Fired after jail death, deputy back on the job
ROCKS Local search for painted stones is catching fire
By JESSIE STENSLAND
jstensland@whidbeynewsgroup.com
The only person fired in connection with a young man’s death inside the Island County jail has returned to work. An arbitrator ruled last month that Island County Sheriff Mark Brown did not have just cause to terminate Pamela McCarty from her job as lieutenant in the jail. It was found, however, that there was cause to demote her to corrections deputy. It was the second time in the past two years that the arbitrator, Gary Axon, ordered the sheriff to give an employee a job back. The sheriff placed McCarty, the BROWN: second in command at the jail, on “We respect the administrative leave, and then fired ruling of the her, after a detective completed his arbitrator and report on Keaton Farris’ April 7, 2015, we’re moving death in the jail from dehydration on.” and malnutrition. The investigation revealed that violations of jail policy and negligence by the staff contributed to the 25-year-old man’s death.

School may be out for the summer but workers are busy making a number of upgrades to Oak Harbor Public Schools, including safety improvements. It’s a continual process with the district making big and small changes as the budget allows. The security upgrades address issues such as lighting a darkened parking lot, keeping people off campus who don’t belong there and keeping kids safe in worst case scenarios. “As close as we are to Marysville, you can’t not think SEE SAFETY, A13

Raelynn Toodle and her brother, Jayden Anderson, have participated in the Whidbey Island Rocks Facebook group by painting and hiding rocks of their own at various parks on the island.
A race car, a ladybug, a flower or even a dinosaur --- 4-year-old Olivia King knows that the painted rocks she’s looking for can be anything. So, holding her little brother A.J.’s hand in Windjammer Park last Friday, she kept her eyes peeled for the brightly painted stones. She was on an adventure greater than that single trip to the park with her family, and her excitement was tangible. And the park’s paved trails and stretch of sandy beach became the routes of a treasure map she created while searching under every piece of driftwood and tree. “We found our first rock at Windjammer on Thursday and they were both just so excited,” said Jenna Taylor King, A.J. and Olivia’s mother. “I couldn’t get her to put it down; she ended up taking her nap holding her rock.” The rock Olivia and her family found last week is just one of many small treasures being planted throughout Whidbey Island thanks to a Facebook group created by Oak Harbor’s Shelly Graham Darnell. The community page, Whidbey Island Rocks, encourages individuals to turn ordinary rocks into extraordinary works of art that are then hid in parks, outside of businesses and just about anywhere else on the island.

It was love at first pose when Beth Wright attended her first session at Unsize Me Hot Yoga Studio in Oak Harbor.
At the time, Wright was working as a registered nurse at the former Whidbey General Hospital (now WhidbeyHealth Medical Center). Though the concept of yoga intrigued her for some time, she

WAIF offering free Trap-Neuter-Return program By CASSANDRA CALDERON ccalderon@whidbeynewsgroup.com
“The more the merrier” is a philosophy the Whidbey Island Animal Improvement Foundation, or WAIF, tends to embrace when it comes to taking in cats and dogs. But as another old saying goes, too much of a good thing is a bad thing, and this rings true when Shari Bibich considers the island’s significant feral and freeroaming cat population. The shelter manager of WAIF’s Coupeville facility, Bibich said the foundation has begun to readdress this issue with a new program, CATsNIP. “There’s a huge feral and free-roaming cat population on the island,” Bibich said. “We have a very kind of up-and-go community and
people don’t always think through having a pet.” Though the shelter alters all animals they host at their adoption centers, WAIF has not offered a spay/neuter program for feral or free-roaming cats for over a decade. But after moving into a larger facility just south of Coupeville last fall, the foundation introduced CATsNIP, a free Trap-Neuter-Return program aimed to help humanely reduce Whidbey’s feral and free-roaming cat population. According to Bibich, feral cats are wild, meaning they have not been socialized with humans, whereas free-roaming cats are often outdoor pets left behind when their owners move. Usually both are unaltered,

meaning they have not been spayed or neutered. Having worked with the foundation since the 1990s, Bibich has seen how Whidbey is particularly susceptible to colonies of feral or free-roaming cats. With a transient and often military-based population, Bibich says it’s not uncommon for cats to be left to live outside with the assumption that they will survive and have little impact on the rest of the community. In truth, most humane societies and animal advocacy groups estimate that even one pair of these unaltered cats can produce about 420,000 offspring over a seven-year period. This can cause a significant issue if left unchecked, which is why Bibich said WAIF wants to help reduce Whidbey’s population of cat colonies. The program kicked off in March and allows community members to trap feral or free-roaming cats in their area and schedule them for the free procedure. The operations take place either the third or fourth

Interested individuals only have to call WAIF’s Coupeville shelter and reserve a slot on their preferred date. If they don’t have the double-sided trap required by the veterinarians at the shelter, Bibich said they can rent one from WAIF with a $40 deposit that is refunded once the trap is returned. “They can bring the cat in at 8:30 in the morning, unless otherwise instructed,” Bibich said. “The vets do the surgeries and then they can pick the cat up in the afternoon and release it.” Every cat altered has the tip of its ear clipped to indicate that the procedure was done and will deter other roaming

