Dead gray whale towed to NAS Whidbey for exam

“Basically, it’s to look for a cause of death,” Klope said.

Samples of the whale’s skin and blubber, organs and blood were collected. Researchers will test for signs of disease and try to determine the general health of the animal before it died.

The corpse can also yield important research data about the environment the whale lived in, as biological samples will show the presence of heavy metals or any other toxins in the ocean, said Jessie Huggins, stranding coordinator with Cascadia Research.

A dead gray whale that was found floating in Saratoga Passage Sunday was necropsied on a beach on Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Monday.

According to Susan Berta, co-founder of the Orca Network, the whale was spotted by citizens in the early morning hours just north of Camano Island State Park. The whale remained in the same position for most of the day and was towed that evening to a beach off Polnell Point by Deception Pass Tours in Oak Harbor.

Several groups, including Cascadia Research, the state Department of Fish and

Wildlife and the Central Puget Sound Marine Mammal Stranding Network spent much of Monday necropsying the whale.

At 37 feet in length, it has been identified as a male age 6 to 7 years and weighing in at about 30 tons. As of Tuesday, following the necropsy, the whale’s identity and where it hails from were still unknown.

Researchers were also unable to say how the animal died as there were no visible indications of trauma or health problems.

Matt Klope, a volunteer with the Marine Mammal Stranding Network and a biologist who does work for the Navy, said determining what killed the whale was one of the main goals of the necropsy.

It took a lot of work to get to this point, but Oak Harbor leaders have finally narrowed the prospective sites for the new wastewater treatment plant to just two.

Members of the city council adopted a resolution last week that identifies Windjammer Park and “Crescent Harbor North” as the sites which will be further evaluated by the engineering firm hired by the city. The decision comes after more than two years and four public meetings, six city council workshops, nine formal city council meetings and dozens of committee meetings at which the issue was discussed.

City Engineer Eric Johnston said the plan is to have the analysis completed in time for the city council to pick the preferred site by midAugust. Engineers need time to submit a facilities plan, based on the final site, to state regulators by the end of the year.

“We’ve been looking at this from the 5,000-foot level,” he said. “We need to get down to the 2,000-foot level and narrow down the details.”

Judging from discussions at the council meeting, it isn’t going to be an easy decision. The council members have to consider the price tag that could reach as high as $95 million, the impact on monthly sewer rates, the type of technology to use, the possibility of phasing in the project, the effect on neighbors

Oak Harbor is ‘klompen’ for the fun of a festival

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

You can’t get more Dutch than Elmer Veldheer’s hand carved wooden “klompen” shoes. Add in a lively Oak Harbor parade, thrilling carnival and street fair stocked with local items, and you’ve got Oak Harbor’s Holland Happening weekend.

Elmer Veldheer was named Grand Marshal for the 2012 Holland Happening Parade.

He and his wife, Marlene, are flying in from Holland, Mich., for the festivities, which take place Friday, April 27 through Sunday, April 29.

The festivities were even named in honor of Veldheer’s work: The Year of the Klompen.

Veldheer, 82, has traveled to Oak Harbor for 20 years to carve wooden shoes to the open-mouthed astonishment of countless children and adults.

“They all enjoy it. They can just stand there and watch a shoe being made from a block of wood or an old stump. You end up with a nice shoe they can just slide their foot into and run around,” Veldheer said.

“When it’s all done by hand, people admire the work,” he added.

However, Veldheer said this will be his last year carving shoes in Oak Harbor due

to worsening arthritis that makes it painful for him to hold tools all day.

“He is the guy that everybody comes to see,” said Katie Salinas, Holland Happening director. “He has been a tradition in Oak Harbor for the longest time.”

Salinas added that everybody should come by to thank the old shoemaker and see how hard he works.

To carve a shoe, Veldheer begins with a plain block of wood. He carves the outside of the shoe, mostly with a hatchet, then puts it in a vise and takes the inside out of the shoe. That’s the hardest part, Veldheer said, because he has to make it comfortable to wear.

It takes Veldheer about three hours to make a nice pair of shoes, in contrast to the 14 minutes it takes for his brother’s shoe-making machines to create a pair.

His brother started a wooden shoe business more than 20 years ago and enlisted Veldheer to be a hand carver for demonstrations. Veldheer ventured to the Netherlands to learn how to carve shoes from a man who spoke hardly any English. Veldheer said he would sit beside the man and copy his process for two weeks.

Now, only one other person in Michigan still hand

“We do it just for the fun of it, for the hobby of it, to show how it was done a hundred years ago,” Veldheer said.

The Veldheers live on a farm where they grow 5 million tulips and raise wild buffalo. Thousands of tourists from more than five states visit their farm during local Dutch festivities each year.

“We have a lot of fun and do a lot of different things here on the farm,” Veldheer said by telephone this week.

“Veldheer” even means “here in the field” in Dutch, he added.

The Veldheers always extend their stay in Oak Harbor by a few days to visit the many friends they’ve made over the years, which is their favorite part of the journey.

“We just love the people. All the people are so kind. We’ve made a lot of friends over the years,” Veldheer said.

Save NAS Whidbey Task Force works to be prepared

By KATHY REED Staff reporter

Members of the Oak Harbor City Council were well received in Washington, D.C. That was the upshot of a meeting of the Save NASWI Task Force at Oak Harbor City Hall on April 19, although there is interest in upcoming projects that could affect Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Members of the city council have been traveling to the other Washington and the Pentagon for more than 20 years, ever since Whidbey Island Naval Air Station was put on the government’s Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) list in 1991. Since that escape from the list, the task force has made it a priority to keep NAS Whidbey’s name in front of the decision makers in Washington, D.C., touting positive things like lower expenses and quality of life to help keep the base off any future BRAC lists.

