St. Pat’s Parade names its leaders

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

Pat and Patty McKinnon will celebrate their Irish heritage with waves and smiles as the grand marshals of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Grab some green face paint and shamrocks and celebrate at the parade at 11 a.m., Saturday, March 17 in Oak Harbor.

The parade will head west on Pioneer Way to the windmill and Blarney Stone.

“I’m very happy to be Irish. I like being Irish.

But it’s best at St. Patrick’s Day,” Patty McKinnon said.

The longtime Oak Harbor residents traveled to Ireland a few years ago.

Patty is three-quarters Irish and Pat is one-quarter Irish.

were a little surprised it was so modernized,” Patty McKinnon said.

Patty McKinnon’s maiden name is McAuliffe.

Her grandmother traveled from Ireland to the United States on the last voyage of the Lusitania before it was sunk by the Germans in World War I. At the time, her grandmother was 15 years old and on her own.

Patty McKinnon also had a grandfather who was born in Ireland.

Pat McKinnon came to Oak Harbor in 1960 as a naval flight officer for the Navy and Patty McKinnon came in 1977.

An Oak Harbor City Council meeting resembled a courtroom drama Tuesday night as council members attacked the mayor over his pick for the next fire chief, grilled staff members and implied that the selection process was a charade to appoint a pre-determined candidate.

The council ultimately tabled the confirmation hearing until after the mayor gives a presentation about all the costs associated with his decisions to fire three top officials, including longtime Fire Chief Mark Soptich, since taking office in January.

Then the meeting ended with a shocker as Ray Merrill, the mayor’s choice to run the fire department, announced that he was withdrawing his

application for the job. He was clearly frustrated with the council.

“I cannot in good conscience work for the city after what I saw this evening,” he said.

Yet Merrill may not have lost his shot to run the department. Mayor Scott Dudley asked him the following day to reconsider the decision, which Merrill said he is mulling over. Dudley apologized to the council members for the selection process, but said he was optimistic that they will ultimately realize Merrill is the right man for the job.

“The citizens of Oak Harbor will be best served to have him at the helm of the fire department,” he said.

Crooked lawyer faces charge

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A former Freeland attorney accused of defrauding his clients of millions of dollars was charged in federal court last week with a single count of felony mail fraud.

Peter Moote has been cooperating closely with federal investigators and will plead guilty to the charge, according to Michael Filipovic, assistant federal public defender.

Filipovic released a statement on behalf of his client.

“He is ashamed of his conduct, and is profoundly remorseful for the financial damage he has caused his former clients. He deeply regrets the fallout this has had on his family and friends, and the negative effect this has on the reputation of the legal profession,” the release states.

Moote was a well-known attorney on South Whidbey for years when he shocked the island legal community by resigning from the Washington State Bar

Association in lieu of disbarment in 2010. Moote was accused of settling civil cases without notifying his clients and stealing the settlement money, all the while telling his frustrated --- and in some cases, disabled --- clients that their cases were ongoing.

Detectives with the Island County Sheriff’s Office started investigating and discovered that many more of Moote’s clients had been

School board tackles pay, benefits at forum Monday

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

As a continuation of the Oak Harbor School Board’s monthly forums regarding the future of local levy funding, the board invites the public to discuss school district staff salary, wages and benefits Monday, March 12 at 6:30 p.m.

Of the district budget, 83 percent is spent on salary, wages and benefits, said Superintendent Rick Schulte.

Every school district in the state uses local levy money to supplement salary, wages and benefits paid by the state, Schulte said. However, Oak Harbor doesn’t use any local levy money; the funding comes from federal Impact Aid, which is likely to decrease next year.

This is an important topic for the community to discuss because the district runs the risk of being unable to attract and keep qualified employees if the district can’t adequately pay them, Schulte said.

The state pays certificated staff like teachers, counselors, nurses and librarians

for 180 days of work, which is one school year. However, if the district needs the staff to work longer, such as at the beginning and end of the school year or for staff development days, the local school district has to pay for that, Schulte said.

The school district pays teachers for 19 of these “Time Responsibility and Incentive” days. Every district in the state pays for TRI days using levy dollars, Schulte said.

TRI days aren’t literally full days of work; there isn’t documentation of specific hours worked, Schulte said.

“It’s just a stipend in recognition of the work they do when not at school,” Schulte said. Teachers grade papers, make phone calls and more from home.

The state provides average per employee funding for classified staff, which includes secretaries, maintenance, business office employees and others. The funding is the same per employee regardless of the job so the school district negotiates with the union to create individual wages.

The school district must pay for anything above the base

pay allocated by the state, Schulte said.

The district also provides supplementary pay for administrators because the state only issues base funding, Schulte said.

Over the last several years, the state has reduced or frozen its funding for education.

Passed in 2000, Initiative 732 required the state to pay a cost of living increase to staff every year but this is the third year the initiative will be suspended due to the decline in state revenue. Even though the voters approved the initiative, the state quit paying, a topic that may be discussed at the forum.

While Schulte said he would like to see the state pay more for salary, wages and benefits, or for the district to find another means to fund these, the focus of the forum is on hearing the community’s input.

“The underlying question is, what do we want to do about that, if anything,” Schulte said.

Share your opinion at the forum Monday at the school district building, located at 350 S. Oak Harbor St. For information, call 279-5000.

Pit Road bone search could top $2 million

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

The long awaited cost estimates for archeology on Pit Road are in and the job could top $2.2 million, according to a firm hired this week to perform the initial phase of work.

The city council approved a $30,000 contract Tuesday with Equinox Research and Consulting International, a Concrete-based cultural resource and management firm. The company will spend the next four weeks completing necessary permitting, planning and consultation for the project.

According to estimates provided by the firm, later phases of work could range between more than $2.2 million, a worst case scenario based on several unknown variables, and about $1 million.

“That’s if everything goes well,” Mayor Scott Dudley said.

The later number is about the same amount that’s been spent on SE Pioneer Way since Native American remains were discovered this past June during the street’s renovation into an eastbound one-way.

That’s the combined cost of archaeological efforts, permitting and miscellaneous expenses, as well as monetary penalties from the project contractor, Strider Construction, due to delays associated with the find.

The latest estimates from Equinox are for recovery efforts on Pit Road, which was used as a dirt dumping site for the Pioneer Way project and has also been found to contain human remains, along with four other smaller outlier sites.

For some council members, the numbers were not only frightening but a little hard to swallow.

“Choke and gulp real hard was my reaction,” Councilman Jim Campbell said.

Although he had no prior expectations about how much the project would cost, he said the numbers were “pretty scary.” He said he’s concerned about the wide range of the two estimates and that he won’t support any contract until the numbers are more refined.

“You can’t work with a $1 million spread,” Campbell said.

