Homola, Bailey battle for pivotal Senate seat

By JESSIE STENSLAND

jstensland@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Of the races affecting Whidbey Island, the battle for a state Senate seat is one of the few sparking any heat between candidates.

It’s a particularly important race for state political parties and is anticipated to be a close one.

Incumbent Barbara

ELECTION 2016 Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, is nearing the end of her first term as senator for the 10th District. She is being challenged by Democrat Angie Homola, of Oak Harbor, a former Island County commissioner.

In the Aug. 2 primary, Bailey won 51 percent of the vote while her two Democratic rivals combined won nearly 49 percent.

The outcome may be key in determining which party holds the majority in the Senate.

No charges in death resulting from dispute

By JESSIE STENSLAND

jstensland@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Prosecutors declined to file charges against a teenager who punched a man and ultimately caused his death following an altercation outside an Oak Harbor restaurant July 26.

Evidence shows that it was a clear case of self-defense, Island County Chief Criminal Deputy Prosecutor Eric Ohme concluded.

“This case is a tragedy,” he said.

“Though I highly doubt that the thought crossed either of these mens’ minds, people need to be aware that being punched in the head even once can result in death.

It doesn’t always take a deadly weapon for a confrontation to turn deadly.”

On Wednesday, Ohme filed his decision. It outlines the evidence gathered by Oak Harbor police and cites law.

State ferries official says Whidbey has a shot at getting new, 144-vehicle ferry

By JUSTIN BURNETT

jburnett@whidbeynewsgroup.com

The success of South Whidbey’s quest for second 144-car ferry on the Clinton-

Mukilteo route may be determined soon.

Leaders from Washington State Ferries are scheduled to meet over the next couple of weeks to discuss where to put the newest

ferry, the Suquamish.

There’s no guarantee that a decision could be made and announced as soon as early November.

“There’s going to be movement, that’s my gut,” said Ian Sterling, an agency spokesman.

Traffic was reduced to one lane along Fort Casey Road in Coupeville Thursday after a two-vehicle accident that injured a Coupeville woman and killed a horse in a horse trailer. A second horse also was injured.

rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com

A rear-end accident in Coupeville left one woman aching from back pain and heartsick over her horse.

A man driving a truck southbound on Fort Casey Road struck a horse trailer attached to a truck that had stopped for a school bus, said Jerry Helm, captain with Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue.

Three Coupeville women were in the truck that was struck. One was was transported to WhidbeyHealth Medical Center with back pain while the others involved in the accident escaped injuries.

But what made the scene more hear twrenching for the women was that one horse was killed and another slightly injured, Helm said.

“It doesn’t happen all the time,” Helm said about responding to an incident involving a horse. “When we do, there’s usually a lot of emotion. It adds another element of complexity to the scene.

“The three were pretty grief-stricken.”

A veterinarian who lived nearby also assisted with the incident.

Central Whidbey Fire was able to divert traffic around the accident and keep one lane open.

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Squadron VP-30 took delivery of the Navy’s newest P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft Friday.

Rear Adm. Kyle Cozad, Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Group, visited the base to meet with media to discuss the strategic importance of the Navy’s maritime patrol and reconnaissance modernization efforts. Cozad, along with other top officials, gave a detailed look at the high-tech aircraft.

A ribbon cutting ceremony was also held for

the newest Fleet Training Center which will officially open Oct. 31.

The facility will provide networked simulators for pilots and aircrew to train with multiple other aircraft in different parts of the country. Each of the six P-8 squadrons will have their own dedicated simulator to conduct training.

Previously, four squadrons shared the aging P-3 Orion aircraft simulator.

The synthetic networked based simulation training will allow for joint or fleet level exercises which will increase training proficiency at a fraction of traditional operational costs, accord-

As an example, Meitus said VQ-1 has a staff of nearly 540 personnel and that mission will be replaced with the MQ-4C Triton. The unmanned aerial vehicle will physically operate from NAS Point Magu in Calif. but will be controlled out of one of the new facilities at NAS Whidbey.

Meitus acknowledged that finding housing is more difficult than it used to be.

Capt. Andy Miller said it was amazing to see a base that was once on the chopping block 20 years ago during the base realignment and closure, or BRAC, to what it has become now.

“We are a vibrant presence in the Pacific Northwest,” said Miller.

ing to Navy officals.

Capt. Brett Meitus, Commander Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing Ten, said construction on base has been a boom.

Approximately $200 million dollars was spent on hangar renovation to accommodate the new aircraft.

Meitus said it would have cost double to build new hangars so the decision was made to renovate instead. Along with the hangars, a new mobile tactical operations center, or MTOC, was also built to provide command and control of the aircraft.

Meitus said that, during the transition, there will be an initial surge of nearly 800 personnel, but that will eventually balance out to an increase of only 100 personnel and their families being added to the base.

Haunted houses feature century-old buildings

he cobwebs are authentic. So is the unmistakable musty smell and at least one resident that never made it out alive.

David Stern likes to call her Matilda.

“The barn was used for storage for over 100 years, so we had to clean everything out first,” he said as he walked through the historic Terry Barn on Dale and Liz Sherman’s farm in Coupeville.

“There were some real treasures in here. We found an authentic mummy. I’ll show you the mummy.”

Stern enters a room and stops at a 10-gallon aquarium, then makes a formal introduction.

“We found a mummified barn cat,” he said, staring at the crispy carcass. “This is Matilda the Mummy.”

Matilda plays only a minor role in the haunted house that is taking place on Sherman’s Pioneer Farm over the next two weekends.

The star of the Haunted Barn attraction is the aging structure itself.

The original portion of the barn dates back to 1855.

The barn is one of three historic buildings at least a century old that are holding haunted houses on North and Central Whidbey this month.

The Roller Barn is once again hosting Frightville in Oak Harbor.

And, as part of the month-long Haunting of Coupeville, Sherman’s

Haunted Barn and Fort Casey’s Haunted Fort are back for a second year.

Stern and his wife Madisun are the designers and producers of the Haunted Barn and also play a larger role in helping promote all Haunting of Coupeville activities.

They own Whidbey Island Custom Events & Production, among other small businesses that exist to help bring more art and culture into the community.

“There are so many events during the Haunting of Coupeville,” David Stern said. “Madisun and I hope that it becomes a destination during Halloween. We have some friends from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. In Portsmouth, it is Halloween town. There is a Halloween parade. There are haunted houses everywhere.

There are activities throughout the month. We’re hoping we can kind of do a West Coast version of that and put it on the map and have people think, ‘Oh, it’s almost Halloween. We should go to Coupeville and see what’s going on.’”

Coupeville’s advantage is its historic buildings and the ghostly stories behind some of them, Stern said, adding that the Roller Barn, formerly the Neil Barn, also capitalizes on those features.

“We have historic haunted houses versus the warehouses in Seattle being turned into them,” he said.

And, he said, there are stories of actual hauntings, from Fort Casey to Admiralty Head Lighthouse to

David Stern walks by a prop at Sherman’s Haunted Barn in Coupeville. He and his wife have designed and produced the event, which is more elaborate than its first year. ‘This year we had a whole year to kind of think and prepare,’ he said. barns on Ebey’s Prairie.

“There really is the potential for supernatural beyond just someone in a mask jumping out and that type of thing,” Stern said.