This year new Mayor Scott Dudley and council members Jim Campbell, Beth Munns, Bob Severns and Tara Hizon made the trip.

Kathy Reed/Whidbey News Times

Save NASWI Task Force Chairman Al Koetje, former mayor of Oak Harbor, reminds members and guests that if and when there are future base closure proposals, they must be ready.

“There were a lot of positive comments in reference to NAS Whidbey from those who had spent time here,” Dudley told the task force.

“Everything I got was positive,” agreed Severns. “There were questions about the fuel

line and about Boardman (training range).”

The jet fuel line in question is the one running from the Seaplane Base to Ault Field base, which the Navy is planning to replace, with cooperation from the city and

county. The other area for concern is that a number of wind turbines are being built near the Boardman Bombing Range near Boardman, Ore., along the Columbia River.

NASWI commanding officer, Capt. Jay Johnston, who is

not a member of the task force but was there to answer any questions pertaining to the Navy, said the real issue is the height of the wind turbines.

“The problem is low altitude tactical training and the windmills they’re building,” said Johnston. “There is a restricted area where the planes are flying at 500 feet and below, so the Navy is working on compatible land use plans. We’re looking at all types of mitigation.”

Some of the turbines being built are as tall as 495 feet, which could obviously impede low altitude training flights. According to Johnston, there are ongoing meetings being conducted to help reach a solution.

“It’s not an easy problem, because wind energy has exploded in that area,” he said. “But we’re not talking a lot of property.”

“As far as the windmills and the fuel line, they were offering help,” said Munns.

“They wanted to know ‘What can we do to help the base?’”

Another concern for task force members was the arrival of the P-8A Poseidon aircraft at NAS Whidbey. Johnston

reassured the group that getting four squadrons of P-8s at NAS Whidbey is still the Navy’s program of record.

Munns agreed that the plan to bring the Poseidon to Whidbey has support in Washington.

“They seem determined that Whidbey Island is the place for P-8s,” she said. “Of the five trips I’ve made, this one seemed the most conducive to Whidbey.”

It was Councilwoman Hizon’s first trip as an Oak Harbor representative.

“Our reception was extremely warm and welcoming and I was impressed with the level of knowledge. They had all done their homework,” she said.

“This was the second or third time I’ve made the trip,” said Councilman Jim Campbell. “Previously we would get a commander; every meeting this time was at the admiral level. I found it a very good trip, one of the best.”

According to Munns, consistency pays off.

“They all told me, ‘It makes a difference to make the trip,’” she said. “We are the only ones that are consistent.”

Recreational vehicle stowaway breaks into homes Death Notice

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A 30-year-old homeless man is accused of hiding in a German tourist’s RV to cross to Coupeville in a ferry, breaking into a couple of homes next to the ferry dock and drinking stolen booze until he passed out, court documents indicate.

Samuel Olmstead pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court March 26 to two counts of residential burglary. He’s being held on $100,000 bail.

Sgt. Mike Beech with the Island County Sheriff’s Office responded on Feb. 28 to a report of that an apparent homeless man who sneaked into an RV as it crossed

from Port Townsend to Central Whidbey in a ferry. The man jumped out and wasn’t located, but was described as a six-foot tall white male with a sunburn.

Then on March 1, Deputy Marshal Chris Peabody with the Coupeville Marshal’s Office responded to a possible burglary at an unoccupied summer home near the ferry dock on Keystone Avenue.

While he was checking the outside of the house, he saw a man sleeping on the floor of the house next door with alcohol bottles strewn about.

Beech responded to the home with a couple of other deputies. They entered the house and woke up the man with a peeling face.

The intoxicated man, who identified himself as Olmstead, admitted that he hopped the RV to get to Whidbey. He said he had nowhere to go, so he entered the summer home and starting drinking whatever he could find. He then broke into the neighboring house to look for food, according to Beech’s report on the incident.

Olmstead said his plan was to hang out for a few more days and then take off on a motorcycle that was in the garage, the report indicates.

If convicted of the charges, Olmstead could face up to three years and seven months in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Michael ‘Higgy’ Higinbotham Michael Higingbotham, 41, passed away suddenly April 19, 2012. A memorial service will be held Saturday, April 28 at 2 p.m. at Burley Funeral Chapel located at 30 SE Ely St. in Oak Harbor.

Museum director tapped to play Taps at Arlington National Cemetery After bugling for more than 40 years, a prominent Coupeville leader will experience a unique honor in May. Rick Castellano, director of the Island County Museum in Coupeville, said he was thrilled when he learned he was selected as one of 7,000 buglers invited to ceremony commemorating the 150th anniversary of the “Taps” bugle call. That ceremony takes place May

19 at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Castellano has been a ceremonial bugler since he was 14. Now, at age 56, he’s played countless ceremonies and funerals as a civilian bugler for the National Guard, American Legion, VFW, Elks and others.

Castellano said that he feels strongly that every deceased veteran deserves a live bugler at his or her

memorial service.

“I think it’s sad that many vets are honored with a digital recording of Taps stuffed into the end of a real bugle at their service, when I know there are plenty of us out there who can play the real thing for them. I feel it’s the least we can do,” Castellano said. “The veteran has earned it, their family deserves it, and it’s always a great honor and a privilege for the bugler.”

Pill coppers take unwanted drugs

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Law enforcement officials on Whidbey Island are once again working together to take drugs.

Saturday, April 28, the Island County Sheriff’s Office, the Oak Harbor Police Department and the Coupeville Marshal’s Office are holding a drug takeback event to help citizens unload unwanted medication.

This is the third year that the program, sponsored by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, is being held on the island. The purpose of the program is to prevent accidental poisonings, illicit drug use and water pollution by getting old and unused drugs safely out of the medicine cabinet.

