — need to be relocated to a more environmentally appropriate and welcoming location, and/or at the very least, the OLF should be closed, given the grave

health and safety issues associated with the low-level practice there.

Those are reasonable, necessary and doable goals.

Meanwhile, the Growler problem and community animus is obviously escalating.

If the captain really wants to “communicate with leadership in all areas,” he should keep in mind that COER represents thousands of very distressed Whidbey voices because by default COER has had to assume that onerous responsibility.

The voices of change will not be silenced, but are only made more determined and energized by political disregard and dismissal desperately clinging to the old establishment political power structure that has failed dismally to protect this unique island and its citizens from military encroachment approaching a takeover.

The old days of the sound of freedom represent dinosaur chat.

Capt. Moore needs to seriously consider reaching outside his comfort zone and think for himself beyond the box of old-school Mac. COER remains willing to help the captain better understand and work on a 21st century solution, if he wishes to.

Ever since they opened Rhododendron Park it has been a place where families could have a picnic or walk in the park, but mostly where the Central Whidbey Little League baseball and softball practices and games are held.

I’ve lived in Coupeville for eight years, and COER is now trying close the park where hundreds have played and, hopefully, hundreds more to come.

Reading this article not only bewildered me, but has frustrated me as well.

self-serving people, people who would do this just to make a statement.

By closing a children’s park, they actually insult the ones they say they want to protect. It seems COER considers the hard-working pilots who fly these planes to be villains. I think they are guardians, and their power to guard is derived from the EA-18G Growlers.

OLF was opened not to anger a small percentage of residents of Coupeville, but to help the ones who protect the country to practice.

The members of COER, to me, do not represent the community as a whole, and certainly not myself. They seem to blame everything on the jets.

They find anything to complain about.

They act like children, though real children would not propose to close a park.

I love Rhododendron Park and, yes, even jet noise, and so do others.

Proposing to take away the park is unfair to the ones, like myself, who actually use the park.

I want COER to realize the world doesn’t revolve around them, and instead of insisting they are the majority realize they are actually a minority on jet noise and are creating a huge ordeal over what I see as one of the world’s tiniest problems. They hurt, not help, and that hurts others who don’t want them speaking for them.

COER, I’m disappointed that, even as adults, you still haven’t learned to take anything other than yourselves into consideration.

Like a child that doesn’t get their way, they want to take their ball — and my park — away.

Impact

Base expansion isn’t all about a ‘windfall’ Editor, Reporter Dan Richman’s article about the effects the Navy base expansion will

CONTINUED FROM A6 have on Oak Harbor environs only told one side of the story.

Oak Harbor Mayor Bob Severns and Development Services Director Steve Powers’ presentation was followed by that of Dr. Lance Gibbon, Oak Harbor School District superintendent.

Gibbon had a less encouraging story to tell property taxpayers about the enormous impact the base expansion is expected to have on the school system.

By some estimates, enrollments will nearly double.

This will require an enormous increase in facilities, maintenance, staff, teachers, monitors to prevent local kids from being bullied and pay hikes, to say nothing of increased need for law enforcement, fire protection, streets, more traffic signals and the stresses on utilities like water, heating, sewer and power.

Guess who pays for all that?

Then too there is the Navy’s historic recklessness with the environment, like the “superfund” disposal area where all sorts of toxic chemicals get dumped to threaten the safety of the island’s aquifers.

Where do you think all that fuel goes that some report see being dumped out over the ocean when planes approach to land?

All this goes on while we spend tax dollars trying to salvage the once abundant salmon.

Want to know how it used to be?

Get Peggy Darst Townsdin’s or the late Dorothy Neil’s books on Whidbey’s history. They are marvelous volumes.

So while chamber of commerce businessmen, rental property managers and power brokers salivate over the coming windfall; others more interested in the natural beauty Whidbey once had, including some of our elder residents who had prime property taken by eminent domain, get a bad case of dry mouth and a lump in their throat remembering what used to be.

officials and aerospace executives, he cautioned of a future reckoning if the decline in jobs persisted.

“I don’t know that anyone has figured out the perfect answer to this problem,” he said. “But I do believe that some measure of future job accountability is worth considering as maintaining and growing our aerospace industry is a priority that I

know we all share.”

Last month he said he would “entertain consideration” of rewriting the 2013 deal to put in job requirements.

Then in early April, in his endorsement interview with District Lodge 751 members, Inslee said he would work on this issue with machinists and engineers in 2017.

The union’s political direc-

tor, Larry Brown, also suggested in a half-serious, halfjoking way to the governor that he call a special session to tackle the matter — just as he did to get those tax breaks passed in 2013.

“At what point was my question,” he said. “Do we have time to wait until next year?” n Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet. com. Contact him at 360-3528623 or by emailing to jcornfield@heraldnet.com

OBITUARIES

Holt

Cecilia J. Holt

Cecilia passed away peacefully March 20, 2016, in her residence at Regency on Whidbey in Oak Harbor.

She is survived by her three sons, Don Holt, Harry Holt and Richard Holt, as well as seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Cecilia was born in Seattle to Harry and Elva (Wanamaker) Starks.

During her childhood, Cecilia’s parents managed a number of hospitality venues around western Washington.

Most memorable for her were her junior and senior high school years when she lived at the Everett Golf and Country Club. Her mother managed food services and her father supervised grounds maintenance operations.

After receiving her college degree in nursing and registered nurse credential, Cecilia worked for a short time at a hospital in Burlington while living with her parents in Coupeville.

At a New Year’s Eve dance in Coupeville in 1947, she met the love of her life, Leland Holt. In July 1948, they were married in Coupeville with 400 guests in attendance.

After a brief honeymoon in British Columbia, she left her “country club life” to spend her next 62 years on the family farm in Oak Harbor with Leland.

For Cecilia, the farm was a totally new adventure. She maintained the house and helped Lee with many of the farm chores. They sold milk to Darigold, raised chickens, turkeys and some beef cows.

Many times her nursing

WWW.WHIDBEYNEWSTIMES.COM

skills were needed to help a sick animal or a family member.

Cecilia and Lee were also there to help their neighbors.