There’s a creep factor ever present at all three of the haunted houses on North and Central Whidbey as well as stories of actual encounters with spirits.

Some of the staff at the Oak Harbor Boys & Girls Club have heard sounds or seen images at the Roller Barn that they can’t explain.

There are similar tales from the Sherman farm and at the historic Army fort.

The theme of Sherman’s Haunted Barn is “Curiosity Cabinet of Darkness.”

“I hope people come and really appreciate the historic features of the barn. That’s what we have been trying to highlight,” Madisun said. “Beside the maze and the displays we’re setting up, the barn already is creepy on its own. I hope it will draw people who want to see that kind of natural strangeness around Halloween.”

Dale Sherman knows the barn inside and out and doubted any

prop or actor wearing a mask would startle him.

He was wrong.

“It scared me half to death,” he said. “Somebody comes out of a casket. Somebody comes out of the wall. And I knew they were there! And they still scared me.”

Frightville is well polished at terrifying guests. It is in its 16th year of operation in the basement of the Roller Barn, serving as a major fundraiser for the Oak Harbor Boys & Girls Club.

Frightville and Sherman’s Haunted Barn have already opened their doors and will continue to do so on the weekends as well as Halloween evening.

The Haunted Fort at Fort Casey is only a two-day affair, falling on Oct. 28-29.

The event stunned organizers last year by drawing more than 1,500 people over two nights.

This year, more than 100 volunteers have signed up to help at the event, which has been moved away from the lighthouse to the main fort.

The Haunted Fort will primarily take place in the same eightroom Battery Kingsbury, where

an episode of the zombie television show, Z Nation, was shot in September.

If you go: n The scariest version of Sherman’s Haunted Barn, for older teens and adults, takes place from 7-10 p.m. Oct. 22, 28, 29 and 31. The cost is $10. Sherman’s Pioneer Farm is located at the intersection of Terry and Ebey roads.

Sherman’s also is hosting a tamer version of its haunted house for families and small children from noon till 4 p.m. Oct. 23 and Oct. 30, and from 2-5 p.m.

Oct. 31. The cost is $5 per person. n The Haunted Fort at Fort Casey is from 6:30-10:30 p.m., Oct. 28-29. Tickets are $7 per person or $25 for a family. n Frightville XVI continues from 7 p.m.-midnight on Oct. 22, 28, 29 and 31. Tickets are $13 per person. A kids matinee is from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Oct. 22 and 29. Tickets are $4. The Roller Barn is located at 98 NE Barron Drive in Oak Harbor.

Petitioning for expanded use of Narcan

By EVAN THOMPSON

ethompson@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Whidbey Island resident Riley Rayner wishes his older brother Dylan, just shy of 25, had gotten a second chance at life.

Dylan died from an accidental opiate overdose in June while attending college in Oakland.

Naloxone, an opiate overdose antidote, might have prevented his death. The problem is, many emergency responders, including those in Island County, don’t carry the life-saving remedy.

Through an online petition, “Combat Island County’s Opiate Epidemic: Naloxone for All First Responders,” Riley Rayner aims to change that. He wants to put Naloxone in the hands of law enforcement, emergency medical technicians, Island Transit drivers and other public employees.

Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is a nasal spray that blocks opiate receptors and quickly reverses the physical affects of heroin or other opiates.

WhidbeyHealth ambulances have carried Narcan

for years. But Dylan’s mother, Colleen Keefe, who is an Island County Public Health nurse, said that minutes spent waiting for the paramedics to arrive can be the difference between life or death.

WHILE ATTENDING International Overdose Awareness Day in Seattle, Riley Rayner first learned about Naloxone, Riley Rayner looked at the website stopoverdose.org to see if Island County funded the drug.

It does not.

“Honestly, I just assumed all first responders carried it,” Riley Rayner said. “It seemed like a no-brainer that you would carry something as simple as a nasal spray to save someone’s life immediately.”

Though the drug does not cure addiction, Riley Rayner said it could be the first step among many in treating and preventing the problem. If a person has a near-death experience, it may lead them down a different path, and away from opiates or drugs in general, he said. He also wants it known that Narcan can be

Narcan came at the recommendation of two Seattle Police Department officials.

Bike officers have carried Narcan since March and have administered 12 “opioid reversals,” according to Police Safety Officer Steven Redmond and Senior Police Counsel Rebecca Boatright.

Redmond said every department should look at supplying their officers with Narcan, or at the very least train them on how to deal with an opiate overdose.

Boatright said her department is looking at providing all of its patrol officers with the “critical life-saving tool.”

“The heroin epidemic is one of the biggest issues facing many law enforce-

ment agencies,” Boatright said. “It’s a drug with no known side effects. There’s no side effect of using it on somebody who may not be experiencing an overdose on an opiate.”

WHETHER NARCAN is carried and administered by first responders is up to each individual district, department or board, said Island County commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Rick Hannold.

Price Johnson said the county is addressing the rise in opioid abuse in Island County by conducting public meetings to raise awareness in the community about their impacts.

Price Johnson said she favors having the drug and wants the county to look

at what it would cost, the need and how many times first responders might have used it.

“I do think that this is another tool in the toolbox,” Price Johnson said.

Sheriff Mark Brown said his department will “absolutely” consider using Narcan. His only reservations are how to train his folks to administer the drug, how to deploy it and how much it costs. ”I think we need to think over how we can best serve our community,” Brown said. “Certainly Narcan is one way in an emergency system.”

The Langley Police Department is also on board with carrying the drug.

I will vote YES for you and Washington State!

Pigfest raises $20K for local nonprofits

By MICHAEL WATKINS

mwatkins@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Oak Harbor Pigfest has traditionally brought home the bacon for local charities.

And this year is no exception.

A oversized check was filled out last week in the amount of $20,000. It represents the money that will go to North Whidbey Help House, Citizens Against Domestic Abuse, and Medical Safety Net of North Whidbey, according to Pigfest coordinator Scott Fraser, owner of Fraser’s Gourmet Hideaway in Oak Harbor.

Fraser said Pigfest, previously called the Fidalgo Avenue Block Party, has raised more than $100,000 in the nine years since it was started.

“This was truly a remarkable year,” he said. “We average about $12,000 in donations with $15,000 being a good year, but this year we brought in $20,000!”

This year’s was the most attended for the festival, with an estimate of more than 10,000, Fraser said.

A total of 25 barbecue teams from Canada, Washington state, Oregon, Idaho and Montana competed for a $7,000 prize in the Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association Sanctioned barbecue competition.

This was the third year the event served as a PNBAS competition.

“We cooked 3,200 pounds of pork and had more than 7,000 people go through the free food line,” Fraser said. “It was great to see the community give back to the festival.”

Of the money raised, $10,000 went to the Help House, $5,000 to CADA and the remaining $5,000 to Medical Safety Net, said Fraser.

Help House Executive Director Jean Weiman said the amount of the donation was a shock.

“We were pleasantly surprised.”

IN OUR•OPINION ••

Published each Wednesday & Saturday from the office of the office of the

Price Johnson should be reelected to commissioner seat Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson has broad support, case in point is her strong showing in the primary election.

There are good reasons for having faith in Price Johnson, which is why voters can confidently cast a vote for her in this year’s election.

She’s smart, experienced, a great communicator and deeply invested in this community.