For many people, finding a safe way to dispose of medication can be difficult. And there’s a shocking amount of unused prescription drugs out there.

Lt. John Dyer with the Oak Harbor Police Department said more than 1,000 pounds of pills were turned in to police during the last two drug take-back

events on Whidbey.

“It’s a serious issue for law enforcement,” Dyer said.

“We want to get unwanted drugs out of households so they don’t get misused or accidentally ingested.”

The proliferation of unwanted medicines is a public health problem.

Drug overdoses in the state are the leading cause of accidental death. Nearly 12 percent of teens in the state use prescription pain pills to get high, according to www.

TakeBackYourMeds.org.

In addition, many medications contain toxic chemicals that shouldn’t be flushed or thrown in the garbage for fear of polluting the environment.

The cops will be accepting drugs at three locations on the island, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 28. People can bring their unwanted medications to the Oak Harbor Police Department at 860 SE Barrington Drive, the Coupeville Marshal’s Office at 4 NE Seventh St., or the Sheriff’s precinct office at 5521 E. Harbor Road in Freeland.

Indiana man buys rights to Oak Harbor Liquor Store

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

After more than a month of receiving bids, a winner was named for the rights to Oak Harbor Liquor Store.

Brazil, Indiana, businessman Kulbir Singh earned the rights to the state-owned liquor store operating across from the movie theater in Oak Harbor. He won the auction with a $53,100 bid.

The Washington State Liquor Control auctioned its 167 liquor stores to meet requirements of voterapproved Initiative 1183, which required the state to get out of the liquor business.

Stores greater than 10,000 square feet will be able to start selling liquor beginning

June 1.

Singh described himself as an entrepreneur who owns gas stations, oil change stations, a hotel and car washes.

He became interested in purchasing some of the state’s liquor stores when he visited Washington earlier in the year. He said it helped that the liquor stores sell a high volume of product, only one party owned the stores and the facilities have been well maintained.

In addition to the rights of the Oak Harbor Liquor Store, he was successful in bidding for the rights to eight other liquor stores: South Federal Way, downtown Renton, Port Townsend, Evergreen Plaza in Tacoma, Pacific Highway in Federal Way, Indian Trail

in Spokane, Northtowne in Bellevue and Sequim. In all, he bid more than $1 million for the rights to those nine stores.

In 2011, the Oak Harbor Liquor Store made $2.3 million in gross sales.

The auction doesn’t give buyers places to sell liquor; it gives them the right to sell liquor out of a store less than 10,000 square feet in size.

Singh has to negotiate a new lease with the property owner. If those negotiations fall through, then he has the option of relocating nearby or re-selling the rights.

“We are planning on running the store the same,” Singh said in a telephone interview Monday.

The Oak Harbor Liquor

Store is wedged between three large stores, Walmart, Albertson’s and Safeway, that have applied for licenses to sell spirits. Singh said he wants to compete by offering a wide variety of liquor.

“We are going to cater to everybody,” Singh said.

The Oak Harbor Liquor Store was the only Whidbey Island location that was on the auction block. The other liquor stores in Coupeville, Freeland, Langley and Clinton are contracted by the state and will be grandfathered into the new regulations.

The auction of the rights to Washington’s 167 liquor stores wrapped up Friday and winners were announced Monday morning. In all, indi-

Ignite school sparks again in Coupeville

By NATHAN WHALEN Staff reporter

The Coupeville School District is once again in line to partner with an online school that specializes in career classes.

Ignite Education Group wants to partner with the Central Whidbey school district to offer an online school that emphasizes health sciences, business, technology, engineering and digital media. The Oregon-based

business originally chose a small school district in the Columbia basin. That deal apparently fell through and Superintendent Patty Page announced during Monday’s school board meeting that Ignite approached Coupeville again to see if there was any interest in partnering for an online academy.

School board members are concerned this time around because of the changes taking place in the school district.

“I’m a little hesitant because a new superintendent is coming into the school district,” board member Jeff Tasoff said Monday. The school district is looking for a replacement for Page, who is resigning her position to take over the superintendent position of the North Kitsap School District.

Don Sherman agreed with Tasoff while school board member Kathleen Anderson and Chris Chan wanted to move forward with the online

academy. Board member Carol Bishop was absent from Monday’s meeting.

“I’d hate to see us miss an opportunity for our kids,” Anderson said.

In the end, Page said she would check if the decision for the online academy can be delayed until the superintendent position becomes clearer. If not, then she will pull the plug on the proposal and Ignite would look for another school district.

vidual bids total $30.75 million and liquor store rights were awarded to 121 people.

With the auction complete, the next major deadline takes place in a little more than five weeks. June 1 is the date large stores can start selling liquor.

IN OUR OPINION

Anonymous tips fight child abuse Child sexual abuse is the last thing we like to write about. Nevertheless, two important stories on this appalling subject appeared on the front page of Saturday’s Whidbey News-Times.

One was about the trial of Ryan Stephenson, 27, who abused a 21-month-old baby so badly that the judge offered the jurors counseling after they were exposed to the gut-wrenching testimony and photographs. It only took a matter of minutes for the jury to find Stephenson guilty on charges that will likely send him to prison for 35 years.

The second story was about an Oak Harbor Cub Scout Leader, Anthony Polubinski, 30, charged with allegedly molesting a teenage boy beginning when the boy was only 8 or 9 years old. Authorities worry that because of the scouting connection, there may have been other victims, as alleged by the young man who came forward.

In all such cases, one can easily imagine that others knew of or suspected the abuse but never contacted authorities out of fear — fear of the suspect, or fear that their involvement would become public knowledge.

If you suspect a child is being abused, or you are being abused yourself, one of the best places to call is CADA (Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse). This nonprofit has been serving Island County for many years, knows how to protect the innocent, and calls are confidential. To make a report, call 675-2232, toll-free 1-800215-5669, or email cada@whidbey.com.

