Deception Pass ranger wrestles female bridge jumper to safety

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times

Deception Pass State Park Manager Jack Hartt stands near Deception Pass Bridge where a woman attempted to commit suicide earlier this week. Hartt wrestled with the woman in the road until help arrived and she could be subdued.

As he wrestled with the woman in the northbound lane of Deception Pass Bridge, there were moments when Park Manager Jack Hartt wondered how this would turn out.

He’d caught the woman only moments before just as she was dragging her second leg over the railing and now they were engaged in a physical struggle for her life. Yelling into his little radio for help, Hartt held

onto the squirming woman with everything he had but she was strong and fighting hard.

“She was far stronger than I expected,” he said. “I was just glad to keep her feet on the ground.”

Without a doubt in his mind, Hartt knew that if he lost his grip for even a second it would be all over. She’d hurl herself over the edge and be beyond his aid, falling 180-feet to the swirling waters below.

That was the scene on North Whidbey Tuesday

afternoon when a 46-yearold Oak Harbor woman attempted to commit suicide by jumping from Deception Pass Bridge. Located within the park, the bridge is one of the most beautiful and popular parks in the state.

Unfortunately, it’s also a hot spot for people wanting to end their lives. According to Hartt, between two and three people commit suicide from the bridge every year. During his eight years at the helm, he’s talked down several would-be jumpers. However, this week’s incident was alto-

“This is the first time I’ve had to physically restrain someone,” he said. “It was so close.”

At approximately, 11:48 a.m., the woman was driving to Deception Pass when she called 911 and informed dispatchers of her plans.

Hartt, who was at his office at the time, was alerted to the situation and jumped in his cruiser.

Salmon nearly kills beloved German shepherd

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

An Oak Harbor man nearly lost his canine savior and constant companion to a disease that can be fatal to dogs, but few people seem aware of despite its prevalence in the Pacific Northwest.

Darryl Newell hopes to change that on Whidbey Island by alerting dog owners, veterinarians and especially fishermen to the dangers of salmon poisoning.

It’s an infectious disease that infects dogs, as well as coyotes and wolves, that ingest raw salmon, trout or giant salamanders.

Newell had never heard of the ailment when his beloved German shepherd, Hope, suddenly became deathly ill this fall with diarrhea, vomiting and lethargy so bad she could barely walk. She picked up the fluke-transmitted illness by eating salmon scraps left behind by fishermen who cleaned their fish on the beach at North Whidbey’s Rocky Point.

“Who knows how many dogs have died from eating salmon pieces left behind on beaches,” he said. “Most people know you don’t feed dark chocolate to dogs because it’s poison. Those same people

don’t know about raw salmon.”

His dog’s health is extraordinarily important to Newell because Hope isn’t your typical pet. She is a rare seizure-

Harborside Village owner Frank Scelzi is asking for more than $10,600 for property damage he says was sustained during construction on SE Pioneer Way. Scelzi, one of the loudest critics of the street project, submitted three separate claims for damages to City Hall last week. The priciest request addresses “areas of concrete splashes� and stucco damage along the mall’s

facade.

An attached estimate for repairs includes the cost of painting a good portion of three storefronts, pillars at the mall entrance and an entire wall on Hathaway Street.

The estimate also included the cost of cleaning the area below the front windows of three other stores to remove the concrete splashes. Based on that estimate, Scelzi is asking for $5,850.

He’s also asking for $3,500 to fix “areas of damaged brick and concrete� and a

water intrusion problem that’s occurring along the front of at least two buildings, and for $1,278 to replace a planter that was moved from the front of the mall and broken.

As of Friday, all of Scelzi’s claims were still under review with the city’s insurance provider, the Washington Cities Insurance Authority.

In Washington, a claim for damages is not a civil lawsuit.

While it can be a predicate for one, it’s the first step in a request of financial com-

pensation. Claims submitted in Oak Harbor are turned over to the insurance authority for review and possible settlement.

Scelzi isn’t the only one to file claims for damages related to SE Pioneer Way project. Since January, four merchants, one motorist, and a pedestrian have also filed financial grievances.

Oak Tree Antiques owner Les Bense, also a vocal project critic, asked for a total of $397 in three separate claims for damaged merchandise;

Paint Your World owner Ron Apgar, who also suffered broken goods, asked for $447; and Linda Roberts of Maurices asked for $130 to pay for a broken vacuum cleaner.

Finally, Tony Maggio of My Fathers House Community Thrift is seeking $435 for daily sales revenue lost when the parking lot entrance was blocked for one day in September. Of the four merchant claims, all but Maggio’s, which is still pending, have been awarded.

In July, Oak Harbor resident Jo Lord asked for $5,000 for injuries she sustained when she tripped on the roadway – her claim was denied – and most recently Ellen Moffitt asked for $293 to clean a motorcycle.

Moffitt was riding on SE Pioneer Way shortly after it was paved and, according to the claim, the bottom of the bike was covered in tar.

Moffit’s request was also denied.

Nichols Bros. to help build big new ferry .BO BMMFHFEMZ DIPLFE Construction QSFHOBOU HJSMGSJFOE set to begin next year

By JIM LARSEN Whidbey News-Times editor

State ferry work is still coming Nichols Brothers’ way as a new job for a 144car ferry starts up.

Construction will begin early next year on a new 144car ferry. Washington State Ferries signed a contract change order this week with Vigor Industrial and its US Fab shipbuilding division to begin construction.

Nichols Brothers Boat Builders of Freeland is an expert in aluminum boat construction and built the superstructures for the three recently completed 64-car Kwadi Tabil class ferries, two of which served the Coupeville route this

summer.

Now, a larger ferry will soon be in the works. “This has been a momentous week for Washington state and our ferry system,� said Gov. Chris Gregoire in a release late Tuesday. “We have just taken delivery of the last of three new 64-car ferries, the Kennewick, and now we begin construction on a new 144-car ferry — an important action that helps ensure we have modern vessels to continue giving our passengers safe and reliable service.�

Work on this first vessel will create an estimated 200 family-wage jobs at Vigor and 350 jobs at subcontractors, vendors and other shipyards in the region.