In a presentation to the council Tuesday, Kelly Bush, president for Equinox, said a firmer number was elusive due to a wide range of unknowns, all of which relate to conditions that may be attached to the permit.

Before work can begin, the city must acquire a permit from the state Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. The agency has the power to tack on requirements that would increase the overall project cost.

They range from increased analysis requirements and a prohibition of machines on site to possible increases in the archaeologist/tribal specialist ratio and additional data management requirements.

At the very least, the company is expecting to process up to 2,400 yards of material and perform 32 weeks of fieldwork with a crew of 20 people.

Councilman Rick Almberg, who has been particularly vocal about budgetary concerns in recent months, said Equinox’s estimates are worrisome. They will almost cer-

State officials look at the Pit Road site last year shortly after Native American remains were found on Pioneer Way. tainly push the project over budget.

“It’s a good thing we built that thing when construction costs were low,” said Almberg, in an interview Thursday.

The total amount spent so far on the $8.35 million budgeted project is unclear, but project officials estimate it’s between $7.5 and $7.8 million.

However, Almberg said during Tuesday’s council meeting and in a later inter-

view that these new expenses, combined with what’s already been spent, would probably equal what would have been spent had the city incorporated archaeological efforts from the beginning.

City officials knew a Native American site was nearby and had been advised by the state’s Historic Preservation office to take precautions long before construction began. However, those warnings were not followed and the bones were found mid-

project and only after about 100 truck loads of dirt had been hauled to Pit Road.

Had all the recommendations been followed, Almberg claimed it likely would have made the Pioneer Way renovation a two-year enterprise and jacked up the total project cost so much that it would mirror what will have to be spent today.

“I’m convinced it would

have been about the same,” Almberg said.

Others are less certain.

Dudley, who constantly fought the project as a councilman, said he believes some human remains could have been left undisturbed and those that were accidentally unearthed would have been spotted before they were trucked to another location.

The costs would not have been comparable, he said.

“No, I don’t believe that for an instant,” Dudley said.

Whatever the case, Doug Merriman, finance director for the city, said the majority of the Pit Road costs will come from utility funds. Remaining sources have yet to be determined, and an adjustment to the 2012 budget will likely be required.

If the costs are on the low end, $1 million, Merriman said he believed the utility funds have enough to cover the tab. But, if it’s on the high end, more than $2.2 million, the city council will need to look at other options.

“There would probably need to be some type of rate adjustment to make up that difference,” Merriman said.

moote CONTINUED FROM A1 swindled. The case was eventually taken over by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

A receivership has been set up in Island County Superior Court to collect and divide Moote’s assets among the victims. At least 32 people have filed claims, which total $4.5 million. Moote’s law office was sold and his South Whidbey home is currently on the market. The receiver found six people who owe Moote a percentage of their pensions, which can be distributed to victims. Yet it’s clear the victims will recover only a portion of their losses.

In fact, the case may be one of the most serious instances in state history of an attorney defrauding clients, court documents suggest.

The Washington State Bar Association has a “Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection” that was set up to help clients of dishonest attorneys. The fund received applications from 27 of Moote’s former clients and awarded more than $1 million in gifts to 25 of them. The fund doesn’t

www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com

have sufficient money to pay the full amount of the losses, so those awarded gifts will likely receive about 50 percent, according to a response by the bar association filed in the receivership case.

“The gifts made to Peter Moote’s clients constitute the largest amount ever gifted to any one attorney’s clients in the 50-year history of the fund,” the document states.

It’s unclear how so much money disappeared. Court documents show that Moote’s law firm was very successful, with as much as $10 million in gross income passing through the firm during the six years Moote was misappropriating client funds. The information filed by federal prosecutors states that Moote spent the money he unlawfully transferred from his clients for gambling, as well as typical living expenses and law firm expenses.

Moote’s wife filed a document stating she was unaware that her husband was defrauding clients.

She wrote that she separated from him “because his drinking had become progressively worse and he worked literally 18 hours a day.”

Ray Merrill “I’m a big Ray Merrill fan.”

Tuesday, five of the council members detailed a long list of grievances about how Dudley went about choosing his candidate, but they each made it clear that they have a great deal of respect for Merrill and that the concerns weren’t related to him. Merrill worked at the Oak Harbor Fire Department for 21 years before retiring to take a job as training officer at North Whidbey Fire and Rescue.

About two dozen firefighters and paramedics showed up at the meeting to support him.

The council members’ key concerns revolved around evidence that Dudley may have promised the job to Merrill before he was even elected as mayor and that the advertising and selection process was abbreviated and opaque.

The fire chief is an at-will position appointed by the mayor,

Saturday, March 10, 2012 • Whidbey News-Times

but must be confirmed by the council. There are no laws regarding how the mayor makes a selection, though the city code covers personnel issues and states hiring shall be made on the basis of merit.

Yet the city’s human resources director outlined a process of advertising and interviews she said was customary.

Councilman Rick Almberg led the charge and seemed to channel his inner Perry Mason as he interrogated Human Resources Director Jessica Neill Hoyson. Under questioning, Neill Hoyson explained that she met with Merrill, at the mayor’s request, on Jan. 25 to discuss how he would deal with the retirement system if he were to return to the fire department.

Neill Hoyson claimed Merrill said he had met with the mayor about the job back in August. Neill Hoyson admitted she was concerned that Merrill seemed to think he had been promised the job.

She was so concerned, in fact, that she met with the mayor about the issue.

Neill Hoyson said she made it clear to Merrill that the selection was a competitive process and that he was not guaranteed the job. She said Dudley assured her that he hadn’t promised anyone the job, but had encouraged Merrill to apply.

At the end of the meeting Tuesday, Merrill said he had

Councilman Danny Paggao made it clear that he supports hiring Merrill, but he questioned why the interviews weren’t open to the public.

Most of the council members didn’t even know the process was taking place. Neill Hoyson claimed it is the custom to interview candidates in closeddoor meetings. The process, however, was open to the public the last time a mayor made an appointment. The panels that interviewed police chief candidates four years ago were open and transparent.

Councilmen Bob Severns and Joel Servatius also raised concerns about the fairness of the process. Servatius, the newest councilmen, laid out the timeline and said there’s “a cloud of suspicion and doubt hanging over the process.”

Obviously irritated, Councilman Jim Campbell was the only one on the council to come to the mayor’s defense. He responded that there’s no cloud of suspicion and that the selection process was done within guidelines.

“This is so political it stinks,” he said in reference to the complaints of other council members. His comment earned applause from the firefighters and others in the audience.

At one point, Almberg said he would support giving the position to Able or advertising again. But then Severns made a motion to table the issue until after the mayor makes a presentation about all the costs associated with personnel changes. The motion passed, with only Campbell voting in opposition.