Challenger Gary Wray, a Republican, is smart, affable and has good ideas, particularly in regard to improving the county’s permitting process. He’s a frequent speaker at county meetings and is educated about the issues. As a business owner in the construction industry, he also has a leadership role in a state group representing the industry.

Wray is an important voice and, hopefully, he

will continue to participate in local government, perhaps taking on a more active role on a board or committee.

By most accounts, Price Johnson is a moderate Democrat. Her family has owned small businesses on Whidbey Island for three generations; she and her husband own a construction business on South Whidbey. She understands the tension between business and regulation and does a good job of balancing them.

Price Johnson was the first female commissioner and is battle-hardened. She came into office as the county was facing a massive budget shortfall and was forced to lay off employees and slash budgets. She was chairwoman with a fellow commissioner who was openly hostile. She is one of the few voices calling for

compromise and civility between those who protest Navy jet noise and those who support the Navy without reservation.

Price Johnson isn’t perfect and has critics.

Perhaps her greatest failure was while overseeing Island Transit as a board member and chairwoman. She didn’t recognize that the agency was headed toward financial crisis or that it had significant management problems.

She resisted the ouster of the director even after serious issues came to light; she signed off on an overly generous severance agreement with the former director.

Nevertheless, we believe Price Johnson learns from her mistakes, and that her experience and dedication warrant her return as county commissioner.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR •••

EDC

Quotes in article weren’t meant to be derogatory Editor, In the Oct. 12 Whidbey News-Times article, “Island students get a hands-on lesson in entrepreneurship,” comments made by the Economic Development Foundation (EDF) staff were construed as derogatory to Career and Technical Education (CTE) students and last year’s Entrepreneur Challenge participants.

Please know this was completely unintentional.

This program is designed to provide entrepreneurial experience to all levels of students by capturing their interest, imagination and abilities for success in the commercial world.

A diverse group of students, including many high-achieving and successful students, amazed us last year during the Student Entrepreneurship Contest, and we know they will do so again this year. The EDF remains deeply committed the program and to providing all students engaging, real-world opportunities to develop and demonstrate their entrepreneurial skills.

Crisis

What’s Navy’s plan for affordable housing?

Editor, Help me out here. In the same paper that I read we have an affordable housing crisis on Whidbey and the Navy is bringing in thousands more sailors and their families to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island over the next few years, I also read that the Navy sees no need to provide new island housing because there is plenty within a 100-mile radius.

Since we don’t have enough on the island, will the new sailors commute from Issaquah?

Index? Darrington? Kent? Langley, B.C.?

Even if they live in Everett/Marysville, what impact will that have on our two-lane main north/south thoroughfare, State Highway 525/20?

What impact will that have on the Deception Pass Bridge? What impact will that have on ferry lines and waits?

Military bases on the mainland might be able to draw a 100-mile commute radius without impacting communities in that circle, but on an island we have to think about choke points — far too often islanders on summer ferry lines would say — and have no wiggle room or alternative routes.

What if NAS Whidbey helped us solve our affordable housing problem by building affordable and, hopefully, energy efficient housing on the base?

I’m sure the sailors would appreciate the very short commute and islanders would appreciate help increasing our affordable housing stock while decreasing transit delays.

An island is a great place to study some of our global problems.

We have a growing population on a finite piece of land. We can’t just spread out to meet everyone’s needs.

I know the Navy takes pride in thinking about climate change and energy conservation, and I’d welcome this practical visionary problem solving applied to Whidbey’s afford-

able housing and transportation needs.

If that’s already happening, I’d welcome hearing how.

Orchestra

10th season is dedicated to Whidbey Island’s youth Editor, As the Saratoga Orchestra of Whidbey Island commences its 10th anniversary season this month, we want to thank the community for its support over the past nine seasons.

It is indeed impressive that a community our size can count a hometown professional orchestra among its cultural jewels.

This season is dedicated to Whidbey’s greatest asset — its youth.

One program in particular we are excited to offer is “Link Up,” a music curriculum developed by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute.

It will be offered free-of-charge to over 1,500 Whidbey Island students in third through fifth grades.

Saratoga Orchestra is honored to be one SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

Election

Bailey believes in standing for truth Editor, There are a lot of unknowns this election year. Whether you support Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton or an independent, this is one of the most unpredictable presidential election years that I can remember. If you feel like I do, it’s almost like we’re living in a sitcom and the writers keep pulling new ideas out of a hat to see how crazy they can make 2016.

Barbara Bailey, a personal friend of mine, is running for reelection as senator for the 10th District. She truly cares for the residents of Island, Skagit and Snohomish counties. And caring for people seems to be rare these days in politics.

Barbara deser ves to be reelected. She’s been a faithful representative in Olympia during her 10 years in the state House and four years in the state Senate. We need those in our government who are of good character. People who stand for truth. Those not motivated by power and personal gain.

Barbara believes in standing up for the truth, which is admirable. She doesn’t need to run a campaign based on trying to harm the character of her opponents by saying things that are not true. This year it’s so easy to get caught up in the mudslinging, the lying and the dirty politics.

Voters have difficulty knowing who to vote for when they can’t know the candidates personally.

Barbara lives in Oak Harbor.

Please get to know her and what she represents before election day.

She’s improved our higher education system, worked to support better care for our elderly, helped our veterans and never stopped to rest.

She is a kind, humble and gracious person who truly listens.

Rhonda Burgess Oak Harbor

Research proves mailer claims false

Editor, I recently saw some negative mail smearing Washington Senate candidate Angie Homola, photoshopped picture, you know the genre. Curious about the nasty-sounding “record” it portrayed, I did some digging.

One typical example: “Before she was removed as an Island County commissioner, Homola voted 13 times to raise taxes, including property taxes.” Wow, was she a “tax and spend” liberal run out of town on a rail?

Her record, I found, paints an opposite picture. She indeed voted, with her colleagues, for the meager, below-inflation 1 percent annual tax increases permitted statewide by the strangling Tim Eyeman initiative. Governments use it to try to keep up with rising costs for asphalt, vaccines, deputy cars, courts, etc.

The “property tax?” The popular Conservation Futures Fund, a tiny percent securing farm and ag land, aquifer recharge, etc. for generations.

Angie’s fiscal work: carefully cutting 20 percent from the county’s expense ledger to fix a budgeting train wreck from former commissioners’ intense reliance on building new houses for taxes. Yet, she preserved services, saving public safety also.

She lost reelection by a handful of votes — there were nasty attacks like this one. Hardly a “removal.”

“Who tars and distorts like this?” I asked. A little byline says: “Government Leadership Council,” sounds uplifting, but alas, no. It is a PAC-like fund, bulging with cash from the Koch brothers, oil companies, big banks, payday lenders and other high rollers.

This smear benefits Barbara Bailey, so I looked at Barbara’s personal political war chest and it has, surprise, surprise, many of the same supporters.

A signal from her could have stopped this tarring approach, yet nothing but “plausible denial.” Angie would refuse money from a smearing supporter like that.

I’ll vote for Angie who will work hard for, and be truthful with, us real people.

Laurie Riley Freeland

•••

Brevoort would bring integrity Editor, The concerns and priorities of the citizens of the 10th Legislative District are expressed through their representatives in Olympia and how those representatives vote. Dave Hayes is seeking reelection as one of our state representatives, but I daresay the majority of the electorate is unaware of his voting record or knows whether his votes reflect their views.