Vigor spokesman Steve Hersh told the Whidbey News-Times Tuesday that Nichols Brothers will get a piece of the action on the new ferry but the contract

with the subcontractor isn’t quite finished. “We have to dot the I’s and cross the T’s,� Hersh said.

He described Nichols Brothers as “a vital member of the coalition� that has been building the new ferries. Vigor, formerly Todd Shipyards, contracts out approximately half the work to firms across the state, Hersh said. Washington requires that its ferries be built within the state. “We fully anticipate Nichols will be one of our major contractors,� Hersh said.

The new ferry is scheduled to take about 27 months to complete. Cost of construction is $115 million and the total cost of the vessel is $147 million, which includes owner-furnished equipment, construction management and contingencies.

The design of the ferry is based on the 130-car

Issaquah class, which has proven to be the most versatile vessel in the state fleet.

Benefits of the new 144-car ferry include increased passenger comfort, improved safety systems, better access for customers with disabilities and reduced operating costs. “This construction is a vital part of our vessel-renewal program and will allow us to retire the 55-year-old ferry Evergreen State,� said state Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond. “But this is the last boat we have funding for and we don’t have the money needed just to operate our ferry system at the current level. We are on the brink of a crisis.�

Washington State Ferries has a contract with Vigor for design and construction of up to three 144-car ferries, but it is contingent on available funding.

A 32-year-old man from Port Orchard is accused of choking his pregnant girlfriend until she became unconscious in her Oak Harbor home while four children were present, court documents allege.

Prosecutors charged Joshua Graham in Island County Superior Court Oct. 17 with assault in the second degree and assault in the fourth degree. Both were charged as domesticviolence related crimes.

Oak Harbor police found out about the alleged assault after a retired police officer in Florida called the dispatch center Sept. 18 because he learned that the 31-year-old woman had been assaulted by her boyfriend.

Officer Manuel Silveira went to the woman’s house to investigate. The alleged victim said she and Graham had gotten into a fight in her bedroom while four children — her two kids and his two kids — were in the home. All the children were under 10 years old.

The woman claimed Graham threw her on the bed and squeezed her throat. When she tried to get away, he again grabbed her by the throat and hair.

She said he squeezed her throat hard enough that she couldn’t breathe and blacked out, Silveira’s report states.

After she regained consciousness, she grabbed the phone to call for help.

Graham pleaded with her not to call police and left the residence, leaving his two children behind, the report states.

The woman went to the hospital because she was 17-weeks pregnant and was worried about the health of the unborn baby.

She was “cleared� by the hospital and returned home, court documents indicate.

The alleged victim told the officer that the incident was the third time Graham had assaulted her since they started dating.

A retired police officer living in Jacksonville called the Oak Harbor Police to report the alleged assault after learning about the allegations on a Facebook page, the report states.

If convicted of the charges, Graham would face from one year and one month to one year and five months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

It’s all over but last minute voting as election nears

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

At long last, Election Day is near.

Tuesday, Nov. 8, is the general election and with its arrival much of the guessing and speculation about this year’s most contested races will finally come to an end as the Island County Auditor’s Office is expected to release its first count by about 8 p.m.

The preliminary results will be posted on the Whidbey News-Times website, at www. whidbeynewstimes.com Tuesday evening, and appear in Wednesday’s paper.

For contestants in some of the most hotly contested races, who have been busy on the campaign trail for months but now have little to do but wait, Tuesday can’t come soon enough. “At this point, you feel like you’re in limbo status,� said City Councilman Scott Dudley, who is engaged in a tough and lengthy battle with incumbent Jim Slowik for Oak Harbor mayor.

While the minutes are beginning to feel like hours, Dudley said he’s optimistic that he will come out ahead.

However, voters will make their choice known and he’s ready to live with the decision, even if it’s something of a surprise. “Come 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday night, we’ll either be rejoicing or scratching our heads.�

Similarly, Slowik said months of active campaigning have pretty much wound down and there’s little left to do but wait and reflect on his efforts, and that of his campaign, to win a second term. “I think you always reassess and look back but you reach a point where you’ve done everything you can,� he said.

This has been a particularly long campaign and Slowik said he feels good about his reelection effort. Like his challenger, he said he’s ready to accept whatever voters decide but hopes for the honor of another four years in office. “I’m pleased with what we did, I think we’ve got good support, and we’ll just have to see what voters decide,�

Slowik said.

Also to be decided are three city council races. Paul

Oak Harbor City Councilman Scott Dudley.

Oak Harbor Mayor Jim Slowik.

Brewer, a former councilman, and political newcomer Tara Hizon are battling it out for Position 1 while incumbent Beth Munns is fighting to retain Position 2 against challenger Larry Munns, also a former councilman. Finally, Rick Almberg is engaged in a rematch against Mel Vance for Position 3.

Duking it out for Oak Harbor Fire District’s Position 1 commissioner seat are incumbent T.J. Lamont and retired firefighter Larry Wall, while Paul Messner is

alone in a bid for another term to Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue’s Position 1 commissioner seat.

In school board races, Christine Abbott and John Worthington are vying for Position 2 in Oak Harbor and Peter Hunt and Christine Cribb are in uncontested races for Position 1 and Position 3.

In Coupeville, school board incumbents Don Sherman, Position 1, and Carol Bishop, Position 4, are also uncontested in their bids for additional

terms.

Mayor Nancy Conard, Councilwoman Molly Hughes for Position 3, Councilman Bob Clay for position 2, and newcomer Jackie Henderson for Position 1 are all running unopposed in Coupeville.

The same cannot be said for Mike Diamanti and Laura Blankenship, however. Both are hoping to fill the Port of Coupeville’s open District 3 commissioner seat.

Hundreds of swimmers will be eagerly awaiting the fate of the North Whidbey Parks and Recreation renewal levy, which is largely used to operate the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool. Without a 60 percent favorable vote,the pool will close in January.

According to Island County Deputy Auditor Michele Reagan, as of Thursday the elections office had received a total of 17,110 ballots. That represents about 36 percent of the county’s 47,229 registered voters. “Typically in an off numbered election year, Island County has an average of a 60 percent voter turnout,�

Reagan said.

Although she didn’t have

averages for individual districts, the elections office has received 2,981 ballots – about 34 percent – from 8,796 registered voters in Oak Harbor.

