Central Whidbey voters will decide fire future By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

Last of a series

For more than a century, fire services on Central Whidbey was handled by a single group of people — volunteers. They were our friends, our neighbors, our dentists and lawyers. They taught our children, built our houses, and worked at the local grocery. Volunteer firefighting is a proud tradition, and one that’s existed and thrived in small communities across the country for generations. Yet, for a variety of reasons, volunteer numbers are on the decline. In fact, nationally it’s at its lowest level in 25 years. Central Whidbey has been hit particularly hard. Since 1993, its complement of 57 volunteers has been whittled down to a roster of just 17, not including two in the academy. During that time, the district has transitioned to a combination department that includes 19 total paid personnel. They have helped to fill in the gap and assure adequate fire service, but it’s not enough and the ramifications of the department’s dwindling volunteer ranks has become increasingly clear with a reduction in response capabilities. Fire officials hope to tackle the problem with a 34-cent levy lid increase on the Feb. 14 special election ballot. But it’s a fix not everyone agrees with. Also, while the district can boast it is debt-free, it has a tax rate higher than its two island neighbors, both of which serve more people and respond to more calls each year. While there may be some disagreement about the need for a

This is the final story in a three-part series looking at declining volunteer levels at Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue. The problem is beginning to adversely affect the department’s performance. The district is hoping to address the issue with a 34-cent levy-lid increase on the Feb. 14 special election ballot. Estimated to garner an additional $510,000 a year, a portion would fund recruitment efforts. If passed, the total levy for a $300,000 home chalks out to $33.50 per month or $402 annually.

The program is no longer active but fire officials hope to revive it to drum up new volunteers. levy increase, there is little debate that the volunteer problem is very real. Win or lose at the polls, it’s a problem that will continue to challenge the district and define how fire services are delivered in Central Whidbey.

Operating debt free According to Central Whidbey Fire Commissioner Paul Messner, one of Central Whidbey’s strengths is that it is debt-free. Instead of using bonds to pay for capital purchases, which incur greater expense over the long term

with interest payments, the board has used money from its existing levy. That was the case last year when the board approved the 2012 budget, which included the purchase of a fire engine. “If you bought it with a bond, it would cost twice as much,” Messner said. While many might consider that wise spending, the policy isn’t without critics. Coupeville resident John Kohlmann said it takes away voters’ ability to weigh in on capital purchases, which are often put before the people with a bond or levy.

“I’d like to know what I’m voting for,” Kohlmann said. Also, if the district has enough money for new fire engines, he questions why it can’t also drum up enough for more volunteers. Central Whidbey Fire Chief Ed Hartin said there is no fluff in the budget. In fact, without the levy increase, the department faces an estimated shortfall next year of $190,000. The district would have to cut all 10 of its part-time firefighters along SEE FIRE, A4

Republicans pick their favorites for president By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Republicans in Island County will get their chance next month to help choose the party’s nominee for president. The Republican precinct caucuses will be held in the state on Saturday, March 3, just three days before Super Tuesday. In Island County, they will be pooled at locations in Oak Harbor, Langley and Camano Island. Attendance is expected to be substantial. “It really is a fascinating process because it’s so grassroots,” said Brett Wilhelm, the chairman of the Island County Republican Party. “It’s truly a bottom-up arrangement.” Some political analysts have predicted that the caucus in Washington could be especially significant for the candidates in building momentum toward Super Tuesday, which is when 10 states hold nominating contests. In addition, Wilhelm speculates that delegates from the state could have an important role if the nominee is ultimately picked at a “brokered convention.” That would occur if none of the candidates came to the national convention with enough delegates to secure the nomination. A “grand compromise candidate,” possibly someone completely new in the race, would be chosen by the delegates; those from Washington could be very influential, Wilhelm said. Wilhelm said he’s not sure how many people to expect to take part in the caucuses in Island County, but he suspects it will be a crowded, noisy but civil affair. He said taking part in SEE CAUCUS, A2

Discover Pass needed at bridge lot Even though designed for short-term visitors, people will still need to display the Discover Pass when they park in the small parking lot located on the south end of the Deception Pass Bridge. Pass Park Ranger Jack Hartt said the pass is required because of the easy access the lot provides to the restrooms and to the park trails.