Boys rescued after slide down steep park bluff By RON NEWBERRY

Renee Segault gave her children specific instructions when she allowed them to play in an open space away from the bluff at Fort Ebey State Park Tuesday. And when Segault saw her daughter, Rhya, 9, return shortly afterward without her younger brothers, she figured it wasn’t a good sign. “She said, ‘They did exactly what you told them not to do mom,’” Segault said. North Whidbey Fire and Rescue and Navy Region Nor thwest combined efforts to perform a highangle rescue after the two boys slid down into an area of the bluff about 50 feet that was too steep to safely

climb out without help. The brothers, Isaac, 7,
and Daniel, 4, were uninjured after longtime North Whidbey Fire volunteer firefighter Bill Brooks was lowered down to safely retrieve them. The boys were camping at the state park with their Orcas Island family in part to celebrate Daniel’s 5th birthday, which is Wednesday. “My only rule was for them not to go to the cliff’s
edge,” Segault said. Instead, she was told the boys intentionally slid down a ways to a ledge, then couldn’t get back out. The grade below was even steeper and about 100 feet up from the beach. Brooks, who is part of the department’s technical rope rescue team that trains regularly with the Navy and other agencies, said the boys seemed a little
surprised when he came to get them. “I told them we were going to give them a cool red helmet. I said we’ve got to be able to LCES, which means, ‘Look Cool Every Second.’” Mark Kirko, deputy chief with North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, said his department is called to these sort of responses about three of four times a year.

At-home mom turns her passion into a business By CASSANDRA CALDERON ccalderon@whidbeynewsgroup.com
When Lilian Charapich crochets she often works in a continuum. One strand of yarn is worked by one needle in a continuous sequence to create something unique. Each adjacent element is not particularly distinct from the other, yet each time Charapich completes a product it is somehow far from lacking in visual intrigue. A stay-at-home mother of two in Oak Harbor, Charapich turned her love of crocheting into a small business operation in 2014 on Etsy, an online global marketplace that focuses on selling handmade and vintage items. Her page on the site, MadeByLilian, created a modest virtual storefront for the few crocheted items Charapich began selling after her daughter was born. It wasn’t until a customer requested what would become her most popular item later that year that Charapich began selling to customers across the nation and all over the world. Charapich’s success kicked off with a huntressstyle, crossbody cowl neck vest inspired by the bow-andarrow wielding heroine from a recent popular dystopian series. Charapich has always

Lilian Charapich, who first learned to crochet when she was just three, sells handcrafted clothing, pillowcases and other items online, turning her hobby into a small business. held a strong belief that the customer knows best what they want, so when the item was commissioned through Facebook she scoured the internet for a way to make her customer’s vision a reality. “I did a little research, I found a pattern and I crocheted a few samples of the vest,” Charapich said. “After, I posted a few to my Etsy page and within days they all sold.” “I couldn’t believe that
someone would actually find me on Etsy and buy my stuff,” she said. This was only a small taste of the demand for the item Charapich would come to experience. Though orders for the vest slowly rolled in initially, by December 2014 Charapich was receiving several a day from places including Tokyo, Canada and the United Kingdom. Between Dec. 1 and Dec. 22 of 2014, Charapich was crocheting so many vests —

about 22 total — that she injured her back and wrists. “People were requesting them FedExed overnight all across the country, paying ridiculous amounts of money for these cowls,” she said. The art to her craft is not in the endurance and consistency it requires, but in her ability to construct something complex through a simple process she has spent years mastering. Each vest takes Charapich several hours to craft, roughly three to four hours, and each is made to perfection according to Charapich. “When I buy something that’s handmade, I’m definitely looking for perfection.
I put a lot of pride into what I do, and I expect it to be perfect.” Considering the time and attention to detail each item takes to craft, Charapich sells her vests for $90 a piece, though this is becoming increasingly difficult. “I have seen my vest sales go down because Etsy has become so inundated with them and people are selling them for far less than they’re worth,” Charapich said. “I’m getting undercut by people who don’t care about what their time is worth.” For Charapich, it’s discouraging to see new crafters under value their time and, as a result, feel an impact herself. Still, she takes the lull in sales as an oppor tunity rather than a setback. “It is opening the doorway to expand locally,” she said. “Above all, anything that I do craft-wise is really therapeutic and this break is giving me the time to stock up and try making new things.” Recently, Charapich taught herself to embroider and she is dabbling in sewing projects for her business. Using a free-motion technique, she embroiders unique designs onto pillowcases she hopes to sell online and at craft bazaars this fall. She’s already had moderate success, with several orders

underway. Notably, Charapich recently began receiving requests for pillowcases featuring portrayals of her customers’ family members using materials such as baby clothes and work uniforms. “I had a family whose dad is going to deploy and they brought me a piece of his flight suit that I used to embroider a drawing of him on all their pillowcases,” she said. “I put the kids’ nicknames under it and each kid is going to get a pillowcase when he deploys.” Charapich has done similar projects for grandparents and plans to continue crafting decorative pillows as request continue to roll in. “Some of my most popular items are from when someone comes up to me and says, hey do you think you could do this for me... ” she said. As Charapich continues crafting, she hopes to focus on producing quality items that are both unique and requested by customers. “I appreciate when someone purchases from my small business, and I want to pass that on by making something they appreciate,” Charapich said. “What I do is a little bit old school, but I really enjoy it,” she said.