After the meeting, Dudley said he will talk to Severns to clarify what information he wants to see. The mayor said he hopes to make the presentation, and have Merrill confirmed, at the next meeting on March 20.

not, in fact, met with the mayor in August, but that Lt. Tim Sterkel with the Oak Harbor Police --- a Dudley supporter --- had talked to him about the position at the National Night Out event. Dudley was in South Africa at the time.

Merrill did meet with Dudley in December to discuss the position; both men say no promises were made.

Almberg said the process was tainted and smacked of influence peddling.

“It looks like the process was possibly a sham,” he said. “. . . Mr. Merrill may be a victim of a tainted process.”

Other council members voiced concerns about the quickness of the selection process. Councilwoman Beth Munns said she was shocked that the position was advertised for only two weeks, which was the minimum time recommended by the human resources director. She was on the three-member board that recommended the top two candidates --- Merrill and retired Mount Vernon fire chief Steve Able --- to the mayor. Able was the top recommendation, but Munns wasn’t told Merrill was selected until a newspaper reporter called her.

Likewise, Councilwoman Tara Hizon complained that she was provided with so little information about Merrill; she noted that the agenda packet has 70 pages about HVAC and vending machines, but only a few sentences about Merrill.

In later comments, she said she was concerned that the city would open itself to liability since an argument could be made that Merrill was promised a position long ago.

“It makes me a little sick to my stomach that this didn’t go as smoothly as I had hoped it would,” she said, explaining she went into the meeting supporting Merrill.

Drug court graduate goes to prison obituaries

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 32-year-old man arrested when Oak Harbor police stormed the home of suspected methamphetamine dealers last October was sent to prison this week.

Brent Severns pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court to one count of maintaining premises for using controlled substance.

Under a plea bargain, both the prosecution and defense recommended a sentence of one year and two months in prison. Judge Alan Hancock agreed and imposed the sentence.

Hancock said he was very disappointed when Severns was arrested since he had completed drug court, which is a rigorous court-supervised program in which non-violent defen-

dants go through intensive treatment for addiction problems. Hancock noted that Severns “wasn’t able to overcome the demon of addiction,” but he encouraged him to seek treatment in prison.

Severns seemed to agree.

“I’m going to use this time as wisely as I can and I’m going to let my actions speak for themselves,” he said.

Severns’ father, Oak Harbor City Councilman Bob Severns, spoke on his son’s behalf. He said he was concerned about an unresolved DUI case in Snohomish County, which may make his son ineligible for services when he gets out of prison. Hancock, however, said he had no control over what happens in other courts.

The Oak Harbor police arrested Severns and another man, Damien Hernandez, after serving a search war-

rant at the SW 19th Court residence on Oct. 14. The police had received numerous complaints for about two years from neighbors about the heavy foot and vehicle traffic at the condominium.

“In the past year, the complaints became more frequent and the community of SW 19th Court were becoming extremely frustrated with the amount of traffic and how nothing could be done about it,” Detective Carl Seim wrote in his report about the case.

Seim was finally able to obtain a search warrant by working with an informant and conducting “controlled buys” of meth from Severns. The police seized 4.43 grams of meth in the top drawer of Severns’ desk.

Hernandez was also charged. He pleaded guilty in December and was sentenced to prison.

Navy holds public information sessions First of series begins Tuesday in Oak Harbor The first in a series of public open house information sessions hosted by the U.S. Navy will be held Tuesday in Oak Harbor.

The Navy is inviting the public to comment on the Northwest Training and Testing (NWTT) on Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement.

The Navy proposes to adjust training and testing activities to support current and planned requirements and to accommodate changing mission requirements associated with force structure changes.

The open house information sessions provide a forum for the public to obtain information about the proposed action and to provide comments on factors to be considered in the EIS/OEIS. Certain Navy exercises have come under some criticism from environmentalists, particularly its use of under-

water sonar thought to injure porpoises and whales under certain circumstance.

The information session will be held from 5 to 8 p.m.

Tuesday in the board room of the Oak Harbor School District Administrative Services Center.

No formal presentation or oral comment session is scheduled, but Navy representatives will be available to discuss the project and the proposed action.

Written comments will also be welcomed and must be postmarked by April 27. They can be mailed to

IN OUR OPINION

A good choice, a poor process Ray Merrill is an excellent choice for Oak Harbor’s next fire chief. Too bad he got burned Tuesday night as city council members complained with justification over how Merrill came to be Mayor Scott Dudley’s recommended choice for the position.

A small panel appointed by Dudley had interviewed several candidates after Dudley fired the former chief at the start of his administration. Merrill was a 21-year veteran of the OHFD before retiring and then taking a training job with the rural North Whidbey Fire and Rescue.

The interview panel, including the city’s human resources director and Councilwoman Beth Munns, chose two finalists among only a handful who applied during the hurried process to replace Chief Mark Soptich, whose last day on the job was March 6.

Mayor Dudley was within his rights to pick Merrill as his choice for the next chief, even though the panel leaned toward Steve Able, a retired Mount Vernon fire chief. But he should have been more public in the process, particularly since doing things openly was one of his key campaign themes. And he definitely should have been more open with the city council, whose approval was needed to put Merrill in the captain’s chair.

Both finalists should have been introduced to the council and subjected to questions from the council members and the public. In the past, potential police chiefs have been paraded before the public prior to the mayor making a final recommendation.

After fully vetting both candidates in public, Mayor Dudley should then have made his choice known to the city council. It would have taken longer, but there’s time. Oak Harbor’s professional firefighters can carry on without a chief indefinitely. The council members would likely would have welcomed Merrill back with open arms if they had felt more involved in the process.

Tuesday’s meeting ended with the proposal tabled.

Hopefully, Ray Merrill takes none of this personally, keeps his name in contention, and waits patiently while the mayor belatedly covers his bases. The process may not have to begin anew, but the council and public should get a chance to meet and question the proposed new chief and perhaps the other finalist.

After that, Ray Merrill should be hired. There’s not a better person for the job in terms of professionalism, public and departmental respect and experience. It’s not his fault that Mayor Dudley forgot about his commitment to open government.

Letters to the editor How to deal with strangers During this season, I receive a lot of phone calls from numbers that are marked private, restricted, 800, or in some way do not let the person receiving the call know who is calling.

This is not bad as long as the person calling clearly identifies themselves at the beginning of the conversation. Recently, I received one of these calls and the caller was extremely soft spoken and difficult for me to understand who had called. They wanted me to give them names of people. I hope I was not rude to them when I could not clearly understand who they were or what they wanted.

Seniors or any other citizen, I want to say please be

aware of who has called to contact you. Don not hesitate to ask them to repeat their name and contact information. If it is a valid phone call from a valid person or agency then they will be more than glad to tell you again who they are and they will be glad to speak up at a volume that can be easily understood.