There are areas where short-term visitors can pull over to see the spectacular views the bridge offers without having to purchase the pass, which costs $10 daily or $30 annually. Those areas include Pass Island, the pullouts on the north side of the bridge and the southbound shoulder south of the bridge. Road crews recently

installed â€œno parkingâ€? signs on the shoulder next to the northbound lane of Highway 20 on the Whidbey Island side of the bridge. Hartt said it was best to ban parking on the shoulder because cars block visibility for motorists traveling off Whidbey Island.

the process can really be an education in both national and local politics. â€œIf nothing else, they are going to learn whatâ€™s important to their neighbors,â€? he said. Although the Tea Party has fallen silent on Whidbey in recent months, Wilhelm said Republicans are definitely energized on the island. â€œThere is more attendance, more donations and more activism,â€? he said. State lawmakers cancelled this yearâ€™s presidential primary to save money, so the caucuses are taking center stage. The March 3 caucuses is only the first part of a three-phase process of choosing delegates to go to the 2012 Republican National Convention in August. But the precinct caucuses will hold a nonbinding presidential straw poll, which will likely receive serious scrutiny and publicity. As Wilhelm explained, residents in each county precinct will choose delegates to represent them. Those delegates, along with automatic delegates, will go on to the county convention at Oak Harbor High School March 24. A

total of 23 elected delegates and 23 alternates will be sent on to the state convention at the end of May. The pool is further narrowed and a total of 40 delegates will get to go to the national convention. The caucus for North Whidbey voters will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 3 at Oak Harbor High School. There is no fee for admission. Registered voters residing in one of the 40 precincts located on North Whidbey and part of Central Whidbey will convene for a pooled caucus in the Student Union Building at Oak Harbor High School, 1 Wildcat Way, Oak Harbor. The caucus for South Whidbey voters will be held at the same time in the New Commons Room of South Whidbey High School, 5675 Maxwelton Road, Langley. The Navy Outlying Field south of Coupeville serves to divide the north and south precincts. Those in precincts on the north side of the outlying field will caucus in Oak Harbor and those south of the field will caucus in Langley. The caucus on Camano Island will be at the Lost Lake Club House.

Democrats caucus in April Island County Democrats donâ€™t have to help pick a presidential candidate, but their caucus could still be exciting. After all, the precinct caucus is the first step for regular folks who hope to be delegates at the Democratic National Convention. And itâ€™s a good opportunity to discuss politics with neighbors. The Island County Precinct Caucuses will be held at 1 p.m., Sunday, April 15 at four locations around Island County. Each of Island Countyâ€™s 83 precincts will elect delegates to the county convention. The caucus locations will be at North Whidbey Middle School, Coupeville Middle/ High School, South Whidbey High School and Utsalady Elementary School. â€œNot everyone is happy about the Sunday date for the caucuses, but Washington State Democrats set this date for the state-wide meetings,â€? states a notice on the Island County Democratsâ€™ website. The Island County Convention will be held at 10 a.m. on Sunday, April 29 at Langley Middle School. Delegates chosen at the precinct caucus will elect delegates to the 2nd Congressional District Caucuses and the State Democratic Convention.

While maintaining a park and tending to visitorsâ€™ needs, state park rangers also serve as police officers and respond to everything from speeders to suicide attempts. Due to recent cutbacks that basically gutted staff at Washingtonâ€™s state parks, the remaining rangers will struggle to maintain their law enforcement duties. On Whidbey Island, hundreds of thousands of visitors arrive each year and law enforcement problems are inevitable. â€œItâ€™s going to be a challenge. We donâ€™t know at this point,â€? said Jack Hartt, park ranger at Deception Pass State Park, about how his reduced staff will keep up with their duties. The popular north end park, one of the busiest in the state, originally had nine park rangers; however, recent cutbacks will reduce that number to five. For the remaining major state parks on Whidbey

Island --- Fort Casey, Fort Ebey, and South Whidbey --that number will be reduced to two from seven. Those two rangers will have to cover all three parks. Washington State Parks is in a funding crisis as the agency weans itself off taxpayer dollars toward a fee-based system. The state Legislature provided $17 million in funding, which was essentially bridging dollars to allow the Discover Pass to come into effect during the biennium. The Discover Pass is a vehicle fee visitors have to pay when they enter a state park. Motorists will either pay $10 a day or $30 a year for park access. Park officials hoped that the pass would raise $64 million to help cover park operations through the biennium. Sales indicate that the amount raised isnâ€™t keeping pace with projections. Hartt said revenue for the park system was at least $8 million short but that number could climb as high as

$20 million when the tallying is complete. Because of the shortfall, park leaders slashed full-time positions and will use seasonal positions to help state parks get through the busy tourist season. A park ranger serves as a jack-of-all-trades. While acting as police officers, they also register visitors, mow grass, clean restrooms, maintain buildings and make repairs. â€œWe take care of everything,â€? Hartt said. As police officers, they respond to a plethora of incidents including drunken driving, domestic violence, firearms issues, fights, car and boating accidents and, at Deception Pass, people threatening to jump or actually jumping from the bridge. A chilling example of the dangers park rangers face occurred in January when a ranger at Mount Rainier was shot and killed. The first of four rangers slated to lose their positions left Deception Pass State

Deception Pass Park Ranger Jack Hartt and other park rangers are trying keep up with their law enforcement duties after cutbacks gutted park staff. Park yesterday and the others will work until the middle of the month. Hartt said the rangers who lost their positions will likely be working this summer on a seasonal basis, but they are also looking for full-time work. After that, the seasonal positions will be filled with part-time help by people who donâ€™t have the law enforcement training the current rangers have. After 2012, Whidbeyâ€™s state parks will have to rely on temporary workers during the summer.