That compares to 433 ballots – about 39 percent – received from the 1,116 voters registered in Coupeville.

Coupeville schools to alter evaluations

CONTINUED FROM A1 her, I don’t know what I would do,� he said. “I really don’t.�

Newell and Hope have a very special relationship. Newell, a retired lead designer and developer for IBM, has owned and raised German shepherds since he was 13 years old. He became friends with a couple who are among the top German shepherd breeders in the nation. About six years ago, he talked them into letting him adopt a 3-year-old show dog named Hope.

Newell showed his new dog for about a year, and she did well, but then both of their lives changed dramatically six years ago.

Newell remembers sitting on the edge of his bed, feeling kind of light-headed, when Hope suddenly ran into the room “screaming,� he said. He woke up about up 45 minutes later after having what he would later learn was a seizure.

Unfortunately for Newell, the power in Oak Harbor was out at the time, so he couldn’t call for help. He was very weak and crawled across the street to a neighbor’s house, but nobody answered the door. He went to another house, but again nobody answered.

Fortunately, his dog was following him. “I told Hope, ‘You have to help me,’� he said.

Newell grabbed onto the dog and she dragged him to a house with an open garage door. They alerted a man inside who called for help on his cell phone.

At Whidbey General Hospital, Newell had a series of seizures caused by a stillundiagnosed blood disorder that diminishes his red blood cells to dangerous levels. He said his wonder dog came to the hospital with him; a doctor would later tell him that Hope became upset just

Darryl Newell depends on his dog, Hope, to alert him to an impending seizure. before each seizure. “He said she has an instinct for it and that’s rare,� he said.

To bolster the pooch’s natural ability to sense impending seizures, Newell sent her to a specialized trainer in Idaho for a couple of months.

Since then, they’ve been nearly inseparable. While he’s been able to get his medical problems largely under control, he’s had five seizures in the last six years. Hope lets him know one is coming by staring at him, nipping and whining in an unmistakable way. To avoid injuries, he lays on the ground and calls for help.

Newell credits Hope with saving his life. “If I hadn’t gone to the hospital several different times, I would have just laid down and died,� he said.

Newell and Hope are very well known around town, especially at businesses they frequent. Some people even keep dog biscuits handy for their visits. They’ve traveled 500,000 miles together on trips he likes to take every few months down the coast, across to the Grand Canyon and up through Yellowstone.

The one place he didn’t bring the dog was to the gym, but then he had a seizure there that broke his nose

and caused “a bloody mess,� he said. Since then, he started walking with Hope at the beach at Rocky Point, which is where she apparently ate a piece of salmon left behind by a fisherman.

According to the Merck Veterinary Manual, salmon poisoning in dogs is caused by the bacterium Neorickettsia helminthoeca. Dogs become infected by eating even a tiny amount of salmon or similar fish that contains a fluke carrying the bacteria.

The signs of the illness appear from five to seven days after the dog eats the infected fish. About 90 percent of untreated animals die.

Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea and fever, according to the manual.

After Hope became sick, Newell brought her to their regular veterinarian on Whidbey, but the animal doctor didn’t know what was wrong. Luckily, Newell then brought her to Dr. Lee Anderson at the Anacortes Animal Hospital and he suspected salmon poisoning.

Anderson had Newell rush the dog to the VCA Veterinary Specialty Center in Lynnwood for treatment.

He said a team of a dozen specialized veterinarians went to work on her. They hooked her up to an IV, pumped her full of fluids, antibiotics and

other medicine, and ran a battery of tests.

Anderson explained that salmon poisoning was suspected, but never confirmed.

The vets in Lynnwood didn’t want to wait for test results, so they treated Hope with antibiotics that cover a range of ailments and she responded. In fact, Anderson said he’s never had a confirmed case of salmon poisoning, but commonly treats dogs with gastrointestinal problems with antibiotics. “Some of those cases could well have been salmon poisoning,� he said.

It took a few days in the animal hospital and many thousands of dollars, but Hope survived. They’ve returned to the beach, but now Newell keeps her out of the tall grass where there might be fish pieces. His greatest hope is that signs could be put up at fishing beaches to warn fisherman about the consequences of leaving behind salmon guts.

For now, he said he’s enjoying his time with “the world’s friendliest German shepherd.� “She such a beautiful dog,� he said. “She’s a very tender, sweet and gentle German shepherd.�

Coupeville school leaders are looking to improve the way principals and teachers are evaluated.

To accomplish that goal, the school district is one of five in the area to receive money to develop a new evaluation system. “There is a disconnect with the current evaluation system and what is being done in the classroom,�

Coupeville School District Superintendent Patty Page said, adding the school district shouldn’t be using a system that was originally developed in the 1970s.

The school district received a modest $5,700 to develop the system over the next three years. In addi-

As he flipped on his lights, she hopped out of her car.

Following suit, he said it only took a second to see just how serious the woman was.

Walking right up to the rail, she began to climb over and Hartt jumped into action. He just barely grabbed her in time. “Half a second and she would have gone,� he said.

Although they wrestled for only about 30 seconds, Hartt said it felt like much longer. Strangely, he said he remembers people walking past and looking at their struggle without offering to help. Two finally came to his aid, however. “A couple passersby asked

tion to Coupeville, South Whidbey, Conway, Everett and the Mount Vernon school districts received funding to develop similar programs.

Page said a team of two administrators and five teachers will develop Coupeville’s evaluation system during the school year and a pilot evaluation system will be implemented in the next school with 20 percent of the teachers participating. It will be fully implemented the following year.

It’s ultimately up to the state Legislature to decide on the new evaluation system and Randy Dorn, superintendent for public instruction, has to make a recommendation, Page said. if they could help and I said, ‘Please,’� Hartt recalled.

The three of them continued to hold the woman, who was still straining to get free, for about another minute before two more rangers arrived. It was only then that they managed to get total control of her.

Hartt said the woman was transported to Whidbey General Hospital via ambulance. Her current status, however, is unclear. Hospital spokeswoman Trish Rose said she had no information on that patient.

Hartt said he will likely never forget the incident and is grateful that he was able to help save the woman’s life. However, he said he’s not the sole hero, that the passersby and the host of emergency responders that assisted played just as vital a role. “I happened to be there at the moment, but it’s a team effort,� Hartt said.