REINSTATED CONTINUED FROM A1 De Dennis, the jail administrator, retired after the sheriff suspended him and announced that the future of his employment was uncertain. Two corrections deputies quit after Detective Ed Wallace, who investigated the death, found that they had falsified logs. The jail nurse also quit. Fred Farris, Keaton Farris’ father, said the family is disheartened to hear about the arbitrator’s decision on McCarty. He pointed out that the Whatcom County Prosecutor’s Office and U.S. Department of Justice are still investigating, and he hopes criminal charges will be forthcoming. “Axon clearly states the ‘lack of concern and indifference for the well-being of Keaton Farris’ when he ruled on her demotion,” he said. “McCarty’s own admittance ‘I didn’t do my job’ and this very ‘indifference’ not only justify a firing, but we feel warrant criminal charges.” After McCarty was fired, the deputy sheriff’s union filed a grievance claiming that she did not violate the policies and that any such violation did not warrant termination. Brown denied the grievance, arguing that McCarty failed to properly supervise the corrections deputies and to follow jail policies. As a result, the union moved the grievance to arbitration. In his decision, Axon concluded that McCarty shouldn’t be fired for violating policies that weren’t properly disseminated to staff. He wrote that he agreed with Detective Wallace’s testimony describing the adoption and promulgation of policies in the jail “a train wreck.” Nevertheless, Axon found
that McCarty’s failure to learn and follow policies regarding “safety cells” — and to adequately supervise staff — warranted discipline short of termination. “It is because of this lack of concern and indifference to the well-being of (Farris) that I am compelled to conclude … McCarty should be demoted back to corrections deputy,” Axon wrote in his decision. Axon held a hearing at which both sides presented numerous exhibits and witnesses and outlined the facts of the case in his decision. Farris was taken into custody on March 21, 2015, and first brought to the Snohomish County Jail. He was suffering from significant mental health problems and was unpredictable and non-communicative. After being transferred to Skagit County jail, Farris arrived at Island County Jail on March 26. Farris was initially held in a padded “safety cell” for four days, but no one “took the time to make an effort to actually observe (Farris) consuming food and water,” the report states. McCarty and Dennis made a joint decision to move Farris from the safety cell to a regular cell even though he was covered in food and observed crawling around and eating off the floor. McCarty gave no explanation for the decision, Axon wrote. McCarty told the deputies to “leave that man alone” after he was observed either coughing or choking with a rag in his mouth. A judge in San Juan County ordered that Farris be evaluated at Western State Hospital, but the hospital refused to take him because of limited bed space; he was kept in jail
despite the court order. At the jail, corrections deputies noted that Farris was not eating or drinking; nevertheless, they turned his water off after he flooded his cell and then stuck his head in the toilet. At that point, Keaton Farris was completely dependent on the deputies for water but no one observed what he actually drank. The jail nurse assessed Farris on April 6 for the first time, but she “was not allowed into the cell to conduct the assessment.” A mental health professional from Washington State Hospital also conducted a perfunctory assessment on Farris April 6, Axon noted. The jail logs show that Farris continued to refuse water or spilled it. The last time deputies checked on Farris was 3 p.m. on April 7. He was found dead at 12:30 a.m. on April 8. Axon’s report doesn’t include Detective Wallace’s analysis of the water given to Farris in the jail; the detective found that the water offered was significantly less than Farris needed to survive even if he drank all that was provided. During the arbitration hearing, the guild argued that McCarty was unfairly punished while others were not. “The Sheriff terminated McCarty, in the context of politics, bad publicity and litigation, as a scapegoat for the institutional failings from the top down,” the deputies’ union argued. The sheriff’s attorney, however, said that McCarty failed to learn or follow new policies. She wasn’t aware that checks weren’t performed and that Farris wasn’t given water. “McCarty demonstrated an utter failure of leadership in the jail in this area, and an inmate died without having the medical care, mental health assessment,

and nourishment/water that the procedure required,” the sheriff’s attorney argued in arbitration. Ultimately, Axon found that summary discharge of McCarty was too harsh but a demotion warranted. He ordered that she be reinstated and paid back wages. “We respect the ruling of the arbitrator and we’re moving on,” Brown said. Last year, Axon ruled that the sheriff was wrong in fir-
ing Detective John Nieder for sexually harassing a fellow detective. Axon concluded that the sexual harassment did occur and that Nieder’s testimony to the contrary was not credible, but he decided that termination was too harsh; instead, he decided that Nieder should be given 30 days without pay and a warning letter. Lieder currently works as a deputy on Camano Island.