As examples of his voting history, he voted against bipartisan legislation to end school districts’ dependency on local taxes while simultaneously supporting special state funding of charter schools; against both raising the minimum wage and providing paid sick leave to employees; against a bipartisan effort to strengthen legislation against animal cruelty; against a bipartisan bill authorizing the study of carbon emissions reduction; against a bipartisan bill to ban the thoroughly debunked “conversion therapy” for minors; and lastly, against automatic voter registration for citizens during commonplace interactions with government agencies. In each instance, his vote was just the opposite of the one that would have been cast by his Democratic opponent, Doris Brevoort.

Doris Brevoort, an educator from Mount Vernon, would bring valuable perspectives to the legislature. With 25 years as a school counselor and special education teacher with a Ph.D. in human science, she knows how critically important it is to fully fund our public schools in an equitable and predictable manner. As a caregiver for a family member with a mental illness, she knows how critically important it is to fully fund the quality treatment, affordable housing and case management of people with mental illness and disabilities.

I am supporting Doris because she represents my views and everything I hope a legislator would bring to Olympia — dedication, hard work, intelligence, integrity and a willingness to work collaboratively across the aisle to address and solve the problems/ challenges that we all face as Washingtonians.

Carol E. Goldberg Oak Harbor

Board needs calm decision maker Editor, Now is the time to think carefully about who you are going to vote for locally and nationally.

It’s unfortunate that we lost a thoughtful, diplomatic and productive commissioner in Angie Homola and, regretably, we now have Jill Johnson as our District No. 2 commissioner.

Johnson has been incredibly difficult to work with, making

needed changes almost impossible. We have gone to many Island County commissioner meetings and watched how rude and inconsiderate Johnson can be when the other commissioners and the public are trying to get her to see both sides.

Her inability to address community concerns rationally and intelligently on issues like Wonn Road, fireworks and jet noise shows her lack of maturity.

We need to replace her with someone who will openly and calmly look at each issue. We cannot afford four more years of her shrill bullying.

Please bring good government back to Island County — vote for John Fowkes.

Lola Miller Coupeville

Republicans need to part from Trump Editor, The Trump campaign has now gone largely non-partisan with the abandonment of many of the GOP leadership. As such, any normative constraints of civility on his campaign are lost and the Republican party is dangerously morally compromised. Most tragically, the self respect of our entire nation, both internally and abroad, is ever more dishonored and ashamed.

We can expect political discourse to stretch truth in favor of a candidate’s position, but stretching truth is quite different from mostly outright lies for the purpose of self promotion and fear mongering. The country is not in dire crisis. The government is nowhere near a disaster.

We still hold to a resilient constitutional process, albeit challenged by political and cultural divisions. Hillary Clinton is not evil personified, and whatever differences we may have with her message or personality, she does not warrant the level of threat and vilification she receives. None of us learns from these kinds of lies.

We are left only with a sense of sadness and betrayal of what I consider essential, respectful communitarian values we uphold pretty well on Whidbey Island.

So, when I drive up the island and see the Trump signs mingled in among our own Republican candidates’ signs, I feel a certain sense of dishonor, not only for the Republican candidates themselves, but for all of us.

I personally know Dave Hayes, Norma Smith and Barbara Bailey, and, although I may disagree with some of their positions, I find them to be much better people than to be associated with the tenor and style of Donald Trump.

I do not know why they allow this association, but I would hope they would find some way to at least express publicly a sincere concern about the type of proposed leadership Trump represents.

We need to be assured, amidst all the anxiety we already feel

about this election cycle, that they do not condone his behavior or his frighteningly authoritarian understanding of presidency, and, better yet, separate themselves from it.

Tom Ewell Clinton

Faced with picking lesser of two evils Editor, It may be a bit much to refer to our two leading presidential candidates as “evil,” but the old saying does come up.

My friends of various opinions encourage me to not vote for the opposition because that candidate is the greater “evil.”

We gloss over the warts of our side and accentuate the warts in our opponent. So the lesser of two evils is our candidate. We end up not voting for our candidate … we vote against the other.

The lesser of two evils. We so want our country to be a place where we can be proud of our leaders. But with candidates covered in warts, come January we will be able to say, “our president, ‘the lesser of two evils’?”

Maybe next time.

Meanwhile, we long for a ballot marked “none of the above,” because, the lesser of two evil is still … evil.

Rodger Truax Coupeville

It’s pompous to try to sway opinions Editor, I find that election time brings out the pompousness of my Washington neighbors, thinking they know the correct person to vote for and tell me so by writing letters to the editors of various newspapers and plastering their cars with bumper stickers or putting signs up along our streets and roads.

They have little knowledge, if any, of my beliefs and financial status or hopes for my family and country, and I have no idea of how well they researched candidates and issues before arriving at the conclusion that I should vote the way they’ve chosen to vote.

Nor am I aware of any personal gain that would be in store for them that would cause them to want me to vote the way they advertise.

Very pompous of them.

And I guess that holds true for the various newspapers who think I am interested in how people who try to run newspapers want our country run for me, my kids, and my grandkids, and proceed to suggest I vote the way they propose.

Again, pompousness.

The pompousness of people to think that others care about their beliefs, particularly when they have not established an ounce of creditability to do so.

Wolves, Wildcats get back to winning ways Coupeville wins 1st volleyball title in 12 years; Oak Harbor qualifies 2 for district tennis

By JIM WALLER

jwaller@whidbeynewsgroup.com

Now, that’s more like it.

Not a single Oak Harbor or Coupeville high school athletic team won a game last week, but the Wildcats and Wolves made up for it with some impressive performances this time around.

Volleyball Coupeville won a pair of 3-0 matches to lift its Olympic League record to 6-0 and clinch the conference crown, the Wolves’ first since 2004.

“The girls have worked hard to be in the position to be league champions,” firstyear coach Cory Whitmore said. “To accomplish and clinch first place is a result of that hard work and a goal met.”

The win also guaranteed Coupeville a spot in the double elimination portion of the district tournament Nov. 5, which is especially nice since the Wolves are the host school.

Oak Harbor, with the help of two school records, also picked up two wins, moving up a couple of spots in the league standings and enhancing its chances of qualifying for the playoffs.

Coupeville clipped defending champion Klahowya 25-13, 27-25, 25-18 Tuesday.

The Wolves overcame a seven-point deficit to win the second game.

Payton Aparicio (nine aces, six kills), Katrina McGranahan (seven kills), Hope Lodell (nine digs, five aces), Ashley Menges (11 assists), Lauren Rose (nine assists) and Valen Trujillo (nine digs) paced the Wolves.

Coupeville won 25-19, 25-17, 25-23 at Port Townsend Thursday.

The offense was led by Lodell (five kills), Menges (11 assists, five aces) and Lauren Rose (eight assists).

Defensively, Trujillo had 17 digs and Lodell five.

Coupeville’s next goal is to finish the conference season unbeaten; the Wolves

(6-0, 9-3) have three matches remaining, beginning when Chimacum (3-3, 6-7) visits on Senior Night at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25.

Oak Harbor upset visiting Lynnwood 3-2 Tuesday, and then beat host MarysvillePilchuck 3-0 Thursday.

The wins pushed the Wildcats up to seventh-place in the Wesco standings with two matches remaining; the top nine teams qualify for the playoffs.