In the 1950s, Lee would take his threshing and binding machines to different farms in the area to harvest grain.

Neighboring farmers would gather to help each other on their respective farms. Cecilia was always in the middle of preparing the hearty mid-day meal for the crew. The men would eat first and return to the threshing chores. The table was then cleared and reset for the women and children to eat. In a few days, the process would be repeated on another farm. Later on, in the 1960s, Cecilia took great pride in driving the hay truck and supervising the crew while Lee tended to other hay-making duties.

Cecilia and Lee enjoyed family, friends and their country lifestyle. They were active in the Rebekahs and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. For about 10 years, she was also a 4-H leader in both a cooking and a swimming club. She was a Red Cross water safety instructor at several local beaches and at the NAS Whidbey pool.

Cecilia always enjoyed hosting a potluck picnic with family and friends. For more than 60 years, the highlight of their summers was their hosting of the annual Holt family picnic on the last Sunday in July. At its peak, 95 family members and friends were in attendance. Cecilia and Leland enjoyed their travels after Lee retired. She and her girlfriends loved doing weekly ceramics together.

She was always ready to go fishing and camping with family and friends.

Cecilia enriched the lives of so many around her. She will be greatly missed and will remain in our hearts forever.

She will rest alongside her late husband, Leland Holt, at the Maple Leaf Cemetery in Oak Harbor.

Join us in a celebration of her life at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 7, at Wallin Funeral Home, 1811 NE 16th Ave #A, Oak Harbor, with Pastor Andy Mahoney officiating.

Adair

Juanita Adair

Juanita Adair, age 79, died suddenly at Providence Medical Center in Everett April 15, 2016.

She was born May 6, 1936, in Florence, Colo., to Rosendo and Mercedes Ramirez. Her mother died at a very young age and Juanita was raised by her older brother Johnny and his wife in San Francisco.

The family went on to live in Mountain View, Calif.

In 1962, Juanita and her girlfriends visited a bar in Mountain View and the bartender did not believe Juanita was old enough to drink. She showed him her ID proving her age, and he was shocked.

There was instant chemistry between the pair. They spent time getting to know each other. When she saw him in his Navy uniform, she became even more attracted to him. About a year after they met, she and the bartender, Harry Adair, were married in Reno, Nevada.

Juanita became a Navy wife. She and Harry remained in Mountain View and before long came sons Scott and John. Harry served at Moffett Field, Alameda and aboard the USS Hancock until 1972, when he received orders to Midway Island for two years.

Juanita loaded the boys and herself aboard a C141 Military transport plane, and they were off to an adventure on Midway Island.

While Harry was stationed on Midway Island, Juanita became active in a softball association, and did quite

well.

1974 saw the Adair family moving to Whidbey Island.

Juanita settled in with her family and Oak Harbor soon became home. She enjoyed bowling with friends and shopping at garage sales; but most of all, she loved her grandchildren.

Juanita is survived by her husband Harry; sons Scott (Delynn) Adair of Auburn and John (Kelda) Adair of Bellingham; and grandchildren, Robert, Sydney, Cassidy and Cara.

A family celebration of life was held on Saturday, April 23, 2016. Please visit Juanita’s page in the Book of Memories at www.wall infuneralhome.com to share memories and condolences.

The family would appreciate donations for funeral expenses in lieu of flowers.

A memorial fund has been set up at Wells Fargo bank under the name Juanita Adair Memorial Fund.

Arrangements are entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, Oak Harbor.

McBride shoots his way to National Jr. Olympics

By JIM WALLER

jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Oak Harbor High School marksman Austin McBride competed against the best schoolboy shooters in the United States at the National Junior Olympics Men’s Air Rifle Championships earlier this month in Colorado Springs.

McBride, a junior, was one of only 187 from 48 states to qualify for the event.

McBride finished 68th, which, he said, was “a lot better than I thought I’d place.”

“Seeing as how each shooter there is the best-of-the-best in his state, the level of competition was very high,” McBride said. “It was an honor to shoot beside every one of them.”

A strong showing at the Washington State Junior Olympics Championships earned McBride the berth in the national tournament.

Going into the competition at Colorado Springs, McBride saw it as “nothing but a way to earn experience.”

He came away, however, with more: “(It) proved to me I can achieve more than what I think I can, which is a huge confidence booster for me.”

One experience he didn’t expect

was the thoroughness of the gear check. Gear checks are normal, but at the national competition they examined everything, right down to the thickness and stiffness of his leathers (shooting apparel).

“The gear check took three and a half hours and most of my energy that day,” he said. “It was hell.”

Other aspects of the trip were more pleasant, including competing at the United States Olympic Training Center.

“It was amazing to walk in the steps of the elite class of athletes known as Olympians,” he said.

Another positive experience was taking advantage of the city’s activities: “There was so much to do. You could plan weeks worth of recreational tourism and still not cover everything Colorado Springs had to offer.”

One of the activities he tried was scuba diving, getting a lesson from his uncle, a certified instructor.

“I’m hoping to get certified soon so I can go diving on my own.”

With a wink, McBride added, “From what I gather, the Navy has a great program for people who love to shoot and dive — the Navy SEALs.”

Tough day for Wildcat teams

By JIM WALLER

jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com

April 22 was Earth Day for most, but it was Black Friday for the host Oak Harbor High School baseball and softball teams.

The Wildcat baseball club let a four-run, final-inning lead slip away in an 8-6 loss to Stanwood; and the softball team couldn’t come all the way back and fell 9-8 to Lynnwood.

Baseball In addition to the sting of surrendering a late lead, the Wildcats increased the difficulty of qualifying for the playoffs with the loss.

Oak Harbor (2-8, 4-10) is now three games out of fourth place, the final playoff position, with five games left. Clawing back into the postseason hunt won’t be easy because three of the remaining games are against first-place Arlington (8-1, 10-4).

Oak Harbor played the Eagles Tuesday, but the results were not available at press time.

The teams meet in Arlington Wednesday and return to Oak Harbor at 4 p.m. Friday.

began the seventh with three consecutive hits, chasing Oak Harbor starter Tyler Snavely.

Stanwood would go on to score six runs from that point on only one more hit. Three Wildcat errors, two passed balls and a mental mistake helped the Spartans rally back.