Rangers are talking with local law enforcement and emergency personnel to help fill the gaps created by the staffing loss. Hartt said he is negotiating with North Whidbey Fire and Rescue to provide assistance to properly man the parkâ€™s boat in the event of a water rescue in the pass. Marv Koorn, chief of North Whidbey Fire and Rescue, said he hopes that a firefighter would either assist a park ranger in manning the boat or have access to the boat

should a ranger not be available. While such an arrangement would delay a rangerâ€™s response to a water incident, it would speed up firefightersâ€™ response time because they would have access to a boat already in the water. Hartt is also talking with the Island County Sheriffâ€™s Office about how deputies could help the park rangers. He said he knows the sheriffâ€™s office is also struggling with budget cuts and layoffs, which will make policing the parks all the more difficult.

Impact fee waiver considered for historic barn mover By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

The town of Coupeville is considering a proposal that would lessen the cost a Coupeville builder is paying to move a historic barn. The town may waive the park impact fee for Dan Miranda, who is paying to move the Holbrook barn from

a lot on NE Eighth Street to the community lot behind the Coupeville Public Library, which is about a block away. The town charges $1,427 whenever a single-family home is constructed. That money goes to pay for park improvements and other projects such as trails. Miranda plans to build a two-story home and a guest house on

the property that was home to the barn for many decades. The cost of moving the barn isnâ€™t known yet, but estimates indicate it could be as high as $20,000. That amount includes a new foundation and stabilization work on the new site. The move is anticipated in about two weeks. Larry Kwarsick, town planner, raised the issue during

Tuesdayâ€™s Town Council meeting. He said Miranda didnâ€™t approach the town for a waiver, but he thought it was a good idea. Kwarsick recalled that another Coupeville resident once received a $76,000 credit for park impact fees when he donated acreage to the town as part of a short plat process. Councilman Bob Clay said

the council should waive the park impact fees for the house and guest house project and then wait and see what the actual costs for moving the barn are before considering any further credits. Coumcilman Larry Cort agreed. â€œIâ€™m inclined to think this is a good idea,â€? Cort said. Doubts were expressed,

however. â€œIâ€™m not so sure how I feel about a credit,â€? Councilwoman Molly Hughes said. The park impact fees add up. The Town Council now has $75,549 in its park impact fee fund, according to the townâ€™s 2012 operating budget.

FIRE CONTINUED FROM A1 with one full-time position, which would result in the loss of 24-hour coverage by paid personnel. â€œThere is no way around that,â€? Hartin said. The loss of 11 employees may have other impacts as well. The district currently receives about $200,000 from Whidbey General Hospital for basic life support ambulance services. According to Hartin, it will be difficult to meet the terms of that contract with the staff cuts and so few volunteers. If the levy passes, about $200,000 would fund one fulltime training captain, who would focus on volunteer recruitment and retention, and one full-time firefighter, who would also serve as a mechanic. According to Hartin, that would also cover the expense of new volunteers. They may be donating their time at no cost, but training and gear cost the district about $5,000 each. â€œVolunteers arenâ€™t free,â€? Hartin said. The largest portion of the additional levy funds, about $235,000, would be put away each year to fund the replacement of fire apparatus as needed, and the remainder, about $75,000, would go toward maintaining the existing level of service.

Cost comparisons Another concern voters

may have is that Central Whidbeyâ€™s tax rate is higher than both North Whidbey Fire and Rescue or South Whidbey Fire/EMS. Yet, they have more residents and respond to more calls every year. According to Hartin, most of Central Whidbeyâ€™s current budget, approximately $1.1 million, pays for paid personnel. That breaks down to 10 part-time and six full-time firefighters, two command chiefs, one office manager and a part-time office assistant. Along with its 17 volunteers, the district serves about 10,000 people and responded to 959 calls in 2011. That compares to 17,000 residents and 1,645 calls at North Whidbey Fire and Rescue and 15,000 residents and 1,950 calls at South Whidbey Fire/EMS Fire. Messner argues that comparing district data can be a tricky business, especially when it concerns total district population and call volume. What those numbers donâ€™t tell is that all three service areas are about the same size geographically. Having the assets necessary to respond to any part of a district, whether itâ€™s once or five times a day, costs about the same, he said. â€œThe cost of covering the area is the same regardless of the amount of people in it,â€? Messner said. Hartin said it is hard to accurately compare district data because all departments work and perform a little differently. Also, while Central Whidbey residents may be

paying more for their fire service, itâ€™s not without value. Paid personnel not only provide a guaranteed response 24 hours a day, they also perform a variety of other duties, he said. For example, the inspection of fire hydrants helps keep homeownerâ€™s fire insurance ratings down. Full-time staff also tend to be more stable positions, with less turnover than both part-time and volunteers. That often translates to a more experienced and more effective department, he said. â€œAgain, I think weâ€™re getting good value out of the people we have,â€? Hartin said.