The Island County Sheriff’s Office provides a tip line that gives citizens an ability to call with confidential information. The number is 679-7319 or email tips@island. wa.us.

Whidbey Island Naval Air Station just recently established a way to report suspected criminal activity anonymously, including possible child abuse. “Text & Tip” is a text and web tip hotline so tips can be sent via cell phone or internet. Begin a tip with “NCIS,” add the information and send it to 274637 (TIPS).

Anonymous tip lines should be one of the best ways to fight child abuse if people would only use them more. If you even suspect child abuse is going on, take the time to make the anonymous tip. It might keep us from having to write more stories about these horrifying crimes.

Letters to the editor Critic welcome at Island Transit

I feel I must respond to Mr. Burnett’s letter (NewsTimes, April 18), as well as to several public forums where misinformation and untruths continue to be expounded upon. It is apparent that Mr. Burnett could not have attended one of the multiple, public, advertised community input meetings, hearings, and open houses held over these many years on the new Island Transit facilities project. If he had, he would be aware of and understand the facts.

Comparing the flight activities between the OLF and Ault Field is simply not relevant. The Outlying Field is used by pilots to practice carrier landings and is within a high noise zone. As noted in a Whidbey News-Times article of Nov. 11, 2006, “to help protect such facilities, (such as OLF), from encroachment, Congress expanded the Private Lands Initiative to allow the military to work with government and private

organizations to establish buffer areas around active training and testing areas.” At this time Island Transit purchased 7.5 acres which are now under a restrictive easement as a result of the Land Trust Initiative expansion. Island Transit, Whidbey Camano Land Trust and Plum Creek Timber worked very closely with the US Navy to ensure goals were met: encumber the land; provide agricultural land, scenic open space and critical wildlife habitat; protect a valuable military training area – without bringing new land into military fee ownership; and allow for the construction of the new essential Island Transit main base facilities.

Most distressing are the falsehoods continually uttered by Mr. Burnett and his cohorts that Island Transit misled Island County taxpayers about plans to use additional sales tax revenue provided by the 2009 ballot measure. Island Transit never stated nor remotely implied that the sales tax

would be used to construct the facilities project. Quite the contrary, we belabored the fact that the local sales tax is used to sustain, maintain, and to expand when possible transit services to our citizens and that we were seeking federal funds for our large capital facilities project.

Our doors have always been open and we always have welcomed the many people who have called, emailed, or visited us to ask questions, gain clarification on issues and provide input.

Our doors are as equally open to Mr. Burnett and we welcome a one-on-one visit with him at any time.

A recipe for paralysis

Kelly Emerson has proposed having a public vote prior to all future county tax and fee increases. (“Put new taxes before the public,” Whidbey News- Times, April 11).

This proposal is a wolf in

sheep’s clothing. It shows an alarming lack of faith in our American way of representational government. Our duly elected commissioners (including Ms. Emerson) were put into office to represent us and to administer existing county government.

That means maintaining services to citizens and prudently raising revenue as necessary.

Ms. Emerson’s proposal would paralyze county government while we wait for new costly and unnecessary advisory ballots. Perhaps an ineffectual, paralyzed government is Ms. Emerson’s goal. In that case we would destroy the county’s ability to maintain our islands’ infrastructure of necessary roads, services and public safety.

Rather than risk this by implementing a misguided proposal, we need thoughtful leadership and a well reasoned approach to building the future of Island County.

Thankfully Angie Homola and Helen Price Johnson are on the job.

Letters to the editor Fair helped

by Island Thrift A huge thank you goes out to Island Thrift for stepping in to fill the hole left by state legislators’ budget cuts. In today’s mail, we were overwhelmed to receive a check for $13,849 to ensure that prizes and premiums will be awarded to Whidbey Island Fair exhibitors this summer.

Island Thrift is truly a treasure house: the store itself is full of goods that still have lots of life; it serves as a regular source of near-new stuffed animals for young visitors to Fiddle Faddle Farm; and its operations generate gold doubloons to benefit many worthwhile causes ... including, now, Whidbey Island Fair.

Faced with the ongoing effort to eliminate fair funding from the state budget the past three years, Whidbey Island Fair asked and Island Thrift responded generously. We cannot thank them enough and, as part of that effort, would all of you reading this letter take a few minutes to simplify your lives by donating some gently-used items to the store? If you get there before the donation site closes at 4 p.m. you’ll have plenty of time to shop before the store closes at 5 p.m.!

What a wonderful asset we have in Island Thrift.

Please help support them so they can support others.

Postal service seeks out junk mail In my ongoing campaign against junk mail, I have found a new culprit: The US Postal Service itself.

The USPS is currently conducting a “direct mail” campaign to get more businesses to flood our mailboxes with garbage that we can’t refuse nor opt out of. The post office will tell you to go to www.dmachoice.org. It’s a lie. They already know that, because it’s not addressed to you, you can’t opt out (according to Brian at the Oak Harbor Post Office).

Also, the USPS is offering this campaign to send direct mail (the proper word is junk mail to everyone but the post office) at dirt cheap rates. This is while they are raising the rates on regular mail. How hypocritical can you get? It should be the junk mailers who pay more,

not the American taxpayer.

The purpose of this campaign is to prop up a dying and (soon to be) bankrupt postal system. Instead of shutting down more post offices and conducting layoffs, they attack the people who use the system the least --- us.

Let’s get enraged enough to contact our congressional representatives and tell them to right this wrong! If the American people continue to take a laissez faire attitude toward this, the USPS will continue to abuse the American people and wreak havoc on the environment.

Diatribe against the conservatives Wow, Edward Drum’s “Stop Obama, save America” letter sure hits all the right wing talking points. The first thing that struck me was the president having trouble repeating the oath of office.