IN OUR OPINION Get out, join the search for rocks and Pokémon Whidbey Island Rocks is capturing the imagination and interest of people of all ages in our community in a way that is interactive and fun. In case you haven’t already heard, painted rocks are being hidden in plain site for people to discover. A message is written on the back of each rock asking that the finder post a picture of it at www.facebook.com/groups/ WhidbeyIslandRocks/ The photos are being posted on the page in staggering numbers now. In a relatively short time, the Facebook page has swelled to more than 3,500 followers, and that number will probably increase significantly with the publication of reporter Cassandra Calderon’s story about the Whidbey Rocks on page one of today’s Whidbey NewsTimes. According to a message on the Whidbey Island Rocks page, the group was created after a group saw a similar page called “Port Angeles Rocks” and decided they wanted to bring the fun to Whidbey. And how fortunate is the community that they did? Whidbey Island Rocks is a fantastic way to get people outdoors and exploring their community in a way they never have. Entire families are searching parks and public areas for painted rocks. The rocks boast a variety of artwork by people of varying skill levels. How good the paint job is doesn’t matter. Simply discovering one is a thrill. The Whidbey Island Rocks website offers some simple guidelines for participating in the planting and discovering of the rocks, including being respectful of private property and not hiding them in the grass where mowers could run over them and propel them into the air. Check out the site for additional tips. The News-Times also reported Saturday on the Pokémon Go craze that is leading smartphone users on a hunt to discover virtual creatures that are also hiding in plain site. Some have criticized the Pokémon trend because people are becoming mesmerized by their phones, and their search has led them into areas they shouldn’t tread. Nonetheless, like the Whidbey Island Rocks scavengher hunt, the Pokémon Go is getting people off their couches, out from in front of their TVs and outside into the fresh air. How many of us have prodded our own children to put down their video game controllers and go find real friends to play with? As with pretty much any activity, common sense should always prevail. Whether searching for painted rocks or Pokémon, always be aware of your surroundings, and never put yourself in a precarious position. Grab the kids and get searching.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Voting record
Bailey stands up for vets, local issues Editor, In reference to Vicki Robin’s July 6 letter to the editor of the Whidbey NewsTimes, what does she mean by “wrong side/right side?” I see that Ms. Robin took a page out of the Democrat/Progressive “playbook” and threw out frivolous and disingenuous charges against state Sen. Barbara Bailey. First of all, Sen. Barbara Bailey’s record stands for itself. She is very concerned about jobs, small business, farms, and for all citizens to have fair wages. She is very concerned about clean air, the environment and pollution, regardless of your false charges against her. Furthermore, she is for the Second Amendment and freedom for citizens to have the means to defend themselves and their families. By the way, the citizens of Orlando, Fla., were murdered by the selfacclaimed, “Isis terrorist.” It was the terrorist with the gun who murdered, not the gun alone. Yes, Bailey is endorsed by the
Freedom Foundation, a respected organization to protect the citizens of Washington state and to also weed out corruption and to restore honesty and integrity to the state. It is not trying to take away your Social Security and Medicare, Ms. Robin, so stop trying to use scare tactics and misinformation. This also includes the statements made about ALEC. I’m not sure where you are getting your facts, but you are having a hard time coming up with reasonable statements and the truth. As you demonize the ultra-rich Koch brothers, you might want to also look up the truth about George Soros and his “elite ultra-rich” status, funding Obama and Hillary and many others. You mentioned you didn’t have much info on Angie Homola’s voting record, but she shares your personal interests. She served one term and was not reelected. Sen. Bailey is a Navy wife and worked hard to help veterans and military families. We are privileged to have her as our state senator. She works hard for both local and state issues. She is also concerned about our nation and in keeping America strong and safe. Thank you, Sen. Bailey. You have my vote.

Violence
Shoot-first cops are creating a distrust
Editor, Island County Sheriff Mark Brown says, “Cops aren’t to blame for community violence.” Well, that may be so in Island County, where there are only three African Americans for every 100 whites living here. In the eastern and southern states, where white racist cops are taking down African-Americans at an alarming rate for what appear to be questionable or non-existent reasons, communities are rebelling. In Seattle, ask Ron Simms, a former King County executive who is black, why he was pulled over by Seattle cops eight times. One stop was for cause — a non-working headlight. The shoot-first, ask-later practices of cops in other areas of the country are causing many to distrust domestic policing in our nation. Mr. Brown disagrees. He suggests we should “not target good police officers, but instead focus on the real problem, the violence coming out of SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

OF THE WEEK:
What do you think of the new mobile game Pokemon Go that has people wandering all over town?
“It’s a good game. It’s a good way to get outside.” Koa Davison Coupeville
“I think it’s really cool. Even though they’re on their phones, they are outside and walking. … People driving with it is hazardous.” Jayden Curtis Oak Harbor

LOOKING BACK: FROM THE ARCHIVES
‘Finest scenic highway’ opens on Whidbey 100 years ago (1916 — Oak Harbor News)
n The new county highway, which would run from Cornet to Langley, was soon to be completed. It was editorialized in a page-one story that the highway would be the “finest scenic highway in the Pacific Northwest.” n Mr. and Mrs. St. Ives returned to Oak Harbor after touring the country on the various vaudeville circuits. “Their little humorous sketch” was well-received in all of the larger cities and they did well financially, sending funds home regularly to support the Hotel Sheldonian. n “Joe Maylor’s front yard is a thing of beauty and joy forever. Seldom do you see a more beautiful display of roses,” a page-one story read in its entirety. n A letter to the editor implored farmers not to destroy birds’ nests, for the birds were beneficial in keeping the fly and maggot population in check. n At the Cash Store, canned oysters cost two for 15 cents, while tobacco cost 45 cents per pound. A half-pound of Hershey’s cocoa cost 20 cents.
75 years ago (1941 — Farm Bureau News) n The Holland Days carnival was rather small, which a page-one story attributed to the fact that Oak Harbor was a “bad carnival town,” thus prompting large concession owners to avoid it and opt for bookings elsewhere. The story also attributed the lack of many attractions to the fact that several community members had placed restrictions on acceptable amusements in past years. n Although the Holland Days festival was “short in floats and street activities,” the livestock show was said to be the greatest in Holland Days history.