Oak Harbor stunned Lynnwood (7-3, 7-5) 25-22, 17-25, 25-22, 22-25, 22-20.

The Wildcats fell behind 7-1 in the race to 15 in the fifth game but came roaring back for the win.

Andrea Ruben dished out 57 assists, breaking Janae Payne’s single-match record of 53 set last fall.

Ruben also had 14 digs.

Lauren May collected 26 digs, giving her 307 for the season. That broke Roshel Muzzall’s 2012 single season mark of 305.

Other highlights came from Hailee Blau (29 kills, 14 digs), Cami Bristow (18 kills, 20 digs), Samantha

Coupeville’s Payton Aparicio passes in the Wolves’ win over Klahowya Tuesday. Coupeville added another win Thursday at Port Townsend to clinch the Olympic League championship.

Hines (seven kills) and Camden Miller (six aces).

Oak Harbor rode that momentum to a 32-30, 25-20, 25-21 win at MarysvillePilchuck Thursday. M-P came into the match tied with Oak Harbor in the Wesco standings.

Blau had 19 kills and 12 digs, and May had 20 digs.

There was a lot to like about Coupeville’s 6-2 win at Port Townsend Thursday.

The win gave the Wolves seven for the season, a school record.

It also assured Coupeville of finishing no worse than second, which gives the Wolves a home match in the first round of the district playoffs.

Junior Mia Littlejohn scored four goals, lifting her school single season record to 25.

Pearl Harbor survivor dies at 92 Johnson twice lived to tell about ships that sank during war

By RON NEWBERRY

rnewberry@whidbeynewsgroup.com

As maintenance director at Harbor Tower Village, Steve Swankie grew accustomed to a familiar face every morning as he walked through the front door.

Harold Johnson arose early each day and started his morning at the same table and in the same chair in the dining area. He’d typically greet Swankie with a smile and offbeat remark as early as 7 a.m.

“He’d sit right there and say, ‘Steve, you’re late!’ Or ‘You’re early!’” Swankie said.

Swankie and others at Harbor Tower Village are still coming to grips with the reality that Johnson will no longer be sharing his wit, warm smile and vivid memories of Pearl Harbor.

Johnson died Friday, Oct. 14, at age 92 at the Oak Harbor retirement community that he called home for the past seven years.

JOHNSON WAS planning to attend the 75th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December.

“He was really looking forward to going to Hawaii,” said Sheena Taylor, resident care director at Harbor Tower Village.

“It’s too bad. He just didn’t quite get to the finish line,” said Wil Shellenberger, president of the PBY Memorial Foundation.

A group of 15 family members, including two great-grandchildren from Sweden, are still planning to attend the event in his honor, said Jeannett Wendell, Johnson’s daughter who lives in Coupeville.

A memorial service is set for 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, at Life Church on Regatta Drive in Oak Harbor.

JOHNSON, WHO went by “Hal,” was a longtime Oak Harbor resident and father of three who served in the Navy during World War II and later in the Korean conflict as a naval reserve.

He was barely 17 when he joined the Navy in April of 1941 and was aboard the USS Oklahoma on Battleship Row when the destroyer was one of the first ships struck by torpedoes the fateful morning of Dec. 7.

Harold Johnson of Oak Harbor, whose ship, the USS Oklahoma, capsized during the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941, died Oct. 14. He was 92.

He was able to jump into the water before the ship capsized and swam away from a burning oil slick on the water’s surface until he was rescued. The ship lost 429 of its crew.

Described in a headline of one military publication last year as the “Luckiest veteran alive,” Johnson also survived the icy waters near Alaska’s Aleutian Islands in January 1943 after he and his shipmates abandoned the USS Worden after it ran aground. Fourteen sailors lost their lives during that incident.

“Too long we took these guys for granted and didn’t look at their roles in history,” said Will Stein, historian at the PBY-Naval Air Museum in Oak Harbor. “And it wasn’t just Pearl Harbor. He was on another boat that sank a year later.

“If I would have seen Harold Johnson getting on my ship after that, I might’ve requested a transfer.”

AT HARBOR Tower Village, Johnson was a resident celebrity of sorts, drawing visits by TV news crews or documentary filmmakers about once a year.

“He brought such an awareness to Pearl Harbor survivors,” said Hazel Welliver, executive director at the retirement community.

Arielle Corrin, program director at Harbor Tower Village, said Johnson felt it was important to

share his memories in honor of those who didn’t survive.

“I think one would say going through Pearl Harbor and having the recognition he had as one of the remaining survivors, that it was an honor, but I think it was more of a burden to have to retell the worst day of your life all the time to kids and to adults,” Corrin said. “And I think he did it graciously and with the responsibility of knowing that because he survived that, because he had endured it, it was sort of an honor to his comrades to be able to share the story as a survivor.

“To think that one day of 92 years, not that it has to define your life, but it did define his life so much. And that’s how people remember Hal as a Pearl Harbor survivor, not the other accomplishments in life that he did.”

During a time when Pearl Harbor survivors have dipped to under 2,000, Johnson was one of the last still living in North Puget Sound.

He was visible in the community, participating in parades and other veteran events, and always willing to share stories with those who asked.

“Arielle always said it best,” Swankie said. “Pearl Harbor was always black and white to us because it’s in the text books and stuff. He actually made it come to life.”

AT THE retirement community, Johnson also was known for his skills while playing Wii bowling, his sense of humor, kind heart and how he’d light up around children.

“He’s going to be missed,” housekeeper Pam Gaimari said.

“He was really involved in the community,” Taylor said. “He was a part of everything here. He wasn’t afraid to speak his mind. We could always go to him for his opinion.

He was really open and giving.”

Johnson and his wife Viva, who died in 2005, raised two sons and a daughter in Oak Harbor. All three still live on Whidbey Island. Ron Johnson resides in Coupeville and Edward Johnson in Oak Harbor.

“From an early age, we knew about Pearl Harbor,” said Wendell, who made the trip with her dad to Hawaii on several occasions. “It wasn’t something he talked about all the time, but there were times when other family members would come over and somebody would ask him questions and he would bring out a book that had pictures from when he was in the Navy.

He would talk about it and answer questions.

“After he was done, I just remember him looking at that book for an hour and he wasn’t talking to anybody. He was just looking at the book, reminiscing.”

Wendell said while looking through her dad’s belongings,

items that he possessed while aboard the USS Oklahoma were found. They were all lost after the ship capsized in 1941, but divers later found Johnson’s pocket knife, watch and wallet.

Those items will be donated to a museum at Pearl Harbor, Wendell said.

“We opened up his wallet and found his driver’s permit,” she said.

HARBOR TOWER Village will be taking a bus, two if necessary, to Johnson’s memorial service, Welliver said.

He was well respected and well liked by staff and residents, Welliver said.

He also had an ornery side, his daughter said.

“We kind of feel like we’re a family here because we’re small enough,” Welliver said. “They know each other and look forward to seeing each other at meals. They watch out for each other. And he was such a visible guy because of his career.”

And that’s part of what makes his absence that much more difficult, particularly at the start of the day.

“That was his spot,” Swankie said, pointing to a chair where Johnson ate breakfast.

“And you didn’t move that table one inch,” Welliver said with a smile.

Do you have the proper oil?

You might think oil is oil.

Well, to a certain point, you are right.