This is especially important to people like myself. If you call someone please be sure they have clearly understood who you are, what you are selling or what they need from you.

Seniors, never give information about whether you live alone, your bank accounts or how many cats or dogs you have in your home. If someone knocks on your door, please have a way to verify who the person is before you open the door and allow them to

If in doubt as to who a person is, what they want, where they are calling from or how they got to your front door, please error on the side of safety to yourself. If the person has a valid reason for contacting you, they will call you back and they will identify themselves to be sure you know who they are, what they need and how to contact them or the agency they work for.

Safety is very important to any person but especially to a senior who might be living alone, to a female who might be living alone or with small children. Keep yourself and your family safe first! If a person does not identify themself then be rude if you feel it to be necessary, but be sure you feel secure before you give out any information about

yourself, your family or your home.

No doubt about EMS bond

The time running up to an election can frustrating.

Does the candidate I support have the same views today that she had last week? If I vote no on an initiative am I really voting yes for an issue? It all taxes the mind.

And speaking of taxes there is one issue on the primary ballot where I have no doubt of my support. I will be voting yes for the Emergency Medical Services, EMS, bond. I’m sure there will be much discussion on the bond during the months leading to the election and I encourage everyone to support this measure.

Emersons’ wetland issue muddied by study dispute

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The long-simmering issue of whether there’s a wetland on Camano Island property owned by Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson and her husband remains unresolved, even after the couple hired a second hydrogeologist to complete another study.

The Emersons’ attorney, Justin Park of Bellevue, sent Island County Planning Director Bob Pederson the second wetland study in January, which backs up the previous wetland report which concluded there’s no wetland or stream on the Emersons’ property. Parks demanded that the county dismiss the $37,000 in fines that were levied against the Emersons for violations of the county building code, critical areas ordinances and zoning ordinance.

But once again, the county’s wetland specialist and Department of Ecology staff identified what they believe are flaws in the study and concluded that the issue is still not settled. Pederson sent the Emersons a letter last week that lays out their options at this point. He wrote that they can allow Department of Ecology scientists or the county’s critical areas planner onto the property to make a final determination.

Or, he wrote, the Emersons could elect to have yet another scientist do a peer review or site investigation. But this time, Pederson wrote that the county would have to agree on the particular scientist.

In an interview, Emerson said she’s disappointed by the county’s response and isn’t sure how she and her husband will reply. She said it’s baffling that the Department of Ecology won’t accept the work of two state-licensed scientists. She claims that the county planning department is abusing its authority and she continually hears from

“We tried to expose this,” she said. “We were seeing this rampant abuse by the county.”

County, DOE not trusted Emerson said she doesn’t trust the county or Department of Ecology staff to be fair and accurate if she would let them onto her property to make a wetland determination. She previously invited Ecology to the property, but cancelled at the last minute on advice from her attorney.

“They’re just going to image a wetland where they want to make it and a buffer where ever they feel like it,” she said.

Likewise, Ken Emerson has a long list of questions for the county about the fairness and legality of the process.

“What section of Island County Code gives the Planning Director or the Planning Department the authority to ‘order’ a wetland report from a property owner? At the property owners’ expense?” he wrote in an email.

Pederson said that the Emersons’ fines are a separate issue that will be settled once all the other issues are reconciled. A judge has already ruled that the fines are valid. Most of the penalties are a result of a $500-aday fine for violation of the county’s critical areas ordinance. The Emersons were ordered to complete a wetland study within 30 days, but they responded with a lawsuit against the county, county employees and a former commissioner.

The entire saga began in the fall of 2010, before Emerson was elected as commissioner.

A neighbor complained that the Emersons were building a sunroom without a permit, but county inspectors found dening and does some professional catering.

The Emersons filed a lawsuit over the issue, but lost.

The couple hired Steven Neugebauer of the Duvallbased SNR Company to do a wetland analysis and submitted the report last summer, more than nine months after being ordered to do so.

County and state scientists, however, reviewed the report and concluded it was flawed.

County omitted in review choice After rejecting it, Pederson offered the Emersons the option of having an independent peer review. He said in an interview this week that he assumed the Emersons would communicate with him to find an expert they could agree on. But instead, the Emersons hired Ed Kilduff, a hydrogeologist and geologist from San Juan County who works for Neugebauer as a contractor. He’s not exactly an independent peer, but neither county nor state officials faulted the report on that point.

Coincidentally, Kilduff worked for SNR Company in a high-profile case in San Juan County. A property owner hired a specialist to determine if there was a wetland on his property; the specialist concluded there were wetlands. The property owner didn’t like the answer, so he had SNR Company do a second report.

Kilduff, working as an SNR contractor, concluded there were no wetlands on the property. San Juan County asked the Department of Ecology to review the report, according to the Journal of the San Juans.

Emerson said Kilduff came highly recommended and has an outstanding resume.

Kelly Emerson Wetland staff members from the Department of Ecology noted in their report that the only legal and technical issue at hand is whether the Kilduff report followed the Army Corps of Engineers wetland delineation manual and regional supplement, as required by state law. On that score, the staff found the report lacking.

“The site-specific information required in the delineation manual to make a wetland determination is not provided in either the SNR report or in Mr. Kilduff’s letter to the Emersons,” the Department of Ecology review letter states. The letter gives several examples of omissions.

Both studies questioned Jamie Hartley, the county’s critical areas planner, also analyzed the wetland reports and found a number of “troubling” discrepancies between the SNR and Kilduff reports which he states can’t be explained by differences in seasons. He also questioned Kilduff’s understanding of the science. He questioned, for example, Kilduff’s assertion that the wetland area is too steep to permit standing water.

“It is a popular misconception that an area cannot be a wetland if it does not have standing water during part

of the year,” Hartley wrote.

“While many wetlands do have standing water at some time of the year, the 1997 Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual does not require than an area ever be inundated.

In addition, many wetlands in Western Washington occur partially or wholly on slopes.”

Steve Erickson of Whidbey Environmental Action Network studied Kilduff’s report and found what he believes are numerous problems.

“As with the Neugebauer report,” he wrote, “the author seems to claim that the standard interpretations used by the relevant regulatory agencies are wrong and that the standard methodology used by almost all competent experienced wetland professionals is also wrong. In short, Kilduff’s memo does not correct the deficiencies, errors, and problems with the Neugebauer report.”

In his report, Kilduff echoes Neugebauer’s assertion that only licensed hydrogeologists are authorized, under state law, to perform the kind of wetland identification study that was required to determine if there’s a critical area on the Emerson property.

That would mean the wetland scientists and biologists at the Department of Ecology and the county --- as well as the majority of consultants hired to do wetland studies --- aren’t qualified to make such determinations.

In an interview, Kilduff claims that there’s a rift between geologists and biologists over the science of determining or identifying wetlands. He said it started out of a plant-based science, but has evolved into geology and hydrogeology.