IN OUR OPINION

Welcome to the occupiers The “Occupy� movement has come to Whidbey Island with demonstrations announced for today from 10 a.m. to noon at the Clinton ferry terminal and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the corner of Highway 20 and Main Street in Coupeville. “Occupy Wall Street� started it all in New York City weeks ago and protesters are still camped out there.

Since then the movement has spread to Seattle, Portland and multiple other cities around the country and world.

Now, it’s come to Whidbey Island.

The intent of the “Occupy� movement seems as varied as whomever you ask, but in general it expresses the public’s frustration with everything that has happened since 2008. Citizens have lost trillions of dollars in assets and/or their jobs, but many big companies have been stockpiling treasure troves of cash, often with government help. Governments are doing whatever it takes to keep the entire house of cards from collapsing, but people around the world can see that it’s teetering. There is fear that things are getting worse, not better, and that’s part of what’s sparking the Occupy movement.

Some people need to physically express their anger and concern. Taking to the streets may seem more effective than voting for representatives more concerned about making the other party look bad than with creating an economic environment in which businesses can succeed and people can find jobs. These are precarious times indeed and the presence of peaceful people on the street is beneficial. It shows the politicians that the people are getting restless and their own jobs are in jeopardy. Yahoos who cause property damage and start fights with police and others should be arrested.

The right to assemble peaceably is guaranteed by the First Amendment, so we should welcome those participating in Occupy Whidbey. And while they’re in Coupeville, maybe they can buy lunch or a few gifts from the shops, thereby helping the economy in a concrete way.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Feedback

We need our swimming pool Isn’t having a pool in our town a necessity? Shouldn’t children and adults who live on an island have the opportunity to learn how to swim? There are numerous reasons for us to always have a pool, including health, education, recreation and social interaction.

The pool is an investment in the future of our community. It would be a shortsighted decision to vote the pool levy down.

We not only need this pool, we need a bigger pool.

It’s amazing to see how busy the pool is every day, almost around the clock.

Voting it down may create many other problems in the long run. We should be proud as a town for having a pool. Please vote yes on the North Whidbey Parks and Recreation levy proposal.

What’s wrong with our schools?

I was writing my check for my second half property tax payment to Island County just before I read the front page article on “Scores improve but still fall short,� in the Whidbey News-Times Sept. 28.

Why am I paying 59 percent of my property taxes to state and local schools for a failing system? It seems as if it’s the same old story. I can’t believe that it stated in the article that not meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) isn’t unusual; 74 percent of Washington school districts didn’t make it.

How is that working for

everyone that pays over 50 percent of their property tax to a system that isn’t cutting the mustard?

It looks to me like the Oak Harbor School District isn’t meeting the requirements or has the required skills to teach the next generation. I wonder how private schools in our area are doing? My hat’s off to the staff, teachers and parents of Hillcrest Elementary who met AYP this year. Keep up the good work you are doing and you deserve a pay raise for a job well done.

Slowik gets the job done In the dozen years I have lived here, I have read in your newspaper about the city hiring consultant after consultant in an attempt to fix downtown Oak Harbor.

Until recently, I haven’t seen much happen. My understanding is that this “analysis paralysis� extends back some 35 years.

But Jim Slowik got something done, and the result is a big win for Oak Harbor.

Most of Pioneer Way looks

great -- and the rest will look great soon! Thirty-five years from now, Pioneer Way will still look great, and just imagine how much money we’ll save by not hiring all those consultants.

Slowik’s challenger isn’t known for doing, but for saying “No!� We need a mayor who gets things done: Jim Slowik, a man who has, in one term, transformed Pioneer Way and made Oak Harbor a better place to live!

To some drivers, it’s north/south While the reader may be correct in writing in his Oct. 26 letter that oddnumber and even-number highways are literally designated as to whether they travel east/west or north/ south, we non-literal drivers will unequivocally say that Highway 20 does indeed travel north/south on Whidbey Island the minute you cross the Deception Pass bridge from Fidalgo Island.

'BDUT PO GJTIJOH BOE GJSFXPSLT The recent article “Sleuth Uncovers Public Beaches,� reported statements by Sheriff Mark Brown that were incorrect.

The incident in question involved a property owner at Lagoon Point. It was stated that the property owner did not shoot a firework at a fisherman but rather into the air to scare the fish. I was one of the witnesses to the incident. The fisherman was attempting to cross a 50-foot section of property to get to the public property on the other side where he intended to fish. The property owner was fishing on his property, as he frequently does, and confronted the fisherman and pushed him when the fisherman attempted to walk around him.

The fisherman did manage to pass by and walked on another 50 yards or so. The property owner went into his house, emerged with the fireworks and walked up to the fisherman who was now on public property. A verbal confrontation ensued; the first firework was fired from about 20 feet away and went over the fisherman’s shoulder narrowly missing him. A second firework was fired that did go more into the air. To say that the fireworks were set off to scare the fish makes no sense.

The property owner was fishing prior to the incident, and subsequently returned to his property to fishing.

The sheriff’s office was immediately called and the incident described by several of us. Officers then went over and spoke to the property owner. Throughout the salmon season the property owner guarded his 50-feet of beach to prevent fishermen

from crossing to reach the large area of public beach on the other side that lacks any other land access. The confrontations were often heated and frequent. To his credit, the property owner and his wife, who also fished, did let fishermen cross onto their property if a large salmon was hooked and swam in that direction.

8IFSF BUIMFUJD TVDDFTT CFHJOT Not completely lost during this election season has been the successes of our Oak Harbor High School sports programs. Our kids have been nothing short of amazing across the board. Success after success, we can be proud of the extraordinary efforts we are seeing from so many of our student athletes.

From football, volleyball to cross country, we are seeing a level of achievement that is normally reserved for those higher profile, bigger money programs. I just want to point out this no fluke. This isn’t one of those passing eras where we just happen to have talented kids in the right place at the right time.

At the epicenter of this shift is a dedicated couple who call Oak Harbor home, Bill and Catie Rodeheffer.

Bill and Catie run and coach the Whidbey Island Running Club; a club that allows young kids to meet, play games, train and grow. Operating on a minuscule budget out of our city pool, Bill and Catie dedicate hours and hours of their own time to ensure our kids have opportunities many other kids do not.