“I’ve been seeing kids and adults having fun. It’s a fun app for people to do together.” Sherry Bodie Oak Harbor
n Frank Emory of Oak Harbor was one of 10 Civilian Pilot Training program students to receive a flight scholarship, entitling him to 35 hours of flying instruction for free. n Whidbey Island was mentioned in an article in The Christian Science Monitor. Correspondent Kate Archibald, who was well-acquainted with the island, wrote of the island’s early history and described its “beauty, charm and commercial property.” n At Barney’s in Oak Harbor “Mor, the meat for every occasion” cost 25 cents per 12-ounce can and three pounds of macaroni or spaghetti cost 15 cents.
50 years ago (1966 — Whidbey News-Times) n South Whidbey prepared for an anticipated population boom as the Boeing company established its plant at Paine Field just south of Everett. About 10,000 new jobs were expected to be created with the opening of the plant. n Rear Admiral Joseph A. Jaap, U.S.N., assumed command of Com-Fair Whidbey from Captain Donald Gumz who retired after 30 years of Navy duty. n The Whidbey News-Times conducted a poll and asked Oak Harbor residents “what Oak Harbor will need most in the next 10 years.” The majority said a community hall, while sidewalks came in second place. n Whidbey Island furnished the Dairy Princess for Skagit, Island and San Juan counties for the first time since the contest’s inception several years prior. “Pretty dark-haired, blue-eyed Ellen Engle of Coupeville” was crowned winner out of a slate of seven candidates at the annual Dairy Banquet in Mount Vernon. n Sprouse-Reitz Variety Stores adver-
tised a 27-cent sale. Patrons could buy an assortment of goods, including cowboy hats, golf balls, ladies’ slippers, toy monkeys and dustpans for 27 cents.
25 years ago (1991 — Whidbey News-Times) n Washington schools won three national awards in the National History Day competition, and two of them were Coupeville’s. Sheila Mathis took first place for her paper, “A Nation at War: The Conscientious Objector in American History.” Nathaneal O’Hara and Cody West placed fourth with their media project on Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve entitled “Community Preservation vs. Individual Property Rights.” n The Base Closure and Realignment Commission and key staff members suggested Whidbey may be removed from the list of recommended base closures to be handed to President George Bush July 1. Commissioner Howard “Bo” Callaway, who visited Oak Harbor and the base, told reporters the base should not be closed as it would not save enough money to be worthwhile, but would severely impact the local economy. n For the third year in a row, Crockett Lake-area residents were faced with a larger-than-expected hatch of saltwater mosquitos. Some residents demanded that Island County officials take tougher measures to halt infestations. n Ed Spromberg was slated to ask the Coupeville Town Council to order an environmental impact study before authorizing a new concert pavilion in Town Park. The town planner had decided to bypass such a study on the Concerts on the Cove pavilion project, but Council members agreed to hear Spromberg’s appeal to that decision.

Jet noise
The question is, where is the accountability? Editor, Robert Brown’s July 13 letter to the editor spoke to jet noise avoidance being a home buyer’s responsibility. He knew all about the jet noise, did his research and bought accordingly. But let’s look at buyer Joe. Perhaps Joe was unaware or misinformed by others who didn’t have his interest at heart, or he trusted anecdotal sources that said jet noise was no problem. Maybe after buying, the Navy changes from a fifty-fifty split on flight paths “x” and “y” to all on path “y,” doubling the number of operations over Joe’s house. Or, maybe Joe believed in the limited number of jet operations the Navy had promised but later finds that pledge ignored and operations doubled — both true.
Maybe Joe finds out that the new Growlers on approach over his house are nearly twice as loud as the Prowlers and that the environmental assessment used bogus and cherry-picked data to manufacture a no-impact finding for the Prowler to Growler switch — also true. Maybe one day Joe finds out that neither the county nor the Navy forthrightly provided information about health risks of toxic jet noise on adults, children, and the unborn fetus — research findings they know about but prefer to ignore — how sadly true. Joe probably didn’t known that all of the following violate the Navy’s OLF planning document, AICUZ 2005, which specifies that within the 65-decibel noise contour none of these should exist: The 1,000-plus existing homes, the heavily used county recycle center, the outdoor swimming pool at Admirals Cove, the new transit facility with above-ground fuel storage tanks, the youth athletic fields and campground at Rhododendron Park, and a motel recently converted to a residence for 90-plus homeless youngsters who will experience 100-120 decibel noise — hard-to-believe TRUE. The “true list” goes on. But back to Mr. Brown’s concern about responsibility. Seems to me it is the Navy and Island County that have side-stepped their responsibility and helped Joe to err
in their favor. So, in addition to asking, “who’s responsible?” let’s also ask, “where is the accountability?” Ken Pickard Coupeville

Boom! There goes another firework Editor, I agree with Tom Pacher’s July 13 letter to editor. I didn’t even see times allowed for fireworks posted in the paper this year. But I don’t think he should blame just kids, but “big kids” too. I’ve lived in Oak Harbor for some 45 years and have dreaded the Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve. Each year I spent every night of the festivities with a large quivering, drooling dog in my lap. Now we have much bigger and powerful fireworks, and boy, do they shake the foundations of the house. I guess they call them mortars. So glad my dogs are in heaven now. Trying to go to sleep at midnight is not possible, because after a few minutes, “Boom! There goes another one.” Mimi Bouchee Oak Harbor

Lindberg’s Legs: Runners honor former coach By JIM WALLER
jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com
Jake Marriott and Wes Berry each flew nearly 5,000 miles to run 33. For Shaun Rooney, the trip took him across the United States. The trio of former Oak Harbor High School track and cross country athletes returned to Washington to join three other teammates, Eric Smith and Jason Jamerson, now of Everett, and Brian Tyhuis of Oak Harbor, to compete in the Northwest Passage Ragnar Relay July 15 and 16. They came, however, to do more than just run the grueling race. They came to honor their high school coach, Eric Lindberg, who died Feb. 9, 2015. And they came to fulfill a dream — literally. The Ragnar Relay series features 18 different road races sprinkled across the Unites States. One, the Northwest Passage, covers 200 miles from Blaine to Langley. Most Ragnar Relay teams include 12 runners; some go ultra, doing the distance with only six. That is what the former Wildcats
decided to do, a punishing 33 miles each spread over six legs, all in about 30 hours. Marriott came from Peru, Berry from Japan and Rooney from Virginia. Such was the draw of honoring Lindberg. The idea for the tribute came from a dream Keira Jamerson, Jason’s wife and Marriott’s sister, had during last year’s relay. She woke about 2 a.m. Saturday morning to tell her husband and brother about the vision for honoring Lindberg as an ultra team. Jason Jamerson and Marriott, weary from running all day Friday and rummy from a lack of sleep, were preparing for the second day of the 2015 event. In that foggy state, they agreed it was a great idea. Little did they know how difficult running as an ultra team would be. When Marriott posted the idea on Facebook, the sixman team was filled almost instantly as Berry, Rooney, Smith and Tyhius jumped aboard. “This was something for coach Lindberg,” Berry said. “It wasn’t something to be missed.”