Pieces of the puzzle According to the National Volunteer Fire Council, 70 percent of the countryâ€™s 1.3 million firefighters are volunteers. However, from 1984 and 2010, that number has dropped 14 percent. While a decline in volunteers is clearly a national problem, there are many strategies that have been successfully employed, said Philip Stittleburg, the associationâ€™s chairman and a volunteer fire chief in LaFarge, Wis. One of the most effective is a program called Fire Corps. Simply put, it aims to connect departments with people who want to volunteer but not in emergency roles. Retired accountants, lawyers, handymen; many might be very willing to lend

a hand if given the opportunity, he said. â€œThere is so much talent out there,â€? Stittleburg said. Chief Hartin is familiar with the program and plans to put the concept behind it to good use. It could be particularly helpful considering Coupevilleâ€™s rising median age of 51 years, he said. Another successful strategy involves the use of youth programs in local schools. One once existed in Coupeville and Hartin said he has had talks with school officials about getting it started again. There are a few obstacles, however. The days of sending students into burning buildings, or any other dangerous situation for that matter, are long gone. Any future program would largely be more educational in nature. But the value of getting young people interested in the fire service and volunteerism should not be underestimated, he said. â€œI think thatâ€™s a very important piece of the puzzle,â€? Hartin said. Finally, the department will focus heavily on the retention of existing volunteers. Over the past four years, the department has seen 30 new recruits come through the door. But, economic and demographic challenges have resulted in the loss of 32 during the same period. The district is already working on addressing retainment issues, but there is room for improvement, he said.

While some might argue that the department could do more with less, a lack of volunteers and the pressures that have decimated their ranks will continue to present challenges whether the levy is approved or not. â€œWeâ€™re going to need to work on it no matter what,â€? Hartin said. But its passage will make things considerably easier, he said. With the proposed training captain, Hartin hopes to increase volunteer levels by at least 20 people. Thatâ€™s how many are needed to provide an adequate level of service, he said. Without someone dedicated to the job, the duties will fall on those who remain, which will slow an already difficult task. Even with the training captain, he expects it would be two or three years before they reach their goal. â€œItâ€™s like turning an aircraft carrier around,â€? Hartin said. â€œIt takes a long time.â€? But neither he nor Stittleburg say itâ€™s impossible. With a history that dates back to before the American Revolution, and 768,150 volunteers serving across the country in 2010, volunteer firefighting isnâ€™t a tradition that will go away anytime soon, Stittleburg said. Every department that relies on volunteers has its own set of challenges, whether they be economic or demographic. The solution for each will vary but itâ€™s something the fire service can handle. â€œSolving problems is our job,â€? Stittleburg said.

Eatery takes aim at winter doldrums By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

Mark Laska was tired of the winter doldrums and he looked to his rustic Italian restaurant for the cure. The owner of one of Central Whidbeyâ€™s newest restaurants is hosting a month-long celebration. Itâ€™s Carnevale time at Ciao and the restaurant, which opened last May, is providing specialty dishes and live music to mark the celebration. Laska said he wanted a celebration to lift peopleâ€™s spirits during one of the slowest and dreariest times of the year. It provides a warm break from the cloudy days, frequent rain, wind and occasional snow. â€œThis town was kind of in the doldrums,â€? Lasko said. â€œI built this place to be a focal point.â€? He said a month-long celebration will help break up the winter blues. Carnevale kicked off in January and wraps up Feb. 21, which is Fat Tuesday. Ciao is offering food specials, each honoring a different region of Italy. The specials range from fettucini alfredo and lasagna to seafood scampi and steak florentine. Live music is offered three nights a week. Thursdays will feature Eddie McGehee, Fridays will feature Trio Nouveau and Saturdayâ€™s music is Straight Ahead Duo, with dancing from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Mark Laska, owner of Ciao, prepares one his restaurantâ€™s popular pizzas. The new restaurant is celebrating Carnevale through Feb. 21. Ciao is located on North Main Street in the former home of the County Deli. The building underwent a renovation in the months leading up to the restaurantâ€™s opening. Business has been strong for Laska since opening Ciao. He describes the food he prepares as rustic Italian. Ciao features pizza nepoletana, which follows criteria set by Italyâ€™s Ministry of Agriculture, Laska said. Each pizza has to contain

Italian flour, San Marzano tomatoes, Italian olive oil and fresh mozzarella cheese, which Ciao chefs make everyday. Its pizza is also made by hand. Laska is quick to point out the connection Ciao has with local farmers. He said 70 percent of the ingredients come from Whidbey Island sources while the remaining comes from the finest sources in Italy. Laska, who has been liv-

ing in Coupeville for seven years with his wife and two children, is also proud to say that he has employed up to 20 people in the summer and theyâ€™re all locals from the Central Whidbey area. Ciao is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. It is located at 701 N. Main St. in Coupeville. Call 678-0800 for more information.