“There’s a lot of confusion. The field is shifting in its dynamics,” he said. “I do think it’s becoming more accurate over time.”

Kilduff said the SNR study

involved hydrogeomorphology, which wetland scientists at the county and state aren’t qualified to interpret.

On the other hand, the Department of Ecology strongly disagrees with Kilduff on this point. Gordon White, the manager of the Ecology’s Shorelands and Environmental Assistance Program, discussed the issue in a blog post.

“Identifying and delineating a wetland relies on three interrelated areas of science: botany, soils and hydrology,” he wrote. “Understanding geology (specifically hydrogeology) is one piece of the puzzle, but does not replace knowledge of wetland vegetation or wetland soils. In 2009, the state Geologist Licensing Board determined that wetland delineation is not the practice of geology.”

Kilduff, however, countered that the SNR report involved a hydrogeomorphic analysis related to wetland identification, not delineation. He also said he’s upset with the Geologist Licensing Board over some of its decisions. He pointed out that the National Association of Boards of Geology lists of “geological tasks” includes soils and hydrology.

Doug Kelly, Island County former and newly hired hydrogeologist, said he was surprised that any hydrogeologists or geologists are even involved in wetland studies.

His expertise is in groundwater, but he said other hydrogeologists may have different skill sets.

The Department of Ecology’s review of Kilduff’s study concludes that his “inaccurate claims” about who’s qualified to do wetland studies has no bearing on the facts in the case.

“It is unfair to the Emersons to be embroiled in a dispute between Mr. Kilduff and the Geology Review Board,” the Ecology review states.

Page named finalist at Kitsap With a chance to move closer to family, the head of Coupeville School District is seeking a position in Kitsap County.

Superintendent Patty Page was recently named one of three finalists for the top post of the North Kitsap School District. She said she applied for the position because she’ll be able to look after her mom.

The position would also be a homecoming for Page. She graduated from North Kitsap

High School in 1972.

She stressed that she wasn’t looking for a new position when the opportunity arose and she has been happy working in Coupeville.

“I love being here,” Page said. “I’ve always thought I’d end my career here.”

The North Kitsap School District dwarfs the Coupeville School District. Coupeville has 970 students and a $10 million budget and North Kitsap has

6,700 students and a $63 million budget and covers schools in Poulsbo, Kingston, Hansville, Indianola and Suquamish.

As one of the three finalists, she met several residents of the North Kitsap area earlier in the week. In addition to Page, David Gray, assistant superintendent for the Battleground School District, and Bob Kuehl, assistant superintendent of the Tumwater School District, are vying for the position.

God’s promises transcend all FAITHFUL LIVING

By Joan Bay Klope

While downloading some favorite movies onto my husband’s iPad, I came across “Field of Dreams.”

Released in 1989, it stars Kevin Costner as Ray Kinsella, a restless and regret-filled Iowa farmer. He bulldozes his prime crop of corn, builds a lighted baseball field and risks bankruptcy when he decides he can no longer ignore a mysterious voice out in the corn that whispers, “If you build it, he will come.”

My favorite scenes change but I am partial to the scene in which Ray tries to persuade an elderly Doc Graham to come visit his Iowa ball field. Doc reminisces about his one and only time at bat as an aspiring pro player, and how he lived with the disappointment of being cut from the team.

“We just don’t recognize the most significant events of our lives while they’re happening,” Doc comments, his voice trailing off into thought when he realizes that he might never have become a treasured family physician had he not experienced that significant disappointment in his youth.

Frustrated by such gentle acceptance, Ray’s voice fills with intensity as he asks Doc, “But don’t you think it’s a tragedy to get that close to your dream and not be able to touch it?”

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do your dreams seem out of reach? I recently spoke with someone facing bankruptcy from overwhelming medical debt who worries he will never be able to own a home and I thought of Doc Graham. Disappointment. Worry.

Fear. How do we move past these feelings --- to regroup and function and maybe even prosper --- when our original plans have been squashed?

I hammered God with a volley of tough questions. Then came one of those moments Doc talks about: a surprising moment of insight with the potential to strengthen and empower when there is nothing of the sort I can personally provide. It came as I recalled a verse I long ago underlined in my Bible in the book of Jeremiah. It is one of God’s most magnificent promises: “I’ll show up and take care of you as I promised. I know what I’m doing.

I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.”

God’s promises transcend everything— including the pain, hardship and suffering that is assuredly part of a lifetime of experiences.

When we take these promises, claiming them as our own and building them into the lives, God’s return gift is reason and justification, comfort and clarity in all we experience.

Oh, we’ll struggle. We will suffer to varying degrees. But God’s dependable promise of a future filled with hope and spiritual prosperity allows us to step away from terror and onto a field of comfort, surrounded above by a blue sky to be filled with dreams.

Pictures are worth 100 years: ‘Coupeville’ authors present history, mystery and photos

Rebecca Olson/Whidbey News-Times

Judy Lynn, Kay Foss and Rick Castellano celebrate their book “Coupeville,” a photographic history of the town.

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

The photo on the front cover of Judy Lynn’s and Kay Foss’ photographic history book titled “Coupeville” says it all: Children pretending to be pirates on Ebey’s Prairie years ago, representing the maritime nature of Coupeville and one of its most historical places.

The book was published March 1 by Arcadia Publishing. One hundred years of Coupeville history came together in the book, with 227 photos from the Island County Historical Society and Museum, Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, private collections and the University of Washington.

“The hardest part was winnowing down the pictures,” Lynn said. She scanned 400 photos, some of which solved mysteries for her.

The authors will share photographs that weren’t included in the book, as well as reveal these newly solved mysteries at a presentation at the

Coupeville Library Tuesday, March 13, at 2 p.m.

Books will be available for purchase and the authors will sign and personalize them.

Proceeds benefit the Island County Historical Museum.

The project started a year and a half ago when Arcadia Publishing contacted Rick Castellano, executive director of the Island County Historical Museum, to find someone willing to put together a book about Coupeville for their “Images of America” series.

“So he asked me if I would take it on and I said yes,” Lynn said. She was already immersed in Coupeville history and was compiling more than 200 oral histories of Front Street, which had given her access to photos from private collections “She brought to life a lot of history that’s been hiding in people’s drawers,” Castellano said.

Foss joined in later after seeing a draft of the book.

“I said, ‘help,’” Lynn said.

“And suddenly, I was in it,” Foss added. She had taught English, journalism and history in Coupeville for 25 years.

That was a great decision, Foss said. Through the project, she learned the history of the place she’s lived for 30 years.

Lynn had no trouble pointing out her favorite photo, a 1942 photo of the last year of the original Coupeville Water Festival.

“The building featured in the back solved a mystery for me that I’d been looking into for a very long time,” Lynn said. It helped her trace the history of Toby’s Tavern to the buildings in that location before they burned in 1944.