I’d never watched it but knew that Justice Roberts blew the oath and the president had to be sworn in a second time. Justice Roberts spoke haltingly and mixed up the words, leading the president to speak out of turn and wonder if Justice Roberts was going to correct himself. He didn’t and the oath had to be given a second time.

I like to check quotes to find context and Googled “I don’t need to deal with Congress, I’ll bypass them.”

Amazingly enough, the only link was back to a letter identical to Edward Drum’s by M1324W. I presume they are the same person. Either the president was misquoted or more likely the quote was made up.

Yes, we’re up to our ears in debt. The Bush presidency is still haunting us. About one-third of the debt today comes from wars and tax cuts made by the previous administration. The current president shares some of the blame for not ending the wars and the Bush tax cuts.

Regressive conservatives want to turn the country into a Daddy State where gun totin’ Christian men get to make the rules and mete out punishment. I’d much prefer they play Daddy with their own family and leave me and our country out of it.

Republicans are the party of gut and spend. They keep hacking away at the safety net while comforting the powerful and rich. The

middle class continues in decline. The “used to haves” are in one boat and the “have most everything else” own the marina and the rest of the boats. There are two classes and most of us are in the lower one.

I wonder if my pension (an earned entitlement like Social Security) will be around as long as I am.

Others have not been so lucky.

Republicans are the party of large corporate government. We now have corporations writing bills for their pocket legislators to pass into law. The Citizens United decision brings the unlimited wealth of the wealthy to bear on our elections.

It’s brought us a wealth of GOP crackpots, a serial adulterer, another Texan and godly candidates. In the end, it seems we’ve ended up with Romney, a chameleon few voters like but he’s sure loved by corporations and the wealthy. He does have that “not Obama” thing going for him.

Please don’t take this letter as an endorsement for President Obama. It’s merely a diatribe against conservatism and the GOP. Walt Mistler Oak Harbor

On fireworks and graffiti The articles April 14 about public concern over fireworks danger and West Beach graffiti share this in common: It’s been happening for years. Right now little kids everywhere are discussing firecrackers and arguing about smoke balls being lame. Thirty years from now, their kids will probably do the same thing. Instead of trying to save us from ourselves, elected officials should focus on reminding people of the dangers and advocating common sense.

Likewise, spray painting rocks has been going on for a long time. Perhaps some kind of booby trap is needed. When my dad was little, he and his buddies stopped swiping watermelons when the farmer made a sign that read: “One melon is poisoned.”

More come forward against Cub Scout leader

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

The Island County prosecutor charged an Oak Harbor Cub Scout leader for allegedly raping and molesting one boy for years, but additional charges involving other victims are likely in the future.

Prosecutor Greg Banks formally filed charges against 30-year-old Anthony Polubinski in Island County Superior Court Monday.

Polubinski was charged with child molestation in the firstdegree, child molestation in the second degree, rape of a child in the second degree, rape of a child in the third degree, possession of child pornography and intimidating a witness.

The first-degree child molestation and seconddegree child rape charges include “special allegations” that the victim was particularly vulnerable and the defendant abused a position of trust. Such special allegations could potentially increase a sentence.

In convicted of the current charges, Polubinski could face from 17.5 years to just over 23 years in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Polubinski is being held in Island County Jail on $500,000 bail.

Banks said investigators are aware of “at least two

Jessie Stensland / Whidbey News-Times

Anthony Polubinski appears in court. other victims” who allege that Polubinski sexually assaulted them. He said it’s likely that more charges will be added later.

Polubinski was a Cub Scout leader in Oak Harbor, but there is no evidence that he molested any children he came in contact with through the group.

The alleged victim, who is now 18 years old, claimed that Polubinski started molesting and raping him when he was 8 or 9 years old. The young man said the sexual assaults occurred “thousands of times,” according to the report by Detective Laura Price with the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

Polubinski allegedly told the teenager not to tell about the abuse or it would “tear the family apart,” which is

why he was charged with intimidating a witness.

The victim said Polubinski took photos during the sexual assaults. The detectives obtained a search warrant and seized computers from the suspect’s home on Troxell Road. An investigator located pornographic images of the teenager in a search of the computers, according to the police report.

The young man said he witnessed Polubinski sexually assault three additional juvenile males, the report states.

In court last week, the defense attorney indicated that Polubinski is married and a stay-at-home dad. He is a lifetime Oak Harbor resident, a 1999 graduate of Oak Harbor High School and has a large extended family in the area.

Emerson ballot proposals falls in heated debate

By JUSTIN BURNETT Staff reporter

The fate of lone Republican Island County Commissioner Kelly Emerson’s advisory ballot proposals was decided in a fiery debate with her Democratic colleagues in Coupeville Wednesday.

Over the course of a heated 40-minute brannigan, commissioners Angie Homola and Helen Price Johnson made it clear that they would not support either of Emerson’s proposals for reasons that ranged from ballot expense and labor demand concerns to accusations of “political grandstanding.”

Earlier this month, Emerson made a surprise proposal at the board’s formal Monday meeting to use advisory ballots as a means of gauging public support for property assessments or fees prior to their approval by the commissioners.

At the time of her original proposal, Homola and Price Johnson did not reject Emerson’s motions outright but asked for time to consider them and then have a discussion at the board’s informal work session.

As promised, the issue was brought up Wednesday but this time Emerson brought a second proposal to the table.

She introduced a resolution to run the first advisory ballot this August by asking voters to weigh in on the Conservation Future’s Fund.

Justin Burnett / Whidbey News-Times

Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, right, listens to fellow Commissioner Kelly Emerson during a work session Wednesday. Emerson’s proposal to use advisory ballots before approving property assessments or fees will not move forward.