The Wildcats had only five hits in the game.

Robert Herring hit a double and triple, while Steven Richards, Trent Benson and Aaron Martinez singled.

Softball Lynnwood (5-7) built leads of four and five runs and then held on for the win.

The Royals were up 4-0 going into the bottom of the third inning when the Wildcats evened the score.

Lynnwood then zipped a 9-4 lead after batting in the fifth.

Oak Harbor got three runs back in the bottom of the fifth and one in the sixth but couldn’t complete the comeback.

The Wildcats left two runners on in each of the final two innings.

Alexa Findley finished 3-for-5; Tricia Sarns hit two doubles; Audrey Howard singled twice; Lyndsay Duchnowski doubled; and Taylor Wilson and Shea Davis singled.

Oak Harbor (2-2, 3-9) plays at Everett (4-1, 10-4) at 7 p.m. Thursday.

By JIM WALLER

jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com

For the second time this season, the Coupeville High School baseball team clipped Chimacum by one run, this time coming from behind to edge the visiting Cowboys 2-1 Monday.

The win sets up a showdown with Klahowya at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 27, in Silverdale. Coupeville, now 5-0 in Olympic League play, upset third-ranked and defending champion Klahowya (3-1, 12-3) 2-0 last week.

In the Chimacum game, both teams left runners on base in each of the first four innings before the Cowboys finally broke through in the fifth. For the game, Coupeville stranded 12 and Chimacum 10.

A two-out walk followed by a double gave Chimacum a 1-0 lead in the top of the fifth.

Coupeville scored with two outs in the sixth inning. Clay Reilly lifted a soft liner just over the third baseman’s glove with one out and then was bunted to second by Joey Lippo. Reilly eventually scored when the Chimacum second baseman bobbled the ball just enough to allow Hunter Smith to beat out the grounder.

After a strikeout and with Reilly batting with two strikes, Payne boldly broke for the plate in an attempt to steal home. Reilly hit a chopper to first, but with Payne on the move, Chimacum had no chance for a play at the plate and Payne scored the winning run.

Smith and Reilly ended the day with two hits, Matt Hilborn and Score added singles and Payne singled and walked three times.

The Blue Herons, coached by Richard Taylor, set 11 new club records, seven by Haley Borja.

Borja, 8, set new marks in the girls 8-and-under division in the 50-yard freestyle (31.98), 100 free (1:11.05), 200 free (2:42.7), 500 free (6:53.03), 50 backstroke (38.58), 50 butterfly (37.07) and 400 individual medley (6:34.31).

NJROTC rifle team receives grant The Oak Harbor High School NJROTC rifle team received a grant last week from the National Rifle Association, according to Wildcat coach Dave Goodman.

The team will receive two Challenger 2009 rifles, two hand stop swivels, two military slings, 150 tins of pellets and 3,500 targets.

The value of the grant is $2,533.77.

“This represents a huge plus for the team and school as it means we get some items we really need and they do not come out of CTE’s budget,” Goodman said.

The grant was made possible by Washington Friends of the NRA, which raises funds privately to

support worthy programs related to firearm safety and competition.

OH boys golf repeats 4th-place finish The Oak Harbor High School boys golf team once again finished fourth in a Wesco North meet, this time at Arlington’s Gleneagle Golf Course Monday.

The Wildcats have placed fourth in all four six-team conference meets this spring. The next Wesco North meet is at Everett’s Legion Golf Course at 3 p.m. Thursday.

Oak Harbor (515) trailed Stanwood (418), Arlington (427) and Marysville-Pilchuck (461). Marysville Getchell and Everett did not qualify for a team score.

Wildcat freshman Haven Brown placed in a four-way tie for fourth with 81 strokes on the par-70 course. Stanwood’s Quinton Borseth finished first among the 30 golfers with a 69.

The Coupeville High School tennis team avenged an early season loss to Port Angeles by nipping the visiting Roughriders 4-3 Monday in a non-league match.

Port Angeles edged the Wolves 4-3 March 17.

The win over Port Angeles came down to second doubles where McKenzie Bailey and Jazmine Franklin pulled out a three-set win. The Coupeville duo won the first set 7-5, lost the second by the same score and then wrapped up the match with a 6-2 win in the third.

The Wolves collected straight-set wins in first and second singles and in first doubles.

The Wolves (3-0, 7-3) host Klahowya (1-3, 5-7) at 4 p.m.

Friday.

Oak Harbor’s Nick Whitley shot a 94, one better than Caleb Brookshier. Rheeno Kwak finished with a 121, and Ryan Evans added a 124.

“It went OK,” coach David Smith said. “It is a really tough course off the tee. It demands good shots and punishes you if you don’t.

“I thought the guys did well for a hard course. We need to work on some course management issues, but we are progressing.”

OHHS Booster Club hosts physcial night The Oak Harbor Wildcat Booster Club will host its annual Sport Physical Night from 5-7 p.m.

Months of planning pay off with senior class music video

By DEBRA VAUGHN

dvaughn@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Getting 1,500 high schoolers to do anything together is a bit like herding cats.

Video production students at Oak Harbor High School managed to pull off a music video Friday called a Lip Dub that featured every kid in school.

So what exactly is a Lip Dub? “I describe it as a mass music video,” said video production teacher Chris Douthitt. “It has to involve a large group of people. It has to be shot in one continuous shot.”

Teachers and students lined classrooms and hallways. They dressed with verve — lab coats, softball uniforms, theater costumes, sailor’s hats, tuxedos, a welding helmet, lettermen’s jackets.

The cameraman used a Steadicam and traveled through the entire school as another student lugged a boom box with the tunes.

Along the way the students hammed it up.

After the camera passed, the students sprinted to the gym for one final shot of everyone in the school dancing and singing “Fame” style.

In all they did three takes.

“This was a real workout for the kids,” Douthitt said.

“They had to keep running back to the gym. A lot of them were exhausted.”

The video took months of

The Lip Dub should be posted this week. A link can be found online at the Wildcat TV page at www. wildcattv.us and on the OHHS Lip Dub Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ OHHSLipDub2016/ The best part, said freshman Q. White, was “seeing everyone come together in the school for one event.” He wore a bathrobe spotted like a cow over his clothes and carried a trumpet.