In the refining process of crude oil, engine oil is basically the same just about everywhere. On the other hand, not all the oils on the market are the same. Each major oil company adds its own chemical products to their oil and that could influence your engine’s performance.

First of all, as is the case for so many car requirements, you should consult the owner’s manual of your specific vehicle to learn what its

manufacturer recommends.

If you read carefully, you will find the required intervals for the oil change and the viscosity recommended for each season.

Viscosity is the “thickness” of the oil and its ability to protect the moving parts of your engine. It is rated according to standards developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).

The most common rating is 10W-30, the 10 indicating that the oil is thinner when the engine is cold, which helps the start-up, the W refers to its capability to keep

Can you replace belts?

Look carefully under the hood and you will find that there are probably many belts at the front of the engine. If it’s an older car, you may notice that there are up to three and even four belts to drive all the accessories, including the air conditioning. Many new cars will have only one belt. However, it may still need to be changed, so don’t expect it to get changed on its own!

If you do your own car maintenance, you will want to inspect the belts, yourself. And the only way to do so, is visually. You will be looking for a cracked belt or an oil-soaked belt (in this case, it could mean more trouble emerging from elsewhere in the engine compartment). If the belt is glazed, chances are that it needs to be replaced, strictly because it is old and worn. However, if it’s cracked, it needs to be changed very quickly.

If you are a car owner with no specific tools, you my be better off visiting your mechanic who not only has the experience, but also the proper tools to measure the belt tension and see if the part is even more worn out than it appears.

You can always change the belts yourself, especially if you own an older car with narrow drive belts. But in the case of those specific “serpentine” drive belts with all the adjusters and pulleys, you’d probably do better to let an expert do the job.

Oil is what keeps an engine purring like a cat. its viscosity in winter and the 30 is the viscosity the oil reaches when it is hot.

There are several types of oil on the market. Mineral oils are the most common.

But over the last few years, oil companies have begun offering synthetic oils.

They are just as good as mineral oils but more expensive and, in most cases, car

manufacturers still retain the same oil change intervals.

Then, there are recycled oils.

These are good, also. But just check if they offer the same protection with the appropriate additives.

In any case, the last word belongs to the car manufacturer. Check his recommendations in the owner’s manual.

Remember to check all the fluid levels in your car There isn’t much that a car owner can do to maintain his or her new car these days. Manufacturers build more reliable vehicles today, and dealers make certain that they’re always a step ahead with the maintenance of your vehicle. Owning a car today is no longer the hobby it used to be. So, if you’re a car owner what do you need to do to maintain your car?

To begin, be sure to maintain the proper pressure in all four tires at all times. Then, you can wash and clean your car as much as you like — you won’t wear out the paint!

But if you really want to stick your nose under the hood (and you’ll notice that your engine is hidden under a plastic cover) to ensure that your engine is well maintained, then check the fluid levels regularly.

Today’s cars have all the bells and whistles to let the driver know if a liquid is low or leaking. But a little preventive maintenance will not hurt. Begin with the windshield washer liquid.

It is best to keep the windshield washer reservoir filled with the proper liquid (you never know when you are going to drive over a muddy road or follow a truck that’s dripping with dark liquid and splashing your windshield).

By the way, don’t fill up the reservoir with water. You’ll run into big trouble when the temperature freezes.

Engine oil can be checked easily, as you never know when an engine will burn off oil. Brake fluids are also easy to reach, but be sure to have the proper fluid to top it off. If oil is missing, you’d best visit your mechanic or your dealer. That’s usually the sign of a problem.

The power steering fluid is another problem spot to watch and so is the engine coolant. And, if possible, you can always have a look at the transmission fluid although many recent cars no longer offer that possibility. If in doubt, consult your mechanic. Fluids can usually tell a lot!

Timing can bring best deal Buying a vehicle? While your negotiation tactics matter, experts say that timing is a bigger factor than you may realize when it comes to getting a great deal on a new car.

“The time of year, the time of the month and even the time of day can affect the deal you get and what’s available for purchase,” said Brian Moody, executive editor of Autotrader. “Timing can be everything if you want the best deal.”

Moody and the experts at Autotrader are offering some important timing insights to those on the hunt for a vehicle. n Show up late. At the end of the day, sales and finance professionals are ready to head home. But a smart salesperson will not let a serious potential customer walk

away just because the dealership is ready to close shop.

Provided the salesperson is dealing with a serious buyer, he or she may make concessions during late hours to speed up negotiations.

Of course, shoppers may be tired and ready to go home, too, causing the plan to backfire.

So make sure you’re wellrested and ready to hang in there for the long haul if you decide to pursue this strategy. n Wait it out: Know what you want? Don’t rush to the dealership. If possible, consider waiting until the end of a month or even the end of a quarter to make your vehicle purchase.

Just like at the end of the year, dealers have monthly and quarterly sales goals. If

they’re just shy of the target, they could be more motivated to get the deal done, suggests Moody. n Be in-season. The season you purchase your vehicle matters. For example, late summer and early fall is when new-model-year vehicles are rolling into dealers’ inventories. Some of the best deals are on “leftover” models.

For instance, a 2016 model may be steeply discounted once 2017 models arrive. In some cases, dealers will even have the previous model year in stock. For example, Autotrader.com still has listings for brand-new 2015 model vehicles.

Keep in mind though, that since a leftover model is already outdated, it’s automatically worth less than a

The right timing can mean getting the best deal on a car. car from the latest model — which means you’ll get a lower price if you resell. If you plan to keep your car a long time, this shouldn’t be a big issue.

For those who don’t have to have the latest and great-

est model, this is an easy way to save, Moody said.

“However, don’t expect to get both the latest model and the best deal. It’s likely you’ll have to make some concessions if you want the best possible price.

How to get more bang for your buck when buying a used car Everyone knows used cars are cheaper. But how do you make sure you are not getting a lemon? Don’t rule out a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle, say experts.

“CPO is not just hype from the automotive industry,” says Rob Christman, director of Sales, Fixed Operations at Cox Automotive. “The certification process offers a guarantee that you are leaving the lot with a vehicle in good condition, and an accompanying warranty offers your wallet some protection, too.”

Christman offers five top reasons to consider a CPO.

SAFETY

vehicle and complete and document repairs leads to a higher transaction satisfaction and greater trust between dealer and buyer.

SECURITY

For many people, a vehicle is the second biggest purchase made in a lifetime. A CPO warranty can help you set a realistic automotive budget by eliminating unexpected expenses on costly repairs.

MORE CAR FOR THE MONEY

CPOs have been inspected, repaired and certified as safe to drive. With a CPO, you will have access to a detailed and itemized checklist of all the items inspected by a professional mechanic, as well as assurance that the vehicle passed inspection or was brought up to standards. Furthermore, backing this with a warranty adds additional peace of mind that the purchase is safe and reliable.

Automobile depreciation is the single largest expense in owning a new car. Indeed, a new vehicle will lose up to 19 percent of its value in the first year.

You can purchase more car with your money by buying a vehicle which has already seen that depreciation. For example, the amount of money you might spend on a new base model might buy you a similar, certified pre-owned car loaded with options.

WARRANTY

issues and will usually cover roadside service, towing and emergency situations which could arise during your ownership. Check with the dealership for details and limitations.