Foss enjoyed a photo of a horse and buggy traveling the extension of Front Street --- the same location people can walk today.

“Same view, same street,” Castellano said, adding that his favorite photos were the old farming and Water Festival pictures.

The authors even spoke

with people who were teenagers in the photographs and recorded their stories.

“The stories, I think, bring it alive,” Lynn said.

The trio learned unexpected bits of history, including the discrimination against the Chinese.

“The more we talk about and share history, the more we’re going to learn,” Castellano said.

“I think, too, the book has kind of brought an awareness, not just in the community but outside as well,” Castellano said, adding that the next book in the series will be about Langley history.

Last weekend, the authors sold nearly 100 books at the Penn Cove Mussel Festival and they are available to do more presentations for groups.

Signed books are available for purchase at the museum, or get a personalized copy at the Coupeville Library during their presentation Tuesday.

Oak Harbor DECA students Mike Washington, Ben Muyres and Mitchell Jackson qualified early for the NATIONAL DECA COMPETITION this year by taking first place in an online business simulation. They

spent 30 days competing against more than 70 teams in a simulation called Virtual Business Sports. The win earned them a trip to compete with the best in the nation during the national convention in Salt Lake City.

Last year, Washington and Muyres were on a team that finished first in the nation.

The honor roll for WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY includes students in the top 10 percent of their class.

Page A11

From Oak Harbor, Rachel Eileen Dailey made the honor roll with a 4.0 GPA. These Oak Harbor students earned their bachelor’s degrees from WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY in fall 2011: Terri Ann Jenkins, Lyndon George Mazon, Eric Luis Vargas and Jessica Marie Walker.

EMILY BAIN, a senior at Oak Harbor High School, was one of over

240 outstanding high school students, representing 17 states, to participate in a Northwestern College Scholarship Day.

Northwestern College faculty, staff and students evaluated them on the basis of their potential for academic success, leadership and effective Christian service.

The participating students have already qualified

for Northwestern College honor scholarships, based on ACT score and class rank or grade point average, and were competing for additional funding to their Presidential or Collegiate scholarships. The top eight Presidential Scholarship winners will be designated Norman Vincent Peale Scholars and receive $72,000 over four years of study at Northwestern.

Sp rts spring

preview

Whidbey prep athletes ready to spring into action

By JIM WALLER Sports editor

The promise of spring stretches to the fields, courts and tracks of local highschools each year, and here’s a rundown on this season’s Oak Harbor and Coupeville squads as they begin their drive to hopeful championships.

OHHS baseball Juniors to fill gaps left by talented ‘11 class Oak Harbor baseball coach Tyson VanDam will look primarily to his junior class to fill the huge void left by the

graduation of last year’s talented senior class.

Eight regulars departed with the class of 2011 and four of those were three-year starters.

Compounding the loss, the lone returning full-time starter, Gabe Clark, is out for the year with an elbow injury, and a key reserve from last year’s team decided not to play this spring; both were two-year lettermen. Clark was the starting shortstop and one of the club’s top pitchers.

As a result of the losses, VanDam said, “There will be a lot of teaching going on this spring.”

Four lettermen do return:

seniors catcher Sam Glavick and pitcher/first baseman Zach Zimmer and juniors catcher/third baseman Austyn Walker and pitcher/ third baseman Jack Richter.

Glavick and Richter are the only two with more than 14 plate appearances in 2011.

Glavick, a two-year letterman, hit .340 in 53 at bats, and Richter hit .190 but posted a .496 on-base-average with the help of 10 walks.

Richter is also the only pitcher to return who threw more than one varsity inning.

He finished with a 5.88 ERA in eight innings of work.

Key newcomers, according to VanDam, are juniors Andrew Snavely, Grant Schroeder, David Kusnick and Mike Maletto.

Though inexperienced, this year’s team has promise. The group helped Oak Harbor place third in the state Legion A tournament last summer.

VanDam said the loss of 10 key players will “be tough to deal with on the mound and at the plate, but I really do expect to finish in the top half of the league and make our second consecutive district tournament.”

He added, “We…hope to have the junior class step it up this year.”

Oak Harbor, which was 14-7-1 last year, begins the season Saturday, March 10, when its hosts a jamboree with Stanwood and Lakewood at 10 a.m.

CHS baseball Wolves young again, but not inexperienced

Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times

Jack Richter returns as Oak Harbor’s most experienced pitcher.

Last year the Coupeville High School baseball team was young and inexperienced. This year, the team is only young.

Coach Willie Smith returns

get dramatically better by the end of the season. Our sophomores will be greatly improved and will be able to help our freshmen make the adjustments that they had to learn on the fly last year.”

Smith doesn’t see their youth as a problem because his team is experienced. He added, “They have committed to our team goals and have worked hard in the weight room in the off-season to get prepared for this season.”

The Wolves had only two seniors last year, but those two handled most of the pitching duties. Smith said, “We have some live arms and strong work ethics so I feel that we will get there sooner rather than later.”

Coupeville, which was 2-16 last year, starts the season with three home nonleague games. Saturday, March 10, it meets Concrete at 11 and Adna at 3 p.m., and Monday, March 12, faces Port Townsend at 3:30 p.m.

OHHS tennis Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times

Senior Brandt Bodamer is one of the few upperclassmen on this year’s Coupeville baseball team. nine lettermen but only two, pitcher Brandt Bodamer and outfielder Zach McCormick, are seniors.

Also back are juniors infielder Drew Chan and outfielder Paul Schmakeit and sophomores pitcher/infielder Ben Etzell, catcher/pitcher Jake Tumblin, outfielder/ pitcher Wade Schaef, outfielder Kurtis Smith, infielder Morgan Payne and first baseman Brian Norris.

Payne hit .333 last year and Chan recorded a .606 on-base-average, both tops on the team. Tumblin posted the second best OBA (.467), led

the team in walks (10) and was second in stolen bases (eight).

Etzell, who missed half of last year with an injury, hit .292 and had a 2.21 ERA in 13 innings.

Coach Smith said freshmen pitcher/outfielder Korbin Korzan and infielders Josh Bayne and Kyle Bodamer “could end up getting some significant time as well.”

“Last year was a huge learning curve for our sophomores,” Smith said. “Our goal is to win more games, but more importantly, be competitive every game and

Huge turnout helps fill spots for Wildcats Filling the slots on the tennis team shouldn’t be a problem for Oak Harbor coach Horace Mells this spring -- 64 girls turned out.

How well those girls will do once competition starts is another matter.

Mells said, “We lost 10 varsity players from last season and most of the other schools are returning most of theirs.

The competition is going to be tough, but we are looking forward to the challenge.”

He added, “Our goals are to finish the season in the top five and advance one singles player and/or doubles team to districts.”