For a very reasonable cost, Coach Bill and Catie are able to be with our kids up to six days a week teaching them the finer points of proper running and training techniques. They cater individual programs that address individual kids’ needs as well as team concepts. Granted, coach Peterson has done an incredible job leading these kids to state, but I’m sure even he would say the Rodeheffers have played a vital role in the development of or kids. It’s no coincidence the Oak Harbor High School cross country teams are headed to state ‌ again! Many of the kids are past or current members of the WIRC. Thanks to Bill and Catie, many of our kids have had the opportunity to participate in Junior Olympics all the way up to the national level.

The selfless nature of the Rodeheffers has been nothing short of amazing and has taught my kids some valuable life lessons that stretch well beyond sports!

Little Sister McKenna Durham and Big Sister Barbara Karr-Gotz enjoy carving a pumpkin together at a recent Match Activity for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Island County. To learn more about this mentoring agency visit www.bbbsislandcounty.org.

Thanks to the Rodeheffers and their relentless dedication, we have many quality years of athletic success ahead of us. But more importantly, we have the opportunity to have our kids’ lives enriched by this dedicated couple.

%JSUZ CVTJOFTT FYUSBDUJOH PJM “A climate bomb� is what Bill McKibben calls the Canadian tar sands project. “Satan Land� is what the National Geographic article about it was titled. This project involves an area the size of Florida in the province of Alberta. It is rapidly converting this fertile land of forests, lakes and rivers toxic by a desperate process that ravages the land and pollutes the water, causing cancer rates among the fish and indigenous people to soar.

The oil is contained within a layer of tarry sand. Its extraction ravages the land and contaminates millions of gallons of water a day. This process produces 3 times the amount of earth and ocean changing CO2 as conventional drilling. The proposed Keystone XL pipeline would run from Alberta through 7 states to refineries and ports in Texas.

The governor of Nebraska officially opposes it because it could contaminate the Oglala

aquifer upon which they rely for farming, etc.

The company Sunco has a very poor record in this regard. The application for approval of the pipeline is on President Obama’s desk awaiting his signature. It will be a great tragedy if he signs it. Here is a link for a look at the operation: Tar Sands Oil Extraction - The Dirty Truth, You Tube video.

4BWF UIF QPPM BOE TBWF B MJGF I’ve sat by long enough and now I must share a story or two. I am a senior citizen with many health issues that prevent me from using a gym or walking for exercise.

A pool has been my salvation many times during my life. In high school, being on the swim team gave me confidence I lacked in myself.

Later I was the first woman lifeguard hired by the Parks and Recreation Department of San Diego County. It increased my skills, taught me responsibility and gave me one of my first jobs. I’ve proudly taught hundreds of kids how to swim and hopefully along that line saved lives.

Now in my golden years, I again return to the pool to stay as healthy as I can. I’m a single woman living on a lim-

ited and sinking retirement and am so grateful I can afford to do my laps. Unfortunately, I can’t afford the membership or monthly fees or I’d belong to the Masters program.

I marvel at two individuals that use the pool, one is blind another a paraplegic, both seniors, both on low incomes.

I’m sure there are others I haven’t met.

The kids on the high school swim team face the same problems. What if their parents can’t afford to pay for one, two or even three kids to belong to the USA swim team that uses the pool? Where do they build their skills and self confidence and achievement?

What about individuals who suffer from arthritis or are recovering from hip, knee or shoulder surgery?

With all the beautiful rivers, lakes and oceans, what would you do if there weren’t swim lessons for your children?

I’m sure drowning accidents would increase.

We should honor our military by not charging them higher rates, they’ve given up enough “rights� to defend and protect us and our country.

For the little children who come with their parents during open swim or the “special� once a month event, it would be hard to replace the bonding of their families and the fun they are having. I think it is much more rewarding than sitting at home watching TV while the kids are

on the computer or iPhone.

There is already very little for them to do in the afternoon or evening after they get out of school.

This is just about the pool, as that is my area of expertise.

It will also affect the soccer program, running club and other events. Are we willing to dismiss all these activities?

The Parks and Recreation Board, all unpaid representatives, are just asking for an extension of what we’ve had the past six years. No increase in taxes! Let’s pull together to make sure this pool stays open to all individuals, old or young, healthy or infirm, and everybody in between. It is the only program that can reach everyone.

Oak Harbor may soon be home to a whale-watching business that could draw about 2,000 tourists per season.

Deception Pass Tours, a water-based scenic tour company that operates out of Cornet Bay, is looking to expand its operations to include seasonal graywhale watching in Saratoga Passage.

While its home base will remain on North Whidbey, the company wants to operate the seasonal business out of one of several communities.

Marinas under consideration include those in Anacortes, Langley and Oak Harbor.

According to company owner Terica Taylor, the new business would run from March 1 to the end of April, the window in which gray whales are typically

seen between Whidbey and Camano islands. They expect to run three, two and a halfhour tours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, she said.

So far, things are looking positive for Oak Harbor.

Taylor said business leaders have been working hard to see how they might accommodate the company’s needs and that means a lot when considering a new venture.

The marina and its staff have also been supportive.

She said Harbormaster Chris Sublet has been especially great, taking time to give her a personal tour of the marina and answer all her questions. “He is head and tails above the other contacts we’ve worked with,� Taylor said.

Considering the potential boon to the city’s economy, it’s no surprise that so many are doing what they can to encourage Taylor and the company to choose Oak

Harbor. “Two thousand people a season, that’s big,� Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce Director Jill Johnson said.

Not only is that a lot of new people visiting, a huge benefit in itself, but whale-watchers are usually the most coveted type of tourist; they are the kind that spend the night, according to Johnson.

While there is no guarantee they won’t stay in neighboring communities, such as Coupeville, those that do stay in Oak Harbor will pay for lodging, buy their meals and spend their money with local merchants.

Because of the city’s urban development, tourists seeking scenic beauty are often referred to locations such as Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve or Deception Pass, Johnson said.

However, the waterfront

Taylor owns Deception Pass Tours and is considering starting a gray-whale watching business in Oak Harbor. is the city’s greatest strength and Johnson said the chamber has been desperate to attract businesses that exploit and draw attention to it. And with the recent redevelopment of downtown’s SE Pioneer Way, this is a timely opportunity. “We’ve needed a chance like this,� Johnson said.