Since Tyhuis was the first to signup and conveniently lived in Oak Harbor, he became the team captain “by default,” he said, and handled most of the paperwork and organization for the team, which they labeled “Lindberg’s Legs.”
All competed for Lindberg and OHHS in the mid to late 1990s. “We are all from the same era, keep in contact and are still tight,” Smith said. “We just wanted to do something to honor him.” In separate interviews,
Yeah Dogg leads local sailboats By JIM WALLER
jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com
Yeah Dogg, skippered by Chad Holcomb, sailed home with the best finish among Oak Harbor boats in the 34th Annual Whidbey Island Race Week Regatta July 11-15, finishing second in its classification. Four Oak Harbor boats were among 64 spread over two divisions and nine classifications. Yeah Dogg was second out of five boats in the Fleet 8 (less than 45) Performance Handicap Racing Fleet Division. It took second in five of the eight individual races and recorded a total score of 16. Oak Harbor’s Sling Shot, skippered by Rick Almberg, raced in the same classification and placed fifth with 33 points. Its best finishes were fourth in two races. Oak Harbor’s Lucky Jim, skippered by Jim McAlpine, was fourth out of six boats in Fleet 9-PHRF (greater than 180) with 31 points. Lucky Jim’s best showings were a pair of third-place finishes. The other Oak Harbor boat, Gadzooks, skippered by Rex DuPuis, took ninth in Fleet 7-PHRF (115-142) with 60 points. It registered three eighth-place finishes.

each runner said they wanted to honor Lindberg because he taught them to be “men of character.” All mentioned how Lindberg stressed honesty, loyalty, respect and responsibility. “He prepared us for life,” Marriott said. “He was an honorable man who loved his boys. We remained friends for life.” “It was a way to mourn and a way to celebrate what he did for us,” Tyhuis said. “We really wanted to do something for Barbara (Lindberg’s wife), too. She was a big part of it.” Keira Jameson, who drove the van during this year’s relay, never ran for coach Lindberg, but she attended all her brother’s high school events, prepared spaghetti dinners for the team on the eve of meets and handed out treats afterward. This drew her near to Lindberg and his family. “As time passed, we became adult friends,” she said. “I have always been inspired by Eric and Barbara as a couple, the respect and love they shared with each other and others.” Barbara Lindberg, along with son Chris, daughter Erin and their families, thanked the six and their friends and families at the end of the race with a picnic. Craig Pedlar and Pat Wagner,
former members of coach Lindberg’s coaching staff, also took part. Barbara Lindberg said she “just cried” when she heard about the six running to honor her husband. “I love these guys, who are now men, like my sons,” she said. “The love they have for Eric goes beyond. Our whole family is so thankful for and appreciative of them; they are a blessing to us all.” The group hopes to make this a yearly event but with the more traditional 12-man team in the future. Running as an ultra team was brutal and three of the six were injured, forcing the others to pick up some extra miles. As a result, Tyhuis and Jamerson each ran more that 40 miles. They ran to honor Lindberg and all that he taught them. Ironically, it was those lessons that inspired them to finish what they started. With all the injuries, the group discussed quitting the race. “We wanted to be smart about it, to be adults about it,” Marriott said. “But we realized we needed to finish for Coach.” Keira Jamerson quoted Berry, who said, “We came too far to give up; we are not going to let Coach down.” From that point, some walked on injured legs and some ran backward to ease leg cramps — anything necessary to reach the finish line. The exterior of the team van was decorated with Lindberg’s favorite inspirational sayings. One prominently displayed said, “Tough guys win.” Lindberg often asked his athletes: “Who do you want to be in the trenches with?” Lindberg emphasized that cross country, like life, was a team sport. Do whatever it takes to help your teammate finish. The six realized it was time to put those slogans to work. “Everyone had to go beyond what they could,” Marriott said. “It wasn’t for the pizza, beer or barbecue at the end. It wasn’t just for Coach, either. It was for each other.” And Coach wouldn’t want it any other way.