This is Oak Harbor High School’s third Lip Dub and the first for this crop of students.

The local movement took off in 2009 when Shorewood High School created a supercool Lip Dub that the stu-

dents performed in reverse.

That video has been viewed by more than 2 million people on YouTube.

Now area high schools compete against each other for the best Lip Dub. This year’s offering should put Oak Harbor in the mix.

The video features a medley of favorite songs from popular films and an original version of “Hooray for Hollywood” performed by Oak Harbor High School singers.

They also flashed green screens during the filming, which will be superimposed with movie scenes.

“What I like is the school spirit,” said principal Dwight Lundstrom. “Even for the kids to pull this together and make it work is quite an accomplishment.”

HYDROS CONTINUED FROM A1 That’s the same weekend as the car show and Pigfest.

“This will support and help our community,” McKenzie said “We’re trying to make everyone a hero for helping us take this on.”

Woessner remembers racing hydros when he was a kid, and any free, familyfriendly event for Oak Harbor is a win, he said.

They hope to make this an annual event.

They’ve already received a commitment from Seattle Drag and Ski Sprint Boats, which put the race on the American Power Boat Association schedule.

Approximately 40 boats are expected to show, said Lenny Baker, the commodore of Seattle Drag and Ski. Oak Harbor is a favorite spot for racers and their supporters, he said. The city is one of the few saltwater courses and its an ideal location since it’s mostly protected from high winds.

Plus, everyone here treats them right.

“The community hospitality has been overwhelming,” he said. “The racers and crews and families just thrive on it.”

Unlike the past event, this one will be nonprofit with any proceeds going toward the Rotary Club of Oak Harbor.

If there’s a financial loss, McKenzie said he would cover it.

They are looking for sponsors to help offset costs and volunteers — especially

We anticipate good weather, good water and lots of boats … We should be able to put on a good show.”

Lenny Baker, commodore Seattle Drag and Ski someone adept at social media. Anyone interested should contact McKenzie at hydros@thecraigmckenzieteam.com.

The previous hydros organizer and owner Michelle Curr y canceled the event last fall because the tides didn’t line up with any open weekends in August.

She brought back hydroplane races to Oak Harbor in 2014 after an absence of nearly 40 years.

Curry has since moved away.

Members of Rotary wanted to make sure it happened. That’s when McKenzie and Woessner stepped up.

Curry didn’t want to hold the event the same weekend as other events, but the new organizers said the events will complement each other and bring more people downtown.

The organizers said they would like to move the pits from the marina to Flintstone Park so the crowd can get a closer look at the action.

“We are happy to be back,” Baker said.

“We anticipate good weather, good water and lots of boats.

“We should be able to put on a good show.”

Majestic Garry oak In conjunction with Arbor Day, the Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society announced the winners of an essay contest it held to raise awareness and appreciation for the city’s namesake Garry oak trees. Winners of the contest, jointly sponsored by the Garry Oak Society and Whidbey News-Times, will each receive a Garry oak tree to plant at a site of their choosing. Laura Menninger, founder of the Garry Oak Society, said she is extremely pleased with the number of quality submissions, especially from young people. They included students in Debra Rusnak’s third grade class at Crescent Harbor Elementary and eight Oak Harbor High School students.

The Grand Old Oak

By Peggy Darst Townsdin

There stood a great oak for a few hundred years. Native people watched her grow up from a tiny acorn. They honored all of the great oak trees near the bay.

Pioneers came to the bay from faraway places, such as England, Ireland, Norway, Germany and Sweden. The great oak stood out. They did not cut it down. Little Sibella Barrington called it “my tree.” She and the other pioneer children would rest, play and picnic under the great oak’s branches on their way walking to and from their one room school house up on Freund’s Hill.

Year after year the great oak grew.

More people came to the town on the bay, Oak Harbor, named for the great oak trees found growing there on Whidbey Island. These people wore wooden shoes. Soon more people came to the town on the bay. These people wore uniforms. They brought seaplanes, jets and nice young families with them. The little town grew. The great oak tree stood strong and was admired by all. Season after season, year after year, she grew tall and healthy in her grassy field.

More roads were built. Pavement was poured down right up to the great oak’s trunk, and covered all of her grassy field. It surrounded her, and started to choke her. Large plastic sheets were laid down over the grass as well. It was to stop any plants from growing. It added to the choking of the great oak’s roots, preventing the rain that nourished the great oak from reaching her roots.

Still the great oak lived. Her roots spread out far and wide. She refused to give up, even as the pavement took a toll on her health. Every spring and summer she still spread out her beautiful green leaves and canopy. Many people admired her.

A group of people formed in the town. They called themselves “Harbor Pride.” They were proud of the harbor and the great oak trees. They named the great oak “The Grand Old Oak.,” One woman named Melissa took a special interest in the grand oak tree.

Alas, the town leaders decided that

the grand oak tree was a hazard. She showed signs of becoming unhealthy.

They feared she would lose a branch or cause harm to the people of the town.

They took a vote; they would chop the great oak down. Melissa brought in oak tree specialists. They said, “take out that pavement at her trunk, take up that plastic, so her roots can be nourished!”

At Melissa’s and other’s pleading, the town leaders voted just in time to spare the ax. Pavement was taken out.

New healthy soil was brought in. The grand oak was watered. Harbor Pride members planted flowers and native plants surrounding the Grand Old Oak. She began to thrive again. She had 10 more years of seasons. Melissa spent hundreds of hours tending her garden around the Grand Old Oak. Others volunteered many hours as well, weeding and watering and caring for the Grand Old Oak. Then one Sunday morning, with no warning to the town’s people, the Grand Old Oak was attacked and killed with chainsaws that ripped through her beautiful limbs and her huge old trunk.

The town leaders had decided to get rid of that old oak tree they feared. No effort was made to spare her.

That sunny Sunday morning Melissa gathered flowers and plants in a basket and walked down the road to tend her garden at the Grand Old Oak. A sudden sharp pain stabbed her in the chest, as if an angry hand had seized her heart, as she saw her beloved oak tree being razed to the ground. All that is left now of the Grand Old Oak Tree, which grew for a few hundred years, is a large round stump, a few inches high. That is all that marks the spot where a great oak tree grew for a few hundred years.