Taylor, who lives in Oak Harbor with her husband and company co-owner, Brett Ginther, said she also is excited about a revitalized SE Pioneer Way and hopes

that her company might play a role in its success as whale-watching customers would no doubt drive through downtown on their way to the marina.

Taylor said a choice must be made by Dec. 1. The city is certainly a final contender but the ultimate decision will likely be based on community support. “We’re from the community,� she said. “We want to be here really bad but it has to be a good business decision.�

Coupeville’s Mitch Pelroy (14) doing what he does best, making a defender miss on a kickoff return.

He had receiving touchdowns of 42, 43, 62, 64 and 77 yards; and TD runs of 41 and 45 yards.

His ability to strike from long distance also carried over to the defensive side of the ball with scoring interception returns of 38 and 40 yards.

He said his personal success is not important, nor are the lack of wins: “It’s not about the record. I love everyone here. We work together, sweat together.

The record is what it is. We work hard and care for each other. It’s about team, not about wins.�

Silver said Pelroy is an

“amazing kid.�

He added, “He is a very hard worker and confident in his abilities. He played all year with an injured shoulder and ankle and never complained.� “He’s all about the team,�

Silver said. “He wants the ball in his hands, but doesn’t complain when it isn’t.�

Pelroy, who is an honor student, would like to play college football and has drawn interest from several schools, one as far away as Massachusetts.

Going across the country to play shouldn’t be a problem -- he is used to traveling a long distance.

Many happy returns

Coupeville senior football player Mitch Pelroy had such a knack for scoring from long distance, coach Jay Silver could have numbered each play designed for the speedy senior 1-800.

The season is over for the Wolves and the highlights the past two years have been sparse, but the 5-8, 160pound Pelroy lit up the stat sheet with 15 scoring plays of 30-or-more yards. Most teams go years without a kickoff return for a touchdown, but Pelroy returned five in two seasons.

Because of Pelroy’s talent, Silver was only half kidding when he said, “Kickoff return is our best offensive play.�

Pelroy most likely would have added to his returntouchdown total, but most teams stopped kicking to him.

Speed is Pelroy’s greatest weapon -- he is one of the conference’s top sprinters in track -- but his talent for reaching the end zone goes beyond quickness.

He said, “You have to be confident and not be afraid; you have to believe that the (blocking) wall will be there.�

He added, “It’s less thinking and more just going.� “It’s also a lot easier,� he said, “when you have blockers like Dalton (Engle) murdering the other team up front.�

Pelroy is more than a kick-return artist.

GP finally defeats ‘Cats

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The last four times Oak Harbor and Glacier Peak have met on the volleyball court, the two evenly matched teams battled through tight contests which finished with the same 3-2 score.

Thursday, Nov. 3, at Oak Harbor in the district tournament, the Grizzlies, for the first time, won one of those matches. The GP win eliminated the Wildcats (116) from the tournament and dashed Oak Harbor’s hopes of reaching the state tournament for a second consecutive year.

Glacier Peak (11-6) took the match with game scores of 25-15, 18-25, 32-30, 21-25, 15-7.

The outcome of the match, for the most part, was determined by the results of the exciting third game.

The Grizzlies went up 6-3, then Oak Harbor went on a 5-0 run to take the lead 8-6.

From that point, no team led by more than two.

With the score knotted at 24, both teams continued to swing away, not resorting to the conservative attack often seen at the end of close matches. Eleven of the final 14 points were scored on kills; the other three were the result of service errors, two by Oak Harbor.

It was in serving that Glacier Peak held a big edge throughout the match. Over the five games, the Grizzlies fired 13 aces to Oak Harbor’s two, while committing only five service errors to the Wildcats’ eight.

Glacier Peak held a less dominating edge in kills, 51-46.

The teams split “easy� games over the first two sets.

Behind 15 kills to Oak Harbor’s six, the Grizzlies cruised in game one.

The Wildcats rebounded by building a nine-point lead midway through game two and coasted to the win.

After losing the thrilling third game, Oak Harbor again bounced back in game four. Up 21-20, two kills by Janine DeGuzman and another by Kelsey Rankin helped wrap up the set.

FAITHFUL LIVING

Soroptimist International of Coupeville seeks to award two women with the Soroptimist Women’s Opportunity Award and the Violet Richardson Award.

The Soroptimist Women’s Opportunity Award gives women the resources to improve their education and employment prospects.

Applicants must be women who provide the primary financial support for their families, who are enrolled in or have been accepted to a vocational/ skills training program or an undergraduate degree

Late-night calls used to send my heart racing. During my childhood such calls meant one thing: somebody had passed.

Late-night calls in recent years have become commonplace and far less alarming.

That’s because we armed our children with cell phones when they became teenagers and paid for their use with one stipulation: if we called, they were required to answer. We also asked them to regularly check in with us and oh, they did. In fact, “back pocket� calls, those accidental dialings made after dropping a phone into a purse or shoving it into a pocket, came so regularly we stopped lunging at the phone each time it rang.

It is for these reasons that a phone call, rousing me from sleep this week, set off no alarms in me at first. I assumed that one of the kids, now young adults, probably had something they wanted to tell us about their day. We love those calls and take them without complaint, for the kids are wanting to share tidbits about their lives, their friends and their work.

This call, was different. My husband did not hit the speaker as he normally does so I can easily join the conversation. Instead, Matt grew quiet after offering his usual initial greeting. “I see. I see. I see.�

I turned on the reading light, realizing it was indeed, a call we knew we’d eventually receive, but not so soon and not without warning. As Matt silently mouthed to me our friend’s name, I felt a wash of cold water move down my body, that same feeling I get every time I hear news that hurts my heart. “Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.�

Now propped up on my elbow, the full impact of the conversation reached deep within me. Our friend, the one who shared an office space with my husband for a few months, who loved to fish and had an appetite for good food and good friends with whom to share it, had stepped away from his cancer-filled body. While we anticipated this outcome, we did not want to say goodbye just yet.

As we quickly pulled on travel clothing and grabbed our jackets, we shared short snippets of conversation. Did we have our phone charger?