IN OUR OPINION

Golf cart laws evolve The simple golf cart demonstrates the complexity of living in modern times. State Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, D-Camano Island, got a law passed last year allowing people to drive golf carts in properly established golf cart zones. The idea was hatched by people living around the now-defunct Holmes Harbor Golf Course in Freeland, where roads have such names as Fairway Drive and Chip Shot Lane. All they wanted to do was legally drive golf carts around the neighborhood and on the short stretch of county road that divides the golf course and houses. Then the idea caught on with the alternative energy and green living crowd, leading Coupeville and Langley to join Island County in creating golf cart zones. It started getting complicated. At the urging of the sheriff, Coupeville decided golf carts on public roads would need brake lights and turn signals. The sheriff was mollified, but not satisfied. He still had safety concerns. Meanwhile, a county attorney pointed out that the state law doesnâ€™t allow local jurisdictions to add golf cart restrictions. Sen. Haugen is now at work to permit such local tinkering. Lately, the idea of headlights has been raised. We can expect more concerns to arise as the issue becomes better known. Why shouldnâ€™t golf cart drives be required to wear seat belts? The carts are open and dangerous, shouldnâ€™t doors be required, or at least air bags front and back? Without a windshield, bugs could hit drivers in the eye, inducing bug-caused crashes. Goggles should certainly be required. And definitely a helmet, as golf cart drivers could easily fall out when rounding a corner too fast. For added protection, require a roll bar under the soft top. Inevitably, people will start racing golf carts. Electric motors will be replaced by small gas motors, and then V-8 engines. Laws will have to be adopted to regulate the size of engines and their emissions. Ultimately, old duffers who drive their golf carts will need tail lights, brake lights, head lights, helmets, goggles, air bags, seat belts, shoulder harnesses, roll bar and engine restraint devices, like they use in NASCAR so the cars canâ€™t go too fast. Oh, and donâ€™t forget proof of insurance and registration. All this equipment will make it vastly more expensive to outfit a golf cart and also more difficult to see while driving. But thereâ€™s also a solution for that. If it looks like youâ€™re about to hit someone or something, youâ€™ll be required by law to yell, â€œFore!â€?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Shanty Fest reset: Feb. 18 When the Whidbey Island ShantyFest at the Greenbank Farm had to be canceled due to snow, wind and cold, we had to decide what to do next. The Shifty Sailors chose to reschedule for Saturday, Feb. 18, because this concert/fundraiser is our gift to our island community. Our gift comes in two packages: The first being the joining together of four musical groups (Shifty Sailors; Whateverly Brothers; Watch the Sky and Chris Roe) to make island people aware through music of Whidbeyâ€™s three medical support funds: Friends of Friends, Small Miracles and Medical Safety Net of North Whidbey, and at the same time donating all of the profits to these worthwhile organizations. The second gift which is free (the five afternoon song sessions and workshops), is our gift to our island community. The 45-minute presentations include a childrenâ€™s sing-along of nautical songs; stories and songs about women and the sea; an adult song circle; storytellers sharing nautical stories; and a time to discuss how to create, arrange and promote music on the island. Your input is welcome in all the sessions. In addition, several artisans will be demonstrating their craft while the sessions are going on. And Whidbey Pies has created a special â€œseamanâ€™s pieâ€? to be served during the festival. Iâ€™m sure many on the island do not know the history of

the Shifty Sailors. The Island County Historical Society in Coupeville asked me in 1993 to form a group of singers to help promote the sales of a new book called â€œSails, Steamships & Sea Captains.â€? It turned out to be a very successful and enjoyable experience, and the group (now 23 in number) has been together ever since. For nearly 19 years, we have practiced continually learning songs of the sea, performing in the U.S., Canada and Europe, creating five CDs, and, whenever possible, fulfilling our mission as stated on our website of â€œmaking sure the surrounding maritime communities understand their own nautical history.â€? This is why we have created the ShantyFest. It is an opportunity for us and other like-minded groups to highlight our nautical heritage through song and demonstration. We also strive to sing at festivals which do the same: Coupevilleâ€™s Penn Cove Water Festival, Anacortesâ€™ Waterfront Festival and Workboat Festival, Port Townsendâ€™s Wooden Boat Festival, Seattleâ€™s Folklife Festival and Ballardâ€™s Fishermenâ€™s Fall Festival. We know our mission and are proud of our 19 years of sharing that with all of you. Please, young and old, come and join us at the Greenbank Farm on Saturday, Feb. 18.