A Legacy for Posterity

By Sandey Brandon

Magical trees. That’s what I think whenever I see their towering silhouettes against the Oak Harbor skyline.

Interestingly enough, Walt Disney had a similar vision because he used the Quercus garryana — Garry oak — as inspiration for the enchanted forest in his animated classic “Snow White.”

These majestic trees stand sentinel

all along the Pacific coastline from southern British Columbia to Los Angeles. Unlike their redwood and sequoia brethren, which radiate a timeless tranquility and upright majesty, Garry oaks are a delight of knarly, twisting formations that mimic bonsai gone berserk.

Before there were roads and habitations, before a concerted effort to plant the trees was adopted by settlers to the island, acorns were a food staple of the indigenous population. History indicates that the trees found along our coastline may have gotten a foothold on the land as a result of the trading practices among the various tribes in the region.

However, the hold the trees have on our hearts is etched in Oak Harbor’s tree-lined streets and parks, the name of the city itself and many other commercial starts rooted in the words “oak” and “acorn.”

It is clear that the march of progress threatens all of the flora and fauna of our island, with the massive Garry oaks both targets and icons. These oaks have character. Chop them off for power line access or remove broken boughs and the trees simply reshape themselves into semaphores of beauty and endurance.

Pick a favorite Garry oak in the Oak Harbor habitat? What a difficult choice, when all the trees have individual grace notes. Now that the Keister post office behemoth has been cut down, the one standing in the middle of the road on SE 8th near Pasek gets my vote. There is something utterly charming about routing a street around a tree as a means of preservation instead of simply chopping it down. Every time I drive through Oak Harbor, I detour through that neighborhood to salute that particular tree and wish it a long life free from disease or man’s disposition. But there is no immunity from development and the Garry oaks in captivity, while protected, are yet subject to clearance.

Twenty-five years ago, we got 350 seedlings from the Department of Natural Resources for $70, which we split with friends. My husband and I planted 180 on our 20 acres, the major-

ity of which grew without any pampering whatsoever. My husband has been gone for more than a decade, but the trees are flourishing.

A Chinese proverb says that the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today. I would like to plant a Garry oak tree on the acreage in Freeland on which I am building my last homestead, where I can watch it grow and imagine its splendid silhouette backlit by sunset when I am gone.

Trees symbolize family

By Katherine Lof OHHS Student

I have not lived in Oak Harbor very long, but one of my favorite things about it is the landscape, especially the trees. Yes, the water and the sky and everything else about Whidbey Island is breathtaking, but the trees take the cake. There is something special about looking up at a giant tree and knowing it has seen everything. Some of them may have even seen the discovery of Whidbey Island, and that is incredible.

As a senior about to move away for college, I want so very badly to leave a legacy behind, and what better way than to plant a tree? A tree just keeps growing and growing, becoming something beautiful that people appreciate.

The idea of coming back from college for breaks, or maybe even to live my life here, and seeing the tree that I planted sounds amazing. It is, quite literally, planting my roots firmly in my home.

I know that no matter where I go, I will always be able to have a piece of me in Oak Harbor. When I am in Colorado for school, I’ll know I have a piece of me growing back home, reminding people of me and helping make Oak Harbor even more beautiful.

Trees symbolize family, and I feel as if Oak Harbor is a family, connecting their roots in a way that not everyone can see. They help bring people together, and it is comforting to know that when I leave, a piece of me will always be here. It will preserve my legacy and keep me firmly rooted here even when I have gone far away.

OAK ESSAYS CONTINUED FROM A12

By Carolyn Michaelis OHHS student

Being the daughter of a military family, and thus having moved 14 times in my 18 years of life has caused me to strive for adventure while simultaneously craving stability. After long days of photography and hiking, I appreciate coming home to a few consistent things.

I spent quite a bit of my childhood climbing to the tops of cherry trees so that I could watch the doves clean each others’ feathers. It was often my favorite place to sit with my camera and snap moments frozen in time while my legs fell asleep in the crooks of the branches.

The overly large blossoming tree had both the adventure I enjoyed, and the stability I needed. Since these times, I have always viewed trees in

a kind of loving way. Not only for what they do for the earth, but for what they have done for me. Since the day my family moved to Oak Harbor, we have been hiking new trails and exploring new forests, never disappointed by the sheer amount of oak trees there are and how many animals they provide homes to.

Some of these animals have given me more reason to love the trees.

I hiked behind Fort Nugent Park one time, really quite late at night. It was an easy hike, barely any hills, and not too many spiny plants blocking my path. Owls cried out in the tree tops and every once in a while you could hear a hissing noise that drowned out the beautiful song of the frog choir which sang in the leaves. It was on this trail that I passed a short middle-aged

Garry oak tree that I have passed many times before; although this time, one of its branches was snapped at the base, and was leaning into my path. I stopped walking so that I could step over the broken branch as carefully as possible when I realized what was sitting on top of it.

A saw-whet owl, the size of my hand, balanced atop the broken branch close to the base, inspecting the damage to his home, only two feet away from my face. I didn’t move. Neither did he. We looked at each other for quite some time before I realized I should take a picture of him before it was too late. After my camera caught the shot, he left, and so did I. I began thinking about everything that night. I thought about how this was his home. A home where dogs tear through the trails in the morning and Frisbees fly towards the trunks in the evening. I thought about all of the other little owls that

may not get to go home because their tree was cut down for houses. I think of all of the times I have moved and wonder if he’s done the same. And I wonder if the owl craves stability.

From this experience I realize that I only want more homes for the animals in our world. I want to plant this tree so that I may give a home to an owl that may live peacefully, to give stability to the next family in my home, and so their children may experience what I have: that the world is full of curious things, and when we preserve them we are leaving behind experiences for many generations to come. I would love to go to college knowing that I am not only leaving behind a tree, I am leaving behind a teacher, a legacy, a home.