Seven letter winners return, and four, according to Mells, will hold the singles slots: seniors Alexa Holmly, Shannon Neilon, Jennifer Fremd and Chelsey McKenzie.

The other three, seniors Molly Van Dam and Rachelle Muzones and junior McKenzie Schneider, will compete in doubles, Mells said.

Key newcomers include Spanish exchange student Letice Salvador; seniors Joyce Abides and Ashley Haynes; juniors Kyla McKinney, Molly Murdock, Brittany Rigby, Jenny Landingin and Stephanie Milliron; and sophomore Faith Franssen.

Mells sees singles, manned by experienced players, as the team’s strength. He said, “Our weakness is in doubles at the beginning of the season as players learn the fundamentals and gain matchplay experience.”

The Wildcats, 8-7 in 2011, jump right into league action with Mountlake Terrace at home 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 13.

Alexa Holmly will play first singles for Oak Harbor. year’s co-MVP winners, Emily Burchfield and Lexi Blanchette, and two-time district doubles champion Amanda d’Almeida.

Burchfield and Blanchette finished 2-3 in district singles in 2011, but this year coach Ken Stange is going to pair Blanchette with d’Almeida in doubles. D’Almeida’s twoyear partner transferred.

Letter winners Grayson Akins, Holly Craggs and Rachael Parker also return

and figure to provide “some big wins in doubles,” according to Stange.

Adding depth are sophomores Allie Hanigan and Makenna Martyn. Hanigan played last year in Kelso, and Martyn is “bringing her volleyball skills to the (tennis) court,” Stange said.

Stange outlined three goals for this year’s team: defeat Friday Harbor to win the league title; take a doubles team, and possibly a singles player, to state; and ensure each individual finds fun and improvement in her game.

Stange said, “We lost quite a few players to graduation and/or moving, but we have some new players that will hopefully give us depth this season. We are pretty sure at No. 1 singles and doubles but untested in other areas.”

He added that this is “nothing new” and that the “players will rise to the occasion.”

Coupeville begins the season on the road Friday, March 16, at 3:30 p.m. with its first of three matches with Friday Harbor to determine the champion of their twoteam league.

Josiah Miller, who placed fifth in the 200 meters, sixth in the triple jump and qualified for the 100 at last spring’s state meet.

Also returning are Carlton Johnson, Connor Meyer and Chris Opdyke who teamed with Miller to qualify for state in the 4x400 relay.

Others veterans are Josh Schrum (800), James Harrison (pole vault), Cody Hernkind (sprints, relays, jumps), Josh McVey (pole vault), David Payne (hurdles), Matt Reith (distance), Cody Sanders (hurdles), Zach Wallace (javelin), Noel Cheeseboro (sprints), Jayden Davilla (sprints, jumps), Jeremy Foster (shot put), Chris Hailer (jumps), Allen Hills (jumps), Jon Lanningham (throws), Sam Schultz (jumps), Dakota Sinchak (javelin, jumps, sprints), Clayton Richardson (distance), Sheyenne Sams (sprints) and Keon Crumpton (throws).

Coach Jay Turner said key newcomers are seniors Peter Franssen (sprints, jumps, relays) and Tucker Lundstrom (sprints, jumps, throws) and freshmen Jackson Constant (throws), Dejon Devroe (sprints, jumps, relays) and John Rodeheffer (distance).

The Wildcats’ strength, according to Turner, will be their depth with a record 90 athletes turning out; the previous high was 70.

“Our main weakness,” Turner said, “is that we don’t have a lot of returning long jumpers.”

He added, “We are very excited for this year with all of the new faces. The kids are excited and working hard.

Our No. 1 goal in track is for improvement. Every week we are trying to get better and to set PRs. With four home meets (including the district meet) it should be an exciting year for Oak Harbor track.”

On the girls side, Christina

Raeanna Wynne will be one of the top hurdlers in the Western Conference this spring.

Alexander, Maura McKole and Christina Wickers qualified for state in 2011 as members of relay teams.

Five others who placed at the league meet also return: Raeanna Wynne (300 hurdles), Dominique Jackson (discus), Jember Jansen (400), Hannah Bressler (800) and Alex Laiblin (3,200).

Other returning letter winners are Elizabeth Adkins, Chylah Bass, Nikki Blanchard, Lizzy Chase, Rachel Crowther, Heather Dale, Megan Duhrkopf, Ashley Everett, Kayleigh Harper, Olivia Hunt, Mackenzie Jackson, Kelsey Johnson, Carlie Kenny and Taylor VonGrey.

Promising newcomers, according to coach Eric Peterson, are Jessica Hollins (sprints), Jonalynn Horn (distance) and Hayley Lundstrom (distance).

Peterson said, “As a team we do not have a lot of depth in some of the events, but we are returning a large number

He added, “This year, with so many returners, our goal is to build on last year’s performance. We are hoping to improve in every event with personal bests. Our goals are to improve and have fun competing.”

CHS track Pelroy, Tisa-McPhee lead way for Wolves Two record-setting athletes are gone but two state qualifiers return to help fill in the hole for the Coupeville track team.

Tyler King (distances) and Hunter Hammer (weights) graduated with the class of 2011, but coach Randy King welcomes back two of the Cascade Conference’s top athletes at their events, senior Mitch Pelroy and junior Madison Tisa-McPhee.

Pelroy, a sprinter, has qualified twice for the state meet and placed ninth in the 400 last spring after winning the district title in the event.

Tisa-McPhee finished eighth in the 100 hurdles in the state finals in 2011 and is the defending league champion.

Coach King said the two are “definitely leaders on our team and help set the tone of what is expected by our athletes.”

Other returning letter winners include Jai’Lysa Hoskins, Anna Bailey, Grace LaPoint, Megan Oakes and Nicole Becker.

Hoskins is one of the league’s best female sprinters; and she, Tisa-Madison, Bailey and LaPoint finished third in the league 4x200 relay last spring.

On the boys side, King said, “Larry Hurlburt is our most experienced distance runner and has come in in good condition.”

Key newcomers, according to King, are multi-event competitor Austin Nichols and freshman sprinter Marissa Etzell.

King added, “Much of the offensive line from the football team is out this year, and leading in the throws is sophomore Nick Streubel.”

King, who is assisted by Tom Fournier, welcomed 34 athletes this year. He said, “Practices are going great and we look forward to our season. We are optimistic about our girls relay teams pushing towards a state appearance and an overall deeper team on both the girls and boys squads.”

The Wolves go to Oak Harbor at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, March 15, for the Whidbey Jamboree.

OHHS fastpitch Hunt, Saar return to circle for Wildcats The Oak Harbor fastpitch rotation will feature Emilytimes-two.