Business owner hopes customers flip over pinball By KYLE JENSEN kjensen@whidbeynewsgroup.com
With the flashing yellow-tinted lights and clinking and ringing of the pinball machines in The Machine SHOP, it’s easy to feel transported to a 1970s video arcade. But it’s 2016, and the sounds come from The Machine SHOP, located on Second Street in Langley. The arcade, which opened in July, is a offshoot of owner Tim Leonard’s hobbies: collecting pinball machines, building and fixing things and lights and art. Leonard’s 25 or so pinball machines are electromechanical machines, a model that pinball companies stopped producing in 1979. Today’s pinball machines are digitized. With those new “fancy pants machines,” Leonard said, the sound and feel that early gamers experienced with the old machines is lost. “You can just feel the machine moving and working as the ball pings around and you work the flippers,” he said. “It’s exciting, and I just love the sound of the old machines.” Leonard said he plans to turn the arcade into a hub for Langley’s arts. The walls are decked out with his own light fixtures, which he made in his shop; he also plans to display local artists’ work in his arcade space. About five years ago he began collecting retro pinball machines and, in the process, learned how to repair them and build them from scratch. “I have 25 or so machines, so I had to do something,” Leonard recalled. “I was either going to start selling them or make a business.” The bakery is next door to the arcade, and the businesses share an entrance. Leonard said he thought it the perfect fit. He didn’t have to worry about noise being an issue, and Baugh was looking forward to the additional business for her bakery. The two hashed out an arrangement where bakery employees would monitor the arcade when Leonard wasn’t present, keeping his expenses low. Rent is reasonable given it’s a shared space. Their deal was crucial, as arcades have been struggling to stay afloat these days since quarters don’t have the value they once did in the arcade heyday, Leonard said. “I draw people into the bakery, they draw people into the arcade — it’s a very symbiotic relationship,” Leonard said. “There’s also the laundromat next door, so you can play pinball while your laundry is drying.” “The arcade brings a little bit of edginess combined with a retro feel that takes people back to their days when they were kids,” Callison said. “I think he’s captured that pretty well.”

Roger Sherman speaks with a guest who came to hear him talk about Whidbey Island maritime history and a new book that he’s working on during ‘Porch Stories’ at the Island County Museum last week. Sherman’s interest in nautical artifacts is reflected in the den of his Coupeville home, below.
SEA TALES Whidbey maritime history is ingrained in Roger Sherman
By RON NEWBERRY rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com
For the sake of delivering a talk about maritime history last week, Roger Sherman left the comforts of his own home and addressed a small group on the porch of the Island County Museum. With sailboats from Whidbey Island’s Race Week serving as a backdrop in Penn Cove, the setting couldn’t have been much more perfect. What most of the 20 or so people who gathered at the museum didn’t realize, however, is that Sherman doesn’t have to leave his house to get an intimate feel for the island’s nautical past. Although his home offers a view of the vessels that pass through Admiralty Inlet, Sherman gets the ultimate experience from his ground-floor den. In 1996, he had the mostly bare room remodeled, transforming it into what resembles the officer’s quarters of a 19th century squarerig sailing ship. Sherman had collected so many
nautical artifacts over the years that he needed a place to display some and store others, so he and his wife Darlene reached a compromise, resulting in the elaborate remodel. “At the time, she would’ve rather had a new kitchen,” Sherman said. “She humored me.” Two years later, Sherman selfpublished 1,500 copies of a book that was mostly about Whidbey Island’s maritime history and partly about a story that had been passed down in his family. The book, “The Sinking of the Calista, Part 1 of a Maritime History of Central Whidbey Island,” was one of the topics that brought Sherman to downtown Coupeville as part of the museum’s “Porch Stories” series last Wednesday. Eighteen years later, there is talk about Part 2. “Everyone’s been bugging him since he wrote, ‘The Sinking of the Calista,’ because he put part one on there,” Rick Castellano, the museum’s executive director, told the group. “That was definitely a mistake,” Sherman said, drawing hardy
laughter. “I’m not very fast,” he said later. Sherman, 81, said he’s about 40 percent done with the second book and will finish it as long as his health allows. He wants to go into more depth about the island’s maritime past, including the role of Ebey’s Landing and the island’s fishing resorts, among other topics. The first book devoted chapters to early island transportation and the Mosquito Fleet but put much of its focus on the Calista, a Coupeville-based steamer that ran the Seattle-to-Whidbey route from 1911 to 1922, carrying passengers and freight. In the late morning of July 27, 1922, the Calista entered a thick fog as it approached Seattle and was struck by a Japanese freighter. It sank in 28 minutes but all 75 people on board survived, including members of Sherman’s extended family. The tale gripped Sherman’s
fascination in maritime history. Although he spent his career as a farmer, he also helped lead a Boy Scouts of America Sea Explorer program for more than 25 years. Castellano considers him one of the island’s resident experts on maritime history. He’s seen Sherman’s den, which includes four ship wheels, including one from an old ferry that used to travel from North Whidbey to Camano Island known as the Acorn. The walls and arched ceiling are custom made using oak. There are port lights that illuminate historic photos. “I’m really proud of him,” Al Sherman said of his brother. “He does a lot of research.” And he’s evened the score with his wife, too, as evidenced by another remodel upstairs. “She got her kitchen,” Roger Sherman said.

SAFETY
CONTINUED FROM A1 about it,” said Brian Hunt, facilities director. “We continue to do some proactive stuff,” Hunt said. “We’re fortunate we have a very good relationship with Oak Harbor police and fire.” He’s referring to the school shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School in 2014, when a 15-year-old freshman student shot five other students. For the past several years, the Oak Harbor Fire and Police departments have worked with the district to conduct lock down and active shooter drills. The active shooter drills occur when class isn’t session, although the police recruited Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps students to play the role of victims. In some school shootings, children have died because first responders weren’t able to get into the school to help in time, fire chief Ray Merrill said. “The departments weren’t prepared or capable during an active shooting,” he said. “That’s not going to happen here.” Paramedics and emergency technicians are prepared to respond wearing bullet-proof vests and Kevlar helmets, and they have a coordinated plan with the police, Merrill said. The fire department also has models of most of the schools, he said. “The (district) is being very proactive to make sure staff and students are as safe as possible,” he said.
YOGAFEST CONTINUED FROM A1 Two and-a-half years later, Wright is retired from her 40-year career in nursing, which included more than 12 years on the ER floor, and now attends about five hot yoga classes per week along with her husband, Donald, who is retired from the Coast Guard. The Wrights will be two out of the hundreds of yoga enthusiasts convening at Fort Nugent Park Saturday for the fourth annual Whidbey Island YogaFest. The festival is 10 a.m. to noon.