Should we grab some coffee? After those exchanges we grew silent as we drove to the hospital, both of us praying. Both anticipating what we might experience and how we would respond.

In those moments on the road, in the dark, I thought of Steve Jobs, of all people. It is widely reported that the Apple CEO and company founder had many doubts about God. Self-made men often do. So do those dealt great sorrow in this life. Yet it has been revealed by his sister that in those final moments, when he could still speak, he looked beyond those gathered in the room and spoke these simple words, “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.�

So to our dear friend, we’re glad your trial is over. We celebrate you and eagerly anticipate “The wow!� That alone makes this goodbye bearable.

The cash award may be used to offset any costs associated with efforts to attain higher education including books, childcare and transportation.

The regional level winner will be awarded $5,000.

At the next level, three finalists receive $10,000 awards.

For an application, to be postmarked by Dec. 15, call Susan at 678-4171.

The Violet Richardson Award is given to a young woman between age 14 and 17 who volunteers in

the Coupeville community or school.

The winner will be someone who changes hope into despair, believes in the power of volunteer action and makes Coupeville a better place to live.

The winner will receive a monetary award and then become eligible for one of 28 $1,000 awards. One finalist will be chosen for an additional award, including a contribution of $2,500 to the finalist’s volunteer organization.

HOPE celebrates 25 years In celebration of HOPE Therapeutic Riding School’s 25 years of service, Payless Food in Freeland donated a $250 gift certificate and ten $25 gift certificates for a fundraising raffle.

Payless staff were able to void the old gift certificate and reissue a new one.

As a nonprofit, donations to the raffle keep HOPE able to offer programs to address the needs of people of all ages who are facing a broad

range of challenges, including physical, cognitive and emotional.

For the past 25 years, HOPE has helped students achieve greater mobility, self-confidence and social skills.

Teacher receives $2,000 surprise

Sam and Amie Weatherford stand with their newly adopted daughter, Grace Marie Harris.

6-year-old finds new home with adoptive parents Grace Harris will join Weatherfords in Coupeville Sam and Amie Weatherford of Coupeville are now officially the parents of Grace Marie Harris.

Six-year-old Grace’s adoption took place at the Island County Cour thouse on Monday.

Grace was very excited to be the center of all the celebrating. She donned a new dress with a pearl necklace, given to her by her grandmother, and a new haircut.

In the Coupeville courtroom, Grace stood up and softly said into the microphone, “I’m very happy now,� according to Laureen.

When Office Max staff wheeled a cart full of school supplies into Shawn Sullivan’s third grade class at Olympic View Elementary School, the room erupted into cries of glee and surprise. Sullivan’s eyes went wide and she put a hand over her mouth as they announced that the supplies were all hers from Office Max’s “A Day Made Better� program.

Sullivan was given more than $2,000 worth of supplies. Office Max donated $1,000 of that and the rest came from fundraising during the summer. Office Max staff also wheeled in a new chair, a classroom printer and a digital camera. “The goal is to wipe out teacher-funded classrooms,� said Calvin Wheeler from Office Max. On average, teachers spend approximately $1,000 of their own money on classroom supplies, Wheeler said. With budget shortfalls and cuts, teachers still want to ensure their students are getting the best education they can, which often means teachers have no choice but to use their own money.

Wheeler presented Sullivan with a bouquet of flowers, balloons and an A Day Made Better award. Smiling, she sat in her new chair to a chorus of “oohs� from the students.

Excitement overcame the students and they rushed to the front of the classroom to peek into the boxes of pens, folders and more. Each student received a packet of school supplies. “Oh my gosh, I’m just so shocked! I just appreciate it so much,� Sullivan said, smiling. “It’s great to have supplies for the classroom. I’m so shocked! It’s very nice to

have some of these extra things we haven’t had before -- and the chair!� “I’m very happy for my teacher,� said student Jaden Brown, literally jumping for joy. “She’s the best teacher,� added student Noelia Lara.

School principals can nominate their teachers to receive this surprise award based on the teacher’s passion for teaching, innovation in the classroom and dedication to their students’ success.

Olympic View Elementary School Principal Martha Adams said she nominated Sullivan because she does what it takes to get the job done and “she is one who always goes above and beyond.�

This is the second time an Olympic View Elementary School teacher has won this award.

The supplies are especially helpful because Olympic View Elementary is “such a mobile school,� Adams said, adding that due to the military population, approximately two or three new students start at Olympic View Elementary each week. Families that bought supplies at another school before moving to Whidbey Island shouldn’t be asked to buy them again here, Adams said. “You (Office Max) know what we need and how much money we spend on all of this. How exciting is this?� Adams said.

Each year, Office Max and Adopt-AClassroom, a program that helps the community donate to classrooms, work together to award A Day Made Better to 1,000 teachers nation-wide. Office Max surveys the schools to ensure supplies match the teachers’ needs. The school also receives a box of donated school supplies. “They have really done a nice job of supporting us,� Adams said.

Helen Marie Bollen

Helen Marie Bollen Helen Marie Bollen, 77, of Coupeville, passed away on Oct. 26, 2011, at the Cottage by the Cove Adult Family Home.

Mrs. Bollen was born in Los Angeles on May 21, 1934, to Raymond and Leonora Marie (De Vincenzi) Varnum.

She attended UCLA for three years. On Aug. 24, 1955, Helen married Jack Ray Bollen in Hollywood, Calif. The couple enjoyed a marriage of 48 years.

Helen and Jack raised their family in Hacienda Heights, Calif. Helen served in the Hacienda Heights Christian Church as secretary, Sunday school teacher, children’s choir director and host of a home Bible study. During this time, she was also employed as a freelance court transcriber and secretary at Cal Poly Pomona. They lived briefly in Iran, immediately prior to the overthrow of the Shah.

They then moved to Fairfax County, Va., where Helen began working as a secretary at TRW. She attended Calvary Christian Church and served

there as the children’s choir director and host of a home Bible study.

The next move was to Lawndale, Calif., where Helen worked as an executive secretary at TRW. She served in the University Christian Church, where she also helped lead home Bible studies. Helen and Jack then made their retirement home in Sequim where they served in the Dungeness Community Church, leading and participating in Sunday and weekday Bible classes, missions committee and visiting new members. Following Jack’s death in 2004, Helen moved to Whidbey Island, to be closer to family. She continued to be faithful in attending church and Bible studies through Christ the King churches in Oak Harbor and Coupeville.