While nearly every manufacturer and dealership offers a CPO program, remember that terms and benefits can vary greatly, so whatever you opt for, do your research for the best deal possible. (StatePoint)

SUQUAMISH CONTINUED FROM A1

Sterling repeated earlier remarks that the Clinton-toMukilteo route is in a good position for the new ferry and that it’s at the top of a long list.

“Every single route wants the boat,” he said, but lobbying efforts on South Whidbey, and recognized problems on the run, are factors that will play heavily into the decision making process.

“I think you guys have a pretty good shot at it, that’s my personal opinion,” Sterling said.

The Suquamish is the last of four Olympic-class ferries being built by the state.

The $122-million boat is under construction and scheduled for completion in late 2018.

In September, the Clinton Community Council officially requested the vessel be assigned to the ClintonMukilteo run and join its sister ship, the Tokitae, also an Olympic-class ferry.

The lobbying effort followed a summer in which residents noted what they believe was one of the worst in memory for long ferry lines.

The Clinton council’s request sparked other lobbying efforts on South Whidbey — two chambers of commerce, the Island Transportation Planning Organization and Langley also put in requests for the boat.

Earlier this month, state Sen. Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, announced she requested the Suquamish be assigned to the Clinton run.

Bailey asked that plans for overhead passenger loading at the Clinton terminal be expedited as well and that studies be performed to identify and mitigate any road blocks to the project.

In a recent interview, Bailey said the state Legislature can exert “pressure” on ferry leaders but stressed that continued public advocacy is vital.

“It really is important for everybody to be singing from the same sheet of music,” she said.

Dave Hooger wer f, the longtime chairman of the Clinton Advisory Committee who helped spearhead efforts to unify South Whidbey in requesting the new ferry, said Sterling’s comments are encouraging, but not surprising.

The Clinton-Mukiteo route shuttles more cars than any other run in the state’s ferry system and serves as a vital transportation link.

“I think the latest catastrophe with the (ferry) Kittitas just proves that,” he said. “Even small changes on our run can make a huge difference in the level of service.”

The Kittitas, a 124-car

“Changing the schedule doesn’t work,” he said.

“It’s counterproductive to what we want to do and that’s move more cars across the Sound.”

The solution is to identify efficiencies on the route, such as speeding up the boats and budgeting for subsequent fuel increases, Hoogerwerf said.

Ferry riders may learn in early November whether the Clinton-Mukilteo route will get the newest 144-vehicle ferry, which would help ease congestion in the ferry line. The Kennewick, at left, which can hold 64 vehicles, is currently serving the Clinton-Mukilteo ferry route.

“It really is important for everybody to be singing from the same sheet of music.”

State Sen. Barbara Bailey ferry that serves on the Clinton route with the Tokitae, was pulled earlier this week and relocated to address the loss of two other ferries in the system.

The Kittitas was replaced by the Kennewick, a 64-car ferry.

The change resulted in two-hour-plus ferry lines for motorists throughout the week.

Sterling said state Ferries hopes to have the route operating at full capacity again by the end of this weekend.

Mismatched boat sizes is one of the big problems with the run. The arrival of Tokitae brought increased capacity, but at a cost of was delayed sailings; it takes longer to load the boat, and it’s sometimes forced to leave before it’s full.

State Ferries officials are aware of the problem and say the Suquamish is a solution, but that it could also create other headaches.

“You gotta watch what you wish for,” Sterling said.

Two boats that take longer to load could force a schedule change, which would require a large community discussion, he said.

Ferries currently leave on the half hour during peak times.

Increasing the times between sailings would actually reduce capacity on the run and undermine the whole purpose of adding the larger Suquamish to the route, said Hoogerwerf.

OBITUARY •••

IN LOVING MEMORY

Gina Kathryn Grant Bull July 17, 1959Oct. 12, 2016

The world lost a bright, warm and beautiful soul Wednesday, Oct. 12, when Gina Grant Bull passed away unexpectedly at the age of 57. She was at her home in Walla Walla, Wash., with her husband, Ron Bull,

District in various roles. She mentored youth of all ages and ran the middle school associated student body program. Some of her proudest moments occurred while coaching the track and field team at Oak Harbor High School. She was active in the Oak Harbor Lutheran Church and starred in several plays at the Whidbey Playhouse and Anacortes Community Theater.

Her lifelong desire to help others eventually led to a career with the Washington State Legislature, first as a caseworker, then as a legislative aide. She cherished the time she spent working in Olympia alongside her father, State Representative Bill Grant. Gina and Ron moved back to Walla Walla in 2013 where she became the manager of events and public relations for the Downtown Walla Walla Foundation from 2013-2015. Most recently, she was appointed page director for the House of Representatives. In this role,

she was responsible for the coordination and support of dozens of youth who worked in the state capitol during the legislative session. She described it as her “dream job.”

Throughout her life, Gina was a tirelessly devoted wife and mother whose vivacious personality and hearty laugh touched everyone she met. She travelled through Ireland, London and Paris in 2008, fulfilling a lifelong dream. She treasured her friendships, new and old, and had boundless energy.

She was a strong leader with an intensely kind heart. She celebrated every holiday with great enthusiasm and was known to frequently “go overboard” with gifts. She was an exceptionally dedicated grandmother and was lovingly known to her three grandchildren as “Momo.”

Gina is survived by her husband Ron, daughter Lindsay Braun (Jeffrey) and grandchildren Stella and Jasper of Walla Walla, Wash.; daughter Molly Schotzko

(Tim) and granddaughter Hudson Irene of Pullman, Wash.; and son Grant Bull of Oak Harbor, Wash. Gina is also survived by her mother Nancy Grant of Walla Walla, Wash., and three siblings: Laura Grant (John Wong) of Walla Walla, Wash.; Amy Hartford (Jerry) of Walla Walla, Wash.; and Jonathan Grant (Fahima) of Walla Walla, Wash. She is also survived by a large and loving family of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father Bill Grant; uncles John Grant, Sam Grant, and Lynn Tompkins; aunt Georgene Grant; and cousin Frank Tompkins.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Oak Harbor High School Athletic Booster Club’s Gina Bull Memorial Fund and to Prescott Ivy Cemetery through the Herring Groseclose Funeral Home, 315 W. Alder, Walla Walla, WA.

Bull of Oak Harbor, Wash.

On July 7, 1979, Gina and Ron married at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Walla Walla.

Ron and Gina spent the early years of their marriage working at Stone’s Apple Farm in East Moline, Ill., owned by Ron’s grandparents Lester and Dorothy Stone. There, Gina was a tireless worker who spearheaded school tours of the farm and demonstrated a natural gift of connection to children. She and Ron welcomed three children of their own into the world: Lindsay Nicole (1981), Molly Kathryn (1982) and Grant Lyle (1984). They later relocated and settled in Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island in 1991.

Gina’s gift for nurturing children and her passion for helping others fueled a multi-faceted career in education and state government. While her own children were young, she taught preschool, then worked in the Oak Harbor School

when she suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage.

She was vibrant and healthy and suffered no pain at the time of her passing.

Gina was born July 17, 1959, to Bill and Nancy Grant at St. Mary’s Hospital in Walla Walla. She attended Green Park Elementary and Pioneer Junior High and graduated from Walla Walla High School in 1978.

Throughout her childhood, she reveled in spending time with her three siblings and numerous cousins.