Other improvements deal with school campuses. One of the most visible to people living in Capehart Housing is a fence surrounding the perimeter of Crescent Harbor Elementary. The school, built in the 1960s, sits in the middle of the military housing and it’s never been clear where the school district property ends, Hunt said. “We don’t want to lock it up on weekends,” he said. “People can still access it then.” Next on his list is Broadview Elementary, and other schools may receive fencing in the future if needed, Hunt said. The school also is the last to get a visible sign with the school name on the side of the building, which helps visitors and first responders in an emergency know they’re at the right place. Crescent Harbor also is one of the last schools to get new LED lighting. The lighting uses a third of the energy of the old lights but puts off double the light. The lighting also is in place in parking lots, an improvement for teachers and custodians who walk to their cars on dark, winter nights. The district also is systematically adding security cameras to schools. Oak Harbor High School, Oak Harbor Middle School and Hillcrest Elementary already have them. North Whidbey Middle School is getting some this fall. The cameras already have been helpful, Hunt said. For instance, in March a man threatened Oak Harbor Middle School staff, and police were able to view the tapes from that morning, which helped identify the suspect. Admission is free with donation of a canned food item for Oak Harbor Help House. The festival was founded and is coordinated by Unsize Me Hot Yoga Studio instructor and owner Carol Sele. Sele said that all ages and abilities are welcome to attend, including expert yogis as well as those who have never stepped foot on a mat. Sele said she envisions the festival one day being a tourist attraction, beckoning visitors to enjoy the environment while learning and experiencing the benefits of yoga. “I really feel that yoga has changed my life in multiple positive ways,” Wright said. “I can’t recommend it

Chris McBride, left, and Matt Slattum install a fence around the perimeter of Crescent Harbor Elementary. While most school buses already have cameras inside, about a half dozen are also getting cameras that will catch drivers who don’t stop for school buses with the “stop” sign out, said Francis Bagarella, director of transportation. These cameras capture the license plates of drivers. The district put in the first two at the end of the school year and already six violations have been prosecuted, Bagarella said. He hopes the cameras will encourage drivers to pay attention. Bus drivers with routes along Heller Road and Whidbey Avenue in particular encounter drivers who aren’t paying attention and ignore the “stop” sign. In one case, a driver passed a bus on the right, driving onto the sidewalk. “Our big thing is children’s safety,” he said. enough.” “It really is medicine.” It appears Sele’s dream is beginning to come to fruition. In an email, Sele wrote that she expects this year’s festival to be “larger than ever,” with sponsors attending from off-island locales including Portland, Seattle and even Maryland. In addition to professional yoga instruction, the event will include live ambient music, raffles, health-based vendors and entertainment acts like acro yoga and hula-hooping. “There’s no downside to it,” Wright said of the festival. “It’s a lot of fun, a great feeling of community and everybody is welcome.”
START YOUR MORNING THE
with paint, sharpie markers, crayons and more. They just need a protective coat of clear paint, Graham Darnell said, and to feature a short message on the back sharing the name of the Facebook group and instructions. Once rocks are found, the “rock hunters” are asked to post a picture of their find to the online page, usually with a short message detailing their experience and their location. Then the rocks can be kept, re-hid or swapped out for a new creation. “It’s a low-cost family activity that gets people to go outside and explore the beautiful place that we live in while blessing someone else with a small gift,” Graham Darnell said. Graham Darnell decided to start the group after a friend tagged her in a Facebook post about a similar group in Port Angeles. Though she created the Facebook group just five weeks ago, it has already drawn 3,503 members and averages about 30 new posts everyday. “A lot of friends and family quickly caught onto the idea and it just snowballed from there,” Graham Darnell said. “It was crazy how quickly everyone caught on.” With so many participants, Olivia’s family is not the only one staking out Windjammer. Jayden Anderson, 7, and his 4-year old-sister Raelynn Toodle have spent practically every day hiding and searching for rocks since joining the online group two weeks ago. “My car is full of rocks --- at least over 40 rocks in the back of my car all over the place right now,” said
Ashley Anderson, Raelynn and Jayden’s mother. “He has forever been picking up sticks or rocks,” added Vicki Matthews, Jayden and Raelynn’s grandma. “So it was neat to find an outlet for that.” Jayden’s family also spent last Friday afternoon at Windjammer planting several creations of their own and scoring one find in the process. For both Taylor King and Anderson, Whidbey Island Rocks has been a way to get their kids outside and entertained during the summer break. But the group isn’t just appealing to kids ---- adults are also participating in the creative process. Longtime Oak Harbor resident Akemi Yonezaki has painted and contributed at least a dozen rocks to the phenomenon. For Yonezaki, the activity is a rewarding creative outlet that she feels is connecting the local community in a time of national need. Yonezaki has found that the activity is rewarding at every stage ---- whether someone is painting a rock, hiding one or finding one, a feeling of great joy is the result. “It is touching to see how much your rock means to someone else when they find it,” she said. “You’re just giving a small piece of yourself, a small rock that’s meaningful, but getting so much more in return.” “The sense of community and connectedness is something we can all use right now,” she added. Graham Darnell couldn’t agree more. “It’s a really cool feeling to stumble upon something like that,” Graham Darnell said. “It’s completely unexpected and exciting.”