The pot of money is garnered from property taxes and is used to purchase or protect a variety of different types of land in Island County.

It’s an optional tax authorized by the state.

Emerson began by saying that the Conservation Futures Fund was approved by the board in 1991 without going out to the public first by ballot measure. She said she believed it was time to fix that and, like she did when she made her original pro-

posal, said she had met with the budget director and auditor and been assured there would be little to no financial impact if it was piggybacked onto an existing ballot, such as the August primary.

“Basically all we’re looking at it a little more ink,” Emerson said.

“I see absolutely no reason to not seek public input on this at this point in time,” she said.

But her fellow commissioners saw the matter dif-

ferently. Price Johnson said she “begged to differ” about a lack of public input when it came to conservation futures, first implemented by three Republicans. The annual budget approval process is very open with multiple chances for the community to weigh in, she said.

Emerson argued that the advisory ballot would be more inclusive to those who can’t attend public meetings, but when Price Johnson responded by saying the proposal was a “fundamental change to county government,” Emerson went on the offensive.

Interrupting and then ignoring Price Johnson’s appeal for a chance to speak, Emerson claimed that advisory ballots are not uncommon and in no way represented a shift in government process.

“It may be a fundamental change to your county government,” Emerson said.

“Commissioner Emerson, you’ve made a proposal,” Price Johnson said. “Did you not want to have discussion about it?”

“I do but I want to have an apples to apples discussion,” Emerson responded. “You’re dreaming up scenarios where this has never happened.”

Much of the rest of the discussion was similarly heated but tensions reached a breaking point when Homola said she would like Island County Auditor Sheilah Crider to address Emerson’s claims that advisory ballots would come at little to no expense to county coffers.

Homola said she had reviewed the audio recording of the recent Monday meeting and had just finished reciting the exact time on the tape when Emerson interrupted again, saying she wanted to clarify her earlier comments.

Homola asked that she not be interrupted while speaking only to be interrupted again.

“Well, rule me out of order then,” Emerson said.

Crider did testify during the meeting and claimed she never said an advisory ballot would come at no cost to the county, though she did acknowledged that piggybacking issues onto existing ballots can be affordable.

Countywide elections, such as the August primary, are paid for by billing out municipalities or junior taxing districts with ballot measures for their particular share. Even if the ballot is packed with issues, the county would still have to pay for its part and the money would come from the general fund.

“There would be a cost,” Crider said.

“There are no free elections,” she said.

She could not say, however, exactly how much it would

cost to put the conservation futures issue on the August primary ballot, nor could she say at the time how much it cost to put the highly controversial Proposition 1 measure on the ballot in 2010.

Emerson argued vociferously that Homola and Price Johnson had no trouble bearing the cost of that proposed tax increase, which was expected to generate over $2 million in 2011.

“What is wrong with us seeking public input?”

Emerson said.

Price Johnson said she is “100 percent” about community input but doubted Emerson’s true motives.

“If this were truly about citizen engagement and informing voters, you have my support,” she said. “This is not. No, this is political grandstanding.”

She went on to say there were other vehicles to get public opinion, such as public surveys, and that she is open to those kinds of ideas.

However, she would not the use of advisory ballots, which she said would cost money and overburden the auditor’s office.

“This may be really good for Tim Eyman or maybe even the Tea Party but I think Island County wants us to do our job,” Price Johnson said.

Homola made it equally clear that she would not support either of Emerson’s proposals, saying she believed she was elected to make tough choices and that it was pointless to pay for public input when the current public hearing process accomplishes the same thing for free.

“At the end of the day, it comes right back to us to make a decision,” Homola said.

Coupeville, a 1A school, didn’t have the depth to challenge Oak Harbor for the team title, but its members recorded 35 season-best marks in the meet, according to coach Randy King.

Wolf junior Madison TisaMcPhee earned Female Athlete of the Meet honors by winning the 300 meter hurdles (49.4, the state’s seventh-best 1A time), finishing second in the 100 hurdles (16.55, state’s fourth-best 1A time) and running on the winning 4x200 relay team with Jai’Lysa Hoskins, Katie Smith and Marissa Etzell (1:54.2, 1.2 seconds off the school record).

Oak Harbor freshman Dejon Devroe was awarded the Male Athlete of the Meet honor. He won the 200 (23.76) and 400 (50.74, the state’s 10th-best 3A time), finished fourth in the long jump (18-01) and joined Peter Franssen, Chris Opdyke and Carlton Johnson to win the 4x400 relay (3:42).

Josh Schrum (800, 2:03.5; 1,600, 5:01.99), Alex Laiblin (1,600, 5:35.74; 3,200, 12:33.59), Jessica Hollins (100, 13.42; 200, 27.85) and Raeanna Wynne (100 hurdles, 16.49; triple jump, 32-11) were other double winners for Oak Harbor.

Schrum also won the boys distance medley relay (11:58.36) with Marcel Weaver, Chris Opdyke and Matt Reith.

Hollins added a win in the 4x100 relay (53.5) with Christina Alexander, Dejsha Lollar and Sierra Seabolt.

He said his military family moved from North Carolina in 2007. Since leaving he has been interested in returning, so he filled out athletic questionnaires for a number of schools in the state.

UNCP showed the most interest and offered him a partial scholarship to run cross country and track.

Reith said, “It is really nice to go somewhere that wants me.”

He added that his parents find is a “bit worrisome” that he is moving to the other side of the country, but “they are excited for me and are totally supportive of where I want to go.”

Reith was a first-team Wesco 3A and state qualifier in cross country last fall, and finished fourth in the 3,200 and sixth in the 1,600 in district track last spring.

UNCP is a Division II school of about 6,000 students.

NJROTC regional meet comes to Oak Harbor

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

It meant commitment to early morning practices and hard work at Saturday meets, plus the discipline, leadership and precision expected of students in the Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps.