Fond memories tied to yard tree

By Sophie Dickinson OHHS student

Page A13

Being the daughter of two Oak Harbor High School graduates and longtime residents, I’ve never known anything different than this quaint city. I grew up using the tall oak trees as shade for the few sunny days we have here. I grew up worrying about them falling when we get those infamous Whidbey windstorms. Despite all the windstorms, power outages and construction, there are certain oak trees that have grown up alongside me these past 18 years and serve as landmarks for most of my most treasured childhood memories.

Growing up we lived in a charming house surrounded trees by on a two-acre property located on the outskirts of town. Of all the types of trees and shrubbery around, my sister and I always gravitated towards a specific oak tree which stood about 100 feet away from my bedroom window. After months of playing in the woods and making

makeshift forts that would always be blown over by the next morning, we decided to take matters into our own hands. We searched the property for scraps of wood, nails and rope. That afternoon, we spent the whole day up in the tree building a more permanent solution to our little fort debacle. We used rocks to hammer in our nails and a homemade rope pulling system to raise and lower building materials to each other.

The next day, we raided our arts and crafts supply shelf and painted flowers and our names on the fort to mark our territory. My sister and I would spend hours playing house or reading. Despite us using scraps of plywood and rocks as hammers, our fort has remained sturdy for 10 years. The tree in our yard has provided a sense of ownership and also gave us place to go when we didn’t want to come home for dinner.

CONTINUED FROM A13 Another one of my favorite oaks is the one that towers over the lawn of the big, white Presbyterian Church at the corner of Eighth Avenue and Midway. A good amount of my childhood was spent at that church, between Sunday Services and Fellowship Hall afterwords to Vacation Bible School and Easter egg hunts under that tree. Even my parents’ wedding was held there and I remember being in my flower girl dress with my sister after the wedding and being so excited to go play in the lawn by the tree because I had been sitting on a pew for hours. I remember using the tree as base in tag and yelling at my sister, “No Puppy Guarding!” The tree acts as a background in many pictures from my most special memories through out my life including my baptism as a baby, my parents’ wedding and many Easters.

The oak tree right next to the back door of the pool also comes to mind when asked to pick some of my favorite ones.

I’ve been a competitive swimmer for the past eight years and the pool has been like a second home. In the summer, we’d practice for hours and then go outside and run laps.

That specific tree marked the finish line. I was always so motivated by the sight of that tree on the horizon. For me that tree grows tall and strong, just as I have during my time swimming.

The tree is also a symbol of unity for me. When I’d finish running, I would stand there and cheer for my teammates as they finish and vice versa.

We had many team meetings, ab workouts and team cheers under the branches of that tree.

Growing up under the shade of all these oaks has been such a blessing. I love each and every one. I love all the one’s I’ve mentioned as well as many others.

I love the oak that is just down the road from the church, that splits the road into two.

I love the oak that grows outside of the Police Department and has a hole in its trunk that I’ve always suspected a squirrel lives in.

As I leave this town, I’ll always cherish the memories I’ve made in this town and I’ll miss the sight of each oak.

Mere presence can be a symbol

By Lessa Chiaraluce OHHS student

It’s quite fascinating how

a simple tree -— in this case a Garry oak tree — can symbolize so much just by its presence. For the better part of history, Garry oak trees have inhabited the lovely Whidbey Island, sharing their home with the rest of our small community.

Treasured by man but under -appreciated just as much, these trees live gracefully and beautifully in our small town of Oak Harbor. These trees not only serve as the namesake of Oak Harbor, but also symbolize a common origin, a common threshold, and most importantly- a common home.

Upon hearing of Oak Harbor before moving up here, the first thing that came to mind were trees.

Not only because the name of our town includes the name of such, but also because Washington state is known as the Evergreen state (which was unheard of since I came from the terribly brown Southern California).

However, it wasn’t until I took residency here that I realized what majesty and beauty a tree can hold and the symbol it can be recognized as. Moving here has made me grateful for the environment around us that we live in.

A Fairway Point Garry oak Submitted by the Fairway Point Community

Several of us in the Fairway Point Community have recently learned about the Oak Harbor Garry Oak Society and its mission to provide outreach, education and preservation of our city’s Garry oak trees (quercus garryana).

We have appreciated the grandness and majesty of the Garry oaks that we see throughout Oak Harbor. We shared an instinctual dismay when the Garry oak near the post office was cut down.

We now share the exciting possibility of planting a Garry oak tree in our community!

In Fairway Point, we have a space designated by the city as a “Tree Retention Area.,” It is referred to as Phase 4 Tract E on the community plat map and is somewhat adjacent to the cul-de-sac of Downfield Way. Several of us walk each day around our community and have wanted to make this area more attractive.

We believe that a Garry oak in the Tree Retention Area would be an amazing addition to our community,

and would further public education about this special tree while encouraging members of our community to participate in the planting of a future giant. Upon completion of the planting, we would send an informational paper to all our homeowners telling them of the history and importance of the tree.

We are informed that the City of Oak Harbor has no objection to our Homeowners’ Association desire to plant a Garry oak, where it will indeed be “retained,” and cherished for future generations. (We will have to verify that no utility lines pass through the area.)

The area for the Garry oak is approximately 9,397 sq ft, receives full sun, and the soil seems suited to the quality of drought-resistance attributed to the Garry oak.

The tree, in the fullness of time, would be a living monument for, not only the Fairway Point community, but for the City and the OHGO Society and its work. We are excited about saving the Garry oak and our community is a great place to do it!

Trees provide a chance to teach

By Debra Rusnak, Third grade teacher, Crescent Harbor Elementary (Student entries follow)

I was thrilled to see the opportunity to teach history of Oak Harbor and the Garry oak trees to my 3rd grade class, who, for the majority, are Navy and stationed, or have been stationed, all over the world. Their time at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station may be a short time, or, lucky for them, a longer stay, however, teaching history and conserving nature is a win-win for this teacher!

We have a plethora of information to pass on to our public school children today; state standards, common core, scope and sequence, the list does go on.

My constant goal in planning my teaching moments is, how can I make it relevant, meaningful and a learning memory for my students.

“Hey! I remember that from 3rd grade” I grew up in Eastern

Washington on a wheat farm.