New Year began, members of Island Countyâ€™s Progressive Democratic Socialist Party were hard at work creating â€œfactsâ€? from fiction and fantasy. When fiction and fantasy are not enough then outright lies, distortion, and discrimination are the weapons of choice. During this campaign season, these Progressive Democratic Socialists will tell you that Jim Campbell is not fit to serve as Island

County Commissioner, District 2. Their spin uses age and health issues as logical reasons to dismiss Jim Campbell. However, anyone with critical thinking skills will find that Jim Campbellâ€™s age of 76, and recovery from prostate cancer are not, and should not, disqualify any candidate from serving as our elected representative. Critical thinkers note that if those two items were disqual-

ifying criteria then the following congressmen would not be in Washington, D.C. today: Daniel Inouye (D) Hawaii, 87, Frank Lautenberg (D) New Jersey, 87, Daniel Akaka (D) Hawaii, 87, Dianne Feinstein (D) California, 78, Carl Levin (D) Michigan, 77, Herbert Kohl (D) Wisconsin age, 76. And both Chris Dodd (D) Connecticut, and U.S. Rep John Barrow (D) Georgia are examples of many who were diagnosed with prostate can-

cer while in office. Meanwhile, Island County Progressive Democratic Socialists will continue to use ageism and fictional talking points against their opponents. Jim Campbell is an exceptional candidate, and is more than qualified to be our Island County commissioner in 2012. This year we need critical thinkers more than ever. Kenneth J. Wolf Oak Harbor

One physicianâ€™s gone from Whidbey, donâ€™t lose another By KATHLEEN S. ITTER

This letter is in response to your article, â€œDoctor Quits Whidbey General Hospital Over Web Furorâ€? published Jan. 11. I would like your readers to understand that the Whidbey General Reformers (WGR) website is full of misleading and inaccurate information shedding an undeserved bad light on a physician that deserves more respect. The website states that Dr. Marquart graduated from a onestar medical school. It is a wellknown fact in the medical field that star rating websites are not credible. They are full of misinformation and bad data. Some websites have ratings based on just three criteria: GPA, MCAT, and acceptance

SOUND OFF rates. This information is used to determine acceptance into medical school, not the training outcomes. Even more credible rating systems in general are not dependable because medical school missions and outcomes differ so significantly and are never taken into account. Some ratings focus on National Institutes of Health funded research, or on a schoolâ€™s reputation. These rankings favor large academic medical centers. Others, such as U.S. News and World report, rank on the production of primary care physicians. Their 2011 rankings had 11 osteopathic medical schools in the top 20.

The medical school referred to by the WGR website, was ranked 14th while the University of Washington was ranked 18th. Regardless of whether they become primary care practitioners or pursue another medical specialty, the osteopathic medical profession believes that graduates of osteopathic medical colleges are better physicians because of the strong primary care foundation they received while in medical school. A larger percentage of osteopathic physicians practice in rural and medically underserved areas. Dr. Marquartâ€™s guaranteed salary is not out of the ordinary. It is in the middle range of salaries for orthopedic surgeons. It is common

practice for hospitals to provide a guaranteed salary for a physician that is new to the area and has no established patients. The amount is usually based on the projected income to be brought in by the physician. Specialty surgeons have higher risks and overhead costs which is why their income is higher. After graduating from medical school, Dr. Marquart completed a one-year internship followed by four years of residency training in a program affiliated with Michigan State University. To become board certified, he must complete and pass three exams: written, oral and clinical, and must complete at least 200 procedures over 12 months. He has five years from completion of

his residency training to obtain certification. Dr. Marquart graduated from medical school in 2006 and completed his residency training a few months ago, which means he is not yet eligible to take the certification exams. (Michael Picco, DO, another osteopathic orthopedic surgeon hired by the hospital, is board certified â€“ another error on the ratings website.) I understand that it is too late for Dr. Marquart, but I hope this information will enable your community to appreciate and support the next physician hired. Kathleen S. Itter is executive director of the Washington Osteopathic Medical Association.

Child killerâ€™s conviction stands in landmark case By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks has had yet another success in defending a groundbreaking conviction of an Oak Harbor child murderer. The Washington State Court of Appeals sided with the prosecutor in a decision filed this week on a personal restraint petition filed by attorneys representing former Oak Harbor resident James Alexander.

The judges agreed with Banks on the crucial issue of the petition, ruling that Alexanderâ€™s trial attorney wasnâ€™t ineffective, or at least not to a degree that would necessitate a new trial. The appeals court, on the other hand, agreed with the defense argument that an assault charge should be vacated, but it was a point that Banks already conceded and wonâ€™t affect the sentence. In 2008, Alexander was convicted of homicide by abuse in