The Wildcats return six letter winners from last spring, and two are the mainstays of the 2011 pitching corps, Emily Hunt and Emily Saar.

They will be tossing to catcher Shawna Steele, a twoyear starter and all-Wesco honorable mention selection.

Others returnees are Samm Zimmerman (utility/pitcher), Morgan Young (shortstop/outfield) and Hannah Salmons (catcher/ utility).

Two other players, Kelsey Rankin (first base) and Marissa Fakkema (utility) who sat out last year, also return to give the team added experience and depth.

Coach Jess Weikle said, “Our outlook for the season is hopeful. The girls share a steadfast attitude and are improving and working hard daily. Our goals are to continuously improve our skills and team unity to compete in our league. Each practice our

Weikle said her team’s strengths are “positive attitude, dedication to improvement, solid returners and effective leadership from team captain Emily Hunt and other returning athletes.”

are senior pitcher/second baseman Alexis Trumbull and junior catcher/first baseman Bessie Walstad.

Trumbull, like Roberts, was

a Cascade Conference honorable mention choice and was the team’s MVP in 2011.

The other letter winners are sophomores Breeanna Messner (utility), Haley Sherman (outfield), Chevy Reyes (shortstop/third base) and Sydney Aparicio (outfield).

Three other members of last year’s team, junior Danielle Rickard and sophomores McKenzie Kooch and Julia Felici, also return.

In addition to the seven regulars returning from last year, two former letter winners are back after a year’s absence, senior outfielder Taya Boonstra and junior pitcher/shortstop Maria Rockwell.

Heading the newcomers, according to co-coach David King, are freshmen first baseman/third baseman Hailey Hammer and pitcher/outfielder McKayla Bailey.

King said, “With the core group of players we have, we expect to be competitive all season and come out and put up wins. We will be aggressive on offense and put pressure on the other team’s defense.”

King is impressed by the nucleus of experienced players and said, “They are eager to learn and work hard.”

He added, “Our pitching

Five of the seven are sophomores and were forced into varsity action last season as freshmen. They suffered through a few growing pains along the way, but now they expect the year of experience to help better last year’s 1-18 record.

One of those youngsters, second baseman/third baseman Madeline Roberts, earned all-league honorable mention and received Coupeville’s Rookie of the Year award last spring.

The coaches are trying some of the players at new positions, and King said, “We may have some growing pains with this, but they understand the team comes first and have embraced the process to become a successful team.”

Co-coach Jackie Calkins said, “We have some talent coming together this year…

We also have more speed, power and leadership in some of our returning and our new players.”

She said the “Coupeville Wolves are going to be a different animal this year.”

OHHS soccer Underclassmen form core for Wildcats

Jim Waller/Whidbey News-Times

Senior Alexis Trumbull will be one of the regulars among the Coupeville pitching staff.

The promising underclassmen of the Oak Harbor boys soccer team will move to center stage this spring for the Wildcats.

Coach Brian Thompson returns 12 players from last year’s varsity roster but only one senior, Vance Freitas.

Three juniors, Caleb Gatica-Cortes, Matt Jensen and Isaiah Trower, return;

Gatica-Cortes was an all-Wesco honorable mention choice in 2011.

Rounding out the group are sophomores Daniel Ross, Ben McCornack, Alex Krantz, Andrew Mitchell, Tommy Murphy, Caley Powers, Kevin Silveira and Gavin Stewart.

Playing eight freshmen last season in the always strong Wesco wasn’t ideal, Thompson said, but their growth should help Oak Harbor be more competitive this year.

Thompson said although his young team “is still building,” it is “looking to have a great season.”

The Wildcats head directly into conference play when they open at Shorecrest at Shoreline Stadium Tuesday, March 13, at 7:30 p.m. The home opener is Monday, March 19, with Glacier Peak at 7:30 p.m.

Seven lettermen return to lead the attack for coach Paul Mendes: seniors Zach Forland (keeper, defender), David Hefflinger (midfielder), Taylor Phillips (defender) and Dylan Tack (midfielder, forward); juniors Nathan Lamb (midfielder) and Luke Pelant (defender); and sophomore Sean Donley (forward, midfielder).

Key newcomers include freshman Jeremy Copenhaver, junior Josh Wilsey and senior JP Ward.

Mendes said Copenhaver has “looked sharp and skillful in preseason,” Wilsey has “improved in all aspects of his game, and is now looking to be one of our play makers,” and Ward, is “stepping up to fill the void at striker/ forward.”

Mendes said, “We lost our highest number of seniors

(10) to graduation. This (year’s) group is not as large, but they have been eager to step up and take on the challenge.”

The Wolves’ defense, Mendes said, is the team’s strength.

Defenders Forland, Phillips and Pelant return from last spring, and “midfielders Dylan Tack and Nathan Lamb should be instrumental in linking our defense to our offense, and hopefully score some goals along the way,” Mendes said.

The multi-talented Forland will start in goal, Mendes said. “If other goalkeepers step up, Zach might play other positions as well.”

“Inexperience at the forward goal-scoring positions” is the team’s weak spot, according to Mendes.

Mendes said it is the team’s goal “to progress this season and to get in the tournament again.” He added, “If we advance to the quarter finals of state, we will make

Wesley said the team’s youth is both its weakness and strength. The inexperience could cause some bumps during the season, but “they have a chance to make something big in girls golf at OHHS,” he said.

He added, “Our outlook for the season is to improve and be competitive in league.

I’m also looking to get Annie back to state this year.”

Wesley said the Wildcats are “still learning the game of golf,” but he is “confident they will work hard and improve on their game throughout the season.”

Oak Harbor, which finished fourth in the Western Conference last year, starts the 2012 season at the Whidbey Golf and Country Club with the 14-team Whidbey Shootout Tuesday, March 20, at high noon.

The nucleus of this spring’s Oak Harbor boys golf team will be formed by three players who were among the squad’s top six last year.

The trio, Quinnton Wallace, Jacob Nelson and Caleb Knaack, will be joined by key newcomer senior Elias Whitefoot.

Whitefoot played for the Wildcats as a freshman and then moved out of state before returning this year.

Coach Jeff Pryor said his club’s strength is that “four of our top six players have

From there it drops off as eight members of his team are freshmen.

The newcomers have big golf bags to fill as the Wildcats lost four-time state participant and two-time, firstteam all-league performer Judd Ford to graduation. Also gone is Ford’s classmate, Greg Martin, another state qualifier and a second-team, all-league choice.

Pryor said the team’s goal is to “make the top three in the conference and take at least one golfer to the state tournament.”

The journey to those goals begins when Oak Harbor goes to Jackson Park Tuesday, March 27, at 2:45 p.m. for the season opening match with Shorewood and Marysville Getchell. The Wildcats aren’t at home until Thursday, April 19, with Mountlake Terrace and Getchell at 3 p.m.