Not really a tree in sight, unless planted as landscape, fruit orchard, or wind break.

My first visit to the Seattle area as a child left me overwhelmed, at the sight of tree after tree after tree over Stevens Pass. Evergreen trees for sure, but trees at that time became a special memory.

My husband and I moved with our family from the North Bend area to Whidbey Island in 1999. I discovered Madrona trees and Garry oaks. Huge monuments that left an impression of wow these don’t grow just anywhere.

So, I chose your essay contest as a relevant, teachable moment, to share Whidbey Island history and the science of nature to my kids in regards to the local, Garry oak trees. They need our human intervention to continue and I hoped to instill some passion to saving our planet to 8 and 9 year olds. I believe they will remember and do something.

Thank you for giving me this educational opportunity, and wouldn’t it be nice to replace the trees that were transplanted, and ultimately died within our community of Crescent Harbor Elementary.

We will plant and preserve our Garry oaks!

By Ily Gilmore

Garry oaks need to be saved by replanting for future generations of Oak Harbor.

I believe we need to bring awareness by planting young trees.

Native Americans planted Garry oaks as a source of protein and camas bulbs would grow in an oak meadow.

Naval Air Station arrived in Oak Harbor in 1941 and development began. Oak trees were destroyed and not replanted.

By Carson Lang

I believe that in Oak Harbor, the Garry oak trees need to be saved. They also need to be taken better care of so they live longer. At our school, Crescent Harbor Elementary, we believe that the government should plant more Garry oaks because if they don’t, Garry oaks could become extinct.

That is why the Garry oaks should be saved.

By Jaydin Lopez

I believe we need to bring awareness to the Garry oaks by planting young trees.

The reason why Native Americans planted Garry oak trees is because it is a

source of protein and camas bulbs grow around the oaks.

The Naval Air Station bought all the land when they were building houses, they moved the Garry oaks to Maylors Point. In all of the 54 trees that were transplanted, only 15 survived.

Our school is part of the Crescent Harbor community that decided we need to save the Garry oaks.

By Julie Gonzales

I believe we need to bring awareness to the Garry oaks by planting young trees. If we don’t, they could become extinct in Oak Harbor.

The Native Americans planted Garry oaks as a food source of protein.

Also, Navy Air Station Whidbey arrived in Oak Harbor in 1942, development erased the trees on the base.

By Anthony Fillmore

Garry oaks need to be saved. The purpose is Crescent Harbor needs to replace the Garry oak trees that got cut down.

In our class, Team Rusnak works hard to be responsible.

We will try our best to save the Garry oak trees.

Our school is part of the Crescent Harbor community and we are dedicated to save the Garry oaks.

By Addison Boyer

My class and I are learning about the Garry oak trees.

Garry oaks need to be saved and we need to plant young ones too.

When the US Navy came to Oak Harbor, they bought the land which had lots of Garry oak trees in Crescent Harbor housing. They cut down many Garry oak trees because they needed space.

We need to save and replant the Garry oak tree.

By Lily Isaacs

I believe the Oak Harbor community needs to save Garry oaks because the Navy developed on the land they grew on. In Oak Harbor, our class is dedicated to save the Garry oaks by getting in the newspaper and winning a tree to plant! One reason to save the Garry oaks is because they provide wind and clearly, our class needs to win for this! When the Native Americans came, they planted the Garry oak trees to make a source of protein.

If my class winds, I will be happy because it will be really cool to plant the Garry oak trees to help our community and our nation.

By Leland Deutscher

I believe we need to bring

awareness to the Garry oaks by planting young trees.

Also, Native Americans planted Garry oaks as a source of protein and camas bulbs grown in Oak Harbor meadows.

But, the Naval Air Station arrived in Oak Harbor. they cleared them all out!

That is why we need to save the Garry oak from extinction. Today, we are saving the Garry oak from disappearing.

By Jeremiah Linabury

Our school needs to save Garry oak trees because the Native Americans planted them as a source of protein.

Another reason why we need to save Garry oaks is because the NAS arrived in 1941. Development began and oak trees were destroyed.

Another reason we need to save the Garry oaks is because our school is part of the Crescent Harbor community and we need to show responsibility to future generations.

By Miley Dumbleton

I believe that we should plant more Garry oak trees to cherish later on. That is why I think we should plant Garry oak trees.

My first reason is because Native Americans decided to plant Garry oaks as a source of protein for food.

My second reason is the Naval Air Station arrived in 1941 and the Garry oak trees were destroyed for development.

My third reason is my school is part of the Crescent Harbor community. I want to see a Garry oak!

By Tessa Timm-Veeser

I believe that people should stop cutting down the Garry oaks.

We need to tell the Navy to stop cutting down the Garry oaks to make room for more people. My class is thinking about growing new ones.

Garry oaks could become extinct.

By Emma Campbell

The Garry oak trees need to be saved because we need to keep planting Garry oak trees because it is part of our generations to come in the Oak Harbor community.

I believe that we still need to bring more Garry oaks trees, because I do not know what I will do without Garry oak trees in Oak Harbor.

Native Americans need to keep planting Garry oak trees in Oak Harbor to save them from disappearing completely.

Naval air station arrived in Oak Harbor in 1941, and development began which destroyed many of our oak trees.

RANKING CONTINUED FROM A1 exemplary program.”

To produce the Best High School rankings, U.S. News teamed up with RTI International, a global nonprofit social science research firm. RTI implemented the rankings methodology, which is based on key principles: that a great high school must serve all of its students well,

not just those who are college bound, and that it must be able to produce measurable academic outcomes to show it is successfully educating its student body across a range of performance indicators.

A number of factors helped push Oak Harbor up in the rankings, including strong results on state assessments

and better graduation rates.

In 2012, three-quarters of Oak Harbor High School students graduated on time.

Last year the on-time graduation rate rose to 85 percent — which exceeds virtually every school district in the area.

The state average is 78 percent. And 92 percent of Oak Harbor students graduated, but some took more time.

The voter-approved levy in 2013 allowed the district to

“This is a reThe levy, flection of our for examefforts across ple, allowed the district the district.” to offer more advancement placement courses.