OBITUARY Annie Lyle Apperson Coulston Annie Lyle Apperson Coulston, age 89, of Oak Harbor, Washington passed on to Glory January 24, 2012. She was born on October 15, 1922 in Durham, North Carolina to William Franklin and Annie (Stoner) Apperson. She was the seventh of seven children- 3 boys and 4 girls. When her mother died, Annie was 13 years old and she went to live with her sisters. Soon after she completed high school she married too young, to Alan Hunter. They were only married for two years before she was swept off her feet by George Buckner of Bethlehem, PA and married him right away in 1944. They were married for 22 years and had 3 daughters who were her prized possessions. In 1965 Annie married Jack Coulston, the absolute love of her life. She also gained a precious stepson and stepdaughter. Annie and Jack came to love the Lord Jesus and worked together establishing a Holocaust Remembrance Committee and Resource Center in New Jersey. She and Jack were married for 23 years. Annie had a special heart for the Jewish people. She was a prayer warrior and led a Bible fellowship group and also did voluntary visitation. During her lifetime, Annie did some secretarial work for dentists and doctors. She acted in Summer Stock and Civic Theater in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey. Annie was also quite a singer and artist in her own right, as well as an avid golfer. Everyone

the death of his 21-month-old son. The case was unusual in that Alexander was originally convicted of felony murder in the 1991 killing, but the conviction was dismissed about 10 years afterward due to the state Supreme Courtâ€™s controversial Andress decision. In Andress, the justices essentially invalidated the felony murder charge in cases where a defendant killed someone when intending to commit a felony assault. The decision reversed some 300 convictions in the state, including the Alexander case. The vast majority of cases were settled by pleas to lesser offenses. But the Island County prosecutorâ€™s office

chose to charge and retry Alexander for homicide by abuse and a lesser-included offense of first-degree assault. As a result, Alexander was the only Andress-related case in the state in which the defendant was retried on a more serious charge, convicted and handed a longer sentence. In 1991, Alexander, a member of the Navy, beat his 21-month-old son to death and also beat his 3-year-old stepson, causing serious injuries that required hospitalization. He was convicted of felony murder and criminal mistreatment. The judge gave him an exceptional sentence of 25 years in prison. Fourteen years later,

Alexanderâ€™s sentence was vacated due to the state Supreme Courtâ€™s ruling in the Andress case. Prosecutors charged Alexander with the more serious charge of homicide by abuse, as well as first-degree assault, and alleged three aggravating factors. Both charges related to the abuse of the toddler; Alexanderâ€™s conviction for assaulting the older child wasnâ€™t overturned. The former chief criminal deputy prosecutor presented evidence during the trial showing Alexander had a history of abusing the boys. The jury convicted Alexander of both counts, but the judge found that the assault charge

comprised the same criminal conduct and imposed no sentence on the assault count. The judge imposed an exceptional sentence of 33 years and three months. A series of appeals followed, and Banks argued before the Supreme Court, but the conviction has been upheld. Banks said Alexander can ask the Court of Appeals to reconsider or petition the Supreme Court to review the decision. If the prosecutor ultimately prevails in the state cases, thereâ€™s still a federal case pending. Fortunately for the prosecutorâ€™s office, the state Attorney Generalâ€™s Office will handle that.

PREP ROUNDUP

Wildcats zap Chargers in finales By JIM WALLER Sports editor

Both Oak Harbor High School basketball teams wrapped up the regular season with wins over Marysville Getchell. The boys routed the host Chargers 68-37 Wednesday and the girls dumped visiting MG 45-33 Thursday. Tuesday, the Wildcat girls fell 72-36 at Glacier Peak.

#PZT XJO CJH After a sluggish start, Oak Harbor ramped up its defense and dominated the boards for the big win. The fifth-seeded Wildcats (7-9, 7-13) will play at the second-place Wesco school in the opening round of the district tournament Wednesday, Feb. 8, at 7:30 p.m. Shorecrest, Shorewood and Glacier Peak are all still in the running for the second seed. This will be Oak Harborâ€™s second straight trip to district after a 12-year gap and the first time since 1992 and 1993 it qualified in back-to-back seasons. Marysville Getchell (1-14, 1-18) took advantage of an uneven start by Oak Harbor and led 14-9 after the first quarter. The Chargers were still up 20-18 when they were stung by a 16-0 Oak Harbor run that took only two minutes and 20 seconds. The blitz helped give the â€˜Cats a 36-21 cushion at the break. The onslaught continued throughout the second half, even when coach Mike Washington Sr. played only one starter in the fourth quarter. Oak Harbor cleaned up the boards, 55-16, against

Oak Harborâ€™s record-breaking running back Josiah Miller signed a letter of intent this week to play football at Central Washington University. Miller visited the Central campus in Ellensburg last weekend and enjoyed the experience: â€œItâ€™s a small town like Oak Harbor and I really like the campus.â€? He added, â€œCentral was always one of my top schools if I didnâ€™t go to a Division I school.â€? Oak Harbor head coach Jay Turner said the D-I schools shied away from the 5-9, 145pound Miller because of his size. He added, â€œJosiah is a topnotch athlete with pretty amazing football abilities. He has the best football instincts I have ever seen.â€? Miller, one of the stateâ€™s top high school sprinters, said Central would also like him to compete for its track team. He plans to study kinesiology and physical therapy.