Helen’s life is a testament to gracious living. She opened her home and her heart to college students, kids and adults, always sharing good food, encouraging words and the grace of Christ. Though she never finished college due to the arrival of children, she used her many skills to organize, simplify and make sure others had what was needed for their job. She and Jack supported their four kids through college and beyond as life took them in many different directions. The custom of a family reunion every few years was her way of holding that far-flung group together, and it extended to grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She fought her 20-year battle with Parkinson’s disease and diabetes with uncomplaining grace and dignity, along with a firm hope in Christ.

Helen was always a cheerful presence on any project. Her love of music shone through, too, from car sing-alongs to major kids choir productions, cantatas to caroling. Her pot

roast and apple pie were fourstar, and gardening was one of her passions. Most of all, she and Jack loved to share the Bible, to study it with others, to see a deeper understanding blossom in people’s hearts. Wherever they went, they took this as one of their first tasks: find a church and start a Bible study. Helen even helped urge her assisted living facility to start on-site church services there for her fellow seniors, and up to the last few weeks of her life she was faithfully attending Bible study in Oak Harbor.

Helen is survived by her children and their spouses: two sons, Greg Bollen (Ginette) of Malaga, Spain and Dave Bollen (Michelle) of Grass Valley, Calif.; two daughters, Laurel Jew (Randy) of Santa Rosa, Calif. and Ann Jaques (Don) of Oak Harbor; ten grandchildren; one greatgrandchild; also, her sister, Nancy Lindgren of Placerville, Calif.

Private interment will take place at Tahoma National Cemetery. A memorial service will be at Oak Harbor Christian Reformed Church on Friday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m., Pastor Todd King of Christ the King Church officiating. Memorial contributions may be made to Frontiers: www.frontiersusa. org/site/PageNavigators/ give/give; or to the National Parkinson’s Foundation: www. parkinson.org/. Family and friends are encouraged to visit whidbeymemorial.com.

My name is W. Dean Gettig and these are my last thoughts on my life and times.

I was born in Hagerstown, Md., in 1933. We moved a lot because my father, a life insurance agent, liked interacting with his clients so he didn’t want a supervisor position which would have been more stable. I was the third of five boys, so right in the middle, you know what that’s like.

I graduated from high school (not with flying colors), hitchhiked from Pennsylvania to Florida and also to California while still in my teens. I then decided

to join the U.S. Navy, serving on the USS St. Paul during the Korean War. During this time I meet my first wife, married in 1953 and had a daughter in 1954. Upon leaving the Navy, we moved back to Iowa.

Work there was scarce, California was booming (and I liked the weather better) so I went west to work, with wife and child to follow. But ... marriage annulled. Did meet and marry again in 1956, having two daughters, one in 1957 and one in 1958.

That marriage lasted until 1961.

I met Lynda Fay in August 1963 and married her in November of 1968 (the first weekend after deer season closed! “Now honey, what’s more important?�) Well, third time was the charm and we’re still together. We hunted, fished, traveled, loved and fought together for 43 years and they went too fast. We lived a life that many would envy.

In 1979, I designed our home and in 1980 we built it together with our own hands deep in the Whidbey Island woods that we loved. In 1982 we opened “At Your Service Flowers and Gifts� on Ault Field Road, never operating in the red and by golly, the ink got blacker and blacker!

Thanks to all our wonderful customers, we still miss you.

We sold out and “retired� in 1997, only to joyfully work for friends painting roads and airfields during the summer and snow-birding to Yuma in the winter. The best of both worlds! We have met so many wonderful new friends along the way.

I am writing this on a sunny 80 degree day from Yuma, where my story ends, Oct. 28, 2011. I leave behind my wife Lynda, our very special “daughter� Laura Link, my last brother Jay and his wife Carol in Florida, sistersin-law Corey Gettig, Fla., and Mary Lynn Gettig in Hummelstown, Penn. I leave this life holding hands with my loving wife of 43 years knowing we will meet again to continue our journey together.

David Ruiz and Mary Irene Cortez in their early 20s when they first met.

David Ruiz and Mary Irene Cortez are celebrating their 50th anniversary.

David and Mary Ruiz celebrate 50 years David Ruiz and Mary Irene Cortez were married Oct. 21, 1961. They met at a dance in Earlimart, Calif.

Irene was 20 years old and David was 22 but by then he had already served four years in the U.S. Navy on the USS Columbus and USS Saint Paul.

The couple was stationed at the naval base in San Diego, Calif., where their daughter Tracey, the first of their five children, was born. Over the next 14 years, David moved up the enlisted ranks to Master Chief Petty Officer and served on the USS Coral Sea CVA-43, USS Ranger CVA-61, USS Shasta AE-33 and USS Mars AFS-1.

At home, Irene managed a household of four children: Tracey, Irene, David, Jr. and Christopher.

She worked in the banking industry and was involved in community activities including Navy Wives, Girl

Scouts, Boy Scouts, Little League and PTA. In 1978, David was commissioned and assigned to the USS Coral Sea as stores officer and the family relocated to the Naval Base Bangor. It was in Bangor in 1979 that their fifth child, Victoria, was born.

In 1984, David was promoted to lieutenant and assigned to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station as the officer in charge of the NEX and commissary. David retired from the US Navy in 1987 but continued to work for the government on foreign assignments.

David and Irene returned to Whidbey in 2000 where David served in a civilian capacity as the general manager of the Navy Exchange until his retirement in 2002.

They will celebrate with their family on Whidbey and on the River Walk in San Antonio, Texas.

To My Sweet Girl Dolly Lynn Beck June 7, 1997 - October 24, 2011

Dolly Lynn Beck passed away peacefully on Monday October 24th.

Dolly was a precious and beautiful Bichon Frise that I adored. She loved her treats. So many people admired and loved her as she loved them.

Dolly is survived by her mom Kathleen.

A special thank you to: Dr. Campbell and her staff, and Corinne Boon, her groomer, for her beautiful beauty treatments.

Cremation will be provided by Evergreen Pet Cremation after which Dolly will be brought back to her home.