But their perseverance paid off as the Oak Harbor High School NJROTC Wildcat Battalion qualified for the regional meet, which will be held at Oak Harbor High School Saturday, April 28.

The public is welcome to watch the all-day competition.

Wildcat Battalion finished their season as division champions in five out of six categories: Color Guard #1, Color Guard #2, Armed Drill Team, Unarmed Drill Team and Air Rifle Team.

Physical Strength Team #1 placed second overall in the division and Physical Strength Team #2 placed fourth; both qualified for the regional meet. In addition, Oak Harbor will have representatives in the Individual (Devin Peterson) and Dual (Josh Koorn and Peterson) Armed Exhibition Drill.

NJROTC curriculum teaches citizenship, leadership and naval history.

Students also participate in drill meets. Of the 32 schools in the conference, only the top four division finishers move on to regionals.

While their 6:30 a.m. practices prove their dedication, the students are clearly passionate about the program and eager to spread the word, as many students joined at the recommendation of friends.

Wildcat Battalion Commander Joyce Abides, a senior, said she joined NJROTC because a friend in the program suggested it.

“I just got hooked,” Abides said. Now, she has earned the highest student position as commander, a hefty responsibility that requires much organization, coordination and planning.

Abides, who said that Unarmed Drill Team became her main drive

Oak Harbor High School students compete at the regional meet in 2010, the last time it was held in Oak Harbor, exhibiting drill moves and marching to show precision teamwork. to stay in the program, described a drill meet.

Students stand at attention while they are inspected and tested by members of various military branches.

They must also perform a list of drill orders.

Exhibition is the time for the teams to display the movements they’ve practiced for months. For Unarmed Drill Team, students memorize drill moves and perform them as a group, with an emphasis on precision and moving well together, Abides said.

Senior Josh Koorn is the commander of the Armed Drill Team. He recently enlisted in the Army.

“I heard ROTC was a great thing to get into,” Koorn said, adding that it provides leadership and discipline.

Armed Drill Team consists of spinning and throwing rifles in unison. To prepare for regionals, Koorn has been teaching the team new spins, how to toss their rifles higher and he added some tougher moves to the end of their exhibition.

Sophomore Amanda Simpson is also on the Armed Drill Team. She attributed her reason for joining NJROTC to the movie “Cadet Kelly,” in which a teenaged girl who is forced to join a military school thrives on the drill team.

“At almost 8 years old, I thought, ‘I want to do that

someday. I want to do that when I get in high school,’” Simpson said. While it gets tough juggling classes, late-night homework and early-morning practices, “It’s worth it. It’s probably my favorite class here,” Simpson said.

Many people think the program is overly disciplined, “but really, the program is fun,” Koorn said of NJROTC. “I learned a lot about honor in the program,” Koorn said, adding that his grade point average increased after he joined NJROTC. “It helps you become a better citizen overall,” Abides said of the NJROTC program. Not only does the program teach discipline and leadership but it also teaches national history.

“Because not that many people know who the secretary of state or defense are,” Abides said.

The Distinguished Unit Award is presented to the

top ROTC units in the nation, an honor OHHS has received numerous times.

One perk of having such an acclaimed program is that the school principal is given an additional three appointments to the United States Naval Academy, West Point and the Air Force Academy, allowing more Oak Harbor students the chance to study at these distinguished schools --- as long as they still earn the grades to get in.

NJROTC students also earn opportunities like performing color guard duties for the Mariners’ first game of the season each year, which students Rebecca Holloman and sisters Therese Desquitado and Tricia Desquitado participated in last year.

Some of the aspects of the program most appreciated by the students are their personal growth and the friends they’ve made.

Junior Mat Sypert grew personally through the pro-

gram, a sentiment echoed by other students, including Therese Desquitado.

“It helped me be a lot more open,” Sypert said.

“I think it also helps build up confidence,” Therese Desquitado said, adding that she was scared to join her first year, but after that, she opened up, became more outgoing and now feels she can show who she is as a person.

Through the many hours of practice and class time, the students said they’ve grown together.

Despite the challenging and competitive nature of the program, the students and teachers always end up feeling like a family, Holloman said.

NJROTC instructors Chief Bill Thiel and Commander Mike Black are always there for the students, Koorn said.

“We pretty much become part of a family. We’re all friends in this unit,” Koorn said.

Olympic View principal retires after leading turnaround North Whidbey Middle principal to take her place

By REBECCA OLSON Staff reporter

As Olympic View Elementar y School Principal Martha Adams plans to retire at the end of this school year, she said she has a lot to be proud of in the five years she led the school.

Laura Aesoph, principal of North Whidbey Middle School, will take over as Olympic View principal next school year.

“I just decided I would retire while I still enjoyed my job and while I’m still kind of at the top of my game,” Adams said.

Adams entered the field of education as an elementary school teacher in 1973.

She joined the Oak Harbor School District in 2006 as principal of Clover Valley Elementary School, then moved to Olympic View Elementary after Clover Valley closed.

She was also a principal in California, Everett and Snohomish.

“The proudest would have been last year when we got the three major academic awards,” Adams said of her time at Olympic View Elementary.

In 2010, Olympic View earned the Washington Achievement Award, given by the Washington State Board of Education and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, the

Apple Award, given by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the school was named a School of Distinction by the Center for Educational Effectiveness.

“And the credit goes to the staff and the students for working so hard,” Adams said.

These victories came after an especially tough time for the school. In 2009, the school failed to meet standards for state testing and was placed on the federal school improvement list.

“It was quite the blow,” Adams said, adding that she took it very personally.

But the staff and students worked hard to overcome the setback and went from the bottom to the top as a School of Distinction.

“Really, the hard times served to unify and make us stronger and that’s OK. We don’t seek them out but difficult parts make us stronger and better as educators,” Adams said.