Clayville started five of her six seniors, and although four are normally reserves, the group, directed by point guard Erika Flores, jumped to an 8-2 lead. After Rayan Russell started the scoring, Lia Pantoleon hit a free throw and a three-ball and Tatiana Cumming scored off an offensive rebound to get the Wildcats rolling. Oak Harbor led 13-6 after the first quarter, and then, after a foul-filled second quarter, led 28-15 at the half. Senior Kaileen Burleson hit the first bucket of the second half and the Wildcats went on to lead 34-23 after three quarters. Annie Leete paced Oak Harbor with 10 points and five steals.

Garry Oak Gallery features painter Garry Oak Galleryâ€™s February featured artist is Jeanne Sears Valdez, a painter whose style ranges from abstraction to realism. â€œI cannot remember a time when drawing and painting were not my passion. My love for art was strengthened and deepened by my experiences growing up overseas where I had the opportunity to see firsthand the art and artists of the different cultures in which I lived,â€? Valdez said in a press release. While Valdez wanted to pursue art as a career, college, jobs, marriage and family forced her to put art on the back burner until retirement, Valdez said. â€œNow that I have the opportunity to follow my dream, I find art to be more of a magnet for me.

Valdez works mainly in acrylic, watercolor, oil and mixed media. She does abstract art, realistic art and everything in between. â€œI love abstraction because it comes from my imagination and allows me a certain creative license with the materials I may use in my painting. I love realism because it defines, it has boundaries

and it challenges me to bring the thought or inspiration into focus for the viewer. I choose to paint subjects that inspire me or catch my attention whether it is a form, texture, animal, shape, or flower and I use color, shadow and light to define the features I feel are important,â€? Valdez said. Valdez is a co-founder of Garry Oak Gallery and has received awards for her work in juried art shows in Washington and California. Her work is held in private and corporate collections in the United States, Canada and overseas. Garry Oak Gallery is located in downtown Oak Harbor at 830 SE Pioneer Way No. 101.

LOWER LEFT: This jewelry, fossil and other items handmade by the Gem Club will be available at the show. By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

From wearing rocks as jewelry to connecting with another era through rocks transformed into arrowheads, rocks have a way of being artistic and compelling and the Whidbey Island Gem Club wants to show the community how incredible rocks can be. The Gem Club will roll out a variety of special rocks, from shiny jewelry to elegant pendants and even wire-wrapped insects, at their 47th annual Sweetheart of Gems show, on display Saturday, Feb. 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 12 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Oak Harbor Senior Center, located at 51 Jerome St. Admission to the show is free. The members of the Gem Club, which has been around

since 1938 and partners with the Senior Center, collect rocks then cut and polish them at the shop next to the Senior Center, bringing out gleaming colors that make the rocks look like gems. The shop is filled with the roar of machines and club members hard at work transforming rocks into works of art by shaping them into ovals, hearts and rectangles. These polished stones can be wrapped with wire to make bracelets or used in belt buckles and rings. Other club members prefer knapping, which means â€œflaking rocksâ€? and involves creating arrowheads and other primitive arts, said event organizer Chip Batcheller, who wired-wrapped some of the arrows to make oneof-a-kind necklaces that will be on

display at the show. The show will also feature rock and gem dealers, door prizes, silent auctions, food and demonstrations including silver smithing, cabbing and intarsia, stone bead making, wire wrapping and knapping and primitive tools. â€œThereâ€™s going to be a lot of nice stuff at the show,â€? said Dick James, a club member. Proceeds benefit the Gem Clubâ€™s activities and their scholarship fund for local students. Anyone age 14 and up is welcome to join the Gem Club. The first lesson on wire wrapping is free and materials are provided. Wire wrapping classes are held every Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Senior Center. Membership is $15 or $20 per family annually, plus a minor shop

fee, said James, whoâ€™s been in the club for nine years. â€œI just always had an interest in rocks. Everybody does, you pick up a rock here and there,â€? James said. The best part of the club is the people, James said. The club has approximately 80 members. â€œTheyâ€™re from all walks of life,â€? James said. Sara Gray joined the club five years ago when she and her husband moved to Whidbey Island. They were looking for something to do together that would also help them meet people. â€œThis is perfect,â€? said Gray, who is now the club secretary. Club member Millie Johanson recently learned how to make Viking wire, a technique involving weaving stiff wire into flexible

jewelry. She plans to teach it to the rest of the club, which is how the club works. â€œIf I get something, I share it with them,â€? Johanson said, adding that many of the members teach themselves techniques then share those with the rest of the club. Thereâ€™s also a junior club for younger children that involves field trips and learning about rocks. â€œItâ€™s really good for kids because they love to go out exploring,â€? Gray said. For information about the club, visit the Sweetheart of Gems Show or call the Senior Center at 279-4580. â€œPeople should come; itâ€™s just the greatest!â€? Johanson said about the club.