She was proud of the multigenerational family farm where her father, Bill Grant, worked alongside other family members. In high school, she was a record-breaking track star, a flag-swinger, and was involved in student government.

In her adolescence and throughout her life, she spent many summers working with her family during wheat harvest. Gina attended Washington State University in Pullman where she met her husband, Ron

Box restaurant, according to Ohme. They were sitting together at a table when a girl dressed in sweats walked by and Vandiver made a crude sexual remark about her.

He added that he was “a dirty old man,” Woodell later told police.

Raven Webster, a 19-year-old Oak Harbor man, was sitting nearby and overheard the comment. He asked Vandiver, “You know she’s 14, right?”

The comment angered Vandiver, who wouldn’t let it go, according to Ohme.

After a verbal exchange, Vandiver asked Webster if he wanted to take it outside and Webster agreed.

Vandiver was aggressive toward Webster in the parking lot, allegedly challenging the younger man to punch him in the face.

Webster delivered two quick punches to Vandiver’s chin and Vandiver fell to the ground unconscious, striking his head on the pavement, Ohme said.

Webster left the scene after other people came outside to help.

tuitions at state and community colleges. Reduction were as much as 20 percent, she said. The measure was paid for by closing a tax loophole, according to the Seattle Times.

Bailey said she sees affordable college tuition as vital.

“We have students coming out of college with more debt than they could pay back over a reasonable period of time,” she said.

She favors limiting regulations, including environmental rules, in order to help business grow. She also sees limiting such regulations as important to increasing affordable housing, which she agrees has become a crisis on Whidbey and beyond.

On social issues, Bailey has sponsored bills and cast votes over controversial issues.

She was one of the sponsors this year of a bill, which some characterized as bigoted, which would have reverse the state Human Rights Commission’s ruling that people can use the bathroom that corresponds with his or her gender identity.

Back when she was a state representative, she voted against bills that would have allowed domes-

Bailey’s win four years ago against Democrat Mary Margaret Haugen, a longtime senator, was key in shifting the Senate to the Republicans.

WHILE BOTH Bailey and Homola live in the same community and have strong ties to the Navy, they have very different ideas about a whole host of issues.

Bailey is largely a proponent of traditional conservative values; Homola supports progressive ideals and has a strong environmentalist streak.

Still, neither woman is one-dimensional when it comes to partisan issues.

Bailey said she is largely against raising taxes or cutting corporate tax subsidies, even with the ongoing crisis over how the state is going to fully fund education. She said an increase in tax dollars coming into the state because of the improved economy will solve the problem.

“It’s not that we don’t look at revenue,” she said of the Republican Senate Caucus.

“We’re just not going to jump at tax increases first thing.”

One of the things she’s most proud of, she said, is her work on a historic bill that reduced college

Bailey said those votes were based on her religious values and that people don’t have the right to question her about those convictions.

Bailey also played a pivotal role in the “Dream Act.” The legislation sought to allow children of illegal immigrants to qualify for in-state tuition.

She initially was criticized for not allowing the bill to leave committee.

But she worked to change the bill the following session so that those students would qualify if they took steps to become legal residents through a program created by the Obama administration, she said. It became law.

Bailey said she took some flak for supporting the bills. But she argues that the students are in the country illegally at no fault of their own and the state shouldn’t make it more difficult for them to succeed.

HOMOLA SAID state leaders need to be realistic about revenues when it comes to fully funding education and not take funds from programs “for the most vulnerable,” which she claimed Bailey has

Vandiver was transported to WhidbeyHealth Medical Center in Coupeville and later airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma and never regained consciousness.

He died Aug. 31.

Ohme said video from the restaurant corroborates Webster’s and other witnesses’ claim that Vandiver was the aggressor.

Webster told police that he told Vandiver, who was taller and about 40 pounds heavier, that he didn’t want to fight. He said Vandiver got so close he was afraid he was going to be assaulted so he struck the older man, the report states.

The video clearly shows that Webster

voted to do.

She proposes that the state close tax loopholes for corporations, which she said will go a long ways to fulfill the promise to fully fund education. She said the state should claw back the tax breaks given to Boeing because the company broke promises.

Homola said lawmakers should educate the public about the state’s regressive tax system and explain what is not getting funded, then let them decide if they want to change things.

She said vocational education is important and she would like to see options expanded.

Homola is a big fan of the Growth Management Act, which is the foundation of many land-use regulations in the state.

“GMA was one of the best pieces of legislation the state ever adopted,” she said.

She said GMA isn’t the cause of the affordable housing crunch on Whidbey and beyond. She points out that the act has an affordable housing element that largely hasn’t been implemented by local jurisdictions.

She has a lot of ideas when it comes to the environment. She said lawmakers, for example, should explore incentives for weaning the state off fossil fuels and implement efficiency requirements for vehicles.

Homola said she is proud of her term as a county commissioner. She noted that she came into office at the height of the Great Recession to find that the

was backing up the entire time, according to Ohme.

In the legal analysis, Ohme writes that he would not be able to prove the absence of self defense at trial. Charging standards require a prosecutor to consider the most likely defense and the likelihood of a conviction.

Ohme noted that the state has strong self-defense statutes.

“There is not denying the death of Mr. Vandiver is a tragic and unintentional result of the encounter with Mr. Webster,” he wrote. “However, the probability of a jury to unanimously find that Mr. Webster did not act in lawful self-defense is virtually zero.”

county was millions of dollars in the hole; the former board of commissioners had relied on taxes from such unstable funding sources as new construction and sales tax, which then collapsed.

The commissioners cut more than 20 percent of current expense and about 85 jobs.

Homola said she donated $40,000 of her income for programs like parks and seniors services, which were hit the hardest by cuts.

Her time in office wasn’t without controversy. Some elected officials, especially law-and-justice officials, criticized the commissioners for funding “nonmandated” programs — parks, senior services and WSU Extension — at the expense of basic government functions like law enforcement. While the non-mandated programs took the biggest hits by far, the commissioners said they didn’t want to do away with support altogether for the most vulnerable and things that affect the longterm quality of life in the county.

Homola said she pushed for transparency in government by getting video cameras installed the commissioners’ hearing room.

One of the most important things Homola said she accomplished was fixing a program that provides help to struggling veterans. After a volunteer board denied a request for help from a veteran with six children and a wife with cancer, she investigated and found that the coun-

ty had an extra level of bureaucracy. She changed the program so that it now has a case manager and a fair system of helping indigent veterans.

Homola said she went to Bailey, then a state House representative, for help in improving the state law governing the program.

Instead, Bailey sponsored a bill that would allow counties to forego the indigent veteran program, Homola said.

BAILEY MAINTAINS that Homola’s attacks on her voting records are largely false and unfair.

It’s an issue that has sparked testy exchanges between the two women during public forums.

Homola claims Bailey voted to sweep funding from important programs, such as public works projects and support for the most vulnerable.

The senator argues that Homola doesn’t understand the state Legislature and presents things out of context.

While Homola claims Bailey supported a cut in funding for “the blind, disabled and aging,” Bailey said she voted against one measure but voted for another that provided funding in a better way.

Homola criticizes Bailey, who has received campaign donations from pharmaceutical companies, for voting against a bill that would encourage the reimportation of prescription drugs from Canada, where they cost much less.

“I’ve been accused of doing things that didn’t happen,” Bailey said.