“The recognition and success our schools and students have enjoyed is made possible by having an incredibly skilled, hard-working and dedicated teaching staff,” he said.

“We have some of the finest teachers and staff in the state here in Oak Harbor and I am grateful and proud of all they have done and do every day for our students.”

nival along Bayshore Drive and will continue through the weekend, hoping to bring back fond memories and create new ones.

“To me, it just says community,” said Konopik, the chamber’s events coordinator, who grew up in Oak Harbor and participated in Holland Happening parades as a youth. “It’s a great feeling to belong to a community like this that not only honors its past but also embraces the diversity that we have as well.”

Konopik said the chamber is working to reinvigorate the community’s interest in the festival with new features such as signage in both English and Dutch languages and four wooden, photo boards. Three are Dutch themed.

The 73 vendors that will be part of the downtown street fair were selected by invitation-only this year and asked if they could be involved in games or interactive displays to engage audiences, Konopik said.

The street performers’ acts will be geared more toward entertaining children, she said.

The point is to try to recapture the community’s interest in the festival, harkening back to the days when attendees would come dressed for the occasion in Dutch attire.

Konopik remembers those days well. As a child, she was immersed in the city’s festival scene as the daughter of the Community Band director, and rarely missed a step while participating in parades. Her mother also played in the band.

She remembers women in the community wearing “little

“People really got into it,” Konopik said.

The theme for this year’s event is “Gemeenschap,” which means community.

The traditional Dutch Dinner, prepared by Oak Harbor High School’s Wildcat Catering, will take place from 5:30-7 p.m. Friday, April 29 at the First Reformed Church.

The menu features authentic Dutch dishes such as Erwtensoep (split pea with ham soup), hutspot (mashed potatoes with leeks and sausage), gehaktballetjes en jus (meatballs with gravy), appelmoes (apple sauce), roggebrood (rye bread) and, of course, oliebollen (doughnuts).

The parade is at 11 a.m.

Saturday. The grand marshal is Mike Nortier, the former commanding officer of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and new director of Island Transit.

The entries for the parade have been asked to display a Dutch theme with a minimum of 12 tulips. The chamber offered classes on how to build a float.

Pioneer Way will be the center of the festival, showcasing two entertainment stages and a street fair that takes place Saturday and Sunday.

One of Sunday’s highlights is the Klompen Canal Races that start at 2 p.m.

Konopik said the new changes have been well received and she’s been amazed by the outpouring of community support in her first year of coordinating the event.

“We’re really excited,” she said.

“We feel people getting into it.”

a Cloud.” Her mother, Amy Garrett, was the accompanist.

“It was a song my mom used to play on the piano,” said Garrett, a fourth grader enrolled in Oak Harbor’s Home Connection program.

“It kind of scared me. It seemed really sad. I didn’t really understand it.”

She started singing the song two years ago, then tried it at a school talent show last year and wanted to do it again. Still, the outcome was unexpected in her family.

“I was really surprised,” Garrett said.

“You got first place?” her 7-year-old brother Roland asked.

Even the show’s hosts were student performers, who quizzed contestants and cracked jokes.

Members of the Whidbey Playhouse helped run the event behind the scenes and were instrumental in making it possible, Russell said.

“I knew it could be done,” Russell said of the show, “but there was no way one person could do it.”

He said he wants Whidbey Has Talent to be an annual event.

“The potential for this is unlimited,” Russell said.

s b’

The strategy seemed to help Garrett ward off nerves and assisted her in winning over many hearts at the inaugural Whidbey Has Talent show Sunday.

The tiny 10-year-old from Oak Harbor won the Presentation Division, featuring performers from kindergarten through fifth grade, and found that the plants at home couldn’t match the applause inside the Student Union Building.

“That little Maggie, she just won the audience over,” said Vern Olsen, who served as one of the judges. “She had so much poise in front of the audience.”

Fifty-two performing artists from kindergarten through 12th grade made the cut to participate in the first show. They competed in three different divisions that aligned with elementary, middle and high-school grades.

JR Russell, an Oak Harbor magician and retired Navy captain, came up with the idea to bring together Whidbey Island’s most talented child performers under one roof. For year one, he had to settle with mostly Oak Harbor’s best, though young talent from Coupeville also participated.

“I thought it was pretty awesome,” Russell said. “The first one’s in the books.”

Russell said the show was even christened with a “Steve Harvey moment” when the top three finishers of the Junior Division were announced in the wrong order.

But, there were few hiccups, a lot of people in the seats and plenty of cheers.

“It’s a great experience for kids to do this in front of the community,” said Leah Norton-Gaudreau, whose daughter, Aubree Norton, a fifth-grader at Hillcrest Elementary, performed a dance routine and finished second in the Presentation Division. “It’s fun.”

“It was really exciting,” Aubree Norton said. “I was confident at first. Then I was like, ‘Wait. I’m not that confident.’”

The most polished performers were saved for last.

The Senior Division pitted a

collection of music and dance groups, duets and solo performers.

In the end, it was the dance team known as Legacy that took top honors.

The group featured senior Darnell Dizon, junior Corbin Phipps and sophomores Paige Jackson and Anamae Herrera.

Placing second was Last Sunday, a rock band whose singer, Suzanne Kaltenbach, wrote the song they played called “Moon and Back.”

Third was the duet of Shelby Montoya and Scout Powell.

Each division also had a “People’s Choice” winner voted on by the audience instead of judges.

Last Sunday took that honor.

“We knew they were really good,” Phipps said. “We figured they would win.”

But it was the moves of Phipps and the others that won over the judges.

In the Junior Division, Oak Harbor Middle School sixth-graders Christopher Robertson and Cole Valdez played the guitar and piano in a vocal duet that landed them first place. They finished ahead of Them Johnson Brothers’ Steven and David Johnson and sixth grade vocalist Kayla Raasina, once the order got sorted out.

Announcing the wrong order was jokingly compared to the mistake made famous by television host Steve Harvey, who crowned the wrong winner of the Miss Universe contest in December of 2015.

“At first we were really bummed we got third,” Robertson said. “Then when they said it was backwards, our hearts stopped.”

The duet of Holly Lewis and Audrey Moyes were the People’s Choice winners in the Junior Division.