The most fulfilling aspect of her time at Olympic View Elementary was working in a military community for the first time. She worked with students from around the world. Although each student averages less than three years in a community, that didn’t keep staff and students from becoming close.

“This is the first time I’ve worked in a military community and the students and staff are just such a family and it’s truly been rewarding to work with people who care so much about each

LOCAL SINCE 1985

Rebecca Olson/Whidbey News-Times

Olympic View Elementary School Principal Martha Adams, who will retire at the end of the school year, stands in front of one of the school’s greatest achievements during her time there, the Washington Achievement Award, which the school earned after working hard to overcome federal school improvement status. other,” Adams said.

After retiring, Adams said she plans to continue her boating hobby and possibly do some traveling.

Adams recently earned her National Mentor Principal Certification, which qualifies her to act as a mentor to first-year principals. She has been mentoring a new principal in Anacortes this year and will continue to mentor after she

retires.

“I want to stay connected but just in a different way,” Adams said, adding that she will continue to live in Anacortes after she retires.

Adams’ replacement, Aesoph, said she looks forward to returning to the elementary level.

She did her principal internship at Olympic View Elementary in 1998 and was the principal of Hillcrest

Elementary School from 2000 to 2007.

“I really did enjoy working at the elementary level,” Aesoph said.

Aesoph said North Whidbey Middle and Olympic View Elementary schools share many families and experiences, including that both had trouble meeting state standards and both use the same teaching approaches.

She has seen Olympic View Elementar y accomplish many achievements and

North Whidbey Middle is on the same path.

“I developed a very strong fondness for the school,” she said of Olympic View Elementary, “and the staff and families there. So I feel like I’m going home at this point.”

The need for a new principal for North Whidbey Middle will be filled through a competitive statewide search.

health,” Huggins said.

While the whale’s early demise is unfortunate, the information its carcass leave behind is extremely valuable, especially because it can provide research data that is otherwise very difficult to obtain.

“These kinds of questions can’t be answered with live whales,” Huggins said.

According to Klope, volunteers will spend the next few days cleaning the whale’s skeleton the best they can. The bones will then spend the next two months submersed at the Seaplane Base marina for sea creatures to finish the job.

“We’re not going to waste our time cleaning them when Mother Nature can do a much better job,” he said.

Once raised, the skeleton will spend a few weeks bleaching in the sun before being donated and shipped to the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.

and the future of the city’s popular waterfront park, long the butt of smelly jokes over the existing sewer plant.

Carollo, a California-based engineering firm, used a “triple bottom line plus” analysis to judge six potential sites in and around the city. The engineers scored the different sites on a wide variety of factors, including cost, ease of construction, public health, the impact on neighbors and water quality.

The Crescent Harbor North site earned the most points under the analysis. It consists of a 24-acre site on private property on the north side of Crescent Harbor near Torpedo Road. The area is just outside city limits and includes nine properties under four ownerships. Two of the property owners indicated they may be interested in selling. The estimate for a membrane bioreactor plant --- the cleanest type of system being considered --- at the site is about $95 million.

Besides the cost, the other main disadvantage of the site is the impact on residents. There are the property owners who may be forced to sell their homes and neighbors who don’t want to live next to a sewer treatment plant, even if it is virtually odor free.

“There are people who live there and the city is very, very sensitive to their personal property concerns,” Johnston said in an interview.

Several of the people who live in the Crescent Harbor area spoke in opposition to the site, expressing concerns about groundwater and wetlands.

Others were concerned about the cost.

“We have a responsibility to the public to keep the costs down and the only way we’re going to do that, honestly, is with Windjammer Park,” Ferron Rice said.

The Windjammer site, the location of the current plant, is the second choice. The main advantage is the cost savings because of its location. All sewage in the city runs to the pump station at Windjammer, meaning the city won’t have to install a costly conveyance system and lift stations to pump all the sewage to the other side of town.

The preliminary cost estimate for a membrane bioreactor plant at Windjammer is $90 million.

Yet Johnston said the Windjammer site offers the city the greatest opportunity to phase in the project, which is also the best way to control sewer rates. Under this approach, the city could build the first phase and get it up and running at Windjammer for less than $70 million by the 2017 target date.

The disadvantage of

Windjammer is also the location.

Many residents don’t want the new facility built in the middle of the waterfront park.

“We do not want to lose one inch of that park for a sewer treatment plan,” said Dee Harbour, a member of the city’s park board.

Resident Mel Vance said the public is opposed to a sewer plant in the park.

“The only universal answer that you will receive is, ‘Don’t put it in the park,’” he said, suggesting that council members ask residents where they want the plant sited.

Yet Johnston stressed that the Windjammer “site” to be evaluated includes other property, including commercial land, in the vicinity of the city’s popular waterfront park. Conceivably, the facility could be built only partially in the park, or outside the park completely.

Johnston told the council that engineers will be looking at other options that could impact costs, including the possibility of building an activated sludge system at the Crescent Harbor site.

The system takes more space than a membrane bioreactor and requires multiple processes to produce water that’s almost as clean as a membrane bioreactor plant, but it would save money.

The public will have further opportunities to weigh in.

HOW AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM HELPED CREATE A MODEL FOR

THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN BREMERTON.

When the owners of Rice Fergus Miller, an architectural, interiors and planning firm, outgrew their location, they decided to convert an abandoned building in downtown Bremerton into their new office and studio. So they turned to Bank of America for land and construction loans to help realize their vision of designing the most energy-efficient office building in the Pacific Northwest. The building was awarded LEED Platinum certification and helped spark the city’s redevelopment. The area is now home to new parks, shops and offices — many of which Rice Fergus Miller designed.

Rice Fergus Miller is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in Bremerton — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.
